Hey friends this is my third blog this months and it shows how active i am in this blog;)....Over last few days i have been receiving mails .The focus of these mails mainly is
1.)Windows 6.5 for Ultimate devices
2.)Lot of queries with Jama devices
The first requires lot of time and dedication,so with little time i had i decided to focus on the latter.
This post will focus on Jama 201 device.The Jama series were the low cost devices .Wheres all others were PDA,Jama 201 is a smartphone with looks similar to Blackberry..There is one thing that not many knows about this devices that by default it boots from memory card.It means whenever it is started ot turned on it will by default look to boot from memory card.If memory card is not present it will look in rom.This is the very reason you must have noticed why this device hangs when you have memory card inside and you restart the device.
So guys the lesson never restart the device with memory card in
Another complication with this device is how to upgrade it.The upgradation is different from other PDA,s.As it is done using memory card.I have given the steps below
How to upgrade JAMA201 devices:
- Format the memory card as "FAT" format
- Create a New Folder in the memory card.
- Download the rom from the link http://www.easy-share.com/1908649736/UpgradeCard_GL.zip
- Switch on your device & check your radio version
- Go to Start > Settings > ROM Version
- Scroll down to check the Module Software Version
- If the Module Software Version is GL_CMC_ then copy all the files under the upgrade card 7273 in the G drive to the SD card, deleting MOBILE_XP_BP_S71PL & renaming MOBILE_XP_BP_S71GL to MOBILE_XP_BP
- If the Module Software Version is PL_ or DMC_ then copy all the files under the upgrade card 7273 in the G drive to the SD card, deleting MOBILE_XP_BP_S71GL & renaming MOBILE_XP_BP_S71PL to MOBILE_XP_BP
- Remove the flash card from your PC
- Remove the battery & place the SD card in then place the battery back in
- The LED should start flashing indicating the upgrade process is in progress
- Once the LED turns GREEN, remove the battery & the SD card then place the battery back in.
- If the battery is low the CP will not be installed. Therefore it is better to plug in the device on the charger at this stage to have a successful installation for the CP.
To apply force upgrade:
- You need to press & hold the reset button once you place the battery in & the LED is on.
- Unhold once the following messages are displayed on the screen: Checking version.. Updating OS.. & the LED starts flashing slower.
- Wait till the LED becomes GREEN
- Remove battery & SD card then place battery back in.
- If the battery is low the CP will not be installed. Therefore it is better to plug in the device on the charger at this stage to have a successful installation for the CP.
To hard reset the device, please press & hold the POWER & RESET buttons for 10 seconds.
All if done properly the rom upgrade is successful.
