Answer 1

I also faced same problem, but I have done using two server side calls on one click. In this, in first call submit data and get its id in callback using JSON then upload image using this id. On server side updated data and image using this id.

$('#btn_Submit').on('click',function(event) {
   event.preventDefault();
   if(event.handled !== true)
   {
      var ajax_call = serviceURL; 
      var str = $('#frm_id').serialize();                 
      $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: ajax_call,
      data: str,
      dataType: "json",
      success: function(response){
              //console.log(JSON.stringify(response))
        $.each(response, function(key, value) { 
              if(value.Id){                               
                   if($('#vImage').attr('src')){
                         var imagefile = imageURI; 
                          $('#vImage').attr('src', imagefile);
                        /* Image Upload Start */
                          var ft = new FileTransfer();                     
                        var options = new FileUploadOptions();                      
                        options.fileKey="vImage";                      
                        options.fileName=imagefile.substr(imagefile.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
                        options.mimeType="image/jpeg";  
                        var params = new Object();
                        params.value1 = "test";
                        params.value2 = "param";                       
                        options.params = params;
                        options.chunkedMode = false;                       
                        ft.upload(imagefile, your_service_url+'&Id='+Id+'&mode=upload', win, fail, options); 
                      /* Image Upload End */
                   }      
               }

             }); 
          }
     }).done(function() {
          $.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg();              
     })

   event.handled = true;
  }
  return false;
});

On server side using PHP

if($_GET['type'] != "upload"){
  // Add insert logic code
}else if($_GET['type'] == "upload"){
  // Add  logic for image 
  if(!empty($_FILES['vImage']) ){ 
    // Copy image code and update data  
  }
}
