In a reported question, the word order is the same as in a statement, with no auxiliary 'do/does/did' and no question mark. Questions without a question word use 'if' or 'whether'. 'He asked me where I had bought the bag.' is correct: the word order is direct and the tense moves back. 'They asked if I could help them.' is correct: 'if' introduces a yes/no question. 'She wanted to know whether we had finished.' is correct: 'whether' is used and the tense is shifted. 'She wondered what time did the film start.' is wrong because it keeps question word order; it should be 'what time the film started'. 'I asked her that she was ready.' is wrong because 'that' cannot introduce a question; it needs 'if' or 'whether'. 'He asked me do I like jazz.' is wrong because it has no 'if/whether' and keeps the auxiliary 'do'.
