ROM updates / whats new in them?

Hello i just upgraded my QTEK from ROM Version 3.14.06 ENG to ROM Version 3.16.13 ENG and from Radio Version T313 to Radio Version 3.19.01. Everything worked fine and the ROM and the RSU were upgraded with success but idnt find any deffrence the device is still the same as for the GPRS i was hopping that when the device goes to standby it wont disconnect. Any idea what are the changes in the new ROM i have installed and the bugs that were fixed. If there is new ROM updates then the one i got from qtek.dk where are theyand will they work on my QTEK 1010 32MB.
Thanks

)

Where can i get them from?
Thanks for your reply, but where can i find those updates and will they work after the current upgrade that i made. Finally will they work on the Qtek 1010.
Thanks

as I said... 3.16.43 is unofficial and I can't share it... 3.15.15 is out there somewhere (use the Search function )

Couldnt find it!
Hi again i can find the new ROM versions that you instructed me to use instead of the ones i download it. Can you provide me with a direct URL to download the 3.15.15 + 4.16 ROM and will they replace the 3.16.13 Version.
Please advise
Thanks

Interesting. Can you tell me which site you been to that you manage
to upgrade your qtek before?

Sure ,
a while ago you could have found it on www.qtek.dk but for an unkown reason they have removed its link from the main page now you can find here:
http://qtek.dk/software/
Enjoy
:wink:

be careful how you give information
Hi,
Please be very careful how you give out information.
You have screwed up I believe many people who got
their device frozen and cannot be used after trying to
upgrade the ROM and Radio Stack from the website
you provide without warning people of the serious
damage it could cause if the Rom & Radio Stack
upgrade is not from the same source.
It is good that you are trying to help people but I hope
you could continue doing it BUT please give a complete
and proper advise. Hope you get my message.

One of the victim

I expect people who buy this device to have a certain amount of IQ. Everybody knows flashing them IS dangerous, so they should know as much as possible on the item.
Before I flashed the device for the first time, I've already read EVERYTHING which is in the ROM Upgrade forum and everything which mentions ROM on this site. I knew which is the best, I knew where to get it, I knew I can screw it up and I knew how to NOT screw it.
It's peoples fault if they brick their units.

i dont know where to start with this but i should agree with Zviratko 100%
we expect people who buy this devices to have a certain amount of IQ and knowledge most of us here are pros.
Please understand that if you dont know what you are dealing with dont bother doing it. Read all the forums and pages of Xda-developers they contain the biggest archives about those products, learn then apply.
Zviratko is one of these important resources learn from him i know i did!

Dear all
finally it's done and you can enjoy the latest upgrade and here's the instructions.
How to upgarde your Qtek 1010 ?
i have uploaded the Software ROM upgrade at the following site with the help of our friend Antonin Hruska LumpiStefan who provide me free space and thanks to Markh for mirrored the updates with some UK 02 specific instructions .
Download the upgarde files from the mirrored site since the prevous link was not working here
1. Backup your data via ActiveSync or onto a Storage Card. if you don't have ActiveSync you can dowload it here
2. Upgrade the CE build before upgrading the Radio build by running this file first RUU 3.16.52.exe
3. Attach your Qtek 1010 directly to the computer with either a USB cable or Serial cable
4. Ensure the ActiveSync connection is running and is connected to the device and make sure it's connected to the power.
5. After the hard reset the CE update is complete.
6. Reconfigure CE and restore your data.
7. Attach Your Qtek 1010 to the computer again and disconnect the power supply and make sure it's charged Minimum 70 % & it's highly recommended to set off the Security PIN or disable it through start/settings/personal/phone as advice by Mr. Waleed in another threat on this forum
8. Run this file RSU 3.23.01.exe
9. After the soft reset the radio update is complete.
if your device didn't start the upgrade for any reason do hard rest and follow the instructions carefully
good luck and enjoy your little toy
if you need to contact me for any reason this is my E-Mail address [email protected]
Regards.

Othman great job man. I upgraded my QTEK and everything is working great. The GPRS always on is excellent so as the WM. really man you saved us all. Great job man 2 thumbs up. I will be posting the ROMs on my site too very very soon so i can help in spreading the message.
The upgrades are great, thanks again.

Really GOOD. Othman, thanks a lot, you are our rescuer.

Hi
Guys did any one tried the upgrade for t-mobile?
or did any one used the upgrade for 900/1900 XDA?
Thanks
:shock:

The Qtek upgrade will only upgrade the Qtek (unless you twiddle the bits in the binary as described elsewhere on this forum).
BUT it cannot be used to upgrade a T-Mobile or AT&T device. The build is 900/1800 only and you will lose you 1900 ability, ie it won't work in the USA.

Where can i find the new English upgrade for t-mobile pocket pc?
:shock:

o2.nl site now telfort.nl...and I can't find a thing anymore

I find it rather disturbing that on the new Telfort.nl site (that replaced the o2.nl site as of today or a little earlier) I cannot find any real support for the XDA. I wanted to check is there's a newer radio stack upgrade than 4.21, but all you can find is stuff about XDA configuration.
Does anyone know where to find the most current ROM upgrades?
Or can someone confirm that the ROM upgrades from O2 UK and O2 IE are the same?
Apologies for this rather n00bie question.

Newbie question: Upgrade to PPC 2003 w/unique ROM & Rad

Let me apologize if someone has asked this before (however I did search and found nothing). I also want to apologize if I sound stupid - I'm incredibly new to all this technology.
The Device: I have a "Siemens SX56" which I now know has many other names (thanks to this website). My ROM version is R.20.11 ENG dated 06/05/03, my Radio version is A.20.10 and my Protocol version (don't have a clue what it does) is 324e4. My wireless GSM carrier is Rogers in Canada.
The Problem: I wish to upgrade the device from Pocket PC 2002 (currently installed) to Pocket PC 2003. Microsoft only allows the manufacturer to provide this upgrade. Siemens does not have an upgrade for this device for people using the Rogers product in Canada. They do however have the upgrade available to AT&T subscribers in the U.S.
The Questions: Does anyone know if I can use the Siemens AT&T upgrade without any problems? What differences are there between these products? I noticed that my ROM and Radio versions were not included in the profile list (they must be fairly unique) does anyone have any familiarity with them and if so, how are they different from the newer versions? Can I update my ROM version to something less unique and still retain my wireless GSM carrier? Siemens and Rogers have been thoroughly unhelpful.
Thank - you for all your help.

It is so easy to upgrade to 2003.
Over hundreds posts are in the forum about upgrading to 2003
If you still cannot get it, contact me to help you. I'm in Toronto, Canada

thanks cgigate,
I too read MANY messages in this forum about upgrading to 2003 but haven't found anything that dispels my concerns about upgrading a phone with Rogers AT&T as the carrier.
Can you provide a link? What file(s) should I be looking for?
Also, a couple of other things...
1. Is there a way to backup my SMS messages before the upgrade and then restore them after the upgrade?
2. Has anyone found a solution the the "increasing ring" or volume clipping that was included in the new ROM's?
Thanks again! PS. I'm in Mississauga.

Rogers is my concern
Thanks Cgigate,
My concern is the same as Guiness.... how will the update effect a Rogers phone? The Siemens website clearly states that the upgrade is NOT for a rogers phone so I'm a little concerned. I did search the forums for any information on this and found nothing to this specific issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Sean
P.S. I'm in Markham/Toronto.

Update
Well, Siemens finally posted on their website an upgrade for WM2003 for the Rogers phones. You can find it here: http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...C%2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda%2F,00.html
I downloaded it and followed the instructions. The Radio Stack was upgraded successfully, however, the thing pooched during the ROM update. Phone is dead - won't turn on at all. I contacted the Rogers guy I bought the phone from and he has sent it in to get reflashed.... crappy!

Hey senmc,
I just followed your link to the Siemens upgrade for Rogers users in Canada.
I did the download, full upgrade (Radio Stack and OS) and it worked flawlessly!
I'm up and running without any problems... except, of course, I am having the same volume issues that everyone else has written about.

I just went to the Siemens site.
It says..." the upgrade is no longer avaliable"!!!
Does anyone know where else can I find the upgrade?

Try this link:
http://downloads.rogers.com/wireless/products/phones/siemens/Siemens_SX56_Software_Upgrade.exe
Here is the update to WM2003 directly from Rogers.
(I've got some problems with this ROM used in the ROMkitchen. But in the original format it should work fine....)

O2 ROM upgrade to 3.14.206.1

Hi all,
I was wondering if you had any info at all? I can see that version 3.14.206.1 is availible for t-mobile, orange etc in the UK, but good old O2 still show v 1.72.
I spoke to O2 today who said that they have version 3.14 live.
She sent me an email with a URL in it, but that URL goes to the download page on the HTC site for version 1.72.
I called back and the advisor 'Ben' I spoke to, and the technical team were all adament that O2 had made version 3.14.206.1 live weeks ago and it should be on the site.
I told them that I had been checking for weeks and had not seen it go live, and that I had not heard about it on this and other HTC forum sites. They argued that it was there and that HTC may have taken it down? Surely HTC will tell me to go away as I am not a direct customer of theirs and that I have a vendor locked phone and send me back to O2 for me to go around in circles again?
They now tell me I need to contact HTC direct as the link goes to their site. A copy of the email is below :
Thank you for your recent handset enquiry regarding software on your handset. Please find details of how to upgrade your handset software to version ROM: 3.14.206.1 below.
Visit the HTC website and follow the instructions.
Upgrade URL: htc . com /uk /SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=937&news_id=636 (sorry had to format it as it would not let me post URLS)
We hope this has answered your question. Please note that replies to this email will not be actioned.

As far I know the 3.14 O2 stock rom version isn't available jet. I know that O2 have update the rom for the HD Mini but for the HD2 nothing to find.

Well I really hope they pull their fingers out! If not I may have to put Android on it...
I have used O2 for over 8 years and they have always been slow to get ROM updates up, but in the last few years they have been terrible!

O2 (UK): 3.14.206.1, O2(Germany): 3.14.207.1
Maybe old news but just saw that 18.2.2011 a new HD2 O2 rom is being offered at HTC: http://tinyurl.com/new-O2-ROM-3-14

The latest o2 update is on the HTC website htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1088&news_id=871
but as per usual im gonna miss that update as my phones being repaired
please let me know whether it makes the phone any faster thanks =D

hmm strange that it still doesnt show up on the regular support - hd2 - downloads list on htc.com
Typical O2 to be the last to release, and still get it wrong.

Mirror download link.
In case of; here you have a mirror download link of the; O2 (UK): 3.14.206.1
Thanks to the collaboration of samsamuel
Have fun.

=========== WARNING ====================
PLEASE DO NOTupgrade to new rom for HTC-HD2 for o2 3.14.206.1
it is not stable . freezes!
Even HTC sense crashes!

No problems on mine.

thank you

Very true, for me it was actually a stepback, not an upgrade. My phone was very buggy for the entirety of the 3 days I had it on. I've downgraded to the 1.72 Rom I had before and everything is fine once again.

still got hspl installed?

I upgraded over a week ago. I'm very happy with it. No bugs apparent, and much better battery life.

Upgrade O2 to 3.14
I upgraded my 14 month old HD2 to O2 ROM 3.14.206 two weeks ago.
No problem with the upgrading process.
Since then my battery life has been considerably improved, the HD2 has been completely stable, and access to the internet using Opera 10 has been much better than before. I'm absolutely delighted!

Same here, excelent upgrade, in fact the HD2 is so good now that I do not spend more than 2 weeks playing with Nokia N8 and rush back to my old trusty HD2!

nice post thank you

just updated, wifi issues i believe but everything else seems fine

O2 ROM upgrade for a T-Mobile HD2
Hi all. I've got a bit of a problem in that I flashed my HD2 from T-Mobile to O2 after unlocking it to any network. This means that subsequent ROM upgrades are difficult to come by unless the file is posted here. When I visit the HTC site and attempt to download the upgrade, firstly I have to enter the phone's serial number which HTC have on record as being a T-Mobile unit originally. This kicks me out of the O2 ROM upgrade download screen.
Does anyone have access to the file that they could post here for me please. I'd be hugely grateful.
Very many thanks

[REF] Leo Official ROMs found in 6.5 rom development. first post first link, all teh stock roms are there,
your phone will always be rom locked to t mo. the htc website will never let you download anything but t mo roms.
since you have hspl, you dont need to stick to stock roms, you have already unlocked it for flashing custom roms.

There is a download link of the ROM in post 7
