Qtek freeze

On Monday 18.05, I have upgraded to qtek v. 1.66. Since then, these last 2 days, around 8 pm, the BT light start flashing and the qtek does not work any more. Making a soft reset just stop the green light. The only solution I found is a hard reset. Installed programs: SPB 2.0, wimram, ezwap, vito button mapper. Perhaps is one of these program not compatible. I will now wait until tonight 8 pm, withour reinstalling any programs and see if i need to downgrade to older version.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance

i have that issues once in awhile
is use spd but not version 2
my qtek 2020 came with 1.66
this mean i use backup and restore often
suppose i could try to leave it default
and see if it's a program doing the stuff

are u using a SD512 card? if yes try to remove it and see if the forced hard.reset is still needed.

i use a 128MB and a few times removing it helped but in general it dont help
nor does removing the batt or sim
or trying to charge it which it cant when it's frozen
suppose it could be a hardware issue but odd that a hardreset always solve it then

I am getting same problem, but with me , it can happen without warning, i cannot switch on, no response to any soft reset attempt, only solution is to do a forced hard reset. Happened now 5 times in 1 month, (new i-mate v.1.66) programs installed, sprite backup v3. PI v5, spb plus v2, hudsonmobile phone dashboard, spb gprs monitor, resco file explorer, fitaly, phatpad, phat notes and scary bear check notifiaction (usually no more than 11 listed). It is a nuisance, but i no have confidence in hard reset and restore with sprite backup working well, i now keep regular backups. I am very interested to know if there any any potential conflics etc. I have seen in some of the threads oin this forum that soft reset 5 times at the start of hard reset, when the red tect appears bottom right, can work, I will try next time.

For me it's under multie last version.
Sometimes it's freeze 10s.
Before I do hard reset but now I wait and its works.

wonder if it could have anything to do with the strange max process limit bug
or if people who dont install any software themselfs also get it after X time

Exactly the same problem:
Sometime the blue light goes on, don't know if that is the same problem.
But hangs with a black screen, no backlight, no button response and no light after a bat change or softreset.....

I thought the problem was the the option in the today screen; "Display Today screen if device is not used for xxx hours. I set the option off, but i not really tested it.

After much research reading different posts and threads, it seems many of us using ROM version 1.66.00we are getting the same problem. It seems it is something to do with the radio. Owners of earlier versions are not posting these concerns. apparently v1.66 can not be downgraded to the more stable 1.52. According to some posts, a new version 1.72 will be released shortly, which hopefully will solve problem. Check the posts on this site regarding the 1.72 beta release. I am getting fed up with these issues, imate costs a small fortune and its reliablity is a dissappointment to what is otherwise a great device.

what radio does 1.5 and 1.7 use because my 1.66 have 1.10.00

it seems that i-mate devices which came originally with ROM 1.52 had the radio 1.06 and for those who have subsequently upgrade to 1.52 from an earlier ROM 1.03 they get the 1.10 radio stack.

QTEK 1010 ROM 3.18.04 ENG Update to WM2003

Hi all - I have stumbled over your site a number of times trying to solve this problem. I have had my QTEK for about 18 months and recently purchased some new software but without knowing that this software does not run on WM2002 which is what I have. My ROM version (3.18.04 ENG) is not even listed in you registration page but I would really like to update this so that I can make use of this software (especially Voice Command).
I have tried to make sense of the messages in this news group, and I tried the XDATools (couldn't get a proper download - corrupted) and the rom kitchens but never even get as far as a successful download.
I am very clueless when it comes to code etc so would love some ABC type assistance on what needs to be done. I don't know if it makes any difference but I have 265MB SD card

Another JAMin ROM (6 Apr 2006)

Anyone tried this ROM yet? Does it have A2DP? I'm in office now, will try it myself tonight
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip

Thanks for heads up Linux!! It just finished downloading but I'm going to wait to see somebody else flash theirs first. I cross flashed my Dopod 818Pro with the previous AKU2 ROM update from Imate and I could'nt be happier with my device now so I don't want to muck it up until I know for sure!!
Please post tonight if you get a chance!!!!
Cheers,
voyager

I did not see the new ROM on the www.clubimate.com site. What is it supposed to offer? Having just gone though the pain of the last ROM upgrade, I would like to know what the new one offers before flashing.

It is there on clubimate.
and it says:
"Latest Release details:
The main improvements from the original Operating System, are:
Microsoft™ Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP):
Addition of the MSFP allowing Direct Push email, remote device wiping, GPRS data compression, security policy enforcement and integrated Global Address List Lookup for customers using a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2. Note that Push email is only supported over GPRS.
Communication Manager
Communications Manager has been updated to allow current data services to be stopped, Direct Push email to be started/stopped using a single button press, and flight mode to be switched on/off."

That's the old one. This thread is about the new ROM that was posted today (or yesterday depending on your timezone):
04/06/2006 12:55PM 57,078,129 JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip

Sorry, my mistake. I thought that the info was for the latest one.

Hey folks,
According to a post over on HoFo this update seems to just fix a few things from the earlier AKU2 ROM upgrade. They did not go into a lot of detail but one the fixes is improved battery management on the SD card. This would make sense to me. I have been running the first AKU2 ROM for the JAMin on my Dopod 818Pro for a week now.....one word, AWESOME dependabilty. The ONLY thing I noticed is that my battery power seemed to slide a bit faster with that ROM update. I think I'll wait though until some can confirm all the changes in this newest ROM offering.
Cheers!!
voyager

It seem to me they just change the radio ROM

No A2DP
I've just installed the ROM, unfortunately there's no A2DP. The battery indicator is also still located on top.
I bought this machine because A2DP was promised as a ROM upgrade. I even sold my O2 Atom and got this phone instead because I've read about the better sound and camera quality, despite the slower processor.
I really think HTC owes many of us out there an explanation for the lack of A2DP :x

Hi guys could anyone upload the file to the ftp of this site please

This rom fixes the slow SIP!! It also allows folder within the inbox to sync via exchange (I can't remember if the previous rom allowed for this or not?)

Iv'e been running this ROM for the last 24 hours and (crossing fingers) no soft reset or hang-up so far. Guess they found some bugs in the not so baked version released two weeks ago...
It's also a tad faster than the previous ROM.

Is it possible to restore all the data from a back up software like spb back up or sprite back up? Because for the first rom update when I try to restore from spb back up the JAMin crashed

im runing this on dopod 818 pro
i installed spb plus, and then reset, when it goes to windows, it just hang there. then i press reset again, it becomes ok...
it's weird, sometimes windows hang after reset.

Yes I am able to do a full restore from spb backup with the backup I've made on the previous imate rom. I think this is due to the fact that the OS rom version is the same as the previous rom, only the ext and radio version is newer

Very good news, I will update soon :lol:

ext rom
any idea what this is on the ext rom?
Default_MP_CVSDcpl_20060220

Just upgraded to the new ROM. Much, much snappier. Worth upgrading!

how can i pass the vender id problem??? it´s for an s200.
thanks

Is it unlocked?
I can read and write on \extended_rom with this new rom! Is this normal?
How can i unhide and mount the space? permantley?
After reboot the files are back again

2.xx ExtendedROM unlocker that work

The guys at :
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&id=19287&catid=45
have this file:
http://buzzdev.net/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/files/Prophet_ext_rom_unlock.rar
- unpack
- copy it over to your device
- run it
This will make your ExtendedROM writable, NOT visible.
Use TotalCommander CE to display content of your ExtendedROM for now (by entering "\Extended_Rom")
Sometimes, files in ExtendedROM are marked as READONLY and you have to clear that bit.
Does anybody has a good description of each file present in the Extended_Rom and if we can delete it or not?????

After readin that whole thread it seems some say it works some say it does not.
Can anyone confirm it works with the latest Submitter Cingular Rom? I do not want to have to reinstall everything again
I just got things perfect from the last Hard Reset I did.

I tried it on my 2.08 Qtek rom. Does not work (YET as Buzz is still trying!)
This was merely a test version btw.

I flashed my Qtek s200 with the lastest dopod rom (from the ftp page) then did a soft reset just before customisation begins (preventing the extrom files from loading - I don't use MMS or smartdialing).
Copy buzznet's prophet extrom exe onto your device and run it (You should get a little popup saying "success"). I can't view the extrom files and the memory settings are still the same but my system runs a lot faster and I've gone from having to do a soft reset almost twice a day to once every 5 or 6 days!! (I run a large program thats eats up RAM).
It seems so much more stable, reponsive and quicker
Hope this helps......

This is why this stuff gets dangerous. The s200 is not the same as the Wizard from what I understand. Folks read things like this in what is a Wizard specific forum and think it's really working. On the buzzdev forums they seem to say it works on Prophet based devices and not on wizards.
That is why I asked here on a wizard specific forum about anyone having success.

From Bootloader / ROM structure perpective the Prophet and Wizard are said to be similar.
Buzz has developed his tool without any of these devices so hes still in a test phase.

Worked For me
with the last RRU Qtek IPL 2.15 Radio 2.30
Thanks

WM2003, No Camera

Hello,
I flashed back to Windows Mobile 2003 SE after having windows mobile 6 installed.
The only problem is the camera does not work, There is no camera option in the menu, and when I press the camera button nothing happens.
The OS I flashed with is WM2003SE 2.06.00WWE XDA2 from the buzzdev website.
Any help?
Thanks.

sounds like you dident put in a new extended rom where the cam software autoinstall from

I searched on the forums for extended rom and found this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221732
So I put contents in my STORAGE, as per instructions, and now I am flashing, is this the correct way?
One Question, is there any newer WM2003 SE ROM avaliable for himalaya than WM2003SE 2.06.00WWE?
Edit : Nothing happened I still do not have camera, and I also notice My XDA II splashscreen is not showing up, instead it is a blank screen, probably some firmwares I flashed with earlier messed everything up on my himalaya.
Edit 2 : I manually looked through the extended rom contents and found the camera and installed it and a few other programs, but I get error "the program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software" nonetheless it works

extended rom is a nbf file like a real rom it include a list of cab files and a text file which list the cabs
after a hardreset it auto install all the cabs
you dont need to flash a nbf file (it's don the same way as a normal rom buzzdev prob got some)
about 2003SE then it's a bit of a bastard rom
it was never released (as far as i know) as WWE (world wide english)
but only as chineese and was manualy translated to english by fans (heard that there are still chineese bits around in the rom which display as garbage chars)
about a later 2003SE then there was another chineese rom 2.11 or something like that
but it was pretty unstable so never translated to english
personaly i were to drop wm6 wm6.1 or wm5 and go back i would go to wm2003 not se
version 1.77 as it's more stable so unless one need the rotate without a softreset (which is pretty much the only thing i recall SE offering )

About the EXTrom, i was never able to get it to install after Hard Reset, I have to manually install the cabs myself, ussually I remember my pocket PC would say "Please wait until your device is configuired" , then it would install a few things. But since I have began flashing with all sorts of firmwares I cant get the extrom contents to auto-install after hard reset, so i have to manually install them myself. And you are right, I am seeing weird garbage characters already after instaling the MMS programs from the extended rom contents.
But I do remember the first time i went to WM 2003 SE, which was a few years ago, I got the ROM from the offical o2 xda website, and it was perfect. But thats not longer available.
As for WM2003SE, I always thought it was an upgrade to 2003, I thought that SE (Second Edition) should be more stable.
I might just flash to WM2003, not second edition, do you know where I could find the ROM + Extended Rom contents for it ?

yeah it's 2th eddition
but wm is not more stable then the drivers and 3th party stuff
the rom have in them
also heard about a wwe 2003SE but never confirmed that it was around
maybe if you google deep and long enough you can find it
about official 2003 roms for himalaya then first place i would look would be
the ftp of this site they may still be there
2th would be around at buzzdev
3th would be on the sites or ftp's of o2 / tmobile/ imate and the likes
4th would be googling around

Ah the problem is the XDA Developers ftp site is not working. I looked over at buzzdev and they have no WM2003 Roms for the Himalaya, only WM2003 SE

Ok from XDA Developers ftp I find the following :
1.60.36 T-Mobile_NL_Shipped
Himalaya_T-Mobile_NL_1.72.903_eDsuBsofT
Himalaya_T-Mobile_NL_1.72.90_Shipped
Himalaya_T-Mobile_NL_1.75.903_eDsuBsofT
Qtekk_1.75_Converted
I believe they are all WM2003 (not se)
Which one to use?
