You may use any ROM Updgrade, you may even want to cook your own ROM, but please do not think of performing a radio stack upgrade if your present radio is working well and giving you a trouble free service.

Hi guys,
I 'm in same situation but with higher versions, and can hardly wait to get a new 2003 ROM.
I can't just play with my XDA as I use it all the time for work and it's pretty stable so far. I just also can't tell that the ROM is 'totally' separate from the RUU in WM2003.
So the question is: is there any one here who has gone through a 2003 upgrade for Qtek 1010 to tell us his thoughts after the upgrade ?
I read a lot about the stability of 4.00.16 ENG, but all been written was for O2 R4.21 or T-Mobile R6.xx. Did any one in this region (Mid East) with R 3.2x went into this upgrade ? and what is the current status ?
Thanx all ....

Latest ...
I tried upgrading to 4.00.11 ENG from the kitchen ... no matter how many trys it just restarts and gives the same error message "Can't open USB/com port ..." ...
Do I miss anything ??

more update ...
Tried to cook the new ROM as .nb1 file and used Xdatools from the kitchen to flash my device .... same result :? :evil:
Is it possible that there is a ROM protection on my XDA ??? :shock:

Hi Biso007,
Look at the IDIOTS GUIDE at:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3171
and follow the instructions thoroughly one by one and you can't go wrong, it did work for me, I was in the same situation.

Samohile - Thanks. It is good advice to not mess with the radio if you can help it.
My only problem is that my device periodically shuts off. Then pressing the power button soft boots it. I cant tell for sure but it seems that this happens after an incoming or missed call. It seems that other friends using ROM 3.18.04 and Radio 3.25.01 (like our friend biso007 here) seem to have very stable systems.
I can try upgrading the ROM only and see what happens but the information at www.carrierdevices.com seems to imply that both ought to be upgraded at the same time. I notice it is an Australian site. Does that matter? Also, the version of the radio upgrade is a bit confusing, at least from its name. (Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe] ). I wonder what this RSUv1.15 translates into since the name of the exe file for the ROM is nicely descriptive of the version (3.18.04).
Any advice in this would be very welcome..

Well i am using WM2003 4.00.11 and its working fine for me no problem i cooked in the kitchen you just need to read arround this great forum for a whgile on topics such as upgrades and ROM to know exactly what you are dealing with and then you will able to upgrade smoothly.
:wink:

Hi ARZLEB
I read lots and lots about upgrade lessons but none of them worked for me .... I got an advice to use SD card with bootloader as it's the only working way. Now I wonder why the EXE method was created!!
I see that u got the 4.00.11 working. Did u upgrade it using EXE or SD card. Any help would be so appreciated ... thnx

Well i used the EXE methode the file i cooked in the Kitchen but i didnt change the version i left as 3 at the bottom of the page it works fine i upgraded from 3.XX to 4.XX then i downgraded from 4.00.11 to 4.00.05 then upgraded again all using EXE format so far working great.
i will be honest with you i know about the SD methode very well but never tried it so u have to make more search on this issue.
If you need anything more plz message me anytime and i will be more then whilling to help you step by step...

Faisal sorry for very late reply.
I have flashed my Qtek (bought in Abu Dhabi) with several versions of roms cooked in kitchens (Jeff's and Stefans's), but I have finally settled with ATT release wm2003 Siemens SX56 upgrade. It comes with most of the bugs fixed (except multiple reset bug) and is quite stable. I almost never have to reset it. You can flash the ROM only by SD card method though. You can try it. It's always a good idea to flash using SD card method. USB method using ProgramA is not very safe. I guess the network in Pakistan is compatible with the one in the UAE, so you can safely use it, if you don't mess up with the Radio Stack. My Radio is 3.23.01 and I have no problems with that.

Need help to unlock AT&T Wireless Siemens SX56 (USA)

Hi,
Siemens SX56 Unlock AT&T Wireless
I would like to know if someone unlocked its phone by himself.
All we read is people from everywhere except with AT&T.
My ROM version: 3.14.03 ENG date: 09/27/02
Radio version 6.12 protocol 324e4
Frequency 900/1900 American model PW10B
Does the Rom Update 3.17 from xda-developers works with Rogers AT&T?
Can we expect our phone to live after that update?
Is the new ROM functionnalities user friendly? Would you rather keep the old ROM version both UNLOCKED?
If you got your SX56 unlocked, can you tell me what you did?
I'd like to have your comments on what you did before I do it.
After spending that kind of money, I wouldn't like to kill my phone.
So let me know how you did it and what did you need to update it.
I expect to get details from you.
Thanking you in advance!!!

try the unlocking tool from www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/
if it doesn't work then try the ROM 3.17
good luck ...

Need a copy of 900/1900 SER ROM image

I tried XDAunlock and it doesn't work...
Now I downloaded SER but I don't have access to Unix.
So if someone would be kind enough to send me a copy of image.
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I understood from it?!?!
Need a copy of 900/1900 SER ROM image
I tried for a week with all the free tools we have on this site and it's not unlocked yet. Can someone with a Siemens SX56 (USA or Canada) help me with unlocking my XDA ? I need a ROM image for XDA SER.exe which works for Rogers AT&T (Canada) or AT&T Wireless (USA), nothing else. And if you can: detailed explanations how to unlock with ROM image...
Thanks to you...

Why is the need for Unix ?
just try to cook a 3.17 based ROM and flash your XDA using the exe method. it will unlock your device with the first startup. in case it doesn't work you can cook it as .nbf file and use SD card flashing.

Mee too
I tried the steps recommended, it is taking an awful long time to read the first block (like 30') so I aborted it.
Any thoughts? Thanks guys, you are great!

Want to uninstall WM2003 and go back to O2 original ROM

Hi!
Installed T-Mobile WM2003 from the ROM kitchen.......... Network very weak and the phone has become very slow. Now I want to move back to O2 original ROM (WM2002).
When I try to install the ROM I get an error message :
"ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. error getting connectiontype"
and the 02 ROM installer cannot communicate with my XDA.
Can someone please help me get back the original 02 ROM, with sim unlocked???
Really need some help here. :?:
I loved my phone as it was and I was stupid to experiment with it !!
regards ,
Diki

If you used the kitchen to cook your ROM then it shouldn't have any impact on the RSU part. Plz give more details on your RSU version, your network MHz and what types of problems you have ?
BTW, did you upgrade to 4.01.00 or 4.01.16 ?
To get back to PPC2002, you can use the SD method

if you upgraded to the 4.01.16 I had this problem too.
you can't use the rom.exe method via the cradle if you've put this tmobile rom on your XDA, you have to use the SD flash method.

I upgraded it to 4.01.16
Radio version installed is 4.21.00
PROBLEMS:
a. The XDA has become very slow (I have a lot of free space on the XDA)
b. Network signals are weak.

Going back to 2002
I received from a friend a pre-release version of t-mobile ppc2003 a few months ago. He put it on my phone via a sd flash. T-mobile has just released (for free) on their website a final release of ppc 2003 and the one I am using is somewhat unstable at times. Does anyone happen to have t-mobile ppc2002 so that I can upgrade. Thanks.

a. there is a bug in WM2003 and there is a tiny program that should be placed in the \windows\startup directory to solve it. The program is called Clear_Notify.exe ... simple search and you will find it.
If not, then it's a Radio problem that impacts the ROM part. Few hard resets may solve it.
b. if you mean the indicator on the window tray, forget about it ... the point is the ability of making/receiving calls. If you face real problems, I think it's the 4.21 RSU, but be extreamly careful ... upgrading the RSU is very risky especially with this RSU 4.21 on your device!!!!!!.
Good luck

1. Can you please send me the steps for installing the O2 OS on a SD card?
2. and once it is installed and working, can I just go ahead and delete all the folder (windows program files etc) from the phone memory?
What are the risks involved in writing ROM to SD Card?
I have no idea of this. Can you please help me?

Hi Diki,
Did you get a soution to your problem yet? I elaborate on the same problem.

Blackberry connect for wizad

I have an i-mate K-JAM and need to get the t-mobile blackberry client working to access corporate email. I upgade my ROM to following:-
ROM ver 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date 2/6/06
Radio ver 02.07.10
Protocol ver 413.1.03
ExtROM ver 2.16.9.101
Installed Blackberry client and desktop with no problems but client will not connect. I could not install the t-mobile ROm as I has an Invalid Vendor ID message.
Any suggestions how I might get it to work, I have heard that the t-mobile client is incompatible with ROM ver 2.0, but also understand I cannot now load a lower ROM version.

Dude, I hate to bring down the rain on your head but if you look in this forum you will find an extensive thread on BB Connect for the Wizard. I'd suggest reading it - first off it doesn't work with AKU2 ROMs so you're on a hiding to nothing unless you downgrade. Second, the reast is in the thread.

Sorry for being a novis, but we need to start somewhere! According to the I-mate Club website once the ROM has been updated to AKU02 it cannot be reinstalled with older version. Any assistance/clarification very welcome.

shiskinegolf - imate club don't know what they're on about mate. Read the lokiwiz thread on this forum at the beginning and it will tell you how to SIM and CID unlock your unit. I'd also recommend reading the last three pages or so of discussion which takes you through the issues we were having unlocking AKU2 ROMS - there is a trick to it but I understand lokiwiz has been updated to make it work since we were using the get around. Once you have SuperCID unlocked you can install any ROM you like (that includes downgrading to an AKU1).

HELP ME PLEASE WITH MY QTEK9100

I just bought a new qtek9100,and it has a french rom.
ROM version: 2.17.7.6 FRE
Rom Date: 2/21/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
protocal version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.17.7.108
Everytime i try to update the rom with ENGLISH ROM,i get ERROR(300)INVALID UPDATE TOOL .
Is it something i doing wrong?
I have already try this 3 ROMS:RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe

:RUU_wizard_2241001_22410101_TMobile_WWE_PDAMobizEdition_v120

you need to unlock CID FIRST....to be able to install any rom.
here is how to...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

You mean i use this ROM: ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
To unlocked CID and then i try using any order Rom to flash my qtek 9100

No pal,
You use LokiWiz (on this forum) to unlock CID and THEN you can flash Roms of another brand (like Qtek, or T-Mobile).
Good luck,
Molski.
p.s. I am not sure if 2.17 Roms can be CID unlocked already (for free, there is a paid solution).

Can u send me the lokiwiz and how to to used it.THANKS

as was before stated.. how about read the link he gave you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

u have to downgrade as in the link i posted above then run lokiwiz .02, read my son.....read

Do i have to pay to get unlock first.

Still need help.what should i do.

hi dmoney, I'm having the same problem that you are. Lokiwiz just doesn't seem to CID unlock new 9100's, I get the same error [300] message that you do. Hopefully somebody will crack it soon, otherwise we're stuck with the roms that we have.

There is a newer version of lokiwiz then 0.2b...you need to get the latest version.
