PLEASE HELP Failed ROM update - Gives me blank screen

During the flashing process my Qtek complete gone, no ROM available I just get blank screen, my question is, could I use other Qtek to back-up ROM to the SD card or hard disk (with new program), after then I can use this back-up to restore my ROM? Or What I can I do to restore the Qtek to a factory default state?
Thanks

im sure u can, atleast I did on my t-mobile ppc.
if u cant write to SD card... take the card to a dealer or
show room display, insert the card, boot to bootloader (reset +push on)
and write urself a boot image on your SD card...
i know it worked for me !

What ROM you are talking about CE or GSM ?
hello
please find some information about Flashing your Qtek ROM using the 'SD Card' or 'Bootloader' Method
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1717
i hope this could help to recover your device back to normal but if it was GSM or Radio upgrade there's another method you can use the search tool here to get it and how to fix it
best regards and good luck

You need to use sd card flashing method, your phone will be ok, just look around the forum look for sd card flashing.

OK but how can i reflash my SX56 with SD cadr if I don't have any back up ?
plus everybody has bootloader 5.17 or older but my is 5.22 :-(

Hello,
you have 2 options both use SD card:
1. get ROM backup from any other working XDA.
2. get SD card reader/writer. change the extention of the ROM file you cooked to .zip and use winzip to extract a file named NK.nbf under \english directory. use the SD writer to copy this file to the SD card.
in both cases, insert the SD card into your XDA and use the bootloader.
good luck ...

similar problem last year
Hiya Mike2001,
I had a similar problem last year. I found that while the ActiveSync monitor shows no connectivity you will still be able to transfer an OS image. One hiccup I did find, and I am running wallaby 5.17 by the way, is a version conflict with the proposed rom and existing header information. This is a windows registry problem on your PC caused by the crash which needs to be deleted prior to attempting the upgrade.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

how works a bootloader(sd) image (SD > 64MB)

Hi all !
My Question ist, how the bootloader saves the image, if the used card is bigger than the rom? The image doesn't seam to be empty after the first 64Mbytes....
anybody knows something?
greetz MatteZ

The non-emptiness after 64MB is just the garbage what was present before dumping your rom.
You can check it by writing a specific pattern to your SD & then dump your rom.
Regards, M

after some testing i came to the same result^^
But, thanks for answering! I'm sure you wasn't the only one who knows this!
MatteZ

Probably most readers had a 'well that's obvious dude' experience.
I found out that some people on the board are really inexperienced with any kind of computers & can be helped with a small explanation.
Cheers, M

??? im not to good with my ppc, are you sayin that you can install ur rom on to an sd card??? if so, does his meen that there is the 64mb fre on the ppc storage?
if this is right, can u tell me how?

Unfortunately not. You can dump your rom on a SD-Card & save that to your hard-disk or what-ever. The magician won't boot from your SD in a way that you can free up your internal rom-memory. Man I wish it would.
You can supply a new rom to your magician in two ways: the first is with active sync and the second is via a rom-image on a sd-card. The bootloader will recognize the rom-image on the sd & start flashing it into it's internal rom memory.
So Mattezh question was about dumping his internal rom on a sd-card. If you do this & save the rom image on your PC the program to read the image from your sd will not know where the rom image ends. So it just copy every bit from your sd to your PC & that's why there's a lot of garbage in the saved image after the 64MB size of the image.
Understandable? I hope cause I know I sometimes tend to write a bit weird, I know

you may check steps 1-6 to see how to get a ROM dump on a SD card.
if you have a SD card with the ROM dump just use step 7 to upload from SD into ROM.
did it only with a dump from my own Wizard and back into it but not with a dump from another Wizard so better read through the thread yourself carefully first.

Wizard is not recognizing SD storage card - 2GB. Why?? Please help...

Hi,
I am a newbie so please be patient with me.
I'm not sure whether this is the correct forum, so I'll post the same post in upgarde as well - please forgive me if I made a mistake.
I got 2 wizards off eBay (seperately), and they seem to work fine.
I upgraded to wm6.5 after reading your great instructions. It seems that I succeeded in that.
However, I tried to put mini SD cards but they are not recognized, and I'm tearing my hair out. I started with 4GB cards, but they were not recognized. I returned the cards, after reading that the wizard doesn't support more than 2GB. I got now 2 GB cards, but they are not recognized either.
What's going on here? is it the upgrade, or what?
Is there something I should have done - a patch or something?
I find it hard to believe that the fault is in the phones, since it's the same with both of them - I believe it's a small chance that both of them are faulty in reading cards.
Please help - I am desperate.
Thanks!

well it seems that the rom you flashed has problems with storage card drivers this is common in certain 6.5 roms it even happen in one of mine.
just flash an official wm5 rom to test the sd... if it works then you know the 6.5 rom you have is broken.

Thanks Faria, I'll do tht and inform.
In order to downgrade to WM5 do I have to simply flash the official WM5 or there any other steps?
After I've done that, and presuambly that my SD cards are recognised, can you recomend me a good WM6.5 that will not cause problems, and I'll be able to use?
Thanks again!

Hi again,
No luck - flashe dto official WM5, and after that to WM6.1
In both cases not recognized. Any other suggestions for my strange situation?
Thanks!

Well, the card was sitting fine in the slot - clicking and making the turned off phone to react and turned on. However, I decided to simply add pressure to the card and see if there's any difference. So.... I stuck a little piece of plastic in the slot. Magic: hard-reset, and than it was recognised and works perfect!
Is that stupid or what? I did it on both 2 phones and it's working. May I suggest it's a real defekt in the design of the Wizard...?

are you certain that the card is not an SDHC??
