I tried to upgrad my qtek using the XDA_Tools directly with USB and it failed, what I can see in the screen is only grey lines.
Now, I'm trying the other wy using the SD card. I followed all the steps mentioned in the forum and I used the XDA_Tools to make a ROM image on the SD card.
When i go to the boot loader while the SD card inserted it doesnt prompt me that there is a new ROM image on the SD card.
I tried to use variouse versions of the ROMS's and it still gives the same result.
I have bootloader ver 5.15
SD card 64 MB
SD read/write USB
Can any one please help me to perform this task to have my qtek back.
Thank You
you used nbf or nb1 format ?
did you cook it like that or extracted the nbf from the ROM exe ?
Hello Biso,
I tried first cooked one from yorch nb1, then I tried NBF I already downloaded , both couldnt work.
I doubt that there is a problem in reading from SD card, as I now I try to perfrom back to SD card it tells me " CARD FAILED"
Thank you,
Hey Biso,
Just curious by what you meant 'extract the nbf file from ROM .EXE file'? Is this the proper way to do it?
I cooked various versions of nb1's and nbf's but they won't copy on the SD card. Whenever I try to copy an nb* file on the SD through a USB card writer using the XDA tools, I get a message reading that there is something wrong on the filesize and it cannot proceed with copying the file.
Hey Peter, did you get the nbf file on the SD successfully? Do you need something more than just XDA tools?
My bootloader is also 5.15.

Yes I could get the file on the SD, you dont need anything more than the SD tools, but my only problem is that when I insert the card and go to the bootloader nothing happens[/quote]
Ok Peter,
It seems that I'm running through the same problem myself. The copying process through the XDA tools seems to be going smoothly but after it is completed I can't see the file on the SD card. Have you checked that the file has been really copied on the SD? I'm working on it now. Let me know if you find something first.
Hello All,
Yes, I always cook the ROM as EXE and if it doesn't work I extract the nbf file from it.
The best way is to format the SD card using the XDA. Then use XDAtools to copy the nbf to the XD card through the USB cradle. When it's done, the SD card should NOT be readable. The XDA might ask you to format this card ... just press NO!. When you go to the bootloader it will be recognized.
I just flashed my XDA with A30.09 few minutes ago ... I used exactly those steps .... Good luck
Thank you Bisso.
I managed to pull it through myself in a slightly different way. I had to copy the nbf file in the program files/XDA tools/binary/english folder. I then run the XDA tools and indicated the source and destination folder manually the source being the nbf file in the above folder.
It worked!!!
For all those of you cooking your ROM from Lumpi Stefan's kitchen beware of the 4.01.00 ROM. It's a T-Mobile's ROM and if you're not happy with it, it won't let you change it through active sync. You'll have to use an SD card to download a new ROM on your Qtek.
Hello Biso,
I am not able to perform ur way of upgrading because my qtek doesnt boot it gives those grey black and white lines, so my only wy is to go through the boot loader, could the version of the rom be the reason that i doesnt want to boot in the boot loader?
Hey Peter,
I had the same problem and I figured out why. Make sure that the command lines on the source field of the OSimage tool window point to the right nbf file which you had extracted from the .EXE file. Click on the 'browse' button next to the 'source' field and pick it up manually. Then proceed with the copy and slide your SD in your Qtek.
Let me know of how you did...
Hello,
I cooked a new rom for wallaby from LumpiSteven's romkitchen. I'm really impressed!
My new rom is based on WM2003SE. However, my Wallaby cannot accept the flash method from the exe file. I noticed the note from LumpiSteven that before upgrading to 2003SE from the EXE, certain rom version from T-Mobile has to be downgraded to PPC2002 first using the SD Card.
Where can I get the rom PPC2002 to be used with the SD Card?
I look at the xda-dev wallaby ROM versions list but all of them are exe file.
Thanks!
Extract the EXE-File using winzip. YOu will get a folder english that contains the ROM NK.nbf (about 32 MB). You have to use this file for SD-Card flashing....

Where can I get the rom PPC2002 to be used with the SD Card?
I have a wallaby with the offical T-Mobile USA ROM (4.0.16 ENG) and would like to upgrade it to the WM2003SE.
I have cooked a new 2003SE rom from lumpisteven's romkitchen. Man, I'm really impressed with this nice web site!
However, my wallaby cannot accept the flashing from the exe file directly. I noticed Lumpi's note that I might need to downgrade to PPC 2002 first before by using the SD card method.
I looked for the PPC2002 rom in the xda-dev romversions list, all of the rom there are in the EXE format. Where can I find such version that can be used to flash my wallaby from a SD card?
Thanks!

Thanks LumpiSteven! I follow your instruction and I have succesfully got my Wallaby loaded with WM2003SE!
I got Italian File.but I don;t know how to install it..
The file name is arteimg.nbh.
Please help me.
i think you need USPL and extract the files to your hd, then
copy this nbh file into the uspl folder and start uspl...
I think this is an image to flash from sdcard (because of the name),
but imho it should work when you use uspl.
Cheers Peter
nbh file is installed with original/standard flashing utility for your device.
if you have nbh which represents original ROM for your device, then you can copy it to sd card with name ARTEIMG.NBH, reset the device into bootloader, it will flash.
however flashing from sd card only works with original/shipped ROM for your device.
