Can I change GSM band from 850/1800 to 900/1800 in SMT5600 ?
Tri Band GSM 850 / 1800 / 1900 MHz
No option for 900/1800, sorry.
YES you can you need to flash the phone with the HTC rom
Upgrade/installation instructions
1) Download the QTEK ROM from here:
http://www.qtek.nu/files/qtek 8010.2.1.32.11.zip
Unzip the ROM to any place on your PC. For example, your desktop...
2) Download TyphoonNBFTool:
http://www.spv-developers.com/content/TyphoonNBFTool.zip
Unzip TyphoonNBFTool to a place you can remember. For example, your desktop...
3) Open and run the QTEK ROM update.
4) You will now see a welcoming. Press NEXT, and the temporary files will be installed extracted. Don't continue yet!
Instead, open Typhoon-NBF-tool.
5) Use Typhoon-NBF-tool to open the nbf-file located on your PC around here:
C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Local Settings\Temp\pft(a number).tmp\
Notice! If you can't find the library specified above, it may be because your Windows Explorer is not set to show hidden files and folders! Open Explore (Windowskey + E), go into "Tools", choose "Folder Options", then "View". Make a checkmark in "show hidden files and folders".
Notice! The library specified above may have a slightly different name. Look a bit for it, there's a .nbf-file in the correct library. icon_smile.gif
6) In NBFTool, Choose Tools > Edit Header Data
7) Delete everything in the Operator field (where it says something weird - just delete it)
8 ) Press OK
Choose Tools > Recalculate Header CRC32
9) Choose File > Save As and overwrite the nbf-file you just edited...
9.5) Back to the QTek installation screen. icon_smile.gif Check the field where you agree to that your phone may blow up your entire house (or whatever it says) and press carry on with the installation as usual.
10) As the phone updates, please be patient at 99% as this may take quite some time!!
11) After succesfull installation, the phone will take pretty long to boot. You can just play with the scroll stick if you're bored... the phone will update as this is first boot (Cold boot), then it'll restart.
12) The Qtek ROM boots normally, and TADAAAA - you're done! icon_smile.gif

1.
Before you carry out the ROM upgrade, open the file browser on your phone.
Enable it to see hidden files: Menu > Options > remove the checkmarks from "Hide hidden files", "Hide system files" and "Hide files in ROM"
2.
Find the T9-file here:
\windows\T9Romaniandb.dll
This is the Romanian file - choose the T9 with your own language of course (i.e. T9Romaniandb.dll).
3.
Copy the file to your storage card (meaning your MiniSD), as this will not be affected by the ROM upgrade/installation.
4.
Upgrade - follow the instructions in the top of this topic...
5.
After succesfull firmware installation/upgrade, make a folder named T9 under \Storage\Application Data\
6.
Copy the dll-file be backup'ed on the Storage Card to this new T9-folder.
7.
Now search and install some regedit program
8.
Now the system registry has to be edited.
Open PHM Registry Editor on your phone.
9.1.
Find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\T9 Input Method\MUI\Languages
Then choose to edit the string by selecting it and click on it - add ",0418" in the end. The comma (,) is important to remember! "0418" is the Microsoft code for Romania, so find the correct Microsoft code for your language somewhere
9.2.
Find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\T9 Input Method\LDBs
Then add a "String Value", and set "Value" = 0418 and "Value Data" = \Storage\Application Data\t9\T9romanianLdb.dll
Once again, the 0418 may differ in your case - and the T9romanianLdb.dll may be named T9GermanLdb.dll or T9ChtuluLdb.dll or whatever... I don't know all the languages, neither do I know their Microsoft code...
10.
DONE! Reboot the phone, begin writing an SMS. Press and hold * until the menu pops up where you can now choose your own language! icon_smile.gif
If your language is shown, but you can't write anything - you propably did something wront in 9.2

If that's the case, then even Audiovox is wrong about their own band specs:

Re: YES you can you need to flash the phone with the HTC rom
Thanks for many tips. I have a question on this upgrade network bands. I just want to upgrade 850 to 900 so that I can use in Asia. If I use only English, can I skip the below section of Alternative T9? This will be a lot of work for my family to work on via oversea phone support from me. Please kindly advise

There is hardware difference in C500 and STM5600 which runs on 850. Difference is in switchplexer which in European models filters 900 and 1800/1900 MHz (Murata HA 165) and in STM 5600 (Audiovox) filters 850 and 1800/1900 MHz (Murata HA 216AW). You have to change switchplexer on the board if you want 900 MHz on Audiovox
Or HA 358 (EPCOS D1028) from Sony Ericsson K700... -> 900 Mhz
mendoza is right
Hi Guys,
i wrote a small C#-Application for updating SpbWeather (maybe it should work also with other Weather-Applications) despite Proxy-Restrictions (like Vodafone, o2 etc.). This program emulates a normal Wap-Browser (with an exact User-Agent) and downloads a Weather-html-File of your choice to your PDA. In combination with Pico-WebServer and some little tweaks , SpbWeather updates with this local file.
First of all, it is a beta program. Use this program at your own risk. I will take no responsibilities for malfunctions or/and unintentional data traffic (and costs). It should be working fine, but nobody is perfect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, here is the Step-by-Step guide what you have to do:
1. Install the lastest Microsoft Compact .Net-Framework on your PDA (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=9655156b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55)
2. SpbWeather
You need a actual version of SpbWeather (it should be with working with other Weather-Programs too, e.g. HTC Weather or PocketWeather)
3. Download the SpbWeather-Template from Spb-Weather-Forum (or somethere else) you want to use. I attached a working template for www.wetter.com
4. Edit the Template-File and search the line "open_url(.......)" . Edit the value in the brackets to open_url("http://localhost/wetter.htm", "GET"); (the name of the .htm - file its your choice).
5. Copy the .tpl - File in the templates - Folder of SpbWeather and add a new City with this edited Template.
6. Install Pico Webserver on your PDA ( http://http://www.tucows.com/preview/200784)
7. Start Picowebserver, goto Settings and edit the Alias Settings. You can choose the default path of the webserver or you can choose another path. But remember this path, we'll need it. Now start the Server.
8. Ok, now you need the WeatherUpdater. Just copy it to a location of your choice and start it. Go to "Settings" and configure the Programm. There are five entrys you can edit.
a. WebServer:
Enter the complete url of the weather site and your town: (wich matched to the template you use for Spb Weather). In my case the Url is: http://www.wetter.com/mobile/wetter.php?id=43367&type=WORLD (enter wetter.com/mobile and you can search your town)
b. Local Web-Server
Enter the Path to the Root-Directory of your Picowebserver (see 6.)
c. Name html-File:
Enter the Name of the htm(l)-file to download...it must matched with the name you edited in the template-File (see 3.)
d. Update on Start:
Downloads the html-Weather-File on Programstart
e. Update-Interval:
Choose an interval for updating the Weather-html-File. You can chosse values between 1 and 1440 minutes. (1min - 24h). Remember, it produces data traffic you have to pay for (or you have a flatrate etc., that's your own risk)) In my example, one update produces 15kb of data traffic. Check various templates with less traffic (maybe less weather info).
With runnig Picowebserver and WeatherUpdater in the background, you can now Update SpbWeather every hour.
What do do next:
-----------------
a. It would be fantastic to integrate the webserver functionality into WeatherDownloader. But i've to check out how to make a Webserver in C#. Maybe someone can help me
Please report any bugs or wishes for further versions.
b. automatic installation with a cab-file and AutoStart functionality
c. HowTo for other Weather Programs like HTC Weather and PocketWeather
d. and many many more features

Screenshots in Progress
Nice release Pfischi, something I was looking for quite some ti...........well, forever
Fellow AT&T X10a users "unbrand" and update to 2.1 and beyond; including rooting, optimizing with JIT, removing SE bloatware, installing xRecovery and custom ROMs (2.1/2.2/2.3), and finally the OFFICIAL 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from SE when available in Q2-Q3 2011.
This is guide was written especially for noobs like I was a few months ago. At first I found some guides to be overly simplified, outdated, or just plain confusing. I have tried to take any guess work out of the equation, so there shouldn't be any extra steps or things you are assumed to already know. It's a long guide, but don't let that scare you. It is just overly simplified on purpose. My hope is that you will learn enough here to be able to follow those other brief guides when you are done, and hopefully pass this on to others still suffering with 1.6.
This will unbrand your AT&T X10a, meaning you will be running Sony Ericsson 2.1.A.0.435 X10a 2.1 Global Generic firmware (1234-4820) with DUALTOUCH! There will be none of the AT&T apps preinstalled on your phone, and you will no longer be blocked by AT&T from installing certain Market apps or non-market apps. This means you can use free navigation & text message apps, Skype, and Voice Search just to name a few.
AND since you are on Global Generic you will be certain to get the official updates including 2.3.3 Gingerbread update in Q2-Q3 2011 directly from PC Companion or SEUS when it is available.
On top of updating to 2.1, I also explain how you "Root"(allows you to "Clean" or remove system apps that are eating up your system), "Optimize"(enable JIT Memory), and install "xRecovery"(allows easy install of custom ROMs). All with one click each with the new Flash Tool 0.2.9 by Bin4ry and Androxyde(special thanks to them for doing all the real work).
"Root" is not necessary, but if you don't use all the SE apps like Timescape or Face Recognition, you can uninstall/"Clean" them and get rid of any lag, save battery, and free up RAM for smoother performance. You also need Root to "Optimize"(enable JIT memory), which will make your phone fly and increase your Quadrant scores from 450 to 800+, and Linpack scores from 7 to 31+. You will be amazed.
This should be all you need to know. Don't skip any steps or add any steps.
***There is also always the risk of damaging your phone or voiding the warranty, so do this at your own risk.
However, I will give you a little hint, because of the tight security on the bootloader, it is impossible to brick your phone permanently. If you mess something up, you can always run repair software via SEUS or PC Companion and get you back to where you were (data wiped/factory reset).
Also, if you ever do have a hardware or warranty issue, you can flash back to 1.6 before you send it for repair. see phase 2/post#5 below).
That being said, I am not responsible for anything that might go wrong, but I will help you as much as I can... Just post or PM me. Have fun with this, and if you have trouble the problem is almost always due to not following the steps.
Prerequisites:
Make sure you have hooked up your x10 via usb cable and run Sony Ericsson update service with PC Companion or SEUS on your computer at least once before trying this. This will make sure you have the usb drivers on your computer. Also, if anything goes wrong, you can run "Repair Software" to get you back to 1.6.
Go here to download Update Service or PC Companion. I use Update Service.
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/topic/updateyourproductsoftware?cc=gb&lc=en
Make sure your battery is fully charged. Plug usb cable into your computer, but NOT into your phone yet.
Backup data and apps:
AT&T blocks you from using the SE Backup and Restore app to backup your data before updating (Bastards , so you will need to find one in the Market. "Mybackup" (free in the Market) is good.
Using a Backup and Restore app make a full backup to sdcard of all your user data and apps.
Also, go into contacts and "export contacts to memory card/sdcard". Mybackup should restore contacts, but I have heard of people not being able to restore contacts with other apps. I am not sure why, but it is always good to backup your contacts as many ways as possible, just in case.
Downloads(PC):
Disable any antivirus software or firewalls to allow download of files.
Go to the link below and download the two things mentioned in the paragraphs below the link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
First, find "Flash Tool 0.2.9.1" and click on it and download it to your computer. Open the download. Install wizard will open in a foreign language, but it will change to English. Make a note where the "Flash Tool" folder is saved on your computer. (It may be inside a folder called "software" depending upon your computer.)
Second, click on and download the "X10a generic firmware 2.1.A.0.435" ftf file to your computer from the same thread you found Flash Tool 0.2.9.1.
Flashing:
Using My Computer or Windows Explorer find the folder where you saved the "Flash Tool". Inside of the Flash Tool folder there are additional folders. Find the folder labeled "firmware" inside.
Copy and paste the 2.1.A.0.435 ftf file you downloaded into the "firmware" folder located inside the "Flash Tool" folder.
Once the ftf file is in the "firmware folder", you are ready to flash. Click on X10flashtool.exe just below the "firmware" folder inside the "Flash Tool" folder.
The Flash Tool will open. Click "Flash". Select 2.1.A.0.435 firmware and select OK. Make sure all the sin files are selected. Check box to allow wipe data (the Backup you made will be used to Restore data).
It will tell you to connect your phone in flash mode. Turn off your phone. Once it is off for 10 seconds, press down and continue to hold the back button on your phone, while plugging in the usb cable. Release the back button once the Flash Tool starts working. Wait until says "Finished". DONE Flashing!
It will tell you to unplug and turn on your phone, and enable Usb debugging and unknown sources. Skip that for now.
***If you get an error flashing or flashing aborted, make sure your battery is fully charged. If that doesn't work, there may be a problem with the ftf file you downloaded. Download a new copy of the X10a 2.1.A.0.435 ftf firmware and replace it with the ftf file you put in the "firmware" folder before.
Setting up 2.1/mobile data(APN):
Turn on your phone. When you first turn on your newly unbranded 2.1 X10a it may take a lot longer than usual to boot. This is normal.
Once it finishes booting, it may be in Spanish. Just scroll up to the TOP and select English(United States). Follow the set up, including Wifi and Google Account.
When you finish the set up you will still have to set up data and mms(APN). Go into Settings / Sony Ericsson / Auto search for internet settings. This should set up ATT as your APN (mobile data).
Depending on your location, you may be lucky enough to get an "H" instead of "3G" in your notification bar. This is a good thing. "H" is for HSPA or 3.5+G, faster than 3G!
*It should download them automatically from there, however if it is unable to download settings, you will have to enter them manually. There are 2 APN's found in 2.1 that both need to be added, Media Net (internet) and Media Net MMS (mms). To set up the APN Settings manually go into Settings / Mobile Networks / APN / Create New. Enter them exactly and save. Make sure MEdia Net is checked as active.

Restore Data:
Once you have setup data, wifi, and google account go into the Market and download/reinstall whatever Backup and Restore app you used to backup your data. Then Restore your data and apps. REBOOT.
If the app you used doesn't restore your contacts correctly, go into "contacts" and "export contact from memory/sdcard". REBOOT.
Root, Optimize (enable JIT), Remove Unused System Apps, and Install xRecovery:
Hit the physical menu button(left), then go into Settings / Applications" and check "unknown sources". You can now install non-market apps. Then click on "Development" tab in the same Settings / Applications, and check "usb debugging". You can now start to modify your X10, including root your phone with the new flash tool, install xRecovery, and enable JIT (optimize), among other things.
After usb debugging and unknown sources are checked from above, open Flash Tool again(X10flashtool.exe). While the phone is still ON, connect via usb cable, BUT DO NOT "MOUNT USB CONNECTION" Choose "Charge Battery".
To ROOT: Click on "Root" tab in Flash Tool, and wait until says finished. Then click on "Root Permissions" tab to install SuperUser and Busybox. SuperUser.apk will open on your phone Click on "Allow".
To ENABLE JIT(Just In Time Memory): Click on "Optimize" tab to enable JIT(only 2.1 roms).
To REMOVE SYSTEM APPS: Click on "Clean" tab. The following are safe apps to uninstall. Of course, don't remove apps that you use, but uninstalling Timescape and Face Recognition will give you major improvements. **You don't have to use the Flash Tool to remove system apps. They can also be uninstalled directly on your phone with the app Root Explorer or Titanium Backup, among others.

To Install xRECOVERY: Click on "xRecovery" tab to install xRecovery menu. Reboot. DONE!
To enter xRecovery menu: Reboot and as soon as "Sony Ericsson" appears hit power button on top of phone or start tapping back button until xRecovery Menu appears. If the circular logo appears, you missed it and you need to reboot again. (Coming Soon, See phase 2/post#5 below to allow you to access recovery from gscript app shortcut on homescreen, instead of having to reboot and tap buttons)
Recommended Market Apps:
Root Explorer (a couple $, but one of the most useful apps for a rooted phone, if not the most useful. A file explorer with system write privileges R/W. It pays for itself every time you use it.)**Send me a PM if you cannot find or install Root Explorer**
Titanium Backup * Root (free, second most useful app on a rooted phone. Does what it says and then some. Easily remove SE pre-installed apps that are eating up your system, like Timescape, Face Recognition, SE Sync, Play Now, and all the other useless stuff)
Titanium Backup Pro (Does everything the free version does and a whole lot more. Allows for "freezing" of system apps, instead of uninstalling them, if you wish)
Quadrant Standard and Linpack for Android (Both free, Run benchmark tests on your JIT Enabled Optimized X10a, and see how fast your phone can go compared to stock X10 and other brands. Typical stock X10 benchmark score without JIT is 450 quadrant and 7 linpack, with JIT enabled 800+ quadrant and 31+ linpack)
X10a Missing Apps:
At the bottom of this guide you will find the 2 apps that are missing from the Global Generic X10a firmware that are present in the Regional Generic Kits for you to download to you sdcard.
Google Voice Search allows you to speak instead of type your searches (works great-my favorite new feature). You may have to trash the old Google Search widget on your home screen, and add Voice Search Widget to home screen. It will add a microphone icon to the search widget.
Cell Information Widget is a cell broadcast widget that allows emergency text message broadcasts in the event of an natural disaster or emergency from what I have been told. This will put an AT&T logo on your screen. Use this one if you wish, but it is by no means necessary.
I hope this helps make updating easy for you, and I hope you learned a thing or two. If were not successful, please post your situation below. If you were successful, enjoy! If you want to say thanks, just hit the Thanks Button.

Nicely done! Good job!
@Batman_112, thanks for being there for me back when I needed this type help, and for providing Voice Search apk.
@Jnewell, thanks. I was going to add those and other links later, so you saved me some time.
However, I noticed that these are the old AT&T settings. They didn't work for sending mms. If you auto set up APN on 2.1 you got 2 APN's, Media Net and Media Net MMS. Also look in the first link you provided is a whole thread on why the APN settings you provided don't work for mms. You either need the 2 APN's (Media Net and Media Net MMS), or you can try editing your settings to the ones found in 2.2 which I can confirm work for MMS. Please edit your current settings to reflect these three changes found in 2.2 FreeX10 ROM, and kindly report back if that fixes the MMS problems with one APN on 2.1. Otherwise, would you mind replacing those with the Media Net and Media Net MMS from below, so it is not confusing, and I will delete this post. The whole point of this thread is to take any guess work out.
Edit Jnewell settings to:

**Reserved for phase 2 (tutorial on root explorer, Titanium Backup, JIT and benchmarks, and xRecovery-FreeXperiaRecovery)**
Restoring back to AT&T 1.6 Branded 1237-4604 Firmware with Root Explorer:
Make sure you run a backup first as this will wipe data. You need the app Root Explorer set to write permissions R/W (at top of the screen) then go into system/build.prop file and long press on build.prop file and open in text editor. Then change the SI number from 1234 - 4820 back to 1237-4604 in every place you find it. I think it appears 2 maybe 3 times. Then save and close. REBOOT! Then run repair software via SEUS or PC Companion. *If you have run SEUS or PC Companion since you updated to 2.1, you need delete the contents inside the folder "db" found inside the update service program wherever it is saved on your computer. **It will say that you have the latest software, but REPAIR ANYWAY! Reboot, setup, reinstall your Backup app from market, Restore. DONE!
*Root Explorer costs a couple $, but well worth it. If you have problems finding Root Explorer or do not have a paypal account, send me a PM. I will help you.
**Reserved for phase 3. (Installing themes, custom ROMs including 2.2 Froyo and 2.3 Gingerbread, optimizing 2.1 camera, and other tweaks) **
How can I get backup and restore to work on my American ATT x10
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
does this still apply?
"IMPORTANT:
- You should always wipe userdata if you switch between Android versions (1.6 <-> 2.1). If not your phone will keep restarting all the time"

To be honest, I don't know. I haven't done this since November. I would just follow the guide and use a Backup app to restore data and allow it to wipe data, because some settings might conflict.

AT&T blocks you from installing Sony Ericsson backup and restore, so you need to search the market for one. I recommend Titanium Backup or Mybackup Pro. They are much more useful than the SE app.
Sounds like a fairly promicing guide to help the noobs ;-)

Are you joking? Please don't spam this thread. It only confuses everyone. I know I already helped you update.
Just in case, you obviously didn't follow the steps at all. You aren't supposed to mount SD card. Your phone should have been off. You can't use xRecovery to install. You have to use the flash tool. Delete the files. Do NOT unzip. Just put the entire ftf file in the firmware folder inside the Flash Tool folder.
xRecovery is for custom ROMs designed to be installed with xRecovery, not for flashing ftf files. They are only for the Flash Tool.
@adjent don't take offence or personally im trying to give advice to you to but take a look at my guide and lay it out in a similar step by step fashion and have as much detail as you can. It may help make things easier to follow and less confusing. I over explained everything in mine on purpose for these reasons. Iv tried to answer any questions possible as Iv included as much information as possible and perhaps number the steps for instructions and use more paragraphs and generally make it easier to read as a list of instructions. Take a look and see what you reckon any way. Just follow the link in the sig.

None taken, I appreciate your original post. Actually, I was speaking to Rollhard, not you. He already successfully updated in the guide I sent him via PM. He also rooted, JIT and xRecovery. It looks to me that he tried to use xRecovery to flash the ftf file a second time. Why? I don't know. Maybe he's playing around with xRecovery. I realize now that I never clarified the difference between flash tool files and xRecovery custom ROMs. He got ahead of me on the guide.
However, I will take a look at yours and probably number them. Just haven't gotten there yet.
EDIT:
@Gingerbread Man, it seems that he was trying to install WB's CM6 rom with xRecovery. He was unzipping the files. Don't know if he was using your guide in your signature, but I got him straightened out via PM.
To All, Will be incorporating xRecovery and custom ROMs into phase 3 of this guide shortly. Until then:
FTF and RAR files are for Flash Tool. RAR files must be extracted with WINRAR (Free trial download on web), and then "create bundle" with Flash Tool.
Custom ZIP files are for xRecovery. Download to sdcard. DO NOT UNZIP/EXTRACT. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, battery stats, and fix permissions in xRecovery. Then select install custom zip from sdcard in xRecovery.
Thank you sooooo much I just got an X10 (after owning a Samsung Vibrant for awhile) and this guide was exactly what I needed to get off of 1.6.
good guide! really needed this!!!

[TRICK] How to download from Mega website**Especially for those who doesn't have Admin privileges**
Hi All,
If you have admin privileges you can manually change DNS Server number and access Mega. But unfortunately many may not have Admin rights to modify Network Settings. This guide/trick will provide you necessary tips to download from otherwise unavailable Mega site.
Usually, If you click on download link which is hosted on Mega (Many countries block it!) your browser will greet you with the message "The webpage unavailable" (See first image).
Let's solve this without editing network settings (DNS/VPN etc.).
Requirements:-
1. You need Chrome webbrowser for this. Install Chrome from here.
2. Now Open Chrome--> Goto Chrome Store--> Search for Unlimied Free VPN - Hola & Install this extention app. (Link Here)
Now the trick begins:-
1. Open Chrome and click on the download link. Still you will get the Page not available message. Now You will see some thing like this https://mega.co.nz/#!zBBESCxY!ulXdnKB9_2bvPyRr3aH7WNOP6orm_zkLgJow_1fKK8s in your address bar. (1st Image)
2. Select & Cut from back slash [ / ] after mega.co.nz to the end (like this example:- /#!zBBESCxY!ulXdnKB9_2bvPyRr3aH7WNOP6orm_zkLgJow_1fKK8s)
( Tip:- Use Ctrl+X). (2nd Image)
3. The address bar should have only this https://mega.co.nz (3rd Image)
4. Now Click on Hola extention and Select US or New Zealand or UK server.
(Note:- You may have to try selecting / changing servers few times, be patient, don't give up as it really works) See the Magic,
The mega site opens up.
5. Now paste the actual file address (which you cut in step no. 4) at the end of opened mega web page address and Press Enter. (4th Image)
6. Your download will be ready, now download the file. (See last/5th image)
Happy downloading.

How to open mega in android
You have to use Mega App... Install it from Play Store.
Never use Hola. They don't have their own servers ! They exchange our internet for others ! Eg. If you are using a USA VPN, then your IP will used by someone else at the same time !
