Go here to have a look.
hey, i saw that too this afternoon. wonder if it could be used by english speaking users? it says WWE, so i guess it is in english?
i'm uploading the unpacked installation folder to FTP now. maybe someone who knows his thing, could could magic a .bat file to change the carrier?
I have a S100 bought in Sweden with rom-version 1.3.00 WWE, anyone tried the upgrade on this version?
Is it possible to first upgrade 1.3.00 to 1.3.148? Anyone has a link to such an upgrade?
Appreciate all feedback!
pell0, try www.smartmobile.se go to the update page and enter your IMEI, if your device is supported wich I think it will be you will be abel to download the package and install it, make sure your device is charged to at least 80% befor starting the upgrade. Write a note here when your done so we know if it worked or not.
Or http://www.smartmobile.se/upgrade/upgrade.aspx for the update page directly.
Damned, why don't we have the same in France ..... I can't find who is supporting Qtek and ROM Updates in France ...
Anyway, what's your opinion before/after an update, do you have a backup and then do a restore or do you start from scratch and re-install all programs.
The reason why I'm asking is that some companys recomends the latter, reinstall all programs instead of doing a restore.

OK, i have tested works so great with the update, connection with cradle is 5 times faster, i have 1gb card and lots of ppc movies goeas really fast now, but i recomend an hard reset and reinstallation.
After update I experience that the audio quality is soo much better then before, bluetooth seems more stabel and more easy to connect to. T9 Swedish input, yey that is soo much better then before. Anything els... Camera, better but still not good.
If the unit was a 3 on a scale of 5 before, its at least a 4 now.
After update I did everything from scratch. Why? Just feal so much cleaner then to use a backup.
Tnx Badger for helping me out of a dreadful situation. I am pretty satisfied with my new unit.
The only real difference that i noticed was that the device responed a lot quicker and that i have Swedish, Finnish, Norweigan, Danish T9 Dictionaries. However they only apply when using "Phone Pad" as an inputdevice. Other then that, nothing. It´s still the same dreadful MS BTstack and it still have some bugs. I couldn´t restore. Either from ActiveSync nor from Xbackup. Activesync gave me an error about another version and after using Xbackup the touchscreen did not respond, at all. But i was time for a fresh start anyway,
Hello All,
Thanks for your feedback!
Can you please put your ExtROM content on the FTP?
Thanks !
Thanks, I will update my norwegian Qtek s100 later today. I believe the message about the ROM only working for swedish models are BS... I've used ROMs from qtek.nu earlier (Qtek2020) and they always worked great, don't see what could be a problem now...

Crap! Country ID error... well I guess we need the passwords so we can change the ROM..
Yes...
And how is it possible to obtain this passwd, by deassembling the file, or only waiting someone who already have it (Qtek or HTC team ...) ?
My IMEI number doesn't work! Guess I'll have to talk with their help desk. Sigh...
Skip
Confirming that it won't work with german MDA. This has to be resolved somehow....
could anyone please upload the Swedish, Finnish, Norweigan, Danish T9 Dictionaries for the intellipad - i have the imate jam and can not update...but i am interested in these files due to the fact that i am DANISH
Thanks in advance
worx g8 !
only thingy is that the T9 only worx with phonepad "intellipad".
i cant see why it shouldnt work with the keybord as well.. guess they were in a hurry putting it together...its a big bad not have the correct t9 language when introducing a new modell today..
otherwise im happy with it.
Updating right now, but it doesn't look good!
Well, after reading about this new firmware, I was thrilled!
It will fix some of the few faults I've seen in the S100.
And now, I've downloaded the new firmware, the installation guide, I've backup'ed my old sms's and contacts and done everything I needed to do.
Started installing. The program checked old firmware, gave me the green light and I pressed "Next".
Now it says:
"Checking the information on your device... Please wait...
Please don't disconnect bla. bla. bla."
The thing that concerns me, is the fact that it's been saying that for 10 minutes now, and the computer isn't doing anything (No CPU- or Harddrive-activity).
All the display on my S100 says is "USB" on top and "v1. 00" at the bottom.
If anyone who has done this upgrade could tell me what is supposed to happen and how long it takes, I would appreciate it alot!
Thanks!
Hi,
I recently upgraded my Blue Angel (Yes I know this is a Magician thread!), but the problem you described it exactly the same as what I had happen.
I found that it only ever happened (hung/froze) if I tried to flash it with the SD card in. Not entirely sure why, but whenever I did it without it in it worked fine.
Anyway, you should be able to safely remove the phone from the cradle (it hasn't started yet anyway if it still says USB...). As you remove it it'll change to Serial, but that's fine. Leave the program on the PC running.
Things to try:
First just take out the SD card and see if it works again when you redock it.
Failing that hard reset it (should come back to the same Serial/USB screen) and redock that. If it still doesn't work, then take the battery out, wait 30 minutes or however long it takes for a Magicians backup battery to die (about 25 minutes on a Blue Angel) and then put it back on. If still not working kill the program/reload it, but I'm sure you'll have it working way before that.
Obviously I'm only saying what I've seen from my BA, but it doesn't seem that different. Also I've yet to see one person permanently fry their phone on here so I wouldn't panic yet (if you were - which I know I was!)
Hope that was some help!
Hi guys, great forum.
I must admit to being rather nieve and lost in all the technical stuff! Im a newbie to the XDA world, and so far Im loving it!
I bought my O2 XDA mini s on ebay, at just over 2 months old. Its in perfect condition, but when I try to remove the O2 software, it's not on the list... but its definately still on there!
Should I let my battery run out and reboot it?
Also it wont link with the outlook on my pc (installed from the cd) so it looks like its gonna take me 3 weeks of typing to put all my contacts in to it!
Can someone point me in the right direction for a thread? Or is there a good site for newbies to look at in layman's terms?
Any help would be extremely well recieved!
Cheers
Hi Gary
sorry mate can't help but noticed your post had no answer. Like you I am not a techie. Most of the posters on here seem to do nothing but experiment with their XDA's all day There is a wealh of info and help but sadly only useful to other techies.
There doesn't appear to be anything geared at assisting casual users and non techies that have neither the time or inclination to fiddle with ROM's and software etc .
I reckon that would be a useful sticky for noobs- like how to change/ customise the desktop and install various A/V software and remove o2 software etc
Suggest you get the full manual and wade through that.
I bought my o2 mini s at xmas and haven't made a single call on it yet . Its far too complicated for me and working 12 hour days I've no time to play about with it. :roll:
I'm no techy either but I do know that if you do a hard reset and choose corporate install the O2 stuff is not installed. There's some good advice here too - it's maybe a bit less technical than this site.

Cheers for the replys Dave and Peanut.
I managed to find something useful here... http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=287641
if theres anyone else thats confused about this stuff.
I'm really happy with mine, on the whole it seems pretty simple to use. I hate that it doesnt close programmes when you click the x though.
Im gonna have a little play, but I'll need to get my mms and gprs info from orange first if i install the corporate profile.
I find that if the phone is on for more than 5 mins ifI press the green call button it doesnt bring up the phone screen, even with the normal power setting! I'm hoping this new profile will speed the bad boy up a bit too!
WiFi is a godsend on a mobile! Yey!
Without going through all the palava of flashing a new Rom the easiest way of really removing the O2 crud is to do a Hard Reset of the device (hold the Com Manager and Voice Command buttons the poke the little reset hole on the right hand side of the unit.
When you get the option select corporate installation option and then if I remember correctly you get a count down, press the reset button (without the other two buttons) again briefly to do a soft reset this should then start Windows in its regular non O2 sullied form.
Hope this helped.
HI all.Already five days I got home the phone with China's navy much I enjoyed it, but I just had a great sense of helplessness. From the first day I have with this phone problem: after about five minutes of operation to stop responding touch screen or soft reset helping jse since I do not even hard reboot (press and hold volume up button + camera and then use the stylus to do reset). So I excluded the battery for about 5 minutes after that time I re-inserted the battery into the device and turned on him when everything started to work so I found an item MASTER RESET and then I made it proceeded normally, but up to the display settings when I finally managed to set the display (approximately on 10 attempts!) and again the phone worked well. then I try to delete the original touch Flo, but unfortunately it did not too. when the device is put in stand by mode and turn on the device after the display was not functioning again. Then I thought to try different combinations of key presses to obtain a hard reboot. Finally, I managed to find kobinaci functional buttons: I dragged the button at the same time receiving a call (GREN), and click the camera and I have soft reset then whole screen changed color to blue and make the hard reboot, unfortunately, I stopped at the display because the touch screen does not respond anything! Did not even remove the battery! Please ask for help, please
Do you use MIO 350 with this device but I never had the slightest problem and to use non-original rom

I apologize for my English using Google translator
i think the clone rom is corrupted
infact i really dont think clone model will even let you update the rom too
it could also be cause of damaged Hardware
Yes it seems you're right. It looks at the failure of hardware
thx.
hello there. for you and anyone else with china htc problem this is the solution for it.
go to this page and download the IMG file called "update.img" from this link
then follow this steps.
1. Format your HTC memory card (Micro SD card), so it will be clean.
2. Move the update.img (you already downloaded from the site) to root directory of your Memory card.
3. Press Volume Up button on your htc and while keeping it pressed , press the reset button.
You should get the blue screen telling the update being downloaded. Wait for a while and it will tell that Update is successfull and your phone will be rebooted.
THis is it.

This I have already tried, but without success. The combination of pressing volume up and press the soft reset using stylus on my device does not work!
I only managed to make hard reset but it was an interesting combination of a call button (green) and the camera button and then using the stylus, I made hard reset the whole screen changed color to blue . On my device, which was served on the operating system was installed WM 6.1
These Chinese guys are really smart. First they invented 2-sim IPhone, now Elf... Keep going people...
Today, I wrote that my phone is defective. So I have to send him to HONG KONG. When I receive a repaired or new I know how it turned out

If you are using Windows vista or windows 7, you need to have Windows mobile device centre from the Microsoft website installed.
Yes, I have the activeSync installed in my pc, but it doesn't recognizing my phone. I'm using Windows XP. Any suggestion to solve my problem?

How would I know from that picture? They copied the entire bloody device and installed WM6.1 on it, they didn't call it HTC on the front to avoid getting their arses sued or customs stopping their product, I can bet you the internals are not in any way related to HTC, what is the sense coming here with inane questions?? You already know you don't have the genuine HTC product, you knew it the minute you bought it, you still want to ask members of this forum if you have the real deal?

Hi all,
I just bought a new HTC Cruise or T4242 china model, and the guy who sell this to me told me that the phone has touchflo 3d and i assumed that all the applications that an original HTC would have.
Anyway, it has wm6.1 i tried to use the gps and simply the software does not run, i tried to install the footprints but aparently i supposed to upgrade the rom or something like that... I AM COMPLETELY NEW at this.
What i want is to have this phone working as an original or better, with all the htc software like gps, footprint, the touchflo 3d or whatever works, and take all advantage possible of having this device.
COULD ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND THE RIGHT ROM, SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT HOW TO INSTALL IT (I dont have the knowledge, but i learn fast), AND ALL THE SOFTWARE RELATED...
Thanks in advance, i hope someone can really help me!!!
there is no rom upgrade available (yet), at least not from HTC.
something tells me that something went wrong during installation, because all of it should work.
only one thing: don't overestimate touchflo. it is not 3D i.m.o., maybe 2D....
mikekarim: Try to perform hard reset. Device will go into factory setting and everything must work then.
HTC T4242+ (I need support)
Hi All,
I also have bought an HTC T4242+ via the internet from China, and when I received the phone I found WM6.1 loaded in the phone and I have a problem with it as my voice is breaking or not hearable when I do a phone call!!! I asked many people and they told that I have to upgrade the ROM but infact, I found that there is no Boot Loader in the phone and did not know how to do that, I contacted my supplier who sent me a .rar file and he told me to open it to be UPR file and load it on the TFT card by a TFT card reader, then to press three buttons together, the power, Middle and green buttons until I see bar showing upgrading, then to restart the phone!!! I did all that many times but nothing happend, the bar showed no progress at all!!!! anybody can help to instruct me to how to upgrade the ROM..................??????????? I will appreciate your help guys
I'm afaraid that's one of the negative sides of the fake touch cruise, my friend... I had such fake iolite, I had to sell it because of this issue, and to buy the original.
Hi there, to format the tft card to fat, not fat 16, not fat 32
and try it out.
I hope it works.
I just got my HD2 back from repairs after 1 month now, I had the problem where the phone freezes up when I recieve calls. This got fixed, and I have not noticed any of the symtoms I had earlier. But now...
1. The FM-Radio does not work.
2. When I connect my phone to my computer, my computer sais: "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. for assistance in solving this problem, click this message." And just connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect.
3. When I turn on my cellphone, I get a warning: BTTrayCE er ikke et gyldig Pocket Pc-program. (BTTrayCE is not a valid Pocket PC-program in English)
It just kills me that the phone that actually won the "Mobile of the year '09" by Amobil.no, sucks more than the Iphone.
Should I just send my phone back to repairs again, or do you guys have any idea how to fix this without using another month in repairs?
OS: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
ROM: 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM-date: 01/12/2010
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
First off, I'm sorry to see that your phone is having these issues. Mine has worked like a charm ever since I installed the first custom ROM.
Now my question; have you HSPL'ed your phone yet?
You could try installing another (custom) ROM and a newer radio version to see if it helps.. It might aswell fix your problems.

I did use HSPL before I sent my phone to repairs, but it did not fix any problems, therefore I do not believe in HSPL'ing anymore.. I did not notice any difference at all, after installing a custom rom, or radio..
I see.. Have you tried Task29 yet? (Formatting it completely)
And then installing the latest Radio + a custom rom? (Before trying this, be SURE you have HSPL'ed it!)
If you've already tried that, I think the only thing you'd be able to do is to get a huge stone (or your HD2 itself), put a note on it saying 'It still does not work properly', and throwing it through the window of any HTC office in your country .
Or just open a ticket/calling them saying it still doesn't work and that you demand a replacement/new phone, as how it is now it's kinda an expensive brick.

Do HTC even bother about their customers? Doesn't seem so, seeing that if the cellphone should have any problems of this sort, they say you will get a new phone. But rather getting a new phone, I got the old one back, in worse condition than before.
Also, I wonder if they can check my problems? Because we have a law in Norway, if the same problem occours after 3 times repaired, you can either get a new phone or money back (same with all other electronics). So could I just lie and say I have the same problem + the new problems? **** the ethics ..

Task29 isn't that risky.. Just run HSPL again and get that done, then run the packed exe as found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781. As long as you press the VolDown button when it restarts, you will be totally fine. However in your case, I'd indeed not expect much improvement, as it really seems to be a hardware problem.

I think it is all the same with those big corporations. One customer, who cares? As long as their phones sell, why would they bother? Same story all over again.
I'd go for the three strikes = new phone way. However, it does suck to have your phone taken away from you for another month or so..
sorry mate..mine works like a charm since day one must be just u it still is the best phone
lmao it has some disadvantages (like tft screen,no tv out/hdmi out/crap loudspeaker) but lmao its still better than most phones out there

Guess what, it is the lastest stock, I just checked it.. Norwegian atleast, and I don't bother using other languages (even English). Just posted a ticket on HTC.com/no, and then I will send it to repairs again, and again, and then I'm changing to a Samsung Galaxy S..
I've heard Samsung support is even worse than HTC..
But indeed, the Galaxy S does have features that our phone lacks.. Still, I think the HD2 looks more sexy.

The HD2 looks way better, I do agree. But my brother bought himself a samsung galaxy s, and he's going to start making games and apps, so he could teach me a little bit, and if I have problems, I could go to him rather than sending it to repairs, (not all problems are easily solved on the intarwebz) and then I'd get rid of Windows Mobile..
Sorry to hear that you have such hard issues with your HD2.

I had the same issue too. TomTom replaces two BT files (Your bluetooth should not work by now) so the BT application can not start up properly. THIS fixes at least this problem (Use Resco Explorer or TotalCommander and unhide system files).
I hope you'll find help for your other issues, too.

Well, instead of buying a licence, you hack it, using a keygen of some sort :S Didn't quite get what I did, but I used CMD to open a keygen and create a file :S Was weird, but hey, I did it... After 2 hours of trying
Easy when you know how, but im sure its not something that should be discussed on the forums. (WTB TomTom for sale from the australian site, as i feel its worth the cash)
anyway, darkkoushirou is correct regarding TomTom + Bluetooth.
I found it easier to install it to the SD card then factory reset. Once thats done i used total commander to simply copy a link back into your start menu.
Now that my custom ROM has XDA_UC i have set it to auto-copy the link back to my start menu after each rom upgrade
I know that when i got the handset i was trying many different apps, some of which caused issues. Once you get an idea of the ones you need, doing a factory reset is recommended. Then only install the 'good' ones.
