Hello i was wondering if the above ROM updates will work on my QTEK 1010:
ROM Version: 3.16.13 ENG
Radio Version: 3.19.01
I mean anyone tested if before or managed to upgrade his QTEK with the above ROM versions from O2 and were there any complications!!
:?: :?: :? :?: :?:
Thanks
Yes I did and it worked fine. I have it running on T-Mobile MDA, Qtek 1010 and Eurotel dataphone (rebranded Qtek). No problems.
I tried to upgrade and got the following error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ROM Image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible to your pocket pc.
Here are there differences:
Your device information:
ModelW10A:007
ROM Version: 3.16
Language: English
Your upgraded image information
ModelW10A:001
ROM Version: 3.15
Language: English
Please download the compatible utility and try again
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So where is the problem?
Thanks

It has been answered a few times, look through fora. it's a general pocket pc language change question, but applies to this one too. You need to rewrite the ROM header to match your device. Can be sort of tricky if you don't know what you're doing.
Did you install it
I have the same qtek with 3.16 and 3.19 shall I do it or wait to uk version?
If you don't mind O2 startup screen & O2 autoconfig...
supplier or distributor

Hi,
My advise to you is to try to get the latest rom upgrade from
either your supplier or distributors.
Also be very wary and careful when you got advice from this
forum on where or which website to download etc especially the
one which you do not have any informations if it suit your device
or not. If it is not suitable then after downloading it to your device
it will freeze up and you have to get it replaced. These people who
give advise take for granted everyone who view this forum are
professional like them. They never realise there are lots of new
users of the device that are trying to find out more informations.
Sometimes no warning was given to you when they just give you
the website to download etc.. I am one of those new user and also
I believe one of the victims too. I do support their intetests in this
forum but not the way some of the advise are given. Hope they
got the message. So good luck to you and happy upgrading.
Why on earth would you want to go from 3.16/3.19 to 3.15/4.16? Makes no sense to me...
bamse: because it's better
I'am used xda radio upgrade 4.16.00 with qtek
it is fine
I've just purchased an XDA IIi in Australia
ROM Version 1.11.00 WWE
ROM Date 01/27/05
Radio version 1.00.00
Protocol Version 1337.39
ExtROM version 1.11.923 WWE
I've been following a number of posts on upgrading rom (more stability, better performance) and upgrading Radio (better signal strength) but I'm confused.
1. What will I gain from upgrading? Will I see any real benefit?
2. Will the posted upgrades work for my Australian XDAIIi
3. Has anyone in Aus done any upgrades - is it hard/safe?
I'm keen to get the best from my device but don't want to screw it up. Anyone who can offer advice/guidance to a newbie would be doing me a real favour.
Thanks
The first thing is that there are 3 seperate ROM's in the XDA2i;
1. OS/boot ROM - Normally Windows 2003SE. Not much choice here!
2. Extended ROM - Operator specific software and customisations
3. Radio ROM - The bit that deals with the GSM and GPRS (phone)
What you will gain from an upgrade basically depends on what you need. Upgrades provided by your operator will normally add additional or updated software packages or patches to fix problems that have been reported to the operator.
In reality though, the updates provided by the operators will not be ideal. For example, O2 until recently were still providing Radio ROM v1.00.00, whereas 1.04.00 has been available for some time now. They have added Blackberry support in the recent Extended ROM version 1.11.169, but I don't use blackberry. Therefore the O2 ROM updates are of no use to me.
Thus I took the Radio 1.04.00 ROM from this site, and modified the 1.11.162 ROM provided by O2 (also downloadable from this site) to suit my needs and installed the resultant ROM images on my PDA.
In your case, you appear to be using Radio 1.00.00. So you will certainly benefit from upgrading to Radio 1.04.00, because this fixes some serious stability problems which caused the PDA to crash when using certain SD cards.
As for the extended ROM, you could install one of the many examples available on this site, but beware that if you choose a ROM designed for a different operator, many settings will be different, so SMS/MMS/WAP/GPRS etc may not work properly unless you know how to configure them manually.
There are lots of instructions and programs in these forums to help you make a customised extended ROM should you want to. But don't be afraid to ask if you want help - better to ask than have a broken PDA!
hope at least some of this makes sense!
Hi,
I'm a new (and already happy) owner of this fantastic device.
I've bought the VODEFONE 1640 ITA and suddenly upgraded with latest italian I-MATE ROM image.
The new ROM image works well but I find out that the RADIO IMAGE installed (1.9.0.0) it's older than the original (1.14.0.0).
Right now those are the version of my ROM:
Radio Version: 1.09.00
Protocol Version : 42.42.P8
ExtROM Version: 1.30.81 ITA
Considering I'm a dummy, what are the main differences on those versions?
Moreorer anytime I start the phone I get the error message: "I-MATE CONFIGURATOR application is compatibile only with I-MATE devices. It's suggested to disinstall this apps from the device"
Did I do something wrong or it's a common error after a ROM upgrade?
Thank you for your support and long life to the HTC!!!
Pablo
Please finish reading the following links, although this are all WWE ROMS. You can get the language pack from Asukal's thread.

It is 1.09.00, not 1.9.0.0. Radio 1.09.00 is not too bad a Radio, but again it depend on your network in your area. So the only way to find out which is the best, you have to try it out, because different version works for different person.
HTC products seems to be not getting any better as more competitors are coming up with equal and better devices. Although now Universal is still in its own class, but next year there should be some or at least 1 of such product to give us more choice. Anyway read more in this forum and also my 1 year experience using this device and you will find that the mechanical & battery of Universal by HTC really sucks!
Does anybody know the latest offical ROM etc for the T-Mobile Vario2?
Mine is off back to T-Mobile tommorow for checking out over battery life.
My current details are:
ROM Version: 1.21.110.3
ROM Date: 06/19/06
Radio Version: 1.05.05.00
Protocol Version: 32.36.7010.04H (Whatever that is!)
I would like them to update it whilst its away, but I wonder if there is a newer one I can officially have.
Cheers
Sorry to bump up; but can somebody with a new model check their ROM please? Or is there somewhere on this site that has a list of latest "approved" versions?
Cheers
Look at the wiki for shipped ROMS
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Looks like you're not far off the latest official versions
Thanks Sparky
Well, received back today.
Repair docket said replaced mainboard/unit exchanged plus software upgraded.
The phone is new as imei number is different.
But ROMS etc are all same version.
I am using this Rom
Rom Version 1.35.255.2
Rom Date 11/14/06
Rom Version 1.18.00.10
Protocol Version 32.55.7018.01H
ExtRom Version 1.35.255.102
I got this from the Wiki Site. Works real well i think!
I just wanna get the vista onto my MDA Vario II. If it runs faster thats all i want!!!
DOnt want to sound stupid...... but what would I get (over my standard T-Mobile image) if I upgraded to this or the even newer HTC one (2.05.255.1 - 01/17/07 ). Whats the AKU etc?
Please try to search for your answers! Use google or the forum's search function and you'll be helped. You'll find so much information, some are for beginners, some are for advanced users. And if you find yourself left with specific questions come back and ask them. Thanks.
Sorry chaty, but I did try searching and could not find the answer, this is why I asked!
Hi All,
I wonder if somebody knows where I can find a rom of Proximus in Belgium.
Hi,
I'm from Belgium also ... why would you like to have that rom? Just install the latest ROM version here available ... I think that's the best ROM you can have ...
Well, I'm also looking for that rom and more specifically for the extrom.
Proximus added some special items in that extrom which I would like to have :
The mobile TV player (and I guess you also need the certificates), a custom version of MMS composer and a cab file which sets all connection settings, etc.
So if anybody has that rom (or ExtRom), please post it here.
Regards,
Bendalf
UP!!
Anybody can HELP with that?
Up I'm really interested in that too...
In fact I want to try upgrade to WM6 but I also want to be able to put the phone back to it's original state.
I don't know if it's really possible cause I have to update all software parts...
The reason is for warranty...
Guys,
Don't know exactly what part of the ext rom you're referring to? I bought a regular Dutch TyTn and have been flashing and reflashing and reflashing again From WM5 to 6 and back again, changing SPL in between and even started a little cooking of my own.
Most of the cooked roms work (very) well, but if you really want to make sure, you need to dump your original rom first before you flash a new one. (read the wiki and all the threads you can find first)
Anyway, I hope you have as much fun as me discovering how to customize your hermes and make it do what you want, how you want it and more important, make it do what you want it to do.
Grtz.
Hi aeroke,
Thank for your answer.
In fact, I'm just waiting to be sure that I can if needed (ie: hardware problem that need warranty) I can restore the phone to the exact original state to avoid any warranty problem.
So tell me if I'm wrong but full original state is:
- original IPL
- original SPL
- original radio rom
- original rom
- original extended rom
For now, I try to find each "original pieces" before upgrading
- for extended rom: I unhide it and simply copy/paste content of "Extended_rom" folder to my computer. Is it the right way ?
- for rom: I find a tutorial on the wiki and I'll follow it this evening, I hope I can do that
- for radio rom, IPL, SPL: for now, I don't know if it's possible to get (by dumping or downloading) the original ones and restore them after
I write all the informations I found in my phone for the original versions, here there are:
HERM200
IPL-1.00
HERM200
SPL-1.04
version ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
version Radio: 1.03.03.10
version de Protocole: 32.34.7010.01H
version ROM Extended: 1.18.256.9643
So, as soon I'll be sure that I can roll back to the original state, I'll upgrade to the WM6 schaps version by following the vanx guide.
I found a guide for backing up and restore the TyTN by dumping the ROM just here. But I never found any guide to restore SPL, radio ROM, IPL...
I'll be happy to have any informations about that.
Thank you in advance
Don't worry about the warranty, i bricked my Hermes once (only after that i found out how to do it right ) and it was repaired with no extra costs. So i wouldn't worry to much about it.
Just go ahead and flash that thingy. Btw, the Black Satin (JJ) together with radio 1.47.00.10 works perfectly with Proximus.
Thanks for your response, I'll look about Black Satin.
Just another question, is there any incompatibility with any WM6 and Extended_Rom software provided by Proximus ?
I haven't used any software from Proximus untill now, bought my Hermes with standard WM5 and flipped in my Proximus SIM card. The software you find here on the forums do everything that you can imagine, so there is really no need for special proximus software i guess.
As far as I can tell, the IPLdoesn't change normally, but the SPL does change. Anyway no worries as you can restore your original SPL (I still have the 1.04 somewhere)
The radio rom can always be flashed back with the original duth rom you find here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
This rom also reflashes your IPL and SPL back.
As far as compatibility between the WM6 roms and Proximus soft goes, I don't know, but I can't imagne you need more/other soft than you find available right here.
EDIT: This is only my personal opinion, but I think I tried about al the WM6 roms and find the one from Schaps the most stable one, perhaps not the most graphicaly exciting one, but the most stable one.
Grtz
Settings Proximus
Hi, I'm also on Proximus here in Belgium. Has anyone found an Ext_rom yet from this provider? Or maybe any ideas when they will launch their wm6 version?
I haven't got the settings for proximus. Any help?
Tnx in advance
Hi,
I have one Hermes from their "Proximus Collection" so I have a Proximus Ext ROM on it. I can do a Backup of it and upload it to the xda wiki. (I'll do that this evening if I can).
I don't know if Proximus will provide an upgrade to WM6...
Thanks Genyam for your help.
Can you tell us the rom version you have ?

Would that work with WM6?
I don't know if it works with WM6 but as this is only a set of CAB files, I suppose that they are compatible.
I've already created and uploaded to xda ftp a dump of my ROM.
My infos:
ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
Radio: 1.03.03.10
Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H
Extended ROM: 1.18.256.9643
The CID for the Proximus Hermes: QTEK_203
OK thnx, grabbin it right now. Is it French only?
The dump that is already uploaded is for ROM, not Ext_ROM, I'll put my Ext_ROM this evening.
I suppose that it's not french only cause when I hard reset my Hermes it's in Dutch.
yeah thnx i noticed. Np, i'll grab it tonight then.
The Extended Rom is added to this wiki page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms
