You may use any ROM Updgrade, you may even want to cook your own ROM, but please do not think of performing a radio stack upgrade if your present radio is working well and giving you a trouble free service.
Hi guys,
I 'm in same situation but with higher versions, and can hardly wait to get a new 2003 ROM.
I can't just play with my XDA as I use it all the time for work and it's pretty stable so far. I just also can't tell that the ROM is 'totally' separate from the RUU in WM2003.
So the question is: is there any one here who has gone through a 2003 upgrade for Qtek 1010 to tell us his thoughts after the upgrade ?
I read a lot about the stability of 4.00.16 ENG, but all been written was for O2 R4.21 or T-Mobile R6.xx. Did any one in this region (Mid East) with R 3.2x went into this upgrade ? and what is the current status ?
Thanx all ....
Latest ...
I tried upgrading to 4.00.11 ENG from the kitchen ... no matter how many trys it just restarts and gives the same error message "Can't open USB/com port ..." ...
Do I miss anything ??
more update ...
Tried to cook the new ROM as .nb1 file and used Xdatools from the kitchen to flash my device .... same result :? :evil:
Is it possible that there is a ROM protection on my XDA ??? :shock:

Hi Biso007,
Look at the IDIOTS GUIDE at:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3171
and follow the instructions thoroughly one by one and you can't go wrong, it did work for me, I was in the same situation.
Samohile - Thanks. It is good advice to not mess with the radio if you can help it.
My only problem is that my device periodically shuts off. Then pressing the power button soft boots it. I cant tell for sure but it seems that this happens after an incoming or missed call. It seems that other friends using ROM 3.18.04 and Radio 3.25.01 (like our friend biso007 here) seem to have very stable systems.
I can try upgrading the ROM only and see what happens but the information at www.carrierdevices.com seems to imply that both ought to be upgraded at the same time. I notice it is an Australian site. Does that matter? Also, the version of the radio upgrade is a bit confusing, at least from its name. (Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe] ). I wonder what this RSUv1.15 translates into since the name of the exe file for the ROM is nicely descriptive of the version (3.18.04).
Any advice in this would be very welcome..
Well i am using WM2003 4.00.11 and its working fine for me no problem i cooked in the kitchen you just need to read arround this great forum for a whgile on topics such as upgrades and ROM to know exactly what you are dealing with and then you will able to upgrade smoothly.
:wink:
Hi ARZLEB
I read lots and lots about upgrade lessons but none of them worked for me .... I got an advice to use SD card with bootloader as it's the only working way. Now I wonder why the EXE method was created!!
I see that u got the 4.00.11 working. Did u upgrade it using EXE or SD card. Any help would be so appreciated ... thnx
Well i used the EXE methode the file i cooked in the Kitchen but i didnt change the version i left as 3 at the bottom of the page it works fine i upgraded from 3.XX to 4.XX then i downgraded from 4.00.11 to 4.00.05 then upgraded again all using EXE format so far working great.
i will be honest with you i know about the SD methode very well but never tried it so u have to make more search on this issue.
If you need anything more plz message me anytime and i will be more then whilling to help you step by step...

Faisal sorry for very late reply.
I have flashed my Qtek (bought in Abu Dhabi) with several versions of roms cooked in kitchens (Jeff's and Stefans's), but I have finally settled with ATT release wm2003 Siemens SX56 upgrade. It comes with most of the bugs fixed (except multiple reset bug) and is quite stable. I almost never have to reset it. You can flash the ROM only by SD card method though. You can try it. It's always a good idea to flash using SD card method. USB method using ProgramA is not very safe. I guess the network in Pakistan is compatible with the one in the UAE, so you can safely use it, if you don't mess up with the Radio Stack. My Radio is 3.23.01 and I have no problems with that.

help !!!!!!!!!!!!!

my 2 weeks old qtek 2020 that i bought from london. crashes down and without reason performs hard reset every couple of days, i have backups but it is very frustrating, and all the time i have a feeling that the system is not stable.
my device info are :
rom version 1.66.00 wwe
rom date 02/20/04
radio version 1.10.00
protocol version 1337.18
extrom version 1.66.130
do i need to update the rom to solve the problem and if so what is the link to it
or are there any other suggstions how to solve the problem
Crash
When I got my XDA2 last year it did this, but it was down to the apps I was using. Try using it without any apps and see how well it works. I only have to hard reset mine about once a month now, but soft resets are still several times a week, but that is due to tomtom.

Mate, what on earth are you doing :shock: :shock: :shock: I only every hard reset mine once in 9 months and that was for the ROM upgrade... all these problems must result from pretty poor software...
k_blaa, how about naming the topic in a way that people can actually see what your problem is :idea:

Tmobile ROM dated 08/12/2005

what does it fix cosmetic or software issues ??? 802.11g maybe???
Would be interested to know before i load it up..
Baz
Why is it on such a weird site? Iris-global?
I'm downloading it to check if it's save, but I'm having second thoughts about trying it. Dunno wanna f*ck up my wizard. :roll:
there is nothing wrong, its the official t-mobile download site!
jim
just completed the update, no noticable differences except it is damn fast!!!! Would be interested to know what the official differences are though.
It's just the version that shipped with the UK devices.

Same experience, no noticable difference but it's alot faster then the dutch shiped ROM. And much more stable too.
I'm liking it so far.
Edit: Found a new program called streaming video, not 100% sure if i had this on my Vario when I bought it. :?

It is on mine, Rom dated 09/29/05.
If I can find links to this new rom from the official uk tmobile homepage then I will be installing it today.
Can anyone say if the 802.11G problem (or lack of support) is addressed in this update?
Which rom would you people recommend - this T-Mobile ROM or the I-Mate K-Jam Rom? any opinions?
Hmm I'm still not convinced this is an OK download, can anyone walk me through getting to the site from http://www.t-mobile.com/ or http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/

Looks legit to me
Although the rom version is updated to 1.6.2.4. (WWE), the rom date is from 11/15/05.
But it's working like a charm.
Hi everyone i'm really new to the wizard but still wanna have my device up to date. I'v had the Vario for a week now and my ROM version is: 1.3.2.2 ENU and the ROM date is 9/29/05. I have downloaded this new ROM but should i update my VArio with it or not. I cant really tell if i need to or not. Sorry for bein a noob just too new to all this. Thanx to all replies.

It's entirely up to you. If you're current Rom is working well, upgrading isn't really necesarry. I was having alot of problems (constant lockups, slow, etc) with the dutch Rom I got when I bought it. Thats why I removed the CID lock to install an alternative Rom.
So far there arent any Roms out with major updates for increased hardware performance, these should come out late jan/begin feb and I read T-Mobile won't bring one out till late march.
Been trying the WWE T-Mobile rom since last night, and it's still working great. Haven't had time to install my applications yet, but it's allready alot faster and more stable then the Q-Tek (Dutch and WWE), i-mate and O2 Rom's i've tried.

you will need to soft reset your device. To install this ROM on your device you will need to use the lokiwiz program, then you can install the file to your phone.
Hope that helps
Jim
Is mine even newer?
I wonder if going back to the TMO version would help any? My QTEK came with this:
ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE
ROM Date: 11/28/05
Radio Version: 01.13.0
Protocol 4.6.13.24
ExtROM: 1.6.7.101
It seems a bit poky, and battery life seems horrible

T-mobile MDA pro ROM flashed with Imate. Pls help

Hi i bought this new phone T-Mobile MDA PRO and for some reason the Imate Jas jar software shows, the guy whom i bought this phone said that the phone was unlocked and the rom flashed with Imate Jas jar.. here is my rom version :
ROm version : 1.12.38.wwe
rom date : 08/24/05
Radio version : 1.03.00
Protocol version : 42.36 p8
extrom version : 1.12.120 wwe
Now my question is should i install a T-mobile rom update or should i Update the rom with the Imate jasjar ??
Where can i find the latest Imate Jas jar version pls help
Well I would suggest that the first thing you do is ask yourself, why you are upgrading. What is broken now, or doesn't work as you would like. Then which ROM will fix this problem.
Basically I'm saying if it's working OK now for you, don't upgrade. If you bought it as a toy, or something to learn on then it doesn't matter. You can upgrade to what ever you think you might like. If on the other hand it is a tool then don't "fix" it if it's working OK for you now.
The problem what i see is when i play music files .. the music starts plays for 4-5 seconds and then stops for 2 seconds and then plays nonstop. it happens with all the music files and ringertones as well..
and i would also like to know if the ROM update would make my device a better one ? just assuming whats ur say.
I would want my Reception on fido to improve

restarting magician handsets like o2, imate , etc...

hallo.
i am sandy from india and i got one problem from 3 months a go. the problem is restartin my o2 again and again automattically. i am really very tired for it and i made everything possible 4 it like changing rom version and i used more than 8 rom version and radio stack also but i cant find solution for restarting automattically of my o2 xda mini.
is and body can help me for my trouble.
i will really thankful if i got some help.
i am using o2 xda mini with
rom version:1.13.00 wwe
radio version: 1.13.00
protocol ver:1337.42
extrom version:1.13.121 wwe
i dont know man... mine is ok.
sandy,
if i understood u then ur phone keeps resetting. if that is the problem then i dont think updating ur ROM wil help. something is broken inside the phone. u will have to fix that broken part. hope this helps!!
May be i am too late to reply to ur query but anyways on the back side of your phone near the battery there is a small switch put a tape on it and your problem is solved
