PLEASE HELP! Problems after changing ROM - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

Please help, I am really desparate at this point. I just got today Qtek S200 in French. After reading most of the messages in this forum, I felt comfortable that I could change the language from French to English. First I installed Active Sync 4.1 in English. Then, I downloaded and ran Lokwiz.bat to unlock the CID. Next i ran CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe (ROM version 2 something) to change the ROM (again i downloaded the file from this site). During the installation everything seemed to go on fine with % sign increasing with time. Then, at the end, it said "Congratulations...." The sign went away on the computer and the PDA went blank. So, I proudly thought that everything was fine. THen the screen started blinking on and off and the red and blue lights of the phone started blinking as well.
Now, no matter what I do nothing works (e.g. hard and soft reset, etc.). Other than taking out the baterry nothing helps. Also, the computer is not recognizing that the phone is connected either.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you have seen something like this. I am afraid that i burned my PDA irreparably. Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much for replying to my plea. I was so hopeful but unfortunately what you suggested did not work. I pressed all these three things together and held it down but nothing happens, no color display .
Am I doing something wrong or do you have any other suggestions?

Hi, Unfortunately you have flashed Wizard instead of Prophet ROM. I did that when I first got my Dopod and could not find a way to fix it. After many desperate tries, I finally send it for service. I was fortunate that they replace the entire mother board (with different serial number) without charge. Looks like the wizard ROM kills the prophet. If someone or you can figure out how to recover from this without swapping the device, please let us know - I think there are many who would benefit from the experience.
My lesson learnt - only stick to prophet ROM for prophet device!!

I called up support and they told me that it is possible to do it if one has a software (does not need a special machine or anything), they just can't email me the software.
Any suggestions?

Swedish Qtek update out

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.
Peter
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...

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!

SPV M600 Keeps soft resetting and other issues...

Guys I recently purchased a brand new SPV M600 from ebay and when I say its new, trust me because it was completely sealed and no marks/scratches on the M600 plus all the wires/leads were sealed etc, and he even sent me the invoice from Orange stating the date of purchase, accidentally I think as it contained his home address and telephone number!
Now when I first turned it on and charged the battery etc, I had a little play with it and it all seemed fine. I took it to work with me that day and at work it started to act strange.
First it started by soft resetting itself while I was in the SETTINGS window just tweaking all the bits and bobs to my liking. Anyway it started up again and this time it seemed ok. I tried opening all the menus etc as I had done before but it didnt soft reset again which was a little relief!
It worked fine for the next 10-15 mins after which I put it away and started doing some work which is what I should've been doing in the first place!
I got home in the evening and sat in from of my PC and turned on the PPC and this time it started at the Splash Screen instead of coming out of stand by! Weird as I didnt reset the device and its on Button Lock so it couldn't have happened by accident whilst being in my pocket!
The only problem was though, this time it stayed in the splash screen and wouldnt go past that! I soft reset it again but still no luck!
So I then went for the kill and did a hard reset, not that I lost anything as I didnt have any information on there. After the hard reset, it goes past the splash screen on to the blue nice looking Windows 2005 screen but it stays stuck there!
Did a hard reset again and this time it worked but it crashed when it was installing the customisation tools! It needed a soft reset again! After that it seemed to work ok... only for a little while before it started all over again!
Now this was the original Orange Rom and I have no idea which one it was and I didnt care because it had to go!
I came here and found that our friend Jester was upto his old tricks again and had released a modified version of the Qtek Rom, so I went for it and installed it without any problems (except for his very original spash screen which scared the hell out of my little sister and I didnt find it very comforting either but soon had it changed with Jester's HTC Splash screen).
But unfortunately the problem still remains and the same thing keeps happening. It soft resets itself once in a while and when I do a hard reset it gets stuck in either the Splash Screen or at the next screen which is the Windows 2005 blue screen.
Its like trial and error really, when you guys want to hard reset your prophet all you have to do is do it once, but I have to keep trying at least 2-3 times.
In some cases I need to do a hard reset and then a soft reset soon after when it gets stuck in the Windows 2005 blue screen! And even then its not over because when it gets to the installation of the customisation software, theres a good chance it'll crash there and will need a soft reset!
I tried to install the original Qtek Rom, the one which Jester modified a little but it wouldnt work and I'm guessing I only have the CID lock to thank for that! Mines a G4
Any idea guys? I'm totally screwed here as I cant send it back to the guy I bought it from because I have changed the Rom and thats not good because he cant send it back to Orange to get a replacement! I wish I hadnt changed the Rom and just sent it back to him but I thought it was a software issue.
I'm not convinced its a software issue anymore though!
If you made it this far then I apologise for making this post too long (was longer but I had to to edit out like 1/4), and bloody hell is that the time!
Anything from anyone would be much appreciated.
All the best.
My friend you should try to format your phone and install new operating System...Similar problem happened to me (mine just freezed and I had to reset it) so the new OS is the solution of your problem...So when you do that,tell us if everything is ok..And one more thing---This little mobile device is THE BEST you'll ever get for that amount of money-so keep it and take care my friend...
Greetings!
Alix, thanks for your post. I'm not too sure about that because like I said, it came with the original Orange Rom and even then it was like this, and after upgrading to the latest Qtek Rom, the problem still continues. So somehow I dont think its the software. I mean I hope it is the software as thats an easy fix if I can somehow get my CID unlocked and right now thats not possible on G4 Roms, unless I'm wrong and falling behind?
I have a feeling its the hardware and if it is then I'm screwed!
Thanks for your reply and hope to hear from others soon.
Have you tried to replace the battery? some times the battery causes this kind of behavior when its not supplying enough power to the phone.
try to HR with the phone connected to a wall charger (not to pc) and see how it goes.
if it reboots OK, so probably its a battery issue.
Shayd that was good thinking and I tried it right away but unfortunately it wasnt the case. It still needed 3 tries... one hard reset followed by two soft resets before it went past the Splash Screen.
I've just about had enough with this thing!
Thanks nonetheless.

Stuck on a Garbled Splash Screen

As a new O2 xda exec user, I thought I should play safe and upgrade to latest ROM etc on the O2 web site. After a couple of false starts and after checking the excellent wiki advice, I got the thing to run through and complete the upgrade.
But on doing the final hard reset, I find myself with a completely garbled screen instead of the O2 splash screen. After a couple of seconds the 3 lines of text appear on the screen (the R, G and D numbers) but against the background 'snow' I can't read them. No response to keyboard or to 'random' pressing the screen. The screen eventually turns off after a few minutes but when switched back on remains with the same garbled screen as before.
Tried going through the whole process again but sadly got the same result.
Tried going into bootloader and doing a soft reset (as advised one of the many upgrade problem threads I've checked) but that also took me to the same garbled screen.
Can anyone help me out with this? I can't find anything quite like this on the Wiki or in any recent threads.
Should I try an alternative ROM? Stupid question, but is a Jasjar ROM OK on an O2 exec?
Hi - just thought I'd save people any wasted effort. This problem is now sorted.
It seems the O2 web site had linked to an out of date ROM which I downloaded and installed in blissful ignorance. Went back to the web site and found the link is now updated and gives the correct ROM version. This loaded and started up with no problems.
In case anyone reads this - although I didn't get any direct responses from the community I would still like to say a big thanks cos the Wiki and the responses to other threads are a real help. You guys have put a lot of effort into this and created a resource which is invaluable.
Top bananas!
lol...well i guess me and u were in the same boat my dude...i def did exactly da same thing u did..jus a new user getting the update and fu**ed my ish up...thanx 4 posting this tho it was some help*goes to download new update*
I cant even sync with my pc anymore i dont know wat to do
I'm no expert - as the screw up above amply demonstrates - but the failure to sync was one of the rage inducing steps I went thru too. Sometimes the PC would recognise the xda but other times it wouldn't. In my case, it was sorted by reading in another part of the forum how to get into bootloader mode by pressing the light and on/off button at the same time as using the stylus to press the soft reset. This should take you into boot loader - an apparently dead screen but if you look closely you should see 'Serial' at the top and 'v0.xx' at the bottom.
If you reconnect by USB cable to your PC the 'Serial' should change to 'USB' and in my case I was able to run the software on my PC to update the ROM.
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but hope this works for you. Otherwise check out the Wiki section (wiki.xda-developers.com) which has lots of good tips.
i fixed it i had jus installed a new rom

Dead telephone on Hermes but everything else works

I have a Hermes (Orange SPV 3100 but unlocked). The phone has stopped working but everything else is fine.
I've tried putting other sim cards into it, cleaned all the sim contacts etc with no success at all. As far as it's concerned, there is no valid connection. Phone and data connections don't work. All the Windows settings and programs run fine, it's just the phone that doesn't so I have a pda without a phone! I wasn't trying to flash a rom - the op system is all as original except for the unlock.
I don't think it's worth enough to pay for a professional repair so any suggestions for tracing and curing the problem and hints as to whether its likely to be a faulty connection, faulty parts or software problem?
Thanks.
I have the exact same phone, and similar problem. The difference is my phone is not completely unusable, it sometimes works for a while and sometimes doesnt.
I have just - 10 mins ago - flashed a new radio rom to see if it helps and so far (10 minutes!), so good. But I will need to leave it for a couple of days to see if it works properly.
Is there an "X" beside the signal icon? Also have you checked the Comm Manager and disable the phone and enable it again?
Ah well I didnt need to leave it for a couple of days, its not working again even with new radio rom.
Ive tried new o/s, new bootloader and new radio but still the same problem, nothing else to try really ?
(btw: Mine usually has an exclaimation mark next to signal strength.)
Carthief When did the problem first start occurring? Did you flash a radio/OS ROM and it started to happen, or did it just happen out of the blue?
Sorry I did not see this post...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562486
I don't know dude. Maybe one of the senior members can help out.

I will check tomorrow. I am using a different phone at the moment and have left the Hermes at the office.
Hi Shawn, yeah that post covers when my phones problem started - I hadnt flashed anything recently when it started messing up.
I've tried tonight;

But I didn't flash the patched radio.
Phone is working at the moment... I'll update if it is still working or not tomorrow, if its still working maybe Batxda could try it out as well

Update:

Phone worked all night, and this morning, but froze up this afternoon and needed rebooting. It's currently working ... but probably not for long! My battery is running out very fast as well.

Hi again. Yes, there is an "x" beside the signal icon (normally meaning that phone is turned off) and also beside the connectivity icon (two horiz arrows and a "x" meaning no active connection). Also, I've just noticed that both of those icons no longer respond to stylus taps. All the other icons do.
I've tried turning the phone on via Setup > Connections > Comms and Setup > Personal > phone. Neither work, in fact, they do not respond at all.
I haven't tried the cure that Carthief tried but then, I've never flashed any roms on this phone either. I am apprehensive about that because I haven't done it before so, if that's the solution, I would need to find a free evening and do lots of reading.
BTW, the unlocking was done ages ago professionally, not by me.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Maybe I missed it but I did not see any mention of your doing a Hard Reset. (I assume you have tried soft resets) In general if the problem persists after this it rules out most software issues. I also think it's worth a try because of your comment about the icon being unresponsive.

I had done a hard reset but, just to be sure, I've just done it again. After the first it locked up at the password screen so I did a few more. Next, I let the Orange config run through. With the third, I removed the battery before Orange it did its thing. Both the same - no active phone but no lock-up either.
Icons on top bar still not active and x's against them.
When I go to settings > Personal > Comms, the phone icon is highlighted and appears to be "on" (no "x") but the top bar icons still show that it isn't. When the comms phone icon is clicked, the cross appears and the phone is, presumably, turned off and can't be turned on again.
When I go to settings > Personal > Phone, it says that the phone is off, would I like to turn it on. Click yes but it doesn't work.
BTW, I'm using an O2 sim card which works perfectly in a NIKI (touch dual).
I hope this is a software not hardware problem. Is there any point in flashing a new radio or complete windows rom? If so, which one would you recommend (it's a minefield for one of little brain)
Many thanks.
B
I did think you might already have tried a hard reset. In general that tends to point towards hardware, BUT corruption of the ROMs can occur. Unfortunately that is not my area of expertise. Hopefully someone will recommend something here. You could always look on http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/ making sure you have Hardspl installed.

Hi all, my phone is still not working completely but it does seem to be staying alive for longer periods now.
I have just downloaded the latest (from Oct. 2007) software upgrade from Orange for the Hermes - I think it is windows mobile 5, not sure yet. I cant install it tonight but Im going to try that tommorow.
I downloaded the Orange update but it wouldn't load on my phone. all I got was an error message which said it was the wrong rom for the phone. I don't know whether that's because I've had it unlocked or maybe my rom is newer than the update. anyway, I'm no further forward.
I've just noticed that, in Settings > Device Information, it is blank against the radio version and the Protocol version and that there is no IMEI listed either. I guess that means the radio is corrupted so I will try installing a new one. It is op version 14.123.1.614 and ROM version 1.23.61.4. Which radio is recommended.
What does the missing IMEI number mean or is that also connected with the missing radio?
B
Hi Batxda, I dont know which radio to recommend, mine is Radio version: 1.47.30.10 and ROM version: 3.54.255.3
My phone has now been working for over 24hrs, battery has stayed charged as well... so I haven't installed the Orange rom yet.
I bought a new phone having pretty much given up on this one... and now it seems to be working again!
Nope. Not working. Ran for over 48hrs but locked/froze up today with calls going straight to answerphone, battery drained from 70% to 20% in about two hours as well!
My last attempt is going to be running the phone with no memory card in, and no sim card with phone disabled. Will report back.
Have you had any luck Batxda ?
Radio flashes all lock up - help please

Sorry to hear that. I've had different but similarly unsuccessful times. I hope your experiment goes well.
I flashed with HardSPL (SPL-2.10.Olipro) then tried to flash a Radio.
1st I tried v 1.11.00.00 running from the PC. It froze so I had to unplug it. That messed everything up and I ended up with it stuck on the bootloader screen (Type 2a) so I used mtty and found that command "set 16 0" worked so I could return to WM5.
2nd I tried to flash radio v 1.47.00.10 from the SD card. It started OK, got to about 20% and stopped. That was at 11:15. Its now 13:30, 2.25 hours later and it hasn't moved in that time. I am going to have to stop it but I'm sure it will end up corrupted again.
H E L P anybody, how can I flash a radio to this damned thing?
BTW, it is a Hermes 100.
B
Batxda when I reflashed a new radio I just followed the guide here:
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=26
It sounds like you've gone through the same procedure as me so you've probably already followed that guide...
I don't know what to suggest, but if it was me, and the radio wouldn't flash, I would (being a bit dim ) try it a few more times until I was exhausted...
I've just rebooted mine to see if I could provoke it to do anything with no sim/memory cards in. It gets to the password entry screen and tells me I've entered the wrong password but I know its the right password !! Does anyone know where/how these phones store the password ?

Batxda when I reflashed a new radio I just followed the guide here:

It sounds like you've gone through the same procedure as me so you've probably already followed that guide...

I have a AT&T 8525 Hermes that was having No GSM issues.
I'm not sure if both of you seen the No GSM message when booting the phone (when it was bootable) & if you did, here's what I did to get the phone working again.
I removed the battery & pressed hard against the back stainless steel plate especially around the area near the battery contacts. It worked for mine & the No GSM issue would go away. If it happened again, then I repeat the same procedure & it works again.
My conclusion is that the GSM chip has broken or loose contacts with the motherboard so as long as the contacts is good, that keeps the radio working. BTW, this phone was dropped before & after that, this issue started happening.
Lastly, I'm not sure if your issue is really with the password...that's just a symptom of something else that is wrong with the system...not sure if it's entirely software or perhaps hardware or combination of both.

No, I haven't seen that message.
Since the last post, I've tried to flash various radio roms, two WM6 roms and what XDA says is the original WM5 Orange SVP M3100 rom for my phone (v slightly different version number though). All of them hang at around 11% or give an error message. I've ended up with a Dopod start screen (from one of the WM6 attempts) and a funny mixture of colours but I can still start Windows so I've got a pda with no phone access.
Taking your message on board, I'm starting to think that there is a hardware fault preventing the radio from being recognised. That is unless there is something fundamental that, being a n00b at this, I'm not doing. I've put Hard SPL on the phone, flashed roms and failed, reset it with MTTY (set 16 0) and used a variety of radio and main roms. Is there anything else I should have done?
I'm about to give up and see what it's value is and then see if I can get a hardware repair (if it's worth it). Otherwise, I've heard that some fetes have a throw the mobile competition ......... !!!!!!

[Q] HTC Universal PU10 Orange SPV M5000 completely dead

A few weeks ago I purchased an Orange SPV M5000 (HTC Universal) from a company in the UK (I'm South African). It was running perfectly and I was quite happy with the windows mobile 5.0, but I wanted to be able to run Whatsapp on it, so I tried to upgrade it to windows mobile 6.5, but as I was trying to upgrade it using the suggested roms and programs on this website and it's now completely dead. Before it would show "serial" and "version" on the screen, just the back light was off, I managed to fix it when is that mode following advice from your community by merely running the program "nuetty" and reset the device, both hard and soft. It was running perfectly even though I messed it up, but now I can't even get my Windows 7 starter edition to even recognize the phone when I plug it in as a usb. It says "USB device not recognized" and nothing I do can get recognized or even turn the phone on.
I love the phone and I'm a film maker and playwright and I'm supposed to be in contact with a few producers about having my work shot and filmed, but alas since I broke the phone (it seems) I can't get in contact with them, and that's bad news.
Please anyone please I am so desperate, what do I do? It's not a hardware error I'm certain, but here's what happened: I downloaded a few roms I expected would work, but none did. When I would run them my Mobile Device Centre just exits and though my phone is connected. via usb it just can't be picked up by the Device Center. It seems as though I wiped everything from the phone, not just the data, but the OS and everything, I imagine because the screen is completely blank (not even serial written on it) and resetting does nothing. This at least is my theory. I hope I'm wrong.
I am so desperate, please guys help me! There's no place I can take my phone to to repair it where I live, so I need your professional, and kind help. Please save me guys!

Hi I'm relatively new to flashing etc etc and have just managed to resurrect one of my HP6915 which locked after an attempted WM6 upgrade.
I used "Uni_Exitbootloader" perhaps this will bring yours back to life, also try another OS perhaps XP as w7/Vista are a little fussy about port release/control i believe.
Also which rom/s have you attempted to flash ? i have an SPV 5000 lying about some where if i can find it ill attempt one of your upgrades.
Good Luck
