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.
I have sucessfuly Upgraded my Qtek 1010 with WM 2003 4.01.16 by Bootloader method Thanks to Biso007 for his help.But now when Qtek turns off after 3mins It does not switch on even after pressing Power Button i tied several times.Now i have to do Reset Everytime or uncheck the box for turning off the device.
Whats wrong what to do I miss calls now.
Can i reinstall the same ROM or any other?
Please help me to slove this issue
Thanks
using the sd upgrade mode you can upgrade downgrade sidegrade to what ever rom you want older newer or the same .......
I still recommend using 4.01.00 ROM
thanks Biso007.I want to that ROM 4.01.00 eng beta can be installed.I could not find without beta.I want install that ROM kitchn its beta.Pls help
i got mine from tmobile and pulled out the nbf file
if the latest from tmobile have a later rom then 4.01 then i used the beta
it was a nice rom
Sloved the Problem!!!
Guys!!
Dont ever add KSE True Fax while cooking ROM 4.01.16.KSE Truefax will make your device sleep and make lifetime Resoft to wake-up.
Hello everyone,
I have on order a o2 xda neo, I was told by the salesman that
the manual and os were in english.
I have now found out that the neo is a german version of the
i mate jamin. I feel very stupid.
What does this mean in real life terms? Will it have a german
interface that I can't read? will I have to flash the os?
anyone?
thanks,
Chance
O2 XDA Neo
Hi.
I have O2 XDA Neo too, it's one week now. It's from Germany so everything was completely german. I flashed the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip from here, it's english version.
But first, try to search for english localization of WM5. I you won't find it then flash the new ROM. The problem is, there is no solution to go back to O2 German ROM nowadays for IPL, SPL version 2.15.0001. You will surely get the new version. But in month or two, there will be tool to unlock the phone to be able to flash lower versions of ROMs. Read the forum, it's priceless source of information.
Thank you Median for your reply, I have heard many horror
stories about flashing ROM,but if I have to I will, So what your saying is
the ROM on the OS is different from the WM5 and that I have to flash both.
I appreciateyou taking the trouble to answer me.
chance
The file is the Dopod's ROM, it's newer version then O2's and includes english WM5. Flashing was abslolutely no problem on my Neo. It takes about 10-15 mins to flash. Some say 30 mins, but for me it was quick. And the best thing you can do when flashing ROM - don't watch it, it doesn't like it. You know, it's intimate time for the device

1) Do you have to CID unlock your Prophet before flashing to the Dopod Rom?
2) What was your SPL / IPL prior to flashing?
3) Does flashing change your SPL / IPL?
4) I have Orange SPV M600 with IPL 2.10.0001 / SPL 2.10.0001 and someone told me that i need to CID unlock first to be able to flash ROMs.
Is this true?
5) Also i do not see the M600 original ROM available for download, how do i go back to orange ROM if need be? Will it be possible if orange made their ROM available for download?
Pls help.
I've just flashed my O2 Neo bought in Germany, ver. 2.09.0001. I used the ROM available in the forum,
RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
and it worked FINE. GREAT! I bought the telephone unlocked in Germany from O2, didn't needed to unlock CID. My GSM card from my brazil operator worked fine. Wifi too.
Thanks, I will try the Portuguese ROM now.
I have a question, if I flash the O2 neo to english version, the home-zone function will be lost or not?
It will be Lost but u can install the homezone needed files from the ext.rom afterwards. These Files should be available on the ftp Server.
AND:
I did also upgrade my German O2-XDA NEO to the mentioned Dopod rom - And you can also go back to the (older) Neo Rom later.
I do not know why but it is possible to downgrade from Dopod to the newest O2 rom, maybe because both are 2.15.x.x.?!
Hi guys,
I have upgraded succesfully my QTek 9090 BA to WM6 following the wiki, have some issues with WiFi and would like to upgrade my ROM...I guess...I'm new on this PDA world so still confused with terms.
I'm following the Wiki and got stuck here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...0.ROMx20.thatx20.willx20.workx20.forx20.mex3f.
My Device ID returns only:
P H 2 0 B W W E AT%CID? 5 . 6 0 . 0 0 1.12.00 % 4
So for what I understand:
MOdel PH20B
Lang: WWE (English)
Operator: AT%CID?
Rom Version: 5.60.00
Extended Rom version: 1.12.00
Radio Version: 4
Is this correct?
If so, I don't understand if this: BA_WWE_BP_12200_169_10602_SHIP.exe would be good for me...
Can you please help?
Thanks!
The Devicedata file was need in the old days (WM2003).
Now on WM6 (and WM5) the file does not matter or make much sence.
BA_WWE_BP_12200_169_10602_SHIP.exe
This is a 2003 rom with the rom vesion of 1.22 (making it old even for WM2003 as 1.4 was the last I can remember), the Radio is 1.602 (which is even older than your 1.12 (1.15 is the current one))
Best bet for you is the WM6 rom and up your radio to 1.15 (wiki will tell you how).
Hope that helps
Hi! and really thanks! It confuses me how 1.6 can be older than 1.15...?? Anyway, I updated to Radio rom 1.15, however reading more I found that it has nothing to do with WiFi...
Now, I seems to be understanding more and more about the Roms, extendend roms and radio roms with TypeI and II.
I have been looking at the FTP site and what I still need to understand is what Rom to use...how do you difference those codes? I'm using rar 20226...is this ok? Any newer ROM or more stable?
And what defines the WiFi driver? The ROM itself? I have the problem that my WiFi signal is very poor...
Thanks again
There are a few thiings that are wrong with the BA as it is end of life and if it was not for XDA-Devlopers it would be dead.
Wifi has its issues there is a work around and that has something to do with the way you start it. (to be honest I can't remember what you have to do but search will help)
Bluetooth is the other know issue, if you don't want to make friends then the best way to do this is post a "My Bluetooth does not work thread". That a low post count will get you flammed at big time.
The Type I and type II roms were based on the format of the roms and the tools we used about 3 years ago. Some smart guy worked out you could bypass this whole porcess (the checking of the country code) by using a flash program form some other HTC device.
So by the time WM5 came out then the "on id exe" solved that issue and we have been using it ever since.
The radio you talking about is 1.06, if you want to look at some of the roms we had found and posted on the FTP (unitll M$ got us to close it) then try this link.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Versions
Extra rom was a carrier based issue (wiki has a whole section on it) however WM5 and WM6 did not use the same system so the space was reused for the rom (is one of the steps in the upgrade process).
As for the best rom, this is up to you.
Xplode used be active and now its Sun_dream.
Both of these guys know there stuff and have my Full respect.
Have fun
Hello! I want to upgrade my Qtek 9100 with the latest ROM version. I have the official Qtek ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE, IPL/SPL 2.17, Radio 02.07.10 and AKU 2.0. Where can I find the latest official Qtek ROM?
How does the IPL/SPL influence 9100's performance or stability? I have found IPL/SPL version 3.08. Can I install IPL/SPL 3.08 separately from ROM version? Can I damage the Qtek?
And the most important thing: I want the latest official AKU installed on my Qtek. Can it be installed separately from ROM? Where can I find it? If it can't be installed separately, please help me to find the latest official Qtek 9100 ROM packed with the latest official AKU version.
One more question: Is the radio version a good one? Is there a better version? Can this be installed separately?
I think that is best for PDA that AKU, IPL/SPL and radio to be installed with ROM, not separately. Is that true?
Thank you very much!
Look at you men!!!
are you insane?
Jajajaj read men!
but as I am very good person I will tell you where you need to read ok?
First!!!!
Where can I find the latest official Qtek ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i think you were found the 3.08 is good but is not recomended yet.... ok.
Second!!!!
How does the IPL/SPL influence 9100's performance or stability?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It don't influence in nothing my men! nothing... why... because AKU (Actualization Kit Update) was just for wm5 ok? its like you wanna see if XP SP3 works well with your new Windows Vista Ultimate edition...
But you need to read the tutorial first to know how to downgrade first to1.01 then unlock, then upgrade to 2.XX not 3.08 ok?, then to a new WM6.1 rom ok...
Third!!!!
I have found IPL/SPL version 3.08. Can I install IPL/SPL 3.08 separately from ROM version?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok you found the 3.08... yes you can but is more important ask... what chipset do you have? G3 or G4? please provide us with this info first... i saw you have 2.12. bal bla bla so is a G3 but confirm cause some people said I have IPL SPL 2.17 and NOT they have 2.17.0001 (G4) and they has a bricked phone... so the only way to upgrade or change the IPL or SPL is flashing an Original ROM maded by your carrier and for your chipset ok? well... so the answer for this question is NO men!
Fourth!!!!
Can I damage the Qtek?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes the IPL and SPL changing system is the problem for all thats why people bricks their phones so please dont use it cause it wont lets you perform speed or something ok? AKU's was History Now! the world of WinMobile rules the 6.1 with .Net compact 3.5
Fifth!!!!
Can it be installed separately from ROM? Where can I find it? If it can't be installed separately, please help me to find the latest official Qtek 9100 ROM packed with the latest official AKU version.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No is not the most impoprtant question is the same but all in one hahahaha
No you cant upgrade separately... aku is history so dont try to upgrade stay in Aku 2.XX after your unlock process ofcourse and read a lot men you need to read a lot!
Oh sorry i forget something... you have the last the 3.08 AKU 3 (3.08)
The AKU2 comes with A2DP stereo sound bluetooth via Headsets
The AKU3 comes with A2DP and Direct Push tecnologies... so... they never works in WM6 or 6.1 why? cause it already have it by default....
Hope it answers all your question and please men I cant tell you where to go if goes to G3 tutorial for unlock or G4 hardSPL cause you dont have read to fill your signature with your info so...
Be cool men and Good luck we are here to support!!!!
No, I haven't found 3.08 ROM. It's only IPL/SPL 3.08. I have found T-Mobile 2.26 and I don't know if it's good or not. Does T-Mobile ROM differs from Qtek ROM? Thanks!
So...
So... what do you mean with this...
I have found IPL/SPL version 3.08. Can I install IPL/SPL 3.08 separately from ROM version?
Click to expand...

The IPL and SPL cant be found separately men!
where is the one you found post the link please...
I have found T-Mobile 2.26 and I don't know if it's good or not. Does T-Mobile ROM differs from Qtek ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Men!!!
With the Original ROM T-mobile 2.26 you will have the 2.26 IPL and SPL...
And with the Original ROM T-mobile 3.08 you will have the 3.08 IPL and SPL...
This components arent separately.... Never!
It diffiers from Qtek in many things like... some apps... Splash screens.... Configurations... and many little things.
Here all recomends to Use the T-mobile Rom 2.26 to Upgrade after the unlock process cause is the best Original BASE rom ( is the same but is highly recomended that after unlocks the CID and SIM use the IPL and SPL 2.26)
I have found the 3.08 IPL/SPL in the unlocking thread...I'l give you the link latter because I am in a hurry.
If I want to flash the T-mobile 2.26 over Qtek's 2.17, I have to go back to 1.05 ROM and CID unlock, or I have to install the 2.26 over 2.17?
How about with battery life in T-Mobile 2.26 when using wireless and bluetooth? When using only GSM, the battery drains fast?
Thank you very much!
I think here...
Here is your link... so
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311027
Whatever...
You are on qteks original 2.17 is it truth?
So... first of all downgrade to 1.05 (you dont need to upgrade to SPL 2.26)and do the unlocking process, if everything is ok...
second... upgrade to 2.26... then your favorite Coocked Rom by whoever you want ok?
third... everytime you want to upgrade or change your rom is highly recomended to flash first an Original ROM qtek 2.17... Tmobile 2.26 or 3.08 then your new Rom coocked ok?
You can change for every Original to Custom and viceversa now, and you dont need to downgrade again to 1.XX again cause its unlocked forever.
Hope it respeonds your doubts... The issue on many ROMs for this kind of things dont be the same on Original ROMS (I didn see issues on originals, well maybe the speed and performance), and many chefs recomends Three steps to upgrade if you experiments this batt drain issue:
1.-Before the NEW rom, Downgrade to any original
2.-Be sure your Batt is FULL I mean (100%)
3.-Let your device synchronize fully when it starts after an upgrade ( I mean dont unplug at the end of upgrade procedure)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
God damn ****!!!!!
Men wait a minute you are G4!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You dont need to do this unlocking proces ok?
it will be brick your device
Your device is G4!!!!!!!!!!
You need to go to G4 forum and perform the HardSPL Patch ask there....
Well my prays was listening hahahahaha
Because you write your info on your signature we avoid to brick your device
forget all this ****n thread and start again asking on G4 forum please god damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a G3 device and I have CID unlocked my phone before, when I upgraded from Button 1.5.4.2 to Qtek 2.17 (I have followed the steps in the upgrading "manual" from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435). So, I think I don't need to go back to 1.05, unlock and then install 2.26. All I have to do is simply to upgrade T-Mobile 2.26 over Qtek 2.17 with RUU utility.
Now, I don't know how T-mobile 2.26 will influence my phone's settings regarding that I live in Romania and I am a Cosmote mobile network user, not T-Mobile. I have seen on a web site that you can not connect to Wi-Fi hot-spot if the hot-spot isn't from T-Mobile. Is T-Mobile ROM 2.26 restricting the phone's settings and the choice to freely connect to wireless hotspot or Cosmote GPRS and MMS, Orange EDGE and MMS. Can I add new SMS, MMS or GPRS/EDGE settings? Or they force you to use their settings and data connections?
Thank you very much!
So xtrange
The IPL and SPL you have on your signature are for a G4.
No it is recognized by the SIM Card... i mean the sms and cellphone conections but mms gprs and other things yes... you need the configurations separately...
So T-Mobile ROM will work OK with Cosmote network... But does T-Mobile ROM restricts any of the device's function? Can I use all it's function freely (wi-fi, bluetooth, irda -I'm asking you this because I have played with an HTC Prophet from T-Mobile that wasn't wi-fi enabled)? Can I install all kind of programs? Do you know anything about battery life?
In a previous post, you said that after CID Unlock it is recomended to use IPL/SPL 2.26. Can you, please, tell me why?
About G3/G4 chip: when I have verified chip version on SYSTEM-DEVICE INFO it showed M-System G3. Now It only show M-System without the G3. Don't know why...
Thank you very much for your help!

IPL/SPL: 2.17.0000
These are G3 Bootloaders,if it was 2.17.0001,then it wud have been a G4,therefore,your device is a G3 phone.nothing to worry about.
Now,you can flash any official roms to it as all the officiall roms like Qtek,t-mobile Cingular or O2 are basically the same roms provided by the Microsoft,they have the same Base Roms,but just all the vendors add up their own stuff to it.Like Splash screens,programs/applications and network/gprs settings.Apart from these ,there is no major difference in any Official rom from all the vendors.
Yes! Bootloaders(IPL/SPL)/Radio Roms can be flashed separately or within by a Rom flash.
Downgrading to IPL/SPL 1.xx is only needed if you want to CID unlock the phone for upgrading to any wm6 or wm6.1 rom,as no official wm6 rom is provided by any vendor.So its only possible to upgrade to wm6 or 6.1 latest rom through custom build roms and for that its required to get the phone CID unlocked
After getting the phone CID unlocked,its prefered to upgrade to T-mobile 2.26 coz its a proven stable base rom,but you can also upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx,required for upgrading to wm6 by flashing any other official Aku (Adaptation Kit Update) 2.xx rom.
Upgrading to IPL/SPL 3.08 will just give you a slightly better boot up timings,which is hardly noticeable and nothing else,so if you are at 2.xx,its more preferred.IPL/SPL 3.08 sometimes creates problems afterwards if you have to downgrade.
Its also not necessary to reflash back to official ro each time before flashing a new rom,but only recommended,to clear the Extended_Rom corruption and have a clean base,I have never reflashed any official rom before flashing any new rom,but then thats me!
Thanks men!!!
Im getting worried but... why does the Bootloader Shows the four zeros... on my device it never shows the zeros.
In 2.17.0000
I think he use the WST isnt it? not seing the bootloaders...
I have finally installed T-Mobile 3.08. It has interesting features, but I don't like the dialing pad and that when I start Internet Explorer, the phone asks if I want to connect to T-Mobile GPRS. I'm 60% with the Qtek 2.27 and 40% with T-Mobile 3.08. I'll wait to see the battery life compared with Qtek ROM and the power consumption when using wireless. I'll make a decision in weekend.
Oh, forgot to ask about WM6. Will the phone be faster or slower? What are the main differences from WM5? Is there an official WM6 ROM?
Thank you very much!
It seems that qtek's wi-fi is connecting continously, without establishing a connection. It show "connecting" all the time.
Today I have installed Qtek 2.17 ROM. I like it more than T-Mobile 3.08.
