RSU upgrades for Qtek 1010

I have upgraded to PPC2003 v 4.00.01 ENG from FTP..lycos.uk...and am very happy with the speed of the Qtek that has greatly improved. I have radio V. 3.19.01 that did not change with the upgrade ..Is there a better version of the Radio Stack?
If so where is the link? I use Qtek 1010 in Oman. ME

Hi,
my advice to you if your Radio is working fine with the upgrade dont change it.
Generaly the 3.19.01 was a good Radio version for QTEK when i upgraded to 3.23 i had problems in Lebanon. If ure device is working fine keep it like that.
:wink:

Hi,
Thanks for the advice @ Arzleb. I think its better to keep it going this way as its difficult to have a stuck QTEK with an improper Radio in it.
Its just that this version of Radio I feel has a falling signal strength!! Could be the OMANTEL GSM network too!!
Its too early to evaluate as I got 3.19.01 ver just a week ago
Thanks
Ravi Radh

Well Ravi i tried every RSU possible on the QTEK in order to track the signal problem which i also have in Lebanon. Currently i am using the o2 4.21 and i can assure u its the same as 3.19 & 3.23.
I think sometimes the signal bars arent always right! i will give an exemple sometimes the bars shows 1 or 0 and i could still receive a call. Dont always trust the bars but also that doesnt mean that the Signal is good and i dont think its the device's fault. U could blame the operator 50% and the device 50%.
Now what is happening with me is that the bars change very fast on the same Cell i mean they drop to 1 then go up to 4 very fast like crazy lights and also in places were the signal on other phones are full on my QTEK is 1 or 2.
Anyways as long as no one is telling you that we are calling you and ure phone is closed i think ure safe.
Salam bro

Hello,
does any one have an executable file with the 3.13 version?
Thx!

which rom version will suite the middle east

I have an sx56 originally working wiht AT&T. I flashed the rom with 4.05 and it works fine except for some system halts. Also the screen backlight sometimes goes off and never goes on again until I soft rest it.
I live in Egypt and use vodafone coverage. are there any updated roms to use. will the 4.11 4.16 or 4.21 work with me or not. formerly I was using ppc2002 and working fine, and now running 4.05 and still working but with minor problems, can I upgrade or what.

you havn't specified,but it looks like you are using Tmobile's radio stack and rom. I have tried several and came up with the best rom for egypt which is the Qtek RS and rom. if you need anything else contact me on 0122200666

Hi guys ... nice to see few egyptians here
I have a friend needs help. He got a SIM-locked T-mobile XDA with 32 MB RAM orginally loaded with ROM 3.14 and RSU 6.20 for T-mobile.
I managed to unlock his XDA and upgrade the ROM to 4.00.05 ENG. The problem is with the RSU ... I tried the O2 4.21 and Qtek 3.25 but still doesn't get Mobinil signal. I tried to change the band to 900/1800 and 900 only and still no signal (did not try Vodafone though).
Could there be any firm ware problem or I miss a minor actoin.
I would appreciate giving more details on your XDAs and the steps and ROM, RSU versions you used. My mobile is 012-3147866 or e-mail [email protected] ... thanks in advance.
Bye

yes you can upgrade to 4.00.16 and your bug will disappear, however there will still be some annoying stuff as the WM2003 is still a pre-release..but the 4.00.16 doen't bug me like the 4.05.
[/b]bisooo....as for you, not sure if I have good news...but try it on vodafone and tell me what is going on....

Does that mean u actually get vodafone signal ?? ... what RSU version are you using plz
Samer: Thanks for the reply anyway ... actually the XDA dosn't sense any network coverage (manual network selection). So I believe I 'm using the wrong RSU or its firmware is locked for T-mobile. You wrote in your signature that you still have RSU 6.18 ... does that work in Egypt ?!

bisooo,
don't jump to conclusions...first of all let me assure you that most Tmobiles and SimensSX65 and QTeck and ALL XDAs work in Egypt. I have had a couple of them, bought a good number for a couple of friends....they are all working fine. ofcourse unlocked...
So lets start by some simply question first, before I go on with those questions one very important question though did you by any chance while in 'calender' bootloader mode i.e. GSM options ...did you press ANY THING OTHER THAN THE 900 or THE 900/1800 BUTTON??
this is very important....
now.. for the questions:
1. tell me how you unlocked the device...
2. where you bought it from...
3. is it an 'A' model or a 'B' model.
other questions will follow, just plug me in with the headlines firs!..
Dont worry..

Samer,
1st thanks again for your thoughtfulness ... happy to tell you that I finally managed to let it work ... I installed T-mobile RSU 6.24 and it got the signal. I just handed it to my friend 10 minutes ago and he was sooo glade
one last question plz and this is for MY device. I heard lots of complains about ROM 4.00.16 and 4.00.21 ... did you find any value for them over the 4.00.11 one (new features, bugs fixed, ... etc)
thanks again

bisooo,
not sure as I upgraded from 4.05 so I havn't had the chance,, my opinion is as long as it's a prerelease we might as well wait a while and get something more dependable than what is in our hands...but from reviews around i think that the 4.11 is ok...
just curious, how did you unlocke your friends device? any method other than the manipulator?
Also, have you tried to put together a local car kit for the set... I am thinking of making one locally and wanting some advice on the topic..
take care...

Samer,
For unlocking, I upgraded the XDA first to ROM 3.17 from the kitchen ... when it starts, it asks u if you want to unlock then you say yes ... for my device as it had ROM 3.18 I copied the XDAunlock.exe to the device and ran from there.
For the car kit, I believe I saw a topic here talked about converting a cradle to a car kit ... it has all details with pics too!!. Search under the accessories forum.
Good luck ...

hi biso007,
hope I am not disturbing you...but finding someone from Egypt who knows about the device is good...
anyway ..I remeber you upgraded your friend's radio stack to 6.24 ! and rom 4.00.21 . Is he encountering any problems with SMS...I am having the weiredest bug ever with my upgraded rom. I receive SMS but can't send them. when changing the sim card to vodafone isntead..everything works perfect. tried all the tricks of sending from different places and excluding the international code from the message service number....etc. nothing is working..
I would like also to know if you have faced any problems while working around with installing different Radio versions for your friend's device?? did you encounter any difficulty there??
thanks a million, :?

Hello there;
I am very sorry not to reply to you earlier, but I had to travel immediately after my post and could not find the time there to get to the forum and see the replies.
I am very happy to hear from you, and to share each other's experiences about this great device.
I am still running the 4.05, still have the problems but I can live with it. I was considering to upgrade to .16 or 21, but decided to wait till we have a real release not a prerelease versions.
I am running radio version A.20.10, I use vodafone, and I had absolutely no problems with sms. I do not have experience with mobinil in this subject.
By the way I downloaded a midi player and tried to use midi files as ring tones to save ram space, but the sound is very poor. Does anybody know how to improve the sound of midi tones on the xda.
waiting for your replies............

Up to my information, the XDA MIDI player is not capable to play MIDI files that use more than 4 insturments. So, either to get tones in this specs, or if you have the knowledge you can use any MIDI editor and disable some tracks.
Good luck and Welcome back

I wonder how a smart phone running symbian or other operating systems with a total memeory of 4 MB, can play polyphonic and midi tones perfectly and the xda cannot ??
I used a midi editor to reduce the number of tracks, and even used a single track midis and the result is still poor. anymore ideas !!!

Upgrade from Wizard

Hey guys,
Long time reader, first time poster. Today my HTC Wizard (branded: T-Mobile Vario) finally broke down - it had white lines and stuff all over the screen every 2-3 mins and needed reboots before too but now it doesn't even turn on so I called up TM and asked for a upgrade but they said I wasn't allowed until April, I did try my luck and say I can extend contract and stuff but no joy So I ordered my HTC TyTN from expanSYS and looking to get it on Friday.
I have a two questions that I would like to know if anyone can help;
1) How does the TyTN compare to the Wizard?
2) What ROM should I use? (Network: T-Mobile) I want something very lightweight like the Molski.BIZ ROMS for the Wizard
Regards,
Ekin

Hey guys,
My TyTN is arriving tommorow and I've built up a small todo list (CIDUnlock, HardSPL, RadioUpgrade) but I still don't know what clean WM5 ROM to use. Please help me with this
Regards,
Ekin

Read read and read
I think you are talking abt WM6 (not WM5 as posted by you).
Back up your SPL/IPL. save a copy of your original rom/radio in case you need to downgrade and return for warranty (if that is possible)
Also know that whatever you do, you voided your warranty and you assumed all risks. Otherwise good luck and enjoy. Hermes are much faster than wizard with a faster CPU and allows HSDPA connection. (in some cases video conference if you have one that is not cingular 8525). All other features are similiar.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking of using WM5 (the old one) as my friend said WM6 was totally buggy and unstable - I installed it on my Wizard once and I missed alot of calls and stuff like that. If its now stable with no bugs, what ROM do you suggest (something minimalistic)?
Edit: I was looking at Black Dymond, CUSTEL and lvswCE5.2.1413_aku.3_Sleuth255Variant_v1.0

Take a peek here on the procedures for a safe upgrade dude:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462

I also have a wizard. Uses Faria WM 6 rom (or variants) and 2.19 Radio
I missed no calls Wizard has issues with their radio but that is another topic all together
WM6 from LVSW is most stable and is as good if not better than OEM roms.
If I am you , I would stick with LVSW, ELF or even Sleuth as they all have a base that is the most stable. Once you know you got a good rom, you can venture out to test others. If you start with a buggy one, then you will be disapointed.

WM6 is as stable as WM5.
As a matter of fact I had more issues with WM5 than I have had with WM6.

Thanks for the replies guys! Keep them coming, right now I'm thinking between Faria's SuperClean WM6 ROM and the lvswCE5.2.1413_aku.3_Sleuth255Variant_v1.0.

Finally decided on Elf v2.1, got my HTC TyTN and flashed it - working fine up to now.

i was thinking about upgrade it too, but i've read some issues (somewhere, i forgot where exactly) that upgrading the radio version to 1.15 may result that it can't hold gprs connection...

try radio 1.13.00
had that issue on my BA (the gprs), downgraded the radio stack, and is working so far.
about the micro, i had it too, but changed it with a new micro.

if you find it try radio 1.13.10, but only if you got problems with 1.13 and 1.15...

okay.... i'll try it.....
downloading.....
thanks in advance..

Calls not working very well

Hi,
I bougth a HTC cruise recently and I change the radio and also unlocked him just after.
My configuration is :
Rom : 1.28.406.2 FRE
Rom's Date : 03/05/08
Radio's Version : 1.64.08.21
protocole's Version :25.74.40.02H
And my calls are not working very well. The people I call don't heard me very well (but I do), it's really hard to call (calls failed), all this even if I have signal most of the time between 2/5 and 4/5.
I also think that my phone doesn't received very well the signal cause my friends have 5/5 when I have only 3/5.
Do you think it's an Hardware problème or a software (changing my ROM or radio can help)?
Thank

Not necessarily a ROM problem, however it can be a radio conflict. Try testing different radios and see which best fits your needs.

Ok i'll try that.
But the radio could be in conflict with which part ?
I'll tell you how its working. Thanks for the information.

PB RADIO
You have to flash a new ROM Radio called "Murata-1.58.25.14".
You can find the link in this forum.
I have had the same problem now the pda works fine.

@ Raph04
If u have still problems with calls after flashing murata radio, then u have serious problem on motherboard. And u have to send the pda to the service to replace the motherboard.
I had the same problem., didnt get 3G at all, and the persons didnt hear me well.
And as i see and can read here, is the polaris sooo crapy phone that its hard to believe. Many user have hardware problems.
Unbelievable
