Hi all,
I have tried to read and understand how to upgrade my PocketPC phone, but unfortunately I am still confused:
I have non branded Microsoft "qtek" phone modelW10B1 (GSM 900/1900) with
ROM VERSION: 3.14.P6 ENG
ROM DATE: 09/26/02
Radio version: 6.18
Protocol version 324e4
Where to find the correct upgrade files?
or can someone kindly send them to me?
I would appreciate ANY help in this matter...
All the best,
Ampi
ROM is not the point. You can cook your ROM from the kitchen here. But the radio stack is so critical since you are using 900/1900. You better get the last update from your network provider or at least ask some one who's using the same network.
i know that this is old stuff but i cant find what i need (i am new at this) sorry!
from what i found i have a wallaby (pw10b1) that i want to unlock. it was purchased from tmobile usa and my account with them has been closed for over a year. i am with cingular and want to use this device. i downloaded xdaunlock.exe loaded it using hotsync, clicked on it and get "error getting unlock code" here is what i have:
rom version: 3.14.40 eng
rom date: 11/26/02
radio version 6.18
protocol version: 324e4
what do i need to do to unlock this thing?
You need a newer ROM including the wmodem function.
Easiest was is downloading XDA Special Edition ROM 1.2 and install it on your device.
This ROM is based on 3.17.03 includes WModem, the unlock-tool and some other nice applications....

Thank you for the info. I am downloading it now.
I recently got an i-mate JasJar, and I found intriguing that:
a) It didn't came with any antivirus or skype installed
b) The smart dialling option doesn't work
By browsing the forums, I've found out aht these programs are in fact in the "ExtRom"
I checked my device information under settings, and t my surprise there is nothing under "extROM version" ???
I checked under at www.clubimate.com and the last firmware is, in fact, the same that I have. But the on on their website seem to have a "extROM".
Here is what I currently have:
ROM version: 1.30.76 WWE
ROM date: 02/20/06
Radio version: 1.09.00
Protocol version: 42.42.P8
ExtROM version: <this is blank>
Here is what is available for download at clubimate.com
Rom version: 1.30.76
Radio version: 1.09.00
ExtROM version: 1.30.164
Could someone suggest me what to do? Did someone here had the same problem that I have? It kinda bugs me not to have the smart dialing option and other things that were supopsed to come built-in.
Thanks for the help,
Pedro
Wow... 45 views and no answer... hummm... :?
I sorted out my problem by downloading the latest firmware from i-mate. For some reason, although I had all the latest WWE, Radio Firmware, etc. My ExtROM was empty (?!).
By upgrading the firmware I got all back, and my "smart dialing" now works, I have the Backgammon game, skype (although I uninstalled it in order to install the newer version), the Antivirus (although I uninstalled it because I find it useless), etc.
ok so i too have had the message
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again."

but after alot of experimenting i have found a solution. i thought i'd post this to help anyone else out with the same problem!
I bought an M600 on orange PAYG however on inserting my orange contract sim i can use the phone but cannot send SMS messages or adjust phone settings, if i attempt to all i get is the message above.
having spoken to orange about this several times it turns out to be a sim compatibility issue. orange however do not support sim swapping all they can do is send out sims compatible with the handset they sent you! i.e the N73 i got on upgrade.
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.
once unlocked i backed up the shipped rom to SD as described in the prophet WIKI (just in case i needed to restore it to orange settings) and then upgraded the rom.
i tried several shipped roms and eventually found this rom the
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_?QtekWWE_Ship.exe

to not only work but also be in english. its a great rom, very basic without all the junk orange supply as standard
I don't really know why this has solved my problem i think its something to do with the radio rom but whatever it is it works perfectly!
below is my phones new info, if someone with the orange Rom could post the same I'd be interested to compare the versions.
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
I hope this helps someone out there!
for discussion purposes
That sounds weird why it works like that since my understanding of unlocking CID was merely so that one could install different ROMs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong here.

it is!!!! i needed to update the rom to get it to work! as above i stated that i changed from the orange rom to the qtek one, hence CID needs to be unlocked
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.

Afaik, if you remove IPL/SPL from the ROM (There should be tutorials somewhere around here on how to do it) you don't have to CID unlock your phone.
I would really like to try this! I am always getting the same error so often whenever I send a new sms. I have an i-mate JAMin, prophet touch X ipl&spl 2.20, gsm 2.69. I can't find the ROM you're talking about in the xda-developer's ftp. Can you please upload it? Thank you so much!
its on the wiki page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs
Okay If I installed this, do I have to reinstall wm6 and then my current ROM again(Prophet Touch X)?
yes i expect so, i'm no expert, thats just the way i solved the problem on mine!
i think it has to do with the radio rom version
You can update the radio ROM without having to change the normal ROM.

I am currently using v2.69. Does it mean I have to downgrade or test other versions? How about you? What version are you using guys?
hey as i stated, i'm not entirely sure what eaxctly it was that the replacement rom fixed but it did fix it!
Are you guys using orange M600s? whats your rom info?
mine was:
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
unfortunately i had my phone stolen so i can't help much more than that.
Okay I have fixed mine. I tried all versions but only version 2.30.21 of Radio ROM only fixed my problem. Thanks guys for all the help.

I had the same issues, updated my M600 to the above ROM and it now works perfectly
wow - does that mean you guys are using a 3g sim in a orange m600??
if so - what is a radio rom (and what does it replace?)
can you run these radio roms with wm6.1? or does it mean going back to 5?
sorry for all the questions i am despirate to get my phone working!!
I have a similar problem, going to try the rom you recommended but thought I'd post my pre-rom stats.

Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114

Hi all
Just been given a Qtek S200 and I'm looking to get the latest and greatest version of Windows Mobile on there. Nothing fancy. A clean version with all basic hardware functions working, maybe a media player too.
Thing is, after browsing the wiki, i'm still not sure where to begin. The device has always had a Telfort NL sim card in it but I don't know if its locked or not.
ROM version: 2.9.7.24 WWE
ROM date: 2/9/06
Radio version: 07.07.20
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.9.7.106
Device info: OMAP950 / 195mhz / Ram 64mb / Flash 128mb
IPL: 2.09
SPL: 2.09.0000
GSM: 02.07.20
OS: 2.9.7.24
So it appears that my phone is a G3 version, but do I need to CID unlock it? and how can I tell if i need to sim unlock it? Aside from that I don't know what a Hard/SoftSPL is/means.
There doesnt seem to be a recent guide that covers start to finish... I'll just post this now and carry on reading tho. I'm not an idiot but there is quite a lot of information to digest. I've come from the world of Nokia's and iPhones and not had a Windows Mobile device before...
So theres usually a list of files I need and steps I need to take. I've seen these packages on the forum here but I don't know what to do with them. More reading...

you are right keep on reading until you will realize the pros and cons of flashing.. though there are lots of pros ( if you do it right ) and cons ( if you do it wrongly )
i have a G3 devices too but i havent CID unlock them i just jumped into the world of flashing without knowing what CID unlock means ( luckily my prophet isnt CID locked )
i would be glad to provide you infos if you will be ready to start flashing just send me a pm... im always on this forum 24/7 though im not familiar with CID unlock i think thats what you need to be sure of if your device needs this..
there are lots of things to read and welcome to the world of PROPHETS!
