T-Mobiles SDA Business / REQ: QTEK-ROM GER

Hey folks,
have an T-Mobile SDA Business (the black one) and I have to update the ROM (don't ask why), so I thought about updating it to the QTEK-ROM for the corresponding device without any branding as my T-Mobile has.
My question is: where can I find one and which is the HTC Codename for the device? Is it the HTC Typhoon? English or german ROM doesn't matter, because there's also an official T-Mobile ROM for later setting it back to german before I'll sell it (if ever). I think that even in the english Version I can switch the T9-language to German, right?
I also have an MDA Pro with QTEK ROM which works better than T-Mobile ROM for me.
I've searched the XDA-dev-FTP but didn't find anything.
Any information would be great.
Regards,
NiTeSHiFT

The SDA Business is known as the HTC Feeler, but often known as a variant of the HTC Typhoon. The Typhoon and the Feeler use different keyboard drivers so you must be careful.
I'm afraid I don't know where the ROM is.

Thanks for the info about the HTC Feeler. Didn't knew that. I knew only the HTC Typhoon, found and installed that ROM and found out that 2 of my Keys didn't work the way they should ;-) Actually the didn't work at all.
So I flashed the new german T-Mobile ROM and have to use that one.
But actually I want to buy a QTEK 8310 but have to chek if I get my SDA Business repaired. The lower right key doesn't work anymore, but I didn't do anything. Hope the warranty catches up.

If you want to, you can try upgrading your SDA Business with the latest German ROM from T-Mobile here: https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_sda.htm
This should fix your button problem. Good luck!

Thanks for the hint, but as I mentioned in the posting above, I flashed the QTEK, found out, that it didn't work how it should and flashed back the newest T-Mobile ROM in German.
"So I flashed the new german T-Mobile ROM and have to use that one. "
Thanks anyways

So you're saying that you can't get the phone to ActiveSync with Windows? I'm having the same problem at the moment and I'm looking at whether it is possible to flash an image from a mini-SD card. If you find anything about this please do let me know.

German Rom dump for bricked HTC P3300 (No branding)

Hello all.
Can anyone help me with a step by step howto dump a HTC P3300.
I have a HTC P3300 Original German and possible i can make a dump and so help a lot of people that have a problem after the update to WM6 English without CID unlock.
The bricked phone can only be flashed with a original German Rom.
I self, bricked my phone 2 weeks ago with the update wm5 German to wm6 English without CID Unlock.
My wife have the same phone with the original WM5 German Rom and....i need help to make a *.nbf, only these rom can be flashed in bootload mode.
Otherwise you (and i) must send your phone to HTC customer care center for repair. htc dont gibt a copy from the german rom.
See email from HTC customer care center:
Dear Sir
Thank you for getting in contact with HTC regarding your problem. At this time we are not able to give you a replacement rom for you phone as the rom licence is produced for one phone. the options available to you are that you can book your phone in for repair (details given below) or you could wait for the new Windows Mobile 6 update which will be available later this month. For further information on our Windows Mobile 6 update strategy, including which devices will receive the update, please see the following link.

I know that the service center repair the bricked phone, but it is not the solution because we have many users with the same problem.
The best solution for the german users are a dumped original german rom and so save time and repair costs for the service center.
Please , if anyone know how to dump a original HTC P3300 german ROM, please gib me a step by step how to, my wife have a P3300 with the original rom and if i know how i can make a dum and publish the dump here for all other users.

I don't think this will work. From what I've read, can't remember where exactly but probably on this site, I believe that, even if you manage to create a dump, you cannot restore that dump on another phone, or even on the same phone you created the dump from. The reason is that the flashing procedure has built-in security checks by means of certificates. Those certificates are not included in the dump, so probably you will get one or more error messages. Correct me if I'm wrong.

WM 6 Offical for Tytn / Hemres

Just seen a post on Mobility which link to htc where they are offering WM6 upgrade at htc web site as stated below in Mobility.:
If you own a TyTN, you have great news … there is an upgrade for your device at the HTC site. If you have not already setup your eClub account there, you will need to do so to get the upgrade (BTW, it is a fast, easy process that provides you with a slew of benefits … so do it if you have not already).
Of course you need to remember that a ROM upgrade will erase ALL information so if you need something make sure you back up that data!!
You can get your TyTN WM6 upgrade here at the HTC website
http://member.htc.com/member/login.aspx?fm=eu&ln=en
One point it is for htc badged only. I have a v1605 variant so it does not show it for me yet and Vodafone do not know when they will release. I even told Vf that O2 had just announced their variant on the same Mobility site for their version of the Hermes.........

You missed to check the ............trillions............ posts about Official WM6 TyTN Upgrade from HTC here ON XDA-DEVS before posting..!!!!!!!!!!
For more info about your situation check Wiki and devs/hermes/hermes Mobile 6 thread....
Have FUN

I read this forum every day and have not seen "trillions" of posts on this yet.
And in this particular forum I've seen a grand total of zero posts on it.
Chill out.

sure man - try the search...

You can flash these ROMs on any version of the Hermes.

Vodafone WM6 for Herald is available!!!

Now Vodafone WM6 for Herald (VPA Compact IV) is available!!! You can download it at Vodafone Homepage under Support by clicking on VPA Compact IV. In the overview it is not listed. Only by clicking on the Device in the list. Then you must type in you S/N an accept the terms of condition to download the update.

Error 270
Hello,
now i have a second problem. My Herald was bricked in case of wrong Rom installation in the past. Now Vodafone ha released the new rom, but if i want install that i get the Information that there is an update error 270 an the progress stopped directly after 1% of installation. Now i think the problem is that the updater can not read the old informations from the phone and there are corrupted datas from the old wrong rom i had installed in the past on it. Now my Question is, how can i delate the old datas on the phone to install the new Vodafone Rom? Is there a way by MITTY or some other tools?
I hope anyone couldt help me.
Thanks

WM6 Upgrade failed / for no reason / Vodafone Image corrupt?
Well, my WM6 upgrade of the Herald stopped after 1% with error 270 (image corrupted)
anyone had succes with this? I made quite a few ROM upgrades so far with different devices from the same computer. USB cable is working perfeclty. Herald had a hard reset before. So there shouldbe absolutely no reason why the WM6 upgrade should not work.
Any sugestions?

Skynet, did not read your post, had only read first entry of the thread.
I got Vodafone on the line - they will call back since the regular support person does not even know "WM6" as a epxression
For all: I suppose the signed ROM file from the updater is corrupt. Shame on Vodafone. I took me 1 hour to test every single aspect of the uprade process...

The new ROM on the Vodafone pages (at least in ther german version) is
a) the same for Hermes (VPA Comapct III) and Herald (VPA compact IV). That cannot be right!!!! It´s not the same modell
b) it´s not a german but a swiss ROM
I tried to install it on a Hermes. It must be CID-unlocked to work because it´s a german ROM branded by swisscom for Hermes
Even with a CID-unlocked Herald you cannot install it.
I can´t understand why Vodafone puts that ROM on their page. It must be a mistake!!
Let´s wait for a corrrection of it

official Vodafone statement!
i spoke with Vodafone Business Germany yesterday. they confirmed its a corrupted installer. they cannot remove it quickly (its a Big Company and it was friday....) so they told me to wait until tuesday... (written on a wm6 , sorry for the grammar)
apple*

is there already a WWE or a DUT rom available or only the GER rom?
if so, plz give me a link

new one is on!
;-)

How do you identify it as a new one? Did you upgrade succesfully?
** CONFIRMED **
Got a phonecall from Vodafone Technical Support for Business Clients: Vodafone VPA compact 4 German WM6 upgrade DOES WORK now!
(The upgrade for VPA compact 3 still does not work..)

Sorry, but it cannot work on the P4350 or the VPA comapct IV as it is a ROM for the hermes (HTC TyTN), which is a complete different device. so it´s not a wrong installer but a wrong ROM.
On my HTC TyTN it is working perfectly.

Post the ROM
I'm waiting for a Dutch Vodafone ROM for a long long time now. I'm even willing to try a GERMAN Vodafone ROM.
But (there is always as but) my partnumber isn't recognised as a GERMAN phone, so no downloading for me.(http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/Vodafone_HermesWM6SnCheck.aspx)
Please post the ROM in the uploads or somewhere.

Hacked it
Nothing a little SQL injection couldn't fix. Will try to RUU it and will upload it...

English ROM for German Orbit 2?

Hi all,
I am SO eager to buy an O2 XDA Orbit 2 from Germany but I am kinda a bit too uneasy...
I will need to re-flash an English ROM to it. Either O2 UK's or HTC Touch Cruise's.
Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?
And are these English ROMs available on the net yet?
Thanks a whole lot to all the gurus here in advance!

This is the info you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123&page=8
This is the file you need:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe

Thanks a lot!
Sorry, there is too much said in that thread, I don't think I'll find the answer to this one:
"Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?"
I mean that I used to re-flash ROM upgrades to my Atom Life "just like that".
What if this ROM doesn't accept the Device ID of the German Orbit 2?

A number of users have flashed this rom on orbit II after hard spl and seems to be working fine. but i suggest you spend a couple of minutes going over the thread in any case. it's always useful.

do hardspl from olipro the geatest.
flash ROM
UR now fully WWE
PS: backup UR cab files from original rom first (operator settings....) they are in \windows\ - Polaris doesnt have extRom.

Apparently it seems that you will have to hard SPL to flash. But is is quite simple, so don't worry ;-)
(sorry, dupe of phsnake's post above. He beat me by 2 minutes ;-0 )

Don't worry, mate, I did just that two days ago. I had bought an XDA Orbit2 from O2 Germany and I hated the German ROM (actually I hate localized software even though English is not my mother tongue).
So what you do is really simple and there is no chance anything to go wrong:
1) Install HardSPL from olipro (you can find it in this forum somewhere)
2) Install the official (not the dumped one) WWE (World Wide English) ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123
And that's it! Enjoy a "native" interface!
Later on you will be able to upgrade to any ROM by simply installing it over the previous one. The HardSPL step you do only once

O2 XDA Orbit II : cannot overwrite WWE on German, wrong vendor ID
Hi ingenious,
I need to use my XDA device in English as my German is too poor to be able to use German softwares.
I've tried steps you have described but still I am unable to write Polaris WWE on my O2 XDA Orbit II device. Can you help me?
Please give me your number at [email protected] so I could call you back for step by step guidance.
Where do you live in Saarbrücken? I've also studied in Uni SB 2002-2005 and now I live in Berlin.
I have all the files download from this forum, whoever has said something about download .
Also I have "Hard-SPL" , "Hard-SPL-V7" and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe".
What else do I need?
