For those who would like to update only Radio ROM, without affecting any other parts of ROM.
This is version 02.30.21 from official QTEK ROM.
IPL, SPL and other parts are not affected. This radio ROM is good for G3 and G4 DOCs.
Small instruction is in ARChive.
Tested on Prophet S200, G4.

re: file prepared with ARChivator.
Hi Fdp24, I tryed several times to open the link you posted but do not work. Could you please reload again. Can you tell us about the improvement? Thnak you in advance from Spain.
Already on FTP!
Isn't that the same one already in ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads?
There are two files there:
PDAMobiz_Prophet_G3_RadioRom_v2.30.21.exe
PDAMobiz_Prophet_G4_RadioRom_v2.30.21.exe
Choose the right one for your Prophet. The G3 file would be for Prophets with SPL 2.XX.0000 and G4 for SPL 2.xx.0001.

Exactly where do you find these numbers and what do they mean? Is it a hardware difference related to build date?
i can confirm this works, updating from: RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship
cheers, mate!
tanks it's works !!!! same meesterlars
i take the version in rapidshare it's g3 or g4 ?
and the difference with old rom ?
As mentioned above this is not pdamobiz. I can not comment their pack because don't know what they did.
The one you see in this subject is for G3 and G4 DOC. Does not matter which one you have. It is recent Qtek radio rom.
Why only radio rom?
This could be usefull if you would like to update only radio stack, without touching the rest on your device and it is safe, because IPL and SPL are not affected.
foufou55:
in my message above please read "This radio ROM is good for G3 and G4 DOCs"
Matterhorn:
I guess your question is about G3 and G4. I will not repeat, will just post a link (the first one I found) :

Please keep updated, it could be usefull for others to see what you have noticed about this new radio rom.
re: of course i've tested on my device before posting it
don't see any problems so far.

SPL is the bootloader. You see the version when you "reboot" either through soft-reset or power-off and -on. I didn't try the package from Qtek but as fdp24 says it is more convenient to use as it applies to both flash-types.
Hi There
This might be a stupid question, but does this radio upgrade delete everything on the S200??, or does it only replace/delete the radio part of the rom, and I keep everything as it is, so I don't need to install all of my apps again??

S-E
Why two topics on one forum?
The radio thread is already running in the Prophet Upgrading section.
You can find it HERE.
You can also find your answers about completely cleaning your device or not after updating radio ROM's

I ran G4 on my Prophet, then ran G3 when I discovered that my bootloader 0000 was supposed to have G3. Anyway, both times the installation went through without a problem. No hard reset is neccessary and you keep all of your installed programs and data. A word to the wise, I always do a backup before installing anything that is even slightly homemade.

will do. i've noticed no difference at all, to be honest. as long as it's no worse, a bigger number can only mean improvements in some department.
i'm keeping it.

Hi all
I have just succeeded in removing a simlock from a t-mobile MDA vario (QTEK 9100)
Now I want to get rid of the t-mobile screen etc etc
Wich of your ROM files can I use??? I am sooo confused. I saw some ROM's at Molski.biz but I'm not sure wich ROM to download to flash.
IPL 1.06
SPL 1.06
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1622
I hope you can bring some light to the darkness!!
Tnx and respect to all who develop these fantastic things!
.. OK i found out:
* my device is a G3 device...
* I need to CID unlock with lokiwiz02b...
But my biggest question remains.. wich of the molski.biz ROMS to use?
2 options:
* • RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE (G3 Device. IPL/SPL like: 2.xx)
OR
* • RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_NLD
Or am I completely wrong?

Mmmm OK well .. many thnx for the amswer but the question is still open.
My device states:

SPL 1.06
And here it says:
RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE (G3 Device. IPL/SPL like: 2.xx)
So does it upgrade my IPL/SPL?
I just want to be sure the flash of the ROM will work...
THNX a LOT!
I recommend either Molski 2.26 or KTamas / bepe AKU3.2 RC1

So Sir,
If I understand you correct I made the good choice by selecting the:

As the ROM that I can use for my machine?
Thnx a lot!

SPL 1.06, and the RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE (G3 Device. IPL/SPL like: 2.xx), maybe someone can explain in short how this works? I searched and searched without a result untill now!

CID Unlock your device with LokiWiz 0.2b (and also SIM if you would like that) and after your CID is unlocked just upgrade to one of my (G3) Roms (the NLD for Dutch language and WWE if you want English).
Good luck,
Molski
HI
So I can also use your...
RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_NLD ?
And your WWE?
Maanhond,
I just wanted to say that this week I used the RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE ROM to upgrade my Wizard which had IPL/SPL 1.x and it worked perfectly....
OK thnx
I will try today! LEt you know the results!
Wish me luck! ;-)
WOW worked pretty OK
But I can not sync with active sync now? What can be the issue?
THNX all in advance for the usefull help!
I think u should upgrade your activesync to the latest one 4.5 beta 2.
OK
I was just trying to update to the 4.2 version but that seems to hang all the time!

Hello xda!!
I am very much a newbie and now I find myself with a brick of a phone. I wanted to put a new rom with the touch flo on it but it did not work. I upgraded to the SPL 3.08 I think that the right number and then I try to download the diamond 2.0. However the ROM did DL correctly but when I wne to configure it it said windows.autoconfig not found on my 8125 wtf is that all about. I own a cingular 8125. I dont know where to start now. All I want is the touch flow rom but how and where do I start. I even tried to flash it back to the HTC OEM rom but I could not do it. Please anyone?? Help por favor....
Regards,
David
I would try to help you, but you will need to type (give) more information that those that I give/ask you. I'll need to know
- Your phone, G3/G4, IPL/SPL/OS/Radio
- The OS you flash page, instructions followed
- Your PC OS used
Read the Wiki (on top of this page, XDA-Wiki) on Wizard section on how to un-brick your phone.
I have a g3 type but I dont have the phone with me. I switched my sim to my treo for now. the OS ROM I tried to flash it with was Diamond 2.0 my SPL 3.08. Any help would be greatful
As I said in my previous post, you'll need to give me more info. Example of more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339014
UPDATE:
How do downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335222
I have a Cingular 8125 and the ROM I currently have is a Wizard Love/ AKU 2.3
When I turn my phone on it reads this
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08
GSM 2.25.11
OS. 2.26.10.2
This is what I wanted to do. I wanted to put WM6 with the Touchflo on it but now I am stuck with this ROM I know nothing about. When I try to flash it back to the Cingular ROM is will not update I need a new NBF file? If you can help I would be greatly thankful and would donate to you.
Cheers,

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.
Hi,
I have an O2 XDA Orbit and I need to upgrade that to WM6.1, currently I have WM6.0 Pro running on it....i have been reading threads relating to the upgrade but i rather got confused...i really need somebody to explain me the following please:
1. Can my phone be upgraded to WM6.1?
2. If yes then how can I do this in a secure way without risking my phone?
I would really appreciate your efforts...Oh just in case you might need the info, I've detailed my "Device Information" below:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Processor: OMAP850-201MHz
ROM version: 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM date: 4/18/07
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28
ExtROM version: 3.4.206.101
RAM size: 64 MB
THANKS!!
1. Yes, your phone can be upgraded to WM 6.1
2. The operation is not riskless, but you can minimize those risks by reading carefully posts concerning CID unlocking and flashing...start from here and good luck: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Artemis
well i got the idea pretty much and thx for ur reply appreciate it but now where can i find ROMs and which one will be good for my phone...and i also read tht my radio version shud be the same as the ROM version now how shud i check dat??
Windows Mobile and radio builds have different serial numbers, you'll never have the same .Just choose what you like the most.. ROMS are here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_DumpedRoms and radios are here:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_RadioUpgrades. Obviously your device MUST be CID unlocked first. Take time to read a little bit..I can't flash it for you from my home
P.S: Our device is very versatile but not so powerful (low ram & cpu), I suggest to choose a ROM that doesnt have useless heavy graphic complications..No "cubes" nor "manillas" or whatsoever...It may look pretty but quite unusable, but this is just an opinion
lolxx of course u cant...alright now 1st i need to CID unlock my phone den select the preffered ROM upgrade and den do i need to upgrade my Radio version aswell or shud i leave tht (optional)
lolxx of course u cant but i just wanted a suggestion as to which ROM shud i select which will look good and flashy since u guys knw better...alright now 1st i need to CID unlock my phone den select the preffered ROM upgrade and den do i need to upgrade my Radio version aswell or shud i leave tht (optional)
Radio upgrade is optional (theoretically) but if never done , i suggest to do it. Can greatly improve gsm ,wifi, gps reception and battery consumption. Anyway as you can see I'm only a normal member of this forum (with a bit of experience), don't take what i say as gold!
oh ok...so the thread u mentioned for the ROM upgrade der were like 15-20 upgrades one said : WM6 from Orbit English 3.4.207.1 02.69.90 4.1.13.28 17745.0.2.3....is this for upgrade frm WM6.0 to WM6.1 or WM5.0 to WM6.0?
and then there are some which goes by the name of WM6.1 B&B v5.0, PDAVIET WM6.1, Greasy Weasel Evolution 2.x, Mossi meets Anja31 v1, Fredelius WM6.1 so which one shud i go for???
As you can see from my signature, my ROM is in italian, i'm afraid you're not interested in..otherwise i would recommend it straight away (even if its already 1.5 years old..).I'm extremely happy with it, tried many others (included pdaviet 6.5) and quickly returned to it. There is no "the best rom of all", each one has pros and bugs..must try and try again...The general rule in my opinion is to look for a light,clean updated Windows build that includes the latest patches (e.g. for bigger memcards, for camera,bluetooth etcetera). No need to look for a ROM that expressely says it's for Orbit...just choose a WM6 or 6.1 from Artemis section
Thanks bro u've been a big help...caio
It was a pleasure, no big deal..I understand that at the beginning one's little bit scared and has many doubts...that is why I insist that you DO READ CAREFULLY instructions and the forum in general..A couple of last hints: CID unlocking i necessary only ONCE, after that you can flash all the coocked roms you want. If I'm not wrong, radio upgrade doesnt need CID unlocking, you can do it before all operation without risk nothing. CIAO
If you have news (hope good) about your upgrade let me now!
for sure!!
ah, just wondering..don't have experience in it, but as you have an "Orbit", doesnt that mean that it is also SIM locked? Maybe you have some additional steps to do, check it!
No it isnt i have a different network SIM then O2 in the phone for abt 2 years...if tht is wht u mean by SIM locked??
Yes it's what I meant.Well it's a good start..I was looking around for some ROMs for you, unfortunately some screenshots have been removed from the latest ones but let me link one as an example : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364883. It is not the very latest build but I rembember it was woking very well. Obviously,i'd choose the NON CUBE version
oh thx as a matter of fact i have downloaded the same ROM wid the cube before u mentioned abt it ...and yeh it looked good lets c how it works
before CID unlocking my phone i tried to update the Radio ROM but when i pressed update it showed me da current ROM version and the version it will be which was 1.00.00000 however i downloaded the 3.34.90...anyways i continued and after 79% it gave me an error[290] saying the image was corrupted...den i downloaded the ROM from a different link and the same problem...any idea whts goin on??
Try another source or try my radio : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374430
If problem persists go with CID unlock.
UPDATE:
YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK phone before upgrading the radio aswell, I've just read it at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_RadioUpgrades, it says "You need to flash Artemis USPL before flashing these radios, for more info refere to the USPL thread". Cmon man!! take a little time to read!
well lemme tell u im running vista on my laptop but then i have a PC which is has XP...i've tried on both its the same error...after trying to update the Radio ROM i tried the CID Unlock...after the DOS process the phone screen goes blank and den the tri color screen appears which eventually installs the ROM to unlock but then again its the same error as earlier wid the Radio ROM upgrade
