Hey
New to this forum. I've read through many of the threads but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Sorry for being a noob
I'm about to buy an Australian Version of the Imate KJAM aka HTC Wizard.
1. Which program would I use to backup the rom/everything etc so I can go back to original mode?
2. I've been reading about upgrading to WM6.0 Does this run faster than WM5.0? And which of the custom packs would be best?
3. Why is it recommended that to flash to T-Mobile's base 2.26 rom, then flash NBD 7.6. What is the point of this? Arn't these both ROMS? It would just overwrite the T Mobile 2.26 rom? Can someone clarify this for me.
Thanks!!

1. I don't follow this question. What exactly do you mean, "go back to original mode"?
2. WM6 is superior to WM5. Since you've been reading a lot of the forum, you know that there's a good bit involved in upgrading.
3. IPL and SPL are the "Initial" and "Secondary" Program Load. If you think of your phone like a computer, it's sort of like the BIOS.
"I don't follow this question. What exactly do you mean, "go back to original mode"?"
For example, currently on WM5.0 If i upgrade the rom which comes with WM6.0, would I be able to restore it back to WM5.0
I have the same exact problem. I would love to try and unlock my wizard and put wm6 on it. I have bought my t-mobile mda used, it is the german version (has Y and Z swapped on the slideout keyboard). Since when I received it it has wm5 in italian (I live in italy and I am italian). I am assuming someone put it there (so it has been unlocked i figure) instead of the german wm5. Now my questions are:
1) Can I backup my whole rom so I can go back to my original italian wm5 (same question as dvd107)?
2) if my phone has already been unlocked can I know in any way? Is there any risk in cid/sim unlocking it again if it is already unlocked? (I think it is sim unlocked since all sims work with it)
Thank you very much

Hi all,
I have MDA (XDA) from Austrian T-Mobile with ROM version 3.13.12 GER. I would like to unlock my device but I am not sure if this ROM-upgrade will work with my device. Can somebody give me a help?
There is no reason why it shouldnt work. Make sure you back your existing rom by sd method before proceeding.
You need to get XDA2Unlock, just go into the right forum.
But it's quite easy. I did a unlock real fast. took me a few minutes (it was brand new, so I didn;t need to make backups.)
Go to eh unlocking it forum

The best ROM for unlocking your MDA I is the english 3.17.03 SER (Special Edition ROM) which has the XDA-Unlock tool built-in.
Then i would recommend a cooked version of the German T-Mobile ROM 4.00.33 with some nice Tools already included...
If you can't find the ROMs, I can help you to find them ;-)

Hi guys
Just a quick question and I hope you guys can answer me.
I have got the MDA Vario with T-Mobile and have upgraded the ROM to 2.17.7.2 WWE (this is the Qtek Rom) and it works just great.
My question is, however, can I downgrade this ROM to the original T-Mobile ROM it came with?
I am wondering since I want to send the phone back to T-Mobile but am worried if they see I have upgraded it they will not take it back.
Please help.
Thanks kindly
You'll need to use lokiwiz to unlock the device and then reinstall the opriginal ROM. As you have an AKU2 ROM you'll need to downgrade the ROm first to an old custom QTEk ROM and then run lokiwiz to unlock then re-install the ROM. There s along post on this forum or the upgrade forum on how to do this. There are alos posts re putting the device back into it's original state if you need to ship it back to a vendor - can't find them just now but would suggest you trawl the forums... painful though it may be
Hey thanks loads. I have looked around to try and find how to restore everything but can't find it yet. I'll carry on looking but if you can suddenly remember where they are I'd appreciate it
Also, do I have to downgrade the QTek ROM first, or can I just install the T-Mobile ROM straight away?
Thanks again

Does it matter that the link above looks like it is for US? I have UK T-Mobile
DaveyG th solution is explained at http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...IBwAAABi/2UG&bcsi_scan_filename=viewtopic.php
If you want a TMo UK ROM got ot the TMo UK Site http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
Thanks JoninLA, the phone is unlocked using Loki already as that is how I upgraded the ROM, but I will make sure I have unlocked it and then install the original ROM from the T-Mobile site.
Thanks so much again, now I should be able to send it back, providing it all works...
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.
Hi,
sorry if this question was asked but I could not find previous posts.
I would like to try newer ROMs on my Qtek S200, but before I'd like to backup the current, original, ROM (SPL 2.09.0000, Italian OS), just in case.
However, wizBackup (mtty 1.42) refuses to dump the ROM since the phone is not CID unlocked (the error is "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image"). AFAIK the only way to CID-unlock the prophet with SPL 2.xx it is to use the downgrade procedure explained elsewhere. However, in this way I would loose the original ROM before I could backup it!
Is there some way to dump the original ROM before downgrading to unlock the device?
ok, I'll ask an easier question, then
anyone has dumped (or knows from where to download) localised Qtek s200 ROMs (especially Italian)? I can find no download area at www.qtekcorp.com
Two people lookin'... indeed :lol:
I'm still having - after 3 months - the same two problems.
Has someone sorted them out ?
Thanks and excuse my bump
looking for the same thing.
I'll end up unlocking and upgrading my S200 without a backup of the original ROM. I doubt Qtek will release any upgrades since the device is quite old now.
It's a shame they did not even release the original rom for download.
So too bad, I'll take the risk and unlock the phone. I'm confident that the imate Italian ROM, though not very new, will work better than the one I have now.
My S200 is 6 months "old", and for the very first three months, it hasn't any support data on pocketdevice site because "too new".
Now is it obsolete and nobody will release anything for such brick ???
What a kind of policy is it ?
Thank you, but I think this is a dead-end policy for QTEK
Bye
Qtek S200 Original .Cab files?
Does anyone have access to the original .cab configuration files that came under the 2.09 Rom Ver. ?????
Trying to remove the Batt. & Comm Manger icon from the base of the screen.
Under the 2.09 version both icons were removed when the unit 1st configures its self and places a batt. icon on the top tool bar.
Not looking to install any additional program that monitors all of these items just want the original config .cabs that perform all of these task.
Please post link or notify via private msg, Thanks
read the wiki
the official and original 2.09 files are on the ftp server....

Sorry for asking stupid question....I searched on this forum, couldnt find answers.
I read on official HTC site, that after I upgrade to WM6, I cannot downgrade to WM5 anymore.
I found many customized ROM here (WM6), if I used that ROM, can I downgrade to WM5 after some times?
thx
Of course you can ...
how is that done, do you just overwrite everything with the standard HTC ROM or do you have to delete the Hard SPL and radio upgrades first?
You can do, but once you have WM6 you will not what too...
May be an idea to keep a copy off your orginial rom,
incase you want the exact same one back...
