Hello,
Well my story is that I owned a Dell Axim x51v…it died!
Well Now I have a Qtek 9100, i-mate K-JAM, or whatever (I still don’t understand the whole name thing)
With my Dell I flashed ROMs and stuff all the time.
Now can you guys help?
My new phone is unblocked, can I just flash any rom that’s on this page?
Also I have two of them, one is a present for my dad (his birthday is in one week), do you know how I can change the room to Spanish?
Any rom recommendations?
Please help! I want my puppy fighting!!!
Thanks!
Fernando
I'm not sure what you actually meant by 'unblocked'. There are generally two words for phone 'unblocking', that is (a) SIM Unlocked (b) CID-unlocked. If your phone is CID-unlock, then you can flash it with any ROM you want. Check on the XDA-Wiki (top of this page), under.. FAQ for the detail meanings of each words.
HOWEVER, there is this software ShellTools, that is able to flash Wizard (e.g QTek9100, KJAM..etc) without needing it to be CID-Unlocked. Search for it in forum.
As for the ROM, look at the XDA-Wiki under Wizard section, there will be a list of ROMs available, WM5/WM6. Many of the links are dead, but some point to threads that may be still alive.
As for ROM recommendation, it is another 'what's the best ROM' never ending stories. I would recommend you to search for it in the forum to look for suggestions (instead of starting one).

Hello,
today i got my MDA pro.
Now i'd like to knew all about my new "pda".
I upgraded my mda to the Firmware from 12/2005 wich i found on the t-mobile-germany website.
I knew, all the questions i ask here are somewhere answered in this forum, but i think a link-list will help newbies.
My questions:
1. can i really use another firmware from the another provider (o2, orange ...)
2. wich is the "best" firmware?
3. I search some good internetpages about the mda pro/universal where i can find a lot of software. Du you know some pages?
4. Do you have some advices for me (hints, must-have-software...)?
Thanks a lot
Erik
Firstly:
Read This:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534
Particularly point 2.
Then read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31697
Which is now a bit old and redundant.
Both of the above are always at the top of this forum.
To answer your questions.
1. Yes, lots are available on the Wiki FTP site. Make sure you follow the process and understand if you have a locked phone. I personally dont cross upgrade, and am happy with the imate latest ROM with Push Email. Another is due out soon that will provide bluetooth headsets.
2. "best"!!! sometimes the one with with most functionality is not the most stable. I havent tried the others, and have stayed with Imate. I used to have the O2 XDAII and again stayed with O2, up until we got some hacked Roms that went above and beyond the only supported releases.
3. www.handango.com www.ppcfreewares.com www.buzzdev.net www.lakeridge.com www.spbsoftwarehouse.com
It really depends on what software you want. Just make sure that they are WM5 compatible. There are various forums here that discuss various software and its functionality on the devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32698&highlight=software+wm5+working
is a detailed forum.
4. good advice, monitor these forums daily, make friends with buzz and vijay, be nice to people be good to your mum

Hello All,
I'm a newbie here and am currently using a GSM Treo 600, but have a GSM 8125 on the way. As a message board veteran (cigars, poker, etc...) I tried my due dilligence and have been reading and searching topics for the past day. It's simply too much info (a good thing) and the relevant topics that I find have so many posts with updates that I have a hard time keeping stuff straight.
I'm looking for direction on what type of things to upgrade and what must have programs I should add to the 8125. I realize that this type of post probably appears much too often but I have truly been overwhelmed with all the information that is here. For example, I've seen many posts regarding flashing the ROM but I was unable figure out what the latest ROM version is (created by Summiter) and I'm also unsure of all the benefits of flashing the ROM.
Any assistance will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!!!

I just got mine 1 week ago and this is what I did to make it run nice. I say that because after one day of use on the original cingular rom it was already acting up.
Go to these links in the forums and do as they say. Summiter and these guys have done us a great service with all their work. All this is free too.
Go here first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796
down load the lokiwiz version 0.2b and use it as the directions specify. You may as well SuperCID unlock the device if you want to upgrade the rom in the next step or it won't work. Remember to SuperCID after you take the first step.
From there go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48587
Read though it to about page 3 or 4 and find the link to the ftp site. Download the program and run it following the directions.
Don't panic when it hits 98% and freezes. That is standard. It will finish up eventually and reboot the 8125.
My 8125 runs perfect and I love the tiki theme. Summiter is great at helping and many of the other users really help also. Also, if you can't hook up to your Microsoft Exchange Server with Activesync when your 8125 is connected through the usb port, disable the proxy server in your internet settings.
Have fun. This is easy to do - I am a novice and had no problems.
THANK YOU Addicus! I appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction.
wow me too. im a noob and just got my 8125 and noticed its acting up abit. i'll try all this later on. hopefully i wont have any trouble doing all this stuff. thank you.
Like a lot of new M5000 users, a lot of the posts on here are quite confusing, so I'll list my queries all in one post.
It seems the M5000 is the HTC Universal, but on the inside of the unit it says 'HTC Innovation'. Is this the same model, and if it is then it's presumably safe to follow the HTC Universal topics?
My M500 had the option to hard-reset, then soft-reset immediately, to save the programs in the extended rom from loading, is there a similar facility for the M5000, and if so, is there a list of the extended rom programs anywhere (like the M500 cab list, that tells you what cab is what program, and what you need to install)?
Again, there seems to be a few roms floating about, but they refer to iMate, etc. Is there a decent upgraded rom for the M5000, or is it safe to flash an Orange M5000 with, say, the iMate rom, for better performance?
Sorry for the questions, but I've trolled the forum a lot in the past 2 days, and things can get a little confusing, without actually giving a definate answer to new M5000 users (trolled it enough to know not the ask about M5000 unlocking )
Thanks in advance.
Geez I had written a lengthy reply but it was eaten by one of those many 'database error' server crash... anyway, I'm a newbie too but i"ll give it a shot:
- Yes your m5000 is a universal.
- Yes hard then soft reset is a valid option to stop all the extra stuff from installing, but you might miss on some performance tweaks and other bits from your operator. Also don't forget to write down your connection settings before you hard reset.
- Using another operator rom on your phone is theoretically possible but AFAIK it has many drawbacks and requires an unlocked phone. See the Modaco forums or buzz's site for more info.
Good luck, and don't forget to share your findings!
Hi there:
I am new to Mobile Phone upgrading, so please be patient if some questions seem to be "lame".
I have just obtained an O2 Orbit, (Artemis), for one of my boys. It is in it's original, purchased, state; WM5, etc.
I have been informed that there is an upgrade for the Windows Mobile that will change the O/S to WM 6 or 6.1. Is this true and if so where can this be obtained? Is it an easy task to upgrade?
The next question is slightly more adventurous, I have been told that the iPhone "front end" is available for this phone. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, how can this be obtained and is this a simple transition?
Thanks in advance for anyone that can spare the time to answer these queries.
The O/S upgrades you refer to are available in software downloads called ROMs. A ROM is basically Windows along with a suite of applications that the maker of the ROM has chosen to include with it. For example, the current ROM on your Orbit contains WM 5, Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, etc etc... But someone making their own ROM may decide not to include Windows Media Player and add a different music player instead.
So basically, go through the Artemis forums looking for threads about ROMs. the best ones are the "Touch" and "Vanilla" series of ROMs by Meschle. Sadly he has left the forums but his ROMs can still be found.
Once you have downloaded a ROM, follow the instructions that will probably come with it, or can easily be found on here. Basically it's a 2 step process. You run one file which will remove the SIM lock (you may see the term USPL associated with this). and then another which will install the new ROM.
Just remember though, this will wipe your memory in the process, so make sure you've backed up anything you had on there that you want to keep.
As for the Iphone thing, it's not a complete front end, just several apps designed to make certain functions appear like the Iphone. Although I tried this and it seemed really buggy so I wouldn't recommend
Thanks for the help
WOW:
Thanks for the speedy response and the info'.
I didn't expect a response for days; if at all.
Your info will be acted on ASAP and I will let you know what happens.
Thanks again

Hi Gaz:
Thanks a lot. I downloaded your recomended ROM's and I have updated the Orbit. It was just as easy as you said. My son is using the phone and finds it infinitely easier to use than his last phone. Once again; thanks for your help from me and my son.
I wonder, do you have knowledge of the Orbit 2 ROM's? I realy would like to alter my O2 Orbit 2 and install the HTC ROM's. This uses TOM TOM and I have used this fro years; I don't like the O2 supplied CoPilot.
I have asked for help on the Orbit 2 forums but I still cannot find the necessary ROM's.
Hopefully
Brian
hiya - i'm guessing this issue has already been addressed somewhere... i'm also assuming that i'm too inept to search the correct terms - lol.
what i have is an HTC Touch HD which i bought on eBay (as new) and today received it back from a drop issue RMA from HTC America... apparently this unit is Dutch, and as such, it was flashed to the original settings. i never opened any of the UE inclusives in the package when i received the phone because i was simply upgrading from a Touch Pro to the HD, so what's the bother?
anywhooo... i managed to flash WM 6.5 (Miri's v.7-something) today, and am not at all comfortable with the performance. what i would like to achieve is an English rom flash of WM 6.1 & the original (English) HTC factory settings and perhaps go from there. things i am unable to do with the latest (6.5) flash are items such as 'stocks', 'simple-view' of the today screen (such as i was used to) and so on...
if there be any chance someone might point me in the right direction, i certainly would appreciate it.
if this thread needs to be moved, please feel free to do so & contact me either thru this link or directly at my email address - been almost a month without this phone & i ACHE to have it back to the familiar, user-friendly manner that it once was. lol.
thanks every1 John - ezbay.sales
