Ive tried to download a rom, and i used its update tool and used mine nk.nbf, but when i click upgrade, i get the error "Error [238]: File read"
I have a G4 device - Cid unlocked
Now rom: Touch no evil (Lang: English)
Required: Normal WM5 rom (Lang: Danish)
What to do
Go to your phone's service provider website. You will find the latest update there.
It will probably be older (like, last year sometime), but it should be a single (albiet large) executable. No need for additional software, and you can remove the CID unlock, because it won't care.
If your Service Provider doesn't have it, you can download the Cingular 8125 ROM here: http://www.america.htc.com/support/8125/software-downloads.html
The TMobile MDA ROM is here: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
I'm sure you can find it. Use Google. Don't be lazy.
I have already downloaded the rom i want (Yes, from my provider).
But i cant update with it because it says "Invalid update tool" (I did it before)
So when i try to use another update tool it gives me an error reading the file
Remove the CID unlock. It may be hindering the default ROM from loading (it's a a crap-shoot, but it's worth a try...)
What actually is the status of your phone ? is it working normally ? what do you exactly mean by CID unlocked ? cuz a G4 device cannot be CID unlocked.Have you got it 'SoftSPL or HardSPL' ? which Rom exactly you are trying to upgrade with ?, Post your present IPL/SPL...? here,to determine the status of your phone,in order to provide you with any advise or suggestion,if you have downloaded latest official carrier's rom from it's website,there shudn't be any problem upgrading with,ok
Cheers !

This is the message I get when trying to upgrade;
ERROR 100 Model ID ERROR
The Rom image you are trying to use is not designed to work with your pocket PC. Please check the vendor website and download the correct Rom update.
following this guide should make you avoid getting that error
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
SERIAL v1.06
Dont understand what its saying! Is there a simpler way? O2 say if it doesn't reset after Hard reset I need to send it back!
Hi Guys,
Over the last 4 days I have been reading the posts and trying all sorts of possibilites to fix my Mini O2...
I did the stupidity of upgrading it without a back up. I bought a german O2. I live in Germany, but guess what I don't speak german. So, either I waited 10 years until I can, or updated it to english.
It all went wrong... nevertheless, I manage to download the qtek and used the no id software to upgrade it. it goes well, radio, ext rom, but when updating the rom - when it gets to half way, the program says there was a problem in upgrading the rom. Maybe some german configuration problem?
Can you guys guide me please? thanks a lot!!
I sorted it out.
Thanks for all those who took the time to look at it. Somehow mx Mini is crazy. What I did in the end was uploading each batch at time. Started with the Rom itself, thereafter the ext Rom and last the radio. I did that by extracting the whole package to a folder and removing/returing the parts I wanted at time. So now I have a full english version in my German O2.
Re flashing phone with wwe rom
What you need is to go into boot up mode on comapct i.e black screen with usb and seriel showing only. then you need to get with Maupgrade patch file and then you can bypass security issues on phone and re flash to wwe roms i.e qtek or i mate jam. Hope this helps everything you need is on this site.p.s remember to unzip the wwe file to get the 7 files and replace patch there before updating. 8)
email me on [email protected] for any queries i will try to help

Hello , I have a similar problem : I have a Qtek S100 from France but live in the USA . I tried to switch ROM with a WWE one (WWE_11200-172_11200.exe) and got a COUNTRY ERROR msg ; then I replaced the MaUpgrade by a MaUpgrade_noID one and now i am getting an "ERROR 150 : UTILITY ERROR" message ; dont really know what else to do and my phone is on boot mode ....
Could you please help...
Thanks in advance
ok i've done a bit of searching and i'm pretty sure its software related.
i got an mda pro from when i booted the phone up its had a o2 splash screen, so im assuming its had its software updated. so the phone works fine for about 6 hours or so but then it starts tt freeze up, propgrams stop responding and the phone wont do any thing. i left the phone like this for a few moments then i got a txt and the phone seamed to be working fine untill i went to use the camera and i got "the file camera cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted cert or one of its components can not be found you might need to reinstall or restore this file".
ok so i had a look and found the Available Universal Versions and Upgrades
the thing is i'm not sure which is the best to use or how to do it.
what would you guys recomend i do ?
thanks
MDA Pro with O2 Rom?
Seems so that there is other Rom on it. Normally, this is not a Problem, but who knows, what was changed in this Rom.
I would recommend to download new Rom and install this.
Try http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft.html
Thats got the latest XDA update.... give it a go and then get the new 1.09.00 radio update too...
Hopefully that will sort you out!
chears i'll give that one a go and see what happpens. fingers crossed
ok so i downloaded the Xda Exec ROM v 1.13.188 from the above site followed the directions in the pdf file, connected the phone and made sure there arnt any programs running in the backgroung. when i try to runn the application to do the upgrade it says its trying to connect to the phone then gives
"error 201: get device data error
can not get device data
please make sure device is connected and run this update utility again"
only problem is that it is connected or so ms active sync says.
any ideas whats goign on or is there another way to update the software ?
thanks guys its apreciated
ok so i managed to get past that stage but
now i get
error 102 ce image file check sum error
the rom image file to be used for the update is corroupt. please download the correct device software update utility and try again.
i have no idea what that means any sugestions ?
@cusaeng, can't help with the ROM update but your initial problem of problems after 6 hours is typical of the Universal when its running low on RAM. Use an app like GSPMaigc+ which can really close processes and reboot once a day (obviously once you solve the ROM issue).
chears i'll look in to that program once i get the rom issues sorted
i've trued downloading a version of the jas jar rom and that give the same error message about being unable to get device information.
when i flashed phones befor eg a motorola a1000 you had to get the phone in to bootloader mode then use a progran to flash it is it a simaler process with the mda ?
i really dont know if i'm doing anything wrong or not
Was experementing with S200 recently.
It appears to be a problem with downgrading device, with using standard tools. After upgrade to RUU.Prophet-2.15.13.27-2.15.13.121-02.19.21-Dopod-Asia-WWE-Ship and attempt to return to original QTEK flash, device crashed. 3 colour screen with no possibility to flash with either original flash files or another one.
The best I could do is to use same flash file with Updater.No.Vendor.ID. It would accept the file and start the process.
But looks like not easy to return to original flash, specifically, when it was lower version. It is possible, of course, with using flasher which will copy flash image direct to device without any further checks, like vendor ID or version.
Looking for the tool (flasher/updater) which will not do any check-up during the process. No vendor ID updater does not perform vendor ID check, now need something better, which will not do any check-up at all.
Please post if you have any information on this subject.

I'm looking for too
I'm in the same situation. I have the latest dopod rom, but i want to go back with the last qtek french rom: no way.
Please, help us!
I think "machina god" can do this tool.
I'm just waiting for this tool, or maybe a new french rom....
why you want back dopod rom is better than qtek
Hi,
Like I was saying above, I am experimenting. I need to have a way to go back. But with No.Vendor.ID it does not not look possible to go back.
With original ROM also.
j'aime les expérimentations
a bientôt
This become critical!
I have discovered unpleasant issues with my s200, since i have switched from original qtek to lates dopod flash. These issues relates to GSM phone. Sometimes can not connect, only soft reset helps. It was never the issue befor. When incomming call and you push on volume control side button, phone is "stuck", nothing happens and no connection.
So, guess what?
I need a tool urgent to recover functionality, to downgrade to original lower number qtek flash from existing latest dopod flash. As mentioned no.vendor.id is not a solution, because upgrade process check for version number, and if the existing version is higher than one you are flashing with, process will fail.
Please advise. Don't propose to buy a new phone
hey! there is a tool called JAWFM!people say that we can use it to upgrade with ani kind of software and it doesn't check vendor I'd!!!But there is one problem-it costs 85 $!
am I right ?
may be someone have it!?
may be that "someone " give it to us ?
Have the same thing. Want to go back to russian qtek ROM, but can not
So I purchased JafWM
JafWM have physycal lock key - so there is nothing useful with getting software alone, without key it not burn firmware.
It really can burn any firmware - but not any firmware have all components. Qtek firmware have all, but JAMIN have only OS, GSM, EXT components.
Is service center the only solution??
No, no, don't tell me this. It should be a tool (ROMUpdateUtility.exe) that does not check not only vendor id, but also version of flash and evrybody will be happy about it.
Question is where is a tool?
later.
So far, i have been reading up on the issue the message: "Data crashes: please contact your service center" and so far, i really havent seen anything that looks to be a definitive solution or explanation.
Personally, i have a Tmobile wizard with g3 chipset that has this problem. i spent the whole weekend reading up on it and what i did find has been pretty sparse and rather uninformative. I have tried downgrading my rom, unlocking using different version of lokiwiz (amazing tool there, machinagod! its saved my bacon more times than i can mention) and come up with zip.
Ok... so wot is the real problem here? what causes theis message to appear and what is the solution. I am going on my figurative knees to beg for some major help here.
I hope something will come up real soon cos i know that am not the only person with this issue. In the mean time, i am gonna continue looking for info.
To those that find themselves in this situation i just want to tell you that i didn't have to pay to fix my phone. I simply used itsme's tools to flash a new CID block back to the phone (lucky for me that i had a backup of it before facing this problem)
The reason for this is checksum errors in CID block (last 8 bytes of the 64k section) which may occur from bad flashing process or, as in my case, for messing with SPL messages with mtty program.
So all you have to do (if you have a G3 DOC model) is make a backup of CID block before upgrading rom (machinagod's programs create that file automatically when CID unlocking - even if it generates write errors). If the accident happens then downgrade SPL/OS to version 1.06 or bellow and flash the backup CID
Then simply flash new upgrade ROM
