Okay! I'm completely lost!

I just got a Qtek 9100 from a friend.. He said it was an old test version of the device...
I only got the device and the charger.. Now, when i plug it into my PC, it can't recognize the device.. and the firmware is from 08/2005... so I kinda feel obligated to update them..
1. Is there some place where I could retrive some drivers or something for my computer to recognize my device?
2. I checked out the thread to see wether it's Q3 or Q4.. but my IPL is 0.34 and my SPL is also 0.34 (that's it!).. so i have no idea what upgrades to use.
3. Also the keyboard (I'm not talking about the on-screen keyboard.. I mean the one that you pull out..) on the device is swedish (scandinavian) but when i try pressing the button that says like Ä it acts as an english keyboard and a "/" appears... I'm swedish so i'd love if i could get some help fixing that
Thx~ kryX

Since you own the QTEK now you can sign up at the QTEK's homepage and download the latest ROM update for your device (even in swedish) http://www.myqtek.com/
The connection problem might be another one: maybe your friend installed a USER CREATED ROM - you still should be able to enter the boatloader mode!
There are plenty of threads in here about connection problems but finally it depends on your OS and the ROM version used! If you're running VISTA then you can forget flashing your device for the time being ... !
Go to wiki.xda-developers.com and studdy the WIZARD UPGRADE and UNLOCK section. This should get you started!

it won't accept my IMEI #... :/ and i'm using windows XP... it connects fine, just can't "get installed".. it appears on the screen that a new device has been found.. but it can't install it..
you mean to say that you can upgrade to a ROM that's in swedish even though you have a EN device?

you need to install Microsoft 'active sync' to get your ppc and pc communicating.

I just like to warn you to make BACKUP of your phone's firmware in case things go wrong. Don't become another 'cry baby' asking for 'urgent help' because the phone got bricked...
Do a search around to see what you need to make a backup and if your phone allows a full backup (must be CID unlocked)
good luck and welcome to forum
cheers

that worked perfectly.. thanks...
mestrini: thanks for the tip, backed it all up, and unlocked SIM and CID locks..now the big question is, is it a Q3 or a Q4??
EDIT: also, WHERE can i get the latest firmware? all the ftp's i've seen linked are down? :/

Take a look at this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Versions - to find out whether it is g3 or g4. then i suggest you start with a vanilla rom, Win 6 Pro 3.0 seems to be good now.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309078. the download link for that is there along with the password

also, start out at the Wizard Wiki, it gives all of the information that you will need to know, and the rest are at the top of the forums with a "sticky" on them
good luck

I flashed it with that Win 6 pro thing.. (it was an OS ROM, right?) and now it doesn't boot anymore.. now my bootscreen shows
Wizard DVT
IPL 0.34
SPL 0.34
OS 4.0.0.0
it stays like that for quite a while then the screen goes white and it starts all over again.. should i just assume i flashed it incorrectly? because i dont know if that was a G3 flash or a G4 flash or what ever..
EDIT: wait.. third time the screen went white the bootscreen changed to the new one.. it kinda seems to have started now.. GREAT

You guys must be careful with the new WM6 ROMs since they are packed without IPL/SPL so that they can be used by people with CID locked G4 devices.
That means that people with IPL/SPL bellow 2.x must first upgrade the boot loaders to 2.xx/3.xx otherwise the new ROMs will most probably not work

you need an ipl/spl of 2.xx or higher to flash ANY WM6 rom
from the bootloader (hold down camera button while starting), flash the tmobile 2.26 factory rom to get a proper ipl/spl.

Would you mind just linking it to me?
EDIT: nvm :/ it seems the phone is dead now.. it was all laggy when i finally got Win pro 6 to work... and it took like 5 whitscreens for it to finally get started... couldnt send any smses or anythin.. so i was gonna try turning it off and on again... when i tried turning it off the loading symbol appeared... and went on for like 10 minutes (at LEAST) so i thought i might aswell get som sleep.. when i woke up the phone was turned off.. and i tried starting it.. it just started for like one whitescreen then it died...
can't "bootloader-boot" it.. no light goes on when i stuck it in the charger or anything.. :/

just reading back, if you didn't know the answer to this question (above), you probably were not cid unlocked.
if the battery is dead (you left it on overnight?) you will need to charge it outside of the ppc, then try to get into bootloader, then flash the original operator's rom.
i wouldn't give up on anything that sells used for over £100 on ebay

EDIT: Also, where can I get a swedish ROM? i hate having to use the on-screen keyboard everytime im typing an å ä or ö..

no it hasn't, (this is a forum, not a help desk) i was just looking at it and trying to decide what, if anything to write, when my email showed another reply.
to be really honest, any question you can think of will already have been asked and answered several times in this forum - you just need to read (use Google to search this site). And that doesn't even cover the questions which you will want to ask when you begin to realize what your wizard is capable of
Swedish roms? - absolutely no idea. and so many people here are English speakers and i assume many non English/non Americans use an English language rom anyway
active sync? - try uninstalling and reinstalling, check the options, do they allow usb connections? i find AS sometimes changes options itself

Allright so i've come to realize i don't need a swedish ROM.. i just need to fix the hardware keyboard to act like a scandinavian one...
And it isn't AS that gives me trouble really.. the problem appears before activesync.. a USB icon appears and says it cannot recognize a device.. and when i click it i get a list of my USB devices and the one that has errors is written in bold... it sayd "Okänd enhet" (Unknown device).. and i can't seem to install the wizards drivers manually when i get that option.. cause i have no idea where to find them... :/

active sync is what should recognize your wizard. if your pc doesn't recognize your ppc, the only reason that I know of is because active sync is not installed or not working - have you uninstalled and reinstalled?

Sorry to be such an idiot but...

I was trying to upgrade my SX66 from the factory Windows2003 to WM6 with this HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_ installer. I started the install and it crapped out giving me an error saying that it could not communicate with my device and that I needed to plug my device back in and retry it. My SX66 is now stuck on the bootloader as I'm sure the ROM isn't complete, and the installer does nothing now. Can someone please help this noob out? I'd really like to have my phone back lol.

Did you unlock the device first?
In any case, just try to reflash your device back to WM2003 with a stock rom. It does seem to be a bad flash. Also, which OS are you using (XP or Vista)?
Follow this in order to perform the upgrade properly...
Good luck!

I'm running windows version 7. and no i didn't unlock the device. i just ran the installer application (i hadn't found a detailed install manual) i'm not entirely sure how i can re-flash now, because i can't get a usb connection made because it's stuck in the bootloader.

no, the screen that says serial/usb at top and 2.07 at bottom

I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page
In my opinion (and this is just a theory), Windows 7 (since it is a beta) does not have the necessary drivers to recognize the "usb device". Hence, when you put it in the cradle, it just doesn't see it. Again, this is just a theory...
You may want to get a hold of a machine with XP (that is if you didn't make the one you are using a dual boot). You should be OK if you try to flash via XP.
If everything else fails, you can always use mtty and flash via SD card (the procedure can be found in the wiki).

I had the device synced up before the install. it's just having issues syncing while it's in the bootloader mode. The device actually appears in the usb devices, but doesn't sync. i was thinking that the device might have to be authenticated with local software(on the sx66) in order to sync. I'm using the windows vista drivers. I do have this machine dual boot, but it's not any other version of windows i'm using

Your device does not have to sync in order to up/downgrade. Think about it this way... the RUU will put the device in bootloader anyways.
Just run the installer of the stock rom (the upgrade from Cingular).

@N1cholas: Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just a little confused. Are you expecting MS Active Sync to show as it usually does when you are syncing your phone? If that is the case, it won't happen when on boot loader. Are you getting any error when trying to flash or you haven't tried to flash yet?
Advise:
1. Keep your hopes, don't get despert. Egzthunter is a master
2. Make sure you follow the guide... Step by Step to upgrade.
3. If it'll take you too long to complete the reading and flashing, reset your phone and put it to charge. You won't be able to flash with a dead backup battery. Main and Backup battery won't charge while on bootloader.
Edit: @Egzthunder: Sorry mate, while I was thinking, drinking coffee and writing you had already replied Like I said, your the help master. Once again, I encourage the MODS to propose you to be part of their teem. You're always there to help.

i'm going to head off to school, but it's not working. when i try to run any mods i get an error saying that it cannot communicate with device.

Why do you think I don't trust it?
@N1cholas,
I apologize since I ended up going to bed yesterday night.
I think your best bet will be to find yourself a PC running XP and try the reflash in that since it seems to me that something is going on with the OS.
@red and mark
Thanks for the support, guys!!! But you guys are awesome as well!

yeah, it's weird, it's just not working anymore. It appears in the device list and everything, but in WMDC it doesn't show up, and the rom install wizzards can't communicate with it either. I have been unable to find the upgrade ROM from cingular as it seems that the siemens' page has been removed. Also, I have a 2gb SD drive, but haven't been able to find information about flashing the SX66 from the SD.

You will not see the device in any type of sync software (call it ActiveSync, WMDC, etc). I hvae uploaded the SX66 stock installer from Cingular, so give that a shot
Here you go
SX66Update.exe
Like I said... XP computer. Also, for the SD flashing, you need to look for something called mtty and instructions on how to use it.

the proper solution
1.MTTY method for unblocking bootloader mode
2.Upgrade the same way as in Vista to stock rom
3.Sim Unock, Repartition DOC
4.Upgrade vista way to any rom you like
there are guides in WIKI about this
egzthunder1 which version extrom version and radio are in this rom - the one you sharing? As you know i make public BA shipped rom collection, and any rom which is not there is welcomed

Hey xplode,
To be perfectly honest, I haven't flashed 2003 since 2006, so I would be lying if I told you. Feel free to add it to your database if you wish. FYI, this is the upgrade that Cingular Wireless used to offer when the SX66 was still available in the at&t website.

MTTY doesn't have a USB option, it's only giving me COM1, COM2, COM3...

Help! my dopod is fUBAR

Hi all,
I'm a newbie here so sorry of this type of problem has previously been solved in a later thread. If so I couldnt find it.
Several months ago I returned from China to Germany with my Dopod C858 with stock windows in English, I found a link on how to upgrade the PDA to a cooked rom ( I cant quite remember which one but I worked fine and looked quite smart compared to the standard windows layout) nedless to say several days later I was not quick enough with the charger and let it run flat. After charging nothing worked anymore!! I can get boot loader (ISPL 1.09.0001 SPL 1.09.0001) and thats it. I have tried every possible way appart from gold card to reinstall a rom but always have either error 240,264,300 take your pick its different every time. I am running vista 32 (Prophet tools vista driver ). Please help with some suggestions or guidance how I can restore it..
Ps Active sync or even widows mobile device centre doesnt recognise it though if I go into Properties/Device Manager it comes up as a HTC Mobile device
Many thanks

You need to flash your original carrier ROM. Go into bootloader, hook up your phone via USB and flash it. Then you should have an updated IPL/SPL of 4.xx.xxxx, after which you can then apply HardSPL and flash another custom ROM if you like.

1. This is NOT a ROM Development thread. I moved it. Please post in the correct sectio next time.
2. It has been covered many times.
3. You flashed using USPL or HardSPL but your SPL is below 4.0 They're both incompatible with your SPL.
4. Your only fix will be a gold card. Search for it and you will find detailed instructions on how to fix it.

Moved?
Where did you move my thread to please?

Bricked HD2 repair

Having my TMOUS HD2 bricked by using Task 29 and 2.09.51 radio, thus losing the warranty, how much does it cost to have it repaired by HTC? Do they even accept them for repair?

Does it even boot to the tri-color bootloader screen? If so, you can fix it (I think). If it is indeed dead, there are some posts describing brief, furtive encounters with a microwave... (wink-wink-nudge-nudge)...
Hope you get your device either fixed or replaced soon...

It is dead, no tri-color bootloader, nothing

does it turn on at all? stuck at the pink/white "stick together screen"?

Since it's less than 2 weeks since you got it, just take it to the T-Mobile store you got it from, and tell them that it just stopped working for no reason. I know it's bad thing to do, but it's better them than you right... I am sure they are prepared for the first set of devices to have some issues
Just be ignorant and tell them that you left the phone charging overnight and the next day morning, it just stopped working. They will just swap the device. Just make sure that you go to the store in-person to pick up the deivce. If you mail it in, they would dignose and probably know you have messed around with it.
I did the same thing with I flashed my device the next day it came out. I flashed a Custom ROM that had a non-compitable radio and it just did not boot. No bootloader mode.. nothing. NADA...
I called the store I got it from, he asked me to come by the next days since he was of all the devices and he was expecting a few the next day. I asked him to reserve one for me for the exchange for the damaged device. I went in the next day.. They just swapped the device. I actually told him to switch the battery from the new device to see if this one works, he said, it does not matter as he had send the whole device back anywayz..
So, good luck. Hope this helps.

Same as above for me except they had no devices left. Out of stock completely with no ETA. I got my refund and I'm back to being HD2'less.

I paid $172 to have me htc blueangel screen repaired if that helps.

Nothing to do with task 29, task 29 is safe. Radios with ..51.. are deadly.

Unfortunately some of the ROM's can be the kiss of death.
I can tell you that you have completely bricked the phone and they can't tell what ROM you have then you can probably get the warranty with HTC. If they discover you have a ROM it will be shipped back to you and they won't even fix it. It's a hit or miss with them.
I sent back one HTC HD with custom ROM and they didn't have a problem. I snet another one back and they declined due to custom ROM.
Just hope you get them on a good day

That's pretty much right....when you flash an incompatible radio to this phone (which that ROM has), that's the surest way to kill your HD2.
You can send it to HTC for repair, where they will likely tell you that you need a new mainboard (CPU, rom/ram, etc) and offer to charge you for it....usually very close to the price of just replacing the phone with a used one.

Can you get into bootloader mode then? Get there and flash a different ROM. Be sure it doesn't contain a .51 radio!

sorry.

Got my HTC HD2 rooted and installed droid froyo and it worked for 2-3 weeks, and then suddenly after trying out a program from droid market, called photofun, it just froze, so I removed the battery and put it back in, and it is not coming up at all. Tried hard reset with the vol up/down+power with no luck. Completely dead, would not even go to the boot loader.
So if anyone is in same situation as I was, just search for htc repair in your local CL and I took mine to a local wireless store here and they're able to fix it somehow and cost me $50. Software issue they said.
There seems to be a way to fix a completely dead/bricked hd2, without having to replace the whole mobo, but cannot find any info online. Anyone would like to share please? In case I bricked my phone again or anyone else who bricked their phone.

Big problem with my HD2, apparently. Someone, please ?

Hi, how are you, guys ?
I'm new to this awesome forum (helped me many times), and I decided to post a new thread because I believe that my situation is pretty serious.
I'm from France, by the way, so I apologize in advance for potential grammatical errors or what. Let's cut it to the chase.
Like most of you, I love new technologies with mobiles, that's why I bought what I consider to be the greatest smartphone on the planet right now, the HTC Leo/HD2.
When I searched all over the internet for tests, reviews about several phones I planned on buying, the HD2 seemed to be the most versatile of them. I was most notably amazed by the fact that the Leo could be a home to Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Android, among others. So my choice was made.
I wanted immediately to upgrade the OS, and to go into WP7. Several reasons to that, the first being Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. As it's name indicates, this OS seemed to be made for professional purposes. Plus, and you may guess it, I was really excited to try Windows Phone 7.
I tried to search the easiest and most detailed tutorial on how to upgrade to WP7, and I found this site:
I'm not authorized to post the link to the site, so I'll just tell you that the article is "Download Windows Phone 7 [WP7] ROM For HTC HD2 [Install Guide]", in Aliwaqas[dot]com
Looks serious, right ?
I downloaded the files and followed the instructions.
Aparté: Before that, a week before, I downloaded the latest ROM from the HTC website, because I had a problem with text messages, a problem some of you (or even all of you) must've had: It took way too many time for the virtual keyboard to appear and process with the text message. So I download the ROM, it was the one from 2010-10-11, 3.14.406.2.
Back to the WP7 upgrade, now.
- It was asked to grab MAGLDR, extract and copy the files to my desktop: Done.
- Download HardSPL 2.08 and install it: Done.
After that, my phone completely froze at the white HTC Screen. Every time. I tried Soft & Hard Reset many times, still freezing. I continued, hoping that WP7 would stop the freezing.
- Download the 2.15.50.14 radio and install it. Done.
- Connect my phone to the computer and execute MAGLDR (v1.12): Done.
- Go to the fifth option, "USB Flasher": Done
And there stops my progression. As a matter of fact, it is aked to execute DWI.exe, which I did. However, every time, it finishes with this:
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (1198)
Error Description: EnterBootloader missing
Info: .\RSPL\BootLoader.cpp (176)
Can anyone help me on this, please ? Because I can't even restart it all with the Hard Reset, because it doesn't work, obviously.
Thank you to all, peace !

Did you have the 3.14 ROM installed prior to running HSPL2, flashing the 2.15.50 RADIO?

The first thing you need to do is downgrade the WinMo6.5 ROM to either 1.66 (HTC) or 1.72 (branded: T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc). Go to HTC's website and download the ROM from there - you need to use your phone's serial number.
Put the phone into BootLoader Mode (with the phone off, press and hold the Volume Down button then tap the Power button). You will se a 3-colour screen with 'Serial' at the bottom. On the screen you should see SPL 3.03.0000 (this tells that you have the 3.14 ROM installed). Now connect to the PC and the 'Serial' will change to 'USB'.
Run the ROM (just tick the box about ActiveSync as bootloader bypasses the need for it). If you are running with Vista or Windows7 then you need to do this as an administrator. Once this is down you will have either a 1.66 or 1.72 ROM (either will have changed the SPL to 1.66.0000).
You can now run HSPL2 and select 2.08.HSPL.
You can now run the 2.08.50 RADIO.
Now you are prepaired to enter the world of WP7 or Android NAND flashing.

Hi,
Thank you for helping me.
In fact, fred_up, I'm already in SPL-2.08.HSPL. I went in the thread alarien suggested even before posting this one. When I told you that I tried everything I could, it was real. Went into several forums, several languages, but no solutions. I hope this'll be the one. Anyway.
When it is into BootLoader Mode, here is what's in there ("_" means "blank):
PB81100___HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL__8G___XE
_______________0x05
CotullaHSPL______0x30
Even though I'm already at SPL 2.08.HSPL, do I still have to go through the process "3.03 -> 1.66 -> 2.08.HSPL -> 2.08.50" ?

Not really. But it's worth trying Bro

yeah, use a power mat or buy one of those external battery chargers, but be sure to make an extra battery so you can use it when charging the other one..

I'm afraid I don't see the relation between my problem and your post, coldest~~~...

have you tried running DWI.exe in administrator?

Yes, theroffness, I have, unsuccessfully.

Hi, everybody, thank you for your help
I re-downloaded the WPLEO7 folder, and I reinstalled it, it worked ! I'm now in Windows Phone 7, and it looks gorgeous.
On to the next problem, now
My phone is not recognized in my computer, no matter what way I try to go with. Installed Zune and the Windows Mobile Device Center, I can't do anything. Furthermore, the WMDC doesn't detect my WP7'ed HTC HD2. I want to install TouchXplorer and other .xap files, and I can't seem to find how I could possibly do that.
Anyone, s'il vous plaît ? (means "please" in french, for those of you who didn't know ! lol)
Again, Thank you to everybody who wanted to help me !

I did it, thanks for the help. However, ever since I installed chevronwp7.cer, my computer can't seem to recognize my phone anymore. I have all the related software, but I can't go farther.
Also, when I put an SD Card on my phone, it can't switch on !
I honestly don't know how to deal with that, can someone do ? Thanks.

I just solved the problem by my own. But I still have this problem with SD Card. When I put it on my HD2 (at that time, the phone is off. When it is on, it isn't recognized by the phone), I can't switch it on. I obviously need space because I can't even send some damn text messages.
