From WM5 to WM6 - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hello,
i have a question. I have a Artemis with WM5 in italian.
Is it possible to install the WM6 german version?
Can i download it under XDA-Wiki>Artemis>original shipped rom?
Does it works?

shouldn't be a problem. just make sure you follow the required steps (uspl,...). also, installing a WM6 ROM means erasing the existing one. you will lose all installed applications, your configuration and all data on your device's memory (storage card will not be erased).
also, you might want to consider one of the cooked ROMs since many of those offer better speed, stability and funcionality...

Newbie with a S110, where to start!

Hi there, I've just bought a Qtek S110 and I'm wondering about all the roms that are discussed here. Just a couple of questions, I'd be very happy if they could be answered.
- What is the latest rom for my Qtek S110 and where can I find it? I've looked for the Qtek homepage, but my Swedish isn't that good.
- Are the Radio and Bigstorage roms recommended? They sure sound good, but what versions do I need? I see so many on the FTP! I can't tell the difference or the version I need.
- Is there anything else that is important concerning roms that I need to do before using my lovely S110?
Thanks in advance for answering, I'd love to get the most out of this beauty .
Hehe, mine neither.
- I think the latest rom is 1.12 and radio is 1.12 too. At least that is on my S110 and that is brand new too.
- I'm not sure if I would mess with the BigStorage Rom, its not really neaded with 128MB RAM and I'm not sure it is works 100% on the S110 that is slightly diff when it comes to mem configuration
- I would do that softreset after hardreset trick to install the tools from the extrended ron you need and leave the rest out to save some RAM (not that you need to but why install crap?).
By the way, there is an english qtek page here: http://www.qtek.ch/IndexEN.htm
Thanks for your reply, I already seem to have the 1.12 roms, so that should be fine . With the trick when you softreset after the counter of the hardreset, no software is installed? So you have to do everything manually?
Another weird question, why does my S110 say I only have 8 MB of storage :O?
The storage is the internal ROM, you can store data here that will not be lost in case the battery runs out. it has 64MB of ROM, 8MB are free (rest is taken by OS). And it has 128MB of RAM, 121MB are useable here.
With the softreset after hardreset (do a hardreset, configure screen and time zone and click ok - right after that do a soft reset, be fast before the setup of the extended rom starts) you will have the normal WM2003SE PE ready for use but none of the programs form the extended rom are installed. You will find a new folder "extended rom" where all the cabs are stored, install only the ones you like. Most of them are provider branding, or pretty useless tools. You can get better from the inet.

Thanks very much Private-Cowboy, that really helped me a lot!

Qtek 2020 and Bluetooth

Hi, this is probably a newbie question, but just want to be sure of what i have to do exactly : i have a Qtek2020, ROM Version 1.66.00WWE, radio verfsion 1.10.00, ext rom version 1.66.146. I have problems with bluetooth transfer to send from the qtek to a samsung mobile; sometimes works wih some files, sometimes does not work .... the other way (from mobile to QTEK, it just work fine to receive files ...
If this is a ROM problem, where can I find it ?
After a ROM upgrade, I suppose I wil have to reinstall all data and additionnal programs ?
Thanks for your help
Newest official WWE ROM Version is 1.75.xx
You'll find it at the FTP download section of this site, but there is no guarantee that it will solve your issue.
After ROM Upgrade you will have to reinstall all applications, but if you make a full backup before upgrading, this should be done very quickly.

Backup original ROM (SPL 2.09)

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....

Has anyone managed to upgrade or change rom?

Has anyone managed to successfully upgrade or change rom?
If yes, what rom did you start from and what steps for the upgrade/transition?
This will be useful information for all.
THanks,
I'd like to know the same thing. My Orbit came loaded with TMo MDA Compact III ROM instead of O2 ROM. Needless to say I'm a bit peeved. The vendor is trying to fix but I really need the UK or WWE English ROM for O2. Has anyone dumped this ROM?
well,
on the wiki you will find the tmobile uk wwe rom. this is flashable if your machine is cid unlocked-in case it is not(standard) you will get kicked out off the installation by a comment named "wrong ID model" at about 3% of the running routine.
to unlock cid and flash the named rom, afaik the only way is to pay imeicheck.co.uk.
afaik there is no other vendour rom available yet, meaning no chance to fully switch to e.g. O2 etc.
alternatively you can exit the installation prior to extrom installation via a softreset at the 3second count. this not installing your provider cabs, you can then download the various available extrom cabs from the wiki and install them manually by copy and double-tap on your device.
Thormdac,
This is helpful info. Can you help me with this question: I have a greek htc p3300 rom but I would be happy to have the English version. Should I simply prevent ext rom from installing or do I need to change rom? If I need to change rom will I be able to do so or could it be locked to the Greek rom?
Thanks,
dear apap,
language is purely locked to the rom version and has simply nothing whatsover to do with the extrom version cabs you install!!!
in order to change language to english then you have to use a rom stating...."wwe" somewhere in its declaration.wwe=worldwideenglish.
now your machine "htc p3300" is with wireless lan, right? afaik, the tmouk rom has not implemented wlan on my german hero(without wlan!). the community here still isnt sure where the wlan comes from, the chip or the rom. so if i remember correctly and the tmouk rom not having wlan support, but your machine needing it, then once u unlocked cid and install the tmouk rom should end you up not having a functional wlan! in case we suppose wrongly...you are the guinnea-pig...you should have wlan. confusing? well i simply dont know off by heart any more about the uk machines having or not having wlan.
greetz
Helpful once again Thermdoc,
The Greek version does have wlan so I will wait to see if somenoe manages to find a wwe rom that is wlan enabled before experimenting.
cheers, apap

English Rom and Backup

Hello,
I have a HTP P3600 and the Rom is in Portuguese with GPS working.
Is it possible to convert Rom in Portuguese to a English Rom (specially because Portuguese Rom don't allow me to use Characters Recoginition Input Method).
I also would like to know, if anyone knows how can i backup the information in My phone (Firmware, Software, Data, etc).
Thx everyone
The ROM is your OS. Like on a normal PC - if you change the OS you can put a different language on it. Best thig is you probably have WM5 portuguese ROM and you can put English WM6 ROM instead. - This gives you an update at the same time!
This is the firmware! If you have the HTC WM5 Portuguese ROM - no need to back up, you can download and reflash the original ROM - have a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades
it also shows you most of the WM6 ENG ROMS too - but have a good look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=359 to find the ROM best suited to your need. (You're gonna need a lot of time - there's a lot of reading to do!)
Your software should be re-installable if not already in the ROM - see a post called " a post for all the cabs " - there's plenty there!
You data should be backed up using Activesync and your PC. This should let you put WM6 ENG, you software and also your data back on your lovely Trinity if you flash a WM6 ROM.
Now go get readin'
