im thinking of upgrading to xplode's WM6.1 Pro CE OS 5.2.19209 (Build 19209.1.0.2). took me quite a while to consider this upgrade, though.
but before i do so, i want to upgrade my radio rom and bluetooth stack first. question, what's the latest radio rom? is it 1.15.00 as i have read in the wiki? and how about for the BT stack version, is 1.0.0.3900 the latest? coz i've searched and found a 1.7 or something like that(its kind of a large jump from 1.0.0xxx version to 1.7, don't you think?). oh, it says BT broadcomm 1.7.1, are those the same thing?
please, could someone give me some information about these. im not new to upgrading ROMs, im on wm6 now.(so stupid of me not to upgrade the radio and BT stack for wm6, though. just bare with me) thanks guys.
oh btw, are there some more steps i need to do before the rom upgrade?
the latest radio rom is 1.15.00
you don´t need to update bluetooth stack, because it´s only a driver for wm 2003 se.
hope that help !
thanks. so all i need to upgrade right now is the radio version? oh, btw, i wanna do a ROM dump so i can backup my current ROM to an SD card. but the link in the wiki seems to be not working. i remember that a file or program is needed to do the dump.
you need Multi-Port/USB TTY
it´s the attached file.
greetings from germany

thanks again. i still cant open that part on wiki, it just says "problem loading page". all i need to do to use this file is just run it? no other instructions?
edit: there is an included .txt file on the zip which i think explains how to use the file, i couldnt read it coz its in german. sorry.
Read, read, read!!!

Before you do anything it is strongly recommended to read the usage of the mtty app because you can screw your device with an inappropriate usage.
Just an advice because mtty is a service app.
I suppose you should wait till that part of the wiki will be available again.
Or try Google
yeah, i am actually doing a lot of reading right now. im gonna search for info on this mtty. thanks. oh, something i've read on a thread, its not necessary to do a hard reset after radio upgrade on wm5. how about in wm6? do we need to do a hard reset? so i wouldnt have to do a ROM dump. just so i could slash out some steps in doing this upgrade.

Hello i just upgraded my QTEK from ROM Version 3.14.06 ENG to ROM Version 3.16.13 ENG and from Radio Version T313 to Radio Version 3.19.01. Everything worked fine and the ROM and the RSU were upgraded with success but idnt find any deffrence the device is still the same as for the GPRS i was hopping that when the device goes to standby it wont disconnect. Any idea what are the changes in the new ROM i have installed and the bugs that were fixed. If there is new ROM updates then the one i got from qtek.dk where are theyand will they work on my QTEK 1010 32MB.
Thanks
<flames>

</flames>
)

Where can i get them from?
Thanks for your reply, but where can i find those updates and will they work after the current upgrade that i made. Finally will they work on the Qtek 1010.
Thanks
as I said... 3.16.43 is unofficial and I can't share it... 3.15.15 is out there somewhere (use the Search function )
Couldnt find it!
Hi again i can find the new ROM versions that you instructed me to use instead of the ones i download it. Can you provide me with a direct URL to download the 3.15.15 + 4.16 ROM and will they replace the 3.16.13 Version.
Please advise
Thanks

Interesting. Can you tell me which site you been to that you manage
to upgrade your qtek before?
Sure ,
a while ago you could have found it on www.qtek.dk but for an unkown reason they have removed its link from the main page now you can find here:
http://qtek.dk/software/
Enjoy
:wink:
be careful how you give information
Hi,
Please be very careful how you give out information.
You have screwed up I believe many people who got
their device frozen and cannot be used after trying to
upgrade the ROM and Radio Stack from the website
you provide without warning people of the serious
damage it could cause if the Rom & Radio Stack
upgrade is not from the same source.
It is good that you are trying to help people but I hope
you could continue doing it BUT please give a complete
and proper advise. Hope you get my message.

One of the victim
I expect people who buy this device to have a certain amount of IQ. Everybody knows flashing them IS dangerous, so they should know as much as possible on the item.
Before I flashed the device for the first time, I've already read EVERYTHING which is in the ROM Upgrade forum and everything which mentions ROM on this site. I knew which is the best, I knew where to get it, I knew I can screw it up and I knew how to NOT screw it.
It's peoples fault if they brick their units.
i dont know where to start with this but i should agree with Zviratko 100%
we expect people who buy this devices to have a certain amount of IQ and knowledge most of us here are pros.
Please understand that if you dont know what you are dealing with dont bother doing it. Read all the forums and pages of Xda-developers they contain the biggest archives about those products, learn then apply.
Zviratko is one of these important resources learn from him i know i did!

Re qtek 1010 rom update
could you please tell me where you got your rom update from. I have been tearing my hair off trying to get the right update. Some genius upgraded using the O2 upgrade and killed his QTEK.
i have an O2 XDA.
ROM Version: 3.02.00 GER
ROM Date: 05/27/02
I want to update to the new SER v.12 but have no idea how to do so.
Can anybody please help me?
Read this http://www.xda-developers.com/SER/ first
then, check out the thread/topic about SER 1.2, the thing you probably need/want is XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe, posted somewhere in that topic. Just download and execute, the programme will guide you
enjoy
thank you
but is ist safe to install this rom. i have heard that some xda´s are destroyed if you install it.
what requirements does my xda need if i want to install version 1.2
Flashing ROM is not too dangerous - Radio part (the 1.5MB file) is worse
if you just follow the instructions you should be safe
I just bought the xda yesterday. So if i download the XDA-developers-SER-v1.2.exe to my xda and execute it, its gonna delete the old rom version and upgrade to the new one? I really have to be careful because i don't wanna kill my device.
if i update to ser v.1.2 do i have to update my radio part or can i leave it the old way.
You can download SER1.2 .exe file from http://www.uspocketpcphone.com/temporary.htm
I am not an expert on this thing, but using the exe is not difficult.
It's a lot and alot better the the original ROM for my XDA.
Happy trying. Make sure to follow instruction though.
how do i execute the file once it is on my xda. what am i gonna do next?
You execute it on the computer... you did not read the articles, did you?
i have read the whole article. but why do i execute SER1.2 .exe on my computer and not on the xda? how do i get it on the xda?
please be patient with me....maybe i am retarded
You don't need to do anything on your xda. Executing the file on your pc automatically beams it to Activesync and then installs it on xda. Sounds easy enough...? It is!!
i thank you the utmost!!!i finally got it.ser1.2 is running without any problems and i even got rid of the annoying simlock wich would have cost me 150€.
you are awesome...thanks a lot

I did pull it from the Artemis and I'm redoing it now. You're right it don't work but it doesn't brick. I looked at the size and the Hex Dump of both and they are similar. The Artemis ROM even had the G3 and G4 IPL and SPL when I decoded the ROM. I had so much hope but no go.
I was considering the Excalibur ROM as well but its bigger than the Prophet/Wizard radio ROMs. I'm more apt Prophet/Wizard Radios are usually around 2.5MB. The Excalibur ROM is 2.8MB. Not sure the the dedicated Radio space on the Prophet but the difference is just enough to brick.
I've already decoded it. If some one wants to try the Excalibur I'll post it.
i dun mind trying excalibur as well.. but redo the artemis 1st. i'll try again once u finish.. if u look at the post in artemis forum it says 2.67 got good battery life.. dat i want!! lol..
Confirming the radio rom does not work as well on my S200
I've created a G3 version for my S200 but it's not working, doesn't find the provider any longer, I'll play around some more, but a no go so far.

I'm the same place after re-extracting it from the Artemis ROM. I'm going to wrap the Excalibur ROM. It'll be posted soon. Anyone wanting to try it, Have fun.
i've changed the header info a bit, but that doesnt seem to help either
Let's try the next ROM

OK everyone, this one is built from the Excalibur ROM. For all the brave souls:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Prophet_G4_RadioRom_v2.63.9 0_Test.exe
I do see that the other ROM was removed so...
If you post a G3 radio rom, I can try it on my Qtek S200...

Radio rom upgrade problem!
I upgraded my s200 RadioROM to 2.63.90. Now my Phone lost Radio Rom and lost the GSM signal. The phone become very slow and con't activesync to the pc. I have try but can't upgrade any other rom now! Can someone help me?
I had the same problem! After radio update, Prophet does not connect to the PC anymore. I,ve managed the problem with the following steps, take them exactly:
1. Download the linked file and extract it in a known place: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Wizard/2_47_11_radio.rar
2. Disconnect Prophet from the USB cable;
3. Enter in the boot loader mode (press power button + camera button in the same time and hit reset);
4. Connect the cable and in the left down corner the USB name will apear;
5. Go to the directory that you extracted from the downloaded file and start ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe (is in itallian, but there are the usual steps for upgrading ROM, so I think you'll manage).
After this, hopefully the upgrade Radio ROM process will start!
I'll repet myself, follow exactly this steps with attached file, this was my way and the only that worked for me!
P.S. Someone should delete the 2.63.90 Radio ROM file from th Prophet FTP, is dangerous and brakes your Prophet!
Thanks very much! My Phone has come back!

Radio 2.63.90 removed.
The Radio 2.63.90 has been removed. It is incompatible the Prophet. I'm going to continue to research these Roms. Thanx for the input.
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend just bought me a Cingular 8525 last month and it came with the stock ROM which is 1.34.502.1, I would like to upgrade it to a newer version or even WM6. I have been reading the Wiki and searching the forum for the last two weeks and now I think i'm ready for the flashing, but would like some clarification from you guys before I go flash my phone. From what I understand, these are some steps I need to do:
1) HardSPL has more advantages over SuperCID, so I'll go with HardSPL by doing this guide
2) Since I have Radio version 1.16.00.00, I want to upgrade it to this 1.38.00.10 version. I don't know how to check my HTC_BOOT, I tried to do this, but it gives me the massage : Command Error. However, from reading the Wiki I believe my HTC_BOOT is 107. Here pof said "This radio has HTC_BOOT 0108", does this mean after I upgrade my HTC_BOOT will be 108
3) then just download any ROM or WM6 ROM and upgrade it using ActiveSync
please help me out and thank you very much for reading.
By the way, after I upgrade does the Extended ROM stay the same as the stock version.
Thank you
well this is what i did, i just got my 8525 today...superCID and HardSPL, i did both of them, dont know why, dont know if i had to, but i just did it...then i installed WM6(XDA-Live) and then i wanted to update to the new radio ROM, so i did the hardspl 1.10oli, and then ran the update for the new radio...i dont know if i took the long way and did extra steps, but what ever i did, it worked...
Hello mates,
I updated my i-mate Jasjar to WM6.1 ROM by Ranju and a few others. The update is successful and everything works fine but my cellular connection just doesn't work. My sim card (smartchip) is not detected. Ranju's ROM doesn't let me open the communication manager. Another ROM stays forever on flight mode and I can't even change it.
I live in India just for the record if the Smartchips in India might make a difference. I'm totally clueless on what to do.
Couldn't find any post relevant to this.
Please help.
Thanks and regards,
Aditya More.
my bet would be a radio rom incompatibility, but im not sure.
what radio are you using? it seems that higher wm6 builds require certain radios or something.
no clue what a radio is..
Radio rom. It's part of uni software that is responsible for gsm module (and everything related). You can flash your radio rom the same way you flash any rom. Just use flashing software (ROMUpgradeUT). Though you will need radio_.nbf instead of nk.nbf when flashing radio.
Thanks a ton for that information. I'm pretty new with this.
So well, which radio should I use for my i-mate jasjar? Where can I download it?
Is there like a setup file for radio flashing? Using ROMUpgradeUT would be a little difficult for me. Do I have to flash this file in bootloader mode?
Thanks,
Aditya More.
Download radio here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Radio/
Personally I would recommend 1.18.00. I'm using this one currently, and is working just fine. Though, you can just experiment a little with different radio roms, and find which one is working best with your device.
Actually ROMUpgradeUT IS something like a setup to flash your device, and there is no easier way to flash device. Only thing you need is to place ROMUpgradeUT somewhere along with radio_.nbf and run ROMUpgradeUT.
Anyway just read this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade ,and there should not be any problems for you (at least with flashing).
Also, make sure to spend some time reading universal wiki, if you are new for Windows Mobile and uni.
It's working guys.
@cheapusenet: if it weren't for you, I'd have been still stuck with the bootloader screen. Thanks a ton. I really really appreciate your help man. Really. Thanks for the radio info too.
@Kalgon5: The radio info was very useful. wiki Universal is my homepage. I go through it every single day. But just didn't any clue about radio and flashing. Pretty new. Anyway, thanks a lot. Really appreciate your help.
@Luca: the ROM rules. Very fast, awesome applications, good battery life. Thanks.
