You may use any ROM Updgrade, you may even want to cook your own ROM, but please do not think of performing a radio stack upgrade if your present radio is working well and giving you a trouble free service.

Hi guys,
I 'm in same situation but with higher versions, and can hardly wait to get a new 2003 ROM.
I can't just play with my XDA as I use it all the time for work and it's pretty stable so far. I just also can't tell that the ROM is 'totally' separate from the RUU in WM2003.
So the question is: is there any one here who has gone through a 2003 upgrade for Qtek 1010 to tell us his thoughts after the upgrade ?
I read a lot about the stability of 4.00.16 ENG, but all been written was for O2 R4.21 or T-Mobile R6.xx. Did any one in this region (Mid East) with R 3.2x went into this upgrade ? and what is the current status ?
Thanx all ....

Latest ...
I tried upgrading to 4.00.11 ENG from the kitchen ... no matter how many trys it just restarts and gives the same error message "Can't open USB/com port ..." ...
Do I miss anything ??

more update ...
Tried to cook the new ROM as .nb1 file and used Xdatools from the kitchen to flash my device .... same result :? :evil:
Is it possible that there is a ROM protection on my XDA ??? :shock:

Hi Biso007,
Look at the IDIOTS GUIDE at:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3171
and follow the instructions thoroughly one by one and you can't go wrong, it did work for me, I was in the same situation.

Samohile - Thanks. It is good advice to not mess with the radio if you can help it.
My only problem is that my device periodically shuts off. Then pressing the power button soft boots it. I cant tell for sure but it seems that this happens after an incoming or missed call. It seems that other friends using ROM 3.18.04 and Radio 3.25.01 (like our friend biso007 here) seem to have very stable systems.
I can try upgrading the ROM only and see what happens but the information at www.carrierdevices.com seems to imply that both ought to be upgraded at the same time. I notice it is an Australian site. Does that matter? Also, the version of the radio upgrade is a bit confusing, at least from its name. (Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe] ). I wonder what this RSUv1.15 translates into since the name of the exe file for the ROM is nicely descriptive of the version (3.18.04).
Any advice in this would be very welcome..

Well i am using WM2003 4.00.11 and its working fine for me no problem i cooked in the kitchen you just need to read arround this great forum for a whgile on topics such as upgrades and ROM to know exactly what you are dealing with and then you will able to upgrade smoothly.
:wink:

Hi ARZLEB
I read lots and lots about upgrade lessons but none of them worked for me .... I got an advice to use SD card with bootloader as it's the only working way. Now I wonder why the EXE method was created!!
I see that u got the 4.00.11 working. Did u upgrade it using EXE or SD card. Any help would be so appreciated ... thnx

Well i used the EXE methode the file i cooked in the Kitchen but i didnt change the version i left as 3 at the bottom of the page it works fine i upgraded from 3.XX to 4.XX then i downgraded from 4.00.11 to 4.00.05 then upgraded again all using EXE format so far working great.
i will be honest with you i know about the SD methode very well but never tried it so u have to make more search on this issue.
If you need anything more plz message me anytime and i will be more then whilling to help you step by step...

Faisal sorry for very late reply.
I have flashed my Qtek (bought in Abu Dhabi) with several versions of roms cooked in kitchens (Jeff's and Stefans's), but I have finally settled with ATT release wm2003 Siemens SX56 upgrade. It comes with most of the bugs fixed (except multiple reset bug) and is quite stable. I almost never have to reset it. You can flash the ROM only by SD card method though. You can try it. It's always a good idea to flash using SD card method. USB method using ProgramA is not very safe. I guess the network in Pakistan is compatible with the one in the UAE, so you can safely use it, if you don't mess up with the Radio Stack. My Radio is 3.23.01 and I have no problems with that.

AT&T SX56 with Weird ROM

I have the AT&T SX56 with
ROM VERSION : A.20.11 ENG
ROM DATE: 3/3/03
RADIO VERSION: A.20.05
PROTOCOL VERSION: 324e4
I tried the XDAunlock tool and it didnt work,
the boot screen shows pocket pc 2002,
So i Dont understand why im getting the "Error getting unlock code"
can anybody tell me if i need to downgrade first, or upgrade, or what!!
my steps are to:
Get the Unlock Code and also Unlock the Phone
then Upgrade to Pocket PC 2003
Any help would be appreciated!

Sometimes the XDAunlock tool didn't work for SX-56 especially with A20 ROM ... it's better to flash your ROM using SER v1.2 and it will unlock your xda with the first boot ... then you can upgrade later to WM2003

That did the trick....
A20 seems to be a newer version of 2002 and does not work well with XDA unlock...
for those of you looking to unlock your phones out there...USE THE XDA SER 1.2 (Special Edition Rom)...
It will Downgrade your Rom to version 3 (dont be affraid of the word downgrade, its painless) and once it restarts, it will ask you to unlock, and VOILA... you are ready to roll
Thanks XDA Dev Team, you guys Rock...
Now we just need a 850Mhz hack, and us Cingular users will be set

downgrade the radio stack?

i have upgraded my radio stack to version to ver 6.24.00 but now my sim doesnt work anymore (no radio connection anymore ) so now i want to downgrade back to the old version. I upgraded because i wanted to unlock but now i cant even use my 02 prepaid ... i need help

i have a xda 1 from o2 germany locked with rom version 3.1.9.01,

You have used the wrong radio Stack. 6.xx are for PW10B-Models (US-Version) with 900/1900 MHz Network receipient.
You have to use a 4.xx ROM, i would say. Check the Rear sticker of your device.
What is shown in Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information ?
You shoud be able to fix it by doing this:

If your device is already booting to the today screen you should dismiss steps 1 + 2....
Stefan

thanx for caring... ive downgraded it back to radioversion 4.21.00, it took the hole night but it works again...but i still want to remove the f...ing simlock, but now i am a bit scared...
ok, here the requested data
rom 3.19.01 GER
rom date 05/27/03
Radio 4.21.00
Protocol version 32S54

i know i should be a new topic but i am trying to save server space...
ive got a gps device connected to my beloved XDA 1 (as mentioned above) and the instructions tells me to unlock (ge i hate this word!!!) the com port on my device, so heres my new question, can i unlock it and where can i do this, i havent found a menue to do this...can soneone send me a walkthrough?

For unlocking the device i would suggest to install XDA Developers ROM Version 1.2
For "unlocking" COM1 you have to disable infrared/beam in the settings....
Stefan

Tx Stefan
ok Gps is working fine...
is it save to change the rom? what do i have to consider?

I have a similar problem. My XDA has a rom version that I couldnt find on the list. That is 4.01.16 ENG. Is that normal?
And also I tried to update radio verdion to 4.21.00 but after updating the programme B i couldnt load programme A. When I plug the sim card MY XDA locks and i have to reset it. So i cannot use it as a phone. What can I do?

you need to unlock CID FIRST....to be able to install any rom.
here is how to...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

You mean i use this ROM: ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
To unlocked CID and then i try using any order Rom to flash my qtek 9100

No pal,
You use LokiWiz (on this forum) to unlock CID and THEN you can flash Roms of another brand (like Qtek, or T-Mobile).
Good luck,
Molski.
p.s. I am not sure if 2.17 Roms can be CID unlocked already (for free, there is a paid solution).

Can u send me the lokiwiz and how to to used it.THANKS

as was before stated.. how about read the link he gave you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
within that link you will see:

u have to downgrade as in the link i posted above then run lokiwiz .02, read my son.....read

Do i have to pay to get unlock first.

Still need help.what should i do.

hi dmoney, I'm having the same problem that you are. Lokiwiz just doesn't seem to CID unlock new 9100's, I get the same error [300] message that you do. Hopefully somebody will crack it soon, otherwise we're stuck with the roms that we have.

There is a newer version of lokiwiz then 0.2b...you need to get the latest version.

Please help this newbie...:D
