Hi all,
I was really happy to recieve my qtek s200 about a month ago.
I don't wan't to ***** and complain a whole lot about the s200, as it generally is a nice phone and overall good improvement over my previous qtek 2020 from some years ago. A few minor querks could be the low volume and placement of the power on/off button, but nothing I can't live with.
This post, however, is just to hear if anyone else feels, as I do, disappointed due to the fact that you are not able to change the roms, as easily, as you might have come to expect from HTC devices.
Come on! I buy a WM5 device for well over £350, and then I DO EXPECT that things will run smoothly, including rom upgrades. But, no! I for one am really dissappointed. I cannot flash any roms, that are available, outside those "soon to be comming" from the place I purchased. I am still waitning.
I-mate seems, however, to support their customers well, but qtek will not even recognise my IMIE number from the reseller where I bought my phone.
So now I have the option to either wait or pay extra to get a danish rom on my qtek s200! What will they think of next?! I can only say that I am beginning to loose faith in qtek and HTC for that matter.
Please prove me wrong :roll:
Kind regards,
Gnuig

You bought a Qtek! What did you expect? Didn't you do any research before purchase? We *always* have had to jump through vendor id hoops with HTC devices to load different vendor roms, just because someone writes a tool to get around this easily doesn't mean it actually is easy! and Qtek are *well known* for their lack of support - it's a reason often given why their devices are cheaper to purchase than i-mate. Moan about Qtek, not about HTC - they didn't make you buy a Qtek product.....and in future buy an i-mate, or JAFWM to load roms more easily or search for the leaked roms when they become available from Qtek.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for you post. I do see your point... I guess a more correct title for this topic could have been:
IMHO HTC messed up the qtek s200 -> IMHO QTEK messed up the prophet!
I do however, compared to my previously good experience with the qtek 2020, feel that HTC still made the device... so as to allow QTEK to lock it "more" from the other brand names i.e. i-mate, jafwm etc.
I do agree, I should have read more on the Qtek s200 before buying and xda-dev does a good job informing and all, yet it is difficult for anyone (especially a nob) to find just the right post... telling you NOT TO BUY the QTEK S200, if you hope for good support on a prophet.
Living in Denmark, I actually believe that Dangaard Data (qtek distributer) does give good support, just not on qtek's purchased abroad. I have learned from my mistakes, and still would say, IF EVER, I was to buy another WM5 device, I will only buy from a shop in Denmark... we also get 2 years service, which don't think you get abroad as a standard.
Anyway, you could be right about qtek on the average. I just whish I had purchased mine 1) either in Denmark og 2) NOT AT ALL.
Back to my Nokia 9500 for now.
Cheers,
Gnuig
I don't get it. Why do you want to change ROMs all the time? -- And why would that be such a strong determining factor in you choosing not to use the device, especially since, as you say, it's actually an improvement over your 2020?
Personally, I'm waiting patiently for the next official S200 ROM update from Qtek. I love my S200!

Hi to Ricardo and all.
It works !!
I could now make the shift from Qtek s200 English to Danish.
This is what I have been looking for in 3 weeks, because the Qtek-service in Denmark is not working until (last time I looked at www.qtek.dk ) the 18th of april.
Thanks very much !

Good points, but then again as HTC own Qtek its also fair to have a go at HTC.

Now that Crossbow is on other devices, any chance someone can mod it for Artemis?? Please.
I second that
I third that! Please o Please great geniuses!
Though i am not an expert, i really doubt that this is possible?! It was also not possible to get WM5 on WM2003 Devices... but i will be glad to be proven wrong

Technically it would be possible.
But we all depend on the manufacturers. If they don't supply us with upgrades, there's no way we can upgrade. So asking for it is of no use.

You could look to the magician forum and the number of threads there sugesting the release or possible release of the WM 5 update for the Magician.
But it never came.
If it comes it wil. There's no point to ask for is if it comes out it wil be on this site and forum. Its just foolish jiberish to keep asking for it. Its the same as all the people asking for an hack for the Hero devivce to enable wifi. But its simply not possible. But there are already 20 threads suggesting it....

yea! who are u to decide weather this thread is to be closed or not!!!
If u are not open enough to discussions, then what is the meaning of u hanging around in this forum!
Today, my cousin had just installed the WM6.0 in his O2 Xda MiniS, and when i saw it, i was thrilled! its super fast! it looks real cool, and the contacts, dialer and inbox are wonderful!
only thing is it requires Activesync 4.50 beta to sync.
The WM6.0 is testing roms are out for the Universal and the Mini S, and soon i hope someone comes up for the Artemis too!
Yeah, if ya don't ask, ya don't get!! Somebody might be sat at home with the rom we want, thinking no one else is bothered, so they keep it to themselves. I know there is several differences between Artemis & Phophet, but might it be possible to flash with 1 of there Roms?? Just asking!!?? No need to bite my head off, Manners cost nothing.
WHEN USERS HAVE MDA COMPACT THEY NEEDS WM2005
WHEN THEY HAVE MDA C3 THEY NEEDS CROSSBOW
IT IS FUNNY
and i need im my pda windows vista
or xp will be good
pleas help
as far as i know this device only accepts signed code in roms....so unless some one cracks the boot loader you will never be able to flash a custom rom...
in another hand .....i heard that there is a a test crossbow rom for your device,being tested by internal testers.....but this roms rarely see the light of the day.... but you never know.

We are close to that in Artemis... they should be able soon
The HTC Wizard + HTC Universal (which are designed as WM5 devices) have WM6 ROMs so.. there's a really BIG chance that the HTC Artemis will get the WM6 update too..
WM6 a.k.a. Crossbow is just a ROM that has some updates + new theme..
Why is it called WM6 then? Cuz people are bored and they're really waiting for some NEW sh*t! It just counts as a lil entertainment for us while we're waiting.
“Crossbow” (Q4 ‘06)
- Great mobile messaging
- Advanced Business and Enterprise propositions
- Strengthened phone experience
- Faster, easier application development and distribution
- Q1/Q2 ‘07 Marketing Launch
“Photon” (Q4 ‘07)
- New, Flexible Shell
- Modular Containers
- “Yamazaki” CE kernel
- Q1/Q2 ’08 Marketing Launch
Conclusion WM6 = WM5 + Plus!
will \wm6 crossbow (wwe) for htc wizard v5.2.660 work?
I was wondering, once there is ROM available for P3300 based on Crossbow "WM6", for this to be lfashed and updated to newer WM will I also need to CID unlock the phone first, as I am unable to flash other ROMs as of now.
Frankly speeking, ~$40 is steep price for unclocking, around $20 would be OK (please consider this ... to unlockers)

If a update is released by your manufacturer you would not need to unlock but if for instance you have a t-mobile phone and dopod comes with wm6, and you want to use that rom you would have to cid unlock.
Had this reply from Dopod Australia's support yesterday to me enquiry "Hi, I was wondering if there were any plans to release Windows Mobile 6 for the p800w in the near future?":
Hi,
It might be possible. We are waiting for Microsoft to inform us about this.
We will keep you posted.
Thanks.

If and when you do a search on Google, you will most likely find website that will unlock your machine for about $7
Not saying that this will work on yours, but if you really want to be on the safe(save) side, just pay the $40 and you'll be 100% sure that it works.
As you can read on MS website
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx
Today microsoft has launched Windows mobile 6.1
i also read this news on an italian portal (pockepcitalia) but theu say that HTC will release the update only for the TYTN II....
but why?
So the best feature IMO the sliding panel, is missing from the touch screen version of WM 6.1 nice
Well that link is for smartphone anyways,
but yes, pda 6.1 isn't that much of an upgrade, while smartphone version is.
that's my opinion, too
WM6.1 on PDAs is not more than a facelift.

No, WM6.1 more faster then WM6.0
And more stability.

You may be right on this. I also realized, that WM6.1 seems to have
optimized kernel and so be faster in response. So i confirm, that WM6.1
also in my opinion is "better" than WM6.0. My former statement of the
facelift was regarding to the optical appearance of WM6.1 on PDA devices
in comparison to the optical improvements of the Smartphone version.
Hope that made it clear
Olioaglio
As you can see there aren't that many updates from 6.0 to 6.1. But everything can run faster and better. (Hope so)

I rebooted my Orbit2 about one time per week.
I think 1-2 day enoght for stability of all cashes and good time for testing.
