ROM updates / whats new in them?

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

)
use 3.15.15 + 4.16

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.

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.

Please Recommend Update for qtek 1010

Hi guys.
Can any one help me on my decision on upgrading my Qtek 1010 to the special Edition ROM 1.2 found in this site? I just want to know if it will not destroy my Phone. Here are the details:
ROM VER: 3.14.06 ENG
ROM DATE: 10/01/02
RADIO VER: T313
PROTOCOL VER: 32S54
NETWORK LOCK : GLOBE TELECOM
Thank you. More power.

SER 1.2 is perfect for unlocking, but if your device is already unlocked why don't you go to a WM2003 ROM ?

Hi j2villar
The ROM upgrade in the kitchen will not dammage the phone part of your Qtech 1010, but it my prevent your Qtech to start if the upgrade process goes wrong.
I have 3 points to your questions as I was having this kind of principle questions 4-6 weeks ago.
1. This forum states all over the place that there are risks associated with upgrade, as with any PC's in the old days! This is especially the case with RUU update more than the PDA side of it.
My personal finding are: Mistakes come from people who did not read enough on this forum :roll: , people who did not apply the basic principles of backing up there original RUU and ROM prior to running the upgrade :evil: .
My recommendation is play as much as you want with your ROM, Do not touch the RUU unless you feel you really need it.
2. Although XDATOOLS allows you to make upgrade without going through the SD CARD and BOOT LOADER, I recommend you to make the investment of an extra SD card (one for the backup, one for loading the new rom) + a USB read+write device.
This is a recommendation that you will find all around the place in this forum.
Try searching with: SD CARDS or BOOTLOADER
3. Same as Biso007, why go the Special Rom Edition which is quite limited compared to the flexibility of a own made kitchen ROM. (If the difference is not all crystal clear to you, it is very surely an indicator that you have not yet build up sufficient knowledge about this general topics to clear you from any possible problem when upgrading.
The Kitchen I use to cook my ROMs is the one of LumpyStephan (which is going to be updated soon I think) try: http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ :twisted:
Now should you want to increase your global understanding, I have personally found the web site associated to this forum it has a lot of FAQ and well described process http://wiki.xda-developers.com

THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERT ADVICE I JUST TAKE HOLD OF THIS PDA PHONE LAST MONTH AND I HAVE READ WIKI'S SITE.
THANKS FOR SPENDING TIME TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. MORE POWER

Updating My Phone

Ok, I work with phones day in day out as i repair them... but i find this site has so much useful information, that nothing is infact in one place... and if it is, then it has a million comments that suggest otherwise.
So, i thought i would firmware update my phone as i've seen a few reviews that have sped up the phone and overal useage of it.
At present, my phone has the following:
Qtek 9100
Rom 1.1.7.5
Rom date: 9/22/05
Radio: 01.01.10
Protocol: 4.0.13.16
ExtRom: 1.1.7.105
So what do I download, what do I install and what do I do prior to it... Backups?
Are there any stickies to suggest backing up and how to install?
Any information would be grateful, as I would like to do this today after work.
On top of this, any information on how I could install MMS, GPRS would too be appreciated, I need t-mobile UK settings. I know about ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/HTC_Wizard/ so if anyone could step-by-step explain this and then maybe put this thread on a sticky so that other newbies as far as this phone is concerned could be helped without feeling nervous in doing it (and getting it wrong because of it!)
Thanks in advance

well?

Want daddy to hold your hand while you do this?

well if it means saving a phone that cost over £600 then sure...
this is not just for me, i am sure a sticky explaining step by step upgrade/backing up will help numerous people including me.
not everyone is as rich as you who can afford to test and possibly lose an expensive phone such as this... and if you think i am judging then you should too stop judging on the basis that i want to be spoon fed.
at the end of the day, not everyone knows clearly on how to do this as there are so many threads.
so am i going to recieve help here or am i wasting my time with comments such as fone_fanatic?

hello akash84
try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386
i read through the whole thread before fiddling around with my wizard. you can find all the tools and instructions there.
reminders:
charge your device before attempting an update [people say above 50% is ok]
also manually copy and run enablerapi.cab on your ppc. to ensure that operations with the tool works.
good luck with your update

its all quite simple realy...
first off unlock your phone fully (CID as well) this ensures any updates will not **** up your phone.
http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,view/id,8012/catid,45/
insructions and file is there ^^^ very simple to do. (its the second post on that site.)
Next after youve unlocked, go on the ftp server for this site
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Upload...RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe
^^^ this is the latest ROM for t-mobile vario UK. this upgrades your radio rom so you get better signal and also updates the extended rom which makes the phone react a lil faster.
This install take about 20 mins, it will wipe everything off your phone even your contacts. Also very easy to do just follow on screen instructions.
Everyone posts about backup your data but i didnt realy need it because i just got the phone and i had nothing special on it, and im a dare. :twisted:
Once youve done this then your basicly done.
i also suggest downloading a free registry editor
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml
i use this one. and do the following registry hacks after the install.
This changes the ugly tmobile dial pad to windows default:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35631&highlight=dial+pad
This enables the GPS control panal youll need this if you want to run a GPS device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36540
this shows an on screen character to notify you when caps lock or secondary function is enabled on the keypad, very usefull:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38337&highlight=registry
thats about it realy any probs just post

Thank you
Thank you akash84! I've been looking around for a post just like this, a more of a step by sted guide, anyways...
Does anyone know how to change my keyboard into norwegian (if it's possible at all)?
I have a Qtek 9100 (Italian, which I will be changing to ENG after reading trough the links above)
ROM: 1.3.7.16 ITA
Date ROM: 10/24/05
Radio ver.: 01.04.10
Protocol: 4.0.13.17
Ver. ExtROM 1.3.7.107
And which ROM/ExtROM (someone please explain the difference) should I upgrade to (Qtek)?
Thanks...

Advice On Upgrading My XDA 11i Please.

Yes as you can guess yet another newbie to all this stuff..... I a hoping that there is a nice XDA knowledgable person out there in Cyber land who can advise me on if its safe to upgarde my XDA IIi please.
My pda has this written in the device information:-
ROM version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM Date: 01-27-05
Radio Version: 1.04.00
Protocol Version:1337.42
ExtROM Version: 1.11.162 WWE
I have downloaded from the XDA ftp ste this Program:-
Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed
A Friend has told me that they used this program and there unit worked a lot better than before, but also warned me to be very careful as you could very easily kill your xda. So I suppose my question is, can I use it to upgrade and if there are any dangers for me to aware of before having a go.
Sorry for my total lack of any knowledge about this but I really hope that there is someone who could advise me.
Many thanks
JG

Hi there
There is always a chance that things could go wrong - a power cut for instance.
However, I'm an IT Manager, and this was new to me last year too - I just read about peoples experiences and read and re-read the instructions....
The hardest thing was getting the XDA2i to go into programming mode - but that was because I didn't think it had the first time I did it.
Once that occurred it was fairly simple. Your heart is in your mouth when you reset it after it has finished being upgraded but it is well worth you doing it...

1. It's safe to up ROM to your XDA IIi. I have one and did upgrading many times.
2. Due to your device information, it is quite same as "Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed". Just as Pug and someone have informed: "O2 camera patch has no good quality", so Pug Remove this patch from Original Rom.
3. Just plug your XDA IIi into cradle, run MAUpgrade_noID.exe, follow the instructions and watch movie. After it finish, try to taste it yourself. It is easy as run setup.exe in your computer. And remember, if your upgrade fails, put your XDA IIi into bootloader mode (press Power, Action and Soft-Reset at same time), and do thing follow '3. Just plug ...' .
Have fun.

it did not fail on me, it just hung for a while, then i had to close it using task manager, then run it again, you MUST NOT TOUCH OR UNPLUG YOUR PHONE, before you run it again, it will say there is nothing on the phone then update the bios, i left it for 30mins before i worked that out, i was expecting a "cannot upgrade, flash failed" promte but it just hangs.

i need your help plz make this to me

this is my Qtek 9100 version in ita i wanted to downgrade or upgrade the rom in english
Rom Version: 2.18.7.3
Rom Date : 2/14/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
Protocol version : 413.1.03
Extended rom version :2.18.7.103
plz tell how can i downgrade the rom of Qtek 9100 or send me the upgrade link of the latest rom version in english

I would advise you to first of all carefully read the 'stickies' in the Wizard forum (including the rules on posting).
Your device:
You must determine whether your device is G3/G4 by checking your IPL/SPL.
You need to establish whether you device is CID unlocked.
Once you have done that that you can then decide how your are going to change the ROM. If you have a G3 you can CID unlock it very easily with information and tools on this forum. If it's a G4 you will most likely have to use Shell Tools.
You should ahve no problem finding an English ROM. You may even consider putting windows mobile 6 on it. There are many links to many different ROMs on this forum . . . but most importantly understand that you must read very, very carefully all of the instructions at your disposal, else you may end up with a bricked (broken) device. No one else will take reponsibility for your device, so make sure you know as much as possible before you attempt to try anything which will invalidate your warranty, or kill your device!
The tools to do what I have described above, and the information to do so, is available within the stickies on the Wizard forum. If you are stuck use the search button at the top of the screen - if you right click it and open it in another window you will get advanced search which will allow you to specify your search in a certain Wizard forum.
Good luck.
