Newegg has unlocked cingular 8100 phones for $149. I would have put a link but I can't since I am a new user. (to find it search "htc 8100" on the newegg website)
I picked one up and unfortunately WM5 aku 2 doesn't allow me to connect to the WPA-AES wifi where I work. I have done a lot of searching and if I can cook a rom with aku 3 or later this will fix my issue.
Can anyone give me some recommendations on how to take the default rom and apply the latest aku to it?
Thanks
Edit1:
I found the tutorials on how to dump the ROM so I am going to have to wait for my sd card to arrive before I can proceed. I also might have found a cab file for the aku3.3 on the ftp site. I will probably read up on what exactly I need to do to apply the aku 3.3 later.
first check if you have a g3 or g4 device. then get the correct hard spl then apply it. then cid unlock. then flash the rom of your choice. if you need any help feel free to pm me.

Hi
I'm running an O2 ROM cooked up at Yorch's kitchen. However, decided to try out the Qtek 3.18.04 based on the link posted by Othman since my device is (or was, once upon a time) a Qtek...
However, I'm unable to install the Qtek upgrade on this rom on account of version or model conflict. Downloaded AdaptROM once more (thinking my version was corrupt) but running it before the upgrade programme does not seem to help at all.
Has anybody else experienced the same?
if you took a backup of the org rom you got with the device you should put that back on and then run the upgrade
hmmm
I've changed roms so many times that I cant remember the original version, let alone have a copy of it.... let me dig around here and find if there's a link to the one Othman originally posted...
Hi guys
Just a quick question and I hope you guys can answer me.
I have got the MDA Vario with T-Mobile and have upgraded the ROM to 2.17.7.2 WWE (this is the Qtek Rom) and it works just great.
My question is, however, can I downgrade this ROM to the original T-Mobile ROM it came with?
I am wondering since I want to send the phone back to T-Mobile but am worried if they see I have upgraded it they will not take it back.
Please help.
Thanks kindly
You'll need to use lokiwiz to unlock the device and then reinstall the opriginal ROM. As you have an AKU2 ROM you'll need to downgrade the ROm first to an old custom QTEk ROM and then run lokiwiz to unlock then re-install the ROM. There s along post on this forum or the upgrade forum on how to do this. There are alos posts re putting the device back into it's original state if you need to ship it back to a vendor - can't find them just now but would suggest you trawl the forums... painful though it may be
Hey thanks loads. I have looked around to try and find how to restore everything but can't find it yet. I'll carry on looking but if you can suddenly remember where they are I'd appreciate it
Also, do I have to downgrade the QTek ROM first, or can I just install the T-Mobile ROM straight away?
Thanks again

Does it matter that the link above looks like it is for US? I have UK T-Mobile
DaveyG th solution is explained at http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...IBwAAABi/2UG&bcsi_scan_filename=viewtopic.php
If you want a TMo UK ROM got ot the TMo UK Site http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
Thanks JoninLA, the phone is unlocked using Loki already as that is how I upgraded the ROM, but I will make sure I have unlocked it and then install the original ROM from the T-Mobile site.
Thanks so much again, now I should be able to send it back, providing it all works...
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....

Hi,been using ppc/pda etc for a long time but taking a different route and needed help on the best setup.i bought a cingular 8125 from the states and it should be here any moment now :lol: I'm on T-mob. Would like to change the ROM to the fastest and most stable one possible but with the O2 album program (for some reason I like it) and Tmob MMS settings??? Is this all possible (obviously I'll unlock it for my Tmob sim,any need of CID unlock?? ).Anyone got any suggestions pls. Need help definitely!!! :? Thanx.
For your case, I won't suggest you do a ROM upgrade yet. You can hard reset your device, exclude the installation of the Ext ROM. Find, from this web site, the Ext ROM of O2 and you should be able to get the 'album' (whatever it is) thing you mentioned.
And, for MMS settings, you may check on the net for Tmobile UK settings, if you are able to find that in your phone. If not, you need to dig for the MMS setup CAB file from the Tmobile Ext ROM.
You should not need to CID unlock your phone unless you are trying to do an 'unofficial' ROM upgrade/flash.
yes, I also suggest looking the FTP for the MMS cab for UK, if its there, I never really paid attention for the UK cab
Thanx for the advice.Question here : is there anything in particular that I miss when not installing the ext rom after the hard reset? What does that part usually contain out of interest?
Everyone here has a TyTN, and I bought a SoftBank X01HT before finding this site, as it was advertized as the same phone, with only two keys with japanees letters on it. When I got it, all it came with is non english cd, and it originaly had wm5 in Japanees The seller put somesort of WM6 into it, ROM ver 3.23.0.2 ROM date 01/04/07 Radio ver 1.16.00.00 Protocol ver 32.53.7018.01H
I have contacted Microsoft, and ALL of there distributers for smartphones, HTC, and my carrier. ALL of them say they can not provide me with an original english WM6 ROM so I have a stable readable base with which to try new roms from HTC even said that the softbank is not the same as the TyTN for ROMS, so is this true? Am I screewed now from buying this softbank instead of a TyTN or a cingular 8525?? Or does anybody else have one of these, and can give me some guidance of how I should proceed from here with this perticular phone model, to get to a stable english ROM installed as a back up. So I don't have to reset it, and have it go to the original Japanees Rom if something goes wrong.
Or is this a unusable junk version of the HTC TyTN, and I sould try to offload it?
Any help on this would be AWSOME as I am so lost, and this WM6 version that is on here now sucks for trying to connect wifi, andmostly crashes everytime when trying! It has no Voip or SIP settings, and the remote desktop does not work either
THANK YOU any one that can help me
take a look at the wiki page, all the available ROMs are there. However I would recommend you try following one of my guides and update to one of the following:
WM6 LVSW
WM6 Black Dymond
WM6 Elf Edition v2
CUSTEL WM6 Pro 2.5
Faria's Super Clean WM6 v1
Dutty's WM6 v2
WM6 3DES.3.5
Schap's WM6 Pro [multilingual]
ALL of these are very stable and the guides take you through updating SPL/Radio and ROMs
Thank you for getting back to me
I would like to get this phone to a Dutty's WM6 v2 state from the options it has, but I am VERY tech limited, or experianced. I would be willing to pay or donate a bit of money to someones paypal account that is willing and ABLE to help me with this process, and answer if this model X01HT will convert properly as well. I have tried to find anyone that has done mods to the X01HT and always come up with no one, using, or having done one
I can give you my email and you can send me yours, and I will GLADLY give you my PH#, or give me yours as I will also GLADLY pay the long distance to anyone that will gracously help me out, or just wants some spending cash for the knowledge and experiance they already have that I do not in HELPING me out LOL!
A lot of the links you sent I have read or similar, and just some of the procedures and/or terms are scarry and unfimiliar as I know nothing about some of the stuff the instuctions are refering to.
I would not be so scrared to try for the first time solo if I could hard reset and it would revert back to a english installed ROM, but it will be JAPANNEES And than I would be totaly screewed!
So if someone can help me out with getting a STABLE English ROM as the resetable one it will goto, and some of the fixes like the keyboard fix as I am most sure I will need, that would be AWSOME! I would be glad to donate some funds for your time in helping me
Thank you
