Hello
I just did the following :
download the files from www.carrierdevices.com.au for Qtek 101 update
"Qtek 1010 Upgrade
(22102003-190723)-RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
File Contents
• CE Upgrade File : RUU_CEv3.18.04wwe_Qtek_SHIP.exe
• Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
"
When the process began there was an error asking to press OK for restart.
After restarting device in the boot sequence ( when logo is diplayed) there are no informations about the ROM. Just Radion version is diplayed and that is the new version one (3.25)
Also on the display there is no start icon and I cannot use the display because it seems to be decalibrated completly.
Very Important : When I try to connect to Activesync after a while it telling me that the device is not a smartphone or a pocket PC and cannot be connected. So I cant use any program to try to upgrade again.
What to do ?
Please try to give examples and link to download files in order to fix my device.
Thanks in advance

Hi ...
If you still can get to the boot loader screen (power button + soft reset) and it displays "GSM OK", that means there is a good chance that the flash ROM is not damaged.
You can either put the ROM and RSU files on SD card through a card reader (.nbf files) or to get a valid SD backup for CE + Radio from any working XDA and use the boot loader screen to flash your device again.
Good luck ...
thanks, where I can get some files?
Thank you for your replay,
It seems to be ok cause i can upload a new CE in SD format to the device. ROM was build in the kithcenROM from yorch.net.
It still not working cause perhaps I need the file containing Radio and CE as well in SD format.
Do you know where I can get it ?
I dont think I can get another device to read the files on the SD.
Many thanks,
Silviu C.
I 'm not sure which stage you are stuck with now ... if you can put CE image on SD card and flash it using the boot loader, that means you can boot your XDA and flash the RSU through a normal EXE file from yorch.net .... if this is not the case then you most propably have the wrong file format on the SD card.
Give more details plz
present situation
I am at the edge of disperation.
Steps of what I did :
1. Back up Boot and CE to SD and save them to HDD.
2. Build a CE from Yorch.net in nb1 format and write it to SD with an adaptor.
3. Flash the device with that specific file ( was just CE , not including bootloader)
Now, my pocket is like that:
It cannot been powered from the power button
It start when plug in the charger
I cannot go in bootstrap mode ( when procedure for activating is made I just got a small red flash from the LED)
I have to mention that I choose from the yorch options :" lock butons except power when the device is turned off "
So, now I cannot use the SD for try another flash image.
I cannot use activesync because it cannot recognize the device. Somthing is wrong in the header of the authorising string or something like that.
When I plug the USB cable, activesync is starting but after 10 secs a pop up telling me that the device cannot be recognize, it is not a smartphone or pocket pc.
I am stack.
Thank you
Silviu C.
another question
I have another question:
Is there anywhere - in situation that the problem with boostrap will be solved somehow - full flash containing both radio and CE ?
Thank you,
Silviu C.
some little success
I have suceded by entering in bootrap mode !!
It telling me that I have GSM ERROR
What to do?
IS there any way I can get a full flash for Qtek with radio and OS as well?
Thanks,
Silviu C.
In the boot loader screen, try to press the calendar button ... it should give you the GSM menu. Select "Reset" or "Turn off" and do a soft reset
Plz do NOT try band switching or "Calib/debug"!
It sounds like a failed radio stack upgrade, you can try copying the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file to your SD card then run it from there.
You can get the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file by using WinZip to extract it from the RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG)[1].exe file.

Hi,
I was upgrading the software upgarde on my device. I successfully upgraded the Pocket PC software on the O2 XDA, but when I tried to upgrade the GSM radio/GPRS software of the O2 XDa, it gave some error and after this my device is not starting at all. The only mistake I did was that "I did not remove the SIM card before upgrading the GSM radio/GPRS software" The device does not start even after cold booting the same. When I start the device, the O2 screen comes and after a quite long time the main window does come but I cannot do anything. I tried to tap on contacts, time, tasks but nothing happens. I can see the windows logo wall paper but cannot do anything. Please help on how I can restore back my O2 as a cold reset also does not work. :?
Thanks and Regards
Jinesh

Hi,
I have tried all the available options but it still does not work. To restore the ROM how do I get access to the O2 cause niether serial nor USB is detecting it.
Please help.

SD card install guide
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

Thanks Chief, I will try out and let you know.

Hi Rudegar,
I tried the procedure given by you. I was able to write to the flash successfully. After writing to the flash it gave a message "Checksum OK, Please cold reboot to reset".
I did a cold reboot. After starting the O2, it showed the O2 logo screen and after quite a long time, it asked me wether I want to format the SD card or not. After that it took me to the default screen of XDA wher eit showed options like "Add today's date, Contacts, Schedule etc etc. but upon tapping any of the options the O2 behaves erratically. If I tap on today's date it takes me somewhere else. Inshort it does not work.
I again did a cold reboot and now the device is in its original position i.e not going after the O2 logo where it gets stuck up.
One thing I would like to mention is that all these activities have been done putting the O2 on the cardle only as the battery is totally discharged and the device turns on only after putting it on cradle. Even after the cold reboot it does not start unless I put it on the cradle whichis connected to the mains. Is it Ok with this or am I doing something wrong? The battery does not charge and hence I have to do it in this way.
Please suggest what wrong am I doing? Any suggestions from anyone will be welcome.
regards
Jinesh
Hi,
Someone posted the original O2 ROM on this site and I downloaded the same after which I was partially succesful in flashing the ROM and reviving my dead O2 back to half life. :roll:
I burned the ROM on
to my SD Card and flashed the ROM on to my O2. After
successfully flashing the ROM I rebooted the device.
The device now starts Windows but it takes atleast 15
minutes to start. I get the today screen. WHen I cick
on start the start menu appears after a delay of 10
seconds and all applications run normal, however all
this happens only on the Cradle only.
When I go into the Battery Settings it shows "Battery
Status Unknown".
Also none of the phone functions work. The SIM card is
not recognized and in device information it does
dispaly the "IMEI number" and the "Protocl Version"
I am only able to use inbuilt phone applications.
Is there some problem with my battery cause it is not
charging even on the cradle.
Device Information does not show Radio Version, Protocl Version & IMEI number at all.
Can anyone please help me?
hello all,
it means that your radio stack are dead. Currently, We don't have any real method to fix this problem. When the radio stack is error, you can not upgrade it or do anything to make it work. We can only upgrade or downgrade the radio stack if it works. Also if you try to upgrade the radio stack, we realy need to flash the chip using a speceial tool or need the sd card which build in radio stack with we can only flash in bootloaading mode. Howerver, in some case, we can fix it but .... I think it is just lucky or the xda error when battery problem.... in this case, just disconnect the battery few minutes and connect it again by pressing the battery hole.
Regards,
Hoanghon
p.s. I have dead xda. I killed it when I upgraded the RADIO STACK. Therefore, if you are really need to upgrade the radio stack, I recommend use the official upgrade for secuirity. or just upgrade the rom only.
Note:
To eliminating the error, you need to upgrade the rom or the radio stack, you need to check if the rom fix the radio stack or the stack you are trying to upgrade it fix the rom or not.(ie, Tmobile Rom have to use it radio stack built for Tmobile pocket pc...... I know that in some case when we mix between the radio stack and OS it works but I don't think it work propertly. Anyhow the mixing bettween radio stack and OS is very dangerous if it doesn't suppport then you have to reflash the radio stack or rom(the OS is Okay but the keep upgrading the radio stack may cause the radio stack killed)
WE NEED SERIAL CABLE FOR PDA ANY HELP PLS!!!
Hi Jineshd we

Hi,
Thanks all for the replies.
Can anyone tell me how doI repair the radio stack?
Regards
Jinesh
no way without having special RSU rom update on SD card and run it from bootloader or dissembling the device and reprograming GSM rom on special rom/bios programing socket. (Here on forum is user Cgigate from Toronto CA who can do it but I cant contact him)
Okay, I bought a MDA Compact from T-Mobile 2 days ago, The Problems is that the Device is German and I Speak and Read English, Could someone walk me through to change it to English, I read so many tips and none work.
ROM-Version:1.12.2.21 GER
ROM-Datum: 11/14/05
Furmempfangerversion: 01.12.20
Protokool-Version: 4.0.13.23
ExtRom-Version: 1.12.02.106
Need to read some more, like this one:
'XDA mini (MDA compact) with German ROM to English ROM'
@ http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36002
Basically you need a WWE shipped-rom & maupgradeut_noid.
unzip the shipped-rom, put maupgradeut_noid in the same dir. as the unzipped files. Connect your magician with usb & execute maupgradeut_noid twice.
Or go for an SD-flash.
Cheers, M
Thanks
I tried that and I get a error 103: ROM IMAGE File Not Found, Thanks for that, what is the way with SD-Flash? I''l try anything....
Ulymanchild
I think you didn't extract the ROM before using the maUpgradeUT_noId file...extract the EXT file with winrar adn then in the contents use maupgrade_noid
EXT File
Okay this is what I have
MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152 and MaUpgradeUt_noID I put this all in one folder and I tried to run and still the same ROM Image Error.
I have the MaUpgradeUt_noID with the GETDEVICEDATA and the ENTERBl and still nothing, could somebody walk me through like I was a child who was born yesterday. ;-(
I don't understand the EXT File thing either when I download all these stuff from XDA website I have them in zip and I just extract them normally with XP. What am I doing wrong?
It's not that difficult:
- Unzip NL_11300_131_11200.exe (or any other shipped rom) to a folder, so you get the maupgradeut.exe etc.
- Copy the getdevicedata.exe to your Magician and execute to write DeviceData.txt
to \Windows and view with notepad
- Hexedit header to correct ID from DeviceData.txt
(probably only if using a rom from other provider)
- put maupgradeut_noid.exe in the same folder as the devicedata.txt, maupgradeut.exe etc
- run maupgradeut_noid.exe to upgrade CE image
Regards, M
I meant EXE file and not EXT file......
I think MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152 is a single EXE file with an Install shield icon.....
you have to extract it to get the ROM files
to do that download WinRAR from www.rarlabs.com...install it...
after installing winrar if you right-click on MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152.exe you have an option for etracting...extract it to a folder....now copy MaUpgradeUt_noID.ext to this folder and execute it...now you won't get the error 103
For you information ROM files have the extension .nbf....you find .nbf files inside the extracted filder
Hope you get it
Thanks
Well I want to thank all for the advice but I tried step by step and try it again and nothing ROM ERROR 120 COUNTRY I will go by a SD-Flash and try it that way if that doesn't work owell I gues I will sell it and go to england and buy me one there,,,;-(
Did you run the maupgradeut_noid twice?
The SD flash will work, just as long as you copy the first 416bytes of your own rom to the new rom.
succes, M
Ulymanchild
Hey, before selling it, read this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
This 120 country id error is easy to solve.
After you run the first time, just press "Exit" as the install wizard tell you.
After you exit from the wizard, run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe once more. This time you will not see the error again.
Hope you get it
Almost work
okay I tried what you said and I got as far as the what it's going to upgrade to put it losses the connection, what could be wrong, you gave me the best advice so far and I thank you.
I'm clueless on this point besides the usual 'try again'?
SD will work there's a nice 1.13 on the ftp -) mine) so you can always go for that approach.
Instructions:
- download the 1.13BS rom from the ftp
- get ntrw.exe & romugrade.exe from the ftp
- Download the Hexeditor from:
http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html
- get a SD-card > 64MB
- make backup of everything you want to keep from your magician & SD-card. everything will be wiped!!
- fully charge your magician
- uncheck usb connection in Act.sync on your PC
- put your magician in Bootloader (camera & power & soft-reset at the same time for a few seconds) wait till screen fades & reads 'serial v1.0x'. Screen is very dark since backlight is of.
- connect usb, now the screen reads 'usb v1.0x'
- start romupgrade on your pc
- pick the magician connection in the listbox, wces something I belief
- now a screen pops up
- type d2s in this screen
- follow progress on pc & magician
- wait till checksum finishes
- get SD from the magician & put it into a cardreader. DON'T FORMAT!!!
- put ntrw in C:\
- start a command window
- type on commandline: ntrw read myrom.nb1 [sd driveletter]:
- follow progress
- error at the end is normal
- make a copy of myrom.nb1
- open myrom.nb1 & the BS rom with the hexeditor & replace the first 416 Bytes of the BS rom with the first 416 bytes of myrom.nb1 & save it to mybs.nb1
- type on commandline: ntrw write mybs.nb1 [sd driveletter]:
error at the end is normal
- put the SD in your magician
- now it should read 'press power to flash'
- press the power button
- watch it reaches 100% - checksum will always fail
- reset & hopefully enjoy the new rom
Cheers, M
Back Error
I tried to back up my rom with romupdate.exe and when I try to pick USB it does not work only thing that showes is com2 com4 I also unchecked USB Connection on ActiveSynce and it still doesn't work so what the hell, okay I will pay some one to help me I will call the person and have them walk me thru!!!!
HELP
Seems like there's something fishy with your USB connection or your device. Best thing is to find someone nearby who has done it before & use his/her equipment .
Guess you're not getting it to work by talking through.
Terribly sorry, M
Could it Be
I just found out that my device is a HTC Charmer the new one that came out in December and it does not work like magician...So I have to try something else
You lucky bastard,
There is progress in that field. So keep looking.
Cheers, M
Can I try the first procedure OLTP described in the begining
I have a Qtek S110 with a French ROM and I need the English version.
I have downloaded MagicianRadio_1.13.00_maupgrade and Qtek_WWE_1.13 from the ftp site. Are there any special precautions I have to be aware of?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Sidi
Make a backup of your existing rom, in case you might want to fall-back for warranty issues etc. & a separate copy of the ext-rom cabs in case of provider settings etc.
& make a back-up of all pim data as everything will be lost & programs need to be reinstalled. Don't forget to mark your provider settings for gprs access, they're usually located in one of the ext-rom cab-files. You can write them down too.
For the rest it is fairly simple, connect usb & execute the maupgradeut_noid twice.
regards, M

That's never happened. Which ROM did you install?
I have a HTC ELF 0300 it is stucking in the tri colour screen with the following
IPL: 2.26.0002
SPL:2.28.0000
i have followed the advice i found on this forum of flashing the ROM but when i try the rom update utility it comes up with error 270 about the image also i tried the mtty process but it wont open the usb port
i tried flashing the SD Card but it then says "Invalid Certificate"
i'm a total loss and totally stuck..
any help appricated
Have you really read this sticky thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721 before flashing ?
Have you used "search" function with f.e. "stuck in bootloader" before posting ?
If not, please do and you'll find very useful solutions
i have read the theads over and over again and finally worked out mtty and worked out my phone is
elf0300
tmob050
it's still in tri colour mode yet i cant find a rom for it...
i tried the nbh file flashing to the memory card
but no luck....
heelllp
Do you know if you have Elf or Elfin?
It is essential for flashing original Rom Elf: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2
Elfin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045051&postcount=1
i haave an elf (p3450) well thats what it says on my box
i cant find the orginal rom for this and i'm totally stuck
any help is greatrully recived
also i have tried CID unlocking it so i can put custom roms on it but my computer wont active sync when the phone is connected through the USB port...
Also, what did you do to get your phone stuck in bootloader in the first place?
my brother did it to my phone before i'd even had chance to use it , and i don't know what he did.....sorry x
Try this and follow the instructions exactly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347700 and report pls
i tried this yesterday at first when i pressed enter i didnt get >cmd (which is what happening now)
then when i do get it eventually after many tries it sasys
cmd55 or something failed
and stays on 0% on a gray screen
sorry if i sound stupiud.
Ok
First you connect your device, then right click on active sync icon on your computer, chose connection settings and change according to the instructions then continue with mtty.exe
i have done this
when i press enter i dont get anything come up....
yesterday i managed to get it up though and just stayed gray screen at 0%
Try again a few times making sure you didn't overlook any detail.
I just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3395787&postcount=155 possibly mtty version doesn't work
2- Another possibility is unbricker rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446242
3- gold card method (the links are dead so you should pm Dsixda)
Flash from the SD card:
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem, complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
1. Format microSD card from your computer.
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (the bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait.
Will try now and keep u updated
manny thanks x
Follow the instructions until you get cmd only, then return to the tutorial to continue
Good luck
Just an update
i downloaded the nbh file you sugested and tried both
1) flashing from the SD card by renaming file - when i do this is says checking sd contents then goes back to my bootlooder screen
2) running the romupdateutility.exe with the nbh file in the same folder it goes through then i get error 294 incorrect vender
i am unable to pm Dsixda about the gold card
i have no idea what else to try
ps: when running mtty i still get a gray screen then the bootloader screen.
Sorry to hear this, I'm out of ideas. Just some details not to miss:
try a hard reset
writing "ELF0IMG.nbh" (elf zero img and not elf o img)
google for mtty and download a few versions
Wait for an answer from Dsixda for gold card if you can't find your original rom
Creating your GoldCard
I don't remember well the procedure but you can try the following:
If you have access to a working pda or a working GPS device - PNA which is powered by WM (even modified) then you have to follow these steps:
Download this package and save it in your C:\ drive.
Run it.
(it will extract all the necessary files in C:\itsutilsbin (folder) and it will start the setup of Perl)
When the Perl - installation is finished run Perl Package Manager from Windows Start Menu.
Add repositories.
Name: itsme
Location: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ppm
Name: theoryx
Location: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.xml
(HowTo: run Preferences from the Perl Package Manager menu and switch to the repository tab)
After database synchronization install these packages:
Crypt-DES
XdaDevelopers-NbfUtils
(HowTo: at the main window of Perl Package manager find those packages, mark them for install (the icon with green plus, next to the search bar) and run marked action(green arrow icon))
Format the sd card(FAT32) and insert it in a working pda.
Connect the working pda to the pc , wait to sync and run psdread.bat from C:\itsutilsbin.
Find an official rom from here with a ModelID which matches your device's one
Example: If your pda is an Elfin and you have ModelID ELF030000 then get the below rom from that thread.
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BL UE_Ship.exe (T-MOBILE)
Device: ELF030000
CID: T-MOB003
Version: 2.26.114.3
Language: NLD
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the sd card.
Fully charge your battery, insert the sd card to your pda, enter bootloader and flash from memory card
(Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume down button)).
If everything went ok then you can use a HardSPL or a USPL to CID Unlock your phone and update the rom with one of your choice.
If you don't have a working pda use a card reader - Ubuntu (even from a LiveCD) and QMAT are required
Regards!
i don't have a working pda to use :-( the only pda i have is my bricked one :-(

There is a way to use a card reader instead.

ps:I wonder how did the wiki entry got erased?
Dsixda and all the members who worked on this had done a great job and it's really annoying that all their work was lost.
