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.

Radio Rom and unlock CID for Prophet

Hi
I downloaded the latest radio rom and installed it on my Dopod 8180 Pro G3 which had the Version 1 rom with GSM ......
Now when I reboot the Dopod the GSM version has disappeared and the Dopod is very very slow. How do I fix it or where can I get the original radio rom from?
Second is I can't download the unlock CID file, is there another file location which I can do this?
Thanks

Hi
I have fixed it already, it seems like the V2 radio rom will not work for V1 OS and it cause the battery to drain, I had to borrow another battery to reprogram the rom.

Hi Kiwi,
Where do you get the v.2 radio rom?
When you said radio rom, is it related to the IPL or SPL also? Thanks

S: Original HTC Polaris ROM German

I'm searching for the original german ROM for Polaris. In the ROM Section there is only O2 Version of it.

I am searching for it too...

i dumped mine. but i did not yet reflash it. i can upload it if you want to test it. but at your own risk.
ID: POLA100
ROM: 1.25.407.1 GER (12/17/07)
RADIO: 1.58.21.23
PROTO: 25.65.30.04H
SPL: 1.25.0000
CPLD: 2

Ok, pls upload, this is my last try.

http://rapidshare.com/files/102226089/RUU_signed.7z
it is the dumped OS, maybe its ok for all.

@ daze81
And, have you tried the image? Does it work?

had to search the tools for updating the rom with your version (after i tried the wm6.1 version
i let you know next days ...
thanks
cu camel

thanks would like to know if it works

Well, if the SPL isnt included, you basically can't brick your device (I might be mistaken about that though ). Youll always be able to fall back to the bootloader (multi color screen) and then just reflash a working ROM.

ok, there is no SPL included. i just dumped the original OS and rebuilded it. nothing else.

I guess I gonna give it a quick shot before I flash the next bepe... unless somebody else is first and confirms your working backup before I get the chance to do so.

Did anybody try?
Hi to all!
Did anybody try the original german Polaris dump (http://rapidshare.com/files/102226089/RUU_signed.7z)?
Or does anybody have a working original german ROM?
I don't want to flash another ROM before I don't have a working "backup" for warranty issues.
brgds
Andi

the user hyson told me that this rom seems to work. i did not test it for myself yet.
you'll need hard-spl and a custom ruu to flash it. then you can go back to original spl.

Thanks for the information! Let's trust Hyson
@ Schaggo: sorry for full quote, but I have to say thanks for both information....

I got fed up with those cooked ROMs. I'm downloading and flashing the dazes dump (thanks bro!) right now. I'll report how dead my orbit is afterwards...
<edit hmm... yeah, it's looking good. Its booting, definitively German and everything seems in order... />

The ROM looks good ... seems to indeed be the orig. German ROM.
But what Radio ROM did Daze81's Polaris have ?
Since I may have to return my Polaris to HTC for repair, I want to make sure it's the way it was before I used some cooked ROMs. (And I can't remember what Radio ROM it had ).
Cheers,
Andreas

It has no Radio included. And if you want to go for warranty, you can reflash Radio 1.58.21.23 which was the original Radio.
You'll find it in the original German orbit 2 ROM thread which is linked in my signature. I provided the Radio as well in the other thread...

Schaggo,
thanks for the info and the link !
Cheers,
Andreas

dumped german rom
excuse me, how do i flash the xxxxx.7z file?? must I unzip it in any way??
thank you for answering

www.7zip.org is the tool of your choice. use the file inside this archive with Custom_RUU for example.

Radio 1.54.xx.xx is not for Polaris.
You need 1.59.xx.xx or 1.65.xx.xx radio for your ROM.
Sascha

Dont use with this ROM Radio 1.54... Use ver.1.59 or 1.65...
Maybe is your radio file corrupted...

I have made a small mistake I would write the radio 1.58.xx.xx

Don´t use radio 1.58, only 1.59 or 1.65!!! Version 1.58 is not compatible with this ROM. And version 1.65 works very good.

Check your RUU package, there is no problem in flashing a different radio on 1.65.30.09, but that need to be a compatible one for this ROM as explained above.

this was quite painful, to downgrade the radio, nothing worked for me, except fashing official rom RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.rar

Is this could be Olinex version problem?

Hello,
I have a question and I could not find the answer in seach thread
I have bought Touch HD 3 months ago and since then I can not make or recieve phone calls outside or indoor, but it works always good when I am only at home don't know why? Currently I have (SPL 1.56 / Radio 1.10.25.25 / Energy Rom 6.5 sense 2.5)
I have tried tons of diffrerent rom versions and also radio versions but did not fixed my problem. Friend of mine have same phone and his works every where he goes without any missing calls or any other problem, and we both are with same service provider in Canada (Fido). Some one said it could be my SPL version problem with olinex 1.56 and suggested that I have to revert back to 1.54 with stock OS as well. IS THIS TRUE?
Please reply how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

If i were you, I would defenitely us a newer radio than 1.10. Are you sure 1.17 doesn't work better? As far as I know, your Rom doesn't have much to do with reception problems. My knowledge on this is limited, but from what I understand your rom should have a rillphone installed that matches your radio. More information on this subject here. Most roms these days have a rillphone that matches radio 1.14/1.17.
What radio is your friend using btw?

I really appreciate your suggestion, I will definately check with my friend for what radio version he is using in few hours, and I will post it shortly. I have never heard about rillphone? I will definately check your link and all the help from any one is really appreciated. I really like this phone and want to get it working.
Thanks

Can I copy my friends HD rilphone.dll file and replace it with my one in windows directory? Will that brick my phone? As I said in my first post that his phone works fine with same network provider.
Thanks in advance

My friends HD radio version is..
R 1.13.25.24
G 52.62.25. 34U
D 1.59.48753
Windows 6.1

I have tried Rilphone 14 and radio 14 but same problem presist, can't really make calls (works 3 times out of 10) also hard to recieve calls, However text messaging is got better, I am missing only 1 time out of 10.
Any help is really apreciated.
Thanks

Could you flash the same version of radio & rilphone as your friend's. This way you can rule out any possible hardware problems? - just a thought.

Thanks Surfwarrior for your suggetion,
I downloaded radio same as my friend's (1.13) however i could not found the working Link for 1.13 Rilphone. The Rilphone 1.13 link in the raido rom thread is not working.
Any idea where else can I get 1.13 rilphone?
Thanks

I have tried flashing Radio 1.17 and Rilphone 1.15 but same problem presist.
I also tried x1 radio but did not let me flash
I am still waiting for someone who can tell me where can I download Rilphone 1.13 cab. The original link for rilphone 1.13 cab is not working
Thanks
