Device Switching OFF

I've had WM2003 installed for over 2 months now without any real problems. Recently, I noticed that the qtek is completely switching off by itself every few days. When power button is pressed, the device reboots and is back to normal for another few days. The battery is always charged, so that is not the problem.
I'm running:
ROM: 4.00.01 ENG
Date: 05/16/03
Radio: 4.21.00
Protocol: 32S54
Any suggestions? Can I upgrade? If so, how?
Thank you

QTEK switching off
Fadyco
I have a QTEK 1010 and I have a similar problem. Did you find a solution?
Model PW10A1
ROM version 3.16.52 ENG
ROM Date 03/10/03
Radio version 3.19.01
Protocol version 32S54
The device works well but periodically goes off (PDA and cell phone) and pressing the power button at this point soft resets it. I have tried removing add on software (D9 dialer and SMS name utility), soft resetting and hard resetting.
A hard reset seemed to solve the problem - until I synched with Outlook again - but then maybe I did not wait long enough since even after synching and software being loaded, it does fine for hours at a stretch. It is my impression that an incoming or missed call causes it to do that but since it happens inconsistently, I cannot tell.

I had this issue... very frustrating.
So, I just called T-Mobile, and exchanged it for a new one... They didn't know why it was resetting itself.
The new one works fine, I have not had a single instance of it resetting.
So, I dont think that it is software...

Thanks. Are the software versions the same on your old and new machine?
for me, it is more problematic since there is no local dealership here and I bought this one in Dubai..
I may end up calling them anyway to see what can be done

the XDA was resetting in the original 3.14.40 TMobile Rom, I also tried 4.00.05 and 4.00.10, cooked in Jeffs ROM Kitchen...
All of these versions had the same problem. So, I believe that it was hardware.
On my new XDA, I have tried various versions of ROM, including various options on these roms from basic (no extra options) to 'as much as would fit'... including various Phone Applications, such as PhoneExt....
Hope this helps!

I suggest upgrading your ROM from 4.00.01 to one of the newer ones(4.00.05 or 4.00.11) over at Jeff's ROM Kitchen and using the SD card bootloader method to upgrade (thats if you have a PC SD card reader).

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it- :)

HELP!!! :shock:
I've tried everything to unlock this unit I got on eBay and I'm not having any luck after 2 days of hacking.
What I've tried:
- Tried XDAunlock got a message "error getting unlock code"
- Installed the "Special Edition ROM v1.2" several times cause it just didn't work the first time. Front screen says it removes SIMlock, but NOT on my unit. Loads the auto config for USA -Tmobile, and reboots but returns the stinkin message "'SIM Lock' Please input unlock code SID:" -
-Tried XDAunlock again and still same message.
- Tried XDA2unlock, nothing
Here are the specs if someone can help:
ROM Version: 3.17.03 ENG
ROM datae: 05/15/03
Radio version: 6.25.02
Protocol version: 324e4
The unit is in Brand New condition so I hate to toss it away.
Thanks,

When you first boot the special edition rom do you have the sim inserted? If yes, try it without sim, if no, try it with sim.

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -
Booting up with and without a foriegn SIM yields the same SIM Lock message. Still searching for suggestions. (after two days of searching for a fix my eyes look like this :shock: )
Still comes up "Please input unlock code SID:" I know its not the SIM chip as the SIM chip works without problems on another PPC.
My gut tells me its the phone part which is locked. If I can somehow replace this part of the ROM, I can get it to work, but I do not know how to cook a new phone rom and from what I've educated myself with on this site its states to keep away from the RSU? The PDA functions fine as a standalone unit but defeates the purpose of why I purchased an integrated system for my wife. Guess she will have to carry a seperate phone for a while this we figure this out. :x

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it-
Well I may have come onto something. I am going to try these steps tomorrow and let you all know. After 3 days of searching thru all the forums here, I came across this link on how to unlock this AT&T PPC. Wish me luck. :lol: Looks like I will owe LumpiStefan a reward if this works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13477
BTW, this web site was down for the longest period, anyone know what happened? Anyways, thanks for getting it back up.

Have you tried entering 0000 as the sid code??

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -
Yes, I tried 4 and 6 zeros. Nada.
Be it officially noted that I am giving up on trying to unlock this PDA and are putting a curse on ATT and will NEVER ever buy another product tied to that Communist Company. No wonder they don't exist anymore. Anyways, I'm reporting that all the good instructions in this forum to unlock this device have offically failed and the only thing left to try is the serial cable method. After 3 days of hacking, I'm giving up. I've ordered a serial cable and will await its arrival. If that works, I will let you all know. Otherwise its going up for auction with .01 starting bid. :roll:, better yet, maybe I'll donate it to the sys op. :lol:

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it-
Well, I finally unlocked this pos after many many countless hours of trying different things. How I finally did it was to take a much deserved rest and then start from the beginning all over again. I started here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz
Answer the wizard questions, and I was on my way to downloading and unlocking. After it was finished I had to change the bandwidth to 1900.
In summary:
Download and install the SpecialEditionROM
Answer the unlock question.
Change the GSM bandwidth network band.
I was in business.
This is a great forum! I will contribute by making donation and THANK YOU!! Merry Christmas to one and all. :lol:

This is not really going to help you, but if you have it, can you send me the AT&T theme from the SX56 ?? (PM me please )

I can help you to unlock it for sure!

Help: Cant Make Calls

I have Qtek 2020 with Rom CE Version 1.72WWE, but every time i try to upgrade to new roms:
(Previously Sundream's WM 6.5 WWE) and (Currently Syed Ather's WM 6.0)
Its giving me issues related to my network.
Signals are fluctuating, i cant make calls, neither recieve them, get messages in delay time more often, It avoids making me save contacts in sim card but after several attempts it succeeds.
Please Help me out. I am not getting this issue when i downgrade back to my Official Qtek 2020 1.72 Rom.

That is strange. Can you tell me, when you take your battery out, what is displayed on the sticker underneath? PH10a? PH10b?
Also, do you happen to know what Radio you are using? (The radio is seperate to the ROM).
Furthermore, and only if you remember, when you put your device into upgrade mode just before you flash a new ROM, what boot number does it say (IE Mine says V1.04 from memory).

Thanks for Reply

It's been like this for around 3 months now, and I really want it to work! And i've tried reseting, updating the ROM, changing SIM card and put in a totally new SIM card and it's not working! But when I tried my sisters SIM card and I got signal but It didn't work to call? And my mom's SIM card I didn't have any connection..? So please please help me.
Thanks for help, Rasmus

Seems like either the Radio ROM version is not good for your phone or youmesstup with settings. What ROM version and what Radio ROM version do you have?

Thanks for the replay! My ROM version is 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
and my Radio Version is 2.10.50.26

While this isn't the Wizard forums, I can tell you this from my many moons of experience...you bricked your radio ROM. Goto the Wizard section and look on how to reflash the radio using SoftSPL.

Did you try going into your connections settings, manage existing settings, then going through the prompts? Sounds to me that you might have jacked something up there. I take it you can not make calls or anything? Like you have no phone connectivity?

Need some more information. First what band is the phone set to? First do a HARD RESET of the phone to get everything cleared out and set to the base settings. You should have a signal if the radio is working. What country are you in/network? Take out the SD card and see if it makes any difference.
What does the signal indicator show when the phone is on? When the phone was working did it drop calls. Did it "hunt" for a signal then find one then start hunting again? This indicates a failing radio - if this is the case the phone is never going work properly - it will only get worse and flashing a rom will not make it come back - its a chip on the motherboard and its bad.
You said you flashed a new rom - did you have any problems flashing? Did it complete? If it did without issues the radio is more than likely OK. Generally when a radio goes bad you can't flash past about 11% of completion.
From personal experience on my now sold TYTN - the radio started to go - was able to flash. Then it got really bad - no more flashing. Would freeze during the ROM update and hang up.

[Q] Need Help with my Sprint S4

I am the least tech savvy person you will ever meet so let me apologize in advance. I have a Sprint Galaxy s4 with no carrier. I bought it new off ebay in December of 2013. I took my phone into a carrier to try and get service (Cricket and TMobile both) and was told that it shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, when they put their sim card in the sim card reader kept saying no sim card. The salesperson advised me that my phone was locked by sprint and I would need to buy a new phone from them or have it unlocked. I went in search for someone that could unlock my phone and was told that Sprint has a flash rom and if you try and unlock it that it "kills" your phone and its junk. To avoid not being able to use the phone at all I decided against unlocking it. Then two days ago my phone started giving me an error message and no I am not sure what that message was because since then I have done a factory reset, but when I did the backup of my phone with mobilego it said I had autorun applications and needed to root my phone. I have no idea why I need to root my phone. After doing the factory reset though my phone is working but when I tried to make a call (I use Skype with wifi for this) the person on the other end couldn't hear me...so its obviously not working correctly. I hooked my phone up to my computer and did a download of the device driver on Samsung.com and then made a call and it worked. Unfortunately, mobilego is still telling me that I need to root my phone. Help! what does all this tech jumbo mean? I would really like to unlock the phone so that I could get a sim card from another carrier and actually have phone service but I am unsure how to do all of this...any of this really. Just consider this "Samsung for Dummies" myself being the dummy. I am unsure what information you need from me to assist so I will give you all of the information under my about device tab:
software version: L720VPUFNG2
HARDWARE VERSION: L720.08
STATUS: NETWORK SAMSUNG
MOBILE NETWORK TYPE: LTE
SERVICE STATE: IN SERVICE
MOBILE NETWORK STATE: DISCONNECTED
PRL VERSION: 55015
DEVICE STATUS: OFFICIAL
MODEL NUMBER: SPH-L720
ANDROID VERSION: 4.4.2
BASEBAND VERSION: L720VPUFNG2
KERNEL VERSION: 3.4.0-2162929
BUILD NUMBER: KOT49H.L720VPUFNG2
SE FOR ANDROID STATUS: ENFORCING SEPF_SPH-L720_4.4.2_0018
SECURE BOOT STATUS: TYPE: SAMSUNG
SECURITY SOFTWARE VERSION: MDF V1.0 RELEASE 2
SO MY QUESTION IS- Do I need to root this phone? What would be the reason to root the phone (especially for a technology challenged girl such as myself)? Can this phone be unlocked to take to another carrier to use their SIM card without it being rendered useless by messing up the flash rom? If so, where do I go to get this unlocked? Is it something I could do myself or would you recommend having someone do it for me? As for now the phone does seem to be in working order, no error messages since the factory reset, but like I said mobilego is pissing me off because it won't stop with the damn "needs to be rooted" message. Any advice and all advice is welcome. Thank you soooo much!!!
