Hi,
I just have a quick question about rom upgrading. i have attempted to look it up on the forumn but i dont understand the tools referenced.
my question is is it possible for me to completely ruin my xda by tring to upgrade the rom. i hear the xda2s has a bootloader mode. will this recover my rom no matter what?
how hard and risky is upgrading rhe rom.
thanks
Lewis

I have another, less harsh theory. It's that no one had a useful suggestion for you until HDUBLI came along and offered advice. Or, your problem has been experienced by others and based on reading the forum and a little experimentation on your part, you could have solved it.
Rather than lash out at everyone because they didn't overwhelm you with solutions, you should be thankful these forums exist in the first place.
If you are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with the risks and issues associated with ROM flashing, I suggest you stick with what your carrier provided. This is a friendly and sharing forum, but you won't make any friends by bearing unreasonable expectations and criticizing.
Glad your issue was resolved.

I can't get it to work. I flashed succesfully CUSTOM_RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe and CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe but afterwards with both ROMS when I try to flash 2.08 Qtek test ROM, it goes nicely all the way to colors screen and then stops with "error [296] upgrade only".
I noticed that SPL stayed 2.17 after both ROMS, is it the reason 2.08 won't go through?
search forum carefuly...you hv to CID Unlock everytime.I hv been doing this...Pls try and post here
Hdubli I bow down to you, you teh guru
I flashed Button's ROM and then ran cid-unlock with aWizard 1.2. After that I succesfully flashed Qtek 2.08 ROM. Thanks for the help, man!
Want to go back to qtek9100 1.1.7.5 9/22/05 ROM

Hdubli,
I have a bit of a similar problem here. I have a Qtek9100 with the ROM Version: 1.1.7.5 ROM date: 09/22/05.
Recently, I upgraded to AKU rom, but I see that this rom is unstable and gives me problems with wifi which used to work flawlessly on my original rom. I just want to go back to the 1.1.7.5 ROM.
In your post, you asked to flash a CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe rom and then CIDunlock and then flash old rom. My question is,
1. is this Custom rom the actual qtek9100 1.1.7.5 Rom ? If yes then I can just do this step.
2. If not, then you said that I need to CID unlock. Would cid unlocking void the warranty.
3. Further, if I cid unlock, do you know where do I find the installer for qtek 1.1.7.5 ROM, dated 9/22/05.
I know lot of questions here, but i would really appreciate any help on these.
Please advise.

Hi, i had a wizard for 2 years and buyed a xda terra now.
I have standard O2 German rom on it
I dontt know how to start with all the stuff.
I have wm6 on it and want a other cool rom.
What i have to do first?
Can you please send me then the link of the threads?
Sorry for my bad english , im german
ok so heres the problem. the xda terra can flash, but it cannot recover because a RUU has not yet been released yet.
The problem here is two fold
First, to flash you would need to install a fresh copy from the RUU, which is impossible.
Second, if you were to try to flash from your current OS, it would brick and you would not be able to recover because there is no RUU.
Sorry
hmm. i flashed it :S
it worked. with the touch it 2.3 rom.
i installed it over the original wm6 from o2.
hope i didnt a big mistake
oh wow, it worked? in my experience, i've always had to flash back to ruu before flashing. That said, you prob won't be able to flash again. Also, if you do try, make sure YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE USB CORD. I've like hit it a little and the entire flashing process goes to hell. Remember, for you, hell=dead forever.
Hi,
Just a quick question (not sure if this should be in the ROM section...)
I updated the ROM on my TD and I followed the steps of putting HardSPL on and, then the new ROM.
I now want to upgrade the radio on it, and it says you need HardSPL and then follow steps again.
My question is, if I put on HardSPL for the ROM, is it still there, or does it get wiped when the phone get flashed for the new ROM? Hence, would i need to reintall HardSPL!
Prolly a stupid question, but don't want to brick my phone and kick myself for not asking beforehand!
Thanks,
DG

It stays there. You can always verify by manually entering bootloader and reading off the version of the HardSPL. Make sure you read the guides regarding Radio upgrade!
Hi i have a big big problem I have the energy ROM and i would Upgrade it but i cant i have all time the old ROM on my phone. pls help me
Sry for bad english
why can´t you upgrade the rom??? you only has to flash the new rom again!!!
Please explain you problem with more detail.
i flashed the new rom but the old rom is on my phone not the new
after each update, you have to hard reset your device. did you do that?

Did you follow flashing guide correctly?
Are you using HSPL or USPL method? If USPL method you need to re-use it before every flash. If HSPL is on device, your SPL should say SPL-1.56Olinex and you should be able to flash rom straight away
Answer all questions above and post your response on flashing thread. No need for new one.

I bought the Qtek 9100 and i would like to upgrade it. I read a few tutorials, but i still dont understand everything, this will be my first phone ROM upgrade. Please excuse me if these questions are totaly noob.
Help much appreciated.
1. I dont know if i need to CID unlock my phone, but if i do which is better, more commonly used (or safer) : SoftSPL or HardSPL?
2. I would like to upgrade to IPhone killer - Windows Mobile 6.5.1 - Build 23075, but i dont know if this ROM is supported by the qtek 9100 G4. Will it run good or not?
3. Is it possible to make a backup of the currently installed ROM, if in any unfortunate scenario i ruin my phone and then restore it to what it was before?
4. I am running windows 7 and i saw some posts saying that it cant be used for flashing and that you need virtual xp. What do i need to do in virtualxp to make it work then?
I would tell you to search or use the wiki, but I'll assume you already have, lol.
1. Yes, you need to CID-unlock the phone before flashing anything. My first and only flash was using SoftSPL, and had no problems.
2. Check the ROM topic, does it say "G4 safe" or "OS only"? Don't try do flash ROMs that aren't cooked for your device. A WM6.5 can run a little slow, dunno.
3. Yes, there is a way, but if you brick your phone, all you'll have is a paper weight and a backed-up ROM, lol. Check here: backing up ROM
4. Can you install XP itself? That would be better I guess.
Cheers
