Anyone? advice please. :roll:
Hi Jane,
I've been looking for a good ROM. I was originally running WM5 from Wiki but I've had to ditch it last week because it became too unstable. Could you please post the link to 02 ROM so I could check it out asap I get a chance to.
Thanks

Hi All,
I have been reading the posts on this forum for the last 5 days and just need some advice.
Just got the Mini S and woudl like to know what ROM to upgrade to, various posts mention the QTEK or the IMATE and to be honest I am a little confused.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I need to use the lokiwiz program to unlock the SIM and CID before I attempt the upgrade ?
Thanks
Dan
You would also need to remap the keyboard as the O2 version has a different keysheet. The O2 build with push will be available within the next week or so.

I'm in a similar boat to the OP. Been watching the forums for a couple of weeks and am finally in a position to upgrade the ROM - still not sure to go QTEC or iMate....and now Lord Buckingham throws O2 back in the mix!!
@ Lord Buckingham - can you qualify where you have heard the news about the O2 ROM as all I have seen is pure speculation so far on these forums?
If any other Mini S owners can comment on the QTEC/iMate ROM argument that would also be a great help!
thanks.
I've just installed the Qtek 2.17 Rom on my mini, but now i'm having activesync problems. Not sure it's related, although I am tempted to try the Kjam 2.16 rom to see if it's any better. Will let you know when i've installed it...

I've been using the iMate 2.16.9.1 rom since it came out in feb, and it works fine for me. Dtharby, To answer your question you do need to use lokiwiz to unlock the SIM and CID before upgrading
After hacking around on my Laptop, I've resolved the activesync issue I was having, without going back to 2.16. So 2.17 seems stable, fast and bug free so far...
thanks guys. It's reassuring to hear there's some Mini S users in the UK that have has success with the new ROMs.
I think I'll try flashing tonight....maybe going to go for QTEC (just cause it came out later!!)
One last thing - is it actually possible to roll back to the shipping O2 ROM from these new 2.x ROMs?
cheers!
Help, I have Qtek 9100 on the O2 network in England, it doesn't have all the O2 customisations so I'm thinking it is a basic Qtek ROM. At the moment it is running the 1.1.7.5. ROM. I'm looking to upgrade the ROM, the 2.1.7 seems to be the best. But despite reading through the forum I have some questions.
1 - Does the Qtek 9100 need CID unlocking? I've read that if I install the Qtek 2.1.7 upgrade I won't need to CID unlock the phone.
2 - Is the latest ROM shown on the Qtek site the 2.1.7. version?. I have tried to log on to that site but its says it does support the IMEI I've entered.
3 - What is Cingular?
4 - Could some one post the link to the 2.1.7 Rom English upgrade?, I've found a step by step guide to upgrading and loads of links to different ROM's But want to be sure that I've got the link to the right one.
5 - Is it worthwhile carrying out the upgrade, and how likely am I to bust my phone?
Thanks in advance for the advice, In short all I want the best upgrade with the least amount of hassle to upgrade.
Hi,
If you stick with the Qtek rom, you dont need to CID unlock...but it is worth doing for future use...as you can not CID unlock a v2 ROM....yet.
Cingular is a US phone company...like O2, T-Mob etc.
If you follow the instructions, you should be ok, i have done a couple, and touch wood have all been ok.
I think you need a ROM from this lot:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Qtek/
but I dont know which one is the newest...most stable etc.
GOOD LUCK
I'm in a similar situation here, I've currently got the O2 Supplied 2.21.4.1 WWE ROM, most people here seem to be upgrading to other ROM's such as those supplied by QTEK... looking at the Wizard ROMS on the FTP, which one should I be upgrading to? And what are the 'prophet' ROM's on there?
think I've got it it sorted now, shouldn't need to CID unlock if I use the Qtek 2.1.7 release. Not sure I need any other companies Roms unless someone is going to tell me they have some features I can't live with out ?
Hi, has anyone got the original ROM that came with the Orange M1500. I'am sick of the unreliability of my phone which was never there with the standard ROM. If not any ideas where i can get it as orange dont seem to post it on their website.
cheers, Jason
Hi,
Newbie alert!
I am a UK post pay O2 user interested in flashing my Stellar with a new ROM. I have been reading the wiki and other posts about unlocking & flashing my phone, I am happy with doing all of that.
My main question is once I have flashed my phone I know I will lose all my O2 provider settings. Does anybody know where I can find these.
Also can any other post pay O2 Stellar users give me info about which ROM & Radio upgrades they have tried. Tips etc
Thanks,
Chief
hi there Buddy.
when You will flash a new rom, then Your o2 connection will be set up automatically. i.e. I have flashed my t-mob vario III with 6.0 wwe rom and autoconfiguration tool recognized my o2 simcard without any problems.
most of new roms have this tool build in (I know that Leo's Diamonds have it).
hope this helps

Thanks for the help
Hey,
I flashed my O2 XDA Ignito with a ROM from this site and I think I might have to send it back to O2 for repairs. I was just wondering if anyone knows if you can downlaod the original O2 ROM so I can get my phone back to when I first recived it. I dont think O2 will accept it back for repairs with the flashed ROM.
Thanks.
if its a UK ignito then check this thread out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636
(note no warranties given on my behalf, the ROM is rebult from a dump of my ignito and is as close to the original as i can get it)
please report back, if you get any problems with O2
i think there is a german one out there as well !
or you might wanna wait for 02 uk to bring an update (unlikely in the near future tho)
Thanks for the link mate will check it out tonight and post up if I have any problems at all!
Cheers!
