Hi there,
I have a Qtek 9100 that was bought in Spain nad has a Spanish OS on it.
I want to upgrade it to English OS.
I was told that this is not a simple OS upgrade and I need to follow several steps before upgrading the OS.
Can anyone help me with the instructions and where I can download the OS.
Thank you
Hi, its not as hard as it sounds.
Have a good read through this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796&highlight=cid+unlock
You will need to download the unlock utility and unlock the CID on your phone. This allows you to install a new rom.
I can recommend the following ROM which is in english

Remember, this is done at your own risk, and unlocking the CID goes against your phones warranty
Hi,
Thank you for all your help.
I followed the instructions and managed to upgrade the ROM.
I am now checking to see that there is nothing missing
and nothing missing yet
Like you said, nothing to it if you follow the dimple step by step instructions.

Hi,
I have a dutch HTC wizard/qtek 9100, with the AKU 2 NLD ROM.
I tried CID unlocking but noticed that didn't work with AKU 2,
Is it possible my phone isn't cid-locked? Is there a quick way to check?
How can I downgrade to an older rom version and what file should I use,
I tried this one: "RUU_Prodigy_1030710_110_10410_Qtek_NLD_Ship.exe"
but after restarting my wizard and loading the bootloader the update program gave an error claiming that it can only UPgrade to newer versions...
I suppose I cant use the wwe version or can I?
well, thanx in advance,

As written before, u need AKU 1 to CID unlock your phone..the only way to be sure is to unlock again. Use buttons rom.. downgrade to that... unlock the phone.. install the rom again so the IPL and SPL are the same..then you can switch to whatever rom you want. How ever, you havent shown what type of Wizard you have whether its a G3 or a G4..the above method is what i used for my G3 Wizard
I have a g3 wizard,
so I can use that rom, I don't need a dutch version or something else?

1. Thank-you for posting in a new thread and not in a ROM release thread.
2. Do you have a G3 or G4 (what is your IPL/SPL?)
2a. If you have a G3 read the Sticky post The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards.
2b. If you have a G4 log onto the IMEI pay site (links all over the place) and pay to get your phone unlocked.
3. IF you have a G3 rom you must downgrade to CID unlock. It isn't possible to CID unlock from AKU2 or higher (read the sticky, it tells you what you need to do)
4. The best thing to do if you are unsure is to just repeat the unlock procedure. It won't hurt a thing if you are already unlocked, but will unlock you if you are locked.
5. Don't do anything flash related until you know for sure, beyond a doubt which version of Wizard you have (G3 or G4) If you have a G4 and use G3 procedures you WILL most likely ruin your device.
6. You won't get this error if you follow the steps in the correct order from the upgrade guide.
7. Good Luck

With your G3 just follow the steps, in order, from the sticky and you should be able to end with whatever ROM you choose. Some of the steps may not make sense but, they are necessary and prevent common issues if followed correctly.
Well, I do have a G3 so I can follow the tutorial,
ipl and spl are 2.18,
only question left, CAN I downgrade to the wwe rom in the tutorial? that's what I wanna know, because I now have a nld rom, can I flash to the wwe rom in the tutorial without CID-unlocking?
well I think I just try
thanx
oh btw, any recommendations on which rom to flash to after unlocking? and I saw something about radio only roms and page-pools what would u recommend there?
i m having qtek 9100 (g3)i dont know which language it is? by mistake i upgraded to custom rom without unlocking cid.. i stucked in 98% n bootloader screen appears... i want to change in english language. itried several roms.. but the same problem. plz guide me out of this. i wanna my cell started...
in the netherlands the qtek's are sold without a simlock
however, there is a possibility that there is a cid-lock.
to remove this, read the wiki.
but first flash it with an original qtek rom
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
then cid unlock it and flash it with the rom you want
rom probs
hi, sorry im new to the site but i noticed you have the same rom as me (1.37.401.3 WWE) i cant seem to unlock the CID, on command it comes up with "could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe its in use" any help would be much appreciated.
p.s i have already flashed it to get that rom so im not sure if i need to find a new one or it can be resolved...
i tried to update my wm5 to wm6 rc1 to my wiza200 (t mobile)
i followed all instructions as in Rc1 thread but this is what happened
my phone unlocked
cid unlocked
i upgrade the IPL/SPL to 3.08 both
but when try to install wm6 rc1 or any other wm6 it still give me the erorr 302
i tried to downgrade to IPL/SPL 2.26 but i failed all the times
please help me i lost every thing
please hellllp me i want either to install the WM6 or go back to tmobile wm5
note the only os can be installed on is WM6 ANTC V2.0 but it shows wm5 on my ppc i really confused here please help
thanks in advance

FIRST-- Please do not make repeated posts, you posted this same damned thread in the Wizard/Wizard section and again in the Wizard/Wizard upgrading section. It is New Years Eve, people are out partying rather than sitting on xda, if someone comes online and can answer they will.
SECONDLY-- the big font is rather annoying (see what I mean, by my post here)
Finally-- good luck. BTW, if you flash back to a stock rom then make sure you have followed all the unlocking steps EXACTLY, you should be able to flash any rom after the stock rom. And while I am not sure, but if you were able to flash a custom rom, then it is WM6, even if it reads WM5 somewhere.
PS- I believe error 302 has something to do with unlocking the phone...you may not be unlocked. You need to be CID unocked. Read the unlocking sticky carefully and after reflashing a stock rom, make certain you have cid unlocked your phone (as I stated above)...get into the bootloader mode and make sure you use a STOCK rom.
Your phone isn't completely unlocked, go to the unlocking sticky thread and read on how to unlock your phone there. Also, please don't make giant text sizes, that shows impatience and it's just plain rude.
hi @ all
i will unlock the vodafone rom, than i will flash wm6 rom.
how can i unlock the rom.
my pda shows now 4 colours red - green- blue- white
can somebody help me??
pls
From what i understand you have your fone stuck in bootloader mode.
First you need to recover the fone by flashing it's original rom which can be found here.
Then, if you want wm6 you need to cid-unlock the fone using HardSPL or SoftSPL for G4 device,or lokiwiz for G3 device.
Remember to read carefully the instructions and readme's.
Good Luck!
thank you very much.
i cant understand so good english you now ยด?
this forum is the only one where i can unlock pdas
in german forums you got no chance
Ok, so I have been reading through the forum and the wikis. I think I am more or less now ready to unlock and flash my phone with the latest rom. Just a few questions before just to make sure I got it all right before I do anything and completely kill the phone. The PDA I have is from an Orange UK contract.
WM 6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Operator Version 24.181.1.612
Rom Version 1.81.61.2 WWE
Radio Version: 1.27.14.32
Protocol Version: 22.45.88.07H
So step 1) Install HardSPL (kaiser-HardSPLv1.zip, is the latest version right?)
Step 2) Run Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer (latest version is 2)
Step 3) Install the new Rom (3.03.405.0 (Radio 1.64.06.04) updated original WWE)
Step 4) Do a Hardreset
So if I follow this process, with the help of the wikis it will unlock my phone and allow me to install the latest rom? Could you also tell me if I am running a correct version of Windows because I read somewhere I have to downgrade to version 6.0. Secondly, is the rom I have chosen above the correct one for my PDA? Thank you, all help appreciated. Sorry for being such n00b.

basically just follow post 3...once u do it once right u will do it more often and get used to it...the first time i had to read over the steps a few times just to familiarize myself with it..now its just download the rom and flash away...
in case u do flash more...u dont need to hardspl each time...once is good for life
thanks for that link. I read through it before my post. So do I just need to run HardSPL once and then flash the new rom. Or do I also require to run the SIM/CID unlocker changer as well?
see post #2 in the link bapssystupr3m3 posted
k thanks, the way I have understood is that HARDSPL will do a CID unlock (not a sim, if I am not mistaken) and I will just have to use the SIM unlocker to sim free the device. Then off to flashing the rom with the version I described above.
its a bit more complicated with an orange phone mate. You have to SIM unlock it first to flash with a different radio and if you flash to WM6.1 you need a compatible radio...
sim unlocking is not that complicated and I managed it with the details on this forum, there is a bit thread about it somewhere...
Got my orange kaiser in the afternoon, by early evening I had unlocked, flashed, new radio and was happy.
The actual process of flashing a new ROM is pretty simple when you have done it once.
right, having a read through this "Guide on how to unlock an Orange TYTN II by UKBATMAN" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357592&highlight=orange) It says "use OliPro's SIM/CID Unlocker or Jockyw2001's SIM Unlocker". I have already downloaded OliPro's latest version so I am assuming I can just run this application and it will sim/cid unlock my phone?
