Latest WWE ROMs for K-jam and Qtek9100 - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hi,
I am still in the deciding phase of whether to go for Kjam or Qtek.
Can some one confirm this for me.
1. Since I am going for the carrier unbranded HTC (Kjam/Qtek), will there be any option within the settings like "Upgrade ROM" or something like that.
2. If I go for say, Qtek and
() try to upgrade the latest Qtek ROM, does the device need to be CID
unlocked first ?
() flash the latest official Qtek ROM, does that void the warranty ?
3. Can someone help me by giving the links to official ROMs released sometime recently for both Qtek9100 and Kjam.
Thanks

Upgrading & Stickies

Hi folks! Is there any chance of getting some stickies on here with Upgrade stuff in them? While it's fun to spend 4 hours searching the forums I think it may save time to have everything in one place
My current Wizard (MDA Vario flavour) details are:-
ROM Version 1.3.2.2 ENU
ROM Date 38624
Radio Version 01.04.10
Protocol Version 4.0.13.17
ExtROM Version 1.3.2.102
However I've decided to stay up-to-date with all the software on it. As far as I can tell the sequence I need for upgrading and reflashing etc is:-
Unlock CID
Radio ROM
ROM
Extended ROM
As I'm on T-Mobile (UK) I'll need to retain all my settings for the network so does that mean I specifically have to re-flash with the T-Mobile ROM stuff or can I choose Qtek 9100 and iMate K-Jam ROMs and then add my settings in after? I know I can't use XDA Mini or SPV M3000 ROMs as their network-specific like my MDA Vario but just wondering about the others?
Any suggestions for versions etc?

Good ROM/Radio Assessment Article

http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=518&more=1
Author's conclusion is that ROM 1.6.7.1 with radio 01.13.10 is the fastest EDGE and USB connection speeds with stable ROM. I'm using a ROM 1.6.11.1 with 01.13.10 radio with great results.

Your iMate KJAM is a HTC Wizard thus the author's recommendation of ROM 1.6.7.1 & Radio 1.13.10 is valid. I have a MDA Vario and flashed to this combo with no problems. There is no "best" ROM as the hardware is basically all the same.
By reviewing this xda-developers section on Wizard, you'll form an impression on what works and what doesn't and the pluses / minuses of each.
All the best,
Craig
Question... What is this making sure your phone is CID unlocked?
Carrier unlocked?
Mine is an unlocked Imate K-Jam?
Can I just upgrade the Rom?
Thanks

Look in aWizard ROM util link
Forgive me gentlemen as I am very new to this specific device... I ran the Awizard tools and used the CID unlock and backed up that file... I'm assuming that is to restore it incase of sending in for warranty?
I then backed up all (radio, rom, extended)
Okay so now my question is... Can I just run the Qtek rom executable or should I used the Awizard tools to do the Radio and Rom seperately...
Is there any difference? Can I even just upgrade by double clicking the executable? Will it give me a new extended rom then?
Finally, is there any software differences between the Qtek and the Imate?
I just want to use the Qtek rom until the latest I-mate rom comes out.
Thanks for your guys help.. I know you will be able to answer my questions....

T-Mobile Rom for Vario / Wizard

hi everybody,
do somebody know anything 'bout an new update?..
i ve heard bout a test version 2.8.x but i cannont find it anywhere. and when will be the new one released.
greets from the chiemsee
we are currently on version 2.17/2.18 FINAL (Qtek ROM). T-Mobile haven't released any new yet.
I've not looked into upgrading my ROM yet as there seem to be so many horror stories around here.
Could someone say what the main benefits of newer ROMs are (I'm using the latest UK T-Mobile factory-fitted ROM at the moment) and what the dangers of installing non T-Mobile ones are? (I've already turned off most of the T-Mobile rubbish, but I don't want to suddenly lose Text or MMS messaging, or my default GPRS internet connection, etc). And if I upgrade the ROM, can I just use something like SPB Backup to restore all my applications, messages, etc. automatically or do I need to re-install applications by hand?
Andre
The new Rom is faster, has DirectPush Support and there are a few other little things better. And in the QTek Rom is no T-Mob. branding.
The Danger (with all rom updates, not only with non T-Mob. Roms): It's possible that you damage or destroy your device. Important is that you use lokiwiz to unlock your MDA for other Roms than from T-Mob.
I recommence reinstalling the apllications by hand. yfor mails etc. you can use spb backup. (if you haven't it on your pc to resync too)
i know about the new qtek 2.18.. but here in the forum in a topic the tell about 2.8 t-mobile test rom or beta rom.. possibly a wrong number... do anybody still have this rom?.. better in german lang.. or a way to downgrade from the new qutek to t-mobile... cause i don t know if it s possible to take my baby back in "real" t-mobile-flair if there is a problem with warranty someday....
greets and thx for the fast answeres

Hello,
I'm also using a T-Mobile Vario with following device info:
ROM version 1.6.2.4 WWE
ROM date 11/15/05
Radio version 01.12.10
Protocol version 4.0.13.23
ExtROM version 1.6.2.105
But I'm not on T-Mobile network and I use 802.11g wireless instead of GPRS, so I don't care about whether or not to stick with T-Mobile ROMs.
Could anybody please advise if it's OK for me to update other, a newer and better one hopefully, on my device? If so could you please recommend the newest set of ROMs.
BTW, I'm a newbie and I don't understand what Protocol and ExtROM are, and if I should install them, and if yes where to find them? Can you please explain. Thank you.
Rgds,

Hello,
Just to update that I've upgraded my Wizard with the new Qtek ROM. It works much faster and there's now no problem with Wifi anymore.
Device Info:
ROM version: 2.17.7.2 WWE
ROM date: 2/10/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.17.7.102
Can anybody please advise what does the ExtROM do and if I can exclude it from the device? Any good in doing this? Thanks
Qtek ROM
Where can you get the Qtek ROM for MDA Vario from? I am also on UK t-mobile rom. its just too slow sometimes! but i dont want to damage the unit so which one is better Qtek to Imate KJAM rom and which version is the best one to download and where can I get them?
Thanks I know these are very silly basic questions!
Hello,
I honestly don't know which ROM is better, I just tried Qtek one because I saw it most updated. Luckily it went smoothly for me. If you've got the UK T-Mobile please make sure that you've unlocked its CID beforehand.
You can get the ROM from here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
That's the newest English version.
Hope this helps.

I'm running the T-Mobile custom rom built on 2.17 and it works very well. As long as you follow directions and not panic if thngs look as if they are going astray, you shoudl be ok. I've upgraded, downgraded and upgraded again about a dozen different times with only one time having it going south on me. I just used the bootloader method of flashing and was abale to get out of trouble. I would use aWizard to to a full rom backup before doing a flash in case you want to downgrade. Over all, I do not know whether it is necessary but I always runb the unlock before the upgrade, even if I did it already. 3 minutes of time but could save your rear end . . . just my 2 cents . . .
Can you use T-Mobile USA rom on a UK Vario (Wizard)?
Hi all,
Just wondering if you can use the T-Mobile USA rom on a UK vario?
It seems the US version (2.17) is a lot newer than the UK version (1.06)
My advice would be to use the latest QTek rom of the desired language.
Make sure you make a backup of the current extROM beforehand.
After the upgrade you can install the backupped cabs you want by hand.
This gets you the most stable situation.
On the wiki there is a brief explanation of the various files in extROM

Upgrading from Qtek 2.18 Rom to T-Mobile 2.21 Rom

Got a little question for you guys,
Right now I have a Qtek 2.18 Rom installed (which I like very much), but wanna do a hard-reset and was thinking about an upgrade to a newer Dutch Rom.
The only newer Dutch Rom is the T-Mobile 2.21 Rom, but I DO NOT like all the T-Mobile customisations.
So my question is, if I install the T-Mobile Rom and then cut it off right before the customisation tools, will it be a clean Rom then, almost the same if that I would cut of the Qtek 2.18 Rom just before customisation tools will be installed? Or do I still have a lot of T-Mobile junk installed?
If it will be a clean WM5, I will install some of the Qtek and some of the T-Mobile Extended_Rom CABS to get a "normal" WM5 again (with MMS folder, ClearVue PDF and stuff like that).
I ask this question because as far as I know I CAN NOT downgrade to the Qtek 2.18 Rom again once I upgraded it to the T-Mobile 2.21 Rom (am I right?) so I cannot test it out for fun
Regards,
Molski
Upgrading from Qtek 2.18 to T-Mobile 2.21 Rom (no problem!!)
Right now I am at work and got very bored, so I started to do some things for myself....like upgrading my Rom
Although I didn't got an answer to my questions, I took the shot and upgraded to a Dutch T-Mobile 2.21 Rom (with the chance that if I didn't like the T-Mobile Rom full of crap, I couldn't go back to my Dutch Qtek 2.18 Rom!).
So before my lunchbreak I upgraded it to the 2.21 Rom, tested it out for about 2 hours and came to the conclusion that it just sucked. I really don't like ANY carrierlogo's, skins, green batterymeter in the taskbar and other stuff of T-Mobile (cause I hate pink on my phone, it's not a gay or girls phone!).
So I tried to downgrade it and guess what, right NOW (while I am typing) my Rom is downgrading from T-Mobile 2.21 to Qtek 2.18 again without ANY problems!
This are the steps I have done with my Wizard (from the moment I got it):
- CID Unlocked my T-Mobile 1.08 Stock Rom
- Upgraded to this Qtek 2.18 Rom: RUU_Prodigy_2180706_21807106_20710_QTEK_Generic_DUT_Ship_2
- Upgraded again to this T-Mobile 2.21 Rom: RUU_Prodigy_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship
- Downgraded my 2.21 Rom to my (good old) Qtek 2.18 Rom: RUU_Prodigy_2180706_21807106_20710_QTEK_Generic_DUT_Ship_2
So I don't understand why it's possible for me to downgrade/upgrade to whatever Rom I want and that other people have so many problems with this issue.
When Qtek releases a new Dutch Rom (hopefully an AKU2.3 Rom) I will upgrade my Wizard and will see if I can still downgrade it again.

Molski
How did you make super CID? What tools did you use for it? I have Qtek 9100, ROM version of this device is 2.17.7.2 WWE.
IPL 2.17.001
SPL 2.17.001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.17.7.2
I did the following operations to make the device SUPER CID:
I synchronized the devece with Active Sync 4.1 .
I started aWizard 1.3 beta 1.
I checked options u and e with aWizard 1.3 beta 1.
Then I started Lokiwiz02b and checked option C.
But it did not help.
After that I tried application unlock for SDA, and then started option C with Lokiwiz02b, but it didn't help.
How can I make the device SUPER CID?
When my Wizard got delivered by the mailman, the very first thing I did was CID unlock with LokiWiz 2.0b (the stock rom was a T-Mobile 1.08 Rom), after that I did an upgrade to the Qtek 2.18 Rom, today I did the upgrade to the T-Mobile 2.21 Rom and also today I downgraded it again to the 2.18 Rom.
Nothing more, nothing less
But I wanna know one thing for sure: By the upgrading and downgrading I did I can be sure my Wizard is Super CID unlocked or not (maybe Summiter, Machinagod, Faria or someone else can answer this for me)?
Or do I have to do some more testing to make sure? Right now, I am willing to try any Rom...as long it is in Dutch and not WWE, I would freak out if I upgrade it again to the WWE Mr. Clean Rom or something and then notice that I can't downgrade anymore
Another question:
Is there maybe someone that knows when Qtek is gonna release a new Rom?
I noticed a positive difference in the performance between the 2.18 and 2.21 Rom, but just like I said, I hate T-Mobile Roms, because they have a bunch of crap in them (like carrierlogo's and stuff like that)? And there are no Clean Custom Roms in Dutch language, so I have to stick with the Qtek Roms for now!

After upgrage Rom
Hi,
after upgrade rom with italian upgrade utility, can I come back to original rom?
Bye
Giuseppe
yes, as long as your device is CID unlocked.
I don't understand
Anyone has...
Anyone has tested this ROM? What are its new features? I read that is a branded ROM (TIM)... can I install it on my P3600 without any problem?
Thanks in advance
I did the test, and I am unhappy
It seems to me that ihis is not the latest rom for HTC P3600 branded Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM).
It is only a "test rom", a sort of pre-release, probably, that somehow managed to survive and get shippet with the phone to the final user that dumped it. When ypu do a reset of the HTC P3600 the first screen to appear tells you "TEST ONLY - NOT FOR RESALE"
I am not very happy to have upgraded to this rom, since it does not add any feature to the original one (unbranded).
And, as you can read in another post, I cannot revert back to the original unbranded rom since this one that I have loaded has apparently CID Locked my device. Now either somebody helps me to unlock or I can wait and hope that TIM releases an upgrade in future.
Anybody knows how to get rid (at least) of that "TEST ONLY " warning ?
ATTENTION; New HTC Trinity ROM 1.20.408.1 (ITA)
In ftp site is this Italian ROM ATTENTION !!!!
The ROM is TIM Branded i have update my HTc italian rom with this ROM and i miss my phone ...
Its impossible to go back to the previuos release ...the phone its like Locked !
Please Mr. moderator this Rom its danger !
How Can I Cid Unlok My Device Please??
