Okay, I am new to the world of WM5 and HTC phones. I am a die hard PALM user, but I am the IT head and the users wanted Windows phones and they couldn't wait for the TREO 750v.
I have applied different ROMs from here to the Qtek 9100 and the IPL/SPL has not changed from 2.17.0001.
What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to have these updated. The phone and os updated fine to:
GSM: 02.25.11
OS:2.26.10.2
user 'search' function
ipl/spl = bootloaders - leave em alone on CID locked G3 and G4 devices

You have G4 Wizard, you can only upgrade ROM without IPL/SPL.
Thanks for the answers, as for the person that posted bootloader = blah blah, thanks, now I know what the IPL and SPL are bootloaders.

Hi,
i am very new to all this stuff on wizard upgrading and have tried to do alot of reading....
The was something on G3 and G4 that determines the which one i have from the IPL/SPL...
MDA Vario - T-Mobile UK
IPL - 1.06
SPL - 1.06
GSM - 1.12.10
OS - 1.6.2.4
these are the details of my phone...
can someone tell me what upgrades i can use for this fone?
thank you VERY much.

Looks like you can use basically anything. Just CID unlock using the LokiWiz or aWizard utilities on the FTP and make sure to keep your IPL/SPL somewhat near your other versions. I'd reccomend, CID unlocking and upgrading to the latest version of a "stock" ROM like the T-Mobile 2.26 here http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/software_detail.cfm?id=80 and then play around with other ROMs. At least then you have a backup ROM to go back to.
thanks mate... appreciate it..
just gonna try it now.
Hey, I am the new owner of a Qtek 9100 purchased from ebay. This is an actual Qtek device, not a branded T-mobile, or Cingular version. This 9100 should be completely unlocked correct? It was advertised as such on ebay. Is there any way to verify its lock/unlock status?
I have been reading about firmware upgrading and beleve my 9100 is a G4 device. My version info at bootup is as follows
IPL: 2.17.0001
SPL: 2.17.0001
GSM: 02.02.10
OS: 2.17.7.2
I know the IPL/SPL are bootloaders. Since this should be an unlocked device do i still have the same G4 IPL/SPL concerns with flashing the firmware that i have been reading about in various threads. Can you point me to some threads with more info about the IPL/SPL? When i do a search for these terms, nothing comes up.
From what i gather the AKU has something to do with the version of the OS. What diffrent AKU versions are available, is there a table or list somewhere with the differences betwen versions? As with trying to search for IPL SPL info, searching for AKU turns up nothing.
Thanks,
Doug
Doug - I did and have exactly the same as you..... Bought a QTEK 9100 on eBay. Mine arrived with 1.x IPL/SPL/ROM (I can't remember specifically which version it was). I quickly updated this using the official update that is linked via the expansys.co.uk website to the same version you are running (2.17 WWE).
After a day or so I found the xda-developers forum and downloaded some of the 'cooked' ROMs that take it to the current 2.26 version. I however had a problem installing the RISidoro ROM and I assumed my QTEK 9100 was completely unlocked - it wasn't. It was Network Unlocked but not CID unlocked; I couldn't install the RISidoro ROM until I CID unlocked it using the Lokiwiz tool. I could install the MRClean 2.24 ROM but not RISidoro's 2.26.
Have a read through the RISodoro ROM thread for info on how to CID unlock you 9100 - it seems G3 versions are easy to CID unlock but not G4 versions, I was lucky enough to have a G3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700
I am still trying to understand the AKU 2.3 & 3.2 thing but I think this is a Windows Mobile version thing. Hopefully someone will post specific details of what the AKU is......
HTH

OK, I read through that thread, and didn't really give a good answer to CID unlocking a G4. I keep seeing people talking about unlocking the G4. I saw a few posts with people confirming the steps to unlock a G4 but they never got any kind of response if they were right. That thread almost seems like a mess of suggestions for both G3 and G4 and you can easilly get lost not knowing if someone is talking about a G3 or G4 in their response.
Is there any kind of utility that can be run on the PC with the 9100 connected to verify the CID lock status, or a utility to run on the 9100 itself?
If i am CID locked. Are there any EXACT step by step directions for unlocking the G4. I dont want to brick it.
I'm a newbie here. Please provide me the link or suitable Flash Rom for G3 Wizard O2 Mini S. My SPL/IPL is 1.03. I search for 1 day still cannot find it, thanks!
You wont find the ROMS itself anymore. Thanks to M$.
You can find a lot about good ROMs and customisations.
You should CID and SIM unlock your device, use the Wizard Service Tool for that
Then choose (WWE= English) and find the ROM you want (I use a modified official AKU 3.3, originally from T-Mobile Croatia)
Then Flash your device.
I just succesful install WM5 English version, and with IPL and SPL 3.08. I try with install many kind of WM6 but nothing happen, still remain WM5. What should I do?
My O2 mini S info:
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2

It is likely that you did not CID unlock the device. Just look at the second post and the stickies in this forum.

I have read the guides to unlocking and from what I see there are none that work on 3.xx SPL/IPL. I was able to downgrade the IPL but never the SPL.
I have seen several threads that say if you flash button rom (several times) it will eventually downgrade the SPL also, but all night as I worked I flashed the button ROM (about 12-15 times) and still can't downgrade the SPL from the 3.08, only IPL goes to 1.01
Tried the original Cingular ROM and it isn't accepted (I think because I have a higher SPL than the original 2.26), tried using the ShellTool, Tried SoftSPL too but none worked.
IS THERE A WAY TO DOWNGRADE THE 3.08 SPL SO THAT I CAN USE THE LOKIWIZ02 OR LOKIWIZ03. I saw a thred saying that 3.08 can't be downloaded but I also saw SEVERAL saying to just keep insisting with the Button rom that it will eventually work (but after almost 15 consecutive tries I've had it).
Any help would be GREAT.
thanks
MGF
IPL 1.01
SPL 3.08
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
Button ROM doesn't work for that. I tried numerous times too. The only ROMs that work to downgrade to anything else from 3.08 are the OEM releases from either T-Mo or AT&T.
The Cingular ROM isn't accepted because it checks the OS version number. I had to try several peoples' ROMs until I found one with a low enough version number to where the Cingular ROm could flash on top of it.
Try to flash T-Mobile 2.26 to bring it down to ipl/spl 2,26 then go for button's 1.05,hope it'll do the trick.
Good luck
p.s. you can try the wizard_love_Rom also,lol
I want to downgrade my phone, too. but the original T-Mobile AKU2.0 say while reading the phones ROM-Version "only update"... so, with this no downgrade is possible.
How can i CID unlock with AKU3? I want to flash a new ROM from xda-developer as well... damn
Regards
Thomas
You could probably extract the nk.nbf and use the standard tools to flash it.
The nk.nbf can usually be found in a .tmp folder in c:\documents and settings\yourname\Local Settings\Temp
Thanx for your Hint... but which "Standard-Tool" should i use?
Sorry for this silly question, but i am new in experience with my vario

Seems to be a G3 that wasn't correctly updated, since the IPL and SPL don't match.

Thank you
where can I find explanation of the update
Sorry I got your personal message but didn't recognize you. Later I remembered that it was this thread. Look at this thread for a tutorial on how to upgrade. I believe that you have a G3, but the IPL and SPL versions do not match. When you finish the tutorial, both IPL and SPL should be 3.08 (or 3.09, but mine is 3.08).
Good luck. If you have any other questions, please ask.
For ROMs, search the 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development forum. My favorites are in my signature.
I have read The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards
but the link for (T-Mobile 2.26 rom)is dead ...where can I download it??
i have download another rom but the version is T-Mobile 2.6 and not
T-Mobile 2.26
can i use it without problems??
thank you for your help and your patience
You can still download the official T-Mobile ROMs from their website, as long as you are a current T-Mobile customer, or at least know a telephone number of a current T-Mobile customer.
Currently, the link is:
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm23294.xml?&A2L.SERVICE=UpdateSoftware
And the filename is:
MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
I found the download link here
(T-Mobile 2.26 rom)
rapidshare.com/files/37669086
/MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
I will try to update my device
Thank you
