I picked up a Qtek 9100 thats current got the vodafone rom on. I'd like to put T-Mobile rom onto it as its a tmobile sim that I will use.
I downloaded a rom for T-Mobile but when trying to burn it onto the device I get an error about it being the wrong vendor.
Is there a way I can remove this vendor lock so I can burn the tmobile software onto the device?
Neil.
also - if someone knows what the latest tmobile (UK) rom is I'd like to know
bueller?

Right now I am happy with my MDA Vario NL, except for one thing: T-Mobile branding. I've been reading a lot lately on this website and I figured out how to CID unlock and upgrade my T-Mobile ROM with let say Qtek 9100 WWE or i-Mate WWE (both in english).
Before I do this I just want to make sure if replacing/upgrading my T-Mobile ROM is sufficient to remove all the T-Mobile branding form the phone, including the splash screen at start-up, themes sounds etc.
Do I need to replace my Extended ROM as well with a compatible Qtek/i-Mate version to get rid of the T-Mobile stuff and how do you do this?? I have not been able to unlock my T-Mobile Extended ROM due to some errors. Is there an easy way to replace it??
Hello.
I've heard somewhere that the i-Mate ROM hasn't got any ExtROM. Is That true?
And another question: How can I downgrade a ROM what is says the next message: Upgrade Only!
iMate simply doesn't have any additonal files loaded in the Extended ROM. T-Mobile has specific customizations, like setting up the phone and text messaging to work on their network. If you use your phone on T-Mobile, I'd stick with their ROM (or a custom T-Mobile ROM) unless you're comfortable with changing all of the settings yourself.
As for the downgrade issue, you need to CID unlock your phone.
I've already CID unlocked my PDA, but the upgrade program says UPgrade Only. Did I missed something?
The I-mate ROM hasn't got any extrom, and the space of the extrom goes to the storage/program memory? so if I upgrade to an i-mate ROm I should get more storage/progam mem?
I flashed my firmware with one of the Cingular firmwares. (my mda was already unlocked) Now when I try to use one of the tmobile firmwares to flash back it gives me an error. This is what I have installed now.
Rom 1.8.10.12
Rom date 12/1/05
Radio version 02.13.11
Protocol 4.1.13.05
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.13.11
OS 1.8.10.2
Can anyone tell me what is going on here. The phone is working and the data services work. I need someone to post the link to the best firmware flash for my TMOBILE MDA (us version) I have service with Cingular. I need the ROM that has the best receiption and performance and the most features that will work on my MDA Please help.
if you want to go back to the T-Mobile original settings, you need to upgrade to the custom ROM and then downgrade back. If you just want to have the T-Mobile settings, stick with the 2.17 custom rom that Xelecin cooked. I've found that his 2.21 rom was a lttle buggy, but his 2.17 rom is spot on. It has the cid/sim unlockers built in.
good luck

Another Question
I did that and gave the MDA to my wife. I am looking to get a new phone and lookng at the Cingular 8125. Will I be able to unlock this phone with any of the utilities on this site.
I have been reading these forums for about a month now. I finally bought a unlocked MDA that I am currently using with cingular. I think my phone is CID locked don't really know. I want to upgrade the rom it still has 1.8.10.2 WWE Rom, It has 01.09.10 for the radio rom. I tried to update to the newest Qtek 9100 rom but it gave me a error on the updater. Can I update to the newest T-mobile rom and not have it locked back up? Please help I tell me what to do.
Thank,
Niko
hello there
Don't load the new tmobile version...download the 8125 ROM from here:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/cingular_8125.html
It will work and make the phone a Cingular ROM phone. I did it today and it's awesome.
If you decide to upgrade the ROM to cingular, when you get to the end of the progress bar and it seems to stop for a long time...wait longer!!! It will work.
Good luck.
okay i've successfully unlocked my sim and cid on my cingular 8125. i wanted to do this because i wanted to use a qtek 9100 rom. however i don't know which 9100 rom to download. which one is the latest one? i'm so lost now. also now i don't have any signal on my phone. i think its because i have to download the radio rom.
another question i have is... should i download the cingular radio rom or the tmobile radio rom since i am using a tmobile sim???
