Need help with my qtek 9100

hi,
im very new with smartphones, actually its my first one (upgraded from samsung d600) i must state that before opening a new topic i did some search and wasnt able to get a clear view of how to do things...well that why im asking here for little guidance from fellow users with much more experience with this device...
well my main problem is that i have buy the device over the net and its in german language...after going thru forums i understand that can be fixed by updating it with an english rom, so i did register myself on qtek website got the latest wwe rom, thn i have notice that people have suggest to use the "Lokiwiz02b" unlocking tool before doing the update, my question is after i used the "Lokiwiz02b" tool how will i know that my device is unlocked? its already sim lock free...if its possible someone could layout a step by step guide? coz i dont want to end up with a dead qtek 9100...
my second question is that do i need to have a firewall and antivirus on the device? is it important ? if yes then which one ?
well in the end i would also like to add that its a great forum but i would have liked to see a "pinned" post for the first time users explaining step by step how to update the rom on there device...would have answered a lot of questions automatically...
thanks,

Guide is in the lokiwiz thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796
For other roms the CID unlock is important not the sim(un)lock!
there ist never a warranty for devices, all you do is at your own risk!
And i don't think AV and Firewall are necessary.

thanks but i had that thread in the fav. list...well it seems there is a way to do the unlock thing on newer version of qtek, get an older rom install it and then unlock n update to latest rom...what is still not clear is how to update rom...i like the way "lokiwiz" explains all in clear n simple way...can some'1 just put up step by step instrusctions on that rom update too? would be nice!
well here is what i have understand from reading a lot of threads on this forum:
ROM i plan to update to: 186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship
1) use "lokiwiz" as described in above theard
2) i plug the device in to USB and let ActiveSync to start (making sure i have more then 50% of batt. life on device)
3) then i run the executeable ROM upgrader from my pc
4) after the ROM is installed, the device will reboot
and thats its right? please correct me if im wrong.
one more thing that is unclear to me is what are the other things like "Radio, Protocol, Ext. ROM, GSM" etc ? are these all updated with the ROM update?
thanks,
i||uSi0n^

i-mate and qtek ROM's
Just to add my two cents to this. I have tried both the qtek and the i-mate 2.x roms and find that the i-mate one is less problematic.
Also, after much forum reading, it seems that people are having more issues with the qtek rom then the i-mate.
Just something to keep in mind.

So Many Test Roms, beta Roms: Will there be a Finished Rom

Well as the title says really :
So MAny Test Roms, beta Roms: Will there be a Finished Rom?

looking at your ipl & spl you should be in real trouble!!! I suggest reading up on "CID Unlocking" before you brick your phone

hey it is totally hybrid ROM
1.01 IPL - ****om Qtek (beer) ROM
2.17 SPL - Qtek ROM
2.25.11 GSM - Cingular/T-mobile Radio
2.26.10.2 OS - the newest OS by T-Mobile..
Are you crazy ??
If you have question like that, then you should more specific it

Well it works fine.it was a beta from early on.
But the reason I ask the question is that they roms start to be developed in beta, then they carry on the beta testing but password protect it for testers only.
Trouble is a final release doesnt seem to appear.

!danger, Will Robinson! Danger!

I second this! If you don't understand why, then you have absolutely NO business asking about custom ROMs.
If you continue, you WILL brick your device PERMANENTLY!
If you don't take the time to understand this, then expect no help from those of us who do!
HINT:
RTFM!

Blimey all I asked was a simply question?
from a reply :'If you don't take the time to understand this'
Maybe this could relate to my original simple question its not difficult to understand:
'So MAny Test Roms, beta Roms: Will there be a Finished Rom?'
Anyway no point in arguing I have reflashed my device even thou it was working ok and now its at all to date.

It was just a friendly warning.
As for your original question, ROM cookers will always be cooking ROMs. There may be "Official" carrier released ROMs, and active development of particular ROMs may cease as their makers move on to other projects.
So, simply stated, if you find a ROM that meets all of your needs, it is your "Finished" ROM, and you can stick with it and be happy. Otherwise, your answer is no.
I hope that clarified things for you.

alot of folks have this ipl and here is why...

If you follow the directions here on cid unlocking(I followed the link in faria's sig), when you use the suggested downgrade rom thats the ipl/spl you get, then if you flash a rom without the bootloader(ie faria 3.2 & others) this is the ipl you will have when finished, I used the xelencin2.26 rom to get my ipl/spl #'s back up.You could use the latest OEM rom also.
I dont understand why all these custom roms, have the bootloader in them, f-ing around flashing the bootloader is the fastest way to brick your device I can think of, the BL is what will save your sorry ass when you get sketchy and pull the plug at the 96% 20min wait, or screw up your flash in some other way, tho I think there is still a way to get a new bootloader flash on it, like a bootloader for the bootloader but Im not sure.
If the 1.01 ipl is not necessary for the cid unlock to work, somebody could just add the 2.26 to the "beer" downgrade rom.
Ive seen a few people jumping all over noobs who just followed the instructions to a "t", the downgrade howto should highlight this prob and suggest a fix.
I also would love to see a "final" from faria but he seemed pretty discouraged with the response to rc1 and doesn't want the headaches of a public release, I hope he does release, I love his rom and it took me from like 20 apps to install after a hard reset to about 6-8, It is by far the best rom for the wiz Ive seen so far...
faria:
just release it and dont sweat the support so much, Im involved with the "sat testing" community and ALL public releases are totally "at your own risk", If you know the rom is stable then anybody who bricks a phone did something wrong, but I know it is hard not to take things personally, when you give away something that you worked on and are proud of you feel a need to defend it. thanks if rc1 is as far as it goes PUBLICLY, you showed us all how great a rom could be, hope to see 3.0.0.0 FINAL soon...

That's why I included THIS LINK in my previous post.
I learned alot by reading Faria's excellent tutorial, but Dr P laid it out even more clearly, and added a step or two that seem both simple and prudent.
I'm not knocking Faria's tutorial, and I'm not suggesting Dr P knows more. In fact, I feel that BOTH Tutorials should be required reading (all the way through) before anyone attempts to unlock their device.

Anyone that was (or is) able to maintain a "C" average in High School should have absolutely NO problems following Faria's guide. I simply took Faria's method and repackaged the documentation to add the "Safe for Toddlers" stamp, that's all.
@bhang - if the 1.05 had a 2.x IPL or SPL it wouldn't work as you can't unlock a AKU 2.3 ROM with lokiwiz .2b. Plus it's the onl;y way to downgrade a ROM back to a 1.x if one needs to send back to their provider for warranty repair.

I figured there must be a reason, But alot of folks have had the problem, the how to should have the step added to get the ipl back up to a 2.x after.
This place is great, I hope faria will continue, along with everyone else to contribute as its the whole community that makes it great, and we were all noobs with few manners once(to some extent)...

what is rom

Ok I’m a total noob and ‘ve have already unlock my T-Mobile MDA so I can use it as a Cingular cell phone . about I know I got a G3 since my
IPL is 2.xx
Spl is 2.xx
Gsm 2.35.11
os 2.26.10.
Now my Question is what’s next? What’s that rom I’ve been reading about? howe do i know what version i have ? What is the os 2.26.10? What version should I be using? how do I REMOVE THE T-Mobile logo an stuff? I know it’s a lot of question but I figured that every one can jump in and give me some knowledge than you very much .for reading this.

ROM = firmware = Windows mobile
OS 2.26.10.2 = newest oficial firmware
Radio 2.35.11 - I think it does not exist
IPL/SPL = bootloader (it depend on the end of that number) if you have G4 (IPL/SPL ends 0001), than you can`t unlock and write unoficial (better then oficial) ROM
T-Mobile logo is easy to rewrite by any unoficial ROM or by your cooked splash screen

for simplicity...think of a ROM as the operating system and the extended ROM as the bundled software your computer comes with...
you can flash your phone with any wizard ROM you'd like...and as a noob you may not know that most ROM's are cooked without network customizations so you'll need (in your case cingular) the cingular customizations cab file (do a search)
like johnny said...most custom ROM's have all the tmobile/cingular/etc bull**** removed so you won't have to worry about it
the os 2.26.10.x is the version number of a ROM (newest official as of right now)
know this...you will void your warrenty when you unlock your phone further which you'll have to do...so first go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and then find a ROM you like...

THX a couple more questions
Ok 1st I need to say THX to both Johnny & j3d1n4s7y For your reply I got a couple more questions if my SPl is 2.26 so I need to down grade to bring it back to 1.xx right?
What is
Rom 2.26.10.2 WWE & Radio 02.47.11 what are their purpose?
thank you in advance

Be Careful...
-tiouko-
I notice that you want to upgrade/downgrade ROMs. Be aware that there are two types of devices, G3 & G4 and you should be aware of what type of phone it is. If when you boot your phone & the IPL & SPL read 2.xx then you have a G3 phone if it reads 2.xx.001 or something like that then you have a G4. Be aware that if you use the wrong type of ROM to flash you will brick your phone - read; read; read; before you start flashing your ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 by Doc P is a great read if you have a G3
Good Luck!!
And Btw, I believe ROM stands for "Read Only Memory" which is where you write the OS and then the applications only read from this place. It is pretty much similar to the ROM on your PC.

... and WWE = "World Wide English", the language of the ROM. FRE might be for French for example. The World Wide part means that the version is applicable accross all English Locales, as opposed to having localised English versions for Australia, the US, and the UK for example.

Yeah man thanks for the warnings I believe that my is a g3 because is 2.26 and my spl is 2.26 with out the extension. I'm currently doing my readings carefully before i do anythings major.

This is a wonderful thread.
I am a newbie and I am facing lots of problem with my ROM.
I am using Dopod838 and my phone warrenty is void.
I am thinking to upgrade the ROM since my original rom does not support A2DP.
Since my phone is unlock, whereby I can use any provider sim card and use it in my phone, do I still need to unlock my rom?

I got one las question i confirmed that my wizard is a g3 according to the ultimate guide I should downgrade if i want to run home brew rom which is what i wanr to do . I've already downloaded the button rom 1.o5 along with lockwiz o.2b my question is do I cid unlock first or do I downgrade with button 1.o5 than cidunlock second I could of swear I was suppose to cid unlock first.Please help.

5th Sticky has the information you need, its title is:
SOLUTION FOUND -CID/sim UNLOCKING FOR WIZARD WITH AKU2 ROMS.
Gives you a step by step process. Basically you can't CID unlock until you downgrade to the button rom. By your post it looks like you have the tools you need. This thread will give you the instructions on how to use them and when.

Thx Buddy exactly what I wanted to know I'm going to get started I'll let you know how I did.

Yes I m .. hehe! I hv lots to read.. I still got to read through all the sticky note so that I can load a new ROM to my dopod 838.
I'll probe u when I bump into problem.. hehe!

Some of the best ROMs are introduced (and downloadable) via this forum. So you can check out yourself what they include and if it fits your needs.
The latest ROMs are based on AKU 3.2/3.5, but they are still in development and can be a bit buggy.
Personally I am very satisfied using the Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom (based on AKU2.3).

If in doubt just CID unlock again. It doesn't hurt anything and that way you can be sure that you are unlocked.

G4 Tmobile USA,which OEM rom to flash?

I flashed my wizard with faria rom but I want the original from tmobile back, how I know if the rom is for G3 or G4 device? Any can point me which one.
Thanks.

tmo's rom
If you are a t-mobile customer then you can log into you myT-mobile account and in the top right-hand corner of the screen it should have a picture of your device. If you click on this it should take you to a page that has support for your device. this page should have their 2.26 rom on it. just download and install.

Will be this OK with my G4 device?
Thanks.

G4
Is your G4 device cid unlocked or not? If not there is a thread on the G4 forum that should direct you to roms that are ok with your device. Unfortunately thats about as far as my advice on a G4 can go but I will continue searching for an answer. Let me know if you find one first.

to check the rom just look at the numbers, 0001 at the end? it will confirm when you run the ruu on your pc

G4
I don't know if you have seen this one, I realize it is a custom rom and not the official tmo rom but it will work with a G4 and its a 2.26 rom that appears to be based off of tmo's ftp://xda:[email protected]/RUU_RIsidoro_2.26.10.2_WWE+CF2SP1_G4.exe

a: I was wondering to sell the phone, is brand new but get a little disappointed because is G4 and in the past I sold my G3. I sold the G3 and purchased a xv6700, my wife has a imate jam and was in LOVE with the G3( Qtek 9100), then I sold xv6700 and purchased a hermes cigular 8525(my main phone) and my wife still with the jam, now purchased the G4 t-mo usa mda for valentine's gift and want to customize it.(hope my wife doesn't read this forum)
b: The first T-mobile OEM worked, faria's v2 too, but the last from Cingular did not, it stopped at 95% and told me that was a wrong device, I tried twice to flash it. reflashed faria's. Did not tested t-mo custom. I want cingular extended rom but I flash it with faria's or t-mo roms and doesn't work, flased a custom extended rom and nothing, I want a cingular oem rom and then reflash faria's or wm6 rom, many useful cabs for the cingular network in the extended rom.
c: I use Cute ftp to access the xda ftp, I can see all the crap there... lol. But is there!
d: Sorry in my english, I speak spanish

You say you're G4 is CID-unlocked. You can flash every rom from aku2 and above on it now that doesn't contain IPL/SPL. Never flash a rom that contains IPL/SPL. So, if you want to flash the "original" rom back you'll have to remove the IPL/SPL part manual.
There's a great thread from Risidoro that explains how to do this:

Corrupt extended rom

I have a g3 wizard (UK vario) that has farias excellent wm6 rom on it (great work there)
I have an ipl and spl of 2.26 and have flashed my roms using the buttons>carrier rom method everytime.
Since using the loving wife extended rom update the first time everything was running fine. My memory card corrupted and I decided to reflash everything.
After trying to unlock my extended memory this time the network folder has become corrupted and will not let me deleete it.
Am I missing something here. I have tried to find out about the extended rom feature but cannot find much in the forum. Is there a way of flashing JUST the extended rom or will I have to flash the whole lot again
Sorry if I am asking a simple question with the answers right in front of my nose.
Thanks for all the hard work and hopefully one day I will be able to contribute myself.

Yes, you can flash just the extended ROM. Search for the blank extended ROM in this forum. You can also create a blank one using the guide in Molski's site.

k cheers. I will have a go and keep you posted

Bingo! Thanks. If I had thought about it hard I would have come to that solution. I used the rom cooker the first ever time I flashed my phone, the mr clean injected into t-mobile rom method. I don't think I would have had the correct settings though.
I just installed molski's extended rom and will leave it at that
Just learnt a new skill so i think after a little reading I may make my own extended rom......
Something new to play with lol
