Which ROM should I reflash with?

Hey, hows it going?
I'm pretty new to the whole wizard scene and am trying to get as much info as I can. I'm in the Netherlands and am about to buy an MDA Vario but they come with the Dutch ROM and I need the english version.
So my plan is to get it unlocked and then reflash the ROM. So my question is:
Which ROM would be the best to reflash my Vario with?;
1) K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe
or
2) Qtek_9100_RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship.exe
I really just want the excess unneeded junk off the thing, like antivirus (and I plan on installing the extended ROM unlocker) and have it run as fast as possible. I'd like to keep skype etc, but I'm sure I can install that afterward. I also heard the Qtek ROM has some bluetooth issues? And I think I read that the K-Jam ROM is like 5 days older than that Qtek, not sure if there is a difference though. Which one would you recommend? I'll be using it with a T-Mobile SIM in The Netherlands. Thanks for any suggestions

O2 XDA Mini S - What is the best ROM for Push email

Hi All,
I have been reading the posts on this forum for the last 5 days and just need some advice.
Just got the Mini S and woudl like to know what ROM to upgrade to, various posts mention the QTEK or the IMATE and to be honest I am a little confused.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I need to use the lokiwiz program to unlock the SIM and CID before I attempt the upgrade ?
Thanks
Dan

You would also need to remap the keyboard as the O2 version has a different keysheet. The O2 build with push will be available within the next week or so.

I'm in a similar boat to the OP. Been watching the forums for a couple of weeks and am finally in a position to upgrade the ROM - still not sure to go QTEC or iMate....and now Lord Buckingham throws O2 back in the mix!!
@ Lord Buckingham - can you qualify where you have heard the news about the O2 ROM as all I have seen is pure speculation so far on these forums?
If any other Mini S owners can comment on the QTEC/iMate ROM argument that would also be a great help!
thanks.

I've just installed the Qtek 2.17 Rom on my mini, but now i'm having activesync problems. Not sure it's related, although I am tempted to try the Kjam 2.16 rom to see if it's any better. Will let you know when i've installed it...

I've been using the iMate 2.16.9.1 rom since it came out in feb, and it works fine for me. Dtharby, To answer your question you do need to use lokiwiz to unlock the SIM and CID before upgrading

After hacking around on my Laptop, I've resolved the activesync issue I was having, without going back to 2.16. So 2.17 seems stable, fast and bug free so far...

thanks guys. It's reassuring to hear there's some Mini S users in the UK that have has success with the new ROMs.
I think I'll try flashing tonight....maybe going to go for QTEC (just cause it came out later!!)
One last thing - is it actually possible to roll back to the shipping O2 ROM from these new 2.x ROMs?
cheers!

Qtek 9100

Help, I have Qtek 9100 on the O2 network in England, it doesn't have all the O2 customisations so I'm thinking it is a basic Qtek ROM. At the moment it is running the 1.1.7.5. ROM. I'm looking to upgrade the ROM, the 2.1.7 seems to be the best. But despite reading through the forum I have some questions.
1 - Does the Qtek 9100 need CID unlocking? I've read that if I install the Qtek 2.1.7 upgrade I won't need to CID unlock the phone.
2 - Is the latest ROM shown on the Qtek site the 2.1.7. version?. I have tried to log on to that site but its says it does support the IMEI I've entered.
3 - What is Cingular?
4 - Could some one post the link to the 2.1.7 Rom English upgrade?, I've found a step by step guide to upgrading and loads of links to different ROM's But want to be sure that I've got the link to the right one.
5 - Is it worthwhile carrying out the upgrade, and how likely am I to bust my phone?
Thanks in advance for the advice, In short all I want the best upgrade with the least amount of hassle to upgrade.

Hi,
If you stick with the Qtek rom, you dont need to CID unlock...but it is worth doing for future use...as you can not CID unlock a v2 ROM....yet.
Cingular is a US phone company...like O2, T-Mob etc.
If you follow the instructions, you should be ok, i have done a couple, and touch wood have all been ok.
I think you need a ROM from this lot:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Qtek/
but I dont know which one is the newest...most stable etc.
GOOD LUCK

I'm in a similar situation here, I've currently got the O2 Supplied 2.21.4.1 WWE ROM, most people here seem to be upgrading to other ROM's such as those supplied by QTEK... looking at the Wizard ROMS on the FTP, which one should I be upgrading to? And what are the 'prophet' ROM's on there?

think I've got it it sorted now, shouldn't need to CID unlock if I use the Qtek 2.1.7 release. Not sure I need any other companies Roms unless someone is going to tell me they have some features I can't live with out ?

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.

Thanks for fast responce, but I'm not tmobile customer, just want the OEM rom for sell the phone(maybe)..
Thanks.

Found this on the ftp: RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship.exe
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.

I think is cid unlocked because I paid the imei-check unlock($38.00US) and runned the program and unlock the phone...
Thanks

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

Just curious as to a: what your main objective is, b: did any of those other roms work, and c: where did you find this last rom? I don't see it on the ftp site.

LOL...
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:

Stupid Rom Question

Ok, I have been flashing roms for a while now and something crossed my mind. Usually I get a rom from the kaiser forum because others reccommend it... The questions I have are about using roms from other companies such as a t-mobile rom on my att tilt. Is this possible/ reccommended? Is that basically what i am doing when I flash a wm6.1 rom to my device other than the ATT Tilt specific rom? Does that rom that I want to flash to my device have to be made for some variation of the HTC Kaiser / TnTyII? I hope the questions that I am asking make sense.

should work just fine...that is, you are talking about a vario III rom, right? CID unlock lets you do all that. As long as it is a variation of the kaiser...not no hermes or wizard.
