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,
i||uSi0n^

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.

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).

Qood question I'm not sure being that I', noob but i would assume that it's not cid unlock since you have to go the extra mile to get it cid unlock . can you tell me if you are seeing network logo ie singular or t mobile on the screen is yes it's possible that' it's not cid unlock. but keek asking hopefully some one would have the right answer for you. good luck

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

changing device model after a bad upgrade/downgrade

Hello baby and thanks to all,
this post is for the most experts I think.
I have done a bad upgrade/downgrade to my blue angel vodafone v1620 so,
before I have got an PH20B2 and now I have only a PH20B.
This is terrible!
I can't do anything now, no upgrade, no downgrade and, my radio doesen't work because the radio rom I can't install on it.
So I have only a win mob 2003 WWE without radio.
I have read all from this forum and wiki and I have tried a lot of file but I can't solve this problem without your precios SoS.
Someone could help me?
Sorry for my english.
Heard you AsAp!
GoodBye Bb

upgrade the radio with noid app

i have a similar problem, before upgrading i had a ph20a2 and now have ph20a1... flashing with noid doesn't change it back... any suggestions?

thanks xplode,
but if you mean mauppage/bauppage noid.exe
I've tried without success
thanks

i mean MAUpgradeUT_NOID.exe, and leave radio rom only in that folder, and the radio rom should be for your device only, this mess happens when you upgrade to a rom version which is not for your device

yes
I try now, can u tell me where I can found the radio rom for my device only?
thanks

Read The Damn Wiki Already!

OK i know you are new.. and maybe, just maybe a bit nervous because you have a device you cant use..
READ THE DAMN WIKI ALREADY!
There are so many ways to upgrade a rom, or extract it,
Let me give you a little hint.. Use that really bright shiny search button up there.. (ok so its not bright and shiny, but it is there!)
Press the down arrow, choose advanced search,
then type in MaUpgradeUt_noID,
then make sure that the forum is BlueAngel (on the right!)
then hit search...
That will bring all the posts with the words MaUpgradeUt_noID in the BlueAngle section of the forum.
There will be on that explains how to extract the radio for a released update..
and how to install it using MaUpgradeUt_noID instead of the other installers.
Multiple posting is stoopid.. This is the 3rd post i have seen from you regarding your device that you could have solved using your own head, and searching for the answer istead of sitting on your backside waiting for someone to post the link to solve all your problems.
I know this sounds harsh, and scarcastic, and a tad evil... EVERYTHING I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT A HTC DEVICE, I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS SITE,
and reading the wiki, and google, and all kinds of other services...
there is no shame in asking for help.. just exhaust all other options first!
And Spam posting is really really lame!

vodafone v1620
contact me for problem on vodafone v1620
I have a lot of experience on this device now
thanks to xplode

Radio Rom Links In This Forum ????

I remember seeing links for different version of radio Rom that someone posted after building the cooked rom. For the life of me I searched all over and can not seem to be able to find it. If anyone would be kind enough to link me.....Thanks

I think you meant this right?

Yes, Thank you. i cant believe with all the views and no one replied. What is wrong with the members these days.

Radio Rom Upgrade Details
hey paypalbid
I too downloaded the latest ROM (I believe from the Hermes site). Could you tell me the specific steps on how you went about upgrading just the Radio part. What utility did you use and did your phone need to have Olipro Hard-SPL prior to upgrading the Radio ROM
Thanks
V

To be on the safe side this is what i did
I did use the Olipro unlocker which were on this sticky thread, I did not use his later version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100
Then I use this program to just to make sure the SIM and IPL/SPL were unlocked completely
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347682
After that everything was good to go. Just hook your phone up to active syn and run. When it ask what IPL/SPL you have just pick 1.04 and let the process run on its own.

ROM upgrade
paypalbid
The links you send me was for Olipros Hard SPL and then something to check if the phone is unlocked
I have an unlocked phone already with an unbranded ROM. My question is to upgrade "Just" the Radio ROM what did you use. Was is it a Kaiser utility or was is it CustomRUU.
Please give me specific steps "Post" your unlock process and ROM upgrade to perhaps a branded or unbranded ROM.
Also to others reading this thread if you have an unlocked and unbranded ROM in your current TREO how to just upgrade the Radio ROM
To be specific I have V2.27 RWE ROM which put in 1.54.01.00 Radio and need to upgrade to either the AT&T 1.54.07.00 Radio or 1.54.30.10 Hermes Radio. Any links on the various Radio differences. This should be a sticky
V

i used the kaiser one. No radio is "the answer" it is all based on your carrier and where you at. Radio Rom is all about personal trial and error.

I cannot download from the ftp link...
Any other link?

you cam find them here:

If you upgrade normally and make hard reset as mention in readme file, then you shouldn't loose the radio. Basically no links.
However in C_shekar Roms posts always radio, try to install it!!

thanks...but i don't know how to install it can you instruct me to install in.
where i can found C_shekar roms ?
