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.

Newbie -ROM Version and upgrade question

:?
I am a newbie with an O2 XDA Mini S
ROM Version:1.1.7.5
ROM date:9/22/05
Radio Version:01.08.10
Protocol Version:4.0.13.18
Ext ROM Version:1.1.7.105
Would like to know which is the best ROM version and procedures to update the ROM And is it possible to install a different manufactures ROM such t-mobile,qtec etc to this 02 Device !!
Pls Guide me through !
Thanks.

Xdawiz,
...cute name for a newbie! The people here expect you to do your research (and I don't blame them!!) ....that means combing through posts as others before you did. This does take time and energy. For procedures to upgrade a ROM I suggest you do a search as there are quite a few posts that tell you how to do it (hint: including one of mine).
The best ROM version??? No one will be able to tell you that becasue it depends on what you are looking for and what you use your phone for and how many problems are you willing to deal with. Do you want the latest and greatest?? Summiters Cingualr AKU 2.3 is awesome! 8) Some of the older ones though have had more testing time and therefore have been refined more. Try going through the AKU2.3 thread and seeing what some of the issues are and if they are ones you can work with. Many of them already have fixes that are quick and easy. Also...maybe look at the "Mr. Clean" AKU 2.3 thread and see whats going on with that one as it does not have any carrier custimizations.
...the only question I can not answer is using a Cingular ROM for an O2 device. Never payed much attention to it since I am a Cingular customer - but the issue is addressed in the thread - read carefully I think you'll find good news!!!
If you want to upgrade your phone and you want to do it right you have to read the threads and the directions!!! There is no easy process. Look at people's IDs and their signatures to see if they are also O2 users.
GOOD LUCK!!!

ms_guy99,
Thankyou verymuch for ur reply !Atleast therz someone in this planet to listen to me.
Planning to upgrade to Cingular ROM.As i asked i have certain doubts to clear before i make my phone dead !Thtz why i am seeking expertise help!
Sorry if i am troubling !

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

WM6 HTC_Charmer Works

Okay I wanted to Apologize to everyone, It took some time to get my device flashed to WM6 and it’s know where I wanted. The only difference I did is not allowing the extrom to customize with HR.
No need to put any guide out if you read the forums you will get wm6 working.
Thanks.
Window Mobile6(thx 2 Vlodeck & Nocturne)
Rom version: 10.2.0.8 WWE
Rom date: 2/03/07
Radio version:02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09

Your charmer is just the same as with mine.
I think it is just setup problem why you can not connect to GPRS.
I have flashed a TouchFlo version WM6 to my charmer (WWE version), it works well.

that you cannot flash wm6 does not mean others can't, so please stop shouting "wm6 does not work".
many people are using it - and many people are satisfied with it - imho this is proving that WM6 works. most of this people ha CIDs locked devices - and they have no problems. I don't khow why you have yor problems, but you have just few possibilities:
1) you are lazy to read forums and finding solutions, or
2) you do not understand what are you reading about or
3) you are using some really old radio and this may be the negative effect, or
4) your charmer is somehow damaged machine, bad memmory blocks or stuff like that
Remember, that charmer is just one, there are no variants, no different generations. All your problems are pointing to something, that must be completely different from others. Focus on radio at first...you have the old one (the same I have - mine works fine)
Another thing that may affect the gameplay is your computer - try to flash from another one. There are no more possibilities.

Unlock your phone and you will never brick it. If you are rather buying new machine than finding solutions, get rid of WM devices, buy Nokia and leave us alone.

4. New phone has IPL: 2.06.001 SPL: 2.06.001 and it’s now even harder to try to flash

mentioned 1000 times in this forum...I cannot believe that somebody can still ask this...

The purpose of my thread was not to attack anyone. I think the information and effort here is very good and all the people like yourself and others developers are doing an outstanding job!
When you try and try and fail, I know it’s frustrating and some of us continue to try. I know I’m not done trying; I still want to be able to have my Charmer to operate under WM6.
I want to make it clear to everyone; I did take my time to read all the forums.
(PLEAES READ FORUMS PPL)
I’m not saying don’t try upgrading, (PLEASE DO TRY!) and don’t give up, take a break to clear your head and find other means to your goal.
All I’m giving is a caution. I flashed my device with out taking my time to go thru the step’s and it crashed. Lucky the T-mobile Company replaced it because my contract is not up!!!!
And lasting thing before I go, I’m not attacking anyone this is General for all!!! I thought forums were for discussions purpose and to help each other find solutions. So when I put information out here, it’s to see if anyone had same issues and maybe give me a some idea to resolve.

Touchflo version sounds good. Where, where, where!!!!!

People, please do not get so excited about that touchFLO. Firstly, it doesnt work as it should. You have to press softkey to launch it first. Secondly its slow and inconvenient.
And thirdly, happy to hear that Ulymanchild finally got the wm6 issue sorted out

vlodeck, have you tried the Wizard versions then?
I just like to try new things out, if I didn't i would still be on my original T-Mobile wm5 rom.
cheers

Sorry, these two days I did not come to here.
Here is the URL of TouchFlo version of WM6 (Charmer), but it is in Chinese. (Fantastic B4, with Touch FLO for 818+).
You should register first.
http://www.it1861.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=5480&page=1&fromuid=2244#pid36089
PS1: This rom is not created by me! I just quote it~
PS2: If you can not download it or do not want to register, just tell me a place I can upload it.
PS3: My charmer: 3.08.0001/3.08.0001
Thanks.

Yes, I agree with you strongly. I don not think using TouchFLO is a good way to operate my charmer. I flashed it and tried it, but I will not use it again but show it to others.

Vlodeck, I wanted to thank you for those kinds words also, I wanted to put out that it was allot easier for me to bootload essential v.002 by extracting the nk.nbf and placed it on 000.4. I think the trick was nb2nbf_wizard.
Oh and I was able to cid unlock with Lokiwiz03 after I flashed to wm6 YOU GUY’s ARE THE BEST!

Where to start?

Ok, some of you may remember me from the Wizard world. I am the chef for the "Jag" series and "NTS" of roms there. They are old roms I know, but then i decided to be stupid and went to the SP world with a Moto Q9h, 6 months in, I miss my touch screen. I have an AT&T Tilt on the way now. So, to the main point of this post.
Where do I start with unlocking the Tilt, and also, Since I am on AT&T what is the deal with the radios. I know I want to use a non standard ROM on this phone since bloat ware pisses me off.
How do i determine what radio with what rom and so on?
Thanks for your help. I have tried to search the forum for answers but I am totally lost here. Guess I need to leave behind the world of the Wizard and one radio for all roms. LOL.
I missed you guys!!!!

Re the unblocking I think that id the CID Unlock guff you have to run (don't quote me, my phone was already unlocked)
Then read the pages on flash tutorial which turns out to be easy to do and then pick a ROM to flash and away you go

Wow 738 posts and you don't know how to read stickys.
Check the links in my sig (and just about anyone elses) or the sticky in just about every forum for the kaiser.
welcome back.

Ok, So just to test my understanding, I need to check each ROM release and see which HardSPL they used to make the ROM.
Example:
The Garmin.DK.1 WM 6.1 Premium ROM states the instructions are to install HardSPL 3.56. I have read how to do this and it seems pretty self explanitory in the instructions. After that, then I flash the rom, once the rom is complete, I do a hard reset on the phone.
Am I correct in those steps?
Now, my next question.
I have read here in the wiki that I need to ensure that I am using the correct Radio for my phone. Confused here a little bit.
Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 has this little disclaimer on the second post,
There will be 3 roms compatable with the latest AT&T Radios 1.65.14.06 and Radio 1.65.17.10
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does this mean I have to hunt down a specific version of the radio in order to use this ROM?
Thanks again for the help.
738 posts does not mean I should know how to read a sticky. Most of the stickys on the Wizard forum werent stickys when I read them....
And I have worked with alot of the authors of those stickys too.

There are a few things you want to do:
First, install a hardspl I would recommend 3.28, 3.29, or 3.56
Second, security unlock your device
Third, Flash a Rom. A majority of the rom's here come with radio's. The best radio's available right now are 1.65.20.29 (great with getting a quick gps fix and fairly stable) 1.58.25.17 (which is compatible with almost every cooked rom here which offers great battery life and fairly stable reception at least in my area) or the newest available radio which is in my signature (offers decent gps fix, great reception and a decent battery life.
It is easier to learn as you go rather than attempt to cram it in all at once.
Good luck

Thank you red.
I just dont want to brick my tilt first attempt. I guess what im looking for is a quick rom, very stable and has no bloatware.
I think iwill work on the device with standard rom first so that I can learn the device itself. Then i will start reading rom release posts...... every page.
I like to have all info before i take the first step. expecially on something this expensive.
