I have a new Qtek s200 from Spain. Rom version 2.9.728esn, ext rom 2.9.7.111 I had downloaded and installed a rom when I first got it brand new(rom 2.15.13.27) and two days later the unit got messed up. I don't think it was the rom change but merely a faulty motherboard. I was able to send the unit to Spain and it was repaired under warranty. I now have it but need to change the rom to English. I keep reading about G3 vrs G4 and different roms under each. How do I find out what that is?
Identify G3 or G4

Look in the Wizard G4 forum - it's the very first thread

Few days ago, I buyed my new Qtek 2020i. Two days spent playing with my new toy, then the decision: let's try to upgrade our baby.
Rule one: reading carefully wat's under your eyes could save a lot of troubles...
By the way, I'm not a judicious guy so I downloaded the rom for Qtek 2020 and NOT the one dedicated to 2020i (how little is that "i"!).
My bad luck made that the upgrading procedure - yes, I did it - warned me about the incompatibility between hw and sw only after it had erased the old rom. Result: device in comatose state.
Uh!
And now?
Finding an italian release of the rom for this device is more arduous than obtain an interview with the pope, so, the only way to resuscitate the zombie was intalling on it the english version...
Rule two: we, in Italy, say something as "wives and oxes have to be from your country", another way to say that it's better to manage things with wich you are in familiar terms...
OK, it worked, but... you can remark that my english is... a little defective. It does not appreciate my efforts and this feeling is shared by me...
First attempt: qtek 2020i is the same device as I-mate pda2, so I got a copy of it and tried to install ... it's not possible, sorry, says the message on the screen.
snort!
Rule three: audaces fortuna iuvat.
Looking for a way to get out of the scrape, I unpacked the executables of the two roms: the english version for 2020i and the italian version for pda2. I examined the files included and noticed that the composition was similar, so I decided to make an attempt replacing in the 2020i EN rom the ms_.nbf and the nk_.nbf files with the same ones I finded in the pda2 ITA rom. Made this, I launched the MaUpgradeUt_oID.exe and... wow! it runs!
Rule four: happy end.
now, my qtek 2020i works and speaks italian again. Actually, splash screen shows an I-mate logo... perhaps I'll find a solution for this...later.
Hope I have not bored you...
Bye
P.S.
ehm...new rom includes skype and kse truefax
I've upgraded radio version to 1.04.00 too
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...
Ady
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!
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 ?
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
B
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

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:

This is a great tool, Thanks!!!!!
Is there a way to do this? I bought my HTC Touch Pro 2 in The Netherlands but my Dutch isn't that great and I get lost in my phone a lot... Does anyone know if there's a way to change the ROM from one language to another? Thanks.
Flash HSPL so you can flash any rom you want... like the stock WWE version, or any custom rom found on this forum
This voids all warranty i believe, is there a way to put it back to the way I bought it, incase i need to send it in?
You can re-flash your TP2 with the original rom (i did it).
What kind of backup tool will I need to use on my original ROM before I start? I'm seeing instructions for the Magician etc but not the Pro2, is it model specific?
Please search before starting new threads, both of these are very common questions and have been answered on the forum and the wiki many times.
Thanks
