Flash QTEK Rom To MDA ver. 2.21

Hello!
I wan't to totally get rid off the T-Mobile branding and so I decided flashing the original qtek rom ver. 2.18 GER. I used awizard to unlock cid, backup roms and afterwards tried to flash the QTEK rom. Now the program throwed error 296 "upgrade only". I read several posts in the forum describing how to do a downgrade and downloaded the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe which I tried to flash to the phone before upgrading to qtek ROM. But when I try to flash the custom rom the updater gives me "ERROR 300":this ROM cannot be used with your phone.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
TIA.

okay... I read a bit more and seems that there is currently no possibility to flash another rom into my phone with version 2.21 without turning it into a brick, right? so I think I will better keep the TMO software until anyone finds a possibility to do an up- or downgrade on this...

If your IPL and SPL were 2.xx, then you can upgrade your ROM to any 2.xx Wizard rom by following this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
Alternatively, you could install my cooked rom Wizard_Love 2.26 (it is safe, because it doesn't contain IPL and SPL part) which is a operator-independent ROM.

thx wlove!
so just to clarify that I understand it right- with this tutorial I WILL be able to flash the ver. 2.18 of the QTEK rom to my IPL/SPL ver. 2.21 phone?

Yes, just follow the instruction carefully, then you will definitely get it done (not just for 2.18 version, but for all the higher rom version as well). I have done it over and over again using this method without any problem. This method is safe, because it doesn't your touch the IPL and SPL part, even if your computer was power off in middle of flashing, you'll still be able to flash it again, your phone is not death yet. However, remember do a full charge of your battery before upgrading your ROM. Good luck.

thank you! I was finally able to flash my phone with an unbranded rom version!

Nice, enjoy your new ROM.

missed upgrade

I just upgraded my QTEK 9100 with the latest RIsidoro rom and have now a 2.26 OS but...always an ipl 1.03 and a spl 1.03.0000.
The device hangs and I can't have any activsync runnuing to reflash to an other version. How can I recuperate my PPC?
Thanks in advance

To get you started have a look at these threads:

More info required.
When having problems with Rom Upgrades you really need to provide as much information as possible about your situation.
Please state the following:
What Rom did you have prior to upgrading, include IPL/SPL numbers.
Do you know if your device is G3 or G4 flash chip?
Is your device CID Unlocked?
Have your read (thoroughly) the instructions provided for the Rom you attempted to upgrade?
My initial guess would be that the Rom you flashed doesn't include IPL/SPL (as Risidoro clearly states in the Original Post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700)
In this case, you need to flash one of the Operator provided AKU 2.x Roms to get your IPL/SPL up to 2.x BEFORE you flash Risidoro's Rom to your device.

Thank you for you reaction
Before flashing I had following situation
IPL 1.03
SPL 1.03.0000
GSM 1.410.0
OS 1.37.10
I didn't saw the thread wher it said that the isodoro flash wasn't a complete one. So I upgraded the device with this rom on the above config
After flashing with Isodoro I have same IPL and SPL no GSM anymore and OS 2.26...
I have no USB connection anymore, I supose I can not flash anymore. The device is extremely slow. The only rescue I see is eventualy to flash the device again with the mini SD.
Before I started the first flash I did a CID unlock. Actualy i don't now if it is locked again.
If tou need more info don't hesitate and thanks for helping.

I'm going to give you some general info but you will have to do your own leg work to put this together.
The Wizard Wiki will contain some of the information you need:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
Also see the stickied posts at the beginning of the Wizard upgrading forum.
I am assuming that your device is not properly CID Unlocked (although it may be doing it again will not harm your device).
First you will need to download an Operator Rom, I would suggest this one:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
as it is an official Qtek AKU 1.x Rom.
Second place your Device into Bootloader Mode (search on it) and run the update that you downloaded.
At this point you are pretty close to where you were when you started.
Now, CID Unlock your Phone! Use this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
If you have followed the instructions and everything went okay then you can now flash any of the Roms you (except one that are marked as G4 only since you appear to have a G3 Device).

Looks like you flashed a 2.xx rom with no bootloader into a 1.xx system.
First try a full 2.xx rom from a carrier (cingular 2.25 comes to mind) then reflash the rom you want. Be careful playing with the phone in the current state as the battery will drain and not re-charge. I had to have a friend charge my battery for me when I did this same thing.

many thanks
I followed the procedure you give and recuperated my phone.
Thanks a lot for the assistance.
Merry christmas and happy new year

How can I upgrade my Radio ROM to 2.19.11?

How can I upgrade my Radio ROM to 2.19.11?
I'e got:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.12.10.0
OS 6.0.0.1
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Choose one from below, then flash it directly.
T-Mobile-NL_2.19.11_Radinly
T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly

Tried that but then my GSM was gone... no Radio whatsoever... Any ideas?
Thanks.

Did you unzip the folder and run ROM update? If you did then the problem is you need to upgrade to IPL 2.26 & SPL 2.26

It's because you have a 1.xx IPL and SPL. The only way that it is going to work is if you upgrade your ROM. You're going to have to upgrade the whole thing cuz if you would just upgrade the IPL/SPL to 2.xx to make the GSM work then the OS wouldn't.

OR download latest official carrier Rom AKU 2 version,to upgrade to IPL/SPL2.xx,than upgrade to Radio 2.19 if he doesn't want to opt for unlocking and upgrade

Thanks for the replies... just one last question, if I upgrade the whole ROM to IPL/SPL to 2.xx will the XDA remain unlocked (SIM & CID)?
Thanks.

Yes it will, unless the ROM contains a CID but I don't know of any that do. I know for sure that the T-Mobile ROM doesn't since it's the one I always flash back to before flashing a newly cooked WM6 ROM.

Downgrade or change ROM, how?

I have dopod 838 which i already upgraded to WM6 (for the first time, since I use PDA ) I'm following the upgrade tutorial from the wiki and I use the WM 6.0 ROM made by mfrazzz.
my question is how to downgrade to WM5 (original from dopod asia)? I already download the ROM but I'm not sure whether i need to downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx like when I'm upgrading it to WM6?
I see another new ROM is released, and i want to switch to that ROM, must I re do all the steps I done when upgrading from WM5 to WM6?
note the IPL/SPL is 3.xx on my dopod 838.
please help. thanks

Please see mestrini's response

Never go from 3.xx to 1.xx as the SPL might get locked. Stop at 2.xx before downgrading further.
WM5 can work with 1.xx and 2.xx but WM6 only with 2.xx and 3.xx

oh no.. I did re-flash it back to 1.xx per instruction on the wiki. I then upgrade the ROM to T-Mobile ROM which is 2.xx, after that upgrade again to 3.08 then upgrade to WM6.1
the upgrade is success, do I need to check for something? as you said that the SPL might locked?
so.. in case i want to change/downgrade ROM i just need to re-flash to T-Mobile ROM which is 2.xx?
thank you for your answers

Sometimes,if you directly downgrade from 3.08 to 1.xx,SPL gets locked and it's very difficult to bring it to 1.xx,so its advised,if your phone is already CID unlocked and upgraded to 3.08,don't downgrade to 1.xx again,but if you want to reflash a new rom and want a solid base like T-mobile,then just downgrade to 2.xx,avoid going down to 1.xx.
Cheers!

OK, thanks for the answers

Noob Question

Ok I need help. I just picked up a second-hand wizard from someone who claims to have done all the unlocking and has flashed it to WM6 Professional. On the bootup screen it shows:
IPL 2.16
SPL 2.16
GSM 02.19.11
OS 11.0.0.1
What I want to know is how I can install the TouchFlo w/ cube Rom as I find that more intuitive than what I am currently using. What would I need to download, upgrade/downgrade to get this running from start to finish.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Which is the present Rom installed on it ? Which wm6 is it ?

this is what it reads in the about
CE OS 5.2.1933 (build 18533.0.7.0)TNT
from the threads im reading, some say i need to flash to an official rom, then downgrade to 1.x then upgrade to 2.26 and then flash to whatever rom i want. is that right?

As you are already running wm6 TNT series Rom,it means your phone is already SIM/CID unlocked,there's no need to downgrade to 1.xx to unlock and then upgrade to 2.xx and flash any wm6 rom.
Yes ! its highly recommended,if you want to change to any other Rom,first flash the T-mobile 2.26 to provide you a good base,but its not necessary,you can download any wm6 or wm6.1 rom and just connect the phone with pc via usb cable and flash the rom.
You can try the latest wm6.1 TNT.19199 series v.2 Rom,it has TouchFlo version also from this link :-
