I just flashed my Qtek 9100 with the T-mobile rom "RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe" from the ftp. I have tested a lot of different roms without trouble. But after the flash my Qtek is stuck at the bootscreen just displaying
IPL 1.06
SPL 1.06
GSM 01.12.10
Tried a hardreset and it says format complete but after a reboot I am stuck at the bootscreen again. I am terrified - can I make my beloved qtek to work again or is it just a piece of expensive junk now ?
Sorry, stupid me I was as easy as start in USB mode and reflash and it booted normally again

PLEASE help me, what utility did you use to reflash?
Just press the camerabutton and reset and then you will come to the USB mode and then just used the flash utility file again and start the flash again and then it shall work.
I used the RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe form the ftp once again and it worked

doesn't work form me because I didn't unlock before it crashed.. now I can't re-flash it..
ok, but then use the right official flash for your device - if it is a qtek use a qtek flash or imate if it is an imate device. The most flash files is available on the ftp.

10x easycure, you are an easy cure for my troubles I am downloading it and I am sure it will work this time ( have a QTEK 9100)
Another question: did RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe upgrade your radio ROM as well? what machine do you own? I think of flashing it eventually as well..
I hope it will work for you!
Yes the t-mobile upgraded everything - but it has a lot of crap in the extended rom that I don´t like and with the new rom versions it doesn´t seem possible to delete anything from the extended rom.
So I will flash it again when a newer flash from qtek is available. Tried the Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG.zip rom but it is just OS - I dont like the idea of using OS from Qtek and the rest of the software from some other brand.
I have a swedish Qtek 9100
easycure,
I don't like the crap either but I found someone's suggestion to soft reset the device just before installing software from extended ROM (just after aligning screen). I just had to install some CAB's manually to get MMS support etc.
Hope this helps you also

I tried that but I didn´t got the mms to work with that but then I shall make another try with that!
I installed Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA6XX-CV-VOICE-EmailWiz-TMO-03Nov05.CAB to get MMS support. I also installed coouple of CABs that had "Camera" in the name hoping it will improve camera functionality or something
Good evening all.
I tried a radio upgrade to version 1.15 (as I was having problems with the caller hearing me on the other end - low volume) and read in here that this should help.
I tried this upgrade via bluetooth activesync, and well I don't think that was a smart idea. The unit now only says:
Serial: V2.07
So, I think this is the boot loader mode. Now, have I cooked the device? I don't have a cradle, I assume I need one to finish the operation? Any tricks/tips would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
if you dont have a cradle, how did you upgrade?
you need to buy a cable/cradle that comes with a charger so that you can reflash it. if you can still get to the bootloader screen ur phone is not totally dead yet. since u tried it over BT, it couldnt communicate after it entered bootloader. once you get a cradle/cable you can try to reflash it from the bootlader screen.
hope i helped

Can I just continue the radio 1.15 upgrade?
Can I just continue the radio 1.15 upgrade? Or is there another technique I need.
Also, has anyone else had this 'mic low volume' on GSM problem fixed by updating the radio firmware?
Thanks again!
Unfortunatly I think you'll need to get the cable. Once you do, just install the Radio ROM as before with the device showing serial (though it'll change to usb when you hook it up).
Your phone can't boot because the radio rom is corrupt. The fact that you can see serial is a really good sign. This screen is apparently the recommended method to use for upgrading; it's the one I use.
hi, i've a big problem, i've upgraded my phone today, because it was a mda3 german locked on t-mobile. but the only way to make the upgrade work was not to upgrade radio, so i didn't put it. so, now the phone has been updated in my language, but when i power on it, it says no gsm. can someone say how can i do please!
Which rom did you flash? What is written after letter R while doing a soft reset?
no r
it does not appear anything, the only thing is that
NO GSM
D 5108.a771la
are you sure it's not a CDMA phone? ( j/k)
try reflashing the old rom. and see if it will go back.
if not...
then you are forced to flash the radio rom to a new version
because as you say it cant detect any if you flashed with the new rom.
but i dont see any relevance to the carrier when upgrading the radios, it's still quadband.
and you're stil using the SAME sim card.
hi, i still cannot reflash the radio of my phone, anyone can help me it always says "NO GSM" !!! PLEASE, HELP ME!!!!
please, tell me also if there is a way to format the memory where is installed the radio. thanks

As far as I know, the only way to 'format the radio stack' is to flash it with a new radio version.
Your original post is too vague as well.
You have a MDA III from T-Mo, that would make it a GSM = good
"only way to make the upgrade work was not to upgrade radio" - This doesn't make sense as the radio ROM is a separate flash from the OS ROM, the two are not part of the same flash code.
You also 'upgraded' your phone. From what to what? We need to know where and what ROM you flashed the phone to and from.
As for the screen showing NO GSM, is this after power cycling the phone by removing the battery? There is a know bug with WM5 and above where the GSM radio stack is not loaded on boot after a power cycle. The workaround is to soft reset the phone after it shows NO GSM.
(Huh, I'm a senior member now? Wonder when/how that happened... )
hi, thank you for answer.
i dont exactly know which os and radio rom were originally, i bought it original but used and the os was modded by t-mobile in deutch. i upgraded it to wm5 a771la ver 5.1.0.8 and the radio 1.15. then the os worked properly but it says no gsm. i know the bug you said me, because i have it on an another mda III of my brother, there after a soft reset i can solve this problem but it says NO RADIO on two lines, there, there is only one NO GMS . i know that the two roms are in two different flash memories infact i can flash and re-flash the os but when i try to flash the radio an error occurs. please, let make me know if these information can help you to solve my problem. thanks!

And what error is appearing? I didn't see it in your original post.
Personally, I'd try this:
Remove the SIM and any SD cards.
Make sure the battery is fully charged.
Put the phone into boot loader mode
Plug it into a XP (Not Vista) machine
Check to see if the OS recognizes the phone. I believe it will show up as some kind of USB device, not a Generic RNDIS device (I don't have my angel handy to check this)
Then run the radio flash program.

I had a similar problem..
I put my phone into bootloader then ran the upgrade
Not sure if it will word.
Other possibility is going back to WM2003 upgrade radio to 1.15 then ROM

when I start to do the upgrade it shows the radio version as none, will the down grade allow the radio to come back?
My wife and I both got the SX66 (cingular) at the same time. She does not want to modify or upgrade hers until mine is working. Is there any way to clone her roms and write them back to mine so that I can "start over"?
Hello,
I know you guys got some excellent walkthroughs, roms, programs and threads where you've helped a lot of people out but I could really use some personal feedback. I had hoped to fix my phone using one of the excisting threads but unfortunalty I can't get it to work with those.
My problem is one I've seen more of in here, I used the SE updater and it froze at 53%, I did what the program said, reconnected and it froze again at 12%, and again, again, etc. So I disconnected thinking it might be a bad USB port. But then the updater didn't recognise my phone at all. So I used the mtty program suggested in some of the threads and I got past the red/green/blue screen but now it's stuck at the Sony Ericson logo, as if WM6.1 is gone.
This is what the red/green/blue screen currently states:
KOV110
SPL-0.78.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
From what I gather this means I can't flash roms, right? I tried making it a hard-spl but when I use the tool it says it can't connect.
So is there anyway to get a rom on it and bring it back to life?
Thanks inadvance!
Get an original rom from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
copy .nbh file from the package onto your sd card and rename it to : Kovsimg.nbh then bring phone into boot loader via : vol down + power.
It should flash the rom now. i the problem is still present after that you
have to deal with mTTy but first try the flash...
i think you could also bring phone into bootloader without sd card inserted then connect usb cable, display should now print 'USB',and after that start rom update utility.
regards

Thank you for your reply, I will do as you said although I've already tried something similiar to this. I believe the problem was that I couldn't flash roms from my SD since I don't have the hard SLD. But I will try it anyway as soon as I get home.
In the mean time I would love to hear more ideas about how to fix my phone.

You really need have to flash the HardSPL first as, based in your above post, you still have not done that. It will be useless to flash cooked ROM with that. If you can still power on your phone and you have an activesynch in your computer, i suggest you download the HardSPL first and update your phone using your PC. If you are successful doing that, then you can flash all you want.
original roms will still work with original spl... but nevermind =P

My phone can still power on in the sense that it shows the Sony Ericson logo or that I can access the three collor screen. But it won't launch WM6.1. I also have a problem with updating to hard DSL. It does recognise my phone because without it connected the program finds nothing and with the phone connected it wants to start updating. It says ''updating from image version: (emply) to image version: 1.00.X1 Ipress next and it opens a progress bar on both my X1 and the PC. But it never goes beyond 0% and then gives me an connection error. I think it has something to do with not being able to get passed the Sony Ericson logo. I mean the hard-DSL program does recognise my mobile but activeSync is never active because my PC doesn't recognise a WinMobile phone (since it wont go past the Sony Ericson screen)

Really? That might fix my device then. Could you suggest a rom from the long list? Perhaps one that works on all versions? Because I'm dutch but my mobile has always been in english so I'm not sure what rom version I had. Except that it was identified as an R2 Rom by the Sony updater before it killed my X1...
Go here
Find the latest stock rom for your country (and perhaps your carrier) and flash it
No need to have Hard SPL for that

Alright so I got an R1 original rom (I now realize that the R3's were originals aswell) and it worked! I'm not sure if it was the different rom or the formatting with FAT32 that did but it works again. So I'd like to thank everyone who was kind enough to reply.
The device is incredibly slow now but now I can use the hard-DSL installer, right? DOes anyone have a suggestion for a good rom to use?

DON'T hard-spl if you're going to flash a stock ROM. And especially if you're going to use SEUS.
Try flashing the R3A first. The R1s are way slow, as you've seen.
