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.

Upgrading to Windows Mobile 6

I've currently got WM5 and want to upgrade to WM6.
I've read the ROM upgrade threads and have the latest versions already in my K-JAM.
Is it as simple now as installing WM6 or is there anything additional to do?
Thanks,
Dave

Helloo
is a G3 or G4 ?
is CID locked ?
find the answers for this questions...., you can brick your device otherwise..

Thanks for the reply. Reading the Wiki I've found out that its a G3. The rest of the versions follow according to the startup screen. Apologies, I should have posted these originally (I intended to but got distracted).
IPC 2.16
SPC 2.16
GSM 2.07.10
OS 2.16.9.1
I'm unsure about the CID.
I've found this thread though and will have a good look at it;

thanks in advance

Read the sticky on upgrading G3/G4 wizards. I am unfamilliar with that IPL/SPL and wonder if perhaps your phone is not yet unlocked. You won't be able to flash a custom rom until you have CID/SIM unlocked your phone, and G3 phones are easier to work with than G4's. The sticky explains all. Read and re-read it. Then if you still need help, report back with info on what you have tried, etc.
I know this seems like a sh*tty answer, but in all honesty, the stickies pretty much explain all, and a little reading will help you to better understand what you are working with and how things are done.

Filling the forum with repeated questions that have been answered zillions of times before and using a thread title that doesn't say the issue isn't a good politic to 'survive' in this forum (at least without being flamed...)
Read the wikis, the stickies and get WST.
cheers

Need help upgrading - really confused

Hey all,
I'm pretty new to the whole PDA world. The most I had was a Dell Axim X5 when they first came out, and all i did was play solitaire and SNES roms on it lol but now I have a Cingular 8125 G4 and all I want to do is upgrade it to WM6 and after reading through the piles of information on this site, I'm very confused on the instructions. It seems every post is different, and I don't know which to follow for fear of bricking my newly acquired phone.
Would anyone be able to help me out by directing me to a STEP BY STEP guide of how to upgrade my phone without bricking it? My IPL/SPL versions are 2.21.000 and GSM 02.25.11 and OS is 2.25.11.1.
Thank you!!!!

You are in luck, I have made a full install guide with screenshots and all the programs that you need to install a ROM, except for the ROM itself.
Here is the link= http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394218

First, is the IPL/SPL 2.21.000 or 2.21.0001,not the difference with trialling '1' at the end,if it s 2.21.000 only,then its a G3 device & not a G4,but if it has '1' at the end like 2.21.0001,it certainly is a G4.
So,if its a G3 read and follow this gide :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
But,if its a G4,than it can be upgraded through either 'SoftSPL or HardSPL,you can read about them in the G4 sub-Forum,or the guide posted by ashasaur

thank you so much for the help! now if I can ever stop working so much I can find some time to upgrade lol seems like there's never enough hours in the day lol
thanks again!
