Why I can´t connect ???

There are almost a week that my Qtek 9100 is unable to connect to my Phone network. It keeps searching and searching. When I click on Manual Network Selection, I receive an error msg: "Unable to read setting from the network. Try viewing settings later ou disconnect data connetion and try again". What should I do?
ROM version 2.24.10.1
ROM date 4/17/06
Radio Version 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version 2.24a Mr. Clean
The SIM card is ok (I´ve tried on another mobile)
Thx

Did you already tried a (òh , ooh) hard reset or reflash? Otherwise it seems you're phone-receiver circuit is defect; you've got to go for repairs...

I´ve tried both: hard reset and reflashing with new ROM....
Nothing
This started after my battery runned out of power....

It didn't occur by any change after a new update..?
And what about you're radio version: isn't it your protcolversion? So, what radio version had you before and which one now?
(btw seems stupid but... try new sim unlock)

No, I upgraded to the new ROM after the problem....
I did a mistake about the versions: My radio version is 02.25.11 and the protocol version is 4.1.13.12....
I really don´t know the number of the older version of the radio, but it was working fine.
btw, the mobile was bought unlocked...
Thx, anyway.....

¹ (...but did you try sim unlockin' again...?)
² (off course you tested it on other locations...?)

I'm trying to SIM unlocking again, using Lockwiz02b, as I downgraded to ROM 1.5.4.2 WWE, but I'm receiving an error msg: "Could not update itsutils.dll to the currente version, is it inuse?"
BTW, as I upgraded to ROM 2.24 in english (the original ROM was spanish) should I understand that my mobile is CID unlocked?

 
(Why did you downgrade, that's not necessary for simunlock?)
For your utills.dll fault: maybe you need lokiwiz0.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...=0&postorder=asc&highlight=lokiwiz0+3&start=0
...with lokiwiz you unlock CID because of brand crossing ROM use, in order to prevent trouble (once CID unlocked it stayes unlocked) For language change it shouldn't be necessary.
For SIM unlocking you also can use i.e. attached file.

Qtek 9100 and upgrade to WM6

I downloaded Viet4 and run upgrade, on welcome screen on PC during upgrade it does not correctly detect my Wizard and shows as ROM 1.0.0 and for new version it says only blanks.
After upgrade device just boots to previous version of the ROM (2.26). What am I doing wrong?

Let me be the first one to say it before someone else does... Read the Wiki
Joking aside, you need to give more info such as do you have a G3 or G4? Did you CID unlocked your device? The error you have given usually meant that your device is CID locked.

sounds like you didn't CID unlock before trying to flash a rom that didn't come from your carrier.
and the upgrade tool will not have the right info in those fields. If your phone is unlocked the upgrade will work properly. Make sure you use the correct procedure based on whether you have a G3 or G4 phone.

I have G3 device
I have Qtek 9100 which was never locked of course. Then I installed ROM and radio upgrade with versions below
ROM version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
ROM date: 6/7/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
Hardware:
CPU:OMAP850
Flash chip type:M-Systems
What do I do now?

What is your IPL/SPL. And how do you know it was never locked? Have you personally unlocked it? Have you ever flashed any rom that was not from your carrier successfully?
If you have a G3 (ipl/spl 2.26/2.26) then I suggest following the full unlocking tutorial thread that is stickied. Trust me your phone is acting like a locked phone. If you haven't personally unlocked it then just humor us and do this. You will be amazed at the results.
If you have a G4 (ipl/spl 2.26.0001/2.26.0001) then you will have to use the pay website to unlock your phone. There is no other known way to unlock G4 devices at this time.

I assume since it was bought in Russia and branded as Qtek 9100 then it was not locked. Is it possible that ROM upgrade to Cingular ROM actually locked my phone?
SPL 2.26/2.26
I going through downgrade right now and then do CID unlock. Do I have to do SIM unlock as well? How do I know if device is unlocked?

SIM unlock will allow you to use any sim from any carrier without getting an invalid sim error. If you aren't getting this error already you should be ok not doing it but it doesn't hurt to do it since you are in there with Lokiwiz already.
The tutorial tells you to do the SIM unlock first then do the CID unlock.
once you are completely done don't forget to flash up to a 2.x rom (2.26 T-Mobile rom suggested) before flashing a custom rom.
At this point when you flash the custom rom your OS and possibly GSM will change (IPL/SPL may change if you use a rom that includes them)
You should be good to go once the CID unlock process is done completely.

I used Unlock and CID Unlock, both went fine. Now IPL 1.01 SPL 2.26 OS 1.5.4.2.
Do I need to upgrade to 2.X before upgrading to WM6 or I can run upgrade the way it is now? Do I need to upgrade IPL (whatever it is to 2.26 as it was before?)
THanks,

Right now you need to install the button rom again to get both IPL and SPL to 1.05. At that point you can flash back up to 2.26 and then to a custom rom of your choice.
The reflash of the button 1.05 rom is to ensure that you are truly unlocked. you will see that both IPL and SPL go to 1.05 -- this is good
The flash to a carrier 2.x rom is so that you have a good 2.x bootloader and don't inadvertantly flash a 2.x rom without bootloaders into 1.x bootloaders which will cause all kinds of issues.
Yes, you must flash a full 2.x rom before flashing the wm6 rom. The T-Mobile 2.26 is the recommended rom as it has the latest bootloaders available.
Then you go to the rom of your choice and enjoy
I know it's a pain in the behind but it is tried and true

Thanks,
This worked. The only issue now after I installed WM6 it starts installing some T-Mobile crap which appears belongs to 2.26 ROM I installed before. How can I clean install of WM6 without any T-Mobile stuff?
Thanks,

Might have to flash a rom that has an empty extended rom before going to the one you went to. My guess is that the rom you flashed did not include an extended rom and when you flashed it the customizations ran from the previous roms extended rom since it was still there.
Faria's 3.3 v2 has a settings chooser menu so you can select settings for whichever network you are on but that only sets up MMS/GPRS stuff, and doesn't install any carrier specific apps.

Never mind, I recovered using some old iMate ROM. The problem now is that iMate ROM updated SPL/IPL to 2.16 while I had 2.26 for both before. Is it ok to run with 2.16 or there might be some issues? What is SPL/SPL are used for?

2.16 should be fine. It is 2.xx and that is what really matters.
The issue that some people encounter is flashing an AKU2 or higher ROM into 1.xx bootloaders and have all sorts of issues, phone won't charge, radio doesn't show up, pda works but phone doesn't, battery drains quickly and no way to recharge, etc.

a question about radios

is there anyway to "shelltools" flash my radio rom? I've been missing a lot of calls lately and it really is becoming inconvenient. I havent unlocked my phone, but i am running wm6 using shelltools (mfrazzz's stuff) and i was wondering do i even need to have my phone unlocked to flash my radio? i dont want to lose my warranty so thats why this matters to me. Any ideas guys?

You may get the official (in your case, T-Mobile, I guess) ROM to flash your phone with the full set of WM5 ROM (e.g. IPL, SPL, OS and Radio). As you are using the official ROM, you do not have to CID-unlock your phone prior flashing this official ROM. After that, you may then use shelltool to update/upgrade/flash the WM6 in, while the radio is untouched (e.g. still using the one you've flashed with the official ROM).

i thin i have done what you said already. Before i flashed mfrazzz's wm6 rom i flashed the latest tmobile rom, then i proceeded to flash the wm6 rom. I didnt use shelltools to flash the official tmobile rom obviosuly, but i did use shelltools to flash mrazzz's wm6 rom.
these are my things from what i'm using now:
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gsm 02.25.11
os 2.18.0.0

Flash the t-mobile uk radio rom 2.19.11.. that'll work for u.

ur OS is wrong if ur running wm6...

2.18 is Crossbow Reloaded... or Faria's..

I have flashed my RADIO ONLY several times with no consequences for my CID LOCKED G4 Wizard, here´s the link for the RADIO ONLY
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Thread/T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radio_Only.zip

You have flashed RADIO only on you G4? HOW? I am having the following problem:
I had to flash a T-Mobile German ROM to use the shelltool for the latest WM6 ROM, it worked but unforunately I have got Radio 2.69 and IPL 3.08.XXX1. (from the latest official MDA Vario ROM flash before)
After the Hardreset everything went fine - I've got WM6, but after i had changed the Clock settings and restarted my device i simply have NO SIGNAL anymore. I am currently in australia maybe thats the reason???
I tried to install the offical T-Mobile AKU 2.0, but the RUU shows me error 296 as I have installed a later ROM AKU3.3 bevor my WM6 flash.
Which tools have y used? And how is the procedure?
Cheers!!!

No, we can´t flash a ROM with bootloader other than the one you have if you have a G4 CID locked device. Unless you use a RUU with no ID (see next paragraph) and the nb.nkf file lacks of IPL/SPL, such is the case of the Wizard Love which I use before to flash any other ROM with the Shell Tool.
Read post #2 of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310954
Read carefully where talks about Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4, same procedure for splash screen applies to RADIO. This doesn´t work for OS, for OS you have to use Shell Tool.
Good luck!

Is this the right order to Flash?

Hi there,
I'm planing to get a german vodafone vpa compact GPS with wm5, so I'm forced to do some updates. After reading several threads in the forum I think this should be the right order to flash the Trinity without bricking it:
->Flash Hard-SPL 1.20 by Olipro (1.30 makes problems with radio updates I guess)
->CID/Sim unlocker by pof
->Radio Update 1.38.00.11 (seems to be the best compromise between connectivity and battery life compared to newer ones)
->Flash Hard-SPL 1.30 by Olipro
->WM 6.x ROM
Are there some steps not necessary? I recently flashed a HTC Hermes and there was a Hard-SPL within the CID/Sim unlocker. I could not find a hint that the unlocker for the Trinity has the same, so I guess I must flash it sepperatly.
Thanks for any help.

Radio problem

Hi can somebody tell me a radio rom which is for german cards like a vodafone card. I had the problem that i can not turn the phone on by every rom that i flashed. I had use the 1.17.25.26W and the 1.09.25.14 but both does not work

Have you installed the correct rilphone.dll? Is it Simlocked?

rilphnone.dll? what is this an where can i find it? It isn't simlocked

There is a radio thread why not use it???

are you using a WM 6.5 ROM? and, did you flash HardSPL (1.56 OliNex) to your device before flashing? not being able to turn the phone on with "every ROM you flashed" suggests that you have the wrong SPL (e.g., have not used HardSPL or USPL to prep your device before flashing).

I had used Hardslp 1.56 before flashing

I'm assuming from above post that HSPL 1.56 was successfully flashed then? Did you check SPL?
You can find rilphone for each radio in radio thread (which is where you should have posted your query!)
Please post further queries in that thread
