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 ?
Ok I’m a total noob and ‘ve have already unlock my T-Mobile MDA so I can use it as a Cingular cell phone . about I know I got a G3 since my
IPL is 2.xx
Spl is 2.xx
Gsm 2.35.11
os 2.26.10.
Now my Question is what’s next? What’s that rom I’ve been reading about? howe do i know what version i have ? What is the os 2.26.10? What version should I be using? how do I REMOVE THE T-Mobile logo an stuff? I know it’s a lot of question but I figured that every one can jump in and give me some knowledge than you very much .for reading this.
ROM = firmware = Windows mobile
OS 2.26.10.2 = newest oficial firmware
Radio 2.35.11 - I think it does not exist
IPL/SPL = bootloader (it depend on the end of that number) if you have G4 (IPL/SPL ends 0001), than you can`t unlock and write unoficial (better then oficial) ROM
T-Mobile logo is easy to rewrite by any unoficial ROM or by your cooked splash screen
for simplicity...think of a ROM as the operating system and the extended ROM as the bundled software your computer comes with...
you can flash your phone with any wizard ROM you'd like...and as a noob you may not know that most ROM's are cooked without network customizations so you'll need (in your case cingular) the cingular customizations cab file (do a search)
like johnny said...most custom ROM's have all the tmobile/cingular/etc bull**** removed so you won't have to worry about it
the os 2.26.10.x is the version number of a ROM (newest official as of right now)
know this...you will void your warrenty when you unlock your phone further which you'll have to do...so first go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and then find a ROM you like...
THX a couple more questions
Ok 1st I need to say THX to both Johnny & j3d1n4s7y For your reply I got a couple more questions if my SPl is 2.26 so I need to down grade to bring it back to 1.xx right?
What is
Rom 2.26.10.2 WWE & Radio 02.47.11 what are their purpose?
thank you in advance
Be Careful...
-tiouko-
I notice that you want to upgrade/downgrade ROMs. Be aware that there are two types of devices, G3 & G4 and you should be aware of what type of phone it is. If when you boot your phone & the IPL & SPL read 2.xx then you have a G3 phone if it reads 2.xx.001 or something like that then you have a G4. Be aware that if you use the wrong type of ROM to flash you will brick your phone - read; read; read; before you start flashing your ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 by Doc P is a great read if you have a G3
Good Luck!!
And Btw, I believe ROM stands for "Read Only Memory" which is where you write the OS and then the applications only read from this place. It is pretty much similar to the ROM on your PC.

... and WWE = "World Wide English", the language of the ROM. FRE might be for French for example. The World Wide part means that the version is applicable accross all English Locales, as opposed to having localised English versions for Australia, the US, and the UK for example.
Yeah man thanks for the warnings I believe that my is a g3 because is 2.26 and my spl is 2.26 with out the extension. I'm currently doing my readings carefully before i do anythings major.
This is a wonderful thread.
I am a newbie and I am facing lots of problem with my ROM.
I am using Dopod838 and my phone warrenty is void.
I am thinking to upgrade the ROM since my original rom does not support A2DP.
Since my phone is unlock, whereby I can use any provider sim card and use it in my phone, do I still need to unlock my rom?
I got one las question i confirmed that my wizard is a g3 according to the ultimate guide I should downgrade if i want to run home brew rom which is what i wanr to do . I've already downloaded the button rom 1.o5 along with lockwiz o.2b my question is do I cid unlock first or do I downgrade with button 1.o5 than cidunlock second I could of swear I was suppose to cid unlock first.Please help.

5th Sticky has the information you need, its title is:
SOLUTION FOUND -CID/sim UNLOCKING FOR WIZARD WITH AKU2 ROMS.
Gives you a step by step process. Basically you can't CID unlock until you downgrade to the button rom. By your post it looks like you have the tools you need. This thread will give you the instructions on how to use them and when.
Thx Buddy exactly what I wanted to know I'm going to get started I'll let you know how I did.

Yes I m .. hehe! I hv lots to read.. I still got to read through all the sticky note so that I can load a new ROM to my dopod 838.
I'll probe u when I bump into problem.. hehe!
Some of the best ROMs are introduced (and downloadable) via this forum. So you can check out yourself what they include and if it fits your needs.
The latest ROMs are based on AKU 3.2/3.5, but they are still in development and can be a bit buggy.
Personally I am very satisfied using the Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom (based on AKU2.3).

Qood question I'm not sure being that I', noob but i would assume that it's not cid unlock since you have to go the extra mile to get it cid unlock . can you tell me if you are seeing network logo ie singular or t mobile on the screen is yes it's possible that' it's not cid unlock. but keek asking hopefully some one would have the right answer for you. good luck

If in doubt just CID unlock again. It doesn't hurt anything and that way you can be sure that you are unlocked.

I'm thinking of upgrading from the official T-Mobile UK 2.21.2.6 WWE ROM I have installed to another network provider ROM to see if that fixes the problem.
But will updating from my current ROM to, say, an O2 UK official ROM work the same way as a simple ROM update, or will it brick the phone?
Does it need to be CID unlocked? I've ran what I think was the latest LokiWiz to unlock the SIM, but did this SID unlock the phone as well? How do I tell?
How do I know whether my phone's an AKU2 or AKU3?
And what's the best (i.e., most reliable) official ROM? Would upgrading to WM6 help anything?
Sorry if I'm going over ground covered a lot elsewhere, but the sheer amount of FAQs on CID/SIM/AKU etc., is incredibly overwhelming and confusing.
Thanks in advance for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

You will need LokiWiz 02b to CID unlock your device (if it is a G3)

There is probably an easier method however if you run the program "Registry Wizard" it normally tells you on start up

ROMS are all preference really.. at the moment im using T-mobile 2.26 US which i have found to be the best ROM (with applications / themes obviously) as T-mobile UK Rom is over a year old and is crap.
i have upgraded to WM6 3 times? and all 3 times i had problems, i am currently waiting for most of the bugs to be sorted..
keep us posted
There is already a thread on this, but I'm starting a new one as I feel the old one has deviated from its purpose of finding a workaround for the P3600i
For those of you who have not been following...
The current SSPL, Hard-SPL, Super CID methods used to bypass Trinity
(P3600) SPL do not work on the new HTC P3600i.
Here's the reason why:
pof said:
The P3600i has 256MB NAND in oposite of the 128 Mb NAND of the regular P3600.
To flash this device you need bootloader 3.x or higher, and OS rom must be tagged 0x401 in the NBH (not 0x400, which is used for 128Mb NAND), also you should use a new RUU (the on the official WM6 rom should be ok).

It was recommended that Olipro be contacted about this, so I did and this is what he had to say.
[/QUOTE]
What that means is that firstly; you need one of the newer SPL versions; send me one and I'll patch it.
secondly; you need to dump your OS from the NBH and then rebuild it using 401 as the code for it (default is 400)
Obviously you could also crack the NBH open in a hex editor and just change the value, your choice entirely.[/QUOTE]
I'm don't have the technical expertise at present to do the above & am kinda pressed for time to learn so I'm hoping someone will be able to help.
Does anyone have the Newest SPL version extracted that they can post?
Can anyone suggest a hex editor to change value to 401 & explain exactly how this is done. I tried using a random hex editor and was confused by the max of hex before my eyes, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be changing.
Thanks
i'm using htc 3600i too , waiting for success flashing and cooking rom for it.
Surely someone has extracted the SPL-3.03.0000 boot loader.
Please if anyone has it, can you post.
I saw it posted before, but neglected to DL it cause i thought I'd never need it.
I've searched through 40+ pages and have not been able to find. I probably just keep keep missing the page it's on...the search is not the greatest.
I would be forever grateful to the kind soul who would take the time to help a brother out...
After all, "there comes at time, when we all need..."
Here is SPL 3.03.0000 from this official ROM "RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship.exe" (which I believe is the ANZ release).
I managed to upgrade my P3600i from this version which was on the phone when I bough it "RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.17_6275_1.46.00.11_108_Ship.exe" (which I believe is the SEA release).
i'm waiting for this solution..

We need a patched version of the SPL 3.003... Olipro agreed to do so and I've sent him a PM. Still waiting to hear back.
Secondly we need to dump the ROM from the NBH and rebuild it using 401 as the code (the default is 400)
Or you could:
Crack the NBH open in a hex editor and just change the value, your choice entirely.
I'm don't have the technical expertise at present to do the above & am hoping someone will dump the rom then rebuild as mentioned above or post a tutorial on using a hex editior to change the value.

No word yet. Still waiting

Ok. So I'm confused as there are some contradictions. Is it possible for a cht 9110, purchased in Taiwan, to be flashed to an English version using the HTC official website download? Or is that why everybody is waiting for an unlock/flash method?
I can maybe live without any of the real nice rom tweaks that get developed here for at least a little while but I'm not sure how far I can get using the default Traditional Chinese as I'm not a native speaker. The cht 9110 is being offered in Taiwan at a much cheaper price than elsewhere which is one reason I don't want to have one shipped in with the factory English rom already installed. Thanks in advance for any clarification.
p.s. I should probably mention that I have not purchased one yet which is one reason why I can't answer this question myself. Thanks again!
p.p.s. The lady at ChungHwa Telecom said they were sold out all around Taiwan. They'll call me back in two weeks when they get more in from HTC.
I think it is possible to flash the offical englsh rom in the cht9110
as people said they can flash the official ROM into the P3600i
just can't use those cooked roms here

No no, I'm using CHT9110 from Taiwan with Chineas rom. and I try to flash with Official WWE rom, it will give you error of Invalid ID.
Sorry..the corrected error message is " Invalid Vendor ID"
Any news from Olipro?
keen to try out the roms in development here as well.
I have a CHT9110 and I have just failed to upgrade it with Official English ROM downloaded from Dopod's website....need to convert Traditional Chinese Version to WWE version.....
Me too. Can you please share the official WWE Rom, I can't download it. Is this the "Wrong device ID" issue ?
OK guys, I'll sort this all out for you.
Firstly I need a volunteer (capeli perhaps?) your device won't be harmed as part of my testing by the way.
I'll need someone so I can run through soft-loading the SPL and flashing it on etc.
now, unfortunately, my ISP has royally ****ed up my ADSL line, so currently I'm running via my PDA, which is costing me £1 per megabyte, which is rather unpleasant, so please do bear with me guys.
capeli: I'll get the SPL patched shortly for testing, cheers mate.
Waiting Also. I am inAusralia with a new 3600i and would like one of the cookeed ROMs I have been reading about. I will keep close to theis thread for an outcome.
Perhpas I could bother you all with some questions:
Will a new ROM affect what is on my device currently?
Will it affect my 3G settings to my service provider Telstra?
Will it affect third party apps I have instaklled; TomTom, Task Manager, TouchPal?\
Can I go BACK if needed?

I remember seeing links for different version of radio Rom that someone posted after building the cooked rom. For the life of me I searched all over and can not seem to be able to find it. If anyone would be kind enough to link me.....Thanks

Yes, Thank you. i cant believe with all the views and no one replied. What is wrong with the members these days.
Radio Rom Upgrade Details
hey paypalbid
I too downloaded the latest ROM (I believe from the Hermes site). Could you tell me the specific steps on how you went about upgrading just the Radio part. What utility did you use and did your phone need to have Olipro Hard-SPL prior to upgrading the Radio ROM
Thanks
V
To be on the safe side this is what i did
I did use the Olipro unlocker which were on this sticky thread, I did not use his later version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100
Then I use this program to just to make sure the SIM and IPL/SPL were unlocked completely
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347682
After that everything was good to go. Just hook your phone up to active syn and run. When it ask what IPL/SPL you have just pick 1.04 and let the process run on its own.

The links you send me was for Olipros Hard SPL and then something to check if the phone is unlocked
I have an unlocked phone already with an unbranded ROM. My question is to upgrade "Just" the Radio ROM what did you use. Was is it a Kaiser utility or was is it CustomRUU.
Please give me specific steps "Post" your unlock process and ROM upgrade to perhaps a branded or unbranded ROM.
Also to others reading this thread if you have an unlocked and unbranded ROM in your current TREO how to just upgrade the Radio ROM

i used the kaiser one. No radio is "the answer" it is all based on your carrier and where you at. Radio Rom is all about personal trial and error.
