Hello, i have a small problem, i have a SVP M1000 for personal use, and a Qtek pocket pc issued by work, now im not really sure what the Qtek is at the moment its the same looking as the m1000 but different buttons slightly and a less shiney finish to it. the main problem is, that the MOD base im contracted at had the cameras disabled on them, due to regulations, i need the camera back on it to make life a hell of alot easier is there any way of installing the camera software back onto the device? i would change the rom, but i cant loose anything on the device because it all sync's through gprs, and hasalot of pre installed software by the firm i work for. if anybody here has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated,
ps. Himalaya is working great thanks to many pages read on here, and ovcourse the roms!
PPS. details on the Qtek
Rom version: 1.72.00WWE
Rom date : 03/15/04
Radio version: 1.14.00
Protocol version: 1337.24
extROM version: 1.72.189
The camera software resides in the extended rom, maybe it is present on yours but written out of the boot sequence. Look in your extended rom and see if it is there, if not I am sure somebody could upload it. I have an M1000 but it now has O2 rom and I am not sure that would work with your phone as I have never tried it.
A word of warning, it could mean unemployment for you and a possible lengthy interview with MOD police.

thanks for your reply! if i was to put a different extended rom on, would i lose any imformation at all?? i take it this qtek is an andes :?: ive already spoken to the mod plod and they cant see any problems with it, its just the site managers a bit of a **** :shock: the problem at the time was the new euro fighter was performing testing at the base and no leaked pictures could get out, so there should be no problem with it now, if someone could upload the extrom for me to flash the qtek with that would be great, and a little more info on the precedure! if theres anything worth uploading from the qtek please let me know, i would be more than happy to upload anything.
Again thanks for the help.
can anybody help me here?
I have a blank next to my EXT ROM - -but the camera still seems to work !?
If you put in a different extended rom you will lose any proprietary cabs/programs that your employers may have installed to the extended rom in your phone. I would assume that even in the case of a hard reset your phone will install the programs that your employers wish to be available and the others will have been removed or written out of the boot sequence. Look for roms and extended roms here.

Hello i just upgraded my QTEK from ROM Version 3.14.06 ENG to ROM Version 3.16.13 ENG and from Radio Version T313 to Radio Version 3.19.01. Everything worked fine and the ROM and the RSU were upgraded with success but idnt find any deffrence the device is still the same as for the GPRS i was hopping that when the device goes to standby it wont disconnect. Any idea what are the changes in the new ROM i have installed and the bugs that were fixed. If there is new ROM updates then the one i got from qtek.dk where are theyand will they work on my QTEK 1010 32MB.
Thanks
<flames>

</flames>
)
use 3.15.15 + 4.16
Where can i get them from?
Thanks for your reply, but where can i find those updates and will they work after the current upgrade that i made. Finally will they work on the Qtek 1010.
Thanks
as I said... 3.16.43 is unofficial and I can't share it... 3.15.15 is out there somewhere (use the Search function )
Couldnt find it!
Hi again i can find the new ROM versions that you instructed me to use instead of the ones i download it. Can you provide me with a direct URL to download the 3.15.15 + 4.16 ROM and will they replace the 3.16.13 Version.
Please advise
Thanks

Interesting. Can you tell me which site you been to that you manage
to upgrade your qtek before?
Sure ,
a while ago you could have found it on www.qtek.dk but for an unkown reason they have removed its link from the main page now you can find here:

be careful how you give information
Hi,
Please be very careful how you give out information.
You have screwed up I believe many people who got
their device frozen and cannot be used after trying to
upgrade the ROM and Radio Stack from the website
you provide without warning people of the serious
damage it could cause if the Rom & Radio Stack
upgrade is not from the same source.
It is good that you are trying to help people but I hope
you could continue doing it BUT please give a complete
and proper advise. Hope you get my message.

One of the victim
I expect people who buy this device to have a certain amount of IQ. Everybody knows flashing them IS dangerous, so they should know as much as possible on the item.
Before I flashed the device for the first time, I've already read EVERYTHING which is in the ROM Upgrade forum and everything which mentions ROM on this site. I knew which is the best, I knew where to get it, I knew I can screw it up and I knew how to NOT screw it.
It's peoples fault if they brick their units.
i dont know where to start with this but i should agree with Zviratko 100%
we expect people who buy this devices to have a certain amount of IQ and knowledge most of us here are pros.
Please understand that if you dont know what you are dealing with dont bother doing it. Read all the forums and pages of Xda-developers they contain the biggest archives about those products, learn then apply.
Zviratko is one of these important resources learn from him i know i did!

Re qtek 1010 rom update
could you please tell me where you got your rom update from. I have been tearing my hair off trying to get the right update. Some genius upgraded using the O2 upgrade and killed his QTEK.
Hi guys.
Can any one help me on my decision on upgrading my Qtek 1010 to the special Edition ROM 1.2 found in this site? I just want to know if it will not destroy my Phone. Here are the details:
ROM VER: 3.14.06 ENG
ROM DATE: 10/01/02
RADIO VER: T313
PROTOCOL VER: 32S54
NETWORK LOCK : GLOBE TELECOM
Thank you. More power.
SER 1.2 is perfect for unlocking, but if your device is already unlocked why don't you go to a WM2003 ROM ?
Hi j2villar
The ROM upgrade in the kitchen will not dammage the phone part of your Qtech 1010, but it my prevent your Qtech to start if the upgrade process goes wrong.
I have 3 points to your questions as I was having this kind of principle questions 4-6 weeks ago.
1. This forum states all over the place that there are risks associated with upgrade, as with any PC's in the old days! This is especially the case with RUU update more than the PDA side of it.
My personal finding are: Mistakes come from people who did not read enough on this forum :roll: , people who did not apply the basic principles of backing up there original RUU and ROM prior to running the upgrade :evil: .
My recommendation is play as much as you want with your ROM, Do not touch the RUU unless you feel you really need it.
2. Although XDATOOLS allows you to make upgrade without going through the SD CARD and BOOT LOADER, I recommend you to make the investment of an extra SD card (one for the backup, one for loading the new rom) + a USB read+write device.
This is a recommendation that you will find all around the place in this forum.
Try searching with: SD CARDS or BOOTLOADER
3. Same as Biso007, why go the Special Rom Edition which is quite limited compared to the flexibility of a own made kitchen ROM. (If the difference is not all crystal clear to you, it is very surely an indicator that you have not yet build up sufficient knowledge about this general topics to clear you from any possible problem when upgrading.
The Kitchen I use to cook my ROMs is the one of LumpyStephan (which is going to be updated soon I think) try: http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ :twisted:
Now should you want to increase your global understanding, I have personally found the web site associated to this forum it has a lot of FAQ and well described process http://wiki.xda-developers.com
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERT ADVICE I JUST TAKE HOLD OF THIS PDA PHONE LAST MONTH AND I HAVE READ WIKI'S SITE.
THANKS FOR SPENDING TIME TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. MORE POWER

xdaIIi best rom
Helo Pug,
I am not an expert in this area. I have currently the french rom which I find not very stable... I am planning to switch to this new rom 1.11.162 1.04. I obviously dont need the O2 stuff. There is apparently a patch to correct the crappy camera.
So when I look into the folder your are mentionning which rom should I download?
Some of them are modified, updated, cooked, baked...
Also, after the upgrade, should I configurate anything related to the telephone/country operator?
I am a bit lost, could you please help?
Many thanks

Ok, now why isn't this a sticky?
Oh, great. Thank pug for soon respond. I've just try the last and feel good.
Hi @Pug!
Is it totally remove O2 Active UI in my PPC? If like that, I will trying now. Thanks
Phuong: don't what you want. If you browse Pug's directory, you must find that there are two version:
+ one is keepping as much as original from O2 (of course, adding radio and bluetooth profile)
+ one with extended rom (pug call it stripped).
If you don't want O2 Active UI and insist on using original rom, you can choose Corporation and code is 0506. You must know that Pug have posted 2 plugins of O2 (battery and time) for today screen.
Have fun.
Backup and restore
Just a quick question...
If you perform a backup using ActiveSync then do an upgrade with one of Pugs Roms, having completed the upgrade is it possible to apply the restore from ActiveSync to reinstate all the setting/contacts etc you previously had?
Tom
yup yup! better using Sprite Backup....
Backups
OK
So I avoid ActiveSync and use Sprite, hate to be a pain an' all, anyone got link to hand for Sprite?
You may well be able to solve another issue for me here...
Am I right in guessing that if you are changing between ROMS for a similar OS on the same device that backups are OK, but if you are changing ROMS for a different OS the device basically becomes a so different backups are no use?
Tom
Query on Device Info
Evening folks
Just completed the update to Pugs 162 ROM, third from the list at the top.
I used Sprite to backup before I started, update went without issue, then used Sprite to restore afterwards.
The only thing that puzzled me was when I checked the Device Information screen I see:
ROM Version 1.11.00 WWE
Radio Verson 1.04.00
ExtROM Version 1.11.112 WWE
Is this correct, kind of expected to see162 in there somewhere, has the restore from Sprite sent me partially back again?
Tom
hi,
If you wish to change the version number yourself, use a registry editor and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3RDVERSION and change the MSYSTEM value to whatever you like.
thanks

OK, so I take it from your reply that the revisions are correct for a successful update? I don't care if it is simply displaying the wrong number.
Being the first time I had upgraded and restored data afterwards I was worried in case the restore had possibly returned any thing to the my original ROM state.
Tom
Restoring files after a RoM upgrade is a waste of time as all you do is replace new files with old, you're better off just copying files you want to keep to your SD card and backing up your contacts.

Ah the Man himself!
Thanks for your work chap.
OK, so if I do quick hard reset, that'll return me to your ROM as installed then I can just install the stuff I require, do a swift sync of contacts etc from Outlook and I'll be cooking on gas?
One small thing I discovered on the way to work this morning, the phone works fine on the handset, but although it dials and appeas 'in call' through the BT headset, I can't hear anything nor can the other party hear me. I did notice some....data noise (ahh the days of listening to modems).... when the BT headset opens a communication.
Tom
Tom,
What version of ROM are yu currently using, as found to my horror that the .169 version sucks with connection to Bluetooth devices, even the ones O2 recommend....
Have found the only stable version for bluetooth connectivity is .162... , albeit a step backwards....
God bless o2....

God something O2 certainly!
I'm using Pugs 162 from the top of this thread (the 3rd one without the O2 junk in it, but with the Bluetooth and Camera changes)
Seems to be working fine so far.
I meant to post a follow up regarding my Bluetooth problem, I think I might have failed to read the screen properly and chosen the High Quality rather than headset otpion.

Hey everyone...I'm a total newbie when it comes to PPC phones...so please bare with me..
anyways..I recently bought an O2 Mini S...and I seem to be having some small problems with it..
when you press the "send" button, it should bring you automatically to the phone keypad...however this doenst seem to work all the time (or much at all...) I have to soft reset the machine to actually get it to start working...and then after 10 minutes or so...it doenst work again until i reset again...NONE of the "phone" functions work either when this happens...i cant go to the call history or get to any of those functions...even if I pull up the "programs" screen...and click on the "phone" icon, it still doesnt work...I have no idea how to fix it..
One solution i figured MIGHT work is to reflash the unit...cuz maybe its a software glitch...however I have absolutely NO clue how to reflash this unit...I've been reading around the site for the past 4 hours trying to learn some of this stuff...but as I am retarded when it comes to computers, I am quite confused...
and what would be the best ROM to upgrade/reflash it with??
Also, I find the machine to be extremely laggy...I dont know if its just mine...and if its the some other software problems..but its very laggy..
And a third thing...I dont know aout other branded HTC Wizards...but for the O2 Mini S, I have this Icon menu going down the left side of the screen...does anyone know how to get rid of it?
If anyone can PLEASE give me a hand...I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance...
It sounds like theres summat wrong with the ROM, also i think you might be running an old ROM too.
I'd suggest downloading the new ROM from www.my-xda.com and flash it with that, it works great on mine.
If your not running an older ROM then do a hard-reset and re-install, but reset before the O2 custom install stuff gets the chance to install.
P.S. hard reset by pressing the Voice record button + Comms manager button then tap the reset, but keep hold of the other 2 buttons untill you see the message on screen.
Hey thanks for the quick reply..
Just checked teh ROM version...some oldschool stuff compared to what you have listed
ROM Version 1.5.4.2 WWE
ROM date: 11-8-05
Radio version: 01.09.10
Protocol Version: 4.0.13.20
ExtROM Version: 1.5.4.102
I'm guessing this is a lot older than the new stuff...
Anywyas..I tried to dowlonad the newest software updates off the O2 site but its not allowing me cuz i cant provide a proper phone number...ive tried guessing some phone numbers but no dice...any help there?
Also, would it be necessary to reflash the entire device to get rid of possible bugs in the OS? or would a simple software upgrade such as downloading off teh O2 site work?
Danny, how do you find the O2 software? have you tried other ROM's such as those for the Qtek 9100 or Imate K-jam??
Any help on downloading the appropriate files and maybe a link or details about how to actually update the machine would be great.
Thanks in advance again
Oh btw...what do you mean by "
but reset before the O2 custom install stuff gets the chance to install. "?
FIGURED IT OUT!!
shweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!
LOVE YOU DANNY B!!
lol
jk
but yeah...i got a UK number from my buddy whos from the UK...downloaded the stuff..updated it...and the thing works flawlessly now...oh man...and it seems to be running a lot faster...much less lag...
lifesaver!!!
Hi,
Here's my own modification. I did id for my own purpose, and decided to share it with you.
As a Base, I choosed 1.11.171 version of O2 ROM.
I stripped it from o2 stuff, left only necessary files. I added extra bluetooth profiles and left bluetooth and camera patch from new version (pug's version doesn't have it, despite what he says in his posts on this forum)
I also added Radio 1.04 from Pug's release.

hmm. it's working again.. i think that hey had some minor technical issues. should be ok.
Is there improved radio strength, stability? What does .171 improve?
yes
radio was taken from pug's release (162).. which is good, because it's more stable than official 1.0
apart from this, there's patched bluetooth driver, that was officialy released by o2. _THE SAME_ that previously was circulating around this forum.
i merged it with extra profiles taken from previous releases, because some people experienced a tiny set of options with this upgrade.
camera fix was also merged from the new, official 171 release. dunno what it does, because i'm not using this function
overall, the stability is the same because main rom version is the same. it doesn't change anything in windows core. changes were made only to the extended rom. that's it.
i have many applications (including startup ones, like: spb pocketplus, resco explorer, skype, agile messenger, etc.)
i'm using my rom for a week and I, personally, didn't experienced ANY hangs or resets. it's working like a charm.

My Alpine is dead
Yesterday I tried to update my alpine to this new Rom, but dissaster happened.
Maupgrade recognized my device and my version, and I told the program to begin with the update.
After more than 3 hours the scrren was blank with usb v1.01.
I took the pda and trie to hard reset it but it has been imposible.
Now the screen only says serial v1.01 or usb v1.01
If i try to re-run the maupgrade it only says that is checking the information of my device and stays like that for hours.
what can I do to have my PDA back?????

Dude, this happens sometimes. Take it out of cradle and then take the battery out. Re-insert the battery again and put it in the cradle and then re-run the maupgrade.
I have solved the problem!!!
I have tried doing it on a windows xp based computer and everything worked fine.
Has anybody had the same problem with windows vista???
Does any body know how can I find an spanish rom???

vista isn't good for flashing any htc device
