I have been an idiot. In my haste to update my K-JAM to AKU2 with the new Qtek ROM I did not check which device was connected - I accidentally installed it onto my JAMin.
Now I am in a pickle, as I cannot put the iMate ROM back on. Hangs at 95% of install.
What can I do (apart from pray)?
Okay now
I retried the iMate ROM a few times (including ending half way through) and all seems to be fine now. Phew!
For the record, the Qtek Wizard ROM does not work on the Prophet!!!
This sounds like something I would do. 8)

Major problem with O2 upgrade. Can anyone help with recovering my O2 XDA.
I downloaded the OS and Radio Stack files from the O2 website (And read the instructions first)
Radio_Unit_Upgrade_v31703.exe
Radio_Stack_Upgrade_v421.zip
The Radio_Unit_Upgrade_v31703 went like a dream, no prob what so ever.
Once i had completed that, reset up the active sync connection i decided on the Radio Stack update - !! Disaster !!
After the reboot all i get on the screen are lines jumping about.
No number of soft or cold boots will bring it back to life.
The device is still recognised by active sync.
I have tried rerunning the Radio_Unit_Upgrade_v31703. This seems to work without hitch from the PC end. Only that the required cold boot of the XDA returns the same jumpy liney screen.
I did take an SD backup of the system before any changes were made.
Can some kind soul please help me dig myself and my only recently aquired XDA toy back out from this hole.
The model is an PW10A1
Did the radio stack upgrade complete? What happens when you try to flash the radio stack 4.21 again? Have you removed the sim card? Corrupt radio stacks are often a non reversable problem, if the xda is under warranty you might get a replacement from O2, after all it was their program that knackered the device.
Try this: Remove sim, Fully charge battery, soft reset, connect to activesync, run upgrade for radio stack again, follow instructions from there.
Okay, newbie upgrader here.
I've read a bunch in these forums, and it's been very helpful.
I upgraded my personal PPCPE (TMO) using their software, and it works great.
I was round my friend's house last night, and he has a PPCPE (AT&T).
Well, we downloaded the v30.09 firmware from Siemens website.
We backed up all the data.
We intalled the firmware.
At the end of the firmeware update, it said to turn the device off by using the hard reset button (that you have to unsccrew the stylus for.) and leave it off for a minute.
We did this.
It then said to turn it back on using the same reset button.
We did this.
However, we get the "Designed for Windows Mobile" logo, and the AT&T logo.
We get ROM versions:
G1.3.3
RA.33.02
A.30.09
After that nothing.
Having hastily given him my phone, I came home with his broken phone.
Well, having done a LOT of reading on this site, I got to use Jeff's tools to create a bootimage on an SD card, and I have been able to get the image flashed and loaded.
They device now boots.
However, I want to get the AT&T software on there as this is what's gonna make my buddy the most happy.
The image I have on there right now is SERv12.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me the best way to get this back to AT&T software running WM2003.
Thanks.
Okay, more info.
I have been successfully upgrading the ROM using the SD flash method.
I have been using Jeff's XDAtools to create the images.
I have been downloading ROM's from yorc and xdaweblink.
I have always tried versions without any software added to the ROM.
I have tried every version of 30.09 that I could get my hands on, even the one in the "SX56 upgrade utility" folder that the Siemens site created.
None have worked.
I have tried 4.00.05 ENG from yorc - didn't work (cool southpark screen though.)
I have tried 4.01.16 ENG from weblink - didn't work (Tmo verison)
I have tried 4.01.00 ENG beta from weblink - didn't work (Tmo beta version.)
I have tried A.30.07 ENG beta from weblink - didn't work (AT&T NFR version.)
I have tried 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro from yorc -
When I say that the version don't work; here's what I mean.
I get the logo screen.
I get the three ROM versions in the bottom right.
The system then locks up and does not progress any further.
I have left the system on overnight with no difference.
The backlight comes on, but nothing else works.
I have tried the upgrades with and without a SIM card in place.
The phone was originally locked, but has subsequently been unlocked.
I have finally tried going back to A.20.17 from yorc - the original AT&T WM2002 version.
This version at least runs.
I still have the new radio stack running, but I am back to WM2002.
Does anyone have ANY idea how I might get this upgraded to WM2003.
My buddy want to run the MS Voice Command.
Also, with the updated Radio Stack, will he be able to connect continiously to the GPRS connection (sorry, I don't know too much about AT&T.) He really want the always-on internet.
Thanks for ANY advice given.

This happened to me using a mmc memory card to do the upgrade, it looked like it was doing everything ok, completed and gave the ok but on cold boot just hung, try another sd card, it just MIGHT work.
I'll look around for anohter SD card and see if that helps.
FYI, I've tried running the upgrade from the cradle/USB a couple of times, but that made no difference.
Also, since I was able to go back to WM2002 with the SD card, I can't see it being bad.
But thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go.

I have one o the first T-Mobile wallaby, p/n 99HL0000-00
It originally (2003) came with 3.14.40, R6.18
Now I have R6.25.02
it boots with 3.17.07
I want to make it WM2003.
It does not boot 4.01.16, T-Mobile official upgrade, 4.00.33
(yes, I spent lot of time in the ROM Kitchen lately...)
Is there a WM2003 that this hardware will boot, or have I missed something paramount in the upgrade process? (using XDA OS, bootloader, and SD cards)
Thanks or any advice!
More Info
ok,
When switched on, it is supposed to pling ihin 20 seconds. All display updates (ROM versions) take place, but the pling and start of screen lignment never happens. Screen stays on until out of battery.
I had this problem when using an mmc card, when I used an sd card it worked fine, I have no idea why.
Well this is the first time I've been unlucky for once. I've just finished cooking up some Rom for my ATT Siemens SX56. I was using the WM2003SE upgrading from PPC2002. I have a feeling that I did something wrong here and I'm guessing that I can't upgrade from PPC2002 and only WM2003? Well I'm not quite sure since I'm new to this. I successfully always upgraded the rom until now. After powering up, it started hanging at the startup logo with the version of the radio stack I think.
G1.3.3
UA.33
3.04
I've tried using ActiveSync and of course it didn't work. The cradle or A.S. did not recognize the device. Tried using XDATool, none. Is there anyway I could go around the ActiveSync?
Use sd card method for flashing.
tried that and it didn't work. I tried almost any methods out there. I tired upgrading from the original ATT Rom PPC2002 to the Special Edition 1.2 Rom and it still didnt work. What's odd is... I can't get my WM2003 to work anymore! When I first started upgrading the rom, I upgraded using SE 1.2, then downgrade to the original ATT rom back to the WM2003 which actually worked fine until I got piss at the radio stack and downgrade back to the PPC2002 but once I tried upgrading to WM2003SE, it didnt work at all which brought me to downgrade back to PPC2002 again and tried upgrading to WM2003 (ATT Version) which still didn't worked. I've tried upgrading the radio stack 6.24 and 6.25 and radio stack that would be compatible for the SX56 still didnt work. Even downgrading my bootloader from 5.22 to 5.15, it still didn't work. It's really odd... Can ANYONE help me?
I have similar problem, I have Qtek 1010 and I can put original rom on only (2002). I have had 2003 on there before and it worked fine but I have tried everything and nothing seems to work, all the 2003 and 2003se rom will not go past the boot screen.
Is your phone working at all.
My phone is perfectly fine, I'm just trying anyway to resolve that booting problem and so far, I'm getting no good results out of it... This is totally driving me nuts!
I tried neally every rom and I can't get any to work on my Qtek except the original 2002 Carrier device Rom...... I don't understand why we could both upgrade before with no worries and now it just will not work....
PLEASE HELP SOMEONE.....
THANKS
Well, so far I tried another rom, an older one and I still didn't get it to work... SD Flashing... The normal method with ActiveSys, it still didn't work. There has to be a reason to why this isn't working. Does ANYONE out there know whats going on here?!
So i tried to update my 8125 to WM6 using one of SNN's roms. And when i tried it, it said that it updated but then when the phone restarted it was still WM5. Oh and when i start up the phone it says its WM6 but when i checked in the settings it says its still WM5. Does anyone know what the problem is?
