I've had my Qtek 9000 for a week. I've spent most of that week installing software, and getting it setup (using a lot of useful info from this site).
This afternoon it locked up, and wouldn't respond to any button presses (including the on/off button)
Soft resets result in it powering backon, but stopping at the boot screen, after displaying the ROM versions in red text.
Eventually, I tried a hard-reset. Same thing happens - process goes ok until it displays the ROM version, when it just sits there. I've tried removing the SD card and SIM card and hard-resetting. No Joy.
I had just installed OzVGA, and was testing it when this occurred, but that is probably just a coincidence (surely a hardreset should fix anything bad that happened there?)
I hadn't at any point played with the ROM.
What should I try next?
And, does anyone know if I'm going to be able to get support for this in the US from Qtek? (I bought it in the UK), new
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, no such luck
I'd tried that before, but the battery was only out for a short time. This time it was been out for at least 15 minutes.
Does anyone know if there's any kind of hardware or diagnostic test mode it can be booted into?

How about updating/upgrading thr ROM?
This might work. you'll have to reinstall everything again, though

Thanks - I may try that tomorrow. However, I'm a little concerned that updating it with a new ROM might invalidate the warranty (especially if it's not a QTEK ROM)
I was hoping that there was some kind of hidden 'diagnostic mode' I could try first, before taking that step. I've also been looking everywhere on the web, and I can't find anyone else that this has happened to. This makes me think it may be a hardware problem, though the way it just 'happened' seems more like s/ware.
Anyway, I'm out today so this will have to wait until tomorrow. My biggest concern at the moment is how I'm going to get any warranty support in the US. All I have at the moment is a very expensive brick!

Have you tried entering bootloader mode?
BACKLIGHT BUTTON + POWER BUTTON + RESET HOLE
Then the screen will go blank then show the words SERIAL but you have to look real good because the backlight will be off when the serial is displayed. If it does go there, try hard resetting from there:
__ + __ + RESET HOLE
Hope this helps. WHat's your ROM verison/language anyway?

Thanks - but no improvement. I do get the 'serial' screen (with v1.00 displayed at the bottom), but when I do _+_+reset from there, it just goes back to the 'normal' Qtek boot screen and sits there.
Unfortunately, not having access to the OS, I don't know exactly the ROM versions etc. However, the info displayed in red text on the Qtek boot screen (where it hangs) is as follows. How do you interpret this?
R 1.03.00
G 42.36.P8
D 1.13.64 WWE
Thanks for your help - I'm hoping I can get this resolved without having to find out how to get support from Qtek!

You have a WWE (English QTEK ROM) but since you cannot enter bootloader mode, I don't think you will be able to update. You might have to return your device to where you bought it

Jorgee,
I notice (in the HTC 'confidential' manual I just downloaded) that there is a diagnostic program. Apparently, I put it on an SD card, and do Power+Backlight+reset to invoke it.
Do you know if that diagnostic tool is available anywhere on here, or elsewhere on the web?
Also - I wqas trying to find exactly how to enter 'bootloader' mode (after I have the 'serial' screen). Should it boot differently from here when doing a hware reset (_+_+reset)?
Regards
Steve
Actually, when you see SERIAL, that means you are already in bootloader mode. One question, what ROM do you wanna update to? QTEK, IMATE, MDA, O2?
Do the following once you get the SERIAL ON THE SCREEN:
1. Open active SYNC, then choose FILE>CONNECTION SETTINGS, then remove the check on the USB option.
2. Connect the phone to the computer with the sync cable. This should change the SERIAL on the device to say USB.
3. Run the ROM Upgrade (whichever it is you chose).
This shoulod update your device. If you are able to enter bootloader mode (SERIAL) this means that probably your ROM (OS) is damaged. Just update it even to the same verison then it should work.
If you get Country ID error while trying to update or any other error, just inform me, i'll walk you through the process.

Hi Jorgee,
I'd prefer to go for the QTEK Rom (I'm assuming, from the info I posted above that I currently have 1.13.64 WWE). I'd like to go for the same or later version of this, but looking on the ftp site here I can't see ay QTEK ROM upgraders.
I have checked that when I plug in the USB I get 'USB' appearing on the screen, so I'm hoping that a ROM upgrade will at least work, even if it doesn't fix my problem.
One other thing that concerns me. When I plug into USB (with either a PC or the AC charger) the LEDs aren't lighting to indicate it's charging. Obviously, when during the flash upgrade I should make sure I have a reasonably charged battery. However, I don't know if I do (or even if it's currently charging).
-Steve
I guess leave it charged using the AC adapter for an hours, then here's the QTEK ROM.
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal
Under Shipped ROM's you should see the QTEK.
If you cannot find it, tell me, ill send it to you. Trying to avoid this because it is almost 60MB in size

Thanks - I'd already found it on the devbuzz site, and am currently giving the unit an hour or two's charge before trying this. Wish me luck!!
-Steve
OK, here's what happened when I tried to update with the same Qtek firmware:
Initial dialog (that shows old and new (to be installed) firmware versions had blanks for all three firmware versions currently installed.
Started the upgrade, and left it running (couldn't bear the tension of watching!). Came back, and found the following error message displayed:
"Error 113: Extended ROM Update Error"
The update tool indicated that I should 'try again'. I'm currently re-charging the unit, and hoping (against hope) that this error was caused by insufficent battery charge.
-Steve
Okay, but maybe it just didn't update the extended ROM but the OS rom has been updated properly. After this error, try the __ + __ + reset button and see if it does boot fine.

No luck.
I've also tried re-flashing a second time, but this time I watched it to see what happens
As the radio firmware is flashing, a message to that effect is shown on the Qtek screen. Once that is finished, the upgrade tool starts the extended ROM flash. At that time the Qtek's screen goes completely blank. The, after a minute or two, the upgrade tool reports that the extended ROM failed to upgrade.
I am assuming that normally, while flashing the extended ROM, there's a message on the phone's screen to say what's going on?
I'm also wondering whether to have a go at flashing the ROM in one of the other ways?
-Steve
I heard sometimes just flashing the Radio only might work.... Then after that you can flash the rest. Just extract the contents of the ROM to a directory. Take note of the ff:
Radio : radio_.nbf
OS : nk_.nbf
Ext : ms_.nbf
I just rename/move/delete the MS and NK files then run the update

Thanks Jorgee. Still no real success, but I think I might be getting closer.
I've tried the above (using both the original romupdate_ut.exe and MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe - same results with both).
I've tried each of the three files individually (using the ones from the shipped ROM, as downloaded above)
radio_.nbf always seems to flash ok
ms_.nbf always fails right at the start, and nothing appears on the phone's screen
nk.nbf almost worked. It started, and got up to 87% (tried this 3 times), with the update showing on both the phone screen and PC. Then it failed with error 112, leaving the '87% complete' message on the phone's screen.
Soft or hard reboots still result in us just ending up 'hung' at the boot screen.
Once again, thanks for your help so far. However, I am beginning to give up hope!

I wish I had a solution!!! I've spent about 20 hours trying to get this thing to boot!
One question though - how did you get the 'boot option' menu up (allowing you to clear the registry etc). I might try that on mine (I had assumed that a hard reset ALWAYS cleared the registry.
Given that I was playing around with ozvga before this happened, there's a small chance that might help (though I think not; as I can't see how that would also stop the flash update working)

Just checking but this sounds like you flashed a GSM radio onto a CDMA hero, is this what you have done? if so you are FOOOOOOBARRRRRRED son. and to be honest you really should have read about the radio flash.
If thats what it is,
if it isnt then good luck.

I have ran task 29.. and have to admit i am left a bit worried now... any advice would be great i am going to read the rom section and try and get a new rom and radio combo...
Any Ideas ...
Okay phone seems to be flashing... but task 29 is not seeming to wipe my phone correctly it is still left with the chucky room splash screen after a task 29 i thought this should go white
First thing, your phone is fine - since you can get into bootloader mode.
What version of the HD2 do you have - is it the T-Mobile USA version?
Have you installed HSPL on your phone?
Go to the HTC website for your location and download the ROM for your phone (if your phone is unbranded then download the HTC ROM or if it is branded then download the mobile operator's branded version of the ROM). NOTE: If you are using a TMOUS phone, then double make sure that you are downloading the USA version of the T-Mobile ROM.
Bootup your phone into Bootloader Mode, then connect to your computer via the USB cable. Run the downloaded ROM. Ignore the connected via activesync in the warnings.
Hi i have a O2 uk hd 2 i thought the phone was okay as the laod was coming up and it seems to be writing to it... hm strange it just says loading but the red writing does not appear on the bottom left to say rom and radio version...
Hi have downloaded and flashed the o2 rom from the HTC website it seems to have gone okay BUT now when it boots it is just stuck on the O2 splash screen and goes no further..
I have now removed this from usb and re inserted the sim card and am getting this at the bottom
R 2.07.51.22...2 (Is this the radio?? or the Rom)
g15.32.50.07u
d 1.72.82124
and it has come up slowly and seemed to be loading windows mobile.. and then crashes and starts all over again...
Okay so I have now got a stock o2 rom from htc on my phone. and it is working.
Thank you Fred_up for the advice... should i now be able to start again trying to load a custom rom back on to the device to enable me to use android again?
Try doing a hard reset. While phone is Off, hold Volume up & Volume down buttons, then tap the Power button.
In Bootloader Mode, what does it say?
pull off battery and wait 5 minutes. let the phone cool and the insert back the battery.
it should be alright. however everytime your phone overheating its freeze again..
any solution to that let me know.
cool off your phone. take out the baterry and then once the phone is cool insert the battery and it will boot again.
now hd2 have this problem. overheating. the phone will freeze. hd2 now need freezer to make it not freeze.
I have an HTC Surround that I cant get to boot past htc logo and if i try to hard rest it goes to spl screen. Where can i get the software to reflash it. I also have another microsd that i can change out if that is bad
still working on
So I replaced the mirco sd and tried to do the restore using the power and volume buttons and still would not get it to try and boot more then a few secs and stop at the htc screen. I also flashed the stock att rom that I got off xda but still no luck. My last chance is trying a new battery today are there any more suggestions
My surround did the same thing recently. It's a problem surrounds have. Unfortunately you have tried the 3 most common solutions.
1: reflash with stock rom
2: Change out sd card
3: hard reset
The only way I know of to get a working one after you have tried those 3 things is hope it's under warranty. :-/

Where did you get that stock at&t rom? I've been all through the developer section and all I see are telus and cingular roms. I've got a phone from the shop that's stuck on the htc logo and replacing the sd card hasn't fixed it. I tried to flash a telus rom because hey what the hell do I have to lose but RUU wasn't able to establish an ActiveSync connection on the htc logo screen looping repeatedly. Is there a way to force it into a sort of download mode from the htc logo to do the flashing from?

i'm guessing this should work:
C. Windows Phone 7 ROM Flashing Instructions
1. Unzip your downloaded *.zip file in a separate folder
2. Press and hold power-on/off button to power-off the phone
3. Press and hold volume-down button and then press power-on/off button to enter bootloader mode
4. When your phone enters the tricolor screen bootloader mode, release volume-down button
5. Connect your phone to your windows 7/vista/xp pc/laptop with a usb cable
6. Verify that your phone will be identified and relevant drivers will be installed by windows os of your pc/laptop
7. After completion of (6.) above, check the usb message connection on your phone screen
8. To flash the new ROM go to your pc/laptop folder of (1.) above
9. Double click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and strictly follow the instructions on your pc/laptop screen
Do You still need help about this?
Basically you need to download DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH from this forum, this will allow you to flash a custom rom. The ROM installed at the phone must be a NODO one because mango roms updates the loader and are not compatible.
For apply it you must put the phone on loader. Connect the phone to the usb, turn it off, turn it on but holding volume down key.
Once there you will see the 3 color screen and will say USB run the DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH and follow the steps.
The phone will restart and showing again the 3 color screen but with HSPL now you can install DFT ROM. DFT ROM is basically a custom Windows Phone with the option to sideload apps you just run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the DFT ROM downloaded and it will upgrade your OS to DFT Version.
Now what? SPL too high!
My brothers HTC surround has crashed, and fails to load the OS. i can get to the bootloader, but it's
spl-4.2.2250.1 (129185) MNG
i've got HSPL and RSPL, but they say DON'T TRY IF NOT 1.X SPL OR IF IT SAYS MNG. his says both. he was running mango, and i'm just trying to reinstall a stock rom. I'm wondering what advice any of you might have. I've reinstalled roms on Samsung devices, but not on an HTC, so i'm not sure what all this is about, or what the consequences are of proceeding. any help would be great.
Thanks dudes.

Is it 1/2 bricked?
If you connect the device to a PC does it go to USB mode? At teh red blue green screen does it say USB at the bottom?
USB
It does display USB. If i leave it on for like an hour, eventually, i just discovered, windows DOES load, and it says "your memory is corrupt" it does connect to the computer, and it is detected by my pc, and it does display USB. I'm going to try to put in a new SD card, but i'm wondering once i do that, will i be able to flash the retail rom to it, with that spl.

need custom unlocked rom for my htc surround at&t
Hi.. Plz help I have HTC surround at&t unlocked device and I need to fully unlock
It so dat I can install apps from web without going to wp7 market.
And I want to flash it with custom rom..
Hello, my friend brings me HTC HD2 T8585 yesterday. It seems like it's not T-mobile (white "call" and "end" buttons, no t-mobile label on the top). It freezes on "Energy star", just writes ROM and radio version on the bottom left and freezes. Now it has radio 2.09.51.xxx. If I try to update it to xx.50.xx it stops switching on, recognising by USB and charging at all. Totally bricked. But I have found strange way to reanimate it. I'm pulling battery out (for 5-10 minutes), reset HD2 few times by red button, insert it back, push reset few times again, plug USB cable inside, charging battery 5 minutes by external 5V adapter is also helps sometimes (now it has 3.85V), and sometimes it possible to switch it on (1 time on 10 tryings). When it switched on, it's possible to update radio back to xx.51.xx version and after that it switches on very distinctly, but freezes on Energy star again (it refuses to boot any flashed rom). It's possible to install android on this HTC with xx.50.xx radio. I did it and it works (but freezes then I'm trying to make a call). Of course to boot android on xx.50.xx I need to pull and insert battery, press reset and make special magic dance...
I have a loop here: to boot android I need new Radio Update.
To switch the phone on without magic spells I need old 2.09.51 Radio.
Sometimes it's possible to boot firmware on 2.09.51. I don't know how i got it, but after 5 minutes of freezing on "energy star" it booted up stock firmware i flashed before.
I don't know what to do. Is it hardware failure?
I'm not sure what you have, but there's no "energy star" on my device?!
any screenshots for the device/the screen that it freezes on?

by energy star, do you mean the energy rom boot screen? The energy rom WILL NOT boot with a ..51.. radio. It must have a ..50.. radio for it to work.
OR - have you been flashing custom boot screens? there is an 'energy star' bootscreen, made to look like a PC bios boot screen, is that what you mean?
flashing a radio without HSPL, , you are mistaken, that cannot be done.
we need more direct info to help, i'm afraid. Screen shots or at least full filenames of what you have flashed LAST would be great.

Okay I'll try to tell full story. This phone was previosly updated to custom W.M. 6.5 rom (by my friend's friend I don't know him directly). I don't know which rom he used. May be he changed splash screen (wow I found it! i always thought it's real boot time proccess for HTC HD2 ) . Yesterday my friend brought this phone to me with two problems: 1: slow and not stable booting (sometimes it freezed on splash screen 2: After (and if) it loads WM, it crashes in very short time to screen full of green colour. So I tryed to install Hyper Droid. First I downloaded HSPL4 and updated HSPL from 1.66.0000 to 2.08.HSPL . After that I tryed to install MAGLDR and phone showed only Energy Star splash screen. After short googling I decided to update radio. After updating it to 2.15.50 phone switched off and i was not able to switch it on (like described in this post). I disconnected battery and after few tryings it switched on and loads MAGLD, i prepared partition (150MB file) and update zipped rom from SD card. Between these steps I disconnected battery many times, because it was impossible to switch phone on after reboot. I spend about 2 hours and Android was installed but phone freezed after 2 minutes (charging animation stoped and it didn't respond on buttons). Also I got 100% freezing then I tryed to make a call.
I tryed different version of Radio (about 7) and found 2.x.51.x working more stable (phone switching on by pressing button or connecting usb cable) . 2.x.50.x all have same switching on issues ;( . Now I updated HSPL to 3.03.HSPL and found that it (?) resolved issue with charging LED (it stayed ON after usb cable disconnecting) . Now I'm downloading stock 1.66 region free firmware and will try to flash it..

I found LEO of my friend is from Singapoure (thanks this) ) s/n: SH0CLNW03xxx . I tryed my s\n on htc singapoure support site and now i'm downloading original firmware!
After further researching I decided this phone has battery/mainboard failure. It freezes and makes green screen of death randomly, especialy often under high power consuption or while disconnecting USB cable. I flashed Rom directly from SD card, because usb update didn't work for me. Now it has stock firmware with stock splash screen. 3.03.0000 SPL and 2.15.50 radio. I'm giving up. Thank you all, here are a lot of useful information.
Did you do a hard reset after flashing the stock ROM. if that didn't do the trick, you could send it to maintenance now that it has stock WinMo on it.
Yes i did hard reset, it didn't help, I think it's need a bit work with soldering dryer. May be CPU or other chip has bad connection to mainboard... I've found i can get 100% GSOD by shacking phone or knocking its back cover. I don't know why it has difference with 51 and 50 radio. Now if it's freezed i'm pulling out the battery for one minute, and it switches on with 95% warranty. With radio 51 it switches on without need of battery removing.
