Sorry Karhoe - can't get the link to work. It's taking me to a "cannot display this page" error.
Very interested though (son's got my Typhoon 0 he may not care about it's OS but need something to FLASH!!!). Thanks.

Link was down because server was down, now its up again, gv it a try

Hi, karhoe, can you modify the download link to the final version.

Link in first post updated

connection error
I get a connection error during flashing step 5. I have checked all connections and used different cables. Any suggestions?
Peter

Did you turn on back your USB ?

What does error on Disk On Chip mean? What are we to do if we encounter such an error? error code =27

No idea, try to reboot you phone and repeat the process

I actually got the answer myself.. Said error occurs if you fail to press 0 on the boot loader portion of the ROM update process. Got WM6 now.. phone performance is a little slow than WM2003 but it is not that significant to return back to 2003se yet...

Thanks
Thanks for the thread your the man!!!

still getting the connection error. It is the step before you turn USB off so it is on and synced before I start this step.

Thanks

Big problem

Hi
I am new here and i have problem
When i turn on my qtek9000, i recieve message Serial V.100.
If i connect USB cable it displays USB instead of Serial.
This happened when i tried to do radio upgrade (through usb hub, sim and sd were also in phone...).
I have 1gb SD card and also card reader mounted in laptop, so transfering files should not be problem.
Can someone help me with step-by-step procedure how to make my qtek work back. I used a lot of search but i am even more confused....
I just remember that when qtek worked Radio was something like 1.0.3.1 and also WWE was writen somewhere....
Probably i should put rom to sd with ntrw (which wersion of both),.......
please help....
might be a dumb question on my part - but have you tried a reset (initially a soft one but then a hard one of course, if nothing else works...) ???
I mean you will at least be able to revert back to the condition 'out of the package'...
Hope everything works out!
jup.both things NOT HELPED
looks like you're stuck in the bootloader mode....
try flashing the rom & the radio rom once again by connecting it to your laptop's usb...
i guess something screwed up while you were upgraging your radio rom...and you'd need to redo it!
Best,
San
can you please write me a procedure?
You might want to check the following thread. Everything is well described.

I have solved problem with Radio upgrade. I am in much better mood now. 8)
Anyway i have 4 more questions.
1.) I am using bluetooth car-instalation Parrot CK3100. I am wondering if is possible to transfer any other sound except telephone conversations to that device. When i had Nokia 9500 i was able to hear every single click,tone,...i made on phone also on car-instalation. I also heard nokia ringtone in car instalation.With qtek i am getting generic car-instalation ringing tone instead of phone ringing. Otherwise primary intention (hands free talking) works fine. I would like to have that to be able to hear voices from various GPS software.
2.) Since QTEK9000 is PDA and phone in single unit I would like to have in car GPS application "always on top". Like previously mentioned i can easily manage my calls with car-instalation. Therefore i would like to run Phone section in background or GPS applications on top.I hope you will understand what i would like to say
3.) I also need in-car holder for qtek. Do you have any reccomendations?
4.)
My settings:
R: 1.04.02
G: 42.37.P8
D: 1.13.64.WWE
Is that ok or should i upgrade?
Stuck in bootloader mode
Hi guys,
Got stuck in bootloader mode following an upgrade attempt. Tried to reflash radio using the files from the pload folder only to get an error saying it's for the wrong device - tried this several times with the same result.
any ideas?
Is there a binary and a tool I can just do a straight upload?
thanks

2. hope it flashes it

Thanks DreamTheater
Thanks for your help - unfortunately I got the same message, ie this rom is not meant for this device etc...
Will see O2 can do anything (who's that laughing...???) - was going to buy a new xda mini anyway...!
1. REMOVE your SD/MMC card.
2. Soft/hard reset.
3. Run the upgarde again.
Step 1 above solved my problem.

Upgrade to WM2005 + compact framework 2.0

After a lot of trouble I finally succeeded in installing WM2005 on my SPV c500.
Background of this is that I also want to install Compact framework 2.0 and do some development.
However after the installation of CF2.0, restarting of the gsm results in a hang up when the sim-code has to be input....
After a while an Windows error message occurs ...asking me to send de error log to MS, which has no use because WM2005 is an illegal version...
Has anyone any idea what's the cause of this, or better knows the solution to this problem?
Try to turn off the input of SIM code. Sometimes it's buggy in this version.
Thanks, that seems to be working for the moment...
Hi...
where did you find the rom ? The Typhoon folder on the ftp is *emtpy* ...
/johnny
http://ronswens.technoboard.ws/
I stop wasting my time trying to upgrade to WM5. WM5 for this gsm is very unstable.
Lots of succes to everbody.
I'm in the same boat as Freeck, but I really need to solve this problem if at all possible. Does anyone have any information or leads at all on why installing .NET Compact Framework 2.0 on ronswens' WM5 (on Typhoon obviously) causes cprog.exe crashes on the next reboot? Even if it's just background info or a "you're doomed, ha ha ha!", it'd be helpful at this point .
Thanks in advance!
Download the last version of SPV-Service client from here.
Extract all the files from archive to some folder on the PC and run SPVServices.exe (press OK on the phone when it ask to install TyphoonNBFTools.dll).
Click 'CID Tool (Alpha)' on the left and press [Set CID = 11111111] on the right. Wait untill it's done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When i open SPVServices.exe it just opens up this app on my pc that says RAPI INIT OK or something like that, but no prompt on the phone to install TyphoonNBFTools.dll

Hmmmm.
What do you mean with:
Update UPSL v0.1 by Pof
Michael
Pof is a user
UPSL is an unlocker utility so you can flash alternative ROM's
check the link - very informative.
reflashing your phone usually takes a weeks worth of reading if you care for your device.
And read it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312052
maybe it help you..!
Is there an easier way to explain this - Sorry i'm quite good working with my PC, but this was a bit greek:
All you need to do is:
1. Remove your SD card
2. Do a hard reset or clean storage (some programs like battery status block full access to your device)
3. Connect your mobile to PC and make sure that activsync connection is established
4. Start to flash your device with USPL, when DOS part end and your mobile switch to bootloader mode vista will find new device and start instaling new drivers.
5. Wait till vista finish installing new drivers and unplug your device, do a soft reset
6. Next step is to change vista drivers to xp, to do this you need to fallow this instruction:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemi d=27
7. After switching the drivers plug your artemis again and install USPL, there should be no more problems with connection lost (errors 260, 270)
8. When USPL instalation will finish you can flash any rom you want to your arte
Succesfully tested on my T-Mobile MDA UK now I've got WM6 WWE.
Thanks pof for your great release
That explination is about as clear as it gets in 'phone talk'.
Perhaps elaborate a bit on what is exactly, or what step is, throwing you off.
Windows XP
Hi again.
Would i solve the problem if i just installed it from an Windows XP machine at work?
One final thing - Do you know if the GPS will still be working afterwards.
Have a good night from Oslo - Norway

MDA Vario II (Hermes) upgrade problem,

Hi @ all
I need help!!! I have a Vario II and wanted to unlock it to use another sim, i downloaded a package called HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a and started it. Ok now i have the big problem that when i start the MDA, only the Tri color screen appears. What can i do, do make it work again??? Maybe an upgrade, i have no idea.. Please help me, i wanna use my Vario II again, now it seems, that i can throw it in the rubbish bin. I'm absolutely hopelessly....
Ps. I also tried to update it to WM6 with the t-mobile software and with a normal one, downloaded from a link in this forum but after 1 % there is a update error 286 : The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process... This programm will guide you.. and so on ..
On the screen are the 3 colors and white and the Information: HERM 300 IPL-1.01 and HERM 300 SPL-1.40.0ipro
Ok thats all i know ^^
Firstly, have you tried the unbricking wiki page and followed the instructions. Be patient, read, reread and understand.
Secondly, what OS are you using (Vista, XP, W2K etc?) do you have the .net framework installed on that PC?
You (fortunately) appear to have HardSPL on the device by the sound of it so should be able to unbrick it if you follow the instructions on the wiki page.
Make sure you're using a non-vista PC with the .net framework installed and then try flashing ANY OS ONLY Rom in NBH format using the custom RUU wrapper. This should restore your device to some form of order.

[Blue Angel] Upgrade "Connection Error"

Hey Folks,
i have problem while upgrading. I have a Blue Angle flahed last year to WinMo 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20262 (Build 19949.1.2.0Black). I don't remember the release. But now i have i big problem. I cant upgrade to any newer or lower version.
I tried:
- Format Storage
- Hive Registry
- Disabeled und enabled Active Sync
- With/without Bootloader Mode
- three different RUU.dll
Everytime i try to upgrade (not in bootloader mode) i fetches rom version and proceed. But after 20sec it say connection error. In bootloader mode i doesn't fetch version and same message after 20 sec. Both tried with or without AS and on two different Computers und XP SP3.
Any help?
Sincerly - firstabalon
hi,
since you tried so much stuff before and seem to know your way around the device and the general upgrading process and i have hardly anything to suggest to go on trying. probably the only thing left to try is take another blueangel with either one of your pcs.
another thing is, i uploaded my ruu, which has always worked for me and everybody else who tried it.
i hope this helps, but i will keep on thinking and maybe i can still come up with more ideas.
chef tony...
i dont get it...
i dont know how to use this...
sorry...

Couple of things to try out would be to switch USB ports, try a different cradle (if you can get your hands on one), or try using mtty.
