New owner of HTC X7500 - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

Hi guys! I have bought a HTC X7500 set which is running fine the wm5.0 and I would like to do an upgrade to wm6 before anything else. I have been doing some reading here on the forum, but still kindly ask for your advice:
1. Is it correct that upgrading to the stock wm6 ROM I don't need to deal with SPL and bootloaders as the stock wm6 ROM will do the complete job by itself?
2. If positive, can somebody please direct me to the download for the English or French stock ROM with wm6 for Europe? (I have seen that most of the links on this forum are dead)
3. If negative, then which unlocker is it best to apply? Would the CID unlocker with Athena Wrapper be enough?
4. Is the WM6.1 WWE 1.60 MiChY Full Edition a good and fast custom ROM please? Is it a big difference in speed and memory space compared to WM6.5 MiChY. The download links are dead, can somebody upload a copy please?
5. A link to download the existing installed ROM versions wm5 would also be welcome, helping me to get on the safe side with the current version.
My HTC ATHE100 was initially bought in Switzerland, therefore the wm5 is in French and the physical keyboard is of azerty type (strange!).
It appears to be SIM unlocked.
WM 5.1.465 build 15673.3.3.1
ROM version: 1.25.406.2
Radio version: 1.38.00.00
IPL-v1.00
SPL-v1.07.0000
Thank you!

Nobody???

QTEK ROM Upgrade / Urgent

Updated rom's to version Radio 4.16 and Rom 3.15.15
URL: http://julia.online.o2.nl/xda_downloads/xda_software1/RUU_ENG.exe = ROM upgrade
URL: http://julia.online.o2.nl/xda_downloads/xda_software1/RSU_ENG.exe = RADIO upgrade
Hello i was wondering if the above ROM updates will work on my QTEK 1010:
ROM Version: 3.16.13 ENG
Radio Version: 3.19.01
I mean anyone tested if before or managed to upgrade his QTEK with the above ROM versions from O2 and were there any complications!!
:?: :?: :? :?: :?:
Thanks
Yes I did and it worked fine. I have it running on T-Mobile MDA, Qtek 1010 and Eurotel dataphone (rebranded Qtek). No problems.
I tried to upgrade and got the following error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ROM Image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible to your pocket pc.
Here are there differences:
Your device information:
ModelW10A:007
ROM Version: 3.16
Language: English
Your upgraded image information
ModelW10A:001
ROM Version: 3.15
Language: English
Please download the compatible utility and try again
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So where is the problem?
Thanks

It has been answered a few times, look through fora. it's a general pocket pc language change question, but applies to this one too. You need to rewrite the ROM header to match your device. Can be sort of tricky if you don't know what you're doing.
Did you install it
I have the same qtek with 3.16 and 3.19 shall I do it or wait to uk version?
If you don't mind O2 startup screen & O2 autoconfig...
supplier or distributor

Hi,
My advise to you is to try to get the latest rom upgrade from
either your supplier or distributors.
Also be very wary and careful when you got advice from this
forum on where or which website to download etc especially the
one which you do not have any informations if it suit your device
or not. If it is not suitable then after downloading it to your device
it will freeze up and you have to get it replaced. These people who
give advise take for granted everyone who view this forum are
professional like them. They never realise there are lots of new
users of the device that are trying to find out more informations.
Sometimes no warning was given to you when they just give you
the website to download etc.. I am one of those new user and also
I believe one of the victims too. I do support their intetests in this
forum but not the way some of the advise are given. Hope they
got the message. So good luck to you and happy upgrading.
Why on earth would you want to go from 3.16/3.19 to 3.15/4.16? Makes no sense to me...
bamse: because it's better
I'am used xda radio upgrade 4.16.00 with qtek
it is fine

Qtek 9100 1.6.7.1 ROM available

This is buried in some other threads, so here you go
(First off, I take no responsibility! Dumped using aWizard tools, and you can find more info in that thread on these forums.)
ROM version: 1.6.7.1 WWE
date 11/28/05
radio 1.13.10
protocol 4.0.13.24
extrom: 1.6.7.101
Here are the links and anyone is welcome to upload it to the FTP...
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG.zip
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG_Extended_ROM2.zip
Note that it doesn't contain radio firmware, etc. It is just the OS and ROM2.
n return I ask for your comparison in terms of speed, included apps, stability, etc. versus your current version. Reply to forum....
how do we install the nba?
Here's the thread with aWizard. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386
It's very easy...connect via usb, make sure Activesync is connected, then (going from memory here, but the tool will prompt you anyway )
Enable RAPI
Unlock (if not using a Qtek)
'w' to write the file
cross fingers and wait for phone to reboot
But again, only do it if you're comfortable! I am no Qtek representative
Ouch, i got rom-version 1.3.7.13 ... Is it many new fixes in this one?

extended rom version?
What is the difference betwen the normal and extended rom version?
I unlocked (also CID unlocked) mine SPV M3000 and run now a Qtek 9100 version on it...
Hi Sorry if this is a stupid question,
but I'm assuming that the ROM upgrade - http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG.zip
will update the OS ONLY (ie WM5) and NOT alter the contents of the Extended ROM??
I ask because I want to keep my T-mobile UK customisations (Found in the extended ROM) as they have my internet settings etc. I dare say one day I'll get around to finding out what they are so I can ditch the T-mobile stuff.
P.S Just in case I have backed up my extended ROM stuff just in case
Thanks in advance
John
Correct, the OS is the OS, the Extended ROM is separate
Anything cool in that Tmobile Ext ROM?
Not really, it seems to customise the look of the PDA - easily altered using Pocket Plus, and it sets the IE homepage and settings. What all the others do is anybodies guess??
Mine has these:--Seems a lot- I wonder what they all do and whether they are really needed??

Hi Mate,
Could you tell us what is your after-upgrading Windows Version is?
Mine is 5.1.70 (build 14406.1.1.1), if your WM5 version differs then there is at least one reason to upgrade my Qtek9100 rom (1.1.7.9). Otherwise it seems that 1.6.7.1 is the same as 1.1.7.1 in terms of OS
Thanx in advance
Sorry if this is a silly question, but can I use this on my O2 XDA mini s?
Will I lose or gain anything over the O2 ROM (that was shipped with the handset)?
The one feature I REALLY want is A2DP so I can use my bluetooth stereo headphones.
Thanks for any advice.

extended rom ?
Hi
I'm new so I might asked stupid questions
I got my PDA for 3 day and thanks to the posts here, I unlocked,
put some other firmware on it etc...
What is not clear for me at the moment is the extended rom issue ?
Is this a sort of addition ?
Can anyone help this newbie ?
Heya rgoodwin,
What was the original source of your ROM? Did you modify it in any way? The ROM that TMO UK offers is version 1.6.2.4, so yours appears a bit more "advanced".
Sorry if this info is posted elsewhere - I even went to your site, rgoodwin, and couldn't find a listing. Nice low carb story, btw!
Can you update the ROM without losing any data on the device?

Qtek s200 french rom ----> Qtek s200 rom WWE ?!?

Hello,
I have just recieved my new qtek s200 with this french rom:
ROM version: 2.9.7.33 FRE
ROM date: 14/2/06
Radio version: 02.07.20
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ext ROM version: 2.9.7.116
Can i upgrade to this qtek WWE rom (RUU_Prophet_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship)
without unlocking CID first?
Will the new ROM improve the camera function?
thx!
piXie
I have exactly the same version and I am interrested too !
Can you explain me what is WWE and CID?
Thanks a lot !
hi Gazous,
WWE is just... World Wide English ;-) instead of french you will have English.
CID is the vendor lock so you can't install other vendors roms, only roms from qtek in my case.
anyway still waiting for an answer....lol...thats ok i got plenty of time ;-)
cheers
piXie
v2.9.7.116 FR available
Version V2.9.7.116 FR is available on www.smart-phones.be if your have a valid EMEI.
I've tried to install it but after 1%, my pc automatically shutdown.
After that, my QTEK didn't work.
Return to After-Sales services
Another person tried to update and same result...
Daniel
Use NoVendorID reflashing utility and have a ROM of your choice... Search the forum for details...
thx myplate ;-)
my question is still unanswered tho...
Can I install a qtek WWE rom instead of a qtek french rom (my current rom) without unlocking CID or worring that my s200 will die on me?
After all, both roms come from qtek but since one is french version and the other is world wide english version...i'm afraid it will not be compatible...(plz dont tell me i'm a paranoid) lol
Thx again
piXie
omg walker! just saw your post....was it meant for me??
novendorid....is needed only if a different vendor rom is used right??
thx
piXie
ok Walker, lets see if i understood correctly:
1. I have a s200 with a french rom, and i want to change to WWE rom.
2. I downloaded the NoVendorID rom version for the dopod, and extracted it.
3. Should i just run the ROmUpdateUtility and it will install the dopod rom?
4. If yes, what about CID unlocking?? will I be able to install other rom versions later on?
appriciate your help
cheers
piXie
Don't hesitate to read the forum. All the answers are here...
Be sure, all the Prophets are sure identical in hardware. The only difference is the vendor ID and counry ID in the flash. You will newer damage your device, even running ROM for other vendor. My Qtek S200 now has Dopod 2.15 ROM. No problem! You can use WWE or FRA or RUS or CHT ROM and it will work. However, ROM utility won't reflash if it see the vendor is digfferent. One of the good gays has a bit fixed it to make it less strict.
If you afraid of wolves - never go to the forest. If you afraid of consequences - just do nothing forever. If you want to got WWE - just reflash with WWE ROM. Or go to the service and ask the guys to do it for you.
Try first the WWE ROM itself, if it fails with VendorID error - it's possible, run the same with NoVendorID utility. The only one thing to care about - the right ROM. If you try a ROM for 9100 - you will have a problem, but still recoverable, AFAIK. If you do something really stupid, your device becomes a pretty good black toy for kids, just like a real, but don't works ))))
Have a good luck!
lol Walker...you'r always two steps a head of me...
Hi Walker !
your story about the bad wolfes convinced me to go ahead and install ;-)
anyway, it works fine.
thanks a lot
take care
piXie
Enjoy! And have a good luck!

searching for Proximus ROM for Hermes

Hi All,
I wonder if somebody knows where I can find a rom of Proximus in Belgium.
Hi,
I'm from Belgium also ... why would you like to have that rom? Just install the latest ROM version here available ... I think that's the best ROM you can have ...
Well, I'm also looking for that rom and more specifically for the extrom.
Proximus added some special items in that extrom which I would like to have :
The mobile TV player (and I guess you also need the certificates), a custom version of MMS composer and a cab file which sets all connection settings, etc.
So if anybody has that rom (or ExtRom), please post it here.
Regards,
Bendalf
UP!!
Anybody can HELP with that?
Up I'm really interested in that too...
In fact I want to try upgrade to WM6 but I also want to be able to put the phone back to it's original state.
I don't know if it's really possible cause I have to update all software parts...
The reason is for warranty...
Guys,
Don't know exactly what part of the ext rom you're referring to? I bought a regular Dutch TyTn and have been flashing and reflashing and reflashing again From WM5 to 6 and back again, changing SPL in between and even started a little cooking of my own.
Most of the cooked roms work (very) well, but if you really want to make sure, you need to dump your original rom first before you flash a new one. (read the wiki and all the threads you can find first)
Anyway, I hope you have as much fun as me discovering how to customize your hermes and make it do what you want, how you want it and more important, make it do what you want it to do.
Grtz.
Hi aeroke,
Thank for your answer.
In fact, I'm just waiting to be sure that I can if needed (ie: hardware problem that need warranty) I can restore the phone to the exact original state to avoid any warranty problem.
So tell me if I'm wrong but full original state is:
- original IPL
- original SPL
- original radio rom
- original rom
- original extended rom
For now, I try to find each "original pieces" before upgrading
- for extended rom: I unhide it and simply copy/paste content of "Extended_rom" folder to my computer. Is it the right way ?
- for rom: I find a tutorial on the wiki and I'll follow it this evening, I hope I can do that
- for radio rom, IPL, SPL: for now, I don't know if it's possible to get (by dumping or downloading) the original ones and restore them after
I write all the informations I found in my phone for the original versions, here there are:
HERM200
IPL-1.00
HERM200
SPL-1.04
version ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
version Radio: 1.03.03.10
version de Protocole: 32.34.7010.01H
version ROM Extended: 1.18.256.9643
So, as soon I'll be sure that I can roll back to the original state, I'll upgrade to the WM6 schaps version by following the vanx guide.
I found a guide for backing up and restore the TyTN by dumping the ROM just here. But I never found any guide to restore SPL, radio ROM, IPL...
I'll be happy to have any informations about that.
Thank you in advance
Don't worry about the warranty, i bricked my Hermes once (only after that i found out how to do it right ) and it was repaired with no extra costs. So i wouldn't worry to much about it.
Just go ahead and flash that thingy. Btw, the Black Satin (JJ) together with radio 1.47.00.10 works perfectly with Proximus.
Thanks for your response, I'll look about Black Satin.
Just another question, is there any incompatibility with any WM6 and Extended_Rom software provided by Proximus ?
I haven't used any software from Proximus untill now, bought my Hermes with standard WM5 and flipped in my Proximus SIM card. The software you find here on the forums do everything that you can imagine, so there is really no need for special proximus software i guess.
As far as I can tell, the IPLdoesn't change normally, but the SPL does change. Anyway no worries as you can restore your original SPL (I still have the 1.04 somewhere)
The radio rom can always be flashed back with the original duth rom you find here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
This rom also reflashes your IPL and SPL back.
As far as compatibility between the WM6 roms and Proximus soft goes, I don't know, but I can't imagne you need more/other soft than you find available right here.
EDIT: This is only my personal opinion, but I think I tried about al the WM6 roms and find the one from Schaps the most stable one, perhaps not the most graphicaly exciting one, but the most stable one.
Grtz
Settings Proximus
Hi, I'm also on Proximus here in Belgium. Has anyone found an Ext_rom yet from this provider? Or maybe any ideas when they will launch their wm6 version?
I haven't got the settings for proximus. Any help?
Tnx in advance
Hi,
I have one Hermes from their "Proximus Collection" so I have a Proximus Ext ROM on it. I can do a Backup of it and upload it to the xda wiki. (I'll do that this evening if I can).
I don't know if Proximus will provide an upgrade to WM6...
Thanks Genyam for your help.
Can you tell us the rom version you have ?

Would that work with WM6?
I don't know if it works with WM6 but as this is only a set of CAB files, I suppose that they are compatible.
I've already created and uploaded to xda ftp a dump of my ROM.
My infos:
ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
Radio: 1.03.03.10
Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H
Extended ROM: 1.18.256.9643
The CID for the Proximus Hermes: QTEK_203
OK thnx, grabbin it right now. Is it French only?
The dump that is already uploaded is for ROM, not Ext_ROM, I'll put my Ext_ROM this evening.
I suppose that it's not french only cause when I hard reset my Hermes it's in Dutch.
yeah thnx i noticed. Np, i'll grab it tonight then.
The Extended Rom is added to this wiki page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms

Upgrade DOPOD c800 to windows Mobile 6.....need help please

I have a DOPOD C800 with the following specs:
ROM version: 1.7.707.3 WWE
ROM date: 11/01/06
Radio Version: 02.69.90
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.30
ExtROM Version: 1.7.707.106
Operating system: windows mobile 5.0 - OS 5.1.422
Can someone please help me with steps to upgrade it to windows mobile 6/6.1?
I checked on the dopod official site and the upgrade is not available for c800.
So will i have to unlock CID? am basically confused.....can someone help with the steps please?
Thanks in advance.
what is your SPL? If it is over 4, you should HardSPL your phone and flash one of our custom roms, or use the USPL to do it.
Welcome to xda-devs. make sure you do all your research before trying anything.
Try the HTC site
Try the HTC site ...
--The HTC site does not have a official ROM for the Asian Dopod c800.
what is your SPL? If it is over 4, you should HardSPL your phone and flash one of our custom roms, or use the USPL to do it.
-- my SPL is 1.09.0001
it looks like you are stuck with the rom that you have. Try using aserg's method. it's one of our older flashing methods.
search for it in our forums. tip for you- ALWAYS have RUU ready.
Can u pls tell me what the aeserg's method is? and what do u mean by having the RUU always ready? and which RUU are u talking about? I don't think there is a RUU for the DOPOD C800. If there is then pls let me know where it is.
thanks.
--The HTC site does not have a official ROM for the Asian Dopod c800.
I think they should be the same, but only try if you're really desperate to get WM6. I put the htc wm6 (in english) on my htc branded version bought in China with a chinese version of wm5.
czhang- you can buy HTC devices in china. but you can also buy dopod devices. Even if dopod is essentially HTC in china. the RUUs do not work together.
Rangnekarrahul: aserg's method is a way that we were able to flash the first roms made for the herald, before we had USPL and HardSPL. I'm pretty sure you don't have to have a 4+ SPL to do it, but the lack of RUU means that if you mess up, your device is dead.
for more info on aserg's method, look at some of our oldest roms, like touch-it 1 or 2.
do u really think its worth the effort? also can u tell me the actual method(aserg's) I tried finding in the forums but am not really very sure. Some talked about extracting the .nbh file and stuff.....don't know how to do it...if writing in this forum is a pain then u can mail me the procedure at [email protected] .
thanks
I had successfully upgraded my dopod c800 following instructions. Please see my earlier post
regards
I had successfully upgraded my dopod c800 following instructions. Please see my earlier post
---- buddy I will definitely try this. Can you pls let me know where can I find the Official RUU -HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.e xe
?
Thanks again for the help
Thanks for the help guys..... I have upgraded my C800 successfully.....works great now.....
