it shows
Rom ve: 1.12.00WWE
Radio Ver:1.12.10
Ext Rom:1.12.186WWE
Which rom should i use to upgade it
and whether it is an O2 or Imate it sshows O2mini but it is telstra branded.
i guess it was assembled or something.
can anybody have an idea about it.
What do want to gain with upgrading? You got the most recent O2/Telstra rom. If you insist use this link to get 1.13 http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade.
It's T-Mobile so write down your voicemail & gprs settings! & backup your current ext-rom.

im sorry if this has been discussed before but I tried SEARCH button and Im having problem connecting to the database. I also browse on some thread and I didn't see an answer to my query.
So here it goes...
I got an IMate Jam from the US (Band 850/1800/1900).
1.) Is it possible to install non USA ROM like O2 Asia, Qtek or iMate WWE? Because when I tried to install the WWE version it says incompatible device (not the country error). Should I just follow the procedure from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade and everything will be fine?
2.) If ever that procedure will solve the problem.. will the band be changed to 900/1800/1900? (or is this a hardware thingy?).
2.a If it will not change the band, how bad will the signal be on a country that uses 900/1800?
2.b If it will change the band, will the reception be better?
Thanks and will wait for ur replies

Guysss ... mine was solved ... this is what I do. I tried flashing with higher Radio ROM --> not working. Tried re-installed ROM --> not working ... guess what ... tried using my friend's SIM Card from different provider than mine ... suddenly the signal back on ! Changed back my SIM Card and the signal was there ... maybe you guys could do this ... there's no harm in doing it ... if your problem is exactly the same as mine ... good luck ...
Hello! i have a vodafone v1240 (qtek 8310) and i tried to update its rom and got stuck at 73% for hours. finally i unplugged it from pc and when i reset the phone it shows me just a white screen and i can't shut it down i must take the battery off. it doesnt want to connect with the pc again, in activesync wont recognise it. can u help me pls to get my phone back to life?
i suppose you have new a paper weight now .
cant guarantee but some people have recoverd the phone from this state.
what rom did u try to flash?
Ill suggest you try getting in to the bootloader (Plug the usb ,press and hold volume down and the press the camera button). If you see a 3 color band. Then way to go. Just flash the latest vodaphone V1240 rom
it doesnt want to work that way, it's not responding to this key combination. i tried to update with the latest update rom from vodafone vf-uk_v1240_aku2_v254832_ship.exe and got stuck. someone told me because it was slipped off and can be some hardware failure(i just got it repaired, the display was broken and had to be replaced) but it was working just fine after that, the win mobile 2003 second edition was good just that I want to update to the latest version from vodafone.do you have some other method of ressurection ??
I just read somewhere that from this state cannot be recovered (white screen of death) and my bootloader is crashed.
do you have knowledge if I can repair it by replacing the rom memory phone with a new one ?? (of course, at an authorised qtek service)
is your phone still under warranty??
may i know where do you stay/which country???
allow me sometime to check what part of the rom is flashed first.
That's because as you said your flash was stuck @ 73%.
if the bootloader is flashed first then it might be recoverable(can't guarantee though!), if its flashed at the end then you might want to get it repaired from a authorised repair center , trust me it will be costly as buying a new phone!
my phone has no warranty. i'm from romania but the phone was bought in italy. so can u tell me if the bootloader is still good? and how can i get in?
it was working just fine after that, the win mobile 2003 second edition was good just that I want to update to the latest version from vodafone.do you have some other method of ressurection ??

Are you sure its a Tornado, i did not know that any Tornado shipped with WM2003SE.
yeah maybe he had loaded the inappropriate rom.
it's a vodafone v1240 (qtek 8310) ...the update was an official rom from vodafone exactly for this model. yes it had win mobile smartphone 2003 se
I sent the phone to a very good service and it cannot be re-softed. I think the rom memory on the phone's board must be replaced.
so... I'm looking for somebody who has a damaged QTEK 8310 (VODAFONE V1240) or a rom memory chip for this model
I will pay for it because I want to repair my phone!
Hi guy, it's nothing to do with the rom memory. The phone you got is not a real Tornado, but you tried to update it by loading a Tornado ROM, it's a dangerous action, it may damage the IPL and SPL!
yeah i insist. maybe he's just confused or what. his device is not a Tornado. it runs on wm2003se os.
ok let's get all clear here. it's a vodafone v1240 (search on google to find out more) and it is similar to qtek 8310. I tried to update with an official rom for V1240 its not an innapropiate rom or a modified one. Still looking for someone who has a broken VODAFONE V1240
It's very clear, you loaded an inappropriate rom, because your phone is not a real Vodafone v1240. A real Vodafone v1240 shipped with Windows Mobile 5.0, TI OMAP 850 CPU and Wi-Fi block, but your phone shipped with Windows Mobile 2003 SE, TI OMAP 750 CPU and without Wi-Fi. I give you some more information about Vodafone v1240, it's made by HTC, which is a mobile device ODM. The same device sold in defferent areas got defferent names.
Vodafone v1240 = Qtek 8310 = imate sp5 = Dopod 577W
As I know, Dopod 577W got a brother Dopod 577, which have the same specifications as your phone got. Dopod 577 or your phone can not load official rom for Dopod 577W or Vodafone v1240, because they got defferent board and CPU.
i think it falls in cases like in t-mobile sda(wm5 usa version). they also have t-mobile sda II(wm5 europe version) and t-mobile sda II(wm2003se usa version). they almost have the same appearance and form factor but different os. so if your unsure of what kind of device you have, check its system info carefully. but in your case i think you got the inappropriate ROM. unless you show us bits of system info of your device.
cheers
u know u got me all confused. so bluehanson u're trying to tell me that i have a Dopod 577 with Vodafone label on it, who looks just like V1240?
the model is this:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=471
but it had on it Win Mobile 2003 SE cause I checked before the crash occured.
the rom i was trying to update is vf-uk_v1240_aku2_v254832_ship.exe
based on your link, it is indeed a wm5 tornado smartphone. the rom you loaded is not intended for your device.
Maybe when the screen was "repaired" (as described in an earlier post), the shop just put in the guts for a 2003se edition phone? Perhaps worth checking with them?

ericjm so what's the real V1240 model designed for this rom? cause now i'm totally confused
i dont know what led you to believe it had 2003se,but all tornados are loaded with wm5... and i believe that its not the issue... i think sometime while flashing your rom your phone lost connection with your pc hence your phones curent state... cause you said it stopped at 72% or sumthing... when flashing even with the wrong rom it will go to 100% then not restart... stopping before it got all the way to 100% accidentally or intentionally could lead to a bricked phone... just my 2 cents...
Im currently living abroad in Germany and have purchased a Kaiser via T-Mobile, branded as MDA Vario III. Well I love the device but my german sucks and the whole OS is in german. Is there anyway I can flash to ROM to get an english version of the OS? If I did this would it still work in Germany via T-Mobile or is there some kind of lock to the current ROM? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Yep! Just HardSPL, and then select an English ROM (most are) and flash.
Read the Sticky in this forum for guide lines on how to flash, and common problems and thier solutions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1846653&postcount=800
Go there and READ and READ. (Read the Wiki first). You will find all your solution there. Everything you need explained over there.
I will describe the procedures you will need:
1. Back up your stuff
2. Charge up your phone to 100% and connect to your pc with usb make sure ActiveSyn can see your phone
3. CID or SIM unlock your phone first if it is necessary then.
4. HardSPL your phone (You can find the information in the Wiki)
- If you encounter White Screen Problem, check the HardSPL White Screen
Issue - Solved!
5. Find a Rom that you like
6. Find the radio rom that rom supports
7. Flash the rom
8. Do a HARD RESET when you see the "Tab the screen to setup windows mobile..."
9. Flash the radio rom
10. You are DONE!!!!!!!
As long as it's GSM band, then it should all work. You might have to manually setup the 3G network for Germany on your phone.
Thanks for the feedback! My main concern was not knowing if it would work with my carrier after I do the ROM.
However the 3G network is a BIG deal 3G is soooo much faster than GSM. Is it even possible to manually setup the network afterwards?
Thanks again, you have been great!
you can always setup your 3G network manually afterwards. It's just a different rom version. It's like you install English version of Winxp on your PC instead of the German version. You can still setup your wireless connection for your PC.
Sine you are in Europe, I would suggest you use Dutty's WM6.1 Rom (The bluetooth has a bit of issue - not able to receive file transfer, but he's working on the RTM version with the fix). Dutty's rom is cooked based on the Vodafone rom (He's in England), so I would suppose there should be pre-set 3G setting for Germany as well.
