Qtek S100 Rom upgrade ?

Hi,
This is my first post (newbie), I've just got a new Qtek S100 on 02 UK contract, I'm having problems getting TomTom5 to work with BT-77 Gps receiver, :? I think it may have something to do with the Rom version, my current Rom details are:
Rom Ver 1.06.00 WWE
Rom Date 01/06/05
Radio Ver 1.05.00
Protocol 1337.39
Ext Rom 1.06.115 WWE
I've been looking around the forums and getting a bit confused as to which Rom Ver I should upgrade to, would I be correct in assuming I should use the WWE_11100_129_111000.exe?
Any help from the experts much appreciated.
Also would the "SD card ROM backup/update method" be the best way to carry out the upgrade or are there any other methods? :roll:
Thanks in advance
Ian

I found the download link for the UK 1.12.00, all OK now Bluetooth working a treat, straight forward upgrade about 20 mins all done.

And where is this link to the 1.12?
Do you have the GPRS problems with this ROM?

Try looking...
Do a search of the forums and you should find it or you could try looking on the ftp. :idea:
And no I don't have any problems, but thank you for asking :wink:

Could be another good place to look though......

Buymobilephones.net is where I got my S100 from and I installed this ROM about 3 weeks ago.
This is the one that is being talked about in the other posts with having the GPRS connection problems. Managed to get mine working yesterday by following the instructions in the other posts. I understand 1.12 fixes a lot of BT problems and also the reception is better so I didn't want to go backwards instead try and find a solution to the GPRS problems.
Hope you're not having the same problems,

Upgrade questions (I have read old posts :)

Hi,
I went through a lot of old posts, but still have some confusions that hopefully you guys can help me out.
I just brought a used imate jam 900/1800/1900 last week. It's running ROM version 1.03.00 WWE Radio version 1.01.00 ExtROM version 1.03.141 WWE. I wanted to upgrade the firmware but i don't have access to imate.com. The guy who sold me the phone had already registered the IMEI # and I'm having problems contacting him.
I have some questions regarding the upgrades.
1) I checked the xda ftp site for new ROMS under Magician/Shipped ROMs folder, but i'm not sure if the ROMs are brand specific. (Imate/Qtek/Mini?) Is there any listing of the different shipped versions of the ROM. (I have seen something like that on a wiki page for Blueangel, but cannot find one for the magician) Does it matter if the phone band is 900 or 850 when you apply the ROMs?
2) If I don't want to go through the patching of the ROM (Since i'm still new to it), is it true that if i find the right brand/version of the shipped rom update that i can just run the upgrade exe file to flash the ROM and I'll be fine?
3) I read a lot of old post regarding backup/upgrade. It seems to be that the d2s command without supplying the address will only backup the ROM but not the ExtROM or Radio. Does anyone know what the correct series of commands to backup everything? The ones that i saw seems to be XDA II specific, and i thought the Magician has a different ROM layout (I saw it somewhere on the wiki page)
4) In general, any things to watch out for while doing the upgrades? What is the most stable version so far? I have heard that 1.11 is more stable than 1.12.
Thanks a lot guys. I can't wait to upgrade my phone b/c i'm deferring all my installs until after the upgrade so i'm using it purely as a phone now but still liking it.

Which ROM to use? (I've read tons of old post)

I have read a bunch of post on this but still not finding the answers. So, please forgive me if this is a repeat question.
I browsed thru the ftp site (under the Magician folder), but not sure of which ROM to download since there are so many of them and not sure of which is the most stable version (O2, i-mate, qtek, MDA?).
I have the O2 XDA II mini with the following version:
- ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE.
- ROM date: 11/01/04
- Radio version: 1.01.00
- Protocol version: 1337.38
- ExtROM version: 1.03.166 WWE
Or, should I use the one that I downloaded from seeo2.com site: the filename is:
ma_o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship.exe?
Also, when I update the ROM, would it lock my phone? I bought the phone in USA so I assume the phone is unlock.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
William

I'd use the Qtek S100 1.11 ROM (it's what i use now) as it's completely stable (1.12 seems not to be..) and then apply bigstorage to it..

How about the O2 ROM? I'd like to stay with O2 ROM (instead of using the Imate or Qtek ROM). Could anybody point me to the correct ROM to use? I browsed around the ftp but there are so many of them (extrom, bigstorage, modified, shipped). Thanks for the help!

The O2 ROM on their website was put up in May and is v1.11 and it's working OK for me.

I bought a T-Mobile Compact, and someone had loaded the I-Mate 1.11 ROM on there. I kept having a problem wth the GPRS failing to connect. I then upgraded to the 1.12 ROM, and it was even worse. I kept the 1.12 radio, and then downgraded to the basic 1.06 ROM. It is stable, and honestly, I don't see what the differences are besides now I can connect to GPRS whenever I want.
I also applied the bigstorage hack, and only applied the basic extended ROM cab files from 1.12 and the bluetooth patch from 1.06. I received my Compact last week, and applied 1.06 yesterday. So far, no issues have cropped up. Man, this Compact is so much less buggy than my MDAIII. The MDAIII was so feature packed, but had sooo many problems.
Hope that helps.

plz, give me a link to O2 1.11eng, i cannot log to o2 as my iemi belongs to imate, thanks

I just tried to link it for you but it does not work and asks for a login name and password.

U.S. user, get UK rom?

I'm from U.S. using the o2 xda mini, im about to upgrade my rom.. i dont see a u.s. version.. so do i just download the UK version at
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/UK_11200_131_11210_ship.exe
?

You can, sure. Just set the region to English (US) at some point.

Yze,
Have you got a WWE rom? If not don't forget to visit the WIKI (top right link on this page) & go to the magician section. There's a lot of info, including rom upgrading, overthere.

i have an o2 xda mini
ROM version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/14/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.11.922 WWE
I'm a newb.. hehe.. just got my first pda pocket pc the other day and I've been here reading a lot.. sorry if my questions seem dumb
im following the wiki and also the HOWTO post/package that was posted.. just wanted to make sure im gettin the right file..
so UK it is i suppose

You can put every language version on your device with maupgradeut_noid, but make a backup of the ext-rom cabs first as they contain your US operator settings!
The howto explains how it's technically to be done. You know that by now ;-)

FYI O2 does not have a local office here in the US ... for all of the guys who use any O2 mobile device, you should know which version of the device you get (whether UK, DE, IE, Asia, et al) so you would get the right ROM for you.
in another note, you can actually use any ROM which is readily available in this site, though you need to tweak it a little for the settings of your device ...
enjoy!

I upgraded to the UK version, so it works. Ugly colors though, I ended up going to the latest IMATE JAM version instead.

Which ROM is newer?

Hello from australia guys!
I have a JAMin, with this version ROM:
ROM: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Radio: 1_02.20.21
ExtROM: 2.13.9.122
Just wondering if this one is newer : JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip
Cheers
Chris

Oh, and the rom i have installed currently is a imate rom, designed for australian customers

the one you have is
I have a JAMin, with this version ROM:
ROM: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Radio: 1_02.20.21
ExtROM: 2.13.9.122
the one your asking about is
ROM: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Radio: 1_02.20.21
ExtROM: 2.13.9.123
so almost exactly the same exept the extROM is a bit newer.
I don't have any inside info but I'm kinda expecting a new rom from imate for Jamin, there are updates floating around.

thanks for the reply, does the newer ext rom mean anything
cheers
chris

I have the last version but upgraded from the shipping vesion so I could activate the a2dp .
i have fiddled a bit but have not broken it.
I am now not too keen to play as it takes a bit to restore my settings/ programmes etc.
I haven't looked here for a while and nothing seems to have changed much

Have you managed to get A2DP working with the latest ROM from the i-mate website (the one question starting this thread was about)? As you rightly point out it is a bit of a hassle to do the flash, and I don't think I can be bothered untill the upgrade includes A2DP... Cheers

If you mean this one then yes
ROM: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Radio: 1_02.20.21
ExtROM: 2.13.9.123 edit :changed the last digit
I was not aware there is any later version and I just checked the imate FTP site to confirm this.

AFAIK, the newest ROM is a Dopod ROM 215 available at the XDA ftp site. Like you, I didn't want to reinstall apps and re-setup all settings, so I just did this radio ROM upgrade which is also at the XDA ftp site, it doesn't require a hard reset, it just changes the radio ROM. PDAMobiz_Prophet_G3_RadioRom_v2.30.21.exe.
There is a G4 version, if that applies to you.
