this afternoon i found an update on the swedish qtek site.
http://www.qtek.se/default.asp?nc=4484&id=127&element=0
wonder if it could be used by english speaking users? it says WWE, so i guess it is in english?
i'm uploading the unpacked installation folder to FTP now. maybe someone who knows his thing, could magic a .bat file with the correct checksum to change the carrier and language? [pinoo? ;-)]
the file is called: MA_Qtek(BrPt)_10600_116_10500_SHIP.zip
Hi there..
I will take a look... But my device is with PocketPcTechs at the moment... Getting 128MB RAM ... WOOOOOOOOOOOT
:lol:
Cheers
has anybody yet found out what the passwords for the rom files are?
btw, have the last ones (the imate rom for example) been cracked or did anyone blurt out the right keys?

A bad traduction :
Click on the links below in order to update your Qtek S100. Follows installationsguiden careful in order to few a correct updating.
ROM 1.06.116WWE
(updating from ROM 1.03.148WWE to ROM 1.06.116WWE)
The updating is only for Swedish sold Qtek S100 with software version 1.03.148WWE. In order to check which version you have pressures Start>Settings>System>Device information, you find the information on ExtROM version. If you try to update with another version of software can the to damage your Qtek S100.
The updating ROM 1.06.116WWE contains:
GSM-radio software
MMS client (2.0.0.20)
Caller IDS
Phone PAD Swedish T9
Updated Blåtandsmjukvara
Installationsguide ROM 1.06.116
actually it was pretty clear that qtek only offers their support to their respective customers. Nevertheless it should be quite possible to gain advantages out of an alien fw ;-)
...so it could not be used for I-mate JAM and other models.... :roll: If someone has updated the firmware pls report the "improvements"...
Regards,
Primoz
Yes and please send us (or push it on the FTP) the content of ExtROM.
Thanks !

Anyone upgraded yet?
Hi, has anybody yet tried out the new QTEK ROM 1.06? If so, could you be so kind to make a ROM image and put it onto the ftp? Guess that'll be way easier than finding out some passwords to change the update-files?
thank you!
Why couldnt this be installed on non-swedish qtek s100?
Seems like an normal english rom-update
Wonder what it is with the bluetooth.
Cause the stack that is installed now is way to slow.
We need the passwords so xda3nbftool can be used to change operator id. Then we get past the Country id error...
So if anybody know the passwords that would be nice...
it cant be used out-of-the-box because the upgrade tools checks for your device-id, the carrier-id (which must be the one of qtek), the language (which, as you've said would fit) and the rom versions.
Thus, at least the carrier id would be different which is enough for the upgrade prog to abort. So there are 2 work-arounds:
1.) using xda3nbf-tool which requires the rom-passwords to decode the rom, change the parameters which are checked and re-encode the rom. Unfortunately anybody knows the passwords yet
2.) do a rom backup of a succesfully upgraded qtek-device with the bootloader-method which gives you *one* file that contains all the radio, the ext-rom and the os rom. This file needs to be modified by a hex-editor (which actually means to replace the first 412 bytes from the qtek-backup with the first byte of your own backup) --> restore the edited file et voilà: it should work. Unfortunatly anybody has posted such a backup yet...
conclusion:
way 2) is easier (at least we dont need any passkeys) nevertheless we still need that backup...
regards,
André
sorry, my upload was broken... should be ok now. the file is called MA_Qtek(BrPt)_10600_116_10500_SHIP.zip and you can find it in the Magician folder on the xda-ftp. it's basically just the unpacked installer.
could anybody tell me how to write a proper .bat file, like the one pinoo did for the i-mate rom? i suppose i need to change the 0x20040522... numbers to stop the installer giving the "invalid checksum" error?
...and reading the last post these numbers seems to be the passwords Guest was talking about...
any chance of getting them?
Be careful with this ROM. I tried to install it and now my Compact is dead . I can't reflash it anymore even from SD card. Tried everything and now it is in service-center. They are triing to fix it but still with no success ((
BTW you can install Radio ROM without any passwords and xda3nbf. Just remove all other .nbf files from directory and run update - and everything is OK without any mistakes. Problems appears after other upgrades (nb and mk_).

Just upgraded my Imate Jam radio stack to this one and seems that it improved phone sound quality a lot or am I just hoping so ?!
However no problems with upgrading the radio stack only!

Hope you can solve your Magician problem. Which file did you use to upgrade your PPC: MA_Qtek(BrPt)_10600_116_10500_SHIP.exe or MA_DANG_WWE_10600_115_10500_SHIP.exe.
Thanks

Hi, just before I launch into my first post, just like to say this forum has been an amazing source of info, I'm a new MDA compact owner and have already unlocked it, upgraded to the 1.12 ROM and applied the bigstorage patch, wow, it was actually quite easy.
My question relates to MMS functions and since upgrading and modding, I am unable to send or receive MMS on my compact. I have installed the Orange conract CAB files and I can browse the internet etc, just when I receive an MMS I get the text message telling me to go to the website and view it.
Anyone any ideas ?
Hi, Do you have a SPV M500 ? Can you tell me how you did to update it with rom Qtek or Imate ? Please...

give orange cs a ring, your mms is not enabled on your account, i bet its a new contract/sim yep??
Nope, its not a new SIM/Account, it works perfectly in another handset such as a K750i or Nokia 6680.

Its not an M500, its an MDA compact, we dont have the M500 in the UK yet. I wouldnt mind a copy of your M500 ROM though
It was pretty easy, downloaded the Qtek 1.12 rom, installed it on my laptop and it extracted itself into a temporary directory. I couldnt install straight away due to the country error so I copied the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe into the directory where the files were and ran that. About 20 mins later I had a brand new 1.12 rom installed with the new ROM and new RADIO etc.
I backed up the ROM using the romupdate.exe tool to my 256MB SD card, read it from the card using ntrw.exe , used hexeditor to change the appropriate strings and re-wrote it back to the card using ntrw.
Hard reset with the card installed , two mins later it asked me to press power to flash and about 15 mins later job done
I had an MDA compact with the Qtek 1.12 rom and radio and the big storage hack. I then picked what I wanted to install from the original t-mobile extended rom and job done, all done in less than an hour.
Fixed it, had to install the mms application from the extended ROM , works ok now.
If anyone wants a copy of the patched ROM, let me know and I'll upload it onto my ftp.
hi,
Having just purchased my M500 today im a noob to all things magician and m500!
Looking around this interesting site i notice a lot of talk about big storage. Sorry if this question has been asked before, but what is big storage?
Lets say i di the big storage thing......would i then loose my current orange rom on my device?
Is it easy to do? I've updated the rom on my c500 and that was straight fwd, can sombody explaain to m500 noob, but is willing to learn!
luvin the site.
I have a m500, and i have changed the original rom (as suplied with the m500) to bigstorage.
It wipes out the hidden partion that is used to brand the phone and increases the "storage" partion (which as default is around 7mb) to 27mb, the only downside is that the branding apps that are hidden are no longer on your device.
This means that when you hard reset the device you will have to manualy choose the files to install.
Imp
Thats a great explanation, thanks.
I've been messing around so far, and i think i understand the whole process. Coudl you just confirm this for me?
I have downloaded the big storage rom WWE.111 from the ftp and swapped the first 416bytes in hex editor with the first 416bytes from my rom which i've got from my ohone. i then load the edited WWE.111 big storage rom back into my m500 using the sd card method. An that will give me a bigstorage rom?
could somebody post the extrom of the m500 please ?
thanks
M500 Rom upgrade
I have been trying to upgrade it to 1.12 ROM, however when I used ntrw to write it onto my SD card, it said parameter incorrect, then when I flash my M500, it said Check Sum error. Any remedy? Also has anyone tried the Radio 1.13?
EggZenBeanz, thats right. should give you bigstorage....remember to ignore the error messages on your phone after you copy the rom from your sd card.
Dutty, there is already the orange m500 ext rom on the ftp site.
vz7, they are the same errors that i got when i big rom'ed mine (even tho i am still on rom 1.06 (not worried in upgrading the rom as yet)
as i said in the other post, i upgraded to 1.13 radio rom last night with no problem.
EDIT
if anyone wants my desciption of the orange ext rom (what each cab files do) give us a shout. i went though them one by one and isntalled them, to see if i wanted them or not.
Imp
Thankyou for clearing these things up. As the post suggested im a noob to all this, so i wanted to get it clear in my mind on top of reading all the tuts i could find.
So, when the rom hack has been applied and is working. i get 25mb extra storage, and i should loose all the clearview stuff etc.. Thats cool cheers.

I wouldn't mind a discription of the cabs on the rom as im just about to "Go large".
I wouldn't mind a list of what each file does either - I'd thought about doing a big storage hack on my m500, but there wasn't anything available last time I checked.
Presumably I can copy all the files for the storage area onto my SD card, and save them for later?
Where abouts is the ROM on the ftp site? I couldn't see anything that specifically mentions the m500...
Edit - OK, I think I understand now...I found a useful guide that I followed.
The only problem is, I've only got a 1gb sd card, so the hex editor won't open the rom image after I've dumped it! Is there any way around this, or do I need to get 128mb card?
The file of the descriptions is a bit scruffy atm, i will tidy it up and post it again soon here. (scruffy file attached to this post, you need to be logged into the forums to dl'ed it)
the path to the m500 ext rom is ..... i cant connect to the ftp atm.
I backed up the ext rom on my desktop pc, and put the vital cabs on a sd card that i have spare and keep in my wallet, just incase the rom resets.
I had a similar problem to dan13l when i dumped the rom, the ntrw.exe app is a bit of a pig, as it dumps a image of the sd card, and not of the actual rom.... i used a 256mb card, i suppose you could partion the 1gig card to around 256mb then try it out?
something that i didnt read was, when performing the rom dump, is that the sd card will be fully erased during dump. So back it up if you need the data on it.
one word about one of the cabs in the ext rom, OrangeUK_ActionE_Connection.cab is a odd one. It encloses some apps that i didnt like installed on my m500 but it has the gprs settings inside it, i have managed to pull these out and put them in there own cab. This helps prevent installing the annoying "action" programs
Imp
Thanks for that Impossible.
I noticed you've mentioned another MMS version in that text file, is there an updated mms app somewhere?
I found the ext rom on the ftp - that'll come in handy I'm sure.
There appears to be three ways of applying the big storage hack:
1) Apply a rom with Big Storage already hacked into it. This involves copying the first chunk of the standard rom using a hex editor and pasting it over the new rom. Correct?
2) Manually edit two bits of hex on a dumped rom, and reflash using the modified version.
3) Run a tool against a dumped rom to make the changes for you.
Now, I was working towards 2 until I had my sd card problem. I'm going to buy a 256mb card on my way home tonight and try with that. Am I right in thinking that if I dump my m500's rom, then apply the hex changes, that rom could be used for all m500's? As I understand it, option 1 is only relevent if you're applying a rom from one device to another (so a Jam to an M500, for example)?
So, in theory, once one of us has managed to modify the m500 rom (as you've done already, Impossible) then that rom image could be uploaded and used on all m500's? Also, if someone uploads an unmodified m500 rom, that could be used to revert back later if needs be...
Is all this correct? I think I'm starting to get my head around things.
the comments in the cab file description are a bit funny, its my own personal scrall that i found out over the test i did on the cabs, i think i found newer vesions on the ftp and installed these apps instead of the ones that orange comes with, and the "about" on the app confirmed this.
I will revisit the file soon and tidy it up making it more helpful.
i dumped my m500 rom (with the intention of keeping the 1.06 version that came with my m500) then i used mksBigStoragerENG.exe to patch it to bigstorage.
If anyones intrested in me uploading the 1.06 rom with big storage i will, but you have to remember that this has not got any orange branding on. the next step if you did use this rom would be to apply the choosen cab files to apply the settings/apps you want.
Also, i dont mind uploading the original rom (complete with the ext rom) but i think that was on there when i last looked at the ftp.
dan13l, i did just realise, even if you formated your 1gig card to a smaller size, the dump will clear that out
prehaps you could find a different hex editor? or even use the mksBigStoragerENG.exe app that I used to patch mine, instead of a editor (which reverts the rom file from your storage card size, back down to its original size of around 62mb)
Imp
Yay! It worked
Now I just need to reinstall everything.
I'll post everything I did later, got to go and eat something now!
Impossible - thanks for your help. Do you have the GPRS settings you extracted? I don't want to have to install the whole action engine thing...
Thanks again all.
All sorted - I managed to extract the gprs settings myself and create a cab.
FYI - the latest MMS app I found was dated May, and doesn't appear to work on the m500. I've not tried the March version yet.
GPRS settings etc are available on buymobilephones.net

Noob alert
Is there a nice HTML guide which tells a muppet how to do this? How to keep any Orange apps copied somewhere else and re-install after the hack IF wanted? A list of the additional Orange apps and what they do?
Thanks.

can someone post the link to the orange extrom - i can't find the ftp....

Go to the link posted by sporkguy and download everything - that's the contents of your extended rom.
Next, go here: http://tinyurl.com/dhgoc
That's about the best guide I've found (although there are a couple of good ones on this site). Follow the steps on there to use the mksBigStorager executable to patch your rom.
I think it would be possible to upload a pre-patched rom image for the m500 to the ftp, and simply write that to an sd card (using the last section of the guide linked to above).
Please can you take a loo at this screen grab. What do i stand to gain from the storage hack? This piccy is pre storage hack.
As above, just follow the link Would've attached it but it kept failing to upload. If somebody could download and then attach to a reply, I'll link to it in this post

Worked fine for my 8310 running WM5. Your phone needs to be app unlocked.

working on my t-mobile sda running on qtek 8300 rom
excellent working on my i-mate sp5 storage card
It does work, I had forgotten that I just did a cold boot a couple days ago and did not appunlock from then. Thanks OP for the program.
It worked on mine ( for sure ), thanks for sharing it
Pocketword files?
Hi all, many thanks for sharing this, this is the only function I missed changing from wizard to tornado - much improvement over clearvue!
has anyone managed to get it to read pocketword .psw files?
OpenOffice will only convert its native sxw files to psw and I would really rather not have to change my default format change back to .doc
strangely, pocket exel files seem to work fine...
any help much appreciated
Robert
Hi!
Could someone please resend this file to RShare or upload here?
Many thanks,

Hi pal!!
These cabs are the result of didn´t formated RAM before upgrade to a cooked ROM, remember that all of original ROM's have a precharged extendedROM, cause you dont erase this extended ROM, it still loading in your new coocked ROM, this extendedROM is necessary in the original ROM for fixing probles and update functions but with the cooked ROM dont works and rest free memory.... Try this:
Format the RAM with mtty.exe, deactivate activesync usb connection and Put the uni in Bootloader before conect your UNI.
Open the mtty.exe and choose USB conection.
Put: task 28 55aa and enter
this will format your UNI's RAM,
Now your uni is Empty, you havent ROM and ExtROM, close the mtty.exe
Dont scare!!! and dont reset the uni, disconect the UNI and connect again,
Upgrade your prefered ROM and thats all. your UNI is free of garbage.
Hi
Thanks for your attention but I have my extended ROM unlocked ( thanks to
ranju's great work) and I can delete these files or simply format my extrom.
The question was that if I delete these files, am I going to have problems after
the next hard reset?
again thanks for your attention...
You will not run into problems at the next hardreset.
But anyway you can save the files somewhere and put them back if needed.
Thanks to all...
If anyone knows what are these files exactly, I will appreciate.
I can upload them if needed.
Thanks in advance..........
