Hi all,
i'm new to these flashing things, and i need some help.
my qtek 8300 has a quite old software version and i need to upgrade it since qtek says that they dont have new versions :| my rom version is 1.0.7.0
so i need a idiot proof guide to do this and a good room, i would prefer a rom without modifications, a default rom..
Many Thanks in advance..
Paulo F.
Login to qtek website, download the ROM, and install it, from the website, usually is one installer, just run it
hum.. that was the first thing i try..
problem is it says my imei is not from a brightpoint device.. so i'm not authorized.. the Portuguese's qtek says they don't have updates to me so i really need other way do do ir..
I have two magicians, and I read many posts about nonchangeable version 2.03TX.
I test it, and upgrade one unit. After upgrade really is not possible change any (OS or bootloader). Bootloader cant vrite itself or OS memory. I try all known techniques - SDboot, TTY (lnb, s2d d2s...) via USB, and standart os upgrade via PC (of cours, noID too).
So I have two magicians, then i use good tool from "itsme" called pmemdump.exe (thank you for your good job) and download OS images and bootloader images from my magicians. The reason is:
I dont say when, and/or why, but in some magiciansThe 2.03TX destroy bootloader!!
In my flashed magician is destroyed (nulled) area from 0x10000 to 0x10080.
I attach good (before upgrade) and destroyed (after upgrade) bootloader for comparsion
Maybee if "itsme" (or anybody other? ) create new version of pnewbootloader.exe compatible with version 2.03TX (because under this version OS it not working) then tens of magicians with flashed 2.03TX will be upgradeable again . (I can send any dump if it will be need, or try apply new version on my magicians).
hi mate, i 've had installed 2.03tx and 1.13 radio on my qtek s100 for about one year...
i've had no problem in downgrading radio to 1.12 and flashing device with cotulla rom,
the only problem is that cotulla rom does not support samsung touchscreen
my bootloader is 1.02
the only trick to update i've used is to keep activesync loaded with "allow usb connection" unchecked in settings. then it worked like a charm...
I try it too with unchecked "allow USB connection" in AS (and i have XP). By me (and many others) the problem is owerwrited bootloader. You can see attached files and compare it, you will be see...
You are right, many problems with flashing is between chair and keyboard But not now.
You have the same version of bootloader like me, then probably in version of bootloader its not. I have originally T-mobile MDA compact.
Can you send me dump of your bootloader for compare?
Sorry for my bad english, i am from Czech.
yes mate no problem, link me to a guide for bootloader dumping, i've nevere done it...
ps: good luck for yours magician
Hi Shelver,
I have 2.03TX in only one magician. The second unit is powered by Cotulla WWE_03 now
Download and unzip this: http://www.nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20090515.zip
Connect and synchronize via AS your magician, stay connected (this util working via Active Sync) and in comand line (IN win XP of course, in vista its not guaranted) go to your unzipped directory and write this (without commas):
"pmemdump 0x80000000 0x00040000 boot.bin"
and wait few seconds to done.
It read flash from address 0x80000000 to 0x80040000 (lenght 0x40000) and store dump to file "boot.bin" Its bootloader area. Then you can send me it, compare with my posted bootloaders...

Me 2, upgraded from tx203 to Cotulla's rom and back for some SMS backup and then upgraded to Cotulla's rom again.
I think I can go as many times as I wish with my magician.

You are lucky man I try it only one time, and bootloader is broken.
I have magicians only as toys, then, if it will be problem for me, then i repair bootloader via JTAG I only try 2.03TX, and try search some help for unlucky mans, who havent JTAG Now i have one broken, and one OK. But with Samsung LCD R3 . Maybee, i change display, or upgrade it to 128MB RAM for try _R1
I am HW developer, so HW problems is easy for me I create car multimedia PC on OMAP3530 platform now for my friends. Its better toy for me, magician is lovely history Only SW is hard to write to me

OK, Ill wait. I dont need it really, i have stored good copy of bootloader, i need it only for compare
And if you wish, you can flash cotulla WWE_03 ROM (you can directly from _04 to _03 say Cotulla) In this version touchscreen driver worked fine.

I think that the answer is pretty obvious..........first of all " you bought a loox 560. Pretty cool in 2006 but............
Secondly , I don't think a WM 6 upgrade was ever released for that phone. Any WM 6.0 upgrades you find here will not work because upgrades are very device specific.
Lastly, that phone is not supported on this site, so any help will be minimal and generic or not forthcoming at all.
hi.i have F900 acer upgraded to version wm 6.5.i can not return to the original firmware because the upgrade is not completed and writes the "OS does not display complete".I have done on other occasions this procedure can not do that now.I tried to do everything, reloading the system works only if wm 6.5 on board, ut I can not do a hard reset.chi can help me can you give me a back up of F900? or give me a just procedure?help me please
Hi..
I m the latest user to get into upgrading.. I have had a JAMin since March 2006 but never thot of updating it till now... (kinda sounds lame bt been bz with other stuff) .. anyhow.. I have some how managed to achieve the following in the past 5 days...
Ugrade my SPL from 1.0.0.0 to 2.13.x.x
Upgrade my SPL from 2.13.x to 2.20.x
Upgrade my WM 5 to WM 6 (by PDAVIET 4.0.0.3a)
Now I m stuck at this coz i apparently wanted to update my Jamin to Windows Mobile 6.5 and i really seem to like the roms by PDAVIET.. I have downloaded many 6.5 roms (e.g. bikertbi) but once i download the file and unzip it... i m left with 2 files namely.. prophet 6 and nk.nbf
now the problem comes as i try to install using prophet 6 tool.. (p.s. i have windows 7 and xp virtual machine installed which work quite brilliantly to upgrade/update my jamin rom ) the system tries to do hardspl and my jamin goes white.. and when it starts the flashing tool ... the RUU cannot find my pda ... then i switch to updating the rom using the RUU_NV_G3 update facility (my pda is G3).. and i can install the rom .. but after installing the pda restarts and its stuck in bootloader screen (3 colors) ..then i have to revert back to wm 5 (stable one) now i have done this abt 7 times and still the same screen shows up..
what i did like abt pdaviet rom was the installing tool which did wonderfully well.. (upgrade.bat file) and now i have been searching this forum (or at least trying to locate) for the windows mobile 6.5 rom by PDAVIET for JAMin/Prophet but i m unable to do so..
so i need help in installing the bikertibi rom or pls provide the download link for pdaviet wm 6.5 rom for jamin/prophet.
thnks
