Need Help with my Qtek S200. It is frozen!!

Ladies and Gents - Hi!
Dunno if you can help me but my Qtek S200 is freezing when it starts up. I have tried....Really. I have been through this forum to try to find solutions to my problems. The phone was a swisscom phone when i lived there and has additional Swisscom software on it. But when I did once hard reset, it had normal Qtek stuff on it. Anyways, that is for background purposes.
I got so far as follows trying to revive my phone.
a) When I switch on the following numbers come up:
"IPL 2.09.0001
SPL 2.09.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.9.7.24"
The screen then freezes!
b) I therefore tried a hard reset....Photo and Comm buttom depressed and a stylus reset. Phone says -
"Press send to restore factory default, Other keys to quit"
....which I do... I press the green send button.
Phone says -
"Formatting FAT partition Format is completed!!"
....again, up comes the same screen as mentioned in a with same numbers and all!
c) So - I press the photo button and the reset to get the red/green/blue screen.
Phone says -
"IPL 2.09.0001
SPL 2.09.0001"
I plug my cable into the computer and plug the cable into the phone. Bottom left hand corner says "USB".
At this point I suppose I should "flash" my phone. Cannot figure out how that is done or even what it means. Tried to find .exe files on the QTEK CD I got with the phone but there seems nothing I can flash the phone with.
This is as far as I can get. Wish I can revive the phone and if I can upgrade the OS software that would be just wonderful!
Please Help (In non technical language as I get lost in the jargon)
Thanks in advance for your replies!!!
Jim

Also, if I may add, the cd does not seem to have any 'system' software on it and will only let me repair damaged programs on my computer. CD is the microsoft Qtek CD with windows mobile 5.0 PPC Phone edition GSM w/outlook 2002. Is that what I need coz its the only cd that came with the phone.....
Thanks again!

Thanks Tony.
It seems to freeze after step B. 30 mins and it will not change. And it comes up with the swisscom welcome page..... just as though the format of the FAT never happenned.
Jim

So! just for the sake of it I tried again since my last post. Not a thing the phone was and remained frozen even after my format of the FAT. That is almost 2 hrs waiting.

Erm... this is where I become computer illiterate! Where do I find the upgrade and what exactly is flashing? Is it running an executable code when fone is in bootmode and it will do all itself?
Thanks

You dont need to flash up to WM6.... but this should help you to atleast flash up to aku2.2

just enter bootloader and run the exe...

So I guess a word of THANKS is Definitely in order. The phone is up and running again with the files and the help that you suggested.
I have stopped the swisscom autorun from installing the swiss stuff on it as I am wondering if it is all the additional software including tomtom and rail timetables, translation programs etc that are filling the memory, slowing the pda and basically crashing it!!!
Again.... a big thanks for your help and support! I had already written the fone off.

Hi, I’m trying to upgrade my universal to WM6. Suddenly connection lost. Usually, the screen turns to blanks and I can hard reset my Universal. Now, my screen totally blank, when I push the hard rest button, the screen turn to white with normal instruction to reset to default when I press “)” button. The problem is after I pushed “)” button, the screen turn back to blank again. Please help me, what should I do?? Help,help,help…

Try resetting the pda to its factory state (when you first purchased it). I think there are certain sections on here which allow you to download the factory ROM. If that fails, try downloading it from the xda website dedicated to o2 users. Do a search in goole for o2 xda Exec updated rom.
Once you have done all of that try re-installing the Rom that you are trying to update it with.
Should work. I sort of had the same problem before. You have to check your firmware too. Do a search on o2 xda exec firmware. I think some older firmwares do not allow you to upgrade.
Hope this helps.

Alternatively, do the following and this time, make sure the USB cable is plugged directly into the PC, and not through a hub.
Put the device into bootloader mode (hold the power and backlight buttons, and then push the reset pin) and you will see the screen say Serial, there will be no backlight, so don't worry. Plug it into your USB cable, and it should now say USB.
Wait about 10 seconds so your system can recognise, the device, and the run the update once more.
There's no need to flash back down to an earlier version provided the ROM image you downloaded is actually OK.

If you want serch my folder to download original O2 ROM

Hi user989, AlanJC and Optika. Thanks for your kind advise. Especially to AlanJC, I followed your instruction and now my XDA Exec back to normal again with WM6. Before I gave my XDA to O2 Service centre in Indonesia, they said that XDA Exec is for European market so the have no solution. Many thanks for all of you, may GOD bless you all.

need some help

hello,
I've tried to install skype ona my cingular 2125 and now it doesn't work.
the phone just stuck on .cab extractin screen and i restart it.now the only thing it show is the cingular startup screen and that's all.I have the cingular rom update uttility but it says that the device is not connected to the pc using usb,and ask me to check the connection.
what i can do about this issue?can anyone help me?
thank you in advance

Try turning off USB connection in activesync. With the phone turned off, if you hold the camera button when you plugin the usb to phone (already connected to PC), it should start up in the bootloader.
Other method to get the bootloader is to hold the camera and the comm manager button and turn on the phone.
You should be able to use the ROM update utility with the bootloader.
Look at Karhoe's guide in the stickies at the top of this forum...

Maybe hard reset will be enough ?
Turn off Your phone. Press and keep hold of both soft keys, press the power button for approximately 0.5 to 1 second, phone will ask U if U are sure, press 0.
hard reset is a lot safer than reflash...

i can't believe
thank you for all the advises but unfortunateli non of them helps.I've trie everything and it still shows cingular's wellcome screen and that is all.after that the only thing i can do is to remove the battery because nothing else work.I put the original rom from cingular and everything was OK with the setup, but after that -the same.I've tried with this hard reset- the same.probbably the nezt thing that i will do is to hit it into the ground )

Missunderstanding here
Our goal was making Your phone alife again.
None of mentionated procedures could help with some unknown to us bug in Your version of 3-rd party software

The latest skype works perfectly for me, in WM5 and WM6, since you are going to hard reset, why not perform a WM6 upgrade?

re
I was tried to reflash with the original aku2 rom from htc/cingular (the flash was successfull)but after that the phone is still not working.allways the same- cingular's startup screen and that's all.also try with hard reset with no success.I doubt that this phone will ever work again.or if there is another way to "clean" the whole memory?!is it possible to hardware reset the phone?

Format BINFS and reflash, that will clean everything except the IPL and SPL

3 days, still not installed hardspl

Guys,
3 days after my first attempt to flash a rom (beside the beatiful palms very long ago).
My first attempt stuck at 19%. After that I stuck in the three color screen. I thought it was a brick now. After searching the forum I could give my kaiser a second live through mtty and 2 commands. yeeh.
But after that every new attempt to flash the three color screen did not appear. When I forced a three color screen (through the camera button) I of course got a connection error.
I'm sure that I'm do something wrong, but I can't live (as a meaning, not for real )with the Idea I cannot put another rom on my kaiser.
I also tried jumpSPL.156, but that won't start on my device (complaining about certificates and or missing components, but in dutch language)
device information
vario iii
rom 1.56.114.4
date 9/1/07
radio 1.27.12.11
bootloader
KAIS130
SPL-3.03.0000
CPLD-8
Hope someone can tell me the right direction.
Regards
Chris Gradussen

from the jumpspl 1.56 thread:
jockyw2001 said:
Notes:
1. if when running a JumpSPL an error is shown try to application unlock your device first with SDA_ApplicationUnlock (you must run this on PC with an activesync connection via USB cable). If you still get errors you need to hard reset your device (power off, keep both left and right navigation keys pressed and power on)

HTC Touch Cruise/XDA Orbit2 - Hardreset/Rom Flash.....

Hi everybody,
i got a XDA Orbit 2 and today i tried to install SPB Phone Suite.
During install it asked for a Softreset, which i did...
After that i refused to boot and keeps hanging at the o2 Bootscreen.
It totally freezes, regardless if i pull any cable, remove the sd-card etc..
So i thought i'd a hardreset once again, but that one didnt work at all.
The Restore lasts maybe 10 secs (with and without sc-card), then asks for another boot and im again where i startet, the o2 bootscreen.
Any chance i get it working again?
Like somebody else recommended flashing it with either another rom or the original one, which i might d/l somewhere.
Then again, any Flash-HowTo starts with an ActiveSync Connection.
Since my Device wont boot at all, the ActiveSync Connection wont be established...
Any helpful Advise highly appreciated :-/
regards...

You should be able to manually put it into the boot loader. I'm not familiar with you phone so you will need to research that.
***Update**** Try this; "turn your phone on press and hold the two buttons on the upper left and right side from your naviwheel and press the resetbutton with your stylus"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366303

hrm, pressing the upper left/right buttons and reseting it doesnt do anything.
regarding google im the first human ever trying to get the htc touch cruise into bootloader mode.
i keep researching, thx for ur effort tho

Manually getting into the boot loader will allow to establish a link to your PC in order to re-flash. Like I said, I'm not familiar with your phone....

yup, i noticed some more users here own an Orbit2.
So i hope somebody is able to enlighten me, before i brake my fingers while trying to press all buttons same time and then somehow hit the reset button, hehe.

ok, i managed to get into bootloader.
some more detailed research helped me there, actually inside this board :-/
now lets see if HardSPL makes me happy.
tx again for ur time

I have an Orbit 2,
To Hard reset and delete everything from your phone and then let the rom reload everything back to factory settings, do the following.
1. Remove SD card
2. Hold down the 'Windows Icon' Button and the 'OK' button at the same time and keep them held in.
3. While still holding in the above 2 buttons, use the stylus and press the reset button in and then release it but you must still keep the 'Windows' button and the 'OK' button still in until you are prompted with a menu.
4. Once the menu appears: press 'Send' button to reset and reload rom or any other button to cancel.
I have done this procedure a few times now and is quite safe, especially after loading a crap piece of software that totally knackers up my Orbit 2.
I hope this helps you out........
Good luck

Tried that before and it worked out before also.
This Time the complete recover-process lasts only 10 seconds and then the Boot doesnt work anymore either.
Dunno why the hardreset aint working anymore.
Regarding the Flashing:
I managed to get into Bootloader and see the following Information:
POLA200
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2
Serial.
Then i plug in the USB-Cable and start the Update-Utility.
After following each step i get the following error:
Error 262: Update Error
Saying it has encountered communication Errors and asks me if i want to recover...
Im running VistaSP1, maybe thats a reason?

Try this for your Vista issue. It worked for me the first time. Although I don't know if SP1 has any effect.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27 This was for Hermes also....

Updating the USB-Driver didnt help .
Using a XP VirtualPC didnt work out either, hehe.
Ill try tomorrow on a XP Machine, thanks for ur time once more.
Im not that desperate anymore, hehe.

Damn, now im using a Windows XP Machine (incl. all Updates) with ActiveSync 4.5, and still get the [262] Update Error.
Seems its seriously damaged :-(

One Question:
Did you installl phone-suite on a cooked rom, or on the original o2 rom?
i got the same freezing problem on my touch with a cooked rom. with the original rom i got no problems.
