Question:USA ROM to be used in the Philippines (900/1800/3g) - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

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

s100/telia(sweden)/upgrading/gprs

clever as i am, i´ve upgraded my s100 with the latest rom from qtek, without reading everything. (and doing a bacup of old rom)
it says that if you got a telia locked phone you shouldent upgrade the rom.
becuse the telia locked phones have some settings needed for telia gprs/mms.
Well the gprs didn´t work befor upgrade and it dosent work now.
anyone have any clue to get 1.11.133 WWE rom to work with telia gprs ?
or does anyone have a telia original rom ?
TIA

Tried the gprs-file on www.qtek.se (the site is down for maintenance right now)?

PLS HELP! Vodafone V1240 Dead!

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...

Does GPRS work for you on WM6?

Ok, simple really, answer the poll and if GPRS DOES work for you post your EXACT radio version and network provider and IE connection settings as a reply below
Phil
Working after upgrading to radio version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01.
Ukrainian provider UMC.
hmm everything is clear now .
People with radio 4.1 have working GPRS (edge too? )
and with 4.0 not.
How do I upgrade my radio? Should I flash a rom with radio and then come back to WM6 or somehow separately?
Just flash a rom with radio after flashing WM6.
and then go back to WM6..? could you please point me to rom with right radio? and my device (SPV C600) is rather Qtek 8300 or 8310?
I'll package radio version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 with the update in about an hour.
Will update the first post when I've updated it
Phil
You mean a Tornado WM6 Rom with better radio? Cool!
will i have to do once more to format binfs via teraterm? and then run ruu?
You can actually just upgrade the radio ROM, it wont affect your WM6 OS
i don't have a radio rom
where we can get only radio rom?? because i don't want flash all ROM again

jm012a9749 said that it will be available in an hour
but i understand that he pack radio update with entire rom and i want only radio update
You can find it in this forum, search the Tornado thread, few pages back, I just searched for it yesterday. I am only afraid the link to the radio is down due to inactivity. Well, downloading a 30-40MB file which he packed wouldn't take that long right?
I'm posting an updated ROM with it which should address the Audio issues people are experiencing, also some cabs for T9, Comm manager, Task manager and clear storage. So it IS worth flashing the entire ROM again.
Phil
After update GPRS works ;]
my mobile operator is Orange Romania, radio version is 4.1.xx,and my gprs connection it's working.
I have the updated WM6 ROM with the updated Radio. Both GPRS and Edge is working. But sometimes it can not connect to GRPS and I have to restart all the radio components.
Works with:
Radio 4.1.13.28_02.61.01
KPN netherlands.
Working on Orange and TMob UK, albeit with the GPRS/Voicemail problems described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1381997&highlight=gprs#post1381997
can someone help me set up my gprs settings for o2. i dont know what my access points are etc.

Help with upgrading / ROM ...

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.

*whatever you do, do at your own risk, I just shared original materials and obviously will take no responsibilty​
I am sure many will appreciate this.
Question for you: Would the TELCEL MEXICO E900h one be compatible with the E900h on Canada's TELUS?
This is amazing, thank you so much!
DONT TRY THIS
I just did everything and the program gave me an error in the progress: ErrNum4008 RAM PROGRAM. That's all I got and now my device doesn't do anything anymore. I cant turn it on, nothing. Not even the Emergency download mode. I've seen bricked devices but this is far worse. I don't even get a splash screen or whatsoever, the phone is dead.
you can use this without any issue.
I was able to re-flash my device (initally locked by VF Spain) and I have the EU-OPEN FW and all process was ran fine.
Only one note, please disable the USB 2.0 on you computer and run the SW in compatibilty mode with XP and administrator Rights.
Thanks for the post.
me the same... succesfully flashed my mobile from Vodafone Italia to Telecom Italia Mobile.... just a question: EUROPE OPEN is an operator or a version without any kind of customization? Thanks))
have you had any issues with MMS after this process or using it on your chosen provider,
and one more question if i may,
did you have the bluetooth issues before you started this process and was it rectified
basicaly i have the bluetooth isuue as in it dont work at all( it did but it stoped)
and im wondering if this helped resofle that conflict or if i should just get it sent away from my provider ??
To solve the MMS issue you have to select the appropriate .xml file for your provider, that file contains provider specific-information for MMS, WAP and other stuffs.
Here it's how:
-Dial: ##634# :this will enable MFG, a secret app
-Press the "call" button
-Now the MFG icon is listed on the "programs list".
-On the MFG screen input this password: 277634#*# (translated is appmfg#*#) and press enter.
-Now you can access to many options, tests.....
Go under 7.Engineer Menu then under 6. Other Settings, then choose Set network profiles.
Here guess which one is the correct .xml file for your provider:
I have TIM Italia, so mine is _PROV_TIM_IT_222_01.xml yours should be there somewhere...
tap to select it, wait, then you are done!
Cause one of the guy tryed to flash with a FW of different than the original one, for now maybe it's better to flash with SAME NATIONALITY or EUROPE OPEN until we got better news
Remeber to everyone to disable screensaver, standby, antivirus and any open applications while flashing, if possible use a clean updated installation of Windows XP (because these software's runs better on XP)
Is there a way to start the program and then connect the phone and hope it gets recognised? Like some kind of button combination. I think I've tried them all but you never know. The thing that frustrates me the most is when I got the error I was still in the emergency mode so I could still try and flash another rom. But after I turned off the phone it didn't respond to anything anymore.
With the FW EUROPE OPEN you can install the "LG Configuration Tool" and fully use it to autoselect the provider or change it manually.
Also, you can use the MFG menu. But the MMS problem with this FW is solved.
thanks rider for the reply i probaly should of made my question clearer, but your reply was what i needed and the folowing replies are helpfull
maybe i should just give it a go and see if it fixes my bluetooth issue
there does not seem to be a vodaphone UK listed (is there actualy one) as this is what im on not sure if id be able to get it back to original
another Q what was the MMS issue
just be careful flashing because a memeber bricked his phone because flashed with a rom of a different country.... use another UK provder or (suggested) use EU OPEN and then customize settings the way I told u (mms, wap....)
we are not sure the brick was for the different country but while we have better news stay on your same countries or EU OPEN that should be valid for all countries.
Again, when you flash use the correct DLL, one is for the E900, the other for E900H, also roms are different so be careful.
When you flash shut down AV software, all the applications and if possible under Windows XP or at least in compatibility mode (personally I used Win7 x64 and no compatibility... but WinXP is better for this old programs....)
Nasirhned,OP
Sorrry if you have posted aboouth this [Q] else where
but i am curious as to your post about the firmwares for Optimus 7 is there one for VodaFone UK as i do not see one listed
any users that have questions about if this process fixes your Bluetooth issues i will reply with my results
Hi, I've added VODAFONE UK firmware, Please check again.
hi again!,
the MMS issue is that the not open devices, cannot configure 100% the mms apn settings and this function cannot be used.
With an open rom it is available to configure and use with any carrier.
Regards, and goog weekend!
That's not exact.
You can the same personalize the configuration of the mms with any firmware selection the appropriate XML file in the mfg menu!
The best thing anyway is to use the correct firmware for the correct provider unless you have really specific needs (you change different SIMs frequently)
Always charge the battery fully before any operation. If any error occurs while upgrading the phone will remain in Emergency Download Mode, DON'T PULL BATTERY AT THIS SITUATION, try update again.
Same problem we saw before on Samsung Omnia too.
Yes, in the MFG menu you can re-select the settings but for example in Spain, the device sold by Vodafone, is locked (or the xml is corrupt) for the Orange carrier, I had been notified that this happend to another carriers in another countries...
Regards,
Hi, could use a little advice if possible.
I'm planning to flash UK Vodafone to Europe Open (eventually to use with my O2 sim) via Windows 7 and have some questions:
1. Which USB driver to install: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497CA20 or LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20?
2. On windows 7, how exactly to I disable USB 2.0 and enable USB 1.1?
3. How to I actually download the firmware? Clicking the link on Europe Open either gives me a 403 or another strange page - obviously this one is a show stopper for me.
4. Where do I put the firmware and the dll - is it in C:\Windows?
5. When (if?) flashed successfully, will the nodo update mess it up and reinstall the Vodafone stuff or will this be a permanent Europe Open that can be updated by Zune as if it was the original firmware?
Sorry for the newbie questions but I like to be careful and I really need to do this as it's the only way of getting mms on my unlocked UK Vodafone.
Thanks in anticipation.
