QTEK 8300 aku2 ROM found!

Here it is...
http://www.smartmobil.no/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=84
The thing is, I am afraid to try it because I'm not sure if it will install with English, and I don't read any other languages. Supposedly, the 8310 rom from the same site has a number of languages, including English, but I don't even have confirmation of that. Anyone willing to try and let us know?

ok, it works
well, I went ahead and tried it, and fortunately it works. default install is UK english, which I switched to US English so date/time/etc...are displayed in the manner to which I am accustomed.
The rom works beautifully. Reception blows away the SP5M rom, and something that I have never seen before...the EDGE icon works!

Re: ok, it works
I am about to install this ROM in my Qtek 8300, but first I want to know if it will give the choice of the SPANISH language. Can you check if this version has that option ?
Thank you.

spanish...
This ROM does have Spanish, but it is not listed as a 'language'. You have to select US English for language, and then under 'Locale', select spanish, Spanish, and whatever country you want (Argentina, Bolivia, Columbia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Equador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puero Rico, Uruguay, or Venezuela). Because it is not listed as a language, I am not sure if anything besides the date will come up in Spanish. Hope this helps.

Does this ROM have any advantages over the imate SP5m AKU2 rom? I'm currently using that rom but its still not quite "perfect"!

comparison w/ sp5m ROM
I tried the sp5m ROM on my qtek 8300. I didn't like it. I think that it has poor phone reception in weak areas, and the EDGE icon didn't work (not sure about connectivity because I don't actually use it yet). So, I think the qtek aku2 is better. It probably takes up more space because of all of the different languages, though.

I tried running the rom update but it always says "windows has encountered a problem..." and then closes quite quickly after it starts... is this because i have a non-brightpoint device? What should i do?
Aaagggh this is so annoying... can someone help please?

windows encountered problem...
This is not a brightpoint issue, if you used the ROM specified in the link. I installed on a unit purchased from MadMonkeyboys gadgets. Is your device app-unlocked and CID-unlocked?

dm251x, thanks for the ROM upgrade; it is much faster than the original and the SP5m ROM upgrade that I had installed previous to this one. The "E" works also.

Brightpoint? This rom is for daangard qteks, not brightpoint

Does anyone know if i can flash this firmware directly to my C600 with my JAMF dongle?
Thanks.
To answer my own question .. yes I can.

please help:Qtek8300 after Romupdate only in english,danish.
hello,
i udated my Qtek8300 with the rom from this link:
http://www.smartmobil.no/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=84
with the update i has nothing problems,...but THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS:
i can not working with english or other languages (norsk,france,ned,magyar,slovenish etc...)
i need: GERMAN- LANGUAGE
...please post a link or an uploadlink (i can`t use ftp..!) with the newest " QTEK8300 or iMate SP5m_AKU2-ROM" in german or WWE w. incl.german...
i´m found and downloaded a rom with this text:
200624819AKU2_8310_2090_253221_020900_Ship.exe
...but i dont now, is this rom for 8300 too and i have no language information..

I've updated my I-mate SP5m with Qtek 8300 and the phone is better than ever. I bought my phone second hand and the joystick has always been kinda fuc*ed up. The guy I bought it from did mention it, but it was getting more and more annoying. I had to push it hard especially downwards to get any reaction. And ofcourse I tought this was a hardware problem, I was even planning to have it repaired. But after changing to the Qtek firmware the joystick works just like it's supposed to. So if anyone else has problems with their I-mates, try changing the firmware.

I had the same problem on my QTEK 8300 with the Imate SP5M ROM update (from this site); joystick would "stick" on down push, had to push several times to get it to finally work; the latest QTEK ROM seems to fix that problem; it is faster overall; radio reception is better; and WiFi seems to connect faster also.

aku2 rom swedish
does anyone know of an aku2 rom in swedish?

mraxe, I installed this Qtek AKU2 ROM, and under Regional Settings, it has an option for Svenska (That is Swedish, isn't it?).

aku swedish
yes thats swedish
i wonder if just changing regional will make T9 work.
anyone know?

I changed the regional to Swedish, but T9 is still in English.

I upgrade for 8310. It works quite well but the shortcut hard button for contact and message change to IE and WM player. Any one help me to change to orignal. Thanks

HTC Tytn II Rom Flash

Hello!
After reading and reading the Wiki for flashing the ROM to my Tytn II, I think I am ready. I still have a few questions ...
I have chosen to use the MicroSD card route as that seems easier to me. I just bought my Tytn a couple of days ago so I have the WM6 Professional CE-OS 5.2.1620 Build 18125.0.4.2 ROM version 1.56.413.2 Radio Version 1.27.12.11 running. It is in Swedish and I want the language to be in English. Do I have to downgrade first in order to be able to flash the WWE version ... in effect flashing twice?
Also, when I dowload and rename the ROM image I want, do I put the whole thing on the formated MicroSD card?
I have never synced my phone with my PC so that shouldn't be a problem right?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Scarlet,
Without actually answering any of your questions (sorry...), just a comment: with a Swedish TyTN II you have a Swedish keyboard also, don't you? I'm not 100 percent sure that the WWE ROM supports the Swedish keyboard layout so once you finished flashing you will have to expect issues with this...

Hi Abubasim!
You are correct, my keyboard does have åäö swedish characters. I was thinking I could flash the WWE ROM and then use the Swedish CAB to fix the keyboard mapping ... eller hur?
Jag är inte saker. Förstår du vad jag menar?
Scarlet

Hej Scarlet,
Although I haven't tried it myself, it sounds like worth a try. Check with other Swedes (or Turnips ) in this forum or maybe even other TyTN II owners back home there in Sweden.
Yes, I understand "jag är inte saker", means literally "I am not things" if you skipped the umlaut over the a in saker on purpose (Jag är finsk själv, men med svenskt medborgarskap.)

Good morning!
I have written to a couple of swedes, but no help there ... boooo!
No you caught me, I missed an umlaut ... swedish is my second language, I am originally from sunny southern california .
I think I am going to go for it on my own. I have had this phone burning a whole in my pocket for days and I can't stand it!
Wish me luck!

Yes, good luck to you. Be careful and read the updating threads and the Wiki thoroughly before attempting. I messed up my previous phone, the i-mate JASJAM when attempting ROM flashing by using a microSD card (the phone crashed in the middle of the update and became a brick but luckily I got it repaired under warranty[!]) so I will not try this path with my new TyTN II until I see real benefit worth the risk.
BTW, you have the best profile photo I have seen on this site. Is that you?

I hear you. I gave up on the MicroSD method and am now trying to use the Kaiser CustomRUU to extract and install the nbh file. I think there is something wrong with the NBH file I am trying to you (or i did something wrong ). Either way, I downloaded it and put it in the same folder as the KaiserCustomRUU program but i get a file error once I run the utility?? I am looking for a new file now to try!
Yes, that is me ... thanks for the nice words. I seem to be the only chick around that is way to into technology and cell phones ... I'm always attempting some type of shananigans ....
I sent you a PM by the way!

Re: SD Flash
Personally I'd recommend just using the USB flash method since that's what the vast majority of us use without flaw. The overriding important thing would be to make sure you install HardSPLv1 (available from the stickies in Kaiser Upgrading) to keep from bricking your device should the flash fail for any reason.
As for the keyboard, a cab file, or Schaps Advanced Config v1.1, or a registry edit will work just fine. What you'll end up with after one of those three is your English device with a keyboard that inputs exactly what you see (Swedish characters too).
The one downside to this is the word completion...when you switch the keyboard's language you'll have to also install that languages' dictionary for word completion to work, and in your case that would mean Swedish word completion. Although It may be possible to link the English dictionary? I never tried it myself with the German Hermes I had...

Thanks so much for the suggestions guys! I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT AND GOT IT GOING!!!! Turns out I didn't unpack the ROM rar file first. I just downloaded and renamed it ... duh! Once i figured out to *unzip* the rar file using WinRAR, then I found the right file, renamed it and used the CustomRUU deal. ROM was changed along with the language in about 10 minutes. I used the CAB file also to fix my keyboard to still give me the right mapping for the swedish keyboard! I have been working on this phone for 2 LOOOONNG days and I finally figured it out.
Now I have to figure out why my internet is not working ... I'm trying to download my one free map from TOMTOM and i'm getting no love! I'll get it ... more reading to do!
Thanks so much for the support ...
Hugs and kisses!

Depending on what ROM you used its likely your settings are not proper for your provider (or do not exist at all). Personally I prefer the latter since all the "automatic" T-Mobile configurations only use the slow APN.
I recommend searching for settings for your provider and inputting them as necessary. Unless you're talking about Wi-Fi in which case you'll probably have to go under connection settings and specify that your network card connects to "The Internet" (it defaults to Work).

Thanks for the tip Quentin! I got the internet going now. My next project is my email ... i used IMAP before with push software, but looks like that is not available. I'm reading .... Are you guys using windows live to have push email functionality or just setting the phone to check every so often?

Having Similar Problems Changing Lang from German to English
Good Evening,
I am New and Not Certain if this is venue to pose a question regarding how and where the Information regarding the Link or ?? Change My Language on my Branded HTC TyTN II (Kaiser 130 ) from German to English. The Telephone is Swiss German and I do Not Read, Speak nor Understand the Language. I was however able to Unlock the Sim in the First Stage and then do a Hard Spl V1 and everything is Excellent. But now I am having a Delima in finding a reference point to change the German to English language. Would you direct me to where I am able to go regarding the Flash Rom in English.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
You may send me an Email at [email protected] regarding the Info.
Have a Happy New Year !!

Sorry, I didn't read all of your post - you've already got HardSPL but I'll leave the info in to helps anyone else if they need it..
Possibly not the correct place to post the question, but it was so politely written I can't resist answering
Most of the roms cooked in this forum are in English language (maybe all of them except some versions of Schaps). For someone new who wants a good stable rom without having to do too many customisations I'd recommend the full versions of Dutty's latest, Schaps 4.30 or Sleuth.
Don't forget to hard SPL before you flash any ROMS and also check which radio will work with which rom here. If you get stuck with HardSPL, DO NOT flash any roms until you get this sorted (rom flashing is easier than HardSPL).
Most importantly, READ, READ and READ again before trying anything until you become more familiar. Start with the WIKI which is the root of all knowledge.
Oh yes, welcome to the forum

Upgrading to WM6.

Hello everyone! First post in here, 3 month owner of a Treo750. I expect to hang around here for a long while, really interesting stuff going on around here. Hope I can learn a trick or two.
I have a Treo 750, unbranded and unlocked I believe. I'm in Costa Rica and all cellphones here are unlocked. I want to upgrade to WM6 and I've read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100 and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_Upgrade.
I'm just wondering a couple of things before making a move. First I wasn't able to upgrade using the update from the palm support site since the language in my phone is in spanish, (at least that was the error message I got). Here is the info I have from my phone:
Software Version: TREO750-1.16RWS
Hardware Version: A
Serial Number: PRGU08B7H087
Phone Number: my phone number
Firmware Version: 1.27.0b.03
IMEI: *****************
SA NO: 10017102
*If there is any information I shouldn't post just pm me and I'll edit it.
Now, a couple of questions:
-What is the SA No?
-Am I able to update to WM6? If it's in English way better! If so, just follow the instructions in those links?
-What about the info in my cell? I can just copy some docs from work from my SD card to my PC, but what about my contacts? That's something I would rather not have to redo. I know they are synced back automatically but this leads to my other question:
-Could there be any problem if I have WM5 right now, and the next sync happens with WM6?
Thank you very much for this, I've been looking forward for WM6 for some time now. BTW, since I'm not native English speaker, if you find any grammatical or spelling error just let me know, ok?

Helpp to change language
I give my TREO 750v with software 1.12-VFF to a friend of mine because he knows how to update to WM6, and he did, the problem he updated to French WM6, and I dont understand nothing about French, Is there a way to change to English? or I need to install another WM6 upgrade in English, and if so how I do?
I really need your help, and I know I was a dump because of these but I really need step by step guidance on how to solve this matter.
Thanks

Sharp EMONE S01SH problem!

Hello. I am a newbee and don't know very much about PDAs. (btw, sorry for my english)
A friend of mine bought a Sharp EMONE S01SH (EMobile) over a year ago, and, as it's a Japan PDA, the WM came in japanese. Too bad, this PDA was released only in Japan, making it difficult to search for things in the internet. Anyway, my friend didn't know that its impossible to put WM in another language, so he tried to translate (don't know how) the WM to another language and... bricked (I think) the PDA. After trying to fix it and not being able to do anything, he gave me it, thinking that I can do something.
Well, looks like the PDA stucks in boot process (EMOBILE logo) Question: how can I unbrick it? Anyone have this terminal and can pass me the original ROM? Can I install different ROM from another PDA? I can't connect the PDA to the PC using ActiveSync. Any help will be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

i know how to reboot the machine now but i wonder how can i change the system language? cannot read too much japanese

Original Dutch Vodafone ROM?

Hi there,
I have been stupid enough to start messing around with my Dutch HTC Magic, from Vodafone, without making a backup first. I bricked it but was able to get it going again, thanks to a link on this forum. I have loaded an original English HTC ROM.
Though both the camera app and the keyboard app are way better than those originally loaded on the phone, I am beginning to be really p.... off with having the dutch words I type be changed into english words and missing the speed benefit of the previous dutch predictive spell check.
Therefore I'd like to install the original Dutch ROM again.
Can anybody here direct me to somewhere where I can get my hands on the original Dutch Vodafone ROM?
Thanks in advance
Jan
