Hi,
I tried to upgrade my Qtek S200 with the newest ROM release from PdaMobiz (the 16M pooling page one), but encountered some problems...
It's a Portuguese TMN Qtek (or at least it displays the operator logo when started), although the software is in English.
IPL is 2.09 and SPL is 2.15...
However, after upgrading it, it kept displaying the Operator logo with IPL and SPL, and freezed, so it never worked. When I tried to revert it, I wasn't able to do it, because every time I try to install a different ROM (all of them for the G3 device) it just installs the new ROM, and then goes to that screen and freezes...
It never gave me any error during the upgrading/downgrading, because when it checks the version of the ROM, it displays no information, so it just says that is going to replace the inexistant version with the new one...
Is there a step a missed (I didn't put it in bootloader mode before doing the first upgrade, but I had already done that before with other ROMs and it worked fine...)?
Now I'm stuck without knowing if I should have done an unlock CID before upgrading it, or if there is another steped I missed... Please help me out...
Thanks in advance,
Nuno
Tried this?
Read this in one of the threads and it solved his problem:
Extract the rom file you are using to flash your phone, to a folder on your pc, than Extract the file i attached ("ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.zip") into this folder. than connect your phone to pc and double click on "ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.exe".
I personally have not tried it, but I downloaded the prog just in case, Hope it helps.
Now it gives me an error...
Hi,
Just tried what you advised, but now it jusk keeps giving me the error 208, which is supposed to happen because I have other programs open on my computer... Tried rebooting, closing most aplications with task manager, and still it doesn't work.
Also tried to downgrade to lower ROM upgrade, but it gives me the error that I can't downgrade, only upgrade...
When I upgrade it with AKU 2.3, it goes all the way through the upgrade, and then when it reboots, it just keeps giving me the operator logo screen with the version info on the display.
If I try to reboot to bootloader mode, I'm not able, the only way to do it is by removing the battery...
I'm probably still doing something I shouldn't... It should be able to work the downgrade utility...
Anyone can help?
Thanks,
Nuno
Try this rom:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip
It shoud be ok.
If your prophet has spl end up with 2.xx.0001 check at
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Prophet/
find out the rom which can solve for SPL 2.xx.0001.
Good luck
Thanks Chan! Problem solved!
I was starting to review all my steps ir order to see what I could have done wrong...
Would you advise me to upgrade now to the PDAMobiz latest ROM (the one with the biggest pooling page)?
Thanks again.
Nuno
1. Unlock cid
Since your prophet spl is 2.15, you have to follow this step.
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=437
From file you can get from ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Prophet/
Your PC has to connect to network or internet (to have ip address), becuase in that script use ping command for delay 4 seconds.
It's just downgrade and unlock cid.
You may verify if cid unlocked, by backup rom to sd card. (use romupdate.exe with r2sd all command, check at wiki)
2. Upgrade to official rom
ftp://xda:[email protected]_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip
3. Upgade to pdamobiz, I suggest you to upgrade 12 Mb pagepool version. (even 8 mb version is ok). Because 16 mb has smallest ram space.
Good luck
All solved!
Again,
Thank you very much for your help!
After some tries, upgrading, downgrading, upgrading again, etc, I finally got it, so now its running the PDAMobiz version, which by the way, seems great so far!
Next time I'll come to you directly and then try to make things on my own...
Thanks again!

Hello, I installed Smart1 Clear ROM, and it worked fine on my G3. Then I came up with an idea to try Nghinhia ROM, but when i flashed the ROM i forgot to upgrade, or downgrade IPL and SPL.
When Im starting up my phone it gets stuck where the IPL and SPL information is standing.
So, I went to Bootloader, were I'm trying to flash a new ROM trough USB, but when I'm connecting the USB the PC syas that there is no "driver" for the USB.
My IPL/SPL is : 2.10
Can someone learn me how to flash a ROM so I can get my phone to work again? Thanks!
i just faced this problem by upgrade it from Smart1 to Nga..
i had to return to original odl Qtek ROM with installer EXE program.
enter bootloader and install the old stable version.
Just from bootloader? And EXE program? Can you upload the program? I really need to get my s200 working!
Thanks!
download this ROM http://www.nurbil.net/destek/TurkcellPDA_NEW_ROM.zip
then enter bootloader mode (press camera + reset)
and run exe. all this.
Ok, I'll try
I run the program and everything, but it says that I havent connected the phone, but i have
are you in bootloader mode ?
RGB screen with IPL/SPL info ?
Yees, i've nearly made it. But it says that i should check the update utilities!
What does that mean?
Im in bootloader
forget it and click next.
if next is not available then restart your computer and re-try.
I've started the computer off and on. Then i tried, its the same, it says : Invalid Vender ID. Please check your Update Utility..
Whats wrong?
so you should look for NOID installer.
Whats that? Can install it from bootloader?
download a different RomUpdateUtility from the forum. check ftp you will find something useful.
Im not very good at this, can you find the link for me?
http://www.uploading.com/files/4XQ0LCGI/RUU_Blank.rar.html
extract the original exe in a folder and go RUU_TOOLS\PROPHET\WWE and . copy these new files in this folder. then run romupdateutility.exe
and this time if the same message exist then definetely you must find NOID rom installer. check forum.
What? Is this for G4? And what did you ment with the location? Nothing is called that..
???? Anyone no?
Press dump on the phone and press the button of the camera should the picture with three colors (as we it name a matress), connect the phone to usb then will appear and establish Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID and then any stable version
Okey, were can I download that? What am I suppose to do when there is coming up: Please check ROM update Utilities?
What do I have to do with the phone to work then?
Please please please, sum 1 here can be kind enuf 2 help with my problem.After installing wm5 finding lots of issues tried to downgrade to 2003se and now stuck woth spl 2.5.0105, no os and only bootloader with no iu mode. i tried mtty but give error not allow operation!! and try to typhoonnbftools but says no immediate flash available. I also try to use ruu patched 1010064 spl / 1.01.0109 but to no avail. I am DESPERATE for a solution to this as I just need my phone workin again. I also try to use psdwrite but dont know/understand proper commands as I have official ROM from imate site and would like to know if possible to load this onto SD card or sumthn?
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...

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem and I need urgent help please. I have ATT 750 unlocked and I'm outside the States now. My Treo was 6.0 then I upgrade it to 6.1 so far so good.
Then I saw a custom rom that I thought it was interesting. the custom rom was for HTC Dimond I think. without paying too much attention. I started the upgrade. It went 70% before the upgrade crashed.
Now my Treo is not responding to anything. I have the original ATT 6.0 SD upgrade and I have the 6.1 lite upgrade. I'm using CheetahUnlocker to flash the SPL (that is working) but when I try to install the 6.0 or 6.1 using Kaiser Custom RUU v1 it crash.
I saw the post above that suggest to place the original 6.0 on a freshly formated SD and install from there. that is not working either. when I try to install the software it goes into these steps before it crashes: btw, I have the tri-color bar and it has the following info:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
SPL-1.40.01iNex
while update in progress i see the following:
CHEEIMG.nbh
SPLASH1 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - Fail
OS -
After the crash I get this msg: "Update Terminate Update Failed"
Any suggestion please? need more info? then let me know
You may have corrupted your DOC, you may need to use mtty to reformat it. Do some searching on how to do it.
Or try to use T750URT.exe to restore it, it comes with the Treo desktop updater.

Hey guys,
After I flashed a WM6.5 costum ROM in my treo750 it works fine...until 4 hour after...the display just stay black. It´s on, but black!!
I´ve tryed reset, hard reset and force to reflashed to an original WM5.0 without success.
Does anyone know what is happening with my phone??
Thanks
Hi,
Noob here.
I have just discovered this site and have spent the last couple of hours wiki-ing my way through the flashing process. However I have several questions that I couldn't find answers for.
1) I wish to upgrade my WM5 G4 prophet to WM6.5_23635 by Babak00000.
Can I upgrade from WM5 to 6.5 or do I need to go to 6.1 and then up to 6.5?
2) Do I need to CID unlock if my phone isn't locked to a carrier?
If someone could outline the programs (in order) and maybe the process to go from WM5 to 6.5 that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Hello There!
I'm also quite new to this, but i have managed to install wm6.5 so i think i can help you!
1. No! I am pretty shure you can upgrade from the original rom to any other ROM you want without any steps in between!
2. I have not done any CID unlock and everythin worked fine!
... The Process is actually very easy! I took a ROM from bikertibi but I also downloaded one of babak00000 and it has the same filestructure... just execute the "prophet_upgrade.exe", then select G3 or G4 (DONT mess this up) and if you have Vista or W7 just check the Vista Checkbox, and please check the HardSPL!
Now press start and you don't have to do anymore than clicking "next" all the time
It's that easy
... I hope I didn't tell any bull****, but this is how it worked for me!! Good Luck!!!
Yeah, that's exactly how it worked on my S200, too
