Hello there.
I have a Dutch M600 (all the text is in Dutch) and it is quite, well, cumbersome. Is it possible to reflash it with some default (non-branded) let's say QTek S200 English ROM? I'm quite new to this and I do not know if the fact it was sold as custom-branded will make any problems.
If it is possible, give me some pointers (thread links, etc.) I searched but I didn't find this specific case to be touched. Thanks in advance.
Cheers

From what I understand the M600 is just a HTC Prophet, so yes you can flash a standard Qtek s200 WWE like this (the last official Qtek release) ftp://xda:[email protected]_S200_2.20.7.34_2.47.21_2.20.7.114_WWE.zip
As you're going from dutch to english you need to use the novendor romupdate utility ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Prophet/Tools/ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.zip or another option is to CID unlock your M600 (for now only possible on G3 devices) It's all pretty simple, use search and read the forum and it will get you there.
In case of doubts, just ask, succes marl

Thank you , mate!
Your answer is exactly what I was hoping for. Until now I'm using M500 and because it has WWE F/W i wasn't interested in all these technical terms. Could you tell me what does it mean CID, AKU, and the other abbreviations that one can see here on the forum? How can I discover whether my Prophet is G3 or G4?
Cheers
one more thing. how can I make a backup so i can revert to the original ROM? just in case i need to get it repaired or i want to sell it. is it possible?
cheers

CID= Country ID (basicly it's prrotection so you can't use other firmware then the one your provider supplied) G3 device can be CID unlocked easly, G4 devices not. Check the last digits your bootscreen, if you see x.xx.000 it's G3, if you see x.xx.001 it's G4)
AKU= Adaption Kit Upgrade= Upgrades to the OS, provides fixes and new features (Like pushmail for example). Check out this URL http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/articles/wm-aku-en.shtml

CID unlocked devices you can backup to SD using terminal software over USB, use search on the forum. CID locked devices are a different story, but the XDA ftp contains most orginal vendor firmware. Most of the time restoring is not really an issue. Keep in mind that you can not downgrade IPL/SPL once you upgrade. You can downgrade the Extrom, OS and Radio without touching the IPL/SPL so this is normaly no issue.

Hi,
I am expecting my German XDA in the mail in the next few days.
I have been reading this forum for the past 2 weeks, and have tried to wade through all the great advice to educate myself on ROM upgrading issues. I would like to clarify that I understand this properly.
As I understand, in order to render my new XDA "O2-free" and customizable, not to mention english, I need to install a new ROM - probably the latest Imate ROM or maybe the PDAMobiz ROM.
Before I do this, should I Unlock the CID? From my reding, this will allow me to the install any ROM.
Is this an accurate understanding of everything involved?
Are there other better options to achieve my goal of a non-branded non-operator specific Jamin/Neo?
Is there a way to save my original German O2 ROM if it became necessary to return the unit for service?
I hope people do not object to thsi post. I know that it can be irritating when newbies post on topics which have already been discussed thoroughly. I have spent at least 2 weeks trying to educate myself on the procedures, and really would just like if some knowledgeable contributor could reassure me that I have not missed something obviuos.
Thanks,
Ronan

I'm still updating the page, but its working fine for my dutch s200 (now english dopod rom)
Hi,
I tried to follow the steps as outlined, but when I get to teh first soft reset, the device locks, and I can do nothing with it!
Please tell me how to fix it. Can I use bootloader?
How?
Thanks,
Ronan
Crisis averted!
Got into bootloader and installed the dopod rom.

please, read this topic and tell me what you think about it...

I entered bootloader then used the Dopod ROM with the modified romupdateutility.
I have not tried anything else.
Does anyone know of a solution for us SPL 2.15.0001 users? We seem to be very restricted in options.

Please, can you write the links where it is possible to download this rom and all the necessary files?

Thanks dears,
I have updated it with Dopod rom......but now....how can I update to I-mate JAMin (italian) rom?
Does someone have an Idea to how do it?
Thanks, thanks, thanks
Daniele
Yes, you have to go to ftp.clubimate.com there you can find the JAMin ROM's and also you can choose the language you want.
As you know, first, you must CID unlock, then you can download your favorite ROM. Tell us your opinon after install it.
Hi everyone. i know this has been hashed and rehashed but searching for it doesnt help and i cant find a solution for this:
i have a french orange spv m600 (just sim unlocked it, thanks lokiwiz!).
unfortunately it is in french and i would like it to be in english (basically english orange rom).
i have
IPL: 2.10.0001
SPL:2.10.0001
Radio Rom:02.07.20
OS:02.10.1.30
its not cid unlocked and since i think its a g4 chip, im very hesitant - i dont want to end up with a break - have no customer support to send to. i dont need a lot of functions.
by any chance anyone has a wwe orange rom around? would that work without cid unlocking?
thanks a lot for helping...
if anyone would like a dump of this french rom, let me know, with instructions how to do it, and ill help you out guys as well...
Thanks a lot for helping
Just take the no vendor id dopod rom wwe from the ftp. It worked great on my G4 SPV M 600. It has also been french.
you have a link?things get moved around very easily on that ftp thanks !
no thats fine, got it
question: how good is it?does it remove the cid unlock so that u can upgrade again afterwards?
what does this rom contain?

if i were you, i should take the new Qtek Rom:
ftp://[email protected]/Up...rophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
just download it, extract it with WinRar (i know it's a .exe file, but you can extract it) and replace the romupdateutility with this one:
ftp://[email protected]/Up...AKU2.3_LvsW_edition/ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe
copy the nk.nbf file in the same folder with the other files and just run the romupdateulityNo_Id.exe to update.
This Rom runs very stable and fast, much faster than the dopod one.
John
do either of those updates change the ipl/spl?no chance of them mismacthing right?

I haven't noticed any major speed improvement over the Dopod rom. Actually, my machine became slightly more unstable. Maybe it is only a software problem though. I have not reinstalled the applications that are running from the SD card, but I relied on a restore using sprite backup.
Ciao,
G.
thanks
tried the qtek. got a fright when i saw
IPL:2.10.0001
SPL:2.20.0001
but then it worked
now will try the rom and see how it performs. my previous 2 were wizards which i used qtek roms
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a CID-Locked QTEK S200 (G4 Version). Its language was originally Portuguese and through some info collected in this forum i managed to successfully change its language to English, leaving IPL and SPL untouched. So far so good.
What if i want to update the Radio ROM?
If i use this RUU
Code:
Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.61.21.exe
Will this mess up with IPL and SPL or will it just update the radio rom and everything keeps working as it is?
Thanks
Code:
Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.61.21.exe
doesn't include ipl and/or spl so you can succesfully install it
Even if it's a G4 CID-Locked device?
yes, I have G4 CID-locked prophet and it works perfect
I don't remember right now if I had to use NV-ID so you have to try by yourself
Ok thanks, i'll try it out
Yep, i upgraded the device this morning and up till now seems to be working perfectly. Thanks for the info.
qtek s200 to english
Hi namco,
I`m new to s200, could you please explain how to change the language to English on my Qtek s200???
My sim is also locked by another provider and it doesn`t reconize my SIM card.
Any Advice on this ??
Thank You

Gjergji
just upgrade your device to any available English ROM.
about SIM locked, search for unlocking tools in this forum..Im sure you'll find it!
Hi,
clustered just gave you the answer
And yes, there are a few posts in the forum that explain how to unlock your S200 so you can use any simcard you want.
sorry to hijack ur thread. thinking of upgrading radio rom as well to my dopod 818 pro G3 device. sorry to be a noob but what does the radio rom do?

HTC uses Dopod as their brand in Asia. For example:

It's available for S710 and E650, but you should cid unlock your phone first. BTW, it's English and Chinese duo-language supported.
It looks like the VOX is builded on same base as Tornado so it should work just flash it... did somebody try it?
You joking, Vox got 128M flash rom but Tornado only 64M.
moved to Vox.

I tried on a french E650 and got the "Invalid Vendor ID" error message. I'm looking how to CID unlock it.

this rom is not for your phone.
i flashed to this rom because i found my vox to be too slow for my liking. so far it seems stable. the only problem that i have encountered is that the overclocking program wont run now.
i had to cid unlock my device. i used imei-check.uk and all went well (after they made me send a copy of my license to verify who i am). the install went smooth. the device seems slightly quicker when switching screen orientation while in the messaging application. not fast, but a little quicker. my device would take several seconds before and sometimes it would freeze while doing this.
if i encounter any problems i will make note of it here.
Anyone try this with blackberry connect? Is this a new rom than what the htc vox (non-branded) shipped with?
it is a newer rom version than the one that shipped with my unbranded s710. i dont use the blackberry connect software, sorry
interesting. i hope someone will cook the rom, to make it available with all the must:
TCPMP, live messenger, etc
Right now I stay on my SFR S710 rom, as i debrand it with modaco ' s stuff, and customized it like i wanted.
We'll see what this rom as to offer.
ROM extract problems
Hi I tried to extract this ROM with imgfs tools but at the last step (the bin extract) i get this message :
unknown header type , FS_data_table??
May be the ROM is protected?
I just tried to flash my unbranded HTC Vox and I am getting the following:
ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID
This is really weird, I thought unbranded phones were all CID unlocked? Is that erro because it is locked? I was hoping to load this up becase my vox is a little slow too, but mostly because I was hoping that it fixes the continous reboot problem with microsd card. I have tried to clear out the notifications and that hasn't fixed the reboot problem.
Any ideas?

Not Tornado (C600?) ?

I installed it. Working fine, miss the theme with small types though. The fonts look kind of big and crappy, i think maybe cleartype is not enabled but I can not figure out a way to turn it on.

Not if you flashed Hardspl. The rom will go back to the original rom, but the hardspl will not go back to the stock spl. For that you must find your stock spl and use jumpspl to re-lock your phone to the stock spl and rom.
