Hi there.
I recently bought a XDA IQ (similar to SP5) with a O2 Rom.
THe version is 2.0.11.0
Without having done anymodification, the phone was Sim-unlocked : I tried with my orange Sim card and it works.
But I had to app-unlock the phone using the registry modification method, it works as well. I had installed WM5torage without problem.
Now I want to know if I change the Rom version, will the phone still be Sim-unlocked ?
If yes, what is the more stable (official) version for it ? (same question with the WM6 Rom, will my cellphone become sim-locked after flashing ?)
I don t want to have to use Spvservice.exe cause it doesn t work with wndows vista.
Thank you for your help.
David
None of the ROMs here are "official". In terms of stability I have tried ROM from andot and jm012a9749 and found andot's rom to be more stable as most of the bugs are fixed now (they are both based on the same ROM, just two variations). And once you flash the ROM it will be sim and app unlocked.
Personally I've found that the i-mate SP5 AKU2 ROM is the most stable OFFICIAL ROM, available here: ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
Also, changing the ROM doesn't affect your SIM Lock...

Thank you for you answer.
On the I-Mate site, there is different files, what is the latest ROM ?
Thanks

Hy Guyz!!
Does anybody know (have the O2 german rom) where i can download the german (O2) rom for the Xda Neo.
Thanks in advance.
Next
Would be interested as well :lol:
I've a new O2 with german rom, I'm searching abot OS ENG ROM or I prefer the ITALIAN rom.
Before I delete my GER rom, If you want I can dump this for you. Do you have a O2 ENG or (the best) ITA rom (Qtek or i-mate)?.
I've a new NEO O2 with german rom, I'm searching abot OS ENG ROM or I prefer the ITALIAN rom.
Before I delete my GER rom, If you want I can dump this for you. Do you have a O2 ENG or (the best) ITA rom (Qtek or i-mate)?.
I've finally got mine backed up before i flashing it with i-jaming newest rom. But it is backed as dump. .. and as far as i know, to reflash it back later (i.e. if you/have want to), it has to be a .nba format. but i do not know how to convert it to that format.
If anybody knows how please let me know and i'll post the finished product here.
Thanks
Peace
ummm ... i would kindly appreciate if someone could backup its current ROM and upload it to xda ftp.
What ROM, OS, RADIO version is this? Currently i have the Qtek German ROM (see signature). Is the EXT ROM also available?
Regards,
Falk
I am also very interested in flashing mine to an english rom (qtek, etc), but I do also want the option of going back to the GErman Rom if need be...but, i have not seen the original German (Neo) rom posted. Does anyone know where this can be found? The O2 site has nothing....
thanks...
folks, the german (or whatever languaged roms) mostly pop up as soon as the carrier (o2, tmobile, orange, ...) or oem (qtek, imate) have a update rom available, so it is usually no problem to install your prefered rom now and then go back to the original as soon as you want to sell the device. also if you think that switching the rom may harm your warranty:
1) it's always possible to f*ck up the rom version you have on your device in case of a hardware issue (simply start any update and the unplug the usb), so your beloved device becomes a paperweight and noone can say what rom you've used; 2) would changing the os on your desktop pc harm any warranty? no. so there you go whenever someone asks.
you don't need to change the cid of your device, there's a modified upgrade_utility, so you can always go back to the original state of rom as soon as your carrier releases one.
go update now ...
cheers, lutz
aaaaaand by the way: the xda neo (prophet) german rom from o2 is now available officially here: http://www.o2-online.de/o2/kunden/technikundeinst/exclusive/xda/xdaneo/index.html?nidx=1 go get it and be happy

I have a QTEK 8300, same as the Imate SP5m. I downloaded and installed the SP5m ROM (found it via search of this web site), don't have the link any longer. It's much better than the original QTEK Rom, and this one is a lot faster than the previous Mobile 5 ROM that came on the device.

UPDATE: I just loaded the current QTEK ROM for the 8300 (find it on this forum); it's great; much faster than the Imate SP5m I had installed previously. E shows vs. G when connected to an Edge network.
has anyone got a qtek rom with spanish language on it??? that's the only reason why i still have the imate rom... or any way to get the t9 in spanish to add it??
nevermind... found out by myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56710
Hey,
Sorry for the stupid question, but I just can't find the info I'm looking for. I've checked the wiki and a lot of threads here but can't figure it out.
The wiki links to the FTP to show two ROMs I could download, but doesn't explain anything about them.
RUU_Prophet_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Am I right to guess that the first one is a very old version and the second one is the latest? If the second one is the latest, is it not available at clubimate just because clubimate is out of date? Also, shayd linked to JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip in a recent thread saying it's the latest official. If the ones in the wiki aren't official, what are they?
I'm currently running 2.13.9.23 on a G4 JAMin. This is what I put on from clubimate not long after I got the phone.
Also, I've looked at a few of the custom ROMs floating around here and they're interesting. However, I know that I don't know enough about this to just try upgrading to one, for fear of bricking my phone. Is there a recommended one, and would it void my warranty?
Thanks, and sorry again for the stupid questions.
As you probably know by now, the HTC prophet is sold (among others) by Qtek as S200 and by imate as Jamin. Hardware is identical so ROMS are compatible too. What you found on ftp are official ROMS by Qtek (ver 2.09 and ver 2.2).
Imate's latest version is 2.13, which is what you have installed at the moment.
Dopod's latest version is 2.15, while Qtek's latest version is 2.2. They're all official ROMS and will work on your device providing it's CID unlocked (search forum for CID unlocking). Just FYI, CID locking is used to prevent you from loading other carrier's ROMs.
Regarding customised ROMS, yes they're interesting but unfortunately they all have bugs.
Qtek's latest version 2.2

Thus meaning that, as I have an Imate JAMin, I could install Qtek's latest version 2.2 and it would be OK? Where do I find that??? Thanks in advance.
Thanks kta.
When i-mate's v2.13 is compared to the qtek v2.2, are those numbers relative to each other, or just arbitrary? I'm asking so that I can figure out if 2.2 is actually better than 2.13.
Also, am I right to assume that if my phone died while qtek's 2.2 rom was on there, my warranty would be void?
cheers,
James

You will be OK if you update it with Qtek's 2.2. There is one on xda ftp here: ftp://xda:[email protected]_S200_2.20.7.34_2.47.21_2.20.7.114_WWE.zip.
To avoid the ROM update utility telling you "Wrong Country ID" or something like that, make sure you use a ROM Update Utility with No vendor Id (probably included in the zip file).

Hi James,
The version numbers are relative to each other and Qtek's 2.2 is a better version based on a more recent WM5 release.
Regarding warranty, well, you'd have to check what Imate's policy is. I never had an imate myself but I had a similar experience with a T-Mobile device. I sent it back for repair under warranty and it had another carrier's ROM and they didn't complain. But Imate's policies could be different.
Thanks heaps kta. Very informative. I'll contact i-mate.
Quick question...
Does anyone know if qtek's 2.2 ROM has the laggy SIP switch popup issue?
Hi all,

I never thought it would come thanks for letting us know :x downloading it now.
Of course this new rom probably doesn't contain any new upgrades to the phone than already known/listed on this forum.. but you never know
EDIT: As I tought: this ROM (the ENG-version) already exists for a while; it's quite old actually..
> it's just translated to dutch and posted on smartmobility.nl, so that it's official.
So it's nothing new and certainly no WM6-update like some people thought!
grtz
jammer
perhaps just an updated ext rom?
Could you all stop downloading the rom? My d/l speed is down to 2Kb/s
Just kidding tho...
It's probably the same rom as the Swedish one only with radio rom 2.61.21...

I'll post it on a faster server once my downloads are done.....(ETA when i'm 85 at this speed....)

Hi Jesterz
could you explore the rom and post your experiences here? just in case there's any difference with the swedish 2.2 WWE-rom or the AKU2.2 you made
I also provided extra download links:
- here's the dutch version
- here's the english version
grtz
They look the same, however they have put the latest Radio ROM in there, I havent checked it fully yet, going over some small things and the ext rom

How can I update my O2 Xda(UK) to the new ROM? The update progress starts when opening the downloaded files, but whit in a minute, I get the error invalid vendor id[294]. current ROM is a 2.15.x
thanx in advance!
try one of the CID unlock things (search the forum)... It provides you with all the files necessary to upgrade, except the nb.nfk (or something like that), which is in the rom itself. This is a bypass to the vendor lock....
Qtek S200 Upgrade - English Ver.
Upgraded my phone with the latest ROM release. My phone works much, much better now and it’s more stable than before.
A Major improvement, I use to suffer from phone suddenly switching it self off. Or when on charge with USB cable it would not come alive after disconnecting the cable. Highly recommending this upgrade!

Hi, I'm new to updating ROM's....
I want to update my S710 from its original ROM version 1.15.405.2 to the one i found on the site: RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.
My radio version is 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. Can I use this update on my phone or not? Does the radio version's need to match?
Thanks

You should have no problem using this ROM to update your S710 as I used that ROM for a short while when it first came out, I then moved oveer to Dr. Gonzo's New Guava ROM, and I am now using his WM6.1 ROM, been using it since his first test ROM came out and I am now using his latest WM6.1 v1.0a ROM.
Roland
Roland, simple question. What is the advantage of upgrading ROM's? Newer features? Faster software? Just curious I guess. I just got my 710 and wondering whats the buzz with all this rom and 6.1 stuff. Thanks!
Chuck
@ Polarbair
To have the latest on your Vox offcourse.
Just like Rolandh I have updated my Vox with the WM6.1 rom from Doc. Gonzo.
And the new features and the increased stability are great.
Futher more I noticed the response of the software in some areas is better.
So all pro's and little con's.
Chong
The official HTC WM6 Update added a Network Setup Wizard and Office 6.1 to the ROM. Dr. Gonzo's WM6.1 adds Threaded SMS, New Internet Explorer Mobile with the ability to set your own Homepage, a better Home/Today Screen and some extra apps that Dr. G has added and is more responsive and a little bit more stable than WM6, and as Chongie says to have the lates version of WM on you Vox aswell.
Roland
Having only added Gregory's HTC plugin to this phone, if I wanted to add Dr. G's WM6.1, what is the proper way to do so? Is there some precautions I need to take first?
Not much precautions
Hi,
There is not much precautions to take, apart from taking backup of your contacts, that is and making sure that there is battery backup to your PC, so that the update process is not interrupted. Because once you update the ROM, all your data will be erased. Its like formatting your hard disk drive. If your vox is network locked (mine was not) then you need to unlock the phone first. If you download Dr G's latest ROM, then you will find out how to do it (there is a step by step guide that comes with it).
Honestly, if you followed the guide, there is hardly any chance of screwing up. And once you start using the 6.1 ROM, you will surely wonder how the hell could you ever have used the original ROM that came with HTC Vox
Wow, appreciate the awesome explanation! Thanks! As far as locked or unlocked, I'm assuming its unlocked. Bought it off Ebay, stuck my sim card from t-mobile in it, turned it on and worked like a charm! Have heard the term "bricking" phone, which i'm assuming means locking it up, correct? Since I wasnt the original owner, are there certain "codes" or info off the phone i need to get first? You know, like some software info or phone specific info?
Thanks again and am looking forward to upgrading this slow pig that wont update windows!
Off to back up contacts now, lol...............
