I am fairly new at rom upgrading so i started to follow the tutorial written by vippie. My ppc aint sim locked but i think it is cid locked so i downloaded button's 1.05 rom. When i want to upgrade the rom the programm gives me the following error message - Error 300 invalid update tool.
Some info:
My device ipl and spl number is 2.18.0001
I searched the forum and google but cannot find any solution.
I think your Qtek is nog CID unlocked yet. But I'm not totally sure.
G4
You got a G4 phone, so follow the G4 Tutorials. Its recognizable as 2.xx.xxxx on IPL and SPL. If you have a G3, it doesn't shows the 2.xx.xxxx but it'l show something like 2.xx.
So follow G4 tutors, i thought that if you wanted to flash, it'l need to be CID Unlocked and you should use Shell Tool ( its a tool to flash ).
Hi, I have a QTEK A9100 too. I flashed it many times with the RUU.
My suggestion (at least it worked for me)
a) if u r going from WM5 to a WM6 ROM (upgrade), use SHELLTOOL instead of RUU.
b) If u have problems flashing a ROM and want to go back (downgrade) use the RUU.
I posted both RUU and SHELLTOOL and made a step-by-step guide (in spanish) in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322719
I can translate it to english if you want... just let me know.

After instaling the ROM in the link:
Prophet AKU2.3 pdamobiz customized rom [G4 with SPL 2.15.0001]
I don't mind this being WWE instead than Spanish, but I got several problems:
Hang during install after first reboot. (after every Hard Reset)
Not all programs installed.
Not all installed programs running.
Some other minor glitches.
I moved from 2.15 ESP Rom (Vodafone) wich I was unable to extract.
Does anyone knows were to find my "old" rom?
I downloaded 2.13 from imateclub but refuses to install: "this nbf file is not for your device, get a newer one".
Help! please.
First, is your CID unlock?
Second, your device have a G4 chip, so you can not be able to install an older version, I mean, If you have a 2.15.0001 you can not be able to install a Rom for a Sapnish Qtek 2.09.0000 or like JAMin by i-mate 2.13.0000.
About where you can find your original rom, I invite you to find it on XDA-Wiki, after you log in under your nick or make a Dump Rom from other device like yours.

Thanks for your answer!
I'm unsure if this is CID unlocked, it is SIM unlocked now, will check for the CID issue. Though I assume that being able to install other 2.15 rom (dopòd) means it is already CID unlocked too....¿?
I was afraid the "downgrading" has to be done in the same version range. (2.15)
Thanks again for the wiki proposal, will go there.
The wiki site is a real mess actually, with no trace of usefull info specific for the prophet. (Sorry to say) Just a couple of ROM's some not working.
No one with a 2.15 ESN rom to share?
Regards.
i updated my s200 with a crossbow rom and now its dead
the update was sucssfull but when i push the power button the screen fliker for les than one sec and that it
my s200 will not go even to bootloader
any ideas ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292667
what ipl/spl do you have?
i have a G3 idont it was 2.20 i think
plz check again if its 2.20 or 2.21 and hope that its 2.20^^
edit:
mh you have g3 ... try the solution out that i mentioned before and try the cid unlock from pdamobiz.com... then reflash an older rom with spl/ipl.
edit:
the pdambiz can only be flashed when you are in align screen... if you have 2.21 take a wizard rom and go into align screen with active sync connection and flash the cid unlock rom.
if you have 2.20 then just try another prophet rom out and see if it works...
my s200 already cid unlocked
alright here is that one:
RUU_Prophet_2090732_20907115_020720_QtekGER_Ship.exe
sorry that its in german but its the only one I have right now... you can also change the language with some programm which is available here in the board..spl and ipl is included and it should downgrade you pda to 2.09
its an original shipped rom, they are always for g3 and g4 right? it doesn't say anything about that, anyways i used it on my g4 and it worked so you might wanna check out before as you have a g3 device, but I'm pretty sure it works for g3 and g4
so i maneged to get my s200 into bootloader
i now i have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.01 but my device is G3
so i tried to flash RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
and its start and when it reached 95% igot an error that says
"ERROR 326 ivalid command, the nfb file cannot be used with your pda phone
and one got and idea what to do ????
just now i tried to flash "RUU_Prophet_2090732_20907115_020720_QtekGER_Ship.e xe" and it fail at the first time
so i tried again and it sucsess
and now my qtek work again
i am verey happy
thanks for your help
how did u manage to get into bootloader
hi,
um facing the same problem and can not reach the bootloader screen....how did u do so...
please help
does any one now how to lower the spl . when u start the ppc mine is 3.08 and i need it lower so i can unlock my phone
Well, my guess is that your phone is already unlocked if your SPL is 3.08.
Is is a G3 or G4 Wizard?
G3 But I Wont To Put Black Diamond On It
So just try to launch the setup for BD to know if it really isn't already unlocked (in case it is, the Rom will install, and if it isn't, then it just won't, so theres' no risk for your phone.
Ya It Says Like Bnf Error
So you just have to follow the Wiki:

i need to downgrade me spl first i no how to unlock it
So what? Can't you READ? Everything is written in there, including the way to downgrade.
Here is a link to the adequate Rom since you seem so lazy...
Good luck

lol im not lazy i have read so many tutorials on to unlock to phone
Just to forewarn you, do not install the downgrade ROM until you bring your IPL/SPL down from 3.08 to 2.xx. If you don't you may end up like a lot of other people on here where you can't upgrade the IPL after you get done unlocking your phone and go to install WM6. To get it down, just go to your service providers website and download their official version of their ROM and install it first and that should bring your IPL/SPL down to a 2.xx version, then flash the downgrade ROM.

I did find one workaround that appears to almost always work is to have a minisd with a dumped raw image of a previous rom with ipl/spl included (r2d all command)...this was able to downgrade a phone on 3.08 back to 2.24 even after having gone to wm6. (it downgraded it back to wm5 at the same time)...conventional flashes were failing due to the ipl/spl.
ok thanks i will do that then i will unlock smart thinking

Yeah, downgrading your IPL/SPL is easy, it's when you go from a 3.xx IPL/SPL straight to a 1.xx IPL/SPL that can cause problems, like your IPL sticking at 1.01 afterwards and not wanting to upgrade back to a higher IPL.
YA but i cant find a downgrade for my spl
In the future, don't send private messages to people who haven't contributed to this thread. If you can't figure out how to downgrade and/or unlock your phone after reading the many, many threads on how to do it, I suggest sticking with WM5.
Here, run this. It's an IPL/SPL version only. It won't affect anything you info or programs you have loaded on your phone right now, all it will do is lower you back down to an IPL/SPL of 2.26.
ya that made me ipl 2.26 not my spl
That's not normal, try running it again. I think I just put a file that will change it to 2.25 in another post that you started. If the 2.26 one doesn't work after running it again, try the 2.25 one and see if it works for you.
Just install a factory T-Mo or Cingular ROM
(Gotta locate 1 yourself)
You'll lose all your info but you wanted to flash another Rom anyway.
You gotta keep a factory Rom handy when things go wrong
cujo did you just buy an 8125 because you think it looks cool or do you actually understand the phone? It seems to me like you should be using a razr or something less complex than that...
I followed Dr. Puttingham's thread and Yippie's thread to a tee in addition to reading threads in this forum for a good number of hours each day for two weeks. Yesterday, I became brave enough to downgrade my 2.26 Ipl / 2.26 spl; GSM 2.25.11; OS 2.26.10.2 MDA with a goal to upgrade to a custom WM6 rom with touchflo.
* Started with flashing the button rom then cid unlock with lockwiz2b which looked successful no errors but got a 1.xx IPL / 2.26 SPL since I got a 2.26 SPL then
* flashed the wizard love rom then then cid unlock with lockwiz2b which looked successful also but got the same results - a1.xx IPL / 2.26 SPL again then
* flashed the 2.26 T-mobile rom from the Tmobile website then
* flashed NBD 8.3 only to go back to Tmobile's 2.26 rom - DISAPPOINTED after two hours...............
Any assistance would be appreciated without bricking my MDA. Also, I read the thread on how to install a 2.x rom in a cid locked G3, this method appears a little bid complicated and if I need to move forward with this method, would this method work for any WM6 rom with touchflo and if somebody could simplify the method in layman's terms for newbie's like me could understand, please advice.
Let me know if I missed anything in the process.
Thanks, Technobuff
After u do cid unluck and sim unluck and its reboots do a downgrade again to the button rom and ur ipl and spl will change.(u do not have to re-due the onlucking procedure again)
I tried again performing Dr. Puttingham's CID unlocking process in terms of flashing the button rom then the CID unlock process using Lokowiz2b but while I am at the DOS screen trying to CID unlock my MDA it the DOS screen showed unlocking phone........DO NOT DISCONNECT UNTIL THE PHONE REBBOTS.
This process went on for 5 then 10 then past 30 minutes until I gave up. To be on the safe side I turned off the LAPTOP by taking the battery then pulled the USB cable from the PC to the MDA.
What is the typical timeframe for the unit to CID unlock? Why is is it hanging? Am I missing or skipping the process? How can I complete the process?
Any help would ber greatly appreciated by newbies who read threads.
Technobuff
The problem is that you need to have an IPL/SPL of 1.xx before you try to unlock your phone. CID unlocking will not change your SPL which means that you had an IPL of 1.xx and an SPL of 2.26 before you even tried to unlock. You need to reflash the button ROM over and over until your IPL and SPL both show 1.xx and then run lokiwiz.
dont get your point, i have been using shelltool for ages without any problems and quite a lot custom roms. my SLP/IPL is 3.08.

unlock problem
if your device doesn't reboot almost at once after the unlock, it probably didn't work. That is what happened to me. Did you get four lines of File cannot be opened or a similar message? I got that from following the 17 steps carefully. What was wrong for me was unzipping to the root directory of C:/. When I redid it to the desktop and executed from there, no problemo.
Your symptoms sound exactly like mine. I posted a longer thread, somewhere....

Ok i did a little booboo and yesterday was using equinoxe's softspl tool by mistake (didn't notice i had a g3), this causes you to actually end up with the exact same os you had before you flashed.
The best advice I can give: Open the Dr's guide and follow every step closely. (also just found this guide. Its a bit simpler http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305225)
Once you CID unlock you should be able to use the RUUs to flash.
Make sure everytime you do any of the steps that dr. putt gives to be comepletely synced to activesync.
Also dont forget to load enablerapi.cab on your wizard.
Also you must use the unlock function before the cid unlock function in lokiwiz.
OH also the unlock will work after your ipl drops to 1.xx After you do the unlocks reflash button to drop the spl to 1.xx Then just flash up to a higher IPL/SPL as the Dr states.
If it seems unorganized im sorry =P

Umm I believe the IPL/SPL of 3.08 means your phone is unlocked... so you really shouldnt need to use shell tool. Some correct me if I'm wrong

Just cause you have 3.08 does not mean you are unlocked..you could have upgraded a 2.xx ipl/spl without having downgraded and unlocked first.
thanks. helps me to learn stuff.

Perhaps they want it actually cid unlocked for resale value...or perhaps they prefer the RUU method of installs vs having to use shelltool.
Hello guys I have One problem. When I follow the steps for flash for my new rom I can't Continue. I press Next , Next step by step when I arrive to finish mirror where is the Image Version , there was not signed Image version there was empty I try with "Love Script" and Skynet "TechTeamup_Manila2D_NSN__v1.00_HTCWizard" I want flash my Qtek 9100 G3 with 6.5 rom with manila and touch flow. Can anybody help me ? How I can upgrade my phone to 6.5 now I am with 2005 version. There is System information WIZA200.
I am having trouble following what you are saying.
Can you try again with more words?
What is your native language?
If you want an English WM6.5 with Manila 2D, the choices are CR96 (in my signature) or one of Haseeb's Tech Teamup ROMs. Neither are very new, but Wizard ROM development is mostly stopped.
If you want German, the Cyberdyne is probably a very good ROM. He has been developing for a very long time. I don't know because I only speak one language, English.
sory for my bad English I try to install Manila 2D rom but in finish mirror where is the "Your rom is bla bla bal ... " will be changed with new rom version " rom version ..." and there was have one signed "Your new rom version is : " and there was empty . In readmi screenshots I see there was anything as "Your new rom version is : 1.20.1 " but when I try to install new rom in my mirror there is empty. I was install english rom version with manila . I can't find more roms for installing more time ago there was many but now I see soo small. Can anybody help me?
I try to flash my Phone with different rom. Everything Finish right but after hard reset with new rom old rom was start. I can't change my rom with 6.5 . I was flash my phone with one 6.5 from this forum step by step everything is right and in finish when I make master reset with new Windows mobile it was old rom not 6.5 which I install on my phone. I try to flash with two different rom after flash with second 6.5 rom Start mirror was change colors where is SPL IPL but old rom 2005 is start after that please help.
I believe you were able to run RUU and it claimed to be successful, but when you booted your phone, you had the old ROM. It sounds like perhaps your phone is not unlocked.
First determine if it is G3 or G4, then follow the instructions:
G3: here
G4: here
Maybe you were already following the instructions for G3, but you have a G4, so the instructions did not work. Read the beginning of the instructions carefully and determine whether G3 or G4 by the SPL version number.
Many of the older ROMs can still be downloaded, if you go back many pages in the forum. But first you want any ROM. After that succeeds you can choose by experimentation.

Yes, you have a G3.
Perhaps it is still CID locked.
Try following the instructions again from the beginning.
I wish you good luck.
