Hi guys.
I did it... i screwed up my QTek S100! I tried to upgrade it, maybe the wrong files, dunno... now it is *dead* ! I only get a dark screen with "SERIAL V1.00" or "USB V1.00" if docked (should be bootloader mode). Nothing else.
Would you please be so kind as to help me in recovering from the disaster ? I do not have any backup, nor ROMs. I own a 512 MMC.
I would need English Roms... pleeeese !!
Thanks a lot.

Do you still have the files you used to upgrade? What's the name of the file?
Also, leave the info on your previous ROM.
I had the same problem with my Qtek S100 when upgrading it with the new firmware. The upgrade process stopped/crashed the first time leaving my unit in the same state you're describing. But, what I did was simply to run the upgrade utility again and then it worked fine the second time.
I don't know where you're from but if you have a swedish unit like me you can get the latest upgrade utlity from this adress:
http://www.smartmobile.se/upgrade/upgrade.aspx
Here is my previous (and gone) configuration. It's hard to believe I can't re-flash it again. English ROM is my best wish...
I wish you could help me...
Oh! I have tried all "QTEK ROM WORKS" recent methods. I always get that Country Code Error and I do not saved the previous GetDeviceData output.

Looks like the same happened to me. Try to open battery cover (or remove battery for several second. Then put everything back and push Power button. Does it turns on (with hard reset)?
Nope buddy! The OS is gone! Whatever I try to do, it always starts in Bootloader mode (Serial V1.00/USB V1.00).
Try removing the battery for 30 minutes (or whatever time it takes for the backup battery to discharge). That should recover your previous configuration although I haven't tested it.
Thanks for your reply, macrinus, but, exactly, how do you believe the 'vanishing' OS is supposed to reapper ?
We must be talking about spiritism in here...

Backup ROM
Is there a way to make a backup of my rom?
I have the qtek s100 with english rom.
Purchased seperate.
rom 1.03.00 WWE
radio 1.05.00 (upgraded)
extrom 1.03.100 WWE
Had the same issue with my radio version upgrade.
Scared the hell out of me ...
Backlight did not lit up ...
And an error apeared on my pc ...
But I was able to upload it when I tried again and the sync program of ms was killed.
If anyone knows how to make a working back-up ...
I like to help.
Think it's interesting to see how everything works.
And ofcourse, if you worked it out already, let me know how ...
And what macrinus said wont work.
When you do a hard reset, you do exactly the same.
So I think it's all gone.
why not dump the os to sd card, ntrw to pc and then put the nb1 fille in the ftp........
Tell me how ...
Tell me how, and I will ...
Sounds like chinese to me buddy.
Just got this pocket pc for 3 days.
First time I use a ppc.
Is that with xbackup?
Then choose all data?
Or do you mean another way?
What is ntrw?
And how do I get it from the backup?
And also, how is he suposed to upload it to his ppc?
Am asking this all to get to know it for myself.
Need the basic information before I can actually do all this ...
ok, sorry, if you are new to this forum, maybe its time now to browse this forum using the "Search" . There are hundreds or maybe thousands really good topics / advices available in this forum, posted by experts.
I and hundreds others I think, have really learn a lot from this forum.
On this specific topic you can search for :
- dump rom
- bootloader / bootloading.
You can also go to this forums ftp : ftp://xda:[email protected]/
to download all the necessary files
pls be patient and enjoy the tour......
Hello there you xda geniuses! I need a little help... I have an ATT Tilt running Dutty's WM6.1 WWE radio 1.65.14.06 protocol 25.81.40.02w. I bought this phone with this ROM, so I don't know what all was done to it, but the problem I am having is that from time to time, the phone and data switch off to 'no service' and i cannot get a phone signal to register, unless i soft reset it. I have read of this on several lists but cant seem to find the definitive answer - do i need to flash the ROM again, or with something other than the version it uses in order to get this resolved? I am missing calls and messages when it is down. Please save me!!
Hard reset the device first.. ..this is what I do with all my new purchases
Reflash the radio if you do not wish to hard reset. This will keep your data unlike a hard reset.
If this does not work reflash the device with a new ROM.
There are plenty around here. Check the WiKi if you want to know more about those ROM's.
When you say reflash the radio, can you elaborate? I dont know what file i'm looking for. You have already been a big help, thank you!
Why don't you post this in the appropriate thread and maybe you will get more answers????
If I knew what thread that was, I would have posted it there. Perhaps you could tell me where it should go before I drive over this phone with my car tire.
When you flash your radio it means that you only flash that part of your device that's responsible for the radio\data\gps etc.
If you check the HTC Kaiser in the WiKi you will find multiple links to radios that are available.
Hi all,
yeaterday I installed Nadavi HTC Camera cab file. the installation did not finished, it failed (however I see that the free space on the device is smaller now).
since then, the camera shows me "unable to initialize camera. failed to set up the camera device".
I tried:
to run it from windows/camera.exe
to put out the battary for 15 minutes
read all the related posts
installed the Nadavi_OLD_HTC_Camera_5_0_4_2915_00 - did not helped
is there any solution for this?
thanks,
Royi.
If all else fails you'll have to try a hard reset. Remember to back up all your contacts and messages first.
thanks for the respond.
is this the only solution for this issue?
I just done a hard reset, and it did not helped.
someone got another ideas?
i'm really sad about that one...
I would consider reflashing the phone with the same (or maybe a different/cooked) ROM; I'm positive that your problem is related exclusively to software.
Good luck!
i'm a newbe at this...
you got any guide or something like that for this procedure?
plus, what version do you recommend?
Just to rule out a bad ROM I'd flash the original 6.0 ROM first to verify that the camera indeed works. If not, then you must remove hardspl and send your phone to service. If it starts working again you can try the cooked 6.1 ROM again.
the problem is that i'm already using the original ROM.
I never installed a new rom.
my rom ver is:
1.25.405.1 WWE
radio:
1.58.21.23
Protocol ver:
25.65.30.04H
so, is it really needed to install the oroginal rom again?
If it's not modified, then it may worth taking your chance with the service.

you mean to send it to HTC?
someone? help!
I don't know the camera fix you applied, so I don't know that it was trying to do. But since you have not upgraded the ROM or changed the SPL to HardSPL I would send it in for repair if you are still under warranty.
If not, I'd try reflashing the original ROM if you can get it. That way you will reflash everything in case the camera fix overwrote something, but that I find quite unlikely, but it's your last best hope if you are out of warranty, unless you want to pay for a repair that is.
this is the cab I installed

thanks for helping me...
I flashed to udk7 diamond rom...it did not helped as well.
How can I check if this is a software issue or Hardware?
sorry for the nudging...but someone got any ideaz?
If you have tried both original and cooked ROMS, what do you think? I'd say it's obviously a hardware issue. Reflash original ROM and remove HardSPL and return the device to service.
I tried only to flash to udk7 ROM. is it worth a try to flash to the original one?

Yes, I'd certainly try the original too since it contains OS, radio and the whole lot.
Is your camera work one time or never ?
If never work just send the Phone to HTC or go to your operator ( SAB: Service After Buying ??? like SAV in france ?).
Have you try to flash with a new RADIO rom like 1.64.**.**
Where do you bought your phone ?
Same problem for me.
Send the phone to HTC. It's a hardware problem.
Don't try any flash o fixing. If the camera don't work after a hard reset, you have a motherboard problem.
Send it to HTC and they will change the board. I have now a new IMEI number.
I swear I have used the Search tool, but lots of topics have HSPL in their title, and I weren't able to find any FAQ topic talking about that.
Everybody here talks about SSPL, HSPL, how to use them and so on. The only think I understood is that to flash custom roms you need HSPL, and for official roms SSPL is "enough". Could anybody tell me something more and explain me why do we need this stuff to flash a rom and not just run a .exe on the device which could do everything automatically?
I also didn't understand what the Radio is. I thought a part of the rom which manages the GSM/3G antenna, but I think I am wrong.
Thank you in advance

okay
spl = Secondary Program Loader. Think of this in the same sense as bios on a pc. (it sets where your system boots from, intialises sub system process etc)
sspl = soft spl (this allows you to flash another spl or hardspl).
hardspl = hard spl .. basically it allows flashing of any rom. It protects you from bricking your device. If you have a bad flash it just forces the phone to load into bootloader, from where you can flash another rom using pc or storage card to get your phone working again. Using a hardspl you can flash any carrier rom without cid unlocking your device first.
Radio = you are correct about your assumption as to what a radio does .
Now if you are flashing your carriers official rom than you don't need any of this stuff but different carriers set their cid in their roms so only phones that have their cid can flash those roms ... now if you like the wwe htc rom and want to flash it onto the tilt you will first need to hardspl your device or otherwise you won't be able to flash the rom ... it will time out with an error telling you invalid vendor id.
Many thanks! Now it is much clearer! Just one more question: why do people care so much for the radio and post their radio version to their signature? Is the radio revision so important? Why is it not just part of the rom?
Thanks again!

well radio is definitely important ... i mean if you have a uncompatible radio you will loose sound, camera, connection etc on your phone. Reason people list the radio they are using is basically to let others know what radio is working for them on the rom they have. This way if someone else doesn't know which radio to use with the rom than can use the radio they have listed. Radios are location dependant. Some radios give better reception here in states while others give better reception somewhere else in the world.
Most of the time chefs will include a radio with their rom, but some leave it out so you can choose the one that works best for you. Just a keynote to keep in mind when selecting radios is that wm6.1 roms need wm6.1 radios and wm6 roms need wm6 radios. Also DO NOT flash a radio that is intended for another device i.e a rapheal radio onto a kaiser (this will brick your device). There are exceptions to this rule. Also you should get your phone security unlocked before proceeding with flashing various kinds of radios. This will save you from getting stuck with a radio that locks itself to the device (thus rendering itself unchangeable; no matter how many times you flash another radio you will be stuck with that radio) an example of this is "the radio from hell" which alot of people in the kaiser forum got stuck with and weren't able to get rid of it until "FrankenKaiser" came along.
Hope this helps.
Thank you, it does.
Another term I read is Jump SPL. What's that?
Some poeple encounter problems trying to flash hardspl, Jump spl "jump starts" the process.
(problems like the kaiser white screen issue here)
Ok, thank you all.
Now I only have to wait for the Blackstone Hard SPL.

How do you know that? In the placeholder topic there has been no update about the development status since a while.
WOW!!
Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to thesire and joel2009 for being so extremely nice to a newbie!!! This is probably one of the first posts I have seen where a newbie doesn't get their head bitten off for asking a question. (I don't think I've ever asked a question for that very reason! LOL)
I was searching for the answer to 'what is SSPL' because I couldn't find it in the Wiki acronyms section. What a pleasant surprise! Sorry if this steers away from the topic but I just could NOT pass over this thread without saying THANKS!!!!!!!!
You wont get flamed for asking Questions in this Forum
as for the Acronyms, try here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=265
more here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FAQ#techicalJargon
my friends, you need to master the art of searching
So I actually risked to find my skin burnt by the flame?
I didn't even know that there was a wiki/knowledge base here. Well, I actually felt somthing like that, but I completely forgot about that when searching. I searched carefully indeed, but only in the forum, and since lots of topics contain the words SPL, HSPL and so on, I was unable to find relevant results.
I'll look there next time, thank you all again.

Hi, I have a Tilt with PDA Corner Ultimate V.10,
Hard SPL 3.29,
and radio 1.27.14.09 (AT&T Stock)
The radio is causing the phone to have no sound, but everything else works fine. I know this problem is common, but I have tried everything within my ability and cannot get it to flash to any other ROM or radio.
When flashing a new ROM or radio, it shows the current version and update version, but never gets past 0% without a 262 error
I have tried all of the solutions I found posted on the forum, (Jump SPL, MTTY, EVERYTHING) trust me i've searched and read and searched more, I am not a newb to this although my post count is low.
Is there anyone with this particular problem on this particular ROM/radio combination that can help me out?

Maybe this is another one of those 'Radios from Hell' that won't let you upgrade. Note this quote from Ultimate Radio Thread:

A clear advice to all is: always make sure you have HardSPL installed and your device is security unlocked before installing a new radio !!
Also, maybe something in this thread will help you...

Thanx for your quick reply. I was thinking along the same lines, but I installed HardSPL just fine and flashed to the PDA corner ROM with no problem, the problem arose when I figured out that the radio was causing the phone to have no sound and wanted to update it..which of course did not work. Right now I am trying the stock ROM with the same radio to see if it will allow me to flash it...

That's why I'm thinking you may have flashed a 'Radio from Hell' which is preventing any further ROM updates. Maybe something in the RFH thread I linked to can help...
Good luck!
Ok, this is a radio from hell, i found some information on it stating that when it is used with any other ROM, sound will not function. Now I am trying to revert back to the orignial ROM but I have a new problem, I cannot find the original rom for this phone (AT&T aku 0.4.4 build 18128 radio 1.27.14.09) in working condition. There is only one link to it and the file is corrupted(rapidshare). is there anyone with this operating system that could send me a link that is NOT the one posted on XDA: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341886). Thanx to drtolson, and thanx in advance to anyone else who is brave enough to get involved.
(Drtolson, I want to try the techniques on the post you sent a link to, but it states that the steps only work with that particular radio and others have not had any success using it with any other radios.)
