Rare problem with an upgrade

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!

My IPL changed?

Hello..
I played around with my prohpet and tried to install som different ROMs.. At the end I nearly bricked it, so now (with a little trubble), Im back to the latest Imate ROM, which I know is stable..
However, when I reset my device it says:
IPL: 1.00
SPL: 2.12.000
GSM: 02.0.2.21
...: 2.13.9.23
And Im pretty sure that my IPL was different before I started fooling around with the device.. It functions allright now, it seams, but It's a bit slow when rebooting..
Have I done something wrong, and how do I correct it?
Many thanks

anyone..?
I would be very thankfull...

I read in a tutorial that G3 phones have: IPL: 2.x and SPL: 2.x.000, but my phone is now IPL 1.00 and SPL 2.12.000..
And its really slow rebooting :/...
Please.. Any wise person knows just a litlle bit about this?

Hi Reef. When the latest official imate ROM was on my JAMin, there was IPL 1.00 & SPL 2.13.0000. After upgrade to AKU 2.3, SPL upped to 2.15.0000, IPL is still 1.00. So I think its no problem. In addition - do you remember your parameters before your "playing with Prophet"?

I didn't write it down anywhere no, so it might just be me forgetting..
But im 100% sure that it is more slow when booting now.. but its not a big problem..
Thanks for your reply

Does anyone think the IPL version affects the speed of a reboot?
I think that most likely it's because your current ROM has many progs in its startup folder... My boot time used to be fast. Now after 7 months w/o a hard reset & many, many installs and uninstalls, my boot time is very slow. I don't have many progs in my startup, but my registry and windows folder is bloated for sure from the various progs I installed & uninstalled.

how to do
Safe proof plan do it like this.
1. First get the original Rom back and install it you can find the link on the forum.
2. Make a ROM update with the update Rom tool
3. Do hard SPL 3 or 4 usually its 3 after you syncronize with active sync.
4. Install the new Rom .
5. Wait for the device to start up.
Try the Mobiz Rom it worked in my case any questions feel free, bye.

the problem is i dont know how to do hard spl so can any one help me please am stuck and i have the same problem a white screen and nothing happins

Having big problems please help!!!!!

Thanks,Ill have a look!

if it is an official rom you won't need hard spl (just a heads up to save some time flashing)

It is original, but the htc eclub, dosent have any more upgrades for the htc tytn.

I did everything, but then it showed me
