Hi, I got my Qtek S200 aka Imate Jamin yesterday and I tried to do a ROM upgrade. I followed the instructions given in the website http://kimpeacocke.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-to-perform-rom-upgrade-on-your-i.html
I got the upgrade from this site at ftp://xda:[email protected]_022021_Dopod_PDAMobizEdition_v101.zip
I followed the procedure given in the website given above. After I upgraded successfully everything on the phone was wiped out. Since there was no instruction to backup the files, I did not do it. Now all that I see is a four colored screen saying RUU in the top right corner, IPL 2.09 in the top left corner and SPL 2.09 below it.
Does anyone know how to get my phone working again? Do I have to install all the applications including windows mobile 5.0?
If yes, please tell me where to get the softwares for the Qtek S200 and info on how to install it.
Thanks in advance.....
Hi julian_me.
If you are new at this ROM updating stuff, you should use official release by the OEM from their site. Those will warn you about full battery and the need to backup your data.
Now to your problem:
You do not need to reinstall WM5 as it is part of ROM. The screen you are seeing is the bootloader. You should soft reset using the reset hole (at the bottom of the device).
If you still don't get in to windows, you should try reflashing with an official ROM.
Hi there,
Thanks for the help. I tried the soft update. It didnt work. When I checked the Qteck S200 folder from my PC I dont see any folders. It just shows up blank. Would that be an issue? Where can I get the official download of the Qtek S200 rom update? Does that bring back all the folders and programs. Sorry to be bothering you with all my questions. I am new to the pocket pc.
It's no bother, but you might be in over your head.
1) The official ROM update should be available on the QTEK site.
2) Not 'soft update' - soft reset, it doesn't update anything, it just reboots the device. Strange that it still boots to bootloader. Are you sure no buttons are pressed while the device boots?
3) You won't see anything on your PC until the device is synchronized. For that it has to boot up properly, and it seems to be stuck in bootloader.
4) If you manage to download and flash the official ROM your problem should be solved, if not you may have to send your device to the lab for repairs.
Good luck.
I have had a similar issue I think...
When the ROM upgrade ahs finished sometimes you need to remove the cable before the software resets (there is a small note on the screen to this effect). For some reason this ballses up the restart.
As levenum said - always best to download the ROM from the official website, which should provide an adobe instruction sheet too.
Hi levenum,
I tried both the soft reset and hard reset. When I did the hard reset, I got the message "Press Send to restore factory default, Other keys to quit". I pressed the send button. I get Format FAT partition. etc. When I powerup, I get the "Qtek" screen and then it goes to the bootloader screen and it gets stuck there. Any ideas??
Thanks,
Julian
cable
Have you removed the cable after the reboot?!
Yes, I did remove the cable. I also tried to reflash using the official ROM update. When I run the exe file, all that happens is that a window opens and then closes. Nothing happens after that.
re: Q-tek probs
The only time I have encountered this problem (and I have had XDA 1, II, IIi, IIs and an EXEC) is when something has been running or trying to run on the PDA as the upgrade has gone through.
If, as you say, once the download has completed you have removed the USB cable (before the reset), and no buttons are currently pressed then I do not know why the ROM isn't re-booting.
My only remaining advise would be to contact the vendor of the device and show them the problem you are having.
Re: re: Q-tek probs
I had the same issue when trying to upgrade my ROM. For some reason I were not able to use any pdamobiz ROM. I successfully switched from FR to EN using that ROM :
RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
Now it just works fine !
What is the first thing I should do?
I am running the original shipped rom, with plenty of programs added on. I ran Hard-Spl v1 & updated the radio yesterday, as I have been having outgoing and incoming phone issues at my house...didnt exactly solve the issue, but:
The last .cab I opened was "_Alex_ htc_d3dm Replacement"
I did not open it from a wm6.1 rom. <--This may be my problem. I am now stuck in the green WindowsMobile splash screen. I dont want to "mess" this $500 phone up.
Please advise.
Maybe I should have started off with "HELP!"
Maybe I should have started off with "HELP!"
do a hard reset
maybe that can help
rebooted in "safe mode"...waiting...
in safe mode, went to settings, un-installed the .cab...
soft-resetting to 'return to normal mode'
we'll see
okay, what do I need to do to undo what the .cab did?
so I removed the .cab, but I'm sure I didnt undo the problem...
since I didnt fix my issue yet, Im back in safe mode, and I connected to Activesync...should I just flash a Rom? Is it safe to flash in safe mode?
DO A HARD RESET!!
the _alex_ cab wrote some files on your windows folder (some .dll's)
enter in safe mode, backup stuff then do a hard reset =)
Hi. Can someone please help me out? I was trying to flash my cingualr 2125 from wm 5.0 to 6.0. I was using Kar Hoe's instuctions and I used the typhoon instuctions instead of the tornado instuctions. I didn't know there was a difference at the time.
I did all the steps up until step 5 on the typhoons where it states you will get a white screen. At that point, I accidently hit my usb and the phone disconnected from active sync. I thought if I took my battery out, I could just do a reboot and get the reboot screen. Well I got nothing. I cannot even turn the phone one. I cannot even connect to active sync. I thought maybe I fried the battery and bought a new one and no luck. I have done a hard restart and all other things that I could think of.
Does anyone know if I had hurt the phone and if it can be fixed to get to the bootable screen. I would be happy just to get it to power on and stay with wm5 just to have the phone working.
I really appreciate your help.

Aah i remember doing the same once i screwed up my newly acquired tornado with typhone rom. phone was dead no bootup screen nothing, i tried every thing asked everywhere, thankfully i had warranty period so went to them with very innocent face and made up a story that "i switched it at night and it wont boot in the morning" they bought and gave me a new phone after a week. any ways GOOd Luck
Enjoy WM6
think your in trouble mate. Using the wrong rom and cancelling it half way is a big no no. Least you have a fancy paper weight
Similar problem
I have just acquired a tornado (in it's o2 guise) and it will only get as far as the wm splash screen. I thought trying a hard reset or flashing it with a new rom might revive it. However I tried hard reset (holding down the 2 soft keys beneath screen while pressing power button?) but it just kept booting to the splashscreen. The phone doesn't boot far enough to be recognised by Activesync so can't flash it. Can anyone suggest a solution? Would going to bootloader mode allow me to flash it? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks
try this.
1.switch off phone
2. remove battery
3. re install battery
4. hold camera button
5. while holding camera button plug usb cable to port
6. after some second u will see three color bootloder screen
7.format binfs
7. then u can flash correct tornado rom
you can us alternative method for going to bootloder mode
hold camera button while holding camera button press power button(not hold)
GOOD LUCK
Hi fayizk1
Thanks for the tip. Just one question, will this command CID unlock the phone too? It's just the phone isn't CID unlocked, I've tried using instructions and tools on other threads to change the CID value of downloaded roms to that of my phone, but all Typhoonnbftools produces is a 512 byte .nbf file which isn't good for anything. Any suggestions?
binfs not allowed!
When I run format binfs from teratermpro I'm told it's not allowed. What do I do now?
First off, try a couple different times. The "format BINFS" command is case sensitive - where your capital letters are makes ALL the difference. You may need to try a couple times, but I believe "format" is all lowercase and "BINFS" is all capitals.
Thanks djsleepwalker but I tried your suggestion and tried a few times in different cases but still got "Not allowed operation". (If all caps I get "Invalid command") I read somewhere that I'm getting this message because the phone is not CID-unlocked?
Tried a few times in different cases, still get "Not allowed operation". I read somewhere else that I'm getting this message because the phone is not CID-unlocked? Well I know that otherwise I would have just flashed another rom. Problem is I have tried using Typhoonnbftools to change the CID over numerous roms, the file it produces is only 1kb or smaller which is no good for anything. I feel like I'm running out of options...
Just try to flash with a legal WM5 ROM from the magnufacture's web site while the device is in bootloader screen. I hope it will work.
Good luck
This is my problem. There isn't one on their site! I emailed them but they were no help at all.
edit: Have also searched loads of forums etc. no-one seems to have it and there are lots of people looking for o2 roms.
Won't help

Hello, I though I knowd everything I needed to upgrade my hpc from wm5 to wm6.1 with the rom of this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401095 , so I did hard reset it, I then launched EnterBL.exe on it, I then launched ROMUpgradeUt.exe on my computer (I saw later that I should have use GetDeviceData.exe before but still, I think this wouldn't have change something), I saw that I must hard reset again my hpc, so I did and now: the screen show absolutly nothing, not "serial 6" or something but nothing, the only thing I seem to be able to do is to hard reset it again so I see the "press 0" screen but if I do so, it show me nothing again. Also, my computer doesn't recognise it. So ?
yeah I get it, I should have put the file in the right folder, not just launching it. Isn't there a way to move it now or I'm totally screwd like I can simply throw it by the window ? Even a way like paying qtek to reset it I don't know...
Woot, ok, at least now I know that I will be able to do something: I just did hit light + power + reset to enter the bootload (I'm getting a serial msg but I'm sure I will find what I'm suppose to do here since I saw help for this case many times). I understood that to go in the bootload, I had to copy the file (and since I didn't this well, I was screwed).
Fool!
You havent ROM in your UNI....Your ROM is Empty bro, cause you not upgrade correctly your UNI, you skiped a lot of steps, Do you unlock your UNI? Do you upgrade to supercid? DO you upgrade the bootloader? Do you try to upgrade the ROM with a instaler? Why you skip getdata? Do you want to brick your UNI or What?!, try to do all steps correctly and first try to back to original WM5 ROM. I did brick a UNI cause i didnt follow the steps, take care plis....
and....
Put your UNI in Bootloader, disconect usb conections in Active sync, conect the UNI, execute the installer of the ROM, if you have errors, you' ll format the UNI's RAM with mtty.exe (task 28 55aa) and try again.
Hi,
and this is not the right way to start a thread in a new forum
a few days ago i bought a used TytnII with english ROM and last night I decided to organize my phone with tools and programms and then a bad thing happened....
I accidentally flashed a ROM in my phone, the file was marked HTC_TYTNII_UPDATES. The file was installed without giving any warning about ROM or non-compatibility issues. After rebooting i get a message that i used illegal ROM and a DeviceLocked message. and the phone reboots.
Any hope to bring it back to normal?
Stergios
Was it a cab file you installed?
Or did you run the file from your computer while your phone was connected through activesync?

1. I don't think you flashed a rom.
2. There is no illegal rom.
3. Maybe it is a good idea to do a clean rom install on your Kaiser, especially since it is a SH device.
Either install cmonex' hard2 spl (3.29 for Kaiser or 3.56 for Tilt) and any rom of your choice, or flash the official rom for your device which will probably work with any spl you may have.

loooool
why do you hate your kaiser!
anyways, there is no way a rom got installed without you knowing stergiosKLM...you would get many steps to click on if you were installing a rom.
format the device...install hard spl (whatever kind except 1.0) and flash your custom rom

Your best bet is to do a hard reset. Go to start, settings, system, clear storage.
Write 1234 and press yes. It will start you from scratch. That should help.
anyway you could upload the file you installed so we could take a look at it
I am on trip right now but as soon as i get back I will send the file.
Thank you all
Problem update
my kaiser has eng version and the file i executed from my pc and installed in kaiser memory (not card), is a localization program from the Greek distributor of HTC that installs two programs, the first in the localization program and the second is a lock program.
After a hard reset (soft keys and reset key), i get the screen alignment, time and date etc, then i tap the screen to start using the device. and then ii installing the customization program.
the file is "HTC_TyTN_II-0.4.2.6GR-9.0.0.25.Installer.zip" and is a RUU_ExtendedPKG program....
Try hard reset by poking the soft reset hole and hold two softkey simultaniously...
look here for proper instruction to reset (kaiser wiki)...
Hard reset.

This is the best idea I read in the thread. Just think about if this poor person throught that he/she had flashed a rom. Why even send them though the confusion of (hard spl, and flashing a custom rom)when he/she has no idea on what they are doing anyway. Just hard reset your device and this will fix your issue plain and simple.
i already tried that. plus, i do not know how, the device booted, i uninstalled both programs, then did a reset and still it keeps autoruning the file.
Should i record a video so you get an idea of what is happening? How can i upload the file so someone can check it out?
BTW i am a he. 8)

You try to hard reset you phone?? I not talking about a soft reset. To perform a hard reset hold down to 2 line keys located between the send call and end call buttons and press and hold in the reset button with your stylist(this is located right next to the charge/usb port) til you see a white screen with blue writing and fellow the on screen instructions. I hope that this helps
i did that many times. all goes well up to the point where i get the message "setup is complete. tap the screen to begin using your device". I tap the screen and I get a windowed message "customization. It will automatically customize your device in 3 seconds" and the device shows a progress bar which says "Loading...." then "Loading AutoShortcut...." then "Installing...." after it finishes it reboots and it loads with the greek customization. as soon as it loads i get another windowed message which notes "DeviceLock. you have illegaly aquiered this ROM! This ROM is only for phones sold by ACE-Hellas and their distribution channel!" and after 3 seconds the device reboots and it keeps doing that.
The best solution is to go to HTC's website and download a new ROM/Radio directly from them. This will 100% fix your problem.
This should be what you need.... Pick one that matches your area/carrier
How to solve until you get home

Ok here's the deal. Do a hard reset and when it flashes to the customizing in 3 seconds button, do a soft reset by pushing in the reset button. That will stop customization from happening. Then you can use your phone, but will have to run connection manager to get your connection settings. This is the way to stop customization from running. It only runs one time after a hard reset.
When you get back off your trip, start with the thread mentioned above and work your way through the hardspl process and select a rom that you think has what you want then flash it.

thank you, i appreciate that. One last question for the proper rom, i have to match rom version and radio version only, right?
have a happy new year. thank you all again
HardSPL must be matched too, but you probably won't have any problems regarding this if you install HardSPL 3.29.

That should work with most custom roms out there. If you have a freeze issue where the screen momentarily freezes, then you will need to flash a different hard spl. Most roms, tell you which hardspl and radio are compatible.
