please help the newbie!!!!

I have a Qtek 9100 with wm5, when I start it up it reads:
Ipl 2.17.0001
Spl 2.17.0001
Gsm 02.07.10
Os 2.17.7.2
I would like to upgrade it to WM6 and maybe add some of the new features of the HTC touch. I love the wizard and refuse to give up the keyboard but would like to have some of the functionality of the touch. I can hack a pc just fine but have never messed around on a mobile before. I do not want to brick this thing. I have PHM registry editor installed on my wizard. I was hoping someone had a clear cut answer on how to upgrade my device to WM6 and install some cool apps along the way. I love reading the many posts on this great site, I have learned alot. If anyone can help out this newbie I would be forever grateful.

more questions
Thanks for the reply, I have determined that I have G4 unlocked model. Now the next question that I have is do I need to upgrade my existing rom before installing a WM6 rom. If not do you have any suggestions on which WM6 rom to install?

Did you mean CID Unlocked G4? If you are not sure then look for shell tool and follow some others in G4 forum.

I checked and it is CID unlocked, so my next question is which WM6 rom should I use? Does anyone know if the new "touch" applications will work on a g4 model? I have searched through the G4 postings and I have not found anything on this.

My idea

I think NBD 7.4 is the best WM6 "touched" rom...
But I don't know if it's working on G4 wiz....

G3 and G4 have nothing different apart from the boot chip. So it should work (I may be wrong but you can safely give a try).

Read the wiki

Don't remember who shared this, but I thought it would be appropriate here:
The members of this forum are advanced users, and they are expecting this from other members too. Thus if you don't want to lose your face in front of the other members, I suggest you try to solve your problems yourself first, and then search on this forum and even on the whole internet, and if then you still couldn't solve your problem, the link 'Post reply' or the link 'New thread' on this forum are there for you...So you will be sure that the problem you couldn't solve, isn't just something explained before and other members of this forum won't laugh at you...
The members with very high post count will not always be able to help you out in the best way...It is very easy to post hundreds of replies every day, but it's much harder to post so many useful replies! Sometimes you will see a thread becoming very long, thanks to some users willing to thank someone over hundreds of time. Of course, it is very polite to thank someone that helped you out, but you will see that all those thank you and other useless post are making it very hard for you and other members to find the posts that really will help you out of your little problem...So, an other suggestion for you is that you only post what really matters, that way, you will very soon be so popular in this forum and on any other forum that you might get famous by a lot of people and a lot of people might even remember you every time they are using their Pocket PC...wouldn't that be great??!
So, now you got a little introduction to this forum I'm sure you will find out your way and make it to the 'Search' button just on top of every page on this forum. Then, a new world will open for you, you will be able to find tons of information, more than ten or twenty thread are just on the subject what you where asking for and you will see that while you are searching, you will very soon get a little frustrated to find more than ten times exactly the same instructions to solve your problem. I am sure, very soon we will see some replies from you asking other members to just use that little search link before posting a question that was solved ten times before on this forum...
Have a nice day, we hope you will be able to help us out too if we got some problem that you might be able to solve!!

Could someone please check my wm 6.1 upgrading procedure is correct

Could someone have a look over what im planning to do and if im planning anything wrong let me know, thanks a lot. I upgraded my last orange tytn2 to the official HTC wm v6.1 a couple of weeks ago and encountered the dreaded screen lag problem. It was so bad and made by phone so unusable i gave up and called in orange care to bail me out.. broken screen, honest.
I have got a replacement now and still want wm6.1, i quite like some of the newer features, especially the threaded txt features. I have read all the forums and downloaded all the software (and have i noticed a fix for the wm6.1 lag problem that caused me so much grief two weeks ago).
This is what i plan to do....
1 Backup all docs and personal data.
2.copy the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to my device and run it (my last tytn had the white screen prob, this one will prob be the same)
3.unplug and replug the usb cable
4.flash with the HTC SPL 3.28
(or should i use this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922)
5.run RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship to upgrade the rom
6.reflash with HTC SPL 3.28 then reeboot
will the above process be ok and more importantly will it avoid the screen lag problems.

use that one, make sure you have done the procedure correctly. After that you have hard spl, and you can begin flashing any of the wonderful Kaiser roms that are available in this thread.
Now for my soapbox:
This information regarding proper flashing procedures is readily accessible in multiple locations including the wiki, and the stickied thread at the top of this forum. Please take the time to try to learn some of this by reading, and if you have questions about any particular part, please please please post in that thread instead of creating a new one. This place is getting messy in here (though that's partly due to all the wonderful chefs whipping out the new roms constantly...we appreciate your work guys!)

thats what are new hardspls are for: to get rid of screen freezes in wm6.1. Please read wiki and all important and relevant info before flashing. The track you have chosen is pretty much accurate, but posting a thread like this will get you scolded by the mods...

Thanks for your replies guys, and sorry to the mods if this posting has caused any problems in this forum.

I just received my Kaiser a yesterday coming from being a long long time Wizard user. Before I even received it I began reading everything I could to be ready to flash.. If there is one thing i could comment on though is that it appears that in the past month or so the Kaiser Rom flashing process has been changing a bit. I mean a new official 6.1 was released, diamond roms are coming out, and over coming various radio problems.
That being said, the wiki probably needs to be examined and updated as much as possible in these changing times. Once I get kaiser ground underneath me, I will be more then glad to contribute, as that is what this site is about, developers helping other developers. For instance, the page about ROM Upgrading basically just says flash pofs hard spl 1.0. Yes the new jockyws hard spl just came out, but still...
I don't know.... Just throwing it out there..
Coming from a wizard, the kaiser it a entirely different beast.. I am glad i have put in the time to do some reading, and its good to see some over the old wizard cooks here, and excited to to test out some new stuff.

!!!! Hey Y'all Fill Your Signature With Your Device Info Before Post Please!!!!!

Hi all!!!​
Fist of all Im Not insulting anybody... This is for our BENEFIT.
After some post and time, in XDA general forum Im exposing this problem:
We have too much BRICKED Devices in wizard forums, cause our devices have too DOC CHIP Flash versions inside and the people dont reads enough information, to know where to go and ask whatever they think. So We suggest a solution... when somebody register on the forum it must be some fill spaces about his device like ours... but it is imposible!!! and they are right, the reason is We cant obligate everybody to do this, even if is an important Info to avoid damages.
So... Flar (MOD) told me that we can get a Stickie Thread to let knows to everybody in wizard forums to fill their signature with the information we need to answer their questions, its a great Idea!!!!
So the hope is the last thing to die....
PLEASE EVERYBODY FILL YOUR SIGNATURE WITH YOUR DEVICE INFO​
So let me tell you what Info is important to fill in:
Device Model Provided if not in front cover under the battery in the label that say the IMEI and serial (If you want the name that carriers use, I think is not important but i see some people wit his HTC UNIVERSAL using Roms for wizards!!!) BRICKED PDA!!!
IPL and SPL version, provided by a softreset on the second screen(this info is shown on the second splash screen when device boots)
Radio version provided too in the second splash screen (when the phone starts or boot after the softreset under the name GSM!)
OS Version its shown again in the second splash screen (are just number like 1.0.0.0. or something like that)
The Rom you are currently using, Developer and Windows mobile version too, give to the chefs his fame and reputation too!!! they deserve lots of congrats even the ROM is ugly... cause it costs too much than a bricked device. if you have an original ROM please provide the link to it and all the info.
CID/SIM locked or unlocked SuperCID(G3), softSPL or HardSPL (G4) if you never do the unlock process on tutorial... You Are locked!!!
Its important that you read carefully the wiki Cause it has so much informatino like knowing about your DOC CHIPSET G3 or G4 (IPL, SPL can do it too) there is some Faq Manual if you can read a little too.
IF you got any question or suggest PM me you can found ME around Here.
Thanks To all!!!!! and mods to let me put this Stickie on every Topic in wizard forums.
Thanks to all the new members that recah his limits just for revives his devices or upgrade his devices we are here for help y'all.
Thanks to all Seniors, Administrators and Moderators for support our forum...
Im kinda MISS UNIVERSE????!!!!!
See on the upper lever bar of this web it says... USER CP click it and then on the Left bar see the option Signature... to edit your info
Just if you dont know what am I talking about.

I filled mine in a while back, for the same reason you suggest. When someone is talking about a ROM, it's nice to know what they are using.

It is the Meaning!!!
Thanks to support it... Yes you are right thats the reason too. thanks a lot.

There are certainly cases where this could save troubleshooting time; I hope that your thread is educational. However, some of us are clever enough to provide necessary info when seeking help but avoid spamming the forum with a huge signature when it serves no purpose.
No offense intended.

some of us are clever enough

Nice Work Que, Keep it up

done it already

Great idea, I ALWAYS thought this should have been right under a poster's
name and FORCED to be filled out just like your user name and password.
This will make things easier for most people. Although, I wish some people who get right of those giant signature pictures! Shameless, self-promotion SORRY, I voted for you to go to hell in the poll anyways!
Hahaha!

Great idea

I see it!!!
Go to hell 2 votes!!!
FUNNY!!!
Yes it is not crap info... so maybe when you get in troubbles maybe not in he same day you can take back functional your device... so let me save your name to obligate you to give us your info when you were in troubbles...
Its necessarly but no obligate I'm ok with forum rules so... do it. its for our benefit as I said. Keep our devices happy and functional Srs.
Thanks for the effort to all. Really apreciated.

An example...
I like my siggy as it is, however, if I have issues, I make certain I give ALL necessary info. Some who come here don't always realize that this info, whether listed in the thread posting, or in their siggy is vital for us to be able to help them. I don't think it should be REQUIRED in the siggy, but do absolutely agree that it needs to be put in the post!!
For those new to xda...an example of how to post for help without device specifications in the siggy...
TITLE- Bricked phone after spilling coffee on it (don't just say Help, bricked phone, give us a brief insight)
THREAD POST- Help I bricked my phone and am freaking out! I have a Wizard with IPL/SPL 2.26 (insert your info, found when booting, or in settings) and am running a custom rom by NTS--Jag 3.1 (insert name and chef of your custom rom, or tell us if it is stock). My radio is 2.37 (insert your radio, again found when booting or in settings). I spilled coffee on my device after dropping my phone and my coffee when I caught my significant other making out with our dog AND my best friend...or whatever you did to brick your phone. I have taken these steps to fix it...first I kicked my significant others ass, then I kicked my best friends ass, next I cried, then I prayed really hard that my phone wasn't dead, finally I tried to hard boot it...but it will not even go to the tri-color boot screen (insert steps you already took to remedy issue, and results you got from your actions). Am I screwed? Thank you in advance for your help.
PS- if you bricked your Wizard trying to install a custom rom...DID YOU UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE FIRST USING DIRECTIONS GIVEN IN STICKIED THREAD??? We need to know this info too, if it pertains to your devices issue.
OR---List your device specifications in your siggy before posting. Either way, we need to know this stuff if we are going to help you.

Yes but you are Senior

very usefull men! you will se the difference.

I agree this is a great thing. But my opinion is that it should be space limitated. Because some users do not have sensitive ratio. And it is always hard to orientate through the posts if signatures are much bigger than the posts itself So i made my signature (because it is very useful), but i made it discreet...

Why my picture its not showing up, Some help pls.

ask to mods or administrators please... maybe you dont have the correct extension .jpg or gif or bmp... check the file size and dimentions too..

Maybe there is a way to add space in our edit your details page to fill this information.
Then it could be extracted and placed on the title of our posts between out name and the service provider information like this:
+ Que PPC ......................Device Model, etc. ............................Join Date:
Senior Member ................IPL and SPL version ........................Location:

Posts: 772 ......................CID/SIM
........................................The Rom you are currently using
(sorry, had to add the dots to get spacing)

Good point!!!!
but it means redraw the CP... the Post design and it tooks too many time and efforts by the administrators of the site.
And they say it is not highly important for all devices you know some devices dont need to show this info cause is not relevant to ask for something (well I understands that) but is a nice point of view.

Thank you,
I kind of thought it would be a big undertaking now that everything is set up.

my sig would just be too long adding 7 devices with all spec

Unlocked AT&T TILT for canadian use.

I just purchased an unlocked used HTC 8925 (AT&T tilt... i dunno if they are the same thing) (*also it comes with windows mobile 6.1) on ebay and i was wondering if there are any programs or software that I is recommended to download. I've seen HTC home somewhere but i was wondering what version i should use with WM6.1. I'm a "noob" when it comes to Windows mobile but i wanted to try it for a new experience before i was constantly an Iphone user.
Also how do you back up the current Firmware or ROM of the phone just in case i make in mistake of modding it.
(links or guides will be extremely helpful please and thank you).

Here's some helpful links from an at&t tilt owner.
I hope these links help you get started!
I'm sure you saw the kaiser section of the forums, but here's a link anyway:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=376
(FYI, The kaiser and tilt are basically the same phone with the exception of the front camera)
The first few posts in this thread are full of helpful links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282
Finally here's the kaiser wiki page, there's a section specific to the tilt which you may want to look at:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
Read as much as you can & enjoy your new phone!

Unlocked AT&T use
Thank you!
Also Will upgrading the Unlocked ROM lock it again? and IF so how do you unlock it once more?

No, once you install hardspl you can flash as much as you want. I never had to sim unlock since I use at&t, however as far as I know the phone can't be relocked just by flashing a new rom.

Continuous Startup Problem

Hey guys, I am having a problem. My ATT Tilt is stuck on bootloader and will not load. I have flashed my ROM for the 5th time now and every time I turn off my device, it gets stuck on bootloader. I have used the HTC provided EXE Rom loader in their site. What can I do, please help.

I suppose when you post your question here is because you did read the wiki and the sticky threads about "how to flash", etc.
I suppose if you read those threads, you used the correct combination in radio, SPL, and ROM
So, if you did all those things, now you must only flash another ROM compatible with your SPL and Radio.
If you did not, then read those sticky threads and then try to unbrick your device. Then, try to write here what SPL, radio and ROM, etc. numbers appear on the boot screen so that somebody will tell you about taking the device to the technical service. (One thing I learned: no device gets stop on bootloader if everything inside it is in the correct combination)
