Hey Guys!
Basically I would like to upgrade my O2 (UK) XDA Mini S to WM6. I am finding all the topics and different roms confusing, especially when I am worried that I may get a rom which only works for American devices. Could anyone throw some links my way for a suitable rom and possible flashing instructions?
Thanks!
Basically all the latest custom build wm6 Roms are good for both Uk & USA builds,there's no specific Uk build Rom,they work perfectly for all wizards,regardless being a Uk or American device.
To upgrade to wm6,its required to have a CID unlocked phone. Read the 'Stickies' in the 'Wizard Upgrading' forum for unlocking and flashing a Rom.
Cheers!

I've been reading a few post on firmware update, but am getting really confused with all thats out there.
I have just got a UK T-Mobile MDA Compact, has there been any firmware updates for it? Can't seem to find any on their website.
I want to update my rom to the Qtek 1.11 firmware mentioned on other post, but instructions are scattered all over the place and files are really hard to find.
Would it be possible for someone to post the necessary files needed to update a MDA to Qtek firmware, and simple steps to follow.
I would be extremely greatful as I am new to all of this and I think it would also benefit a lot of people.
Thanks
it is explained a lot of times, just do some reading!!
problem is a lot of the download links are broken and does not exsits on the ftp site
I'd agree that the process of uprading the ROM is to be found in several threads on this site (although finding a location for the files is harder!), but what I've not seen explained clearly is the process to backup the original T-Mobile ROM and how to restore this if it all fails.
What do you use to backup the T-Mobile ROM and how can that be restored?
What T-Mobile specific settings need to be carried over to any new ROM and how is this done?
Hi..
I am rather new in this area. I have an MDA compact (imate JAM). What I want to know is why do u want to upgrade the ROM..? what are the advantages of doing it.? :roll:
Hi,
I went through a lot of old posts, but still have some confusions that hopefully you guys can help me out.
I just brought a used imate jam 900/1800/1900 last week. It's running ROM version 1.03.00 WWE Radio version 1.01.00 ExtROM version 1.03.141 WWE. I wanted to upgrade the firmware but i don't have access to imate.com. The guy who sold me the phone had already registered the IMEI # and I'm having problems contacting him.
I have some questions regarding the upgrades.
1) I checked the xda ftp site for new ROMS under Magician/Shipped ROMs folder, but i'm not sure if the ROMs are brand specific. (Imate/Qtek/Mini?) Is there any listing of the different shipped versions of the ROM. (I have seen something like that on a wiki page for Blueangel, but cannot find one for the magician) Does it matter if the phone band is 900 or 850 when you apply the ROMs?
2) If I don't want to go through the patching of the ROM (Since i'm still new to it), is it true that if i find the right brand/version of the shipped rom update that i can just run the upgrade exe file to flash the ROM and I'll be fine?
3) I read a lot of old post regarding backup/upgrade. It seems to be that the d2s command without supplying the address will only backup the ROM but not the ExtROM or Radio. Does anyone know what the correct series of commands to backup everything? The ones that i saw seems to be XDA II specific, and i thought the Magician has a different ROM layout (I saw it somewhere on the wiki page)
4) In general, any things to watch out for while doing the upgrades? What is the most stable version so far? I have heard that 1.11 is more stable than 1.12.
Thanks a lot guys. I can't wait to upgrade my phone b/c i'm deferring all my installs until after the upgrade so i'm using it purely as a phone now but still liking it.
Hey,
Sorry for the stupid question, but I just can't find the info I'm looking for. I've checked the wiki and a lot of threads here but can't figure it out.
The wiki links to the FTP to show two ROMs I could download, but doesn't explain anything about them.
RUU_Prophet_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Am I right to guess that the first one is a very old version and the second one is the latest? If the second one is the latest, is it not available at clubimate just because clubimate is out of date? Also, shayd linked to JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip in a recent thread saying it's the latest official. If the ones in the wiki aren't official, what are they?
I'm currently running 2.13.9.23 on a G4 JAMin. This is what I put on from clubimate not long after I got the phone.
Also, I've looked at a few of the custom ROMs floating around here and they're interesting. However, I know that I don't know enough about this to just try upgrading to one, for fear of bricking my phone. Is there a recommended one, and would it void my warranty?
Thanks, and sorry again for the stupid questions.
As you probably know by now, the HTC prophet is sold (among others) by Qtek as S200 and by imate as Jamin. Hardware is identical so ROMS are compatible too. What you found on ftp are official ROMS by Qtek (ver 2.09 and ver 2.2).
Imate's latest version is 2.13, which is what you have installed at the moment.
Dopod's latest version is 2.15, while Qtek's latest version is 2.2. They're all official ROMS and will work on your device providing it's CID unlocked (search forum for CID unlocking). Just FYI, CID locking is used to prevent you from loading other carrier's ROMs.
Regarding customised ROMS, yes they're interesting but unfortunately they all have bugs.
Qtek's latest version 2.2

Thus meaning that, as I have an Imate JAMin, I could install Qtek's latest version 2.2 and it would be OK? Where do I find that??? Thanks in advance.
Thanks kta.
When i-mate's v2.13 is compared to the qtek v2.2, are those numbers relative to each other, or just arbitrary? I'm asking so that I can figure out if 2.2 is actually better than 2.13.
Also, am I right to assume that if my phone died while qtek's 2.2 rom was on there, my warranty would be void?
cheers,
James

You will be OK if you update it with Qtek's 2.2. There is one on xda ftp here: ftp://xda:[email protected]_S200_2.20.7.34_2.47.21_2.20.7.114_WWE.zip.
To avoid the ROM update utility telling you "Wrong Country ID" or something like that, make sure you use a ROM Update Utility with No vendor Id (probably included in the zip file).

Hi James,
The version numbers are relative to each other and Qtek's 2.2 is a better version based on a more recent WM5 release.
Regarding warranty, well, you'd have to check what Imate's policy is. I never had an imate myself but I had a similar experience with a T-Mobile device. I sent it back for repair under warranty and it had another carrier's ROM and they didn't complain. But Imate's policies could be different.
Thanks heaps kta. Very informative. I'll contact i-mate.
Quick question...
Does anyone know if qtek's 2.2 ROM has the laggy SIP switch popup issue?
Hello, I have looked here for the official HTC TYTN II rom. I want the one that came with the device or the latest OFFICIAL rom (I don't think that the 6.1 verisions are official, but maybe I'm wrong). This link lists the official roms, but I am not sure which one is the original one??
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
If I flash the Australia rom, will it work still here in the US? This looks like the latest official rom, but I really want the WWE version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346267
Also, I have a TILT and I am going to HardSPL and SIM unlock, which one do I do first?? I had the 8525 and I remember doing the SIM/CID unlock first I think?
Do I need to use this SuperCID and Security unlock as well if all I want to do is flash new roms and SIM unlock??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361236
Oh, I almost forgot, why do some people post the .rar files and not the .exe, so much easier using .exe isn't it??
Thanks!!

The rom your phone came with if it is a tilt is one of the att ones on the site your first link leads to.
Hadspl and simunlock, don't matter which you do first just make sure you hardspl before trying to load a cooked rom from this site (and trust me it's worth going with a cooked rom over the att variants)
No supercid needed on the kaiser.
rar is much smaller then exe (rar is an archieve that has the files compressed)
Hello there! I just got off the phone with HTC tech support. They say they have no "official" release for WM6.1 and no date for a release either.
Also, they told me the newest "official" rom= 1.56.405.5
And radio= 1.27.12.11
Which is found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/5781641...dio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar.html
Anyone know how to get this in the .exe format?? I am a bit of a noob and I am used to using the .exe format to flash.
BTW manimore, I know what you are saying about the cooked roms, and I would definitely go with them over the AT&T crap; however, I like the look and reliability of the "official" HTC roms, like the one for the TYTN II.
Do we have any official HTC TYTN II roms besides the one above that the tech guys at HTC don't know about??
Thanks for the advice!
Manimore, I just reread your post. I was talking about official TYTN II roms, not anything for the Tilt.
What about this one?
1.83.631.4 (radio 1.27.15.32) Rogers Rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364789
Is this also a WWE official release for TYTN II?? What is Rogers??

Rogers is the only GSM carrier in Canada. However, they don't currently offer the TyTN II, last time I checked (I was at a dealer yesterday, and looked on the website as I composed this post), so I'm not sure what to make of this.
Rogers is a weird beast, in some areas they are far ahead of the competition; We have name display (like a landline, you'll see the name of the caller as well as the number, when available), unlimited incoming plans (like Europe, but without raping the person calling you), nation-wide 3G (major markets), but in other areas they are way behind the times (handset selection is pathetic at best, account termination penalties of up to $900, customer service reps are all over the map, from don't-speak-English to telepathic, etc)
Can someone link me to the latest proper T-mobile UK rom please? So I can restore it all back to stock.
I need to send phone in for repair, lost where I dumped my rom. I can only find on the wicki/on here links to NL T-Mobile roms.
T-Mobile site has nothing for the mdaIII (kaiser).
Much appreciated,
Greg.
Failing that - anyone got a T-Mobile UK rom they dumped from their own phone?
Greg.
Found this on Google. If it's what your after, can you let us know and someone (or you) will upload it and update the wiki.

What about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2 (6th one down i think) taken from the FAQ, Wiki, Stickies & Tutorials thread? is that one not any good?
paradoox
Paradoox - it might be, thankyou. But it is listed as OS Only Big Storage - I presume this isn't how T-mobile shipped my Kaiser. The other one DaveShaw is listed as OS only so I presume it won't put my radio/splash back etc, like the one above.
Are either any use do you think if I want to put my Kaiser back exactly as it was out the box?
Greg.
hiya,
iv flashed the reconstructed rom iv refered to before, and it works fine, the original tmobile splash screen is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374190 (post 5). im supposing you know how to flash it
in regards to the original radio, i honestly cant remember what it was. check out the kaiser ultimate radio thread, if i find out, il let you know.
paradoox
p.s the rom is reconstructed but as far as im aware its exactly the same as a normal release rom, its just someone has taken the tmobile uk operating system end product from a kaiser and made it into a rom as it has not been officially released. it flashes in exactly the same way as you'd flash anything else.
i have sent mine back one with a duttys rom on it, the technical support are that stupid they probably dont even know that flashing software on the device is even possible
i would say as long as u have the tmobile splash rom on it and 6.0, they wont even know the difference

sorry from my bad english....
