Hello All,
Firstly let me apologize if this has been answered already, but after hours and hours of reading I am still unclear on a few points.
I want to be able to take a complete backup of my Stellar before I update anything in case of any future problems, so that if need be I can revert it back to the same state as it is in now before sending it back to O2.
1 - Is this feasible / possible?
2 - I know I can unpack and repackage the OS ROM, but what about the radio / spash logo & SPL?
3 - Can all the CID, Security and SIM locks be replaced if required?
Can anyone recommend the best course of action for me to take, so that I can dump everything first, in a format that can be easily re-flashed, before I start to load HardSPL etc and then suddenly find I am S.O.L and cant return one component to the original version..
If anyone would like copies of the original Firmware / Logo / Radio etc after I manage to dump them.. I'll be more than willing to share - provided you dont mind giving me hand with dumping etc
FYI - Here are the Versions on my device:
Radio: 1.27.12.32
Protocol: 22.45.88.07H
ROM Version (from Bootscreen): 1.82.00.00
ROM Version (from Device Info): 1.82.206.1 WWE
ROM Date: 10/04/2007 (Not sure if thats 10 April or 4 Oct)
WM6 Pro. CE 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
Model No.: Kaiser
Thanks in advance...
you could try searching, someone has probably done all the dirty work in dumping and reconstructing the o2 rom already

From what I can tell, but I may be mistaken, this ROM is a different version to the Shipped / Reconstructed ones on the Kaiser Wiki...
Also, the splash logo on my Stellar, is definately different to the O2 splash logo that is available via download... Mine shows a 'wireframe landscape' while the other is the same bubbles splash that I had on my Wizard (O2 Xda Mini-S)...
I have a Stellar and would love a copy of the O2 ROM as I have flashed without backing up so if you manage it I'd be in the queue for a copy.
there is a rom available, but it doesnt restore the spl or the front splash screen. anyway these could be extracted?
hi
where is the rom located?
O2 Stellar ROM
seconded! I too now need the ROM, but have searched the site and the FTP to no avail, anyone have a dumped ROM that they can point me too please...
TIA

Dear fellows,
I am still at a dead point (my S100 is screwed and the OS is gone!)
I have seen several methods listed here to reflash the OS but most of them require the GetDeviceData output file to modify the original ROMs. Unfortunately I can't run anything on my PDA... It would be a great help if a kind S100 owner would run the GetDeviceData on his handset and post the output file for me. Do not worry, it doesn't hold any sensitive data. Just device model details. Any S100 device, any language... would suffice.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Silver.
...at least the Operator for QTEK...
C'mon guys... help me.
Here ya go...
Operator ID: DANGA001
Qtek S100 bought at Dangaard Norway.
Thanks...
...but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe an Italian PDA would be required.
I am afraid I have to send the PDA back to the service...
Maybe you can try the following:
- Set your Qtek in Bootloader mode
- Connect it to your pc
- Start the update program of the Qtek ROM 1.06
- The installer will not find any version of your current ROM because it is in bootloader mode, but it will allow to update it
- flashing...
- done
Hopefully it'll work for you.
And I will test it further, but this looks like the way to update the ROM without editing the ROM files...
The other alternative that worked for me:
I have a Dopod 818 ROM which I screwed up. I can't therefore read its country code with GetDeviceData.
I used the following to flash the i-mate ROM:
http://www.clubimate.com/Support/ma_cdlsku1_wwe_10300_143_10100_ship.exe
Then I upgraded with qtek 1.06 successfully.
I got Jam and running 1.12.00 WWE ROM and 1.12.10 Radio 1.12.128 ExtROM . Last weeks i have tried to install BRS and i have succeeded but after a while i decided to original shipped ROM ( mentioned above ). Right after all these changings, my device started to fail getting SMS messages ( but sending without any problem ), i think while these tunings something went wrong or something and it caused this problem ( certainly its not about my SIM card or of its settings ). So here is my question : i wanna upgrade my device to the newest shipped ROM as well as the newest Radio vers. , in order to fulfill my aim what files ( i mean which ROM and Radio version and other needed apps etc. ) do i have to have and may i get them from xda ftp ? And my last request from you dear Masters, can this upgrade manage to solve my SMS problem ? This situation is getting very important for me day by day, its itching my brain every moment.
i dont think your sms problem is caused by the ROM. i did use 1.12, and had no sms problem like yours. now im using 1.13 rom and radio (but no ext rom), which i believe are the latest for magician at the moment. find them on the FTP. thanks
O2 Settings
Hi,
I've just upgraded to the O2 Big Storage Rom (WWE_O2_1.12.00.zip from the FTP), I was expecting (probably naiively) to have all the O2 settings etc to be installed as well.
There's no O2 customisation whatsoever and I don't even have the option for MMS in my messaging Folder.
Is there any way to just get the latest O2 Mini Rom?
Or to at least get the settings - i'm assuming that they all come from the extended rom? If so, how should I go about installing that?
I have searched and there's so much going on, it all gets a bit daunting.
Thank you for your help in advance

hi does anyone have the official release of orange rom from uk? i can't find it because i want to flash imy phone back on it's own factory settings. thank you
There is no official release of the Orange UK ROM, but I did create an installable ROM from a dump of my Orange UK TyTN II before I started flashing. It can be got from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
thank you... but i m still having same problem with sim lock ....
You flashed a different Radio ROM didn't you.. That Sim-Locks Orange TyTNII's.
Check the stickies for the SIM Unlocker which is what you'll need to do to fix it.. Note that there is no Orange UK Radio ROM available and so you'll have to flash a different one.
I'd dump mine but:
a) It wont be the version you had anyway's as I seem to be the only person with 1.27.14.32 on Orange UK..
b)I've not actually seen a way to rebuild the Radio ROM even if I did dump it.
oh... finaly... unlocked... now i guess i can flash what rom i want?

No no no, I had (ephasis on had) that rom and really need a dump of it. I know I cant easily reconstruct into a flashable rom but I'd like to have a dump to be able to play with ready for when one of the brain boxes on here comes up with a solution for reconstructing a dumped radio.
So... do you still stand by your offer to dump your radio? I'd be ever so grateful

You can indeed flash anything you want
I've seen a few of these questions on the forum but each one had deffrent answers depending on the version.
I was following this guide Wizard Windows Mobile for newbies and all was going well until one of the links went out and I could not find the T-mobile Official WM5 ROM, so after trying a ton of different roms/flashers I got anxious, mis read and installed "[ROM] Prophet S4V.19213.01 (Clean)" Now I cant get past the splash screen.
It's a Cingular 8125 with IPL: 10.1 and SPL: 1.08
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I was able to enter boot loader mode and I was able to go back to the begging of the tuttorial and flash Button ROM to the phone, How all I need is a suggestion of a rom to use instead of the T-mobile Official WM5 ROM

EDIT:EDIT:
nevermind I found another host for the file RUU TMobile US WWE Ship.exe
Last Edit:
I updated the Wiki page to reflect the new link.
I was reading the Wiki/FAQ and found this thread and still have some questions on the ROM Radio configuration.
I have a tilt I got from work and the reception is attrocious, so I am under the impression that the ATT ROM and Radio have more affinity for the ATT network than Tmobile (which is my guess because my old Wing had much better signal). What I notice from the list of Kaiser ROMs (on the Wiki) is the only official Tmobile ROMs are for the Netherlands and the UK. My guess is that I wouldn't want to load those since I live in the US, plus the official OS build is 19124 in the ATT tilt instead of 19212 in the other builds.
My question is: Can I mix other Radios to better work on the Tmobile network? Do I need to clear my ROM from the official ATT to another HTC ROM? Does the ROM clear the Windows build so there wouldn't be a compatibility issue, or does it only work for the cell phone service (device communication portion sort of like a DOS on windows 98) and therefore the OS build is independant of the ROM and Radio? Do ROMs and Radios need to be properly paired or can I trial and error it?
I've been looking for some of the answers but the weren't overly appearant from the FAQ and Wikis. Hopefully I didn't gloss over the easy answers somewhere on the site.
Any thoughts? I can start doing the trial and error method, but if I can get some confirmation that I won't brick my phone that would be awesome. Also, if there is any general "method to the madness" in terms of trying the Radios out, I would appreciate it.
This is where you should start:
Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom
The most important consideration for flashing any phone: MAKE SURE YOU HARD SPL (if you are using a Tilt, I recommend 3.56 as that is what AT&T officially used in their last ROM). That way, if you screw up a flash, you can just flash to another radio/ROM without worrying about bricking your phone. Press the Camera+Power button+use your stylus to reset the phone to bootloader to see if your phone is already Hard SPL'd. You should see a 3.28, 3.29, 3.34, or 3.56 at the top left of the screen when the tricolor screen pops up; you can just reset your phone after looking to get back to your OS). If, and only if, your phone is Hard SPL'd, read on...
>Can I mix other Radios to better work on the Tmobile network?
Of course. For example, I am using the emobile radio (1.71.09.01) on my Tilt. See: The Ultimate Radio Thread for more.
>Do I need to clear my ROM from the official ATT to another HTC ROM?
No, you can flash the radio only if you want.
>Does the ROM clear the Windows build
Not if you're flashing just the radio.
>...and therefore the OS build is independant of the ROM and Radio?
The OS build is independent of the radio. Best to think of the ROM as the OS, and the radio as how your OS communicates with your phone...
>or can I trial and error it?
That's the whole point of flashing just the radio--finding which one works best for you.
Thank you for the information. I verified the Hard SPL (3.56) so it looks like I am good on that front.
I just want to verify something you said before I actually do this (since the RUU tutorial told me ROMs can brick my phone and you mentioned Radios are similar in that fashion). The radios listed from the Ultimate ROM/Radio Thread are listed by WMx.x version, not by the associated ROMs. Since I am using the officially released ROM from ATT my version of WM is 6.1, therefore any of the Radios under the 6.1 header are available for flashing to my phone.
Is that correct?
Thanks again and in advance.
Anyone know of a new link for the latest Hard SPL 3.56? I keep on trying to download on rapidshare and I am denied (cause I am a non-subscriber). If there is a mirror that anyone knows of I would appreciate it. I keep searching around and cannot find one.
