Hi!
Anyone have my phone or similar and know which Cotulla rom I should upgrade with? I only have 2003SE and have an iPhone 3g and to be honest disappointed with it!! Will be in the market for a new smartphone/ppc soon but atm would be interested in breathing some new life into this old phone. I don't use much data (grps) but have the Sandisk Wificard which I use at hotspots, etc. English rom aswell, thanks!
Thanks very much!!
Barry
EDIT: Uggh.. just realised my Sandisk 256mb+WIFI card only works with 2003 and below!! ( Guess no way to get it working on wm6??
2nd EDIT: Doh.. just realised you can only upgrade with XP!! Any chance of Windows 2k? I have only got Vista and 2k.. I presume the reason for XP is for the ActiveSync? Thanks
These would oughta work and fills your requirements

Sorry bout the Vista part it seems unless you search a round abit, the USB drivers on Vista don't seem to work properly. You could try flashing on Windows 2000. It's either it will or it won't detect the phone during the RUU's detecttion procedure

Hey there. I used this site a couple of months ago to upgrade to WM5, and it worked just fine, (only problem was sim manager was missing).
Turns out my Destinator can't run on WM5, and my primary motive for buying the xda was GPS capability, so i REALLY need to either download some software with aussie maps that will run on WM5, or revert to 2K3 and use my legit copy.
Please help =)
sorry guys.... Really need to get it back to 2003
have you tried the normal way ?

hi rudegar. thanks for the link. not sure what to do with it though? is there not a package like there was for WM5 to install? like, can I download 2k3 that will re-write itself over WM5?
i'm in way over my head here. sorry to be a pain.
grab a 2003 rom off the ftp

Thanks Mate.
What are the risks of putting the wrong rom on?
I have the stock standard 02 XDA2 (i think thats the himalaya to you guys? I'm from Oz...)
So I've gone for the Qtek 1.75 english rom which i think looks like the most likely one mine would use. Please advise... it's downloading currently.
not sure if it would accept a wrong rom at all
but it's the himalaya rom you need
and 1.75 is the latest official english rom
Hi all,
These forums have been a great help over the last months, but I recently re-flashed my device to start with a clean slate, so I used the T-mobile 1.13 NL version (which, for whatever reason, is actually english).
For whatever reason, my spectec wifi card is no longer working. The device still sees tha card, but is cannot connect to any networks. I read a random post on another site that t-mobile is intentionally blocking the use of wifi on the rom, but I find that hard to believe since my brother has a T-mobile device with the wifi working full well, and since T-mobile themselves operate commercial hotspots.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do you know of any drivers for your Wi-Fi card? The T-Mobile ROM may lack some fringe features such as these... try finding and installing them first. (And no, I don't actually have a wi-fi card but I thought I should just say something helpful first )
Hi,
I hv the same problem as well after upgrading to 1.13ROM+1.13 Radio & big storage. I am using Spectec 802.11b WLAN card n downloaded the driver from spectec website, mine is a Dopod 828+. Anyway your guide on the magician ROM upgrade is a lifesaver! Kudos to you, toomuchdogfur!!

Well there you go!
And thanks for that ! Though you might want to put that post on the guide's thread, as its continuosly being buried by all the questions (I really wish someone would sticky it!).
I am the owner of an O2 XDA Orbit...I have seen the light and I'm about to take delivery of a "Stellar" / "Kaiser" from O2 hopefully tomorrow....
I have flashed dozens of ROMS across my Orbit and have no worries about that side of things....but...
I have also started using Vista Ultimate and know that there are issues with the Orbit and Vista, where drivers need updated etc...
Are there similar issues with the Stellar / Kaiser I should know about, there appears to be little or no reference to Vista issues with the exception of zipped file extraction.
I'm planning on using one of Dutty' latest ROMS and have Hard SPL ready and waiting.
Do I need to use XP or will Vista's Mobile Device Centre handle the activesync side of the connection....
I know this sounds like a noob style question so I'm standing by....
I too went from an Orbit to a Kaiser just recently. If you have previously flashed your Orbit using Vista you will have no problems. Otherwise, the best option I have found is to download the ROM you want installed and flash it using SD card method. Totally eliminating the need for an activesync/WMDC connection.
Before you do anything. YOU MUST FLASH HARDSPL BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE !!!!
i have just got a t mobile MDA compact V aka a HTC touch diamond 2? anyway so far its useless.. bluethooth link to pc offers nothing but a serial conection,and from pc to phone i get the networking and file transfer. what the heck? my old artemis (xda orbit) had alot of things like the wireless stereo, HID options etc. and as for wifi, it seems to ignore the fact its connected to my home network (although it says connected) when using programs that need to go online, such as copilot amd the windows update. the phone has been fully reset back to factory settings. so whats going on here? is it because its a t mobile one that half of these things arnt on it? i would of thought the orbit would of been the same since its an 02 phone but nope it works better than this one!
um hello? lol you cant tell me not one of you know whats up here? how the hell can a phone from 2k6 out do, and have more features than a 2k9 one. WHATS WRONG WITH IT!!! also note, im using the same pc hardwere to talk to both phones and even a back up XDA mini, both xdas do everything well.
now, if i was to flash this thing, possably update tyo wm 6.5 (6.1 atm) would it, A. get rid of the t-mobile branding and B. work as you would expect it to!?
stress levels reising. please shed some light on this for me.
tia.
i forgot to follow this up for you all.. turns out there was indeed an issue with the softwere, somone may of tampered with it before and mesed things up. oh well i sold it to the local phone shop for almost what i paid for it so no loss
Hello, this is my first post, so im not sure if this is the right place.
So... I have a qtek 9100 that i got from a cousin, he had a weird version of wm installed on it, that consumed a lot of battery and the device was always on heat (i mean it was hot). I installed an xda mobile 6 (wm6 cooked by nefraz) and i want to downgrade it to wm5 again, so i can install another OS. I am not sure about if my device is g3 or g4, i have looked up in the forum and i have seen that i could kill my device, (i didnt see that when i installed the xda mobile 6, so i guess i was lucky), now... the spl and ipl says that i got 3.08, but how this tells me if this is g3 or 4? i saw that i could see this by the number of zeros, but i saw the example only with 1xx or 2xx... not 3, im not sure about doing anything without knowing what im doing because of the killing thing xD... IN SUMMARY, how to downgrade to 1.01 since 3.08 wm6? or how i install a better version? i dont like this one, looks like vista and its pretty slow. Hehe...
Thanks (btw, sorry my english sucks)
Edit... Lol, just installed the Wm6.5 and thats it, no risk on killing (i think so) and works perfectly, thx anyway.
