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.

yes i can conferm it is avalible. i went into "Name Censored" today and the technitian "Name Censored" has a magician branded as i mate jam. he noticed my mda compact (o2 rom) and asked what OS im runing on so i said WM2003Se and he proceeded to show me his jam running WM5 i asked him where he obtained the rom and he claimed from imate themselfs.. they have relesed the update for the jam users. but you need a jam phone to obtain this update...
anyone with a jam phone check this out and share the rom?
thanks
on the Clubimate ftp site (ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/) there is a file called:
JAM_UK_Aus_11200_171_11210.exe
dated 25/8/2005 ..... I don't know what it is especially the "Aus" acronym...
Anyone interested in trying this rom?
bye!
I am downloading right now. I will try the upgrade as soon as possible but I wouldnt get my hopes up because that would be too good to be true! I will update soon.
If the one on the imate site isnt WM5, any chance you could get him to dump it?
sorry for the multi posts there, Im not sure whats going on. I am at 29MB of the 44MB file. Yes, ask "Name Censored" to make his WM5 available for all to share9just in case)
Any word on this yet, i'm not holding up any hopes... BUT it would be nice!!!

i personally cannot download the file i would test it but i dont have access to imate, i have mda unlocked with o2 rom, but if the imate link isnt hte rom yes i will get a romdump from his device but acording to "Name Censored" (the cute girl whos number i got in "Name Censored") he wont be in until tuesday so we would have to hold out... thats only if the imate link isnt the rom like he claimed. although i can conferm his jam was becuae i checked the settings and version, and the genral interface.. and im not wm5 shy so its a 100% diagnosis of the OS. keep me updated on the Imate rom. if not i shal romdump from his jam. the file will be 256mb as standard though.

i have got the JAM_UK_Aus_11200_171_11210.exe on my imate jam
its a WM2003 not a WM2005
dont waste your time there is no WM2005 for the Magician
All,
Had to restart download(frikin unstable crap) but now at 75% again. Will start process asap. Will keep you informed.

I asked the online LIVE support of Imate just now, and they claimed it's NOT possible and NOT truth that they have a WM5 OS upgrade?? :shock:
Well all,
I have started it, will let you know.
If it isnt WM5, can you post the specs ofthe rom so we know how up to date it is?
Done!

Bro forget about the Imate site , You have a working device that has the WM5.0, dump it and then we can try to get it from Imate. Thus, I have access to imate roms, and especially to the Jams but I don't believe it's the wm2005!!!
Here's the ROM links from Imate in which I believe they are wm2003se:

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
Hey all,
My wizard is about 1 year old, and I'm getting the need for an upgrade.
I was thinking about trying a WM6 ROM, but can't decide if I should.
My question really are:
1. Is it worth it? Will it feel any different than WM5, other than just new look?
2. What are the chances of bricking the device during the upgrade?
Thanks a lot..

Let me just say that in January I was ready to throw my Wizard (8125) in the trash. I hated the phone as it was the worst purchase I ever made. It was unreliable, dropped calls, and reset for no reason all the time. It became for me just a PDA, and even then one I barely used since it would reset everytime I started to really need it (or so it seemed). My Nokia 6620 was far more reliable and useful than my 8125 ever was (but due to contracts and prices, getting a new replacement wasn't really an option for me, but I did figure out how to SIM unlock my Nokia 6620 so I was looking at going back to it). Since I had decided to go back to the 6620, I remembered hearing about people flashing custom roms on their Wizard devices, and decided to come back to XDA-Dev (I had found it last September but the term "brick" scared me off), and give it a shot. What was the worst that could happen? Brick it? I was ready to trash it anyway so who cared.
I read everything and decided to give the Faria AKU3.3 a try (WM6 was brand new out and I was intemidated by things I was reading). After I successfully CID Unlocked and then flashed the Tmobile 2.26 rom (which I found hilarious on a Cingular device) I then did AKU 3.3. All I can say is, the rest is history. My eyes were opened. Suddenly this phone became what it was supposed to have been when I bought it. It was fast and reliable. All of my issues (resets, hangs, and dropped calls) were all gone!
So at a minimum, CID Unlock (if you ahve a G3) and put a custom WM5 rom on. You will NOT be disappointed...
But then the ROM flashing bug took over and I'm firmly into WM6 now. I don't think I can ever think about going back to WM5. I just like the feel and ease of things in WM6 (but at first some things I did not like so it takes time to get used to some of the changes).
So good luck in what you decide. Most claim after upgrading to mine (or many other of the custom roms here) that their phone has new life and it stalls the need to switch to buying a new device... Yeah, I'll probably move to an 8525 (Hermes) sometime, but right now my little Wizard is my best buddy and as important to me as my work computer. I use it for everything now...

yeah. sounds like an wm5 or something like that.
yep,I think it s WM5 3.3
haha!
Guess what, i sure did go back to wm5 mainly because of phone unreliability!
The interesting find-
The phone crashes up in wm5 too (((
Now, is it the radio rom which is screwed up? What could it be, now i sure am clueless :-?
The problem is - my phone goes to sleep with me at night, I wake up, and my phone doesnt! Only the radio portion is dead, and the rest of the device is usable.
Is there any tool like a "LOW LEVEL FORMAT" on my uni? So that i can wipe out ever resident bit on it to get it to a virgin state?
Hmmm....now this is getting crazy for sure! Guess I'll try changing the radios and see if something works....
San
I have exactly same problem. I think the GSM radio is bust... I ordered new mother board after many attempts at flashing, repairing...
Will report when I get it,

Hi San,
1. Out of curiosity, what Radio version are you using with wm5?
2. Is it the same Radio version provided by the seller of your Universal brand?
3. If not, than can you flash the original Radio version version provided by the seller of your Universal brand and see the difference then?
KOR!
Hey!
I made no changes, continued running in 1.17 radio.....and hasnt crashed as yet The same config crashed last morning, and hasnt crashed since then....it looks very stable so far, no soft resets at all :-/
I hate wm5 for many many reasons, i'm thissss close to jumping back...
I miss the phone app of wm6, miss the keyboard shortcuts all over (messaging app mainly!) and quick searching feature. I'll try cooking a custom wm5 rom with wm6's phone and messaging app when i have some time, if that works, then that would be just perfect!
@KOR
Its 1.17 radio....looks like its working fine now! will wait a while longer and post in....looks like wm5 is no doubt much more stable when compared to wm6
San
Hey guys...
Giving it a go - merging wm6 features with a wm5 rom! Lets see how that goes, i hope i dont end up bricking my device
Cheers,
San
Disappointment
It throws "cprog.exe is not a valid Pocket PC Application" and the phone module does not power up at all :-/
Looks like wm6's phone app is not designed to run on wm5. Can someone else with more experience give a shot at this?
Cheers,
San

hi, for my case, i have based the last official xv6700 rom aku v3.3, it is wm5, and i downloaded Microsoft Device Emulator wm6. my idea is wm6 os, with official wm5 hardware driver. put wm6 os to replace wm5 os in the aku v3.3 rom.
i still have not to start move any files. because i don't know what is files need to moves.
regards.
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a AT&T WM 6.0 rom for the cingular 2125. So then I wouldnt have to perform a CID unlock.
Thanks!
No
sorry dude there arent any official roms containing wm6 for cingular 2125, just the ones that u see in the fourums. I was afraid of changing my cid but at the end I did it, nothing bad happened to my phone. i have nitrous wm6 version installed on my phone and it works great, the only thing that i noticed is that battery is running out 30% more than it used to. but all that u gain compared to that its nothing. by the look of your nick you seem to speak spanish by the way i do too if you need anything or have any questions
