Hi guys.
I did it... i screwed up my QTek S100! I tried to upgrade it, maybe the wrong files, dunno... now it is *dead* ! I only get a dark screen with "SERIAL V1.00" or "USB V1.00" if docked (should be bootloader mode). Nothing else.
Would you please be so kind as to help me in recovering from the disaster ? I do not have any backup, nor ROMs. I own a 512 MMC.
I would need English Roms... pleeeese !!
Thanks a lot.

Do you still have the files you used to upgrade? What's the name of the file?
Also, leave the info on your previous ROM.
I had the same problem with my Qtek S100 when upgrading it with the new firmware. The upgrade process stopped/crashed the first time leaving my unit in the same state you're describing. But, what I did was simply to run the upgrade utility again and then it worked fine the second time.
I don't know where you're from but if you have a swedish unit like me you can get the latest upgrade utlity from this adress:

Here is my previous (and gone) configuration. It's hard to believe I can't re-flash it again. English ROM is my best wish...
I wish you could help me...
Oh! I have tried all "QTEK ROM WORKS" recent methods. I always get that Country Code Error and I do not saved the previous GetDeviceData output.

Looks like the same happened to me. Try to open battery cover (or remove battery for several second. Then put everything back and push Power button. Does it turns on (with hard reset)?
Nope buddy! The OS is gone! Whatever I try to do, it always starts in Bootloader mode (Serial V1.00/USB V1.00).
Try removing the battery for 30 minutes (or whatever time it takes for the backup battery to discharge). That should recover your previous configuration although I haven't tested it.
Thanks for your reply, macrinus, but, exactly, how do you believe the 'vanishing' OS is supposed to reapper ?
We must be talking about spiritism in here...

Backup ROM
Is there a way to make a backup of my rom?
I have the qtek s100 with english rom.
Purchased seperate.
rom 1.03.00 WWE
radio 1.05.00 (upgraded)
extrom 1.03.100 WWE
Had the same issue with my radio version upgrade.
Scared the hell out of me ...
Backlight did not lit up ...
And an error apeared on my pc ...
But I was able to upload it when I tried again and the sync program of ms was killed.
If anyone knows how to make a working back-up ...
I like to help.
Think it's interesting to see how everything works.
And ofcourse, if you worked it out already, let me know how ...
And what macrinus said wont work.
When you do a hard reset, you do exactly the same.
So I think it's all gone.
why not dump the os to sd card, ntrw to pc and then put the nb1 fille in the ftp........
Tell me how ...
Tell me how, and I will ...
Sounds like chinese to me buddy.
Just got this pocket pc for 3 days.
First time I use a ppc.
Is that with xbackup?
Then choose all data?
Or do you mean another way?
What is ntrw?
And how do I get it from the backup?
And also, how is he suposed to upload it to his ppc?
Am asking this all to get to know it for myself.
Need the basic information before I can actually do all this ...
ok, sorry, if you are new to this forum, maybe its time now to browse this forum using the "Search" . There are hundreds or maybe thousands really good topics / advices available in this forum, posted by experts.

Hello everybody!!!
I need help with my Himalaya... Tried to upgrade it to WM5, successful for a while but after a soft reset, it wont boot up properly. It stays stuck on the Windows Mobile boot screen, with both the bluetooth and power/signal light turning on/off alternately. Hard resetting it does not help, the same symptoms are still happening. I had to reinstall the WM5 ROM several times but the same problem now occurs everytime I have to soft reset the unit. I had to downgrade to wm2003, ROM 1.72.00WWE, Radio v1.17.00, extROM v1.72.181.
Can anybody help me on this? Thanks!

After upgrade, ensure you clear registry and format the storage. You may try to redo this by following the instructions in the last part of the installation document, as pasted below:
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

Also be aware that many backup software can corrupt an installation after recovery, even those that have a "Upgrade or Migration" feature. It is best to use PPCBckpContacts to restore your contacts and to use SMS BackupSoftware for your sms's, both can be found on this forum and both use standard databases instead of proprietary formats that could corrupt the WM5 databases.
on topic: i will have to bookmark this page in case i get the same problem when i upgrade

Hi mates
First of all i like to thank this group. that thread for falshing the ROM helped me and I have converted my Dutch MDA VARIO to english One. you know that when you just upgrade your PocketPC you are sort of getting addicted to upgrading and testing things. But I am now worried as I am very very much interested in going to WM6 from WM5. But the scariest part is the chances of getting your device bricked. I like to know what all of the experts in the group suggest me. which ROM I should try and then I even dont know any thing about the Pagepool I have asked this question a long time ago but didnt get any reply. so it will be nice if I some one can help me so that I can have WM6 on my device. It will be nice if there can be list of all the WM6 ROM but with some sort of rating like people installed, people appreciated,e tc. etc...
Thanks in advance.
Bye
Do you have a CID-unlocked device or not?
Dear cookie,
Don't worry about causing your device to not work because when something wrong happens during flashing, you can always set it back to the bootloader mode. This can be done by holding the camera button and pressing reset. Or if that cannot be done, remove the battery and reinsert it, then hold the camera button while pressing the power button once.
Hope this will allay your fears.
B. regards

yeh I have a CID unlocked device. I only know this since I have changed my device from Dutch ROm to WWE Rom using the method mentioned in the sticky. I flashed the button ROM and then 2.26 WWE UK and then now done the one mentioned in my signature.
and if I can reset to the original state then why every one is saying use his ROM but at your own risk or then why people report their device is bricked now??
hope that some one will help me get to WM6.
Regards and thanks

Have you read the wiki?

yes i have... not very helpful..
Very strange... can you enter in bootloader mode ??? if yes try to flash another rom...and see if use stable roms like tomal's 8.7 or 8.5... try hard resetting by going to settings and select "clearmemory" it should do a hard reset...
