I have installed the rom update 1.72.00WWE on a Qtek 2020. It works fine. However I do have a view remarks. I dont see any changes. I thought windows 2003 second edition was installed. The external rom version is 172.125. If I start TomTom3 when the wired GPS is not connected, I get the message "Can not open COM1. Port does not exist". Fortunaly it works well when I connect it. Does anyone know why I do not see any changes in 1.72

Hi,
I think that you have make a backup before to install the update & that you have tryed to reinstall your backup after the update.
You have to remain that if you make a backup, you are not able to restore your backup after.
If you do this, you will overwrite some programs (mms,...)
If not give me more details.
Kind regards,
Update from pocetpc-club works fine.
I updated my QTEK with the file as mentioned. It worked fine. Restoring an old backup is not a problem, but doesn't give a full backup, because you restore the old files. So you really have to install everything new.
As far as I can see, there are no problems with the update.

Does this ROM update the bootloader?
Hi,
Has any of you who have upgraded to this ROM checked if it also does upgrade your bootloader to 1.06?
Regards,
Mark
Hello,
Mine has upgraded the bootloader to v1.10.

Upped and running on i-mate + qtek 1.72 ROMs but still 1.01 here.
Sorry, my mistake , my bootloade is V1.14 with the Dangaard 1.72 ROM.
cheers
@Raphael
Are you sure you'are looking at the right place? Haven't heard yet of booloader newer than 1.06 yet. But that doesn't ofcourse mean that it doesn't exist.
Mark
hmm, it seems that someone is mixing up radio stack and bootloader. have never heard of bootloader newer than 1.06 but radio stack 1.10 1.14 and even 1.17 (in some german replacement devices with 1.72.01GER) is out so far.
greetings from black forrest
peter
Sorry, You're right, had a mix up:V.1.02
No w I start to be ashamed of this mix up.
Cheers
:lol:
Just did a soft reset on mine with ROM 1.72 and I can insure you that
Radio is 1.14
I don't know how to find the "bootloader version" ?
so long
there are two ways of finding bootloader version:
1. you hold power-, 4-way rocker switch and soft-reset and your device goes into bootloader mode (and by the way all of your data is lost, so backup your device before doing that)
2. browse around xda-developers forum and find a tool that is called safebootloader.exe or something like that. this file must be copied to your device. start it and it writes a file where informations about the bootloader is in. open that file with a hex-editor e.g. and you can see the version.

OK Guys. Problem Solved : Dead devices due to tmob 1.72 + Downgrade
Problem: New version changes Device ID, as well as ID format.
If you upgrade to tmob 1.72, you cannot downgrade back, as you cannot supply valid NBF files for the new device ID. If you try to play around, you end up with a very dull bootloader screen "Serial V.1.06", and nothing more can be done. SD card images cannot be flashed due to the same reason.
Untill our developers come up with a simple tool, the following 2 solutions can be used to get out of the disaster:
Solution 1:
(tested and 100% working for both dead devices stuck in bootloader and devices working but stuck with the tmob 1.72 version.)
You will need a working device (with old ROM before 1.72), besides your dead one.
1. Prepare your DEAD device in Bootloader mode. Don't connect it yet. (If it is still working but you want to downgrade, press Power+Action+Stylus, if it is already stuck in bootloader, just reset with stylus).
2. Connect your WORKING device, with OLD version via activesync.
3. Start the rom installation of your choice normally, with a version compatible with this WORKING device (Official or Modified NBF files via HymaUpgradeUT). If you don't know what I am talking about, just use your official file downloaded from your WORKING devices' provider).
4. Press NEXT, untill you are presented with the Current version and the one that will be installed. DO NOT click "UPGRADE" yet. (If you got an error so far, you are not using the correct version for your working device.)
5. When you get the dialog with the versions, disconnect the WORKING device from the craddle and connect your DEAD device, in bootloader mode.
6. Click "UPGRADE" and go get yourself a drink.
Et Voila.
Thanks to Victor for inspiring this solution.
Solution 2:
If you don't have another working device, and only have a dead one stuck in BootLoader, you can flash the attached image, through SD card. It will bring back your device to life with the BETA tmob 1.72 CE ROM.
Write the image to the card using "NTRW". Info on SD images and NTRW can be found in this forum.
Unfortunately, i don't have device even with working bootloader And it stuck in TMObile screen
I am sorry I have no solution for screwed Bootloaders, but if your device loads into the tmob screen, there must be something there still working. The only thing I can advise is to try to hard reset and not go into the extended ROM setup files (Soft Reset right after the Hard Reset and welcome procedure), but I guess you don't reach that far ....
What is about for XDA 1?
HI !
I have a Dead XDA. The bootloader is OK. How can I do with it ?
I need some advice for doing it, please !
Best reguard,
Carlo & Victor... You are GREAT!!
Okey.... I will try FIRST!!
please, where is the officiale t mobil rom ? we all have the beta (and thee pb you solve) but not the official one...
thanks
When i posted the T-mobile 172 rom i did not know how much greif it would cause people, sorry to everyone for this
As to the second solution using the SD card is it possible to use this method on a working XDA2.
Basically i have a UK XDA2 and of corse i getthe ID error if i run the upgrade, i dont understand very well how to change the ID part so could i just make the SD card with the rom on it and follow your instructions to recover a dead XDA2
Thanks
John
What should I do when I want to upgrade/downgrade...
I have the T-Mobile 1.72WWE rom installed.
Everything works ok for now, no problems.
But do I need to do when I want to upgrade/downgrade?
I don't have a second device so thats not an option
Please advise.
Thanks
To cairo31male!!
NOP!! Can't HELP!! Maybe the BOOTLOADER got the diffrent version? Mine is 1.03. Can u tell me how to upgrade the bootloader to 1.06?
And you mentioned about OLD version, what do you mean by that?
@hcnsoft:
The 2 solutions described above are for XDA 2's which have been screwed up by installing / uninstalling the latest beta version tmob 1.72. If this is your situation, and you have a working bootloader, both solutions should work for you.
@SEB152030:
The beta we have is 1.72, which caused all these problems. If you have another working device, as described in solution 1, you can revert back to the latest working official ROM (1.66), just follow the steps decribed above and use the official 1.66 upgrade program.
@applecom:
If your XDA 2 is dead, there is no harm in trying. But basically, this SD file will only work on devices that have already been upgraded to 1.72 and then died. If it is dead because of any other reason, I suggest you stick with older stable versions and don't try to mess up with 1.72 for now, until the developers come up with a simple tool to go back and forth between different roms. You can flash SD images that were made from other working devices that have your same model/language. You wouldn't get any errors that way.
@Panja:
Since your device is working, I suggest you wait a couple of days, before trying anything. The developers might come up with a simpler solution. If you absolutely have to downgrade, you can follow the solution 1 described above, but you will need another working device for a few minutes. Use the other working device which has the old ROM installed and start the OLD ROM installation software, then plug in your device with the 1.72 ROM AFTER you get the different versions dialog with the button "UPGRADE".
@Ivan-R: which method are you tying? Solution 1 or 2? FOr the first solution, I guess it should work. For the SD flashing, I beleive you should have Bootloader 1.06. How to get that one, I don't know, but I strongly advise against it, untill all this matter is clear, as each new version of the bootloader implements stricter security, which will make it harder to customize in the future.
OLD version means any version before 1.72

I already try BOTH solution!! Solution 1, i try with ROM 1.03.11, which is thats the basic ROM. Solution 2, the RESULT is Not Allowed UpDate!!
So i guess this is the matter of BOOTLOADER!! Yours is 1.06 and me 1.03. THATS THE PROBLEMO NOW!! Now... How about upgrade the BOOTLOADER??
[email protected]#$!%G FREAK ROM!! :evil:
Mas Ivan,
Sebaiknya anda jangan menggunakan sd image yang di upload karena masih beta untuk menghindari kesalahan pada rom 1.72
thanks cairo for the info, my xda is working with the standard rom, Our only problem is me and the guy that got the rom in the first place would like to use it but we cant
anyway thanks for youe info

Solution 1 don't work for me because (I think) 2 version of bootloader 1.03 and 1.06.....

Radio Stack Downgrade
I loaded the 1.72 Beta and would like to keep it, but the Radio Stack is horrible for me. I need to go back to the O2 launch version of the radio stack. I noticed in the O2launch Rom that the contents of the exe file included Radio.nb while the 1.72 exe contained Radio.nbf.
Is it safe for me to try and downgrade only the radio stack and if so should i use the launch version of himalaya upgrade or the 1.72 version of himalaya upgrade to install the launch radio.nb file?
Can anyone give me some advice here? My radio is barely functional. can't find networks where i know there is coverage. Thanks for any advice.

Didn't have any trouble downgrading
I just upgraded to 1.72 last week...hated it...gprs was WAY too slow. Today I downgraded and crossed my fingers back to Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe (filename..not sure where i got it).
IT WORKS!! everything went fine and is fine.
I think my bootloader said it was something like version 1.01 (very hard to read that screen without the backlight) So I'm guessing this downgrade problem may be specific to bootloader versions.
No expert, just letting you know what i did.
This site is amazing. Thanks for everything.

Hi,
Thanks for all help!
I have a dead unit due to 1.72 ROm.
Itried to fool the himalya upgrade program with a soft reset as suggested in another thread, it works It gets trough the device id but stops when erasing rom, any suggestion?
Is there anyone out ther that can disassamble the himalyprogram and
make a small program without error checking?
I also have bootloader 1.06 and tried also "ntrw write ROM.nb1 H:"
It works writing the image but my bootloader don´t loads any rom.
Tried with 2 differnet SD cards, and soft reset, hardreset, and only pushing camera button, without succes, what is the right command?
Any more suggestions?
@nilron:
Press ARROW KEY (any direction on joystick) + POWER Button + SOFT RESET, all together, then wait a little. You should get instructions to press POWER to start flashing.
Started a rom upgrade, power failure :x I am NOT a developer so need simple step by step advice on what I may be able to do to recover situaton. Device says Serial 1.06, if I plug into cradle machine beeps to confirm connection and XDA II says USB 1.06.
All I have is the original Rom file and the upgrade (these are both exe's designed to run on PC to upgrade through activesync.
I do have SD card but no raw image.
What are my chances (other than sending in for repair?)

Beecher, thanks for your reply. Sadly I had already tried that!
With the upgrade rom the app ran and found the XDA but reported that the update was the wrong version (I can only guess because it could not find an existing rom to update (I know the update had got as far as erasing the old one)
I did also try and run the original factory release rom prog but that did not seem to do anything at all.
what's your device type (qtek2020, i-mate, MDA II, O2 XDA II) ? ... and what was the original ROM version ?

Ouch, it looks like I missed basic information you have a XDA1/MDA1 device! I thought you have XDA2/MDA2 device.
In this case, try to find on this forum LumpiStefan ROM kitchen for XDA1/MDA1, cook you own ROM and download only ROM image. Then upload this ROM to your card and get to bootloader. It should somehow update your ROM in device.

I am desperate, I red almost all posted instructions of how upgrade g4 (VODAFONE unlocked, my case) firmware and none works fine with me. I get the new firmware (Qtek_S200_220736_2207116_024721_SPA) for my Prophet I followed all steps and always tell me the same, ERROR[238] FILE READ.
I have tried hundreds times and nothing. Someone can help me?.
Thank you in advanced.
P.D.
This is what I do:
0)Begin installation from Qtek_S200_220736_2207116_024721_SPA.
1)Copy the files from the temporary folder to other location
2)Close the instalation program.
3)Paste into new created directory ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe and execute it. Until here, everithing is OK.
4)In the step that the process ask if I want to update my firmware, I click YES and pataboooommmmmm! EROR[238] FILE READ
Its unlocked?
Is The CID unlocked?, I had the same machinne and I was able to upgrade from last spanish ROM version to Touch Xb by Gullum just like a regular G3. Also update Radio, only the Vodafone stiker remains in the case.
So you want to try some ROM other than the shipped ROM for your Athena!
What Do you need to know?
Backup
You should also know that doing this will usually wipe all the info off your phone(except the microdrive and SD card)
So it is important that you learn to backup any info that you want to keep.
I suggest using pimbackup and I usually back up MyDocuments by syncing with your computer or even copying it to your SD card.
I do this as a routine everytime I fiddle with my ROM so I can return to the previous state.
I also use Sprite Backup as well.
Remove Sim/Sd card
Next , make sure you remove your SD card and simcard before proceeding to apply Olipros unlocker
Unlock
Well you have to unlock your ppc to accept a new ROM.
I haven't done this for a while , but fortunately the process has been made easy by Olipro in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831
and in german in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378216
Check Bootloader Screen
Throughout this forum you will be referred to your SPL.
This is the Secondary Program Language and on your unadulterated ppc it will be 1.1
Olipro's original unlocker upgraded this to 1.1x but the unlocker above will change it to SPL 1.2
You can see if this has already been done by putting your phone into the Bootloader screen.
This is done by holding the camera button completely in and then pressing the reset button.
You will now see a red/green/blue and white striped screen telling you the device id and SPL version.
If you see SPL 1.2 , you are good to go to load any SPL 1.2 Rom.
Activsync/Windows mobile device centre.
You need this program to apply updates to your ROM
There used to be a problem with earlier versions of these programs not recognising WM6 ROMS.
This problem is easily solved by updating these programs
Upgrading Radio
No there is no FM radio on the Athena, this refers to the operating System radio that operates the phone/wifi/gps etc
This is important to know as AP4 needs at least radio 1.50 (and maybe WM6.1roms)
Upgrading the radio proceeds the same way as a rom upgrade

Walk me through the Process
1.backup data
2.remove sim and SD card,apply hard reset and wait till full initialization complete before connecting to pc.
3.establish Activsync connection
4.ensure no background program running, antivirus, firewall and etc. before executing flash command.
5 start the unlocker and follow the instructions.
6.reboot phone and make sure you still have activesync
7.**Update the ROM to an SPL appropriate rom according to what appears on your bootloader screen**
following the above protocol
Great!
Now you should have a new ROM to play with!
And play with it you should !
But I want to try an SPL3.5 ROM!
OK if you got this far You should be able to do this.
**First step is to install AP4**
At the moment there is only 1 foolproof way to do this and this is to use the Athena Updater
But first read the upgrade Guide Please Here http://www.htc-hackers.com/uploads/AP4_How_To_1.8.pdf
It is very detailed and I recommend following it exactly !!
This is the link to the athena Updater

Ok. this is possible

Don't worry , nearly everyone here has made a mistake but been able to recover.
Read the wiki and/ or search the forum
If you have any suggestions to change What I have written ,post a reply.
Advanced:SD Card Flashing
Rather than using Activesync/WMDC it is possible to flash using the SD Card
from the athena Wiki (a good source of info)
"Rename the .NBH file to ATHEIMG.nbh and copy it to your miniSD card. Press camera+soft reset to bootloader and wait for reading ATHEIMG.nbh from SD. Remember, the miniSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem before copying the file ATHEIMG.nbh to your miniSD. After finished, do a soft reset."
this doesn't work with SDHC cards .

also this question has nothing to do with the title of this thread.
The problem you talk about is not confined to the X7501 and i refer you to a sticky in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387986

For variuos reason I had to reinstall the Original HTC Rom and again everything was working succefully.
Now I would like to reinstall Michy Rom 6.1 and once I enter the bootloader the screen is showing:

In order to avoid to brick my device my question is:
I can flash the Michy Rom straight or I still have to repeat the unlock procedure since the beginning again?

You can only flash SPL 1.2 ROMs and last time I looked Michy 6.1 was only SPL3.5.
You would need to upgrade to AP4 first as outlined in my first post

update rom and radio
Can someone help me? I have updated my dell axim rom many times but in the case of athena (u1000) i am afraid to do it because it is also a phone. I am not sure whether the radio 1.58 is applicable world wide mobile phone network or is it just in the united states. I live in Malaysia and we have several mobile phone network providers like digi, celcom and maxis.
Also should the radio be updated first or the rom first? Thanks

Radio 1.58 works everywhere as far as I know and is not carrier specific.
I could not get mms to work.
You need to upgrade to radio 1.5 at least to load AP4 and I think people had troubles if they used an earlier radio with WM6.1 roms.
So I guess it would be best to upgrade the radio first.
Thanks
Thanks lakeman,
Thanks for your clear clarifications about the radio updates and the AP4 Roms.
i am beginning to feel confident again about updating my u1000. I have read so much about michy's rom and a few others. The official rom in my device is stable but might be a bit slow if i were to compare to my axim x51 using the latest L11 rom from Lenny.
The joy of having responsive roms made me reluctant to sell of my dell axim even though I am using my u1000 most of the time now. I wonder if anyone had sold off their previous axim after using u1000 (athena x7500) and regretted.
But if i must use my u1000 which has features that no other ppc has namely the large screen, i would like to have better roms than the official roms.
Thanks to all here who have contributed so much to improve the athena!
lakeman
your instruction seems the most easy to follow (at least for me)
So i am itching to try upgrading my dopod u1000 here in malaysia.
So if i just want to upgrade the radio 1.57/58
I have to
1. do the unlocking using olipro (3 steps)
2. remove sd card and sim
3. connect to pc using activesync
4. install the radio and
5. hard reset (will be done automatically)

Hi!
I've a big problem with my german O2 XDA Star. The touchscreen doesn't work anymore. I tried a hardreset, but now I can't get through the configuration at the beginning, because the screen ist still not working. Now I think the last chance is to flash a new ROM, but it's not possible to flash any ROM because I can't do the Hard-Spl.
So I need a ROM, which doesn't need a unlock before installing it.
I hope someone can help!
Thanks!
Get the package here
Read the ReadMe.txt on how to flash the whole ROM before flashing! Good luck and let me know your succeeding!
Thank you for the link, but this Rom needs a Hardspl, too.
I can't do anything on the phone.
Any other idea how to solve the problem with the touchscreen?
Thanks!
Yes, you need at first a HardSPL on your phone to flash the OS and Radio only! After that, start SoftSPL on your phone and flash the original SPL!
So, what's your problem with that?
How can I do the HardSpl when the Touchscreen doesn't work? For the HardSpl I've to copy a file to the phone and run it, or am I wrong?
Awww, that's a problem, indeed!
Try the following:
- remove the Storage Card
- connect your XDA to your PC
- install Pocket Controller Pro (or similar tool) both on PC and XDA
- put SSPL into main storage
- start it by using the Controller program
- you might be able to flash USPL for flashing all things you need
If you didn't succeeded with it, I can have a look at it! Just contact me by PM for further infos!
where to get the original o2 spl for the star? im still searchin it..
edit: ah its in your package linked in your first post.... thank you...
