hi, I've got the nbf fileof the os for ipaq.
is there a way to put it on my qtek2020?
not that i know off
as far as i know nobody have
transfered a rom from one device to another
it would be like trying to put the firmware of a sony erisson phone on a nokia
windows CE is custom made for the device the rom is hardcoded with the settings of the device it was ment to run on
there are italian 2003 roms for himalaya devices if you do a search
think they are called ITA
or i'm sure other italian users can help you
think they are even working on a 2003SE translated rom or maybe a 2005
Windows Mobile 2003
Hi there,
the ROM you are looking for is available for free on www.windowsmobile.it.
Just look for the QTek2020
You need to register with your IMEI, thou.
Good luck,
I know it... but my imei is not valid since my qtek comes from spain... (TSM500)...
I asked to Dangaard's and they said me that only originally italian sold pda can download software....

Hi,
I bought a Qtek 1010 from a friend. when I restrat the system I get "test only, not for sale", and G 44.00.01 and other numbers, the system then starts and runs and looks normal.
I don't like that.. what do you think?? is there something wrong with it?
not at all, but he just installed a 'cooked' rom, wich means,
a costom rom that he built in the xda-kitchen
what does that mean??!!
can I restore the original OS??
Yes you can, the last owner only customized the rom and probably installed a PPC 2003 rom.
The original rom is PPC 2002 from your provider orange? T-mobile? etc. since PPC 2003 (XDA-Qtek) rom's are still note officially provided (just T-mobile wiwh is strarting to provide some for 30$)
As a personal view, i would keep the one you have if you fell conftarbale with it. I will never go back to PPC 2002 from my provider (Orange), i way prefer my PPC 2003 custom rom's.
You can look at http://www.yorch.net/ to cutomize your rom's.
To install the roms look in the forum, ther's already a lot of beginers post.
Cheers,
Yann
khabbab,
Go to Start/Settings/System Tab/Device Information
and let us know what ROM version you have.
I suspect it may be 4.01.00.
yann: thank you.. I will chek the site
pdhenry: the ROM version is 4.00.01.
yesterday I took the Qtek to the main agent, and one of the technicals said this device is upgraded and it should not! the version should be 3.16.?? in order to suite this country. So, he adviced me to change the device if I can, because there will be some problems!! it won't be stable!
This is not true. I downloaded the kitchen rom in WM2003 with the 'not for sale" boot screen, I'm in France with Orange, and it suits perfectly well the country and all the other european countries while travelling!
Hi, I own the QTEK 2020 and a couple of months ago updated it with the dangard rom update. Now it seems there is a new update in the form of the WM2003SE and I need to know if I cn get one for my phone as I dont have an XDA2, imate, himalaya or any such device but a QTEK 2020!
I want it too
When you can find one, please let me know, because I'm in searching of one too :roll:
i have heard nothing about any 2003SE for xda update
where did you hear that ?
Microsoft Creates New Opportunity for Windows Mobile Developers With New Software Platforms and Tools
Microsoft unveils the new Windows Mobile™ 2003 Second Edition software focused on enabling unprecedented hardware innnovation and application development.
ANother question.
I saw this update on the front page:
A sotware update was released for the iMate (Himalaya / XDA II). It's a ROM update which holds a new OS ROM and not just a new extended ROM.
i.e. Imate 1.66
if i install this upgrade on my qtek 2020 would it work and will my phone still retain its triband capabilities?
hello there, is it possible to install the standard OS software from de MDA compact/Magician on a MDA2/himalya?? a friend of mine has this software but i don´t know if it is suitable for a MDA2. when it is possible I would have a standard (checked!!) WM2003SE.
tnx already
Francis
when you get windows for your pc it have 1M different drivers and possible settings
with win CE it have to be 100% made for the device otherwise it would never boot
Bummer
so I have to search a bit more for a win 2003SE. how about the versions on this site? can I install them without problems? is there a version that you recommend foor my MDA2? is there a difference between de xda2, mda2, qtec2020? or are they all "the same", in other words, a OS for the qtec2020 is also suitable for the XDA2 and MDA2?
it´s a hole new world for me :? , so all the info you can give me, please teach me all the tricks.
Francis
yeah they are all the device called himalaya which htc makes
though the orange one have different buttons then my qtek2020
about the 2003SE then i havent made the switch myself because some people talk about bluetooth isseus with 2003SE as in not being able to sync with it
and also it's translated from chinese so it's not a purebred WWE rom
isn´t there a purebred wwe available?? or an english version? like I told before, it´s quit new for me.....
HTC for example doesn´t provide a update of the OS, in the form of a WM2003SE?? is this the only place where I can find OS for the MDA2 or are there more usefull places?
tnx Francis
as far as i know there is no official english version of 2003SE for himalaya
only the ones users have translated
htc never release any roms they release them to tmobile, o2, qtek and imate and who ever sell humalaya devices
well.. greetings to everyone. My first contact with this fabulous source of knowledge was last year. İ ve bought a t mobile mda2 from Germany and the salesman told me that "the device includes english menus" . And i have no idea about their language. So i started to look for a solution in the net. Being a dentist in Turkey does not much help in technical subjects. Even though a man like(motto=they develop i use) me was able to convert the machine to an English ROM even with a newer add-ons. And nowadays i am using a ROM merged by sin 2003 SE and perfectly happy with it.
None of this devices are sold in Turkey so my friends who loved the PDA at the first sight had to look for it across the europe and internet.
Last week a very close friend of mine asked me if he buys xda2i from germany that i would somehow convert it to english . depending on the xda-developers site i said that it wont be a problem.
Thinking that alpine is only a himalaya with 1.3 camera i tried to update the machine with sinmerged 2003SE. And after that i recognised it as a fatal mistake. Now my friends XDAIIi cannat even boot. On its screen you can only see serial v1.01. and when you connect it to the computer you can only see usb 1.01 on a grey unlighted screen. I tried to install the english rom and ofcourse recieved a country id error which i could not solve. İ tried to find the original german ROm and i could not find it even in o2 official site.
So is this machine dead? please help me .
non of the htc devices can share roms
and alpine also have a different cpu, and wifi
they just look alike
Goto http://myxda.com and download the launch rom for the Xda2i. Then it will work.
Mike
sorry but not true
No Mikee4fun it doesnt work like that. Because if i download that version of ROM and try to install it, the country code id error message stops the installation. Because my friend bought if from Germany. And O2 germany site does not hold a copy of the german ROM.
Thats why i need help. Because i tred every other and legal solutions.
İf any body knows how to pass the country id code error message please help me.
You need to use the the xda 2 nbftool located at the following to make the UK rom work with the O2 German XDA IIi unit. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=xda2nbftool Read it and gooduck.
no rom editing for alpine
again thanx for the effort mikee4fun but these editors are only working with himalaya (MDA2-XDA2) ROMs. No one knows the password for the ALpine(XDA2i) ROMs.
So the kind of editing suggested by you can not be done.. Thats why i am asking for help!
Help :wink:
Hi Guys,
i've been searching reeeaaally hard but couldnt find any clue if someone cooked a german ROM based on Win Mobile 6.1..
I'd appreciate it very much if someone did or tells me where to get as my brother doesnt speak english and desperately needs improvement on his QTEK 8500 (especially more storage space)
Thanx in advance..
Basti
You are right, there is no 6.1 rom in german. I looked for it too, but nothing...
I'm also interested in a german 6.1 rom for the Strtrk.
Probably we have to wait until the first wm6.1 smartphones with german rom hit the market.
infact you don't have to. There is some sort of SDK provided by MS where you simply can take the language files from. An easier option might be to take all files from that ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383587 and subsequently replace the English files in our PRO ROM with the GERMAN ones.
In any case its a bit work to get to know how to dump a ROM etc. But if you really need a German ROM i guess you have create one by your own since the majority of Germans around using English versions.
regards.

These files are not working with Windows Mobile 6.1 Smartphone Edition. The Screenshots showing Windows Mobile 6.1 PocketPC Edition. You could use them only if you have Erofich's Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro ROM. But as i use Windows Mobile Pro on my StrTrk and i am looking for german languages too, i will try it.
And do not flash this ROM on your StrTrk because this is a ROM for HTC Wizard. You must open it with htcRE and extract the *.0407.mui files, copy it to you phone and sets some registry keys to enable it. Or you have to rename the files to *.0409.mui and copy it to your phone.
But, i can't guarantee if this works...
