I need to upgrade to WM2003SE, but I really read a lot of topics in this forum about that, I heard some people say that this version is good and has no problems, and some else say that it is full of problems. This is my very first time to try upgrading my XDA, I heard that it may become just a piece of junk if anything fails.. so I am very worried about that guys.
So I need 2 things from you:
I need to know if this upgrade worth it or not, will my device die if anything fails? I need to be sure before going ahead.
If the upgrade worth it, could you give me the link where I can download the latest version of WM2003SE that does not have any problems?
Also I will be thankful if you have any tips or things to avoid during the upgrade process.
My device is:
QTEK 2020
R 0.10
G 1337.18
D 1.66 WWE
My carrier is Vodafone Egypt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16916
The only differance is the O2 startup image instead of the imate image. Other than that the rom is very good, not very stable, but deffinetely worth it.
PS. If the phone regects the upgrade at the beginning, retry and it should upgrade.
So you mean that this link you posted, contains the WM2003SE that is compatible with my QTEK2020? and does it support my carrier? "Vodafone Egypt" as it is written that it only supports Australian Carriers: - Optus, Telstra & Vodafone..

Hi Anders,
Did you ever get this problem sorted out?
I'm having the same problem - with the same Bootloader - and am very interested in finding out what you did to overcome this problem.
I you didn't sort out the problem, can anybody else please help me finding a new Bootloader to upgrade my Qtek 8500 /StarTrek
Thank you in advance.
no,i think the problem is you don't unlock the sp!
you need to do cid unlock
Does anyone know where i can get the official hTc z rom from. Or does anyone have it.
Does anyone know?
dude u r just asking 4 truble I can c it cumin....
ppl here r being very polite by not commenting....
for starters wots with the Z part of ur question. I hae seen lots n neva seen the refernece to Z, so I will asume just a n00b qu.
other than that, well erm per haps you could use the search function, or maybe try www.ggogle.com as a great source of information.
but would suggest, b4 u get shot down, that u simply read the forum and try to avoid asking dumb questions and making urself look like something I hope u r not.
and honestly, if u r so [email protected] as to ask then u r way way 2 [email protected] to try n take the risk.
that's me being nice, don't make me cum bak.
seriously 'HTC z' does exist. Google it if you dont belive me. Its looks like a vario 2.
yeah I googled it, did you?
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5369.html
old... it refers to the hermes/tytn and various other code names.
it is referred as WM5 which is the official rom of these devices b4 upgrading...
so u want the rom that ur device was installed with originally? cause I can't think of any reasoon 2 go backwards except warranty.
it is not switching on but i can get into bootloader so somebody else advised me to reinstall the official rom. so now do you have any ideas as to where i can get it from?
if u r certain that it is a hermes/tytn and is an htc device (dopod) I would be installing the official htc wm6 device.
but make sure u have the device right first. dunno wot yours looks like.
read the forum and rules for rom upgrades first in wiki before if u have never done it.
still never heard of the z rom so not sure if it was early or u r in the wrong forum.
do u have any specific details? did u buy it? find it? or steal it?
I wud upgrade n bugger the original rom.

I bought it from Japan but it doesn't work here in the uk. I left everything there which was stupid of me. But it is a Hermes. IT is a Herm 100 i dont know if that means anything. 'HERMES-T12' according to HTC themselves. so where can i get the rom from.
The phone looks like this

It's a Dopod 838pro.
install the dopod wm6 rom.
Excuse me if im wrong but isnt that a completely different phone. The network is Ntt do co mo. Where can i get this rom from anyway.
Hermes HTC TyTN / O2 XDA trion / T-Mobile MDA Vario II / Vodafone VPA Compact III / Orange SPV M3100 / Dopod CHT 9000 / Dopod 838 Pro / hTc Z / Qtek 9600 / iMate JasJam / Cingular 8525 / Swisscom XPA v1605 / SoftBank X01HT / Vodafone PDA 1605
they're all the same. You didn't bother going here didi you ?

Next, did you even bother to search , you do know that there is a search tool on the this forum, it does actually work!!

Ridiculous!
I did look around thats why i suggested that earlier in the thread. I did say it was under Hermes. I thought that i had to install a particular Rom from the carrier 'NTT DO CO MO'. SO where can i get any of these ROMs from.
do you know if this is the rom that i need. The SetHSDPA one
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Utils
have you put HardSPL on it?
Do that then you can flash any ROM on it. Try it!!!
Try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280683
this is the offical ROM for your DOCOMO HTC Z. There has not been a WM6 release for either of the Japanese Hermes.
Thank you for the replys.
Do you know if this will definitely work providing i do it correctly and are there any risks of making it worse.

Based on your responses and questions, and inability to navigate XDA site, you SHOULD NOT try flashing your ROM. You will end up bricking your device.
Just my two cents.
Cingular 8285

help, i have just got an ameo and previously had an xda exec, which i unlocked,then a Mda pro(universal) and installed wm6 which works great compared to wm5, i have tried using olipro unlocker on the ameo... an had an error message at stage 1 flash SPL....TRIED IT TWICE AND the phone is completely dead... doesn't charge or switch on .. i have unlocked and upgraded on two models so i do have a clue.....i should be getting a replacement, but really need to run it on wm6 as i believe it works a lot better as with my Mda pro.
could you pls tell me which is the right toolor a link to unlock and upgrading Ameo (uk) to wm6.There are so many threads i cant tell which tools have been tested and works....Can afford to brick the new one
Many Thanks for your time

If you have bricked one device don't try it again. There are issues being worked out with the unlocker.
Second, there is a ROM you can use for your Ameo that should install without being unlocked and based on WM6. It's on the forum somewhere. I don't remember where it was posted so you'll have to search.
Let us know how it goes....remember you don't need to unlock if you find the right ROM...the WM6 ROM for an Ameo/Tmobile device.
Thanks people. T-Mobile can go to ....
On my third Ameo running wm6 pro.olipro unlocker v2 should do the job i heard but intsalled the rom which run on t-mobile ameo. Dont know what the difference with the black touch version is ... i cant complain ..well for the moment . Thanks again People!!!!!
The T-Mob ROM works without unlocking but Olipro V2 worked fine on my UK Ameo which allowed me to install Black Touch which, thanks to PK and the team, is far better.
I have a unlocked g4 MDa vario, with the standard uk tmobile rom on it .
to make things easier I would like to put the Qtek (uk vodafone) rom on the device.
now I have tried extacting the rom and using softspl but I get either file write errors or invalid carrier so can not flash it.
Can anyone help as I like WM6.1 rom which im running at the moment, but my device just runs really slow but doesnt on the wm5 rom but would love the qtek uk vodafone rom on it as they are my carrier.
Cheers and apologies if this has been asked before (i did do a search but didnt come up trumps)
Len
anyone have an idea how to do this ?surely there is .
has anyone every tried this or am i asking the impossible ?
