I am selling my last Wizard G4. It has WM6.1 OS 5.2.20273 TNT series. ROM version 11.0.4.1 WWE Radio 02.25.11 Protocal 4.1.13.12 Almost perfect condition. Comes with 1GB Mini card, AC charger, USB cable and OE case. It has only very small marks from carrycase, no marks on screen at all. Everything on the phone works flawlessly. I sold my SX66 and my other Wizard already and now this one is going. If anyone is interested please PM me or find me on MSN messenger. Thanks, Kevin
im not sure this is the place for selling your device. for me this place doesnt sound like a marketplace for used devices, but maybe thats just me...
I wish there was a Clasifieds section, but theres not. I figured I would see if anyone is interested here (family first) before listing it on Ebay.

I just bought a orange spv m3100 from ebay and am waiting for it to arrive, probably around wednesday, at which time i will reflash it with wm6 black shadow. Anyways, im also getting a new pc and ps3, so im getting a bluetooth keybaord, as it can work with both. I was wondering if it will work out of the box with the refalshed tytn.this may seem like a stupid question, but i think its relevant.
thanks in advance

I used my microsoft bluetooth keyboard with my TyTn with orginal rom no problem. In fact it was harder to get it to work with the PC!
Hi all
I just wanted your views on what to do with my Qtek 8500.
I'm about to buy a brand new Qtek 8500 sim free for £65.
I just wanted to know exactly how i should proceed in regards to upgrading it to the latest ROM and WM6 with the newest radio for the best coverage. This includes any spl things and CID unlocking (though i do wonder is it CID unlocked due to it being sim unlocked?)
Any thoughts and suggestions on how i proceed would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks all
Dan
Had a look around and decided to get a I-mate smartflip, now from what i have read its the exact same as a Qtek 8500 except the name on the front and a few screens and software changes but still the same WM5.
However as this has a smaller ROM as the 3125, will installing the clean edition of the WM6 rom here work well or will the phone be really really slow?
I'm aware i will have to CID unlock the phone and that looks simple according to this forum but any points on how to flash the new radio also off the WM6 page would be helpful.
Thanks
Hey, good to here another joining in the STRTRK parade lol
I got the Qtek 8500 from expansys about a week ago to supplement my tytn 2 (for the £65 bargain!) and have since cid unlocked and installed Erofish's WM6 rom, the latest version also includes Office 6.1 which is very handy, I thoughrally recommended it, it runs very fast and very stable, its made the phone so much better. with just windows mobile 5 it felt old and horrid but now it feels great, its even a bit faster. I'd go for it, the grace of winmo 6 is great
I've just updated my MTeoR to WM6 and thats brought it back into life too. thanks for replying, as a new user i am insterested to see what you think of the battery life?
As a previous windows smartphone user i am used to charging up the phone every night, is that something we have to get used to with the StrTrk ?
thanks again
My 3125 lasted 3-4 days between charges, with moderate use. If you are talking 4-5 hours a day on ANY cell phone you will probably have to charge it daily. Also, there are two battery sizes (I don't know which size the 8500 has). The larger battery has a back cover that is not completely flat. This is the battery I had (standard on the 3125). The small battery will probably only last 2/3 as long.

Qtek 8500 has 750mAh battery
Cingular 3125 has 1100mAh battery
Mine arrived today and I got WM6 on it... following the various guides here - only to discover that the internal speaker doesn't work!
did you buy a qtek 8500 or the smartflip as its cheaper?
also which WM6 did you go for? the one with working GPRS or the other one that doesn't work with GPRS ?
I bought the qtek as the imate wasn't on expansys list yesterday... and I went for the Gnatgosplat light rom - and gprs worked fine on that.
Mines arrived, i am pleased with it, didn't realise that the keypad was so huge but overall impressed. just gotta find the time to put WM6 on it now.
Just pruchased a 950 mAh battery off ebay for my new imate smartflip, which i love by the way!!
anyone got one of these batteries running and if so how much more charge can i expect over the 750mAh?
thanks
Okay so I recently purchased an i-mate Spartphone I have a couple of questions that I couldn't find thru the search feature.
1st I was wondering is the phone I have a Qtek 8500 (I think thats what I read on here) it only says imate on the outside and smartflip below the inner screen and say's imate on loading.
2nd when I use the camera all I see is static no picture... is there a way to fix this or should I load a different rom? I am thinking of running the rose or neo rom anyways (I have to get on my home computer and do the unlocks first I believe)
3rd I am also new to Winmo phones so I was wondering if there was any nice apps that anyone could point me towards.
Thanks in advance

The phone is made by HTC but is also sold as other names such as i-mate smartflip.
I have an i-mate smart flip that I purchased on e-bay and was able to use the camera just fine with the original WM5 ROM. Though I must admit that after upgrading the ROM to Erofoch's Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional for HTC StarTrek the camera works even better with the camera night mode option.
This version of WM6 works amazing on this phone, it also has BatteryStatus set up with safe and quick overclocking.
It took me a while to figure out all the steps, there is so much great information in this forum that it can be a bit overwhelming. I was directed to this wiki web page which outlines the ROM upgrade process step by step. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...Trk_ROM_Update
For the Mobile 6.1 Pro ROM that I installed I only had to stop at step 2 because this ROM does the rest.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Rudydb.
Okay I installed the Rose Rom by pampooh??(probably mispelled hope does not offend) anyways still just static on the camera not a huge deal for me I have a different camera phone for that purpose just was hoping it would fix it may be that I just got one with a bad camera but oh well
Yep, sounds like a bad camera. In general, when there is a driver issue, you will either get an error message when you launch the camera, or else a blank screen, but definitely not static.
iMate, Startrek, 3185, and a few other names are all the same phone. HTC sells the phone to Cellular carriers, and they can name it whatever they want. With the phone nerds here at XDA, the easiest way to refer to it is as "StarTrek", since this was the HTC code name for the phone. All the phones are basically alike, except for the Cingular/AT&T 3185, which has a larger battery, and twice the ROM (64MB instead of 32MB). You can buy the extended battery and associated back plate on eBay if you want it. All the versions of the phone run the same software and operating systems.
Software:
Tons of good software out there. What you will like is a matter of opinion. I can't live without:
1. Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 - Gives you text to speech, and awesome voice recognition.
2. Coreplayer - An actual working media player for the phone (not crappy like WMP).
3. Replacement calandar/tasks program - Tons out there, but I don't like the MS one.
4. Games - Again, find ones you like.
It's been a couple years since I have been on this forum; I sold my old 8500 which was running the Dopod rom I had bought prior to Cingular releasing the 3125 officially in the States and have been using a Moto Q on AT&T's towers ever since. I have grown tire of carrying my big brick every day and am looking to move back into a Star Trek as a backup phone and ocassional carry.
While at one time I was pretty up on all the specs of the various phones, life has taken a turn which doesn't allow me the luxery of studying up on everything. I had forgotten the differences in Star Trek models and may have made a mistake and jumped the gun to quickly while playing on eBay. I bought an unused, Imate SmartFlip the other night over the various 3125's available, partly for the price, but also I am not a fan of the Cingular branding.
In researching flashing the phone to WM6.0, I realized that the 3125 came standard with more memory than the IMate. I do have access to an old 3125, but it isn't unlocked and it has it's share of scratches.....
So, my questions are ---
1. Is it a straight flash to flash the IMate with the Cingular WM6.0 Rom? As posted here
2. What if any obsticles will I have other than space limitations?
3. Would there be any benefit to Flashing the Cingular phone over the Imate, other than space?
4. Since my ultimate goal is to have an unlocked, clean (un scratched) and clean installed WM flip phone, would it be practical to unlock the old 3125 and transplant the guts to the Imate case.
All-and-all, I have less than $50 invested in both phones. I am looking for a device that is small,easy to carry, performs as a cellphone 40% of the time and can be used to browse and read through my emails the remainder of the time and can sync with my hosted exchange service. (I seldom reply to emails on my mobile device anymore, which was the reason I got rid of the Star trek for the Mot Q to begin with (Keyboard).
Any advice is appreciate.
Hey; the diferences between Cingular vs imate is hardware no software...
Cingular has 128 Ram while Imate only half of it 64. So if you install the Cingular ROM will not make a big difference. If you want more space try with one Clean ROM. Erofish and Pampooh had made a great job with theirs ROM's for StrTrk.
Thanks, I've been checking out the different ROms and as I do all that I learned before has started to come back to me.... I just don't want to kill a phone in the process of updating it. Once I get the Imate in my hands I may start with the nasicis, radio updates, etc. Then try one of the clean installs, before moving on to WM6.1 version ROM's on the 3125. With two phones it isn't a big deal, but would like to use which ever is nicest (newer) as my carry phone.
Hello,
I'm new here and I wanna get my 8GB SDHC card working in my SDA II.
I already tired several ROMs and several SDHC drivers for the Hurricane, f. e. hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351586 or hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344338 , but at anyway none did work after all
So I have a SDA II with inside a microSD 8GB Kensington with miniSD Adapter and atm hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475286 that ROM (WM 6.1) patched with some SDHC drivers but my SDHC card is not recognised by the phone...
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks in advance
Keyno(t)
Ouw and btw: is there any ROM for this phone with WM5 or WM6.5 in English? I only found the 6.5 Chinese version... or how to change it to English?
I doubt you will find anything for SDHC on this device. Only for Tornado - after a long wait - someone found out that OMAP850 drivers for the Startrk could also be used for the Tornado.
I don't know how the Startrk drivers were created, but for sure there are HTC devices using OMAP 850 which have SDHC support on WM6. So it was sure that the Tornado can support it as well from HW point of view.
If you do not want to create a low level driver for OMAP 750 yourself, you could invest in finding a device with OMAP 750 (like the Hurricane uses) that has WM6 and SDHC support. It is however not likely you find one :-(
If you like your Hurricane - don't worry. You can replace the PBA inside the Hurricane with a Tornado PBA without any other change to the device. They are 1:1 compatible (mechanically: identical size in any regard and electrically: LCD, keyboard, Camera).
So if you find a broken Tornado (no matter how worn or cracked) where the PBA is still alive - get it and give it a new live in your housing of the Hurricane.
Hey tobbbie!
Thanks very much for your reply! Und ach ja, ich bin auch Deutscher :-D
Hmm soooo, it would be very hard to find/create a driver for the Hurricane, right? But why are there topics with drivers made for the hurricane?
And otherwhise I'd have to open the phone and change the PBA with a Tornado one, right? But can I take that PBA out so easily? I won't have to solder or anything like that?
Again, thanks for your help!
Keyno(t)
There are no Hurricane specific driver threads. It is a re-use of generic WM 6 variant drivers on top of the low-level drivers.
And yes - if you manage to open the case (be careful when opening not to rip away the flex cables for camera and keyboard) then there is no soldering required.
Look up the service manuals for either Tornado or Hurricane (even Typhoon will do) to get an idea which screws to remove and how to remove the antenna cover. Challenge is to swap the LCD if you need to - some delicate handling of the flex connector as well there.
No impossible mission, but you need some mechanical skills and a rainy day without time pressure if you do it the first time.
Depending on your budget the cheapest solution may be to wait for a good opportunity on ebay to buy a used Tornado - they get sold for 20+ euros. If you do not need WLAN, then go for the SPV C600 (France) or the O2 XDA phone - but these are rare species these times.
Hmm at anyway I don't find anything in ebay I could need...
So you also said it could be possible to write my own driver? Is that true? And you know any How-To's that could help me a bit by this?
And really thank you for your help!
Keyno(t)
Finding this on ebay will require a few weeks - so be patient and keep on looking. How much would you want to spend for a Tornado (XDA phone - no WIFI, or the 8310 with Wifi)?
Regarding the drivers: Seems like you did not get the irony in my comments Writing low level drivers is something very special. It is virtually impossible to write a driver on your own - so forget this option!
Ouw okay, and yes I didn't exactly understand it
So I have only one choice
I think it shouldn't be more than 20€, max. 30€.
And could I really have also WiFi in my Hurricane, or why you ask all the time about WiFi?
I don't really need it, but if the price just change about 5-10€ I'd rather buy one with WiFi
And again: thank you very much for your help!

Did you get it? If you replace the PBA - then you may still have the case of a Hurricane (despite in the US or China the same case carries a Tornado) - but the device is a Tornado then - bye bye Hurricane.
The Tornado was built in two flavours with and without Wifi - more common in Germany was "without" as the O2 XDA phone has no WLAN. The other device is the Qtek 8310 (also in silver as Vodafone VDA 2) which has WLAN. It will only rarely happen that broken devices are sold (people just put them in the waste or return them to the shop for recycling) - but keep on watching.
If you get a fully working Tornado I would not bother to replace the PBA but use it as it is - unless you disassemble it for fun and learning.
Okay thank you very much for all your help!
Now I got it

...just to close the query: It IS (!) possible to have SDHC in the Hurricane working. read about it in my related kitchen thread (post 4) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553132
Kitchen is not updated yet - but who cares anyway...
