Has anyone been able to get the cingular ROM off the device and installed on a Qtek? Is anyone working on it?
I haven't heard of anyone trying this yet, but imagine they will in time. To be honest with you, I am using the IMAte Rom on my QTEk on the Cingular Network and have no desire to change it. Unless someone could show me there is a benefit in switching, I am happy were I am.
On a related note, the delay may have something to do with the size of the ROM. I have heard speculation that due to the 3125's 128MB memory size, versus the 64MB size of the QTEK, that the actual ROM itself may not fit. But again, that is only speculation, and others have stated that the extra memory has nothing to do with the ROM.

I installed it on my Qtek 8500, all is working fine.

I uploaded the file to ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/StarTrek/
What is the diference between 3125 and 3100 models?
Thanks.
RE: cingular 3125 ROM on Qtek 8500
For those that have done it,: above comments aside, I am curious as to the thoughts. Are you updating your Qtek from the Qtek ROM, or other.
I have yet to read anything that shows the differences between the IMate and Cingular ROMS and what, if any changes were made, other than custom features and proprietary logos.
Does the Cingular come with any apps that are more desireable than another?
may I ask how do you upgrade a QTEK isn't there some special upgrade utility. or is it just running the executable. and it does not matter what manufacturer device you have?
Cingular told me the machine would use blue towers better running its ROM. No idea if that is true.
Data setups work w/o manual entry, obviously not a big deal.
Some Cingular junk included.
Clearvue loaded in flash (same as i-Mate) - not with QTEK
A bit more free memory.
Other than that I see little difference between CIngular and the i-Mate ROM I was running. QREK ROM definately had problems with Cingular - missed lots of calls. This also occurs on my wife's Smartflip and she uses T-Mobile.
"Blue Towers" ?

About the QTEK ROM missing calls, is supposed to be a common issue. I had it too, but then I turned on the BT and left it on the problem with missing calls was gone.
Blue towers are the old AT&T towers...
Cingular ROM on QTEK 8500
I flashed the Cingular ROM on my QTEK 8500.
Very happy with it.
I have the (subjective) feeling, that it runs better than with the 8500 ROM
Cheers

The 3125 has the camera, the 3100 does not. Everything else is exactly the same.

Can you one just run the upgrade ?? no special upgrade utils ?? Can you go back to QTEK RM if the Cingular is not to my liking?

Of course the device has to be CID-unlocked, i.e. totally unlocked (cert, etc.)
After that, no problem switching between ROM's (I also tried Dopod and i-mate)
But found cingular best up to now

And CID unlocked is only posssible via an online service and costs money or is there a free way. I mean to ask, I have appl unlocked it but that is not enough he?

At the moment full Sim and CID unlocking can only be done online, no free ways yet, though I`m sure its being worked on.
Got my 8500 unlocked within 20mins of getting the unit, currently running the I-mate rom and am more than happy with it.

Now we some tools to cook our own roms !
Does Cingular 3125 ROM "Re-Lock" Qtek 8500?
I've unlocked my 8500 and installed i-Mate ROM - all seems to be working well (no missed calls). If I wanted to install the Cingular 3125 ROM, would it "re-lock" the device?

Hi,
can anybody help me with unlocking my T-mobile mda 2.
It is about 2-3 years old.
Lokowiz didn´t work.
I tried it several times.
Thank´s a lot.

Did you read the Wiki? There's a nice link to a thread about unlocking the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=944869
Maybe if you post in that thread, people who are focused on that topic might lend a hand.
Unlock MDA
liquidsilver thank´s for the link.
I tried it out and it worked out perfectly.
Thank´s a lot.

it works!
After trying several links, this is the one that finally worked for me for the pm200 (compact 2 from T-Mobile UK). Nice, easy, simple and foolproof. It did not delete any files either.
Thank you very much!
Bought refurbished MDA Compact II on Ebay a few weeks ago, loaded with Windows Mobile 6.1. Took some searching here, but liquidsilver's link did the job - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=944869 The unlock code generated worked perfectly with Vodafone sim. Linkowiz is the man!
