Rom upgrade failing/Screen Problems?

I am a Newbie so be patient with me and your advice is appreciated.
I have a Qtek 9100 (Wiza200) G3
Rom 1.1.7.5
Radio 4.0.13.16
Ext rom 1.1.7.105
I purchased the phone unlocked and have used it with sim's from other countries. When I attempt to run the following updates.
RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE-30MB
RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2
I get the error "file name is not a valid Pocket PC application".
What am I doing wrong?
(I have also read all the recommended threats which were great. Thanks for sharing)

you obvious did not read all the recommenced sites! My guess is that you tried to run the upgrade file in pocket pc. You must connect your phone to the computer and establish activsync connection first. than you run the upgrade file on your computer

Navy2010 is correct you are running the updates from your PPC this won't work. You must run the programs from a PC. I also suggest a little more reading.
To get you started have a look at these threads:

Make sure you have CID unlocked the device.

Thanks Gents but one more question for u?
The upgrade went perfectly. Thanks
The reason I was trying to upgrade the ROM is not resolved still.
When device is in the Portrait position (slide is closed) my touch screen works maybe 20% of the time. When I open the slide the touch screen works perfectly. The issue still occurs after the upgrade.
Any recommendations?

Sounds like a hardware failure and could be the reason the phone was sold... ?? If you can return it under some warrantee, I'd lean that direction.

I agree.
Yep I agree. I have sent an email to the seller. In all fairness He sold me a brand new device and he has been pretty good so far. Let see what he says now. I'll update the post when he gets back to me. Thanks for you comments.

Seller has sent me an RMA form
I guess he is going to repair it or replace it.
He emailed me an RMA form which I have sent back. Saga continues.

I have had this problem but in reverse it turned out to be muck under the screen and would cause the start button to activate by just pushing the side of the case.
Get a laminated buisness card or something like it and slide it in between the screen and case

You may have something here
Thanks Eddieitman. I tried it and nothing much came out, but usually after a few mins the screen locks up. This time it's still responsive after 15mins. We'll wait and see after an hour if it still works. fingers are cross.
btw nice site.

Still locking up but a little squeeze works. lol
I am talking about the device. lol Unfortunately, it's still locking up. But when I squeeze the sides of screen it comes back. Sounds like my situation maybe a little worse than yours. I going to send it back and see what they do. thks for the help.

Screen issue not covered by warrantee.
This is a Update/FYI.
I sent my phone into Arvato Teleservice out of Germany to fix the screen issue. $97.00 cdn to do so. First off their customer service is absolutely horrendous. So avoid them.
They determined the issue to be a damaged Main Board, but because of the flashed ROM they are not going to do it under warrantee. I should of downgraded before sending it in (my fault). I am still fighting with them.
Cost to fix $490.00repair + $97.00shipping = buy a new phone.
I am not suggesting it is a result of the ROM but wondering has anyone experienced screen issues after flashing the ROM?

New P3600i sticks at splash screen

Bought it 5 days ago. When the battery went dead last night, I plugged it in to charge and switched it on .It did not go past the Windows Mobile splash screen. I took the battery out as well as the sim and memory cards, to no avail. I left it plugged in overnight and got the battery fully charged (battery indicator light is now green) and the network status green light would (at least sometimes) start flashing on boot, even though the phone would not completely boot up. I CAN get it into bootloader. What I want to know is, should I go to www.htc.com and download and install an official ROM from there, or should I leave all that alone and take it back to where I got it from before I screw it up? Additionally, the phone shows up as a Dopod D810 when registered on www.htc.com, and the radio and ROM versions appear to be lower/older than what came pre-installed in the phone. Advice anyone? I am fairly new and in the process of learning all this wonderful stuff you guys have to teach.

it seems like its already been fiddled with (correct me if i'm wrong people), i would visit the HTC club site and if you can upgrade using your serial number do that, as if you look in the trinity WIKI in "Trinity" forum (Not Trinity 6 forum, here) it states there is a different way to flash the p3600i as its setup different than the standard p3600.

This is exactly what happened to my phone when the battery died (after installing FInixNOver) Is there a problem with these ROMS, or something that happens when the phone dies!... My phone was also 'sticking/frozen/crashed' on the splash screen.
I just reflashed it with a new ROM after fully charging it again.

Thanks VISTAR. And WIZZKID - your phone works perfectly now after the flashing? And do you think it's because of the stuff you installed? BTW my ROM was an official HTC ROM. I actually got called out early this morning to do a flight to the island where I bought the phone (I am a commercial pilot flying Caribbean routes) and I packed it's backside back in the box and sent it to be exchanged. I don't have the new one yet, but I am beginning to wonder if I shouldn't try something else because of this problem of sticking at the splash screen - however I only have a choice of the Kaiser and the S730 at the moment. The P3600/P3600i is among my favourite WM phones of all times, but I don't wanna have to go thru this again. What do you guys think? By the way - I only just realized that I started this post in the wrong section, so please forgive me anyone whom is not pleased by that.

iF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE OF A KAISER I WOULD GO WITH THAT, ITS THE BEST OUT THERE AT THE MOMENT..

Yeah I know but I just don't like it the way I like the P3600i and some of the others. Besides I prefer no sliding hardware keyboard. Moving parts is an issue for me as I am very fussy about wear and tear/looseness. Thanks again for your help. I am gonna move over to WIZZKID's thread on this P3600/P3600i non-starting issue since I am in the wrong section of the forum. Thanks to all those who assisted...

Got a second P3600i and it did the same thing - a hard reset fixed the problem.

2 issues with Tilt keypad

I bought an ATT tilt quite a while ago. It is out of warranty now, and wouldn't you know it, something went wrong.
I'm currently using Dutty's Diamond ROM (with the keyboard fix installed), but the same happened before with the official ROM. While I text some keys don't work. I'll be typing away, just to look at the screen and see that I am missing a bunch of letters, rendering the message unreadable. I then have to go back and fill in all the blanks, and even then sometimes it takes several tries to get it to go. The same happens with the backspace key; sometimes it just doesn't work, other times it does (oddly enough, when it doesn't work normally, it usually lets me hit "function" and use it as the delete key).
My other concern is that there is a ton of lag while typing. It takes a while for letters to show up. Is that normal (for the Tilt, at least. I'm still wishing I had bought a BlackBerry)?

Yeah, I had similar troubles. I just upgraded my SPL and hopefully will be testing it further testing.
what SPL are you running?

I'm not entirely sure, it was a while ago that I flashed the ROM. How do I find out what it is? I tried Device Information, but it wasn't there.

you have to put it in Bootloader mode.
hold power and camera button while resetting with the stylus, then you'll come to the tricolor screen which will give you the SPL info.

KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8

I am having the same exact problem, 1 out of 5 times it works corectly so im thinking it has to be somekind of software, my problem started when I started using ROMeOS's rom's and I have tried different SPL's virsions.

I've heard that the keyboard/membrane may be the problem. Is that likely? If so, is there anywhere to buy them?

You can use this to update your SPL, I just went from 1.0 to 3.29.

What SPL are you currently on? did you reinstall the ROM after updating ur SPL?

cnn.cn has them for cheap AFAIK!

Thanks!
But they only have the outer keypad (the one right below the screen). Well, I hope this can be fixed with software, because the only place I saw that listed them showed them at $39.99 and they were out of stock.

I got the same SPL he has, I did a hard reset afterwards then downgraded back to 1.0 because I saw no improvement.

I thought RomeOS worked best with 3.29.

found this in another thread!

Success! If the SPL doesn't work and I can't convince AT&T to do it, I'll order one and put it in. How do you install it?
EDIT: I just installed skyfire, and noticed that while I was putting in my email and password it was smooth and nothing was skipped. I'm almost 100% certain this is a problem with WinMo itself

I have been having the same problem as you are describing, but I have noticed that it is with heavy use keys like T, H, E, R, S and for some reason V.
I was getting the feeling that it was a hardware problem rather than a software problem because, especially with the V, I have to apply a bit of pressure to get the button to work.
Unfortunately for me I bought mine off Ebay so the warranty is already void.
Incidentally mine started happening when I had the original network providers (T-Mobile) rom on it. I have since installed an original HTC rom and it hasnt made the slightest bit of difference.
So, how easy is it to open up the back of the Tytn II and replace the keyboard unit then?

Oh my god! Thank you for posting this. I swear I have always felt like posting this but always got too lazy. I thought it was only me that had this problem. It is so annoying typing away, and then having to spend another minute to retype the letters that didn't get inputed the first time. It is so frustrating and I thought it was my fault or something, or ROM, I believe its hardware related, but I am not going to spend another dime on this POS. I'm just not so patiently awaiting t-mobile to release their android device, and I will jump ship and never look back! Thanks for the post again, it has given me piece of mind.....ironically

I'm kind of wanting T-Mobile's Android phone, but seeing as how it's made by HTC, I'll wait for the first couple of user-reviews to come out. I bought the Tilt based on website reviews, but man, I was really misled. They said the camera was great, I can only get blurry unrecognizable images. They made no mention of the fact that when you switch to landscape it takes 3 seconds for all the graphics to appear.
I'm disappointed, and I think my next phone will be a plain vanilla flip phone.
Anywho, I'm updating the SPL now, I'll post if it makes any change.

Okay, I now have HardSPL 3.56 and there does not appear to be much of a change. There was some short lag at the beginning of the text string, but afterwards it caught up. I missed no letters this time. I cannot say how much of this was the placebo effect (i.e. it just felt faster), but perhaps if everyone with the issue tries we can have a reasonable answer.
ETA: I added a poll, so if you try this, fill in the poll!

disable word suggestion under Input setting.
i don't miss any characters with it disabled.

It was already disabled for me. I know I didn't change it, I think the ROM came that way.

Help! Dead WiFi and Bluetooth.

Hi folks,
Got my Diamond just over a month ago. WiFi and Bluetooth worked just fine, but I was stuck with a bloody awful T-Mobile ROM.
A week later, I flashed it with Swift's ROM, v6 or thereabouts, and it seemed to work fine. About a fortnight ago, I noticed that WiFi refused to turn on -- I'd click on it in the Comms Manager, it'd think about it for a (long) while, then revert to the "off" position.
The same happened when I tried to do it via Settings...Connections.
Then, Bluetooth started doing exactly the same thing. I've always got 'Beam' turned on, BTW.
No matter, I thought -- I'll be updating the ROM soon, anyway.
So, last week I flashed it with Dutty's 2.3a ROM. AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!
Any ideas? Seems that it's not going to be a ROM issue -- is there any definitive way to test whether it's a hardware thing, i.e. the BT/WiFi chip (or whatever) has melted?
Next step for me is to flash a standard 1.93 ROM. Not that I don't trust you, Dutty
If it's a hardware issue, and I've got to return the phone to T-Mobile, should I flash it back to a T-Mobile UK ROM? If so, any idea where I might find one?
Thanks in advance. To be honest, I'm missing my MDA Compact III

hey yeah i got the exact same trouble...just saw your thread and thought ooh maybee its been solved lol
when you flashed the nu ROM, did you change the name of your phone back to whatever it used to be called...my mate reckons he changed his from admin back to steve and it fixed it...doesnt work with mine though...i changed it back to old name but still the same
now the answer call button is not lighting up so im gonna have to put stock rom back on and call them friendly ppl at t-mobile

Well, at least I'm not alone! Hope you get yours sorted.
I thought I did change the name back...but I might have changed it to something else later (which is probably what caused to suddenly not work). I've tried all the names I might have used, and nothing.
Anyone know what the default T-Mobile UK device name is?
Lastly, can anyone tell me where I can download a stock T-Mobile ROM? If I've got to give the damn thing back for repair, I suppose I should at least make it look untampered with!

My apologies -- somehow, I missed this when I tried searching this lunchtime.
Stock T-Mob UK ROM is on this thread:

Nah, changing to stock T-Mob ROM didn't solve it.
Took it back to the shop, and they sent it off for repair, leaving me to use my battered old Compact III for a fortnight. Got it back last week, with a whole new motherboad (and a 1.93 ROM!), and it seems to work fine. Haven't managed to get a GPS fix yet, which is somewhat worrying, but I've not had time to check through the settings properly.

HTC Touch Diamond making random phone calls

Just short of doing a hard reset of the phone there isn't much else I can think of to be causing this. Therefore I am turning to you.
Randomly my phone will decide to call one person roughly about 6 or 7 times. The phone is never in use when this happens. Often notice this happening while the phone is being charged. The phone is usually plugged in, screen locked and in the leather case that came with it. So far I have noticed it being the same contact however previously a friend complained that I called him a couple times while he was at work (phone was in my pocket) and it is possible this has happened with my voice mail.
I have the stock HTC Rom from Rogers (GSM)
ROM Version: 1.93.631.8 WWE
ROM Date: 10/30/08
Radio Version: 1.00.25.06
External Apps:
A_C_S2U2
Montecristoff Diamond Tweak
iDevelopStuff & Marzens Touch_InCall_Tweak
Microsoft Facebook
Google Maps
mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02
Sushi's Diamond TF3D Config
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just short of removing the apps and waiting to see the only other option is hard reset the phone which is what I am trying to avoid.
Cheers!
[Edit]
I guess this is a duplicate thread. I noticed a few other posts (finally) of people experiencing the same issues. I guess I will try and upgrade the radio if that is my only other option aside from a hard reset. One concern is is there a way to remove Hard-SPL if I need to send my phone in for repair? I would assume yes and if this is the case can I backup the original SPL or is the original HTC one available? Also can you extract the existing radio for a backup? Clearly I am a newb when it comes to all this (first smart phone) and I am just slightly skeptical...

Ahaha!
Maybe then she will pay the phone bill that will be incurred due to the random calling.
Last night I tried to backup the stock rom on the phone to try flashing the energy rom but to no avail. I kept receiving the itsutils.dll error. I even moved the dll myself and now have the new one on the phone but it still will not give me the rom information so I can back it up. I am going to try using another computer tonight possibly and see; but I am certainly running out of options!

You think thats strange, my house phone called my touch diamond when I was in plain sight of both phones, and yes I was the only person in the house. It only called once and it rang twice then rang off......is it ringing any other numbers? thats not a question

Well I don't know whats going on but it hasn't done anything lately. I upgraded S2U2 to the latest (doubt thats the case) so only time will tell.
