Forgive my general newbie ignorance, but this seems the best place around for knowledge on this stuff.
I have a Qtek-branded Wizard. I bought it SIM-free in the UK, and use it on the O2 network. I'd like to get the latest ROM update, as made available to O2 customers via its website for the XDA Mini S. However, because I don't have an O2-linked phone, the RUU software it provides doesn't work.
I've tried accessing the same stuff on the Qtek site, but it refuses to recognise my IMEI, so I can't register on the site.
So now I'm at a bit of a loss. If I knew what I was talking about I'm sure I could install ROMs from elsewhere - like right here - but I don't.
Anyone got some advice for me on this one? Any help would be rewarded with great and pleasurable things.
I have the 2.21.4.1 O2 upgrade file, PM me with your e-mail address and i will send it to you.
Actually, as I have a Qtek phone I'd rather get the latest Qtek upgrade. I've found a 2.17.7 RUU - is that the latest Qtek one you know?
Although, is there a possibility that installing that ROM would screw up my O2 service?

Does anyone have an MDAIII from TMobile released in the UK? I have a German MDAIII using an PDA2K ROM now and would love to put the TMobile UK English version ROM on it....
I have the UK T-Mobile ROM, but haven't worked out how to back it up yet.
Thanks for the reply....I'm not quite sure how you would back out an existing ROM. Does T-Mobile UK have a support website for downloading ROM upgrades and such?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/DumpRom
I sent an email to the developer to see if he could update the tool for the 128 bit header that the MDAIII has instead of the 64 bit header that of the XDAII and I.
You could try it as is though.
Anyone else have any luck dumping the full ROM from a UK T-Mobile MDAIII?
I'd like to get this crappy Imate ROM off my German MDAIII and load he latest T-Mobile UK WWE ROM...
Any and all help is appreciated!!
Same here. Someone must have one :|
I have a UK T-Mobile MDA III. If someone posts me a link to the required Rom dump tools and a quick walk thru or command line then i'll upload it.
Anything to speed up development on it as i really need it unlocked :lol:
Does anyone know if it would be possible to drop the T-Mo MDA III ROM into an XDA IIs?
I love the black case so much in comparison to the PDA2k and MDA III that I'd be willing to buy one and try it out. Of couse, there's also the issue of unlocking it if not already unlocked...
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
Did you figure it out "gonesuper"?
Does anyone know if T-Mobile UK has a ftp site to download ROM updates like Qtek and Imate?
Nothing? If T-Mobile UK is selling the MDAIII through their business channels, where is the support URL to download software for it?
Hi,
I've found a site which describes how to backup the ROM to a SD card on an XDA IIs so presumably it would work for the MDA III? here's the link:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151&PN=1
If anyone is successful I would dearly love to get a copy as I'd like to swap my MDA but not let them know that I've been screwing with incorrect firmwares!
Cheers, JDH
Now that the MDAIII is listed on T-mobile UKs website, does anyone know the web address for ROM downloads on T-mobile UKs websites?
Dagger ga, I am currently complaining to T-Mobile UK about this very issue and there is another guy in the same boat. The MDA III still have the bluetooth and mic issues and although T-Mobile Germany has seen fit to post an patch/upgrade (including blackberry) the support in the UK is non existent.
I would urge you to add your voice to mine and contact T-Mobile UK customer services/technical support. Hopefully at this rate they have got to start to listen to all of us. The non existent support is scandalous for such a high end device.
Incidentally I have written another post as expansys.com on this to the other person who has these issues. See the forum: imate/PDA2K if you are interested.

Hello,
The best thing to do is install another ROM eg, i-mate ROM, and then install all the T-Mobile Extended ROM files from backup...
To backup the extended ROM...
1) Download this file to your device and run it! - ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_ROM_Kitchen_1_22/Tools/xda-developers _Unlocker.CAB
(this will installed the extended rom tools to your device.)
2) Under "Programs\Extrom Tools\" on your device click, "unlock" then click ok, next click "unhide" then ok! After this reset your device.
3) With the device ActivSync'd to your PC, browse to your device from you PC and you'll now see a folder called "Extended ROM" in the main "Device" window. In here are all your extended rom files. Copy ALL the files in this folder to your computer - DO NOT DELETE OR MODIFY ANY FILES IN THIS FOLDER (unless you know what you're doing)!!!
4) Go back into "Start\Programs\Extrom Tools\" on your device click, "lock" then click ok, next click "hide" then ok! After this reset your device.
5) ALL DONE - you should now have a copy of your extended ROM files.
Hope this helps...

Thank you for the advice you have offered. Unfortunately I am a complete novice and don't even know how to get hold of the latest Imate ROM.
If you have the time could you PM me with some further details on how to download the new ROM.
Apologies for being a pain and thanks again :?

Thanks to both DOM and the author of the above post.
I have got some reading and learning to do. Thanks for your patience for someone who is completely new to this whole xda world. No doubt I will have lots of questions along the way so I will keep this message short.

t-mobile rom UK
guys i need t-mobile mda3 rom is any one can uploud for all the xda user pls
Hi All,
Ok, ive been doing a ton of reading on this forum trying to learn about the device and what i could do with and without.
One key thing people say is get rid of all the o2 customization stuff. I understand this is done best by upgrading the phones ROM. I read lots of talk about the Qtek ROM being a popular choice.
I have been playing about with cabs and roms since reading this forum. Currently i have the "RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe" ROM installed on my phone.
My question is, what ROM file shall i upgrade to? Or is the one i am on now ok?
I have also been looking for the task bar program ive seen talked about. Can anyone tell me this programs name?
Thanks for any replies!!! =]

better rom for o2 mini s
I would like to know this too. I've searched the forums for the last couple of days and it's a minefield. :?
I've just got my XDA Mini S from O2 and would like to upgrade my ROM.:shock:
Also what good software is there for this model running WM5. Already have Totalcommander and have tweaked the Camera and opened up Engineer mode but not a lot else.
Can anyone suugest the best ROM to upgrade the mini s to - it looks like we'll be here forever waiting for 02 to release. If someone could post what ROM they have upgarded their UK mini s to that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

O2 Mini S
I am using the following ROM on a number of phones primarily to enable Direct Push email:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/ login xda password xda
Under Qtek Roms:
186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe
Look for one with this in it 2170702_21707102_20710
Only niggle would be the keyboard issue in that it is mapped differently. You can make a change in the registry to correct this:
I also used the following tools:
Under Misc:
Lockiwiz02b to unlock the phone and CID
aWizard-v1_3beta2 does a similar thing but also enables RAPI needed to talk to the Wizard during a ROM upgrade.
MobileRegistryEditor by Breaksoft
Also it may be worth getting the UK_GPRS_settings.zip file to enable the GPRS settings.
I've just put this ROM on my O2 Mini S
RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
And all seems to be OK.
Help, I have Qtek 9100 on the O2 network in England, it doesn't have all the O2 customisations so I'm thinking it is a basic Qtek ROM. At the moment it is running the 1.1.7.5. ROM. I'm looking to upgrade the ROM, the 2.1.7 seems to be the best. But despite reading through the forum I have some questions.
1 - Does the Qtek 9100 need CID unlocking? I've read that if I install the Qtek 2.1.7 upgrade I won't need to CID unlock the phone.
2 - Is the latest ROM shown on the Qtek site the 2.1.7. version?. I have tried to log on to that site but its says it does support the IMEI I've entered.
3 - What is Cingular?
4 - Could some one post the link to the 2.1.7 Rom English upgrade?, I've found a step by step guide to upgrading and loads of links to different ROM's But want to be sure that I've got the link to the right one.
5 - Is it worthwhile carrying out the upgrade, and how likely am I to bust my phone?
Thanks in advance for the advice, In short all I want the best upgrade with the least amount of hassle to upgrade.
Hi,
If you stick with the Qtek rom, you dont need to CID unlock...but it is worth doing for future use...as you can not CID unlock a v2 ROM....yet.
Cingular is a US phone company...like O2, T-Mob etc.
If you follow the instructions, you should be ok, i have done a couple, and touch wood have all been ok.
I think you need a ROM from this lot:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Qtek/
but I dont know which one is the newest...most stable etc.
GOOD LUCK
I'm in a similar situation here, I've currently got the O2 Supplied 2.21.4.1 WWE ROM, most people here seem to be upgrading to other ROM's such as those supplied by QTEK... looking at the Wizard ROMS on the FTP, which one should I be upgrading to? And what are the 'prophet' ROM's on there?
think I've got it it sorted now, shouldn't need to CID unlock if I use the Qtek 2.1.7 release. Not sure I need any other companies Roms unless someone is going to tell me they have some features I can't live with out ?
Hi gang,
I work for a college in Nottingham, we have a number of Vodafone branded V1620's. The project they were used on has come to an end but as a college we want to use them. We are on T-Mobile and when unlocked (Thanks to here!) they run very very slowly. Is there a way to remove all the Voda rubbish so that they are just the basic machine again? Thanks. Alex.
Tells you how to do it in the wiki. Just have to reflash with a new ROM. I think you might be able to get WM5 running on PH20B2's as well.
Hi, yes seen the bits but cant seem to work out which one is the one I need?
Alex
Imate's PDA2K Roms are one of the least branded roms. You'll need to edit device ID of the ROM though - tells you how to in the wiki.
Hi,
Newbie alert!
I am a UK post pay O2 user interested in flashing my Stellar with a new ROM. I have been reading the wiki and other posts about unlocking & flashing my phone, I am happy with doing all of that.
My main question is once I have flashed my phone I know I will lose all my O2 provider settings. Does anybody know where I can find these.
Also can any other post pay O2 Stellar users give me info about which ROM & Radio upgrades they have tried. Tips etc
Thanks,
Chief
hi there Buddy.
when You will flash a new rom, then Your o2 connection will be set up automatically. i.e. I have flashed my t-mob vario III with 6.0 wwe rom and autoconfiguration tool recognized my o2 simcard without any problems.
most of new roms have this tool build in (I know that Leo's Diamonds have it).
hope this helps
