Dear Friends

hello again

i would like to thank the three people ( ARZLEB, from http://www.tabsh.net also Start from http://www.ghuom.com/ and Antonin Hruska http://downloadplace.webzdarma.cz ) who tried to help me with the free space for the upgarde.

i'll upload the files and post the link later today when i'm done writing the instructions on how to do the upgarde.

best regards.

Othman
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] othman:
Dear all

finally it's done and you can enjoy the latest upgrade and here's the instructions.

How to upgarde your Qtek 1010 ?

i have uploaded the Software ROM upgrade at the following site with the help of our friend Antonin Hruska LumpiStefan who provide me free space and thanks to Markh for mirrored the updates with some UK 02 specific instructions .

Download the upgarde files from the mirrored site since the prevous link was not working here

1. Backup your data via ActiveSync or onto a Storage Card. if you don't have ActiveSync you can dowload it here

2. Upgrade the CE build before upgrading the Radio build by running this file first RUU 3.16.52.exe

3. Attach your Qtek 1010 directly to the computer with either a USB cable or Serial cable

4. Ensure the ActiveSync connection is running and is connected to the device and make sure it's connected to the power.

5. After the hard reset the CE update is complete.

6. Reconfigure CE and restore your data.

7. Attach Your Qtek 1010 to the computer again and disconnect the power supply and make sure it's charged Minimum 70 % & it's highly recommended to set off the Security PIN or disable it through start/settings/personal/phone as advice by Mr. Waleed in another threat on this forum

8. Run this file RSU 3.23.01.exe

9. After the soft reset the radio update is complete.

if your device didn't start the upgrade for any reason do hard rest and follow the instructions carefully

good luck and enjoy your little toy ;)

if you need to contact me for any reason this is my E-Mail address anonymous@uae.us

Regards.

Othman :)

Hi

Guys did any one tried the upgrade for t-mobile?

or did any one used the upgrade for 900/1900 XDA?

Thanks

:shock:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] vpreHoose:
The Qtek upgrade will only upgrade the Qtek (unless you twiddle the bits in the binary as described elsewhere on this forum).

BUT it cannot be used to upgrade a T-Mobile or AT&T device. The build is 900/1800 only and you will lose you 1900 ability, ie it won't work in the USA.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] bamse:
Well done Othman and Arzleb!

Has anyone tried this with any kind of success on a European Qtek?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ARZLEB:
bamse thanks my friend :wink:

As for your question well yes my QTEK is european, i got it while i was visiting Belgium.

So far the device ater upgrade is working smoothly, nothing abnormal happened. I tried the GPRS always on with MSN its working great. I didnt get the chance yet to try to WM but i can give you a feedback in a matter of hours.

:) :wink: :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
First of all thanks for sharing the new ROM-Versions....

Now the bad news. I didn´t work at my XDA.

Tried last night to update my XDA to the last Qtek-Versions (ROM 3.16.52.....)

ROM Update works fine, but after the RSU Update the phone didn't work any more.

Have a white screen with the blue taskbar and the little keyboardicon down the right side.

Entering Bootloader mode there comes the Error Message "GSM Error"

Nice screen is the qtek "Booting Screen".

It shows

G <empty>

R <empty>

3.16.52

Hope there are any other hints to resolv this problem.

Have anyone got some experiences with sending it back to O2 with an "unoffical" Softwareversion?

Or is there any posibility to change the ROM Version to an old (original) O2-RomVersion without an extra SD-Card Writer?

Thanks for any help....

Regards

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] :
Well done Othman and Arzleb!

I upgraded and everything work fine.

It also contains SIM Application Toolkit, so I can use my banking program too!

:D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ARZLEB:
Honestly you dont need to thank me, its Othman the hero of this breakthrough and the hero of all the QTEK users. What i did is simply try those upgrades on my QTEK and give you the feedback.

Regarding the WM i just tried it and its excellent i can assure you those upgrades are a major leap from the normal QTEK we have to what we will have after the upgrade.

you can also find a link on my site to download those ROMs:

Again the thanks to Othman he did the greatest job ever

Great work man

Installing on a UK XDA

Guys, Othman,

Thanks for posting the ROM upgrades on there. However, when attempting to the upgrade on my UK XDA, I get errors in the first step and that is the upgrade of the Radio Unit Upgrade (RUU 3.16.52.exe).

It tells me that I need some sort of compatible utility. I have posted some screenshots on http://www.mapero.co.uk/xda_upgrade.html to give an indication of the error messages.

Can anyone help me in resolving this.

Thanks, Hasnain

Hello Othman...

Thanks alot for sharing the files with us, i just was wondering what is new in this version? cuz i have the ROM Ver 3.16.13 and RADIO Ver 4.16.00.

I am looking for this information since last month but no luck yet!

Regards,
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Fortinbras:
Re: Installing on a UK XDA

To Hasnain

Your question has been answered a few times, look through the topics. You need to rewrite the ROM header to match your device (From 001 to 007 - see the Model numbers on your pictures).

Good luck!

My Qtek 1010 did the same... I can get it to show an empty grey screen with the keyboard symbol at the bottom right if I wait for a while. Unless someone has a good solution that does not need a cable I will ask my dealer to reflash it tomorrow.

Thanks. Qtek 1010 upgraded OK.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] adambern:
Re: Installing on a UK XDA

At the risk of asking a stupis question, how do you rewrite the header? Is it just a question of opening NK.nbf and renumbering 3.16-007 to 001?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Re: Installing on a UK XDA

Yes. that's it, Just using an HEX-Editor and change the values in the first line....

Then it will work..

Regards

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] adambern:
Just tried changing the value from 007 to 001 and I get an error on running which says that the ROM is corrupt with a checksum error. Any tips?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Yes. I've got a tip for you...

Here it comes.

Extract the RUU file on your HDD and run the Exe file (don't know if its setup or upgrade or anything else.. The file that starts the upgrade prcosess.....)

Leave anything untouched and go through the menu.

At the last point before upgrading your Phone, there you have to edit the nbf file described somwhere above. Now it will go through the process....

Attention, if you change it before, you will get your Errormessage. Then you have to change it back, or extract the file new and start from the beginning...

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] adambern:
Thanks Stefan. I've upgraded the OS ROM following your instructions. The question is, for the UK, would you bother to update the Radio Stack? I'm on 4.16 and the downloaded version has a lower version number... 3.23.01.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
The lower Version number of der Radio stack is because they are different numerations.....

O2 has other RSU-Version-Numbers than Qtek.

The Qtek-Version is newer and has some features more like wireless modem application.....

But if you don't have problems or do not need this feature you can stay at 4.16

Never touch a running system.....

I've tried to update the RSU too, but now it's not working any more and I'm in big trouble.

Updating is never without risk.....

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] adambern:
Thanks Stefan. I'll stick to the OS ROM update and I'll try the 4.16 radio stack with it.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] hmerali:
Stefan

Thanks for your assistance. If you update the Radio Stack and it doesn't work, is it possible to get back to v4.16. Or is it a case of no return ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Sorry. I can't give you answer in the moment.

Hope i get my SD-Card writer in a few days and can then restore the XDA.

In the moment he is quite dead....... :oops:

Upgrade

Blimey! I've managed to upgrade without stuffing it up, if I can do it anybody can! I had to that hex edit thingy which was a bit scary but after that it just loads itself, the radio upgrade didn't want to play though, it said it was dangerous to downgrade so don't try it at home kids. I haven't tried out my new wireless modem yet, I'll keep you posted.

All,

Thanks for all the assistance that you've given me on this. I've managed to upgrade it okay and it's up an runnint.

Also good to see that the new ROM has the SMS name fix. However, with one bug fixed, another problem seems to have popped up.

When I get a new SMS, the name of the person appears on the header if that persone exists in my contacts list, and whne opening the SMS message the name of the person in " appears with number in <> brackets. (see image 1 on http://www.mapero.co.uk/xda_sms.html.

The when clicking on reply, the same format of name and number is put in the 'to:' section. (see Image 2)

Furthermore, when clicking on send, I get a dialog box saying that the name does not exist in the phone book. (see image 3). when clicking on continue, an error comes up stating that emails can not be sent via SMS. (see image4).

Only once I delete the name and the <>brackets round the number does the message send.

Has anyone who has upgraded faced the same problem ?

Thanks, Hasnain.

p.s - Othman you're a star !! :P
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Bully:

O2 XDA 64MB

I have an XDA O2 64MB version and I live in Lebanon too (It seems that this phone is popular here :wink: )

I was able to upgrade my XDA with this QTEK Rom version, but i wasn't able so far to take advantage of the WM through IRDA, any experience anyone?

What should i do to make my pc use it as a modem?do i need a driver?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Tekflow:
To guest Mazen,

I upgraded mine yesterday.

I can tell you this:

1- The telephone and GPRS are much more stable (especially the GPRS). Although I am a heavy user, I did not encounter any bizarre behaviour up to now, like the GPRS trying to reconnect when it is already connected, then failing of course, or the network connection that was unreachable due to some geographic position, and sometimes remains so even after you reach an area with no connection problems, and so on

2- You have an option that keeps GPRS connected, even when your

device turns off for power saving

3- The name of the SMS sender is displayed (if it belongs to your contacts list, of course)

4- When sending SMS, picking names for the contact list always displays their mobile numbers (and not the e-mail address as it used to be)

5- You can use your device as a modem for a pc through infra red or serial cable connection. I did not test this yet, but it is there.

I'm sure there are many other fixes that make the device run smoothly, better than with the older version of ROM.

Please remember what the other friends said in this forum: when you download the upgrades, be sure that the download was complete (RUU 3.16.52: 13.3MB, and RSU 3.23.01: 1.73MB).

After totally charging your battery, back up your personal data and applications, remove the SIM card, make a standard hard reset, then put the XDA/Qtek in the cradle.

Install the RUU. Do not touch your device all through the installation process.

In the end, remove it from the cradle, make a hard reset, put it again in the cradle, synchronize.

Now install the RSU. Do not touch your device all through the installation process.

In the end, remove it from the cradle, make a soft reset: the installation process continues. Do not do anything but wait till the end.

Put your SIM back. Sof reset. Enjoy.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] civilization:
thanks a lot for your effort Mr. Othman.

after upgrading how can i connect Qtek to my notebook to make a network.

because you said one of the advantage of the ROM upgrade is:

(Wireless modem function (simulates your device as wireless modem and let your PC/Notebook be connected to network)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Tekflow:
That's strange, because I'm not encountering this problem anymore.

Whether I start the SMS message from the New... pop-up menu or from the Tools in the phone interface, when I click on the name (followed by the mobile number), always the mobile number is selected and displayed (and not the e-mail address anymore).
