[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Guest:
Hi all, Im just new here and thanks alot for u all..

my Qtek 1010 back again to the life :lol:

Once I decided to upgrade my Qtek 1010 (StrongARM) to the new CE ROM which is the 3.16 the newest one while in writing this and you can get it from www.qtek.dk & to upgrade to the newest radio ROM 4.19 and you can get it from the same web site. I CRUSHED MY Qtek 1010 and nothing can do. Please read my full story to find the correct way to upgrade your Qtek 1010 or any other XDA as an experience of mine.

The fault that I made which crushed my pocket pc is that I upgraded the GSM ROM with out making a hard reset to my device before the upgrading process so that a file confliction happened with other installed programs with the new GSM ROM file while it being uploaded to the GSM ROM. Windows CE OS trying to show up a massage to you but can not done because of the dependent of the OS on the GSM ROM. On other words windows CE phone edition depend on the GSM ROM for operating normally other ways it not going to be steady the OS will stop and trying to load the GSM ROM if fail it will stop at this step. System not crushed yet it stopped to this point and waiting for GSM ROM programming (Program B) to be fixed. It can be fixed by various ways the easiest one is the way I have done.

ATTENTION: BEFORE UPGRADING ALLWAYS BE SURE YOUR DEVICE BATTERY IF FULLY RECHARGED.

Problem :

Qtek 1010 corrupted after Radio Stack Upgrade. Windows CE operate but not normally, just the today screen shows up when pressing the volume button.

Aim :

To fixed the device.

Theory :

When you decide to upgrade your device its highly recommended to perform a full reset (hard reset) to your device after backup your data from the device. Then do the upgrade BUT be so patient, upgrading process take a long time. The following steps show the upgrading process :-

1-	Backup your data.

2-	Perform a full reset (hard reset).

3-	Connect your device with activesync.

4-	Run the upgrade setup file.

5-	Wait… wait… wait..

6-	You may damage your device if you didn’t wait.

7-	The device will restart automatically don’t be hurry we didn’t finish yet. Wait..

8-	A progress bar shown.. wait till it become 100%. And wait again..

9-	The device performs an automatic soft reset.

10-	A message dialog appears telling you ROM update is completed successfully.

11-	Done.

When something goes wrong don’t panic take it easy and check this :-

1-	Perform full reset.

2-	Wait to system load.. if it take a very long time perform a soft reset and wait.

3-	Press the volume button the system today screen should been shown.

4-	Bering a memory card (SD or MMC) are the same for this.

5-	Make a directory named by 2577, and copy and autorun.exe into the 2577 directory this program runs automatically when you insert the memory card into its slot. Place a copy of the CAB file of the updating source onto the root directory of the memory card.

\ RSUpgrade.sa.CAB

|----- 2577\

|____ Autorun.exe

6-	place the card into the slot. Auto execution going up follow the instructions

7-	be patient it will talk a long time.

8-	The click tab to start shown, click and wait till the calibration screen shown.

9-	Enjoy your device.

The upgrading of the win CE OS is easy and again be patient .
