Hello Everybody!!

Well i'm new in town, i'm a user of a QTEK only for 2 weeks, but i've already upgrade in the next week for 1.66.00WWE and last nigh upgraded again for the new 1.72.

I use the software that you have here to open the files and change the country and also changed the images of testing T-Mobile for the original ones blue skies from QTEK. Everything went very good.

The rom is much more fast than the original (1.60) and 1.66.The new add-ons are very good ones.

The only thing less good was the cleartype that was very good in 1.60 version and with the other 2 more recent became worst.

Thanks for the file!!!!

All well So Far

Installed this new upgrade last night with no problem. Installed over the launchromO2.

I had been unable to get my Belkin GPS and Jabra BT200 to work with the O2 upgrade (even with Bluetooth Tools) so I had gone back to the launch. With Bluetooth tools that worked.

This new version, plus Bluetooth Tools - thanks again Tobias - worked like a charm first try! Easiest I've had it yet.

Now if only this XDA II supported 850 along with 900/1800/1900 I'd be thrilled!

Ok, I am kind of recover it. I was trying to flash it with my friends imates ROM. I've dump it to SD card, edit first 412 bytes to match my loader, his was 1.01 and mine 1.03. Then, something weird happened - restoring from this SD card failed with cheksum error message intantly, but after reset it booted to.... Tmobile rom I've had unsuccesfully flashed before! Now, unit is working fine, BUT I CANT GO TO BOOTMODE ANYMORE! Not by pressing power+action+reset. Even firmware update utility - it finds device everything is OK, then it restarts it and instead of going to bootmode it boots system normaly again. Is bootloader is screwed? How to fix it?

Error accessing image

Strange

I was supposed to edit the ms_.nbf file with ER2003EDIT, I entered the new password and it apparently was correct.

But I got an "Error Accessing Image Files!" error.

I think the ExtROM is corrupt (which probably could explain why some upgrades of other people wont work.

Opening the other two images (radio and os) with the new passwords have no errors whatsoever.

How about those who successfully upgraded, did you edit the ExtROM image successfully?

Can someone repost the EXE on a zip (just to be sure)

or post an accessable ms_.nbf

Good thing I havent tried using this upgrade yet, I might be one of the victims of the corrupt installations.

Can someone explain to me how the country id part works? I understand that there is a go around, but I'd rather not get into that.

Regarding the how and why people get the country id error, please respond to these questions.

1. Is it really country, as in USA, UK, France, etc., or is this only in reference to brand?

2. In other words, If I have an MDA II, with T-Mobile 1.60.36 ROM, would the new 1.72 ROM consider that the same country?

3. Or since I see this has a UK reference, and my ROM came actually from the Netherlands site, does this mean that I will get into the country (from Dutch to UK)?

I hope I have not asked the ridiculous. I have downloaded, and I'm excited to install, because I have never been very happy with the 1.60.36 upgrade.

What ROM were you using prior to upgrade? Was it a T-Mobile ROM?

If not, did you implement country code change through the ERedit tool?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dataphd:
I was using the original t-mobile 1.60wwe rom set.

So far everything seems to be working fine. Don't see any new bluetooth anything.

I did find that the fax function doesn't work correctly, and it seems to turn off the phone when used.

It is definately faster! The radio upgrade doesn't seem it has anything that was noticeable.

Still checking things out. Now that I have figured out flashing I am going to make my own custom set.

Still new to the phone flashing, but loving learning all of this, plus I can custom setup everything exactly the way I want it. Get ridbof what I don't want, and adding what I do want.

More to come...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gratefuled:
OK, so you were using a T-Mobile ROM.

Re: Country Code

Dobbo,

I could easily be wrong, but don't you do it the other way round, and set the country code id to whatever your device actually is in terms of its existing ROM?

In other words, on an O2 XDA2 with the O2 ROM, you set the new Orange ROM you wish to use, to O2 as the country code?

Isn't that how it works?

from 1.66 WWE to 1.72 WWE (general upgrade procedure)

guys, just follow the instruction attached (copied fron other posts) and the upgrade will be ok.

the zip contains a .bat for update from QTEK1.66 ITA to TMOBILE1.72 WWE, but you can use (changing parameters) for different "origin" ROM.

P.S. I'm using 1.72 since 3 hours, here my first impressions:

1) OS seems to be really faster than ever !

2) bluetooth: I can't find differences from 1.66

3) SMS: ok (send and receive)

4) GPRS connection & WEB browsing: ok

5) MMS: ok (send & receive)

6) email: ok (send & receive)

Okay, Everything works great. This is what I found:

1. Removed some programs that changed the settings in the extended ROM. http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=tutorial

2. MMS Composer 1.6.0.12 kept giving me the error message that I couldn't download while roaming. I went into the options and found that roaming wasn't checked, no matter what I tried it didn't work. Either there was a bug or it was hard set, so I went into the registry and found it under the ArcSoft, changed the Roaming setting from 1 to 0 and now it works.

3. TrueFax 2.0 .. Ugh.. I've tried receiving and sending a fax with NO LUCK. I'm going to research forum message: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=5936&highlight=kse+truefax and see what happens from there.

4. Radio Stack. I am having lots better luck with the 1.12 radio stack vs. the 1.10 stack. With 1.10 my signal would drop off and the phone wouldn't reconnect at occasion. I would have to go into the options an search for networks manually before it would reconnect. With 1.12, I haven't expieranced that problem for 3 days now.

Hope this helps some of you,

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] orinoco:
Hi Italos,

Thanks, it works perfectly. I wonder whythey did not include this with the ROM.

My overall impression is that this ROM needs A LOT of work.

(1) the always-on GPRS issue, solved by Italos already; why is this not included in the 1.72 ROM?

(2) the BT stack does not seem to improve anything. I actually tried to install the "Bluetooth Tools" add-on from http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/ and it does not seem to work as it did with previous XDA2/MDA2 ROMS, i.e., it does not give you the option to install different profiles. This is not good. I don't see any benefits in the "new" BT stack.

(3) A lot of the nice plug-ins in the Today screen (for example, I really liked the power meter bar)are gone. How can I get those back?

Thanks for any advice.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] peppepep:
Hi dear!

Italian ROM is sometimes embarassing in the way it has been translated! I don't have problems in using English language (at least in my computer!) therefore I was wondering how could it be moving to this new ROM...

I had problems with 1.66 ROM related to my SD512 sandisk, my PPC went into forced hard-reset every day since I removed the SD, so may be with ROM 1.72...

BUT don't know yet...

p.s. THANK you Italos

p.p.s.

How did you proceed in doing that?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pix09:
1. download the ExtendedROMUnlocker attached;

2. copy it to your device and execute it;

3. create a "program files" directory and cut/paste the folder "ExtendedROMunlocker" there (mdkia teached) (of course only if your device is not english language, otherwise the folder already exists and the program is alredy placed in there after installation)

4. run the program and check the unhide extrom option, then soft reset

5. run the program and check the unlock option.

6. now you can do anything you want with your extended rom. Example: change the complete extrom dir with any other ext rom of any version.

This way, you keep your language and upgrade the programs version in extrom and/or cook your own extrom without flashing...
