Hahaha, well no harm, no foul. You found the s730m recovery okay? I can post a link to it. After that you can flash one of the stocks from my thread posted earlier.

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

And be thankful, the recovery u were flashing, the phone its actually for must have a different partition table. If it flashed an incompatible recovery into the recovery partition of this phone u couldn't hard bricked it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DuceTheTruth:
That's what confused me, I was flashing the file for the s730m the whole time from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201341...and a couple others... because I thought the r740c was the trackball variant...so I thought I read. I got my flash counter all the way up to 13 before I flashed the rom from this thread.

I finally flashed cwm to the phone and made a back-up....but after rebooting a few times and then going back into recovery..cwm was/is no longer the recovery...it is back to the android recovery although with a few new options...is this still cwm or did I lose it and need to re-flash?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] atmu5fear:
It can't revert once installed. Cwm looks very similar to stock. If there's an install from zip option and and adb sideload option an advanced menu etc, its cwm. It will say clockworkmod v.x.x.x.x as well. I think 6.0.3.1 is the latest for this phone. Also, the ROM from this thread is not working. I posted a link in this thread to 3 working zips for this phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DuceTheTruth:
ok, this is weird weird weird......

when I flashed the cwm recovery it worked because I seen the cool little logo with the black hat in the background and was finally able to make a back-up.....

and then a little later when I tried to go back into recovery the phone would reboot a few times....and now when the recovery comes up it says "Android system recovery <3e>" with the android in the background layin down gettin open heart surgery lol...

same options as stock recovery only now there is a new one which says "apply update from ADB"....that was never there before

also, when I go to "apply update from external storage" I can see the clockworkmod folder along with the back-up that I made.

Im not sure what happened.

And I do stand corrected.....I did pick that cwm from one of those 3 links you posted and not from this thread.....sorry for that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andronald2:
Sorry guys, I had to leave for a while.

I don't know how many of you remember the XDA member andronald, but I am the same member. I had to leave XDA because a lot of stuff was going wrong in my life, and I needed to step back from all of my commitments for while to get myself back into a workable state of mind.

I am happy to report that I am attempting to make a port of KitKat (Android 4.4) to the SGH-S730M. I know a lot more than I used to about Linux, but may need some help doing this. My main concern is making a kernel that supports the Samsung Galaxy Discover, and also the newest version of Android. Any help or pointers would be really appreciated, and if you know anything about porting newer versions of android to older devices, or kernel development please PM me!!!!!

I really want to see some development for this device. Yah, its specs aren't that great, but this phone is perfectly sized to suit my needs. Its cheap, efficient, and usually reliable (except for battery life, which I think a new Kernel could fix).

Though I might buy myself a nexus 5 someday, I hope to see this device get somewhere first. If I had another phone, I could sepend more dev time on the 730M.

Thanks, andronald - Ronald Buckingham
[Miscellaneous Android Development] orangeworx:
still trying to mess with this phone... am glad these threads aren't actually closed

i got a couple of 730Ms one's with stock recovery, one with CWM... tried to flash the root files (Root-SGH-S730M.zip) but was getting installation aborted with status code 255

any info? should i try flashing one of the 3 ROMs posted a few posts back?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djparent:

I searched all over and can't find anything. Is there a KK or Lollipop rom for this phone? I know KK may actually run pretty good on this phone since KK is optimized for 512MB of mem.

I am currently running dr_evil-v1 on it. The rom itself is OC'd to 1ghz. It's a very nice rom.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
Hi All!

To simplify the update to the latest Dopod ROM for non-Dopod devices, I have posted the ROM as the unpackaged fileset with update utility replaced to one not checking vendor ID.

How to use:

1. Download the ZIP here

2. Extract all the files in one folder

3. Go to the folder and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

4. Follow the screens as usual

5. Restart and enjoy

Used to update my Qtek S200 to Dopod ROM. Should work for any other vendor, including Dopod itself as well :)

Disclaimer: It is just repackaged files got from this site with no addition from me. Use it at your own risk. I have no ability to support you.

Update: URL fixed...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
Please, be advised!

While updating the ROM, will be several stops, I had ones at 80%, 95% and 100%, may be other points exists. During the stops, progress bar on the PDA becomes red, the both progress bars on the PDA and the PC does not moves. No dialog or warning appears.

Be patient and don't touch anything! It is not a problem! The full update may take up to TEN minutes! Once again, be patient! Just wait!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Simlockman1:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Richard Fantom:
Re: Cross-vendor simple update to the latest ROM posted on F

File name is RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip

so I asssume that it is the World Wide English version.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
The ROM is World Wide English. The interface is English, but works well with cyrilic data and has a lot of locales inside. Possible, you will need some extra software for non-latin screen keyboard.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Richard Fantom:
J. - I'm glad you mentioned the "stops" during the update process - otherwise I would have been worried. Anyway it works. Thanks for posting the file.

The localisation for phone operators all are foreign to me (I guess Chinese?), but otherwise it works fine on my JAMin with my Orange UK localisation settings added.

Incredible! What the device and the ROM version you trying to update?

I have tested it just for my Qtek S200, sorry, I have no a basket, full of different branded Prophets :)

First of all, ensure that you are downloaded ZIP archive, NOT exe file. Exe file is just original Dopod's update which works only for Dopod devices.

However, it is possible, that not all Vendor ID checks cleared from the utility. I don't know who is made the patched utility, but great respect to him once again!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ingenious:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
Hi All!

Let's thanks again to a man who has patched the romupdateutility.exe for not to check the vendor ID. It is not me :)))) I am just extracted the ROM files, replaced the utility, zipped and uploaded it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
Sure it is possible, but you need to know that to downgrade of ROM is not so simple as to upgrade. The standart utility won't reflash the currently installed ROM version is greater, that a new one.

If you think to install another ROM, guess you smart enough not to have need for techsupport :))))
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
2 All, who have lost some system files after the upgrade (*.dll, *.exe, voicedialer, MMS, e.t.c)

The most probable reason for this behaviour is some system data is restored from backup. In fact, the most backup tools doing system snapshot, including EXTROM and WM5 registry. If you try to save your time, not installing your applications again, but restoring from backup, you will have the old EXTROM version back on place. Double funny, if it is cross-vendor update. Due of some differencies in system layout and issues with signed files, some parts of the system may be lost.

Please, follow the guidelines:

1. NEVER restore any system things (applications, registry) if you changed ROM.

2. After reflash and "newbie" startup sequence, check the system and preinstalled applications. In fact, the off-the-shelf device in your hands. Tune it up for your taste again.

3. Reinstall your applications. Keep in mind, if you installed it from PC before, the copies are still on the PC an you don't need any CDs, e.t.c., just connect to PC with ActiveSync, go to the Tools\Add/remove programs, check all you need to be reistalled, and yes,yes,yes,yes on the PDA screen :))))

4. Restore from backup only your application data.

That's all folks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
Wow! You have reflashed S200 with code for Qtek 9100.... Bad idea... However, boot ROM should survive.

Try the next:

1. Download and extract the right ROM (from this topic, for exapmle)

2. Disallow USB connection for ActiveSync

3. Enter BootROM by holding down the Camera button and resetting the device (hold down the button until three-color screen appears)

4. Connect to the PC by USB. "USB" sign should appear on the PDA screen.

5. run RomUpdateUtility.exe

6. Folow the screens.

Warning: I have never did it before. The steps is derived from the upgrade process of the Universal device. I guess it should work for the Prophet as well, just as described. However, review the source carefully: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method

Possible, you should keep in mind the warning from there:

I am very appreciate if you post here the results of the steps. Hope it will helps.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
Re: Sorry

This is a part of ActiveSync. You should have it installed. Update utility uses it to put an executable to the PDA and run it there. The program just enters BootROM on PDA, and then the update utility starts the reflash process.

Possible, you may enter BootROM manually and then run the update utility, as described in the previous post. But I am not sure it works. Better to install ActiveSync.

Pleas, let us know here if it helps...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] carlicos:
Thanks J. Walker

Thanks Walker. You are right. Now the exe file runs and executes the program for update.

Now I ask myself: This seems to be quite easy for newbies to perform ROM update (in my case language change). Then, what is the advantadge of JAFWM system (by the way, I order one unit yesterday :oops: )

Thanks a lot again.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
Re: Thanks J. Walker

JAFWM - what is it? Is it a fruit or an animal?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] carlicos:
Nice joke ...

I am new here, then I wrongly assumed that JAFWM was extremely known in this gremium. Basically you can see it in www.jafwm.com and is a USB key which you plug in yoru PC and then you have "license" to download any ROM file from the web site and do the upgrade smoothly, flawlessly, and special for non experts (as they claim).

Thanks anyway for some comment than can help me in deciding if use JAFWM or doing directly as shown in your posts
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
Re: Nice joke ...

In my region Jamin has no sales at all. The only HTC available by QTek.

In fact, the thing is not useless. It is nice for one, who won't know how it works, just call, read, write...

Doing something like cross-vendor update, you, in fact, violating some license, and you should klearly know what you are doing, otherwise you can got inoperating device and have to go to the service or look other help. This way is not for each... However, things like HTC devices are not for each by nature...

Have a good luck!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] carlicos:
Thanks Walker, but...

If you clik the FEATURES tab in www.jafwm.com you will see that Phophet Qtek is supported as many others.

And language change is one of the features supported. About illegal, yes, I assume so, but like the work described in the posts of this forums.

My point is

Does this JAFWM devide will help me to prevent "damages" more than using just the FTP ROM files stored in this site, or is about the same. Probably there is some user of JAFWM in this forum....

Thanks anyway

I cannot go back to the jamin rom even with the no vendor program.

It wiil go red at 80% I wait Then program restart green ok until 95% when it goes red again then i wait for 15 minutes and the program times out and say this device cannot be upgrade with this rom get a later version.........

Anyone knows how can I save my present qtek S200 spanish rom bc maybe if I have any problems with the warrantty i would have to downgrade it back to my present rom. Does any one know it?Please, help me ánd be patient bc I do not understan anything cause i´m newbie.

Thanks in advance
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] LRobbie:
Re: Please Robbie

I bought it in Luzern (German as well).

The version you wrote obove I already used but it cannot help me. At the beginning of this topic you will see the direction of J.Walker. You can download the file from sentence "Download the Zip file

here

" (you just click the word "here" and it will be automatically download). I cannot remember exactly the file's name (the name is "RUU...Dopod..WWE...Asia...novendorID..." or something like that) but it can work without checking vendor ID, which I faced with the versions before.

When it completes at 80% and 95% you will see the red color and it takes a long time but DO not do anything, just let it go. When it finishes and restart, U will see English version.

I don't need to unlock CID and I just follow the direction and you should follow that.

I am not sure how it works with your Qtek, so you can try if you really need.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

So did u unpack the rom with winrar and then use the hacked rom update utility or just run the .exe rom file?

As ive tried evrything to get my jammin back to the jammin rom from the latest dopod burt always comes up with invalid command at %95

I would of thought its the same as an m600 or not :?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J273:
Also did u flash to the latest released dopod rom or the 1 before as maybe i haven't tried if i flashed back to the older dopod rom then back to jammin with it being the same build?

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] digger:
I flashed with the following dopod rom RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip

Unpacked this one and replaced the ROMupdate utility with the one downloaded in ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.zip. However, I guess that this wasn't needed as the dopod rom looks like it has already been replaced (hence the NoVendorID part).

I then just unzipped the JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip which gives you JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_shi.exe which I just ran. To be honest I was a bit surprised when it all worked as I was kind of expecting it to complain about my M600 not being an iMate.

There was definitely a pause at 80% and 95% when flashing both roms, but both completed without error.

what can i do?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] digger:
The reason that I went from the newer dopod rom to the older imate rom was that I do use the voice dial from my bluetooth headset and this just doesn't work with the dopod rom. In fact it seemed to completely screw up my headset - when I pressed the answer button on my headset (to try and activate voice dialling) it would switch to the phone and seem to keep the voice channel open (you could hear a slight hiss on the headset) and no matter what I did it would not close. The only way I could get it to close was to manually run the voice dial software which after I spoke, or let it time out, only then would the voice channel close...

I didn't keep the rom on long enough to find any other benefits/pitfalls.

How to downgrade the version?

Hi

I see that a few people have asked this question already, but never got an answer.

Once you have upgraded the device with the latest DoPod version as described by the OP...

How do you downgrade to another version (I would like to reflash the device with the firmware that shipped with the unit)

Thanks in advance

Going Back to The original latest jamin rom

My feeling is that if we can get an earlier version of the dopod rom(with a lower rom version of the jamin rom . then reflash with that lower dopod rom version.I believe that after that you could reflash the jamin with the latest version of Jamin.

Can somebody upload an earlier version of the dopod so I can try this...

Anybody????

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
Downgrading

Unfortunately, no idea. However, you may try to reflash with NoVendorID version of the updateutility.exe. You should extract all the files from th ROM EXE file (in fact, it is just self-extracting, self-running ZIP), and then replace the updateutility.exe with one, got from xde-dev..s ftp site.

Funny, but someone has done much more strange thing this way: to put Qtek 9100 image to Qtek S200 :))))) And drive it to... hmmm... not starting...

Have a good luck, let us know here, if your success this way...
