Hello Everyone,
I just joined this forum as i was able to buy a QTEk with the following details:
Version de ROM : 1.13.74 ESN
Version de Movil : 1.04.02
Version Protocolo : 42.37.P8
Version de ExtROM : 1.13.169 ESN
As I am more fluent in English than Spanish, I wanted to upgrade my ROM to English, but also I would need to Backup the ROM of the spanish version so if there are problems with the phone, I can flash it back to the original manufacturer installed ROM.
What program do I need to Backup the ROM (and restore in the future) before I start fiddling?
Also, I heard that I can erase Extended ROM. As of now, what can I use the space that I will gain from erasing the contents of the Extended ROM?
Also one thing i noticed is that some of the keys have rub marks coming from the upper part of the universal (the screen) I think they touch eachother when it is colsed. Is this a factory defect?
Finally, I don't know where to register and get support for my QTEK. Where do you download/search for patches? Where do I register this device? Should I have gotten an i-mate instead?
Thanks in advance for all your comments, guys.
Jorge
GUYS?!?
Hello Anybody out there?
I have posted this message 2 weeks ago, a few views but no answers so I'll go ahead and update you on what's happened:
Thanks to BUZZ_LIGHTYEAR I was able to RAW DUMP my Spanish ROM to a File which I exchanged for a decoded nk.nbf file from an unpacked English ROM Update (the QTEK WWE) then I encoded the RAW file so now I have a new nk.nbf file which i pressume is the Spanish verion.
I'm not sure if it'll make a difference that the rest of the files are in English but will this update any UNIVERSAL to the Spanish verion? Anybody needs Spanish ROM and is willing to test this out? I can send you the Files needed? If it doesn't work you just have to flash back to the English. I haven't tested it yet because my device is originally Spanish so I have no fallback ROM if it doesn't work. But I followed BUZZ's instructions and I don't think it's gonna cause a problem.
Hmm,
seems this topic is very boring to everybody here, oh well....
Anybody has similar case of rubbed-out keys on the keyboard?
Just to show that there are persons available reading and having an opinion
Left and right of my keyboard, a little lower then the keys itself there are two outstanding rubber ? pads ? protecting the display from touching the keyboard, be it in portrait or landscape mode. So no, I do not have this problem.
Ruud
Mine have the rubber stuff too, Maybe i have them a little low... Could I possibly get a replacement? I don't think this can be considered wear-and-tear as i only had my phone for 1 month..... And the "damage" was caused by open/closing of the phone. Not using of the keyboard.
I would say certainly worth a try.
Good luck.

i need spanish rom
I bought my qtek 9000 from O2 (UK) by ebay, it works great, but i need spanish software, i'd like to probe MoviStar, vodafone (if available) and free Spanish versions. I also need instructions or manual, i flashed a xda2 once, but i can't remember how i did, i think i put it in a special test mode. Thanks.
I have posted the QTEK Spanish ROM in the uploads section. Please look for it. Both OS and Extended ROM are there.
Just download the OS, and run the "noID" file to upgrade your QTEK to Spanish. Just remember that also the keyboard will be configured to Spanish (which has the "Ñ" character) so you have to re-map it back to whatever keyboard you have. You can search how to do this in the forums.
Just download the 2 said files, then you can upgrade your ROM. These ROM's are dated OCTOBER 2005
what do i need for backuping my system to a sdcard?
Im not sure. I backed-up to my PC. I think you can search here for grab_it program that dumps to SD card but i'm not sure it will work for WM5 or Universal
Well, how did you backup system to your pc?
and thanks again.
Actually, what i backed up was my OS nad ExtendedROM. No personal customizations.
You can see in my second post that i was able to do it thru steps i saw at BUZZDEV.NET thanks to buzz-lightyear.
It's under "how to d2s dump" you can follow my story there on how to backup ROM. Esentially it copies your operating system to a file on your PC which you can then install on another device after encoding/decoding.
I have posted my Spanish QTEK ROM on the FTP site so you can change your QTEK to spanish if you want.
What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:
ROM Version
ROM Date
Protocol Version
Radio Version
Extended ROM Version
What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:
ROM Version
ROM Date
Protocol Version
Radio Version

It is not a shipping ROM but you need 2 files:
1st: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK Spanish ROM (1.13.74 ESN).rar --- This is the OS ROM
2nd: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK ExtendedROM.rar --- this is the Extended ROM
i have the spanish extended rom, but the jasjar don´t reconice ?¿
thanks for alll
You have to install first the QTEK OS ROM then copy the Extended ROM after. Where in Spain do you live?
You can call me if you need more help. But i speak English, my Spanish is MIERDA

Hi to all!
I have a WWE Jasjar and i've been waiting for the italian rom for a long time.
Then imate released it and I upgraded my jasjar with new rom.
Everything is fine except for a thing: the keyboard!
I didn't consider that in Italy there's a different layout and probably the Italian Jasjar has a different keyboard.
I've obviously got the standard one, with english keyboard.
Is there a way to change the keyboard layout back to the original english one or the only solution is to get back to the WWE rom?
Thanks
Is the Ita Rom avialable by i-mate? Are You sure?
Absolutely yes! I have already installed it! You must be a registered user to download the rom.
And I have found a solution to my problem: now the keyboard work perfectly.
Everything's fine.
famusc do you live in Italy ??
i got big problems with this phone, especially because i can only make one call or more and it's need to turn off the radio and than back on to be able to make a new call.
Is this a behaviour that occurs to anybody ???
Ruppia
famusc: if you've solved this problem, perhaps you should change the title of the thread to show what you've achieved...
V
Yes I live in Italy.
I've never had any problem with my phone and especially with phone calls.
To change the keyboard layout:
Edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty and change the value to 10409 hex.
The keyboard will be remapped to the english one after reset.
Hey folks,
I live in Germany and bought a german MDA Pro from T-Mobile. Now I usually use english-software on any device I have, Windows, Mobile Phone and my HTC Universal. The only problem I have with any other ROM than a German one is the Keyboard-Symbol-Support.
With the German OS I can type an o and hit one time the "SYM" Key and get an ö which for example is very often used in Germany.
With international versions I have to hit SYM 3 to 4 times. :x
Or is there a way to change that?
I read somewhere her in the Forum where I can change the Keyboard-Layout, so that Z is Z and not Y and vice versa, but the problem with the german "Umlaute" is still there.
So typing with the Keyboard is really anoying. That's the reason why I'm stuck with the german T-Mobile 1.20 ROM although I would love to use a newer one from QTEK or IMATE...
Can anyone help me?
TIA.
Hi NiTeSHiFT,
same for me, bought the device in Germany as VPA-IV, changed to english ROM from iMate asap. Using latest iMate now also.
I asked about this before and understood it is in the Softkeyboard, but I have no solution until now.
Anybody ?

ere is a file 'sym.txt' in the windows folder. You can edit this (best way to copy it to your desktop/laptop computer, adit and copy back to the xda) and you will be able to change the order of the different character as you wish.
Hi Fortinbras,
well thanks m8, that's so easy and fast to change.
I had the old Vodafone-file still available, change and soft-reset.
Perfect, thanks

Hello!
Is there anyone who has the original german sym.txt file to exchange it with the english one. It would be great, if someone can post it here!
Best regards!

I'm not very good with all the technical stuff, just barely manage to flash a ROM from the microSD card (I think the o2-trion model HRM100 doesn't have a bootloader over USB or something) and install some apps ..I've been reading around for 2-3 years, following the developments for first my old Wizard and then my xda-trion..
I've tried a couple of ROMs for the hermes, using CRCs latest stable one (v10.2 was it?)..it's been pretty stable, but somewhat slow to boot (splash-screens) and not so responsive..and transcriber, or "draw" mode doesn't work..
and always have trouble because I use two languages German and English..and still couldn't really solve that..
Also, I've always wondered, why update the radio-rom? and is it possible with a HERM100 type?
Radio Rom updates are usually done for
1) improved battery life
2) improved quality based on where you live
However its strongly recommended that you dont upgrade the radio as it can totally F up your phone.
Try Binky11's 3.9 rom, ive had no issues with it and i tested it throughily (with the help of a couple of people) before it was released
I'll give that a try then, and how's the battery-life with it?
Also, what's quite important for me is that it works with German input (hardware-keyboard mainly) but also let's me write/email in English..how does that work?
im not to sure really i suppose using advanced config to set keyboard to german.
Help to get German+English dict. working simultaniously..
I've managed to get the keyboard somewhat working with that, though when typing an "ä" (ae) I have to press "dot"-"space" x-times until I get through all the "variants" of "ae" (from accented, weird other ones etc..)
Also, the predicted words and spell-checking doesn't work..
..maybe a German-Member in this forum can describe a simple process to get german and english language working? Preferably with WWE-ROMs so German users can try these great ROMs that are being cooked, and get the input/dictionarys working properly for their devices..
youd probably need a german rom then.

you can use the german input cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305811
Then you will get an additional german softkeyboard and the wordcompletion will be german. Also the umlauts on the hardkeyboard will work as with the german roms.
Before installing the input-cab you have to install the sip-change cab:

Hi All !!
First - Thanks alot for this forum! it's the BEST!
I'm currently using PDACornerPro.V27 on my TyTN. but the same error happend with Schaps, Corner v20 and another TouchFLO rom.
Whenever I install Paragon LENG hebrew support on my device it just disables any way of accessing the Phone Dialer and the Contacts. Removing it doesn't work either, once installed - it f#$ks it up for good.
I've tried searching the registry with no luck whatsoever...
Can any of you Hermes Gurus help me out here?
Thanks!

NEW HEBREW BY ME:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2970594#post2970594
don't use the LENG hebrew,in addition to the problems u describe, its doesnt support the hardware keyboard of tytn.
personally this is what i do:
1.install Hebcert.cab from orange extended rom(attached below)
2.install 180407_HebrewTyTN.cab but DONT restart when prompted.
3.goto Progs. Lang setting(hagdarot safa 3 letters icon alef bet gimel) change the upper bar from the top option to buttom(it suppose to say interface lang. and the upper is hebrew the other is english but you cant c before reset)
4.now press (x) to reset
//////note: u dont have contacts hebrew browsing in the normal contact manager,
so use pocketCM with the setting.ini file i attached(just put in the pcm folder in progam files
//////also u dont have smart dialling for hebrew, so use this one jimmy98 made for us its works great with htc touch dialer also attached below(u can use different skin with hebrew letters).

Thank you so much!
haven't tried it yet since it requires me to flash a new rom, I'll get to it this weekend.
anyhow, thanks alot, it's nice to have a supporting community.
bekef dude
u know u can hard-reset right? that way u dont have to flash anew rom
but if u feel like changing anyways i recommend this ones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428597
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439973
i use the last one cause its lighter but if u dont feel like working much go with the first it has everything plus youtube and google maps etc.
Yeah, I know I can Hard Reset.. but I've been meaning to change to a new rom for sometime now, and Hard Reset will make me install everything all over again so I used the opportunity to flash.
I have a problem with the hebrew, Maybe you came across it too - after installing the hebrew, When I press the power button the device goes to standby and when I press the power again it doesn't get out of it until I soft reset it...
It renders the device quite useless..
P.S I've flashed the device with the rom u've recommended. it's reallllly fast.
Tytn Doesnt wake up
its a known issue hate it when that happens
you can read more here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273836
it happened to me a few times i still havent figuered out why,
but thebest solution is to change the rom,
try falshing another rom i'm working with the lighter one ive posted and it works smooth havent tried the other so i guess thats the one you flashed.
good luck
No luck... so far I've tried with 4 different ROMs and didn't succeed in any attempt, I've tried both of the ROMs you've recommended, PdaCorner v.27 RBSN 3G and CRC dev 14.1 beta... as I said, The hebrew installs fine but once the device goes to standby/power saving it just dies...
I've tried doing what the post you've ref'd me to offered - disabling the advance network features on the pc-usb connection and removing some addons like the Voice-Commander... no luck either... been at it all night
is it possible that HebCert.cab or 180407_HebrewTyTN.cab you've attached are not of the right version?
The Hebrew is WAAAAAAY better than Paragon's LENG (as long as the device stays on) that doesn't even let me use Opera past ver8.6, and I'd really hate to give it up.
Please advise..
the version of the hebrew is from my phone but is identical to the hebrew cabs from other orange tytn phones.
+iv'e dumped my ext.rom like a year ago then my phone broke (physicly) just last week and
the new tytn orange gave me had the same exact cabs for hebrew
(with almost the same rom newer version but wm5 uglyass green lame-o)
so that's not it for sure..
++it happened to me as well with several roms with the same hebrew cabs
for no apparent reason but now it works just fine.
+++u can always go back (assuming u backedup)to the original orange rom
that came with your tytn and dump the hebrew cabs from your ext.rom though it will be a waste of time.
one thing i did that help with the PDAcorner's older version with this problem was to update the HARD-SPL version to 2.3
..so check your spl version by reseting to the bootloader
(reset while holding the power button and the top left ok button)
if its lower than 1.40 theres a big chance an update would do the job..
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/
update to 2.1 or to the latest then reflash i suggest to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439973
cause we know it works for sure.
+don't install nothing not even the hebrew..check if the device wakes then install ONLY the hebcert(btw:u install this first always) and main file but change the interface language before reset so it wont boot with hebrew menus even once..post back if the problem presists.. good luck
I Refuse to give up!!
Well, I did everything you offered, bit by bit -
1. Updated to HardSPL 2.1
2. Flashed to HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V5_WWE_12.11.2008
3. Did an ON and OFF tests, few times - after power off, soft reset eg.. (ps I found out that Soft Reset from the os doesn't work either after the hebrew installation - so I checked that too) - all worked fine.
4. I've installed the HebCert.cab and then the main file.
5. changed the interface language to english.
6. Reset and voila... same bug all over again
I thought maybe it had something to do with installing the hebrew while the tytn is connected to activesync so i did all that without it being so.
got any more ideas?
# _
listen this time youll get it stright,..
i think its all cause you got the WRONG rom..
i saw you wrote "HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V5_WWE_12.11.2 008" rom while i was talking about:
27/10/2008 ROM 3.62.502.20 (Manila2D) V.20 Build 20921 by PhamQuang
http://rapidshare.com/files/157947939/HERMES_WWE_3.62.502.20_B20921_Manila2D.rar as the lighter rom installed
anyways i felt kinda guilty cause i recommended it (though i told you i havent tested it but i guess you didnt understand to which one i was refferin)
so i flashed the rom you were talking about just to check
and suprise suprise my tytn didnt wake same as yours..
reflashed back to 27/10/2008 ROM 3.62.502.20 (Manila2D) V.20 Build 20921 by PhamQuang(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439973)
and TA-DA works like a charm..
so i would suggest to repeat the same stages as from your last message only this time with the right one
good luck buddy im sure this time itll work
btw the password for the file ishamQuang
If I haven't said it so far - thank you ever so much for your time and effort.
Well, I did write the name of that rom but I've tried both roms on the same process...
I did, however, manage to get some progress on another angle - I've updated my radio version (was the only thing we didn't cover) and now it works with the Manila2D rom. alas, nothing else seems to be working...
I've started to install all my favorite progies (Adobe Reader LE, PocketRAR, SPB Insight, JBED, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, etc...) and everytime the darn phone hangs on one of the installation and just DIES... only hard reset can revive it...
I'm gonna start from scratch - tomorrow I'm gonna take a naked rom and start building on top of it... I must be doing something wrong. only good indication is that the phone can get in and out of standby WITH the your hebrew version - so I know the hebrew is ok.
I'll go thru with it tomorrow and keep you posted.
again, I really appreciate your efforts to help. thanks.
your very welcome.. to be honest its just cause were both israellis and also because i went through this crap myself but no one here could really help me i had to solve it myself..
i DID forget to tell you the first thing i did to the phone was to SUPERCID unlock it:
http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
try it if you havent already, mayb the protection is whats causin all the freezes. plus its unlocks the sim bull****.

BTW:
you dont need to install opera for manilla2d:

Great (Partial) Success!!
Ok! here's what I did and some conclusions I've come to:
1. flashed CRC r14.1 Big Storage ROM.
2. Installed ALLLLLLLLLLLL of the app's I needed prior to the hebrew installation.
3. Cleared all Caches, Temps, and MRU lists etc using SKtools.
4. Clean Start the device (SR).
5. Installed the hebrew, changed interface language and Soft reset.
6. Enjoyed my new revived device!!
now the only thing that DOES go wrong is the Java emulation, I've tried all available versions of Esmertec Jave (20080222 3.1M, 20080328.31 and 20080428.2.1) Tried installing to the device and to the SD and didn't succeed. I also tried to use the Device Update feature of CRC to get the latest java version from thier repository... didn't succeed either.
The thing is, before the hebrew was installed all versions worked fine, and after that NONE did...
I also think that this piece of software is what causing the device to die!!
After I remove the java emulator the device just hangs on the boot screen.
I've flashed my device numerous times with a whole bounch of ROMs, The conclusion I came to is that the hebrew worked on MOST of the ROMS didn't have JBED pre-installaed!
I would have checked it but I'm tired from flashing and installing stuff on my device for now, maybe next month... I gave up on using OperaMini since I don't have a working java emulator currently.
Which, if any, are u using?
Thanks for all the pieces of software you've recommended, I tried the PDF reader you suggested and I like Acrobat LE 2.5 Diamond edition better.,,
Anyhow - It's working now. so as my project instructor said - if it works - don't touch it!
Thanks alot for now! I WILL try to isolate the problem and keep you posted!
