QTEK9000 Spanish -> English

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.
Ruud

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

where unlock ?¿?

ok i live in malaga, do you have msn

Someone can supply the P535 English ROM?

It's have been released already the P535 english version... even sold on Ebay.... there's some good soul that would supply image of this ROM? so i can finally install in my chinese version?!!? thanks!

It seems ASUS has just posted it at their website... ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/IA/P535/V4315_WWE_MS00.rar
but I'm not sure is it an English ROM as no instruction yet. Pls try it with precaution!
Besides, you may need other tools to switch the location lock, but I don't know where to get it.
Cheers,

Hey guys,
I've just picked up a french P535 while on holiday here in France. Has anyone tried flashing the WWE ROM to a non-English phone? I'm afeared of bricking my device, but my English is much better than my française, and it would be nice to have the device in English.

I've decided to just grab my cajones and go for it.
I've installed the 4.3.0 worldwide boot ROM firmware and that was happy, then downloaded the P525 cooked ROMs to get the ASUS language unlock utility, and ran that. It reported my country code as 420c (France) and proceded to unlock the device, so all should be well. I'm downloading the Malaysian WWE 4.3.15 firmware now, and will report back with how it goes once it's on the phone.
Wish me luck!
(for some reason I'm only getting 5kb/s off ASUS' ftp server, so could be 30 mins or so...)

Ok, update...
The WWE firmware won't apply using the ASUS autoupdater. I'm able to get into the bootloader flasher by holding Power-Record-Camera and hitting reset, but it complains about not finding ROMGalaxyII.nb0.
I understand that this is the decrypted version of the ROM update, but I don't know how to get that from the WWE firmware I have. Is anyone able to help me work this out?
Thanks in advance.

couldnt you use the p525romtool -d command as explained in the p525 rom cooking thread

No as apparently the ROM structure, however I've just found out you can flash the 535 roms using the 525 patched Autorun.exe, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284379 for details if anyone is interested in upgrading their 535.

Did you try falshing with this patched autorun?

That's what I mean yeah, I have a P535 I bought in France, I've now got a WWE ROM on it after using the patched autorun. All it does is hand the ROM to the BIOS's bootloader flash program, bypassing the region check the official one does.

Allright I will try too.
I live in france but I have all my IT in english, plus I use qwerty KB.
Thanks for the heads up, I ll report soon.

Well, I did try the update and it worked. I don t think I would have found the trick of putting a galaxy.cap with the hacked autorun the bypass the langage check without you/pntzamaras.
Now I have the qwerty kb and consistent language on my device!
I hope they release a french ROM someday so I could sell it to fund my next purchase

Sorry but could you explain all the steps you followed to reach this successful upgrade?

Sure:
1) Download the sorg p525 cooked rom in the forum thread.
2)Download the p535 ROM.
3)Extract the p535 ROM and the p525 archive
4)Replace in the 535 ROM the autorun.exe by the one in the p525 archive.
5)Put the unlocklangID.exe utility in the same dir as the autorun you just overwrited.
6)Rename GalaxyII.cap to Galaxy.cap and put another copy of galaxyII.cap in the same folder (ie: instead of having just GalaxyII.cap you have the same file twice, named GALAXY.cap and GalaxyII.cap)
7)Put the 535 rom where you replaced the autorun on the SD card.
At this point you should have on your SD card the 2577 folder with autorun and unlocklangid.exe, and in the root, GalaxyII.cap and GALAXY.cap.
8)Insert Card and run the unlocklangdID utility.
9)Run the autorun, it should say the update is ok for your device, click file-update.
10)After you reset the flash utility appears and the device begins flashing, it takes around 5 min.

PERFECT !!!
Thanks you so much !!

hi, thanks so much for posting the solution.
on a side note, how long does it usually take for the P535 to connect to a WPA-PSK AES encrypted network?
it used to be fast before i changed to the WWE interface as per the instructions, but now the phone seems to be stuck in the authentication stage and will not be assigned an IP address by the router.
although when i turned off the wireless security, i was still able to connect to my unsecured network quickly.

What we can do is:
1. attach PDA to the PC with USB cable and wait for ActiveSync to sync
2. open a command prompt
3. run pdocread -t
4. run pdocread -l
5. run pdocread 0x0 0xXXX nk.nb0 where 0xXXX is the size of the rom returned in the step 3 (for our WM5 should be 0x2200000)
6. wait until the process finish
Now we got a copy of our original PDA firmware
To upgrade the PDA back to the origiginal or to another version we got, we have to:
1. attach the PDA to the PC with USB cable and CLOSE ActiveSync
2. press on the PDA the keys POWER+ENTER+RESET, the PDA bootloader will start in upgrade mode by USB and wait for the firmware from the USB
3. use usbloader to upload our nk.nb0 or any other firmware we got to the PDA
This is what I have read from that forum, but I've not tested jet cause I have only the copy of my firmware and waiting that someone make a copy of his english PDA to be able to upload the WM6 WWE update.
That is the user "l0v3r" says in the other post.

İtalian TİM Asus P320 to English

Hi All
i am very new in this handheld business and before i go ahead and crash the device i thought i could get some assistance , i already read some of the threads regarding from french to english and chinese to english.My thing is i just bought this yesterday in italy and once i get started with it . reallized that the whole thing is ,in italian its from a cell provider called TİM in italy.So can anyone guide my step by step what to do in order to make this device all english
İ really appreciate all your help folks

You must download from ASUS 2 firmwares, ENG and CHN.
Extract in your SD the folder 2577 from ENG version
Overwrite autorun.exe in SD\2577 with the one in CHN version.
Put your SD in your p320 and play!!!
The difference is in autorun.exe, chinese version doesn't check language, so you can flash what you want!!!

Thanks i will try it as soon as possible , since i work on a cruiseship , the internet connection is very bad , so first i have to get the chinese firmware since i have the the ENG version , from the CHN version i just need the autorun.exe nothing else right and delete the autorun from the ENG version.
I ll give it a try and post it but really appreciate it

ASUS TIM Italina to English language
Hi
i tried to flash the english.bin using the chinese autorun.exe but it still doesn't work , i even tried to flash the whole chinese 2577 file first to see , if that would make a difference , in the end it still gives failed message (during soft reset) or it tells me to ensure its the same language .
So i am looking for other ways.
Please anymore assistance is needed

thats it
no more help i guess from members of this site , very disappointed , i have spoken finally with Asus here and the advised me to sent the device in they will be loading the mobile 6.1 professional english version for $ 30.
Again thanks for those who at least tried to respond to me
