As the title says, when i first switch my phone on how do i stop it installing all the rubbish?
Many Thanks
Daz.
Poke the soft reset button just before the installation of the 'rubbish' starts. No harm done on to the phone.
Ahhh right, thanks for that.
How do i do a hard reset to go through it all again cos it's installed it all now?
Cheers
Daz.
Also...........where can i download WM6?
No offence, but for a person with 32 posts, you are seems to be asking some relatively 'newbies' questions. Anyway, if you look at this screen now, on the top, you get the "XDA-Wiki", which if you go there, to the correct section, you will find all the answers for all the questions you've just asked.
And, as a contribution to others, if you happen to find some other useful information, you might as well update the Wiki as well

it stuck's at the windows mobile scrren anda don't know what to do help me please
why anyone can help me
i dont uinderstand why my posts don't have anwser
Is this a joke?
Hmmmm....
Don't take it as an offend, but you are at the wrong forum.
I believe you have to ask the question on the right one.
This forum is for QTEK 9000.
Please feel free to look and search before you post.
If you look here it seems that the early QTEK Uni was branded as the 4040 so please dont be so quick to flame...
Anyway onto the problem. Try a hard reset and clear by pressing 0 when asked. if that fails then reflash the rom in the usual way. That should cure the problem.

sorry man i had a very bad day realy sorry how do i hard reset my qtek
No need to apologise. I have had a hell of a day myself mate.
Extract below is taken from the Universal Wiki - Perhaps you may find all of it an interesting read in
To do a hard reset (push the two menu buttons ("-") on the keyboard + the reset button at the same time (all of this three). Doing a hard reset will result in you losing all your installed apps and data so ensure you have a backup of everything first.) Everything should be fine from this time. You have to calibrate the screen and do some setting up...

Hello, i'm sorry to get this thread back up, but i'm having a problem that looks much like this.
I can power the device on, but it powers off sometimes at QTEK screen, sometimes at Windows mobile screen, and sometimes i can do the whole setup thing, and when it begins at installing extended, it powers off again! :s
I can get in bootloader, so i don't know if it's bricked or not,
The device is a QTEK 9000
Radio 1.15
the Windows Mobile 6 version of Jmwright or something like that (Latest version)
Can anyone post me a quick walktrough of what i have to do to get my device back up and running... If you suggest another ROM from another developer which doesn't have that camera buffer problem etc, because i really want to start using this device in a safe way.
Thx in advance, i really appreciate all the work done here.. Just want my problem fixed asap
Greetz,

If its a cab file you're trying to install, copy it anywhere on the phone. Then using file explorer on your phone, click on the cab file and installation will begin.
If its an exe file, these install from your pc through Activesync. On your pc(with phone connected), click on the exe file and it will copy the files to your phone. It will then tell you to check your phone, which will then look like you had just started a cab file installation.
If either cab or exe asks you if you want to install to device or storage card, it should be your choice unless the creator has specified otherwise.
Some files require rebooting the phone after installation. Most will tell you before they reboot, and some creators will tell you its necessary. In this case you should manually reboot it if the installation doesn't automatically do it for you.
just out of curiosity. how did you manage to flash 6.1 on the phone when you are unsure of how to install a simple application?

what kind of stuff? like does the phone do backflips or break dance?
be a little more specific man..
for the keyboard go look in the sticky ontop of this forum and download the keyboard file to your pc. plug your phone into the pc and let it sync. then take that file and through activesync > explorer put it on your phone
on your phone, go to where that file is located and just execute it..install to device. then reboot the phone when its done installing.
Stop opening new threads for the same topic...first last warning.
Keep using the same thread.

there are sticky's full of instructions for installing new roms....followed by 1000 pages of the same questions and the same answers.
i wasnt trying to be a jerk.i was honestly asking because id like to know how he installed his 6.1 so we can try to make it a lot easier on n00bs that ask the same questions time and time again. since he seems like a new user, hes the one to ask right?

You honestly think hes the one? I didn't think installing cabs was that hard. Put cab on phone, click on it from explorer, and wait just a bit, Done. I really don't think he is the chosen one. In fact, I would venture a guess that it was pure luck he was able to get 6.1 flashed at all. No offense. I nominate Gixxum to be his personal tutor
which is why id like to know how or what instructions he followed.
I didn't think you was being a jerk, infact i found your answer rather commicle, so i had to reply with comedy, i just imagined he followed the forum thread and think from his answer i was correct? But maybe not?
Biglarge what's the answer?

Im glad you guys are having fun at my expense, this is how I figured it out. It was posted in this forum, I wish I had the name on it, but I give thanks to ever wrote this and am sorry I didnt have the nameHeres how to beat the 270 error.
When running the installer, "push any key" through the first few steps as it says.
When the queue comes up saying "press center key and screen should turn white", "press any key to continue"
FIRST - press any key, to bring up the next queue
SECOND - now push the center button on your phone, and it should turn white
THIRD - push any key on your PC to start the actual flash.
If you do step 2 before 1, it will still continue onto the flash screens, but will Error 270 at 1-10%.....
Hope this helps some of you!

Maybe if next time you are more clear with what you are trying to get help on. We can help you.
Error 720 is/has nothing to do with "Installing programs"
Think about it.
That was regards to gixxum, and in my post of installing programs, I clearly stated installing the keyboard and I believe the sirius program. I am sorry for all the confusion. Later

I know I use a blackjack, but whats the 720 error?
BigLarge: we're just trying to have fun, did you get your cabs installed?
Im almost afraid to say it, but no, I put them on the phone and it seems to install but nothing after that, I have learned to type with what ever text is on there though.
I really just wanna know how to get started with how to flash. Also..I have a problem with my phone showing unread text messages that don't exist. I found a file that is supposed to fix it but..it doesn't say how/where to put it on my phone..and then how to use it. If there are tutorials on these types of things..can someone point me in the right direction? I'm pretty good with learning..just need to know where to start???

Try this, the fix unread count cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=278937&d=1265747454
Did you try a Forum search first? This is a pretty common problem.
by flash I assume you mean ROM's? this is well covered with detailed instructions and tutorials look at the stickys on the touch pro 2 custum rom subforum. pay attention that you dont flash gsm rom's to cdma device. cdma device is the sprint/verizon tp2. use the search function
for your phantom message try going to all messages from the message tab and just open everything i have had to do that a couple times.
start off by looking for hardspl on your device thats the first step. from there you can go down the rabbit hole as far as you want. have fun

see..that's my main problem. I found this file..I know how to search for pretty much anything..what I can't find is what to do with it. It's a .exe file..what to do with it??..there are no instructions on how to install it..that's my main problem
I can't seem to find the answer to this. I installed a rom a long time ago and it changed my initial boot screen to one that shows PPC Geeks. Is there any way to change this or get rid of it? I have installed dozens of roms since then, but it never changes. There's probably a simple solution, but I can't find it...
Have you flashed a stock rom?
Just did, first time going back and it worked, thanks

Glad your issue was fixed. Next time, please do not open a new thread for questions. Instead, post in the Q&A thread in this section. Thanks for understanding.
I am not sure what happened to the phone exactly, but all of a sudden it got stuck at the Fire System Recovery screen. I can't reboot it. It keeps getting to this exact same screen every time I try to reboot.
Here are the options that are on the screen.
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Please help, this phone is for my son and he's pretty sad right now not able to use it.
Thanks much!
Edit: If I remember correctly, I probably installed CM Rom on this phone when I first got it.
Anyone?
Anything I can do?

These are the kind of posts throughout the World Wide Web that are just absolutely worthless and a complete waste of bandwidth. If you have nothing to add or contribute, move along.

No, Sir. Your post was the pointless one. The forums become cluttered due to people like yourself who do not make any meaningful effort to search and read through the forums to solve problems that have already been discussed previously. If your search function skills lack the sophistication to locate the link @Kramar111 provided, then I submit you should refrain from making such large modifications to your devices, such as flashing CM11. While yes my posting was sarcastic, it's intent was to shine a humorous light on the fact that the forums are here to share knowledge, not constantly rehash it.

Thanks for this guide guys, I followed the instructions and sideloaded the latest Amazon Fire OS 4.6.6 several times and the phone shows "update completed" but I keep rebooting to the Fire Recovery bootup screen.
What else am I missing?
