wow you all do some really great work! I've been reading all the fixes for country ID etc.,... mucho respect to everyone for the research involved in getting the upgrades working.
I have an O2 XDA II uk. The SMS bug is really annoying me and since O2 haven't come out with a new rom yet, I'm tempted to try one of the others.
I guess there's tmobile 1.60? imate... and now a new qtek one as well?
What's the most recent/best rom to go for? Ideally I'd like to KEEP the gprs ALWAYS ON even when turned off/suspend... I believe the tmobile one changes this to disconnect *yuck*.
Any advice welcome.. ps. do we think we've learned enough so that I'll be able to apply an o2 official upgrade over the top of a qtek/tmobile etc? It looks like with the info on changing the ID of the files we have?
best upgrade for 02 xda
I also have an 02 xda II but it was purchased from Asia. Rom version 1.03.00 USA. I would also like to know what is the best upgrade. Thanks, A.
Has anyone been able to get the cingular ROM off the device and installed on a Qtek? Is anyone working on it?
I haven't heard of anyone trying this yet, but imagine they will in time. To be honest with you, I am using the IMAte Rom on my QTEk on the Cingular Network and have no desire to change it. Unless someone could show me there is a benefit in switching, I am happy were I am.
On a related note, the delay may have something to do with the size of the ROM. I have heard speculation that due to the 3125's 128MB memory size, versus the 64MB size of the QTEK, that the actual ROM itself may not fit. But again, that is only speculation, and others have stated that the extra memory has nothing to do with the ROM.

I installed it on my Qtek 8500, all is working fine.

What is the diference between 3125 and 3100 models?
Thanks.
RE: cingular 3125 ROM on Qtek 8500
For those that have done it,: above comments aside, I am curious as to the thoughts. Are you updating your Qtek from the Qtek ROM, or other.
I have yet to read anything that shows the differences between the IMate and Cingular ROMS and what, if any changes were made, other than custom features and proprietary logos.
Does the Cingular come with any apps that are more desireable than another?
may I ask how do you upgrade a QTEK isn't there some special upgrade utility. or is it just running the executable. and it does not matter what manufacturer device you have?
Cingular told me the machine would use blue towers better running its ROM. No idea if that is true.
Data setups work w/o manual entry, obviously not a big deal.
Some Cingular junk included.
Clearvue loaded in flash (same as i-Mate) - not with QTEK
A bit more free memory.
Other than that I see little difference between CIngular and the i-Mate ROM I was running. QREK ROM definately had problems with Cingular - missed lots of calls. This also occurs on my wife's Smartflip and she uses T-Mobile.
"Blue Towers" ?

About the QTEK ROM missing calls, is supposed to be a common issue. I had it too, but then I turned on the BT and left it on the problem with missing calls was gone.
Blue towers are the old AT&T towers...
Cingular ROM on QTEK 8500
I flashed the Cingular ROM on my QTEK 8500.
Very happy with it.
I have the (subjective) feeling, that it runs better than with the 8500 ROM
Cheers

The 3125 has the camera, the 3100 does not. Everything else is exactly the same.

Can you one just run the upgrade ?? no special upgrade utils ?? Can you go back to QTEK RM if the Cingular is not to my liking?

Of course the device has to be CID-unlocked, i.e. totally unlocked (cert, etc.)
After that, no problem switching between ROM's (I also tried Dopod and i-mate)
But found cingular best up to now

And CID unlocked is only posssible via an online service and costs money or is there a free way. I mean to ask, I have appl unlocked it but that is not enough he?

At the moment full Sim and CID unlocking can only be done online, no free ways yet, though I`m sure its being worked on.
Got my 8500 unlocked within 20mins of getting the unit, currently running the I-mate rom and am more than happy with it.

Now we some tools to cook our own roms !
Does Cingular 3125 ROM "Re-Lock" Qtek 8500?
I've unlocked my 8500 and installed i-Mate ROM - all seems to be working well (no missed calls). If I wanted to install the Cingular 3125 ROM, would it "re-lock" the device?
hi all is there any hardware difference between ameo and u 1000.
coz i heard that theres a micro drive issue in the ameo
No, originally people had issues with some of the Microdrives in the U1000, but that has all been sorted now. I think it was software related, but there is no difference in hardware between the two devices.
HTH

it's a easy decision for you, if you only want the silver one, go for Ameo, since it's cheaper (on ebay maybe) or just sign up a contract with T-mobile, now some thing you will need to know, All three machine (HTC Advantage, T-mobile Ameo, DOPOD U1000) has Microdrive issue, it's to do with their ROM, you are more likely to find it on Advantage compare to DOPOD U1000 OR Ameo, Actually, DOPOD U1000 is even less likely to happen compare to Ameo due to it's recent ROM update.
If you are not T-mobile customer and will be using other sim card, then you need to consider the sum unlock issue, you can get it done by paying some money.
If you are new to PDA and don't know what CID lock is, and you would want to update your ROM frequently, then t-mobile might not be such a good chose, they don't provide that must support on upgrade and currently there are no promise on WM6 update too.
So really, you should ask yourself these question, are you going to use it with other sim card other then T-mobile (other country)? will you want to upgrade to latest ROM (wm6) without breaking the warranty?
Good luck with your decision, after all, you are about to purchase a wonderful device.
Thanks wu
i am going to use another sim and its unlocked and without warranty
i think pof or asukal or gurus like u might find out how 2 unlock cid
i will go for ameo then
thanks a lot buddy
My audio has decided to stop working on my vario II, currently using schaps exellent WM6 build but i want to put the vanilla WM5 i got with it back on (which like an idiot, i didnt keep...)
has anyone seen this online anywhere, or have a local copy they would be willing to share so I can get my phone fixed?
any help appreciated
Can't help you I'm afraid - I'm in the same boat with a dead camera I've put a couple of feelers out but nothing yet. I'll post back if I find anything.
sim
(I'm presuming you're after UK?)
sim
uk yes. thanks.
I just got a NEW o2 xda orbit from ebay, with WM5. Ive got this ROM updater, but im not sure if it will have the o2 branded stuff.
its called RRU_Artemis_O2_UK_3.4.206.2_4.1.13.28_02.67.90_Ship
Sorry if it seems oblivious - I really dont know much about this and dont want to ruin my new orbit.
Also, Would anyone know where to get TOUCHFLO for the o2 xda orbit?
Also, Does anyone know if this can be upgraded to WM6.1 or WM6.5??
Many Thanks
Aman
Anyone?
Need help on that fairly quick!
