I've just received my new (no operator) Qtek 8010 wich has the previous rom. I tried to upgrade followin instructions in this post. I get an error message like.. "vendor ID..."

The phone is qtek with no operator contract wlth a deutch rom..

Any idea how to bypass this issue?
Thank you

will this work on e200?

[IT Troll]

Great guide.

Would I be correct in assuming that the new QTek 8020 ROM would be a better match for phones with a joystick - SP3i, XPhone II, SDA?

http://www.qtek.nu/f...SKU3 nordic.zip

Anyone tried it yet?

[slk200c]

I did also receive the same message DATA CRASHES

My phone has already been unlocked so I did not have a problem getting back to the Orange ROM, nevertheless its strange why the QTEK rom won't operate correctly.

Any ideas?

[miker33]

I've just installed the Qtek 8020 ROM on my SP3i, had to do the deletion of operator information as per the start of the thread to get it to go on though.

All appears to be working ok so far.

Well, with help of some forums all around the world I finally got to flash an older firmware back. Not that I had any problems; TomTom5 works great using 3 different BT GPS modules. But I forgot to backup my Dutch T9 dll so I wanted to revert. The trick with TomTom is 2 way: At first, when pairing your GPS module, do NOT bind an outgoing COM-port on it, TomTom does this for you. If you bind a com-port yourself (apart from the default outgoing COMport (6 in my case)) TomTom cannot open an additional port to the GPS module and will refuse to work.
At second, when having TomTom installed on your SD and applying a new firmware, everything on your phone will be deleted ofcourse. TomTom REQUIRES the \storage\My Documents\TomTom folder to exist, and there MUST be a file inside! It doesn't matter even if you put a music file in there, but there MUST be a file in there. If not, you will not get past the 'warning' screen of TomTom. This is true for both legal and 'patched' versions of TomTom. Reinstalling TomTom from the original CD ofcourse fixes this...

Now for going back to older firmware:
first go to http://sourceforge.n...jects/nbftools/ and get version 0.3 of the NBFTools.
then go to http://arisme.free.fr/TyphoonNBFTools/ and get the  NBFTools remote client
grab http://rataplan.ath....tRAPIPolicy.zip
and  get http://web.orange.co...l?id=sm_1137635,

Ok, you've probably already noticed it's not your average firmware upgrade with all those tools Here goes some:

- unzip/unrar all downloaded files.
- connect using USB and make sure your ActiveSync connection is working (you don't need to register your phone, but you must be connected)
- copy the TyphoonNBFTools.dll file to the ROOT of your phone (not in Storage or on your SD, REALLY the ROOT)
- install cert.cab on your phone to get the required certificate
- copy the resetrapipolicy file on your phone or SD and run it (it seems to do nothing but it does)
- run the TyphoonNBFTools on your PC. If the titlebar does not say 'emergency flash available' you made a mistake somewhere.
- Now it's time to use the orange rom. You could use Winrar to extract the RUU_typho_v1.1.1.91_v4.1.1.4OrangeUK_S.nbf file, OR you can just run the setup until the screen which shows the phone pops up, browse to 'c:\documents and settings\\local settings\temp dir, there should be a folder named pftxx.x which contains the files. Copy the nbf file to your desktop or another location.
- Within the NBFTools click 'file --> open' and open the just saved NBF file.
- I'm not sure if this step is required for the SPL flash, but I changed model name to QTEK 8020 and I erased the operator field. Can be done through the 'edit header data menu. Be sure to do a recalculation of the hash, even if the tool reports it has already recalculated one.
- Now right-click on the SPL in the bottom window and click 'emergency flash'. There will first be a test before the actual flash is done. If the test fails, do NOT even try to flash or your phone will NEVER boot again.
- After the flash is done, just reboot your phone. It acts like normal but now has an older boot-loader.
- That it! Now you can use your original updates, even the older ones, to flash your phone!

You might even want to use NBFTools again if you want to flash a rom which was not intended for your specific phone model, but that is described in the start-port of this thread.

Any questions? Feel free to ask! (but from friday I will be on holidays for 2 weeks )

"copy the TyphoonNBFTools.dll file to the ROOT of your phone (not in Storage or on your SD, REALLY the ROOT)"


and thanks for the procedure.

To: Jacobdan and all friens here. I have tried to upgrade my new qtek 8010 to qtek rom 2.1.32.11 as described here. Whe I save the nbf file I get un error: "I/O error". If I try to upgrade rom directly (without usin Typhonnntolls) I got "ERROR [294]: invalid VENDER ID". Ok, How can I upgarde this thing? Thank you.

[robbster]

Any ideas on how to get the genie sim card settings to work with gprs and mms on this rom? I've just upgraded my girlfriends phone and she has the genie sim. I've been through loads of posts and seen the first page of this thread but still no joy. Any advice would be great

Cheers

Is this update better than the new orange update?...I know we are all fed up waiting, but I just want what's best...Thanks

[jim.mason]

Got a problem, used the spv-developers simunlock service and then installed the qtek rom as I was tired of waiting for the big O to release the UK version of the update.

As its now here I want to install it but get the following error message: Error [296]: Upgrade Only.  This NBF file cannot be used for your smartphone.  Please get a newer NBF file.

So I thought I would try to go back to the old rom in order to do a standard upgrade using your instructions below.  The problem I have is that I can't get the NBFtools to show 'emergancy flash' in the title bar and therefore am stuck.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

- install cert.cab on your phone to get the required certificate
- copy the resetrapipolicy file on your phone or SD and run it (it seems to do nothing but it does)

check those steps... again, it needs to be in the ROOT of your smartphone, that means in the same 'folder' as where you see the 'profiles, storage, storage card, teno and windows' folders. I'm not sure wheter the cert.cab is needed on unlocked phones. Mine IS unlocked however, but I did install the cert.cab anyway. I ran the resetrapipolicy several times as it seems to do noting. Maybe you should run it a few times before starting NBFtools.

If you need more help or if it's still not working, post your results. Are you sure you are using the correct version of NBFTools? I used 0.3.

No, you don't need to copy the TyphoonNBFTools.dll to your phone, but instead copy it into the same directory where TyphoonNBFTools is on your PC. this should solve your problem. BTW to avoid confusion it's not "emergency flash available" but "immediate flash available" that will appear on the title bar.  see attached word document for instructions with screenshots.    enjoy

indeed this is true, I tested it without the DLL on the phone and, after running ResetRAPIpolicy it worked indeed. I had the DLL in the same dir as the tool anyway. I read it had to be in the root of the phone on spv-developers forum somewhere. Glad it now works for the people, sorry for my mistake.

:??: When doing mine, I forgot to run ResetRAPIpolicy, so not sure what that does :??:

Seems to be working fine now on the new update.  Hopefully this will last me until the M500 appears to us lowely residential customers!!! :roll:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I too received this error. It seems that the nbf file is locked open by another process (the setup program) and so cannot be overwritten. The workaround is to extract the contents of the ROM archive first using WinRAR (or similar). You can then edit and save the nbf without a problem. Then simply run the ROM Update program which is also included in the ROM archive.

My SP3i is now happily running the QTek 8020 2.1.32.23 ROM complete with WMP10.  8)
