[Guest jim.mason]

Ronny,

You're a genius and I owe you big time. If you are ever in Norwich, give me a shout and i will buy you lots of beer!!!

Now running the latest big O update.

Cheers

Jim

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:

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".

<{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)

Thanks

Read post #75 on this thread. this will help you with your problem. it comes with an attachment that contains instructions and screenshots. :)

[Guest deadphill]

Hi

I did read through it and followed it to a t and still couldnt get it to run. Then I decided to start from scratch and go with the links provided in that document. Sure enough it worked. Turns out I was using an old version of NBF tools and thats why it didnt work. I also didnt have to run the reset rapi policy thing.

Thanks guys now Im back to orange, if anything happens Im in the clear!!

Cheers

Maybe you have an corrupted ROM update, try to download the new ROM and re-flash your phone again.

Could anyone please HELP me!

I flashed the Qtek 8010 Rom (ROM 2.1.32.11) on my I-Mate SP3i (O2 Xphone II) then i found that the joy stick is not working >.<

Then i follow the TyphoonNBFTools method to going back to older firmware (Qtek 8020 Rom with WMP 10: FE_BP_SKU3_213223_00328_Ship.exe),

for the 'emergency flash' my Test was Successful but when I start emergency flash, there is an error occur as follow:

"Pre-Flashing error"

"An error occurred BEFORE flashing the bootloader. The device has NOT been flashed. Please report the error"

"Failure before SPL flash (Unknown bootloader SHA1 signature (NOT FLASHED))"

Then i try to flash as normal,

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.

Could anyone please help me >.<

[Guest IT Troll]

You should of used the 8020 (SP3i) ROM rather than the 8010 (SP3). Try re-flashing with the latest version of the 8020 ROM (header modified with NBFTools):

(EDIT: No direct links to roms please, 8020 rom update page here)

Failing that you may have to do some scary things with your bootloader.

[Guest Pondrew]

It's been suggested that the Typhoon roms and Feeler roms aren't compatible due to different joystick drivers. Unfortunately it sounds like this is exactly the problem for you. Try as IT Troll suggested...

...but please don't link directly to roms.

[Guest tFelix]

thanks for all your help... the problem is i cant read those language... couldn't find the rom download

Well, some of it is in English and says there are two roms there. First one for Swedish Qtek 8020 with software version 1.1.32.23 or 2.1.32.23. Second just for Swedish Qtek 8020 with software version 1.1.32.23. Couldn't tell you which one to try on your SP3i.

Once you've decided, open the installation guide of the rom that applies to you to find the link to the rom.

[Guest IT Troll]

The one I have on my SP3i is ROM 2.1.32.23 for the Qtek 8020 which includes the goodies you want (WMP10, MP3 ringtones etc).

It looks like 2.2.32.23 is an even newer ROM with some configuration update - not sure what though. As Pondrew says, the actual links to the ROMs can be found within the installation documents.

Sorry about the direct link, I thought it would simplify things, didn't realise it was a problem.

what rom did you upgrade to? 2.1.32.23 or 2.2.32.23 ? i currently have 2.1.32.23 on my phone. and would like to ask what is the difference between the two ROM. and see if it would be worth to upgrade. thanks.

The 2.2.32.23 only fixes a small mistake for "us" Swedish users. When applying swedish as language the folder "Configurations" had a completely diff. name I think. At least that what Qtek's site said, didnt try it myself since Im always got english on.
