ERROR [296] UPGRADE ONLY . HELP!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello my friends! the situation is as follows: My SDA has the QTEK ROM 8020 now. After 3 months of use, I noted serious problems - the SDA cuts the calls without explanation and during comunicacions sometimes the menus roll without ceasing until the portable remains "freeze". I thus need to return it to T-Mobile (DE) to replace it. But to do that without losing the guarantee it is necessary to put a T-MOBILE ROM on it. And here reside my problem: When I make the operation (according to the rules of spv-developers) I get the error message that is in title: ERROR [ 296 ] UPGRADE ONLY. Have you some solution to this problem????

Thank you in Advance

You need the very latest t-mobile rom, as the qtek rom is newer than the t-mobile. You can use www.imei-check.co.uk to sort your phone so that it can be downgraded to an older firmware for £20 - people use this to put 4.1.1.2 onto c500's before going to wm2005. Or, a newer rom of any kind and adjust the splash screen to the t-mobile one, I'm sure they won't check the versions as long as the phone boots without showing a qtek screen, but I've no idea how you can do this.

Perhaps different t-mobile countries have a newer rom?

I had to wait for orange to release their latest c500 rom last week to sort this very problem , before returning my phone to HTC.

Sorry, over to someone else for this, I don't even know *if* it can be done let alone how.....

But I did have some c500's with different orange splash screens so i would think it possible.
