German Qtek 9000 ROM available?

Hello!
The Qtek 9000 is sold in Germany with a ROM dated middle October 2005.
Is this ROM also available for download somewhere?
Unfortunately I couldn't find it yet...
I would like to try it on my MDA Pro! :lol:

Deal!
Hey,
I'm looging to change my Qtek german ROM to an English one.
I'm pretty sure we can find a deal in exchanging our ROMs!
But you need to tell me how to extract and how to reflash afterwards.
If interrested contact me.

The english ROM is here on xda-devs-FTP
But: please before flashing your OS upload the german ROM there!
This would be my very best xmas present
Cheers

Ok for your christmas present!
Hello Cendaryn,
I just need coaching or tutorial for extracting and then flashing the ROMs.
If someone tells me how to extract I will post for sure.
And I need also help to flash the english ROM.
Thank you

Well this is my biggest problem - I know how to flash the ROMs but not how to dump them. But I guess a little search in the forum here will help
Cheers

uni_cdl-me_11238_132_10301_ship.exe ) Is this the Qtek ROm? if its not please show me the direction.

Sorry
Sorry with no tutorial I can't help.
I'm really willing to post the german ROM. But haven't a clue where to start.
Does anybody know?
Thank you.

Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
this is what I found: [Universal] How to d2s (dump) the ROM
I can't help you because I dont have a Universal (Qtek 9000) but I'm very interested in files of this ROM too!!!

Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
Well, you say it.
If I look the post you mention I still have no idea where to start ???
I keep on seeking for complete tutorial.
By the way, does anybody know if changing the ROM is also changing the WM language? Or do I have to change separately?
Thank you.

A ROM also includes the WM language.

Maybe this topic helps:

Near to target ... but ...
Hi,
Thank you for the links, I feel I'm very close to dump the german ROM.
But not done so far.
And I'm becoming impatient because I found the ROM I want to put in place.
Keep on helping me end pray for I resist not to flash the original german ROM. :twisted: :twisted:

Arrgh!
I'm going mad to find how to backup original ROM.
Don't know if I will resist any longer to flash without backup.

Would You please try to run grab_it on your Universal?
This would give us a RAW-ROM-Image.
and i need a file dump (TestWM5) of a German ROM.
but you will need a Storage Card to do this.

German ROM needed ?
Hi all,
just reading through this thread here. I have an original VDA-IV with an unchanged ROM. I am trying to convince myself to upgrade to JasJar or O2, but did not do so yet. Any wish for a dump from me ?
(Have to leave now, but am able to do so tomorrow)
Ruud

yes, yes, yes...
@Ruud Westerhout: view your last Post

I am getting today my german qtek 9000.. But I will flash to wwe Qtek.. I will try to dump the german one first.. But maybe I need a little help..
Alex

Idea
Maybe, we can have it a little easier, because I think, ROM dumping is very difficult and could also be hard to flash on other devices. For MDA compact (HTC Magician) for example, you had to edit the dumped ROM with a binary editor before it worked on other devices. Also, there often were problems with some SD card readers/writers, etc.
The best way would be getting a ROM update from the vendor (e.g Qtek) as a complete EXE-File. This could be flashed on other devices with the maupgrade_noid-Tool from xda developers FTP server.
So, it would be nice of you Qtek users, if you could write an e-mail to Qtek.ch!
They offer updates for Qtek users, but you need to mail your IMEI number. So MDA Pro users are not able to get Qtek updates this way.

I'll do this.. No problem..
Any other requests??

Unlocking IMGFS or ROM volumes

On a Gigabyte G-Smart.
Please forgive me, I realize that this forum is for XDA / HTC devices only, but I thought that with the wealth of knowledge on this board, somebody might have a quick solution to the proposed problem.
I am trying to create an "extended_rom" like solution on my Gigabyte, where files automatically get installed when a hard reset is done.
Any help our suggestions would be appreciated, although I realize this is not the focus of this board.
Thanks!

Wow , you have a gigabyte g-smart ?
can you please tell me wath is this rom version and can you realize a dump.bin with Grabbit software ?

Thanks a bunch for the reply...
Yeah, I have one. I have not been able to get the bin off of it, but I am using stuff that I wrote. Might have to grab something out there that is a bit more robust. The stuff I wrote works fine on HTC and HP stuff, but just seems to want to die on the Gigabyte. I am not suprised at this...
As for the ROM version, there is no Asset Viewer on the device, so the only version numbers I have gotten for the WHOLE DEVICE are as follows:
Windows Mobile Version 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 1429.2.2.1) (Version of WM5, obviously)
The only other version that is readily available without poking through the entire registry is V1.08.12 assigned to the device by Gigabyte (Device Name: Pocket_PC Description: V1.08.12).
I am trying to find more information on the versions of the radio ROM as well as trying to be able to write to \IMGFS and/or \ROM...
Let me try to get the bin off of the device. Will try someone elses stuff now.

wow , 1.0812 ... very very interesting ...
Why don't you wan't to use grabbit software ??
it just make a file called dump.bin on your sdcard ....
youhave just to make a directory called 2577 on your sdcard , put grabbit.exe on it and rename to autorun.exe after that , put your sdcard on gigabyte and that's fun ....

It's not that I don't WANT to use grabbit.exe, it's that I don't HAVE grabbit.exe... and I have a rom dump program that I wrote that works on other devices.
Do you have a link to grabbit.exe? Quick search of this forum doesn't come up with anything when I search on "grabbit"...
Thanks!
EDITED TO SAY: Heh... found it... did a search on "grab_it" and found all of them. I will give it a try. Thanks!

wow cool !!!!
if you want , i can make an ftp for you or can you please upload your dump.bin in this ftp ...
i've a g-smart dump , but this is tha 1.05.20 ....

theoretically you can use my imgfs tools to edit ROM image. But you'll need a program that can update ROM, and create file in format that it understands.

yes mamaich , i've a dump.bin created with grab_it of a g-smart(1.05.20) and your tools works like a charm !!!!

Thanks so much for the suggestion!
mamaich, would you be able to post a link to the imgfs editor that you have? Or, I could just search for it on the forum. I actually think that I have it...
I have the bin file, will upload it soon.

I think that is version 1.05.13... I have version 1.08.12 (English)... I think that is why they want it.
Either way, sorry for not uploading it yet... work in a crazy environment, and haven't had the time to transfer it over to the internet machines....
Will try to get it up by tomorrow.

yes wicked ... i have 1.05.20 ... 1.08.20 is best

Hi mates,
i have an i-teq BOND aka Gigabyte g-smart. It has rom v1.10.18 and is working very bad, absolut bad.
Is there any other rom (english) than this 1.05.13 that you are talking about.
Thanks.

I ave the i-Teq Bond as well with the similar crappy update and no old ROM.
The gigabyte ROMs are all in taiwanese or something like that, so not much use. :?
Anybody has i-Teq or Gigabyte gsmart ROM in English? :?:
Sjengie

I have a Gigabyte G-Smart with 1.08.12 English ROM. There are some issues with it and I'm looking for later firmware or a place to look for it.
There's so many different versions quoted on this thread that I'm unsure if I have the latest English ROM or whether there is something newer.
Can anyone summarise the versions out there?

wow fasteye ...
can you please dump your rom with grab_it and upload here ?
the 1.08.12 is the last , i think ... is the ansewr machine work ?

I don't have the grabit software. If someone is willing to provide a link to it then I'll give it a go.
This firmware is not great though hence I'm keen to find something better.
Without doubt the best Pocket PC phone I've used in terms of design and size just a pity that the firmware and battery are not better. TV and FM Radio don't seem to work in the UK.
Anyone know if there is any way to get T9 on it?

rom update problem
I'm italian and have a rom of bond.
Bat i desperate, after update to rom version 1.12.18 my radiofm and tv not work.

Please help me!

i've extracted the italian rom from my ipaq. it's the italian version 1.00.7 with osimagetool from xda. it works ok! i want a english version to write on my ipaq.it's very simple install xda tools select source device memory (current rom) and destination xxxx.nb1 and then press copy button.connect the ipaq first and start activesync.don't need to start in bootloader mode.

I would be SO freakin' glad if I could get this rom!
It's a matter of life and death

Hi guys!
I tried downloading XDATools as it seemed to be a 'one click' ROM dumper, but the link in the WiKi is broken (got error 500) and I didn't find it on the FTP.
If you can provide me with a working download location for this app or another similarly simple method of dumping the ROM I will gladly dump my iPaq ROM for you. (see ROM version in my sig)

ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools , and there is xdatools.exe
Thx for helping

Have someone managed to change the 1710 ROM? I'm also looking for an method to do this. vflad wrote that he dumped his ROM. But what's the way to flash the dumped ROM on another IPAQ? Thanks in advance!
I have 2 Ipaqs (both 1710) and want to swap the ROM. I've already tried the "old" method which worked for older Ipaqs (Hyperterminal and SD Card). Therefore I bought an RS232 cable and modified it. I can see the boot messages in Hyperterminal after enabling the bootloader on the RZ1710 but I can't make any commands...
Sorry for my bad english

I've tried the method with OSImageTool. The ROM was dumped successfully. But now I'm at the point I mentioned in my last post.
I can't write back the dumped image to the 1710 ROM
OSImageTool just opens the patched MDA ugrade utility and this utility is saying that something is wrong. I think that this utility won't work on the IPAQ because it was written for an totally different PDA...
After this I tried the method with an SD Card and romupdate.exe (Multi-Port/USB TTY). After enabling the bootloader I can connect to the RZ1710. But I can not make any command. This utility is just hanging after pressing enter or any other key... (it's just like using my rs232 cable and connecting by hyperterminal).
But it's 100% connected to the 1710 and you can see some messages like "<CE-31>".
What's the problem with this device? I'm sitting for many many hours and I'm at the same point. I can't flash back the dumped file
Please help!!

Someone can post a rom for RZ1710 in Italian or at least in English, I need to change the rom to my IPAQ
Ivp

And in french ?
Is there a french rom in download ?

I also need the ipaq rz1710 english or dutch ROM
Hi guys, have you found the ROM in the mean time? I am also searching it.
My cousin wants to plan the building of his house on it, but he has a spanish version. (received from his spanish father in law).
Regards,
Bert

I have found an English ROM version for the RZ1710.
The only problem is that i get an "language incorrect! update cannot continu" error
Does anyone know how to bypass the language control???

Wow I see a lot of people are having trouble with their 1710. It sucks that HP didn't release the ROMs for this device, that would have saved all of us a lot of trouble.
I have this device in Spanish and I want it in English. Does anyone know what would happen if I tried installing the ROMs for a different device, say the iPAQ rx3100 (which almost looks like the 1710)? Would it accept the new ROM or would it turn this device into a mildly expensive paperweight?

Installing the ENGLISH rom on a device with a different language
=================================================================
The iPAQ Update Utility checks the language of your iPAQ against
language of the rom image and if they do not match, it refuses
to continue. To force the rom to install on a non-English device:
1. Identify the language of your device. The iPAQ uses one of these
three-letter codes for language:
ENG
GER
FRA
SPA
PTB
ITA
KOR
JPN
CHS
CHT
2. You will need to edit these two files using a hex-editor.
> iPAQPCSDK.dll
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Go to address C644 and change ENG to one of the three-letter
codes above.
> RUUClientDriver.dll
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Go to address E0FC and change ENG to one of the three-letter
codes above.
3. Run hpRUU.exe and hopefully the rom installation will now
proceed.

Worked like a charm and able to upgrade the ROM.

Best is you get c_setag to upload the Raw I2 ROM to file sharing site such as rapidshare/ megaupload/ etc. and post the link here. I see that he has downloaded the ROM!
I am sure the people in this forum will be able to make a full bootable rom with the files!

Where's this rom from? I mean what's the language?

well is it wm6.1? we need to edit this rom coz as far as i know it comes totally in dutch language. and also i wonder is it eboot+phone?

According to the poster on the dutch website it is:
i780 I2 PDA NL
i780 J2 Phone
i780 J2 Eboot

It is a DUTCH I2 version, i converted it myself.
So there are no english functions, i do not have the knowledge or time to convert this rom to English.

Yeah I have hope about bizbee it's just a matter of time if they are really serious about it.
The second question is about the worldwide update I mean qwertz/azerty keyboard versions. From what I understant WM is MUI now. So it shouldn't be very difficult for Samsung to get it multilanguage plus a keyboard map shouldn't be any challenge.
I think the i780 has been avalaible for very long now and it's really one of the best wm device. The build quality is top notch compared to htc. But the software lacks. I mean the wm6 release I had was far from bug free and the gps locked to tomtom. Then the optical mouse can be frustrating but it's no match when it come to one hand usability.

anyone success running tomtom 7 on the i780 with the I2 pda and J2 phone rom?
The internal gps works fine with igo8 like before, tomtom7 also recognizes the internal gps but doesn't get a fix. Any real solutions for this issue? (please no gps proxy or any alike) I read that some people are able to run tomtom7 out of the box with their new firmware.
Google maps has also issues using the internal gps.
