Building a new Qtek ROM

[sheran_g]

Hi,
I am building a custom ROM for the Qtek. I want to use version 3.16.52. Will this be possible with the 'mkrom' distribution? The only reason I ask is because the description on the 'mkrom' page is a bit unclear. It says: Next, find a ROM image containing the O2 '3.17.03 ENG' ROM (or any ROM file that was based on this ROM after processing by mkrom).

Does this mean that I need to have only the O2 3.17.03 ROM? Or can I just use the NBF file from the Qtek 3.16.52 ROM?

Any help is appreciated.

You can base on the Qtek, we did for the previous version of our ROM too. Please note that the 3.16.52 Qtek has a nasty bug when replying to an SMS from someone who's in your contacts.

If I may ask: why base it on the Qtek?

Thanks for your reply. You're right, the Qtek's 3.16.52 SMS bug is a really nasty one. The reason I was basing it on the Qtek is because I own one. Plus this will be my first attempt at a ROM compilation other than the 3.17.03.

I did find some strange messages from 'mkrom' itself with the 3.16.52. It was worrying me so that's why I decided to post. To give you an example, I get this message: file: Couldn't find any magic files!

Would this cause a problem?

BTW, that AdaptROM utility is an absolute jewel!

#Itsme, who wrote both mkrom and adaptROM is gone for another 2 weeks. But you're welcome to look at the code, it's all pretty readable perl.

BTW, that AdaptROM utility is an absolute jewel!
I use a small batch file called burn.bat:
c:
cd "\Program Files\Programme A"
del English\NK.nbf
copy %1 English\NK.nbf
adaptROM
"PROGRAMME A"


and have defined it as "open" action for .nbf files in the registry. So when I double-click an nbf, and click a few OKays, the phone is flashed.

Thanks. I'll have a look at the code till Itsme gets back.
