hello,

Would anybody be so kind to give a step by step manual of switching from t-mobile 1.60 to qtek 1.66 please?
please note: i have no idea what i need to do with those passwords, neither with what it says on this link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
Much too complicated for me... :roll:

Isn't there a different way to upgrade to a different ROM?

thanks for your help.

Why would you want to do this? To get QTEK features instead of T-mobile? If so, there is a much easier way than flashing...

1. Unhide/Unlock your extended rom (see front page of site in top news article).
2. Remove all of the files from your extended ROM
3. Get a copy of the New Extended Rom files you want. This forum tells how to do that.
4. Copy them into the extended rom area of the device.
5. Hard Reset -- you are done.

You never touched the Radio Stack, the Main OS, and did not have to flash, which is much safer way of upgrading / changing.

Make sure you copied all of the files from the new EXT ROM, not just the CAB files (but you can delete the odd CAB file if you know which one and why you want to do it)
