Qtek 9100

[adam@wizzy]

Help, I have Qtek 9100 on the O2 network in England, it doesn't have all the O2 customisations so I'm thinking it is a basic Qtek ROM. At the moment it is running the 1.1.7.5. ROM. I'm looking to upgrade the ROM, the 2.1.7 seems to be the best. But despite reading through the forum I have some questions.

1 - Does the Qtek 9100 need CID unlocking? I've read that if I install the Qtek 2.1.7 upgrade I won't need to CID unlock the phone.

2 - Is the latest ROM shown on the Qtek site the 2.1.7. version?. I have tried to log on to that site but its says it does support the IMEI I've entered.

3 - What is Cingular?

4 - Could some one post the link to the 2.1.7 Rom English upgrade?, I've found a step by step guide to upgrading and loads of links to different ROM's But want to be sure that I've got the link to the right one.

5 - Is it worthwhile carrying out the upgrade, and how likely am I to bust my phone?

Thanks in advance for the advice, In short all I want the best upgrade with the least amount of hassle to upgrade.

Hi,

If you stick with the Qtek rom, you dont need to CID unlock...but it is worth doing for future use...as you can not CID unlock a v2 ROM....yet.

Cingular is a US phone company...like O2, T-Mob etc.

If you follow the instructions, you should be ok, i have done a couple, and touch wood have all been ok.

I think you need a ROM from this lot:

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Qtek/

but I dont know which one is the newest...most stable etc.

GOOD LUCK :)

I'm in a similar situation here, I've currently got the O2 Supplied 2.21.4.1 WWE ROM, most people here seem to be upgrading to other ROM's such as those supplied by QTEK... looking at the Wizard ROMS on the FTP, which one should I be upgrading to? And what are the 'prophet' ROM's on there?

think I've got it it sorted now, shouldn't need to CID unlock if I use the Qtek 2.1.7 release. Not sure I need any other companies Roms unless someone is going to tell me they have some features I can't live with out ?
