Rare problem with an upgrade

[nunoeca]

Hi,

I tried to upgrade my Qtek S200 with the newest ROM release from PdaMobiz (the 16M pooling page one), but encountered some problems...

It's a Portuguese TMN Qtek (or at least it displays the operator logo when started), although the software is in English.

IPL is 2.09 and SPL is 2.15...

However, after upgrading it, it kept displaying the Operator logo with IPL and SPL, and freezed, so it never worked. When I tried to revert it, I wasn't able to do it, because every time I try to install a different ROM (all of them for the G3 device) it just installs the new ROM, and then goes to that screen and freezes...

It never gave me any error during the upgrading/downgrading, because when it checks the version of the ROM, it displays no information, so it just says that is going to replace the inexistant version with the new one... :(

Is there a step a missed (I didn't put it in bootloader mode before doing the first upgrade, but I had already done that before with other ROMs and it worked fine...)?

Now I'm stuck without knowing if I should have done an unlock CID before upgrading it, or if there is another steped I missed... Please help me out...

Thanks in advance,

Nuno

Read this in one of the threads and it solved his problem:

Extract the rom file you are using to flash your phone, to a folder on your pc, than Extract the file i attached ("ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.zip") into this folder. than connect your phone to pc and double click on "ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.exe".

I personally have not tried it, but I downloaded the prog just in case, Hope it helps.

Hi,

Just tried what you advised, but now it jusk keeps giving me the error 208, which is supposed to happen because I have other programs open on my computer... Tried rebooting, closing most aplications with task manager, and still it doesn't work.

Also tried to downgrade to lower ROM upgrade, but it gives me the error that I can't downgrade, only upgrade...

When I upgrade it with AKU 2.3, it goes all the way through the upgrade, and then when it reboots, it just keeps giving me the operator logo screen with the version info on the display.

If I try to reboot to bootloader mode, I'm not able, the only way to do it is by removing the battery...

I'm probably still doing something I shouldn't... It should be able to work the downgrade utility...

Anyone can help?

Thanks,

Nuno

Try this rom:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Prophet/Shipped_Complete_Updates/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_S hip-NoVendorID.zip

It shoud be ok.

If your prophet has spl end up with 2.xx.0001 check at

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Prophet/

find out the rom which can solve for SPL 2.xx.0001.

Good luck

Thanks Chan! Problem solved!

I was starting to review all my steps ir order to see what I could have done wrong...

Would you advise me to upgrade now to the PDAMobiz latest ROM (the one with the biggest pooling page)?

Thanks again.

Nuno

1. Unlock cid

Since your prophet spl is 2.15, you have to follow this step.

http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=437

From file you can get from ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Prophet/

Your PC has to connect to network or internet (to have ip address), becuase in that script use ping command for delay 4 seconds.

It's just downgrade and unlock cid.

You may verify if cid unlocked, by backup rom to sd card. (use romupdate.exe with r2sd all command, check at wiki)


2. Upgrade to official rom

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Prophet/Shipped_Complete_Updates/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_S hip-NoVendorID.zip


3. Upgade to pdamobiz, I suggest you to upgrade 12 Mb pagepool version. (even 8 mb version is ok). Because 16 mb has smallest ram space.

Good luck

Again,

Thank you very much for your help!

After some tries, upgrading, downgrading, upgrading again, etc, I finally got it, so now its running the PDAMobiz version, which by the way, seems great so far!

Next time I'll come to you directly and then try to make things on my own... ;)

Thanks again!
