Dear all,
I have an old windows mobile 5 Qtek 9000 and now I decide to upgrade with one of the latest WM 6.1 rom. The point is that I have no usb cable with me. Which is the easiest way to flash a new rom on my Qtek 9000? Can you link me a simple guide?

Thanks.
Luke

As far as I am aware flashing from the SD isn't an option. The cable from any device with the same shape interface e.g. PSP, digital camera, etc. should work.

It is an easy process as long as you stick to the basics like glue:
- identify the type of handheld you have (G3/G4, 64MB/128MB) and select compatible ROMs + have the OEM ROM available in case a reflash is needed.
- remove the SD
- sync with PC or backup personal information.
- clear the handheld memory (hold down the two menu keys while pressing reset, then 0)
- enter bootloader mode (backlight+power+reset) then connect. PDA screen should change from serial to USB.
- disable PC firewall
- be patient.
