View Full Version : Help! Issues with my Qtek 9100/i-mate k-jam

Hi everybody,

I recently received a Qtek 9100 from a friend, but I'm having some issues with it.
Firstly, it has Windows Mobile 6.5 installed and I'd like to revert to the OEM version, 5.0, hoping for it to be less buggy, but I could not find a decent method. Could anyone advise, please?
Secondly, I'm having some issues with the display. At first I suspected a hardware issue, now I'm not that sure about it.
So,... after freezing (as WM6.5 seems to have this function really well implemented), I reset the device and instead of the boot screen I got a flickering light screen with all sorts of horizontal and vertical lines. I checked with eBay, found a new screen at a decent price and just as I was about to order the new screen, the display started working again, until last night when a soft reset sent it back where we started from, meaning all sorts of lines.
Now I'm thinking it's either a hardware issue such as a bad contact, or the lines are caused by the damn WM6.5. I'm leaning towards the hardware problem, since the boot loader doesn't show properly either.

Any advices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

It can be Omap overclocking. Try to look at the wiki for a original rom for your phone

it's hard to say what rom it had since i got it with wm6.5.
i found a link on this forum to a file called RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_cin gular.rar
it seems to be one of the many originals, so i'll try to flash this one as soon as i can figure out the connection issue with ActiveSync. I tried both 4.0 and 4.5 but they both fail to connect i need to fix the pda's display (or wait until it solves itself, like the previous time) in order to troubleshoot the connection error

Can you get into bootloader?

no, i keep getting those flickering horizontal and vertical lines. the odd piece is that anything else besides the connection seems to work. my guess is that the active sync connection can be solved via connection manager, but since i cannot see a damn thing... it's gonna be complicated.
my best guess is to buy a new display from ebay since i found some real cheap ones ($9) and replace it, hoping this would solve the hardware issue.
is there anybody else who got those mad lines? perhaps there's a less complicated solution to this problem that you would like to share :)

apparently, this is not a common issue, good to know :)
nobody had horizontal and vertical flickering lines?
