Thanks for posting.

This Radio is from QTEK IU build. YOu can flash it to any vendor Tornado (Hertz) device. startup screen screen says QTEK IU build only. obviously, this one is not for production environment.

Just wondering, do you know what is new or what has been changed with this ROM? Thank you

this one has been recieved by a european dealer as a latest radio alltogether to correct issue one big vip customer had (perhaps microsoft europe itself)

if the red letters dont bother you, use the radio, it's good.. it can always be reflashed to original

about the changes, Ive been told there's no relese note with fixes, but it contains all updates after 2.09 radio, therefor, the 2.21 corrections are all there, as well as 2.37

Here's a Qtek 8310 latest radio ROM (2.47.01)
ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Tornado/8310 radio only/8310_024701_RADIO.exe

I dont know if it's vendor indipendent
It will not affect your data od other ROM parts, you can flash it to any AKU2 ROM... might fix some of your network problems (searching, signal strenght, gprs problems in roaming etc)


Here's an older version on Modaco: (2.37.01)

Enjoy!

Does this radio update work on the i-mate SP5?

Can anyone give an advice how to flash RADIO only for Qtek 8300 with Russian flash 2.0.10.0 (latest)?

When I'm trying to flash radio from the 1st post of topic, I 'm finding message "Invalid Vendor ID" (OK, I didn't apply SuperSID unlock - just do not want to do it). After editing file nk.bkf by means of TyphoonNBFTool (0.4) - I receive a message "Upgrade only" :shock:

Qteck radio upgrade helped my SDA

yes, it does work. NO probs there..

I've got a T-Mobile SDA with the i-mate SP5 ROM version 2.0.8.0. I just flashed the Qtek radio upgrade 02.47.01 and it seems to have made quite an improvement. Not only does it spend less time searching, but it seems to hold on to weak signals better too. Just thought I'd put in my report. Thanks for posting the ROM.

Wow

What a wonderful improvement in signal!!! I use cingular service for my qtek 8300, and it would always bounce between 'Suncom', and 'home service' usually with 1-2 bars indoors (with the qtek 8300 aku2.0 ROM). Now, it is locked solid on Cingular with at least 3 bars. AWESOME!!! THANKYOU!!!

I downloaded and run the file above and it mentions that my:

imate sp5m image version 2.6.331.2 will be updated to
qtek 8310 image version 2.5.322.99. :confused:

Anyway, I run it and now I have
radio: 2.47.01
operator: 2.6.331.2
rom: 2.0.8.0

Thanx!

this radio update may be flaky

Hey,

well, my qtek 8300 says that it has better reception (as per my previous post), but I am missing a lot of calls since installing this radio update. Something wierd going on. I reverted to the original (see previous link to Modaco forum), and hopefully that will fix things.

radio update effects

Hey,

I noticed with this new radio update that the 'free memory' on my qtek 8300 decreased about 5MB, from about 24MB to about 19MB, with no programs running. When I reverted to the old radio, this problem went away.

Anyone else notice this?

Nope. I have 20.95M FREE (and there are Explorer, AlReaderLight and Messaging in RAM).
