<div class="im">> b) is there a bug in Qt 4.4.3 that prevents it from erasing the PIN<br>
> from my SIM? Is it worth it to upgrade to Qt Extended Improved?<br>
</div>YES! Qte is dead and unsupported but forks of qte live on. My favourite<br>
is qtmoko. Two flavours, one is on fso root fs, the other debian.<br>
<a href="http://qtmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">http://qtmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page</a> Get used to flashing, you'll be doing<br>
it alot.</blockquote><div><br>No biggie, it is quite easy with the OS X flasher GUI :-) I'll check QtMoko tonight.<br><br>On the subject of flashing, is there any detailed explanation of the architecture of an image? Are kernels and rootfs images mix-and-match? I have seen that some distros only have a rootfs, others have both. Is there a way to take an image of the current state of my phone before flashing so I can keep settings, data, etc. when flashing back?<br>

<div class="im">> c) how do I check the GSM firmware version (may be the source of my<br>

</div>In qte(i), there is a a system info application with a modem tab. Sorry<br>
I can't be more precise, but my freerunner is getting buzz fixed. </blockquote><div> <br>That's just enough info to find it, I'll check that tonight too. Since my unit was bought last week (already buzz-fixed), I believe I have a non-zero chance that the GSM firmware is moko11.<br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">qtmoko should give you 100% working calls forsure. Good luck and<br>
have fun!<br>
