Rom update guide?

Hello everyone im new to the forum, i have a t mobile vario, i have managed to unlock it curtusy of lokiwiz unlock 0.2a. i have a few questions if someone could help me on
1. on the unlocker software there is a option of CID unlocking, what is this?
2. is there any differences between the different variations of the wizard, 02 mini, tmobile vario, kjam, qtek.... which has the better firmware??
3. can i put either kjam or qtek firmware on my vario?
Many thanks peeps :lol:

Speaking as an MDA Vario owner who has reflashed with the k-jam ROM (and now can't go back!) I would say the only benefit of changing ROM is to enable 802.11g network access, which T-Mobile disabled in software.
There appear to be no other benefits. On the downside there are features that come with the Vario that do not work with the k-jam ROM. e.g. the email setup wizard does not work. Hardly a showstopper but an example. There is also an error message on resetting about elatepushservices.exe not found or not signed. Again, it doesn't seem to cause a problem but why klutz your machine up without a good reason to do so? The version numbers of everything that comes with the Vario also seem to be higher than the k-jam ROM, which I'm guessing is a good thing.
Unless you simply must have 802.11g connectivity, as well as 802.11b, my recommendation would be to leave well alone. It will also make warranty support much easier.

oh ok so is that the only major difference then. i find my vario isn't that stable. my device currently reads
rom version 1.3.2.2 enu
rom date 9/25/05
radio version 01.04.10
protocol version 4.0.13.17
extrom version 1.3.2.102
did u use ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ for your firmware?

I did use the clubimate ftp ROM and my equivalent figures, with the Vario extended ROM remaining, are....
rom version 1.1.9.3
rom date 9/16/05
radio version 01.01.10
protocol version 4.0.13.16
extrom version 1.3.2.102
so all my version numbers are lower than yours excep the extended ROM, which I saved from my Vario.
I don't recall the Vario ROM being less stable than the k-jam but you need to be very careful what software you install as there is a lot of stuff that is not 100% WM5 compatible. It might install and it might run but it might also crash or destabilise your machine. I have only installed the T-Nobile supplied GPRS monitor, Total Commander, TomTom 5.21 and a couple of GPS utilities and that's it.
As soon as you start throwing in today plugins and other system utilities that are less than 100% WM5 compatible you are asking for trouble, IMHO.

Hi there,
I just looked on the FTP, but is there any Dutch K-Jam/Qtek 9100 ROM available for the MDA Vario?
Thanks!!
Jeremy.

on the ftp i can see:
RUU_Prodigy_1030710_110_10410_Qtek_NLD_Ship.exe
-> uploads/htc wizard
this is right for you

Just check the XDA-Dev. FTP site.
There you can find the Dutch rom which greddy pointed out.
ftp.xda-developers.com
user = xda
pass = xda

hmmm by the looks of it i might hold out until theres some newer rom updates with significant improvements. at the mo it looks like theres only a few tweeks and i dont wana risk bricking my vario.
t mobile released updates for the mda compact and mda II http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
maybe they'll release some for the vario???

For us we own an english version of Qtek 9100 in which site we'll find the future ROM Updates?

have you tried xda developers ftp site? ftp://xda-developers.com/ or dont qtek have a support area?

Hi there,
Thanks, I didn't see that.
A few questions:
1. HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD THE FILE?? I can access the FTP-server, but when I try to download the Rom, the file stops downloading after apx. 20 - 40%, whichafter I even have to reset my router to get the internet working again. I used both the FTP Explorer and the Internet Explorer.
2. Should I also upgrade the Extended Rom? I want to get rid of these ugly, squared, pink and grey T-Mobile phonepad keys, so is this stored in the Extended Rom?
Which Extended Rom should I use? There are more of them, so which one is for use with the Dutch Qtek 9100 Rom?
Thanks again!!!

If you ae comfortable doing this, could you perhaps make a backup of your t-mobile rom. I downgraded to the k-jams rom without doing a backup...silly me, anyway would be grateful if someone would pop a copy on the ftp here.

Jim

I also done exactly the same, i didn't have a miniSD card, an i was too eager to upgrade so i couldn't backup my rom.
Now i wanna go back to the T-Mobile rom but no one has one on the FTP. would you be able to upload yours?
It would be very much appreciated by a lot of people here.
Cheers

i dont mind creating a back up of my rom, if someone can point me to how i can do this.
i to want to get rid of the rubbish pink phone pad, it looks ugly
jay - are you using ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ or ftp://xda-developers.com/ ? it should work, unless your connection keeps dropping?

Need to refresh my memory on the back up procedure... get back to you on that later.
Regarding the pink key pad, a bit of registry hacking should sort that out
If you have a registry editor, follow the below, worked fine on Compact II but never got to test it on the vario before the downgrade
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin
Properties
Dword- Enabled
Value - 0 (default HTC skin - cool blue)
if you change the value to 1 it then displays the T-mobile's wonderful pink and grey pad.
Save the changes and they do a soft reset
Hope that helps

Yes, i've tried in the FTP site. But in there the roms are backed up from other devices and not directly from Qtek support. First, I would like know if there is problem or there are any diferrences between roms backed up from devices and the other from official support.
In the end, i'm asking if there is a link for official Qtek support where we can find the future rom updates.

There is a nice pdf guide on backing up your ROM here you need to do procedure 'r2sd all' as opposed to 'd2s' as suggested as that guide was for the magician.

Newest ROM?
Hi,
I own a T-Mobile MDA Vario, too. It is already flashed with a WWE-KJam-ROM. Now I want to know, if there is a possibility to flash a German ROM to it. Or if there is a newer version of the KJam.
My device informations:
ROM version : 1.1.9.3
ROM date : 9/16/05
Radio version : 01.01.10
Protocol version: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM version: 1.1.9.106

t mobile english version
hi to everyone
I have a mda vario with t mobile deutch and I'd like to know if it is possible to flash the rom into english t mobile rom or an other english rom. If possible could u gently explain me how to do?
many thanks

here are so many people with a German MDA Vario.
Isn´t it possible, that one of them reads out the original ROM and set´s it to the ftp so that others, that want a German ROM can flash this?
I am not a professional in this, so correct me if that is not possible...
Micha

Current and Stable Wizard ROM?

I see there are a bunch of ROMS in the FTP, I am at a loss to which one I should be using however. I've been trying a few and some of them run laggy yet others run fine but have some stuff missing (one of them didn't have a button to disconnect from GPRS?)
I'm pretty new to this, I have a "Orange SPV M3000" from Orange NL but I don't want the Dutch ROM on there..
Just a simple question, what English ROM is currently the best one I should be using, and what Extended ROM files should I have as a necessity?

the one from Qtec 1.6.7.1 is the best i think

PM Me with it?
Since all the WM5 ROMs have been removed from the FTP site could someone please PM me with the Qtek ROM mentioned above? Or upload it to yousendit.com and post a link to this thread (or PM it).

Not sure what you're talking about - it's still there;
HTC_Wizard/Roms/Qtek/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG__OS_ONLY.zip

Hey, is it possible to unlock and rewrite the Extended Rom on this version?

What I've heard is that past version 1.6.x.x that the Extended ROM is READ ONLY.. I've been having problems trying to put things into my Extended ROM. I even reverted to an older firmware just to update it, without success I might add.
Is there any work around??

oh i thought that the 1.6 not have the rom locked :-(

Go for the WWE AKU2 rom. I am using the 2.8.7.1 one from Qtek on the Vario.
There are operator specific cabs available for ie gprs and mms
Its stable!

ROM versions ?

hello,
I have HTC QTEK 9100 with:
ROM VERSION - 1.6.7.1 WWE
ROM DATE 11/28/05
RADIO VER 01.12.10
PROTOCOL VER 4.0.13.23
EXTROM VER 1.6.7.101
if this ROM vers are good and are there need to upgrade it ?
if yes from where i can download working rom vers ?

hi, what are diference between my ROM and your adviced ROM ver ?

Hi, i used to use your rom before my current and it was quite a good rom but the aku2 rom i suggested is better
1. Has push email - so your email arrives in a way that your sms's does, almost instantly.
2. Rom is more stable - no more spontaneous soft reset's or dropped calls
3. Battery life is noticeably better.
4. Device is a bit quicker
5. Calls using the phone are better because it has an updated radio.
6. Downside is 2 line date - can be sorted with lvmtime and battery on taskbar - can be covered with same program.
hope that helps

Hi ,
Is this the latest normal rom, i mean not tweaked, tinkered or modified ?
I looked in the FTP server but the numbering system for the roms is not really clear...
Since i am Dutch i don't mind a Dutch version...
Does it have A2DP ?
rgrds Mike

I assume you have a t-mobile vario - latest official dutch rom is here http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/med...y_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship.exe
You can stop the t-mobile extras installing by doing as soft reset just before they install. None of the roms mentioned include a2dp but there is an easy addon for that look at the a2dp addon thread.

Hi thx for the info.
Your're right i have an MDA Vario
Btw is this the latest ever or just the latest dutch ?
And is it newer than the above mentioned Qtek ?
rgrds Mike

Its newer than the above qtek rom the first few numbers give it away 2.21 vs 2.17 the higher this first number the newer the rom.
There is a newer qtek rom 2.8 something but its a test rom but you can get it in dutch. Only problem is that when you boot up it says test rom and some people have noticed a memory leak, but it does have a2dp included but many have reported it does not work that well with this rom.

hi, i upgraded ROM to AKU ver 2.17
but please help me to remove the new batery and GPRS icons
from the top info bar... the icons appeared after upgrade.
10x

Those icons are part of the ROM. All ROMs of the AKU 2.1 variety are going to have those icons in place.
That said, if I were you I would immediately downgrade back to a 1.x ROM and do a CID unlock before upgrading. You don't NEED to do it if you stay with operator ROMs, but if you ever want to use a custom ROM in the future it's something you'll want to do.
The CID encryption changed somewhere between 2.17 and 2.21 and the unlocking tools no longer work. If you upgrade to a bootloader that is version 2.21 or higher you will not be able to use the current downgrader tool and you will not be able to use lokiwiz02b to unlock the CID. At that point the only option is to pay imei-check.co.uk to do the job. Might as well take the free route while you can.

re
why I need to upgrade ROM again ? this ver is working OK till now
i have not operotors ROM.

hello,
ca I use it on my HTC P3600 not locked and with my Bouygues Telecom simcard ? Thanks.
Eolenet

bebaer : if you use des sspl you should be able to flash you phone with orange rom. In this case I suggest you to reset the device before extrom autorun installation, to finish the installation manually.
you will also have a few missing progs like messenger...
As far as I am concerned, my M700 was succesfully updated. Every is like before (except for the GPS of course ), including the issue with SIM+ and SD cards

ROM from TELFORT - NDL

Hello
I got problem. I bought Touch HD in Nederland in TELFORT. I changed ROM to my native language. The thing is that i must send phone to service. Its Branded so now i need to change to orginal ROM and i dont have it. Is there any site wher i can downlad it (or maybe someone have ROM from TELFORT)?
I dont want loze my Warrianty. Phone was bought in 06.05.2009 and i have no idea what version it has before. Maybe anyone can help me

Have u tried this link ya akhi
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe
It has many ROMs, but if you do not find it there I think you may find it difficult to restore back to original.. You may need to ask someone to dump their ROM if they have the one you are looking for.

Nevermind, I think I found the ROM you are looking for.

This is a NLD ROM, so try downloading and flashing that.
I found these links in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444170

Do you think this ROM should be ok? Branded ROMs have some roms like other non branded? Just have CID lock?

If you have HardSPL installed then CID is no problem when flashing ROMs.
I think the ROM i have shown you is unbranded HTC Netherlands ROM, so I don't think it may be useful for you if you want the branding. I cannot find the branded ROM either on the internet.
You can either:
- Wait until someone who has the ROM dump it for you
- Try to sort out your problem here (if its software related), without using warrentee
- Take the PDA to a thirdparty to fix it so warrentee/other ROMs aren't an issue
- Flash the ROM I have provided and restore SPL to original, then send in for repair and hope HTC don't say anything (which I think they shouldn't, but cannot guarentee this)

ok then, i think i will wait like 1 week - maybe someone with orginal branded ROM will make Copy of his ROM and sen me - hope so. If no - then i will put your ROM in it and pray that service wont say anyting.
So any guys from NDL here?

bump. looks like i got problem xD

hi i'm from belgium
i did the same as you did
there is no need to change the rom back to the original
i had mine running wm6.5 and it came back with the original rom
so that means they flashed it again
they didn't say about anything and also didn't charge me so....
