I updated my T-Mobile MDA Vario from OS 1.6.2.2 to Qtek ENG 1.6.7.1 and the os is running perfectly.
The only thing im stuck at is the following: The extended rom customalizations from T-mobile NL **** up a lot of functions, like the today screen, error on boot.
I would like to use the Qtek ENG 1.6.7 Extended rom2 now but I cant seem to find how to change/replace/upgrade the Extended rom.
How is this done?
Unfortuneately any ROMs after 1.6.x.x have the extended ROM protected. If you really want to go down this route you would first need to use aWizard to backup your latest Qtek 1.6.7.1 ROM to a nba file. Then you would need to load back the T-mobile full ROM so that you could use aWizard again to backup the Extended ROM only.
You would then need to flash a pre 1.6.x.x Full ROM to allow you to write/delete the extended ROM contents.
Finally, you could copy the t-mobile files to the extended ROM and then reload the 1.6.7.1 aWizard backup.y
A word of caution though as I F**ked up my T-mobile wizard using aWizard to re-load my OS ROM, and as a result I have had to return the PDA for repair (hopefully under warranty??).
Apparantly there will be a new T-mobile ROM update in march - hopefully with the Bluetooth update we all seem to want!!
I have T-Mobile OS rom 1.6.2.2 whitch also haves the extended rom lock. I do have a backup of my t-mobile extended rom.
So I need to downgrade my os to a version older than 1.6.x.x and change the extended rom. Then I need to put my 1.6.7 version back?
Yes that's correct but first you would need to backup the 1.6.7.1 ROM only using aWizard before you downgrade to a pre 1.6.x.x Full ROM. This will make the extended ROM writable again then you can re-load the saved 1.6.7.1 nba file using aWizard - but note the warning!!

What ROM upgrade utility should we use if we want to flash an HTC Wizard with one of the ROM's on the FTP?
For example, I have a K-JAM that I might want to flash with the 8125 ROM and Extended ROM (I'm actually interested in the Radio ROM, too...)
Thanks in advance for any help that's given!
the generic upgrade procedure software is INSIDE all rom packages (they are named RUU, rom upgrade utility).
If you want to upgrade using a dumped rom (.nba file) you should use the generic aWizard utility. be careful with using these .nba files as you never know what is is exactly and there is no check if the file will damange your device or not (ruu does checks beforehand)
It goes like this, I have a cingular 8125 I updated it to 2.8.7 and it was good but it overwrote my extended rom, so to repair it I had to flash back to 1.5.4 and Overwrite the extended ROM with my Cingular backup I made with aWizard, so I have the extended rom fixed. So I used the aWizard to update just the OS ROM back to 1.8.11 from my cingular backup, but I noticed my SPL and IPL versions went from 2.?? to 1.?? going back to the 1.5 ROM. A side note when I do a hard reset it locks up while installing my cingular stuff from the extended ROM and it never did before. Any1 have any ideas how to use my backup to restore it completly or how to update the SPL and IPL or how to unlock the ROM on the 2.8.7 ROM ? Thanks alot!
Hello.
I've heard somewhere that the i-Mate ROM hasn't got any ExtROM. Is That true?
And another question: How can I downgrade a ROM what is says the next message: Upgrade Only!
iMate simply doesn't have any additonal files loaded in the Extended ROM. T-Mobile has specific customizations, like setting up the phone and text messaging to work on their network. If you use your phone on T-Mobile, I'd stick with their ROM (or a custom T-Mobile ROM) unless you're comfortable with changing all of the settings yourself.
As for the downgrade issue, you need to CID unlock your phone.
I've already CID unlocked my PDA, but the upgrade program says UPgrade Only. Did I missed something?
The I-mate ROM hasn't got any extrom, and the space of the extrom goes to the storage/program memory? so if I upgrade to an i-mate ROm I should get more storage/progam mem?
I flashed my firmware with one of the Cingular firmwares. (my mda was already unlocked) Now when I try to use one of the tmobile firmwares to flash back it gives me an error. This is what I have installed now.
Rom 1.8.10.12
Rom date 12/1/05
Radio version 02.13.11
Protocol 4.1.13.05
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.13.11
OS 1.8.10.2
Can anyone tell me what is going on here. The phone is working and the data services work. I need someone to post the link to the best firmware flash for my TMOBILE MDA (us version) I have service with Cingular. I need the ROM that has the best receiption and performance and the most features that will work on my MDA Please help.
if you want to go back to the T-Mobile original settings, you need to upgrade to the custom ROM and then downgrade back. If you just want to have the T-Mobile settings, stick with the 2.17 custom rom that Xelecin cooked. I've found that his 2.21 rom was a lttle buggy, but his 2.17 rom is spot on. It has the cid/sim unlockers built in.
good luck

Another Question

Hello there
Quote:
1. Download SoftSPL by the-equinoxe.
2. Download the IPL/SPL based on your device and carrier(attached below)
3. Extract SoftSPL to its own folder and then extract the nk.nbf file from the correct IPL/SPL to the SoftSPL folder.
4. Run Start-sSPL.exe and follow the simple directions. It is almost fully automated(your screen will turn white during the flashing process and it will appear to have crashed. This is normal so just proceed like normal)
5. HardSPL should now be removed if everything worked properly. Depending on your device and Carrier, download the appropriate Rom for your device:
* T-Mobile MDA Official WM5 Rom
* AT&T 8125 Official WM5 Rom
* Vodafone Qtek 9100 Official WM5 Rom
* Orange SPV M3000 Official WM5 Rom
* O2 XDA Mini S Official WM5 Rom
6. Flash the Rom you just downloaded. There you have it. You have successfully removed HardSPL and reverted back to your carrier's latest rom and restored the CID lock.
What exactly is IPL/SPL?
Is that the Stuff from the Provider?
I'm living in switzerland and my provider is "sunrise" which IPL/SPL should i take?
My phone is a Touch Pro 2
There was WinMo 6.1 on the device
Hope you can help me

just read the first sticky thread in this section where the hardspl is available. in the second post everything you need is written down.
important: first you have to flash the stock rom and finally switch to sspl! the attached file in the hardspl thread (relocker) works fine. i also switched back to tstock rom and sspl for warranty reasons with my tp2 (t-mobile germany)
tp2 tmobile link? dump or full?
Sorry i dont get it..
so all i have to do is flash the offical stock rom from htc (which can be downloaded on their offical page) and then switch the spl?
but where can i get the right spl version and what radio version?? i really need to send my phone back.. so pls help^^
after reflashing the phone should be like at the beginning right or can't i use the phone after that anymore?
sorry i might be an idiot
Yep, you got the process.
Radio's are in the Sticky by At0mAng.
The Stock SPL 0.79 is in the Hard SPL thread (called relocker). cmonex is working on an 0.84 relocker.
When you're done it should be like it was when you got it.
