Like the rest of us fed up T-Mob vario users i sent an email to tmob asking when we are going to get this blasted upgrade and the reply I got can mean one of two things:
- The ROM is going to be available real soon
- The person sending the email is mentally ungifted
Hello Philip
Thanks for your email about updating the firmware on your phone.
I'm sorry to hear that you still haven't been able to upgrade your MDA Vario. I can understand this must be frustrating for you.
I can tell you that there's the opportunity to update the firmware on your phone.

Now from that I (probably rather optimistically) take that she thought the ROM would be available by the time I get the email so maybe they know something we dont (told you I was being optimistic).
Fingers crossed
don't hold your breath...
I emailed them months back, and had a phone call from one of the TMobile customer services guys a few days later, promising me the upgrade would be available to download "next week"..
That was around the easter bank holiday, so much for their promises..
looks like the good old generic email repsonse... giving you the location where the rom is located... no sign of a new one though...
Yeah had the same crap from them with my magician, overpromising and underdelivering. The hold up with this update of course being down to T-Mobile not being sure whether releasing AKU2 would screw up their blackberry sales.
Note to t-mobile: Blackberry sucks and overpriced whereas exchange is too complicated for most people to set up so you will still get your suckers paying for BB. Just give us AKU2 because if you don't then anyone who wants to use it will just use a different ROM and make damn sure that they never buy t-mobile again.
Hi Guys
My first post!
Herman
I notice you are using an o2 rom on your vario. is it any better?
I have had a vario for a week now and its too slow. i want to change to a better rom but do not know which to go for.
bhayani
Well welcome to the forums,
the O2 ROM does seem faster and definitly more stable. I was having quite a few niggles with the Tmob ROM in that respect. I still decided to overclock it though to increase responsiveness.
Im even using the O2 extended rom and just added the T-Mob GPRS settings:
Access Point: general.t-mobile.uk <-- .uk not .co.uk
username: user
password: pass
Hope that helps
Thx Herman
I have been onto the o2 site but they want my imei number and o2 phone number so couldn't really get any further. is there another way of getting the roms?
bhayani
take a look at the ftp site: ftp://xda:[email protected] in the wizard folder
U may need to unlock your phone before you can update, search the forums for instructions on flashing your phone with the rom.
I've just spoken to T-Mobile and I've been told that the release of the UK AKU2 update is indeed imminent. Apparently, the update itself is tested and ready, and the only delay is the meetings that are currently going on to decide the launch details.
Apparently, this update will also include or be released at the same time as the Blackberry Connect software in the UK.

i just wonder whether it will be worth the wait... whilst i've been waiting i've installed the kjam one, and a couple of others..
currently using cingulars one which summiter had "amended" - very good.
not sure if ill take up t-mobiles new rom when it arrives... it'd need to be something special...
To all of you using non T Mobile Roms out there. What keyboard layout has the alternative Rom given you? i.e is it still a UK keyboard layout?

Anyone heard any new news on this?
I read on a forum today that it would be launched week begining 19th June. here's the link for the source:
http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archive/2006/05/24/605828.aspx#618053
fingers crossed..! I think we've waited for too long...
I gave up - constant resets, whilst on the phone etc.
I now use the Qtek 2.17.7.2 WWE. it is so much more responsive & hasn't yet reset on its own accord yet. I've been using it for 2 weeks now & I've set up the push email for use via mail2web detailed else where on xda developers.
Wifi g works fine, as does syncing with my iMac (both OSX & XP).
I don't use MMS so I'm not sure if I've set it up correctly.
..by the time TMobile UK release AKU2.0 every other carrier will probably be rolling out their AKU2.2/2.3 implementation!
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
I found this on their website. Is this what you guys are looking for?
this is the link pointing to the current ROM. the new one, the one we're all waiting for, should appear on that website (hopefully soon). Maybe the 19th?

Hi I would appreciate if someone could point me to where I can get this from. I used to have this on my XDA II. I upgraded to IIi and cannot locate this application from O2UK site. Ther, it is a part of the overall new ROM for XDA II.
Thanks in advance.
I beleive that this will have to be built into a new ROM. I have an xda2s. Many have tried but failed to extract the relevant cabs from the xda 2 and get blackberry working on the 2s. No luck after about 6 months it seems... So I suspect its the same flr the 2i have to wait for the ROM upgrade :-(

Not true. O2 should be releasing roms for xda2s and xda2i quite soon according to my contacts.
Thanks for the information guys. It is what I suspected. Looks like it will be a test of patience :?
jdee246, I hope your contacts are reliable; Here's to hoping.
I concur with jd246. I have receievd a few tech support responses indicating August or Septemebr release of xda 2s ROM with Blackberry client. Also heard from one forum member that is trialing it right now, so we should be close..
This is very exciting news if it actually happens. Like many other O2 customers, my patience is wearing really thin - don't you just love the way O2 releases products in blaze of glory, promising updates that never materialise and having internal support teams that never seem connected enough to get a straight answer.
To all those with HTC devices outside of O2, stay there! Behind their Show-rooms O2 is completely disconnected.

I am using both IIs and IIi clients, and have done since November last year. The ones I have now, released from RIM - you know, the guys that actually write the BB software in Canada - in the last month, are the only usable versions. Previous versions have had major interop problems (especially with Activesync).
And all operators need RIM to write the software for the new models, and RIM must do a good job, and if they don't they won't release it....
From what I know, it's out the 1st week of October on the UK website.
Ah..!! Southern Man!... I was going to protect your identity I am glad that we are so close. Great news indeed. Any thoughts on when we might see the same for the Wizard and Universal? ;-)
Regards
Chris
We'll believe it when we see it! 02 have promised this for so long, and then in the next words of wisdom said that they have no plans to bring a Blackberry Client out for the s or the i.
I am not disputing your using the client - just that fact about 02 actually releasing it to us....the paying public....that bought their pda's expecting it to do something that it won't!
But....we do live in hope :-D
Yes, we all live in hope...for without hope, there would only be O2 Active! :wink:
Blackberry On MDAIII on T-Mobile UK
But I am also confused... I was in the UK last week and went into a T-Mobile UK store. They had the MDA III in there (aka xdaIIs) and the brochure said it has Blackberry client connectivity...? Is this true and does it work? If yes, why couldn't we use that ROM on the xdaIIs. Anyone know??
Regards
Chris
Is this what your looking for?
I guess that this is forthe XDA II ? If so I believe that it will only install on that device.
I don't use Blackberry but I have installed it on my XDA IIi and it seems to be ok (no error messages), I just copied it across and ran it.
Ah! But does it work?
Try it...
OK I've installed this to my O2 XDA IIi
Installed the client software from the MY-XDA Website for the XDA II
Had my Corporate Account enabled with Blackberry Enterprise Server 3.6
Bu the XDAIIi Doesn't show an IP Address which I guess it needs before it starts up.
Does blackberry needed a certain enabled sim card? I can connect to O2 Active (Mobile Web) So GPRS Is ok.
Any Ideas Guys?
check this out

CHeers,
What I thought but just heard our Corporate Blackberry has moved from o2 to Vodafone so this is going to be fun lol.
All becuase someone didn't release you need to enable the voice on the o2 account d'oh
Cheers/
Ok I will attempt to sound somewhat intelligent with this......
i purchased an xda IIs from ebay, dopod is the comm company, comes with WM2003wwe version 1.40 has all the good stuff and Blackberry connect.
I have a Blackberry from T-Mobile USA and I want to use the sim card in my xda and get the Blackberry service working on it as well.
Thats the problem, don't know how to change the APN settings.
Would also like to upgrade the device to WM5 but it looks like there are no Blackberry enterprise programs that work on WM5???
Educate me please....
Thanks for the time so far and these forums are really helpfull, will be putting some donations in the cup later...
Oh yes I forgot, if any of you already have a package set up to get this rolling??????
might be a good idea the package thing eh?
Hey, I'm sick of using WM6.1 I feel it's worse then WM5!
does anyone know where i can get the last offical/custom rom for the wm5?
I use 8125 with t-mo
I checked the FTP and all the roms are gone...
thanks in advance!

Hmmmm,
Although,I can answer this very precisely,and I'm tempted to,but I'll just say that after 236 posts,you still can't find official carrier's wm5 rom of your phone,that's even more Sick !
Cheers!
What does posts have to do with this?
why don't try finding it? maybe you'll know what i mean.
I did my search fool. i'm not some asshole that made a new topic to make others search it for me.
I looked on the HTC site and i looked on the XDA FTP.
I Can't find the latests WM5 rom for the 8125 that uses Tmo.

That proves it ! Never heard of a latest wm5 8125 Rom that uses Tmo.Posts have got everything,with that number of posts,you shud have known,there's no such Rom. Cingular 8125 and T-mobile MDA are basically same devices build by HTC.Any Wizard wm5 rom,either from cingular or T-mobile will flash and work perfectly on it.You searched you never found it,just a 'Hint' , you'll find all the latest official wm5 stock roms here,"Read the freaki'n forum":-

Secondly,I wud rather advise you to check your language,abusive words won't get you anywhere.I can also be very abusive,but I prefer to be polite,respectfull and calm. This Forum doesn't encourage and promote abusive and hostile attitude,you might get penalized if reported or 'Moderator' finds out. Be careful there.
thank you for the link.
I know either frimware can be used on the 8125, but i wanted the most stable one for the 8125 and used the t-mo frimware. because for most of the frimware i tested shows t-mo on the load screen. for the ones that doesn't show t-mo it wasn't that stable with my network.
Also, was not being hostile or abusive to you. unless you consider the word "fool" as abusive. then im sorry, I say the word Fool often to people.
and i didn't call you an asshole if thats that's what you're thinking, I was simply implying i wasn't one. and people that usually ask without searching are.
so no need to feel offending.
anyway, thanks for the link. and i don't see how posts costs for experience. Most of my posts are asking questions in topics.
if you want to know why i'm sick of WM6 frimwares, here are the main reasons:
*phone hangs when i'm doing something, and then a call comes in.
*typing too fast on the keypad or keyboard will case the phone to soft reset, like typing an email reply.
*the phone hangs when an alarm starts and I never get to hear my alarm.
Hi there,
quick one to introduce myself. I'm with the xda-zone.de since jan 04 and really do enjoy the community there. I started using pocket PCs with the Himalaya, Alpine, Universal and since yesterday, the HTC Diamond when its release has been with T-Mobile Germany.
First action was to flash Bepe's 0.54 Rom on it to make it faster and stable. Big Thx to the cook!
I additionally ordered the email flat rate option to my contract which lets me send and receive also attachements. This service requires the t-mobila application "t-mobile email pro" which was deleted through the flash..
May somebody could be so kind and send it, if avaiable? That would be nice. I appreciate your help on this...
Regards,
prince
hey guys, anyone know where / when the 6.1 software will be available for the Tilt?
I was told in the month of July, however I have visited the htc site and no 6.1 update is available, any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Chris
I read this morning on another forum that someone had talked to an Att rep and its looking like mid August. Not sure of the validity of it though
there are alot of great 6.1 options here. look around you may find out that they are better than "official" roms.
dude official wm6.1 available since February 2008! check this out

All of the WM6.1 roms for AT&T are leaked/pre-released/testing version. AT&T hasn't released its Official WM6.1 as of yet. No one really seems to know for sure (AT&T included) as to when they will ship out their 6.1 rom. I've heard July (which has passed), August, and September, as well as the cynical "Never".
Your best way of knowing is that it'll most likely be a few months after everyone else has done it and moved on.
edit: Just to add some more hearsay, check out the AT&T forum here. Some say AT&T is preparing their support staff for 6.1 questions. If true, then it's a positive note. But once again, this is all hearsay till there's an official note from AT&T. And even then it's not set in stone.
Ok XDA, step up!
LOL...come on you guys, there are confirmed reports that the "official" at&t roms have been spotted in the tilt. You mean you guys haven't been able to find one
to hack into yet? LOL....
Just kidding. After the "official" tilt rom comes out, I'll think if I want that or one of the cooked ones. I don't know if I want to bother with a cooked one. If my phone goes down, I'm screwed. I use pocket word, outlook, excel, acrobat dozens of times a day. I go through screen protectors (I use the old style palm transcriber) about once a month or more.
Seriously...keep up the work you cookers!
Dont Know
I spoke to ATT CS regarding same last week. She told me that , Its available with ATT but she is not sure when we will get it. Other thing she told me was to check the windows update in the phone, whenever they wil make it official for upgrade we can get upgrade via windows update.
I dont know if any other reason is there, but hope to get it ASAP, and looking forward to explorer 6.1
Cheers!
Amey
Whats really funny about this is that my local ATT Store now has signs next to the Tilt saying "Now Loaded with WM 6.1" or something like that, listing the threaded texting and other benefits. I asked the rep what the deal was and he said it would be available shortly, so I asked why the sign was out now and he said because they were told to put them out.

To date MS has done nothing with the update function.
WM6.1 will require a complete ROM replacement and there is no way they can do this via an update downloaded to the phone. Like the other ROM update from earlier this year, when this is officially available it will be posted for download on HTC's site and will need to performed from a connected PC.

Yes, i have talked to the people from HTC, and when it is ready which 'should be soon' then go to www.htc.com -> pick your country -> support -> choose your phone -> updates
Its out on the UK O2 site, just found it. Now if I install it I will have to re install all my apps and stuff again wont I ?
Any way I can make a complete back up of my phone and the apps as is , so I can go back to my 'working ' set up if I come up with problems ?
Thanks

neither of these links go anywhere
I was at a blog this morning and it was stated there that the ROM was at the HTC.com site stated above. As everyone knows, it is not there now. Although one of the comments on the page states the following that I found interesting: "HTC had the ROM upgrade available breifly. Then they removed the upgrade but left the page declaring that 6.1 was available. Now the page that was declaring WM6.1 is gone and refers to the WM6.0 rom from February. A few people had success in getting the 6.1 ROM image." Whether or not this is true can not be determined, but at least it gives me hope that it may be released soon (although we have seen this happen many times in the past).
My source for this info: http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/arch...-6-1-upgrade-for-at-t-tilt-now-available.aspx
if anyone downloaded it, I can't figure out why it hasn't made its way over here somewhere. From the looks of the post count on the at&t forum site, there are 2,352,465.5 people waiting for it LOL.
