Hardylane has uploaded on the FTP what appears to be T-Mobile UK's new ROM for the Wizard:
T-Mobile MDA Vario (on AKU2)
ROM: 2.21.2.6 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio ROM: 02.19.11
Extended ROM: 2.21.2.109
Can anybody post detailed instructions to install the new ROM on our Varios? there is no installer, so I don't know what to do with the uploaded file.
The thread is there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53816
Cheers
Here are some problems you can expect to face going this route.
First, you will need to upgrade your devices to 2.x IPL/SPL (bootloader)
Second, aWizard doesn't work with 2.x boatloaders for write operations such as putting Roms onto the phone.
Third, in order to use a RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) you need .nb files which can be packed into "nk.nbf"
Has anyone checked with T-Mobile to see if they have released a RUU package with this version of the Rom?
Even better, is it AKU 2.0, AKU 2.2 or AKU 2.3?
thanks for your thoughts.
The uploaded ROM comes from a recently sold Wizard. Is there anything hardylane can do to make the new ROM more easily transferred onto existing Wizards?
First, to see if it is worth the trouble, have her check the AKU version.
Start > Settings > System > About, look on the second line "OS 5.1.195( Build 14955.2.3.0)" is how mine reads. This important numbers are the .2.3.0, what does she see?
.2.0.0 is AKU 2.0
.2.2.0 is AKU 2.2
.2.3.0 is AKU 2.3
Unless it is AKU 2.3 I wouldn't get too excited about it. There are several AKU 2.3 Roms posted on the FTP which are based of a test (but stable) T-Mobile US Rom. I would recommend you guys go for the "Mr. Clean" Rom. Then find the forum that has custom splash screens & extended roms for each carrier.
This will get you to AKU 2.3 (the latest). It might be a good idea to get the official Extended Rom which I see is included the the uploaded file. I'm sure the OP in the Splash screen thread would be happy to give you guys a RUU with it.
kyphur,
For me, it's definatly worth the hassle... i've had the Qtek 'test only' update for a while now, which has enabled me to use push email, but T-Mobile UK have been dragging their heels on releasing the official UK rom update.
The owner of this Wizard has posted the official UK T-Mo rom which was ripped off his phone.
I have the nb files, i'm not sure how to update the phone using these however.
Hoping someone has the answer
me too !

Are they nb or nba files?
they're nba files.
The link to the files is this:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/
When unzipped, you get
roms-OS.nba and roms-Radio.nba, plus the ExtROM
Does it help?

nba :S
my bad
I am looking into this, but I do need a good dump of the Radio Rom if possible.
Here are the pitfalls:
There are issues with aWizard and 2.x Bootloaders so we might have to use a known good European Radio Rom like 2.17/2.21 if we can't get the Radio Rom to dump.
We will also need to flash a 2.x Bootloader. Again I can graft the 2.17 or 2.21 bootloader from another RUU Package.
Finally, are you guys CID unlocked? I can build a ROM with the T-Mobile CID (WIZTMO04) But I don't know that there is a RUU exe that will work with a 2.x rom using that CID.
Re:
Uploading..... (please wait.)
ftp://xda:[email protected]_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe
I made this for you. This is the RUU Upgrade version for TMobile UK.
enjoy.
just downloading and will be flashing asap :lol:
getting error message when trying to run update
Extracting RUUGetInfo.exe
Extracting RUUResource.dll
Extracting EnterBootLoader.exe
Extracting nk.nbf
CRC failed in nk.nbf
Unexpected end of archive
i think it is missing romupdate .exe
looks like it is the nk.ndf file that is currupt can the uploader doble check file and up load that only
cheers

Same problem here...
Sorry guys, I can't be any more help than I did. I just ripped out the Roms and posted them!
I also uploaded the AKU2 instruction book (scanned PDF)
The ROM is definately AKU2 only. Build is 14847.2.0.0
The only advantage this has is that it's a pukka UK T-Mobile ROM
does this rom have GOOD reception? if so can someone extract the RADIO ROM?
Someone is deleting things from uploads again, which is irritating the crap out of me.
has anyone else got the new t-mobile uk rom for the wizard?
summiter it looks like the nba files and ext rom have already been moved from the uploads directory to the Wizard Roms/Radio Roms/Ext Roms directorys.
What this means is that we've now got AKU2 ext Roms cabs which can be used with the Mr Clean install ... ie a UK customised version of AKU2.3 Anyone of your rom rolling experts care to put that into an installer :wink:
If this was done would the phone need to be CID unlocked ?
Well im getting my 8125 in a few days and i want to figure this out before i get it. Ive been reading the topics on this board and have found that there are a couple different roms available to update to. The ones i have seen are the 2.25 and the aku 2.3. Also i have seen a link to HTC's site that has an update available which i think is the 2.25 one through cingular. And finally i have seen the direct push update from cingular, is this the same as 2.25 or is a seperate thing that also needs to be downloaded? from what ive read on the forum it seems as if the aku 2.3 is the better one to go to so if i installed that would i also need to install the direct push update from cingular? Thanks for the help, just a little confused about it.

The AKU 2.3 ROM, as well as the 2.25 version from Cingular both have Direct Push. Anything that is AKU 2.0 and above has DP.
excuse my noobishness, but what is Direct Push?
If you're new to the Wizard and trying to pick a ROM to try, I'd suggest one of the following based on your carrier:
T-Mobile US - Download one of Xelencin's ROMs
Cingular - You want one of Summiter's creations
If you are overseas and use a different carrier, or just want a barebones ROM to customize the way you see fit, grab Mr. Clean.
Since you say you've got an 8125, I'm guessing that you're on Cingular in the US. In that case, stick with Summiter's latest as it will be a plug-and-play solution for you.
would i still need to download the direct push from microsoft if i downloaded summiters or is it built in?

Summiter's lastest is 2.3 so no further downloads needed for DP.
New question since it looks like summiter just released an updated 2.3. Do i need the update that has the bootloader or the one with no bootloader? Thanks again

If you already have AKU 2.3 then you do not need to update the BL, read his post, read it again, he says it in there! =) <-- all smiles man
this is probably a dumb question but what does AKU stand for? Its a brand new phone so i doubt it has aku 2.3 on there so im assuming i need to install the one with the bootloader. Thanks

summiter mentioned a 2.5 rom a bit back, but i havent heard or seen anything about. is there such a thing? if not, what is the newest and best rom out there, i have a i-mate k-jam on cingular, i believe im using the first rom with the a2dp and its not the beta qtek rom.

With some community effort, we could create an AKU3 ROM with BePe's stuff.

Nope. That's their AKU2.25 that's been shipping on recent 8125s WITH the G4 flash. I overwrote mine with Mr. Clean's AKU3 using Risidoro's instructions and now am trying to cook Summiter's sutff in just for fun.[/url]
Thats the 2.25 ROM they released in July. It's a pretty good update from stock, but I'm still waiting for 2.5 or 3.0 from Summiter.

I haven't seen a real 3.0 around... which carrier has that?
Anything new yet?
Anything new yet?
Hopefully Summiter could pop in and give us an update. I have been surfing the AKU 2.3 thread and seems that it is the latest one he put out. I am holding off on that in the hope that the 2.5 will show up.
Maybe I shouldn't be waiting?
Hey all
My charmer has arrived, and im picking it up tomorrow.
I recently had the joy of playing with two different XDA II handsets, one with an AKU 2.0 rom update and the other with an AKU 3.5 update on it. the AKU 3.5 both looked and performed a LOT better.
What i want to do is the following:
Cook and release a streamlined minimalist AKU 3.x (any AKU 3 version rom, be it 3.1,3.3,3.5)
however, my knowledge in this department is a little lacking.
is there ANYBODY in here who runs a charmer and has a little knowledge in cooking roms?
I'm thinking it would be as simple as the following:
1) extract AKU2.0 ROM from Charmer
2) Remove 'OS' part from the rom
3) extract AKU3.5 ROM from prophet (as this is the closest device)
4) insert the OS from the prophet into the charmer rom
5) Patch with drivers for charmer
6) recompile and away you go!
is there ANYBODY here who is willing to help?!
thank you
helmi_c is seems to be working on it. I have downloaded his AKU3 rom with nottice that it is not yet designed for regular user - and it really isn't Spent two days ressurecting my poor charmer...

ive been looking at it too. only 2 things ive noticed is a problem with the sound and internet sharing apart from that its seems fine.
well, i'll be happy if you can provide me a copy for testing - i will send you feedback, of course
Hey
well, once my charmer comes back from repair, needless to say, i will be beta testing a good, clean, stable aku 3.3 wm5 release!
dave, could you provide some sort of quick guide on how to modify the extended rom please?!
thanx
Oh boy, if this gets uploaded would i be able to upgrade to it?
I have tried a few times with dave's other rom but had no luck as i cant unlock my phone due to, i believe, upgraing using the tmobile original file. before cid unlocking it. As i understand it i now have v2 bootloeaders which cant be cid unlocked.
Hi
Hows development of this going now? not heard anything, have PM'd Helmi
would really like to release an AKU3.x rom for the charmer, would be perfect!
an have you any response from helmi? waiting for aku 3.x so long
Well, who needs Aku3 anyway if there's a rom with wm6? ;-)
I wrote a mail to T-Mobile (Germany) and asked them about any planned updates for the Charmer. As soon as I get a response, I'm gonna post it of course.
youser, i wouldnt hold out any hope for a wm6 rom for anything currently out apart from the VERY high end like the universal/hermes
i havent had a response from helmi yet, going to wait out a little while longer.
dave106 appears to have had a 'semi-working' rom on his device albeit minor things not working like camera, but im *hoping* that shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
if dave or helmi could please please please please please (pretty) please post an update on the status of an AKU 3.x update it would be extremely helpful!!
well i'll be jumping ship soon, replacing the casing and ebaying up my charmer as im moving onto the trinity.
is there NO hope for any charmer users at the moment?! will you not help us develope a little?!
if you could provide me with a *test* rom, that has bugs in it, i could probably work on ironing out the bugs (worth mentioning that i only use my charmer solely as a PDA, not as a phone)
please dave! we need help from the masters of xda-devs!
Well, helmi's aku 3.3 rom is available on pdamobiz.com. Speed is excellent, but unfortunately this ROM contains a lot of stuff included :-(
If you can live without some regional settings, which are missing (eg. czech), this ROM might be useful for you.
I downloaded a copy of WM6.1 for the Treo 750 and it is so smooth and quick. I added to usual stuff like
AIM
CloseAll
Calendar Plus
Live Search
Memaid
Pocket Player
Resco Explorer
SPB Time
Total Contact Backup
Tweaks2k2
Ilauncher
Maverick hidelogo
IE Slow Sroll Fix
After all these applications I still have 18MB of storage left on the device given I deleted all the ATT&T junk stuff out. Im also using Radio Version 1.54.30.10 and it works so good with Tmobile in Southern California.
I have read all the stuff about the WM6.1 Lite and see all kinds of problems that is just not worth going through. Arcsoft MMS is a pain and so does all the other problems. You guys should download the normal version and call it a day. Just my 2 cents.
http://www.mediafire.com/?4gxsdxh1tmm
Where is this "full" version you speak of?
its not in this forum. I would like to post it here but I dont know how to host a file here.
can you tell us where did you download so that we can also find it?
thanks
Yeah, don't say it works and not give us a link!
i was looking for the link in ppcwarez.org but the site is down. If you go there once the site is back up again and under ROM look for Treo 750 WM6.1
Is MMS working on your WM6.1 ROM? What about the battery indicator?
Link while ppcwarez.org is down:

I'm using this rom. Everything woks fine, like on official (all palm things are there).

You can upgrade using KaiserCustomRUU (like I did) - you need to rename cheeimg.nbh to RUU_signed.nbh, put it to one folder with RUU and run

So still no official WM 6.1 ROM for Treo 750, only cooked ones from other devices ............
I upgraded to this version and now my yellow light keeps blinking and cant figure out why, i am running radio 1.54.30.10 on AT&T Cingular. Anyone have any thoughts?
Hmmmm, very strange, i did a few resets with no luck, then i just went ahead to start doing some installs, the first thing i ran was the 1_CHEE_MountExtROM and did a reboot and the yellow blinking light went away, how is that for weird?
I have also been running this ROM downloaded off the ppcwarez site. It is very nice. I have yet to find any issues with it and I have noticed that it is noticeably faster than the Chaimd WM 6.0 AKU 0.7.0 ROM. I also like that the OEM battery icon is back and that the radio performance appears to be much better - retains HSDPA when surfing or tethered consistently versus swapping from HSDPA to 3G as it did in the past - also fewer dropped calls than before. Note - I did not upgrade the radio firmware and I am running on 1.54.27.00.
The only thing this ROM appears to be missing (from what I can tell at least) is MS Voice Command. I do not use this feature and so is a non-issue for me.
For anyone interested in the download of this version of 6.1, you can find the link to it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365873&page=9
I hope this can help someone.
ABS
Ok, update, so far this ROM is just as fast and much more solid then the Chaimd WM 6.0 AKU 0.7.0 ROM. That ROM crashed and locked up my phone 4 times last week with nothing else installed on the Treo so there was no issue with third party conflicts. This ROM is super stable with 1.54.30.10. I am honestly finally enjoying my treo for some time now....
Damn guys thanks I am at work right now and cant wait to get to the house and get this downloaded. I will be upgrading my tilt to the new dutty's rom and I guess I will be upgrading my treo to this rom. I am gonna be a busy man tonight. These rom updates will give the XDA Flame a much needed rest hopefully I will be able to give it an rom update as well. All is well for tonight will be a fun filled night of rom updating!!!!
