Have read quite a few threads here, but all these requests seem to be suggesting the i-mate ROM image.
Are there any legit UK T-Mob ROMs out there? I had an early UK ROM on it, but it used to crash when you recieved a call in standby mode, and BT used to come up with a trial period has ended message quite often, so I flashed it with the i-mate software.
Was wondering if there's a ROM to restore it back to T-Mob yet (but a stable version)?
TIA
There is an official T-Mobile (NL) 1.72.190 ROM out now.
If you like more add-ons maybe my (T-Mobile based) 1.72.902 ROM (which I will shortly update with the new 1.72.190 things) is something for you.
Plz search the forum for the threads.
It can be used on any of the T-Mobile networks without problem (as said by T-Mobile users in Uk and USA).
Are you referring to XDA III/PDA2K/IIs unit or XDA II? Reason I ask is because this is under the Blue Angel thread area.
there is a UK T-mobile rom for the MDA III ?????????????? Can you please tell me where I can get it? And will it work for my German Tmobile MDA III ??? (i am currently using the english pda2k rom on my german mdaIII)
THanks!

*I* mean MDA3, which is the T-Mob branded BlueAngel yes
And thanks edsub, but it looks like you are talking about the wrong device
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.
Please feel free to click on the following so you can do this http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/index.html.
Thanks again for taking the time to contact me Philip and I do hope you can upgrade your phone soon.
If you have any other questions about this then please let me know and I'll be happy to help.

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?

Promising....
Steve
You dont visit the forums much, do you? The date on that article is Feb. 12th..
So does anyone have an idea when it is coming (rumors, etc)? The TyTN guys are up and running on WM6, I'm getting jealous here.

It is expected to be released to existing customers and pre-loaded on new devices in July/August 2007. Because Palm have made so many adjustments to make WM5 work better on the Treo, they will have to do that again and it will take some time to fully test.

Since WM6 is not very different from WM5, I think it shouldn't take long.

I would assume the same thing, but they wont release it so quickly after releasing the unlocked Treo. Plus, after speaking with reps from Palm there is still a lot of confusion amongst them all about when it will happen.
Palm Australia does not know ****
DO not expect a Palm WM6 upgrade for current Treo 750's at all
I promise you it will not happen.

I didnt mention Palm Australia. I have spoken with Pal Australia, Singapore and UK and have got a maybe from Australia and a Yes from Singapore and UK, infact Singapore has officially confirmed it in an interview with cnet interview (asia.cnet.com)
Existing Palm user WILL get an upgrade to their Treo 750/750v.
Hi. Where?
Can you post a link to the article where cnet asia reported that Palm said existing 750 owners would be upgraded to WM6?
Let's be clear: we know 750s will eventually be sold w/ WM6 loaded. I have not seen anywhere (pending cnet asia post notwithstanding) that says that existing 750s w/ WM5 will have an option to upgrade to WM6.
Any documentation would be interesting.
Thanks.
RJH2
Even (!) if there would be no official upgrade, current users can install the firmware from "new" Treos with WM6.

Here is the other article i read on the subject. http://apcmag.com/5377/palm_treo_750_has_an_upgrade_up_its_sleeve i cannot find the asia Cnet one at the moment.
Palm will offer both a new Treo 750 with WM6 on it and an upgrade, i would assume for marketing purposes that they will release the Treo pre-loaded with WM6 first and then release an update to existing customers within the weeks after that. Either way, I'm sure someone smart will upload the rom for everyone
Thanks, that article is certainly encouraging. Hope to see it soon.

Interesting....
For those of you who may be interested in a CDMA Treo 750...i wouldnt trust this too much, yet

It is out (WM6+HS) and am testing it. I'll give you update later
Where'd you get it? If you're 'testing' it, then it's not really out. What's HS?
What??? I sense sarcasm

I'd assume it is HSPDA which is included in the Treo ROM for WM6

Great News austin_boy! Can you post some of your first impressions here?
I have MDA III with windows Mobile 6
How can i update it to 6.1?
I called them the other day....they first said that they do not have the MDA Vario III in their product range
Once they'd accepted that they do have the MDA Vario III in their range, they stated they had no plans to provide a WM6.1 update.
To be honest, I don't really think the drone who took my call really knew what I was asking for
You can, of course, flash HardSPL then install one of the cooked 6.1 ROMs - check the links in my sig for more info.

i've come to the conclusion over the past few years, that T-Mobile are absolutely useless. they never release updates, not even from WM5-6.
Ur better off flashing a 6.1 ROM, they run a lot better anyway
If u need a hand, just PM me.
err that is not exactly correct. t-mobile released a wm6 rom for the vario II a long time ago. it can be downloaded from their website
Indeed it can:

However up until the date that it was released, T-mobile phone people and even technical support were denying that it would ever happen. One T-mobile technician I spoke to even advised me to go to xda-developers instead......
Good morning,
I am a newbie and I can't find what I am looking for. Sorry if this has been posted else where.
I own a TMOBILE - MDA VARIO III and having several issues. At present it runs Windows Mobile 6 profressional. I note from the microsoft site several of my issues have been resolved; plus it looks nice as well.
My question is;- How do I lay my hands on the update for Windows Mobile 6.1? Tmobile are useless and wont help. I can't obtain the update from Microsoft and HTC won't help as its a TMOBILE serial number.
Help.....
Hi,
You can find all the information about upgrading to 6.1 on the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Also, you might want to read the rules about starting a new thred before you ask a question like this again...

This has been gone over a hundred times, if in fact you had searched you, would have found it.
WM 6.1 comes from Micro$oft, Htc " writes " the roms and include 6.1 in their roms.
T-mobile requests the rom from HTC with T-Mobile specific features added. then T-mobile releases the rom to their customers.T-mobile has NOT released a WM 6.1 rom to their customers yet.
If you still want 6.1, there are many custom roms on this site that can be downloaded to your phone.
Read the wiki. Don't start redundant threads and welcome to XDA,
According to a source, T-Mobile will hopefully be releasing WinMo 6.1 on the Vario 3 in July/August to coinside with the Vario 4 release dates....
