T-Mobile GER update failed

Hi,
I'm quite unhappy, because the update process with the original T-Mobile ROM from their website failed. No, the device will not go beyond the splash screen. I tried to update again (bootloader screen is accessible), but this does not help. Strangely, On the PC the ROM-Version is not shown. After a hard-reset I get the Error
Format FAT partition
Format is failed
Old ROM:
IPL 1.06
SPL 1.06
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.6.2.1
New ROM:
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.21
GSM 02.19.11
OS 2.21.2.8
What can I do?
-- Update --
I talked to T-Mobile and I will get a new device soon. Let's see which firmware is on that one...

T-Mobile: Brilliant! Just 30 hours after my call, I got a brand-new MDA Vario in exchange for my old one. It has already the newest official ROM on it.

ROM Upgrading

I just bought MDA Vario, and i want to upgrade using Molski's ROM.
My current device information are :
IPL / SPL : 1.08
ROM : 1.8.10.2 WWE
Radio : 01.09.10
It's possible for me to upgrade using directly to Molski's ROM from this current ROM?

From what I read I do not believe so...I think you have to have a IPL/SPL of 2.XX first which means you need to load one of the newer tmobile rom's first to upgrade the bootloader.

Help: Cannot Reflash back to Stock Cingular 8125 2.25 ROM

I am having a weird problem. I am unable to reflash back to the stock cingular 2.25 rom you get from the htcamerica.net site. Here's what happened. First of all I started off with
ipl 2.25
spl 2.25
GSM 2.25
OS 2.25
I was interested in istalling Faria's Aku 3.2 rom, So I downgraded to CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE then I ended up with
ipl 1.01
spl 1.01
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
Then I CID unlocked the phone with lockwiz 02b. Then I installed Molski's RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2, which gave me
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
All seem to go well when I saw molski's flash screen, and his ext rom installed. But I was skeptical when I saw the GSM and OS still at 1.12.10, and 1.5.4.2 respectively. Anyways, I figure thats the way it should be. So then I tried to Flash Faria's FARIA-HTC-WIZARD -3.2-RC1-8MB, but nothing installed but the flash screen. The ext rom tried to installed but ended with a "windows cannot find autoconfig.exe" error. After several attemts I gave up and try to reflash back to the stock 2.25 Rom, and I am getting a "Upgrade error, invalid nbf file." Well something like that. Anyways, after several attempts, its a no go.
So what do I do from here. Do I start over with the downgrade rom and make sure that it was CID unlocked then start over again, or is there a step I am missing.

Ok, I figured it out. Finally. Apparently lockwiz 2.0 didn't CID unlock the device correctly, so I tried using lockwiz 2.0b and it Correctly CID unlock the device. I have finally been able to flash Faria's AKU 3.2. Yippeeeee.....

Downgrading to 1.05 ROM to get WM6

After finally deciding to upgrade to WM6, I had trouble getting it working. The crossbow installer finishes, but everything is still WM5.
After some searching I found these directions:
- Downgrade to Button's 1.05 ROM
- Reset and watch the IPL/SPL in the bootscreen to make sure both are version 1.xx (CID Unlock is only possible when your IPL/SPL are of version 1.XX)
- Unlock your phone ( CID UNLOCK ) with lokiwiz app or aWizard
- Install Tmo's latest 2.26 ROM so you have a good 2.26 IPL/SPL to work with, since the WM6 rom hasn't IPL/SPL included
- Install this WM6 Crossbow ROM
BUT I CANNOT FIND THE 1.05 ROM!!! Or even the Tmob 2.26 ROM which is even taken down off of their website. Are there any mirrors on freehosts anywhere? I'm sure I'm not the only one having this problem.

Well, it depends on the Gx version of the phone you have. Also, the TMo ROM is on TMo's website.

Yea I found the Tmob ROM and am trying risdoro's method of editing the ROM. It is a G3. Still not having much luck. I found an old link of the 1.05 ROM here:

How can I upgrade my Radio ROM to 2.19.11?

How can I upgrade my Radio ROM to 2.19.11?
I'e got:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.12.10.0
OS 6.0.0.1
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Choose one from below, then flash it directly.
T-Mobile-NL_2.19.11_Radinly
T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly

Tried that but then my GSM was gone... no Radio whatsoever... Any ideas?
Thanks.

Did you unzip the folder and run ROM update? If you did then the problem is you need to upgrade to IPL 2.26 & SPL 2.26

It's because you have a 1.xx IPL and SPL. The only way that it is going to work is if you upgrade your ROM. You're going to have to upgrade the whole thing cuz if you would just upgrade the IPL/SPL to 2.xx to make the GSM work then the OS wouldn't.

OR download latest official carrier Rom AKU 2 version,to upgrade to IPL/SPL2.xx,than upgrade to Radio 2.19 if he doesn't want to opt for unlocking and upgrade

Thanks for the replies... just one last question, if I upgrade the whole ROM to IPL/SPL to 2.xx will the XDA remain unlocked (SIM & CID)?
Thanks.

Yes it will, unless the ROM contains a CID but I don't know of any that do. I know for sure that the T-Mobile ROM doesn't since it's the one I always flash back to before flashing a newly cooked WM6 ROM.
