Upgrade T-Mobile Germany MDA Vario - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hello Togehter,
I've Read the new Wiki for HTC Wizard, but i can't find a clear answer how to proceed with my T-Mobilie MDA Vario.
Currently i Have the latest Firmware from the German T-Mobile Page installed. (ACU 2).
What i want to do is to upgrade to the latest Version of WM5 incl. ACU available for my MDA.
What do i have to do to...
- Have German or English language (English does not matter).
- Keep (or reactivate) the GRPS / MMS Settings from my German T-Mobile provider?
- Do the installation? Is there a way to decribe it like first.. then after and then..?
Thank you very much.. (Maybee we can attach this to the Wiki afterwords).
Bye
Seppl

yeah, I want to update my O2 XDA Mini s too, would be good to know how to keep this data
according to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WizardFAQ
What is/How do I access the Extended ROM?
The extended ROM contains a number of items mostly registry edits specific to your network which are added during the customization stage of the factory reset.

TMobile MDAIII in UK...ROM

Does anyone have an MDAIII from TMobile released in the UK? I have a German MDAIII using an PDA2K ROM now and would love to put the TMobile UK English version ROM on it....
I have the UK T-Mobile ROM, but haven't worked out how to back it up yet.
Thanks for the reply....I'm not quite sure how you would back out an existing ROM. Does T-Mobile UK have a support website for downloading ROM upgrades and such?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/DumpRom
I sent an email to the developer to see if he could update the tool for the 128 bit header that the MDAIII has instead of the 64 bit header that of the XDAII and I.
You could try it as is though.
Anyone else have any luck dumping the full ROM from a UK T-Mobile MDAIII?
I'd like to get this crappy Imate ROM off my German MDAIII and load he latest T-Mobile UK WWE ROM...
Any and all help is appreciated!!
Same here. Someone must have one :|
I have a UK T-Mobile MDA III. If someone posts me a link to the required Rom dump tools and a quick walk thru or command line then i'll upload it.
Anything to speed up development on it as i really need it unlocked :lol:
Does anyone know if it would be possible to drop the T-Mo MDA III ROM into an XDA IIs?
I love the black case so much in comparison to the PDA2k and MDA III that I'd be willing to buy one and try it out. Of couse, there's also the issue of unlocking it if not already unlocked...
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
Did you figure it out "gonesuper"?
Does anyone know if T-Mobile UK has a ftp site to download ROM updates like Qtek and Imate?
Nothing? If T-Mobile UK is selling the MDAIII through their business channels, where is the support URL to download software for it?
Hi,
I've found a site which describes how to backup the ROM to a SD card on an XDA IIs so presumably it would work for the MDA III? here's the link:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151&PN=1
If anyone is successful I would dearly love to get a copy as I'd like to swap my MDA but not let them know that I've been screwing with incorrect firmwares!
Cheers, JDH
Now that the MDAIII is listed on T-mobile UKs website, does anyone know the web address for ROM downloads on T-mobile UKs websites?
Dagger ga, I am currently complaining to T-Mobile UK about this very issue and there is another guy in the same boat. The MDA III still have the bluetooth and mic issues and although T-Mobile Germany has seen fit to post an patch/upgrade (including blackberry) the support in the UK is non existent.
I would urge you to add your voice to mine and contact T-Mobile UK customer services/technical support. Hopefully at this rate they have got to start to listen to all of us. The non existent support is scandalous for such a high end device.
Incidentally I have written another post as expansys.com on this to the other person who has these issues. See the forum: imate/PDA2K if you are interested.

Hello,
The best thing to do is install another ROM eg, i-mate ROM, and then install all the T-Mobile Extended ROM files from backup...
To backup the extended ROM...
1) Download this file to your device and run it! - ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_ROM_Kitchen_1_22/Tools/xda-developers _Unlocker.CAB
(this will installed the extended rom tools to your device.)
2) Under "Programs\Extrom Tools\" on your device click, "unlock" then click ok, next click "unhide" then ok! After this reset your device.
3) With the device ActivSync'd to your PC, browse to your device from you PC and you'll now see a folder called "Extended ROM" in the main "Device" window. In here are all your extended rom files. Copy ALL the files in this folder to your computer - DO NOT DELETE OR MODIFY ANY FILES IN THIS FOLDER (unless you know what you're doing)!!!
4) Go back into "Start\Programs\Extrom Tools\" on your device click, "lock" then click ok, next click "hide" then ok! After this reset your device.
5) ALL DONE - you should now have a copy of your extended ROM files.
Hope this helps...

Thank you for the advice you have offered. Unfortunately I am a complete novice and don't even know how to get hold of the latest Imate ROM.
If you have the time could you PM me with some further details on how to download the new ROM.
Apologies for being a pain and thanks again :?

Thanks to both DOM and the author of the above post.
I have got some reading and learning to do. Thanks for your patience for someone who is completely new to this whole xda world. No doubt I will have lots of questions along the way so I will keep this message short.

MDA Vario (T-Mobile NL)

Hi all,
I will be buying my MDA Vario today.
It will have a T-Mobile NL rom on it.
What steps do I need to take to flash the rom?
(I'm not a n00b, I've had a o2 XDA II and still own a Magician but I do need a little help with the new phone )
I already found the network unlocker (lokiwiz) here and I will use it right away.
But what steps after that?
Thanks in advance
Any one?
Also whats the best (not customized rom) out there?
And where to download...?
Cant find anything on the XDA ftp site.
I managed to upgrade my device!
Was pretty simple after a good read
But my question still remains.
Whats the best (not customized) and last rom?
What are the version numbers?
OS + radio ?

Rom update guide?

Hello everyone im new to the forum, i have a t mobile vario, i have managed to unlock it curtusy of lokiwiz unlock 0.2a. i have a few questions if someone could help me on
1. on the unlocker software there is a option of CID unlocking, what is this?
2. is there any differences between the different variations of the wizard, 02 mini, tmobile vario, kjam, qtek.... which has the better firmware??
3. can i put either kjam or qtek firmware on my vario?
Many thanks peeps :lol:
Speaking as an MDA Vario owner who has reflashed with the k-jam ROM (and now can't go back!) I would say the only benefit of changing ROM is to enable 802.11g network access, which T-Mobile disabled in software.
There appear to be no other benefits. On the downside there are features that come with the Vario that do not work with the k-jam ROM. e.g. the email setup wizard does not work. Hardly a showstopper but an example. There is also an error message on resetting about elatepushservices.exe not found or not signed. Again, it doesn't seem to cause a problem but why klutz your machine up without a good reason to do so? The version numbers of everything that comes with the Vario also seem to be higher than the k-jam ROM, which I'm guessing is a good thing.
Unless you simply must have 802.11g connectivity, as well as 802.11b, my recommendation would be to leave well alone. It will also make warranty support much easier.
oh ok so is that the only major difference then. i find my vario isn't that stable. my device currently reads
rom version 1.3.2.2 enu
rom date 9/25/05
radio version 01.04.10
protocol version 4.0.13.17
extrom version 1.3.2.102
did u use ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ for your firmware?

I did use the clubimate ftp ROM and my equivalent figures, with the Vario extended ROM remaining, are....
rom version 1.1.9.3
rom date 9/16/05
radio version 01.01.10
protocol version 4.0.13.16
extrom version 1.3.2.102
so all my version numbers are lower than yours excep the extended ROM, which I saved from my Vario.
I don't recall the Vario ROM being less stable than the k-jam but you need to be very careful what software you install as there is a lot of stuff that is not 100% WM5 compatible. It might install and it might run but it might also crash or destabilise your machine. I have only installed the T-Nobile supplied GPRS monitor, Total Commander, TomTom 5.21 and a couple of GPS utilities and that's it.
As soon as you start throwing in today plugins and other system utilities that are less than 100% WM5 compatible you are asking for trouble, IMHO.
Hi there,
I just looked on the FTP, but is there any Dutch K-Jam/Qtek 9100 ROM available for the MDA Vario?
Thanks!!
Jeremy.
on the ftp i can see:
RUU_Prodigy_1030710_110_10410_Qtek_NLD_Ship.exe
-> uploads/htc wizard
this is right for you

Just check the XDA-Dev. FTP site.
There you can find the Dutch rom which greddy pointed out.
ftp.xda-developers.com
user = xda
pass = xda
hmmm by the looks of it i might hold out until theres some newer rom updates with significant improvements. at the mo it looks like theres only a few tweeks and i dont wana risk bricking my vario.
t mobile released updates for the mda compact and mda II http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
maybe they'll release some for the vario???
For us we own an english version of Qtek 9100 in which site we'll find the future ROM Updates?
have you tried xda developers ftp site? ftp://xda-developers.com/ or dont qtek have a support area?
Hi there,
Thanks, I didn't see that.
A few questions:
1. HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD THE FILE?? I can access the FTP-server, but when I try to download the Rom, the file stops downloading after apx. 20 - 40%, whichafter I even have to reset my router to get the internet working again. I used both the FTP Explorer and the Internet Explorer.
2. Should I also upgrade the Extended Rom? I want to get rid of these ugly, squared, pink and grey T-Mobile phonepad keys, so is this stored in the Extended Rom?
Which Extended Rom should I use? There are more of them, so which one is for use with the Dutch Qtek 9100 Rom?
Thanks again!!!

If you ae comfortable doing this, could you perhaps make a backup of your t-mobile rom. I downgraded to the k-jams rom without doing a backup...silly me, anyway would be grateful if someone would pop a copy on the ftp here.

Jim
I also done exactly the same, i didn't have a miniSD card, an i was too eager to upgrade so i couldn't backup my rom.
Now i wanna go back to the T-Mobile rom but no one has one on the FTP. would you be able to upload yours?
It would be very much appreciated by a lot of people here.
Cheers
i dont mind creating a back up of my rom, if someone can point me to how i can do this.
i to want to get rid of the rubbish pink phone pad, it looks ugly
jay - are you using ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ or ftp://xda-developers.com/ ? it should work, unless your connection keeps dropping?
Need to refresh my memory on the back up procedure... get back to you on that later.
Regarding the pink key pad, a bit of registry hacking should sort that out
If you have a registry editor, follow the below, worked fine on Compact II but never got to test it on the vario before the downgrade
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin
Properties
Dword- Enabled
Value - 0 (default HTC skin - cool blue)
if you change the value to 1 it then displays the T-mobile's wonderful pink and grey pad.
Save the changes and they do a soft reset
Hope that helps

Yes, i've tried in the FTP site. But in there the roms are backed up from other devices and not directly from Qtek support. First, I would like know if there is problem or there are any diferrences between roms backed up from devices and the other from official support.
In the end, i'm asking if there is a link for official Qtek support where we can find the future rom updates.
There is a nice pdf guide on backing up your ROM here you need to do procedure 'r2sd all' as opposed to 'd2s' as suggested as that guide was for the magician.

Newest ROM?
Hi,
I own a T-Mobile MDA Vario, too. It is already flashed with a WWE-KJam-ROM. Now I want to know, if there is a possibility to flash a German ROM to it. Or if there is a newer version of the KJam.
My device informations:
ROM version : 1.1.9.3
ROM date : 9/16/05
Radio version : 01.01.10
Protocol version: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM version: 1.1.9.106

t mobile english version
hi to everyone
I have a mda vario with t mobile deutch and I'd like to know if it is possible to flash the rom into english t mobile rom or an other english rom. If possible could u gently explain me how to do?
many thanks
here are so many people with a German MDA Vario.
Isn´t it possible, that one of them reads out the original ROM and set´s it to the ftp so that others, that want a German ROM can flash this?
I am not a professional in this, so correct me if that is not possible...

Latest AKU T-Mobile UK
I am clueless in ROMs and stuff; However I have an MDAcII, wanted to check if it was up to date ROM wise (its got the 2nd version of T-Mobiles ROM on it) and I noticed today that on T-Mobile UK website they offer this for updating ROM:
RUU_Charmer_38221_382116_026921_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe
(this is on :
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/dm_compact2_sw.html)
This doesnt line up with the Wiki entry for Charmer's latest official ROM which is shown as being:
June 2006 - WWE AKU2 - T-mobile UK. RUU_Charmer_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship and which is thwe one on my MDA at present
Can anyone who knows tell me if this latest official ROM update is equivalent of AKU3? I googled for the new file name as shown above and nothing came up...
Thanks in advance...
Lesage UK
Thanks Finally
I have just used Lockwiz3 (after trying all the others ha haha)
And now my T-mobile (UK) MDA Compact II is able to use a vodaphone SIM
THANKS TO All WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE

read the stickies in this forum. You will find all the information you need.
The latest official dutch version is 2.21. You can download it from the T-Mobile website. Warning: don't update it on a G4 (no need to too, because they already contain this version).
There's a dutch 2.26 from Molski too if you want a custom rom.
English versions are all over this forum. If you can't find them, then you need to open your eyes!
