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...

I don't believe the WM6 ROM that I got contains a Radio ROM, so I'm still using my old Radio ROM 2.47.11, which I think it's the latest.
shogunmark posted this awhile back on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279380

i have 2.47.11 on WM6, and i have some problems, my device keeps rebooting when talking over 5 minutes... was ok in the WM5 3.2 version, but now im getting problems again....

I use T-Mobile 2.19.11 radio, works perfect (never change a winning team!).

oh, thats nice if its working... gonna grab that one then.... hope its on the ftp, and the RADIO ONLY update thanx for info !!!
love your .cab hacks , they work for WM6 also
just needed to get few more cabs and the OS is fast, and stable... nice work everyone

Would that be on the US network?
GSM when it boots is the radio rom right?
I seem to be experiencing some problems most notably the reception has gotten worse (in terms of # of bars) since upgrading from your molski ROM to the WM6 rom, as well as the prompts for roaming.

Does this rom work for Cingular in the US? I just loaded it as 2.25 was giving me weird issues on wm6, but since this is a euro spec radio not sure how it handles 850

hjkl;' why no delete?

Everyone is saying to use the tmobile 2.19.11 radio rom but all i can find is the UK version. Does this work in the US? If not, where can i find a US version? Search doesnt help much, and google gives me junk. I dont trust many other sites then here or tmobiles site, so any help would be appreciated.

all the same afaik (all of them are quadband, so no problem) - just go ahead with the UK one!

Heh... when searched failed me, I kept trying with google, and oddly enough, it found an instance of "2.19" and "radio" that the internal search did NOT find. sure enough, that thread had a post where someone (with an american flag symbol in his info) said he used that rom, so i tried it out. I called myself, and the call went thru, so I would say its safe for now. Thank you for your reply though, I was expecting a "search for it" reply if any.

which is the best radio?

hello friends... i'm using wm6 generic wwe.. i dont know what radio version is in my treo 750.. cos the rom doesnt have "device info" what a strange!!!

do you know how to decide which radio rom do you have without standard htc device info? I have T750 running wm6 with some radio which was there when i bought them, runnig on hsdpa many times, and everything is ok but i dont know how to check which version do i have

2.19. seems to be the best for any WM6 or 6.1 as all the others seem to get lost calls. Its also dependent on your provider.Some people has better luck with laster versions but like I said it depends on who you are with and where.

Can you provide a link please?

Just do a search on Radio 2.19 and you will find all kinds of links.

Um....there is no radio 2.19 for the treo 750 or hermes. The latest rev is 1.54.30 I believe.

wheres the thread "upgrading radio only" ??
i cant find the radios available to cheetah

Merlyn is right. I made a mistake and was thinking about my wizard 8125 and not my Treo 750. Radio 2.19 is for the wizard.

Incoming calls undelivered

I purchased my HTC Touch Diamond yesterday, and I'm already experiencing problems with it. I did a few tests, and here were the results:
Diamond = HTC Touch Diamond (Rogers)
Phone1 = Nokia E90 (Rogers)
Phone2 = Home phone (Rogers)
1: Diamond calls Phone1, and Phone1 receives call.
2: Phone1 calls Diamond, and call goes into "Unavailable" message. However; if you wait long enough on Phone1, Diamond will receive a missed call, with less than a second ring.
3. Diamond calls Phone1 again, Diamond doesn't hear ringer, but "Dialing" message is displayed.
4. Phone2 calls Diamond, and call goes into "Unavailable" message.
5. Diamond calls Phone2, Diamond doesn't hear ringer, but "Dialing" message is displayed.
The reception bar is full, and the phone has minutes. The calls made and received gets through when it feels like it. Sometimes they get through, sometimes they don't. Please help me out on this one.

try to upgrade your rom. the newer radio versions are way better that the shipped one.

Thank you for the reply.
I'm currently running on;
ROM Version: 1.37.720.2 wwe
ROM Date: 06/16/08
Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Which update would be the best for my phone at the moment?
-Johnny

just out of curiosity which band are you on 3g or gsm - the newer roms start 1.93 have a look in the diamond roms forum for one which suits your needs, preferably one with a new radio, if you are experiencing signal problems.

Hi Ekksman,
I believe I'm running on Edge. It's the little "E" symbol that's already there. I have no idea how to switch to the others bands.

One quick question Karim099,
Out of the ROM series on that list, how do I know which HTC version my phone is? I have the P3490.
-Johnny

all official 1.93 roms are almost similar but each one has its own regional settings according to the CID (country ID)
you can flash only the WWE version because it matches your phone's CID ( unless you CID unlock your device using HardSpl)
i know there are multiple WWE roms. so i advise you to download the upgrade from the htc.com official website according to your device serial number.
regards,
Karim

The official website was my first stop when trying to upgrade my phone. Unfortunately, there are no ROM updates available for my serial number on the site.
Will the WWE versions be the only version that will work successfully? I haven't unlocked anything for my device.
-Johnny
P.S. Thank you for the replies!

Do I choose any WWE version? And which country is the RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2? Sorry for all the question, it's my second time ever flashing a phone. Need to be cautious.. I don't know which CID I'm running on.

The site takes me to a message saying "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." I believe it's locked to only Rogers & Fido. There are no updates on the site at all..

u can wait for official updates...
i doubt that any of the official updates will match your CID
you could CID unlock and install one of them.
by the way the rom developement forum is full of coocked roms which improve performance and battery life. take a look at it.

that mean only 9 person still have a problem with this problem.. the radio of 1.58.21.23. and 1.27.35.28 still have a problem.. maybe someone can create a radio optional if their cannot use the 1.58.21.23. and 1.27.35.28. comodon if you using that radio of 1.58.21.23. you cannot make shift become a phone right?

Radio 1.27 is a modified radio by cmonex to adapt to the phone roms. WIthout it, you would have a big buzzing sound in the speaker at each boot.
1.58 is normaly a dump from the stock radio on european shifts. It can phone too, but without sound, it's quite useless.
Cmonex is provider for both radio. I only touch roms, not radio. This is her who can help you there.

yes that's correct thaihugo,thanks for the explanation,I think that cmonex can create a new radio rom for us or someone that have a original radio for htc shift for asian version rom or original radio please upload here.so that can fully ultilized the internet broadband

Black screen

I reflashed Gullum's rom with radio 1.27 rad. after I got problems with phone connection. I have since that a black screen, which I don't get fixed with all I found on black screen problems. Could somebody support me to get it running again? (No sound in Vista either after reinstalling)
