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...

Hi there
i recently purchased my 02 XDA mini S
its ROM version is 1.5.4.2 WWE
its radio version is 01.09.10
Ive been reading a lot on this site and it seems obvious that when you first buy them there not as good as they can be!!
There are lots of people talking about lots of different ROMs and im slightly confused!!!
What would be the best one for me to instal (if i need to at all), why would it be better than what i've already got? and how i can go about doing it?
Im quite knowledgable about technicle stuff so im not a complete rookie but any help would be GREATLY appreciated
look foward to hearing replies
thanks!!
Jamie
hi jamie! you've the best ROM, don't change it!!!!I'm searching for it in FRENCH for one month!!!
The ROM 1.6.7.1 is good too but only for edge download and the extrom is write protected!
So you can install the 1.6.7.1 only for the edge, otherwise keep yours!!
Check this http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=518&more=1
I currently have 1.8.11.1 WWE/01.09.11 what is the newest ROM out that is not BETA?
I am picking up a tmobile mda this weekend. I have a few things I would like to do to it but all the talks about the different roms and kitchens, radio etc can be a bit confusing. Here is what I would like to do maybe you can point me in the right direction.
1. I am an att customer so it will need to be unlocked
2. I would like windows mobile 6
3. Touch would be a big plus
4. I would also like to use the contacts that are scrollable that I have seen on a few youtube vids.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am reading the flashing guide as well as any other guides that look helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you CID unlock or SIM unlock (or both)?
If you are not sure then go through the links in the 2nd post. If CID unlocked then you can install WM6 but again go through the links in 2nd post and the sticky thread on "how to flash" in this forum.

be sure to know what you're doing. better to think twice....
i recommend the xda roms easy to do and a great perfomance.
but when you're a handy person use the central kitchen.
good luck

Not sure what you mean by private, but I'd suggest upgrading the radio to the UK T-Mobile 2.19 version here.

Will that work here in the US? Is it better than my Cingular 2.25.11 radio?
Also my phone is not unlocked or anything. Will I have to unlock it to be able to upgrade the Radio Rom?
Thanks

Also just incase i screw up is this a brick risky situation or can it be reversed?

If there is something I've experienced as a forum member here on XDA, is that the best WM6's and the tuturorials are all easily accessible as a few reads on the forums. In assistance, I'll help you out on the right track.
So far you've gotten all the hard stuff out of the way, CID unlocking, the right IPL/SPL and thank heavens you have a G3 Wizard. What you just need is a WM6 ROM since that's what you requested. I've tried several, my first being WM6 Most Beautiful. It was clean, simple and fast. Since then, more awesome ROM versions came out from several cooks. The latest that came out is TNT 5.0, in which I'm checking out the TouchFLO version. You can find the thread here. It has several versions of it, and I propose you try Professional first before the others.
If you just want to be a little basic using a WM6 ROM, I tried XDA Mobile 6 revision 2a from mfrazzz (he's very reliable). Revision 3 came out, which should be a whole lot snazzier. You can find that here.
It's all experience when you want to try different ROM's of different cooks. Since each ROM is tailored by the cook's individuality, it takes time to really feel which one you want. Surf around this site for others, it wont take up too much time.
One tip: When upgrading to a WM6 ROM, always flash back to a factory ROM before upgrading to ensure correct battery utilization and your IPL/SPL and GSM radio doesn't screw up.
Hopefully the guys could help with this too, I don't want to lead you into a screw-up.
Good luck!
I remember seeing links for different version of radio Rom that someone posted after building the cooked rom. For the life of me I searched all over and can not seem to be able to find it. If anyone would be kind enough to link me.....Thanks
I think you meant this right?
Yes, Thank you. i cant believe with all the views and no one replied. What is wrong with the members these days.
Radio Rom Upgrade Details
hey paypalbid
I too downloaded the latest ROM (I believe from the Hermes site). Could you tell me the specific steps on how you went about upgrading just the Radio part. What utility did you use and did your phone need to have Olipro Hard-SPL prior to upgrading the Radio ROM
Thanks
V
To be on the safe side this is what i did
I did use the Olipro unlocker which were on this sticky thread, I did not use his later version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100
Then I use this program to just to make sure the SIM and IPL/SPL were unlocked completely
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347682
After that everything was good to go. Just hook your phone up to active syn and run. When it ask what IPL/SPL you have just pick 1.04 and let the process run on its own.
ROM upgrade
paypalbid
The links you send me was for Olipros Hard SPL and then something to check if the phone is unlocked
I have an unlocked phone already with an unbranded ROM. My question is to upgrade "Just" the Radio ROM what did you use. Was is it a Kaiser utility or was is it CustomRUU.
Please give me specific steps "Post" your unlock process and ROM upgrade to perhaps a branded or unbranded ROM.
Also to others reading this thread if you have an unlocked and unbranded ROM in your current TREO how to just upgrade the Radio ROM
To be specific I have V2.27 RWE ROM which put in 1.54.01.00 Radio and need to upgrade to either the AT&T 1.54.07.00 Radio or 1.54.30.10 Hermes Radio. Any links on the various Radio differences. This should be a sticky

i used the kaiser one. No radio is "the answer" it is all based on your carrier and where you at. Radio Rom is all about personal trial and error.
I cannot download from the ftp link...
Any other link?
you cam find them here:
