After changing my Dutch Vario to UK everything is working ok except the today plugin for T-Mobile. It looks as the shortcut for the T-Mobile option (The one that's warning your going online) is just calling the exe BrandedBrowser. After that nothing happens. Modifying the HTCtodayscreen.dll to change the shortcut also doesn't work. So I hope someone can post the original T-Mobile UK BrandedBrowser.exe.

here ya go tmobile uk brandedbrowser
hi, I also want to change my dutch version vario to english, is everything ok when i change it? thanks
thanks jimmy_boy for the UK BrandedBrowser.exe
I will giveit a try and see if I can change the default homepage from T-Mobile UK into the Dutch T-Mobile startpage.
Upgrading the Vario from Dutch to English was simple, just followed the instructions to CID unlock the device and then start the UK exe file. Toke about 20 minutes. I have the feeling that the English rom is a little bit faster. It now show 1.6.2.4 WWE instead of 1.6.2.2 NLD
Also patched the WLAN to connect at 54Mbps. So, I'm very happy with my Vario.

No probs nicodekker im pleased to help the HTC wizard community as much i can
Missing files
Hi.
I copied the file to my \windows directory and launched the file (in a non-T-mobile ROM) and I get the popup box that I am about to go online. I click OK and the box disappears but nothing happens. Do I also need to install the web'n'walk.cab and/or are there required registry entries?
Yes, I know have a TyTN and 8525 (I do have the T-mobile ROM for that phone but the result is the same). Is there something that is launching that T-mobile US does not recognize?

Appreciate that this is an old thread but in order to use the t-mobile brandedbrowser you need to add (or modify) 2 registry entries:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PIEPlug]
"WebStub"=dword:00000000
"home"="http://www.t-mobile-favourites.co.uk"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PIEBrowser]
"Path"="\Windows\BrandedBrowser.exe"
(change the UK www address to your own countries web address)
Working OK on my HTC Touch Dual.

Hello everybody
Yesterday I tried to use "lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker v0.2b" for my new T-mobile MDA Vario because otherwise I was not able to upgrade the ROM from 1.6.2.2 to the latest one. But.. in the end I got a problem. To be honest this problem was appearing periodically before unlocking/upgrading but now it presents permanently. I simply can not dial any phone number. The systems responds as: "SIM card is not installed or invalid" (something like that from translation from Dutch into English, originally: "SIM-kaart ontbreekt of ongeldig").
I already tried to use this SIM in my previous phone (SE T630) and it still works perfectly. I can dial numbers, I can SMS, whatever. But in my new T-mobile MDA Vario this SIM card just does not admit dialing the phone numbers.
Does anybody have any thoughts, what it might be?
Thank you very much in advance!!!
P.S. Honestly, in case of warranty during unlocking process I kept my SIM card out off the MDA.
Just for info...
When I bought MDA the version of ROM was 1.6.2.2 NLD
After upgrading I got ROM 2.21.2.5 NLD and ExtROM 2.21.2.108
As I see now it connected to T-mobile network but still can't dial any number, reporting of the possible problems with SIM card. In the same time this SIM card is working with no any problems in my T630.
This is a very strange problem indeed. When you turn your device on or soft reset, does the device ask for a PIN code for the phone? If it asks for a PIN code and it accepts that code and starts searching for a signal, that means that the device can read the SIM card. It is very strange that when you have a signal, the device cannot make call. Either it should not be able to compare your PIN code to the one on your SIM and give an error message, or if it accepts your PIN code, you should be able to make calls. Perhaps there is a hardware problem with your SIM slot that makes the device unable to read the info on your card? Since it works in your other phone, the SIM does not seem to be the problem. You can try flashing another ROM on it to test if the device works with that ROM. If that does not work as well, flash back to an original T-Mobile NL ROM and call T-Mobile for your warranty.
When it is loaded it shows up the Telefoon screen with the following message: "Ongeldige of ontbrekende SIM-kaart. U kunt nog wel alarmnummers bellen, als uw seviceprovider dit ondersteunt." If I type numbers it show stars, like I would enter the password. Why stars? I already tried to input my unlocking code but it didn't help, as looks like it expects something else that this. I may just press Annuleren and continue working with other available functions of MDA but still may not use the phone.
Could you please share the info how to downgrade back to 1.6 ROM?
Thank you very much for your response!
Ok, this indicates that your device cannot read your SIM card. The screen you get on start-up is the screen where you normally enter your PIN code, if the device can read your SIM Card. That is why you see only stars when you enter a number there. Seems to me that your device cannot read your SIM Card and therefore cannot compare the PIN you enter to the one on your SIM card. You should not be able to get a signal from T-Mobile, since your phone cannot read the SIM and cannot register with the network. This can be caused by three problems: either your SIM card slot is broken, or your ROM is faulty (try flashing it to another ROm first, for instance a Qtek ROM from the ftp server, there are many ROMs available there) or the SIM card is defective ( seems not to be the case here, since it still works in your other phone).
I recommend that you first try another ROM on your phone, e.g. a Qtek ROM. If the problem goes away then, just keep the Qtek ROM or try flashing the T-Mobile ROM again. If that does not help, flash the latest T-Mobile ROM (from their website) to your device and claim your warranty for a broken sim slot.
As far as I know it is not possible to downgrade to the 1.6 ROM, it is a non-AKU ROM and cannot override an AKU ROM. Perhaps someone can correct me, since I am not a 100% sure of this. You do not need the 1.6 ROM at all, if the Qtek ROM does not work, just flash the latest T-Mobile ROM to your device and claim warranty. Since you then have an official T-Mobile ROM on your device, warranty should not be a problem.
Would be that a problem to flash latest T-mobile upgrade back from Qtek? I need to know it just in case I would not be able to do that. Cause otherwise, sorry, but im ****ed up in front of warranty office..
It should not be a problem to flash the T-Mobile ROM over a Qtek ROM. You can first try a hard-reset to see if that solves your problem. You can also call T-Mobile Klantenservice and tell them your problem. Tell them you want to use a Qtek ROm to figure out the problem and ask them permission to do so. They are known to give permission for such actions if that can save them from repairing your device. Be sure they make a note in your file stating that they give you permission, that makes your case stronger if there is a problem with your warranty later on. Good luck!
Do you think it's illegal installing even T-mobile NL ROM updates by myself, i.e. not asking T-mobile to do so?
Like I said the previous version of my ROM was 1.6.2.2. Then I actually tried to flash the latest UK version (2.21.2.5). The network signal was actually appearing from time-to-time but then it just died. Then I tried to install the latest NL version (2.21.2.5NLD) to check whether the signal would appear. But it didn't help.
Installing official T-Mobile updates is not illegal. T-Mobile NL made the upgrade available on their site. These updates are meant to be carried out by the users themselves, therefore the file and instructions are placed on their site. For other brands ( Nokia, SE) these updates cannot be done by the users themselves, but Windows Mobile updates are meant to be done by you, thereby saving T-Mobile the costs of performing the upgrades for you. So if an official T-Mobile ROM is on your device, they can never deny you your warranty. You can try to replace the radio Rom only (there is a thread on this) to see if that helps, but I recommend flashing an official T-Mobile NL ROM on your device and claim your warranty. Since you have tried different ROMs, the problem obviously resides in the hardware. If a hard-reset does not help, use the lokiwiz application to sim and cid lock your device again and T-Mobile will not be able to see that you had unlocked it. Just mention that you tried a hard reset and that you tried upgrading to the latest official T-Mobile ROM and they will have to honour your warranty.
Re: T-mobile NL: problems with dialing after unlocking &
First of all to my knowledge T-Mobile MDA Vario in NL is SIMlocked and CID locked . If you want to know the difference I advise you to search in the xda-forum or google it.
Here are a few comments from my experience of upgrading and unlocking my MDA Vario.
( BTW I have T-Mobile MDA Vario initially with 1.6 ROM and SIM& CID lock -first upgraded to 2.21.2.5 then unlocked with lokiwizard3a !! )

I disagree with this, upgrading should not require you to unlock your device unless you upgrade to a None-T-Mobile ROM. If this was your main target ( only the Tmobile upgrade ) you shoudn;t have messed with the unlock stuff

I am a bit puzzled you state that the device was not behaving well before you started tweaking. Why did you not go to the Tmobile shop? OK you like the challenge ? Anyway it does look like a Hardware issue to start with.

OK what have you tried else?
The suggestion of trying a QTEK ROM shold be blocked by your CID lock. I you remove the CID lock ( which is possible but not legal ) your warranty is at risk. Tmobile may claim you messed up your device ...
Therefor What I did is only take the SIM lock out. Lokiwizard 2(a/b) did not work for my upgraded MDA so I looked around a bit and found that there is a newer version 3a. That one worked for me on the Tmobile 2.21.2.5 ROM. I did not use or try the QTEK rom since the Tmobile rom allows my warranty to be safe and is newer ( and stable afaik) then the QTEK rom .
I also have found there are updater that do not check your version number of NBF file because you officially can not downgrade the 2.21.2.5 so there is a way back should you need to. Though I personally did not verify this . I mailed with a person here at XDA forum who did it with success.
I would propose to play dummy when approaching Tmobile and not ask to go to QTEK rom and tryin to be the smartass.
Try to downgrade and go for warranty - thats what I would do..
I downloaded the Vodafone NL rom update for the 750, and i put it on the memory card as instructed, however, when it flashes, which takes about 30 minutes, when I hard reset as I am instructed to do (in Dutch), the vodafone rom seems to have taken effect because of the theme and the different initial settings when setting up the device, but in the device information, it says 1.13-CNG instead of 1.15-VFE. I am trying to switch to the Vodafone ROM to correct some bugs that are going on with the Cingular ROM, and I used the Nextgen Server to unlock the phone (and supposedly CID unlock as well).. any help would be appreciated!

How is your treo now, i have got treo cingular, and want to flash it with vodafone one, did you find it better, or stay with cingular?

In treocentral a guy replied me that the following features are also prsent in vodafone one:
1- Direct dialing from the today screen (lookup field)
2- The customized right softkey (menu)
3- Photo today speed dial (I know it is present in 750v also)
4- when u missed a call, u get an option to callback or dismiss.
5- When u dial an unkown number, u get the option to add to contacts or copy and add.
6- Threaded SMS messaging
7- searching for contacts from messages editor.
8- keyguard program.
Did you miss any feature that was in cngular ROM and not present in Vodafone ROM other than those specified? and apart from the stability, what about the fastness, is vodafone ROM faster than the cingular?
Lastly, I noticed that the cingular ROM sometimes miss some missed calls ad i have to go to cal log to verify the missed calls, di u experience such a problem in vodafone ROM?

I am in the same boat as you. I think the problem is that the Voda rom is not digitally signed for our device. I'm not sure though.

According to Palm's Windows Mobile dev guide there is a slight difference in the radio between the Treo 750 and the Treo 750v.

Which Vodafone rom ...
Which rom did you use on the Treo 750/Cingular?
Palm released the WM6-Update in English now.
How long will they need to release the update in other languages, for example German ?
I asked Palm but they even have no planned release date they could tell ....................

Thank you for contacting Palm(tm) Technical Support.
Your case number is: X-XXXXXXXX
You ask when the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade will be available for the generic Treo 750.
Unfortunately we do not have a date for the release, but the "coming soon" shoul mean about a month.

Vodafone Austria has just released the german update >>> www.a1.net/treo
Thanks for you info.
As far as i can see the update version is Treo750-2.18 carrier code VFD,
so Vodafone German.
I'll give it a try.

Can u give us a feedback on such things as:
Are the alternate symbols working, i.e. umlaute like ä,ö,ü with on click, or do u still have to hit the navkey three times down to choose them?
What kind of branding does this rom offer? A1 or Vodafone splashscreen for powering on and off the phone? Any waste of storage, like program links known from the att rom?
I am really looking forward reeding u'r experiences.
The only branding in this Rom is the Vodafone logo at startup and shutdown. No additional crap and apps like in the AT&T one.To get rid of the Vodafone logo you could make the Treo vanilla by deleting the extrom as described in other threads here.To get the Umlauts just press the alt key.
After the vanilla procedure
CC-Cap : 000-000-001
Carrier DB: 251
Free memory
Data: 54.65 MB
Programs: 28.53 MB
Firmware and OS-build are the same as in the English Vodafone-Version.
The Software-Version remains unchanged.
Well, I cannot update. When I start the original Update I'll get the error, that the update isn't for my device. I have a REGULAR Treo 750 not the Vodafone branded one. So I know it's not the "right" one. Where do I get a patched RUU.exe or something?
I expanded the Updater .exe-File and started the T750URT.exe and he Flashed a ROM, and as there's only one, namely CHEEIMG_FW.nbh I thought I would have WM 6 on it, but I didn't.
So can it be, that I have to unlock my device? Or is it an other problem?
To upgrade you can use the SD-card method described in this forum.
Or try this one:
- start the updater, stop at the first screen
- look at your temp directory, there is a new folder created
- edit the file "payloads.xml", in the section "carrier codes" replace the 3 letters with the letters you see on your treos system info
- go on with the updater (start update)
good luck
calico
have you tried to take the way with the Flashcard?
rename the Cheeimg_fw.nbh to cheeimg.nbh
format the SD-Card, copy file on it, reset while pressing the button below the volume-control and wait
A 750v (what you'll get - Imho) is not able to pull the Mailboxnumber from your Sim (if it's not a VF one) and it is not editable.
Can you imagine to make an Image of your original 750? Because it's german.

If you tell me how, I would surely make an image of my treo 750 without V before upgrading to wm6. I would also love to have an backup, but i got no idea how to do it. And there's no Information in the Wiki.
hmm,
there must be some dump tools in the ftp area. I've never done this, so I can't tell you how to.

Couldn't find anything on the FTP regarding Dumping a Treo ROM.
Will search buzz's site but if I can't find anything there and nobody can tell how to dump, I will upgrade without a previous dump.
upgrade succeeded

Hi all,
Just bought myself a HTC Diamond on Orange yesterday, and have been browsing the forum to see what I can do in terms of customisation and other features of the phone.
The problem I'm having is that, after registering for HTC-UK's E-Club, I'm unable to find the Diamond on the Support page
[ http://www.htc.com/uk/Support.aspx ]
If I go to the HTC Europe Support page, the phone is there, but it says the ROM upgrade is not available for my phone after I enter my serial number.
The phone I have is not modified in anyway - by which I mean that Orange have seemingly kept the original HTC stuff on it...anyone have any idea as to how I can upgrade please?
Thanks.
Actually it worked in my friends HTC which we both bought from same place but when he entered his serial number in the eurpoe's htc site his S/N was recognised as dutch phone and he was able to download the copy of the ROM .
I think its just wait and watch game for UK rom to release
I dont know if u hae any idea about if i install this dutch rom and i have a problem am i unable to get my normal orange rom by doing hard reset ???
you can't upgarde a operator ROM whit the official HTC ROM.
For system updates you have to ask your operator, in that case Orange.
