I have MDA III with windows Mobile 6
How can i update it to 6.1?
I called them the other day....they first said that they do not have the MDA Vario III in their product range
Once they'd accepted that they do have the MDA Vario III in their range, they stated they had no plans to provide a WM6.1 update.
To be honest, I don't really think the drone who took my call really knew what I was asking for
You can, of course, flash HardSPL then install one of the cooked 6.1 ROMs - check the links in my sig for more info.

i've come to the conclusion over the past few years, that T-Mobile are absolutely useless. they never release updates, not even from WM5-6.
Ur better off flashing a 6.1 ROM, they run a lot better anyway
If u need a hand, just PM me.
err that is not exactly correct. t-mobile released a wm6 rom for the vario II a long time ago. it can be downloaded from their website
Indeed it can:

However up until the date that it was released, T-mobile phone people and even technical support were denying that it would ever happen. One T-mobile technician I spoke to even advised me to go to xda-developers instead......

Have read quite a few threads here, but all these requests seem to be suggesting the i-mate ROM image.
Are there any legit UK T-Mob ROMs out there? I had an early UK ROM on it, but it used to crash when you recieved a call in standby mode, and BT used to come up with a trial period has ended message quite often, so I flashed it with the i-mate software.
Was wondering if there's a ROM to restore it back to T-Mob yet (but a stable version)?
TIA
There is an official T-Mobile (NL) 1.72.190 ROM out now.
If you like more add-ons maybe my (T-Mobile based) 1.72.902 ROM (which I will shortly update with the new 1.72.190 things) is something for you.
Plz search the forum for the threads.
It can be used on any of the T-Mobile networks without problem (as said by T-Mobile users in Uk and USA).
Are you referring to XDA III/PDA2K/IIs unit or XDA II? Reason I ask is because this is under the Blue Angel thread area.
there is a UK T-mobile rom for the MDA III ?????????????? Can you please tell me where I can get it? And will it work for my German Tmobile MDA III ??? (i am currently using the english pda2k rom on my german mdaIII)
THanks!

You dont visit the forums much, do you? The date on that article is Feb. 12th..
So does anyone have an idea when it is coming (rumors, etc)? The TyTN guys are up and running on WM6, I'm getting jealous here.

It is expected to be released to existing customers and pre-loaded on new devices in July/August 2007. Because Palm have made so many adjustments to make WM5 work better on the Treo, they will have to do that again and it will take some time to fully test.

Since WM6 is not very different from WM5, I think it shouldn't take long.

I would assume the same thing, but they wont release it so quickly after releasing the unlocked Treo. Plus, after speaking with reps from Palm there is still a lot of confusion amongst them all about when it will happen.
Palm Australia does not know ****
DO not expect a Palm WM6 upgrade for current Treo 750's at all
I promise you it will not happen.

I didnt mention Palm Australia. I have spoken with Pal Australia, Singapore and UK and have got a maybe from Australia and a Yes from Singapore and UK, infact Singapore has officially confirmed it in an interview with cnet interview (asia.cnet.com)
Existing Palm user WILL get an upgrade to their Treo 750/750v.
Hi. Where?
Can you post a link to the article where cnet asia reported that Palm said existing 750 owners would be upgraded to WM6?
Let's be clear: we know 750s will eventually be sold w/ WM6 loaded. I have not seen anywhere (pending cnet asia post notwithstanding) that says that existing 750s w/ WM5 will have an option to upgrade to WM6.
Any documentation would be interesting.
Thanks.

Even (!) if there would be no official upgrade, current users can install the firmware from "new" Treos with WM6.

Here is the other article i read on the subject. http://apcmag.com/5377/palm_treo_750_has_an_upgrade_up_its_sleeve i cannot find the asia Cnet one at the moment.
Palm will offer both a new Treo 750 with WM6 on it and an upgrade, i would assume for marketing purposes that they will release the Treo pre-loaded with WM6 first and then release an update to existing customers within the weeks after that. Either way, I'm sure someone smart will upload the rom for everyone
Thanks, that article is certainly encouraging. Hope to see it soon.

For those of you who may be interested in a CDMA Treo 750...i wouldnt trust this too much, yet

It is out (WM6+HS) and am testing it. I'll give you update later
Where'd you get it? If you're 'testing' it, then it's not really out. What's HS?
What??? I sense sarcasm

I'd assume it is HSPDA which is included in the Treo ROM for WM6

Great News austin_boy! Can you post some of your first impressions here?
I rang O2 today to enquire as to when a WM6 Rom would be available for my XDA IIs they said that they had no plans to release one but did say to search the net as there could well be one as there is no reason as to why the XDA IIs couldn't run WM6.
So i'm going to keep googleing but so far no joy i wish i was a good programmer lol
Well that's O2 for you. They don't have any plan of providing software upgrade to our unit, even with my atom exec. They just leave the dirty work for other developers.
They don't even have wm5 as an official update... :/
wm6 rom
i have an wm6 rom downloaded frm a torrent website but im not sure whether it is compatible with BA.
It's not. ;P

at all "newbies" here:there is NOT a WM6 for BA.
and most of us dont think that it will ever seen on our machines.
there are to many problems to port it to this device.
Is it not possible to cook a rom of WM6 using the hardware drivers from WM5 for the chipset etc of the phone?
I have no idea how to do it but i was wondering if some of the magicians out there may be able to work the old magiC?
No. It's not going to happen. We tried, we had ideas, but theres a problem with the XIP porting I believe so it isn't going to happen for us.
If it does - it WILL get posted. Don't keep asking.
http://www.ppc2you.com/vb/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=106
hey this page claims to have WM6 for all pocket pcs scroll down andf it will be listed at bottom for the BA
appologies i have downloaded and it helmis rom claiming to be WM6 !! i think damn the con artists
Also i have seen that T mobile users are being offered a WM6 ROM on their MDA III which is the BA isn't it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-309604.html
see there we go
thats an artemis lol
ah i see i thought the MDA III was a BA
Waiting for a "...maybe it will be one for us. Hopefully"

That's bull. The ROM doesn't care on your OS, you can use MacOS for all it cares. If you have flashed a 6.0 ROM before then just flash a 6.1 ROM.
Note: you will have to Flash a 6.1 compatable radio, if it isn't included in the ROM.
If you hav'nt flashed before, read the Getting Started Link in my sig.
Ta,
Dave
What 6.1 ROM are you speaking about? One of the many cooked ROMs found in this forum or the M$ official one?
the microsoft rom, i have never done a rom burn just read up on it and consider it. kinda want to let my phone be atleast a month old before i start to burn new roms.
As far as I know the M$ 6.1 ROM has not been released but just officially announced and it's up to the manufactures to release it. I could be wrong but thats how I read it.
you are looking at a page for Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 for Vista, a desktop interface...
...not Windows Mobile 6.1
Here's a really naive question - if WM 6.1 hasn't been officially announced or released (least of all for the Kaiser) where do the various cooked versions of it come from, and how does anyone know that they're definitely the full 6.1, and not just some prototype-like sample? I mean, isn't there a chance that the actual 6.1 that MS announce and HTC start releasing for phones will be different?

Thats a secret of our chefs.
You may be talking at cross-purposes but there is this posting recently on the windows mobile blog

That's what I did. I think this way is best cos when you flash you REALLY feel the speed increase
But just for clarification, as boomermax said, were you looking at Windows Mobile Device Centre? If so, this is Vista's version of ActiveSync, ActiveSync can no longer be used in Vista.

Also the e-mail I sent to AT&T asking the same question, was told that the manufacturer (HTC) would be providing a ROM update if there was one... So apparently it's still a mystery!
I'd just like to point out that theres an "official" wm6.1 rom out there that vodafone use...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058
...just incase you didnt find it before. it comes with the correct radio, and even tho its "vodafone", ive been using tmobile on it fine, so it doesnt matter if youre not using voda

I see official ROMs all over XDA!!!What makes this one any different? When I see an Official ROM from the manufacture, then I'll be happy....
but why would a company such as vodafone not use an official rom?
or are you implying that this was never from vodafone?
but yea, if micropoop pull their finger out and release wm6.1 or even wm7, that would be nice...

I'm just saying that if I goto the Manufacture or carriers web site and see the official Update, then I will be happy and believe it's official. Most of the WM6.1 ROMs in this forum have come from leaked versions or something like that. I think It's top secret!
ahhh i see what you mean...
...tho, i'd be very suprised if vodafone actually put up useful information/updates on their site
Good morning,
I am a newbie and I can't find what I am looking for. Sorry if this has been posted else where.
I own a TMOBILE - MDA VARIO III and having several issues. At present it runs Windows Mobile 6 profressional. I note from the microsoft site several of my issues have been resolved; plus it looks nice as well.
My question is;- How do I lay my hands on the update for Windows Mobile 6.1? Tmobile are useless and wont help. I can't obtain the update from Microsoft and HTC won't help as its a TMOBILE serial number.
Help.....
Hi,
You can find all the information about upgrading to 6.1 on the wiki

This has been gone over a hundred times, if in fact you had searched you, would have found it.
WM 6.1 comes from Micro$oft, Htc " writes " the roms and include 6.1 in their roms.
T-mobile requests the rom from HTC with T-Mobile specific features added. then T-mobile releases the rom to their customers.T-mobile has NOT released a WM 6.1 rom to their customers yet.
If you still want 6.1, there are many custom roms on this site that can be downloaded to your phone.
Read the wiki. Don't start redundant threads and welcome to XDA,
According to a source, T-Mobile will hopefully be releasing WinMo 6.1 on the Vario 3 in July/August to coinside with the Vario 4 release dates....
