Is there a working rom update for the t mobile wing? If so can i get pointed in the right direction
Are you new to the herald/wing? You have 45 posts, so you must have had some other device?
anyway. There is an official rom update and there are a whole bunch of custom roms.
here are the officials

and the customs are in the Herald ROM development forum. I assume you know about HardSPL and everything?

Hi guys,
Been a while since I've been on here and it would seem there has been a whole load of ROM updates since I last updated my Vario.
It was originally a UK T-Mobile ROM, I CID unlocked and SIM unlocked it and updated to the latest I-Mate ROM.
Had a look in the FTP site and theres a whole selection of ROMs to choose from!
Just wondered if some kind soul could advise which is the best ROM to update to?
According to my phone, I currently have:
ROM version 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date : 2/6/06
Radio version : 02.07.10
Protocol version : 413.1.03
ExtROM version : 2.16.9.101
Its an I-Mate ROM currently, but I don't care which ROM I put on it, as long as its the latest stable version available.
Also, is there a 'clean' version of the latest ROM? ie no crap in the extended ROM.
Do I understand correctly that as I updated the ROM from an old AKU1 ROM, the CID unlock will still be in place or do I need to do the unlock trick again by following the post regarding unlocking AKU2 ROMs?
Cheers,
Steve.
No replies??
I know it sounds a newby question, but I have read and digested a lot of the info on this site and thanks to all you guys I upgraded my ROM form the standard UK T-Mobile image to the latest I-Mate image. But this was a while ago and it would seem things have moved on and I was just after a gentle prod in the right direction.
From what I've read, it would seem Molski's image is the fastest and most stable out there at the moment. Also i now know I have a G3 phone as the IPL/SPL is 2.16.
I'm still not sure what will happen when I try to flash a new ROM. I know i SIM and CID unlocked the phone for the first ROM update, but will that CID and SIM unlock still be in place to allow the upgrade to Molskis ROM image. I would rather not have a brick, if I can help it.
Also, does anyone have an opinion on Molski's latest ROM vs I-Mates 2.16?? Is it any quicker or am I upgrading for no benefit?
If no-one replies then I will carry on reading and searching for answers to my questions and I thank you all for doing what you do on here and hopefully there will be a thread somewhere that will help me out. If I do get an answer then I thank you for helping a not-so-new newbie down the road to Wizard nirvana. :lol:
Cheers all,
Steve.
Hi mate, sorry cant answer your question,
I have a locked Tmobile MDA Vario with the latest tmobile firmware.
How do I unlock it?
and what is the best firmware to use?
I have used the search on here, but dont understand the firmware codes etc and dont want to risk flashing a wrong update.
thanks
To unlock the latest phones, from what I have read on here you need to use the latest Lockiwiz program, downgrade the ROM to a custom ROM, then CID and SIM unlock the phone, then you can upgrade to the ROM of your choice.
As for the best ROM out there, thats exactly what I'm trying to find out!!!!
ok I downloaded Lockiwiz 0.3a and it didn't give me the unlock code.
I wonder if this is because I have installed the latest tmobile firware.
anyway, it will have to stay locked for now. thanks for your help, sorry I cant help you.
for sim unlock download awizard or lokiwiz extract enablerapi.cab and copy it to your device.
then run it on the device and run lokiwiz or awizard on your pc.
worked for me
there is no need to downgrade your rom unless you have a particular situation and you just want tot do that.
anyway to upgrade your roms with cid locked phones read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848
cheers
wo hoooo!
that did it, thanks, unlocked!! yippee
Well thanks to everyone for all their kind words and help.......... :roll:
Anyway, I have upgraded my ROM to Molski's 2.26 and it is fantastic. The phone is so quick, and I haven't even overclocked it yet! Very impressive.
So a big shout out to Molski for cooking this ROM, and long may he continue making stable, fast, easy ROM executables.
And also a big shout out to everyone on here. I know I made a sarcastic comment at the beginning but I still managed to search and find everything I needed to know, it just took many, many hours of rooting through to find the answers to my questions. But without all you guys the answers wouldn't have been there anyway.
It has also propelled me into making a noobies guide to this sort of stuff, so keep your eyes open for that, all you guys that keep asking about the latest ROM and how to upgrade.
Thanks again and i will be asking some more questions soon, matbe just to see if I get any sort of reaction at all!!!
Take care peeps,
Steve.
Hi all,
Sory if this sounds too easy for some- but I've been searching the net and this forum for the latest UK TMobile ROM. Off the net some of the links don't work- same as here one of the links pointing to the latest ROM does not work -
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/RUU_Prodigy_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe
My ROM is 2.21.2.6 WWE, ROM Date 3/9/06.
Is this the latest? If not where can I get the latest? I think its 2.26.10.2 WWE?
My vario has started crashing these days especially after sending or receiving texts.
Thanks
sorry forgot to mention- I did look at the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
no one knows?
Is this too easy a question? Am I searching wrong? Even if anyone can point me in the right direction I'll be grateful!
Hey check this thread and look in G3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Thanks for that.
I did look at many of those posts earlier. I'm not trying to install another operators ROM or any cooked ones- just the 'official' T Mobile UK one, that is if they have an update to the one I already have.
I also asked T Mobile staff, but they gave me a blank look!
Try Offical AKU3.3 WWE.It's best ROM!Better than any WM5 or Wm6 ROM.(also it's WM5 ROM).
Nice one!
Will try that out!
Thanks
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:

well don't install 1.54.30.10.
once you do, theres no going back.
personally i find 1.54.07 and 1.54.01 to do the best job.
AT&T - Gainesville, FL, USA.
Ok, I have been flashing roms for a while now and something crossed my mind. Usually I get a rom from the kaiser forum because others reccommend it... The questions I have are about using roms from other companies such as a t-mobile rom on my att tilt. Is this possible/ reccommended? Is that basically what i am doing when I flash a wm6.1 rom to my device other than the ATT Tilt specific rom? Does that rom that I want to flash to my device have to be made for some variation of the HTC Kaiser / TnTyII? I hope the questions that I am asking make sense.
should work just fine...that is, you are talking about a vario III rom, right? CID unlock lets you do all that. As long as it is a variation of the kaiser...not no hermes or wizard.
I flashed a cooked ROM a few months back (Alex v.5.20) and I just checked my Tilt and I have spl-1.0. OliPof (CID unlocked it etc.) installed on my phone. Well I would now like to flash a new rom like eOS 4.888.FiRe, or HyperDragon III BlackStone.
Question is (since I forgot some of the steps) what should I do now in order to flash one of these newer roms? Do I need a new hardspl version installed?
Do I need to install the Tilts' vanilla rom first then flash or just flash over the custom rom I have installed now? Its been a few months since I poured over and spent hours on here learning the steps and I forgot some of them. Argggg!!!

Reread the tutorials that will have been updated since then to cover those cases?
And you'll see you just need to reflash the new ROM, and if it's a WM6.1 one update HardSPL to the 3.x version recommended for that new ROM.
Thanks for the reply kilrah, I was already paying my dues and reading the updates but the fact that I could just install over the Alex ROM escaped me. I thought for some reason that I had to reinstall the At&t rom again before flashing the new rom. Must of read that somewhere and I misunderstood it. Thanks for pointing a finger in the right direction.
