Would anyone plz tell me whether it's possible to downgrade the Radio stack to 1.13?
Thank you very much.

hi everybody,
do somebody know anything 'bout an new update?..
i ve heard bout a test version 2.8.x but i cannont find it anywhere. and when will be the new one released.
greets from the chiemsee
we are currently on version 2.17/2.18 FINAL (Qtek ROM). T-Mobile haven't released any new yet.
I've not looked into upgrading my ROM yet as there seem to be so many horror stories around here.
Could someone say what the main benefits of newer ROMs are (I'm using the latest UK T-Mobile factory-fitted ROM at the moment) and what the dangers of installing non T-Mobile ones are? (I've already turned off most of the T-Mobile rubbish, but I don't want to suddenly lose Text or MMS messaging, or my default GPRS internet connection, etc). And if I upgrade the ROM, can I just use something like SPB Backup to restore all my applications, messages, etc. automatically or do I need to re-install applications by hand?

The new Rom is faster, has DirectPush Support and there are a few other little things better. And in the QTek Rom is no T-Mob. branding.
The Danger (with all rom updates, not only with non T-Mob. Roms): It's possible that you damage or destroy your device. Important is that you use lokiwiz to unlock your MDA for other Roms than from T-Mob.
I recommence reinstalling the apllications by hand. yfor mails etc. you can use spb backup. (if you haven't it on your pc to resync too)
i know about the new qtek 2.18.. but here in the forum in a topic the tell about 2.8 t-mobile test rom or beta rom.. possibly a wrong number... do anybody still have this rom?.. better in german lang.. or a way to downgrade from the new qutek to t-mobile... cause i don t know if it s possible to take my baby back in "real" t-mobile-flair if there is a problem with warranty someday....
greets and thx for the fast answeres

Hello,
I'm also using a T-Mobile Vario with following device info:
ROM version 1.6.2.4 WWE
ROM date 11/15/05
Radio version 01.12.10
Protocol version 4.0.13.23
ExtROM version 1.6.2.105
But I'm not on T-Mobile network and I use 802.11g wireless instead of GPRS, so I don't care about whether or not to stick with T-Mobile ROMs.
Could anybody please advise if it's OK for me to update other, a newer and better one hopefully, on my device? If so could you please recommend the newest set of ROMs.
BTW, I'm a newbie and I don't understand what Protocol and ExtROM are, and if I should install them, and if yes where to find them? Can you please explain. Thank you.
Rgds,

Hello,
Just to update that I've upgraded my Wizard with the new Qtek ROM. It works much faster and there's now no problem with Wifi anymore.
Device Info:
ROM version: 2.17.7.2 WWE
ROM date: 2/10/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.17.7.102
Can anybody please advise what does the ExtROM do and if I can exclude it from the device? Any good in doing this? Thanks
Qtek ROM
Where can you get the Qtek ROM for MDA Vario from? I am also on UK t-mobile rom. its just too slow sometimes! but i dont want to damage the unit so which one is better Qtek to Imate KJAM rom and which version is the best one to download and where can I get them?
Thanks I know these are very silly basic questions!
Hello,
I honestly don't know which ROM is better, I just tried Qtek one because I saw it most updated. Luckily it went smoothly for me. If you've got the UK T-Mobile please make sure that you've unlocked its CID beforehand.
You can get the ROM from here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
That's the newest English version.
Hope this helps.

I'm running the T-Mobile custom rom built on 2.17 and it works very well. As long as you follow directions and not panic if thngs look as if they are going astray, you shoudl be ok. I've upgraded, downgraded and upgraded again about a dozen different times with only one time having it going south on me. I just used the bootloader method of flashing and was abale to get out of trouble. I would use aWizard to to a full rom backup before doing a flash in case you want to downgrade. Over all, I do not know whether it is necessary but I always runb the unlock before the upgrade, even if I did it already. 3 minutes of time but could save your rear end . . . just my 2 cents . . .
Can you use T-Mobile USA rom on a UK Vario (Wizard)?
Hi all,
Just wondering if you can use the T-Mobile USA rom on a UK vario?
It seems the US version (2.17) is a lot newer than the UK version (1.06)
My advice would be to use the latest QTek rom of the desired language.
Make sure you make a backup of the current extROM beforehand.
After the upgrade you can install the backupped cabs you want by hand.
This gets you the most stable situation.
On the wiki there is a brief explanation of the various files in extROM

Hi,
Could someone please post their Telstra radio rom? I would like to see if I could flash my UK HTC Touch HD and see if that will enable 3g here in the US
Thanks
Sure.
Download 1.10.25.25 / 52.57.25.30U from the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466274
Because that is all the Telstra Devices have on them.
it wont work dont need to try.
marktang, do you know why it wont' work? Is it a hardware issue? Or additional firmware is needed?
It is a hardware limitation. There are no 850/1900 MHz WCDMA amplifiers in european Touch HD.
i dont know what it is but people have tried already. you are not the first one to ask for that ROM.
i wouldn't risk it... it hasn't worked.
Telstra Rom
Hope this works first time useing rapid

Telstra Radio ROM
Hi, you can only upgrade to Telstra Radio ROM (1.10.25.25)(Down load from link in WIKI). I have up-graded Rom 1.56.405.1 (Latest version). The Telstra reception was very poor and I missed calls in side buildings.
After down-grade the Radio ROM to Telstra Radio ROM (1.10.25.25). The Telstra reception is better. I think is safer to upgrade/downgrade the Radio ROM only. You less likely to brick you phone. It appears that it only support 2G and 3G, but not nextG. You don't need nextG in major cities. If you used your phone for Internet Sharing you get 3.2 MB/S instead of 7.2 MB/S.
I have a telstra t8285 here in the US. I have upgraded it to the latest 1.14.25.24 radio and it works fine.
Hi Guys
Currently I am getting very poor 3G reception in comparison to my old Samsung Innov8. I am running Deepshing 7.0 RC prior to this I was running the official 3 rom. my device is security unlocked and my current Radio rom is 1.08.25.20
Is there a more effective radio then this for Australia? Im in Canberra...
Hi frasertag
When I upgraded to the official 2.07 rom, it came with radio 1.09.25.23.
I definately noticed an improvement in signal strength, over the previous version. I'm with Telstra though, so I'm not sure if you'll notice the same improvement, or not.
Good luck.
