T-Mobile Vario Unlocked and using Orange! Now to flash ROM?

Hi,
Thanks to the very clever people over at www.imei-check.co.uk I now have an unlocked T-Mobile Vario.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
I now wish to know if I can flash my unlocked Wizard with an Imate K-Jam2 flash?
I know there is another post on flashing the the Qtek 9100 with the K-Jam but I dont know if the T-Mobile Vario will pose any different issues or problems.
What I want to know is :-
1) Can it be done, can I flash my T-Mobile Vario with a K-Jam2 ROM?
2) How do I make a backup of my T-Mobile ROM before taking the plunge?
I am a Sony Ericsson P900 convert so please be gentle with me on your responses. I'm no expert but have got this far (Unlocked) by reading these and other forums.
If any of you can help out I would be most gratefull.
Cheers
Lee

I have (had) a Vario from T-Mobile Netherlands. I unlocked like you and ran the ROM upgrade utility for Qtek 9100, available for download on :-
http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/
It works fine. My Dutch phone now talks to me in English.... phew!

@belgilux
What are the advanges of the qtek rom over the vario ??

Niets dat ik kan bespeuren. Enkel is ding dat zijn in WWE - wereld Wijde Engels - dit is good voor mij aangezien mijn Nederlands niet zo goed is. ..

ok thanks ,
mijn nederlands is goed , dus hou hem liever in nederlands

Hey, guys, I have the same problem - I want to change the OS from a german to en english one. My device is the XDA Mini S from O2 Germany. Do I *really* need to pay for unlocking first or I can just flash it?
P.S. How did you back up the ROM before the flashing?

hello ingenious ,
as far as i know , you have to unlock it first otherwise you can't acces the bootloader.
buckup of your old rom can be done (only after unlocking).
you need the program romupdate.exe
disable activesync on usb connection
turn off phone
connect usb cable while pressing camera button
start romupdate
chooice usb connection
enter 'r2sd all' this coppies your phone rom to your sd card (sd card will be erased !!!!!)
next step is to dump the sd card to file to store.
you need ntrw.exe and sd card reader
in a dos box in a dir with ntrw enter 'ntrw read dump.nb1 drive_letter_of_reader:'
that will dump you entire sd card to file.
to restore , but it back with ntrw write .......
reset phone while holding voice an camera button and chooise restore from sd card.
good luck , arnold
p.s. i'm wrinting this out of my memory so forgive me if i have something wrong.

Hey, thanks very much
Just a thing bothers me still... If I unlock the phone (i.e. replace the boot loader) won't I just lose my warranty from O2?

mhh that doesn't worry me to much,
officiali it will only void your warrnaty if they can proof that that is the problem.
if not they can not hold it against you (in holland that is) , but you may have to 'fight' for your warranty.

I have successfully replaced the ROM on my MDA Vario with a K-Jam ROM and now I want to go back to the original ROM. Following the instructions by arnoldl earlier in this thread I created a backup dump.nb1 file and used ntrw_189.exe in a CMD window to dump this to a file. This took bloomin' ages since I have a 1GB card - very tiresome!
Anyway, I have now reversed that process to copy the dump file back to the mini-SD card but when I hard reset my Vario I do not get a prompt to restore from the SD card. I only have options to restore to original settings or cancel.
I have allowed a hard reset to complete and the mini-SD card does not even register in the Vario. Removing and reinserting does nothing. I've tried a hard reset twice and still no joy.
Assuming I have successfully created a working ROM image on my mini-SD card are there any other tips or options for restoring it to the Vario ROM?

anyone knows the keys to press for restore an image from sd card ?
I have tried all combinatiosn of keys, but nothing are working
regards

sorry , it is hold camera and voice comm button while resetting.
previes state must be on!!
grtx arnold

Thanks for that. I just realised it says hold camera and voice comm rather than comms and voice comm, like you would normally do for a hard reset.
I've tried a boot with the correct buttons and could see nothing at all on the screen. I now realise there is something but without a backlight it is nigh on impossible to see. Anyway, I spotted that too late and started button mashing to try to get the thing to spring into life. It is now staring at me with a big clear white (lit) screen that dims briefly periodically. I now have no idea what is going on and whether this is the correct behaviour or not.
How long should the reflash take? Will having a 1GB card mean it takes 8 times as long as a 128MB card as it has to read the whole thing? How do I know if this is working OK?There are no progress bars or anything - just a plain white screen.

i did say comm and voice , but i just changed that
reflash was prety fast when i did it , within a minute i thought (256mb)

Oh dear :-( Mine's been blinking at me for 15 minutes now.
I just restarted the process and I managed to see a "Format BinFS Success" message and a progress bar at the bottom which I think said "Upload OS" or something like that - too difficult to read properly in today's miserable grey daylight. But I'm now staring at the plain white screen once more.
Maybe my ROM image is fried. Any ideas how to get hold of a clean T-Mobile UK MDA Vario ROM file?
EDIT : Further info......
Bored of the blank white screen I pressed the reset button on its own. The device reset and this time with the benefit of the backlight being on I could see the Format BinFS success message, a couple of checksum checks and something about downloading ROM and extended ROM. This all took only a minute or two, which seems positive. But then I saw a message about formatting FAT (or FAT32?) and while that was being displayed the screen faded/disolved to plain white and has resumed its periodic dimming.
Unfortunately I now have HTC Innovation and imate branding all over the thing so I can't just pop it back to T-Mobile to fix it. I wish they had a full ROM upgrade/replace image in a .exe, like qtek and imate.

hello,
what means "previes state must be on!! "
i have an 512 mb card and no chance to boot the sd. Has anyone
try the qtek german bin on the xda ftp server here ? i write this
image via ntrw on my 512 mb card, press the camera and voice button and also reset, but the sd card want recognize ...
help! I want this german qtek rom on my wizard.

i only got in this mode when resetting with the buttons pressed when phone was on.
when i first shut it down and then reset it didn't work.

Having left the white screen for a couple of hours there is no sign of anything useful happening. I reset the device and now I am dumped directly to the bootloader screen - there seems to be no software on the device now.
So it appears I can only get this thing up and running again with the k-jam ROM (or presumably Qtek) by running the .exe ROM upgrade file. But for me my option to go back to native Vario software seems to have vanished forever. Maybe I'm just really unlucky but this might serve as a warning/caution for others who want to flash their Vario.

Full ROM Backup

Hi All!
I'm newbie here. Please, don't beat me for my question .
I've got Qtek 9100, and now want to play with ROM. BUT! I read a lot of here, and haven't found the Full ROM Backup programm. Is it possible? Or, the only way to backup my original ROM partly, using aWizard?
Thanks for any help.

The aWizard tools do Backup all of the rom except bootloader.
BUT: The ExtROM is backuped in single files which is a problem when you want to insert the ExtROM back into the Wizard: because with the newer ROMs (1.6.x) the ExtROM can only be made visible (and stays read-only).

full rom backup
addr You can backup full ROM to SD card, and then to your PC.
Click my signature to get the tool.

Ah, great!
That's the very thing i was looking for!
Thanks Button!

Sorry, it was a bug in my command file, so CID-unlocking was failed.
Now everything works fine. Please, re-download the tool (click my signature).

I tried using your backup for my ROM, because I was going to upgrade. I'm definitely a newbie at ROM upgrading and backing up...
After running the backup utility, my Qtek won't see my mini-sd card anymore. Do you know how I can make it see my card again? Did the process reformat my card or is there another problem?
Thanks!

the data backup in your mini-sd-card is not FAT compliant. but it's OK for restoring using Qtek's rom-flash procedure.
in another way, you can use tools like WinHex to view,edit or save your mini-SD to a PC as a raw binary file.

If you have already saved your ROM image to PC (myrom.bin file), you can format SD card, and use it as always.

Um, I have a noobie question as well...
Will a full ROM backup take a backup up of everything installed after being shipped from the manufacturer, i.e. programs, reg settings etc., or will it only backup the basic ROM and extended ROM, i.e. what you're left with when you hard reset your device?

the_invisigoth Yes, only ROM, not installed apps.

Hi Button,
Does your program backup the whole ROM (ie OS + Extended) or just the OS??
Is there a way to backup the OS only so that I can backup the latest Qtek OS part only. Reload my T-mobile extended ROM then restore the Qtek OS only ROM, giving me the latest OS with my T-mobile customisation??
Cheers

It backups Full ROM = OS+ExR+Radio+SPL/IPL+Splash..
Use aWizard to backup your ROM partly.

I needed Button's program before I updated to 2.8.7. I have a cingular 8125 I upgraded to 2.8.7 it overwrote my extended ROM, when I flashed everything back from awizard I relaized my extended ROM was not restored, so I flashed to 1.5.4 so I could access the extended ROM, but it downgraded my IPL and SPL to 1.?? from 2.??. So once I restored my extended ROM in 1.5.4 I upgraded just the OS to 1.8.11 from my original backup, and now when I do a hardreset it locks up during extended ROM installation. Unless I can find a way to edit the extended ROM on 2.8.7 I wont be able to restore my unit to original specs. Unless someone uses Buttons program on a Cingular 8125 and uploads it somewhere for me. I am gonna return this unit to frys and purchase it at the cingular store for a bit cheaper price. So I was hoping to restore it to orignal specs so the next helpless frys customer dosent get stuck wth a funky unit. Thanks all!

@Button,
would this method allow me to replace my 8125 to its original state including the bootloader flash screen ? i am needing to put my 8125 to its original state prior to returning.
I have a new 8125 that i could take a backup of and want to load it onto the one that i am returning. would this work ? thank you

Yes it should work.

Button,
does your program also perform restoral of ROM and all its content from the backup it's made ?
thanks for your help.

It can backup only 'clear' ROM, without programms that you have installed manually.

THANK YOU BUTTON !!!!
I was able to FULLY RESTORE my Cingular 8125 to its OEM Spec including the first boot splash screen !!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!

I spoke too soon.
Here's what happens...
After 8125 has been booted up, on the screen it says, "Data Crashes. Please contact your service Provider". And if you see on the top left corner, it says SIM LOCK. It will not let me reload the image again from the SD card from the bootloader. When I press the Voice Dial, it says, No Update Allow!.
I've tried to run the aWizard and Lokitz tool to unlock again but to no avail.
Have you seen thsi before ?

First, try to flash an old rom (from bootloader mode), - run any ruu. Then, unlock SIM and CID, if it is need. And then use SD card to restore your original rom.

Mda II Compact boot failture!

Hello gays!
I hav a problem with my Mda.
In my mda was windows 05 and i want to upgrade to 06
And im download rom from thiece site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305125
And i Upgrade rom thiece method :
ANOTHER FLASH METHOD :
If you have the chinese WM6 rom, downgrade to some WM5 with official RUU, then:
download this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/29098553...fixed.zip.html
Once you unpack it, please put the nk.nbf (charmer wm6) into the Shelltool folder. Open shelltool.exe. Click Get Rom info, then click Extract OS. Wait until its finished and you'll receive a file called 8004000-OS.nb (save it for later).
Download the xbeta Chinese WM6 rom : http://rapidshare.com/files/27671349...eta.exe. html
Extract it and put that 8004000.OS you saved before in the XBETA directory. In the itsutils folder of xbeta rom you will find enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab. Copy them to your device, install them on Device Memory, then soft reset.
run xbeta.cmd and choose the 8004000OS.nb file to flash (you should be connected with AS and have your radio module turned off).
When the screen goes green and the flashing is finished make a HARD RESET!. Press Camera and Voice Dail buttons (hold them). Put and hold the stylus in reset button for 2 seconds. Release it. Wait until you see some white fonts on black screen. Then release those 2 buttons. Push the green dial button.
I choose thiece method becouse the first method in the rom subject doesnt work.
But after im instal new rom i have Era rom and when im complete upgrading to wm6 the phone is restart and im see era splash screen and its strange for me :/
So the problem is it is in startup screen showin Era splash screen and he STOP! i tried to hard reset but it gives fat partition error.
Please HElp me!

sounds like your device is CID locked at the time you flash it.. which gives you the same splash screen. However, the fat partition error (I presume it said format fail), is a big problem that AFAIK, it has no solution.
What you can do (at least) now is to put your phone in to bootloader mode and flash it (check the wiki, I think there is a section on this).

I turn on boot loader and i upgrade to another rom Era name and still thiece same Can you give me link with rom ?? to my phone ? Yes i dont unlock the cid

http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html

Now i download my Net is so slowly :d when im download and upgrade i write and good luck to me ;]

Rom t mobile Doesnt work. Other minds?? But the splash screen is T mobile ;]
ipl 2. 06
spl 2.06. 0000
gsm 02.19.21
os 2.6.2.27
meybe Rescue Rom like i wizard ?? do you now where i can find it??

the splash screen indicated that it has already flashed, but, as I've mentioned above, the partition failure are more complicated than that and may not be fixable yourself. I can't help anymore now, you can try to find some other solution. Good luck.

How to unlock cid ?? can you tell me what i hawe g 3 or g 4

at the top section of this screen, there is this "XDA-Wiki", go in to the 'Wizard' section. G3 G4 CID unlock info is there.

""Splash screen freezing -> SOLUTION !!! DIY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn... I walked around and around and solution was all near me and able to do it myself...
Ok here´s how I done it.
First, I must explain what was the problem.
After update the firmware (not actually upgrade, I had the phone full of trash, so I decided to reflash same firmware v2.18 PTG), the Qtek 9100 / HTC Wizard freezed at 2nd splash screen (the one that shows OS versions IPL version, ect). Tried many different versions, upgraded to 2.24, 2.25, downgraded even to 1.6.7.3, but always same problem, freezed on second splash screen. I read many topics on xda-dev, and seen some people with same problem. Apparently there was 2 solutions. 1- send phone back to warranty. 2- write backup ROM from SD in bootloader.
Passed more then 15 hours asking for this SD backup everywhere, and COULDN´T find any help. Apparently no one had this "SD dump ROM Backup".
So here´s how I solved my problem
1- I tought that a SD backup was needed, and yes it is. But u can use your own phone and your own SD to do it.
2- Get a clean SD card (in qtek 9100 / Htc Wizard case is MiniSD) with 128MB (some people say 64MB, but I personally used a 128MB, maybe a 64MB is enough)
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.
4- Get your phone in bootloader mode. Like this : Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter in bootloader mode (RGB screen).
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
6- Type "r2sd all" and hit enter... wait to the end (at end shows "cmd>"). On your phone screen u can follow backup progress... small bar will appear down the RGB screen.
7- Power off the phone (or remove battery), enter bootloader mode (camera button + power on) and this time RGB won´t appear right away. Will ask if u want to "download SD image", press voice dial button to agree, and writting will begin. Wait to the end. Power off and power on normally. Now your phone should be working ok. Not even needed to reflash the phone after this.
Thanks to all and hope this helps more people with this problem""

Format Is Failed (!?)
Hi. I know that the focus is now on the new ROM, but I am having a problem with my MDA Compact II after following the alternative flashing method. Original details:
IPL 1.12, SPL 1.12.0000, GSM 01.11.20, OS 1.12.2.23
All seemed to go ok, following step by step as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39129&d=1179243687 and I got to the end step with ‘Congratulations’. I had no error messages. However upon hard reset I got the message: FORMAT FAT PARTITION, FORMAT IS FAILED (oops!)
The screen then showed the same details as before, but with OS now 10.2.0.8.
I’ve done some searching on the Forums & tried restoring the phone via bootloader using both “MDAc2_ROM_Johnnnnnnnnnny_v1.0” (stalls at 99%) and “RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship” (this completes 100% & reverts the OS to 1.12.2.23, but I get the same FORMAT IS FAILED message).
Any further suggestions how I can revert to the original state, or update to WM6?
(My wife has an MDA II as well – I’ve checked my battery in her phone & it is fully charged).
PS Ignore the details at the bottom - I also have an MDA COMPACT (I)

Chameleon846: if you read carefully, you would know that you need at least bootloader in ver. 2.x to flash WM6. And seeing you have 1.x, no wonder it didnt flash poperly. GO find an official HTC Prophet rom and flash it with RUU. It will help.

no problem with this, this happen time after time on every ppc, it's random flashing error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307332
please, read forums before asking, this was mentioned many times...

vlodeck, thanks. A little knowledge... I stupidly missed the 2.x bit...
I've tried the RUU method with an official ROM. It completes all 100%, but will not go any further. I've seen bits about a restore from an SD card, but can't find the exact method (copying the nk.nbf file to SD & running bootloader doesn't do anything. If I manage to sort this am I able to upgrade the bootloader to 2.x?
Thanks.

Chameleon: not charmer official ROM. Prophet ROM!

To Flash a ROM you'll most likley need Hard SPL
Follow the "Getting Started" Link in my Sig.
If you cannot get WM to boot, you'll need to re-flash your orginal carriers ROM.

You shouldn't be using cmonex's SD method the first time round. It is for upgrading only.
I have downloaded the package from point 2 (you should follow the USB method in post 3, NOT the SD set) and have upload it onto my site, please let me know when you are done with it.

Yeah, you need the ROM your carrier supplied.
Where is the Phone from?
Does a Hard Reset help?

woo hoo, yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the kaiser lives. back to standard 6.0 rom. cheers, i owe you a beer (or 2) if you are ever in abu dhabi, let me know ;-)
i can reload all from sprite backup (only from yesterday) to get me going again
but..... next will try to replace spl and then load 6.1. not sure why HTC standard would not let me update, i thought the ruu would update any htc phone
HardSPL 3.29 is first (yes?) then will try Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2 which sounds good. one more thing, my phone is not locked so do i need to do the 'SIM and CID-Unlock'

That's right, flash the HardSPL 3.29 first (SIM unlock is optional, CID unlock isn't needed - Hard SPL takes care of that - but it comes as part of the SIM unlock) then flash a WM6.1 ROM.

Only if it's from the same region the RUU was intended for eg the European TyTN II's won't accept the latest Hong Kong WWE ROM by default because of this so as already suggested hardSPL works around this. My WM 6.0 UK original TyTN II upgraded to WM 6.1 OK but that was using the HTC UK provided ROM update. That updated everything required including the SPL and Radio to the required HTC versions. I'm back on the original WM 6.0 version though due to reliability issues with 6.1 and poor GPS performance.

Dopod C800 ROM issues

Hi all,
Silly me, dont know what happen. It used to be dopod c800 with WM5. Updated the rom to WM6 and become P4350.After a while, very eager to put WM6.1 but i flashed with Elfin's Toch Flo ROM. I also not sure whether i have hardspl it or not. Check into bootloader my IPL 4.17.0001 and SPL 4.17.0000.
Now i am stuck, as it cannot turn onto hardspl (if not yet) cannot turn on to remove hardspl (if alredy spl). Already try RUU many roms but failed. Pls help me.

Well if you managed to actually flash an Elfin ROM, your device is most definately bricked completely. Thats a ROM for a completely different device that is 100% not compatible with the Herald.

really? i've try to flash original dopod C800 RUU via SD card (rename .nbh to heraimg.nbh) but update fail. Also try to make a gold card using other mobile http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417930 but stuck when other mobile security's locked. try to unlock security using Device Security Manager PowerToy for Windows Mobile 5.0 but that craps cannot detect the phone.
What to do now? throw it away?

lucky me!
Manage to power up and then LIVE as usual.
Nope! they not bricked completely!

well tell us how u did it.....

what i did: (tq to poppamops)
1. Find working HTC
2. 512mb SD card
3. QMAT software (google and install it)
4. Insert ypur sd in working HTC then run QMAT. You should see "create goldcard" in one of the tab.
5. After that, flash it to your "dead" htc via storage card. That's all. TQ
