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.
Hello everyone..some days ago i decided to upgrade my herald with pdaviet wm6 and i bricked my phone(WHITE SCREEN)..so after some hours i found the solution..it wasnt that hard for me becausei have Wwe so i can find easy my official Ruu.
So i would like to help the people that bricked their phones and have wwe ruu version to unbrick their phones...
First You have to download the ruu version from here:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Herald_Upgrades
second you have to press (while you see white screen with the htc logo) the camera button+soft reset button then leave the soft reset button and keep pressing the camera button untill the tri-colored screen apeear
third you have to connect your herald with usb on your pc and you will see down left on yours herald screen the word USB
The last thing you have to do is to run the RUU From your PC
Thats all and BTW if you try to install PDAVIET in your herald format your SD card first
Enjoy
Thank you!
But the real bricked one in this forum are those without WWE language!
Chris
Why would you want to format your SD card? Just make sure it's got space for the os.nb file and you'll be alright.
This method will btw not work on vendor ID locked phones, aswell as phones where the bootloader is trashed.
well mate i have 2gb sd and i had 1.5 gb free when i tryed install wm6 and bricked my device after that i formated my sd and everything went ok..
That's like asking a guy that drinks orange juice if he's got cancer. If he says no, juice prevents cancer!
lol mate
I was mistakenly copy the wrong rom into the SD card and run the cheetah unlocker - it starts to flash the rom. After that the TREO750 is dead and soft & hard reset will not help.
I can only go into the bootloader with 3 color screen. Pressing PTT and reset button.
Anything i can do to make this TREO750 work again ?

If you can access the tri-color bootloader screen, then your Treo 750 is NOT dead.
The ROM is bad or wiped but the bootloader is good...that is sufficient for you to flash a good ROM & get it up & running.
What do you see on the bootloader screen?
Which ROM did you copy into the mini-SD card?
You could copy the .nbh file from the original WM6 ROM Upgrade package & change it to CHEEIMG.nbh into a freshly formatted (FAT32) mini-SD card & flash using the mini-SD card method.
thanks konker. I finally figure out the way to flash it with original ROM.

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem and I need urgent help please. I have ATT 750 unlocked and I'm outside the States now. My Treo was 6.0 then I upgrade it to 6.1 so far so good.
Then I saw a custom rom that I thought it was interesting. the custom rom was for HTC Dimond I think. without paying too much attention. I started the upgrade. It went 70% before the upgrade crashed.
Now my Treo is not responding to anything. I have the original ATT 6.0 SD upgrade and I have the 6.1 lite upgrade. I'm using CheetahUnlocker to flash the SPL (that is working) but when I try to install the 6.0 or 6.1 using Kaiser Custom RUU v1 it crash.
I saw the post above that suggest to place the original 6.0 on a freshly formated SD and install from there. that is not working either. when I try to install the software it goes into these steps before it crashes: btw, I have the tri-color bar and it has the following info:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
SPL-1.40.01iNex
while update in progress i see the following:
CHEEIMG.nbh
SPLASH1 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - Fail
OS -
After the crash I get this msg: "Update Terminate Update Failed"
Any suggestion please? need more info? then let me know
Thanks in advance

Hello Sam,
I actually had the same problem, did you get it fixed?
Please let me know, how?
Thanks a lot
Same problem here
In the 3 colored screen just displays this.
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20

SPL-0.21.0000
When i insert the freshly Fat32 formatted SD card with the rom , apears "loading" for about 2 seconds and then just ends with the tricolored display.
Thanks for any advice.

You need to run Hard SPL first before flashing any ROM.
Your display would look like safisam's if you had run Hard SPL. (SPL-1.40.01iNex)

Have you tried re-downloading the ROM in case you have a bad file? Also, have you tried a different SD card, or re-formatting the SD card you are using? Sometimes that will help, and make sure the CHEIMG file is the only file on the SD card.

First of all, please indicate which ROM you loaded on your device.
Secondly, it would help the community to help you if you could state what software modifications you've performed on the phone. eg. HardSPL etc
Lastly, a list of installed software on your phone would be useful too.

From your description, it seems both of them are original stock ROM. Is your Treo a telco branded model or a unbranded unlocked model?
If the latter, you did not have to run the other utilities to unlock the phone...just flash the ROM.
I see that you ran the ExtROM unlocker...why did you have to do that?
The ExtROM is used to store device specific ROM customization that you should not have to bother too much if your ROM is a unbranded ROM (ie. not AT&T ROM etc).
If you left the ExtROM in it's unhidden state, that could be why the system is reporting the amount of free space to be so low. You should hide the ExtROM & then hard-reset the device again to see if that solves the problem.

Hi I have
HTC Himalaya PH10A
[CE OS 5.2.23001 (Build 23001.5.0.60)]
and I want to upgrade my radio v1.06.01
I downloaded two radio versions v1.17 and v1.19
i read that v1.17 is most stable version,
and v1.19 has a flight mode issue but it is the latest version
I dont use flight mode so I would like to upgrade to v1.19
but my connector is broken so i can only use SD card
so my question is how to upgrade new radio with SD card on my himalaya
i cant find this anywhere i used search and nothing, or im searching wrong
pliz help!
1.17 is better anyway.
ok then ill use 1.17
but i didnt get an answer how to upgrade new radio with SD card
i think it's no so easy to upgrade your hima from sd, you need to have a sdcard backup for have some information and the only way for do a sdcard backup it's to have your connector.
i think it's better to solder your connector on your motherboard.
i already done the rom upgrade with sd card, friend has the same himalaya and we did it with his!
but is it the same process for radio rom install with sd card??

Don't know it exactly, it should be the same. Can you wait about 2 or 3 weeks.
I'll disassemble the old one of aeroflyluby and use the spare parts. Are you able to solder a new used connector or is the mainboard damaged?
i think its not damaged, idiot in some mobile service soldered only 2 pins just for charging but usb doesent work, i dont even have a usb cable or a cradle so i find out few months later at my friends place, i seen this when i opened my himalaya the guy didnt even tell me that he done that
but i cant solder small pins like that, even he couldnt do it i think!
i would like to update my radio cause sometimes i cant get normal connection in places where is normal signal, and for the battery life cause my battery lasts on only one day if i use it a little
Did you test this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596798
Underclocking when the phone isn't used works fine. You don't have to overclock, if you don't want to! Just set max speed to 400mHz.
So, it is a new connector badly mounted to your device? There should be a workaround to fix it, maybe someone else knows to fix that easyly !?!

***IMPORTANT***
Please make sure you have HardSPL on your device. And also make sure you have more than 50% of battery left or you can plug in a charger just to make sure there is no power failure. I am not sure if SIM unlocked is necessary prior to performing these steps, so hopefully someone (maybe pof) can help me with this. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1. Get a 128MB MicroSD card (or whatever size you like) and format it (***please make sure you format it, but not just delete all contents on it) NOTE : Make sure you format it FAT32
2. find the Radio image you would like to use, normally named RUU_Signed.nbh, and rename it to "KAISIMG.nbh" [i think this part is not for hima, its Radio_.nbf]
3. Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Power and Camera buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears. (taken from Wiki)
4. You will first see a tri-color screen then the information on the card. Press power button to start flashing.
5. After all these are done, press the reset button located at the bottom of the phone to reset the device.

Hello guys,
now i have got a hd7 windows phone flashed with a custom ROM. (deep shining i think ...)
After the official mango update i had the first reset. The HTC-screen freezed and i couldnt do anything, so i reset my device. After that i installed a custom rom on my phone. Until now there are 8 months since the first reset and 5 hard resets. The resets werent made by me, the phone resets himself. So can you help me please ?? What can i do to stop this ?
I've already asked this in a german forum and they answered that the issue is my mini sd card ! So i tryed to change it today. I've did it but the phone didnt recongnized my new card. So i put the old card back. I looked at my new card and it was only a simple MINI SD CARD 2GB. The card of the device is MINI SD CARD HC 16GB. So my second question is, does only a mini sd HC card fit into the HD7 ?
