Firstly flash the phone by Hardspl- ing it, this allows you to install non certified roms onto it
secondly download and install energyrom ensuring you hae a fully charged battery
works a breeze

T mobile Phone Settings Missing

Does anyone know why I'm not able to see the phone settings on my MDA Vario?
I'm currently using the new T Mobile ROM 2.6 . I tried to reinstall it but its the same. Do you think is the new ROM version? I didn't have this problem using older versions
Please help!
i can't believe none of you guys who are sou posed to be great programmers do not know anything about my problem thanks for nothing
u can try to reflash your rom to see if there a problem with the rom. if you still have the same problem. You should try a different rom.
re
i have tried all that Roms available but still the same
you can jump off a building and i think you'll find your solution there......somewhere between your small intestine and the tip of your anus...be careful though your head might be in the way...so just push it aside.
Remember follow these directions carefully because if you won't then us "thankless no good for anything great programmers" won't be able to help you further...
But seriously.....what are you looking for exactly?

Help flashing a Prototype X1 please....

Hi guys,
I have in my possession a review sample of the X1i. Seems that the hardware is intact but the software is very old
R1AA013
R13A
Generic_UK
Rom 1.01.931.14
Radio 1.05.25.15
The SE update service says there is no update for the phone, but I know R20A is out and much newer roms are also out.
I have a Touch Pro and have flashed many HTC phones before.
Is it just a matter of Hardspl and then finding a UK rom and radio somewhere.
I have checked the Wiki but there only seems to be one rom there and it does not say what it is. Can anyone please point me in the right direction for an up to date UK rom please. (really liking the panels)
if you hardspl then the seus may work, but theres several roms on this section of the forum that id use instead..
Thanks for the tip, I will try SEUS with Hardspl.
I have been looking at the roms on the forum and they all seem to be hacked with HTC Manila on them. What if I just want the latest SE panels and rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448911 is a clean ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445818 1.04 is the final release of another clean ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446245 is probably what you're after; custom ROM with performance tweaks, added apps and includes panels

Hi, sorry for resurrecting such an old topic, but churchwa did you have any success in flashing your phone? I am in a similar situation and would like not to brick what I got.

I have a prototype X1 too, I have flashed it a dozen times (mostly testing ROMs for the ROM LIBRARY) Zero problems. Advantage: protos are security nlocked
LINK TO THREAD HERE​
Really? Thats great. I'm running the same firmware as OP, and while it will make me sad to loose everything to start fresh (just got tomtom working ) maybe I will try this out soon. A performance boost would be nice.
Usually with SE stuff the proto IMEI (004...) throws a serious red flag, among other things. Great to know I can update it. Now if only the hardware were in better shape...
Edit: One last question to gtrab or whoever may help. My main interest would be to load the latest official NAM firmware out there, doing so wouldn't lock it or anything would it? Official as in un-touched, not network (Att or Tmo) related. If I were looking to do something unofficial, what would be the best way to go? Perhaps I should read up a bit first.
But thats when you have normal non-pda se phones,
there os works differently.
You have FW, EEProm, Erom and gdfs (i think)
proto's have normally got brown FW and erom so they need brown loaders instead of red (retail) to get flashed properly.
As this phone works completely different there is (almost) no difference between proto and ratail ones.

Mary One is a custom ROM it can only be removed by re flashing with another ROM
if you want Windows 6.1 you could flash the original ROM (which you may be able to get from HTC or search within this forum)
Or i strongly recommend Duttys ROMS
if you want Windows 6.5 then there are several good ones out there Miri's are great i am currently on NRG Pheonix its superb.
search this Forum for guides to ROM flashing...its not too difficult it you follow the instructions carefully but you have to be aware of the risks (which are described in the tutorials)
cheers and good luck
thanks all . I'm assuming all I need is the new rom since my boot says 156oli nex. in which which one is most like the old htc orange rom ?

You need to do search my friend. Whatever your question is, try to search and you will find the answer.
In your case, if you like to flash your device to windows 6.5, you'll first need to do HardSPL. You can find the "how to" in this thread and this thread.
Then, you can choose and download any ROM you like. There are plenty of choices.
Just follow the instruction to flash the ROM....I think every instruction is clearly enough to understand.
I did search and i downloaded the hardSPL program but I didnt use it because it was going to download an older rom than the one i have right now.
How do you guys know which ROM to use? I just want the latest one.

that's your decision you got a huge variety of ROM in the forum from different chefs... so check out, read and see what is better for you and your phone... GL !
I guess ill do a mini mini mani mo and pick one. thanks!
Oh one more question, so why is the Hard SPL trying to revert my current rom to an old one. Is that what I have to do?

before flash any custom ROM you have to do hard-spl JUST ONCE THOUGH, have fun
hey!
1. you got the latest update for your ROM from SE. that means you are on a "official ROM" or "stock" ROM.
it's suppose to be running on windows mobile 6.1.
2. there is NO "official" 6.5 ROM for the X1 (yet)
3. when you see ROMs saying they are running on 6.5 they are called "custom" ROMs.
custom roms, as the word suggests, are customized by great chefs here on xda to maximize the capabilities of X1 and windows mobile,
that includes the latest updates either from SE or windows (or HTC)
4. there are also 6.1 custom roms
5. the date any custom rom is released suggests it is the latest.
6. there are different "cooks" who may release the same build/update
my suggestion:
try each rom one at a time. sooner or later you'll find one that will suit your taste.
(i think this is the norm here on xda ). and imho, this is how it should be.
if you want the latest agent_47 will not fail you. he's almost always has the latest updates.
if you want a simple & stable rom go for jack's. (with multi-language support)
for pure X1 & wm, look for spikegotti's rom or gtrab's
later you can try itje's, rotastrain's, killer8nl's, etc which are all great.
i hope that clears your confusion. enjoy!
be sure to hard-spl first.
aww you guys are so helpful. thanks im sorry but i will be sending you a PM if i need help. lol

Help Please, Whats the best stable fast ROM out there!?

hello i am sort of a noob on flashing phones, i just got my T-MOBILE Touch Pro 2, im very pleased with it, i downloaded the EURO WM 6.5 and..3G wouldnt work..and my keyboard mapping was wrong, i switched back to TMO Stock ROM, now i am look for the best stable fast running fun ROM,
ive seen many impressive ROMS outhere, but again im a noob, iam looking for a ROM that supports TMO 3G as in CoralSprings FL i have full 3G signal, please i would really appriciate your help, thanks in advance..
It all depends on what you install and what you use your phone way. Best way to find out is to read ROM threads, and flash and enjoy. Just make sure you have HardSPL before you flash custom ROM.
Mate I'm a complete noob as well.....
You just posted the same thread two days ago.
People posted help there.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572868&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
now go here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550559&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
It has all the T-mobile keyboard fixes.
Now you can use any ROM you like.
Don't ask people for the "best" or "most stable" ROM. Cause nobody knows what "the best" or "most stable ROM" is. It will depend on your own personal taste and situation. Give 'em a try and find something you like.
Oh and finally. I started on the Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. Had never used a WINMO phone before, never flashed, applied a cab, or anything. Although I've managed to do all of the above with a bit or "searching" and reading of this forum. Use the "Search" tool, it's excellent. And only ask a question if you've searched and searched and searched and still can't find the answer.
Best of luck
HDSPL then flash them all and you will find one that fits for you.
ikno guys, i already hardspl, but idont want to keep flashing and flashing, but yea isee what you guys mean, im downloading the energy rom, looks pretty cool,and alot support for TMO users,
thanks for ur response.

No problem, that's the way to start and that's how we all started.
ooo yeah i had 4gten bout that post, sorry,
so i also read that the 3G depends on ur radio, can u guys help with that? please,
I haven't heard about that because my 3G worked right out the box with stock radio.
But I have the latest HTC and it seems to be working real well. Also read positive posts about it so give it a try.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4360836&postcount=2
BTW, their is NO WAY to return back to the stock radio once you flashed a new radio. UNTIL someone finds a way to release it to us.
wel mine too, but when i had the custom rom, it didnt work.
Please find your own ROM, today's best might nott be tomorrows best, and you might not like what someone else likes.
