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.
Pardon my ignorance but I am confused with so much technical info here. Loads of ROMs , radio roms, RUU, SSPL, NBH .... etc etc etc.
I have got HTC P3600, original, unlocked to any network, bought in UK from expansys. So not sure whether it got CID lock or not but certainly not locked to any network / no sim lock.
I want to know:
1. Which is the latest GPS enabled ROM available TODAY, which I can use to flash my device ? (where language remains English!! and bass or other bugs solved, if possible)
2. Is there a way to find out before flashing that whether device is CID locked or not? and whether it needs to be unlocked before flashing.
3. How to flash ROM ? Kindly, I need step by step guidance from A to Z.
Which files to download, which to execute first and basically everything you need to do in order to flash gps enabled rom.
I will be much obliged for this help and guidance.
Thanks.

Hello ausdim and everyone else,
I've also got an HTC P3600 and I bought mine from a shop and it came SIM unlocked. Do you think my P3600 is CID unlocked? and this rom http://rapidshare.com/files/21139137... p.exe%7C which you have suggested dr_s to download, what is it? Is it an HTC Rom?
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
i'm really confused on the roms
ok, here's are my simple questions
1. is the ROM RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11_Ship.exe and official ROM (e.g., is it a test ROM from HTC)?
2. I have an unlocked P3600; do i need to CID unlock to flash with the RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11_Ship.exe ROM.
4. i understand that the rom
LVSW_RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11 is a cooked ROM. Yes or No? What are the benefits of using this ROM.
thanks to anyone who answers my questions. i've flashed ROMS before and [like others] i don't want to brick my lovely device.

I believe that this is the same ROM as the "ship" version you asked about.
I have tried both the Dopod ROM as well as the "ship" ROM, and my preference was to stay with the Dopod ROM. The green dialer skin did not apeal to me, and I had some other issues that I don't remeber at this time. The official Dopod ROM, however, (especially after being patched with Pof's radio update), has been great!
Swisscom branded Trinity has GPS and tomtom preinstalled...
May be I am late to update this..
For some days I am not following this forum but just got an update from a shop locally here and thought of adding my information.
Trinity
link here : http://www.swisscom.com/onlineshop/...andys&opn=O&sku=000000000000121030&lang=en-GB
swisscom Mobile Assistant XPA v1510
+ 1GB card
+ tomtom 6 alpine maps included user will only need to activate the maps.
At attractive price of CHF 999.
Looking at history of Swisscom devices, they are not locked. However, since all have unlok solution availbale, this will not matter.
I hope this helps trinity community..
just not note : I do not own this else I would have loved help others.

Yes all true, a friend of mine just bought this package on a 2 year contract for CHF560. Now that is a good deal! His is not getting 3G...yet. I'm sure we'll be able to turn it on with a reg hack.
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.

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 have a major problem right now.
i wanted to get co0kies home tab on my TP2
but i think that something screwed up..
i followed this tutorial for manila / sense 2.5
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=108707
i did everything it told me to.
exact the way it told me.
after installing sense 2.5.2012.cab i've got this problem..
the language changed to english ( was on dutch )
and now i have this..
everything is wrote in capslock, and has IDS_ infront of it.
example: IDS_INTERNET, IDS_MUSIC_LIBARY, IDS_TWITTER, IDS_SETTINGS
etc etc
how do i fix this?
please help me fast!

i have the standart ROM, Did not flash it ! ( NO HARD-SPL OR W/E IT MEANS )
If i have to Flash it ( HARD-SPL ) Please help me with it, Even with the tutorial i can't do it on my own.
im so afraid right now!
//edit3
i've turned off HTC Sense, and turned on the normal WM GUI, Very simple but works without problems, so i think that i'ts the Sense that isn't working correct..
Maybe there's a way to sort things out on your phone right now, but I think it would be a lot simpler if you flashed a ROM that already had Sense 2.5 and Cookie baked into it. There are plenty of ROMs here that should do that for you, though of course you would need HardSPL first.
The sticky postings about HardSPL and how to flash ROMs are very detailed and explain things well. But if you have further questions on those then you can ask in those threads.
Someone else might come along and tell you how you can fix your Sense 2.5 right now, but that's beyone what I can do myself.
Thank you for your post, i will upgrade my phone to 2.5 with the ROM from HTC.com
Because i have a unlocked phone i can just download this, lol..
after that i might HardSPL.
thanks!

That doesn't have anything to do with whether your phone is unlocked though, you may well find it doesn't work (saying "invalid vendor id", or similar).
The official HTC ROMs will only work on HTC-branded phones for that specific area/region, unless you have HardSPL.
I live in Europe,
I will download the official HTC Rom for Europe Users,
After fixed, i will try to HARDSPL.
what does it means actually?
spl
im no pro but flashing hardspl will allow "unsigned" roms to be flashed. this means roms from htc and "cooked" roms will work on you're phone.
awsome, didn't know that.!
