Hi all,
I wanted to know if the update for the MDA Vario III ROM is correct on this site? if so has anyone downloaded the ROM update from this site and tried it out for themselves? {link is given below}
I would test it out for myself, but my PC has a million problems...so a lack of confidence and fear of third party window applications interference prevents me from testing it out :S but if someone has done this update, could please let me know if it is ok?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that you can just go to htc.com and get the proper update.
yeah that was my first step, but it's not for the MDA VARIO III...It's only for HTC TYTN II model...on the HTC site itself it requires you put in the S/N of the handset before you can download...done that and it says its not for the device MDA VARIO III :S
Thanks for the reply.
Contact your mobile operator for official updates...
But I've seen this page before. It is linked on t-mobile so it should be the correct page

Perhaps a weird question from a newbie - but please bear with me.
I purchased a O2 branded HTC (the O2 Xda IIs). The devices is unlocked and I can use any SIM card in it.
How do I "remove" the O2 customisations from this device? When a hard reset is performed a number of apps and settings (esp setings) are made which I find very annoying. For example, wireless connection is a mission. IE only want to connect via a UK dialup number etc.
Basically I'd like to get this thing to have a default WM2003SE installation, sans the provider's stuff. Is this possible, and if so, how?
Thanks

Are there differences 'bout buttons or something else?...
greets

Don't think there's a great deal of difference between them. I'm happy with my VarioIII
Aye and me, my Vario 3 has been sound since I got it.

Mine is even faster at "Active Sync" since I removed the A/V.
I found active sync wouldnt always sync. So I hard reset, reloaded apps and it still occured occasionally. After a 2nd hard reset, I could not activate the A/V (it kept activating then after each power on saying it wasnt activated, I'd re-activate it, and after power up it wasnt activated), so I removed it. Lo and behold, the active sync issues have disappeared.
I checked the F-Secure website (very little support there) and the only WM6 device they list is the HTC touch.
what's the software difference..
ist there a big branding (grey-pink and so on..) like on vario 2 on it?...
The only difference is the branding I believe, the Vario 3 has the T-Mobile stuff on it, such as Web n Walk instead of IE and T-Mobile branded on it... They are the same machine inside and you can always put whatever ROM you want on it to debrand the software!

Use one of the attached cabs to identify your phone as an N95. Personally I use it for Vodafone Live access, but I'm told it also works for those on "Planet 3".
You can install and uninstall the cab to switch between N95 and TyTN II as required, but a soft reset is needed after installation.
It uses a modified "browser.dll" file, which is different for WM6 and WM6.1 so make sure you install the correct one...!
Iv installed the cab, although i dont understand what you mean with switching between n95 etc. I cant find any program or application that has been installed by doing cab installation that you suggested?! Cheers
It doesn't install any program. It changes the way your phone reports itself to websites. In this case the website will think you are holding a n95 which is one of their "approved! phones so it should just work. Try using IE to go back to the planet 3 page and see what happens with the cab installed.
Yeah, sorry. I wasn't very clear.
If this is installed then the website you are visiting thinks you are holding an N95.
If it is not installed, then the same website will think you are holding a TyTN II.
By installing / removing / installing / removing, etc. You can "switch" between an N95 and a TyTN II
I see what you mean now about switching. Installed and tested and it works really well thanks the difference between 3 HSDPA and T-Mobile HSDPA is amazing dont know what T-Mobile are playing at its so slow!
Glad it's working!
Hi.How did you unlocked your mda vario 3? 'cos ive got the same aswell and i will like to use it for 3 network.Cheers

you do know that t-mobile and 3 now share HSDPA networks so technically there is NO difference
Sub69!!
You are my hero. I have been searching for months to find a 3UK cab that would let me use Windows Live Messenger while I had the 3UK sim card in my Kaiser. The original 3UK settings even blocked the use of Live Messenger while connected to my wifi if I had the 3UK sim card in the Kaiser.
Now you come along and solved all my problems...thank you thank you thank you!
Just a shame that I bought agile mobile a few months ago to workaround the problem, but that's life
Thank you again kind sir.
oops double post
they dont share at the moment, not expected til later on the year. does take a bit of time to set this kind of stuff up! only announced last month!
also works for 3ireland
Glad it's working for everyone. I've certainly found it very handy - Still can't believe that Vodafone and 3 make us use workarounds like this though.
I wouldn't be paying Vodafone £10 per month for MobileTV if I hadn't figured this out, so they'd be worse off. Have to wonder how many new subscribers they'd get if they dropped the restriction entirely...?

Just used this sim unlocker worked fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
That sounds great!
Does it work for HTC-P3600/SPV M700 as well?
Excellent piece of work!!! Many thanks
Thanks very much sub69 for your hard work!
Hello everyone!
Thank-you very much sub69 for sharing your knowledge & expertise on this matter!
I have just taken out a contract with "3", and would like to use my unlocked SPV M700 (HTC Trinity) to access the plethora of services I am entitled to as a 3 contract customer!
I was wondering though (as I'm quite happy with my current setup/config of my SPV M700) whether the WM6 version will work on WM5, or is the .dll file significantly different between WM5 and WM6 (as I did notice WM6 and WM6.1 have different versions)?
Many thanks for your help in advance...
Any need to "switch back"?
Dear all,
I am really interested in this file in order to be able to access Planet 3 / Austria. Before installing I have a tiny question, however.

Now my question is: If Planet 3 successfully can be displayed with a HTC phone (in that way disguised as a Nokia one) - is there any need to switch back to the original HTC-mode?
I mean - does the N95-cab file affect the HTC's other functions in any way?
Because it seems a lot of work to constantly "switch" between HTC and N95, which requires a soft reset as it happens.
I'd be glad if I could just install the N95-disguise on my HTC TyTN II and leave it that way.
Thank you very much in advance!

help to install planet 3 in spv m700
hi sub 69 + everyone
i just brought new contract with 3 uk but my internet working fine but i want to planet 3 so how to get planet 3 and please send me step by step guide if you know as you advised in first post.
thanks
I have just bought an HTC TYTN II, I would like to install the O2 Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM, I prefer the O2 ROM as all the settings are pre-programmed and the layout are as O2 expect them so I can call them for Tech support.
Unfortunately, I cannot access the file as I don't have the O2 version (the XDA STELLAR) and you need to enter your O2 XDA STELLAR Serial Number to access it.
Is there any kind person out there that might be willing to PM (message) me with a serial number of an XDA STELLAR that I could enter to get the file please.
Hoping someone can help me,
Thanks Folks,
wirralot
PS: Isn't the TYTN II / XDA STELLAR just the BEST phone ever!!
i would just put on a cooked rom from the many out there,first read the wiki about spl etc
the settings are on a automatic send once you install a new rom and turn it on,
as for tech help,i would say heres your guys use the search and you will be fine.
iam on o2 and its fine tryed many roms now and still ok.
TyTN IIs Connection Wizard/network will automatically set it up
The HTC branded TyTN II has a connection wizard which allows use on different networks and in different countries (especially useful if you're going overseas and want to use a PAYG sim for example. Also, as already mentioned, when you turn the phone on with your O2 sim already in it, the phone will automatically set itself up for your network - that's how it was with me and Vodafone. There's no need to go to the trouble of flashing your ROM and should you need any tech support, any instructions for the Stellar are likely to apply to the TyTN II as well. The few times I've spoken with Vodafone staff, their V1615 (vodafone branded version) feedback has helped (they even sent me a V1615 manual so I can compare the two).
ps yes it's the best ever as long as you have the WM 6.0 ROM and don't expect very good video playback!
Thanks for the input guys,
I should be receiving the pda in a day or too.
I believe it's on Windows mobile 6.1.
You say :" ps yes it's the best ever as long as you have the WM 6.0 ROM and don't expect very good video playback!"
Is WM 6.1 not a success for the Tytn II?
This is a great site, full of other people like me who couldn't live without their PDA!
Cheers Folks,

I can only write with experience of the HTC branded TyTN II and their official ROMs here in the UK but IMO HTCs WM 6.1 upgrade for the TyTN II is more trouble than its worth. It introduced many bugs which I'd not noticed or experienced under WM 6.0. These included the default ring tones going silent unexpectedly, untidy file structure with WMP program files being where they shouldn't and of course GPS performance issues (which it appears are also plaguing its successor the Touch Pro). I wrote a multipage letter to HTC about bugs with their WM 6.1 upgrade and their handling of them so in short, no, I do not consider HTCs implementation of WM 6.1 a success (in its current state) on the TyTN II
Looking for the upgrade for my TYTN ii to WM6.1 but on the HTC site it says
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device"
It's currently running
WM6 pro
CE OS 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2)
My ROM Version is 1.81.707.0
ROM date 09/05/07
Radio Version 1.27.12.11
I think it is an Asian import as it had Mapking on it originally
Any help greatly appreciated
Yeh i get this message also, and my TYTN is unbranded and unlocked direct from HTC.
It is annoying as how can this be the case?

Found the correct upgrade for my version of TYTN 2
Hi,
If anyone was having the same problem upgrading to WM6.1 for the unbranded Asian version of the HTC.
I found the correct upgrade, just goto HTC.com and choose country of origin (top righthand corner) to Singapore and then follow link to software download section to find upgrade.
Only negative so far is camera takes photos but i cannot see anything in the viewfinder.....time to scout around the forums again.
Cheers Tony
why not flash to a custom rom like i and hundreds more on this forum have done?
I have an AT&T Tilt, Imported, considering AT&T aren't even in Australia i don't think.
I'm running the HyperDragon III Jade+Manila 2D rom on my device, which is a WM6.1 rom and my device could not be going any better. everything is very fast and smooth.
i also got the Omnia Direct 3D Drivers. Duke Nukem 3d runs @ absolute minimum of 16fps if there's lots of explosions and stuff... 35 - 40fps normally.
The TyTn II is an incredible phone with unlimited potential at the moment.
Did you select the file "HTC TyTN II - Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional Upgrade"? This worked for me. After having installed WM 6.1, when I try to download the other file "HTC TyTN II - Operating System [ROM] Update", I also get the message "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
Problems changing OS to wm6.1 o english
TYTYN II changing OS wm6.1 to english
Today I tried to change my tytyn ii language from Norwegian to english. In order to do that I used first flashing with spl 3.29. TyTYN-2 flashed well and then started loading kaiser duttys WM6.1 english, after loading almost 50% it stopped doing giving message communication errors. I tried several times after restoring connection, but it stopped everytime at 0% loading, giving the message incorrect communication. Active sync does not work any more, only usb.
The mobile screen is showing three colours with words at the right corner RUUNBH
andat the left KAIS130, SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
Please help me, what steps should I take
Thanks for your attention.

It is a version problem!
Guys,
It is the version which could be the problem. Mine is 1.81 version with 1.27 radio version. If you find the kaiser rom updates page on this portal, you will see that wm6.1 is available for verison 3. something not for 1.8... Although I will give a go with the rom update I have downloaded from somewhere else
cheers
