Hi.
I recently acquired a TouchPro2 (T7373), and it came with Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro in Italian. I want to install the WWE ROM and I wanted advice to be sure I don't wend up with a dead device!
I've read about HardSPL and a version for GSM and another for CDMA-GSM worldphone (Rhod400, Rhod500) and I really don't understand which mine belongs to.
It's not locked to any carrier and it says on the box HSPA/WCDMA as well as Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
Any directions please?
Thanks.

Hi There,
I am buying a Wizard (MDA Vario) for an Australian friend of mine that's coming over for a visit and naturally she wants the wizard in English.
However, I can easily (and very cheaply) get the Dutch version from T-Mobile in the Netherlands since I am renewing my partners contract.
So I guess I need to flash a new WWE rom onto the Dutch T-Mobile...
My questions:
I am aware of the WWE I-Mate Rom that you can download from the club I-Mate ftp site.
1. Is this a good rom - and will it work 100% problem free with the Dutch MDA Vario?
2. Are there any other or better alternatives? any links to other roms? maybe a T-Mobile UK rom or QTEK 9100? which WWE rom is considered the most stable and non sluggish?
I appreciate you kind help and effort.
Cheers,
Lisa
Lisa, I am having the same issue ,e xcept mine is Currently with Orange and a French OS.
If I find out more info, I'll let you know.
Cheers
Rob
I have a Dutch MDA myself.
Just flashed the Imate rom today with WWE.
Seems to work great.
No problems at all.
Qwerty keyboard is the same too.
hi everybody,
do somebody know anything 'bout an new update?..
i ve heard bout a test version 2.8.x but i cannont find it anywhere. and when will be the new one released.
greets from the chiemsee
we are currently on version 2.17/2.18 FINAL (Qtek ROM). T-Mobile haven't released any new yet.
I've not looked into upgrading my ROM yet as there seem to be so many horror stories around here.
Could someone say what the main benefits of newer ROMs are (I'm using the latest UK T-Mobile factory-fitted ROM at the moment) and what the dangers of installing non T-Mobile ones are? (I've already turned off most of the T-Mobile rubbish, but I don't want to suddenly lose Text or MMS messaging, or my default GPRS internet connection, etc). And if I upgrade the ROM, can I just use something like SPB Backup to restore all my applications, messages, etc. automatically or do I need to re-install applications by hand?
Andre
The new Rom is faster, has DirectPush Support and there are a few other little things better. And in the QTek Rom is no T-Mob. branding.
The Danger (with all rom updates, not only with non T-Mob. Roms): It's possible that you damage or destroy your device. Important is that you use lokiwiz to unlock your MDA for other Roms than from T-Mob.
I recommence reinstalling the apllications by hand. yfor mails etc. you can use spb backup. (if you haven't it on your pc to resync too)
i know about the new qtek 2.18.. but here in the forum in a topic the tell about 2.8 t-mobile test rom or beta rom.. possibly a wrong number... do anybody still have this rom?.. better in german lang.. or a way to downgrade from the new qutek to t-mobile... cause i don t know if it s possible to take my baby back in "real" t-mobile-flair if there is a problem with warranty someday....
greets and thx for the fast answeres

Hello,
I'm also using a T-Mobile Vario with following device info:
ROM version 1.6.2.4 WWE
ROM date 11/15/05
Radio version 01.12.10
Protocol version 4.0.13.23
ExtROM version 1.6.2.105
But I'm not on T-Mobile network and I use 802.11g wireless instead of GPRS, so I don't care about whether or not to stick with T-Mobile ROMs.
Could anybody please advise if it's OK for me to update other, a newer and better one hopefully, on my device? If so could you please recommend the newest set of ROMs.
BTW, I'm a newbie and I don't understand what Protocol and ExtROM are, and if I should install them, and if yes where to find them? Can you please explain. Thank you.
Rgds,

Hello,
Just to update that I've upgraded my Wizard with the new Qtek ROM. It works much faster and there's now no problem with Wifi anymore.
Device Info:
ROM version: 2.17.7.2 WWE
ROM date: 2/10/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.17.7.102
Can anybody please advise what does the ExtROM do and if I can exclude it from the device? Any good in doing this? Thanks
Qtek ROM
Where can you get the Qtek ROM for MDA Vario from? I am also on UK t-mobile rom. its just too slow sometimes! but i dont want to damage the unit so which one is better Qtek to Imate KJAM rom and which version is the best one to download and where can I get them?
Thanks I know these are very silly basic questions!
Hello,
I honestly don't know which ROM is better, I just tried Qtek one because I saw it most updated. Luckily it went smoothly for me. If you've got the UK T-Mobile please make sure that you've unlocked its CID beforehand.
You can get the ROM from here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
That's the newest English version.
Hope this helps.

I'm running the T-Mobile custom rom built on 2.17 and it works very well. As long as you follow directions and not panic if thngs look as if they are going astray, you shoudl be ok. I've upgraded, downgraded and upgraded again about a dozen different times with only one time having it going south on me. I just used the bootloader method of flashing and was abale to get out of trouble. I would use aWizard to to a full rom backup before doing a flash in case you want to downgrade. Over all, I do not know whether it is necessary but I always runb the unlock before the upgrade, even if I did it already. 3 minutes of time but could save your rear end . . . just my 2 cents . . .
Can you use T-Mobile USA rom on a UK Vario (Wizard)?
Hi all,
Just wondering if you can use the T-Mobile USA rom on a UK vario?
It seems the US version (2.17) is a lot newer than the UK version (1.06)
My advice would be to use the latest QTek rom of the desired language.
Make sure you make a backup of the current extROM beforehand.
After the upgrade you can install the backupped cabs you want by hand.
This gets you the most stable situation.
On the wiki there is a brief explanation of the various files in extROM
I am using the official Dutch Tmob rom on my sim-unlocked MDA
( not CID locked yet due to warranty still )
RUU_Prodigy_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship.exe
Since most applications are in English language I want to change my ROM to an english version preferable 2.26.
I read some issues with the US Tmobile version so don't like to take that one. Has anyone done this and found an english rom to work ok?
Hi A2Z,
I was using the official Dutch rom as well (CID unlocked)
I updated to the US T-mobile 2.26 which I have been using since it came out and I haven't had any problems with it at all, in fact, quite the opposite, it works much better than my old rom.

Thanks I found an excellent downgrade procedure and CID unlocked my MDA and now I am running IPL/SPL 2.26 US Rom too. Lets hope its stable on mine too.
Hi,
can you tell me how you downgraded and unlocked your MDA VARIO?
I have an exact same device I think: Dutch MDA Vario G3 2.21 ipl/spl.
I really want to unlock it without bricking my phone! So if you can send me a link / guide of how to do this I'd be really glad.
thanks,

Hello,
My friend asked me to change UI language on his T-Mobile MDA Vario III from german to english. I think that I have to "upgrade" it to HTC WWE rom? The problem is that I cannot download rom upgrade from HTC.com, because this is T-Mobile device, and I don't have "HTC" S/N. But there is already some HTC rom in device:
ROM 1.56.407.3
1.27.12.32
22.45.88.07H
Could anybody give me link for HTC rom for Kaiser, please?

Hello everybody,
is it possible to find somewhere the WM6.0 version for my T-Mobile (german) MDA Vario III - if possible the original german version, but could be also an english version ? I have currently the original WM6.1 german on it and I am not satisfied with the performances... What would I need in addition to the WM6.0 kit?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Complain to your provider T-Mobile about the issues you are experiencing with the new ROM and that you'd like it reverted. I had this done on my HTC TyTN II under warranty for free but even if they won't revert it for you, they may provide the WM 6.0 German ROM and then you can use the procedures described here to revert it yourself. As already described the WWE ROM already linked to is very reliable and it gets lightening fast GPS locks/performance - hence I'm using it.
You did read my post replying to you on this subject at the end of Februrary didn't you?
ah, a another german tytnII (aka vario III) using tmobile
if everything fails, i think i have a dump of the 6.0 t-mobile rom my vario was shipped with.

Ok, operative1, could I dare to ask you to give me the 6.0 t-mobile rom? It would be very nice from you. Thank you in advance.
