Hi,
Is there a way to edit the splash screen on my Vario II?
I've upgraded to the cingular rom 1.34 with radio 1.16 but now whenever I reboot I get the white & orange 'Cingular .. raising the bar" screen.
I think this could be done on the older roms using ER2003EDIT to edit the NBF file, is it possible on my Vario II?
Thanks,
Mark

Quick answer: It is not possible (yet!), as the Hermes uses a new format (NBH) and any upgrade must be signed with a proper key (which HTC won't tell you) before it can be flashed.
Read the wiki if you want to know more.

Hi, [newbie alert]
I've just received my O2 XDA II (already unlocked) and want to load the latest firmware (I don't care for the additional O2 stuff either).. I can see that the i-mate 1.72 firmware is the latest...
a. Can I just load this firmware onto my unit, if so will it just 'turn into' an i-mate?
b. If so, what's the procedure, will I need to hack the operator code using er2000edit or can I just load it as is?
xdaII with i-mate rom
i have upgraded mine (previously 1.60 rom) to the latest i-mate 1.72. and it works perfectly. longer battery life.
i just have to the wm2003 rom editor. changed the manufacturer's name to O2.
One little problem, the Extended Rom gave an error message (smthg like "Error accessing rom image), but i ignored it, modified the name and saved it.
then i just run Himalaya exe file. and after 1hr n 30min. all set.
the splash screen also cant be read. therefore mine is still got i-mate splash screen.
HI,
I have been stupid and once getting my MDA Vario II in the post I ran a sim unlocker from www.buzzdev.com been impatient I ran this through and it crashed at 90%. I then read further that this unlock was not actually for this phone. ( i know I'm and idiot, still kicking myself about this)
Anyway the phone now hangs on the windows mobile splash screen. I've tried getting the sim unlocker from www.imei-checker.co.uk but when entering the stage of pressing the (ok, power, and soft reset) button I can't get the usb signal to come up at the bottom of the tri colour screen to enable me to run the app.
Can anyone give me some pointers to get me out of the stupid mess I've got myself into. I'm sucessfully running the I-mate K-JAM ROM on the MDA Vario and have just upgraded to the VARIO II but have stuffed things up big time.
Help Please
You used the HTC Universal unlocker and the radio part of your device is trahsed.
See the bottom of this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
You can still boot the device, but GSM will not work because radio is broken.
In order to fix it, try using the "flash from microSD card" method, described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62596
Which CID does the Vario II have? You should use a NBH with the same CID, but t-mob hasn't released any updates yet... so, try using the TyTN rom, the CID is "QTEK_001" and let me know if it works, otherwise you'll have to wait for a NBH with your CID.

HTC ended up replacing my device as even they couldn't get it to flash over JTAG after someone else had run the 'universal' bootloader.....
To start the device, do a hard reset then soft reset rather than press spacebar to reboot afterwards.
EDIT - I've had trouble with ime-check's unlokcer as well, with a working m3100 - try a different P.C to run it on.

I've flashed my T-Mobile Vario II with the latest WM5 AKU 3.3 rom and, whilst I know it sounds wierd, would like to return the look and feel to its original state.
I have executed the original Ext. ROM CABS and copied Tmobile.TSK to the my documents folder but this still leaves the HTC Phone skin in place and the Splash screen is a HTC one.
What I'd like to do is change the splash screen, get a suitable CAB to skin the Phone so it looks "original T-mobile" and then bang the whole lot into the EXT. ROM so that it will all restore automatically after a hard reset.
Is it possible to change the boot screen? Does anyone have the T-Mobile Boot screen if so?
Is there a T-Mobile Phone skin CAB around? Will it impact on AKU 3.3 functionality?
What config.txt command do I need for the .TSK install?
Search the forums for T-Mobile_UK_Customisation_Cabs.
I think that has everything you need.
As I'm so kind, heres a link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297985
Thanks for replying.
Unfortunately those are just the CABS from the original EXT ROM - no splash screen, no Phone skin
off course no splash, this is integrated in RUU flasher (package you used). you can do boot screen by yourself, here is procedure and some usefull information - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296511 but this still doesnt give back you t-mobile screen, to do that you must flash original RUU update from t-mobile (but this version is tooo old, and Tmobile have no plan to release update for vario II), or you can extract splash from full upgrade, how to do it is also in Wiki.
Hi there!
I finally exchanged my MDA VARIO for a HTC Hermes (AT&T 8525). The device is already SIM / CID unlocked and I successfully flashed it with a German WM6 from O2.
My question:
Does anybody know if I can flash the device with any HERMES ROM? I would like to flash it with the German T-Mobile version but as far as I know the German T-Mobile version is a HERM300 and the German O2 is a HERM100 (like the AT&T 8525). Does that matter for flashing?
You can flash any Hermes ROM on any Hermes model.
The different models are just different housings.
Here some more info (scroll to the middle of the page):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Versions
Yeah,
tried it already by myself. Still a problem: I flashed the German HERMES WM6 (for HERM200) and it worked fine. Afterwards I tried the German T-Mobile (HERM300) - flashing process went fine. However, it was hanging at the splash screen. The only one thing I could do, was, to enter the bootloader manually and flash with the DOPOD version again.
Yep, does not look like there is a compatibility between a HERM100 and HERM300!
I tried once more to flash the device with the German T-Mobile WM5 (HERM300) and it does not work - hangs on SPLASH again and is saying on startup: NO GSM
Three days ago, I would flsh my t-mobile mda vario II with wm 6.5 fraom tai. I thaught, the flash was well, but when I made a hard-reset, the mda stopped during booting. I can see the t-mobile start-scree and then the windows mobile-screen, then boot stopped.
I can't get contact with active sync, I can't flash with RuuWrapper. I always got the Error 200.
When I want to flash from SD-Card, I saw at first the 4 colour screen then a grey screen with loading und the the numbers 00068002, after this the four-colour-screen shows
HERM300
IPL-1.04
HERM300
SPL-2.03
I want to go to summer-holiday in three days and I want to use the mda as a navigation tool.
So I need your help to reanimate the mda.

Yesterday I use the t-mobile image from the wiki. Update starts but then I got the "Error 294" - wrong vendor-ID. How can I see the vendor-id of the mda?
I need your help, cause I want to go to holiday on friday.

Mate you broke the No.1 rule - HARD SPL YOUR HERMES BEFORE FLASHING.....
Unless you have the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM you won't be able to fix this in a hurry. Why don't people READ anymore, its not like there aren't warnings written EVERYWHERE on this site about Hard SPLing your Hermes...
Hope you can borrow a GPS or you'll need to purchase one as I don't see this getting fixed before Friday.
I believe that's right.

But how can I get an original shipped stock rom. I've talking with htc and t-mobile. both of them have any ROM for Hermes.
Is there anyone who can help with an original rom?
