Please can someone update the Wiki for the UK ROM, thanks.
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE SHIPPED T-Mobile ROMs
HUNGARIAN
GERMAN
SHIPPED ROMS HERE
If there are anymore T-Mobile Shipped ROMS I have not mentioned please msg me and I will update accordingly.
Any chance of this thread being sticked?
Thanks, I think this is very helpfull.
Great! Always usefull when you need to restore your device
Has anyone tested if any of these ROMs flash properly.. for me it would be the Dutchversion then... But I can not test right now can not have my phone broken down. Once Kaizer is out I am going to buy that one and then I could test, but would be nice to know if these dumped ROMs work
Unfortunately I do not know, I haven't even tested the UK version as I am not sure if it will work, however I did update the RUU.
Shame we cannot emulate the firmware install!
The T-Mob UK dumped ROM isn't quite right - the w'n'w home page doesn't work properly.
Minor thing but, one of the first things I tested
I dumped my friends ROM the other day. I'm currently working on building it and testing it - will let you know when it's done
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Hmmm...humble pie - lovely
Well, after flashing the ROM i dumped the other day, I had exactly the same thing with IE.
It took me about 3 seconds to realise it must be because the extROM had been flashed by one of the WM6 ROMs I had been using in the past.
As it turns out, this is the case so I can confirm that if you have the same issue, download the extROM dumo from the wiki (from this page) and delete the current contents of your extROM and copy the downloaded one back to it. Hard reset, and voila - everything back the way T-Mobile shipped (apart from Radio ROM, IPL\SPL etc...) but WTH ;-)

Trapper,
I assume you mean how can you put the correct Extended ROM onto your device? If I understand this correctly, the ROMs mentioned in Jygar's first post are the original main ROM but the Extended ROM is in fact from a Windows Mobile 6 ROM (I do not believe that flashing a ROM will affect the Extended ROM - the problem is that the re-flashed (downgraded) WM5 ROM is starting the Extended ROM installation after the basic OS install (as normal) but that Extended ROM is still a WM6 one.
The page that is linked to includes many Extended ROMs from many countries and devices - one of them an original T-Mobile ROM (here) and if you were to unlock/unhide and mount your Extended ROM you would be able to delete the incorrect (WM6) ones and then paste in these original Extended ROM files.
The Extended ROM files are executed during a hard reset after the OS has been installed - details of how this works are within this forum. I am not sure that you need to do a hard reset but it all depends on whether you stopped the device completing a normal (complete) install. After a hard reset the device will start to execute the Extended ROM files/.cabs and if you stop that with a soft reset as soon as it starts then the device will re-boot with a basic WM build (with no service provider fixes/updates/customisations/settings)
If this is all explaining what you already know then sorry but your question posted is rather open... Hope this helps
ExtROM.nb attached Just put it into an NBH and flash
@tony.wheeler - What was the original radio version of your Vario II? I'm in the process of creating a complete upgrade to restore UK MDA Vario II's to their 'out of the box' state with the original ROMs (IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, OS, Radio ExtROM)
Phil
eek, think it was 1.03?
[edit]Have done a search it appears it is 1.05!
only problem is this is HTC_BOOT 0106 and most ppl are now patched to 0108 so I would have thought we cannot downgrade our radio rom.
TBH 1.43 is the best radio rom out and i cannot say a bad word against it. I have only eva updated my radio rom and since the radio update have not had a problem with the origional t-mob os.
Hehe, yeah i found out it was 1.05 as well. Oh well, I'll use 1.07 in my NBH. I now have a complete ROM backup (IPL, SPL, GSM, OS, MainSplash, SubSplash, ExtROM) to revert back to should anything ever happen which means I would need to claim on the warranty.
Phil
The dutch rom seems to be in *.raw files. How can i open of re compile it?
jm012a9749 can you upload it?

I keep loosing connection with the 1.50 that came with the WM6 test ROM, and also falling down to GSM even though I'm in a good 3G reception area.
Didn't seem to notice these problems before. I was running Radio 1.48 onto of the old radio.

Any chance of you posting this backup ROM? There are many of us who would be very keen to have this as a safety net for when we have to return our Vario 2s under warranty.

I too am running with Radio 1.50, after a short-lived update to WM6. I have had no problems at all with 2g or 3g, steady as a rock.
Ok guys please be gentle, ive tried searching and posting previously with no success.
I have purchased a 2nd hand Wizard which is an O2 badged sim unlocked unit being used with an Orange sim. I know I have a G4 device from following the guides and I know that somewhere on this site there are links to manufacturer roms which I will need before I can start playing, I just cant find them.
So....
Can someone please provide a link to the latest WM5 Orange Rom and is there a WM6 manufacturer version that will work with the CID locked G4 device?
Thanks
You sure first SIM unlocking your G4, then use shelltool to flash a WM6 ROM as you wish (No official WM6 ROM is available, and will never be).
Since it's a O2, you can revert to WM5 (That is needed when you need to flash other WM6 ROM) by using official RUU for O2.
Thanks, I take it there isnt an official orange wm5 to restore it back to available then? Is there?
To be honest I would have liked to start by just going from an O2 rom to an Orange one and then upgrade to wm6.
Okay with many help from bdacier i managed to put together the dutch t-mobile rom here is the link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/104004272/MDA_TOUCH_PLUS_T-Mobile_NL_1.35.114.07_Ship.rar.html
Remember this is OS only so you need to have hardspl to flash this rom,
with this file you can restre your t-mobile logo,s
Cheers,
Nice work Looking-g. Finally something for us dutch users!
Thnx you very much
whooohooww, lets flash back!!!
gr. bram
flash back
Well flashing back cann be very usefull when you need to bring back your device so that there is still warrenty on it on the other hand it is the only dutch rom available at the moment hope somebody makes a rom like tom,s one in dutch or maybe you bram can translate your good working rom for this device in to dutch maybe you can use this rom as a base for it anyway i sure had a reason to flash back,cheers

But isn't so that after using harspl your warranty is void? Since you have to use hardspl for this rom you can't use it to retain your warranty.
yes it can, the original spl in the spl thread is also the one t-mobile uses!
Yes id like to flash back because i like the t-mo rom(finally a good one!!)
Ill try to make an dutch version of the surface rom shortly!!
gr. bram
So which one is the original spl then? sspl v1.16?
original t-mobile
sspl : 1.16
rom 1.35
radio: 1.58.16.27
protocol:25.61.30.03h
guess the CID is 111111 for t-mobile this is what i saw in the roms there are for t-mobile
the model name for mda touch plus is niki200 (for htc this is niki100)
boot and splash screen both t-mobile see attachment in the first post
Bram i am looking forward for a dutch surface rom,
cheers
my cousin has 2 orange spv m3100 and was thinking about upgrading them to windows mobile 6 or 6.1 depending on rom's available
is this easily done?
and would it be best to unlock the phone so it can go on all networks before the rom update or after it?
all advice would be great thank you
Upgrading your device's rom is quite easy after youve done it once, just check the wiki page, upgrading for beginners this should tell you all you need to know about flashing a rom for the first time.
Have fun
cheers scotty
we're guna havea play about with both of them next tuesday/wednesday when we're both free
maybe unlock teh sim so it goes any network aswell
another quick question
do you know if the latest rom on there for the orange spv m3100 is a wm6 build?
no there wasnt a wm6 released for the spv m3100 the actual newest orange rom is a update on wm5 it is in my uploaded file i think if you want to have a look, i used a cooked rom after hard-spl and super cid everything works fine and i have flashed quite a few roms.
Have fun
thanks
do you know of any wm6 roms for the spv?
or if i got the phone unlocked and used a vodafone sim in it would i be able to flash vodafone roms or would i still have to use the orange rom?
James, going to your original question, I've recently done this myself, and over the past week, i've flashed my phone numerous times, so its very easily done.
Just read the guides, and make sure your 100% confident that you've understood it, I did and i'm 100% happy with the outcome!
Thanks Greeee
did you flash a wm6 or a wm5?
cause it comes with a wm5, but wanna updte to a wm6
Tbh, I should've explained something...
My phone is the HTC Hermes 200, not the SPV M3100, although they are the same phone, mines not branded by any network.
It was shipped to me (Bought secondhand) as WM6.1, so all I did last week was updated the HardSPL and since tried a few roms.
I didn't have to use SuperCID, to unlock mine, as it was unlocked, but I do wish you well buddy, and word of recommendation, try not to use branded software on phones, as they bog them down with too much bloatware, stick with what you like.
If need be, I'll help where I can, but tbh, your in safer hands with everyone in here, as all I did was read the guides, and stuck to what was being advised.
The people here are good, which makes it so much easier to use!
cheers Greeee
well im thinking of getting it unlocked before i do anything to it anyway, when using roms without a specified carrier does that mean i can use any rom or is it best to stick with the operator specified?
if you super cid you device you can use any rom that has been cooked or from any carrier as it is basically a unlock for that a bit like a sim unlock. most people use the cooked roms by the chefs in the wm6 part of the forum where there are wm6/6.1 and 6/5 roms that have been cooked and have different features so you will probably have to do a bit of flashing and some looking around before you find a rom that is best suited to you.
If you have ne more questions just ask, Have fun
cheers again scotty
super cid, that easy to do?
just like flashing?
and could i sitll use any carrier rom even if i got someone at a shop to unlock my phone to any carrier?
super cid an sim unlocking is different to flashing i think i dont really remember
wiki on sim an cid unlock here
and a thread here
hope this helps and saves u paying to have it unlocked good luck
yer unlocking and super cid are dif to flashing
are super cid and unlocking the same you know?
cheers for the links, i'll try saving some cash now
no problem and they both come in the same program you just choose which one you want to do both.
Good luck
whats teh splbootloader thing what i been reading about?
it says you need to install that or something :s
do you mean hard-spl?
yer thats what i mean
you will need to flash version 7 2.10 after the sim and cid unlock this prevents your device from bricking if a flash goes wrong
cheers
so sim/cid unlock
then flash hard spl 7 2.10
then flash my rom?
Hi, i have to send my device to o2 Germany Service. Can please somebody tell me what Radio, Protocol and ROM Versions are shown on the startscreen by the original device?
Thx.
p.s. tried to use search, but found nothing...
p.p.s. really need help...
On mine it used to be this radio: 1.58.21.23
I am not sure about the system, but there is a thread for original Roms around here with a german o2 dump ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368284 ). That should be fine. Don't forget to get rid of the SPL too...
mblaster
sure, i've flashed original ROM and SPL, but this is what i've got on a bootscreen.
I dont think, it's ok...
You still seem to have radio version 1.71.09.01. Your phone should not work properly with that one (ok, obviously it doesn't anyway, but the service could notice that). This stock rom needs radio version < 1.65.x.y. So you need to do SPL again to flash the older radio.
Unfortunately I dont know the exact output on the bootscreen for a xda star that has never been flashed, but there may be variations in any case. I dont think the service will notice something if you have the right radio version, a stock rom and no "security unlocked" message in the bootscreen, perhaps someone can confirm this?

Thx, i'll try to flash older radio today, but what about "1iki"? Should it be there?
Ok, now i flashed it again. This is what i've got
P.S. Spl is 1.16.0000
Is it ok now? )
Hey guys,
thank you very much for the hint about the original German Windows Mobile 6.0 HTC Nike ROM.
I checked that one and it's working fine with HardSPL.
Nevertheless I wasn't satisfied yet so I was looking for an updated ROM and I was successful.
I found an original Windows Mobile 6.1 German ROM and that one is working fine as well.
Due to the fact I hate Rapidshare I have also uploaded the ROM to MegaUpload.
Here they are:
