I'm really new to upgrading mobile devices and have a little problem here. I live in Germany but am English speaking and have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II with the German ROM's installed on it.
From my understanding I have to leave the radio ROM for Germany in it but can upgrade the OS and Config/Settings ROM's to English/WWE. I have been looking at all the guides, FAQ's, and other forum posts and still am not confident in what exactly I am to do when needing to upgrade only 2 of the 3 ROM's (I'm afraid I will wipe out the radio ROM).
Can somebody please explain or link me to the process of how to leave the German radio ROM untouched on my device but upgrade the others to English?
Thanks guys & gals!

Hi,
you don't need to keep the RadioROM.
I'm also living in germany and have the english Cingular RadioROM installed.
Be careful before flashing a ROM with a new bootloader version. Please read my Post Making upgrading and unlocking a bit clearer
Thank you.

After spending some time reading through the articles in this forum, I am a little bewildered. Its obviously not as simple as running a program is it??
I love and use my m1000 all day, every day and it is vital to my life.
Please please please would someone, anyone, supply step by step instructions on how to safely upgrade as I've already had to have my m1000 replaced as I tried to upgrade my rom to the MMS version as supplied by Orange.
To this day, I am unable to install the rom update to use MMS, I have asked for help from Orange and the modaco website .. and unfortunately, no luck but a pointer to this glorious forum from the modaco website.
Ta in advance ..
mrplatypus
orange comes with 2003 and the newer version is 2003SE
2000 pure is very old

Apologies ...
Sorry, I meant to type .. WM2003 as opposed to WM2000 and WM2003SE to WM2000SE..
WM2003 to WM2003SE wiv MMS!
In another post on this site (with me in it) the files which reside in the extended rom after the upgrade were uploaded to this forum.
This has provided me with my mms and I am very much happier.
However, I am still after really really BASIC instruction and the files to upgrade the Operating System on the phone, from WM2003 to WM2003SE (or greater?)
Much appreciated.
mrPlatypus
the post i linked to is the easiest way i think
2003SE is not official or even originally in English it's an
Chinese rom hand translated by people in this forum so i dont think we
can expect an official easy operator install for it
also you know that flashing your orange pda would void the warranty ?
voided warranty ..
Ok, I was asking to find out how difficult it would be -- my current contract with Orange officially runs out in September where I'll be upgrading my phone/pda anyway ..
Thanks for the advice and the pointers on legality.

I have XDA II ROM 1.03.00 GER (German language version).
May I upgrade it directly to the latest ROM version 1.72.12 or should I upgrade it to the 1.6050WWE first?
And I would like to get rid of the German language too.
Thanks for your help.
roms are replaces 100% so it dont matter if you get 1.6X first
Could you also advise the whole step-by-step upgrading process "for dummy" (or link)?
Thanks.

Hi comm!
I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, Rom Version: 1.21.
Can i upgrade my PPC with the released WM6 update of HTC without any problems, although i have a differently branded TyTN? Will all functions work (telephone, internet)? And can i downgrade my WM6 to WM5 easily or can I reactive my current system status with a backup (SK Tools)? Last but not least, what will the warranty say?
Thanks for your efforts.
PS: sorry for all these maybe stupid questions...but i´m just a beginner =)
upgrading to WM 6 worked for me as did unlocking ;-)
If you do not use an official T-mobile ROM update forget any warranty, unless you're able to downgrade to the original one
I have an original Rom from T-Mobile. Do you know what happens with the warranty of T-Mobile when you unlock the CID? Does the CID still will be unlocked if you install another Rom? Can you lock it again?
It won´t be possible unless you downgrade to your old ROM again. I am not sure if that´s possible, though.
I went along the way described at http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php...ask=view&id=65&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4
If you follow the directions including the upgrade to wm6 from Custel, you can afterwards install the German WM6 version from HTC. It won´t work directly. The CID will stay locked and the HTC cannot be installed until you installed the CUSTEL version.
I think the T-Mobile contract does not allow to modify the system in this way.
How to
Using the search function gave me thread as the first result.(Couldnt find any how to guides)
So.. What do i need to do to upgrade my ROM? i have a fresh MDA vario II just got repaired from the shop.(Nothing to do with bricking if you;re wondering)
Can some one please give me a simple step by step guide on how to upgrade.
Thanks a bunch
HELP

Hello,
I'm a new member. I just bought my Mda vario 2. I saw the vario was the same as HTC Hermes, so i would like to upgrade my vario to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428597 rom.
My current rom is the original shipped WM5 and the device is already sim-unlocked i think. My pc has vista installed. Ive already read alot of threads on this forum, but i really dont know where to start and i really dont want to brick my new vario.
Also is that rom good or does anyone recommend an other rom thats more stable/faster/better looking?
P.s sorry for my bad english, im Dutch.
Thanks,
Chris
