I've looked around, and it seems everything focuses on HTC and Cingular. All the Tmobile roms are VERY old. Anyone have any suggestion what would work well with Tmobile service in the US?
Thanks
Tmobile has no plans to release update, there is some post, where somebody asked tmobile support about that. I think branded ROMs is not so good, as cooked roms, in branded roms is many useless programs, and settings, and this roms usually is not so fast, as cooked roms...
ROM for Vario II (T-Mobile Germany) wanted!!!
Hello,
I have a big problem: During a firmware update for my vario II (Hermes) the installation has been interupted and now, I can't start the PPC anymore (only bootloader mode).
To solve the problem, I need the original Firmware from T-Mobile
(1.21.111.3), which I have to load it from SD-Card into the PPC. In wiki I found a version, but it doesn't work (unpack failure). Where can I get an another version?
Thanks in advance!
I also wanted to know what "cooked" roms there are that are good for tmobile service... and maybe those that are geared with tzones (wap proxy) internet.
I do not know why but im having a lot of trouble getting the wap internet to work right. I have tried many different ports for the proxy area, as well as leaving some blank and so on... its just not working for some sites, on my other phone i300 with wm6 it worked perfect on every site just that it had gprs only no edge.
no i get stupid errors in IE like "the requested page is too long" url= (the url that im trying) and then status=62(hex)
what is that? i never had that before, and my web gmail always worked on the i300, now i can maybe some times sign in but never go to inbox at all.
ROM that is on the phone vp3G 3.60.2 radio 1.50
im just wondering what i should get... for tmobile service here in AZ

My TyTN is bricked thanks to my trying to update it to the Cingular aku3.3 ROM -- with so many others in the same situation I've been unable to obtain any specific help (I've gone thru the Wiki and numerous threads and tried every suggested fix I could find, all to no avail) and I desparately need to get my pda phone working. After learning that HTC has no servicing location in the USA and their branded service center (I contacted Cingular HTC service center) won't work on my TyTN, I've concluded it's not a good idea to buy another TyTN. So I'm ready to go to the local Cingular dealer and signup for a 2-yr contract so I can purchase an 8525 for about half what I'd pay for the TyTN (Cingular is my provider so I only need the equipment).
BUT..... if there is ANY hope I could recover my dead TyTN I'd much prefer to do that. It's just that time is short and, as I said, I really rely on my pda phone.
Thanks for any help offered.
What's wrong with it specifically? I think there might be something wrong with mine as well...
In my case I got an error when it was 91% complete on the ROM upgrade -- since then I can't boot into WinMobile -- it boots to the Cingular/ATT logo then goes blank, so I have no access to it at all except via the bootloader. As I said, the Wiki has loads of useful info and how-to suggestions but none of them seem to work for my "brick". And I really need to make a decision.
Crap, that sucks.
I upgraded to the "HTC Test" ROM, and now I cannot make outgoing calls. About 40 - 50% of my calls are met with "Call cannot be completed as dialed," and I am frustrated as hell. So then I downgraded and got the same results.
So then I went to the new 2.06 Cingular (AT&T) ROM with no luck, and then downgraded (again) to the earlier Cingular ROM (I don't recall which version).
I ahve a fully functioning device, but I cannot make calls! (Well, some go through.) I should mention my data is working like a champ. My next step is to try a new Cingular SIM - my T-Mobile SIM also works just fine, both data and voice.
Hmm...
I'm pretty confident that I can upgrade my tmobile vario rom following the great instructions provided by forum members! the main question I hqve is do any tmobile uk owners have any recommendations on what rom to upload to? I'm fed up with all the bugs in this handset!
For now I'm using the HTC 1.35.255.2 (AKU2.3) ROM
I tried the HTC 2.05.255.1 (AKU3.3) ROM, but there were a couple of little things that didn't work - Windows Media Player wouldn't stream anything for example.
As a T-Mobile UK user who lives and works in London, it was nice to see the little "U" at the top of the screen turn into a little "H" with the AKU3.3 Rom, but I'm waiting for a final release with the bugs ironed out before I go back to AKU3.3.
I've had some irritating issues with my T-Mobile UK Vario II as well.
After I did a hard-reset and the T-mobile crap installed intself I can't for the life of me get the internet explorer to browse over Wi-Fi (even though I can connect to the router just fine).
What is the latest (or best) official t-mobile rom and where do I get it? (the wiki directs me to a blackberry download page).
there is no t-mobile uk rom at present, i am waiting for one myself, after already sending my device back once and getting a replacement as kept dropping calls, and bluetooth is utter rubbish on this device at present. Major problems with bluetooth car kit and this device.people not hearing me speak or in spits and spurts.
I am currently runnning the test aku 3.3 2.05 rom, which is far better than any of the others that i have tried. the 1.35 is also a lot better than the standard t-mobile rom.
my advice is either go for the 1.35 or the test 2.05 rom. you will notice the differnce immediately over the normal rom.
Hopefully it wont be long now before an official rom gets released by T-Mobile. They are seriously dragging there heals on this.
T-Mobile_UK_Vario_2_ExtROM_WWE.zip
I uploaded this on to to my unlocked HTC TyTN (AKU 2.3), as I'm a T-Mobile USA subscriber & miss two of the MDA (wizard) ExtRom apps -
a. the sign in for TMobile (accesses the secure tmobile1x with a protcol that is not in 2.3 (AKU 2.3), and
b. a TMobile push for pop3 email on their My T-mobile service.
I also cannot send or receive MMS and hoped it might help with that.
It did not add either tool, nor make MMS worked and it stopped the Exchange 2003 push working. It really only adds meta icons for tools already present and a camera patch (not sure if needed).
The other Wizard apps - Instant Messaging and t-zones are available elsewhere.
I flashed it back to the HTC ExtROM & my MS Exchange push works again.
Thanks to the excellent help on this site that I could do this and go back.
Main reason for the post tho is to explain the content & post a warning about the Exchange push.
Do you guys using the original rom also have networking troubles with msn messenger?
Just sits there attempting to sign in?
I also had this on my mda pro and wondered if it was a rom problem or a t mobile specific thing
i think messenger is just slow not sure if the latest version messenger live rectifies these problems! does rom 2.5 rectify the tmobile 3g issue?
T-mobile Rom
Hi
I too am having issues with the t-mobile rom. Historically, T-mobile are always amoung the last to fix their bugs. They were very very slow on the universal.
I also really do wonder why operators see fit to include loads of operator branded [email protected] that no one wants!
I have unlocked my device using Pof's unlocker and installed radio 1.27. I mainly use my device on the train with a laptop via bluetooth. Thus far, I am finding that the 1.27 rom is worse than the 1.06 rom. Data does not keep moving as well as before, and I have more black spots on my commute.
I dont have the time, patience or nerve to chop and change roms too often, so I will wait for a AKU3.3 english official rom that has streaming etc working correctly before I upgrade.
I'd love for t-mobile to release on officially, but I doubt this will happen any time soon.
My main issues are with bluetooth and MMS. Bluetooth disconnects and disables itsself randomly (bloody anoying!). MMS does not appear to work unless you install all the t-mobile crap. I tried to install it by cherry picking from the cabs, but unless I install them all then the MMS folders in outlook dissapear on a soft reset.
The device also has a habit of deleting the t-mobile internet settings for the hell of it.
My universal was like this at first, until I shoved a Qtek rom on it instead.

I have a T-Mobile Vario II, I have unlocked it, installed HARDSPL v7, installed radio 1.50.00 and it works fine with WM5.
However ANY version of 6.1 installed and the phone function goes to pot. To get a service network I have to manually configure it and then it shows a good signal.
Now if I try to dial a number it just says "dialling" but doesn't actually do anything until it times out.
It also doesn't accept incoming calls, it goes straight to answer phone.
Everything thing except SMS works fine.
I downloaded the official T-Mobile WM6 and this also works fine now, I can make and receive calls, the service network was picked up automatically.
I would like to upgrade to WM6.1 with a cooked ROM but don't know how to fix the above problems? Thanks for any suggestions......
Well, try changing your radio rom, reading around it seems that different ones have problems with different roms ect.
Im running 1.46.30.10 on T mobile UK 3G (I have the same Verio II as you)
(radio rom list: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms )
Plus this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364216
Fastest rom around imo, and I have tried almost all of the WM6.1 ones.
New radio
Thanks I will try that radio and then do another WM6.1 upgrade
Hmm
I would upgrade with the latest shipped WM 6.0 first, which comes with radio anyway.
The Verio should work with DOPOD ROM from here, looks like .00 is made for US and UK, 30.10 is made for down under, and 00.10 is made for general use, at least that's where I read somewhere.
Solved
I have solved this buy going to phone/settings/band and changing the network type to GSM instead of auto.
I have also changed my phone to a Vario 3 and the problem was exactly the same.
I've been searching all morning does anyone have any tmo roms that are or are close to stock. I need to get there wifi calling working properly and cant seem to manage it on any of the cooked roms
To explain myself a bit more, I have my ATT Fuze unlocked and im now on tmobile US. I dont get service very well in my house so I use tmobile home which just routes everything through wifi instead of gsm network. however I cant seem to get it to work on any roms. Yet it works on my shadow phone I have.
have you tried tael's rom? i have the older version and my wi-fi works fine. have t-mobile myself. has it been working on the stock one?
wifi works fine its the [email protected], Im trying to dump a shadow 2009 (with little luck so far) to see what the sw is and if there is in fact a hw encoder required (uma)
Look if they have an update on their website. Usually a tmobile "update" is a complete ROM.
It is here on Tmobile's Dutch website...
Works like a charm ;P
You can download T-Mobile ROM from here: http://bit.ly/4yGeEV It's an official T-Mobile ROM, RUU_Hermann_TMO_HR_1.69.119.1_Radio_Signed_Raphael_CRC_52.33.25.17_1.02.25.19_Ship and it's 109MB large.
have you ever tried to change wifi-power-mode into "best performance"? just to mention it...

Let us know what the differences are. I'm using an AT&T based rom from the group, and have just changed the connection for T-Mobile.
Maybe I'm lucky, but GPS works, etc.
Looks like the attached Rom is based on the old 505 AT&T release.
iv been wanting to buy teh htc hd2 for a while, and now that it has been released here in australia it is only exclusive to telstra!! im going to stay with my current provider vodafone!
ONE problem....... the phone is installed with teh telstra stuff, which i don't want!!! as i would like to use the phone with its original settings, (without telstras software installed!!) therefore i would like the phone to its custom and manufactured settings!!
is this possible?? can anyone please help??
Quite easy to do - have just finished the same myself. The Telstra-branded version is not operator locked, so all you need to do is install HSPL, followed by any of the HD2 ROMs (official or otherwise) here. I've loaded a couple of different ROMs so far, and am still trying to settle on which one to use permanently. It should also work with SSPL, but I found the HSPL route to be quick and easy.
The alternate ROMs do not affect the phone's ability to function on Next-G (mine is with Testra for the time being), and I've tested it brefly on a Vodafone SIM as well, with no problems.
I'm certainly no expert on this, but I'd be happy to help if you need any advice or assistance.......
So using the Official WWE would remove the Telstra stuff? I would just like a standard HTC ROM.
Yup - loading another ROM gets rid of ALL Telstra customisations. No loss of functionality that I've noticed, and I'm sure that you can still access mobile Foxtel etc if you wanted, just by entering the appropriate address in the browser (not that I've tried)......
thankyou for you reply cheesekeeper!!!
im sorry to be a pain but i am new to this i understand how to install HSPL, but i would liek to know which rom is safe to use and where can u get a good one from? the OFFICIAl htc website does not have any roms as it only has an upgrade for the camera at this stage!
So which one should i use? could you please guide me to one, i would be happy with any that would simply get rid of the telstra stuff!! so nothing too complex!
PeterMav suggested using the official WWE as he wanted a standard htc Rom... (its sounds like what i want) now how do u do that and where is that from.
i have done quite a bit of reading for most of the day today and it hasnt been as succesful as i hoped, but i feel im getting closer in finding an anwer now!! so i thankyou for you help!!
i also have another question....when i purchase the phone, i understand that wen my vodafone sim goes in, the internet will not work! but im guessing wen i ring vodafone they will send me settings to the phone....NOW do i get the settings sent after i do a rom update or before?
i thankyou for any help possible
This Link has the official WWE from another thread here.
Only got my HD2 today and been reading since this morning trying to get as much info as I can before I flash it.
petermav,
to flash that rom do u still need to install HSPL on the phone or just leave as is and use activesync?? as on the official htc website it doesnt say to do so.
By the way would it be still ok to upgrade using that rom being its not specifically for Australia or is it?
I assume you still need HSPL i'm trying to find that out.
And it should be fine for us in Australia from what I have read.
Warranty issue
HSPL will void your warranty. Make sure you read the threads before FLASHING your ROM.
And as for changing to another ROM you can still use your phone with all its functions.
I'm OPTUS user and I have dZenkinZ ROM installed on my HD2 works perfect, and is stable with minimal BATT drainage.
Can you please tell us what RADIO version TELSTRA uses.
Radio version is 2.05.51.11 for Telstra
So can you flash without using HSPL everything i've read so far says you need it.

i havnt got teh phoen yet, so i couldnt tell you, i wana know if i can change teh telstra before i actually buy it, thats y i am asking these questions!
SAIED16, do u have to install HSPL?? the clip i watched in you tube named "htc HD2 (leo) unlock. How to flash cooked rom" showed that it did not have hspl installed at the 4.30 min mark. it had spl.
besides that even if i want to instal an official htc rom from their website will that work and not void the warranty when i purchase the phone??
Well I just FLASHED the official WWE ROM.
I used HSPL and then run the ROM all the Telstra crap is gone and so far it's working great.
Took a whole 3 minutes to do.
YOu may want to check once you update to a Vanilla ROM that the BAND Selection still includes the NextG Frequency, ie WCDMA 850Mhz, thats if you still want to use the NextG Network. If it is missing you need to add some entries into the Registry to be able to select the WCDMA 850 Band
To check what BAND options you have, goto Phone -> Menu -> Options -> Band Settings.

Hi pies, Im just curious does the Vodafone HSDPA network cover the 850/2100 MHz frequency that the Telstra HD2 is soley supporting?

I would hold off because if you want to use Vodafone HSDPA then the Telstra version wont have any or as much covereage as the European one, 850 MHz is only used by Telstra as far as I know, whereas 3, Crazy John, Vodafone and Orange all use the 900/2100 MHz frequency.

hi flashmore,
so you think i should wait for the phone to be open to all networks? (i spoke to htc and they said after then it shall be available to the open networks) i know telstra only has the rights until the end of march! so i guess ill wait till then!
thanks flashmore.

Nothing would change at the end of March Telstra will likely re-contract, however, just do some research and check to make sure my info and other info is correct. I bought HD2 from UK which comes standard with a 2 year warranty, AUS you will most likely only have one year warranty, mind you I have the hassle of sending HD2 OS if there are any issues. That is no big deal to me really.
The phone cannot be open to all networks on HSDPA (sort of) since Telstra are the only comapany in Aus using the 850MHz frequency, Telstra model also supports 2100MHz HSDPA so you should get some coverage but not everywhere.
AUS, Telstra HSDPA (NextG) 850/2100 MHz
US, AT&T HSPDA 850/2100 MHz
Rest of the world (including Australia) HSDPA 900/2100 MHz
So the summary If you plan to use Telstra only then buy a Telstra branded model. If you decide to switch providers you will lose some coverage with a Telstra (NextG) model.

Sorry I need to correct myself FLASHING to a none official ROM will void your warranty.
I used a HTC TOUCH HD, which I bought from TELSTRA. and was Telstra branded. I had to take for warranty claim, since I FLASHED to a non Telstra ROM HTC claimed they will not fix it because I tampered with the phone.
HSPL is like jail breaking iPhone. and you can flash from your SD, and with SSPL you need your PC. Also with HSPL you can revert to Official ROM if something goes wrong during FLASHING which means you could get away with warranty issues. Read post 7.

Telstra flashing
Hello I am hoping to flash an official ROM to get rid of the telstra stuff, but still use the phone on the Telstra network- specificaly the 850 3G network
So could I get confirmation from somebody that the 850 UMTS frequency is still available to use after flashing, and if so which ROM did you use. (note that the phone working after flashing doesn't necesarily mean the 850 frequency is working- you may just be using Telstra's inferior 2100 frequency.
Thanks
non Telstra HTC HD2 no next G
Hi, im older, and not real high tech savvy but my new HTC HD2 from ebay did not work with Telstra MMS,they sent me settings for other model because theres none on auto config site. OK got MMS but appears only E for edge I assume is 2.5G? I have tried all settings on net and fiddled now got no MMS and Telstra sent me to HTC for rom upgrade..there is none..SO.
How can I get NextG or 3.5G whatever on this phone,getting dropouts as in country area. I would be happy for Telstra branded if the thing worked on Next G. I know settings up the creek as when send mms test message I get reply Pocket NEWS :code is invalid.ha ha ha boy im gonna be iNVALID soon.
Any help would be great .need sort of step by step config thanks
@rockerseven
If you bought your phone off ebay it probably does not have the 850 frequency- check the back- if there's no telstra logo you don't have the 850 frequency. No 850 frequency means no access to Telstras (better) Next G 3g service. This is a hardware problem, you can NOT fix it with a ROM unfortunately. Can't help with the MMS settings sorry- I find it cheaper and easier to send emails via my phone.
Onto my question-
anyone in Oz flashed their Telstra edition HD2 with a (non Telstra) stock or custom ROM and had it still work on the Next G 850 UMTS frequency, and if so what radio did you use?
