Hi
I have a UK T-Mobile Ameo which has the original shipped ROM (WM5). I would like to know of a way of dumping/backup the ROM so that if I upgrade to WM6 or Hard-SPL my device, and I inadvertently brick it in the process, then I have a ROM to fall back on.
Is there any way of backing up the ROM? Also is there a way of restoring the ROM to the device, should I brick it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Total noob at flashing so was wondering...
I've got a Vario II and was looking at dumping the ROM and putting on the HTC ROM.
If it doesn't sort out the issues I've been having like the screen alignment stuff how would I go back to the original TMob ROM?
Thanks in advance,
Colin.
BTW I'm upping my dumped ROM:
TMobile_Vario_II_1.21.110.3_WWE_Dumped_ROM.zip
It is not possible to flash the dumped rom, and it will not be possible for you to return to the original TMob ROM because there's no known method to dump / restore your full current ROM image using the bootloader yet.
If you flash it with another vendor ROM you'll need to wait until t-mob releases an official upgrade if you want to return the unit.
Thanks pof - that's what I was afraid of
I think I may leave it for a while
I flashed my tytn tmobile dutch phone to the cingular 1.34 but want to go to the original english Tmobile rom (no problem with vender id)
any one has the original rom available for me?
This cingular rom freezes the phone often!
Often, you can't upgrade until an official ROM was made by T-Mobile.
As far I know T-Mobile hasn't made ROM upgrades yet.
I could be wrong though, and interested in such an upgrade.
Every few hours my phone now is stuck!!! I hate this rom and videocalling is off....
I made a mistake upgrading to bootloader version 1.06... I need an official rom now...
Is there any other way?
Tnx!
Check the wiki, there are a some roms available there.
you cant flash another rom since the 1.06 bootloader enforces Vendor ID checking! otherwise i would have changed allready....
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.
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
i have 8525, and i installed WM6, with different applications and i cant get the voice dial to work and cant find any applications or roms, does anyone know how i can get it to work?
I'm pretty new to the whole flashing rom thing and I upgraded to the At&t rom not to long ago, but now my screen has issues and I need to return it under warrenty. My question is how do I downgrade it to the out of the box rom and where do I find it. It is a cingular branded 8525 by the way. Thanks
you upgraded to wm5 at&t rom?
Yea, I'm confused as well. Someone upgrades to WM6 or to a cooked ROM. Going to AT&T WM5 is either backward, or vertical at best. Doubt there's an issue going back for warranty since Cing/AT&T authorizes those kinds of 'upgrades'.
I apologize for the confusion, like I said I'm new at this.
I updated the rom to 2.15.502.3, upgraded the radio to 1.48, and upgraded to HardSPL 2.10 from Olipro.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That rom I downloaded seems like the exact same one I had. Should I find the rom that originally came on the phone or am I still under warranty with this At&t rom?
as long as its from AT&t your warranty is still A OK..
