Hi guys,
I need to send my MDA Vario II in for repairs, and I'm currently running a WM6 upgrade. Obviously they won't be too pleased with this, so I'd like to return it to its original T-Mobile WM5 state.
I *know* there's bound to be a thread about it already, and I'm sorry, I haven't been able to find it!
If someone could point me in the direction of the original ROM, I'd be very, very grateful!
Many thanks,
Gav
EDIT: My apologies! I just found that T-Mobile UK have the WM6 firmware on their site now! How times have changed! That should be OK for returning it, shouldn't it? After all, I only have a problem with the screen, not the software...

I suggest you flash their version of WM6 before sending it back though. They might not be too happy about a cooked ROM especilly if it's going in for a warranty repair.

Hey m8 i hav sent like 5-6 hermes back all with custom roms, and they replaced it with no question after a couple of weeks of repairing
I know it's been said before but don't forget TM's WM6 ROM: http://member.htc.com/RuuDownload/T-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMUK.aspx?country=UK
(via tm-phonedownloads.com) - I'm running it right now partly out of laziness (and because the cooked ROMs on here didn't quite have all the elements I wanted, so I flashed the TM ROM while I made my mind up about which ROM I'd go with... And I've not reflashed yet!)

I have the Orange SPV M3100 and was wondering when (and if) they release a ROM upgrade, where will it be posted?
O2, TMobile and Voda all have download pages for various things, but Ornage don't seem to do this.
Now come on. Please put a ? on the end of your subject! I nearly wet myself when I saw your post, thinking that they'd pulled their fingers out and posted a new ROM :wink:
When they do post it, it will be at
http://www.business.orange.co.uk/se...4132772045&extarg1=Phone&t=SMEDeviceDownloads
LOL Sorry never thought of that :lol:
That's FUNNY!
I followed the link above to the Orange page about the M3100. It says that standby time is 6 days! ROFL!
I get about 1 day out of mine - and I hardly make any calls!
Being a little inaccurate - ok. Getting 18% of "official" figure - that's just plain old BS...
Have heard Orange won't be releasing an update until January so don't get your hopes up for one soon.

The link you provide doesn't have their first and only ROM. Does anyone have it. I need it very badly since I want to play with upgrading and using hard spl. I'm afraid if I brick it again while upgrading I'll have a chance to flash the original ROM.
Does anyone know when they will have an upgrade? Will they ever???????

I was waiting for 6 months. Gave up in the end and just took the cover and screen off my bricked SPV and put it on a knackered Vario ii.
I'm not sure what Orange's thinking will be with updating this ROM - if they start selling SPVs with Windows Mobile 6 they may just not bother releasing an Updated ROM at all (unless the need arises to release a newer ROM for handsets pre-installed with WM6 - in which case I doubt the older WM5 handsets will be supported by such an upgrade due to licensing issues).
Much as I would've liked to find a ROM update I really don't think they'll bother: there are no real issues with the original ROM (at least I never came across any).
I Cooked A WM6 Orange Ron Using Bepes Kitchen. It Has All Of The Orange Settings Installed, But It's WM6. Use The UK Orange Package Posted In Bepes Thread.

will that work?
Orange id needs to be 001 not 008 otherwise it'll say invalid vendor ID.
I've the same problem from November 2006 !!!!!! Please a rom with 001 cid !!!! Thanks from Italy
How does your cooked ROM perform? Does it have all the Orange settings for GPRS/MMS etc? Was thinking of cooking it as although I currently use WMXL, I would really like the Orange settings built in.

Bebes thread has a striped ROM(operator settings only I think). What I'm after is a complete shipped ROM for just in case I brick it again.
My intention is to keep the bootloader to 1.04 and use Hard-Spl. Then I'm able to upgrade to anything without worries.
Ok, Well The Cooked WM6 Rom Works Fine, @findus Yes All The Orange Settings Are Included, No Problems As Of Yet.
@sniper258 I Also Recompiled The Original Orange UK Rom From A Dump Someone Had Made, It Is The Original OS That Is Supplied With Your Orange SPV M3100. Search For Rom Reconstruction And You'll Find It.
Cheers
@sniper258 From The Sounds Of It You Still Have The Original Rom Installed, Could You Tell Me What Radio Rom It Ships With Originally So I Can Create A Proper Original Rom That Includes The Same IPL,SPL,OS And Radio.
IPL - 1.01
SPL - 1.04
OS - Orange UK 001
Radio - ??
Just A Quick Check You Are From The UK Yes?
Cheers
As stated the cooked rom as above does add all of the settings but the battery icon on the top bar does not work, after install it stays as the clock.
Changing the registry to show the via ms shell does not work either as the battery icon does appear but does not function.
@the.drone
Is This The WM6 ROM? I Didn't Know That Was The Case, I Use SPB File Explorer Which Uses A Today Plugin Whos Battery Meter Works. But I Can See How Annoying That Would Be.

Hello,
I have SPV M3100 (Hermes Orange)
I had problems with and I installed Rom HTC.
As I always have problems, I want to put back Rom Orange.
For Rom HTC, it was easy because it was one file .exe
But for Rom Orange, it is a Zip with 4 files .raw
How it is necessary to make?
Thank you
You downloaded a dumped rom, you can't flash this. You need a shipped rom, read the wiki.

Thank you in advance.
Well, I think you won't find it here, i've been looking for this for month without any success...
You've got the link for the roms here:

There are only two french roms, mine for the moment is the Qtek one.
But thre will be the new AKU3.3 Rom soon, probably Orange too.
A little patience....
Bye,
I asked orange switzerland about this; and I was told me that the next update is expected in jully 2007.
How sad :/
All,
I am looking for the original T-Mobile UK ROM does anyone have this or can point me in the right direction?
I have checked the WiKi and it only has the Hungrian T-Mobile ROM.
Thanks

I don't think you'll find one... to-date t-mobile haven't publicly release one nor any updates! but please prove me wrong... I could do with one myself... just incase
Hi,
Yes they have released nothing but I was hoping someone had managed to get hold of it.
Thanks

Hi Mousey_,
Have you been able to find out the exact build configuration of this dumped rom?
Thanks
T-Mobile 1.21.110.3 OS only no radio etc.
It's only on the CD that comes with the vario II at the moment and so would need someone to extract it from the cd and upload it.
I wouldn't bother as it eats battery - and they haven't decided when they're going to update it yet.

Can you confirm what is on the T-Mobile Vario II CD? I have the CDs but I am nor aware that any software is on there to get my ROM back to its original state should I start to look at other builds - or have I misunderstood your comment?
Thanks
when i originally had a look at the CDs i thought it was, but i'm hating my new rom so went to look today and it is in fact not on the CDs after all. sorry, i'm in the same boat now too, sort of.
My T mobile branded Vario II fell off my lap yesterday (in its case) Theres not a scratch on it and its only 4months old. Later on i had loads of missed calls and then realised it wont ring or vibrate or play mp3's.
Im currently running one of HTC's Roms, SPL-1.09 is my bootloader and im not sure how to reflash with the original T-mobile rom before i head back to the shop to see about a replacement
I keep getting a invalid vendor id, and from reading posts on the forums i know i need to do something with the cid so i can flash back down to the original rom.But im getting confused between a super cid and a cid? as what ive found below just mentions cid and not super cid.
Is this the file i need? HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a ? i just run the .bat file then install the orginal t mobile rom as normal?
What im basically asking is the above right to ahead with? as i just need some reassurance as if i cant blag one under warranty then ill have to use my insurance which as its my second claim in 6 months has a excess of £60
Yes i have looked on the forums for hours but cant see any info.
Thanks in advance should anyone help
EDIT well ive run the unlocker and supercid'd it but it still wont let me flash with the original t mobile rom?
ERROR:260 Update Error
im getting the above error?
Is all I will say is click on the mrvanx guide in my signature.

Hi Gavin01,
Good luck with the downgrade - I'd be interested to know how it goes. I also have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, and so far I've put HardSPL 7 and Radio ROM 1.41 onto it. I'm just trying to decide which WM6 ROM I want to try out
Anyway, I have at the back of my mind that I don't really know how to downgrade it in the case of a warranty claim. The MrVanx guide to downgrading WM5 looks ok, but I'd love to know how to put the radio rom back (I guess this would just be the reverse of the upgrade), but then finally taking taking HardSPL off. In fact I'd vote for a guide on it - would write it myself but I have to confess I'm rather a newbie to the world of HTC upgrades....
Cheers,
sparky
I have the same problem
I´d like to downgrade to original softbank settings. But they only accept warranty issues if you have the original cid? , right?
So putting the old rom back on is not my problem, "un-super-cid" it is.
I need help please too
Hello,
please excuse, but i have a question and i will not open a new threat.
I use tytn. I have installed the Radio Version 1.40 and the Black 3.01 Rom. I have used HardSPL and when i go into the bootloader i have Herm200 IPL 1.04 and Herm200 SPL 2.10 OliPro. My question is: it is not possible to go back to wm5 with the installer RUU Hermes 1.18....-Qtek_Ger_Ship. Because in this installer is a Radio Rom. When i will use it, i lost my Radio and i have No GSM. The only way to go back is with MrVanx Hermes downgrade guide. Is this correctness ??
( This is what i think after using the help-function and the wiki )
When this is right, so Please Please, can a specialist please build a litte .exe-File so that i can make a downgrade to my mw5? Sorry, i am not idle, i am not able to to this. And please excuse my english. I will say say thank you very very much for your helping. With the best regards from Berlin say Christian

Sadly it will only allow you to download the wizard rom and not the hermes.
You can find : http://rapidshare.com/files/17338983/ruu_hermes_tmhu_1.21.116.4_1.05.02.00_wwe_ship.exe
It's for UK TMOBILE
That ROM has Hungarian language settings and would show as the locale defaults i.e. date on today screen that when a hard reset is applied. I was also looking for an original UK ROM image and found one courtesy of the forums.
Thinking on is the default locale settings for a given ROM held in the extended ROM ? The reason I ask is that I flashed with a Hungarian image and then a UK ROM image, but the Hungarian locale settings are in play when a hard-reset is applied. Given I need to return the unit for a screen fault I obviously want to restore the unit to it's original state.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
