Have read quite a few threads here, but all these requests seem to be suggesting the i-mate ROM image.
Are there any legit UK T-Mob ROMs out there? I had an early UK ROM on it, but it used to crash when you recieved a call in standby mode, and BT used to come up with a trial period has ended message quite often, so I flashed it with the i-mate software.
Was wondering if there's a ROM to restore it back to T-Mob yet (but a stable version)?
TIA
There is an official T-Mobile (NL) 1.72.190 ROM out now.
If you like more add-ons maybe my (T-Mobile based) 1.72.902 ROM (which I will shortly update with the new 1.72.190 things) is something for you.
Plz search the forum for the threads.
It can be used on any of the T-Mobile networks without problem (as said by T-Mobile users in Uk and USA).
Are you referring to XDA III/PDA2K/IIs unit or XDA II? Reason I ask is because this is under the Blue Angel thread area.
there is a UK T-mobile rom for the MDA III ?????????????? Can you please tell me where I can get it? And will it work for my German Tmobile MDA III ??? (i am currently using the english pda2k rom on my german mdaIII)
THanks!

And thanks edsub, but it looks like you are talking about the wrong device

I have ordered a new Imate PDA2K from Australia through Ebay, haven't got it yet so I do not have all the data incl. all rom versions it is running under, however, Orange Partner, my Cell Phone provider has released a new Rom version on it's website, Orange_Israel_V1.72.187_Dated-3-2-2005.exe designated for the IMATE XDA II, (the same but without the sliding keyboard) which is the device they sell here in Israel, and which contains Hebrew language.
My question is, would it work on my new PDA2K?, what do I have to do in order to be able to reinstall the original rom in case the new one does not work, I have read the "Blue Angel for beginners" at wiki.xda-developers.com, however it is rather complicated, well at least for a new user.
Thank you.
I would not install the ROM for the XDA II, I really don't think the only change is the sliding keyboard. It's a different device and comes with dfferent hardware and I have a feeling that you are going to screw up your phone, especially since u are getting the phone from australia - what would u do if u screw it totally? U are stuck with a dead duck.
If I were U - I would not take the risk.
This is just my opinion.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, I thought so to, anyway there is a rom update at Club Imate, I think I will use that one.
From what I have read in the [email protected] forum, the update I was talking about in my question is the exRom, it appeares so in many devices in some posts.
Thanks again!
Although I own an o2 flavour Alpine ( XDA2i ) I run it with my Orange contract and was wondering if anyone knew where I could download the M1500 ROM and put it on my 2i.
Are they available on Oranges website like the XDA ones. I had a M1000 and I got the upgrade from there website.
Otherwise could someone upload it to here, please.
Is this feasable or am I just being a bit silly? Does the M1500 ROM differ greatly from the o2 one ie. any better applications, better radio etc?
Thank you
Ooh also, does anyone think that perhaps Orange will release a WM5 version?
Like the rest of us fed up T-Mob vario users i sent an email to tmob asking when we are going to get this blasted upgrade and the reply I got can mean one of two things:
- The ROM is going to be available real soon
- The person sending the email is mentally ungifted
Hello Philip
Thanks for your email about updating the firmware on your phone.
I'm sorry to hear that you still haven't been able to upgrade your MDA Vario. I can understand this must be frustrating for you.
I can tell you that there's the opportunity to update the firmware on your phone.
Please feel free to click on the following so you can do this http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/index.html.
Thanks again for taking the time to contact me Philip and I do hope you can upgrade your phone soon.
If you have any other questions about this then please let me know and I'll be happy to help.

Now from that I (probably rather optimistically) take that she thought the ROM would be available by the time I get the email so maybe they know something we dont (told you I was being optimistic).
Fingers crossed
don't hold your breath...
I emailed them months back, and had a phone call from one of the TMobile customer services guys a few days later, promising me the upgrade would be available to download "next week"..
That was around the easter bank holiday, so much for their promises..
looks like the good old generic email repsonse... giving you the location where the rom is located... no sign of a new one though...
Yeah had the same crap from them with my magician, overpromising and underdelivering. The hold up with this update of course being down to T-Mobile not being sure whether releasing AKU2 would screw up their blackberry sales.
Note to t-mobile: Blackberry sucks and overpriced whereas exchange is too complicated for most people to set up so you will still get your suckers paying for BB. Just give us AKU2 because if you don't then anyone who wants to use it will just use a different ROM and make damn sure that they never buy t-mobile again.
Hi Guys
My first post!
Herman
I notice you are using an o2 rom on your vario. is it any better?
I have had a vario for a week now and its too slow. i want to change to a better rom but do not know which to go for.
bhayani
Well welcome to the forums,
the O2 ROM does seem faster and definitly more stable. I was having quite a few niggles with the Tmob ROM in that respect. I still decided to overclock it though to increase responsiveness.
Im even using the O2 extended rom and just added the T-Mob GPRS settings:
Access Point: general.t-mobile.uk <-- .uk not .co.uk
username: user
password: pass
Hope that helps
Thx Herman
I have been onto the o2 site but they want my imei number and o2 phone number so couldn't really get any further. is there another way of getting the roms?
bhayani
take a look at the ftp site: ftp://xda:[email protected] in the wizard folder
U may need to unlock your phone before you can update, search the forums for instructions on flashing your phone with the rom.
I've just spoken to T-Mobile and I've been told that the release of the UK AKU2 update is indeed imminent. Apparently, the update itself is tested and ready, and the only delay is the meetings that are currently going on to decide the launch details.
Apparently, this update will also include or be released at the same time as the Blackberry Connect software in the UK.

i just wonder whether it will be worth the wait... whilst i've been waiting i've installed the kjam one, and a couple of others..
currently using cingulars one which summiter had "amended" - very good.
not sure if ill take up t-mobiles new rom when it arrives... it'd need to be something special...
To all of you using non T Mobile Roms out there. What keyboard layout has the alternative Rom given you? i.e is it still a UK keyboard layout?

Anyone heard any new news on this?
I read on a forum today that it would be launched week begining 19th June. here's the link for the source:
http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archive/2006/05/24/605828.aspx#618053
fingers crossed..! I think we've waited for too long...
I gave up - constant resets, whilst on the phone etc.
I now use the Qtek 2.17.7.2 WWE. it is so much more responsive & hasn't yet reset on its own accord yet. I've been using it for 2 weeks now & I've set up the push email for use via mail2web detailed else where on xda developers.
Wifi g works fine, as does syncing with my iMac (both OSX & XP).
I don't use MMS so I'm not sure if I've set it up correctly.
..by the time TMobile UK release AKU2.0 every other carrier will probably be rolling out their AKU2.2/2.3 implementation!
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
I found this on their website. Is this what you guys are looking for?
this is the link pointing to the current ROM. the new one, the one we're all waiting for, should appear on that website (hopefully soon). Maybe the 19th?
I have MDA III with windows Mobile 6
How can i update it to 6.1?
I called them the other day....they first said that they do not have the MDA Vario III in their product range
Once they'd accepted that they do have the MDA Vario III in their range, they stated they had no plans to provide a WM6.1 update.
To be honest, I don't really think the drone who took my call really knew what I was asking for
You can, of course, flash HardSPL then install one of the cooked 6.1 ROMs - check the links in my sig for more info.

i've come to the conclusion over the past few years, that T-Mobile are absolutely useless. they never release updates, not even from WM5-6.
Ur better off flashing a 6.1 ROM, they run a lot better anyway
If u need a hand, just PM me.
err that is not exactly correct. t-mobile released a wm6 rom for the vario II a long time ago. it can be downloaded from their website
Indeed it can:

However up until the date that it was released, T-mobile phone people and even technical support were denying that it would ever happen. One T-mobile technician I spoke to even advised me to go to xda-developers instead......
Good morning,
I am a newbie and I can't find what I am looking for. Sorry if this has been posted else where.
I own a TMOBILE - MDA VARIO III and having several issues. At present it runs Windows Mobile 6 profressional. I note from the microsoft site several of my issues have been resolved; plus it looks nice as well.
My question is;- How do I lay my hands on the update for Windows Mobile 6.1? Tmobile are useless and wont help. I can't obtain the update from Microsoft and HTC won't help as its a TMOBILE serial number.
Help.....
Hi,
You can find all the information about upgrading to 6.1 on the wiki

Also, you might want to read the rules about starting a new thred before you ask a question like this again...

This has been gone over a hundred times, if in fact you had searched you, would have found it.
WM 6.1 comes from Micro$oft, Htc " writes " the roms and include 6.1 in their roms.
T-mobile requests the rom from HTC with T-Mobile specific features added. then T-mobile releases the rom to their customers.T-mobile has NOT released a WM 6.1 rom to their customers yet.
If you still want 6.1, there are many custom roms on this site that can be downloaded to your phone.
Read the wiki. Don't start redundant threads and welcome to XDA,
According to a source, T-Mobile will hopefully be releasing WinMo 6.1 on the Vario 3 in July/August to coinside with the Vario 4 release dates....
