Heijdeman, do you mean that a r2sd backup can't be restored to a MDA Vario? I want to try the QTEK and K-JAM roms since I understood a backup could be restored.
In your opinion, is it imposible to revert to a T-Mobile image until they provide a ROM upgrade?
TIA, Cheers,
Cactus

Can you also write down how you made this backup? I have tried many ways with mine without success. I'm also trying to backup my t-mobile ROM before updating to K-Jam. However, it seems like t-mobile made a change to the bootloader.

on buzzdev.net there is a completle guide how to do this

Well I made a dump of the Rom, it's around a 100mb in size.
But I'm afraid it isn't going to help people. When rared it's 84kb in size...
And I can't seem to upload to the xda-developers ftp, anyone know why?

Hi Mesh,
I couldn't put my Dutch MDA Vario into bootloader mode. The photo + voice + reset key method is not working with mine. Could you tell me how did you do it while making the backup of the ROM?
Thanks,

Hi guys
Tomorrow I'll buy a T-mobile MDA Vario and I want to unlock it and change the language to English (as I live in France but I like it in English).
I will first try to backup the Dutch ROM and I'll try to upload it to the forum's ftp unless the existing RUU_Prodigy_1030710_110_10410_Qtek_NLD_Ship.exe is the one you seek.
Also if you have any tips and tricks on the howto backup and restore the ROM on the T-mobile MDA Vario (HTC Wizard) I would do it asap (tomorrow).

I've bought the T-mobile MDA Vario today did the specified steps to backup my ROM:
1) Sim unlocked
2) SuperCID it (they said that the warranty is lost if you do this but I didn't had any choice). Now other ROM's can be installed on the device.
3) Used the romupdate.exe and ntrw.exe to create a dump of my ROM on the provided 512 mb mini sd
4) Used my laptop's SD reader to dump the minisd on a file (~500Mb)
Until here is the backup process, next is the restore process
5) Used ntrw to write the dump file on the minisd
6) Put the minisd in the vario and power it up by holding the voice comm and camera buttons
7) Pressed the voice button when the message Install from SD card appeared
8 ) The Install was succesful and then I rebooted the Vario and had the same install procedure as the first time that I boot it. During the first one as during this one the screen freezed and I manually rebooted, but I think that trying to press the Start button will un-freeze it.
If anyone needs my ROM's dump, let me know.
Happy new year to all
PS: Additional infos
ROM Version : 1.3.2.3 NLD
Rom DAte : 9/29/05
Radio vers : 01.04.10
Protocol vers : 4.0.13.17
ExtROM vers : 1.3.2.103
ModelNr: WIZA200

YESSS!! :lol: Please i need your ROM backup can you put it on FTP?
your the man :wink:
thanksss

yes pls upload

would have been great if you used a smaller SD card for the backup, anyway its a start for many who want the dutch vario rom.

Making the Backup
Hi all,
I'm trying to make a backup of my MDA myself before flashing a new ROM.
When connecting my MDA to the USB cable while holding the camera button I get the three colours screen and my Windows XP detects a new 'USB Device' and tries to install a driver for it.
It detects the MDA in a different way than when connecting it normally. When connecting it in this way, no driver is found.
I don't know if this is related, but when running the romupdate_115.exe, it takes a while until I get the program screen and in the list of ports, the USB is not present.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help.

MDA 3 English ROM Upgrade

I just got a MDA 3 T-Mobile which is obviously in German. Someone sent me to english ROM, but it is a .nb1 file, and I am not exactly how to upgrade the device. Should I use XDATools? I am not sure what loader to use, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
NB1 file
Can you post the file?
Thanks
If someone can help me upgrade mine...
I get an error when trying to load the english ROM for the MDA 3, it says that the device is not connected, I have been able to copy the german ROM, off the device, but can't seem to load one in, or copy it to the SD Card, anyone have any ideas?
why don't you share with us on what you have and maybe someone here would be able to do something and bring the project to completion. so why don't you share your file with us?
Sure, do I simply upload the file here? Or i have to host it myself?
T-Mobile MDA III German ROM.
Here it is, someone please help me find a way to upgrade the ROM on the device, I think the problem is finding the correct bootloader...Thanks
Uploaded file using FTP, Filename is NKT.nb1 in the main directory
Before running the upgrade are you disbaling usb in activesync and then entering bootloader mode on your phone and cradling it?
No, I havn't tried that, ActiveSync was running, with USB connected, I am not sure how to go into bootloader mode, I tried holding power button and soft reset, that didn't do it though.
I also tried holding down the power button, center button on the directional navigation pad, and reset button with stylus and that just clears the data.
Managed to get into the bootloader, problem is now that i unchecked USB connection in ActiveSync, XDATools says please connect your XDA, it cant find it now, is this the correct way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated
you may try to refpash XDA3 through the SD card. I've seen several posts on doing this for XDA2, but cannot find. Probably the process should be the same except for reflashing GSM ROM.
You'll also need an english extended rom.

Have you successfully dumped existing ROM to SD-card with bootloader? Like in this post: http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62&PN=1
You need to dump only WinCE ROM. Then reflash this ROM back.
If you'd succeed - then upload your SD card contents somewhere and I'll try to integrate english rom into it.
And have you tried to run the XDA2 upgrade tool? What does it say?
Hi,
i did everything you said and it works fine but i am unable to see the datas from my SD Card now. The MDA3 or my Cardreader want to format the card. Otherwise it wont let me take a look at it.
PS: i can show you the ext. ROM, maybe that helps?` :roll:

Well you have 4 problems and one thing great that is going for you!
On the posative side you have the Radio 1.10.00 which we all want to get our fingers on, this will gain you many points when it comes to helping you.
Now to your problems
1) You have a PH20B1 which is a none camera rom. As you have read on wiki you need to fix this but you cant as there is no tool that works on the new rom encription (at the momnet its under developemnt) so you are going to get a device id error.
2) Your rom number is high and thus the only WWE upgrade that will work will put you back to 1.22 (if you can fix problem 1). Now this is infact a good rom and as you see I am still on it.
3) You wnat to cahnge to WWE and thus you will be confronted with the country code error, which again you cant fix due to tha lack of a tool.
3) You have no sd card, which is a shame and they are cheap.
What you could try.
There is a fix/hack for the county code issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=98811#98811
Now maybe this works also for the Device ID, I have NO idea and have never tried the fix/hack myself.
I would think that as you are the 02 you would be able to use the o2 uk rom, again you would need to try it. (it is or was on wiki)
On the 02 UK rom, extract it and run the BaUpgradeUt.exe without the fix.bat
Also try the i-mate 1.22 of wiki with the fix bat.
What ever you do, delete the radio_.ndf form any upgrade folder for I am sure you want to keep the 1.10.00 radio.
This is all safe as long as after you have started the BaUpgradeUt.exe your do not go further than the screen that tells you what rom you have and what rom you are going to install. After that, well you could end up with a brick.
So you need a SD card to save your self or you need to find the German O2 Ship file to reflash if it goes bad.
Both options would again give US the radio 1.10.00 and I am sure you will find a few others that will help you in the hope that they can get that radio.
Viel spass!

T-Mobile Vario Unlocked and using Orange! Now to flash ROM?

Hi,
Thanks to the very clever people over at www.imei-check.co.uk I now have an unlocked T-Mobile Vario.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
I now wish to know if I can flash my unlocked Wizard with an Imate K-Jam2 flash?
I know there is another post on flashing the the Qtek 9100 with the K-Jam but I dont know if the T-Mobile Vario will pose any different issues or problems.
What I want to know is :-
1) Can it be done, can I flash my T-Mobile Vario with a K-Jam2 ROM?
2) How do I make a backup of my T-Mobile ROM before taking the plunge?
I am a Sony Ericsson P900 convert so please be gentle with me on your responses. I'm no expert but have got this far (Unlocked) by reading these and other forums.
If any of you can help out I would be most gratefull.
Cheers
Lee
I have (had) a Vario from T-Mobile Netherlands. I unlocked like you and ran the ROM upgrade utility for Qtek 9100, available for download on :-
http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/
It works fine. My Dutch phone now talks to me in English.... phew!
@belgilux
What are the advanges of the qtek rom over the vario ??
Niets dat ik kan bespeuren. Enkel is ding dat zijn in WWE - wereld Wijde Engels - dit is good voor mij aangezien mijn Nederlands niet zo goed is. ..
ok thanks ,
mijn nederlands is goed , dus hou hem liever in nederlands
grtx, arnold
Hey, guys, I have the same problem - I want to change the OS from a german to en english one. My device is the XDA Mini S from O2 Germany. Do I *really* need to pay for unlocking first or I can just flash it?
P.S. How did you back up the ROM before the flashing?
hello ingenious ,
as far as i know , you have to unlock it first otherwise you can't acces the bootloader.
buckup of your old rom can be done (only after unlocking).
you need the program romupdate.exe
disable activesync on usb connection
turn off phone
connect usb cable while pressing camera button
start romupdate
chooice usb connection
enter 'r2sd all' this coppies your phone rom to your sd card (sd card will be erased !!!!!)
next step is to dump the sd card to file to store.
you need ntrw.exe and sd card reader
in a dos box in a dir with ntrw enter 'ntrw read dump.nb1 drive_letter_of_reader:'
that will dump you entire sd card to file.
to restore , but it back with ntrw write .......
reset phone while holding voice an camera button and chooise restore from sd card.
good luck , arnold
p.s. i'm wrinting this out of my memory so forgive me if i have something wrong.
Hey, thanks very much
Just a thing bothers me still... If I unlock the phone (i.e. replace the boot loader) won't I just lose my warranty from O2?
mhh that doesn't worry me to much,
officiali it will only void your warrnaty if they can proof that that is the problem.
if not they can not hold it against you (in holland that is) , but you may have to 'fight' for your warranty.

I have successfully replaced the ROM on my MDA Vario with a K-Jam ROM and now I want to go back to the original ROM. Following the instructions by arnoldl earlier in this thread I created a backup dump.nb1 file and used ntrw_189.exe in a CMD window to dump this to a file. This took bloomin' ages since I have a 1GB card - very tiresome!
Anyway, I have now reversed that process to copy the dump file back to the mini-SD card but when I hard reset my Vario I do not get a prompt to restore from the SD card. I only have options to restore to original settings or cancel.
I have allowed a hard reset to complete and the mini-SD card does not even register in the Vario. Removing and reinserting does nothing. I've tried a hard reset twice and still no joy.
Assuming I have successfully created a working ROM image on my mini-SD card are there any other tips or options for restoring it to the Vario ROM?
anyone knows the keys to press for restore an image from sd card ?
I have tried all combinatiosn of keys, but nothing are working
regards
sorry , it is hold camera and voice comm button while resetting.
previes state must be on!!
grtx arnold
Thanks for that. I just realised it says hold camera and voice comm rather than comms and voice comm, like you would normally do for a hard reset.
I've tried a boot with the correct buttons and could see nothing at all on the screen. I now realise there is something but without a backlight it is nigh on impossible to see. Anyway, I spotted that too late and started button mashing to try to get the thing to spring into life. It is now staring at me with a big clear white (lit) screen that dims briefly periodically. I now have no idea what is going on and whether this is the correct behaviour or not.
How long should the reflash take? Will having a 1GB card mean it takes 8 times as long as a 128MB card as it has to read the whole thing? How do I know if this is working OK?There are no progress bars or anything - just a plain white screen.
i did say comm and voice , but i just changed that
reflash was prety fast when i did it , within a minute i thought (256mb)
Oh dear :-( Mine's been blinking at me for 15 minutes now.
I just restarted the process and I managed to see a "Format BinFS Success" message and a progress bar at the bottom which I think said "Upload OS" or something like that - too difficult to read properly in today's miserable grey daylight. But I'm now staring at the plain white screen once more.
Maybe my ROM image is fried. Any ideas how to get hold of a clean T-Mobile UK MDA Vario ROM file?
EDIT : Further info......
Bored of the blank white screen I pressed the reset button on its own. The device reset and this time with the benefit of the backlight being on I could see the Format BinFS success message, a couple of checksum checks and something about downloading ROM and extended ROM. This all took only a minute or two, which seems positive. But then I saw a message about formatting FAT (or FAT32?) and while that was being displayed the screen faded/disolved to plain white and has resumed its periodic dimming.
Unfortunately I now have HTC Innovation and imate branding all over the thing so I can't just pop it back to T-Mobile to fix it. I wish they had a full ROM upgrade/replace image in a .exe, like qtek and imate.
hello,
what means "previes state must be on!! "
i have an 512 mb card and no chance to boot the sd. Has anyone
try the qtek german bin on the xda ftp server here ? i write this
image via ntrw on my 512 mb card, press the camera and voice button and also reset, but the sd card want recognize ...
help! I want this german qtek rom on my wizard.

i only got in this mode when resetting with the buttons pressed when phone was on.
when i first shut it down and then reset it didn't work.

Having left the white screen for a couple of hours there is no sign of anything useful happening. I reset the device and now I am dumped directly to the bootloader screen - there seems to be no software on the device now.
So it appears I can only get this thing up and running again with the k-jam ROM (or presumably Qtek) by running the .exe ROM upgrade file. But for me my option to go back to native Vario software seems to have vanished forever. Maybe I'm just really unlucky but this might serve as a warning/caution for others who want to flash their Vario.

Debranded MDA Compact II ROM, 'Qtek' Style

now obsolete
new aku2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279908
so am i right in presuming that the gprs settings and phone settings are present in the rom? if not, how do we find them?
ALSO:
T-Mobile are releasing a rom update this month (ie this coming week!) so it might be worth looking at what they have done, not just for wifi fix but any other maintenence changes. Apparently they do alot of testing on their roms so there might be useful stuff there.
t-mobile gprs and wap settings are part of the extended rom. the 3 cabs files that begin CAB-Customization-...
i didnt include them as i'm on O2. This is more like a 'Qtek' version for the charmer, a universal version. doesnt include any operator specfic content.
looking forward to that update, hopefully its aku2, everyone else is releasing theres at the moment.
SDIO
What about SDIO drivers in this debranded OS?
so if i back up my current rom cabs and then install this, if it all goes pearshaped, i can relaod the origional and not end up with an expensive paperweight?
i wanna do the deed, but am scared as hell with it being my first PPC and only a few weeks old at that.
but anything to speed it up, its like im running windows or something.......
oh!
:wink:
only way you could mess up is if you pull the plug or have a power cut! while uploading the new os. remember to backup all your contacts and stuff as you'll need to hard reset.
you can start all over again if it doesnt boot or something by using the install package on the t-mobile site
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
just go into the phones bootloader, with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable until the 3 color boot screen comes up and run the install package to go back to factory.
It worked!!
Dear dave106 and all;
i tried your fantastic upgrade yesterday. This was my experience:
1- I works like charm!
2- you might find it easier to use Total commander to uncheck 'system' and 'read-only' in the properties of the windows folder on your charmer, before Unlocking CID (to avoid any error).
3- alternatively you might use Lockiwiz 2b from this forum to unlock and unlock CID first.
4- the ROM upgrade went fine, showed some error messages on the charmer screen (nothing to worry about) but did not indicate an end. I unplugged it after 20 minutes. It rebooted on itself et voila, it was up and running.
5- Changing the boot scrren went very smoothly.
6- I noted that the T-mobile customization (after the new config.txt) did not install at all. I had to manually install the CAB listed in the config.txt file to reload the MMS and GPRS settings.
But now my charmer has no T-mobile crap on it...
However, i did not notice any dramatic change in speed....
Ill check your unbraded rom for wifi sdio capabilities over the next few days (on a 'just in case' basis). I'm just recovering from a totally borked pagefile on my main pc so ive been too busy to try as of yet.

thats a wizard, so you can just cid unlock it and install the imate or qtek wizard roms. the mda compact 2 is unique to t-mobile no other operator has it.

Just in case: How do you flash back to WM5?

Hello all,
First of all I am new to the forum and a beginner with regards to pda phones and upgrading software etc.. I am switching from the blackjack phone to a treo 750 which I recieved today. I have read alot of good things about WM6 ( the unofficial version), which I downloaded and saved on my computer. I plan on giving it a try, I believe the instructions are pretty straightforward on how to flash to WM6, now the question is if something goes wrong or for some strange reason I don't like WM6 and would like to wait for the official version, how do I flash back to WM5. Take it easy on me, I'm a newbie.
Thanks in advance.
I saw the answer posted somewhere in the main WM6 thread. You follow the same directions, but you need the WM5 rom. I'm pretty sure I saw someone post the download link for the WM5 rom.

First of all I am new to the forum and a beginner with regards to pda phones and upgrading software etc.. I am switching from the blackjack phone to a treo 750 which I recieved today. I have read alot of good things about WM6 ( the unofficial version), which I downloaded and saved on my computer. I plan on giving it a try, I believe the instructions are pretty straightforward on how to flash to WM6, now the question is if something goes wrong or for some strange reason I don't like WM6 and would like to wait for the official version, how do I flash back to WM5. Take it easy on me, I'm a newbie.
Thanks in advance.

I forget who the OP was... so my apologies for not giving credit for these:

OR

Those are the WM5 roms from Cingular. You don't need both, but I posted both just in case one link stops working.

Thanks a bunch, your help is appreciated!
does anyone know where to find the latest at&t Treo Rom for the rebranded at&t Treo 750 TREO750-1.13ATT
The ones listed are for the cingular branded 750.. not that there is much difference except at&t startup and shutdown logos and the alpha tag displays correctly..
Vodaphone UK WM5 ROM
As I am sellling this and it has the AT&T ROM on it, where can I get the Vodaphone or a generic WM5 ROM if asked to flash it back please? And it is just a case of doing what I did to put WM6 on here?
Thanks.

Thanks for that. Knew I had seen it before but couldn't remember where!
Where can I find the ATT rom? I just got my phone last month and I MIGHT have to reflash back to WM5.
Ware cen i get WM5 Rom Unlcocked and Unbranded ?
I am having a little trouble flashing back to WM5. I have downloaded the Cingular Rom and did what the instructions told me to do.
I loaded the CHeeDIAG (Misspelled?) file to SD Card and then press and hold the Button below the volume buttons then press the Reset Button, but this is where the problem starts. It should ask me to press the Power button to start, but nothing happens. All that happens is it shows a screen saying "Loading". I have waited for at least 30 minutes and nothing else happens. What I am doing wrong? Thanks for any advice.
Is there an AT&T version of the rom floating about? I have a 750 on trial and would love to try wm6 but would need to get it back to factory if I decide to return it.

Edit: Nevermind
I am having the same problem trying to flash back to WM5, I need to send my phone back to AT&T for a warranty exchange but I can't manage to get the WM5 firmware back on it

Anyone knows where I can get this? Spotted a dead pixel on my Treo and I need to flash it back to make an exchange. Tried the Vodafone ROM but had trouble unlocking the extended rom (had the infamous "inserkey failed" error).

I have a friend that wants his Cingualr Branded Treo 750 flashed back to WM5 as he is doing a warranty swap. I have downloaded the files listed on this thread, and am getting the same results ashrobo got, when I put the freshly formated (FAT32) memory card in with the CheeDIAG.nbh file in and reset into upgrade mode, I get the following;
0058002
Loading...
It never doeas anything else. If I try to flash it with the ROM image, It gets as far as the OS section then fails. Any ideas?

Disregard
I found the thread that said you don't need to run the diags first. He is now flashed back to WM5.
