Which is the latest, greatest ROM???

Hi guys,
Been a while since I've been on here and it would seem there has been a whole load of ROM updates since I last updated my Vario.
It was originally a UK T-Mobile ROM, I CID unlocked and SIM unlocked it and updated to the latest I-Mate ROM.
Had a look in the FTP site and theres a whole selection of ROMs to choose from!
Just wondered if some kind soul could advise which is the best ROM to update to?
According to my phone, I currently have:
ROM version 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date : 2/6/06
Radio version : 02.07.10
Protocol version : 413.1.03
ExtROM version : 2.16.9.101
Its an I-Mate ROM currently, but I don't care which ROM I put on it, as long as its the latest stable version available.
Also, is there a 'clean' version of the latest ROM? ie no crap in the extended ROM.
Do I understand correctly that as I updated the ROM from an old AKU1 ROM, the CID unlock will still be in place or do I need to do the unlock trick again by following the post regarding unlocking AKU2 ROMs?
Cheers,
Steve.

No replies??
I know it sounds a newby question, but I have read and digested a lot of the info on this site and thanks to all you guys I upgraded my ROM form the standard UK T-Mobile image to the latest I-Mate image. But this was a while ago and it would seem things have moved on and I was just after a gentle prod in the right direction.
From what I've read, it would seem Molski's image is the fastest and most stable out there at the moment. Also i now know I have a G3 phone as the IPL/SPL is 2.16.
I'm still not sure what will happen when I try to flash a new ROM. I know i SIM and CID unlocked the phone for the first ROM update, but will that CID and SIM unlock still be in place to allow the upgrade to Molskis ROM image. I would rather not have a brick, if I can help it.
Also, does anyone have an opinion on Molski's latest ROM vs I-Mates 2.16?? Is it any quicker or am I upgrading for no benefit?
If no-one replies then I will carry on reading and searching for answers to my questions and I thank you all for doing what you do on here and hopefully there will be a thread somewhere that will help me out. If I do get an answer then I thank you for helping a not-so-new newbie down the road to Wizard nirvana. :lol:
Cheers all,
Steve.

Hi mate, sorry cant answer your question,
I have a locked Tmobile MDA Vario with the latest tmobile firmware.
How do I unlock it?
and what is the best firmware to use?
I have used the search on here, but dont understand the firmware codes etc and dont want to risk flashing a wrong update.
thanks

To unlock the latest phones, from what I have read on here you need to use the latest Lockiwiz program, downgrade the ROM to a custom ROM, then CID and SIM unlock the phone, then you can upgrade to the ROM of your choice.
As for the best ROM out there, thats exactly what I'm trying to find out!!!!

ok I downloaded Lockiwiz 0.3a and it didn't give me the unlock code.
I wonder if this is because I have installed the latest tmobile firware.
anyway, it will have to stay locked for now. thanks for your help, sorry I cant help you.

for sim unlock download awizard or lokiwiz extract enablerapi.cab and copy it to your device.
then run it on the device and run lokiwiz or awizard on your pc.
worked for me
there is no need to downgrade your rom unless you have a particular situation and you just want tot do that.
anyway to upgrade your roms with cid locked phones read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848
cheers

wo hoooo!
that did it, thanks, unlocked!! yippee

Well thanks to everyone for all their kind words and help.......... :roll:
Anyway, I have upgraded my ROM to Molski's 2.26 and it is fantastic. The phone is so quick, and I haven't even overclocked it yet! Very impressive.
So a big shout out to Molski for cooking this ROM, and long may he continue making stable, fast, easy ROM executables.
And also a big shout out to everyone on here. I know I made a sarcastic comment at the beginning but I still managed to search and find everything I needed to know, it just took many, many hours of rooting through to find the answers to my questions. But without all you guys the answers wouldn't have been there anyway.
It has also propelled me into making a noobies guide to this sort of stuff, so keep your eyes open for that, all you guys that keep asking about the latest ROM and how to upgrade.
Thanks again and i will be asking some more questions soon, matbe just to see if I get any sort of reaction at all!!!
Take care peeps,
Steve.

figure out if you have a G3 or G4 before you flash anything.

Aweeee !!!
You got a G4 device,better not download T-Mobile 2.26 Rom and flash it to your device,it'll certainly 'BRICK' your phone as it includes IPL/SPL 2.26,which is meant for G3 devices. IPL/SPL 2.26 are DOC chip 2.xx.xxx G3 Bootloaders,where as your device has DOC chip 2.xx.xxx1 G4 Bootloaders,see the difference ?,if you flash a G3 IPL/SPL 2.xx.xxx to your phone with IPL/SPL 2.xx.xxx1 G4 device,it will certainly Brick the phone.
Secondly, a G4 device cannot be CID unlocked like a G3 device,infect never try to CID unlock your phone. If you want to upgrade there's a method for upgrading a G4 device called 'SoftSPL & HardSPL'
Read the stickies in the G4 forum for this method.
Good luck

That t-mobile link doesn't work... It goes to the phones for sale when you try to download. Anyone currently have the usa t-mobile rom available? Pease pm me. Thanks- Bryan

The T-Mobile ROM will not brick your G4. It has both the G3 and the G4 IPL/SPL files and will install the appropriate ones. Try the wizard wiki, you may be able to find a download link for it there. I just checked all of the sites that I have bookmarked that would have it but didn't find it, sorry.

Hi, please be gentle I am new to this forum. I have a Tytn II sim locked to orange UK radio code 1.27.14.32. If I use the sim unlocker what radio code should I flash at the end of the process as I can not find the original code anywhere.
Thanks

Hi and Welcome Howard,
Any WM6.0 Radio should be OK. Most can be found in the Kaiser Radio's link in my Sig (once the Wiki's back up and running).
Also, you would be best asking this question in the Appropriate SIM unlocker thread.
Thanks,
Dave

[Q] Will flashing Dutty's ROM unlock my device?

Hey guys,
here is my situation: I purchased this Touch HD, locked for Orange UK:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390090712754&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I do not have it here yet, so I am not able to answer detailed questions about the software on itor anything of the sort at this moment.
I live in Germany, I use O2, I have no Orange SIM-Card.
Will following this tutorial "[TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]" using the HardSPL method and Dutty'S recent 6.1 ROM unlock this Touch HD or is there more to it than following this tutorial?
If there is more to it, what is the general concept to get my device unlocked and ready to go?
If the answer is in this ridiculously long thread please excuse my question, I haven't read the WHOLE thing.

in one word - NO
you will still need your device sim unlocked - there are many places this can be done for about €15
have a look at http://blackstone.sim-unlocker.com/ for one such place
(i am not afiliated with them nor am I recommending them - I have no experience with this company at all - use at your own discression)

So what do I do first? The olipro method and then the SIM unlock? or vice versa? Are there more steps? I really don't mind the 15 EUR, I just want to be sure to get it all in the correct order and not brick my device doing it
As far as I understand I do the following:
1. HardSPL and ROM flash
2. SIM unlock for 15 EUR
Will this get me to my goal?

The unlocker by Olipro includes Hard SPL. So just use that and then flash any ROM you like.
If you're not using the Olipro unlocker, you need to use the Hard SPL before you try to Flash ROMs.
Any more problems please use the existing threads instead of creating a new one.
Thread Closed.
