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.

Which latest ROM for GPS and HOW to flash it ???

Pardon my ignorance but I am confused with so much technical info here. Loads of ROMs , radio roms, RUU, SSPL, NBH .... etc etc etc.
I have got HTC P3600, original, unlocked to any network, bought in UK from expansys. So not sure whether it got CID lock or not but certainly not locked to any network / no sim lock.
I want to know:
1. Which is the latest GPS enabled ROM available TODAY, which I can use to flash my device ? (where language remains English!! and bass or other bugs solved, if possible)
2. Is there a way to find out before flashing that whether device is CID locked or not? and whether it needs to be unlocked before flashing.
3. How to flash ROM ? Kindly, I need step by step guidance from A to Z.
Which files to download, which to execute first and basically everything you need to do in order to flash gps enabled rom.
I will be much obliged for this help and guidance.
Thanks.

Hello ausdim and everyone else,
I've also got an HTC P3600 and I bought mine from a shop and it came SIM unlocked. Do you think my P3600 is CID unlocked? and this rom http://rapidshare.com/files/21139137... p.exe%7C which you have suggested dr_s to download, what is it? Is it an HTC Rom?
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

i'm really confused on the roms
ok, here's are my simple questions
1. is the ROM RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11_Ship.exe and official ROM (e.g., is it a test ROM from HTC)?
2. I have an unlocked P3600; do i need to CID unlock to flash with the RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11_Ship.exe ROM.
4. i understand that the rom
LVSW_RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11 is a cooked ROM. Yes or No? What are the benefits of using this ROM.
thanks to anyone who answers my questions. i've flashed ROMS before and [like others] i don't want to brick my lovely device.

No. This was cooked based on the Dopod release.

I believe that this is the same ROM as the "ship" version you asked about.
I have tried both the Dopod ROM as well as the "ship" ROM, and my preference was to stay with the Dopod ROM. The green dialer skin did not apeal to me, and I had some other issues that I don't remeber at this time. The official Dopod ROM, however, (especially after being patched with Pof's radio update), has been great!

Swisscom branded Trinity has GPS and tomtom preinstalled...
May be I am late to update this..
For some days I am not following this forum but just got an update from a shop locally here and thought of adding my information.
Trinity
link here : http://www.swisscom.com/onlineshop/...andys&opn=O&sku=000000000000121030&lang=en-GB
swisscom Mobile Assistant XPA v1510
+ 1GB card
+ tomtom 6 alpine maps included user will only need to activate the maps.
At attractive price of CHF 999.
Looking at history of Swisscom devices, they are not locked. However, since all have unlok solution availbale, this will not matter.
I hope this helps trinity community..

Yes all true, a friend of mine just bought this package on a 2 year contract for CHF560. Now that is a good deal! His is not getting 3G...yet. I'm sure we'll be able to turn it on with a reg hack.

CID and SIM unlock

i have just bought one. Can anyone unlock it?
i want to up new rom and unlock my jade so please help
thanks anyway

any body can answer me this problem.

There is no way to CID / SIM unlock the phone currently, no HARDSPL or any way to flash cooked roms either.
This may change in the future but for now we have to wait.

hic hic so boring, still waiting....
i hope no longer we will find the way to unlock this ppc
it is very powerful, strong cpu but the store only 98,8mb.

This is not enough fot you? Only few programs must be installed on device, others can be on SD card. But with cooked ROM about 150MB can be free. I hope, somebody make HardSPL for this great PPC. Cruise is large and Diamond is ****...

so, any chance for cid & sim unlock?

Hi guys
just want to add to those voices on the need for the HARDSPL for this nice device. For those working on the issue - thanks a million! there are many of us waiting for progress! any update would be very welcome!
cheers

You should have asked in the Hard SPL thread, because cmonex follows that AFAIK. If you PM her, she'll have a look at this for you.

Getting rid of Branding...

Hi Guys,
i am completely new to this, so i could use a little help here...
I already looked up my chip (its a samsung) to help out for the HSPL, and i informed myself about the possibilities...
But i still got one big question...
Is there a way to flash a normal HTC ROM on my T-Mobile branded TP2 without using HSPL? Should i use Goldcard, and if yes, can anyone link me a good tutorial or how - to for it?
Because its anoying that you can't install skype oder any messengers and so on...
I would also upload my German T-Mobile ROM, if anyone would tell me how to backup it...
Thanks in advance

A ROM-Dump isn't really practicable because of missing HardSPL!
To get a GoldCard send cmonex a PM with the question for helping you! Got mine yesterday and the Stock HTC ROM isn't as good as my o2 Stock ROM!
BTW:
It's necessary to spend some money to cmonex for getting this little mod! But with her way of GoldCard, you can flash any Stock ROM straight from your PC to your TP2! And you will help developing HardSPL!

I hope its at least better than my stock T-Mobile, cause it really sucks and i don't get updates at all, so i still got buggy GPS and the + bug, which is really annoying...
But so far thx a lot for your help

I think it will be good for you to flash the o2 ROM as it has a huger amount of free memory and seems to be more stable than the HTC ROM, then flash Radio 3.46, which can be found here on XDA! For sure, after getting the GoldCard from cmonex/Olipro (),

Please read and search before starting a new thread.

need more information on your device is it gsm or cdma? are they cid unlocked?

GSM , not CID unlocked

You will need HardSPL on your phone(s) to flash anything other than the official ROM for the phone's branding/region etc. So if you put HardSPL on then you should be able to flash official English ROMs.
However, if you've got 5 phones you're going to have a problem. You're probably going to have to ask OliNex (the developers of HardSPL) for a price from them for HardSPL'ing 5 phones - that's too many not for it to count as "commercial use", I would think.

No one know how to fast contact mr Olinex ? i wrote mail. Still no news ..
