Just got a new Vario today. System info reads:

ROM Version: 2.21.2.6 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.19.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: 2.21.2.109

MUST be, yeah?

Yes it is - I read on another forum that someone recently got a Universal (MDA Pro) from a T-Mobile store in the UK with the new ROM on it.
Hope they will soon be posted on the T-Mobile Website.

Could you copy it onto a storage card and post it on the ftp server?
That would be great!

Give me a quick rundown on how to do that and I'll gladly oblige!

nforsans

I don't know but I know it is possible!
Can anybody help please with the extraction and upload of the new T-Mobile ROM?

I found these instrcutions:

Download aWizard 1.3b2

Run it, run the RAPI server using the 'e' command, wait till it starts, unlock the CID using 'u', then you can backup using the 'b' command, give it a name to backup to, and wait 15 or so minutes and it'll backup your GSM, OS, and Extended roms.

It comes from this place:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43399

Can anybody give hardylane detailed instrcutions to backup and upload his new rom on the server?

cheers

Hang onto your hat folks!

cool!

I attach a file with more detailed instructions which I downloaded from the FTP server. Just in case you need these.

tell us how it goes.

Thanks :D

Right... first of all, unlocking wasn't necessary to dump them, using that aWizard program.

Secondly, it won't let me upload!

nforsans

16th June 2006, 04:45 PM

right...

The link below tells you about the FTP server
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47464

Are you using Opera? I know it does not work on Opera or Firefox, you would have to use IE.

Does it help?[/url]

So two questions:

1) How would I put this dump onto my vario - forget this I actually got off my a** and used the search function.
2) which AKU is it ? ie can the clock be at the top instead of the battery icon

hardylane

16th June 2006, 04:48 PM

Ahh I see... different login for uploading.....

OK, a RAR file with all the dumped stuff is winging its way onto the server... should be there in about half an hour.

I've also noticed that T-Mobile have enclosed a booklet about the new AKU 2 features.... I'll try and scan it for y'all.

I'm quite excited to be the first to bring everyone this little exclusive!!!!!!

Do I get my name on msmobiles and coolsmartphone?... no... thought not...;)

well, I think you would deserve credit for it!!

Is it your first Vario, or is it a replacement?

hardylane

16th June 2006, 05:02 PM

First Vario....

I'm an ICT network tech and picked this lil' beauty out as my next upgrade. Wanted Vario II but it'll be out too late. I was all set to put the QTek ROM on it till I noticed the revision date!

It's a lovely piece of kit, and I've only had it for four hours!!... hehehe

nforsans

16th June 2006, 05:05 PM

it is a great device really - I jumped on it as soon as it was released on TMobile last November. You won't be disappointed!

Thanks again for your contribution - that's great.
I hope to be able to download it later today.

Cheers Cheers Cheers :D :D :D

10 points to you sir!

I've been waiting for this for months!

Any word on the upload?!

I've been using the T-Mobile USA test rom for the past week or soo...

ROM version: 2.24.10.1 WWE
Rom Date: 4/17/06
Radio Version: 02.25.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12

Not had any problems with it up to now - perhaps TMUK will wait for this to pass the testing process before they post upgrades on their website.

hardylane

16th June 2006, 05:08 PM

No prob at all..... I'm keen to hear what people think about the new ROM, because I don't have anything to compare it to!

since i have already put a revised rom onto my T Mob wizard, would there be any advantages to putting the T mobile rom on?

currently on

Rom 2.16.9.1WWE
radio 02.07.10

I must be an idiot. I just got my Vario so it has this ROM on it. I did the camera speckle and brightness fix, and apparently my picture quality has went down from when it first started. It might just be my imagination though....

hardylane

16th June 2006, 05:14 PM

ROMS ARE UPLOADED... GO FOR IT!

nforsans

16th June 2006, 05:18 PM

What's the filename? I can't see it as yet!

hardylane

16th June 2006, 05:23 PM

Go into \uploads... its the one with the long filename

Edit: Moved it to safehaven on ftp: /Wizard/Roms/Tmobile (eDsuB)
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/

gazzrenn

16th June 2006, 05:33 PM

well, thats that downloaded... no idea how to install it in that form though :S

nforsans

16th June 2006, 05:34 PM

I think we need the installer.
Can anybody give us the instructions?

hardylane

16th June 2006, 05:46 PM

It was ripped using that aWizard program and so I assume you use that to upload

nforsans

16th June 2006, 05:51 PM

yeah, but it does not say how to install it on our varios!
I am currently looking all over the wiki for the answer, and I have not managed to get the answer yet :?

I don't know what to do with the .nba file.

I am sure others can help.

Please please please please please please.....

To write the files to the Wizard you use the aWizard program.

BUT..... it doesn't like the Radio ROM... the one that's been uploaded uncompresses to something around 720K but the aWizard program only offers up ROMs it finds that are around 2.6Mb.

So, either aWizard doesn't like these new ROMs and thus failed to create the Radio ROM correctly, or else it wasn't created correctly, or.... maybe I'm just plain mistaken !!

nforsans

thanks - no luck then...

Any other suggestion as to how to install on our wizards?

2) which AKU is it ? ie can the clock be at the top instead of the battery icon

Hardylane, check Start>Settings>System Tab>About The second line should say something like
"OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)" The last few digits of the build number indicate what AKU it is--in this case mine is AKU 2.3. What AKU is your ROM? TMo is prob releasing 2.3 as well.
