Updating question

[niekth]

Hi,

Today I'm trying to update my T-Mob Vario 2. I want to put a new ROM on it. Anyway, I read it's better to upgrade using an SD card instead of using USB.

I don't know if the updating process really succeeded. When the bootloader says: "Update complete". What do I have to do? A soft reset? Or what?

I tried to install Hard SPL v7 and I want to check if it's really installed. What's the best way to check this?

Thanks!

(and yes, I've read the FAQ/Wiki)

Ah, mrvanx's guide didn't work for the last 2 hours but it's working right now. I'll read some more over there.

But my real question was: What do you do when your device says: "Update complete". A soft-reset?

[leo-chan]

it will soft reset itself and u'll get the "tap screen to start" screen...

you can check yr spl by going into bootloader mode (hold the power and OK button below the scroll wheel and poke the stylus into the soft-reset hole and hold it there for a while).. to exit just poke yr stylus into the hole again..

that didn't sound quite right :D hahaha!

yup. it should auto SR, but if it doesn't, help it along

Nice!

I needed an hour of 5 to read some stuff and to unlock my device, make it Hard SPL and put Black 3 on it :)

(Yeah, for the first time :))

Thanks XDA Community!

does anyone actually see a big difference between the roms as we keep flashing, i've flashed like 8 or so roms, and the only things i see different are from wm5 to wm6.....

just seeing how every1 else feels towards it and whether i should keep playing w/ it over and over...

btw... does anyone know why my wm6 always goes to the today screen after i wake it up again? it's not the today timeout option under settings.... so yeah... i thought a registry edit may have something to do it

I always upgrade from SD (seem faster than USB) and it never auto-softresets, so I manually do it with stylus. Never had problems.
