[fuddymucker]

Hi Im new on here and so far the information I have found has been first class... thanks to all of you:)

I bought a mda vario off ebay and it had a few problems like wait 15 seconds to access sim so following threads on this forum I managed to unlock it and do an update I think.

it was showing at boot up ipl 1.06, spl1.06 and now shows ipl 3.08 and spl 3.08 and os 3.8.2.1

ok so i updated using a link from a tmobile site....

my question is ..this the latest update and how can i de brand it from showing tmobile (pink doesnt suit me)lol ...im on orange for my sins and cant seem to get it to access wap or internet or answer phone without dialing in 123 manually.
It keeps trying to connect to tmobile services and answer phone


also I want to try to get tom tom on it as i find the co pilot pretty naff can anyone advise me the correct version of TT i need for the vario

and yes I have spent many hours searching and reading the posts but cant seem to find the exact info i need... so I thought i would ask.

1.06!!!! :eek: very old version of wizard hahaha ok ok I need you to fill your signature please... folow the link on mi signature "Please fill your signature"...
When you have done it.... then

We need to talk about AKU ( it means Actualization Kit Update) its shown by the IPL and SPL.
Version 1.XX no AKU
Version 2.XX Aku 2 With A2DP Audio stereo for bluetooth headset
Version 3.XX Aku 3 with A2DP and Direct Push Tecnologies.

And we need to talk about chipset versions ok?
The chipset version are G3 and G4

The G3 shows ipl and spl version X.XX ok? in your case i think you are G3 and you have 3.08 ipl and spl

And the G4 shows ipl and spl version X.XX.XXXX

So 2.-
my question is ..this the latest update

Oficially yes!!!!
But here we have on our machines Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 and you have only WM5 with Aku3 (AKA: You have Windows XP service pack 3, and we have Windows Vista Bussines edition)
So you're not Updated at all :D

And 3.-
how can i de brand it from showing tmobile (pink doesnt suit me)lol ...im on orange for my sins and cant seem to get it to access wap or internet or answer phone without dialing in 123 manually.

Well,your present working rom is official T-mobile wm5 rom,so it'll display T-mobile sp;ash screens,but if you are only interested to replace the Splash screen only,then there are very cool Splash screens available here in this forum,download them and flash it.
Well,if you want to upgrade your phone to latest wm6.1 rom and you say your phone is CID unlocked then download the latest custom build wm6.1 rom from here,this forum and flash it,it'll automatically change all the Splash screens.
