Hi guys
Just a quick question and I hope you guys can answer me.
I have got the MDA Vario with T-Mobile and have upgraded the ROM to 2.17.7.2 WWE (this is the Qtek Rom) and it works just great.
My question is, however, can I downgrade this ROM to the original T-Mobile ROM it came with?
I am wondering since I want to send the phone back to T-Mobile but am worried if they see I have upgraded it they will not take it back.
Please help.
Thanks kindly
You'll need to use lokiwiz to unlock the device and then reinstall the opriginal ROM. As you have an AKU2 ROM you'll need to downgrade the ROm first to an old custom QTEk ROM and then run lokiwiz to unlock then re-install the ROM. There s along post on this forum or the upgrade forum on how to do this. There are alos posts re putting the device back into it's original state if you need to ship it back to a vendor - can't find them just now but would suggest you trawl the forums... painful though it may be
Hey thanks loads. I have looked around to try and find how to restore everything but can't find it yet. I'll carry on looking but if you can suddenly remember where they are I'd appreciate it
Also, do I have to downgrade the QTek ROM first, or can I just install the T-Mobile ROM straight away?
Thanks again

Does it matter that the link above looks like it is for US? I have UK T-Mobile
DaveyG th solution is explained at http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...IBwAAABi/2UG&bcsi_scan_filename=viewtopic.php
If you want a TMo UK ROM got ot the TMo UK Site http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
Thanks JoninLA, the phone is unlocked using Loki already as that is how I upgraded the ROM, but I will make sure I have unlocked it and then install the original ROM from the T-Mobile site.
Thanks so much again, now I should be able to send it back, providing it all works...

Hey folks,
have an T-Mobile SDA Business (the black one) and I have to update the ROM (don't ask why), so I thought about updating it to the QTEK-ROM for the corresponding device without any branding as my T-Mobile has.
My question is: where can I find one and which is the HTC Codename for the device? Is it the HTC Typhoon? English or german ROM doesn't matter, because there's also an official T-Mobile ROM for later setting it back to german before I'll sell it (if ever). I think that even in the english Version I can switch the T9-language to German, right?
I also have an MDA Pro with QTEK ROM which works better than T-Mobile ROM for me.
I've searched the XDA-dev-FTP but didn't find anything.
Any information would be great.
Regards,
NiTeSHiFT
The SDA Business is known as the HTC Feeler, but often known as a variant of the HTC Typhoon. The Typhoon and the Feeler use different keyboard drivers so you must be careful.
I'm afraid I don't know where the ROM is.

Thanks for the info about the HTC Feeler. Didn't knew that. I knew only the HTC Typhoon, found and installed that ROM and found out that 2 of my Keys didn't work the way they should ;-) Actually the didn't work at all.
So I flashed the new german T-Mobile ROM and have to use that one.
But actually I want to buy a QTEK 8310 but have to chek if I get my SDA Business repaired. The lower right key doesn't work anymore, but I didn't do anything. Hope the warranty catches up.
If you want to, you can try upgrading your SDA Business with the latest German ROM from T-Mobile here: https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_sda.htm
This should fix your button problem. Good luck!

Thanks for the hint, but as I mentioned in the posting above, I flashed the QTEK, found out, that it didn't work how it should and flashed back the newest T-Mobile ROM in German.
"So I flashed the new german T-Mobile ROM and have to use that one. "
Thanks anyways
So you're saying that you can't get the phone to ActiveSync with Windows? I'm having the same problem at the moment and I'm looking at whether it is possible to flash an image from a mini-SD card. If you find anything about this please do let me know.
HI

Follow this instruction, then you can install any 2.xx rom on your MDA vario, I have done it over and over again on my MDA Vario G4 chip with no problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
thanks,

you're welcome. Thanks to the very helpfull forum.
Hey
New to this forum. I've read through many of the threads but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Sorry for being a noob
I'm about to buy an Australian Version of the Imate KJAM aka HTC Wizard.
1. Which program would I use to backup the rom/everything etc so I can go back to original mode?
2. I've been reading about upgrading to WM6.0 Does this run faster than WM5.0? And which of the custom packs would be best?
3. Why is it recommended that to flash to T-Mobile's base 2.26 rom, then flash NBD 7.6. What is the point of this? Arn't these both ROMS? It would just overwrite the T Mobile 2.26 rom? Can someone clarify this for me.
Thanks!!

1. I don't follow this question. What exactly do you mean, "go back to original mode"?
2. WM6 is superior to WM5. Since you've been reading a lot of the forum, you know that there's a good bit involved in upgrading.
3. IPL and SPL are the "Initial" and "Secondary" Program Load. If you think of your phone like a computer, it's sort of like the BIOS.
"I don't follow this question. What exactly do you mean, "go back to original mode"?"
For example, currently on WM5.0 If i upgrade the rom which comes with WM6.0, would I be able to restore it back to WM5.0
I have the same exact problem. I would love to try and unlock my wizard and put wm6 on it. I have bought my t-mobile mda used, it is the german version (has Y and Z swapped on the slideout keyboard). Since when I received it it has wm5 in italian (I live in italy and I am italian). I am assuming someone put it there (so it has been unlocked i figure) instead of the german wm5. Now my questions are:
1) Can I backup my whole rom so I can go back to my original italian wm5 (same question as dvd107)?
2) if my phone has already been unlocked can I know in any way? Is there any risk in cid/sim unlocking it again if it is already unlocked? (I think it is sim unlocked since all sims work with it)
Thank you very much
Hi
Sorry if this is a newb question and I've missed something obvious.
I'd like to upgrade an O2 branded hd2 to the generic latest ROM using the goldcard method described here. I understand this invalidates the warranty.
Is there any way of restoring the phone to its original state to circumvent this?
Thanks.
I would like to know this as well as im thinking of sending back my HD2 to o2 but cant as ive upgraded to 1.48.
Or is it worth sending back as it is now and then play dumb if they contact me to tell me its not got the original stock rom?
im with T-Mobile and upgrade it on ROM: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE - Radio: 2.05.51.05_2 last weeks and never had any prob yet and sim card works fine
Dump your ROM before upgrading. For how to do that search on the forum.
I'm also with O2, & they told me that as long as the ROM is an official one from the HTC website this won't invalidate your warranty
Not sure what the policy is with T-Mobile though
I did find a O2 rom on here somewhere, cant remember where, I havent used it yet, but im uploading it to rapidshare now and will provide a link. So if anything does go wrong you can just flash back to the O2 rom to be on the safe side.
I have returned a phone to O2 before that was HSPLed and they never said anything, but they sent out a new phone and picked up the old one at the same time.
O2 Rom...

Hi People
I have a O2 HD2 running ROM 1.43.70315 and would love to start flashing custom ROMs but need a copy of the origional to restore to for warranty purposes.
Ive managed to located a setup called RUU_Le2_UK_1.43.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship which seems to be an older ROM than mine.
Does anyone have a copy of 1.43.70315?
Thanks
Hi, I too would like an official 1.43 o2 ROM.
flashed mine with hspl to official 1.48, and now I have the SMS bug where txts get stuck in the outbox. never had that problem before so am wondering if i can revert back to 1.43, especially as htc's hotfixes don't do anything, and can make it worse...help any1????
iv got this rom in my phone but dont know how to backup it for u
Anyone help on this?
check post 3 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605462
i know its not the exact build your after, but its an official o2 UK rom
i bet the small difference in build will go unnoticed if you return the phone for warranty anyway
i have checked it myself and it is the o2UK rom i got with my leo from o2

Hi linsaydr
I too am on O2 UK and I have just done the HSPL to update my radio.
When I looked at my ROM version before this it read as follows:
ROM version
1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROM date
11/06/09
I think the link in this thread may actually be the ROM you're looking for.
Hi Guys
I can CONFIRM this is the ROM that came with my phone.
LET THE FLASHING BEGIN!!
