Dutch T-Mobile Vario - can u please help me with WWE rom?

Hi There,
I am buying a Wizard (MDA Vario) for an Australian friend of mine that's coming over for a visit and naturally she wants the Wizard in English.
However, I can easily (and very cheaply) get the Dutch version from T-Mobile in the Netherlands since I am renewing my partners contract.
So I guess I need to flash a new WWE rom onto the Dutch T-Mobile...
My questions:
I am aware of the WWE I-Mate Rom that you can download from the club I-Mate ftp site.
1. Is this a good rom - and will it work 100% problem free with the Dutch MDA Vario?
2. Are there any other or better alternatives? any links to other roms? maybe a T-Mobile UK rom or QTEK 9100? which WWE rom is considered the most stable and non sluggish?
I appreciate you kind help and effort.
Cheers,
Lisa

Someone here flashed his vario, so it seems to work:
http://www.modaco.com/Wireless_G_problems_with_Vario-t232451.html

That seems to be true...
However, I am wondering if all works correctly after the upgrade - or are there any loose ends - like an application not running? frequent crashes etc...

I can recommend flashing always. But you have to know what you are doing. Furthermore you void your warranty doing this, so you might want to consider that while you have the chance to make a brick out of the vario.
Things like sim unlocking are easy with it so that shouldn't give you a problem.

o2 xda neo / on the edge of panic

Hello everyone,
I have on order a o2 xda neo, I was told by the salesman that
the manual and os were in english.
I have now found out that the neo is a german version of the
i mate jamin. I feel very stupid.
What does this mean in real life terms? Will it have a german
interface that I can't read? will I have to flash the os?
anyone?
thanks,
Chance

O2 XDA Neo
Hi.
I have O2 XDA Neo too, it's one week now. It's from Germany so everything was completely german. I flashed the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip from here, it's english version.
But first, try to search for english localization of WM5. I you won't find it then flash the new ROM. The problem is, there is no solution to go back to O2 German ROM nowadays for IPL, SPL version 2.15.0001. You will surely get the new version. But in month or two, there will be tool to unlock the phone to be able to flash lower versions of ROMs. Read the forum, it's priceless source of information.

Thank you Median for your reply, I have heard many horror
stories about flashing ROM,but if I have to I will, So what your saying is
the ROM on the OS is different from the WM5 and that I have to flash both.
I appreciateyou taking the trouble to answer me.
chance

The file is the Dopod's ROM, it's newer version then O2's and includes english WM5. Flashing was abslolutely no problem on my Neo. It takes about 10-15 mins to flash. Some say 30 mins, but for me it was quick. And the best thing you can do when flashing ROM - don't watch it, it doesn't like it. You know, it's intimate time for the device

1) Do you have to CID unlock your Prophet before flashing to the Dopod Rom?
2) What was your SPL / IPL prior to flashing?
3) Does flashing change your SPL / IPL?
4) I have Orange SPV M600 with IPL 2.10.0001 / SPL 2.10.0001 and someone told me that i need to CID unlock first to be able to flash ROMs.
Is this true?
5) Also i do not see the M600 original ROM available for download, how do i go back to orange ROM if need be? Will it be possible if orange made their ROM available for download?
Pls help.

I've just flashed my O2 Neo bought in Germany, ver. 2.09.0001. I used the ROM available in the forum,
RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
and it worked FINE. GREAT! I bought the telephone unlocked in Germany from O2, didn't needed to unlock CID. My GSM card from my brazil operator worked fine. Wifi too.
Thanks, I will try the Portuguese ROM now.

I have a question, if I flash the O2 neo to english version, the home-zone function will be lost or not?

It will be Lost but u can install the homezone needed files from the ext.rom afterwards. These Files should be available on the ftp Server.
AND:
I did also upgrade my German O2-XDA NEO to the mentioned Dopod rom - And you can also go back to the (older) Neo Rom later.
I do not know why but it is possible to downgrade from Dopod to the newest O2 rom, maybe because both are 2.15.x.x.?!

Help Needed to Pick ROM !

Hello, i am from greece, so i am not that familiar with the loads of names i came across for the p3300, since in my country there is only HTC Branded phones, not XDA or DOPOD or whatever. I have the phone for quite some time now and i am always in the tact of updating my devices. So the time for my htc has come. I am gonna unlock it through imei-check since as i read there is not a commercial unlocker yet, and i am having a bit of a problem in order what rom i should pick to flash on my phone. I really dont need the greek support on my phone, since all my devices are on english. So, can someone help me choosing in what rom i should choose ?
And i have couple of questions too,
1) I have a rom from my manufacturer's page that only updates the Greek language menus, if i flash to some abroad rom will i still able to put that rom to my phone to have greek again or no ?
2) Will (Lets say O2 or another ROM) be compatible with my carrier ( Cosmote GR).
Any help will be great.
Thank you for your time,
Best Regards , George.

German ROM for HTC P3300 GER needed

Hi there,
I messed up flashing my HTC P3300 and am stuck in Bootloader right now. Does anybody have a German ROM for the P3300?
Thanks,
Wirrkopf

I've already tried that. I do need the original german HTC ROM for the P3300.
Thanks.

I need this too.....

i need too
Please post a german rom

I just send the text below to htc support
Hello, as i need to reflash the OS on my P3300 and there is no final release date for the WM6 Image, please provide a download for the HTC 3300 GER OS-Image. Thanks in advance
we will see the answer.......

I'm also looking for the German rom since 2 weeks

MDA Compact III German Rom
I have a MDA Compact III original German Rom. If you think that this rom will help you, I can put on rapidshare and send you a link.

Could always try it and pull it out of the bootloader screen...
Cheers....
@it

The MDA compact III rom does not work on the "plain" HTC P3300 german. I've already tried that. It seems that there is NO german P3300 available anywhere on the net. I've spend quite a few hours searching every available forum or search engine :-(

just go the following answer regarding a download for GER ROM from HTC
Good afternoon

Same answer I get from htc (ITA_Version 1.12.408.1)
Did anybody think that HTC lounch soon Wm6 for Artemis? After that we must legaly download from HTC site like P3600(just put valid IMEI)...or I am wrong about that?

I think that will be our only chance... Wait for a WM6 ROM published by HTC.
Let's cross fingers that this will happen pretty soon.

Yes i hope ther will be an WM6 Image soon - but as i see the customer satisfaction seems to be very uninteresting for htc which is bad. I like this device very much but the service of htc is really bad. Lets hope that there is an image soon.......

I need German HTC P3300 no brand ROM too.
Why there is P3600 and others WM5 and even WM6 ROM available to download and not for P3300?
I really can´t undestand HTC costumer support politics....
We are not asking something that was not already paid, at least when i buy a WIN XP or VISTA i get the CD/DVD and future upgrades .

O2 XDA Orbit 3.4.207 GER
http://www.o2online.de/nw/assets/blobs/software/xdaorbit-windows-update.exe
May be it is, that you need...

No thats not what we need - we need the htc image not the o2 branded image - anyway my device is in the repair center and i will see how much i have to pay.....
/GG

I have a German HTC P3300 and upgraded it with the O2 version from the bootloader screen, no idea why that doesn't work for you....

Because our is unbranded HTC P3300 with CID locked and yours is CID unlocked or is a original O2 branded, thats why you can upgrade it.
Like we only can start it in boot mode, If we try to upgrade with O2 ROM or other ROM we get INVALID VENDOR.

debranded rom

some people on ebay are selling debranded tg01s i contacted one and he said that he has the factory tg01 rom but was unwilling to sell it but would install it on my phone if i sent it to him with £20, anyway my question is
1. does anyone here have the factory rom to completly debrand from orange uk?
2. if no to above do you think it would be easier to decrypt the debranded rom compared to the orange branded one as it may be worth getting it to dump here?

Its either a sim free model or he has just removed the bootup and shutdown screens. Personally If a debranded rom was out there it would already have been posted so save you £20 (and your phone)

thats what i was thinking o well

i contacted a guy from ebay about debranding & he said he had the original toshiba firmware that removed carrier branding....
not sure if this sounds plausable......

maybee its a tosh employee making a bit of extra cash i would
and that would explain why not willing to sell me the cab
or as BaconTrousers said just someone removing bootscreen ect.
i am tempted.

The only one debranded rom is Italian so it's possible that he sells TG01 with translation package installed...

Italian ROM is debranded and it's better, i read about some voice problem in orange ROM.
But I see WM 6.6 in youtube running in our device. There is a system to install a new ROM in TG01 but we don't know.

can't someone use the italian debranded rom and create a custom rom from that? maybe even translate it into english, would be great even a custom rom in italian would be good

I've used leaked O2 then official Orange UK now I'm using leaked Orange UK (little bit stripped down from obsolette apps) had also Italian rom but i'ts based on 21840 build (leaked roms are 21856) so there is annoying bug in Start menu that closes after opening any settings ...
I've made translation for Italian German and UK rom to Polish so i think it's possible to translate Italian rom to english but I don't have time and motivation to do this...

Hi, I'm from RO, speaking a little bit of italian, owning an orange locked tg01(one of the first devices in RO), so I've upgraded(finally, one week ago) to wm6.5 italian ROM,by curiosity, encountering no problems so far:good signal on phone calling in/out, installed srs wow v.4(again curiosity, personally no need of it), 3 gps apps(iGO8.3.2, garmin&Automapa6.1.0.876+gpsgate2.6), awesome start=everything working fine, no random soft reset, waiting for a (god[xda]blessed) custom ROM..
edit:Nico, maybe we'll find, somehow, a motivation for you: let us know!!!

Generally you'll need rgu files from dumped UK rom all files containing 409 (mui, dat html txt bin) cpp_englocalization.dll (I think it's the right file name or something like this) DotNetLocalization.dll(to translate powersave and some other settings) thread_style.css, wc_style.css, wmStyles.css(translation of sms app) and WiFiSettingsLocalizationRes.dll i think that's all sorry for little bit chaotic description but I really don't have much time to write this.

What is this 'Leaked Orange ROM' of which you speak?
Could it be leaked to the forums, so we can play?

I'm using an Orange TG01 and the only branding I can see is that the windows boot screen is an orange background. I don't see any software or links to tell me it's an orange branded rom.
I bought it off ebay, and was told it was using a factory unlocked rom.
could this be the ROM you're talking about? What should I look for?

Dodge0069,
Was it from an eBay user called i_sell_fones ? Here is his current listing.
Apart from being de-branded, it would have come with Spb MObile Shell pre-installed.
If so then that's the one. I don't personally know if a dump of the ROM would tell the experts anything, but be useful to at least know if this additional piece of material could potentially be available !

Guys there aren't debrandet rom. All rom is the same, Orange UK and France, Vomistar Spain, Italian don know and some more all of them branded. May be unlocked but branded. On the market you can't buy debranded because Toshiba still don't sell it.

Italian ROM is brand-free:as far as I've noticed in 2 weeks of using it.

Where do i see branding other than on the back of the phone, and the orange colored windows startup screen?

has it got any orange apps on it?
TV player or orange plus or orange maps?
if these apps aren't available from your start menu then they're aren't installed, BUT they may still have thier .cab files in the root of windows?
i partially debranded my phone by hard reset then before 1st set up, i deleted the install paths to cab files i didn't want to use in the registry... i wasn't brave enough with my deleting as there is still some orange stuff there !!!
cheers

There are no orange cabs
I have no installed orange apps
Also, i've hard reset, and it SPB Shell 3.0.1 is installed in the ROM.
