I am looking for Windows Mobile 6.1 original ROM (with no or minimum tweaks) for Wing. can anybody send me the link. Thank you.
there is no 6.1 "original rom" for the wing.
you have to use a custom rom
I think this might be what you're looking for:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Herald_Upgrades
The "T-MO 4.26.531.4" is the one which ships with current Wings.
Hope that helps
thats not 6.1, though
most customs are better than stock anyway.
tmobile just wants us to buy the MDA Vario IV, because there is NO reason for not giving us the update.
i'd buy it IF THEY OFFERED IT IN THE US!
they will, eventually. if not, they are stupid, i would but it too!

"The company is looking at the new Windows Mobile 6.0. "I don't know yet if our Windows Mobile 5.0 handsets can support 6.0," he said. "If so and if we can use our Web site to allow customers to download the new operating system, then maybe this will be a possibility. I guess the answer is if we can upgrade easily, then yes."
So T-mobile might upgrade the Wizard to WM6...am I reading that right?

Seems like they are thinking about it...good find.

I'll bet money on this not happening (officially.....)
Since WM2003 & all the WM2003SE fiasco with the lack of updates for devices that would be easily compatible you have to understand the market; WM6 and the cost of a new device as opposed to WM6 software development on a legacy (slow & poor camera resolution) device?
Believe me it won't happen - I have a nice stetson here waiting to be eaten.......
Andy
But there has never before been an update this close to the version before with the exception of WM2003SE (which was very hardware orientated and thus made upgrading either not worth it due to lack of features or impossible) but with WM6 it is very compatible with WM5 as it is still a 5.x.x build version making the new features worthwhile without really requiring any new hardware. I would say chances are increased with this as not really any new driver development is necessary nor do T-mobile have to alter their applications to work with WM6.
Not happening
My brother is in IT for T-Mobile and he informed me that they will not be upgrading the MDA.

Ask him if they are going to get a faster version of the MDA (like the Hermes/8525/etc).

I didn't think they would. It would have been nice; then we could have had some really good cooked roms from it.

Sorry not putting you down, but just cus one person has been told that it is not going to happen does not mean that t-mobile will do a U turn!!! It would cost them more money not to as we will still play with WM6 and it would be cheaper to give out a base. Cus dumb people will flash the phone and mess it up and t-mobile will have to replace them!! Cus if i mess up my phone i will just claim a new one, and they have to give me a new one!! Cus all you have to do is damage the phone so they replace that way.
I have received somewhat reliable news that T-Mobile US WILL support an upgrade to WM6 for the Dash.
Again, this is somewhat reliable, not 100% so don't hold your breath (not that you would seeing that it's for the Dash and NOT the MDA).
well what i dont get is, that the news item says about if it would work with the PPC, the t-mobile people should come on here and see that it does work, and they would not need to do any work on it! Just putout a bare bones WM6 rom and the people here would do the work to make it better! (I am sure that MS would be happy if the operaters are)
Hi Guys
Now that HTC have said they are releasing a WM6 upgrade for the Tytn and other operators (see here)
I think it is time we started a mass pester on T-Mobile UK to release the Vario 2 Rom and Rom Updates, I have had mine since October of last year and so far it seems all other operators are providing the original rom and the rom updates except T-Mobile.
Think a massive email spam from all Vario 2 users on here would help to put the pressure on, if not just annoy them enough to stop giving us the same old answer....
Here to complain
I tried that a few weeks back, and they gave me a flat out "no" and the main bulk of their message was that if I wanted WM 6 then I would have to purchase a newer device.
What a load of drivel from them, they are being ultimate t****rs, I have sent another spam mail to them asking what is going on!
I am doubtful I will get a decent reply. What is annoying is HTC are providing the ROM royalty free to the operators! Why are the end users not seeing the benefits in a rom release from them, even the original rom isn't being released as of yet. I know we have the hard work of Cluster, JJ and others creating WM6 but it would be nice of T-Mobile UK to support their users!
Sorry to rant just getting a little miffed off with them!
I know the feeling i've got both the mda's on t-mobile uk and i've seen a rom update (not wm6 mind up the aku 3.3 update) for the mda vario but not the vario 2, so to get wm6 like i'm running on the hermes i had to use a rom that i downloaded from xda. if i have to send it back to be repaired i'm buggerd as t-mobile dont have a rom download for it so i can download to wm5, looks like t-mobile uk are supporting the ameo now and the newer devices
I have send them a uber snotty email I wanna know why there is a lack of support for the device after only 9months!
A response and its not a no or a yes
Thank you for your further Email.
There has been discussions regarding a ROM update for the MDA Vario II to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6, however there has been no clarification as to whether T-Mobile will be providing this as yet.
Any ROM update that is available for any of T-Mobile`s SDA and MDA range of handsets will always be updated onto the following T-Mobile run download website, the link for this is as follows:
www.tm-phonedownloads.com
I would recommend trying this site periodically for any updates or possibly enquire at a later date for any developments.
I am sorry if this is not the answer you were hoping for.
If we can help further please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,

*Sniggers like a juvenile* How apt.
Firstly, a big thank you to all those members of this forum that post usefull infomation, whilst I don't post, I do find most of the posted info very useful.
A couple of questions:
1) Are T-Mobile going to offer a WM 6 Upgrade in the UK (I assume the O2 UK upgrade is official ?)
2) Have the issues with WM 6 and the Blackberry Rim software been resolved ?
Many thanks in advance
Retronana
Last I heard T-Mobile had said NO, they weren't going to give us an official upgrade.
Not that it's a problem, Network's own releases are always notoriously bad, look at the reviews of O2's offering for example, much better off with the software direct from HTC or a cooked ROM like one of Tom's B&B.
Sorry don't use Blackberry software here.
Thanks for the info with regards to the ROM's, I'm prepared to install HTC ROM although don't want to stuff my Blackberry Connect software at the same time.
Can anyone recommend an actual ROM that they have used on a T-Mobile UK device that retains the original features? Or at least list what is missing?
Cheers, J.
hello ppl...
a bit of an FYI here, but I just got off the phone with i-mate support and I pressed the issue of an official WM6 update for the Jasjam which won't void the warranty (that would also fix A2DP issues and such). The lady on the other end said that they are currently working on the new ROM and expect to have it out by the end of this month. I guess this has gotten my hopes up but I also know that i-mate is a lot of talk and no action as well. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. But come the end of the month, I will definately be calling and nagging them. That said, it was a real pain trying to find their phone number. They don't make it easy.
Its nice to dream Imate phone support is pathetic..Go and have a read of there forums.
"Dear Sir,
Thank you for contacting club i-mate™ Technical Support.
With regards to your query, please do note that we will not release a Windows Mobile 2006 ROM upgrade for the JASJAM or for any previous similar devices (e.g JASJAR, K-JAM, JAMin).
It is definite that we will only issue WM6 for the recently released i-mate™ devices (e.g. JAQ3, PDAL) and for the forthcoming Ultimate Devices - https://www.clubimate.com/ultimate/.
In addition, just in case you'll find a WM6 upgrade from other websites, we strongly advised you not to use it as it will only bring faults to the device.
If you have any other concerns, please do not be reluctant to contact us and we will be delighted to support you.
Regards.
Technical Support - i-mate™"

they will be releasing a official wm6 update (ENU) until Jan 2008
there exist some wm6 rom updates in chinese and arabic and there is one
non official for the jaq3 im talking about the rom for the ubiquio 501 the ugly brother of the jaq3 if you are willing to risk you can try the ubiquio rom in your device of course having the backup files of the original & official imate rom
Need to Vent!
<INFO>
Well, with all these mixed responses from i-mate, I just called them up again to enquire about this WM6 ROM which was supposed to come out end of September. The lady said this time, "we are testing the ROM now and expect to release it by November. Many people have asked the same question. I assure you everyone will know when it is out".
</INFO>
<RANT>
Have these people never heard of project managers or sticking to deadlines? Come on i-mate - HTC and Dopod released their official ROMs a long time ago. i-mate are absolutely hopeless! If i-mate management requires someone to come in, do some hiring and lots of firing, cut costs and increase productivity, let me know. If it wasn't for that 2 year warranty that they have, I would have used a cooked ROM a long time ago. Also, just on another aside, warranty repairs done in Australia take 1 month. Why??
</RANT>
<HAPPY THOUGHTS>
I still love the HTC products and my phone, and the next phone I get will definately be HTC branded (never again will I have anything to do with i-mate), and all the people on this forum are absolutely fantastic
</HAPPY THOUGHTS>
Hello Dinty,
I have a 2 yr warrenty with my jasjam, I flashed to WM6 (dopod official release)
Would not go back now. Hopefull if there is a fault, I will still be able to flash back. Unless I brick it during flashing, everyon knows here that WM6 will not fail your device.
warhammer, I got a different reply from Imate, much kinder about cooked rom upgrades, see below:-

Hi Qwsoftware,
Have to say that I am amazed by the response they gave you. When I called back in September, they had said that by using a non-standard ROM the warranty would be instantly void. It sounds like i-mate have a clear case of "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing". That said, I was never in the biggest rush to upgrade to WM6 back then, but now that I require more space (such as from a 6GB or 8GB microSDHC card) and would like the extra stability, I reeeealy want WM6.

hi l.e749,
Firstly, this is the forum for the HTC Hermes / i-mate Jasjam. The forum for the i-mate JAMin is the same as the HTC Prophet. Also, ROM's are one of the most discussed things on this forum.
Look at the WIKI under ROMs and Upgrading:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Prophet
and also, search the forums:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
I've got a jasjam and im just annoyed iMate haven't bothered yet, theres text all over their website that says they wont be bothering either. Considering we've been hearing mixed sources on Wm6 for Jasjam for ages, i wouldn't be suprised if it doesn't come out.
It's all this crap that makes me never want to buy an imate/o2 device again, i'll be purchasing from Dopod/HTC next time. O2, my atom was average with lots of issues that couldn't be fixed. Jasjam, in my opinion after sales support is just CRAP.
I know that i'm not alone in wanting to run windows mobile 6.5 on their treo pro, so i'm asking for one of the ROM designers to please develop a 6.5 rom that can be run on the treo pro. Honestly I think I understand why its not that popular, even though it's a beautiful phone,most people don't have one because of the hefty price tag for the unlocked version but unlocked or CDMA we still would like to run 6.5, Please Help!!!!
as already discussed in other threads of this TP section, you need hard SPL to be able to flash custom roms. Since there's no hard spl noone will cook the rom. It seems development of hard spl has stooped because the community is not large/intrested enough. Only chance is that Palm will release update themselves.
On the price of the Pro
I got the Trio Pro at Bestbuy unlocked for AT&T for 249.99 w/ 2 year contract and waived activation fee.... By far the best that I could find... I needed a phone w/ touchscreen, Windows Mobile 6.1 and some other minimum requirements that only gave me options of the ishy HTC Fuze, and the Samsung Epix, but I went w/ the Pro... I like it so far, I guess. Windows is windows as far as I'm concerned... No problems thus far other than just the limitations of windows
