Would be interested to know before i load it up..
Baz

Why is it on such a weird site? Iris-global?
I'm downloading it to check if it's save, but I'm having second thoughts about trying it. Dunno wanna f*ck up my wizard. :roll:

there is nothing wrong, its the official t-mobile download site!
jim

just completed the update, no noticable differences except it is damn fast!!!! Would be interested to know what the official differences are though.

It's just the version that shipped with the UK devices.

Same experience, no noticable difference but it's alot faster then the dutch shiped ROM. And much more stable too.
I'm liking it so far.
Edit: Found a new program called streaming video, not 100% sure if i had this on my Vario when I bought it. :?

It is on mine, Rom dated 09/29/05.
If I can find links to this new rom from the official uk tmobile homepage then I will be installing it today.

Can anyone say if the 802.11G problem (or lack of support) is addressed in this update?
Which rom would you people recommend - this T-Mobile ROM or the I-Mate K-Jam Rom? any opinions?

Hmm I'm still not convinced this is an OK download, can anyone walk me through getting to the site from http://www.t-mobile.com/ or http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/

Looks legit to me

Although the rom version is updated to 1.6.2.4. (WWE), the rom date is from 11/15/05.
But it's working like a charm.

Hi everyone i'm really new to the wizard but still wanna have my device up to date. I'v had the Vario for a week now and my ROM version is: 1.3.2.2 ENU and the ROM date is 9/29/05. I have downloaded this new ROM but should i update my VArio with it or not. I cant really tell if i need to or not. Sorry for bein a noob just too new to all this. Thanx to all replies.

It's entirely up to you. If you're current Rom is working well, upgrading isn't really necesarry. I was having alot of problems (constant lockups, slow, etc) with the dutch Rom I got when I bought it. Thats why I removed the CID lock to install an alternative Rom.
So far there arent any Roms out with major updates for increased hardware performance, these should come out late jan/begin feb and I read T-Mobile won't bring one out till late march.
Been trying the WWE T-Mobile rom since last night, and it's still working great. Haven't had time to install my applications yet, but it's allready alot faster and more stable then the Q-Tek (Dutch and WWE), i-mate and O2 Rom's i've tried.

thanx for the reply. so is the rom that i've downloaded newer than the one that i hvae. Beacuse a few posts above it says that the Rom is the same as the ones in UK Vario's. So just wanted to make sure i wasnt updating my vario with the same Rom as i downloaded. if that makes sense.

you will need to soft reset your device. To install this ROM on your device you will need to use the lokiwiz program, then you can install the file to your phone.
Hope that helps
Jim

Is mine even newer?
I wonder if going back to the TMO version would help any? My QTEK came with this:
ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE
ROM Date: 11/28/05
Radio Version: 01.13.0
Protocol 4.6.13.24
ExtROM: 1.6.7.101
It seems a bit poky, and battery life seems horrible

UK MDA Vario 2 latest roms etc?

Does anybody know the latest offical ROM etc for the T-Mobile Vario2?
Mine is off back to T-Mobile tommorow for checking out over battery life.
My current details are:
ROM Version: 1.21.110.3
ROM Date: 06/19/06
Radio Version: 1.05.05.00
Protocol Version: 32.36.7010.04H (Whatever that is!)
I would like them to update it whilst its away, but I wonder if there is a newer one I can officially have.
Cheers

Sorry to bump up; but can somebody with a new model check their ROM please? Or is there somewhere on this site that has a list of latest "approved" versions?
Cheers

Look at the wiki for shipped ROMS
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Looks like you're not far off the latest official versions

Thanks Sparky

Well, received back today.
Repair docket said replaced mainboard/unit exchanged plus software upgraded.
The phone is new as imei number is different.
But ROMS etc are all same version.

I am using this Rom
Rom Version 1.35.255.2
Rom Date 11/14/06
Rom Version 1.18.00.10
Protocol Version 32.55.7018.01H
ExtRom Version 1.35.255.102
I got this from the Wiki Site. Works real well i think!
I just wanna get the vista onto my MDA Vario II. If it runs faster thats all i want!!!

DOnt want to sound stupid...... but what would I get (over my standard T-Mobile image) if I upgraded to this or the even newer HTC one (2.05.255.1 - 01/17/07 ). Whats the AKU etc?

Please try to search for your answers! Use google or the forum's search function and you'll be helped. You'll find so much information, some are for beginners, some are for advanced users. And if you find yourself left with specific questions come back and ask them. Thanks.

Sorry chaty, but I did try searching and could not find the answer, this is why I asked!

my xperia rom version

hey guys, a bit of a loss here. i bought a xperia X1a and tried to update it via SEUS, it found no updates. however when i check the device information its rom version is 1.02.949.8, isnt the r2a rom supposed to 1.03 or something. furthermore, when i go into the 'customer info tab' its software version is R1AA021, but its customization version is R2A. so is my phones rom R1A or R2A?, completely lost..
would the cause of this be that its customization variant is TELSTRA_AU??
thanks pplz

Leaked ROMS and the camera fix

Hi guys
I just found the camera fix on the HTC UK website. There was still no download for the UK ROM update. The EMEA site had the ROM updates for all regions except the UK.
I called HTC UK. They told me that the UK one is due soon. He explicitely told me that any ROMs out before they come on the HTC website were not official. That doesn't mean they were not developed by HTC but it does mean they were not the ones HTC mean't the public to get.
This seems reinforced by his statement that when you apply the officially released ROM it will include all the fixes to date, including the camera fix ... you won't need to apply the camera fix if you have applied the proper ROM update.
I know people that have downloaded the ROMs from other sources will like to maintain they are the official ROMs but I'm afraid that doesn't appear to be the case.
I will wait until the proper UK one is out and check the version number at that point.
Paul.

Mate... this is common sense.
if its not on the HTC website then its not official!!!!!!
UK users shouldnt worry... it will come out soon enough.

Speaking of hotfix i got my camera hotfix and was thrilled and glad to see it.
I installed it in a hurry and took a few shots with the same WHITE over exposed results as before. What have they fixed? Nothing!

the hotfix was for the pinking issue. Most people are reporting it to be working.
I installed the unofficial 1.48 ROM and paid the price. Before I had no issues with my hd2 now with 1.48 I get occasional crashes and it gave me the over exposed photos. Hopefully these issues will be sorted with the official UK ROM.

I received my HD2 (WWE version) yesterday (via PDASHOP in the Netherlands) and it's already using the 1.48 ROM out of the box !!
So the 1.48 ROM surely is Official
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Version: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE
ROM Date: 11/18/09
Radio Version: 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol Version: 15.28.50.07U
Camera Version: 6.26 (Build 1921.1625)

Well im running the European English 1.48 ROM and the Hotfix from HTC UK worked fine.

I keep getting the "Not a valid Win32 application" error message once I have downloaded/try to run the camera fix.. :S What size if your guys d/l for the camera fix LEO_07477.exe file? Mines 2.18mb.

You need to run the exe on the phone not the PC.

God I feel stupid now! Should have read the instructions on the htc site a bit more thoroughly! Just presumed it would install in a similar way to the .net framwork install..

I just went to the "Europe Home" for HTC and though the site offers me a file for download, the download links are all 404s.
I bought a "UK Version" HD2 here in Belgium. Am I getting a "Page Could Not Be Found" error at download because I really have a UK-specific Phone/ROM and "UK Version" is an official HTC designation?

Chill out, man........I'm just saying that the ROM is official, otherwise a brandnew HD2 would not have been equiped with it.
Just because the UK version is not on the Website for download yet, doesn't mean a thing. Just relax and your download will be available soon

yes all it means is that they haven't got around to updating the UK site yet..
obviously it would be lovely if they suddenly decided to ship the mentioned 1.6 rom to UK owners, but I can't see them doing that before it's been tested for a couple of weeks.
I'd also take anything said by a customer service rep with a pinch of salt until it's put in writing and then from someone senior enough to actually know what they're talking about..
FWIW when you enter your serial number on the HTC europe site you get a download link (which is broken because they messed the links up, still wondering why the UK isn't there?)
but the link points to RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
Try comparing that to the leaked rom ;P

Go to "Europe Home" for country -- I have UK version and am downloading the new ROM right now...
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=804

When I downloaded the camera hotfix, it said it was applicable for all ROM versions 1.60.xxx.xxx and earlier. This new ROM seems to have an earlier version number, so does that mean there's a new version to be released soon (or just that the hotfix isn't built into the ROM updates)?

Great question! I wonder if its even worth installing this one. Will I be doing it all over again in 2 weeks to install a 1.60 ROM?

My problem is that there is no way to take a nice face shot with the flash inside a room at the night. Everything bright gets just white and overexposed.
Any nice tip would be appreciated.
I think the flash goes of to late and are at it's fullest when the picture is taken, would it be better is the flashlight is about to fade out when the device is set to night or lightbulb...
This drives me nuts!!

Am I Up To Date?

hi just got my hd2 a few days ago the software info is:
os 5.2.21845
manila 2.5.19202525
rom 1.43.110.2
radio 2.04.50.22)22)
protocol 15.26.50.07u
are there any updates i need to apply?
thanks
mark

well go to the HTC website... you'll be in for a surprise!!

i see theres an update to down,load but the serial number i have has lots of IO or is that 10's in it

also if i do the rom upgrade will i still need to install all the other updates or is this a fix-all?

Ive entered loads of combinations all seem to be invalid except one which states
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
???

It sounds like you got your phone from O2, Vodafone or T-Mobile rather than a 3rd party like Phones4U. This means that you can't just download and apply HTC updates.
Fear not - go to the Leo ROM development section on this forum, put HSPL on your phone and then load the latest ROM update from HTC (v1.66). This includes all the latest updates.
Use this UK serial number to download the ROM upgrade:
HT9AZNW00968

wow thanks for that...
only 2 days in and im flashing a rom... how l33t of me lolz.
