Leaked: Official T-Mobile WM6 Upgrades for MDA vario II aka TyTN (German, UK, Dutch..

I don't know how many scanned the Dutch T-Mobile site lately: Since end of October, the carrier offers an official ROM upgrade for its MDA vario ii branded HTC TyTN (thank you pocketinfo.nl forum for pointing at this).
However, nothing was yet known about any upgrade for Germany.
Playing a little bit with the Dutch link I discovered that a German download site (as well as a UK site) has already been established.
The links are not live yet but the files can be downloaded at:
German (Hermes_WM6_TMD_3.60.111.4.zip, 59.4 MB)

UK http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMUK.aspx
Dutch http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMNL.aspx
I didn't try other countries but other "-TMxx" combinations may work as well. Just give it a try...
However, you will need a valid T-Mobile serial number to download the upgrade.
Have fun

And the same: valid serial number to download the upgrade
So you can find it on RS: http://rapidshare.com/files/71101408/Hermes_WM6_ERA_3.60.118.3.zip.html

Thanks for the link , i have just downloaded and will flash it later, will report back on version etc and if it is any good

Text on the link indicates
"...if the Windows Mobile version is already Windows Mobile 6 Standard, you do not need to perform this upgrade..."
I've only ever heard of Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Is there a difference between the two?
I believe the Vario III uses WM6Pro.

Dutch ROM is the same as the last one : 3.60.114.4.

i downloaded and tried it out but it wasnt to good. seemed a lot slower and also didnt get HSDPA gone back to shaps one now and its so much better!

It seems to be that most of the European T-Mobiles has a download site with its own language (besides the already posted links):
Austria: http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMA.aspx
Hungary: http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMH.aspx
Slovakia: http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMSK.aspx
Czech Republic: http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMCZ.aspx
Croatia: http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMHR.aspx
Macedonia: http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMMK.aspx
(Sorry if I forgot some)
Unfortunately some of them (eg. Czech, Slovak, Hungarian) are still not official releases just tests and will update only SuperCID devices (and maybe not stable enough as it was reported for the Hungarian one).

The download is now also "officially" available in Germany on the T-Mobile homepage. Go to http://www.t-mobile.de/mein-handy/1,13802,19349-_,00.html and you will find the link on the right side.

Same issue
I had this same issue, and i contacted HTC support with my serial number. Apparently, because i bought my from Hong Kong when it first came out, I have a different version then the version posted on the HTC main site for the U.S.A. I had to Choose Hong Kong -English as my country and download that version.

You may want to check that link or other countries on HTC's web site. They will verify if that version will work before you download.

You have to hard-spl first before you can use custom roms.

you may unlock your htc at your country if it blocks your sim card

a bit off topic, but how much do magics go for in malaysia?

Change ROM to SEA version?

I just got a HTC Hero, I supposed it's from some Eastern Europe country as I can only select countries like Poland, Chech, Romania etc. from language and locale. I'd prefer to set the locale my country (Cambodia) although I doubt there is this option. And I want to have Chinese input as built in.
I did an upgrade to RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river.exe downloaded from HTC website, but there's no different. I only found there's a link to this RUU_Hero_HTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_2.73.728.5_release_signe d_NoDriver.exe and my question is:
Can I upgrade ROM from one region to another, in my case to South East Asian version?
Thanks!

sure you can.
good luck!

thank you, i'll try that.

[update]
Upgrade fail. when everything seems to complete, i got "error[131]: Checking Custom ID" on PC and "Checking Custom ID, upgrade failed" on phone.
any help please?

you have to have rooted first!

[Q] Which one do you think is the best???

Hello!!!As you all know our GT-I9505 phone updated recently to lollipop vesion of android.There are 3 PDA versions: I9505XXUHOA7 (the leaked german one) ,I9505XXUHOB8(the vodafone one) and I9505XXUHOB7(the UK one). I would like to know ,by your opinion ,which one do you believe is the more stable version for our phone!!!Well...which is????

All are stable. The leaked German version and the UK version have no carrier branding within them. The other one obviously is Vodafone so it's going to have Vodafone apps.
The UK version I feel is the best choice. It has no carrier branding and has been updated compared to the leaked German build. The Vodafone version I would avoid unless you want their bloatware on your device.
