Well, i have been a visitor here 4 long just to evaluate powers f Wmphone against Symbian one as i always fancied d Former
BUT
the first Main thing i would like every1 2 know ( just again ) is that, this XDA Family is Simply Awesome.
It really feels gr8 when 1 sees peopl frm al ovr d world helping each othr and providin a stage to explore the common Interests. & Some to prevent brickin their TOYs Feels GR8
Briefly....
I always wantd to hold my own WM (d best i can afford) and aftr jst 2.5 yrs f any cellphone use, i Upgraded to A
KAISER.
Its a long tale,,,how i got this 1, my 1St WM Phone aftr a long wait of abt 7mths, as Availabilty f gud Wm phones in my part f country was bleak...& to make things worse, i lost my previous symbian for dat long
Finally, i got Imported To my place a UNLOCKED T MOBILE MDA VARIO III just 10 days back.
I GOT it for around 800 $ (without Tom Tom tastr version, Extra Screen protector, memory card)
IMPORTED BCOZ HTC HASNT LAUNCHED even HTC TYTN yet in my country..Just its variants like jasjam and xda stellar r available and dat too ,with huge price tags. After abt 3 mths f followup with Offcial HTc Peoploe ovr here, they still nt ready to divulge any details abt launched ,so i decided f importing one.
UNLOCKED BCOZ T MOBILE Doesnt provide service in here & unlocking services r nt availabel in my part f state (not atleast of WMobiles)
Since i had not much idea abt its workin excpt WM O.S's r smwht similar to Windows Desktop O.S's with registry stuff & all & had never used a WM b4 receiving mine,
So after experimentation f few days & Hard Resetting My Device for abt 3 times already due to many sftware problems etc,
I m here to get First Advise,regarding Flashing a NEW ROM to it
I would like to Specifically Point here tht i HAVE read the basic info about flashing already & few more Basic stuff f WMobiles & nt pointing another same query!
Actually , DETAILED SPECS f my TMOBILE MDA VARIO III are :
GERMAN version (CONFIRMED from d QWERTZ keyboard layout
UNLOCKED ( as its properly working with any SIM card available here)
WM 6.0 CE 5.2.1620 BUILD 18125.0.4.2
ROM VERSION 1.56.405.5
ROM DATE 08/28/07
RADIO VERSION 1.27.12.11
PROTOCOL VERSION 22.45.88.07W
NOw , the things dat r holdin me back r no knowledge abt d stuff which has already been done to it
Like
1) I think dat its rom has been changed as t mobile has it own german language oriented rom but nt my case .
2) Whether hw this has been flashed ..may be sm other way, not using HARD SPL ( pof's)...so what shd i do..go for installation f HARD SPL OR d other one f JockyW2001 ?
3) HARD SPL (pof's) is also for CID unlock ? written in dat thread but cant find any other reference other than topic heading !
3) What way i can find out whether hard spl has ben installed already or not? or can hard spl be installed again?
4) Do i need to install HARD SPL first b4 using this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
5) i hav got no Memory card available yet..is it necessary for Flashing a new Rom ?
So, i m seeking advise from all d helpful xda'ians in here..regarding how shd i go abt Flashing a new rom to it
and how different dat process will be from already placed Flashing guides in forum?
if any1 needs more info,,, then waiting 2 reply.
Thanks & Regards
Ok fine....AS i can see its really a problem for old members dealing with new threads.... i cut it short..
Just tell me Should i install HARD SPL on it?
I Dont Know whether it has been installed b4 on it? & will installling again will do any harm or in dat case can be installed even?
Sorry 2x post. See below
You better HardSPL it or you will have an $800 brick on your hands. Try reading the wiki. Its very helpful. Also I think that other members as well as I would appreciate it if you didn't use as many abbreviations and colors. Seriously.
As for your questions

1.) What? Its going to be in German because you bought an imported one. Easily changed with a rom flash. There is also software to remap the keyboard if needed.
2.) If you just got it it probably hasn't been flashed. A good indicator is if it still has all the t-mo crap all over it (splash screens etc.)
3.)You need to HardSPL, any kaiser version will work. If you go into bootloader mode (read Wiki) it will say OliPof at the end of the 2nd or 3rd line
4.) Yes
5.) Not needed for flashing, but to really use the all the capabilities of your phone you need one
Problem Over
Well,
D Query still remained whether how t know whether HARDSPL has been already installed n dat r not?
OR Can HARDSPL BE installed over again if sm1 doesnt know d status f Device, as was d case here.
BUT ,gud news is Dat i risked bricking my set and installed HARDSPL ,without any ERRORS
It really had some anxious moments
Just ovr with REBuilding My OLD ROM & Installing WISEMAN's SNEV 1.5
This is Really fast.....Thanks Wiseman
Upgraded D Radio too..thou cant hear and see any changes.
Will try d Latest Dutty's 6.1 later tonight.
Thanks themetalmaster anyways
MOST probably , the person who unlockd it ,flashed d basic HTC rom 1.56.405.5 (ENGLISH) in place f GERMAN , by Some NON HardSpl way.
NEW SPECS
ROM 1.56.00.00 ( WISEMAN'S SNEV 1.5)

Hi vivo,
As you have mentioned that you have already tried and tested all the unlocking measures, I would recommend that you upgrade your ROM (and the Radio version too!) to 2.03 TX (unofficial ROM by Taxist) or 1.13 (official ROM). ROM version 2.03 TX can be found in the forum. Search for it. And the official ROM can be found in the WIKI!!
Enjoy your Magician!!

Thanks can u tellme ur Experience after Installing it , any Major change ?? Something u Noticed ??
Hey i have Downloaded this its Meant for Elf, So those who already ahve Elfin Dont Download its wastage of 62 MB .
Thanks a lot for the download. You should reply to the original thread about this rather than starting a new one. I'll post my findings in that thread
well...i dont think this is a new ROM
look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2
It SHOULD be WM 6.0 ROM which has bricked many Elfves in the past.
aieeeeee karambaa...at last!
that was a joke keke
this is for elf and elfin
second its mentioned on htc site via the date 4-8-08
and people asked for it and i gave the link
the rom is really nice and fast and no problems at all
This is indeed the same rom
(reminds me to up ther T-MobNL again)
If you would like to keep this thread i would consider making it a ME Touch Rom thread/discussion. As the rom itself has been documented and save
So not that new a rom but there should be two separate Official versions of these Roms both for the Elf as Elfin, At least the do exist for T-Mobile.
So unless it's dumped without SPL and IPL it wouldn't be adviced to flash this to incorrect device.
NOONSKI this was upon your request and for me its flashed and working like a charm
otherwise if you would like remove the topic
nah no need for me rom disscussion
My elf stucks on 3 colors, what can i do? I have IPL 2.27.0002 and SPL 2.28.0000.

vista bites for flashing
well the basics of flashing are read! read ! read !
full charge on the battery
the tri color screen is the boot screen
use xp its way better and few glitches
find the rom
make sure if you have a G3 or G4 wizard
G3 IPL / SPL are 2.xx format (eg.. 2.26 2.21 3.08)
G4 IPL / SPL are 2.xx.xxx format
to flash a rom you must be unlocked read about the methods
for each wizard the G3 and G4
and happy flashing
