A quick question: after upgrading to Mr Clean's ROM I noticed my Wizard displays time with the US format, despite selecting English/UK in the regional format.

How can I get it display using the 24 hour format?

This seems to be a minor issue, but it bothers me when using Pocket Informant.

Thanks for any advice you may have
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] thephm:
Does this imply that you are having this problem ??

There is a thread talking about this ... looks like it could be linked to GPRS
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
This is a setting that's built into WM5, though due to the way the drop down menu displays it can be easy to miss. ;)

Start -> Settings -> System -> Regional Settings -> Time -> Time style

Choose one of the four options:

h:mm:ss tt -- 12 hr clock

hh:mm:ss tt -- 12 hr clock with leading zeros on the single digit hours

H:mm:ss -- 24 hr clock

HH:mm:ss -- 24 hr clock with leading zeros on the single digit hours

Enjoy.

How can I be sure my wizard is CID unlocked... I used the IMIEcheck thing ages ago (before Lokwiz was around) so i think that means its unlocked but I upgraded my ROM to a standard TMobile UK rom after that... Is it still CID unlocked - how can I be sure - I dont want to ruin it - but I doooooo want this new ROM!

Also, how do I get to see the ext rom and copy from/to it? Im just backing it up with aWizard but I cant seem to find anything searching here - maybe Im just rubbish at using search - but there is too much non-info turned up :(

Re: Bricked

It's been moved over to the safe area. The first post in this thread has been edited to reflect the new location. Shouldn't disappear anymore. :)

This is exactly what you see when you do not CID unlock. It's a common mistake as many people SIM unlock their phones but forget to CID unlock.

Since you said you still get the USB indicator on the bootloader (rainbow) screen, you're in luck. You should be able to recover.

1) Get the original 1.x ROM from the T-Mobile UK site.

2) Boot the Wizard to the bootloader and plug it into your computer. Do not worry about ActiveSync.

3) Flash the original 1.x ROM to your phone.

4) When it comes back up you should have a fully working Wizard, complete with phone service and ActiveSync.

5) Use Lokiwiz02b to CID unlock your Wizard. It has separate options for SIM unlocking and CID unlocking. Make sure you CID unlock.

6) Upgrade to the Mr. Clean ROM.

Note: If you cannot flash the original T-Mobile ROM, try unzipping the T-Mobile RUU package into a folder on your computer. Replace the default RUU exe with the NOID exe that comes packaged with Mr. Clean. If that also fails, use the special "downgrade" ROM that is mentioned in the CID unlocking for 2.x ROMs. If that still fails, you'll need to buy a CID unlock from http://imei-check.co.uk for £20. At this point you should then be able to reflash.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
Imei-Check claims to do both a SIM and CID unlock in one shot. If you bought the service you should be ok. Both the SIM and CID unlocks are a one time thing. If you are unsure, you could always try using lokiwiz02b (so long as you still have a 1.x ROM) and attempt the CID unlock. As far as I know, it won't hurt anything.

To get to the Ext ROM you need to use an explorer type program (such as Total Commander) and go to the \extended_rom folder. That will allow you to view and copy items from the Ext ROM. You cannot delete, modify or copy items into the Ext ROM or you will corrupt it.

If you actually want to edit an Ext ROM, I'd suggest reading the thread on how to cook a homebrew ROM. Basically you have to break the combined ROM into parts, open the Ext ROM segment in WinImage, edit it there, save the image out and then package it up so it can be flashed to the device.

Re: Bricked

Fantastic. On the way down (56% completed).

I want to be 100% sure that my device is CID unlocked first. Best way is to use lokiwiz02b?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Re: Bricked

Then you should try to flash the older T-Mobile ROM (1.something) from this site.

Upgraded the ROM last night and all went smoothly.

Just a couple of questions though, they may pertain to ROM 2.3 rather than this release in particular.

Firstly - when installing apps, it doesn't retrieve data on how much storage space is left?

Secondly - the 4-way nav option in ie. It appears to be stuck on, changing the registry entry for it doesn't change whether it's on or off?

Resolved this one, don't know why it was being funny though

Also, WAP proxy didn't seem to be setup?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] :
Upgraded last night.

seems ok so far, solved the wifi problem ( i thought)

today wifi is bad again.

and it seems abit slow in some things. i.e calendar fires up but shows no appointments, then after a few seconds they appear.

The oficial UK T-mobile rom is available today do will throw that on before anymore customisations and see what happens. If I still have problems then its back to the shop for this unit.

Ready to go. Just one more question......

I bought my TMobile Wizard in the UK but have since taken it abroad. I use it over here with my local sim and so have no real need for any UK based settings. That said, the device has a UK keyboard layout.

Is this the right ROM for me to flash to?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
Re: Ready to go. Just one more question......

You'll see the space available when looking at the memory control panel or the remove programs control panel. Won't see it when just installing a CAB.

As for the proxy, I wasn't aware you needed one. I know in the US the proxy is only on the discount GPRS plan and many do not use it as it interferes with VPN connections. I'll add the proxy info to the first post in case someone else needs it. Thanks for mentioning it!

This ROM defaults to AKU 2.3 along with the latest (useful) T-Mobile UK settings, such as the Soft Key program and the local UK network settings. There are also some enhancements, like the updated camera driver that T-Mobile UK provides.

What is missing from this ROM are the useless bits, like the dumbed down Today screen plug-in that makes the Wizard look like a smartphone rather than a PDA. ;)

If you load this ROM, you will need to change the MMS config and the GPRS config in order to get web access and MMS messages in your local area. Otherwise, it should work for you as an upgrade.

That said, if you have a lot of your own customizations, you may just want to get the base Mr. Clean ROM to get the AKU 2.3 OS and then customize as you see fit.

Finally, if you just want to change the keyboard layout on any ROM, I suggest using Registry Wizard. It makes the edit a snap.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sporkguy:
Hi gamescan, thanks for the ROM.

One problem though:

when I try to Super CID my Wizard, I get the following error:

ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.

seems I'm not the only one with this problem, which is preventing me from upgrading.

Is there a known solution?

Cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
Sounds like you've got an AKU 2.x ROM on the device already.

If it is version 2.17 or below you can use the special downgrade ROM on the FTP (search for the AKU 2.x CID unlocking thread).

If it is version 2.21 or higher you cannot CID unlock with the tools on this forum. You would need to purchase the unlock from http://imei-check.co.uk. They claim to unlock SIM and CID all in one shot. Of course you have to pay for that. ;)

Once the CID has been unlocked you should be able to flash any ROM you choose.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sporkguy:
Thanks for the reply gamescan.

I do indeed have one of the 2.x ROMs already.

I purchased the unlock from imeicheck, all went fine.

However I still cannot downgrade to any ROM

What do I try now?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
Honestly, I'd drop a line to the imei-check guys. They claim that their software unlocks both the SIM and CID (and said emails have been posted all over this forum). If it did not unlock your CID for some reason, follow up and either ask them to fix it, or ask for a refund. I'm betting that they'll likely be interested in a phone that didn't properly unlock.

I emailed them and got this:

Regards,

So what am I doing wrong? From this email, what would you suggest I try before I email them back and tell them *again* that I keep getting error 300?

Thanks, and sorry for this mess :/
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] melvynadam:
I did it!

I installed this and the flashing worked perfectly thanks very much. Not so wild about the splash screen but you've made your mark!

Now some questions:

The last ROM I flashed to my phone had the default Windows Mobile 2005 phone dialer (shown in the screenshots here). I really prefer this look. Any way to get it back?

One thing I noted missing from the ROM is the readme.doc. When installing there's a screen with a button that launches a readme file but when I tried it wasn't found. I realise these files are put up for the hardcore users who wouldn't read a readme if they were paid but some of us are more than a little wary when putting our beloved PDAs through a ROM flash.

Why does the calendar in this ROM always launch on the Month view and how can I change this default?

When I connect my laptop via BT to the Wizard in order to go online there used to be an indication on the Wizard that it was connected. Now there isn't. How can I install this manually?

I understand that this is supposed to be a 'clean' ROM. Also that different users want different registry tweaks. However, you've thoughtfully included the registry tweak that shows the status of CapsLock and SymLock but you have left out the other one that everyone agrees is necessary, namely the one that enables ClearType in landscape mode. Is it a big deal for you to add this to the ROM? Obviously, I'll be changing the key manually but it would be nice to have it inside the ROM as standard for when I recommend this to others.

Thanks again. I really appreciate the hard work that went into making this ROM. The questions above are not meant to be seen as complaints I am very grateful for all the time and energy that the enthusiasts in this forum put into improving their devices and then sharing that knowledge. Kudos OP.

Bricked MDA Vario on T-mobile now unbricked

Dear Kyphur and Gamescan

Thank you for all your help the other day.

The final solution (found on another thread) was to go into the bootloader and load the

CUSTOM_RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe

ROM.

This reset the machine and restored activesync.

From there I could then use Lokwiz which worked flawlessly and unlocked SIM and CID.

I then loaded Gamescans ROM which worked fine (but I didn't like the splash screen, though I understand how you technically competent people should be allowed artistic freedom) , so I finally restored the new T-mobile ROM which again worked.

Again, a big thank you to all involved in the above software that you have made available. I have learned an awful lot from you and am most grateful for your time and patience.

With kindest regards

Tony (nssrac)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sporkguy:
Re: Bricked MDA Vario on T-mobile now unbricked

Ok, thanks for the help.

I tried this.

First I put the phone into bootloader mode (took out the battery, put it back in again, pressed and held camera button and powered on) - USB comes up fine on the bottom left, but when I run CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe I *Still* get error 300 :(

I got another email from the "friendly" folks over at imei-check this morning:

Hello,

this is simply not correct. The so called "creator" of the ROM gave you an old version which can only handle G3 chipsets. Your device seems to have G4 chipset. In case you would force somehow to update the device with this NON STANDARD ROM your device would become a paperweight. SuperCID will allow you to flash any compatible ROM to your device. It will NOT allow you to "brick" your device. If you really want to brick your device simply put it in some water for a minute while running, the effect would be same as using a ROM update which does not support your chipset.

Solution: Take ANY standard 2.XXXX ROM Update you like.

Regards,

IMEI-CHECK Team

Which suggests that they dont support your Non-standard rom with the supercid method they use.

Well I'm stumped.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dan13l:
It's all looking good with this rom so far.

One thing I do miss is the spinning Activesync icon in the top bar when syncing. This doesn't happen using this rom. It's nice to see that an email is actually being sent, without having to duck into Activesync and check.

Any chance this can be changed? Or that I can tweak the registry somehow to enable it?

Re: Bricked MDA Vario on T-mobile now unbricked

Here is how you test that statement.

Go here: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=52952

Pick one of the Radio Roms, don't worry you can reflash it back, be sure that it is a different version that what's installed currently (maybe the 2.17).

Follow the instructions.

If if fails then they are wrong because these Rom contain no IPL/SPL (the part that would be sensitive to G3 or G4 chipsets).

If it works then I'd say you can't flash 1.x Rom because I think they all used G3 IPL/SPL. In that case, tell me which 2.x Rom you want and I'll repackage it without IPL/SPL so you can flash it.

I have a UK T-Mobile MDA Vario, on which I have been running the O2 2.21 ROM as I am using an O2 SIM card in it (all officially unlocked by arrangement with T-Mobile prior to purchase).

I have just migrated to the Mr Clean AKU2.3 ROM posted a few weeks ago and horror of horrors I find I no longer have Task Manager, which is so important to me that I have the Comm Manager button assigned to it instead of to Comm Manager. A swift migration to the latest Cingular ROM put that right, but I would prefer to run a Mr Clean ROM, if only it incorporated Task Manager.

A Solution for Sporkguy!

Ah, just what I thought. And now, if you don't mind being something of a guinea pig, I do believe we can get you sorted out. That said, a disclaimer first:

I DO NOT HAVE A 2.xx.001 DEVICE TO TEST ON. THIS IS UNTESTED AND MAY FAIL.

Please understand this. While I do endeavour to test everything I post, I can only guarantee that this will install on a 2.xx device. According to everything known about the Wizard it should also work just fine on a 2.xx.001 device but I wanted you to know this in advance. I don't like asking people to test stuff blind.

And now, a solution for Sporkguy:

1) Download the T-Mobile US 2.24 BETA ROM

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...u_prodigy_224101_22410101_022511_wwe_test.exe

2) Install the T-Mobile US 2.24 BETA ROM as normal. To save time, please soft-reset when the customization screen appears.

3) Download the Mr. Clean 2.24a T-Mobile UK Sporkguy TEST ROM

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...AKU23_WWE_CUSTOM_SPORKGUY_TEST_T-MobileUK.zip

4) Unzip the Mr. Clean 2.24a T-Mobile UK Sporkguy TEST ROM to a folder and install as normal. Make sure you let the customizations run.

5) Let the machine reboot by itself.

6) At this point you *should* have a fully functional version of the Mr. Clean 2.24a T-Mobile UK ROM, complete with the proper bootloader for your device, the AKU 2.3 OS, Mr. Clean UK splash screen and the custom T-Mobile UK Ext ROM.

Please let me know if this works for you.
