Hi Guys, great community here, loads of helpful info.
Quick one for you (hopefully);
I'm trying to find an official T-Mobile ROM, well just the ms_.nbf file really as I’m selling my XDA II to a friend who is on T-Mobile, and I want to put all the T-Mobile customisations onto the device, I have already unlocked the phone with a tool posted on this site and it works a treat, just would like all the extra bits.
I have found a file for the German version, but for the life of me I can't find a UK Version.
Thanks in advance (hope I don’t sound to desperate :wink: )
Hi guys,
I'am a newbie here, especially with ROM upgrades... Recently, I have just upgraded my O2 XDAII from WM2003 t0 WM 5.0. After a few days of using WM 5.0, It's mass software incompatibility cools me off and I'm deciding to downgrade back to the ROM which I'm originally used.
So guys, is anyone of you has the original WM2003 ROM image from O2 for XDAII? If you have, please kindly provide me a link, so that I could download it.
Other than that, is anyone of you also have the original WM2003SE 2.20 CHS ROM image from O2 for XDAII, as well? If you have, please also kindly provide me the link, as well.
However, original WM2003 & WM2003SE ROMs from non O2 is also acceptable... But I think I would prefer the one originally for O2.
Thank you very much.
Caesar

Hi
I am desperate to update my MDA to Rom 1.72 but can not find an official T-Mobile upgrade anywhere, does anyone know of one anywhere..............................if not.....................has anyone tried to update using an O2 package, is it possible, does it just add O2 items to the phone but the rest is essentially the same???
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi all,
I'm quite new at ROM upgrading, so I apologize if any of my questions will be annoying to anyone.
I am about to buy O2 XDA Trion or T-Mobile MDA Vario II in Germany, and I plan to flash English ROM on it.
So here are the questions:
1. Will any type of ROM work on this brands of device ?
(Can I flash HTC TyTn English ROM on them. If not which ROM's can I use? Which one do you recommend?)
2. Will flashing new ROM unlock SIM ?
(If not, can you recommend me some good tool or method)
3. After upgrade to English ROM, will everything be in English ?
(Including all OS+Office apps. and keyboard layout, or do I have to set registry keys manually after?)
4. Which is the last known stable English HTC TyTn ROM (or O2 English) ?
(that it's enabling HSDPA also)
5. How to extract original ROM from device ?
(itsutils tool, or is there some better solution ?)
6. What is the benefit of Extended ROM ?
(does it exist Extended HTC TyTn ROM ?)
Already searched on forum, but still couldn't find answers to some of my questions. Anyway, I want to be sure before I do it.
I would appreciate any answers and/or advice.
Thank you all in advance.

No, it will not, but most probably your device will be Sim Unlocked.
If it is not, there is no free way of unlocking it *yet*, you can SIM Unlock it using imei-check service for 20pounds. See more info here:

Everything will be in english, but in German O2 trion you have an AZERTY keyboard (mapped to QWERTY after upgrade). If you want it to be AZERTY again you can change the layout using the keyboard registry hack found here:

Again, see this page for the latest roms:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Most of the roms come with HSDPA enabled, and if it is not, you can enable it using SetHSDPA /enable or fit4cat hermes tweaker, see more info here:

You can dump the original rom, but you cannot flash it back... most probably this will be quite unuseful for you.

Re: O2 Trion and T-Mobile Vario II ->ROM upgrade to HTC T
Thanks Pof for quick answers !
Correct me if I understood it wrong, any ROM (HTC, O2 English, I-mate etc.) should work with both brands (O2, T-Mobile) ?
How can I then fall back to original ROM (if I would need it for warranty reasons) ?
Is the Extended ROM must, or can I live without it also ?

That's right, you will get a Vendor ID when upgrading, you just need to run the upgrade utility twice without disconnecting your device. This is explained in the wiki too.

As O2 or T-Mobile has not released any rom upgrade yet, you cannot fall back to original rom. There is no known way of doing it because the typical commands to backup/restore to SD card have been removed in the Hermes bootloader. So upgrade at your own risk or don't upgrade if you pretend to return the unit

You can live without it, but generally it fixes some things (you'll not be able to do video calls without it for example). All the cabs are not needed and there are some customizations, skins, etc which are really annoying for me. What I generally do is "reset" before the ExtROM installs on first boot after hard-reset, and then manually install the cabs I want: some taken from TyTN rom, some others taken from i-mate rom and some others taken from Dopod rom.
Hope that helps!
Upgrading at your own risk ... that may be risky ... LOL
But i did it and its worth,...... still waiting for the new O2 ROM ...
I've written a wiki page with all this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ
Can I flash HTC ROM and then add O2 Extended ROM ?
Will I then have all O2 specific stuff, and O2 skins?
Did anybody already tried this combination ?
Thanks in advance...

Now O2 has released a new Rom, so if I change to i-Mate I can always change to O2-Rom
Is That correct?

The O2 released ROM is in german, if the original language of your O2 branded Hermes was german, then the above statement is correct and you can flash any rom without worries as you can always revert back to o2 in case you have to return your unit
Thank you
I have bought my Trion yesterday but it's in german, and I want in english so I found this forum which is great.
Thank you gays for the good work.
Can you provide some other forums or sites with information about Software for PDA and other stuff.
I will spend the entire week reading the forum.
Best Regards ...
Hİ brothers I've bought a O2 xda trion but language is in German can any one post me a link for O2 official rom in English please it's very urgent please help me.There is CID LOCK and rom should be official O2 rom
I haven't seen any English O2 ROMs. Why don't you just upgrade to another English ROM? (Make sure to follow MrVanx's guides when you upgrade)
There Are No English O2 Roms, As O2 Did Not Release The XDA Trion Over Here In The UK.
Which Was The Reason I Changed Provider
