Anyone installed Black 3.0.1 on Vario II (T-Mobile)?

I'm currently running Black 2.5 (the T-MOB variant) and everything is fine.
But I'm tempted to upgrade to Black 3.x before I re-install all of my apps on my Vario (the speed improvement sounds good).
Has anyone with a Vario/T-Mobile installed Black 3.x? I see that there isn't (and will never be) a T-Mobile variant. What will I lose with a generic install? How hard is it to customise it for T-Mobile (UK)?
Thanks in anticipation.

Its fairly easy, all you really need are the internet and mms settings, look for a thread with operator settings in the title and find a cab file called t-mobile uk fixed.
Just drop it on to a storage card and run it whenever you do a hard reset or flash a new rom version.
Cant see why you would need the other t-mob customaizations as they mostly suck eggs.
Edit:cab file attached below

Here's the cab
Just drag to your Vario and run it.

Thanks Chris.
Let me get this right. Upgrade to Black 3.x. Copy CAB to device. Run CAB. Voila? This sets everything I need?
I agree most of the T-Mobile extras are crap but I need the settings for Internet/GPRS/MMS/SMS etc.
Cheers.

yes, working fine here, all connection settings set manually.

Yep. I actually have a directory setup on my sd card called rebuilds with the cabs I need to reset my ppc up after flash/hard reset. Generally takes me about half an hour now to set up everything, including restores of pim records

I'm with Orange and my flashing routine now is:
1) flash new rom
2) run pimping changes
3) manually enter gprs and mms settings
4) sync with 4smartphone exchange server
5) run smsproviders cab off Storage card (to sort voicemail)
6) install spb pocket plus and customise today launchers
7) set up two pop mail accounts
8) sign in and configure windows live messenger
Got it down to about 15 minutes now (but it does help that exchange server syncing is so damn quick.)

I tend to install things like Reader that like a soft reset so it takes me a little longer.

Is it as fast as people say? Did you notice a speed improvement when you installed it?

MDA Vario II works with Black 3.01, what about rSAP?
Hi there,
Just as it has already been mentioned earlier (upgrade to 3.01 on T-Mobile MDA Vario II). I took the plunge today and installed version 3.01 straight from WM5. I was initially a bit apprehensive being my first update since I got the phone and I can confirm that it works well. I simply had to add the 3G and MMS settings back or just use the T-Mobile cab to get everything back to normal.
Speed actually seems faster than before. The question I have got now is what happened to the rSAP (Remote Simm Access Profile) as I need to ensure that I can use my phone in my "troublesome" Mercedes CLS. Never was able to pair it with the car so i'll be testing it tonight. I just noticed that the rSAP seems to be missing.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Vido.

It works a treat, however when i goto use Live Messenger it cannot connect and doesn't present me with a login form like it did with Black 2.0... Is anyone else having trouble with this? I'm using a Vario II, i've tried connecting over 3G, Wireless and through ActiveSync, all with no joy,

The service may be down, mine works without any hitch. Then again, I haven't and never do install any other third party software.

All working ok for me, web'n'walk back working and exchange server sync'd ok. TomTom OK. Calls OK...
Only problem I have is connecting to a WPA2 WLAN.... maybe me.... maybe the Black 3.0 (2.5 worked ok). Need to spend sometime looking this evening.
Justin

TomTom
Justin, I take it you have the app TomTom on your mobile, rather than being a 910 or similar?
I took one of the other WM6 ROMs and the DUN (data transfer) has been removed so I can only use it as a hands free device and not to update traffic over GPRS.

I gave rSAP a try with an earlier black build, and I'm sorry to tell you that it behaved exactly the same as WM5 with the Merc car kit - i.e. just doesn't work (even once you've hacked the stack to make the Hermes look like a phone). If you get anywhere, it would be great to hear, but I'm afraid I think the Merc kit is just toooo limited in what it supports.

Hi Vido.
I hope you read the extensive guides mr Vanx has done on upgrading. If not, consider this a stern warning to do so *now* (link in my sig)
Your post suggests that you did not put on the olipro bootloader which means you are taking a risk flashing any OS rom onto your phone - if something went wrong, you would brick your phone.
For you and anyone else reading this, please read Mr Vanx's guides and save yourself, and everyone else, the headache of trying to recover your phone as this stuff voids your warranty.
Cheers,
Smiffy.

ok guys im on tmobile usa and mms doesnt work at all on any of the new wm6 roms. do you guys suggest that i try the uk settings

Hi, you need to check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299023
If USA not on here go to your T-Mobile website and do the settings manualy or get them from tech support...
Then post in the above thread!
Martyn

Hi Smiffy/All,
I actually followed all the instructions regarding upgrading to WM6 by flashing all the instructions in Mr Vangs guideline and used the 1.40.olipro bootloader. I just didn't type in all the details because of space. What I meant was that this is my first attempt at upgrading to WM6 after reading all the instructions in this forum.
Like I said my phone still does not work with the Mercedes Bluetooth UHI which is a pain and one of the reasons why I performed the upgrade. The other thing I have just noticed is that my ohne now finds it difficult to connect to my wifi at home using simple WEP key. I was only able to connect to my wifi at work only once after which it doesn't connect anymore. Has anybody else encountered this problem or is it only me.
Last question, is it possible to have the VOIP (Sip) work with T-Mobile? it shows up as "Service Blocked" and I read it somewhere that this can be tweaked. does anyone have the settings for testing this?
Apart from that the Black edition 3.01 is really cool.
Regards,
Vido.

clarificatin on gps? please (soo confused)

So I just got my touch yesterday and I downloaded google maps and I try to use the gps feature but it wont pick up any satellite's. I had to moto q9c before this and I did the same thing and I usually picked up like 9.
So I've been reading this forum for 4 hours thread by thread some new some old.
What I've gathered is GPS hardware is in the phone. But you cant use it unless an update comes out. Now people were predicting updates in early January. It's June. So I should have the updates?? or do i need to hack it to enable the GPS.
Thanks in advance
Kp

i suggest checking out the Vogue Forums at ppcgeeks.com and you'll get a plethora of info on the Vogue (a.k.a., Sprint Touch). (assuming you have the Sprint version). if you do have the Sprint version of the Touch, in order for GPS to work, you have to (1) install software (SPL) that allows you to (2) install a "leaked" Sprint ROM (read: not official) that enables the GPS radio on the Sprint Touch. the entire process is discussed in great detail on ppcgeeks.com. oh yeah, read and re-read to ensure you understand the pros/cons of enabling the GPS features. by the way, i have it enabled on my Sprint Touch and it works well! good luck!

Who is your carrier? If it's Telus I highly suggest that you call and complain... same for Sprint actually... Did the salesperson SAY that GPS or "Navigator" would be available? If they did, they were telling you a lie. It's possible that it may be included in the upcoming updates, but trust me when I say that the salespeople don't know when the update is coming or what's in it. They don't know any better than us what will be included.
Yes, in all likelyhood there will be some minor hacking involved to enable GPS. We think they'll include support for their OWN navigation software (i.e. Telus Navigator), and if that is the case it's a matter of a few tweaks to get GPS running system-wide.
If the update doesn't include that much, a homebrew rom will be your only option to get GPS. Yes, the hardware is there.

I have sprint and was using google maps, and I called up sprint and the GPS is enabled and they can only give support for there apps. We'll im just wondering on my moto q it had wm 6 and i could access these settings
Code:
The settings i have in Start > Settings > Phone Settings > GPS
Settings are as follows:
Number of Fixes: Always ON
TIme between fixes (seconds): 2
Performance (seconds): 16
Accuracy (meter): 256
and I could use the GPS with Google maps.
I tried to find these setting in the touch also and they weren't there, the only ones i found were for External.
Any clue why this option isn't on the touch but on the Q? I'd assume they'd be smart and put it on the touch too since its more expensive.
Thanks for all your help I'll give what Cortez said a try.

It is NOT enabled, Sprint rep's are playing dumb. I called them the other day to ask about the upgrade 3.02, the rep said "its on the web page" that, of course, was BS. If it is a sprint rom, than you can just run the leaked rom and it will update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394039

Don't fully quote me on this, as I just recently got a HTC device, so I've been heavy into the flashing threads lately.
Currently the Touch, for any carrier, until updated, does NOT have the GPS enabled, but the hardware IS there. The problem is with the RADIO being version 1.XX, and in order for GPS to function, you need a 3.XX version. So, at least in my case, you will need to flash. Be sure to very extensively read up on the "How-To's" of flashing this device. ANY, and I mean ANY mishap on doing this can have you running back to your carrier paying for a new device. Don't be alarmed by all the warnings, because this will work for you. But, DO NOT skip anything in the forums about flashing. Read every page if you need to.
You can be sure to pinpoint yourself on a map starting here:

Yes, definately do it. I'm not that great with computers,eyc. but i read a ****load and this is a no brainer. Besides there is tons of help available if you f%@* up. just make sure you understand the steps before you take the leap... look at PPCGeeks for OMJ's custom roms.
I've been using the bell ROM for 2 weeks with ZERO issues.
GPS tracks me anywhere I go.
Good luck

Telus ROM - GPS hardware
I've spoken to a Telus Tech Rep... there IS a planned ROM update for the Touch. I did ask also about the GPS feature. It DOES exist on the phone.
IT can be "unlocked" however it wil void warranty. You are quite correct about the Telus Navigator - a PAID service of $10.00/mo. I'm NOT happy about tahat as my plan is expensive enough as it is. One of the reasons I picked up this device IS GPS. I'm Not happy about these developments.I've had other issues iwth the Telus Touch too, but that's for another forum of discussion.
Good luck guys in finding a GPS solution that works for ALL of us.
Makes me wish I knew hwo ot hack.

I got my Sprint Touch to use GPS without a monthly fee.
I used the leaked official rom to update my phone to WM6.1 and activated Rev A GPS. How to do this is very well laid out on PPC geeks and pretty intuitive.
Now which GPS program to use, after much investigation and failure...the only one I found working well was the Garmin Mobile XT. You install the program properly and it will work. It doesn't need to be primed or use an extra program to pre-activate your GPS.
Used it last night and it worked brilliantly well.

No GPS Verizon XV6900 (Vogue)

Oh kay... I really hope I don't get yelled at for not searching or something but I can't find anything and I seriously need help. I have the 3.42.50(I think) radio and OMJ's Custom Verizon Rom and I just can't get a lock. I've tried thousands of tutorials and haven't had any luck. On my current flash I've used this tutorial, and haven't gotten a lock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I'm pretty desperate. ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

First, to make sure you have the updated radio (which you probably do) go to start/settings/system/Device Information and check there to make sure.
I wish I had had such a detailed set of instructions to follow when I was setting up my US Cellular Vogue. I had to patch together instructions from 3 different sources to make it work. Of course it works, yours doesn't. Are you outside when you are trying to get at least your initial lock. When I first lock on I generally have to be outside, after it is once locked on I can go inside and it will retain a lock.

Check for my Tips thread, basic info on setting it up is there.

oh kay... sorry for the delayed response... anyway... i do have the updated radio and i dont think i've ever tried it outside... :-\ i have tried it standing right next to a glass door... also, should i be messing with the baud rate at all while trying to get a lock?... im not sure wat to do after i open GPS Viewer... i set the Com port to 4 and then i open GPS... is that all i have to do?...
and... can u send me a link to those tips TheChampJT? im bad at navigating forums... :-\

Have you ever run the MR1 on your phone? This would block third party apps from accessing your gps. If this is the case, you need to down grade to a none gps rom, the upgrade.

I might have... would a radio version be able to tell u if this is my problem?... my radio is currently 3.42.50... I did notice my radio version changed after the update so i just used cokes rom to flash it back and started using another rom...

If it came with verizon WM 6.1 or you flashed verizon WM 6.1 and let costumizations run, then you found your problem. Maybe if you tell use what you have done with it since you got it, it might be easier to diagnos.

I used this reported "Leaked Official Verizon Rom". IT WORKS!
ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Verizon/RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship.exe
You run it and allow it to customize and wahla...updated WM6.1 and the GPS works!
Gps has to be configured to use Com 4.
Use HTC Titan Quick GPS to updated satellite empiricals (GPS position data). I get cold fixes in 15 seconds indoors! Download it from: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4914&d=1201747040
You will have to do a "Over the Air" reprogram via *228, I think its option 2.
I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS WITH THE NEW ROM AND EASY AS PIE TO INSTALL!
Darn GPS is pretty dam close. I get 29foot accuracy 98.5% of the time!

ozzzzzzz,
did you change the location setting under phone settings? I forgot to check this and finally figured to look there.
Go to settings / personal / phone-----then hit services and select settings for location. Make sure that 911 is not selected. May be simple issue with that.

aGPS on Verison w\Radio 3.37.78 and NFSFAN's Cusom WM6.5
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=939180
KCDale99 Posted this, couple weeks ago, it still works people.!!!!!!!!........
I justreceived a new XV6900 in the mail today when mine suffered a hardwarefailure of some sort. The new phone came with the newest ROM whichincludes the 3.37.78 radio. Of course I turn on the phone, and updatesrun. This disabled the GPS even after loading a custom ROM. the aGPSfix would not work, and gps Viewer couldn't even find one satellite.
Ifigured this was just like an old, 'let the customizations run'problem. So I followed the steps found here with one exception:
<!-- m -->http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?titl ... ERIZON_GPS<!-- m -->
Onstep 4, I ran the RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_ShipOfficial ROM from Verizon. I did NOT let customizations run. I thenloaded my custom ROM. This puts me on the official Verizon radio.
After that, the aGPS fix worked like a charm and GPS is working.
Iknow this is a rehash of other issuew, but I wanted to let everyoneknow that the newest phones shipping are disabling GPS all together.
THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE!!!!!!! been at this for a week now with absolutely no luck until now this guy has it.................. 5-31-09
I used NFSFAN's custom ROM WM6.5v8 for my custom rom.
the only other thing i had to do is when i was done installing ROM's my phone would not authenticate on Verizon network, so instead of calling them i use the online MY Verison to activate my phone to a old Verizon i760 then re-activated my xv6900 online ordered (verizon) a week ago !!! I have tried every fix, etc... until this combo... except i never went to the leaked verizon radio been to the bell, us cellular, alltel, verzon, etc... and back again..... now it works...... with the fix this guy posted......QPST ip info fom the fix page, links all seem to work!
Again********THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE
XV6900 CAME STOCK ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!!

YOur first link is to reply to another thread, your second link takes me to the wiki main page, so no information on both whatsoever....

Nope. The only time I let customizations run was when I installed WM6.5.

I did the Coke .40, Sprint (no-run), Coke 2.31, Verizon (no-run), NSFANS WM6.5 (run) and then his two verizon cabs and finished with the aGPS hack with QPST. I used the Telus fix, but should I have used a different one?
I was able to get GPS (with locks after a few minutes outside). I don't think I am getting aGPS, though.
Doesn't aGPS help when you are moving or inside? I think that you would get faster locks (especially the first time) if aGPS is working.
BTW, that routine killed my voice line and SMS with a #8899 notification. Verizon networking is still working.

Todd you'll have to call Verizon and have them re-authorize your phone. The same thing happened to me when I tried that fix.

I will. That office is closed until Sunday. While I am waiting I am trying other methods and options.
I am currently on a Coke .40, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (no-cust), Coke 2.31, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (w/cust) followed by QuickGPS. This lets me see satellites and gets me fully back on a Verizon radio. (I will still have to call #8899 when their office opens)
Can anyone match up ROM versions with the MR1, MR2 designations? Is 3.37.78 MR1?

first you should run gps veiwer and get a lock before you open google maps.

Another Verizon GPS help thread plus a Pandora question

From what I've gathered reading about the GPS problems on XV6900's with Verizon....you might need to know the history of my ROM's.
1. I got the phone brand new 3 weeks ago and of course it came with 6.0 out of the box.
2. I installed the newest Verizon 6.1 ROM w/ radio 3.37.78
3. I then installed NFSFAN's 6.5 v7 ROM
4. I installed "NFSFAN Verizon GPS Registry.cab"
So for starters my GPS does not ever connect. I don't even know where to start. I've been searching and reading on here for 4 hours this morning and about 5 hours before bed last night. I just got really confused. Lots of what I found was regarding an older Verizon 6.1 update, so I'm not sure any of that was applicable to me. Please point me in the right direction so I can start using Google Maps. Thanks in advance!
Now Pandora.....I have installed the pandora app that I found in the NSFFAN's 6.5 FAQ thread. Well it installed fine, but when it asks for my email and password there is no where to input them. The screen is just solid blue and at the bottom says "Back" and "Sign In". I changed my hardware button to bring up a keyboard thinking that might help, but no such luck. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it once already. Once again thanks in advance!

Alright, I realize it sucks when there is a new thread every week about this, but there is also a ton of old information on this site and it makes finding an answer very hard and even when I think I know what to do I look at the thread date and it's over a year old....and thus refering to an old Verizon ROM. Obviously the answer in on this site somewhere I just need someone to point me to the most recent solution that also correlates with my ROM history and problem. If I have to I'll paypal someone $5 if they can get my GPS working.
I haven't seen anyone have the problem I'm having with Pandora. Has anyone had this issue? Am I actually alone on this one? Are there any other native Pandora program options?

So for starters my GPS does not ever connect. I don't even know where to start. I've been searching and reading on here for 4 hours this morning and about 5 hours before bed last night. I just got really confused. Lots of what I found was regarding an older Verizon 6.1 update, so I'm not sure any of that was applicable to me. Please point me in the right direction so I can start using Google Maps. Thanks in advance!
Now Pandora.....I have installed the pandora app that I found in the NSFFAN's 6.5 FAQ thread. Well it installed fine, but when it asks for my email and password there is no where to input them. The screen is just solid blue and at the bottom says "Back" and "Sign In". I changed my hardware button to bring up a keyboard thinking that might help, but no such luck. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it once already. Once again thanks in advance!

For the first time you open pandora,
open the keyboard before you open pandora,
it should stay open.
it's a problem with pandora itself.
also it seems to not be working correctly with 6.5 as of right now.
I put it on there for others to test for me,
but everyone is reporting it is a no go.
:/
hopefully pandora will release a update asap.
Also, gps issue,
verizon is blocking ip's or something like that,
therefore everything people are doing to make gps work,
is more of a work around.
And I'm sure verizon will figure out a way to counteract those as they are crafty son's of b*tches when it comes to people unlocking stuff they want locked down.

I don't think it has anything to do with software. (at least GPS) I have the same problems with Google Maps as well as TeleNav. I was on the phone for 2 hours with t-mo tech support and was told that it was probable an issue with Google not T-Mobile. There suggestion was TeleNav, when that did not work I called back and another hour later they stated it was an issue with my phone.... SOOOOO, I went today got a new one and STILL the same problem. Cant find Sats. or Location unavail. So at this point i have no idea what the problem is... Guess I'll call tech support

In my kaiser, I use WWE roms and I never had problems with GPS.
On my Frensh Orange ROM, there is no QuickGPS. But with the bad GPS signal level, it will never fix.

i feel sorry to hear ur problem.. my gps works fine.. in fact its better than my previous Touch Pro/Fuze .. my Rhodium locks gps satt within 10seconds
maybe have to wait for new Radio ROM..

Verizon is the scum of the earth. They screw with every feature a phone has, limiting bluetooth, GPS, wifi, etc.. I'm honestly surprised they don't totally screw up phones (beyond what functional removal they're already doing, that is).

has anybody an solution to this problem?

That's why I bailed out of Verizon a couple of years ago. They cripple features of the phone when those features might cause them to lose revenue (we wouldn't want your browser to save pictures when you can buy wallpaper through Verizon, would we?). I bailed out when I decided to replace my PDA with a PDA/phone and I didn't want to go with Verizon only to find out they're crippling PDAs as well.

Just upgrade the radio rom.
I was getting a GPS signal only once out of every 10 times I used it. As soon as I upgrade the Radio its fixed 10/10 the original Radio's were faulty/buggy when acquiring GPS signal.

can you give me the number of your radio rom version ?

Antonius has a patch for this, check the stickies.
