Guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hi all, I am considering updating my Vario II to the new Black Dymond 3.5 ROM and have a question before I take the plunge. On the standard T-Mob ROM, when using WIFI, only the TKIP encryption method is supported when using WPA-PSK. Can anyone tell me if the WM6 ROMs add support for AES? It would certainly be good news if it did as I would then be able to stop weakening security on my router just to allow my phone to connect! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UndeadDevil Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) It does indeed support AES, Aswell as WPA2. Edited June 3, 2007 by UndeadDevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 It does indeed support AES, Aswell as WPA2. Excellent! Thanks for the quick reply...now to start playing and, fingers crossed, not brick my phone! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest touficjohn Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 How easy and safe is it to upgrade? I wouldnt know the first thing about "un-bricking" the phone.... I'm just used to frying servers and routers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UndeadDevil Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Excellent!

Guest matho Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Authentication & Encryption standards supported in Black 3.5 Dymond: Open: Disabled, WEP Shared: Disabled, WEP WPA: TKIP, AES WPA-PSK: TKIP, AES WPA2: TKIP, AES WPA2-PSK: TKIP, AES I haven't tested all of these set-ups, so can't confirm if they work or not.

Guest UndeadDevil Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Radio Version: 1.03.06.00 Why are you still using such a old radio version. Thats the exact version I had on my phone, it was awfull! Call quality was really bad, HSDPA half worked, only went upto 50kb/s (Now gets about 140kb/s in the exact same place on the desk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cautious about upgrading the radio as the more recent ones can't be downgraded in the case of needing warranty support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest burnsnet Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Is there a guide on how to move my T-Mob WM5 to WM6? If so could somebody PM me and put me on the right route? Is it worth doing or is the concensus to wait for the Official T-Mob ROM if and when its released - does anybody know? Thanks Burnsnet :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UndeadDevil Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) What version are you using? I'm cautious about upgrading the radio as the more recent ones can't be downgraded in the case of needing warranty support. 1.41 now, best for T-Mob from what I've read. Best for Orange is 1.38. Is there a guide on how to move my T-Mob WM5 to WM6? If so could somebody PM me and put me on the right route? Is it worth doing or is the concensus to wait for the Official T-Mob ROM if and when its released - does anybody know? There are no specific guides for T-Mob, would be kinda stupid to have a specific guide with the exact same insturctions would it... Yes its worth doing if you don't mind Voiding your Warranty (Basicly if your phone starts to badword up you'll have to badword it even more to get a replacement) T-Mobile will release the upgrade in the next few months if there going to. If you want to upgrade just follow Mr Vanx's guides. Edited June 7, 2007 by UndeadDevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you will lose all the GPRS, MMS settings. You can download a .cab file to re-install them or enter them maunaully after. You'll also lose all your contacts, text messeges, etc unless you back them up. I upgraded my Vario II last week and since have not encourtered even one crash with the phone. Its alot faster in every way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would I find the .cab or a full list of all the correct voice and data settings? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
