Hi Paul
I know that this is your website, and I don't want to be a pain, but could you add info about ROM updates to the appropriate place in the wiki as well as news items?

[Rob.P]

Anyone else finding the FTP really slow (probably cause you've all just got the MSN alert and are downloading it, no doubt )

[PaulOBrien]

Good call, i'll make sure I do that.

I take it that this will only update HTC only units and not network branded ones???

Cheers

Right! Well I've never flashed my Vario II before, but I've been waiting for this. Better start reading up on how to do it safely!

I have an unadulterated vario 2 and am also wondering about the merits of upgrading to WM6 - I recall seeing a post a while back about safely backing up an original ROM. I'm guessing this would be useful tutorial before trying to upgrade the device?

Am I right too in assuming warranty voided if upgraded?

thx

[finisterre]

Can anyone who has installed it tell me if it includes Office 2007 apps? Thx.

[sketchmasterx]

Anyone tried this on a vista PC? I get something like a "error (254) cant get connect to device", even though the device is sync'ed and gone into that weird mode ready to be flashed.

[sketchmasterx]

Ok so resetting the phone after the initial connect seem to solve the first problem, now when it starts to install the image i get Error 260 connection failed.

Does that include the SPV M3100? Can I apply this update to my SPV M3100??
Thanks

[PaulOBrien]

This is for HTC TYTN DEVICES ONLY.

My Vario II is SUPERCID ever since I SIM unlocked it. I thought that meant I could install any Hermes ROM on it?

[Rob.P]

^ If you've SUPERCID'd your device it should still be true that you can install this ROM (I'll find that out myself later when I get home), I think Paul's message was to the average users who aren't interested in mucking about with their ROMS and want only official upgrades.

You can update with this ROM but all of your settings for mms and what have you will be cleared away with HTC's own settings

BE PREPARED

I have a Vario II and I aint taking no chances until I get the official T-Mobile upgrade which ive been waiting on for more than 6 months!

[PaulOBrien]

You might be waiting for ever for that one...
