since i see this question pretty often in various boards i'd like to ask this question:
what is the status of the MDAc / XDAmini / QTEK S100 sim unlock software? is any of the fine xda-dev-wizards working on it?
any info that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

I recently lost a grommet covering and protecting the internal antenna to my iMate PPC. Now I'm receiving the following Error Msg: A wireless radio must be attached to use the phone. The T-Mobile SIM worked reliably in the past in my i-Mate PPC and works flawlessly currently in my Nokia phone, so I don't think the problem is related to the SIM chip. All that said, I'm looking for anyone able to service/repair/restore my much-loved iMate. Anyone knowing where I might obtain such service, please, please, please reply.
Much gratitude!!!

Hi!
When the main battery of Orange SPV M500 goes flat the phone will lose any data stored :x (unless I store all data on the expansion card or sim card).
Do you think there is hardware problem? Or is it a problem can I solve myself? How?
Thanks!

PS: Sorry but I need another help from you :? . I've posted another topic, because this pda is still lock (Orange); I've read some post telling some problem doing unlock (for ex: SPV M500 Locked to all Networks after Unlocking). Do you think is better to unlock or is better to totally change the rom?
Thanks twice!

No, thats technically not true ..
If both battery power were to be used, then you lose ALL your data and a hard reset is required ..
however, if you regularly back up to your pc, or if you use sprite backup or similar then its only a little downtime ..
Its not a problem with the phone/pda per se., its by design as each application installed will consume power ..
Hi everyone, I've just purchased an SPV M5000 off ebay and it should be with me on Wednesday. I've been reading up on this for a few hours but still have some questions which I'd appreciate some help with if you can.
I understand the Orange SPVM5000 is sim locked, is this true and how easy is it to unlock. I will be using this with an iBook and The Missing Sync software. I can use virtual PC if need be to flash the rom, but would I be better off going to a shop / market stall and paying a tenner?
My first question is: is the Orange branding as slow as the O2 Active branding? I'd hate it to be as slow as some reviews are saying.
I have read a lot about the corporate install option on the O2 XDA Exec, I presume this is available on the SPV M5000 as well - can someone please confirm? I have read that you need to enter the O2 connection settings on the Exec when you enter corporate mode, do you have to do this on the M5000 as well? If so can someone please post the settings?
If I flash the rom or debrand the phone, will I need to contact Orange to get GPRS & MMS re-enabled? They told me that they won't help me directly as I did not register the phone.
I am really looking forward to getting this but want to get it running at a good speed, so any assistance would be gratefull received.

First I would like to say you made a great choice going with Windows Mobile. After my first device I considered myself a spokesperson for WM.
I also had an Orange SPV M5000 in the past and if you call them up they will give you the unlock code. The free way would be to get Buzz_Lightyears sim unlock tool available from his website buzzdev.net
If you feel confident enough you can do everything to the phone yourself, but as it is a very expensive unit you have think twice about doing any flashing to the phone.
My o2 active UI was very slow, and only got slower as more programs were open. The orange one responds a bit faster, but I dont know many people who keep the original stuff on there anyway. There are so many programs out there that can do alot more.
I do not believe there is a corporate mode install on the Orange version but you dont need any connection settings anyway.
Once you get the phone you will have to configure the network settings for MMS and GPRS yourself. I notice that u have are with fido as I am, but am pretty sure the settings will be different since you are in the states.
You can try these setting for GPRS and see if they work:
APN: wap.fido.ca (or mayb .com)
USER: fido
PASS: fido
Your last question about speed is that there are so many programs out there that enable you to do what you want but you have to keep in mind that each open program slows the phone down so you have to make a compromise somewhere.
Hope this helps
Thank you very much for your help. I set my profile up wrong initially when I registered on here, I am actually in the UK and will probably use an Orange SIM for the phone, so I don't really need to unlock it I guess.
I would like to change the software though, could you tell me what settings I will need to enter and where (I will find the actual values for Orange UK)?
Many thanks
James

Hi there
I was wondering is the anyway to debrand Orange SPV M5000

Hey,
if you do a little research on this forum and its wiki it's not hard to find the methods to reflash your Universal with another provider ROM. If this is what you mean by debrand
Take a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
If you find any error it's quite possible you'll find its solution in the forum already
Good luck!

Yes it is possible to have ROM of ur choice to ne same model , and it is not at all a complicated process its just a same procedure as u upgrade ur device with ur official ROM with some added 2-3 steps and thats it .
Hello all...This may be my first post but i have beed watching the forum for quite a long time!You are doing a great work around here!
I need a big favor from anyone that can help!Does anyone have the original SPV m1500 rom provided by orange and can upload it somewhere for me to download?Or can anyone back up his ROM from a m1500 and upload it somewhere?
And i have question as well and i would be grateful if you could answer this one!
If you haven't CID unlocked your phone and somehow managed to upgrade the ROM with a different make's one (i have one from Qtek 2020i at the moment) will it be blocked by the network or is a matter that the person that i bought it from (over ebay) reported it as lost/stolen?Currently everything works fine apart from the phone bit!It says no service and can't detect any network!(it just says ''unable to read setting from the network.Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again'').
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi,
I am a newbe with the MDA´s and I hope you can help me.
I have a T-mobile MDA Vario I that is locked to Tmobile. I would like to unlock it. Is this possible? What do I have to do?
Is it possible to install Windows Mobile 6 on the Vario 1? I would need a german version and instructons.
I have used the search function, but it always says the search term is too short and I do not know what my Vario I actually is ( qtek 9100, HTC Wizard? ).
Thank you in Advance!
Welcome to the wizard owners community
Your device is just wizard. It has many names though. Mine is the same, but probably you have a german one. As for unlocking, i used lokiwizb tool, found here in the forum, but i guess it is easier to do it with aWizard application, also found here. all you need is a usb cable, activesync and mentioned software. Don't remember the details (it was over 1.5 year ago and i don't do it often) but it was quite easy and worked. I'll try to find direct links and post them here. Hope i can help. On the other hand, WM6 upgrade shouldn't be a problem at all, but someone else must help you cause i don't know a thing about a details of it (i'm a happy WM5 user) ;]

G3 or G4 is a chipset version. it plays a big role in flashing your phone, so read about how to determine which one you have, and what should/shouldn't you do to your MDA, it is IMPORTANT so be carefull.
As far as I remember, sim card is not required during unlocking process. (painfull mistake, i bought tmobile sim for 7 pounds just to learn I don't need it, and even worse, my girlfriend already had another one
