Confused newbie - Need advices - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi guys,
I'm looking forward to get myself a QTEK 9100 but I am from Canada and getting one is pretty hectic. As a result, I turned myself on ebay to look for one.
The prices of the Factory unlocked QTEK 9100 are just ridiculous. Obviously their prices were boosted.
I was then looking to see that I could get myself a T-MOBILE MDA.
I understand it is the same, and im pretty sure you guys have heard this million of times.
I was wondering to unlock this cellphone would lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b be enough?
After unlocking, would it behave like a "factory unlocked" QTEK 9100?
Also would anybody know a place where I could get myself a QTEK 9100 in Canada or that ships to canada and that has resonable prices? Otherwise i will go with the T-Mobile MDA
Would it be smarter to just wait to buy the HTC TyTN?
I know i wouldnt be able to use the 3G Features here because the network is not there yet.
Thank you for your time guys

can only answer the Lokiwiz question, yes it is enough. Used it myself before upgrading to X's custom 2.26. Good luck with your other ?'s

Im not sure if i read this correctly, but I think what I understood from it, that T-MOBILE had a sim unlocker and a rom updater that was available free?

Do O2 and Vodaphone 'Network Lock' their phones

I am hoping to get a wizard as soon as they come out and it looks like O2 and Vodaphone will be first. Do both these carriers lock their phones? I currently have an Orange and a t-mobile account so would prefer to use my existing sims and just use the new account as a means to "spead the payment costs" (I got my jam for free 9 months ago for the price of a £22 p/m contract )
If they do lock their phones does anyway know if the existing unlock methods will work.
On a different note, I much prefer the look of the qtek 9100 to the k-jam - are there any hardware differences apart from the look?

I'm %90 sure they do... plus as a rule Vodafone butcher the firmware of most phones.
Get either a Imate or Qtek you should find it unlocked as its not a 'branded' phone.
I would suggest that buymobilephones.net is the best place as you can get one of the above with a contract... I am...

UNLOCKING UNIVERSAL

Hello
My Question is if you can down grade the universal to WM2003SE
if you can do that you can use the unlock code we got on this forum
and if it is unlocked up grade to magneto (windows2005)
has anny one done this[/b]
Wouldnt make any difference as the Lock is held in the Radio Rom I beleive.
There also is no wm2003se for universal, it was designed as a 2005 device from start to end.
Nice idea, but I think making a working Unlock tool for the standard universal is a better idea.
is the o2 exec locked at all?
im travelling a lot between germany and uk, and therefore want to use my o2 plan simcard as well as my german eplus simcard.
The shop assistant in the o2 shop told me that i CAN use non-O2 simcards in the universal (o2 xda exec) without any problem. Could I also use a Orange PAYG simcard?
How much was it to officially unlock the phone?
thanks
Ive not received mine yet, but its possible they dont lock it. Unlikely though.
Can anyone with an Exec confirm if its provider locked?
Mine was unlocked on delivery. Also if you search these forums everyone else is reporting theres where not locked.
Can confirm that my Exec wasn't locked, tried both a Vodafone SIM and an Orange PayGo SIM with no problem.

theres no point downgrading to wm2k3....you'll only run into more problems...
wm2k3 is built to share ram for both ram and rom.....so, that means, your 43meg partition would have to be divided....and thats just too bad! So, i guess, you just need to stick with wm5 for the time being....and hope for a good rom update to come by!
Best,
San
I asked the woman at O2 this morning if it's locked and she said it would be... I'll let you know when I get it on Monday.

MDA Vario I

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) ;]

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Unlock HD2

Hi - i wondered if these can be unlocked - ive got an X1 at the moment which has performed brilliantly but id like to move to this phone if i can. Im up for getting one off of ebay but most are locked to tmobile or o2 of which i belong to neither (im on voda) if they can be then im there...look forward to hearing from anyone that can confirm....

Comfy
HTC HD2s can be unlocked. Use the SEARCH function before posting.
i did - i couldnt find anything - do you have a link...?
great, oh - and can they be reflashed with a generic rom..? the one im looking at is an o2 branded one so im assuming it will be populated with o2 stuff...or a cooked rom - dont mind which...
well, just pulled the trigger and bought it - should get it on tuesday so here starts my time in this area of the forum.....x1 for sale!
Flashing to stock ROM is not an issue. Just check the sticky in Leo ROM development. The question is if its SIM locked. Then just google for it
hd2 unlocking o2 uk
I am waiting for my unlocking code from o2... 26 more days to go.
My IMEI was refused by three different ebay unlockers as my phone is "very new".
o2 uk hd2 unlocking ideas anyone???
well, it seems somewhere on here is a guide for unlocking (i was told to search for it...) no reply on a link yet....
unlockitnow
unlockitnow.com got me a code for T-Mobile UK in 24 hours if you're in a rush. Unlocked HD2 now.
how much did it cost you....ive still got my X1 which is fine but....its a new toy....etc.etc...
well, it seems from looking through the various posts o2 are the more difficult to unlock....we do use o2 at work for our phones and blackberry's - so im going to mail our account manager and see if i can pull a favour....although ill keep looking around....
a little more info - the bloke that i bought mine off of on ebay was already one step ahead. Apparently on o2 at least there's a free service - if youre the original owner you can fill out a form and theyll unlock it for free although he has to wait 28days max for the code....if all else fails thats a start...
sorry - just cutting through everything - once my phone is unlocked can i just flash it with a stock rom straight from HTC??? - theres a new one on their site, and i did read about it in the news also - sorts out lots of problems apparently...
Not really, superCID means that you can use any sim card from any provider.
It needs USPL or HSPL to be able to install any rom.
Btw, it p***es me off that we need to pay so much for unlocking a phone...
a bit more info would be helpful - tried it?
That's the HSPL for the Blackstone. It's not created to work on our HD2.
I download the file. It's signed by Olipro !!!!!! Why there isn't a thread till now for HardSPL? Have you tested it?
Thank's for your answer
ah - thought it was too good to be true....at this point it would just be nice to reflash with the standard htc rom
