please help me on my mda i'm trying to unlock it?! help me to unlock the simlock?! please?! i use lokiwiz02b but nothing happens?!
read the wiki.
You need to check if your wizard is a G3 or a G4 device.
do a soft reset and check your IPL/SPL; a G4 PDA will report an IPL and SPL similar to 2.21.0001 and a G3 PDA will report something similar to 2.21 (notice the G3 doesn't have the trailing .0001!)
if you have a G3 check out this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
if you have a G4 check out the threads in the G4 Section.
I know reading all the stuff in here may seem annoying but it really helps.
enjoy!
If you have the MDA 90 days call T-Mobile and get the unlock code/sequence from them. It's free and they will give it to you.
Since I added my MDA to a family plan they gave the unlock code/sequence without the 90 day wait.
Yeah, it's not as slick as a cool program, but it does work and it is free.

Has anyone found a cure for this device yet? I was told to get my replacement from the 800 number well I did and it was that darn IPL 2.25.001. I have 4 of these things all new we like the design of the 8125 better than the mda... problem is we want to use the cooked ROMS. I have posted messages and searched but no one can seem to find a way to CID unlock them. Before I fork over anohter 40 bucks usd to use the imie check website. I need to know will be be able to use the cooked (modded roms) that are here on the XDA forums.......... Has anyone with the :
IPL 2.25.001
SPL 2.25.001 succesfully used any of the cooked roms. Please note these came from the factory like this. No updates are modifications have been made to these devices. We got them for a good price from an overseachs vendor they sell for $225 new. They are still locked to Cingular and we need to know should we throw in the towel and get our money back and just settle for the Tmobile MDAs (apparntly the MDA's have not met the infamous G4 Chip upgrade) Any light you can shed on this would be a great help.
nevermind.
If you CID unlock (using imeicheck website) then you can used cooked roms. The catch is that you need to remove the bootloader (IPL/SPL).
If you read the thread on homecooked roms you will find easy instructions on how to do this.
Hi,
Im looking at upgrading from the Magician to the Wizard on T-Mobile.
Please answer these Q's for me:
1) Is the Remote assistance any good over WIFI?
This function would be really good for me so please post your experiences with it.
2) Is it easy to unlock?
I done searching but cant find much.
3) What ROM should I install on it?
I put the IMATE Jam one on my Magician, but what is the best one to use on the Wizard?
Thanks alot.
Greatly appreciated/

I'm not much help for you but I will say I never could get WinVNC to work on my phone. I haven't tried any other method.
WinVNC isnt the defualt that comes on the phone is it?
Thanks
Unlocking is easy as long as you don't have the latest ROM installed. Some people have apparently downgraded their ROM to an older version, unlokced the phone (SIM and CID) and then you're free to upgrade to any ROM you like. Check out the big threads on Lokiwiz for more info.
As for what ROM to choose, I've just installed Mr Clean ROM and am very happy with it (see current threads in the Wizard Upgrading topic). He's also done a T-Mobile variant, if you want the T-Mobile stuff added (inc skins) but I personally put in the really clean version and then added just the MMS/GPRS/etc T-Mobile setup stuff, as I never liked T-Mobile's colours much.
One hint - if you want more replies, use a topic subject that's a bit more specific than "I need help", or peole just won't read the thread. Let us know what you actually want to know!

Mr bob - if you are getting a brand new t-mobile vario chances are it will have the new G4 chip which can only be cid unlocked via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ for a cost of approx £30 or so. You can tell if it has a G4 chip by looking at the ipl/spl numbers when it boots up. If it has a number ending in .001 then it has a G4 chip.
There is a free way to upgrade your rom that does not update your ipl/spl see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
You can sim unlock (but not cid unlock) a G4 chip enabled device with lokiwiz 0.3a
Why not wait a short while and get the varioII aka hermes\tytn? Better specs than the wizard.

I've avoided the custom ROM's because there seem to be too many issues reported, and I haven't found the standard U.S. T-Mo ROM to be a problem for me. Doing some tweaking, including overclocking, has made this device very useful.
Follow the instructions here to bypass loading the T-Mo extended ROM:
http://www.lvlolvlo.net/PDA/MDA/FreshnClean.htm
You can then add each CAB individually to your taste. This author suggested that you must load the items in red, but I only added four of these and my device works fine. In fact, for a while I didn't have any of these CAB's loaded, and the only thing I missed was SmartDialer.
I don't use any internet features except wifi (freebies, not T-Mo hotspots), so I left most of it out.
Cheers, phone come this morning and im in the process of doing this stuff
Hi!

Is your Prophet a G3 or a G4?
How can i tell
Hi!
How can i tell it was G3 or G4? can you please guide me. i also downloded tht noVendor ID rom. it falshes it upto 80% then it gives same NBF error. please help me.
Thanks
i guess it is G3
Hi!
I guess it is G3
thanks
You can tell if it's G3 or G4 by reading the wiki here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=prophet_g3g4_how. Basically if your IPL/SPLversion ends with .0000 then it's a G3. If it ends with .0001 it's a G4.
If you flashed a G3 device with a G4 ROM, well ... I'm afraid it's bad news because you could have bricked your phone.
please please
please please tell me that is not it. there must be some solution. i cant just let it go. i cant get it replaced so it has cost me a lot. is there any any way please

What is your IPL/SPL version to start with? You need to confirm whether you have flashed the wrong ROM or not.

OK then, your device seems to have an IPL from a G3 and an SPL from a G4. This is probably because you flashed a G4 ROM on a G3. Did the ROM Update of Jester's ROM finish succesfully? If it did, can you try holding all the three buttons (Camera, Power, Comm Manager) while hitting the soft reset?
If the device comes back with a prompt to "Press the Send button ... " just hit the green telephone button and you're set to go. If it doesn't give you this prompt come back here and tell us what it's doing.
As someone told you in another thread I would suggest installing the latest ROM from imate, i.e. this one ftp://xda:[email protected]/JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip. Alternatively you can download it from www.clubimate.com (you need to register first).
When i Try to Reset it
Hi KTA!
i did what you said. when i press send it says format failed. what next thanks already and need more help.
Thanks
I just bought my wizard form ebay. it t-mobile mda i dont know if it locked or not. but i was reading stickeys and found out that its g3 device becuase its IPL/SPL is 2.26. i want to chage the rom to NBD v8.3 i want the touch cube. could someone please help me.
thanks.
If you don't know ... just do the unlock process to make sure it is unlocked (...and read the stickies again to make sure that all instructions are clear).
.. or you may want to use the WST tool to check about the CID status of your device.
The person who tried to upgrade his 8125 has got into some problem in uploading a new version to his 8125 & finally he worked it out. But now the phone has crazy IPL & SPL like IPL-1.01 & SPL-3.08. Therefore, can anyone tell me how to make this normal again???
Because of this I can't figure out whether the device is a G3 or G4 device......
