Hi guys
Just a quick question and I hope you guys can answer me.
I have got the MDA Vario with T-Mobile and have upgraded the ROM to 2.17.7.2 WWE (this is the Qtek Rom) and it works just great.
My question is, however, can I downgrade this ROM to the original T-Mobile ROM it came with?
I am wondering since I want to send the phone back to T-Mobile but am worried if they see I have upgraded it they will not take it back.
Please help.
Thanks kindly
You'll need to use lokiwiz to unlock the device and then reinstall the opriginal ROM. As you have an AKU2 ROM you'll need to downgrade the ROm first to an old custom QTEk ROM and then run lokiwiz to unlock then re-install the ROM. There s along post on this forum or the upgrade forum on how to do this. There are alos posts re putting the device back into it's original state if you need to ship it back to a vendor - can't find them just now but would suggest you trawl the forums... painful though it may be
Hey thanks loads. I have looked around to try and find how to restore everything but can't find it yet. I'll carry on looking but if you can suddenly remember where they are I'd appreciate it
Also, do I have to downgrade the QTek ROM first, or can I just install the T-Mobile ROM straight away?
Thanks again

Does it matter that the link above looks like it is for US? I have UK T-Mobile
DaveyG th solution is explained at http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...IBwAAABi/2UG&bcsi_scan_filename=viewtopic.php
If you want a TMo UK ROM got ot the TMo UK Site http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
Thanks JoninLA, the phone is unlocked using Loki already as that is how I upgraded the ROM, but I will make sure I have unlocked it and then install the original ROM from the T-Mobile site.
Thanks so much again, now I should be able to send it back, providing it all works...
The programmers of www.pdamobiz.com in Thailand have successfully unlocked the CID for HTC Prophet SPL 2.xx. More information is available at:

Wow, that's a very good news indeed
Now I just have to find an Orange France M600 rom to test if it work
I'll test with the Jamin one also...
If someone can upload the M600 french rom, i would be very grateful, thanks!!
Does anyone succefully download the unlock program? the connexion is very very slow on their server (I'm downloading in Bytes/sec :shock: instead MBytes)...
If yes, it would be nice to upload it on the ftp server, thanks!!

Thanks to someone that uploaded the file. It's here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Prophet/pdamobiz.com_downgrade_and_unlockcid.rar
Actually it was there ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Prophet/pdamobiz.com_downgrade_and_unlockcid.rar :wink:
Not sure what happenned to the Prophet folder on the ftp, I though there were more files inside yesterday :roll:
Thanks a lot anyway
Im probably missing something here, but isnt it enough just using Machinagod great No ID crack when upgrading a ROM?
Just copy it to the nbf files and run it, works like a charm.
So, what is the difference with this application?
I don't know the app you're talking about, but we're talking here about downgrading, not upgrading a rom...
Moreover, does your application remove CID on prophet with SPL 2.xx ?
well, should have tested that before speaking...
doesn't work for me, once run the downgrading program, I soft reset but the device stay blocked on splah and I can't connect back to active sync to run the unlock program... too bad, that seemed to be a good way to downgrade rom :?
...great work! just used it on my qtek s200 that i've accidently flashed with the latest o2 germany rom without cid-unlocking before. now i can really put any rom on it
thanks and cheers, lutz
did i work? what happen when you soft reset after running the downgrade tool?
thx !
everything worked as it should, no idea why it didn't work for you...
cheers, lutz
Ok thanks,
BTW, ignore my PM didn't though you'd reply so fast :wink:
do a hardreset and pray that you get it connected to active sync, buddy...
as said above, it worked exactly as they've said it will. i have no idea what went wrong for you so my help is poor...
cheers, lutz
Actually I tried various time... I'm on the last Dopod rom, i started as said, then when I reboot, the device is stuck on dopod splash screen...
So I have to go into the boot loader in order to reflash the dopod rom I have... at least I can do that and keep my S200 working
Maybe this doesn't work with the last Dopod rom, but at least it worked for others
we need a Thai to Eng. translation to understand the problem
Unfortunately my device can not continue with second step. After I softreset it; the device freezes. Neither hardresetting, nor putting in bootloader and continuing with hard or soft reset helps. I reflashed the latest Dopod ROM and continued to use it.
I can not read Thai language but from the original discussion (not english but in Thai language) I see that a number of people are having the same problem. I also understand that the suggested solution works for some others.
The english version is not a full translation of the original discussion; translation of a lot of answers are missing.
We need the help of our Thai friends to understand what is going on.
I guess that it works on certain rom version, if you've the dopod one like I had, then it confirm that this method is useless with the last dopod rom...
But we have confirmation it work with other roms... maybe it's not really working on SPL 2... roms :?
I took a look on the Thai version, now it's clear that it doesn't work on the last dopod rom SPL 2.15 !!!!!!!
cedrick - Sorry you have failed to CID-unlock your Prophet and congratulations to lutzh that has succeeded.
From the Thai version of this utility, many people could unlock their devices but some did fail to do that. Not sure only the SPL 2.15 or not that couldn't be unlocked but at least 2 people claimed that their devices are SPL 2.15.
The website programmers are still trying to investigate and find the solution to help people who failed. Please hang on. Good luck!
@cedrick:
Yeah my SPL is 2.15
@Khuanchai:
Thank you for information. Hope to hear better news.
Cheers.
No problems about the failure, that's already nice to see tools like that that can help a bunch of people.
Now I hope it will also work on the dopod rom as I really liked it and I would like to update my prophet with this rom. But I prefer to wait until there's a way to get back to whatever rom :wink:
I have a original rom on my phone right now, but i want to try some others,
can anyone tell me if i can make a complete backup of the phone as it is right now? So that if i do not like (or the other one doesn't work) the new rom can put my old rom back?
Greetings Kevin
Guys, first of all, thanks for the forums, this is great.
I got my hands on a pre-production herald unit and I have a couple of questions. First of all, here is what I see when I soft-reset:
IPL 3.80.001
SPL 3.80.001
GSM 02.69.90
OS 3.80.0.0
It's unbranded and the serial number starts with TY so HTC's e-club doesn't want to accept it ... here are my questions:
1. Can I CID unlock it and use the latest WM6 roms?
2. I put a 6GB microSD card in there and it'll only see 1.7GB. If I use the sdhc.77 cab file, it works for a while, and eventually stops workings (files disapear). I soft reset, and everything comes back to normal for a couple of minutes.
Can someone help me out?
Well id HTC e-club does not accept your serial number, is because your herald is branded with a phone provider's rom! I had that problem too.
When you start up your phone, doyou see your phone provider's company name?
That's a giveaway that it is cid locked!
Upgrading to wm6 does not cid UNlock your device! Everyone is waiting for the HARD-SPL to really work.
But untill then, the easiest way to free yourse;f from wm5, is to install touch-it 1.1 and then you have a nice wm6 rom on your herald.
thanks for the reply. No, it's not branded at all ... like I said, it's preproduction unit.
Is my radio version new enough for me to upgrade? Will the phone still work afterwards?
yes, it is!
is there anyway to downgrade a flashed rom back to the original wm5? i'm facing quite some problems with my device and i don't know if it's the device or the rom. so i thought of flashing back to wm5 to test and see. thing is, i can't find a place to get the original wm5 for my dopod m700
Next time try to search a litle better....
There are many threads about it...
And... Wiki is your friend...
