MDA Vario T-Mobile Software

Hi everyone
I have just bought my MDA Vario all is great, but I have noticed that the T-Mobile Customization software slows the device a great deal, has anyone attempted getting rid off it and how? The T-Mobile software is really annoying please help guys !!!
Cheers
Arthur

Molski made two version netherland (NL) and English (WWE) version so if u want english then upgrade it to that and after 10 minutes u will see the effects that i say !!

Which english version do I go for the normal or G4 what is the difference?
Sorry to be a dumb arse guys but I'm fresh as they come to this...
Many thanks in advance

this is for G3 and G4 is i think in US and if your phone is G3 then this is the right ROM for u. ROMS of G4 doesnot fully support G3 so there u should split IPL/SPL and then upgrade. but if u have G3 then mloski have done the spliting so that u can upgrade it.

G3 or G4 ???
I'm in UK mate so I presume it's the G3.
Many thanks
Arthur

G3
Hi I have just tried to flash the rom using the g3 version and it moaned to me with the following:
ERROR [300] : IVALID UPDATE TOOL

Arthur

if this is too much u can hard reset follow this :
1. press the comm manger button + voice button + reset butto the same time and then after 3 seconds release reset button and wait u will have black screen with this text : press send to restore factory default,other keys to quit
2.now press send key (green phone key)
3. it komes to install mode.
4. when installation is finished it comes to screen where it says wait for 3 seconds sttings will be installed immediatly reset the phone this will not allow it to install the extended rom of t-mobile ::
5. the t-mobile internet settings u can find them here in this site

here is the link with all the info;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50768
download lokiwiz 03a.zip there and then it will do the work just follow the topic and the software that unlocks the phone.

I reccomend SIM and CID unlocking before upgrade, because it is much harder (or impossible) later... just my $.02. If you need details (they may be in the above linked thread...) ask here or if you need them faster, PM me.

What rom are you trying to put on? If you have the problem i think you have, i would not go around asking everyone cus you will get smoked! As its on here like a million times!

First off take your storage card out.. .. send off, flash back to original carrier rom... leave storage card out and flash again..

CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe

where can i find th original t-mobile 1.08 rom for the mda....
i cant seem to find it nowhere....
i had the same problem wen i was upgradin to wm6

I guess it does offend the moderators because I just posted the same question after searching and searching for weeks on resolution on this issue. They toasted my thread, probably this one too and I hope they don't because after reading 100+ posts on this topic, there was no resolution. Of course I tried without the SD card. I tried the 1.05 ROM as well as xenin's T-Mobile 2.26 ROM with built in CID unlock and both froze at 98%. By the way is your QTEK 9100 from the factory because mine is and I think this is the common denominator in this problem. Please someone help cause I'm probably new to this forum (not to howardforums) but I know my phone stuff so this is a real issue! Thanks in advance and pls do not delete this thread. Thanks.

You better start re-reading the 100+ posts!
First of all your WIZ needs to be CID unlocked - a 'build-in' CID unlock in a ROM you're trying to flash will not help!

I understand that. That was my second way of trying to resolve it. I originally followed the "The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards" post and followed it word for word (and read all 36 pages). I tried flashing buttons 1.05 ROM (http://rapidshare.com/files/18212239/CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe.html) and got the 98%. The second time I thought I'd give it a shot and tried xenin's T-Mobile ROM with built-in CID and it froze at 98% too! My suspicion is that there is something different about factory phone than SP branded phones. Anyone else?
I also rebooted my PC and phone. Deleted all my session temp files. Tried 3 different computers. Tried without SD card. Everytime I it froze at 98% and had to revert back to the original QTEK 9100 ROM (2.17). And just for kicks I tried installing T-Mobile's original 2.26 ROM and it gave me a "vendor match" error, meaning it's still CID locked.

Umm, if you bought it straight from HTC/Qtek, wouldn't it already be unlocked? From your last post, it seems you do not have a branded or locked phone...

It is SIM unlocked which means I can use an SIM card. BUT it is not CID unlocked meaning that I can't flash the ROM to another maker's ROM (like QTEK to T-Mobile or QTEK to Cingular or QTEK to Custom ROM).
I wsa thinking that HTC and QTEK have tight bonds and was wondering if I can make the jump to an HTC ROM and CID unlock it from there. Not sure if that makes a difference. Kinda stuck

You must flash a FULL carrier 2.xx rom before flashing any custom rom from this site (other than the ones used for CID unlocking)
You will have issues if you skip step 17 of the Definitive guide to Unlocking and Upgrading G3 Wizards (Sticky in this forum).

Qtek 9100 problem

hi im sorry if i ask a questian who already asked i guess.
Iv been searching for an answer but did not find any.
I´v tryed to update my rom on my qtek 9100 so i could get WM6 in to my device, but it´s always stops at 99% when im installing. so now when i turn the device om i just have the screen whit 3 diffrent coulors on, so pleace any one can you help me get WM6 in my device or else i have to jump on it and throw it in to the trash. Sorry for my poor english im an swedish idiot...
Best reegarde Andreas...

I presume that your phone is still SIM/CID locked.In order to get your phone upgraded to wm6,its required to have it CID unlocked first.
Which is your device, G3 or G4 ? Post IPL/SPL...?of the phone here,to determine the G3 or G4 version of the phone,cuz for CID unlocking,both have different methods.
Cheers!

Cant start it now... Im realy angry at that little thing now...
its all black in the display. Do you have any good thing to do about that?
got it started for just a 5sec then its blck again... done that about 3 times last houer but it want start...

When it gets like this is there no more to do other then throw it in the trach?
or is there hope , can i do like a hard reset or something?

Yes !
Its a G3,download the official stock rom of your carrier from its website,get the phone into bootloaders (multicolor screen),connect via usb cable,watch small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloader screen and run the RUU,let it complete and your phone will boot up to default status and then download WST tool and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID lock.unlock status.
But always get the battery charged before flashing.
Cheers!

Has installed the TNT rom now latest.
Hov do i get the HTC look whit a digital watch??

I assume you mean the HTC Touch clock. It's really a lot more than a digital clock.
Try this: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html

which rom shall i use if i want a clean WM6 and install the htc Home plugin.?

need help htc 8125

hi i was trying to flash my friends htc 8125 with the tutorial on this web and now i just have 3 color display or boot mode i think. im new this was my first time i flashet first with buton ... flash but not work error 302 but after i flash with alternative flash was in the tutorial and i get an error to so i dont know what to do how to repair
HTC CINGULAR 8125
IPL 1.05
SPL 1.05

I'm kinda of new too, but I believe you just have to pick the rom u want to flash up to. U r at the ideal ipl & spl. I just did that to mine about a week ago and then flashed it EXACTLY like forum said and then just update to 3.XXIPL & 3.XXSPl. After which I picked 1 of the TNT rOMs and wella! try to flash it up now

i dont know wheres to find the roms do you have a link or something

Have you CID unlocked yet?

Obviously not unlocked yet!
Cause he stucks on step 1 !
hahahaha upgrade an original rom... try the 2.26 tmobile not 3.08 please...

Hey Que
I will be getting T-Mobile any hour today...
I will be following all the instructions and try to use a Cingular card on it.

I'm trying to decide what to use for updating the rom on this 8125 the ipl reads 2.25 the spl reads 2.25. in the tutorial there isnt any mention of these that I can ascertain. the other numbers are os 2.25.11.1 gsm 02.25.11
Is this even a necessity. The unit shuts down and is very difficult to get restarted, seems to be a good unit, just looking to make it more reliable. Thanks in advance for the help.

Your phone is running the official cingular stock rom and has official IPL/SPL 2.25 (Bootloaders),its nothing to be worried about,now it depends if you prefer to reflash the official wm5 rom or wud like to upgrade to latest wm6.1 custom build roms.
If you want to keep official then download the official wm5 stock rom and simply flash it,but if you desire to upgrade to latest wm6.1 rom,as no official wm6 roms are provided,therefore,you'll have to flash a custom build wm6.1 rom,and for that you'll have to get your phone CID unlocked.

my phone is in boot mode i dont have the roms im new wheres can i find the rom that you say the tmobile my phone was with the original cingular rom or where can i find the original one

mmmmm ok!
I dont have the link but you an enter in wiki section for wizard... is a thread that said wizard goes wiki click there and then it tooks you to the wiki pages! there... you can found a link that takes you to the original roms... choose the one you see for cingular..... some links are broken so dont desperate maybe we can found other one... if you dont get it there you can choose the search tool just follow my steps on my signature says The XDA search culture...
Dont be afraid men you only need to use some more things to start unbricking your phone... (I hope so) many things tooks time cause we dont read enough now lets work men!!!
Well avoiding duplicatted posts this is gonna change many times
Here is my RUU without ID http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429327&page=9
I didnt found the cingular but try to unzip the exe file with winrar... the nk.nbf can be cutted and pasted in the RUU folder to upgrade it without ID vendor permissions... we will on touch men!

Xplain more
Xplain more of your problem remember that unlock upgrade flashing dids most be done on XP and without SIM and MiniSD pluged... be sure your batt is full charged and your USB cable dont have troubles.
Can you privide more info abour exactly what you have done... please men we need all you got
OH remember not to use so much your phone on Bootloader screen cause we need the batt almost 70% to downgrade unlock and upgrade again it dont charge in RGB screen.

About getting official Wizard Cingular ROMs.
I called HTC and Cingular they say that HTC is not licensing the Wizard WM6 from Microsoft anymore, so they are not supplying the ROMs for the public.
No official support from Cingular/HTC on Wizard for WM6 or 5 for that matter.

I'm new to pdas I've only ever had cell phones so with that in mind its confusing as to where to start. I'm electronic savvy when it comes to car repair, however some of this is daunting at best. I'd like to take this semi-bricked wizard to the next level.
Everytime I find what I'm looking for the webpage is obsolete, what to do?

First,always post the DOC Chip version of the phone,what is the IPL/SPL of the phone.
Secondly,what exactly is the problem and what you want to do ?

the ipl/spl are at 2.25 and the specific problem is that wen in hibernate mode the only way to work with it is to remove the battery to restore functionality, then that resets the factory settings of time and date and also drops calls etc.

Its a G3 version,download the official stock wm5 rom from here and flash it:-
http://download.america.htc.com/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.exe
But,if you want to upgrade to latest wm6 then follow this link and do it correctly as the guide reads :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
Good luck

Well I think its bricked no screen and no charge light, should I buy a new battery or just sell it for parts? I really tried to find the correct place to update and I goofed what can I say its my responsibility, is thereanymore I can do from this point?

G3 devices don't get Bricked like this,by just flashing a rom,untill and unless you have flashed any G4 IPL/SPL on it,otherwise,G3 phones never get Bricked.So most probably its the battery,try to get the battery charged or get another battery from a friend and confirm it.

As an update and thank you very much. I purchased a new battery and the the store was good enough to pre charge it. We installed the above official wm5 file and its currently going throuh re updating itself. I did happen to notice that it now has an AKU2 file. Is this an update over and above what I had originally?
Once again thanks....
Are there any problems with 3G sim cards because when I installed the card the phone reacts as if there is no battery. No charge indicator or any activity.
Problem solved, it helps to have the sim card properly seated.......

Thanz!
You are most welcome,glade its working.
Yes,the above rom is AKU 2,its an upgrade to your previous official Rom,always try to keep the battery fully charged,as it creates many problems if it gets below the required retention charge of 30%.
Try out the Guide I posted above and see if you can get it CID unlocked and upgraded to latest wm6.1 rom,thats where the fun begins....!

Upgrading Problem

Hi.im trying (with many ROMs) but everytimes i return to my previously ROMS (i have A modded ROM,i flash a B modded ROM,after that i return to A modded ROM without see the B ROM)
How can i do?

What?????
xplain detailed please...
i need to know what is a modded rom
what is B moded mod
what is the issue
and what is your info IPL SPL and more things
about wich rom you have
and what you want too...

trying anothrer Room i bricked..any way for unbrick?pls

You'll never get a valid advise or help untill you post the vital data of the phone.So always post DOC Chip version of the phone and try to explain as simple as possible what you did and what exactly is the problem.
No one can help you like this.

Sorry for double posting but the brick came out after the 'upgrading problem' anyway how can i get the DOC chip version?
My device is ,ops was.....ç_ç , an I-mate K-JAM G3 , what else...

ok, have you ever noted the IPL/SPL version of the phone,it always displays at the first splash screen written in Red usually,do you exactly remember all those numbers ? were they something like 1.xx or 2.xx or 2.xx.0001 ?
k-jam phones come as both G3 and G4.

sure a G3 , i dont remember the precise numbers,but first time i flashed (months ago) i remember that i choose rom for G3,sure 100% it is/was a G3

Ok,download official k-jam rom 'K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip' from the following link and flash to recover back to its default status,then download WST_4.2.2 tool and run.Post the report generated by the WST tool here.
