I downloaded the ROM Update from the Siemens Website and tried to update my new SX66 (Just purchased from Cingular on the 10th, on an AT&T plan and SIM card still)
When I ran the update I received the Error:
"Error 120: Country ID Error XHWOF568-XHWOF568-50-50-50. The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check the Vendor Website and download the correct ROM update"
I contacted Siemens & they replied with: "Version 1.14.110 is the original version, and 1.33.110 is the updated version for Cingular customers.
If your version is 1.32.115, then you have the AT&T variant and your SX66 already has the latest ROM version installed. If you have any other version that is not listed and you get this error, then the update does not pertain to your version of phone."
So what does the error really mean? I've seen the Fix to add the line to the RUU.conf file, but unsure as to what the error really is telling me.
So do I have an Old phone? Should I return it and get a Cingular Plan Phone? Others at my office have the Cingular Plan/SIM SX66 and can install the 1.33.110 ROM with no issues...
If I install the 1.40.00 ROM will it work with my AT&T variant?
I'm still under my 30 days with Cingular to return the phone.
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I have been to the wiki.xda-developers.com website and have seen the work around for this.
I'm curious as to the ramifications of changing the Country ID if I have issues with the phone in the future if/when I change to a Cingular SIM/Plan
Thanks,

The work arounds of the Country code ID and Carrier ID are only to insure that you can flash your device with a rom that is not from your carrier.
The Idea of the carriers is not to produce an Upgrade of a rom and let other non same carriers users flash that. (well thats there idea)
This we don't like as most carriers don't provide the upgrades or if they do not in a language that you want them.
----> Hence the tool that FIXES that small issue.
The CE and radio rom is the same across all version,
Its the EXT rom that has the meat in it thus it needs to be cooked.
If you have issues with your device that you can't solve with a rom upgrade or cooking then you need to be able to flash the Providers rom back onto it.
This gives the Techys in the shop the warm feeling that the phone has not been messed with.
I have a baked rom, all three components are from different sources, it was shipped in Germany in German, is now WWE Rom and has swiss Sim.
If I need to take it back to Geramany I flash a T-mobile upgrqade on it and I am off.
Hope this helps

I've downloaded to install the new rom file from the austrian t-mobile's webpage onto my mdaIII but when I started the program I was shocked.
The program said that it will "upgrade" my device to
CE Image version was 1.06.01
Extended Image Version 1.06.138
Radio Image Version 1.00.00
My original device without any rom upgrade had later versions. Did anyone try it to see whether it is just an error on the program's side and that maybe the device shows other version numbers once installed?
Hi,
I have recently upgraded my SPV M2000 to the M5000 and have donated (for a small sum), my old M2000 to my mother-in-law.
I was wondering, if I could flash the orange branded phone as it is with a t-mobile or generic flash.
I have a few reasons for this, mainly the orange software that is bundled is causing all sorts of problems with T-mobile, and also, that each time you reset the phone, it loads them all back on!
The current information on the device is;
Operator Version : 5.31.1.124
ROM Version : 1.31.00 WWE
ROM Date : 12/13/04
Radio Version : 1.06.02
Protocol Version : 1337.38
ExtROM Version : 1.31.124 WWE
Thanks in advance.
Hi
You need to spend some time in wiki and the ext rom kitchen to understand the branding (its the EXT rom that has all of that).
So if you dont wont to reload everything when you hard reset then you need to flush the ext rom or only have what you need in it. We call it cooking.
Link is in my sig
I flashed my firmware with one of the Cingular firmwares. (my mda was already unlocked) Now when I try to use one of the tmobile firmwares to flash back it gives me an error. This is what I have installed now.
Rom 1.8.10.12
Rom date 12/1/05
Radio version 02.13.11
Protocol 4.1.13.05
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.13.11
OS 1.8.10.2
Can anyone tell me what is going on here. The phone is working and the data services work. I need someone to post the link to the best firmware flash for my TMOBILE MDA (us version) I have service with Cingular. I need the ROM that has the best receiption and performance and the most features that will work on my MDA Please help.
if you want to go back to the T-Mobile original settings, you need to upgrade to the custom ROM and then downgrade back. If you just want to have the T-Mobile settings, stick with the 2.17 custom rom that Xelecin cooked. I've found that his 2.21 rom was a lttle buggy, but his 2.17 rom is spot on. It has the cid/sim unlockers built in.
good luck

Another Question
I did that and gave the MDA to my wife. I am looking to get a new phone and lookng at the Cingular 8125. Will I be able to unlock this phone with any of the utilities on this site.
There are almost a week that my Qtek 9100 is unable to connect to my Phone network. It keeps searching and searching. When I click on Manual Network Selection, I receive an error msg: "Unable to read setting from the network. Try viewing settings later ou disconnect data connetion and try again". What should I do?

ExtROM version 2.24a Mr. Clean
The SIM card is ok (I´ve tried on another mobile)
Thx
Did you already tried a (òh , ooh) hard reset or reflash? Otherwise it seems you're phone-receiver circuit is defect; you've got to go for repairs...
I´ve tried both: hard reset and reflashing with new ROM....
Nothing
This started after my battery runned out of power....
It didn't occur by any change after a new update..?
And what about you're radio version: isn't it your protcolversion? So, what radio version had you before and which one now?
(btw seems stupid but... try new sim unlock)
No, I upgraded to the new ROM after the problem....
I did a mistake about the versions: My radio version is 02.25.11 and the protocol version is 4.1.13.12....
I really don´t know the number of the older version of the radio, but it was working fine.
btw, the mobile was bought unlocked...
Thx, anyway.....
¹ (...but did you try sim unlockin' again...?)
² (off course you tested it on other locations...?)
I'm trying to SIM unlocking again, using Lockwiz02b, as I downgraded to ROM 1.5.4.2 WWE, but I'm receiving an error msg: "Could not update itsutils.dll to the currente version, is it inuse?"
BTW, as I upgraded to ROM 2.24 in english (the original ROM was spanish) should I understand that my mobile is CID unlocked?
(Why did you downgrade, that's not necessary for simunlock?)
For your utills.dll fault: maybe you need lokiwiz0.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...=0&postorder=asc&highlight=lokiwiz0+3&start=0
...with lokiwiz you unlock CID because of brand crossing ROM use, in order to prevent trouble (once CID unlocked it stayes unlocked) For language change it shouldn't be necessary.
For SIM unlocking you also can use i.e. attached file.
Dear All
I will appreciate if anyone of you can help me with this query.
I have a T Mobile MDA Vario (UK) and would like to upgrade it to WM6, i have got the upgrade ROM from T Mobile US website but when i ran it the error was "INVALID VENDOR ID" .
The details of my phone are
MDA Vario (UK)
ROM Version 2.21.2.6 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio Version 02.19.11
Protocol Version 4.1.13.09
Ext ROM Version 2.21.2.109
And for you all its a G4 device.
Looking forward to hearing from all you experienced professionals.
Wizard doesnt have official WM6, the one your got probably is for Dash.
And, I'm not sure if you can flash a US ROM to a UK phone without CID unlocking your phone. Invalid Vendor ID usually mean the CID-Lock on your phone is preventing it form flashing.
Thanks Hanmin
I am not sure mate, when i logged onto T Mobile USA website i choose MDA upgrade but since i have not being able to do it, can you suggest what shall i do now.
Hmm.. I did a check, it is rather interesting as there isn't really knew regarding WM6 upgrade for Wizard from T-Mobile. It is referred as MR1, which is different from AKU, but from what it is said, chances is, it is AKU, not WM6.
Usually, you ought to be able to download stuff from here
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
which, as of today (12 May 07), it is still the AKU update. I've updated my Vario UK with this one, it works. Anyway, from what I get from your phone info, yours is already AKU.
Many thanks Hanmin
I think then this is what i got, how can i get an upgrade for WM6 mate? any clues or help will be much appreciated.
