Hey Guys,
I am a newby around here. I just got myself an MDA Vario as well.
I guess the first step is to unlock the phone -->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796
Can find excelent info on how to do this on this link
I guess the next step is to update the ROM... BUT HOW??
I know where to download the roms (Either Qtek or K-jam)
But what is the next step?
Just connect the device and then run the exe from the computer and follow the instructions?
Maybe there is a link which provides a clear Howto, but I haven't found it yet between the many messages on this board.
Thanks for the help guys!!
Use lozwiz, unlock your mda and then unlock your cid.
This will prevent the dreaded wrong country id code
Keep all relevent files.
You can back up your rom if you want. Remeber the rom will be the size of your sd card.
Back up your extended rom if youw nat again.
Oce you inlock you cid, you can simply run the exe roms from the ftp site.
ok... I'll give it a try! THNX!!

Hi,
Im wanting upgrade to WM5, but im not sure what im meant to be doing when it comes to unlocking my extended ROM, According to the instructions i need to run a cab file, where abouts can i find this file to unlock my phone???
Please help!
Thanks
Mike
I don't remember the exact link for the cab file but to unlock it in WM5 you can download the cab @ zevink.com under unlocking tools in the download section. The original cab is on the wiki somewhere but I don't remember =/.

In my prev. post i was still struggling to find the detials of my phone. I have managed that but now i cannot find the right upgrade for WWE.
I decided to download the latest T-Mobile GER version and installed it. This works well i think. Would it now be ok to Download the T-Mobile version from T-Mobile UK (ie WWE version)? Naturally i would have to edit it before installing.
Please let me know soon! I need my MDA for work!!
Thanks

OK, you need to update your MDA3 to UK spec..? Assuming you're on the T-Mobile Network, you need to follow these steps..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade
More so, as you're going to get the Country Code Error (as the MDA3 thinks it's German as opposed to WWE) then you'll need to pay particular attention to the statements at the bottom of the page.. I have pasted them for you..
Wiki said:
However, if you are installing a rom on a device other than that which it is meant for, you will get a Device ID error, so follow these steps:
First Method (Quick/Easy) (TYPE II)
Download update to desktop
Unrar or unzip all files in exe or rar into a new folder
Open the folder with the extracted files
Download this file: MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP
Extract MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from this file and place it with the other upgrade files.
Run this new exe file instead of BaUpgradeUt.exe to update your rom
If you get an error the first time, run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again without touching your device (don't take it out from the cradle, don't reset it, don't touch it at all!)

Remember, you need to be sure you know what you're doing.. Be sure you read everything on Wiki (Link in Signature) and ask yourself "Am I sure I know all the information before I press the "Update" Botton..?
Finally, you can then update your Radio (if desired) to the latest 1.15 Spec from the 1.13 seen in this ROM.. But, one step at a time, eh..? :lol:
Let us know how you get on..
Cheers!
Thanks for the info MrPhilly,
Just to clarify matters, i am not on the T-mobile network but on the Go Mobile network in Malta.
Ill try following your insructions and let you know!
Cheers!!
MrPhilly,
Thanks very much!! It worked!! Ill see how i get along without further updates for now. As you said.....one step at a time!!

Excellent - Glad to hear it worked..
Don't forget to update your settings from your Airtime supplier for the MMS, etc etc..
Have you tried to 1.15 Radio Stack Update..? What you could have done there was to replace the 1.13 Radio file with the 1.15 File and update everything at once.. However, like you say, one step at a time..
Im going to try updating the radio stack now so fingers crossed! thanks again
I think you will know what to do, so please tell me... I'm flashing my o2 xda mini S and I have now run out of time, I used all my spare time today (2 hours) trying to flash the ROM with RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship but I get the error.
So what do I need to do - how to remove the vendor lock(?) and where to get the program that can do it, if there is one? And is the above ROM okay? I want to get rid of the stupid o2 programs and get into a clean version of Windows Mobile. And of course, the additional speed that hopefully comes with a new ROM is also appreciated
Please explain clearly, I have very little time nowadays to fiddle with these sort of problems
Thanks!
EDIT: Here is the ROM I have in there now: 1.5.4.2 and it's the o2 original ROM that came preinstalled with the phone... that's all I know.

Unlock it first !
Download CID Unlock (search here on this site), then unlock it and then fell free to install Qtek rom.
BB
HTC Diamond "Invalid Vendor"
After many tries, on a phone that I knew was unlocked I was able to download the new update by simply turning off the firewall...My advice is try that first, and see if you can get the update on your phone.

To unlock the wizard you need to do three things.
1. Flash the button rom
2. Run Lokiwiz
3. Flash your original rom
Here is a rar archive with all the programs you need
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
password for file is scousemartin
extract it then flash the button rom CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe then run lokiwiz.bat
once it has told you that you have successfully cid unlocked it then you can flash your o2 rom or the one i have supplied in the rar archive, which i think, but cant exactly remember is the same rom you now have. After flashing the o2 rom you can flash any rom you want , as long as it is designed for the wizard,of course
heres a link to a how to for lokiwiz

Good luck
I tried to upgrade mine xda with ivan's rom but something went wrong so now i cand upgrade it at all.
Allways i get some country or model id error.
I tried to restore image(which i got from another XDA) but says when i enter bootloader & when i should be asked for rom dump it says:
SD Download
Sections=3
Not allow update
I checked ExtROM version but it says 0.0
Please if u have any solution i would be gratefull
stop complaining and start searching for solution.
hint: use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to bypass the country code error.
helmi_c has packed this kinda utility in this latest rom (in the folder PH20B1).
good luck.
also read the upgrading wiki. what does it say your meant to do before you upgrade? get ur device data. then what does it say to do with that data?
input it into the upgrade file. helmi's newest rom pretty much does this for u if u follow the wiki and the readme that comes with it.
always follow guides TO THE LETTER, or you're gonna screw up your device.

Hi there everyone
Greetings from Paris
I encountered the same problem. The file was not there anylonger. Then I saw this post, and its reply. I downloaded the file on http://download.yousendit.com/FF900F2908E9D05B which worked fine.
I ran the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe file.
So far so good, and then the process crashed at 98%. Something about a file in outlook. I started the whole process again, and now it just stalls at 98%. No error message. NOthing. Anybody have any idea what I should do now...
I have an Orange SPV 3000. I can put the new rom back but I wanted to do a cid unlock, before doing so. It seems to be necessary to be able to try out different roms...
Thanks.

I never have to downgrade before I do the CID unlocked. I've tried with two MDA and never encountered any problem. You will only need to downgrade if you CANNOT CID unlocked; otherwise, don't bother to downgrade.
thats just the point. I cant do the cid unlock... And I suspect that the rom version has something to do with it. Anyway, thats what I read everywhere on this site. So I am still looking for a working link to Button 1.05 ?

When downgrading with this ROM...it will stall at 98% for a few minutes...be patient. To confirm that the ROM I posted was legit...I used it again myself and worked fine. Then to make sure it wasn't just me...I had 2 other people tell me they used it and worked fine for them as well.
Don't know what to tell you as this is the ROM that was hosted on the FTP site for a long time.
shell tool
If your having trouble flashing a rom the shell tool posted on the g4 threads lets you flash any rom you wish onto your phone i have a g4 cid locked and using the tool i can swap my roms every day if i wished to with no hassle

Get yourself a signature. Is your Wizard G3 or G4.
I think that my wizard is a G3. I just added my signature.
Still looking for the mysterious file that apparently is no longer posted on this site.
thanks for any info.
i need a rapdishare or megauploads link to where i can download a 1.xx ROM for my G3 Qtek 9100 (Tmobile with imate 2.21 ROM).
I want to upgrade to wm6 and need to have a backup plan if it fails
10x in advance.

looking for BUtton 1.05
this rom is not working for me. I stalls at about 98% of the process, and dies...
If you decide to do it, make sure you have a back up option.
Do a search on PirateBay for it. Its seeded...
