Hello everyone,
I have the MDA Vario (T-Mobile) for 2 weeks now and after i read all the articles about the new ROM from I-Mate i tryed to update my rom too.
Before i updated my rom i made a complete backup of the MDA with SPB Backup. http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/
After installing the ROM i found out that everything is working properly and i continued with restoring the backup file, too bad i found out that after restoring the files and a soft reset the MDA won't boot anymore. After the boot screen I-Mate the screen light is on and nothings happening.
I guess the problem is because the rom i used was Dutch language and the Rom i updated was English. Probably some data files are overwritten and the MDA can't boot anymore.
I'm desperate, i guess i can't use a RMA now because i updated the ROM?
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks!
Greetings, Eric
You might want to try this rom installation:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/MDA_Vario_1060202_103_11210_TMNL_Ship.exe
Its the original Dutch T-mobile rom version 1.6.2
If it does not work search how to get the phone into the boot/flash mode first before running the program.
Another option is that the Vendor id unlock has not been executed on the phone, so this stops the phone from booting another vendors rom.
Hello swadrian,
Thank you for your reply, i got the MDA in BootLoader Modus. I upload the I-Mate ROM now, it looks like its working. Never knew it had a BootLoader modus.. I got in the BootLoader modus by pressing the Camera Button + Power On Button and i pressed the reset button (soft reset). I'm now able to upload the ROM....
I will let you guy's know if it was the right solution...
EDIT 18:51 it's loading Windows Mobile 5 now, looks like it's working!!! i'm so happy!!!
Greetings

Hello,
Iám Spanish and I just bought a MDA VARIO in GErmany, so I tried to install the spanish rom "2.18.7.8" and i did it. Everything was ok during installation, but when I restarted... The device couldn´t restart. It allway stop on the Qtek screen(with the sky), sometime it change the screen into a white(HTC innovations) one for a second. But it doesn´t work.
I made soft and hard reset, but nothing changes.
I also tried to install an other rom by bootloader way, but the rom sais that is not possible to contact with the phone device.
I´m scared and I don´t know what to do.
Know this is the rom´s I have on my Qtek 9100 :
IPL 1.06
SPL 1.06
OS 2.18.7.8
Help please!!

With activesync on it will say it won't detect the phone plugged in while it's in bootloader mode. Run the ROM update anyway.
Thanks, but it doesn´t work. The Rom software said that is unable to connect with the phone.
I just tried to install the vanilla WM6, and with zhis rom, the installation could begin, but at 95% it happen an error... and i need to reinstal an other time the vanilla WM6.
I tried an other time, but the same error on 95% :-( And i can´t instal others rom.
did you CID unlock?
enter bootloader and flash the original rom from that screen, then start again. if you don't know how to get into bootloader screen or what CID lock is, read the wiki and the stickies in the forum. Don't worry, it is not a brick

Thanks a lot for our support! I still tnhinking I have a brick :-S... Now It only apears the bootloather screen(three colors bars) due to the incompleted vanilla WM6 uppdate.
I think the CID is unlocked. I runed the Lokiwiz, but now, I am not sure if It worked... And now, the phone is without battery!!
Where I can find my original rom? The device is from T-Mobile and is a MDA VARIO. From Austria. I have 2 CD´s, one with windows 5 applications, and other with software... I can´t fin the rom.
Thanks a lot!!
there is a link to the US tmobile ROM in my signature. it may work, i don't know.
as for the dead battery, you have a few options,
1) charge the battery in a desktop charger such as this one from ebay.
2) try charging in a friend's wizard
3) i have read references to charging the battery with a n-i-n-e v-o-l-t battery and a p-a-p-e-r-c-l-i-p (i've typed it like that because there are getting more and More references to things than actual solutions when you search) battery many times, try googling this site for that (again in my sig).
the ROM is not on any CD they give out with it because they don't want people flashing their devices and ending up in the situation you are - why do you think they are locked.

I can charge the battery with the normal charger to 220v.
Any idea??
My IPL is 1.06

did you buy it from tmobile or ebay? (is it german tmobile or just bought in germany?)
go to the tmobile site and look for firmware/software updates for the mda vario. i don't know german so i could not find the mda vario on it

Hi,
I got a similar problem.
I wanted to install the latest AkU 3.3 on my MDA VARIO but it stopped at 95%.
So I tried to install the oldest version available from T-Mobile Germany.
But now my device restarts again and again.
It says
IPL 1.06
SPL 1.03
OS 2.24.2.8.
and restarts.
Sometimes (with the oldest software version) I can calibrate my touchscreen and then the device installs the T-Mobile software. After that it restarts again and again.
I also tried softrest after the message: in 3 seconds .... software will be installed. Then it reboots and sometimes wm5 starts but is running VERY slow. I can't switch it off using the power buttom.
I unlocked my MDA Vario using Lokiwiz. No CID Unlock just Unlock.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance
very simple, flash back to your original rom, then, CID UNLOCK
