Hi All,
I am new in this. I had recently bought a MDA VArio which is locked to the T-Mobile network. I had unlocked the phone using some apps i found here. I have a question, how can i remove all the T-Mobile customizations?
Hardreset. Just after the security setup, do a soft reset

maybe you want to get rid of sall the T-Mobile (pink!) customisations as well; do a rom upgrade (ie to a QTek rom).
That one is not operator related and just shows you the name of the active operator in your dial pad.
posted this on howardforums too.. newbie to ppc. i have a quick question. i am going to be tweaking my unlocked cingular 8125. i am using the phone for tmobile. when i put my tmobile simcard in, did that really turn my 8125 into an MDA? reading the threads, i've noticed they are essentially the same device. now can i use roms, tweaks that are made for cingular 8125s or MDAs for my unlocked phone? do i just read the MDA threads or do i have to read 8125 threads or both? i am confused. thanks in advance.

Stay within the Wizard forums and you'll be just fine.. =)
Simply putting your T-MO SIM in won't do anything but get you phone netowrk access. You probably still need to configure data account info and whatnot.
If you are satisfied with your current ROM I wouldn't go changing it. If however you have a need for Direct Push mail (requires an Exchange SP2 mail account) or have stability problems, or you are adventurous, well then read on.....
You have several choices as far as ROMs go. You say you're on T-MO USA... You might be interested in the excellent custom T-MO ROM created by xelencin, available in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44631
It is basically the latest Qtek (another brand of Wizard device) ROM with customizations specific to T-MO USA. xelencin (a forum member) made it super easy for you T-MO folks who have not CID unlocked yet...he scripted CID unlocking into the updgrader. You'll find out about CID and SIM unlocking and lots more as you read up on the forums. To answer your first question though, a CID lock is basically an attempt to keep folks from using ROMs from other providers. For example, in its stock state, a Cingular 8125 will not allow a Qtek or Imate ROM to be installed. When the 8125 is "CID unlocked" it essentially becomes carrier independant, and any ROM will install. That's it in a simplified nutshell anyway.
Like I said...browse the forums, ask questions, and be brave. =) I recently created a ROM upgrader that will allow you to easily return an 8125 to 100% stock (Cingularized) condition if needed, so don't be afraid to try other ROMs.
thanks for the quick reply. i just updated to the latest tmobile rom. everything seems to be going smoothly right now. quick question though. is my cingular 8125 an MDA right now? (besides the look). i want to do some more tweaking, but i dont know if i should read about MDA hacks or 8125 hacks? thanks in advance. this is a good useful site. thanks.
Hi,
I recently "Upgraded" from my good and faithful wizard (Vario I) to the almost as good and almost as faithful TyTN II (Vario III).
After flashing my Wizard, it instantly removed the SIM Lock (Or I dont remember doing any extra steps for doing so).
I recently flashed HSPL and Ive tried a couple of ROMS for the TyTN and while testing around I shoved in a SIM card from another mobile provider, I found out with great surprise that my TyTN II is still SIM locked.
I had been wondering why my device seems so sluggish and slow, could It be I flashed it wrong? Or is it "Normal" for it to be still SIM locked even after flashing the HSPL?
Thanks!
Did you use the sim-unlocker? (you can find it here)
After this step you can use the vario III with every simcard
here it is

Yes it is normal. The roms and spl you flashed are the OS and the bootloader. You havent changed the radio which is the simlocked bit.
Hi Guys
Just got my new Tmobile Vario III. The problem is I cannot hear any conversation while making or receivng calls. Phone displays that I have connected, Dialling Etc. I do not know id that is due to sim unlock or manufacturer's fault. I have tried tmobile, o2 sims but no joy. The sim works fine on my original phone.
Do you think it is manufacturer's fault or just upgrading to wm6.1 will solve the issue?

hello,
have you hardreset your device?
greetings
I have done hard reset twice but still no joy
regards
Hi Guys,
I am tried to use an O2 sim in my Diamond.
Message came up along the lines of network locked. I am currently using Dutty's 3.6 rom.
I would have thought flashing the phone would unlock it to all networks.??
Help ASAP.
Thanks.
nope, you need to network unlock, this completely different! just search the forum
The service offered by Olipro is worth considering and is very cheap.
