Hello everyone !
i have just bought this device. not yet received it ...it's on it's way. I want to find out what do i have to do with the rom or whatever to make this device work on vodafone romania network?( vodafone bought CONNEX )
I'm not sure what rom it has, most probably T mobile .
And further more, can you tell me how to upgrade to this rom?where can i buy it from and how to flash the deivce. I've read that u can only flash the rom with a specific ver...an older version.
HELP?

after searching a little bit ... it's not the rom i need to flash to use it on vodafone, i have to unlock it.
ok, anyone can tell me what DO I NEED to unlock and make it useable on vodafone romania?
PLS ! 10x again
Unlocking
If you do a little search around here, you'll find a software called Lokiwiz, and all you need to do is follow the instructions and you can unlock your device. it's a good Idea to do a CID unlocking as well (with the same software) before you upgrade the ROM. Right now I've been using the Mr. Clean ROM for a couple of days, and it's working fine. I would recommend that one.
Hai Noroc!
If it's T-MO branded, you will definitely have to unlock it before using it back home in good old RO
like i said in a pm, i kind of know what do i have to do. my only worry now is the downgrade to a 1.xx rom.
With the mda still CID locked & sim locked i have to downgrade to a 1.xx rom in order to use the lokiwiz right?
So, to avoid any problems while doing this, which rom should i use for 1.xx version?

Hi all.
Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I did a search and could not find any info on this.
I have a t-mobile vario (sim unlocked - using Lokiwiz02). Shop told it couldn't be done, but quite a few of you clever people had already done it, so I did too. All went well, it's now sim free!
However, I prefer the i-mate ROMs and have already got the original i-mate ROM installer ready to go.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, is it a straight forward procedure (regular way of upgrading a ROM), or is there anything specific I would have to do and what, if any, are the risks?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Used the Lokiwiz tool but typed "c " at the prompt instead of u and I was able to flash after. Otherwise I got the vendor ID wrong error
I bought this phone and had image version :1.6.2.105 on T-Mob
Then I unlock it using Lokiwiz02b but I did not touch the CID (because I don't know what was that for) as I've swap the SIM and it worked so I thought "job done". Bad move?
Then I upgraded the firmware with MR Clean AKU 2.3
The problem now is that I can't sync my handset with my PC and is not my pc because I test it whit my friend XDA MINI S and it works fine. I tried to flash it with "(Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101)" but it won't take it... is any safe firmware that I can reflash in order to revert it to an unbranded phone? Also my battery now last far more less since!
All I want is not to see any T-mobile sign or else.
Please note that I'm familiar on flashing LG 3G and motorola 3G phones. But I'm a still a newby here and excuse my english too.
Bump!!
Bump!!
you can't change firmware without CID unlock.
There are loads of posts with ROM change info, try doing a search
Solved!!!!!
I tell you what I did...
I downloaded this firmware CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE
So I downgrade my WM to firmware version: 1.6.*.* then I did again the unlocking (to make in sure) then I download the latest O2 firmware (Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101) for mini s and reflashed it... Now my phone is rebranded O2 but I don't mind... The battery seams to last longer now.... We will see... Thank you for answering... ;-)
OK I'm thinking about trying a different ROM, I have alot of programs installed that are included in some of the ROM's on here, so I guessing I would save some memory by installing a custom ROM? also removes some of the Tmobile crap? Will it be safe to install any ROM on here?
I dont understand all the different names (aku etc)
I have SIM unlocked it, but not tried to CID unlock it yet.
I have IPL/SPL 2.21 on the loader screen, is this a G3 model?
Installed with latest Tmobile ROM (This was wireless G enabled)
I have searched on here for info, and found some, but because its a delicate procedure, I would like to be sure before I risk it.
Can someone tell me how to CID unlock it and install a ROM?
Should I even bother, or stick with the Tmobile one?
Thanks
Hey, ive been reading for a while but i still dont know exactly what to do to upgrade my tmobile mda. im pretty sure its the vario one. and it's image version is 1.8.10.104. its ipl and spl are both 1.08 so i think that means itsa g3 chip. I tried downloading a different rom but it just didnt work.
I just want the newest version. I have bluetooth stereo headphones and i would love to use them with this phone. Any help with be much aprreciated

read the Sticky for the definitive guide to CID unlocking and upgrading G3 wizards.
If you follow every step in that tutorial you will:
a. have a CID unlocked wizard capable of being flashed with any wizard rom, custom or otherwise
b. you will KNOW that you device is CID unlocked because you did it yourself
c. ROM's will actually flash because your CID is unlocked.
NOTE: you currently have a 1.08 bootloader. You cannot flash a 2.xx custom rom until you upgrade your bootloader to 2.xx. The easiest way of doing this is flashing the much promoted T-Mobile 2.26 rom. Of course if you follow all the steps in the unlocking tutorial you will end up with IPL/SPL 2.26 and be CID unlocked.
ok, thank you
it says that it voids the warrenty
But i thought it was a made-by-tmobile download?
And can't i just reboot it to the original version i have right now if there are any problems or anything? Will the notice? is it possible?

If you want WM6 you will be voiding your warranty as you won't be able to flash it unless you are CID unlocked.
There currently is not and most likely NEVER will be an official WM6 carrier rom for the Wizard.
If all you want is the latest carrier rom from your carrier then all you have to do is go to their website and download it and follow the instructions. You won't have to worry about CID or warranty voiding.
As for them noticing, maybe, maybe not. It really depends on who you talk to. If you stay with roms only made and released from your carrier you won't have anything to worry about as you can flash them without doing anything that will void your warranty.
Hi I couldnt find a definit answer but I have a unbranded unlocked retail phone. Do I need to do a HardSPL on it as ive only ever had branded phones before which I have had to run HardSPL on it first before flashing new roms.
Im hopeing i dont have to then i can easily put on the stock rom back on incase of warrenty issues.
If someone could clear that up for me it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Having an unbranded/unlocked phone will allow you to use any SIM card easily enough. But, if you want to flash a custom ROM on it, you will still need to install HardSPL on it.
For warranty purposes you can always reflash the stock SPL to relock it. All the information on this can be found in the HardSPL sticky here.
