Vario:Invalid Vendor ID (Error 294):switching from Dutch ROM - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I got T-mobile MDA Vario from T-mobile Ben NL. Actually I really need to switch from original pre-installed all Dutch into English. I tried already to download and to install some upgrades but non of them worked, instead responding with the following error: Invalid Vendor ID (Error 294).
Does it mean that my MDA is locked somehow and can not be upgraded without some unlocker or there is some other reason for that error? Actually this is my first MDA, so there might be some unclearness for me..
Thank you very much in advance for your possible thoughts.
Kind regards,
Michael

Ok, I have followed the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796&highlight=lockiwiz and the problem is solved. Now I use UK version of ROM.

I've been trying for a couple of hours now, but it doesn't work here. I'm switching from English to Dutch. Tried Lokiwiz, Awizard and TyphoonNBFTool now. First two: no effect. The latter: file read error after I start the update process. Any clues?

help with blue angel mda3 from germany

hi, i have the exact same german make as the example in the following link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...x20.correctx20.upgradex20.ROMx20.forx20.mex3f.
getdivicedata.exe gave me the same thing,
i downloaded the same files in the links, and used the same fix.bat
the dos screen seemed to have fixed the files. but then i ran the baupgradeut.exe and it still gave me the country code error. i followed everything.
my only mistake was i started off with 1.12 wwe (came with the phone when i bought it off ebay) and tried to upgrade to 1.22---but the only on that worked was the german one---so no i got german 1.22 and i can't understand a thing. jeez,
but the instructions didn't work, anyway you can post your finished upgrade rom, that you used, so all i have to do is download and run the program?
plleeeezzzzeeee, with love :B, or anymore advice?
oh, i meant to say, can you, or may you, rather the the former.

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.

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

need help agen lool
i tried updating the rom with TNT,19213 professional
and error [300] invalid update tool occured
it says this update utility cannot be used on your pda phone.please get newer update utiltiy plz plz help
You have to use SoftSPL, you can get it HERE
In this folder, you copy the "nk.nbf" of your favourite WM6 (and only this file), then start with "START-sSPL.exe" (make sure you're connected via ActiveSync).
When you read this here before, you know everything you need!
Probably you are not following the instructions and doing it correctly,try to go according to the guide,if it still doesn't work,it sometimes happens that SoftSPL fails,than you better do it through 'HardSPL'

Hang in bootloader

Hi @ all,
**** happens, yesterday i tried to upgrade my rom on charmer (mda compact 2).
During installation system hangs on and didn´t finish.
So now i have only the startscreen and can reach the bootloader.
Tried now to flash an original rom, the ruu says error 294 invalid vendor id.
Otherwise the ruu (for no id) ended with error 238 file read.
My bootloder shows IPL 1.12, SPL 1.12 and USB connected.
I have read a lot of threads but cant find a answer for that.
Has anyone a good idea?
Thanks a lot for helping.
I wish all users in that great forum a happy new year

Hi Ronni,
same problem here. Do you found any solution?
Is it right, that your Device not charging and USB is not recognizing too?
Bg

Are you trying to flash WM6 ROM to your charmer? Because WM6 required IPL and SPL level at least 2.xx.
Did you tried this method to bring charmer back to life?
wow, thank you for your quick response. Hmm, I´m not shure, it´s a PDA from a Collegue, I don´t know, what he do with it. (I know only he try to flash something) Next week he take it to our office, then I try your solution
Thank you again

Signal Problem - O2 Germany

Hello Everyone,
I know that is a very noob question, but I don't know anymore what to do.
I recently move to Germany and I bring my wizard (bought in Brazil) with me.
My device is CID and SIM unlocked and its running WM 6.1
The problem is, I never get signal!!
I already try all the available radios (2.19, 2.25, 2.69, 2.71 and etc..) and nothing happen!
someone knows if there anything to do for work?
I appreciate all the help.
Thanks in advanced.
no one? no ideias =/
None of the radios you list are from any of the O2 ROMs in the wiki.
Have you tried an O2 Radio?

i was not able to find it,
could you please send me a link, or tell me where i can find?
hope that work.
This Radio is from the O2 Xda Minis
And here is link to the ROM
danken schön!
i will try and report!
That is very strange!
i flash the radio and nothing happen.
I start to think that my device is SIM unlock again.
But the most strange is:
-I put a diferent SIM and my phone start normaly look for signal but couldn't find it.
-The Invalid SIM screen for type code don't show anymore
-When i read my device on Wizard service tool its show SIM LOCKED.
-But in Brazil i test other operator SIM a long time ago and works.
Any ideia?????
damed! i cannot find a solution...
anyone? any ideia?
I had the same Problem, I live in Germany and have the XDA mini S too, but it's a Vodafone SIM-Card inside. When I installed WM6 the Phone always got a bad connection to the network, and it took much longer even to connect than with the original GERMAN ROM from O2. I downloaded the original ROM from O2s german Website and flashed it with the tool which was in the downloaded file, I didn't extract it from the installer because my Phone was CID-locked. Then the Phone had very good connection again. Then I CID-unlocked it and flashed the newest release of TNT. I expected bad connection again but NO, the Phone behaves like with the original ROM.
XDA mini S german ROM:

My Phone is a G4, so I used this tool to unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332320
Then I flashed this ROM (Professional Edition):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414518
I used ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.zip for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291215
Everything seems to be normal again. I described every detail because I am not really sure what the EXACT problem was because there are so many ways to do the same thing, but i don't know if every method REALLY DOES EXACTLY the same thing, if you know what i mean
wow! thats really strange! but i will try it!
i cannot beleave but works!!
thank you!
