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... ;-)

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
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?
10x a lot
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?
I have been reading these forums for about a month now. I finally bought a unlocked MDA that I am currently using with cingular. I think my phone is CID locked don't really know. I want to upgrade the rom it still has 1.8.10.2 WWE Rom, It has 01.09.10 for the radio rom. I tried to update to the newest Qtek 9100 rom but it gave me a error on the updater. Can I update to the newest T-mobile rom and not have it locked back up? Please help I tell me what to do.
Thank,
Niko
hello there
Don't load the new tmobile version...download the 8125 ROM from here:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/cingular_8125.html
It will work and make the phone a Cingular ROM phone. I did it today and it's awesome.
If you decide to upgrade the ROM to cingular, when you get to the end of the progress bar and it seems to stop for a long time...wait longer!!! It will work.
Good luck.
My MteoR can´t boot anymore (freezing on second bootscren)...
Any option how to set SUPERCID on MteoR ONLY over the bootloader and then upgrade the ROM ?
HI, unfortunately it's not possible. I have the same problem,my mteor stuck on bootloader, my CID is VODAP304 and i can't upgrade any roms till now... =(
when mteor didn't boot anymore "superciding" is not possible this is correct..
but with an shipped upgrade the "restore" of phone is possible!!! only thing is that you must have a correct shipped rom that match you cid... (to know what cid you have look in wiki!!)
innocent, made some pressure on vodafon or send them your phone ... there must be an rom for you phone... because they sell it with the vodafone software on it... the want give it out... but you have bought the phone and with that the software ... they must gave you the rom!!
Futureshock, need your help and advice...

is there anyway to "shelltools" flash my radio rom? I've been missing a lot of calls lately and it really is becoming inconvenient. I havent unlocked my phone, but i am running wm6 using shelltools (mfrazzz's stuff) and i was wondering do i even need to have my phone unlocked to flash my radio? i dont want to lose my warranty so thats why this matters to me. Any ideas guys?
You may get the official (in your case, T-Mobile, I guess) ROM to flash your phone with the full set of WM5 ROM (e.g. IPL, SPL, OS and Radio). As you are using the official ROM, you do not have to CID-unlock your phone prior flashing this official ROM. After that, you may then use shelltool to update/upgrade/flash the WM6 in, while the radio is untouched (e.g. still using the one you've flashed with the official ROM).
i thin i have done what you said already. Before i flashed mfrazzz's wm6 rom i flashed the latest tmobile rom, then i proceeded to flash the wm6 rom. I didnt use shelltools to flash the official tmobile rom obviosuly, but i did use shelltools to flash mrazzz's wm6 rom.
these are my things from what i'm using now:
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gsm 02.25.11
os 2.18.0.0
Flash the t-mobile uk radio rom 2.19.11.. that'll work for u.
ur OS is wrong if ur running wm6...
2.18 is Crossbow Reloaded... or Faria's..

I have flashed my RADIO ONLY several times with no consequences for my CID LOCKED G4 Wizard, here´s the link for the RADIO ONLY
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Thread/T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radio_Only.zip
You have flashed RADIO only on you G4? HOW? I am having the following problem:
I had to flash a T-Mobile German ROM to use the shelltool for the latest WM6 ROM, it worked but unforunately I have got Radio 2.69 and IPL 3.08.XXX1. (from the latest official MDA Vario ROM flash before)
After the Hardreset everything went fine - I've got WM6, but after i had changed the Clock settings and restarted my device i simply have NO SIGNAL anymore. I am currently in australia maybe thats the reason???
I tried to install the offical T-Mobile AKU 2.0, but the RUU shows me error 296 as I have installed a later ROM AKU3.3 bevor my WM6 flash.
Which tools have y used? And how is the procedure?
Cheers!!!

No, we can´t flash a ROM with bootloader other than the one you have if you have a G4 CID locked device. Unless you use a RUU with no ID (see next paragraph) and the nb.nkf file lacks of IPL/SPL, such is the case of the Wizard Love which I use before to flash any other ROM with the Shell Tool.
Read post #2 of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310954
Read carefully where talks about Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4, same procedure for splash screen applies to RADIO. This doesn´t work for OS, for OS you have to use Shell Tool.
Good luck!
