hi,
i looked around for instructions on how to upgrade the ROM but i couldn't find any.
i have a very old ROM and i want to upgrade it to the latest ROM that includes the A2DP, etc.
how do i go about installing it? is it like installing a regular application? i have a Qtek 9100.
thanks,
Re: Simple guide - Unlock Vario and update to other ROMs
For anyone else who has had the same problem as we did, follow these simple instructions:
First download lokiwiz v2b. Don't use previous versions or you'll not get through this!!
Hard reset your device (not necessary, but it ensures you'll have no hassle with Activesync).
Done that? Good. Extract the lokiwiz v2b .zip folder and copy enablerapi.cab to your memory card or to 'My Documents' folder on your device. Then execute the 'enablerapi.cab'.
Done? Just switch off the device (power button; put it in standby mode).
If you have Activesync already installed, un-install it and re-install directly afterwards (ensure a brand new partnership).
Then when prompted by Activesync, plug in your USB cable PC-PPC and it should recognise as usual.
Then execute the lokiwiz.bat file (in the folder that was generated earlier when you extracted the lokiwiz02b.zip file) and when you see the MS Dos (black screen) choose the option CID Unlock (SuperCID) and wait for it to COMPLETELY finish. You'll know it's finished when your Wizard is re-booting. Plug out your USB cable at this stage.
Once re-booted and back into WM5, re-connect your cable and if all goes well it should re-connect to Active Sync (wait till it has finished syncing or says connected!).
Finally......double click the executable file, which should be:
RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Hopefully it will now install the ROM without hiccups (about 10 minutes).
Sorry to you gurus for the lengthy explanation, but some of us are still relatively inexperienced to this and a thorough (if you can call it that) explanation of the processes will really be appreciated. I certainly have done when some of guys broke it down to me in the past.
I'm hoping this ROM will not dissapoint me as the others have done, as I've been getting quite frustrated and angry about the whole WM5 & HTC thing.
Good luck. :wink:

thanks for finding the informaiton for me!
Thanks for the breakdown. I am new to all this, and not too au fait with all the developer terms, and it can be quite intimidating!
I have an O2 branded XDA Mini S and want to use it with Vodafone SIM card. The device is unlocked, so I can make and receive calls - good start!
However, I want to get rid of all the O2 branding and install the vodafone GPRS/SMS/MMS etc. settings. From what I've read on the forums, the O2 stuff slows the unit down, and it will all be irrelevant anyway. Does the extended ROM you refer to above then get the unit into an "unbranded" state?
Basically, I just want the unit without any trace of O2 (boot splach screen, O2 active etc.) and to be able to put the Vodafone settings in manually...
Thanks
Thanks mackaby007 - managed to update rom using your instructions, and got rid of O2 screen using aWizard!
Unlock to Lock

No, you need to do CID unlock only once.

I have the exact same problem. Both Loki and aWizard don't work.
Typically when you want to downgrade your phone to an earlier (or shipped version) you need to first downgrade it to Button's 1.05, then you can "upgrade" to back to the desired 1.x or 2.x ROM.
Is that what you're asking?

how is possible to downgrade the wizard phone to 1.05?
I have a T-mob wizard phone with inside IPL 2.21.0001,GSM 2.19.11, OS 2.21.2.6.
Have I to follow the below step?
1)dovngrade to 1.05 . Is necessary only OS or boot loader and ratio too?
2)perform again the flashing procedure.
Regards

looks to me that you have a "G4" chipset, I can tell because you are reporting the IPL 2.21.0001 and not just IPL 2.21 Maybe someone else can verify this???? If so please please DONT try to flash before you have researched "G4" chipset flashing first
Dear sir,
you true!!
I have just read a post were is explained that if you have G4 chip is not possible to downgrade or upgrade the ROM.
Bootloaders (IPL/SPL) with .0001 at the end of the version are G4 flash chips.
This info will be very halpefully for everybody need to perform any flashing action on wizard phone.
Do you confirm that is actually not possible to solve this issue?

Alex

I am very confused...
OK.
My wizard have G4 chip inside.
I was been able to remove the SIM lock.
If I try to CID unlock the device I receive CID unlocked successfull but after a ROM update the device stuck at startup.
Now...if I pay on http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ 20£ will be possible to change the ROM?
JAFWM
Hi,
I discovered a SW named JAFWM that is able to flsh evry ROM.
Is this true?
@squarna - Sorry mate but TBH with myself not having a G4 chipset Ive not taken much notice of any post relating to them, if no one else jumps in soon try starting a new thread with the title like "G4 chipset What roms work?" or something and good luck!
Hi,
using the sticky guides, i've successfully [i think] SIM and CID unlocked my wizard g3 which is a TM MDA Vario.
I now cannot get it to connect to my mobile network (o2).
I've installed various ROMs including O2, TM, Cingular, wm6 and the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard; all install OK but after the reset, still says "searching...".
I've also installed the various radio only upgrades from the sticky; again after the resets it still just says "searching...".
Have i got a brick?
It was working fine on a TM sim before the upgrade but that sim is now expired so i cant test a TM sim.
PS my wifi works fine, Async etc. and all the PDA functions fine, it's just the phone network that's the problem.
Cheers
try another sim from another network.

What is your IPL, SPL, GSM, and OS? Soft reset and copy these off the screen as it boots up. If you are in the state I think you are in it is because you flashed a 2.x rom into 1.x bootloaders and skipped the step of flashing your carriers latest rom before flashing a custom rom. This is just a guess because you haven't given much information, I apologize if I have it wrong. Give us more info and we can probably get you fixed up.
Also do you have a valid SIM card to test with? if your sim is expired as you mention it probably won't connect to the network which may be why it is searching. Unlocking just allows you to use sims from other carriers on your phone not allow you to use an invalid sim on any network.
thanks for the response.
I've tried several O2 sims that i know work and can get a signal where i am, i dont have any different sim types.
Since running lokwiz i havn't been asked to enter a code etc when inserting a sim other than TM ?
Anyway, my details are:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.0
GSM 1.12.10.0
OS 1.5.4.2
This is because the last effort involved going through the instructions in the stick for unlocking the wizard which means flashing using:
CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
Thanks again

hrm, it looks like it should work. I would flash the T-Mobile 2.26 rom and update to AKU2.x. Then flash an AKU2.x custom rom of your choice (If you desire to do so.) The lowest I have ever flashed my device is the 1.05 button rom, but then always flashed back up to the Cingular 2.25 rom before installing a custom rom. I don't see why your setup would be an issue unless the radio you are using isn't compatible with that OS. Maybe others that are more versed in this stuff than I am can help.
I´ve a HTC 3600 and installed Hard-SPL Olipro 1.20 then executed the application for releasing the Sim and CID restrictions of my HTC.
I keept the WM5 ROM and tested the device. The Sim is now unlocked, i suppose so is CID, how can I check this before installing a new cooked ROM?
My gps was working fine, now I can´t get gps signal, do I need a radio update? Which is recommended? Did the sim unlocking process downgraded my radio rom
ROM: 1.23.410.2
RADIO: 1.16.00.00
thanks in advance
you are right
Unlocking P3600 downgrades the radio...
Therefore you cannot use GPS until you upgrade the radio again.
Take a look here, http://trinityguides.info/index.php , choose a gps enabled radio and upgrade...
Thanks, I also thought that.
Which of the Radio Rom´s should I choose?
Radio 1.38.00.11
Radio 1.41.00.11
Radio 1.46.00.11/30.11
Radio 1.50.08.11
How I can I check if my CID was succesfully unlocked? I want to install a new ROM with a different language.
If you installed hard spl on your device, it doesn't matter if you have cid unlocked or not, cause hardspl let's you install any rom in any language.
As for the radio, it depend's on your carrier and the country you are in.
I see you are in Portugal so you can use the latest version (Radio 1.50.08.11), it works just fine for me.
Humm, I´ve read that the latest ROM cause mora battery drain than the others, is this true?
What improvements are present in the latest ROM´s compared to 1.38 ?
Hi I have a O2 XDA IIi and I upgraded the rom to

I have tried to flash the phone with sever other rom, but its the same,still no signal.

You will need to register to downlaod but you should find one that works...
I have similar issue when unlocking my Diamond with Olipro tool. So what was essentially the problem here??? Was it a bad radio rom that causes the exclamation mark, or bad CID unlock before the SIM unlock radio gets loaded.

i;ve had a similar problem using olipro unlock on my diamond. Just get the exclamation mark on all networks. I have a feeling it might be an issue with the radio. Any updates on this...did you get your device to work????
