Very newbie question (frustratred with this simple question!)

Ok I have just bought this phone and I come from modaco.
I am so confused!
I have a like new MDA Vario with a G4 Chipset and an AKU2 rom (tmobile rom).
I just dont have a clue where to find the sim unlock and CID unlocker to enable me to stick my orange sim in and install farias rom.
BTW Faria am looking forward very much to installing your rom!
Im so confused
Thanks in advance
Sam
p.s I have searched for about 2 hours and i cant find anything, any more information you need just ask thanks!

Thank you I saw this post, but i doesnt actualyl explain how to CID unlock the device.
It says you cannot CID unlock G4 or G3 but i know the G3 CID unlock is possible.
And is there a Sim unlock for G4 around?

so far, no one had found a way to CID unlock G4 ROMs yet... If you are really THAT desperate, go use one of the commercial unlock services available online...

ah, ok.
thanks for clearing that up for me.
Yeh I really need to use an orange sim card in my vario.
Ho hum! looks like ill have to fork out £20!
Are there any other cheaper unlockers around?
Thanks
Sam

i know of no other companies that provides SIM unlocking service other than imeicheck, so that's the only option you have right now...
next time, try to keep the forum clean and post your questions within the related thread itself... it'll help a lot by reducing the clutter, and when others do the search, the results will come out better...
anyway. glad to be of help to you...

ok mate all unlocked!
Thanks very much for all your help!

This is the #1 most asked question here. Take some time and research. There are several stickies that will lead you through the process. Though I would suggest ONLY READING until you determine if you have a G3 or G4 and understand and accept ALL risks including the possibility of ruining (bricking) your device before you start actually unlocking/flashing.
Read, Read, Read. The information is already here in step by step format.
If you have a question with the process AFTER you have read it then feel free to ask for help.

First perform a soft reset of your phone. When the versions numbers appear on the splash screen look for IPL and SPL. If they end in .001 you have a G4 and can only use ROMs that do not include IPL/SPL code. The ROM description will tell you or if it does not you can download it and check for yourself. Use the search term "typho5.exe" for help with this. Otherwise you have a G3 (much better supported) and should read this ENTIRE thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435

Thanks baarod.
Man sometimes I'm SO confused... I mean, for real! I create a thread titled "[READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards "... (the READ FIRST is an attention getter, no?)
My moderator buds make it a sticky so it stays very close to the top of the page...
I mean, what more can we do?????
Folks, PLEASE at least show some inclination to doing some research before posting. Yes there's no such thing as a stupid question... or is there????

You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!

Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.

ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?

anyone ???

If you can't find a rom to flash here, then you are NOT ready to do this. Also since you say you have a G4 MDA you had better make sure you understand what that means and how to "flash" or you will find yourself with a dead phone.
Please read the stickies at the top of this forum and the top of the Wizard WM6 forum as they have info to help you do all of this (step by step) without risking your phone.
Then look in the various rom threads as they all have links to the roms. There are even threads that are just about where to get roms...
While people here are wlling to help, we aren't going to do this for you, so you need to research and dig in.

Qtek 9100 Official ROM wanted

Thread topic says it all ...if anyone has a link or place I can grab a G3 then a PM would be moocho appreciated, as I have a half house brick that needs resurrecting.

I advise you two to do an exhaustive search as there are several threads pointing to official ROM links. What you're doing here is creating unnecessary threads and making search harder for yourselves and others...

I did.
but, never mind. case closed.
update : found it, finally. thnx for the advice

That's why i'm asking

Apologies mestrini for cluttering up the board but I have searched long and hard for an official Qtek ROM ...googled, searched rapidshare but alas it appears from your comment that I'm missing it. I have also tried joining the myqtek forum but when I enter my IMEI it says it is not from Brightstore so again I can't get at the ROM's.
If you would be so kind as to send me a PM I promise to go away and leave you all be!

hehe, i don't want you to go away

no problem. i just hope you understand that, as a Senior Member (cough cough), i must help but also flame you guys a little
What i'd like you to do is to change the title of your first post so that it lets others know that there's a link to the file

Feel free to change the title Mestrini ...if it helps others find what they're looking for then I say all the better. finding what you're looking for is directly related to the keywords you search on and sometimes you just go round in circles before you find things ...or worse still you fail to find anything at all.
...again many thanks!
BTW: I tried that file last night and it won't let me use it because it says I'm already at a higher level ...i.e. 2.26 IPL & SPL. I need to downgrade so that's my next search criteria.
