Dear All
I will appreciate if anyone of you can help me with this query.
I have a T Mobile MDA Vario (UK) and would like to upgrade it to WM6, i have got the upgrade ROM from T Mobile US website but when i ran it the error was "INVALID VENDOR ID" .
The details of my phone are
MDA Vario (UK)
ROM Version 2.21.2.6 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio Version 02.19.11
Protocol Version 4.1.13.09
Ext ROM Version 2.21.2.109
And for you all its a G4 device.
Looking forward to hearing from all you experienced professionals.
Wizard doesnt have official WM6, the one your got probably is for Dash.
And, I'm not sure if you can flash a US ROM to a UK phone without CID unlocking your phone. Invalid Vendor ID usually mean the CID-Lock on your phone is preventing it form flashing.
Thanks Hanmin
I am not sure mate, when i logged onto T Mobile USA website i choose MDA upgrade but since i have not being able to do it, can you suggest what shall i do now.
Hmm.. I did a check, it is rather interesting as there isn't really knew regarding WM6 upgrade for Wizard from T-Mobile. It is referred as MR1, which is different from AKU, but from what it is said, chances is, it is AKU, not WM6.
Usually, you ought to be able to download stuff from here
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
which, as of today (12 May 07), it is still the AKU update. I've updated my Vario UK with this one, it works. Anyway, from what I get from your phone info, yours is already AKU.
Many thanks Hanmin
I think then this is what i got, how can i get an upgrade for WM6 mate? any clues or help will be much appreciated.

I downloaded the ROM Update from the Siemens Website and tried to update my new SX66 (Just purchased from Cingular on the 10th, on an AT&T plan and SIM card still)
When I ran the update I received the Error:
"Error 120: Country ID Error XHWOF568-XHWOF568-50-50-50. The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check the Vendor Website and download the correct ROM update"
I contacted Siemens & they replied with: "Version 1.14.110 is the original version, and 1.33.110 is the updated version for Cingular customers.
If your version is 1.32.115, then you have the AT&T variant and your SX66 already has the latest ROM version installed. If you have any other version that is not listed and you get this error, then the update does not pertain to your version of phone."
So what does the error really mean? I've seen the Fix to add the line to the RUU.conf file, but unsure as to what the error really is telling me.
So do I have an Old phone? Should I return it and get a Cingular Plan Phone? Others at my office have the Cingular Plan/SIM SX66 and can install the 1.33.110 ROM with no issues...
If I install the 1.40.00 ROM will it work with my AT&T variant?
I'm still under my 30 days with Cingular to return the phone.
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I have been to the wiki.xda-developers.com website and have seen the work around for this.
I'm curious as to the ramifications of changing the Country ID if I have issues with the phone in the future if/when I change to a Cingular SIM/Plan
Thanks,

The work arounds of the Country code ID and Carrier ID are only to insure that you can flash your device with a rom that is not from your carrier.
The Idea of the carriers is not to produce an Upgrade of a rom and let other non same carriers users flash that. (well thats there idea)
This we don't like as most carriers don't provide the upgrades or if they do not in a language that you want them.
----> Hence the tool that FIXES that small issue.
The CE and radio rom is the same across all version,
Its the EXT rom that has the meat in it thus it needs to be cooked.
If you have issues with your device that you can't solve with a rom upgrade or cooking then you need to be able to flash the Providers rom back onto it.
This gives the Techys in the shop the warm feeling that the phone has not been messed with.
I have a baked rom, all three components are from different sources, it was shipped in Germany in German, is now WWE Rom and has swiss Sim.
If I need to take it back to Geramany I flash a T-mobile upgrqade on it and I am off.
Hope this helps
So I think the next step to my weird repeater issue that I've been noticing is to update just the radio rom.
The stock USA TMO MDA comes with GSM rom 01.09.10, and I think that might be the reason why I can't auth to these GSM repeaters in this building.
Anyone point me to directions and rom updates for the radio rom? Also, is it possible to back up the current radio rom incase I want to switch back?
Also, last question, will updating the radio rom kill all the data on the device?
Thanks for any info.
I'm confused....
is the MDA a wizard or a wallaby?
You'll find the rom's on the ftp site....(and you sound find the older/current radio rom there just in case)
ftp://xda:[email protected]
no...it won't kill the data....

TMO (USA) MDA is a Wizard.
I downloaded the updated rom on the ftp site, but it doesn't have the 01.09.10 radio rom that is currently on there. That's why I was asking if there is a way to back up the current radio rom incase I want to revert to 100% stock TMO.
In the radio roms directory is 01.09.10 from a cingular.....but I don't know if there is any difference.....
You can backup your OS and Radio ROM with awizard http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&start=0
Your T-Mobile is a MDA Vario (wizard), not a MDA (wallaby).

Actually, I just accomplished just that. Backed up the radio rom, updated it with the most recent radio rom... and it still wont work. There's something to these repeaters that is not letting these phones auth.
My T-Mobile MDA is a Wizard, I know. It's called the MDA in America, while most of the world knows the MDA as a Wallaby.
I should just call it a Wizard and avoid confusion.
Hi people,
When I bought this T-Mobile contract with MDA Vario HTC Wizard, I thought maybe I was overestimating my needs and I wouldn't need such a device. I proved myself wrong...but still I need some help.
The last thing the salesman told me was 'Have fun!'. Well, i Don't an that's why:
I bought it in Netherlands, and they forgot to mention that it is the Dutch version of Windows Mobile 2005. I need to change it, but I don't really know which one to choose. I've read that QTEK ROM makes the Phone faster. Is there any standard in the way the filenames are named?
As far as I understand, I can install the english version of windows mobile 2005, and then download the T-mobile settings for Netherlands. Still I need two downloads. Is there any T-Mobile Netherlands with English WM2005 ROM?
If I install the English WO2005, will the SIMlock function keep on working?
I have these parameters:
ipl 1.06
spl 1.06
gsm 1.12.10
os 1.6.2.2
Which one is the most important to refer to when trying to find a new ROM to install?
Thanks for your patience.
first of all you need to [cid] unlock before younedd anything
then you can install any rom/language versao that you want
as for T-Mobile Netherlands all you need is the cab file for that operator and you can find that in here this forum just by asking for it
yes your sim will still work but you could sim unlock with the same tool that you need to cid unlock.
It's done
I managed it finally. Thx a lot
I flashed my firmware with one of the Cingular firmwares. (my mda was already unlocked) Now when I try to use one of the tmobile firmwares to flash back it gives me an error. This is what I have installed now.
Rom 1.8.10.12
Rom date 12/1/05
Radio version 02.13.11
Protocol 4.1.13.05
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.13.11
OS 1.8.10.2
Can anyone tell me what is going on here. The phone is working and the data services work. I need someone to post the link to the best firmware flash for my TMOBILE MDA (us version) I have service with Cingular. I need the ROM that has the best receiption and performance and the most features that will work on my MDA Please help.
if you want to go back to the T-Mobile original settings, you need to upgrade to the custom ROM and then downgrade back. If you just want to have the T-Mobile settings, stick with the 2.17 custom rom that Xelecin cooked. I've found that his 2.21 rom was a lttle buggy, but his 2.17 rom is spot on. It has the cid/sim unlockers built in.
good luck

Another Question
I did that and gave the MDA to my wife. I am looking to get a new phone and lookng at the Cingular 8125. Will I be able to unlock this phone with any of the utilities on this site.
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.
