Hi i have huge problem with my wizard.
Well i bought MDA Vario in germany so WM5 was german but i dont understand german (well maybe , ja and nien ) so i discover this site .. very nice and full of information but when i did a search and i didt find similar problem so here is my problem.
I updated my phone with Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG__OS_ONLY and now every time i power on the phone i see (three color) display and some text IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.0001 and thats all (when i connect USB i see text in bottom left corner - USB).
If i want to update with for exmple:AKU_3.2_by_ell_3.32.2 my update goes to 99% and thats all (Update tool on PC is 100%).
And when i take the battery out and in again i see three-color display again :S.
What software do i need to use to get my PPC (MDA Vario) working again?
Can i fix this problem my self or i need to take it to the profesional repairman?
Thank you all for your replays.
Some info:
IPL: 2.21.0001
SPL: 2.21.0001

You have G4 Wizard (IPL/SPL like 2.x.001), so you can only flash ROM without IPL/SPL. And now you can see bootloader (utility for flashing ROM). That ROM, you used, is not for your device, that's why you can see bootloader now. You need rom without IPL/SPL. ELL's ROM AKU 3.2 is very unstable, and it is not for your device too, don't use it. I can recommend Molski's ROM - www.molski.biz
SO, what to do:
1. download new ROM - http://www.molski.biz/downloads/roms/RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_G4_WWE-30MB.exe - it is ROM for your Wizard.
2.Turn on, your Wizard - you will see your "three colors" screen - bootloader
3.Connect your Wizard to usb cable and start flashing. It will stay at 98% for a few minutes, don't disconnect it.
This ROM works fine. Give some feedback, after flashing this one.
Yes.. uff now its working again.
Tnx M8 and like i said before, great forum .
Damn g4 and g3
Have a nice day, and good night (here is 1:12 AM )
pDOC
WORKS? Fine. I'm glad, I could help.
btw, I have the same time as you have
Jst One little question.
Is there a list of G4 Roms available?
I know for FPT of XDA but some roms are not labled G4,or G3.
So wich ROMS are for G4 Devices.
Have a nice day and thank you.
pDOC
If the rom is not speciffically labeled as g4 then it is a g3...g4 is relatively new stuff so in the old times roms where not separated in g3/g4..
as is said above i would recommend molski's ROMs ive had 2 of them both excellent and highly stable and he clearly labels them so if u need to upgrade its obvious which file u need
No, there is no list of G4 ROMs (I think) You need ROM without IPL/SPL.G4 Wizard is IPL/SPL like 2.x.001, and G3 like 2.xx. So, you will have to look for ROMs without it. But Molski's ROM is one of the lastest, and works fine. If you want any other ROM, try to search here, but on ftp there is no list of ROMs for G4
Hello,
Iám Spanish and I just bought a MDA VARIO in GErmany, so I tried to install the spanish rom "2.18.7.8" and i did it. Everything was ok during installation, but when I restarted... The device couldn´t restart. It allway stop on the Qtek screen(with the sky), sometime it change the screen into a white(HTC innovations) one for a second. But it doesn´t work.
I made soft and hard reset, but nothing changes.
I also tried to install an other rom by bootloader way, but the rom sais that is not possible to contact with the phone device.
I´m scared and I don´t know what to do.

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.

did you buy it from tmobile or ebay? (is it german tmobile or just bought in germany?)
go to the tmobile site and look for firmware/software updates for the mda vario. i don't know german so i could not find the mda vario on it

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
Hi all,
I tried to upgrade my MDA compact II (HTC Charmer) to WM6, but during the first step, downgrading to the "no vendor" version I made a mistake. A used a wrong version, it was for Prophet. After the final reboot, the device froze in the splashscreen "T-Mobile". After that I tried to do exactly the same with a "Charmer" version, but it didn't help me, the situation was the same.
However, now I'm able to flash successfully only the last vendor provided ROM update "RUU_Compact_ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe", but it doesn't help me anyway, my Charmer is still freezing in the splashscreen. I tried to downgrade it , but the application gives the following error: "UPGRADE ONLY". When I try to make a hard-reset, and after that to confirm the factory settings by pressing "Yes" (green) button, the result is "Format FAT partition" and then "format is failed".
Only the bootloader is working now as well as the battery charging. Please, help me to turn back to the life my Charmer!
And one additional question: can I perform a CID unlocking just by ROM-flashing or the device must be fully operable?
Flash this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/41754719/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe.html
After that, you should be able to make hard reset. If you succeed, flash "RUU_Compact_ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe" - that.
Hello there,
I am a new use an recently got an MDA PM200. I am in exactly the same situation as petrun. I have tried the flash suggested by vlodeck but it doesn't work, saying incorrect vendor ID (I guess that's because it's for a Prophet?).
What should I do next...?
Thanks.
OK, I succeed with a little progress. Many thanks to vlodeck, I will try to explain what happend...
I successfully flashed my Charmer with this Prophet ROM:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Full link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/41754719/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe.html
But it was possible only by using this "No ID" update application, not original one, maybe because my device is still locked:
Full link:
http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
After that I succeed to format the FAT partition (finally ). But I cannot after all to flash the latest official MDA compact II firmware. There is two possible events, which I experienced:
1. When I try to use the original flashing application, I get the following response: "UPGRADE ONLY".
2. When I try to flash the official MDA compact II ROM, but through the "No ID" application, I get "INVALID COMMAND".
Just for explication, now my device cannot boot, it freezes in the splashscreen (it is Qtek now, not T_Mobile...) and the following versions could be read:
IPL 2.06
SPL 2.20.0000
GSM 02.47.21
OS 2.20.7.34
So, how I can do that? What should I do further? I would like to unlock my Charmer, but should I firstly make it operable?
Thanks in advance for your help, guys!
By the way, all described above I tried sevetal times with the same result.
The other thing is that... all links about the CID unlocking downloads, which I found here are no longer active. Any alternatives?
Rise from the dead!
Incredibly, but it's a fact! After successfull FAT formating I probably didn't wait long enough. Today I turned on my Charmer and several seconds after the splashscreen "QTEK" it successffully booted in WM5, performed all settings and finally started to work!
It's GSM module works, the Bluetooth works, I am able to start different applications. Just the camera does not work. And the most strange thing for me is that this ROM was for Prophet, not for Charmer
So, after all, how to proceed to upgrade to WM6? Now the bootloader is above ver.2.
Should I firstly flash it with proper ROM (for Charmer) or it's not necessary?
Should I unlock it as is now (Prophet ROM)?
Vlodeck, I rely mostly on you, since the WM6 with Touch FLO is your creation.
Thanks!
You dont have to CID unlock. Just flash that WWE T-mobile WM5 AKU2 for Charmer. Good luck.
Maybe I am boring, but steel need an advice: I cannot flash "WWE T-mobile WM5 AKU2".
1. The original RUU gives me "UPGRADE ONLY", maybe because my SPL after flashing the Prophet ROM is 2.20
2. This "NO ID RUU":
http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
reaches 2% and gives "INVALID COMMAND", after that - only bootloader screen.
3. This "NO ID RUU":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42657&d=1183226200
cannot open the nk.nbf image (but works with other images), I don't know why.
What is the solution? Any ideas? Maybe some tool to downgrade the SPL to ver.1? I tried (it perhaps was bad idea)"RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship" and IPL became 1.12, but SPL remained 2.20... and Charmer didn't boot after that. After flashing the Prophet ROM it works again and IPL is 1.12, SPL is 2.20
In brief... how to flash successfully the last Charmer ROM?
If you cant flash the AKU 2 charmer rom, then go for AKU3.3 rom (can be german, that doesnt matter). Once done that, flash wm6.
Success
Yeah! Thanks to vlodeck now everitging is all right! I flashed the original German AKU3.3 ROM by using this RUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42657&d=1183226200
(The original one gives "INVALID VENDER ID", of course, in German ) After that - successfully upgrade to WM6 TouchFLO.
Briefly:
1. First try to flashing WM6 - crash! The reason: old bootloader version (IPL/SPL = 1.12).
2. Flashing the Prophet ROM - success for FAT formatting. The Charmer turned back to life.
3. Flashing the German AKU3.3 ROM from T-Mobile, but through the No ID RUU.
4. Upgrade to WM6 TouchFLO by vlodeck. At the begining I reached the same problem, as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331717
but after istalling cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab in my device I succeed to finish the process.
Thanks vlodeck, good job! This ROM is really amazing!

PLZ DEAR SIR WHAT IS SOLUTION OF MY MDA C2
MDA2 CANNOT CONNECT WITH ACTIVE SYNC
Of course it cannot connect with ActiveSync, the device doesn't boot. One certain solution for bricked Charmer is Prophet ROM:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Use this link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/41754719/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe.html
In order to flash this, you should enter the bootloader, without using the ActiveSync. After that try to perform a hard reset, you probably will succeed to format the FAT partition.
if you cannot connect the pda to pc HOW CAN U PUT THE ABOVE PROPHET RUU ON CUREENT?
I have a charmer and I was trying to update to wm6. I can´t because the ipl is 1.12. I updated rom to german aku 3.3. But I can´t hard reset. format error. I´m trying to put prophet rom to format it, but when I send the prophet rom, it always give me an error at 95%. error 326 - this nbf file cannot be used fo your pda phone. please check your nbf file. the aku3.3 rom flashes ok. any idea?? I try tu send a radio rom. after that is the same. 95%error. please help. I can´t bring my charmerback to life.
Hello together,
I have the same problem like _mestre_.
I updated from T-Mobile AKU 3.3 GER to WM6 and flashed back to WM5 without problems, but when flashing again to WM6 from vlodeck my charmer didn't boot anymore and had that "Format is failed"-problem when making a hard reset. I could not recover my device until now with the method explained in this thread cause of the problems "error 326 - This nbf file cannot be used for your pda phone". So the Prophet Rom does not seem to work with boot loader 3.x. Has anyone any idea? Please help! Thank you very much in advance!

Is my phone already dead? Please help me!
Hi, I have a similar may be the same problem!
My phone is a German t-mobile mda compact 2
First I work with “lokiwiz v.02” to unlock the SIM, and it works really well.
Then I installed “Charmer_Touch_ver._2.1” and I could calibrate the screen, and after that Win Mobile 6 installed all the extra stuff automatically. After that the device made a reboot, but it stop at the t-mobile boot screen.
Because the bootload modus is still running, I installed the newest original t-mobile software “RUU_compactII_AKU3.3_38222_382117_026921R_TMO_DE_GER_Ship” but this also didn’t solve the problem.
Hard reset didn't work and always says "Format is
The Start screen shows me this information:
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08.0000
GSM 02.69.21
OS 3.8.2.22
Is my phone really dead or could someone tell me a trick to reactivate it?
I think noone have a solution for us. I tried to send commands to phone whith mtty. and I can´t send. I don´t know why. so f we cannot send commands the sd card method will not work too. the only olution is to jtag the charmer. but can´t find any pinout information. if anyone knows this informtion, please help.
here is my problem. yesterday i tried to flash Shaks.Pv4.30Full_DiamondKB rom, from ROM.dia.1.7.0_100625. i did mtty (task 29) and started to flash as i did many times before.
however at 6% flash my hdd decided to make an epic fail, and died. after i sorted out my computer (new hdd, new win7...) i did mtty again (worked fine) and tried to flash. however (at 1%) now i get error 226:
when i reset phone goes directly into bootloader and gives: "Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again"
i have tried to flash Gen.Y D2 R5.5 WWE, RaL.GT1K, ROM.dia.1.7.0_100625, Duttys_5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_CVSD__3.02_, RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.37.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship (stock diamond), RUU_Victor_TMO_UK_1.37.110.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship (stock mda compact 4), and tlr-diamond-3.08.07.16.
all other roms fail at 1%, but tlr rom fails at 16%, and stock diamond and mda roms fail at 13%.
my phone is mda compact 4. before i have flashed hardspl olinex 1.93 unsigned, and radio 1.17 (from blackstone).
at the moment i really don't know what should i do next (i'm hoping it's not completely lost because i can get into bootloader), so any help would be appreciated.
Damn... This is Harsh.. I Hope someone can provide you with a solution.. I'm subscribing to this thread just in case something like this happens to me also
well, officially, my mda compact was bricked
but fear not, it can be resurrected, via JTAG (some shop did it for a price)...
however i do have a question, now when i enter bootloader it says:
DIAM100 64M
RIFFBOX RESURRECTED!
PSOC-Vict Stage_PVT v0x20.
now i wonder if it's ok to flash again unsigned HardSPL, and custom rom?
