Hello everybody !!
I just spent about 28 hours reading the threads in order to change my GERMAN O2 XDA MINI S (Wizard) ROM. Into an english one.
For that matter I know I need to unlock my CID, but since i have the latest ROM installed, IPL 2.21.001 and SPL 2.21.001 Lockwiz won't work !!!!
so I tried to Downgrade my Rom in order to make the Lockwiz work, but I am not able to find a suiting German Rom anywhere on the Net.
So I was wondering if nebody would be kind enough to tell me where to find and older German ROM or how I can avoid DOWNGRADING and simply unlock my CID

Since you have a G4 boot chip (the tailing .001 in IPL and SPL tells that) you CANNOT downgrade your ROM to 1.x version.
DO NOT TRY INSTALLING A 1.X ROM: YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PPC!!! DO NOT FOLLOW FARIA's PROCEDURE TO CID UNLOCK 2.X PHONES: IT WON'T WORK IN YOUR CASE ('cos you've got a G4 boot chip).
This means that you will NOT be able to CID/SIM unlock your phone with lokiwiz 0.2b (however you can still use lokiwiz 0.3a to SIM unlock it, but no CID unlock).
But don't despair, you CAN still change your phone language and install whatever 2.x rom you like. The procedure to follow, however, is a bit different: you cannot simply download a rom you like and install it, you'll need to hack it a little first, but the results will be the same!
Basically, all you have to do is get the ROM you like (only 2.xx ROM!!!) and remove from it the IPL/SPL part. Then, you have to flash this 'hacked' rom using a slightly modified ROM Upgrade Utility (i can provide it to you if you want). With this method you're not going to replace the IPL/SPL (bootloader) of your phone so you don't need to CID unlock it (which, at the time i'm writing, is impossible).
To remove IPL/SPL from your ROM you have to extract the file nk.nbf from the ROM and get its content with typho5 tool (search this forum to have more info). Then you have to reassemble a new nk.nbf using nb2nbf. The new nk.nbf, of course, must NOT contain the IPL/SPL parts.
If you prefer, you can tell me what ROM are you interested in and i'll do the dirty work for you. Just let me know.

Hi risidoro,
I am trying upgrade my O2 German Wizrad G4 version into WWE, I followed your instruction & has used nb2nbf to compile a 2.xx rom without IPL & SPL. When I used the update utility to falsh the Wizard, the utility said something like: Error, this update utility is not for your device. etc.
I think I need to used your modified update utility , can you send it to me?
Also my other question is, when I use nb2nbf , what should I put in the model id for my German Wizard?
You advice can help me & many others to solve our headache in upgrading a G4 Rom! Cheers!

The modified RUU (ROM Update Utility) is attached.
For ModelID you can use both WIZARD or Prodigy (i used the former).

does this mean that its on a G3 chip and that i can use lokiwiz03a to CID unlock it and upload any 2.x ROM as i please? and downgrade the ROMs too?
@Bola: you have a 1.x ROM so you can CID unlock your phone with Lokiwiz0.2b (NOT 0.3a). Then you'll be able to install whichever ROM you like.
Bye
I've just published a tutorial that can help those with a G4 or G3 (>= 2.21) CID-Locked device to install whichever 2.x ROM they like.
The tutorial is here:

people like you makes this site great
thanks once again.
Hi everyone,this is my first tread and I hope someone can help me.
I've just bought a T-Mobile MDA VARIO in USA that is Unlock,because it read me differens SIMs with no problem, but I want to know if is also CID - unlocked because I want to put in, afterwards, the ROM with the italian language.
What I have to do to look if is CID locked or not?
thank you for your time

Ciao,
this is what you have to do:
1) Check whether your phone is G3 or G4 (reset and look at IPL/SPL version: 2.xx.0001->G4; 2.xx->G3)
2) If it is G4: you cannot CID unlock it. To install a different rom, then, you must follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043
3) If it is G3 AND rom version is >= 2.21 (equal or greater than 2.21): cannot be CID unlocked, use the same tutorial as for G4.
4) If it is G3 AND rom version is < 2.21 (minor than 2.21): follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116 to learn how to downgrade the rom and CID unlock the phone.

MDA ROM Questions
Thank you, Risidoro, for the excellent advice.
I have a couple of follow-up questions:
Background: My T-Mo (USA) MDA has SPL/IPL 2.26, OS 2.26.10.2 (determined as per your advice). I'd like to install a different "unrestricted" ROM (mainly to get access to JAVA and to impove performance).
Here are the questions:
1. The current ROM (2.26) is not the original software of my MDA: it's the official update released by T-Mo a couple of months ago (I installed it myself). I don't know by now what was the orginal version. It was probably a much earlier version, perhaps 1.17. So, my first question is: does it matter what the original version was, or it only matters what the current version is? Can I fry the phone if I follow your advice for case 3?
2. T-Mo unlocked the phone for me (they do it for its customers after a while). However, I don't know if it's been both SIM-unlocked and CID-unlocked; or just SIM-unlocked. How do I find out? I did run lokiwiz on it (just in case) but I have no idea if it succeded.
3. After running lokiwiz, I tried to install QTek 9100 ROM with push mail, shipping (I found it on the web, and it claimed to be for a shipping QTeck; so, I thought it's a pretty safe ROM). It states that its version is 2.17.7.102. However, the installation failed: it got to the three-colored screen and stopped there. The device is OK though (after soft reset), just runs the previous software 2.26. What does it tell us? And does it make sense at all to "upgrade" to a lower version just to get an unlocked JAVA-running device? Or you'd recommend a different ROM (which one?)?
Many thanks,
LKMDA

For your point 3:
Does the problem appears after I upgrade the ROM version to 2.26 (t-mobile)?
Current version is 1.7.13
can the G4 be unlock through - http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ ?

Hi,
I've installed the latest AKU 3.2 Version on my Wizard.
Now i've wanted to downgrade to AKU 2.0 (with the original Loader Provided from "Vario_AKU2.0_05-2006.exe") and the tool tells me it is not possible. Is there a way to make it run?
Thanks a lot
It looks like nobody has an idea how to downgrade from SPL2.xx en that sucks! noboby warns about it when supplying new ROMS..
I have the same problem with a TMobile Vario that needs to be flashed to stock ROM\IPL\SPL..
I've found a way to do it but its for the HTC Thyfoon and might not work with the Wizard..
Nobody warns ??????????????????????????
Gramma told me that if I don't have something nice to say to keep quiet...
Maybe if you downgrade to a 1.xx ROM first you can then go back to your AKU 2.

I've searched for hours the two solutions Boots 1.05 end Cingular 1.8 do not work but if you are so sure their is an solution ill keep searching
Ofcource I know about warnings but ive NEVER seen an warning about SPL not being able to downgrade..
Possible solution
A German mate told me that there is a solution
Try to load the Qtec Custom Rom from ...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
.. and Flash it to your Wizard. After that is should be possible to load older Roms without any problems.
I did not have tested it... (Please tell me if its works or not).

If you have a G3 device you can downgrade your IPL/SPL. I've done it my Cingular 8125 and it's 3 replacement PDA's numerous times. In addition I've downgraded at least 20 phones to 1.05 so's I could unlock and then upgrade. And then done it again. If you follow faria's instructions that is.... Now I HAVE had to flash the 1.05 twice to get the SPL down to 1.05. Humor us huh?
Note: I realize that Faria says that it doesn't work above 2.21 but I have performed this procedure on at least a dozen "out of the box" Cingular 2.25's. Downgrade to 1.05. Extract lokiwiz to the root of your C drive. Copy enablerapi.cab to your device (I know that you've unlocked your device, just indulge me please ) Execute enablerapi.cab from your PDA. get to a Dos prompt and run lokiwiz from the C prompt. Unlock CID and SIM. It WILL reboot each time. If your IPL / SPL still show a 2.x reflash again with the 1.05.
If you do this I'll just about guarantee that it'll work
Good Luck!

Your garantee worked great fabulous work ! I downgraded my Dutch MDA Vario from official Tmobile Rom RUU_Prodigy_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship.exe with 2.21 IPL.SPL to 1.05. Indeed needed to run WWE flashrom - did the Lockwiz2b CID unlock and ran the Flashrom WWE again and voila IPL/SPL 1.01 - OS 1.5.4.2 -GSM 1.12.10.0 - Thanks a lot!!
I owe you one ..
Hi,
i want to downgrade my 2.21 G3 Vario as well which is NLD and locked. I believe that I know all the steps neccesary and already downed the QTEK custom ROM. Can I just execute this ROM and have it install the older version on my Vario, run lokiwiz02b and upgrade again?
One part I didn't find on the forum was the need to run "WWE flashrom" again to downgrade to 1.05
What is this WWE flashrom, is it a seperate tool besides the Custom rom and if yes where do I get it?
thanks,
stefan

I have the same problem.
But i allready downgaded with the Custom version.
When i restart i can see. it is IPL 1.01 and SPL 2.26
Is it possilble olso downgrade the SPL (i do not exactrly know what it is)
Downgrading/Upgrading
Dr P. or anyone else,
I've seen "somewhere on this board" a description of how to flash "any rom" without having to downgrade to 1.05, it stated to change the .exe file to a .rar and then change the ruu file to one that is not looking for the current phone status. I've tried that and have not had success in doing so. IF there is infact a way to do this, could someone please provide a blow by blow scenario to accomplish it?
Thanks,

Bet you didn't run the 1.05 a second time as I stated before. I'm actually doing a brand new Cingular G3 2.25 as we speak. I downgraded to 1.05, SPL still says 2.25. Copied enablerapi to the device and executed it from the device. Extracted lokiwiz to the root of my E drive (on my new thinkpad that I'm setting up at the same time...) It rebooted twice as it's susposed to when you unlock the CID and the SIM. Ran the downgrade a second time and both IPL and SPL are 1.01, the GSM is 1.12.10.0 and the OS is 1.5.4.2.... every freak'n time I do this, probably close to two dozen Cingular 8125's. If it don't work for you I just don't know what more to tell ya....

I own a Dutch MDA Vario from T-mobile, which has a T-mobile SIM-lock. I want to remove the SIM-lock, so I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474&page=1. Unfortunately it returned an error, it appears I have a 2.21 ROM, so I want to downgrade the rom, which brought me to this thread.
I've downloaded the CUSTOM_RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe, and ran it. I get the first few screens (the caution-screen, the prepare-screen, the Update screen, the verify screen and the last screen). After that I get the screen where a percentage bar should start moving. My phone-screen is now divided in about four horizontal parts.
The first one is red-fading to black, and it reads RUU on the top-right, and the line below it reads IPL 2.21.0001. The last line in this part reads SPL 2.21.0001.
The second part is similar to the first, but it is green, without any text. The third part is similar to the green one, except it's blue.
The last part is smaller than the previous parts, it's plain white (about two lines high) and reads USB.
On my PC I get a screen telling me:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Udate Uility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utillity.
What am I doing wrong here? (BTW: I'm a computer-expert and a phone-noob)
By the way, the verify screen reads:

HEY just use lkiwiz .2b to CID unlock and then flash any ROM you want! You do not have to downgrade the SPL in order to CID unlock!

wrong name?

"lkiwiz .2b" - what is this? If this is software to unlock CID in wizard, check the name (probably is wrong) or I can't search in net.... Is this lokiwiz - Version 0.2b
Thanks for reply

ya i missed the 'o'
it is LOKIWIZ 0.2b! run it man. I had wizard love's ROM, IPL 1.01, SPL 3.08. I then unlocked the ICD using lokiwiz and flashed XDA WM6r5.
Good Luck!
Now, i dont know if i should reinstall the IPL/SPL 3.08 flash... it might just mess everything up again! also the radio update sounds interesting...
ANy ideas?

Within the past 2 hours, I have flashed 2 ROMS:
1. TNT.19199 Series V.2 (Offcial/Professional/TouchFLO) WM 6.1 Real Port
2. WM6.1 For Wizard OS 5.2.19521 buit 19521 WWE
I did a HardRest to T-Mobile ROM, connected to ActiveSync, went through the XP-ROMUpdate Utility until 100% completed, Clicked on Finished.
Saw the TNT Series It's Right with 2.26, 2.26, 2.25.11 and 2.26.10.2.
Then for some unknown reason the MDA restarted and came back up with the T-Mobile Hard Reset Screen and ask for a tap on screen, etc., to go through a total reset back to the T-Mobile ROM.
What did I do wrong?
Even after the T-Mobile ROM reset I still see the TNT Series It's Right with 2.26, 2.26, 2.25.11 and 2.26.10.2. screen but then my MDA is displaying the T-Mobile Today screen with the default Today stuff.
What do I need to do?
Thank you.
It sounds like your phone is not cid unlocked
Did you follow these steps for unlocking before flashing ??

Used WST V 0.4.0.0 and did a CID Unlock and received notification that CID Unlock completed. Do a Soft Reset which I did do.
Tried again to Flash both ROMS and they did show 100% competed/finished.
MDA softreset and showed both first screens of flashed roms, then went into Windows Mobile T-Mobile.
So, what did I do wrong?
This is the message I received after the CID Unlock:
All Done. CID Unlocking is finished and you
can now flash any ROM to your device.
All Done.
Don't forget to soft-reset device!!
A file with new CID value was created.
A backup file was created in program's
folder to restore to previous state.
This is other data:

So my phone is not CID Unlocked.
Where am I going wrong?
Thank you.
You didn't read the stickies carefully.
You need to flash the Button's ROM to have your IPL and SPL lowered to 1.01 before unlocking!
YUP !
It is must to have IPL/SPL 1.xx to CID unlock the phone,so read the sticky carefully and follow the method correctly.
Cheers!
Thank you both for helping me. I do agree that one should read very carefully. No excuses. However, there is so much to read and so many postings to read from. Again, I do appreciate your help and now I will find the T-Mobile Origirnal 1.xx ROM to load and go from there.
I will post this and I hope I do not get flamed. These are just suggestions from a new person. Please accept them as such.
1. Why did WST display that my MDA was CID Unlocked when it really was not? Should there be an edit up front to check for the correct IPL/SPL?
2. Why did both ROMs go through a complete cycle and then display that the ROM was completely flashed when it was not. Should there be an edit up front to check to ensure that the CID is Unlocked rather than go through all the install?
3. Why did both ROMS leave the splash screen on the MDA? Is there a way to get ride of them?
I know, read the threads before you take any action. Thank you both! You are right.
1.
CIDkey: MODULESN
CID IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CID: WIZTMU01
Phone is CID LOCKED
WST does NOT show that it is unlocked...
2. Yes, there is checking in the Original RUU, all RUU in our custom WM6 ROMs are modified to bypass the checking. That's why it won't work if you try to flash another Carrier ROM to your Wizard without replacing the RUU program.
3. Just flash your original ROM (IPL+SPL 1.xx), unlock, and flash it again then you will get back the original splash.

(Not to disagree with you, but I did get a display that:
'This is the message I received after the CID Unlock:

All Done.

A file with new CID value was created.

So, WST did display it CID UNLOCKED my MDA. That should be corrected in WST.)
2. Yes, there is checking in the Original RUU, all RUU in our custom WM6 ROMs are modified to bypass the checking. That's why it won't work if you try to flash another Carrier ROM to your Wizard without replacing the RUU program.
(I was addressing not the Original RUU, but the Flashing ROM that does not check or bypasses the checking. Would this help others if this edit was performed prior to executing the complete Flashing?)
3. Just flash your original ROM (IPL+SPL 1.xx), unlock, and flash it again then you will get back the original splash.

(Yes, I will do this. Thank you again for your help.)
Don't ever trust the successful message when you unlock CID (This is the same for using LokWiz02 also). Always perform CID check again after unlocking, that is the real status.
Cracking is not easy. Bypassing operations is relatively easy. Adding operations is very hard, so...

You are correct. One must never ASSUME that something is done. I wonder how many others have fallen into the same trap?
Latest status for me now is that I have:
IPL 1.08
SPL 2.26
01.0.9.10
2.26.10.2
So, I am back to the drawing board and trying to flash again. Tried WST and TNT and still did not take.
Maybe I am doomed to be with what is on the MDA.
Thank you again.

There's no such trap,its just that the method is not correctly followed,either missing doing some step or doing a step incorrectly,resulting in not getting the things done correctly.
WST tool will not work in bootloaders ( multicolored screen) or in the splash screen stuck up.Secondly,TNT Rom is a wm6 rom,it won't flash or work with IPL 1.xx,it has to have IPL/SPL 2.xx and a CID unlocked phone.
after you flashed Button's Rom you got IPL 1.08 and SPL 2.26,reflash the Button's rom a couple of times more to make IPL/SPL 1.xx,it sometimes takes more then one flash to downgrade ipl/spl 1.xx,then apply lokiwiz02b to SIM/CID unlock the phone,upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx by flashing T-mobile 2.26 or official stock rom of your carrier AKU 2 Rom,only then upgrade to TNT series wm6 or 6.1 Rom.
Cheers!

Well I finally flashed TNT 19199 Pro and it did install completely. I did use Button ROM which installed 1.08, 2.26.010.9.10 and 2.26.10.2. Then I used WST to CID unlock. Then I flashed TNT.
The main reason for me trying to flash a new ROM was that my MDA Touch Screen capability is very sporadic. It works some times, but not all the time. The only way I can get it to work after the Touch Screen is no longer touch sensitive, is to re-flash. I know that is not practical, but I want to try to resolve this Touch Screen problem.
Even after this latest Flash of TNT, I am still experiencing the same Touch Screen problem of not recognizing using the stylist.
Any suggestions? I assume that it is a hardware (MDA) problem and not a software (ROM) problem.
