I have T-mobile MDA-4 which i suppose is Diamond.
The phone is network unlocked...but the problem is i am not able to access internet.
In settings it says "The internet settings are locked for T-mobile only" and is not giving me any option to create new settings.
Please help how can i access internet on this phone.
If i need to rewrite the OS, which all files will i be requiring, where can i get it
and most important,
what are the chances of my handset going DEAD.
please someone help.
thanks
Please read this:

If you do everything right, there is no chance of getting the headset dead. I recommend this for flashing, which is much safer and faster.
Thanks for the reply.
But can u please tell me if i will be able to flash it with any ROM file since it is a T-mobile handset.
Someone told me that i will be able to flash it with same CID rom only and no other rom can be written over it.
I want to write WWE rom on it.
The handset is however unlocked.
please help
can i load WWE rom over a t-mobile diamond DIA200
how do i do that
please some one help
First you might want to check with TMOB that they havent blocked your internet access/data transfer on your account. They had done it on my MDA4 but a quick call to customer services sorted it out.
Alternativley pop in a PAYG sim card and see what you can access on that.
If they have blocked data access on your contract sim nothing will help (including flashing new ROM).

Hello everybody
Yesterday I tried to use "lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker v0.2b" for my new T-mobile MDA Vario because otherwise I was not able to upgrade the ROM from 1.6.2.2 to the latest one. But.. in the end I got a problem. To be honest this problem was appearing periodically before unlocking/upgrading but now it presents permanently. I simply can not dial any phone number. The systems responds as: "SIM card is not installed or invalid" (something like that from translation from Dutch into English, originally: "SIM-kaart ontbreekt of ongeldig").
I already tried to use this SIM in my previous phone (SE T630) and it still works perfectly. I can dial numbers, I can SMS, whatever. But in my new T-mobile MDA Vario this SIM card just does not admit dialing the phone numbers.
Does anybody have any thoughts, what it might be?
Thank you very much in advance!!!
P.S. Honestly, in case of warranty during unlocking process I kept my SIM card out off the MDA.
Just for info...
When I bought MDA the version of ROM was 1.6.2.2 NLD
After upgrading I got ROM 2.21.2.5 NLD and ExtROM 2.21.2.108
As I see now it connected to T-mobile network but still can't dial any number, reporting of the possible problems with SIM card. In the same time this SIM card is working with no any problems in my T630.
This is a very strange problem indeed. When you turn your device on or soft reset, does the device ask for a PIN code for the phone? If it asks for a PIN code and it accepts that code and starts searching for a signal, that means that the device can read the SIM card. It is very strange that when you have a signal, the device cannot make call. Either it should not be able to compare your PIN code to the one on your SIM and give an error message, or if it accepts your PIN code, you should be able to make calls. Perhaps there is a hardware problem with your SIM slot that makes the device unable to read the info on your card? Since it works in your other phone, the SIM does not seem to be the problem. You can try flashing another ROM on it to test if the device works with that ROM. If that does not work as well, flash back to an original T-Mobile NL ROM and call T-Mobile for your warranty.
When it is loaded it shows up the Telefoon screen with the following message: "Ongeldige of ontbrekende SIM-kaart. U kunt nog wel alarmnummers bellen, als uw seviceprovider dit ondersteunt." If I type numbers it show stars, like I would enter the password. Why stars? I already tried to input my unlocking code but it didn't help, as looks like it expects something else that this. I may just press Annuleren and continue working with other available functions of MDA but still may not use the phone.
Could you please share the info how to downgrade back to 1.6 ROM?
Thank you very much for your response!
Ok, this indicates that your device cannot read your SIM card. The screen you get on start-up is the screen where you normally enter your PIN code, if the device can read your SIM Card. That is why you see only stars when you enter a number there. Seems to me that your device cannot read your SIM Card and therefore cannot compare the PIN you enter to the one on your SIM card. You should not be able to get a signal from T-Mobile, since your phone cannot read the SIM and cannot register with the network. This can be caused by three problems: either your SIM card slot is broken, or your ROM is faulty (try flashing it to another ROm first, for instance a Qtek ROM from the ftp server, there are many ROMs available there) or the SIM card is defective ( seems not to be the case here, since it still works in your other phone).
I recommend that you first try another ROM on your phone, e.g. a Qtek ROM. If the problem goes away then, just keep the Qtek ROM or try flashing the T-Mobile ROM again. If that does not help, flash the latest T-Mobile ROM (from their website) to your device and claim your warranty for a broken sim slot.
As far as I know it is not possible to downgrade to the 1.6 ROM, it is a non-AKU ROM and cannot override an AKU ROM. Perhaps someone can correct me, since I am not a 100% sure of this. You do not need the 1.6 ROM at all, if the Qtek ROM does not work, just flash the latest T-Mobile ROM to your device and claim warranty. Since you then have an official T-Mobile ROM on your device, warranty should not be a problem.
Would be that a problem to flash latest T-mobile upgrade back from Qtek? I need to know it just in case I would not be able to do that. Cause otherwise, sorry, but im ****ed up in front of warranty office..
It should not be a problem to flash the T-Mobile ROM over a Qtek ROM. You can first try a hard-reset to see if that solves your problem. You can also call T-Mobile Klantenservice and tell them your problem. Tell them you want to use a Qtek ROm to figure out the problem and ask them permission to do so. They are known to give permission for such actions if that can save them from repairing your device. Be sure they make a note in your file stating that they give you permission, that makes your case stronger if there is a problem with your warranty later on. Good luck!
Do you think it's illegal installing even T-mobile NL ROM updates by myself, i.e. not asking T-mobile to do so?
Like I said the previous version of my ROM was 1.6.2.2. Then I actually tried to flash the latest UK version (2.21.2.5). The network signal was actually appearing from time-to-time but then it just died. Then I tried to install the latest NL version (2.21.2.5NLD) to check whether the signal would appear. But it didn't help.
Installing official T-Mobile updates is not illegal. T-Mobile NL made the upgrade available on their site. These updates are meant to be carried out by the users themselves, therefore the file and instructions are placed on their site. For other brands ( Nokia, SE) these updates cannot be done by the users themselves, but Windows Mobile updates are meant to be done by you, thereby saving T-Mobile the costs of performing the upgrades for you. So if an official T-Mobile ROM is on your device, they can never deny you your warranty. You can try to replace the radio Rom only (there is a thread on this) to see if that helps, but I recommend flashing an official T-Mobile NL ROM on your device and claim your warranty. Since you have tried different ROMs, the problem obviously resides in the hardware. If a hard-reset does not help, use the lokiwiz application to sim and cid lock your device again and T-Mobile will not be able to see that you had unlocked it. Just mention that you tried a hard reset and that you tried upgrading to the latest official T-Mobile ROM and they will have to honour your warranty.
Re: T-mobile NL: problems with dialing after unlocking &
First of all to my knowledge T-Mobile MDA Vario in NL is SIMlocked and CID locked . If you want to know the difference I advise you to search in the xda-forum or google it.
Here are a few comments from my experience of upgrading and unlocking my MDA Vario.
( BTW I have T-Mobile MDA Vario initially with 1.6 ROM and SIM& CID lock -first upgraded to 2.21.2.5 then unlocked with lokiwizard3a !! )

I disagree with this, upgrading should not require you to unlock your device unless you upgrade to a None-T-Mobile ROM. If this was your main target ( only the Tmobile upgrade ) you shoudn;t have messed with the unlock stuff

I am a bit puzzled you state that the device was not behaving well before you started tweaking. Why did you not go to the Tmobile shop? OK you like the challenge ? Anyway it does look like a Hardware issue to start with.

OK what have you tried else?
The suggestion of trying a QTEK ROM shold be blocked by your CID lock. I you remove the CID lock ( which is possible but not legal ) your warranty is at risk. Tmobile may claim you messed up your device ...
Therefor What I did is only take the SIM lock out. Lokiwizard 2(a/b) did not work for my upgraded MDA so I looked around a bit and found that there is a newer version 3a. That one worked for me on the Tmobile 2.21.2.5 ROM. I did not use or try the QTEK rom since the Tmobile rom allows my warranty to be safe and is newer ( and stable afaik) then the QTEK rom .
I also have found there are updater that do not check your version number of NBF file because you officially can not downgrade the 2.21.2.5 so there is a way back should you need to. Though I personally did not verify this . I mailed with a person here at XDA forum who did it with success.
I would propose to play dummy when approaching Tmobile and not ask to go to QTEK rom and tryin to be the smartass.
Try to downgrade and go for warranty - thats what I would do..
There many answers to my questions in the forums, but I need to understand a bit better, hence the special topic.
I am thinkin of getting an MDA Vario with Co-Pilot software, this would be on T-Mobile Network. (actaully an upgrade by a family member for me).
I am on Vodafone myself, so I would need to unlock it, what the difference between SIM lock and CID unlock ? Which do I need to do ?
Then I would want to get rid of all the T-mobile branding, am I right in thinking that would be via a ROM upgrade to a unbranded ROM ? Which is the most favoured ROM people go for ? Whats usually the differences between these branded and unbranded ROM's ?
Stupid question, but th Co-Piliot Software would not get effected my any of these updates would it ? Or does it come on a CD, so I just need to re-install it after all the updated ?
Thats alot of big questions I know, so now you know how confused my head is, any explanantion would be fantastic and help me understand what I would need to do.
Thanks a bunch.
So after more reading I got some answers.
SIM Lock - The lock put on by your mobile supplier, which prevents you using another carriers SIM card. Usually done as your getting the phone at a fraction of the actual cost.
CID Lock - The lock on the phone which prevents ROM updates, I believe it prevents other ROMS, so you can use the current suppliers update ROMS, but will not allow you to put a ROM of another supplier.
ROM's - So there ROM provided by mobile carrier's, for UK I found there is ones from O2, T-Mobile and Qtek, I still do not know what the differences are other then the branding.
I am on Vodafone and by chance found a ROM for Vodafone :-
http://s131209249.online.de/vodafone_software/9100.htm
So I am thinking maybe this would be the best option for me.
I still would like to hear opinons on ROM's, please PLEASE helppppppp.
I assume I CID unlock my T-mobile UK and then I can apply any ROM including the above Vodafone one.
Got my vario today locked to T-mobile UK. And it was a G4 chip.
IPP/SPL - 2.21.0001
OS - 2.24.2.6
I had no t-mobile SIM so stuck my vodafone SIM in, first asks for my personal SIM password, then it asks for unlock code.
At this point I ran lokiwiz03a, which ran but never gave me unlock code, mentioned something about not being able to copy some file and it might be in use.
So I copied EnableRapi.cab to my phone and ran EnableRapi.cab from File Explorer, that went fine (message about overwrite, said yes)
Then I ran LockiwizMsl.bat from desktop while being connected to ActiveSync and there it was the unlock code.
Entered worked fine.
As regards the ROM upgrade, my main reason was to lose all t-mobile crap, but found an easier way with ZERO risk:
First time ever you startup phone it does inital setup, the last step it beings to do an install, as soon as the install starts pull the battery out, then reboot. (Important to have the battery cover off already)
On reboot you should be able to go into the phone no setup screens this time, also ZERO customizations, yes means you need to do all the GPRS, MMS etc etc setting yourself, but that I am happy to do.
Hope this helps someone.
I recently purchased an 02 XDA IIS. Its unlocked so I can use my vodafone sim card. However, I cannot send or receive MMS, and obviously, I cannot access Vodafone Live. The friend who sold me the phone said I can just download the software for voda and reboot which would solve the prob. But after looking for the last 2 hours I cannot find anything. Any ideas?
i would be grateful if you could let me know...i need it too many thanks
email me if you find the solution
[email protected]
just try changing the settings for mms and gprs
http://www.mphone.co.uk/mms_wap_settings_vodafone.html
thanks for the help but it still wont connect to live or send/receive mms. im sure i do need the software from voda. But just dont know whereto find it.
im in a similiar situation as well.........
The device is set up in there sections, the radio rom, the ce rom and the ext rom. Carriier information or apps are found in the ext rom. The process is called cooking or backing.
If you would like you x branded phone to look and feel like a y branded phone then you need to exchange the content of the ext rom.
Some settings can be changed on the system , sms number, voice mail others are loaded through the ext rom (splash screens, e-mail setup programs for carrier y).
Best thing is wiki, read the info in the kitchen, understand the ext rom, cook it and most of all have fun.

Hi, I've updated my Trinity with this ROM.
All works fine, except that it doesn't work with my SIM card.
When I insert the SIM card, I got a message and the Network Wizard:"Your current operator (23433) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor.
Would you like to select another network provider?
Basically I can't connect to the network and the network wizard gave me only asian and australian operator I can choose from, but I'm on Orange and in UK!!
Please let me know what's wrong!
Cheers
You sure it doesn't work when you wait a while? It should work telephony-wise, but the data settings you have to change manually...
just doesn't accept Orange SIM cards..
Can't understand why...maybe has a lock when you insert an Orange SIM?
Orange simcards
Hi gioazz,
I bought an m700 from you on ebay ( dezlatics )and have found it to work great, but I am eager to use the GPS option with it.
But just a quick note on your issue....
I have now installed an Orange 3g Pay as you go simcard with no problems.
However, I did originally buy a simcard and have problems connecting to the internet. I rang Orange customer services and they told me that the simcard was only a 2G simcard and that it was not compatible with the m700. So I then bought a 3G simcard and everything is sorted.
So perhaps you are trying to use a 2G card and not a 3G card??
Could you possibly send me any info on the GPS rom update that you have installed and tell me how to check if my m700 is locked or unlocked.
Cheers mate!
My Sim Card is 3G but it doesn't work with any Orange SIM...I think that this is simply a faulty phone.
As for the GPS ROM, just download the ROM from the FTP it works great, and if your already works with an Orange SIM I think it will still working.
I've tried to revert to an old ROM and the nproblem is still there so I think is just the phone.
It does works with any other phone SIM so far,so I think is simply an Orange lock on this device...
'FTP' - What is this?
Thanks for your reply gioazz,
But because I am a bit of a newbie on this site, could you tell me what the 'ftp' is please. Where I can look for the ROM update.
My apologies if this is such a stupid question!

First of all - great username!
Second of all, ftp (file transfer protocol) is where you are going to find the stockpile of roms and other files the esteemed members of this forum have compiled from around the world. Here's a link to the trinity rom page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades
Good luck with the update...I see in another post of yours you already CID unlocked your phone.
How Do I Know If My Device Is Unlocked?
Thanks for your reply PSARGENT,
Yes I unlocked my Trinity with the IMEI unlocking service, it cost me £20.00 but I think it will be worth it in the long run.
But how can I test that my device is unlocked and will stay unlocked even after I upgrade using the GPS ROM update?
Is there a quick to tell, or do I have to try and install software that is not digitally signed to find out, Also, I do not have any other carriers simcards to try in my Trinity either.
Cheers!
Still no sign of the Official GPS ROM Update from HTC!!!
Sorry for the double posting!!
I did not read your reply to my post in the other Trinity section of the site, my apologies psargent!
Solution
Do Hardreset,
After you finish the initial phase, do hard reset before it installs the DOPOD software (the 3 seconds countdown) and your sim will work fine.

Hi so i have the att fuze but i have tmobile service, so the instant messaging doesnt work, also i would like to get rid of the att settings and applications, how can i go about doing this i know theres a way to flash it but if i do that wil lthe features on the phone still work, without the drivers, please help with directing me to a program and instructions...Thank you kindly
still need help
ok so ive done more research and i only seem to keep finding the roms and ruu for the cdma version, does anyone know which programs and where to get the gsm version, this is my first time ever doing anything like this so some help is much appreciated..thanks
If you look in the Raphael ROM development section you will see many new ROM's for the fuze. There is ROMeOS, NATF's, Da_G's, and PROvens just to name a few. All of the above are excellent ROM's that due away with the AT&T bloatware. Also if you find the settings for TMobile you can get SMS/MMS to work. You can start here for ROM Flashing for noobs ------->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
thanks, im dloading that now..will i have to enter another unlock code? also how do i customize the features to what i want?
Each ROM comes with specific things. Some are made for speed and some have tons of apps. You will need to find the right one for your needs. I have flashed 6 different ROM's till I found the one I liked. Just make sure you flash HARD SPL before you do a ROM flash. You should not have to get another unlock code, but in case you do the original one should work. I had the Google G1 and unlocked it for AT&T, and I used the unlock code twice because the first time I messed it up.
Also, most roms auto detect what providers sim is in the device and automatically configures all the network settings.
202 error
now im trying to do the hard spl flash...and keep getting the 202 error that theres no connection with active sycn...any suggestions?
make sure your device is active synced with your computer. Are you using win xp or vista? Whats the operating system. I also have a fuze and i am using it on tmobile and i have no problems with the sms/text or anything. PM me or IM me if you have any other questions.
i got it worked out thanks scott..does anyone have a free turn by turn navigation for this phone?
I have a Sprint Touch Pro, does anyone know of step-by-step instructions like the link listed earlier to the thread for the GSM version?
To Unlock, FLash & Relock
Hope this helps.. God Bless.
