Hello everyone im new to the forum, i have a t mobile vario, i have managed to unlock it curtusy of lokiwiz unlock 0.2a. i have a few questions if someone could help me on
1. on the unlocker software there is a option of CID unlocking, what is this?
2. is there any differences between the different variations of the wizard, 02 mini, tmobile vario, kjam, qtek.... which has the better firmware??
3. can i put either kjam or qtek firmware on my vario?
Many thanks peeps :lol:
Speaking as an MDA Vario owner who has reflashed with the k-jam ROM (and now can't go back!) I would say the only benefit of changing ROM is to enable 802.11g network access, which T-Mobile disabled in software.
There appear to be no other benefits. On the downside there are features that come with the Vario that do not work with the k-jam ROM. e.g. the email setup wizard does not work. Hardly a showstopper but an example. There is also an error message on resetting about elatepushservices.exe not found or not signed. Again, it doesn't seem to cause a problem but why klutz your machine up without a good reason to do so? The version numbers of everything that comes with the Vario also seem to be higher than the k-jam ROM, which I'm guessing is a good thing.
Unless you simply must have 802.11g connectivity, as well as 802.11b, my recommendation would be to leave well alone. It will also make warranty support much easier.
oh ok so is that the only major difference then. i find my vario isn't that stable. my device currently reads
rom version 1.3.2.2 enu
rom date 9/25/05
radio version 01.04.10
protocol version 4.0.13.17
extrom version 1.3.2.102
did u use ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ for your firmware?

I did use the clubimate ftp ROM and my equivalent figures, with the Vario extended ROM remaining, are....
rom version 1.1.9.3
rom date 9/16/05
radio version 01.01.10
protocol version 4.0.13.16
extrom version 1.3.2.102
so all my version numbers are lower than yours excep the extended ROM, which I saved from my Vario.
I don't recall the Vario ROM being less stable than the k-jam but you need to be very careful what software you install as there is a lot of stuff that is not 100% WM5 compatible. It might install and it might run but it might also crash or destabilise your machine. I have only installed the T-Nobile supplied GPRS monitor, Total Commander, TomTom 5.21 and a couple of GPS utilities and that's it.
As soon as you start throwing in today plugins and other system utilities that are less than 100% WM5 compatible you are asking for trouble, IMHO.
Hi there,
I just looked on the FTP, but is there any Dutch K-Jam/Qtek 9100 ROM available for the MDA Vario?
Thanks!!
Jeremy.
on the ftp i can see:
RUU_Prodigy_1030710_110_10410_Qtek_NLD_Ship.exe
-> uploads/htc wizard
this is right for you

Just check the XDA-Dev. FTP site.
There you can find the Dutch rom which greddy pointed out.
ftp.xda-developers.com
user = xda
pass = xda
hmmm by the looks of it i might hold out until theres some newer rom updates with significant improvements. at the mo it looks like theres only a few tweeks and i dont wana risk bricking my vario.
t mobile released updates for the mda compact and mda II http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
maybe they'll release some for the vario???
For us we own an english version of Qtek 9100 in which site we'll find the future ROM Updates?
have you tried xda developers ftp site? ftp://xda-developers.com/ or dont qtek have a support area?
Hi there,
Thanks, I didn't see that.
A few questions:
1. HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD THE FILE?? I can access the FTP-server, but when I try to download the Rom, the file stops downloading after apx. 20 - 40%, whichafter I even have to reset my router to get the internet working again. I used both the FTP Explorer and the Internet Explorer.
2. Should I also upgrade the Extended Rom? I want to get rid of these ugly, squared, pink and grey T-Mobile phonepad keys, so is this stored in the Extended Rom?
Which Extended Rom should I use? There are more of them, so which one is for use with the Dutch Qtek 9100 Rom?
Thanks again!!!

If you ae comfortable doing this, could you perhaps make a backup of your t-mobile rom. I downgraded to the k-jams rom without doing a backup...silly me, anyway would be grateful if someone would pop a copy on the ftp here.

Jim
I also done exactly the same, i didn't have a miniSD card, an i was too eager to upgrade so i couldn't backup my rom.
Now i wanna go back to the T-Mobile rom but no one has one on the FTP. would you be able to upload yours?
It would be very much appreciated by a lot of people here.
Cheers
i dont mind creating a back up of my rom, if someone can point me to how i can do this.
i to want to get rid of the rubbish pink phone pad, it looks ugly
jay - are you using ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ or ftp://xda-developers.com/ ? it should work, unless your connection keeps dropping?
Need to refresh my memory on the back up procedure... get back to you on that later.
Regarding the pink key pad, a bit of registry hacking should sort that out
If you have a registry editor, follow the below, worked fine on Compact II but never got to test it on the vario before the downgrade
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin
Properties
Dword- Enabled
Value - 0 (default HTC skin - cool blue)
if you change the value to 1 it then displays the T-mobile's wonderful pink and grey pad.
Save the changes and they do a soft reset
Hope that helps

Yes, i've tried in the FTP site. But in there the roms are backed up from other devices and not directly from Qtek support. First, I would like know if there is problem or there are any diferrences between roms backed up from devices and the other from official support.
In the end, i'm asking if there is a link for official Qtek support where we can find the future rom updates.
There is a nice pdf guide on backing up your ROM here you need to do procedure 'r2sd all' as opposed to 'd2s' as suggested as that guide was for the magician.

Newest ROM?
Hi,
I own a T-Mobile MDA Vario, too. It is already flashed with a WWE-KJam-ROM. Now I want to know, if there is a possibility to flash a German ROM to it. Or if there is a newer version of the KJam.
My device informations:
ROM version : 1.1.9.3
ROM date : 9/16/05
Radio version : 01.01.10
Protocol version: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM version: 1.1.9.106

t mobile english version
hi to everyone
I have a mda vario with t mobile deutch and I'd like to know if it is possible to flash the rom into english t mobile rom or an other english rom. If possible could u gently explain me how to do?
many thanks
here are so many people with a German MDA Vario.
Isn´t it possible, that one of them reads out the original ROM and set´s it to the ftp so that others, that want a German ROM can flash this?
I am not a professional in this, so correct me if that is not possible...
Micha
As I understand "Also the Breeze Hardware shares most of the Parts with the Hermes" is it possible to convert it's WM 6 for Breeze?
(sorry for my bad English)
Probably it is, need to look into it. at first we need to crack spl to avoid nbh check
hi,
maybe hard spl v7 works...
i have experimented today... but i need my phone, because of that i finaly didn't click on the "flash now" button
Hermes is a PocketPC and Breeze is a Smartphone...
Both WM5 and WM6 have separate OS editions for PocketPC and Smartphone. If I were you, I wouldn't try to force "WM6 Professional" (Pocket PC) for Hermes on a Breeze (Smartphone - "WM6 Standard").
So, you need to decompress the xip segment and get a memory map of breeze. if memory addresses are the same as hermes, you need to replace a coredll.dll in second xip segment and you need to build imgfs using wm6 os from excalibur/vox and breeze wm5 drivers and applications. to load this into the phone, you need to avoid nbh check
how can we decompress the xip segment ???
what is exactly the coredll.dll ???
HI,
today i have played a little bit with bootloader...
task 32 says FF ... so its definitly not supercided... but i don't really know why a few other persons here can flash a dopod rom.. maybe they are all the same cid ??
also i'm searching for a usb sniffer ... have found a few in the web but all costs money and noone had give me understandable commands while using the romupdate tool from the actuell htc rom...
ok found some other interresting info..
the RUU_BREE100_1.34.251.1_1.38.00.10_HTCEUR_SHIP ROm has a QTEK_Z12 CID ....
but we all can update it to breeze device...
quite interesseting is also that:
Cmd>info 2
HTCSQTEK_Z12Û.oÂHTCE
... as we can see i my HTC Device has a QTEK_Z12 CID ... maybe someone can check what CIDS und the Breeze's out there...
Hi, could you explain how have the CID of the phone. Because i tried with info2 but it didn't work. Thanks. ++
----------------------------
just go in bootloader:
turn off device and restart it with hold cam button...
attach usb cabel the serial line on the 3color screen should change to usb...
also you have to deactivate the activesync usb connection...
then start the mtty app choose the usb connection...
then youll see the cmd> line... after this enter info 2 ... and you should become a output like mine...
------------------------
what ipl/spl version's are shown on the 3 color screen ??
i read that HTC announced S730 (wings)
it is like s710 but with MTeoR's hardware and WM6
I hope that it is possible use s730 ROM to take WM6 for MTeoR
So we need wait for s730 i think
I hope that i can see WM6 on my MTeoR :-[
concerning to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1257924&postcount=10
i say it a second time now...
we need the excalibur wm6 rom
why...
simply ... the excalibur has likley the same hardware as breeze !!!
all other devices are based on the hardware like wizard... (200mhz cpu etc.)
I'm just working on all the needs...
cookin with wm5 works!! i had cooked a German only version from the actuell rom! with a few tools on it...
also cooked an costumized bootscreen:
also there has to be somewhere in rom a "Shutdown" Screen.. i flashed the 2 Bootscreens and when shutting down the phone theres the old htc screen...
excalibur (s620) based on Tornado. So it have OMAP chipset, other radio w/o 3G etc.
at this time there is no MTeoR's based smartphones on the market as I know. Announcement only (Wings/Erato/"excalibur replace")
... damn ... what t.. f...
i searched a few days a ago and i had a website where the info was that excalibur is like the mteor...
....
ok so far i can see the next mteor hardware like phone should be the s730 (Wings)....
sorry that was my fault...
...
ok maybe i tought that excalibur was the right because this is the only one where i can find a wm6 rom for download... on all others there are no shipped roms available??
hmm
Hi,
ok just played a little bit with the excalibur rom...
the mainproblem is that i cant extract the files out of the nbh file...
because of that i can't modifiy a hermes rom...
i will look forward and hope to find an solution for it...
ok...
extraced excalibur rom...
cooked a bit...
but no working rom yet!!
also have flashed a wm6 hermes rom with a few files modified to breeze...
device didn't boot on bootscreens...
when flashing an unmodified excalibur rom, breeze directly goes to bootloader ....
next thing i want to try is to use the original 1,34.251.1 Rom ...
wow... I hope you manage to get a working WM6 rom for the MteoR...
Hi guys!

my IPL & SPL are 2.16
i unlocked the CID with no problems
but when i start the upgrading it till me : u need newer NPF file
plzzz help me i really wanna upgrade 2006 looks soo beautifull
thanks in advance
First -- which WM6 ROM are you having trouble installing??
If you'll read the Wizard Mobile 6 forums, just about all the threads will advise you to flash the T-Mobile 2.26 for a strong 2.26 base before flashing to a WM6 ROM.
ok first things first
here is my device full information
ROM version 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date 2/6/06
radio version 02.07.1
protocol version 413.1.03
extROM version 2.16.9.102
model No WIZA200
microsoft windows mobile version 5 OS 5.1.195 build 14847.2.0.0
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.07.10
anything u want to know more just ask
------------------------------------------
for ur Q i have tried to flash faria the real thing & the new pandora
im not sure of what u mean by t-mobile but tell me how i can flash to a stronger base as u said & i'll try
thnx for the replies
From your last post, it looks like you already have a IPL/SPL of 2.26. Your initial post reported it to be 2.16. It also appears that you have a G3 chip, so there shouldn't be any problems in flashing any of the WM6 ROMs.
Try maybe a different ROM. I'm using the X-Plore 1.1 by anchillus and have been using it on my 8125 longer than any other one I've tried. In fact, my Wizard is starting to feel neglected. . .
From all the information you've given, you should be good to go with ANY ROM.
will what supposed to be inst happening
inst there anyone else that can suggest other things
also can anyone explain what is this NBF file & where can i get a newer one as the update tool is asking
thanx newbie2 for ur replies
i ask the other pro members to help me too
ok new update regarding my situation
i tried x-plore 1.1 as what newbie2 advised & it accepted the update
after its done there was no change it was still 2005
but i noticed that the when it started up the 2006 flash screen was there
i know that when this happened it mean that i didnt unlock the device but i would say that i did twice & in both of them the wizard started on its own
is there a signal that can make me be more sure that it was unlocked
still waiting for advise ppl
thnx for this forum again for every thing they do for us members

Yes I know the answer you're.... this is always the case when you're.... I'm certain you're.... CID-Locked.
You can only succesfully CID-unlock you're device from buttons 1.x rom! Lokiwiz can tell you it unlocked succesfully, but it didn't! Make sure you're not confusing CID from SIM-unlock. Follow this tutorial:

im not but i tried the old unlock thread i didnt know it was updated
now i was able to uprade
thank u all
I remember seeing links for different version of radio Rom that someone posted after building the cooked rom. For the life of me I searched all over and can not seem to be able to find it. If anyone would be kind enough to link me.....Thanks
I think you meant this right?
Yes, Thank you. i cant believe with all the views and no one replied. What is wrong with the members these days.
Radio Rom Upgrade Details
hey paypalbid
I too downloaded the latest ROM (I believe from the Hermes site). Could you tell me the specific steps on how you went about upgrading just the Radio part. What utility did you use and did your phone need to have Olipro Hard-SPL prior to upgrading the Radio ROM
Thanks
V
To be on the safe side this is what i did
I did use the Olipro unlocker which were on this sticky thread, I did not use his later version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100
Then I use this program to just to make sure the SIM and IPL/SPL were unlocked completely
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347682
After that everything was good to go. Just hook your phone up to active syn and run. When it ask what IPL/SPL you have just pick 1.04 and let the process run on its own.
ROM upgrade
paypalbid
The links you send me was for Olipros Hard SPL and then something to check if the phone is unlocked
I have an unlocked phone already with an unbranded ROM. My question is to upgrade "Just" the Radio ROM what did you use. Was is it a Kaiser utility or was is it CustomRUU.
Please give me specific steps "Post" your unlock process and ROM upgrade to perhaps a branded or unbranded ROM.
Also to others reading this thread if you have an unlocked and unbranded ROM in your current TREO how to just upgrade the Radio ROM
To be specific I have V2.27 RWE ROM which put in 1.54.01.00 Radio and need to upgrade to either the AT&T 1.54.07.00 Radio or 1.54.30.10 Hermes Radio. Any links on the various Radio differences. This should be a sticky
V
i used the kaiser one. No radio is "the answer" it is all based on your carrier and where you at. Radio Rom is all about personal trial and error.
I cannot download from the ftp link...
Any other link?
you cam find them here:

well don't install 1.54.30.10.
