Ive been reading this message board for a couple days now and have read the stickys on how to install WM6 on my wizard. I have successfully unlocked and installed Faria's WM6 ROM. This is a G3 phone.
What I would like to know is if I should update my Radio or not. The current version it has installed is 2.25.11. My service provider is T-Mobile US. If I should update my radio could someone point me in the right direction for the correct Radio update for an HTC Wizard with T mobile US as the service provider.
*Edit* Title should read T-mobile MDA Radio update.
the radio version 2.69.11 reported as overall stable and minized battery drain. Can ben found here. Do not flash it with the 3.08 radio, your mda is probably G4 (dunno for sure) and this radio is only for G3 and you will brick your device.

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)

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.
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.
Hey, I am the new owner of a Qtek 9100 purchased from ebay. This is an actual Qtek device, not a branded T-mobile, or Cingular version. This 9100 should be completely unlocked correct? It was advertised as such on ebay. Is there any way to verify its lock/unlock status?
I have been reading about firmware upgrading and beleve my 9100 is a G4 device. My version info at bootup is as follows
IPL: 2.17.0001
SPL: 2.17.0001
GSM: 02.02.10
OS: 2.17.7.2
I know the IPL/SPL are bootloaders. Since this should be an unlocked device do i still have the same G4 IPL/SPL concerns with flashing the firmware that i have been reading about in various threads. Can you point me to some threads with more info about the IPL/SPL? When i do a search for these terms, nothing comes up.
From what i gather the AKU has something to do with the version of the OS. What diffrent AKU versions are available, is there a table or list somewhere with the differences betwen versions? As with trying to search for IPL SPL info, searching for AKU turns up nothing.
Thanks,
Doug
Doug - I did and have exactly the same as you..... Bought a QTEK 9100 on eBay. Mine arrived with 1.x IPL/SPL/ROM (I can't remember specifically which version it was). I quickly updated this using the official update that is linked via the expansys.co.uk website to the same version you are running (2.17 WWE).
After a day or so I found the xda-developers forum and downloaded some of the 'cooked' ROMs that take it to the current 2.26 version. I however had a problem installing the RISidoro ROM and I assumed my QTEK 9100 was completely unlocked - it wasn't. It was Network Unlocked but not CID unlocked; I couldn't install the RISidoro ROM until I CID unlocked it using the Lokiwiz tool. I could install the MRClean 2.24 ROM but not RISidoro's 2.26.
Have a read through the RISodoro ROM thread for info on how to CID unlock you 9100 - it seems G3 versions are easy to CID unlock but not G4 versions, I was lucky enough to have a G3.

I am still trying to understand the AKU 2.3 & 3.2 thing but I think this is a Windows Mobile version thing. Hopefully someone will post specific details of what the AKU is......

OK, I read through that thread, and didn't really give a good answer to CID unlocking a G4. I keep seeing people talking about unlocking the G4. I saw a few posts with people confirming the steps to unlock a G4 but they never got any kind of response if they were right. That thread almost seems like a mess of suggestions for both G3 and G4 and you can easilly get lost not knowing if someone is talking about a G3 or G4 in their response.
Is there any kind of utility that can be run on the PC with the 9100 connected to verify the CID lock status, or a utility to run on the 9100 itself?
If i am CID locked. Are there any EXACT step by step directions for unlocking the G4. I dont want to brick it.
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.
