Windows Mobile 6 on CID-locked Wizard

Hey everybody,
First I want to apologize for my incredible bad English. Nevertheless I think you all will get the message.
I have a question about installing a Crossbow ROM on a Dutch CID-Locked T-mobile MDA Vario. I have been reading a lot on this forum to do so, but till now I didn't manage to install it. I have read the 'little tutorial', but to keep my warranty I do not want to CID-unlock.
On this forum I also read about a guy who managed to install ROM's on a CID-locked MDA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043
But, it he says that it is for 2.x OS. Is it also possible to do this for a Windows Mobile 6 ROM?
I also tried to modify the nk.nbf ROM with TyphoonNbfTool, but as soon as I save this file it is only 1 KB? Hopefully somebody has a simple solution for this n00b.
Thanks in advance, Bart

Thanks Proland, for your quick reply. I have read this tutorial before I, but as I mentioned in my question, I rather not CID-unloch my device, since my warranty will be gone. I was just checking whether there is a more simple and safe way to install crossbow. But nevertheless, thanks again for your quick reply!

i used this on my cidlocked g4

WOW, Proland, your the best. This is EXACTLY what I mean. It's a pity I can't download this 'Shelltool'. The links seem to be dead. If you could send this program to me I would be very gratefull. Hopefully you still got this file or know a working link. In case you still have it, my e-mail is [email protected]
Thanks in advance, Bart

I managed to install WM 6! Thanks again!

Latest rom for SDA?

what is the latest rom for teh sda/tornado/etc... my wm6 does not work too well and would want wm5 that is stable fast and can do anything... no need for mods to make it work right...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TO4V7A0O

Thanks for this! I need to downgrade back to WM5 as well

That's too bad WM6 doesn't work well. I've been tempted to upgrade my SDA, I guess I'd better not.

I disagree -- WM6 does work well on the SDA. Using "Karhoe's Step-by-step pictorial guide to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6" referenced in this thread, I was very successful upgrading my SDA from WM5 to WM6. I've got everything I've tried so far working so I'm a happy camper!!!

I agree, I also have an SDA, and while I've had to play around with a few things to get it just right, I'm in a nice happy place. If you want a rom that's got most of the knicks worked out, try the Perfect English Edition Rom here.

Hi there,
I downloaded the file, but bevor I update my german SDA (with WM2003se) I want to ask if I can switch the language to german? Is this possible, and is this version (I downloaded) with Windows Mobile 5 ?
Tahnks for answers!

don't ever bother to upgrade because your device is a typhoon/feeler/amadeus variant which is running wm2003se. this ROM is for tornado variants only which is running wm5. however you can still upgrade it to wm5 or wm6. read here.

Thanks, but if read over 12 pages in this forum, but there are no instructions how to upgrade to wm5 could you send me a link (PM) ?
Thanks

Perhaps most things work well, but there is a post by Karhoe about WiFi not working. I use WiFi more than anything else. I can tolerate some bugs, but any that causes problems with WiFi will probably cause me a lot of grief.
I will probably try WM6 soon anyway. Grief or not, I can't help but upgrade to the newest version of everything even if it causes more problems than it solves.

Yes the fastest one way to figure this out again is to read the stickies labeled unlocking and UPGRADING. That is usually pretty helpful.

help wanted

Which is your device, a G3 or G4,how come we can tell,untill and unless you do not post the vital data of your phone,no one can suggest you any help without knowing the version of your phone.always post the data.
Well 'trustworthy post on how to upload WM6 on my MDA?',why ?,do you think what all is posted here in this Forum is not Trustworthy.
Very rightly said by moseslin 'Read The Stickies',you'll find all the answers here, just "Help Yourself"

which DOC chip version you got,a G3 or G4 ? to verify post your IPL/SPL...? or download the WST Tool,install and run it and post the report to determine if it's a G3 or G4 device.You can download the WST tool here :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
If it's a G3,it's required to first CID unlock the device and than upgrade to wm6.
How to CID unlock,check this guide here :-

But if a G4,read here how to upgrade :-

O2 Mini Xda S WM6??

Hi there, ive looked through all the different forums and am confused! (newbie type confused :S). I have an ) O2 Mini Xda S and it is currently running WM5. If anyone can help, please can i request two ROM file downloads.
1. The original ROM file that is currently on the phone incase i flash and do not like and
2. A WM6 ROM upgrade file and if possible WM6 proffesonal.
I would really like WM6 proffesional but WM6 (the origianl one) would be brilliant. It boots up on G4 (2.xx.000x) and this is what im most confused about, wheter the upgrade is for G3 or G4. please someone help!!! Also ive heard the faria upgrade is good but not sure whether to go down that route or not.
Thanks very much in advance.

1. get the original ROM from your carrier. for instance, you can download the TMO version from their website.
2. read stickies before posting and follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
3. pick any of the many WM6 roms here and flash.
4. since you have a G4, make sure you read the part about G4 flashing in the above thread.

thanks for that, i have had a look on O2's site but they do not have any original ROMs or anything at all for my mini xda. I dont know why because its a popular phone as far as i am aware :S
any other places i can get it from? cheers

good read for a wm6 rom

Newb HELP! wm6.1 on kaiser

I currently have 6.0 on my kaiser. I would like to update it to 6.1 and unlock it. I'm getting very confused by everything I read and can't find most things. Any help would be awesome... start from the very begining....
Thanks!
rockermaxx

Check out the Kaiser wiki..best place to start. In short, you have to install hardspl (again, in the wiki) and then run the ROM of your choice.
