Debranding the Kaiser?

Hi guys,
I've just received my T mobile branded Kaiser. It's called the Vario 3.
As i am not looking to use the device with tmobile. Is it possible to debrand this device? If so, please explain how. My assumtption is that i'll need to upload a generic rom to the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Please read the forum first, before you post a question...
Especially the sticky threads...
To be short:
We know it's called the Vario 3 / Vario III
...
You can probably unbrand the outside by rubbing some sugar against the logo's (I don't take any responsability for this, but it's known to be working on a T-Mobile MDA Vario I).
Th 'inside' is also known as the ROM an can't be unbranded yet...
Just wait untill we are able to CID-unlock it, so you can flash the ROM with an unbranded one...
For now you can hard-reset (format) it and jst after the screen alignment when it's counting down for customization soft-reset it by pushing your stylus up the little hole in the bottom of your device...
Good luck...
Oh, and...
Welcome to the Kaiser forum

Hi,
Sorry for not reading the sticky stuff, i'm just not that familiar with the technical terms for these devices so i thought me asking 'again' novice-style may be cool. Thanks for your help on this mate.

No problem...
I started out this way too, so...
I can tell you it's really worth it to dive in to this forum...
You can learn a lot if you check the threads once in a while...
Be carefull with advanced adjustments to your device, especially when you haven't got the right ROM for backup...
On the other hand, don't be scared to try out some stuff, because it's very hard to brick a device...
BTW:
Bricking means you screw up youre device so terribly (beyond repair) that it's turned in to a brick / expensive paperweight...

Just tried putting in my vodaphone sim into the Vario 3 and it says SIM LOCK code needed....Any advice where to get one from apart from t mobile?

Sorry...
I guess you'll have to wait...
pof is working on a CID-unlocker and probalby on a way to SIM-unlock it too...
I heard it's a difficult procedure, because the way it's simlocked is 'new'...
Maybe you can try www.imei-check.co.uk...
It's a paid service...
Decide for yourself if you're willing to pay, or have the patience to wait for a free solution...
I'm definatley sticking with the last one...

what phone

OK im very new at this and i was wandering if you guys can give me a hand
im with verizion and im looking for a new phone i have never had a pda or ppc and im looking for a very customizable one i was looking at the vx6800 and the i760 but like i said i got no idea. il look at any phone i can use on verizon
oh anyone know anythang about the verizon glyde?

well no answers?

HA! The XV6800 is from HTC, and this forum is mainly based on HTC PDA's so you'll find more topics and customiztions for it. But the biggest thing to remember is, your gonna spend a nice chunk of change for it, so make sure you pay for the one that suites you best. Go to the store and mess with them a bit.

MDA Compact IV question.

Hello. Im new here and i dont know if im posting to right section
Anyway.. I just bought the MDA Compact IV phone from t-mobile. But i dont like the "pink" theme and software there. Is there any way to change it to HTC Touch Diamond software? I souhld also say that im completely "new" in doin these things so im afraid ill need a step-by-step manual. Thank you for some help. Ill really appreciate that. varac.

My god, I hadn't ever seen what T-mobile did to the diamond. That pink crap has to go.
You should be surfing around in the Touch section. They have what you need there. There is even a sticky thread that is a tutorial on ROM flashing (which is one option you can use to get that pink crap off your device).
Be sure to READ A LOT before flashing anything. It can be dangerous and addictive.

Help woth HTC Mogul

Hi,
I am completely new to all this so forgive me if I don't make much sense... I have a HTC Mogul that was flashed to cricket... It worked fine and one day it froze... I had to hard reset and it works again, however the MMS picture messaging and internet does not... I was told by a friend to flash with a rom again and will work but I dont know where to get the software and what to do.. Can anyone help me please?

well, the first thing i suggest you do is read read read! there are some great guides here and on ppcgeeks.com. it's a little intimidating at first, but once you start and learn the lingo, it's really not that bad. To get you startrd, most people here refure to your phone as the Titan. for some unknown reason Sprint decided to rename it the Mogul. It's also called the 6800. Sprint, Verizon, and the other smaller CDMA carriers all carried the same phone. good luck

This belongs in the Q&A section
thank you

[Q] I need help so I dont brick my phone!

I just got an HTC HD 2 today from a friend, and it already has a version of android on it. I dont know how to replace the android files without messing up the phone. Can someone help or walk me through this?

i know this aint help but have u tried the hd2 section

also is your name from coheed and cambria lol!

I have looked through the section and I cant find anything on how to replace the files. Yes it is. The greatest band ever!

sry i dont know anything about the hd2 and yes sir you are correct i just saw them in dallas for the neverender tour 4 hours of nothing but coheed it was amazing my 3rd show i may add new orleans, little rock, and dallas!

you shld be able to ask the same question in that thread im sure someone will be able to help

If your friend was so generous to give you that nice piece of hardware I´m sure he can guide you to replace the Android OS with that Microsoft crap. Your friend has invested some time and energy in the modification of his phone so he would be interested in having you enjoying it, too, wouldn´t he?

To be able to help it would be useful to know if android rom is nand (ie has replaced the original wm6.5 os) or is running from sd card.
When you boot up the phone, does magldr load?
I would suggest you do go over to the hd2 forum and look at the sticky threads, tey have all the info you will need to change/update android to something newer or even change os completely to say wp7?
If your droid is nand, it is very simple to update, just head over to the HD2 nand forum
Cheers.

Thank you everybody for being kind and not throwing noob slanders at me. The friend who gave me the phone actually bought it off of someone who put android on it haha so this nice phone is a hand-me-down for sure.
