Hey guys,
I am a new comer in this forum. I have been trying to update my T-mobile MDA vario for quite sometime now. I have read almost all the guides and instructions in this site. But I don't know what problem I am having. I tried both TNT.1437.Wizard.Touch and TNT.1921_Wizard_TouchFLO roms. In both case the flashing got stuck at 99% and then showed an error 302. then I had to get back to my shipped 2.21 original rom and try again. I also tried XM6r3 rom. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Please can anybody help me!!! in the guide I was told to flash with 2.26 rom. But whenever I try it it shows invalid vendor id error. ???? What to do now. Is it impossible to upgrade to WM6 in T-Mobile MDA vario. (I CID unlocked my phone following the guide) Any help will be highly appreciated. thanks
MDA vario comes CID locked.. Unlock CID..search for WST... wizard service tool and unlock CID first.
irisiris is mostly right, if you get the invalid vendor id error then you're probably still CID lock. You said that you CID unlocked it already, but it might not have taken. The part he was wrong about though is that WST can't CID unlock your phone, you need lokiwiz to do that which I'm assuming you already knew. However, WST can tell you if you're CID unlocked or not. Just run it on your computer and click the CID actions button and it will tell you if you're CID unlocked or not for sure.
EDIT: Actually I was wrong, mestrini did add CID unlocking to the latest version of WST. Sorry irisiris.
you guys are right I finally CID unlocked my device. I checked it with WST and it said it is unlocked. Now I am in XDA mini rom with IPL/SPL 1.05. now I tried to flash with official tmobile 2.26 rom. but I still get the invalid vendor error. Now what to do????
In case you haven't solved your problem yet, download this file. If the T-Mobile 2.26 is still in the single executable type file that it was when you downloaded it, use either winzip or winrar to extract it to it's individual components then extract this file and allow it to replace the file it needs to replace in the folder you extracted the t-mobile ROM to. Then, just double click on the file to start the flash. Just in case, the name of the file you're going to double click on is named ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID. This should solve the invalid vendor error.

Hi, guys, has anyone tried to do the SIM unlock AND CID unlock with your prophet through http://www.imei-check.co.uk/?
Some guys from wizard forum did unlock from that website. And I just got confirmed by an email from http://www.imei-check.co.uk/, read as following,
------------------
Hello,
our service will remove SIM and CID lock from ANY device with ANY firmware and ANY chipset (G3 and G4). After unlocking you can use ANY SIM card and you can flash ANY compatible HTC standard firmware (2.xxxx in your case).
To unlock XDA Neo just follow the XDA Neo unlock link:
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m600unlock.php
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
---------------------
Since my device is a G4, and it is impossible to unlock it by any other free solutions. So, I am wondering if I should give it a try with this website?
Actually, I have no problem upgrading to other ROM (like the recent QTEK WWE) with no-vendor ID RUU. But every time when I wanted to try a new ROM, I was kind of nervous and was afriad to brick my phone. CID unlock will certainly ease my mind and give me advantages and brave to try more ROMs.
I am sure a free solution for this is on its way and won't take long.
I can use my prophet with different operators. This means that my pda' s sim is unlocked! How can i know that my pda's CID is unlocked?
If you have a G4 (ipl ending with .0001) then it's not unlocked. (sim lock is not cid lock as you probably already figured hehe )
If you have a G3 however it's probably not unlocked too, but you have check the wiki how to unlock it. Maybe there is some infor there too how to check if it's unlocked yes or no? Since I have a G4 I don't know that
Back on topic, I dunno if it's worth the money to CID unlock a phone there. It could be handy if you do a lot of upgrading and want to downgrade or anything.
But as said, people are already busy with a free solution to CID unlock a G4, cause if they can do it we should be able to get around it too
It writes IPL 2.09
SPL 2.09.0000
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.9.4.30
ıs it G4 or G3?

I guess you are right. But do you know if people are still working on G4 unlocking? It's been a long time. I thought they have given up already.
Well, I have absolutely no idea to be honest But I just assume they do since it's pretty important with all the rom upgrading going around.
It would be perfect if you upgrade with a not so good rom etc and I guess developers of homecooked roms would like it too.
Actually, I have no problem upgrading to other ROM (like the recent QTEK WWE) with no-vendor ID RUU.

Could you give some more info on how to do that or post a link? I have a G4 Prohphet and couldn't upgrade to QTEK WWE ROM. Thanks!

The protocol was proposed by Looking Glass, so, all the credits should go to him. I modified a little bit based on his procedure as following,
- Decompress and run the exe file (RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe). Don't close your grey installing window.
- Locate the just created temporary directory, something like:
C:\Documents and settings\username\local settings\temp\rarXX , or pftxx or the like (look by time/date, it's, something created one minute before your current time)
- Copy the full directory and contents to somewhere else in your PC.
- Close the still opened grey window
- get ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe from the forum, and copy to the directory you just moved to your pc (You can get it from the ftp). Copy the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to your "new" directory, replace the original ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
- from this "new" directory you copied in your PC, execute ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe
That's it. Simple and easy.
Hi there,
I have bricked my vox whilst flashing it using Jocky's USPL utility, the cable fell out and now all that the vox will do is boot up to the HTC splash screen and then hang.
I can get the phone to the bootloader screen but I can't flash a new ROM as it is previously a Vodafone branded v1415 so I get Invalid Vender ID no matter what ROM I use.
I guess I need the official VF UK one but I have searched the web for hours now and I am unable to source it.
Is it possible to get round the Invalid Vender ID in any way from the bootloader screen as I obviously can't boot it to be able to use the SDA unlocker.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bunter12345
I don't know where you can find vodafone rom for 1415 but you can try with this swiss rom for their XPA v1415 version of VOX.
Look here:

Guys have you tried removing the Operator ID from the nbh file before flashing it ?
You can use TyphoonNBFTools to do that.. If you remove the operator field completely you should be able to flash the rom you want with a locked SPL..
But there is just the problem that it is a NBH file and TyphoonNBFTools can only, as the name suggests, only open NBF file.. So you need to find some tool to convert a NBH file to NBF, remove the operator field, and convert back again, and flash..
Or what about flashing the new SPL while in Bootloader with a RUU? But be aware i do not know if that could brick your device forever..

and i cannot find the original rom that came with it
PLEASE HELP ME
how to i load a rom onto it when i havnt run SuperCID on it?
look for your OEM rom and reflash with it, then supercid and after that flash your phone with any wm6 tornado rom
Solution
Hi,
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388109
It's should be a solution for your problem.
Also, maybe in your searching, you've found a solution for my other Thread problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389065)? I just need to update rom via MiniSD and not via USB...
Thanks
Thanks for the help guys
but i am still having problems
i have downloaded MTTY and TyphoonNbfTool and editied the .nbf to my CID but now i either get a "Connection Error: 264" or a "Read error: 238"
what do i do?
what am i doing wrong?
i found my cid by using "info 2" in MTTY
used TyphoonNBF Tool to edit a ROM i download from the Imate site but thier was a link to a ROM in the guide you left me that didnt work :S will it make a diffrence if i do all this on a diffrent rom like i have been trying to do?
Thank you for all your help sharedworld & rafyvitto
p.s. rafyvitto: i cannot find the OEM for my O2 XDA IQ i dont think it has been provided by O2
Me Too
I've gone and done the same thing, but the problem is when I follow your instructions the .nbf file that is produced after the header has been changed is only 512 bytes! So the updater con't read it, what can I do?
tiny nbf
When I change the CID header using typhoonnbftools, the resulting file is only ever 1kb or smaller. What am I doing wrong?
Hi
I have a Tornado in o2 IQ guise, it is not CID unlocked. When I turn it on I get the o2 splash screen before it goes into bootloader. I tried hard rest but that didn't work so I tried flashing differnt rom, which is how I found that it was still CID locked.
I have tried the solution at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388109 to change .nbf header to match that of my phone but this doesn't seem to work Typhoonnbftools just spits out a 1kb .nbf file.
Bootloader reports:
IPL:2.00
SPL: 2.00.0011
Tornado 1U
USB is available and can communicate with the phone using TerraTermm Pro I have tried format BINFS but I'm told "not allowed operation". I really need an o2 UK rom to flash back but it isn't on their site. I looked on the xda-dev ftp but the rom on there is german and has different vendor ID.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
So I have followed the guides, two of them conflicting each other (one tells me Wizard Love while other says Button)
So I pick wizard love because I did the factory update a few years back to 2.25
use loki3
run tmobile 2.26 and it fails
run the 3.08 and it works
try to install TNT roms... all get stuck at 99% except one but the rom doesn't work because I am still on windows 5.1
Now on my third attempt it gets stuck at bootloader. Can't get the phone to turn back on to normal mode just to use it and forget about trying these roms
Any ideas?
Got button to work some how
Now I am at IPL 1.01 and SPL 3.08
Hopefully I can redo everything and get 6.1 to work
It tells me my CID/SIM but no where does anyone tell me where I need to insert this ID code at.
ID code? What do you mean by that?
I ment CID, it was telling me the CID like if I needed to enter some sort of menu and run it
Running t-mobile rom again, hopefully this works
You sure that it wasnt asking for a SIM unlock code? OR was it giving you a "data crashes" message?
Nope neither of those.
Anyways
Tmobile screen pops up now with 2.26/2.26
In regards to installing new roms, do I just launch ROMUpdateUtility or Do I need to do a CID unlock again?
Also saw there is 3.08/3.08 available, Update before or after upgrading the wm6.1 rom?
Well, lemme ask you this, what is your device? Is it a G3 or a G4, if G3, then sure, update your IPL/SPL after you upgrade. If it is a G4 however, FOR THE LOVE OF TUNA DO NOT upgrade your IPL/SPL or you will have a brick on your hands. And also, if you have used HardSPL, then no, you do not have to CID unlock your device again. Personally, I just use the SoftSPL method each time I load a ROM. If your device is a G4, I have made a guide in the G4 section that should help you. Its got screenshots and such aswell.
G3
Yay somehow it worked this time, 6.1 is nice
I did softspl
3.08 worth it?
If you device is G3 - FORGET HARDSPL
You mention that you have IPL 1.xx and SPL 3.xx
get WST - Wizard Service Tool and follow the instructions to cid unlock you device, unfortunately you cannot unlock your SIM with the SPl that you have for now
After that flash a carrier ROm to align your IPL/SPL to 2.xx
Ohh it now displays 2.26 on both IPL/SPL
From what I read, 3.08 is mainly for the european radio brand in terms of what the focus on it was for
<---AT&T
Hopefully this will be my last month with this company, figured I try some things out before I put the phone away or give it away to a friend.
Ok, you have a G3 device
Get WST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
Install in your PC (XP not Vista), check the situation about your CID and SIM
If you have CID unlock = SUpercid you can flash any ROm you want, if not you must downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx (Button Rom)
WST Unlock only works with IPL/SPL 1.xx
Note that SIM can only be unlocked with your SPL as 1.xx
go on run, type msconfig and open that, close all microsoft services and install,

DUDE! I'm your friend you can give it to me
Or you could use tmobile with that phone (or any other company that uses sim chips for service) .
Once you have it completely unlocked (cid/sim) you can take it traveling to other countries and use their prepaid sim cards... This is an open phone. dont get rid of it.
on second thought, I will buy it from you if you dont see a reason why you would keep it. I could use a backup to test my cooking on PM me
HAHAHAHA

Losing Mind (again)
OK, here we go.
First off, I am in no way new to Flashing or the logistics behind it. I am sure this is just something that I cant find by searching. But my problem is this.
I have a G3 TMOBILE USA MDA (Wizard). I have used the lokiwiz2 unlock software several times and according to the program I am SUPERCID unlocked. I am able to flash ROMS all day long. I get no error about loading. What is happening is that I almost always end up with the same default ROM after the FLASH is completed. I am now sitting with the Button ROM on the unit. I assume if the Button ROM loads, then I should be CID Unlocked otr it would not load (or is this my mistake in thinking?)
As my MDA sits now, I have the Beer Mug Displayed, IPL 1.05
SPL 2.26 GSM 01.12.10 OS 1.5.4.2
Now, if I go and try to Flash to one of the Two ROMS I want to go to
TMOUS_MDA_5.2.1629_Wing_Port_1.1 (Boring ROM) or I try with SNN 3.1 it will run the procedure perfectly, and I will end up with a Barebones version of Windows Mobile 5.0. This is wild.
Has anyone seen this happen and is laughing and going "Been there, here is the problem,,) or do I need to discuss this in more detail.
Im wondering if the ROM Upgrade Software is grabbing a ROM from elsewhere on my Hard Drive and is installing it from cache or something like that. Is there another version of the OS Upgrader that allows me to tell it exactly what ROM I want installed, instead of just installing whatever it wants.
Thanks for the help, after two days of searching and looking around, I can deal with amteur hour emabreesment, just HELP!!
My xv6800 and my 8125 was a breeze compared to this nitemare. (BTW, I also flashed this 2 years ago with the TMOBILE USA Official Release, no issue)
wyreless
Well,these are symptoms of CID not unlocked.Button's Rom flashed doesn't mean its CID unlocked,its a patched IPL/SPL rom simply to downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx for CID unlocking.
Simply,download WST_4.2.2 and run it to verify the CID lock/unlock status of the phone and do the right thing onwards.
Thank You Zabardast for the quick and to the point answer.
I was thinking in the back of my head it was a CID issue. It was just that everything seemed to be "moving right along". I sthere an easier or better Unlocking soiftware then lokwhiz for the Wizard Series, specifically my USA Tmobile MDA?
Well,if you have Button's Rom running successfully,so its IPL/SPL must be 1.xx already,there shudn't be any problem to use lokiwiz02b to CID unlock the phone,you can even use WST_4.2.2 tool also to easily CID unlock the phone.
There's no other method known to get CID unlocked a wizard freely,unless you are ready to pay to IMEI company to get a unlock code
hey alll..ok i screwed up
i downloaded Charecters ROM..i used WST and it showed that my device is G3 and its CID locked..well i just started the Flashing and it stuck at 99%
now it wont load any ROM and just as i came from school..its not evening starting..its not evening charging..please help any one
