Sorry (I'm a nOOb) but could someone please clarify something for me...
My last phone was an Orange SPV C600, which I have always been under the impression was the HTC Tornado. In comfirmation, according to the main screen link to this forum the SPV C600 is indeed another name for the Tornado.
However, the picture for the link doesn't match my phone, and according to Wikipedia the SPV C600 was actually the Faraday (Eh?): Orange SPV
BUT sometimes when I switch my phone on I get a multicoloured screen which seems to exactly match that in the link from the step by step upgrade to WM6 thread (including "Tornado"): Kar Hoe's Blog
I know Dopod is owned (or whatever) by HTC, is this just different branding of the same phone and both names are regional?
Have I got something based on the Tornado but is actually a Faraday?
Is the Faraday something totally different and Wikipedia is incorrect?
It's not really important but I'd like to know!

nop the faraday is the same as any other tornado htc phone the faraday name it just a code name for the phone it self
Actually, I believe the Faraday is basically a Tornado without Wi-Fi, and both use Tornado ROMs.
Can anyone confirm I deffo have a Faraday
It deffo doesn't have wifi
SPV C600 = HTC Faraday = HTC Tornado minus WIFI hardware
yep, and the wm6 roms run just perfect on the c600!

for ages i thought the t-mobile mda compact ii pm200 charcol grey was a magician but certain things have started me to belive otherwise.
aparently magician can't have wm5 - i do
none of ulocking things work
some aplications don' work and some descriptions seem inacurate
so what is it that i am using
From what I have learned it's not a Magician, but a Charmer.
Read up on it in the wiki here
Hi everyone,
I have been trying to unlock my phone (app and SIM ) as well as looking up other cool things to do with my phone (isn't it what this forum is about? )
Well here comes my problem: I can't figure out which phone I have.
Some people talked about SDA 11, like this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38859&highlight=unlock
and when I followed the link there (http://www.modaco.com/T_Mobile_SDA_app_and_sim_unlock_solution_is_here_-t230715.html)
they talked about a Typhoon or Orange SPV C500 in that link,
and that really puzzled me since I do'nt want to do anything wrong and fry my phone. .
And then there's this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47927&highlight=sda
and then the SDA 2, which I have no idea whether it applies to me, since there's no SDA 2 on the T-mobile website:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...57f&WT.srch=2&Result_Inq=answer&InqSource=TMO
and then this one post to turn off GPRS for the Tornado
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40878&highlight=
well it doesn't work for me, so .....
So, which one do I have ?
Orange SPV C500 or SDA or SDA 2 or Hurricane or Tornado? or Qtek... or Xda... ?
Maybe it would be helpful for newbies like me to have a post that classify all the phones that are out there and there variations in brand / model / name / version / series / country.......
Thanks!
Your post is a bit unclear to me. Although I have been known to be a bad reader in the past, I could not find the specs for your phone... So, what is the brand and model of your phone? Do you have a Qtek, I-Mate, T-Mobile? What is the model nr or name on the box? SDA, C500, 8300? Without this information we cannot help you.
Bascially the Tornado and Hurricane are the HTC (the manufacturer) code names, the carriers and brands like Qtek, I-Mate, Orange and T-Mobile give them their own name and model nr, although the hardware is the same. So if you provide your brand name and model name/nr, we can help you better.

You mean like this from the wiki :roll:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_PhoneModels
Sounds like you looked everywhere else
To find out what you have look at the model number in Settings->System->Device Information->Identity and compare it with the oemid in the table.

Anyhow Thanks kevino!

Thanks anyhow koksie, but I sort of figured it our from the HTC_phone_models chart!
lolz.. we should put that chart on top of the whole website..!
it's not in the forum so search will not help
it's on the normal site
which you have to click on the Wiki.xda-developers.com link in the left upper corner to access
A guy from UK who claims to be official "Orange phone trainer" (Orange is a mobile operator in UK) claims that Orange Academy both Microsoft trainer and Orange employees were claiming that ROM upgrade for Orange SPV M500 Pocket PC phone (also for C550 smartphone) is coming.
If this would happen, then also users of other HTC Magician phones (like i-mate JAM, T-Mobile MDA Compact, Vodafone VPA Compact, Qtek S100, etc):
... would also be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0!
as posted under the smartphone main section, I was at the Orange Academy today. Good news to come from the event is that Microsoft and Orange are currently busy preparing a WM5 upgrade for both the C550 and the M500!
We were obviously told not to tell the general public, as they want us to push the C600 and the M5000, but for existing owners, this is fantastic news
I own an M500 and he was blatantly waving one around in front of my eyes saying "Both these devices will have WM5 on them in the coming months..."
So god knows.. he did seem to know what he was talking about tho, being a MS Trainer and all.
Hersh...
thats great news, and no rumors like that ever appeared in these foruns... now I will finally be able to choose between WM5 and my pre-installed vista OS with a ps3 emu on my s110!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Im not saying it is or not possible just F***ING STOP POSTING ABOUT IT, RELEASE IT OR SAY NOTHING!
Even fakes are more welcome than those crappy posts "it is possible, one day it will work", "i think i have, oh wait, nop. i really dont understand english (wait, how did i manage to register here?)", "they relased it for my ipod, why not for magician?", "we can do it, if we just talk about it ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!"
When it comes out, if ever, IT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE POST!
In the meantime, if you really want WM5 or 6 or 7, go buy an expensive phone with half the mhz and more RAM that WM5 doesnt let you use, just because it has that damm gps you really have much use for and its not to show-off all your friends.
Rumour!!!!!!!!!
I believe this rumour came out about a year ago from another forum, and still nothing. i will see it when i believe it.
Don't think it's going to happen. The only way that this device will get WM5 is if someone cooks a successful rom.
Unfortunately, it's just another rumour ... read original post here:
http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-Magician-Magician-MoDaCo-com/229837/M500-Getting-Wm5-In-Near-Future/

im pretty sure that this is an MDA Compact II or the HTC Charmer and not a magician, because i find it illogical that a telco will still produce a rom upgrade for a very old device which no retailer is selling anymore, and while i still entertain the thought that it may be an unofficial WM5 Rom, still, i would doubt it. Such a rom would have been posted already here.
rumour rumour rumour.....its all fake people !
What a pity!
All the best and beautiful new programs are coming out only for WM5 amd WM6!
It is better to hear no information instead of misinformation. There will never be WM5 on magician .
Come on now, I have been reading WM5 posts for Magician from a year. Fed up now. Magician is a very old device. Dont think there will be a WM5 for it. Even WM6 is released long back. So if Magician had to have a WM5, it would have come out long back.
Why dont you guys try to load Google's Android on Magician. Would be much better

Hi, I've got a sda2 coming (which i think is a tornado). This is my first smartphone as opposed to pda touchscreen phone (replacing spv m700 / trinity). Anyway, I know what my favorite/essential software for the trinity is but not sure about what will be worth installing on the sda. Has anyone got any recommendations for essential software / tweaks? Also while I'm here and before I use the search function ( for which I might get a slap wrist), what car mount / cradle do you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance
Pete
T-Mobile SDA II is an HTC Hurricane (such as Qtek 8200, i-Mate SP4m, Dopod 566 and 586, O2 XDA Phone and Orange SPV C550). Please post to the appropriate forum category.
Thanks for putting me straight. Will post my question in the hurricane section, at least I know now which model the sda2 is.
Thanks again
Hey guys does know one knows where i can find Qtek 9100 WM6?
i posted more than one Post and didnt get answer
Please
I guess you just have to open your eyes abd READ! It's here everywhere, and even 6.1 popped up a few weeks ago...
i didnt find any
Can you please direct me to the one i want
i did looked and i am nob with PDA
from the XDA Wiki page - the HTC Wizard is sold under the following names...
Sold as HTC P4300
Qtek 9100
Qtek A9100
I-mate K-JAM
T-Mobile MDA Vario
T-Mobile MDA (US)
O2 XDA Mini S
Orange SPV M3000
Cingular 8125
Dopod 838
VPA compact II
So, if your phone ( Qtek 9100 ) is in the list above - then the roms here will work.
So long as you have completed the unlocking process - ensuring you are aware of your phones details ( G3 or G4 model ) etc.
There are some sticky posts at the top of the site that explain in great detail everything required to proceed.
Read them carefully, it is your phone - and your responsibility if anything goes wrong.
Good luck
where is de WM 6 ?
ok, Qtek 9100 is a HTC manufactured phone called 'Wizard' supplied to many vendors/cellular networks all over the world,they sell these phones with their own brands,models and OS,like Qtek,T-mobile,Htc,cingular,i-mate....etc,etc.But the basic device and features are the same and use the same Windows Mobile interface and Rom.
Therefore,all the Roms build for wizards are meant for every brand/model of a 'Wizard' device.Got my point ?
Well,if you are looking for official Qtek 9100 wm6 Rom,then better look in the official website of the carrier of your phone.
All wm6 or wm6.1 roms here are for every brand/model of a wizard.You'll find many excellent wm6 and wm6.1 custom build roms here from many cookers e.g TNT series,Xda Mobile 6,NBD,Jaguar etc etc,they all are cooked for Wizard phones,ok
Cheers!
is the WM6 in Qtek website are free?
is there is any good WM 6 for my device lets me know please
i wanna download and update my device
Frankly, if your phone is fine at the moment and you're such a noob, then I suggest not to upgrade!
WM6 was never officially released for the Wizard, so don't look at the Qtek site, all you'll find is WM5 Roms.
As for a WM6.1 Rom, check either the last one by its right (TNT) or that by Merlin (Slim).
But please READ the Wiki before all!

I can understand that you don't speak the language but I don't understand why you don't read the sticky posts.
I suggest you to leave your device alone before you brick it.
I'll close this thread and don't bother starting a new one.
Read the following sticky if you still want to go through with this : How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!
Notice: "Wizard" is your device name(just like the people before me tried to tell you)
