Hi,
I checked this forum for mails how to update my MDA vario. I did some things like unlock CID. It was already SIM unlocked.
I was able to download a ROM upgrade (doesn't matter which one). After going thru the screens and let my MDA vario restarted. But after restarting it has still the Microsoft Windows Mobile version 5.0.
I have no idea what I have to do more.
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 2.21
This can be closed. I found a tool and can now update the rom

well i CID unlocked using aWizard, and i SIM unlocked using Lokiwiz (all this is on these forums) and then i decided to flash my spv m600 to the latest arabic i-mate jamin rom.
it all went well and works fine, only problem is the arabizer suite, it installs but doesnt run, error message displayed is: cannot run on this device.
its kinda strange coz iv always used imaginet arabizer suite on any device, and not one that was originally an i-mate.
any help on this is much appreciated.
p.s. i thought id post this in upgrading as it is related
How can I tell if my phone is cid-locked, I would really like to change the ROM without the risk of bricking it. Has anyone one tried lokiwiz to cidunlock their phone? any advice would be appreciated. BTW I bought the phone from gray market in Hong Kong and is Vodafone branded, do you think it would be locked?
It came preloaded with Dopod Rom, but I don't like it that much. Also what is the best radio rom, the dopod radio rom is a bit weak.
IPL 2.15.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
Rom vs: 2.15.13.27 WWE
Radio: 02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
Ext ROM: 2.15.13.21
Thanks

you are on G4, so yes you are still CID locked.
Normally when you flash your rom you will know imediately when it try to update.

so should I try to flash a rom and see what happens? if it goes through without an error it is cid unlocked? if an error pops up it is locked? Should I try this or should I avoid the risks? Any ROM suggestions? Qtek maybe?
Since your phone is G4 chip, i'm pretty sure you are CID locked. Dont worry about the CID locking for now, GOOD ROMS outthere been using different programs to get around CID locking problem. I suggest you can start with PDAMobiz rom from the other thread. REMEMBER USE G4 program not G3 or other programs. or look for any rom that has NoVender CID in the name.
MDA VARIO II with Dopod WM6
I recently bought Tmobile MDA Vario ii with Dopod Wm6. When it boots it shows dopod sign so I think it is dopod. The ROM is 3.54.707.3.
I want to upgrade to Wm6.1 but Tmobile has only official 3.60.xx rom presently available for download. Can I directly flash any Hermis compatible ROM on MDA Vario II.?
Since it has Dopod WM6 the CID lock must have been diabled I suppose. Am I right? and should I directly flash any HERMIS official or extended ROM? what are your suggestions Thanks

I don't know enough about the Hermes and flashing to be certain, but I think you'll need to HardSPL (which bypasses bootloader CID checks) before flashing a ROM.
Take a look at the Hermes sub fora before doing anything though...
i'm trying to upgrade a second hand bought qtek s100 (presumably a magician). i hoped it would be a piece of cake, being a qtek device (thus sim and cid lock free). the simlock part is correct, any sim will work. but the cid lock free part does not hold. i tried several rom upgrades from the shipped rom section on the xda server:
nl113 rom (i think this is the tmobile rom)
the uk wwe 112 rom
the wwe 112 rom
the wwe 113 rom
and so on.
i also tried the xda unlock tool, hoping that i made a mistake and that something was still locked. after running it, it told me that unlocking worked (but it was already simunlocked to begin with). but still afterwards, running any of the above roms still didn't work. still country error.
with all the roms i get an country 112 error. even with the original qtek roms? i tried both the uk and wwe rom (not quite sure if this is a native dutch s100 or an expansys (uk) s100). did not matter, both didn't work. never had so much problems with my mda vario.
current rom is radio version 1.05.00
protocol version 1337.39
rom version 1.06.00wwe
extromversion 1.06.154wwe
maybe someone can shed some light why my qtek s100 does not take any of the shipped qtek wwe roms?
many thanks for reading my thread (and hoping for your suggestions)
solved it. just needed to run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. then it stated the current rom and so on, after which it gave an country error while putting it into bootloader menu. then i ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again while the qtek was still in bootloader menu, now the summary sheet stated blank at the rom version and so on. now it was able to upgrade correctly. for those like me who have the same problem, just run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe twice and immediately after the first attempt!
Hi all I'm still newbie in this forum.
I have a MDA Vario T-Mobile I bought it from my friend (2nd hand), now its used a iMate ROM. I don't know which ROM that he used to upgrade the PDA.
I want to ask can I upgrade my MDA to WM6? When I resest my MDA it displayed:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.06
GSM 01.01.10
OS 1.1.9.3
What should I prepared to upgrade my MDA to WM6? Thanks before.
Regards
Dari mana?
From the looks of your IPL and SPL, seems to be a G3... so not a problem...
from wiki
A G3 Wizard will have the following
IPL: 1.xx or 2.xx or 2.xx.00x (Note that this version only has TWO 0's.).
SPL: 1.xx or 2.xx or 2.xx.00x (Note that this version only has TWO 0's.)
A G4 Wizard will have the following
IPL: 2.xx.000x (Note that this version has THREE 0's.)
SPL: 2.xx.000x (Note that this version has THREE 0's.)

So what (file) should I prepared to upgarde my ROM to WM6?
Oh I forget I have another problem. Why my MDA when sync with my PC sometimes disconnect by itself, now it's more worst I can't sync my MDA to my PC. I used Active Sync 4.0 Windows 2000 SP4.
HELP....SOS....
macam ni, susah sikit.. (dari Malaysia)
I don't know but after reading so many brick units, maybe it is better you do a hard reset and see if it solves your Active Sync connection problems before attempting an upgrade..
My MDA now can connect.
@new2city
If I want to upgrade to WM6 what should I prepared? How I can know my MDA wa CID unlocked? I read on Faria WM6 thread we must have 2xxx bootloader version. I don't know how we can know our bootloader version? And the last question I want to know how to hard reset my MDA?
Thanks

you have to upgrade using that 2.26 rom!!! If you dont BEWARE the Devil will come for you
Ya you have to or you could just brick your phone! You have to have IPL/SPL above 2.00. The rom 2.26 as above will give you IPL/SPL 2.26.
And before you try to flash make sure you have read all you can, cus it does not always go right first time and you need to know what to do if you have a problem.
If you start flashing and it reset. Dont think it is dead try below
Hold the button voice button and press the reset button, when it sorts its self out you should have a screen with 3 colors. Connect your USB and flash away but use a non cooked rom. Flash T-mobile 2.26 again
I once had to re-flash my phone 6 times before I was happy! Then found out that i could have sored the problem by using a reg key!! LOL oh well!
I have already SPL 1.06 and IPL 1.01 can I directly unlock my MDA using lokiwiz? No need to downgrade to button ROM.
Thanks to the answer this forum rocks....

If you are still on IPL/SPL 1.XX
you should be able to unlock it with the lokiwiz software.
enjoy
Thanks guys now I'm on Faria ROM real thing but I'm still confused about my MDA why everytime I want to sync I must replace the USB cable more than two times to get syncronize with my PC. Some times it disconnect by it self, than I must reconnect again. Anyone know what happen to my MDA?
Hi, I've been to the wiki page and downloaded the cid unlocker, T-Mobile rom, Lokiwiz and the Hornet 6.1 rom. I actually wanted a touch flo rom but every link seems to be dead. My ipl and spl are both 2.16.0001 so I have a G4. I have recently changed providers (I'm in New Zealand) so I take it my phone must be unlocked?
My problem is I'm using Windows 7 and so the windows mobile centre but when I use the "custom-ruu-wizard-1050412" program. I get part way through the installation and windows tells me the program has stopped working and recommends I close the program or check online and when I check online it just shuts down...help!!!
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers Matt
