I have the same here with the same unlock tool,
my phone is a MDA VARIO and I want to set up the new Qtek Rom

I ordered the same phone (MDA Vario) from Netherlands a few days ago, still waiting for it to come.
It seems that what i feared the most happened: t-mobile upgraded Vario ROM to the latest release (>= 2.16 if i'm not wrong) and so it is no more possible to CID-unlock (or SIM-unlock) the device. Damn!!!
I'm italian and i don't speak Dutch so i really need to be able to both SIM and CID unlock my device or it'll be just a brick in my hands!
The only possible solution i can suggest is:
- Check your ROM version to see if it's a recent one (>= 2.x) or an older (1.x). If the latter is your case then do not follow next steps and read again lokiwiz thread and istructions. If, instead, you have a recent release (> 2.x) then read on.
- download an old dutch t-mobile ROM (find it here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/MDA_Vario_1060202_103_11210_TMNL_Ship.exe)
PS: if you're using a different model/country then download an old ROM (1.x) from your operator (O2, t-mobile, Orange, etc) in the same original device's language.
- install it (it should not require a CID unlock since it's an official t-mobile dutch release)
- CID (and SIM if you want) unlock your device (lokiwiz should work on an older 1.06 ROM as the one you just installed)
- Install the ROM (even an updated one) that suits you best.
- Last and most important: let us know if you succeded at it!!!
Bye, i really hope this solution works and/or you find a different solution. I think i'll have the same problem very soon!

Thanks for help, this solved all my problems but one:
If i CID unlock and SIM unlock my phone (after installing Custom 1.5 WWE ROM) and then i install latest AKU2 I-mate Italian rom, will the SIM unlock (and CID one too) be preserved? Or will the upgrade set the simlock back on the phone?
Thanks,

Sim-unlock is needed only once as far as I know.
Furthermore I updated my Kjam (simunlock from factory) with the new english rom, then I downgraded to old Italian rom and finally I re-upgraded to Italian new rom without problems. I just do cid-unlock once.

HTC 3600 and Dopod WM6

did someone tried the dopod wm6 rom on an HTC 3600?
Thanks

I did.
Works very well for me. No bug at all. I'm happy with it.

what about the fix time of the GPS?
any changes in speed of the whole system?
and the battery life time?
Thanks

I've upgraded my P3600 to WM6 (Australian ROM)
GPS - First detection is slow IMHO. After that it runs great.
Changes in speed - No changes so far I have noticed, in other words it still runs fast
Battery life - Is great depending on your usage. Just disable your infrared. That alone makes a lot of difference.

Where did you get the image ROM?
What is the difference between DOPOD and HTC Australian ROM?
Thanks

Does it matter where I got it from?.. Or do you want to know where you can get it?..
http://rapidshare.com/files/42337174/D810_ANZ_WM6_Upgrade_20070709.zip
I do not know what and if there is a difference is between DOPOD and HTC Australian ROM.
I just know that the ROM I used didn't have customized DOPOD screenlogo's/programs etc installed AND that I have only one issue since running this ROM but I think it's WM6 related:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318013

All the OFFICIAL ROMs providing wm6 for trinity, so far, are from Dopod, including the rapidshare link above.
This is why it's called: 'D810' and not HTC P3600 in the link.
You may notice very few Dopod's customization, but it's still a ROM from Dopod, you can see, for instance, some Dopod's ringtones in the alarms and ring lists.
As far as the localized operator settings are concerned, I can't tell, since I did not install their extended ROM, I don't have any either, except for the ring tones I just mentioned before.
Regarding the new ROM performances, I think it has increased a lot from the previous April wm5 release from HTC: faster, better look etc.
The GPS is a little bit faster, but not much faster, but I think it has more to do with the new radio.
For example I could not get any fix with the 1.46.00.01 one from SEA. But it works quite well with the 1.46.20.01, from ANZ.
The most impressive improvement is the wifi connexion, which is stable, and fast. (it was a disaster with previous radios, especially the 1.38.x series.

Just to make myself more clear:
1)
I know all the trinity ROMs are made by HTC. What I meant is not 'made by Dopod' but, branded, designed for Dopod.
2)
I have read here before that wifi has nothing to do with radio but just with the ROM itself. I don't know, but what I can tell is that, the previous wm5 plus 1.38/1.41 radio series had always given me poor wifi performance.
But wm6 with 1.46. series is perfect in terms of wifi perfs.

At last do you think that flashing with an official ROM (Asian or Australian doesn't matter) i will not have any king of strange problem like with the wm6 coocked roms?
I want wm6 but i want all the features work on the device too.
Thanks for your patience, but i'm going to buy my HTC p3600 nad i will do only if i can have a perfectly working WM6 device with working GPS.
Thanks

Since there are no garantees there is a choice to be made. The P3600 is still unique in his features. It's the ONLY Window Mobile based PDA with 3G enabled and GPS onboard.
And what you do want to consider is that even if HTC releases a WM6 for Europe, there are no garantees that the ROM won't have any flauds.

Exactly, there is never 100% garantee to be fully satisfied and get no default or bug. This is why the reseller is there to offer you a one year garantee, so if you fancy the specs of the device go for it.
I don't want to start any debate about which programmers have more skills and more time to do proper job.
Individual ROM cooks are amazing and none of us will ever reach their skill levels, and they do it for free, just for the pleasure of sharing with us, so we owe them the greatest respect for that.
But obviously , after having tried both, I confirm that there are less conflicts and bugs in the official ROM than in the cooked ones.
Also because they take more risks by adapting applications that where not designed for the device (ex: touchflo and kaiser interfaces in trinity)
But I do believe that new cooked ROM from now on will be far more reliable than they were in before (wm6 ones), mainly because they now have a stable basis (the official dopod release) to make their own developments on.
So the difference might be slighter and slighter in those respects.

Explicit instructions for a dummy
Does this ROM update go as easy as the GPS unlock update?
I've done ROM updates that made you go through several activities and I just screw them up.
I'm looking for the simple version.
Jerry

Tried this and no luck
I have an HTC branded and unlocked P3600
I got this error:
Error 294 - Invalid Vendor ID
This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.
Ideas?

No, it is not as easy as the GPS update ROM, and cannot be compare as you just experienced it because:
- it's not a HTC release, it's a DOPOD release, aiming at Dopod D810 clients, from South-east Asia and Australia-New-zealand.
- the ROM is heavy protected by its SPL to not install onto other CID devices.
- The previous Hard-spl crack doesn't work anymore and if you try to install it: luckily u'll get an error it will refuse to install, unluckily, it will get stuck in the middle of the install and you might even brick your device.
That's why you could not manage to install it. There are plenty of topics over this issue on this forum, you can try one of those workarounds, but take all responsibility if something unlucky happens during the upgrade process.
By the way: SIM unlocked, doesn't mean CID unlock, you can install any SIM card you want from any provider, but your phone's CID still belong to a language, a geographical area, and a manufacturer, which is HTC, not DOPOD ;-)

Come on guys...
read and use your brain..!!

that is it..
read the link I gave you. it is very simple.
copy this file to your pocketpc and execute it! works in 10seconds..

I clearly should do more reading before attempting this
Well, from you link, i can see that the boot unlocker works but i can't get back to my device because it's stuck in a boot loader rainbow screen.
How do i get it back to the OS?

I told you so...
1)
Don't think it's easy and simple, every one got different skills and experience and you don't help the noobies by saying "flashing a SPL protected ROM is 'easy and simple, just use your brain'...
Better being warned of the worst, if you want to do your best...
2)
There is a sticky thread in this forum about 'how to unbrick or unstuck you phone after having failed to flash the Dopod's ROM.
Read it CAREFULLY and try it out.
3)
Next time you try, use Olibro SPL or, more simple and safe for beginners, try to flash a ROM without SPL/IPL.

can you give more info on where you're stuck? (what is shown on bootloader screen). i'm assuming you've tried a soft reset to exit bootloader...
it's not that hard to flash a rom, the official dopod wm6 included. follow the guide here which will allow you to flash it without the new spl. it's still recommended to flash hard spl before a ROM flash to be safe.

Moving from T-Mobile UK 2.21.2.6 WWE to better/different ROM?

I'm having a WiFi problem as outlined in this thread, but nobody seems to be able to offer any help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324952
I'm thinking of upgrading from the official T-Mobile UK 2.21.2.6 WWE ROM I have installed to another network provider ROM to see if that fixes the problem.
But will updating from my current ROM to, say, an O2 UK official ROM work the same way as a simple ROM update, or will it brick the phone?
Does it need to be CID unlocked? I've ran what I think was the latest LokiWiz to unlock the SIM, but did this SID unlock the phone as well? How do I tell?
How do I know whether my phone's an AKU2 or AKU3?
And what's the best (i.e., most reliable) official ROM? Would upgrading to WM6 help anything?
Sorry if I'm going over ground covered a lot elsewhere, but the sheer amount of FAQs on CID/SIM/AKU etc., is incredibly overwhelming and confusing.
Thanks in advance for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

You will need LokiWiz 02b to CID unlock your device (if it is a G3)

There is probably an easier method however if you run the program "Registry Wizard" it normally tells you on start up

ROMS are all preference really.. at the moment im using T-mobile 2.26 US which i have found to be the best ROM (with applications / themes obviously) as T-mobile UK Rom is over a year old and is crap.
i have upgraded to WM6 3 times? and all 3 times i had problems, i am currently waiting for most of the bugs to be sorted..
keep us posted

ExtPkg version: Fail_Pkg_OpenPackageByGUID

Hi folks!
Yesterday i realized a strange message while open up the device information tool.
ExtPkg version: Fail_Pkg_OpenPackageByGUID
Does anybody know what's the reason for this message?
Is it because i flashed WWE ROM on a german phone?
Should i check for SuperCID?
The history of my device so far:
1. Unbranded Phone and unlocked phone with german stock R1A ROM
2. Applied Hard-SPL
3. Updated to german stock R2A (full update, flashed sucessfully after recovery)
4. Updated Radio ROM to 1.14.25.55 (single update)
5. Flashed some cooked 6.5 WWE ROMs
Decided to go back to 6.1 and ...
6. Finally flashed Smaberg's Touch X 10.1 ULTIMATE X-TREME (awesome ROM )
Would be nice to clear things up a bit!

How to check for SuperCID
O.K. call me stupid or whatever you like, but it's not that easy to get definite info about how to check for SuperCID.....
Anyway, connected to mtty and info 2 gave me HTCS00000000....
My device is definitely SIM unlocked but seems to got no SuperCID.
Any comments on that?
scholbert

erm that bit doesn't really matter at all, i've almost always had that on a lot of custom ROMs doesn't mean athing! its jus probably means there not clogging up the rom by cooking in an extra unneeded package!

Thanks for reply Jonny4911!

O.k. understand, so ExtPkg is similar to EXTROM on other HTC devices, right?
As a conclusion this has nothing to do with SuperCID in particular.
Apart from that would be interesting, how to check SuperCID

Hi guys I am looking for any compatible rom that is English. I have Diamond unit with Spanish ROM on it. I need English compatible ROM. I tried one from mediafire link above but installer gave me error saying invalid vendor id. I guess I can't just install any it needs to be specific carrier or vendor.
Here is info from about:
version: 1.93.476.3 ESN
Data 09/02/08
version 1.00.25.08
version 52.33a.25.17H
I really don't know anything about this unit I do not see any carrier markings on the box or start up screen , it looks like unbranded unit made for Spain may be. If possible provide direct link to rom I can use or may be some advice where I can look.
Thank you !

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I tried several roms that I thought are English and all of them showed me "INVALID VENDOR" error. is there anyway you can specify ROM I can use with my unit, if you not sure what I have to begin with I'd be more than happy to provide any info needed to identify unit I have.

Hard spl and you can install whatever rom u want....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
....
CID lock (aka vendor lock): put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them.
HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.
