hi,
i looked around for instructions on how to upgrade the ROM but i couldn't find any.
i have a very old ROM and i want to upgrade it to the latest ROM that includes the A2DP, etc.
how do i go about installing it? is it like installing a regular application? i have a Qtek 9100.
thanks,
Re: Simple guide - Unlock Vario and update to other ROMs
For anyone else who has had the same problem as we did, follow these simple instructions:
First download lokiwiz v2b. Don't use previous versions or you'll not get through this!!
Hard reset your device (not necessary, but it ensures you'll have no hassle with Activesync).
Done that? Good. Extract the lokiwiz v2b .zip folder and copy enablerapi.cab to your memory card or to 'My Documents' folder on your device. Then execute the 'enablerapi.cab'.
Done? Just switch off the device (power button; put it in standby mode).
If you have Activesync already installed, un-install it and re-install directly afterwards (ensure a brand new partnership).
Then when prompted by Activesync, plug in your USB cable PC-PPC and it should recognise as usual.
Then execute the lokiwiz.bat file (in the folder that was generated earlier when you extracted the lokiwiz02b.zip file) and when you see the MS Dos (black screen) choose the option CID Unlock (SuperCID) and wait for it to COMPLETELY finish. You'll know it's finished when your Wizard is re-booting. Plug out your USB cable at this stage.
Once re-booted and back into WM5, re-connect your cable and if all goes well it should re-connect to Active Sync (wait till it has finished syncing or says connected!).
Finally......double click the executable file, which should be:
RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Hopefully it will now install the ROM without hiccups (about 10 minutes).
Sorry to you gurus for the lengthy explanation, but some of us are still relatively inexperienced to this and a thorough (if you can call it that) explanation of the processes will really be appreciated. I certainly have done when some of guys broke it down to me in the past.
I'm hoping this ROM will not dissapoint me as the others have done, as I've been getting quite frustrated and angry about the whole WM5 & HTC thing.
Good luck. :wink:

thanks for finding the informaiton for me!
Thanks for the breakdown. I am new to all this, and not too au fait with all the developer terms, and it can be quite intimidating!
I have an O2 branded XDA Mini S and want to use it with Vodafone SIM card. The device is unlocked, so I can make and receive calls - good start!
However, I want to get rid of all the O2 branding and install the vodafone GPRS/SMS/MMS etc. settings. From what I've read on the forums, the O2 stuff slows the unit down, and it will all be irrelevant anyway. Does the extended ROM you refer to above then get the unit into an "unbranded" state?
Basically, I just want the unit without any trace of O2 (boot splach screen, O2 active etc.) and to be able to put the Vodafone settings in manually...
Thanks
Thanks mackaby007 - managed to update rom using your instructions, and got rid of O2 screen using aWizard!

I have the exact same problem. Both Loki and aWizard don't work.
Typically when you want to downgrade your phone to an earlier (or shipped version) you need to first downgrade it to Button's 1.05, then you can "upgrade" to back to the desired 1.x or 2.x ROM.
Is that what you're asking?

how is possible to downgrade the wizard phone to 1.05?
I have a T-mob wizard phone with inside IPL 2.21.0001,GSM 2.19.11, OS 2.21.2.6.
Have I to follow the below step?
1)dovngrade to 1.05 . Is necessary only OS or boot loader and ratio too?
2)perform again the flashing procedure.

looks to me that you have a "G4" chipset, I can tell because you are reporting the IPL 2.21.0001 and not just IPL 2.21 Maybe someone else can verify this???? If so please please DONT try to flash before you have researched "G4" chipset flashing first
Dear sir,
you true!!
I have just read a post were is explained that if you have G4 chip is not possible to downgrade or upgrade the ROM.
Bootloaders (IPL/SPL) with .0001 at the end of the version are G4 flash chips.
This info will be very halpefully for everybody need to perform any flashing action on wizard phone.
Do you confirm that is actually not possible to solve this issue?

Alex

I am very confused...
OK.
My wizard have G4 chip inside.
I was been able to remove the SIM lock.
If I try to CID unlock the device I receive CID unlocked successfull but after a ROM update the device stuck at startup.
Now...if I pay on http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ 20£ will be possible to change the ROM?
JAFWM
Hi,
I discovered a SW named JAFWM that is able to flsh evry ROM.
Is this true?
@squarna - Sorry mate but TBH with myself not having a G4 chipset Ive not taken much notice of any post relating to them, if no one else jumps in soon try starting a new thread with the title like "G4 chipset What roms work?" or something and good luck!

What I'd like to put on my phone is NBD, not sure which version tho. I have it downloaded onto my computer, but when i got to flash it. It come up with Error 208, File Error or something to that nature. Anyone have any advice, or where i can find a very good guide on how to do it? Any help would be appreciated

as you say that your device is SIM/CID unlocked and already using wm6 Faria rom,then I don't think there shud be any problem upgrading to any other new rom,as to the error 208,wud you plz post the exact error what it says,if it say it's a file error...can be related to a missing file called enterbootloader.exe. ,then most probably the file you downloaded is corrupt.which NBD rom you have downloaded.download latest NBD Rom from here and try to flash.

But I'll also advice you to flash back again T-mobile 2.26 to have a clear solid base again to start off for upgrading to new rom,it wud give you the advantage of clearing any misappropriations happened during your first install of Faria Rom as it is quite old build.flashing t-mobile 2.26 will give you a new clean base to upgrade make's sure your extended_rom is clean and uncorrupted, it causes all kinds of problems .sure you'll be fine good luck

ERROR [208] : FILE OPEN
These error messages indicate that RUU lacks certain important files and cannot continue with the update. Please get the complete RUU package again.
as t-mobile 2.26 flashed and loaded good,than there's no problem with your bootloader,Ok,Now do this,remove your phone from the usb cable(disconnect it) and do a Hard reset of your phone by doing this :-
1. Press and hold the comm manager button and voice command button on the device together with one hand
2.Keep the two buttons pressed,and at the same time,with other hand,use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button
the device will reboot and switch back on.
then delete active sync,reboot your PC,Run disk Clean wizard on Drive C:\ ,check all options in Disk Clean options,specially Temporary internet files and perform disk cleanup,after that delete all cookies in Internet options.
than download the latest version of Active sync ver 4.5 and install.
after this go into bootloader mode in your phone and connect to PC,but don't establish connection with Active sync,cancell the connection when it asks
when you connect witusb you'll see small usb showing at the bottom of bootloader screen (tri color screen) if it's there then open the rom file and try to flash,hope it'll be ok.
just post your present IPL/SPL...? it appears in red color when you switch on the phone and on the boot screen at the top.whatever the ipl/spl..? is there at the moment just post it,ok
I still believe the error 208 is due to some missing files,may be the NBD rom is getting some corruption
anyway you can also download official rom from the official site of your carrier ( the rom which came prinstalled when you bought the phone)
or download this rom and see if it flashes:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332544
Ipl/spl: 2.26
Ok so I did everything you told me to do in your 2nd to last post : deleted activesync and clear cookies and did disk clean, and hard reseted my phone. Then i tried to flash both NBD and TNT and neither of them worked. So then i flashed back to my orignal rom, the one my phone came with. Then tried flashing both of them, and still nothing? I keep getting the Error 208
Current IPL/SPl are both 2.25

IPL/SPL 2.25 G3 AKU2 version,
ok,now tell me,when you flashed the original rom,was it successful,did it load up ? is your phone working normal with the original rom ?
I just feel as your phone is still not CID unlock,do one more thing,download this WST tool from the link below,install and run it,then post whatever report it generates,ok
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
Ah 1
so,when you flashed with T-mobile 2.26 you had ipl/spl 2.26,afterwards you flashed back with your original rom,is it cingular rom ? so ipl/spl 2.25 is registered. Both of these Roms T-mobile and original(cingular or ?) which you flashed are official roms.so only official roms are flashing and not the custom builds,hmm, so custom build rom can only be flashed if device is CID unlocked.
It means may be your device is still not CID unlocked ?
But i did CID unlock, because thats how i got Faria v5.0 on my phone. Do I have to CID unlock everytime i flash?... Ok so i ran that program you told me to and heres what i got.

replace the files from MUNN with the one in NBD,
just a hunch may be bootloader of your phone not accepting romupdateutility of NBD,lets replace and see,it might do the trick.
you are awesome.... its loaded NBD... I guess it was a corrupted file. Now does this mean i can put TNT on my phone? If so will i have to replace those files?

the upgrade said it was succesfull but when the phone came back on, it still had Windows mobile5 on it.
