I recently bought a new but locked to O2 XDA2. Radio ver 1.10.00
After trying the bootloader method which advised me of an already unlocked device which I knew it was'nt, I downloaded the latest ver 2.2 unlocking software which I ran from the p.c. via activesync.
Et Voila!!! She is now unlocked and up and running with my trusty old T-Mobile sim.
Well done you guys. Donation on its way!!

Hi all,
Can someone confirm that the bootloader isn't being upgraded after upgrading to a newer ROM.
For example my current ROM is 1.60.00WWE with bootloader V1.02
If I upgrade my XDA to a newer ROM let's say 1.72.00WWE does this upgrade alter my bootloader version to 1.06?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
- upgrading to 1.66 leaves bootloader as it is
- 1.72 will replace bootloader by v1.06 (and all that little side effects you can read about here)

Hi Peter,
Any idea to which ROM I've to upgrade to upgrade my bootloader to 1.03?
thanks
Mark
after playing around with several german and english rom-upgrades it seems to me that no rom-upgrade up to 1.66.xxx changes the bootloader. the first rom-upgrade changing the bootloader is 1.72.xxx so i think there is no rom-upgrade with a bootloader 1.01/1.02/1.03 in it.
originally i had v1.01 on my device. when i upgraded to 1.66.231ger i still had v1.01 but since i upgraded to 1.72.751ger i have v1.06 and now i cannot downgrade to rom-versions before 1.66. when i downgrade to 1.66 bootloader 1.06 still stays on the device.
what i am still missing is an official rom-ugrade to a german 1.72 because the one i did was a rom-dump of a brand new eplus qtek to sd-card. this work for exactly one time and replaced my bootloader by 1.06 then i downgraded to 1.66.231ger and everything was fine. but there is no way to perform the upgrade to 1.72 by sd-card again because now i get the message "update not allow". i think this is because of the wrong country-id of the rom-dump on sd-card (which was no problem for bootloader 1.01 but 1.06 cares about and denies).
so i hardly wait for an official 1.72.xxxger where i can change country-id by er2003edit.

Hi comm!
I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, Rom Version: 1.21.
Can i upgrade my PPC with the released WM6 update of HTC without any problems, although i have a differently branded TyTN? Will all functions work (telephone, internet)? And can i downgrade my WM6 to WM5 easily or can I reactive my current system status with a backup (SK Tools)? Last but not least, what will the warranty say?
Thanks for your efforts.
PS: sorry for all these maybe stupid questions...but i´m just a beginner =)
upgrading to WM 6 worked for me as did unlocking ;-)
If you do not use an official T-mobile ROM update forget any warranty, unless you're able to downgrade to the original one
I have an original Rom from T-Mobile. Do you know what happens with the warranty of T-Mobile when you unlock the CID? Does the CID still will be unlocked if you install another Rom? Can you lock it again?
It won´t be possible unless you downgrade to your old ROM again. I am not sure if that´s possible, though.
I went along the way described at http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php...ask=view&id=65&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4
If you follow the directions including the upgrade to wm6 from Custel, you can afterwards install the German WM6 version from HTC. It won´t work directly. The CID will stay locked and the HTC cannot be installed until you installed the CUSTEL version.
I think the T-Mobile contract does not allow to modify the system in this way.
How to
Using the search function gave me thread as the first result.(Couldnt find any how to guides)
So.. What do i need to do to upgrade my ROM? i have a fresh MDA vario II just got repaired from the shop.(Nothing to do with bricking if you;re wondering)
Can some one please give me a simple step by step guide on how to upgrade.
Thanks a bunch
HELP
i have 8525, and i installed WM6, with different applications and i cant get the voice dial to work and cant find any applications or roms, does anyone know how i can get it to work?
i've got an 'old' mda vario 2, which i unlocked using pof's cid and simunlock tool. i want to upgrade to a new WM6 rom (either the tmobile or htc wm6 rom), and for that i may or may not need to be cid unlocked. the most important is, that i stay sim unlocked.
so if i upgrade to the stock shipped WM6 (dutch) tmobile rom, i off course do not need to be cid unlocked (only if i want to upgrade to the WM6 htc rom, which in the end i prefer!!!).
but i've been reading around, and there are radio roms around that when the device is upgrades with that particular rom, the device becomes simunlocked again to that provider (in my case maybe Tmobile) without any hope of simunlocking it again. The devices i'm talking about are the X01HT devices with radio 1.14.01.10.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665&highlight=cid+unlock
so here my question, i know for a fact (or i think i do since it is a pre 2007 mda vario 2) that i do not have an X01HT device. but after i upgrade to the orginal WM6 rom (either the tmobile rom or the HTC rom) will the radio rom in the new original tmobile rom simlock the device again (and thus putting the unlockable 1.14.01.10 radio rom on it)?
Or is this only the case for X01HT devices with radio 1.14.01.10 (since the radio roms of these devices cannot be up or downgraded).
any help is appreciated
Use HardSPL - this will idiot-proof keep your device unlocked / safe for most failures if you follow the instructions in the forum and in the WIKI exactly.
The X01HT is a version of the HTC HERMES especially made and rebranded for SOFTBANK (just another company riding on HTC's back ). Your T-Mobile Vario II is not a SOFTBANK!
Read the HERMES section in the WIKI it covers nearly everything, even SIM lock / CID lock. If there are some things in the WIKI which you can't understand just come back here and post your questions ...
Hi there, my first posting after reading here for a few days...
I got an T-Mobile Ameo which identifies its IPL and SPL like this (in Bootloader Mode)
ATHE100
IPL-1.00
ATHE100
SPL-1.06.0000
I am a little bit confused since I could not find any other person/posting which reported this SPL version of 1.06.
What do you think about this? Is it just normal or do I have to do some precaution measures before CID-unlocking, SIM-unlocking and flashing?
Greetings, forcemaker
Upgraded to T-Mobile WM6
... with the "original" Upgrade Tool, all fine for me; I also figured out that my PrePaid-Provider "Congstar" is D1=T-Mobile net, so I do not even have to SIM-unlock.
All's fine
So this low SPL version which I couldn't find in combination with "ATHENA" so I was guessing if this was a "too old" version.
CU, forcemaker
Hi
I also have this SPL with small differance SPL 1.07
Have you SUCCESSFULY unlock with OLIPRO unlocker
and this ""original" Upgrade Tool," from where is this
Best regards
just used the T-Mobile WM 6 ROM
Hi GSmart,
I did not unlock the device nor SIM unlocked, so I cannot tell whether it will do the job for you.
I used the ROM from T-Mobile Germany (Deutschland, short TMD). As I did not need any modification - I just wanted it to work stresslessly - I just flashed the ROM with the Update tool that was supplied with the download. As far as I got it, it is the original upgrade tool supplied for providers and customers(?).
You can find the original ROMs in this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334512
I myself used "German - T-Mobile Ameo" which is:
http://rapidshare.com/files/73352583/Athena_WM6_TMD_2.35.111.3_By_Agent_Bignose.zip
So, if any modified ROM which needs unlocking, will install fine? Don't know. Maybe you could upgrade with an official ROM and automatically with the supplied SPL version and then do your personal upgrade.
But ask here in the forum, I cannot answer this.
Good luck!
1000 times thank you for your attention
Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the forums looking for a solution to debrand and flash stock rom with 2.5 bootloader. Can anyone point me to the right direction?
I have tried DFT spl put get "invalid vendor ID.
From what I understand I can not use goldcard as my bootloader is 4.x
my phone is
HTC Titan (vodafone)
Carrier (unlocked)
OS version: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware revision number 1750.0602.40603.165
Hardware revision number:0002
Radio software version 17.5006.08.27_17.08.50.06U
Bootloader version: 4.6.175006.2(140733)
any help greatly appreciated. My HD2 @Dynamics HD2O 2.00 WP7.8 8858 is putting my titan to shame.
Your Titan is branded, even though it's carrier unlocked, it still carries a brand like ATT.
Firmware revision number 1750.0602.40603.165
That bit right there, the last 3 digits, usually shows the characteristic value of the phone on which network and region it is tied to.
Only phones with 401 (usually) are unlocked phones which do not carry and network branding in them.
Your luck is very slim, if you can find a matching Vodafone EU ROM with a bootloader version of at least below 2.05 / 2.5 (same thing) then there's a possibility of HSPL.
Success
Update.
It is possible.
I successfully downgraded SPL to 2.5. I created goldcard using nbh file in DFT SPL205 file then flashed HSPL.. Titan now running Dynamics 2.0.

How did you unlock? Could you give me some guidance?
the titan of a friend is in semi-brick and I would try to install a custom rom to restart it.. But I can not proceed with the downgrade bootloader
