I've brick my MDA Vario II. I think the only way to unbrick is the PB-KITL-method. I've installed the MS Windows CE 5.0 Evaluation installer and create like these description (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES a new rom.
Now I have to set the MDA in the KITL-mode. But I can't do this. There are a lot of different description but I cannot set the MDA in the KITL-Mode.
so I need your help.

Maybe this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets ?
I've read this before. When I press COMM and Power-button start reset, the MDA boots. I see the t-mobile start screen (I always press the both button) at the bottom of the screen I see in red letters:
M05
S04
B06 D1.21
after a few second No GSM
an the the screen changes to Windows mobile start screen an then the screen frozen

HI,
I have been stupid and once getting my MDA Vario II in the post I ran a sim unlocker from www.buzzdev.com been impatient I ran this through and it crashed at 90%. I then read further that this unlock was not actually for this phone. ( i know I'm and idiot, still kicking myself about this)
Anyway the phone now hangs on the windows mobile splash screen. I've tried getting the sim unlocker from www.imei-checker.co.uk but when entering the stage of pressing the (ok, power, and soft reset) button I can't get the usb signal to come up at the bottom of the tri colour screen to enable me to run the app.
Can anyone give me some pointers to get me out of the stupid mess I've got myself into. I'm sucessfully running the I-mate K-JAM ROM on the MDA Vario and have just upgraded to the VARIO II but have stuffed things up big time.
Help Please
You used the HTC Universal unlocker and the radio part of your device is trahsed.
See the bottom of this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
You can still boot the device, but GSM will not work because radio is broken.
In order to fix it, try using the "flash from microSD card" method, described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62596
Which CID does the Vario II have? You should use a NBH with the same CID, but t-mob hasn't released any updates yet... so, try using the TyTN rom, the CID is "QTEK_001" and let me know if it works, otherwise you'll have to wait for a NBH with your CID.
Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=362230#362230
HTC ended up replacing my device as even they couldn't get it to flash over JTAG after someone else had run the 'universal' bootloader.....
To start the device, do a hard reset then soft reset rather than press spacebar to reboot afterwards.
EDIT - I've had trouble with ime-check's unlokcer as well, with a working m3100 - try a different P.C to run it on.

...tried to unlockit with the athena-unlocker! After Step 1 it startet to Step2 und suddenly the connection was lost!
Now the battery lamp of the Ameo is in green mode!
I can make a factory reset, but I see no bootloader mode!
Screen is black an a green light aroundthe joystick! The Connection via active sync to my pc isn't available any mory!
What do you think?
game over - any change to bring my Ameo back to life?
Edit1: ther is no MiniSd Card inside
Hi, I do not think your Ameo is lost. Some else hat the same problem, please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1358430&postcount=35 and try the steps described there. In most cases, it is also possible to flash WM6 if your device is stuck in the bootloader.
There are two things I would like you to try:
- To make a Hardreset hold the volume slider down and press the reset button.
- To enter Bootloader press and hold the camera button and press the reset button.
Do any of these work?
If any of these two works, you should be able to flash WM6.
...you were right - thx a lot 4 the solution

You're welcome, have fun with WM6 However, if you want to kill the SIM-Lock/Net-Lock on your device, you have to run the unlocker again. It seems that WM5 has some problems running the unlocker while WM6 does not.
After you successfully run the unlocker again, remember to flash your WM6 ROM again (watch the battery power, it should always be >50% before starting flashing!) so you have the newest Radio version.
If problems persist after flashing, this page in the XDA wiki might be helpful: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...e Athena Unlocker - the Black Screen of Death

When I start to try something with the "bootloader" (on-switch, Action-button, reset) he explain me, i can´t install this version, cause the langua.
So pls. help a noob (first-timer of rom-modification), maybe u have a help-page in german too (Or step by step), cause all what i found at your wiki confuse me too much, cause i never heard somethin about this all - even how the extract a .nbf-file.
Thx for help

==================================================
6 steps to successfull Himalaya/WM2k5 upgrade.
==================================================
Note:
The Radio_.nbf is an optional component,
not included in this archive.
Get your favourite Radio ROM at http://buzzdev.net
====================================================================
1. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
2. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
3. Run HimaUpgradeUt_noid.exe
4. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
5. Detach your device from the cradle.
6. Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
wow - ma, thx; perfectly :d:
It worked, no i have a version of 7.04.c, i guess win 6.0
---
Just few problems left:
1.) fixed
2.) Is there a german version anywhere???
3.) edit: my mistake; fixed
4.) I read, there is no problem of downgrade it (no, i don´t want), but from where i should get the german version for downgrading)
5.) My mda was without simlock (I could use every phonecard), i hope i still can ))
Edit2
6.) I have the program PowerLOC Destinator (a Navigation Program); when i would start, he tell´s me: Invalid PocketWizard Setup package
I guess Navigator is not made for win 6, cause the programm is the original sd-card
7.) At settings i can "switch" wlan; I guess this is just from the OS, cause as i know, a standart mda2 doesn´t have wlan
Background: A guy from phonecompany told me, that t-mobile, switched off the wlan-function, so that i customers doesn´tt know, that his pda can wlan (Branding of t-mobile); but the hardware is inside the pda; They made it at vario 2 and mda pro
Edit3:
Next Problem:
When i connect now the craddle with the mda, i get following error msg.
-Generic RNDIS (PROTOTYPE--Remember to change idVendor-
And ActivSync is not connecting
I duno, how to fix
ActiveSync 4.5 doesn´t work on my w2k-pc, and my mda sais he needs 4.5
With 4.2 and down, i can´tt connect the mda
Anyway, thx, thxy, thx, this was really a good describtion
Hi,
I'm trying to flash my Wizard (T-Mobile Mda Vario to be exact) to WM6 ("SNN Edition Version 3.0 LITE"). And I'm stuck
Before I touched anything that was what I got:
IPL: 2.21.0001
SPL: 2.21.0001
GSM: 02.19.11
OS: 2.21.26
// Just after I got my Wizard I have used lokiwiz03a to be able to use it with my Orange SIM card, but after that I have hard reseted it.
Here's what I have done:
- I'm using a Windows XP computer
1. I took off the SIM card and SD card.
2. Turned on my Wizard and connected it via USB to computer (with the latest ActiveSync - don't know the version but I've just downloaded it from Microsoft site).
3. It has synchronized.
- my battery was 85% full
4. I've downloaded "Wizard Service Tool" and clicked the wide button on the top "Enable RAPI..." or something like that (at the black screen on the left it said that I should click this button before doing anything else with this program). Then I clicked "Device Info" to be sure that I have a G4 Wizard.
5. I have unplugged the Wizard's USB (I don't really know why, but I've been nervous).
6. Then plugged it again and waited until the ActiveSync has synchronized.
7. I've used HardSPL as told in "Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies" - everything came fine. I got the white screen and after my device has restarted I had:
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.olip
// I don't remember what OS version was, and I got no GSM line
8. I waited for ActiveSync to synchronize and then ran ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe (from "SNN Edition Version 3.0 LITE" - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383524).
9. I did what the program had told me to do (it has been the same as HardSPL).
10. In one of the final steps (after clicking "UPDATE") it hadn't written any information about "Image Version" and "Language" in "To" section but I didn't take this as an issue and clicked "next".
11. I got the progress bar, my Wizard's screen went black.
12. Finally, on the PC I got the information saying that it can't accomplish the upgrade and I should get a newer version of RUU or something like that (I freaked out and closed that window without making a screen shoot). I didn't get even 1% (I had 0) but I've seen the progress bar.
What I have now on my Wizard are three colored bars on my screen. In the top right corner it's written "RUU", in the bottom left "USB". I also have "IPL 2.21.0001" and "SPL 2.21.olip" written on the bars.
Please tell me what should I do now?
Should I unplug my Wizard's USB from PC?
Should I click any button on my Wizard?
Do I already have a brick or is there a chance for me?
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Alex(ander)
From the "Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies" guide, download the Mun RUU and use that. Extract it somewhere and paste the nk.nbf file from the ROM you wish to use and it should be ok. If you reset your wizard it will boot in WM normally. There's nothing wrong with it.
Thank you very much. You gave me hope
I'll do what you've said when I calm down.
EDIT//
Man, that's great. I have the WM6
Thanks a lot again
You are welcome. Glad everything worked out well.
Hello!
Recently i have found qtek 9100 which has lain without the battery about 4 months.
It starts with bootloader only, where:
IPL 2.18.0001
SPL 2.18.0001
I tried to flash Love and Prodigy firmware and flashing has finished without any errors but nothing changed - its just only tricolor if powered on.
Show me the way out of this RGB field, please
Hello
I´m having the same troubles with mine ...but i fix it with hardreset..
just reset with pen ..push the right and left button at the same time with the Power on Button ... then release only the powerbutton .. a messagage appears .. release the right and left button on the top site... then press talk for min. 4 sec. or more (the green one) then release it ... in a short while the phone reboots (it seams to be the same like before but it will take a while.. ) with your older settings..
i hope this was helpful
kind regards
Michael
