I have an 8125 and I currently have WM6 5.2.318 (Build 15342.4.0.01) installed with SPL/FPL 3.08 and I have not been able to get the last 3 versions of WM6 that anyone has put out to work. Two of the updates get to the bootloader and then I get an error back from the pc that the USB isnt recieving information from the PDA and then the Bootloader sticks till I reset my 8125 or take the battery out, the others get through the verification process on the PC and then after I have agreed to everything it closes my Activesync Connection and never loads the BootLoader on my phone and eventually errors out on the PC for NO communication. What is Going on? HELPPPPPPP.
Do you know if you have a G3 or a G4? Did you Cid Unlock your phone? without knowing more. All i can say is read and read some more on these forums.
Thanks for the Reply
I have a G3 and yes I did do the CID unlock. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!
Well i'm new in this forum. Thanks to the ones who are viewing this.
This is what happened:
I brought 3 Siemens SX56 from the US. 2 locked to AT&T (windows 2002 installed), one locked to T-mobile (windows 2003 installed).
As the bootloader was originally 5.22 for the three of them, I did the typical unlock supplied by XDA DEVELOPERS (replacing the original flash with the XDADEV flash and running xdaunlock.exe)
That worked fine with both AT&T units which are already unlocked.
However the T-mobile one refuses to give me the unlock codes when i open xdaunlock.exe (error getting unlocked codes)
For what i've been reading, this is most likely because win2003 was installed in this one and i heard it's harder to unlock. But that's just what i heard.
Could anyone help me unlocking it?
I really appreciate!
Thanks!
Nicolas.
Ps: you can contact me to [email protected]
:x hi, thanks for xda unlocking software. i can't seem to unlock me xda II. i have the new XDA 2i.
Read:4, ooFF ( o meaning square)
Failed to do magic
search this forum for steps on downgrading ur rom to 2002 or even better is to just load the XDA-Developer rom onto it and it'll unlock it. then after that switch back to your original rom
remember to use xda tools to backup ur original rom on ur computer first!
Reply
Thanks a lot for your response
I already did that. I downloaded the roms from the at&t sx56 and loaded from sd card. The reason i did this is because the xda developers rom wouldn't let me run the upgrade with ppc2003 on it (a usb connection error was displayed)
I installed the 2002 ppc software and after that, i upgraded directly via ActiveSync.
Still i could not get the unlock codes (same error: error getting unlock code).
That's why i need help. Thanks!
interesting havent heard that one before.. have you tried downgrading to another t-mobile 2002 rom and then after that installed xdadev rom? or maybe downgrade the bootloader?
hi
i have same problem as nikoleman
i have a T-mobile pocket pc (i think it is WM2003 beta)
Pw10b1
rom version:4.00.16 ENG T-Mobile
with wallably 5.22 bootloader
i downgrade the bootloader to 5.15 and
the rom to 3.17.03 ENG cooked in kitchen
now infrared is not working and still get error getting unlock code
any help plz
yep
in fact that's the only way it would let me do it.
I backuped rom from the at&t ones and writed it to the t mobile. Then upgraded to XDA DEV special edition and it still throws me the "error getting unlock code" error.
Do you know why might this be?
hi i have xda1 with t-mobile
it only shows t-mobile and hangs there
it shows
t-mobile
4.01.19
which rom should i use and what is the method to write that rom
Thanx in advance
Normally you should see ROM Version (in you case 4.01.19) and also 2 other Version. But I´m sure, you do not see this numbers....
I think you have flashed the wrong radiostack to your device and now you have GSM Error when you enter the bootloader....
Try this instructions:

any thing else
i ve downloaded the same rom version on my phone but still it hangs at the startup with showing
3.17.03
with no radio versions and etc.
The phone was fell down from me and it started the problem from same time.
plz give me solution it is very urgent
You may have damaged some internal component when you dropped the phone. Are you pushing resetting the phone after flashing, by pushing once in the hole under the headset socket then wait one minute and push once more.
You are saying that you have ROM version 4.01.19
If I remember correctly that ROM version can only be unlocked using the SD card method. Is it possible that somebody tried to unlock it and screwed it up?
Either way it sounds like you need a new main board for it.
my phone is finally ok with some problems
i ve successfully made my mobile in working condition by some technical methods but i still have some problems with its software. from where i can get the exact radio stack for being used here in Pakistan. is it wants auto configuration but my operator and country is not listed in that menu.

I am planning on purchasing an MDA Vario on T-Mobile UK, however I need to use it on Vodafone UK.
I want to unlock the phone with least risk of causing any problems, or bricks as I see it more commonly termed as in this forum.
Is there a simple tool which does SIM unlock and nothing more and is it safe ? I was thinking lokiwiz version 0.1 might do that ?
Will all the new MDA Vario come with the G4 chip ? or is luck of the draw.
Please please can someone shed some light.
surely someone has done this, please please help me
I have done a straight unlock and it went fine to qtek 9100 firmware...
But:
Email and other funtions didnt work properly
Phone crashed alot
Finally the back light failed.
So about 10 minutes ago i switched back to the T-Mobile firmware.
Now everything is working perfectly and the new OS looks very nice too.
below24,
straight unlock ? -- what tool did you use to unlock ?
new OS ? -- do u mean the latest offcial T-mobile ROM ?
appreciate your input
Yes the Latest T-Mobile ROM, its from their site.
Well i have to use a piece of sortware found here, to unlock the lock on the phone so i could first flash it and that also unlocked it.
Then immediately debranded it to the Qtek 9100 ROM, which made the Device run slower (than the T-mobile one)
Not sure what it was called though probably the lokiwiz version 0.1, that was the one. Very easy and straight forward...
G4 chip MDA Vario unlocked
Got my vario today locked to T-mobile UK. And yes it was a G4 chip.
IPP/SPL - 2.21.0001
OS - 2.24.2.6
I had no t-mobile SIM so stuck my vodafone SIM in, first asks for my personal SIM password, then it asks for unlock code.
At this point I ran lokiwiz03a, which ran but never gave me unlock code, mentioned something about not being able to copy some file and it might be in use.
So I copied EnableRapi.cab to my phone and ran EnableRapi.cab from File Explorer, that went fine (message about overwrite, said yes)
Then I ran LockiwizMsl.bat from desktop while being connected to ActiveSync and there it was the unlock code.
Entered worked fine.
As regards the ROM upgrade, my main reason was to lose all t-mobile crap, but found an easier way with ZERO risk:
First time ever you startup phone it does inital setup, the last step it beings to do an install, as soon as the install starts pull the battery out, then reboot. (Important to have the battery cover off already)
On reboot you should be able to go into the phone no setup screens this time, also ZERO customizations, yes means you need to do all the GPRS, MMS etc etc setting yourself, but that I am happy to do.
Hope this helps someone.
forgot main thing, used lokiwiz03a, thanks to machinagod.
Good, im glad i could have been of assistance.
good luck in the future with it.
but the pulling out of the battery im not too sure about... :shock:
I agree pulling battery out sounds crazy, I remember reading it in a forum, thought it would never work myself, since it was a new phone i could always return in 7 days, so thought what the hell, let me try it out.
Been running one day, and everything works fine, phone is fine, wi-fi working, bluetooth and GPS, so far so good.
Trying some tweak programs now
Loving my MDA, why did i not get one sooner.
Thats what i thought, the Vario is very good, but i still think its a little on the large side and not as fast as it can be... I am really waiting for the tytn.
I have found that the firmware from T-mobile is pretty stable and has a quicker startup than the qtek 9100 firmware. however this may not be the case with everyones mobile, just me!
Could you not just perform a soft reset instead of pulling the battery out?
soft reset - you mean when the install begins ?
really not sure, guess next person can try this out and let us know.
This tool is great, file transfer it to your MDA then just click on it, it will unlock your phone to all networks, I tried it on my MDA Vario with T-mobile for an o2 sim and it works great no issues, I can use GPRS, MMS, Call waiting etc
...yes, soft reset while device installs works (of course I made a full backup with SPB-backup first)...
straight forward unlock mda vario
I receiced this logfile while executing
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=WIZA200
could not find security key for device type WIZA200
xdadev_all_unlock failed
I guess mine is already unlocked, ain't it...

best way to tell is to put different provider sim in there and turn it on.
I have an 8125, but I uses t-mobile. The phone is unlocked but I like the sound of the new upgrade from t-mobile. So if anyone know how to do this, please help.
I've tried to upgrade with the mda software, but it says my phone is not compatible. Any way around it?
hi
hi freidn
even i use t mobile mdaiii
i tried to upgread it but i got big error now phone is not even starting
it showing usb 2.05 wen its connected to usb
otherwise it showing serial v2.05
nothing els no switch on option not even reseting itself
kindly help me if you know the ans
thankx
Easy to do it.
Download the Tmobile ROM from the Tmobile site or this forum's FTP. Flash it. I have used flashed my 8125 with the Tmobile ROM so that my friend could use it for a week and the 8125 actually works better with the Tmobile ROM.
I have a second t-mobile dash, it used to be a brick. Someone messed it up.
Luckly found a way to manully put it in bootloader 3 color mode (holding the camera button for 3-4 seconds and hit the power button), then downloaded the latesest WM6 rom from T-Mobile 1.22.531.4. Flushed succefully, rebooted and the PC part of the phone now works perfectly.
Big problem is that it can not find the T-mobile phone network. That part just keep searching... No network. Testing by plugging in a cingular sim card. Prompt me for sim unlock code. So I guess the sim slot is at least working and it's reading the sim card. Used other perople's sim card, still not working(of course the sim card still work, plugging into my old samsung phone).
The radio version is now 4.1.13.34_02.79.90 . It's way different from my other dash...I am suspecting it to be the cause. WHAT RADIO VERSION HAVE YOU GUYS GOT?
Any idea how to fix it? try with changing the radio version may be?
Thanks
Can a few people just tell me what radio version are you on?
I was wondering, would a stolen phone be locked by the carrier so that the phone can't detect network?
This item is bought through ebay so i don't know what the previous guy was up to..
Thanks
Leo
Radio version change
Come on guys, anyone?
How about if anyone would like to point me to the right direction in how to change the radio version on the t mobile dash... is it a hardware thing or a software thing.
Thanks
Leo
there is a radio updtae in the ftp :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/smartphones/Excalibur
but i don't know if this upgrade is good or not
no, this radio upgrade is no good. do not even bother..
I suggest that you flash original T-Mobile firmware to this handset. Be that WM5 or WM6 and see how you go.
my Excalibur is HTC S620, radio version: 2.63
Firmware or ROM?
Thanks guys for your reply.
SecureGSM : Do you mean the ROM for the whole WM6 software (which I have already flushed.. twice). Or a firmware like a computer bios? If there is a firmware please point me to the right direction I'll definately want to put it in.
Thanks
Leo
Hi,
I was referring to the original WM5 T-Mobile ROM. You might have a better chance with it.
Radio version 4.1.13.34_02.79.90 is provided in the WM6 upgrade from T-mobile.
