Hi, forgive me I have searched the net & am just confused with all the info out there & I dont seem to be getting anywhere fast please help.....
I have the MDA Vario 2 with T-Mobile. My son has changed the unlock code on the front screen when you first turn the device on, I have tried so many combinations he thinks he inputted & none of them work. How do I now unlock the phone?
I have tried the whole hard reset thing but am unclear on which buttons exactly to press as threads on the net just state 'Soft keys' :s
Really sorry if this is the wrong sub forum too.
**Cough**
Sorry for bumping my thread but I still havent got a clue....
the 2 softkeys below the screen and the reset button
Thankyou kingsizeriz, device now rebooted
Lost all my data but being a lucky chap I can restore most of it at work with my Sync cable. Again, many many thanks!
no problem - loss of data is better than a phone that cannot be used

Hi - great site loads of good info
Ok i have a few questions i cant seem to work out even after reading ! so no laughing !
Phone is a SPV M2000 on Orange monthly pay sim,
What is a Radio Rom ? - does this mean this phone has a radio built into it ? if so how do i unlock it / get it to work ?
My Operator version is 5.31.1.162 / ROM 1.31.00 but i have some problems with the phone - mainly when the phone rings or i dial people ..... basically we cant hear each other or talk, kind of like its on mute or something ? ..... a soft reset usually sorts it but it is really annoying and happens on and off ...... also the phone seems slow ? ..... i have slid the memory line over to 2/3 system memory but still a very slow i think ? .... ive tried searching for a patch that someone talked about but cant find anything ?
Can i upgrade to a new ROM ? ..... id like a UK spec if possible as i don't want funny things going on to the system in foreign languages !!! i have seen a T mobile one, could i use this ?
i have just done the sim unlock and it seems to be ok although i haven't tried on another sim yet
please try and keep it simple, with good links etc if needs be
Thanks in advance
Dave
Hi
Ill answer what I can, as im pretty new to this too.
The radio is not a FM type radio, but the electronics that do things like WIFI and Bluetooth.
The no sound issue is a well reported bug.
I have an orange spvm too and I had it replaced.
The support line took ages to acknowledge the fault, but in the end replaced the phone and this so far is working well.
If for you it does not, then by law you can reject the phone as having an inherrent fault regardless of how old it is, as it was not of mechantable quality when you got it.
The speed,
I noticed that even when you click the little X in the top corner, the app is still running, so this will slow it down.
Your best bet maybe to every now and then do a soft reset just to clean things up.
The Tmobile Rom.
Not sure, as Im also thinking about this.
What I want to know is , will this Rom give me Tmobile settings?

Hi Dave - Welcome.. Remember, we all have to start somewhere..
The first thing I would recommend is reading.. I'm not too sure if you've discovered the Wiki on here but this is truely the best place to start..
So, simple links:
Start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
A link from this page (titled Getting Started With Your Blue Angel) will lead you to updating your BA to where it will be of most benefit.
This is where you need to start thinking of what's of more use to you.. I, for example, have not updated my BA to WM2005 (or WM5 as it's more commonly known) as I would not be able to Sync with my Work PC easily. In other words, the latest is not always the best! You need to think of how you're going to use your BA and by trial and error, get to your own conclusions. Although saying that, feel free to seek advice on how others have reached a similar conclusion.
If a "seach" (top of the screen - Highly recommended :wink: ) doesn't reveal an answer you're looking for then a simple post with something like "Having problem "X".. Anyone else have it..?" is a lot better then "NEEDED - ANSWER TO MY WORRIES!"
This is outlined here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534
My second piece of advice is to make sure you know what you're doing.. If fiddling with yor BA is going to lead you somewhere you don't know then perhaps fiddling with it is not what you should do. I don't want to see posts from you stating "HELP - MY BA's BU**ERED!" because you thought that Reading Wiki was for saddos :lol:
Remember - Don't run before you can walk..
Tip for Hearing problem - Turn on the Bluetooth and keep it on.. This is a well documented tip for solving the issue.. Updating to the 1.42.00 Spec ROM will also help too but you're right in saying that it will give you the T-Mobile settings.. What you can do there is use the search facility to find if someone has posted a .CAB file with the Orange SMS/MMS Settings
So, start reading..
Hope this helps..?
Cheers,
Hi Dave
Great response by Mr Philly and I wholly endorse everything that is stated.
I am also a newbie (I think this is my first post) and if you want to know anything, wiki is the place to go.
There is a newer Orange UK ROM avalible (Not as new as the T-Mobile ROMs and part of which I have used in my own update) and if you follow the steps through wiki you find out how to apply the roms and where to find them.
I have read in this forum on a number of occassions don't mess with it unless you are prepared to lose it and that must be kept in mind. That said I been really pleased this the usage and function with my SPV since making the ROM updates and my thanks goes to a number of very gifted contributors.
Good luck
simjo.
Hi Guys -
Listen, many thanks for taking the time to reply .... I have read a fair bit but was starting to get muddled up with all the acronyms etc .......
But i now have a more important issue at hand ...... i went out last night and lost my 512 memory card (bugger !) ...... must have un clicked out (i was a bit merry last night) ..... anyway ...... i went to use the phone this morning and its silent ...... no sounds whatsoever, no ring tone , no key pad tones , no sound when playing media files etc .... silent as a whistle .......
long story short i reset it (soft) first ........ no joy ...... then hard reset ..... when booting up it pings and makes a few sounds, so the speaker is obvisously working ....... then once reset its silent again ..... ???
But this is the really bizarre thing ..... if you plug it into the mains charger it all works fine, with loads of lovely sound !!!! ....
Ive made sure the sound is turned up to max and its not on silent etc btw
Time to read the forum i think ! ...... the only thing i did last week was unlock it ..... but its been working fine since then ?
cheers
Dave
next weird update !
after 2 days i have upgraded to the latest roms etc and the phone still had no sound .... i left it on charge for a full day overnight etc , still no sound ...... came to play with it this morning and there it is all working as good as new !!!! ...... lovely sound etc, all normal ......... go figure that one out ?????
Hello.
My dad brought home a Qtek 9100 from work which he found in his new office. The phone had a cracked screen in it, so I had to change the screen in order to get it working. Apparantly the guy who was working in his office before had tried to fix the phone, because four of the screws were missing.
But when I turn the phone on, after the HTC and the Qtek screen, the phone asks for a four digit password. I have not inserted any sim cards. It seems like it's som kind of phone lock code or something.
I'm a total newb and I don't know anything about Qtek phones like flashing etc.
Is there any way of removing this password, or a way to find out what the code is?
Do a hard reset
find the device specific forum for the 9100 and figure it out using the wiki or something
DO NOT make a new thread until you've thoroughly searched
welcome to xda-devs
I've read the wiki and faqs beforehand. Now, with that out of the way here's my issue. I need to either hard reset or reinstall a new rom on my t-mobile branded dash. Here's the constraints
1) left soft key doesn't work, but all other buttons do.
2) I can't activesync and I've never synced the phone to a computer before.
That's it.
I recently posted a couple questions because the phone got oil damage and wouldn't start up. Well... i fixed that, but for some reason when booted up, it automatically locked the keys. I would normally click left soft key and * , but of course... left soft key doesnt work. Therefore, a traditional hard reset won't work, and if it could, well... i'd just unlock my keys right. Since this was my mothers phone, i never needed to sync it and I tried syncing a few minutes ago and get nothing. That's probably because the phone is locked.
The phone is carrier unlocked and runs on att network.
Common guys... need your help on this one. Either a way to unlock to keys or a way to hard reset would be good... as long as the hard reset doesn't result in a fresh os that starts up with keys locked.
Look below and download the new 6.1 Rom and then navigate here on how to set up the rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225
Follow those instructions and it will work for you.
well thanks, but step 1 is not possible. In my original post, i mentioned that i can't sync because 1) the phone has never been synced before and 2) my comp, which already has activesync installed for my hermes, doesn't recognize the device in the usb port.
Yeah dude, can't even run the sda unlocker man. It asks to connect my phone. Whats up on an old school sd rom install.. oh yeah, that violates the first law.
So, there seem to be two rules. No left soft key and no activesync. HELP?
im me if you think you can help

remote hard reset
ATT says that they can remotely do a hard reset from their corporate fortress of pain and suffering. I will allow them to rape my data stream in an effort to free my soul of the keylock demons. I will have plenty of holy water... so don't you worry.
Maybe try a program like my mobiler or True Connect Pro. You could possibly put the cabs on your SD mini card and control your mobile thru your pc and clear your storage to hard reset. Your probably still going to need active sync but do your research just to be sure.
Honestly I think your phone is fubar. If you spilled some oil inside it and buttons are not working it's only a matter of time where more problems will occur.
Good Luck
your right... it had a good 2 week run after the oil spill. Now, even though yesterday it was charging and starting fine, today it wont charge or start. Oh well... i give up.. anyone need a new battery?
Hi there,
I 've been searching your and other sites for the last 10 hours - non stop- to find a secure way to 'application unlock' my htc touch hd, WM6,1.
I just switched to this phone, and find that many programs I used to run on my Ipaq 4700hx, now fail due to certificate problems. And I now understand that app unlock should do the trick. However little is being said about this new device.
Anybody ?
Cheers

Please
Could somebody please have a look at this; apparently I posted at an unfavorable time.

Hello Geert,
Same problem here! No solution yet. Spend already 20 hours on the net for finding something really working. I did a soft reset, uninstalled software, copied a cab by dragging it from PC to mobile SD Card ànd Root of the mobile, nothing worked!
Some suggest to do a hard reset, but i read already in some forums that that didn't work either. Maybe the unlockmethod is the rule. But how does it can that many haven't the problems we have? Is it they bought the HTC Touch HD from a store instead of getting it i.c.w. an abbo?
Hi,
I did the HTC Application unlock from here and I've never had a problem.
