hi people,

you must download the Lokiwiz02b.zip on this forum

link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796

and do the SID unlock again and then it wil work

I have the same here with the same unlock tool,
my phone is a MDA VARIO and I want to set up the new Qtek Rom

I ordered the same phone (MDA Vario) from Netherlands a few days ago, still waiting for it to come.
It seems that what i feared the most happened: t-mobile upgraded Vario ROM to the latest release (>= 2.16 if i'm not wrong) and so it is no more possible to CID-unlock (or SIM-unlock) the device. Damn!!!
I'm italian and i don't speak Dutch so i really need to be able to both SIM and CID unlock my device or it'll be just a brick in my hands!

The only possible solution i can suggest is:

- Check your ROM version to see if it's a recent one (>= 2.x) or an older (1.x). If the latter is your case then do not follow next steps and read again lokiwiz thread and istructions. If, instead, you have a recent release (> 2.x) then read on.

- download an old dutch t-mobile ROM (find it here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/MDA_Vario_1060202_103_11210_TMNL_Ship.exe)
PS: if you're using a different model/country then download an old ROM (1.x) from your operator (O2, t-mobile, Orange, etc) in the same original device's language.

- install it (it should not require a CID unlock since it's an official t-mobile dutch release)

- CID (and SIM if you want) unlock your device (lokiwiz should work on an older 1.06 ROM as the one you just installed)

- Install the ROM (even an updated one) that suits you best.

- Last and most important: let us know if you succeded at it!!!

Bye, i really hope this solution works and/or you find a different solution. I think i'll have the same problem very soon!

YOU CANNOT REVERT TO THE OLD ROM.

YOU CANNOT REVERT TO THE OLD ROM.

YOU CAN !

Several people managed to do it, don't gonna look up the topics for you, but there not so old, so it can be easy to find and otherwise just use search ;)

[JoninLA]

Or you may find the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe QTEK ROM installs after which you can use lokiwiz

Glad it worked Faria, that custom QTEK ROM seems to be a universal cure if you need to downgrade for some reason.

First domload CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE. Rom from the ftp site from the above link, unpack it and just click the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe to start downgrading. Simply follow the prompts .
After the rom are loaded go thru the initial setup as you would with any rom .
Now download the (Lokiwiz02b) from below and follow the instructions .do not forget to copy the. cab file(enable rapi) to your device and run it before running Lokiwiz.
Now run lockiwiz and unlock your machine ,your machine will reboot itself.
That’s it your wizard is unlocked.

Thanks for help, this solved all my problems but one:

If i CID unlock and SIM unlock my phone (after installing Custom 1.5 WWE ROM) and then i install latest AKU2 I-mate Italian rom, will the SIM unlock (and CID one too) be preserved? Or will the upgrade set the simlock back on the phone?

Thanks,
Isidoro

IsidoroAs far as I know sim unlock only is needed once as for cid I DONT know but will find out this afternoon when I upgrade to thr latest I-mate rom an then gonna try to load the o2 rom again.as for you soon to be owner you problably just need to use the lokwiz tool because your new machine problably comes with the shipping room that is older as my 2 wizards did .they are only 3 weeks old.
Note;i-mate k-jam comes allready simunlocked from factory .

Thanks for your comment. I really hope that sim lock won't come back when i upgrade to the latest AKU2 rom.
As for the rom i will find in my Vario, i hope it'll be an older one (so i'll be able to use lokiwiz)!!!

Sim-unlock is needed only once as far as I know.
Furthermore I updated my Kjam (simunlock from factory) with the new english rom, then I downgraded to old Italian rom and finally I re-upgraded to Italian new rom without problems. I just do cid-unlock once.
