Change MDA Vario to XDA Mini S

[Azz]

Hi all,

First post so be gentle.

Basically I want to turn my MDA Vario into an XDA Mini S so I can use my O2 sim.

I have read through some of the unlocking codes but it all looks a bit confusing. I would like the O2 screen instead of T-Mobile.

Any help really appreciated.

ROM version: 1.6.2.4 WWE
ROM date: 11/15/05
Radio version: 01.12.10
Protocol version: 4.0.13.23
ExtROM version: 1.6.2.105

TIA

Aaron

If you are confident in doing so, follow the instructions in the first sticky to unlock the sim and cid.

Then go to the upgrading wiki page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades select the rom you want, download and follow the standard flashing instructions.

You can get the latest o2 ROM from:-

I found it worked fine for the XDA Mini-S

If you follow what andy_morgan has said, then you can use your O2 SIM. I have a Cingular 8125 which after being unlocked allowed me to use an O2 SIM, Vodaphone (UK & Cyprus) and T-Mobile (Hungary). The only thing you would be missing is the O2 Plus software which can be had separately if you search the forum. It runs fine on my phone.

The site referenced by Garf asks for the IMEI and mobile number. It wouldn't surprise me if O2 aren't cross-referencing this to ensure it really is one of their mobiles.

Thanks for the replies.

Took a chance and attempted to unlock it last night, worked fine and I can now use my O2 sim.

What I want now though is no reference to O2, so its like it was originally an XDA Mini S.

Would flashing an O2 rom over the T-Mobile one do this?

Thanks again,

Aaorn
