Help needed updating/repairing mda vario pleease

[didgeridooplayer]

Hello all,

I am really sorry for being a noob, and i am also sorry if this is answered elsewhere but i have looked and havent got a clue what im doing. I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario and am having all sorts of problems with it. I was told that if I upgrade my rom it should sort it out plus i also like the though of having WM6.
I have looked round the forums and it looks like i have a G4 device(IPL 2.21.0001). My current rom version is 2.21.2.6 wwe, radio version 02.19.11.
It has never been altered by myself and i have had it since new so it is not unlockedin any way.
Also i am running Vista on my PC.
Hope thats all the info you need.. Hope to hear back from some kind person shortly.
many thanks...Tim

what is you SPL, thats the important info. go to bootloader by completely turning off you phone (taking out battery, and putting it back in after about 10 seconds), and holding the camera button while you turn it on. It will say your SPL.
you have to first CID unlock you phone, BEFORE you install any custom ROM. im not sure if things have changed now, but as far as I know, the only way to CID unlock a G4 device is to pay for it, I don't think anybody has found another way yet. I think its about 40 US dollars. I think its at http://www.imei-check.co.uk after that, you can install special G4 ROMS. It has to be G4 safe, if you use a G3 ROM, you will ruin your phone.
IM NOT SURE ABOUT ANY OF THIS, it's just what I think.
