I know I'll get replies like "search the forum" or "already been discussed in that and that thread".. after searching and reading a whole lotta threads I am still confused! I dont know much how this thing works. I just want a simple answer what should I do to upgrade my T-Mobile Mda Vario from WM5 to WM6.

This is what I get when device boots:

IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.0001
GSM 02.19.11
OS 2.21.2.6

This is what "About" says;

Microsoft Windows Mobile Version
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)

Processor: OMAP850-195MHZ
Memory: 44.04MB
Expansion Slot: In Use

Device Information says:

Radio version: 02.19.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: 2.21.2.109

Hardware:
CPU: OMAP850
Speed: 195MHZ
RAM Size: 64MB
Flash Size: 128MB
Flash Chip Type: M-systems
Data bus: 16 bits
Storage Size: 42.55Mb

I read about CID locks but I think mine is unlocked as I never experienced any kind of restrictions or what so ever, using it on other network than T-mobile and never had any trouble.

Found this link somewhere;

Will it work? If yes, how? If not what should I go for? There are lots of ROMS and versions available here on this forum with different specs and addons. Which is most stable one for my device?

I know I sound noob but thats the way it is! I've been through many threads but still cant get them. Hope you guys will help!

HTC Wizard SoftSPL (sSPL) For G4 Wizards

G4.4 Is your device CID-unlocked (note: it's not the same as SIM-unlocked!)? YES... go to step G4.7, NO OR DON'T KNOW go to step G4.5. (note: CID-unlocking a G4 is only possible by paying for it at imei-check!)

What does it means? Cant I CID-unlock a G4 without paying at imei-check? Dont tell me I got it right!

Yes! you cannot CID unlock a G4 phone free as G3,but however,it can be upgraded to any wm6 Rom free by other methods called 'SoftSPL' and 'HardSPL',you can read about them in the G4 forum as 'Stickies' or check out the following links:-

Read carefully and do the method correctly.
