Default MDA Vario ROM

Hi guys

Just a quick question and I hope you guys can answer me.

I have got the MDA Vario with T-Mobile and have upgraded the ROM to 2.17.7.2 WWE (this is the Qtek Rom) and it works just great.

My question is, however, can I downgrade this ROM to the original T-Mobile ROM it came with?

I am wondering since I want to send the phone back to T-Mobile but am worried if they see I have upgraded it they will not take it back.

Please help.

Thanks kindly

You'll need to use lokiwiz to unlock the device and then reinstall the opriginal ROM. As you have an AKU2 ROM you'll need to downgrade the ROm first to an old custom QTEk ROM and then run lokiwiz to unlock then re-install the ROM. There s along post on this forum or the upgrade forum on how to do this. There are alos posts re putting the device back into it's original state if you need to ship it back to a vendor - can't find them just now but would suggest you trawl the forums... painful though it may be :)

Hey thanks loads. I have looked around to try and find how to restore everything but can't find it yet. I'll carry on looking but if you can suddenly remember where they are I'd appreciate it

Also, do I have to downgrade the QTek ROM first, or can I just install the T-Mobile ROM straight away?

Thanks again

Thanks JoninLA, the phone is unlocked using Loki already as that is how I upgraded the ROM, but I will make sure I have unlocked it and then install the original ROM from the T-Mobile site.

Thanks so much again, now I should be able to send it back, providing it all works...
