Lokiwiz worked for me both SIM and CID locks unlocked. CID unlocking lets you upgrade to a custom ROM. The inital T-mobile ROM on mine was slow and unstable.

Guest awarner (MVP) Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 The ebay advert will more than likely only be information taken from sites like xda developers. If you are unsure on how the technology works then the imei-check option may be worth doing if your network will not SIM unlock for you. If you feel you are willing to have a fiddle then the xda developers would save you money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, i have read with interest the unlocking thread, both here and on Pof's site, but was under the impression it was for the vario2 not vario? T-mobile are unlikely to sim unlock me as i have only just got it in a free upgrade 2 weeks since.......or are they? the only reason i want it unlocked is because one particular place i work, everynow and again has no t-mob signal , and the only network that works there is o2, for which i ahve a sim..... so, is there a cab file for unlocking the vario-wizzard- whatever it called?

Guest Tarmac_terrorist Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 bump! Hi, i did this yesterday with a UK T mobile vario I download Lokiwiz3a you need to unzip the files to the root of your pc (C:) and then make sure you have an active sync connection. it's relatively straight forward. you copy a cad file to the phone and execute it using the phones file manager. then you run a bat file on your pc. this will open up a dos window. when it's done it will give you a code. here's the readout form my exploits yesterday. machinagod's HTC Wizard/Prophet/Charmer MSL Revealer v0.3 NOW WITHOUT CID Unlocking POWER!
