I had previously upgraded my MDA to 2.21 without problems. Now I'm trying to upgrade to the cooked 2.24 rom, but I keep getting update errors. I can't even downgrade. I have SPL 2.21. Am I correct in understanding currently there is no free software that can CID unlock SPL 2.21 so that I can update? Should I have unlocked before I upgraded to 2.21?
After finally deciding to upgrade to WM6, I had trouble getting it working. The crossbow installer finishes, but everything is still WM5.
After some searching I found these directions:
- Downgrade to Button's 1.05 ROM
- Reset and watch the IPL/SPL in the bootscreen to make sure both are version 1.xx (CID Unlock is only possible when your IPL/SPL are of version 1.XX)
- Unlock your phone ( CID UNLOCK ) with lokiwiz app or aWizard
- Install Tmo's latest 2.26 ROM so you have a good 2.26 IPL/SPL to work with, since the WM6 rom hasn't IPL/SPL included
- Install this WM6 Crossbow ROM
BUT I CANNOT FIND THE 1.05 ROM!!! Or even the Tmob 2.26 ROM which is even taken down off of their website. Are there any mirrors on freehosts anywhere? I'm sure I'm not the only one having this problem.

Well, it depends on the Gx version of the phone you have. Also, the TMo ROM is on TMo's website.

Yea I found the Tmob ROM and am trying risdoro's method of editing the ROM. It is a G3. Still not having much luck. I found an old link of the 1.05 ROM here:

Hi all. Tried and tried in vain, to replace the T-mobile splash screen, only to find out that the phone is CID locked.
Managed to upgrade to WM6 though, thanks to vlodeck and nocturne.op.15
Here's the phone details:
IPL: 2.06
SPL: 2.06.0000
GSM: 02.19.21
OS: 10.2.0.8 (WM6 by vlodeck & nocturne)
Oh, and also worth mentioning, my PC is running on Vista Ultimate, on which RUU's don't work. But some people said that if I install VMWare Virtual PC and install XP on that, RUU works through it.
So, how to unlock CID of this phone?
Wish I knew!
I'm in the same boat, so please can someone advise, thanks.
to cid unlock to need a ver. 1.xx of ipl/spl. And seeing you have 2.xx you cant really downgrade to ver.1.x
but can you told me whats rom have ispl ipl 1.x??
ok so saying you have ipl 1. what ever how do you cid unlock?
ftp://[email protected]/Up...er_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship.rar
will have ipl and spl ver 1. wherever you can get to install or not, might work with a noID ruu. then you can use lokiwiz2 to unlock the CID
There are rom versions that have 1.xx IPL and SPL but from my own experience I know, that once you upgraded to 2.xx or more, you cant get back to 1.xx. The most you can get is 1.xx IPL and 2.xx SPL.
Cheers,
vlodeck.
So, What ROM we must flash? To have 1.xx IPL and 2.xx SPL?
Maybe offtopic, but I have another question: If I have ROM from ERA GSM POLAND can I flash AKU3.3 TMobileUK ROM?
Charmer community is so small.... ;(
adexxx, you misunderstood me. You can't get 1.xx IPL and 1.xx SPL once you've already upgraded to 2.xx.
If it's an official ROM then you can flash it no problem. If its a custom ROM, use the tool I described in WM6 charmer thread.
When I tried to update with RUU: RUU_Charmer_38221_382127_026921_TMO_HR_WWE_Ship it showed error: INVALID VENDOR
What I'm doing wrong?
use wizard noID upgrade utility. it's some around here, maybe even in charmer forum.
OK, I flashed and it works fine.
Now I have 3.0 IPL&SPL, my 1st splash was changed.
[offtopic end]
I just unlocked my T-mobile MDA phone to start flashing. Plenty of tutorials on how to unlock the phone to flash but none on actually installing the OS.
Was trying to download TNT.

I'm finding .cab files and nk.nbf, but not a clue as to how to flash it onto my phone.
Is it even safe to go from 5.0 to 6.1? I got IPL 2.21 and SPL 2.21 on my phone without any problems. Any info on where to start to get 6.1 loaded on my phone would be appreciated.
Ok, as you say its a G4,it cannot be CID unlocked,but you can upgrade it through 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL'.read about them in the G4 sub-forum posted as stickies .
BTW,whats the exact IPL/SPL,you posted 2.21 only,or is it 2.21.0001 ?

Hello Forum
Hoping people can assit me with a issue i am having with upgrading my G4 Wizard to WM6
My G4 was on a T-Mobile ROM, which i then upgraded to the latest T-Mobile ROM which changed my IPL/SPL to 3.08 when before it was on a 2.XX.
I tried to upload a WM6 ROM when the flush just stalls on the boatloader and onscreen its shows that the ROM images is not compatiable etc...
i then flushed the ROM to a WM5 custom ROM which i found on the formum but searching for 3.08 ROM and tested and worked.
I then tried a WM6 ROM and still having issues, hoping someon can shed some light on this issue i have. I have checked the forums for this issue, but seem to be hitting a brick wall, and hoping someone may be help me kick the wall down.
PS this is my first thread, as i am a newbie,I have read about the different ROMs and how to flush a ROM, and how to check if the wizard is CID/SIM unlocked
Unlocked CID and SIM
IPL:> 3.08.001
SPL:> 3.08.001
GSM:> 02.69.11
OS:> 2.26.10.2
much appricated...
First, check again if your IPL/SPL version ends with 001 not 0001. If it is .001, then it is a G3, not G4.
If it is a G3, flash Button's ROM and use Wizard Service Tool to CID unlock it.
Or if it is a G4, flash with your original stock ROM and install HardSPL.
