Can someone please help me out my friend told me he got WM6 working on his T-Mobile MDA, and i'm using a 2.26 ROM I got from here a while back
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
He sent me : T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2261020_226_22511_ENG_US.exe
I ran this and apparently that's how I got the version i'm running now, I forgot which I had pervious, but I ran that, everything went smooth, it ran autoconfig etc, CID unlocked beforehand, and then i got CB-AIRAF.exe from here and then I ran it, it updated and completed, but when the phone boots up it is WM5.. it then says please wait 3 seconds to customize, then it puts up an error message reading "\Windows\AutoConfig.exe Not found" or something similar, and then that app closes, and the phone is bare bones WM5.. why the heck isn't Wm6 installing? it's very frustrating.. someone bare with me and help me figure this out i'd be greatly appreciated.
If it's easier to contact me via AIM.. my SN is Cynth3tik
You apparently aren't CID Unlocked. Do the CID Unlock procedure at the top of this forum. Then make sure you flash the official TMobile ROM again to get back to IPL/SPL 2.26. Then upgrade to teh Faria rom.
The official tmobile rom.. i'm not sure which that is or where i get it from.. is that the cooked tmobile rom file i have ?

That is the official TMobile US ROM, the one that is recommended as a baseline ROM.

ok i've done that now i can attempt to install the Faria rom ?
No. As I said, I think you are CID locked and thats why the update failed before. You now have to go through the steps of CID Unlocking. Please go to the top of this forum and find the Sticky by Dr. Putingham that is on how to CID Unlock your phone (title starts like [Read First]). Follow that step by step (line by line). Don't skip anything. You will downgrade, run a tool, downgrade again, and then upgrade back to this TMobile ROM. After all that, then you should be good to go for doing Faria's (or any other custom ROM). Once you CID Unlock you shouldn't have to do it again (unless you ever go back to a 1.x ROM at some point).
ok guys i followed the forum on how to unlock.. i installed the buttons rom, then CID unlocked, then put the official TMO rom on, then installe the Faria Crossbow, it worked !
BUT... the screen where it says tap the screen to set it up.. i tap it and it does NOTHING, as if its froze, i restarted it, same thing :-( any ideas?
EDIT: SRRY! i pulled the battery out and put it back in and it works! thanks for all the help guys!
Might anyone know why if i had a contact with a picture stored for them, i backed up/synced to Outlook 2007 before the upgrade to wm5, and outlook has the pics stored just fine, but when i sync with wm6, all my contacts sync except for ones with pictures...any ideas ?
Glad you made it to WM6, and able to figure out your issue with the screen.
As for pic contacts not sync'ing I'm not sure. I don't sync with outlook (I use SyncML with my company calendar) and my pic contacts all did fine that way from WM5 to WM6.
I have bought this old phone coz it costs less than other cellphones with Wi-fi. What I really need is to install or have Voip/sip in it. But browsing and searching for answers on how to put voip in it made me stumble on this forum
i've been reading these past few days and as I read on, I am learning something and also being more confused for all the terms and other stuffs.
I would appreciate if somebody could help me.
What I have is unlocked Cingular 8125 (using my own sim via a local network here in Saipan, USA) with the following:
WM5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14928.2.2.0)
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
I checked other posts and this page and found below which are not compatible with my device:
If your IPL/SPL numbers are in the form X.xx (i.e 2.26, 1.08, etc.) you have a G3
If your IPL/SPL numbers are in the form X.xx.xxx1 (i.e. 2.26.0001), you have a G4

Again, I only need to have voip/sip working so I can call my family in the PHilippines and Canada for free. But I think the ways to have it are so far from now so I would appreciate a lot of help you can give me.
By the way, I am a contract worker and dont have much money so I need to make this thing work and can't afford to pay for somebody who could do this for me.
Thank you so much.
ok,
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
"If your IPL/SPL numbers are in the form X.xx (i.e 2.26, 1.08, etc.) you have a G3",as your's is 2.25 it means X.xx,its a G3 device,so don't bother to read or be concerned about G4 devices,only read and follow the threads and procedures concerning G3 devices,it'll lessen the burden on your mind and make things more clear.
T-Mobile MDA G4 IPL&SPL.zip
AT&T 8125 G4 IPL&SPL.zip
Vodafone Qtek 9100 G4 IPl&SPL.zip
Orange SPV M3000 G4 IPL&SPL.zip
O2 XDA Mini S G4 IPL&SPL.zip
These are IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) for G4 phones,none of your concern.
Depending on your device and Carrier, download the appropriate Rom for your device:
T-Mobile MDA Official WM5 Rom
AT&T 8125 Official WM5 Rom
Vodafone Qtek 9100 Official WM5 Rom
Orange SPV M3000 Official WM5 Rom
O2 XDA Mini S Official WM5 Rom
All these are Official stock carrier Roms of different networks,they are all good for both G3 And G4 phones.they include IPL/SPL for both the devices.when flashed, will only flash those IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) concerning the specific device.These roms can safely be flashed equally both to G3 & G4 devices.
Ok,for setting up 'VOIP/SIP' check out this link below for instructions and appropriate setting :-

Thanks for your reply zabardast_1.
Noted and I will follow you in concentrating only G3 threads and procedures.
For now, my follow up question would be:

- if these are the official Roms, and I am using my 8125 thru a local carrier here (which is not included in the above list, although the phone is Cingular branded but unlocked), then which one should I use? The AT&T?
and....
what are the chances that my phone will be bricked if I wont be successful on doing this myself?

G3's are not that easy to get 'Bricked',its only if you flash G4 ipl/spl to a G3 phone,then there are bright chances of getting it bricked.
Secondly,all wizard phones are build by HTC with same hareware and features,regardless of vendors and cellular networks,it maybe cingular 8125,T-mobile MDA,Qtek 9100 or O2 Mini S,they all are of same build,hardware and features manufactured by HTC.You can flash any of the Roms mentioned but I wud prefer the AT&T 8125 Official WM5 Rom.The rom is the OS of the phone,it doesn't matter which local carrier you are using,its the sim of the carrier which is in use.You can easily flash a T-mobile rom on a At&TT phone or vice versa.Only the GPRS and other network settings differ from carrier to carrier.

I have a few more questions pls see ****
Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies (I've found this here at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies)
Intro
....
Audience
.....
Requirements
Computer with Windows XP ***Im running in Windows Vista so I will take a look at the other post. But Iknow that basically this procedure is almost the same, right?
...
Definitions
....
Procedure
....
However, before you start flashing, consider the following:
1. Is your device a G3 or G4 Wizard? If it's G4, Follow the G4 portion of the tutorial. If you follow the G3 tutorial you will effectively BRICK your phone. I'll tell you how to tell the difference between G3 and G4 below. ****my phone is G3 (as per your previous message)
2. Did you get your phone through a carrier (or is it carrier branded)? i.e. does your phone say T-Mobile or Cingular, or O2, or anything that identifies it as having come from a cell phone company? If yes, it's probably locked. As you now know, a SIM lock is different from a CID lock. We'll need to CID unlock your phone in order to flash WM6. ***** i bought it from ebay and right now, I am using SIM from a local network here so I guess it is SIM unlocked. So that means I only need to CID unlock?
3. Get the right IPL/SPL version. Most ROMs require BOTH IPL and SPL to be 2.xx. If you're at 1.xx, you need to take an additional step of flashing an official ROM. v(G3 Only step) ****my IPL/SPL is 2.25 and I need to use AT&T G3...zip, right?
4. Pick a ROM and flash it! **** AT&T or is this the WM6?
5. Enjoy your new functionality! **** I hope so.
6. Do additional stuff (install applications, change splash screens, and anything else you ask me to write about) *** I need the SIP/VOIP so my VOipcheap would work
1. Phone version (aka "Which guide do I follow if I don't want to have a brick?").....
If your IPL/SPL numbers are in the form X.xx (i.e 2.26, 1.08, etc.) you have a G3
........
2. Unlocking (CID and SIM) G3 and G4 Tutorials.
G3 ONLY!
(Credit to Dr. Puttingham for the walkthough which I used as a basis for this portion of the tutorial.)
..... Also, make sure that your phone is nearly fully charged(at least 75%), otherwise things may go loopy.***I will.
1. Download the Button ROM to your computer **** ok
2. Attach your Wizard to your computer using the USB cable. For the love of G-d, do NOT do this over bluetooth or IR. It will most likely not work, but if it does, all hell will break loose.
3. If you have ActiveSync, (****I dont. So if I download this ActiceSync, by default, there is no parnertship, right?) make sure there are no active partnerships with your device. With your device NOT plugged in, go into ActiveSync file->delete mobile device. Once you plug the device back in, cancel synchronization. Your wizard should be showing up in ActiveSync as Guest.
4. With your device connected to your computer as Guest, run the file that your downloaded. (****The Button ROM???) It's pretty much self-explanatory. Agree to everything, and let it do it's thing. It is downgrading your IPL to 1.05. You can only unlock your phone if the IPL is 1.xx, you can't do it if your IPL is 2.xx. (<- ****what do you mean by this? coz i have 2.25) Always have lots of patience. The 10 minutes to complete statement is a guide, if your computer is running at a 90% CPU load with 99% of your RAM full (which it shouldn't), expect this to take a lot longer. If it so happens that you get an error at 99%, try The Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe.
5. Once the flash is done and your Wizard is rebooted, it will display an IPL of 1.xx and an SPL of 2.xx.
6. Download Lokiwiz 0.2b.
7. Use Winzip or Winrar to extract the files to any folder on your computer(it is recommended you create a folder specifically for lokiwiz), DO NOT JUST COPY THEM! There is a directory structure inside the zip file, and this will not work if that directory structure is not maintained. This had driven me nuts the first time I did it, it was giving me all kinds of "file not found" errors. ***ok?
8. Copy enablerapi.cab from your PC to anywhere on your Wizard using ActiveSync. Remember not to create a partnership (make sure you're still connected as a Guest).
9. Go to your Wizard (***while it is connected to my computer???) and use the File Explorer to find the file you just copied. Click on it and install it to the main memory ("Device", not extended memory).
10. Back on your PC, open the folder you just created when you extracted Lokiwiz and click lokiwiz.bat. Another option if you feel comfortable is to extract lokiwiz 0.2b to your C Drive and then open up command prompt type in "cd C:" without the quotes. This should take you to your C:\ drive. Type lokiwiz.bat.
11. You will see the following:
U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)
Q. Quit
Unlock refers to SIM Unlock and CID unlock refers to...well. If you still don't know the difference, go back and read from the beginning.
1. Press U on your computer keyboard. lokiwiz will SIM unlock your phone and REBOOT. If it doesn't reboot, you did something wrong. Try again. The procedure may take a few minutes to complete, so if your Wizard doesn't reboot right away, don't freak out. ***do i have to do this?
2. Rerun the lokiwiz.bat file, this time pressing C. Wait for the Wizard to reboot.
3. While rebooting, keep an eye on the IPL/SPL numbers. If the IPL is 1.05, good. If they are both still 2.xx, rerun the button ROM (or the other ROM that worked for you). You won't need to re-unlock the device.It is recommended that you make sure you sucessfully flashed the button rom(or whatever rom worked for you) and your IPL is 1.05 before you SIM and CID unlock your device.
4. You have 2 options now. Once you have successfully CID unlocked your phone, you can either re-flash the Button ROM or whichever ROM you used to obtain matching 1.05 IPL/SPL(NOT REQUIRED) or continue to the next step which is to continue with the upgrade and upgrade back to IPL/SPL version 2.xx (yes, you need to downgrade then upgrade back...it's just what you have to do however time-wasteful it may seem). Everyone seems to like the T-mobile Official WM5 ROM (****I need to use the AT&T Official, right?) , so what the heck, I think you'll like it too. Flash it the same way you flashed the Button ROM (double click and go through the installation). Remember to have patience! Also, You should save the T-Mobile .exe file since you will need to flash back to that first every time you want to switch ROMs (again, no matter how time wasteful it seems, trust me, do it).
5. OPTIONAL STEP:: Once you have successfully CID unlocked your G3 device and have the T-Mobile Official WM5 ROM back on your device, you now have the option to upgrade to IPL/SPL 3.08. Upgrading to IPL/SPL 3.08 is just like flashing a tiny little ROM It will not change the functionality of the device whatsoever but will speed up the boot sequence a little. Any little bit helps right? You can Find the download link for IPL/SPL 3.08 HERE Just download the .rar file EXTRACT it to its own folder. <!-- DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THESE FILES TO ANOTHER FOLDER. There is a definite file structure that will be ruined if you copy and paste and it will not work. --> Run the Rom Update Utility (****how?) and again, follow the simple self explanatory steps to complete the upgrade and then your device will reboot itself. Keep an eye on the IPL/SPL when the device is rebooting. It should now be 3.08 for both and your device should now boot more quickly.
WM6 ROMs
Pick a WM6 ROM and flash it. Now that you have a good T-Mobile WM5 ROM with IPL/SPL at 2.26 (if one of them is not at 2.26, RE-FLASH IT!) or IPL/SPL 3.08, you're ready to install a WM6 ROM. This is where I have to step back. Due to forum politics, I cannot go ahead and suggest a ROM (neither can anyone else, and if you ask this on the forums, you will get flamed and your topic will be locked). Besides, the minute I suggest a ROM on this page, a better one will come out. All I can tell you is if you're after all the nice touch stuff (of course you are!), look at the ROMs that boast TouchFlo (TNT and ?BlackDiamond are just two examples). Go to the forum, under Wizard Mobile 6 (***I have to make sure that its AT&T, right?) and take your pick. It is like being a little kid in a candy store, the variety is so immense. The only advice I could give you from personal experience, is that ROMs with newer builds(higher build numbers) tend to have more bugs than the older builds(obviously, the builds that have lower numbers) tend to be more stable with less bugs. THIS IS NOT TRUE FOR ALL ROMS!! Some ROMs with newer builds are VERY stable with only minor bugs if any but I am not going to get into that. I would also suggest reading some of the discussion regarding the author's ROM to see what bugs there are (hint: all ROMs have bugs, the question is how many and what can you live with. A relatively minor bug for me may be a show-stopper for you). You flash this ROM the exact same way you flashed the button ROM and the T-Mobile ROM. Configure it to your liking and enjoy!
**** If this is successful, then I would go on and install voip/sip, right?
HOWA !!!
Long questionair,
Anyway ! just to a cut short,
1. WinXP is highly recommended for flashing and upgrading,with winvista,there are many problems.so I advise you to consider winXP.
2. ActiveSync 4.5 will not work on winVista,it only works on winXP,for Vista you'll have to download Windows Mobile Device (WMD).
3. YES ! its a G3 device(IPL/SPL 2.25),If its SIM unlocked,it might be CID unlocked too,its not essential,but maybe,as you bought a used phone from ebay.To verify if its CID unlocked,download the WST tool and run the "CID Action' button,it'll verify the CID locked/unlocked status of the phone.
4.If its CID unlocked,there's no need to downgrade by flashing 'Button's Rom 1.05 to 1.xx to unlock with lokiwiz02b,but if isn't cid unlocked,you'll have to downgrade it to ipl/spl 1.xx.
5. YES ! if its cid unlocked,you need ipl/spl 2.xx to upgrade to any wm6 rom,yes,you can use the official stock rom of at&tt,but T-mobile 2.26 has proved to be the most stable 2.xx rom and is highly recommended to upgrade to 2.xx for upgrade to wm6 as a good base.
6. NO ! there's no wm6 upgrade available for official stock AT&TT,you'll have to depend on latest custom build wm6 roms,which are avaiable in this forum.
Well,if you have to downgrade and CID unlock through lokiwiz02b,read and follow the guide by Dr.Putts.
Cheers!
follow-up questions ****
1. i will look for winxp
2. if i didnt find winxp pc here, i would have to do it thru vista
3. WST Tool? download it to my PC (with winxp) and connect my wizard?
4. ok. then i will follow the steps.
5. YES ! if its cid unlocked,you need ipl/spl 2.xx to upgrade to any wm6 rom,yes,you can use the official stock rom of at&tt,but T-mobile 2.26 has proved to be the most stable 2.xx rom and is highly recommended to upgrade to 2.xx for upgrade to wm6 as a good base.
(****so i dont need to upgrade coz i have 2.25??? or i still need a new official ROM like T-mobilie 2.26 so I can upgrade to wm6???)
6. NO ! there's no wm6 upgrade available for official stock AT&TT,you'll have to depend on latest custom build wm6 roms,which are avaiable in this forum.
***any wm6 will do, right?
thanks so much.
Hi there!
Im lost! I cant find a PC with WinXP that I can use
I think I will have to do it with Vista. And of course, I need to start all over again from the start on reading and learning.
Is this the right post for me? including the links to the stuffs I need to download? (coz I notice there's not much to download and not much stuffs like the button rom and the At&T rom and others).
I mean, considering that I have a G4 with IPL/SPL 2.25.
Please help.
