I just upgraded a Tmobile Wizard to this ROM:
T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2241010_224_22511_ENG_US.exe
found in:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/xelencin/archive/
I have heard issues with the 2.26 so I chose this one to be the most stable.
my question- after a hard reset will the 2.24 stay put or will the phone revert back to the original 1.8 version? I think it should stay 2.24 but i just want to make sure. thanks!
**EDIT**
also, after reset it seems everything went well, but on the startup it displays this information:
ipl 1.08
spl 1.08
gsm 01.09.10
os 1.8.10.2
is this normal?

I am having a weird problem. I am unable to reflash back to the stock cingular 2.25 rom you get from the htcamerica.net site. Here's what happened. First of all I started off with
ipl 2.25
spl 2.25
GSM 2.25
OS 2.25
I was interested in istalling Faria's Aku 3.2 rom, So I downgraded to CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE then I ended up with
ipl 1.01
spl 1.01
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
Then I CID unlocked the phone with lockwiz 02b. Then I installed Molski's RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2, which gave me
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
All seem to go well when I saw molski's flash screen, and his ext rom installed. But I was skeptical when I saw the GSM and OS still at 1.12.10, and 1.5.4.2 respectively. Anyways, I figure thats the way it should be. So then I tried to Flash Faria's FARIA-HTC-WIZARD -3.2-RC1-8MB, but nothing installed but the flash screen. The ext rom tried to installed but ended with a "windows cannot find autoconfig.exe" error. After several attemts I gave up and try to reflash back to the stock 2.25 Rom, and I am getting a "Upgrade error, invalid nbf file." Well something like that. Anyways, after several attempts, its a no go.
So what do I do from here. Do I start over with the downgrade rom and make sure that it was CID unlocked then start over again, or is there a step I am missing.
Ok, I figured it out. Finally. Apparently lockwiz 2.0 didn't CID unlock the device correctly, so I tried using lockwiz 2.0b and it Correctly CID unlock the device. I have finally been able to flash Faria's AKU 3.2. Yippeeeee.....
When I had flashed over to Summiter's Cingular AKU 2.3 + CF2 Test 2 package, I had let it do the upgrade and came back after the installation of the image finished with the phone rebooted.
I never got a chance to glance at the boot-up screen until just a moment ago and noticed that the IPL and SPL read as the following...
IPL: 2.24
SPL: 2.26
My phone is CID Unlocked and also SIM unlocked from the downgrade/lokwiz/upgrade/flash tutorial and in addition I do know that Summiter has not been around. I just wanted to see if anyone out there is using Summiter's ROM and noticed this.
I have just reflashed to Molski's Clean ROM and the IPL & SPL now read 2.26 for both, in fears of the phone bricking for those wondering.
What's your question?
Hi Miata. I'm not quite sure what you are asking.
I was just wondering if anyone is using Summiter's Cingular Clean ROM and if they are... Did they notice that the IPL and SPL are different?
I wouldn't want anyone else to brick their phones.
The last custom rom I used was the same Summiter rom. I went directly from that rom to Molski's 30 MB Rev 3 Rom on my CID/SIM unlocked G3 8125 with no problems.
my current numbers
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GMS 02.47.11
OS 2.26.10.2
All with no problems
After upgrading to Molski's 30mb Clean ROM, my IPL and SPL fixed themselves thankfully to 2.26. Just trying to double check if I was seeing things or not, because it would be a shame for someone to brick their phone just simply because they need the Cingular settings in a custom ROM.

If you just needed the Cingular GPRS and MMS settings you can get that in any rom... There are threads that have all of the Cingular settings integrated into CAB files.
See HERE
Page 1 has the MMS settings files, Page 3 has the GPRS/EDGE settings files
I downloaded Viet4 and run upgrade, on welcome screen on PC during upgrade it does not correctly detect my Wizard and shows as ROM 1.0.0 and for new version it says only blanks.
After upgrade device just boots to previous version of the ROM (2.26). What am I doing wrong?
Let me be the first one to say it before someone else does... Read the Wiki
Joking aside, you need to give more info such as do you have a G3 or G4? Did you CID unlocked your device? The error you have given usually meant that your device is CID locked.

sounds like you didn't CID unlock before trying to flash a rom that didn't come from your carrier.
and the upgrade tool will not have the right info in those fields. If your phone is unlocked the upgrade will work properly. Make sure you use the correct procedure based on whether you have a G3 or G4 phone.
I have G3 device
I have Qtek 9100 which was never locked of course. Then I installed ROM and radio upgrade with versions below
ROM version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
ROM date: 6/7/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
Hardware:
CPU:OMAP850
Flash chip type:M-Systems
What do I do now?

What is your IPL/SPL. And how do you know it was never locked? Have you personally unlocked it? Have you ever flashed any rom that was not from your carrier successfully?
If you have a G3 (ipl/spl 2.26/2.26) then I suggest following the full unlocking tutorial thread that is stickied. Trust me your phone is acting like a locked phone. If you haven't personally unlocked it then just humor us and do this. You will be amazed at the results.
If you have a G4 (ipl/spl 2.26.0001/2.26.0001) then you will have to use the pay website to unlock your phone. There is no other known way to unlock G4 devices at this time.
I assume since it was bought in Russia and branded as Qtek 9100 then it was not locked. Is it possible that ROM upgrade to Cingular ROM actually locked my phone?
SPL 2.26/2.26
I going through downgrade right now and then do CID unlock. Do I have to do SIM unlock as well? How do I know if device is unlocked?

SIM unlock will allow you to use any sim from any carrier without getting an invalid sim error. If you aren't getting this error already you should be ok not doing it but it doesn't hurt to do it since you are in there with Lokiwiz already.
The tutorial tells you to do the SIM unlock first then do the CID unlock.
once you are completely done don't forget to flash up to a 2.x rom (2.26 T-Mobile rom suggested) before flashing a custom rom.
At this point when you flash the custom rom your OS and possibly GSM will change (IPL/SPL may change if you use a rom that includes them)
You should be good to go once the CID unlock process is done completely.
I used Unlock and CID Unlock, both went fine. Now IPL 1.01 SPL 2.26 OS 1.5.4.2.
Do I need to upgrade to 2.X before upgrading to WM6 or I can run upgrade the way it is now? Do I need to upgrade IPL (whatever it is to 2.26 as it was before?)
THanks,

Right now you need to install the button rom again to get both IPL and SPL to 1.05. At that point you can flash back up to 2.26 and then to a custom rom of your choice.
The reflash of the button 1.05 rom is to ensure that you are truly unlocked. you will see that both IPL and SPL go to 1.05 -- this is good
The flash to a carrier 2.x rom is so that you have a good 2.x bootloader and don't inadvertantly flash a 2.x rom without bootloaders into 1.x bootloaders which will cause all kinds of issues.
Yes, you must flash a full 2.x rom before flashing the wm6 rom. The T-Mobile 2.26 is the recommended rom as it has the latest bootloaders available.
Then you go to the rom of your choice and enjoy
I know it's a pain in the behind but it is tried and true
Thanks,
This worked. The only issue now after I installed WM6 it starts installing some T-Mobile crap which appears belongs to 2.26 ROM I installed before. How can I clean install of WM6 without any T-Mobile stuff?
Thanks,

Might have to flash a rom that has an empty extended rom before going to the one you went to. My guess is that the rom you flashed did not include an extended rom and when you flashed it the customizations ran from the previous roms extended rom since it was still there.
Faria's 3.3 v2 has a settings chooser menu so you can select settings for whichever network you are on but that only sets up MMS/GPRS stuff, and doesn't install any carrier specific apps.
Never mind, I recovered using some old iMate ROM. The problem now is that iMate ROM updated SPL/IPL to 2.16 while I had 2.26 for both before. Is it ok to run with 2.16 or there might be some issues? What is SPL/SPL are used for?

2.16 should be fine. It is 2.xx and that is what really matters.
The issue that some people encounter is flashing an AKU2 or higher ROM into 1.xx bootloaders and have all sorts of issues, phone won't charge, radio doesn't show up, pda works but phone doesn't, battery drains quickly and no way to recharge, etc.
How can I upgrade my Radio ROM to 2.19.11?
I'e got:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.12.10.0
OS 6.0.0.1
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Choose one from below, then flash it directly.
T-Mobile-NL_2.19.11_Radinly
T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly
Tried that but then my GSM was gone... no Radio whatsoever... Any ideas?
Thanks.
Did you unzip the folder and run ROM update? If you did then the problem is you need to upgrade to IPL 2.26 & SPL 2.26
It's because you have a 1.xx IPL and SPL. The only way that it is going to work is if you upgrade your ROM. You're going to have to upgrade the whole thing cuz if you would just upgrade the IPL/SPL to 2.xx to make the GSM work then the OS wouldn't.
OR download latest official carrier Rom AKU 2 version,to upgrade to IPL/SPL2.xx,than upgrade to Radio 2.19 if he doesn't want to opt for unlocking and upgrade
Thanks for the replies... just one last question, if I upgrade the whole ROM to IPL/SPL to 2.xx will the XDA remain unlocked (SIM & CID)?
Thanks.
Yes it will, unless the ROM contains a CID but I don't know of any that do. I know for sure that the T-Mobile ROM doesn't since it's the one I always flash back to before flashing a newly cooked WM6 ROM.
Hi,
I have a O2 Mini S with black diamond 3.1 installed i would like to upgrade my IPL SPL from 1.05 to 3.08, I am asking this as some time back i had upgraded my radio rom to 2.71.xxx & had to reinstall the OS again after doing so..
any helps appreciated.
Thanks in advance
for me, the following worked:
- downgraded to WM5 AKU2 according to the description shown in all WM6 release threads
- updated the thing with the latest T-Mobile update
- re-flashed the OS partition (via pdocwrite.exe, you can use "shelltool" or whatever other names they gave for their wrappers). but the typho5/nb2nbf couple just does as well. only remember to leave out the unnecessary ipl/spl and not to flash the G4 one by accident. or leave out those entirely, it wont harm since you should already have a 3.08 SPL (and probably IPL) at that point.
