I did an upgrade for my wizard and yes the CID was unlocked on my phone before going for my second upgrade...
[big edit]
Something went wrong, the updater attempted a second update which succeeded....
I only have these questions:
- Will the phone be working 100% or will I have some hik-ups because of the error I got during upgrading and then re-upgrading it again…?
- Did some of you had an error during an upgrade?
I can edit also!
Thank you
@Dr Puttingham
The topic start was indeed to descriptive, but it was something I needed to get off my chest albeit executed in a very poor way.
My sincerest apologies for that.
Very first time I ever tried to flash the ROM in my 8125 (was up to the latest Cingular release), it errored out on me. Didn't have any problems after doing it again.
Since then, I've CID unlocked and flashed to several different ROM's, right now running one of Summiters ROM's..
@sk0t
Thank you, good to know that future upgrading went without problems.
So far it has. And I've done a weird path of upgrading and downgrading and such.
Started @ 1.8. Upgraded to 2.5. Downgraded back to 1.8 (SPL stayed at 2.25). CID unlocked phone. Upgraded to 2.17. Now running a Summiter 2.3 (I think) ROM w/ the radio from 2.17.
So far so good.. I also keep wiping my extended ROM clean using Summiter's multi-installer. I find it's easier just to get rid of the damn thing. And if I really need something from the extended ROM, I just go nab an extracted one from the FTP.

Thank you for the big edits. As for your question, agreeing with sk0t, things should be better. I've felt it necessary to reflash a couple of phones a couple of times before I felt that they took the update. I've rebuilt many phones many times and have have learned to watch the IPL/SPL closely. If you really want to make sure that you're fully unlocked and upgraded, downgrade to the early Button 1.05 and then back to your 2.x watching your IPL /SPL.
Glad you got that off your chest btw, must have been a *****!
@Dr. Puttingham
Thank you for the extra info, I will do a re-flash in the near future while keeping my eyes on the IPL/SPL. (and thanks for your edit )
I also want to downgrade. I now have "Mr. Clean" AKU 2.3 ROM installed. I only have problems with it. So you suggest to go back to 1.05 or 1.08 and then to 2.21?
I have read that this maybe can brick your device. I have a mda vario.
(I already have tried to downgrade to the dutch t-mobile rom 2.21 directly. The setup fails when it restarts my vario, nothing serious. It's already CID unlocked.)
I just upgraded to the cing aku2.3.
I originally had the imate kjam 2.16.9.
Now my device is showing...
rom version:2.16.9.1 wwe
rom date:2/6/06
radio version:02.25.11
protocol version:4.1.13.12
ext rom version:2.25.11.102
Now it appears to me that I really haven't upgraded my rom, while everything else has changed.
What in the world did i do wrong? I simply did the sim unlock and cid unlock and the used the aku 2.3 installer program, and chose the number one selection which included the bootloader.
What am I missing?
Has anyone seen this issue before?
What can I do to resolve the issue?
I apologize for the newbie questions....
i encountered the exact same thing, i just switched back to the moslki 2.26 rom, no big deal to me
@ironbear - I'm afraid you never actually upgraded your phone. If those little numbers don't change then it's no go....
I keep meaning to make this part of my signature ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848
Good luck!
and that is why i went back to my favorite Molski 2.26 rom
Well...
I thought I had unlocked my CID several times before. I got the same message and result as I did when I used Faria's tutorial this last time. And low and behold it WORKED!
I successfully upgraded everything now thanks to that tutorial. I guess starting from scratch in essence did the trick!
Thanks everyone for your help!
i had done the unlock along time ago.. but still my device never upgraded to 2.3... oh well, the molski rom kicks a$$
DUE to the first thread been turned into another unlocking one I had no choice but, to close the project.
But I feel that it is unfair to the people that respect my work an appreciate it.
The response to the rom has been overwhelming!!!! I never see this kind of response to a rom since the blue angel days
once again this thread been trashed with crap.rom is no longer available.next realease is pending.got better things to do with my time.plus time job is takeing most of mine time now and with x-mas coming,gonna get worst. when im ready i will contact the testers.no more tester are neede at the moment.
if you experience power-ups with push email folow.this;
now for users that have the device powering up when push email activated,i have been doing some testing;
i setup my push email [web2mail]
now i have setup the device security with a password,so when it comes from stand-by,will ask for it,
then a setup devicee lock in batterie status to also lock the device [see pictures]
what can i say i works fine.
when i receive an email from my server ,it notefys-me with the email sound ,but the device does not power up as reported.
now when the device lock time out is up,the device wakes up to lock itself
and the powers down in 1-2 seconds -this is normal in this rom atleast.
how to the date in the top right corner ?
use registry wizard[included in the rom] to remove the date or time
to use default clic sound download the file below
remove the .zip from the file name as it's just a cab...thanks dr.p
whats is in my rom?
unlcoking problem
people don't get it and it is really easy to unlock CID if they really follow the threads that there are. This thread says it clearly what u do and it is really easy to do it. Most of the people have update tool problem they can solve that with wizard_ROM update utility_noID file on the FTP site of the XDA. They can just put it to the unpcaked faria RC1 file and run it after unlocking CID. Two steps simple and cristle clear !!

Just wanted to thank you for everything so far. Loving the ROM and will continue to provide Beta feedback as much as possible.
hey faria, awsome job i wish i had half your skills. your latest rom has been exeptional, the only issue i had was when i overclocked it the screen would intemitently turn on, oh and the battery meter never went below 57%. any help or sugestions would me much appreciated.

LOL! So you will select us according to whether or not we have something intelligent to say. Well, I am about to put your 8mb rom on my MDA (right now using the RISIDRO rom loaded on top of the t-mobile official 2.26 rom) and will let you know what I think. I will be sure to say something smart. I will just blow you away with my intelligence and technical prowess.
I would like to see some articles on the page-pool size thing though. That's a new one to me. Check my post in the original thread (#419). Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? I can only find how-to's and not any reasons as to why one would do this...
So uh ... how do I unlock my phone? I did not get any keys. Are they on the stylus somewhere? I gotta go download a computer.
Portuguese Support
I faria since i`m new in this all new stuff of cooked rooms and extended roms etc; all that i can do is asking how can i help you on your journey, just tell me how i can donate you something for you to continue the great job that i have the oportunity to see in this forum i will be pleased to help with anythig to honor your Portuguese contribute to the XDA, continua o bom trabalho e ficarei a aguardar pelo "lançamento" da tua nova room EXCELENTE TRABALHO.
well I told you I would let you all know if there was a difference that I noticed between the 8mb and 12 mb with the voicemail issues and in-call issues.
with the 12, sometimes in a call, buttons would become usless and had to soft reset to hang up. same thing with the 8.
with the 12, voicemail icon would not go away after voice mail deleted. havnt seen that with the 8 yet.
other than that, speed is good in both, and everything works like a charm.
Jeb
I hope your donations will provide you with at least the ability to take a night off and go to dinner or maybe get a massage to help you forget the newbie questions. I will be sending a donation as well. You have provided an outstanding ROM that has rivaled (and beaten) multi-m(b)illion dollar companies core and "upgrade" roms.
To all those that wish to ask newbie questions, leave faria's threads dedicated to the enhancement and ultimate release of one of the best ROMS for a PPC phone alone.
The least you could do is create your own thread and post your questions there.
I hope I may be considered for future testing granted my moderately new questions have not been classified as non rom related. If so, I will go study some more and apply to faria U at a later time
G4s and the ROMs
Faria, I think I am onto something here. From what I am reading in the posts, and from what you and I discussed the other day about my extended rom not loading correctly, I think and G4 with IPL/SPL ABOVE 2.17.0001 have a greater degree of security. Again, reading the posts in your other thread, it seems a handful of G4 owners could indeed install your rom fully, while the other half would only get the OS. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am starting to see a pattern.
First and foremost I would like to thank Jose for all the time and effort that he put into making this great rom. If and when you come to NYC I am taking you out and getting you twisted VIP style! But enough ass kissing and lets get to bussiness.
I have had very minor issues.
The mms did not work for me with the settings that I had from tmobile USA. I did get them to work when I got some of the settings cabs from the 2.26 custom extended rom. I did run the auto config that was included to set the network settings.
After installing all the software extras that was included to check how they worked, I have not been able to keep the phone off. When I say off I mean the backlight staying off when nothing is running. I have tried using the XP feature to turn the light off but it doesnt keep it off either. This could be something that I did so I may just reflash and install everything one by one to see where the problem comes from.
I also have noticed some signal problems but I think that was more of me installing those cabs from the 2.26 rom
Any help is appreciated.
one issue i have noticed is right before the device wakes up it white screens for 2-3 seconds then loads the today screen.. i dont know if this is a issue as i have not seen it really affect anything but i figured id let u know.

error dialog box poped up with :"/Windows/autoconfig.exe doesnt exist"
,the only thing i could do is to choose "ok".The device restarted and
what i find after that is a new OS 2.26.10.2 without the EXt_ROM.
I downloaded both 8MB and 12MB pool versions but it gives me
the same result for both.
Please help me me on :
1.How to correct those problems.
2.How to upgrade my SPL and IPL to the newest versions?I stay the same(2.25) even when i upgraded the device to 2.26.
Thank you very much for any help.
Was your phone CID unlocked prior to the install? It seems that you have a G3 so the other thread on unlocking should have been done first. (You may have done this prior to another ROM but I am to tired to think about that...) Good luck!

Urgent helps needed!
So i bricked my Cingular 8125!
I just wanted to upgrade my ROM to the newest AKU 3.2 from Faria.
I did ungrade and errors arised as i described above.
I was told that the fone hadn't been CID unlocked.
I did as what described in lowikiz
-downgrade the rom,
-run enablerapi.cab on my device
-run lowikiz 0.2b
-choose CID unlock
Restarted the fone, what i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.25
GSM 2.47.11
OS 3.0.0
There're only two things fulfill me,that's GSM and the OS.I wanted the
IPL and SPL should be 2.26 or later version.
What i did then :
-Downgrade again (hoping that i forgot to SIM unlock)
-run enablerapi on my device
-run lowikiz 0.2b
-choose unlock
And when the fone restart.
What i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.x.x
OS 1.05.x
when the installation completed, i upgraded the ROM again to AKU3.2
everything went smoothly until it finished.The fone restarted and what i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
<blank, no GSM version, couldnt believe that>
OS 3.0.0.0
the device kept running until the installation completed.
It restarted again and stopped running.What i can see now is just
nice background and blinking (waited for nearly 15 mins but no futher responses)
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
OS 3.0.0.0
It couldn't get further.
I think i bricked my Cingular 8125.
So could you helpers, experienced users help me with that?
Can i fix it?Or can HTC fix it?
Thank you very much!
Hello faria. I said eariler that this was a great rom. I think i have found a minor annoyance, i wouldn't call it a bug. It is related to spb time at least I'm pretty sure it is. I get the calnot.exe error every now and again and the cannot locate the spbtime.exe on reset. Its strange everything still works as it should. I think someone else had this problem in the other thread. I thought is was because spb time was loaded on the mem card and the fact that windows is sometimes late in loading it. So my next step was to move it to the sys mem. Same problem, I guessing it is on spb to fix this. I was probably not designed to work well with aku 3.2. Other than I that i could not find any real problems, except one time i uninstalled spb time and i oculd no longer sync. easliy fixed by hard reset no prob. I'm using 12mb pool. I also used your registry tweak program and set all the cache to the highest settings. Do you think that is a bad idea for this pool size. Have noticed some slow down in performance i don't know if the two are related.
thanks for the great rom again man!!

nice try.but no dice
well, it had been awhile since i upgraded my phone, since i havent been using it as much because the signal was too weak at home, so i switched phones. now i wanna switch back and forth as needed. so, i downloaded to the button rom, then upgraded to faria's 3.3. as you see, i missed a step. upgraded after buttons to something else. so, this is what i have now...
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.12.10.0
OS 3.3.0.0
i think i missed the step since finding the roms are harder since they've been pulled from the ftp, and rapidshare sucks if you dont have a premium account.
so, what i need to know is the best/easiest way to fix this. do i need to roll everything back and start over, or do i just need a certain rom to fix it. if there is a recommended one, can i get the full name so i can google for it. i'm not looking for someone to hold my hand, just let me know the file names so that i can find them.
thanks.
btw, my service is att in case it matters.
I believe you just need to flash an official ROM such as T-Mobiles 2.26 and it will upgrade your IPL/SPL for you and then you can flash whatever ROM you want to.
Yes, just upgrade to a ROM that is with IPL, SPL and Radio, or just get a updater that only have IPL, SPL and Radio then flash in bootloader mode.
Hello All Developers,
It's my 1st time yo post a new thread, well thats because i always found the answer in either the subject or the answers. Yet, for problem in hand, I cant find any thread with it included.
I bought a G3 Wizard, and I fell in love with it, this is not new, i fall in love with all my mobiles and PDAs.
I have a Himalaya too which is much more simple than Wizard regarding upgrading. and here we go
I followed the instructions in the sticky thread titled:
[READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards
I found it very helpful. I followed mainly the FARIA version too, i was reading the 2 threads in parallel to double check my understanding.
it all went great .. till the IPL/SPL upgrade step, i followed my guess that i dont need to go though the 2.26 ROM to update afterwards to 3.08. so i upgraded to 3.08 and all went well.
the next was to upgrade to any WM6.1 versions. and for my sorrow, all of them failed to update.
the failure it self was a piece of art. after the completion of the update taking its 10 mins, it just hard reset my device. no new rom is installed.
my guess was, go back to 1.05 and go to 2.26 instead of 3.08
i did that and found my IPL/SPL changed from 3.08/3.08 to 1.01/3.08 even though the rom is supposed to have both of them equaling 1.05
ignoring this fact "an error i'll regret soon" i tried to upgrade to any WM6.1 ROM and voalla
I BRICKED MY BELOVED WIZARD.
yes thats right, it stuck at 98% and sowed a failure message. allowing me only to follow the recovery steps. and i got this 4 strips screen (i'm counting the white strip too)
any way, after trying with different roms, different uti upgrading file, all reached the point of failure.
so, i kinda lost hope, and removed the batt, the SIM and left the device like this for 4 hours or even more.
i returned from work, and prayed to god to help me. i cant live without my beloved Wizard.
and the only thing i could do was to try to install the button 1.05 rom again. i tried b4 the 4 hours break, and it failed just like the others.
i dont know how but while praying , the mobile continued to flash the rom and booted completely!!!
now, after this story, here is my current status,
IPL/SPL = 1.01/3.08
ROM : button 1.05
additional info: i'm afraid of trying to upgrade to WM6 or WM6.1,may be i get it bricked for life this time!!!!
should i use WST to restore my old IPL/SPL?
what can i do to use WM6 or 6.1?
thanks for taking time to read this thread, i appreciate it
Try to install an official rom from cingular or t-mobile and then try to upgrade to wm6.1

Perhaps! your phone is still CID locked and you upgraded to 3.08,sometimes,while downgrading from 3.08 to 1.xx,spl freezes at 3.08,now try to upgrade back to 3.08 and downgrade first to 2.xx by flashing the official rom and then downgrade to 1.xx.
or,download the latest version of WST 4.2.2 and check the CID lock/unlock status,if its still locked,you can try to CID unlock with WST 4.2.2,its seen,it sometimes performs the CID unlock with different SPL other then 1.xx,atleast one user did report this successful.
