we all know that for wizard we got 2 type of chips here ( G3 and G4 ). For me i really don't know which is better or even which one is newest. why it got 2 types here? and also what the different between two of them...
Someone maybe can tell me or for others that dont know about it....

G3 and G4 are the chipset used in the Wizard.
G3 Wizards uses a bootloader (IPL/SPL) like 2.xx
G4 Wizards uses a bootloader (IPL/SPL) like 2.xx.0001
Do NOT try to flash a G3 rom on a G4 device and the other way around, you'll wreck your bootloader and will BRICK your Wizard after the 1st boot.
I preffer a G3 Wizard myself, because G3 Wizards can be CID unlocked (if they have an 1.xx IPL/SPL), G4 Wizards cannot be CID unlocked yet...

I read your previous posts, where you almost bricked your phone on both occasions, if this is your next trial.........
Read trough all the last posts concerning G4, like search: G4.
Or maybe it's simpler to just drop your phone
answer to your questions: no, yes, because there are G3 and G4 phone's, why.
search: G4 = no result ??? don't understand why ????? you can try yourself !
i've broked my wizard before and had a big chance because iv got annother one from the provider but the new one is a G3 not a G4 as the first
i know it because i haven't the 0001 after IPL 2.21 / SPL 2.21 !
so far i know the G4 cooked ROMs are IPL / SPL free! so we can use them with G3 and G4 wizard. i'm i wrong ?

To be honest, I don't know. But if you have a G3, why you want to put there a G4 ROM.......
I think the search-word musst have at least 4 letters.

just to be sure there will be no danger for my phone because if the G4 ROM is IPL SPL free this will be more safe for my wizard i'm i wrong ?
and I realy want to understand !!!
ps: i have to upgrade it because it's german ROM and i don't like it, i need English or French ROM
As long as your phone is CID unlocked G3 device then it should be fine. I did flash mine with G4 ROM Risidoro cooked rom and everything runs smoothly.
Except i cannot find the extended_rom in the total commander, i dont know if this is becoz im flashing the G4 Rom onto the G3 device or not.
anyways from the info i got from this site is that, if your phone CID unlocked and G3 chip then you should be free to use any ROMS you want.
I can't say if my phone is CID unlocked or not ? how 2 know ??? before when i had the G4 Wizard i tried with a French rom 2.17 but it coudn't install untill i used nb2nbf to cook it, then i use the same thing with all roms i tried all was Ok till i brok it by downgrading to 1.10 rom i didn't konw that G4 or G3 > 2.21 can't be CID Unlocked !
now they changed my wizard with a new one but it is G3 don't konw why ??? but i have another problème the keypad is "fool " when i press
Q i have ZQ
q=zq
e=ce
i=.i
g=lg
h= h
l=lg
y=zq
c=ce
i think i will return it again but before i have to reflash it with the original ROM. i've download it. i will cook it with Tipho5 + nb2nbf to deleet the IPL & SPL just to avoid briking it again !
I did CID unlocked my G3 with 2.25 IPL/SPL from Cingular:
first, i did the sim unlock using lokiwiz3a: copy the enablerapi.cab on my device, run it, then run the .bat thing from desktop. use sim card from other provider, enter the unlock code. sim unlocked done.
second, downgrade using the custom rom, CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
then I did the CID unlock using lokiwiz2b. again copy the enablerapi.cab, run it..then run the .bat thing from desktop. done. my ipl/spl become: 1.05/2.25 if im not mistaken...anyways after that i did flash it with Molski ROM for G3 device to make the ipl/spl to 2.26.
then lastly after that i did some rom flashing using aku 3.2, molski, and lastly the risidoro one.
i know from this forum that the only know that you know that the CID is unlocked is by flashing with other ROMS (not the ROMS for G4 devices).
I think because your device is 3G all went good happy for you ! but i broke my G4 using exactly as you did, it deads after the first boot when i downgrade to downgrading to CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
so G4 chips don't accept to be downgraded ...
what do you think about the probleme i have in my keypad ?
when i press
Q i have ZQ
q=zq
e=ce
i=.i
g=lg
h= h
l=lg
y=zq
c=ce
and when i press the button 1 for the Messaging = 2 app start in the same time : Messaging and Camera
when i change the button 1 with ( eg: contact ) the 2 app are lunched contact and Camera !!!
is there any solution ? is it a hardware probleme or just a soft ?
Finly the keyboard is ok ! ! ! I oppened my wizard, Disassembled it, cleaned all contactacts and nappes, then Assembled it !
but i still want 2 know the difference between G4 & G3 cooked ROMs .. just IPL& SPL or something else ???
I flashed my wizard with faria rom but I want the original from tmobile back, how I know if the rom is for G3 or G4 device? Any can point me which one.
Thanks.
tmo's rom
If you are a t-mobile customer then you can log into you myT-mobile account and in the top right-hand corner of the screen it should have a picture of your device. If you click on this it should take you to a page that has support for your device. this page should have their 2.26 rom on it. just download and install.

Thanks for fast responce, but I'm not tmobile customer, just want the OEM rom for sell the phone(maybe)..
Thanks.
Found this on the ftp: RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship.exe
Will be this OK with my G4 device?
Thanks.
G4
Is your G4 device cid unlocked or not? If not there is a thread on the G4 forum that should direct you to roms that are ok with your device. Unfortunately thats about as far as my advice on a G4 can go but I will continue searching for an answer. Let me know if you find one first.

I think is cid unlocked because I paid the imei-check unlock($38.00US) and runned the program and unlock the phone...
Thanks
to check the rom just look at the numbers, 0001 at the end? it will confirm when you run the ruu on your pc

G4
I don't know if you have seen this one, I realize it is a custom rom and not the official tmo rom but it will work with a G4 and its a 2.26 rom that appears to be based off of tmo's ftp://xda:[email protected]/RUU_RIsidoro_2.26.10.2_WWE+CF2SP1_G4.exe

Just curious as to a: what your main objective is, b: did any of those other roms work, and c: where did you find this last rom? I don't see it on the ftp site.

LOL...
a: I was wondering to sell the phone, is brand new but get a little disappointed because is G4 and in the past I sold my G3. I sold the G3 and purchased a xv6700, my wife has a imate jam and was in LOVE with the G3( Qtek 9100), then I sold xv6700 and purchased a hermes cigular 8525(my main phone) and my wife still with the jam, now purchased the G4 t-mo usa mda for valentine's gift and want to customize it.(hope my wife doesn't read this forum)
b: The first T-mobile OEM worked, faria's v2 too, but the last from Cingular did not, it stopped at 95% and told me that was a wrong device, I tried twice to flash it. reflashed faria's. Did not tested t-mo custom. I want cingular extended rom but I flash it with faria's or t-mo roms and doesn't work, flased a custom extended rom and nothing, I want a cingular oem rom and then reflash faria's or wm6 rom, many useful cabs for the cingular network in the extended rom.
c: I use Cute ftp to access the xda ftp, I can see all the crap there... lol. But is there!
d: Sorry in my english, I speak spanish
You say you're G4 is CID-unlocked. You can flash every rom from aku2 and above on it now that doesn't contain IPL/SPL. Never flash a rom that contains IPL/SPL. So, if you want to flash the "original" rom back you'll have to remove the IPL/SPL part manual.
There's a great thread from Risidoro that explains how to do this:

This is a great tool, Thanks!!!!!
I have a G3 Herald (my IPL/SPL begins with 1) that is CID Unlocked and it seems as tho I can only flash to certain roms (maybe they are G3 Roms). Are Roms different for G3 and G4 devices? I am quite a new at this so any help is appreciated. Also, does anyone have a G3 version of WM6?
for the herald you should be fine flashing any of the roms that are currently out right now... just make sure that you follow alll instructions before proceeding.
well guys, am confused
the IPL and SPL are as follows
IPL:2.16
SPL:2.16
i cant get the concept of 2 zeroes and 3 zeroes???
Evil Eye,
no offense but if you did not understand how to identify whether you got a G3 or G4 I would recommend to read more and again the respective sticky threads ... otherwise there will be a high risk that you will brick you Wizard due to mis-understanding of the other steps to follow in order to upgrade your Wizard ... BTW you've got a G3.
Good luck!
g4 or G3
hello

hey!
with ipl/spl both 2.16, u definitely got a G3 device
well, the concept of 2 zeros and 3 zeros is that if u had ipl/spl 2.16.000 or 2.16.001.than it wud have been G4

Zabardast, Again you are giving the wrong info..
HTC Wizard G3 has IPL/SPL formats like 1.05 or 2.21 or 2.21.0000 etc
HTC Wizard G4 has IPL/SPL formats like 2.16.0001 2.21.0001

thank you for pointing me out. I have my concept clear about 2 & 3 zeroes,its only that I have somehow missed the 1 & 0 in 2.16.xxx1 & 2.21.xxx1
Otherwise i have said that,its certainly a G3 device

Filling the forum with repeated questions that have been answered zillions of times before and using a thread title that doesn't say the issue isn't a good politic to 'survive' in this forum (at least without being flamed...)
Read the wikis, the stickies and get WST.
