Hi guys. i hav successfully flash my dopod 838 with tmobile 2.26 rom. but i realised i dont need the tmobile extended rom. i try restoring my backup onto it after i reset when its customising. i cant get the autosettings of my service provider to work with it. so i reckon i need my old 2.21 dopod extended rom. is there a way to pull it out and combined it with the tmobile 2.26 rom? i try checking into the TEMP directory when its running but all i know is the rom and extended rom is combined.
actually i got another question. i found wizard extended rom making kit in the ftp. and i was wondering can i just flash the extended rom itself?
EEmmmm i think i know how to upload the extended rom into wizard. but the question is how do i use the extended rom making kit?? i got the files.. but i got no idea how to use it.. no instruction how to this.. anyone help me how to do this and everythin is fine.. thanks guys!! ^^
If you're referring to faria's excellent contribution, check out the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=313128#313128
Hope I was of some help ...
hey dats it!! thanks guys!! instead of cooking ur own rom i just cook my own ext rom. much easier this way then cooking up the whole thing. my dopod 838 now flashed with combination of Tmobile 2.26 rom plus dopod's customised 2.21 ext rom. its starting up now. hope it works. however my radio rom is listed as 2.25 tmobile. is that good? i look around this forum and got mixed review about which radio rom is better? some says 2.25 cingular some says 2.24 tmobile. so confusing. i am in australia. so would that have any effect? any one suggest me a good radio rom for my combo pls.. thanks!!
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 flash my phone after many posts i read here .
tried alot of roms like NBD and BlackDIamond , but i decided to stay with Blackd.
anyway, after i flashed , i can see that i have AKU 2.3 .. what that mean ? and what's the difference between 2.3 to 3.3 ?
curious !
Adaptation Kit Update. Its a bit like the service packs that MS releases for Windows. Basically newer AKU's supposedly have different bugs fixed here and there.
great , so how can i upgrade mine ?
Perhaps, if you can tell us your IPL and SPL version, we can give you the awnser.
Depending on those versions, we can see if you have a G3 or G4.
umm 2.16.0001 ....
it's g4 fosure ..
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.
