huges and kisses
lovely
I'm going to assume you're a girl since you said hugs and kisses, in which case I am inlclined to help you, where as otherwise I would've just said search. Although you really still should search since your questions could probably all be answered already.
1st you need to find out if you have a G3 or G4 device.
Then you need to find out what rom version you're running.
Then you'll need to take the appropriate steps to CID unlock and upgrade the rom.

This is a dumb question I am sure...
I am getting a new phone from Cingular warranty since the touch screen stopped working on my current one. I am guessing I will get a new phone and swap in my SIM card. I am guessing they will send me a unit with 2.25 loaded on it.
I have been running summiters ROM (2.3) and really like it but I have a few questions...
1. Do I need to CID unlock the new phone or is this controlled by the SIM card? If I do, from what I have caught up with on the boards, I can no longer use Lokiwiz , so what do I do? I found a post from Faria http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
that talks about downgrading, unlocking and then upgrading again but it seems to have mixed results.
2. Assuming that I solve #1 are there any challengers to Summitters 2.3 with CF2 + multiinstaller for folks on Cingular? I don't see any up.
3. Possible most important... Do I need to reflash my old phone to what it was shipped with or the official 2.25 so I don't have problems with the return. I am doing this all via mail so I wouldn't think they would check, but figured someone here had done this before.
As far as number one is concerned, you do have to CID unlock your new phone. The CID information is on the phone not the SIM card. Also, I didn't have any trouble downgrading from 2.25 in order to follow the directions in the post that you linked there. I had to do it when I had my phone's mainboard replaced.
For question number two, summiters AKU 2.3 ROM still seems to be the latest ROM out there for us Cingular folks.
Lastly, for number three, it couldn't hurt to flash back to an official ROM. I didn't have any problems when I had a summiter ROM on my phone when I sent it in for service (the USB port was broken so I couldn't reflash), however it's better to be safe than sorry ^_^

Thanks for the reply... should get it tomorrow and hopefully all will go well.
seems like everything has been answered, but i do want to add to question #3... I would flash back to an official rom, techinically according to the warranty process any rom that is not an official rom does void the warranty. So i would flash it back to an original rom before sending back. Im not saying they check, but i would hate to send back my phone with an un-official rom and get stuck with a $400 bill for a phone thats not in my possesion anymore...
hey folks. i think i need to reflash my spv m3000 because it keeps restarting and the phone is reaaaly sluggish..
IPL 1.09
SPL 1.09
GSM 01.04.10
OS 1.9.1.1
This is what i have got. i have no clue whatsoever if this rom is good or not but it doesn;t seem to do the trick for me..
i have be reading for some weeks but i am still unsure wether my phone is CID locked or not. or what rom should or can i use.
i still don;t understand the G3 G4 difference and why everybody talks about 2.xx spl and ipl and i have 1.09....
could anybody please translate all this technical details into english? i have no intention of bricking the device..so i am folowing the advice in all tutorials "if u n't know what you are doing ..ask first"
i have some more questions:
are the new roms more stable or at least faster? because this one keeps restarting randomly.
cand somebody really give me some step by step information on what i need to do?
how can i back up this original firmware..so if the upgrade doesn't work i would still be able to reflash it back
i am mentioning that the phone was sim locked and i uset lokiwiz tool to unlock it.
ftp://xda:[email protected]_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship.exe
I would use this one, it's safe, original.
i would appreciate if you could answer al my q's..i am not ready to flash it without knowing if i am cid ocked and what is that...etc
I thought you mentioned you unlocked it.
The ROM is stable, all the posts like Beta, Unhappyhousewife etc. have thgis one as basis.
About your Backup, to be honest I don't have clue because I never had or wanted to go back.
ok. my main concern is about the 1.xx spl and ipl comaptibility. all i could find aroundhere was said about 2.xx
i am afraid to upgrade untill i know for sure what my 1.xx means in practical terms
did u have 1.xx before upgrading?
I did,yes.
Most of us start with 1.
thanx man. so without sounding stupid i will ask for final instructions.
correct me if i'm wrong.
i will have to cid unlock the devicei first using lokiwiz 2
then i will be able to use the rom u suggested?
Hello, i have read a Lot of Threads by now, but still dont see a real flashing guide. I would need some help.
My Mda Vario is T-Mobile Germany Branded and its data is:
IPL: 1.06
SPL: 1.06
GSM: 01.12.10
OS 1.6.2.1
As far as i can see, i have an G3.
I have Sim-Unlocked it on the first day i bought it, so my question is, its most likey CID Unlocked too if i sim unlocked it ?
If not, i have to downgrade and use Lokiwiz, right?
Next Question besides the how-to Flash is what i should do before the First Flash and for the First Flash of my Phone.
I want to flash for RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2.exe
I would appreciate every bit of help, Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for your answer.
I have read these threads already, actually they are opened in my Opera for questions i can think of. But i still dont really get it, the threads are a bit loaded with things you dont need i think.
But i stillt dont really get it and since i dont want to damage my phone, i wanted to have some help for my first flash first.
Use Lokiwiz 0.2b to CID-unlock your phone. Then you could flash it with any ROM for a G3 device out there.
Thanks for your reply.
What i need is some help with the flashing I can manage the unlocking but i dont really know how to flash, i didnt find any info about flashing that helped me so far. If you have a link to some thread or can explain please do so.
Thanks in Advance
Since you wanted to upgrade to a ROM with EXE, all the instruction will be on the EXE and will be displayed once you execute it. No sweat upgrading using an EXE.

Also, sometimes the "flashing" process seems to "hang" in the upper 90's%...just have patience and wait, the installs/flashing will normally complete.

I bought a wizard from a guy who got it from T-mobile US, so it's a T-mobile branded wizard. I want to upgrade my ROM version, so I read the guide and it says that I should do some steps untill I my spl and ipl are 2.26. My wizard's spl and ipl are 2.26 already (gsm02.25.11, os2.26.10.2) so I want to know if i'm ready to upgrade my ROM without a CID unlock and downgrading to 1.05 ROM (That guy may have done that, but I don't have a clue...)
Thanks.
Since you don't have a clue, then you need to carry on reading.
There are threads in here about CID unlocking, and also in the wiki (links at the top of the page).
It's better to understand what you are asking for help on if you can't follow the instructions, than to follow someone blindly in case you miss a step they assumed you knew.
It's an expensive device to brick if you don't know what you're tring to do.

I'll second that opinion!
Hello all....thank you for this great forum........I am a new user here and I have read many posts but didn't find the solution to my problem.....I hope You guys will help.....!!
I want to know.....how can I check that my phone is CID locked.......I have a G4 MDA.........and my phone is not SIM locked.........!!
One more qusetion....Is the wm5 AKU 3.3 rom safe for me......??
THANKS IN ADVANCE..........
no rom is safe. they all make you grow feathers and cluck like a chicken.
if you want your phone CID unlocked...just go through the steps to unlock it and if it's already unlocked then trying to unlock it again will do no harm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284292)
concerning the AKU 3.3 ROM by Faria/Molski...no cooked ROM is 100% safe but this is as close as you're gonna get to it
*edit* this would probably best be posted in the G4 subforum though
Thankyou for answering but my question is still unanswered....
I just want to know.......Is there any way to check whether my phone is CID locked or not........
Simple rule: if you didn't unlock... it's CID-locked
I know only one way (not preffered). Flash a 3.x G4 rom with only an OS in it. If you're OS version doesn't change... you CID-locked.
there is no safe way to check your CID. You can try flashing your phone. If it went
(a) unsuccessfull OR
(b) brick your phone
it means your phone is CID locked.
