G4 or G3 ? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

I know that G4 wizards have SPL/ IPL X.XX.0001 and what about G3 ? they have x.xx.000 or just x.xx wityhout the 000 ??
mine has IPL / SPL 2.26
i ask this question because i want to be sure i have alrady broke the first one, i had a VDA Compact II from Vodafone germany. it was a G4 because IPL / SPL 2.25.0001 but when they change it they gave me another one with IPL / SPL 2.21 without 000 ! so is it a G3 ?
can i now CID unlock it ? however i'm not sure it is CID Locked but i suppose it is because when i install costums ROMs here i have alwas somthing missed !! no ringtone or no skins ....

detecting g3 or g4?

My Wizard (Cingular 8125) has
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
When it reboots
I have read on the forum
"How to find what kind of device I have?
If your IPL/SPL ends in .00 you have a G3 chip, if it ends .01 then you have G4. Soft reset you device to see the IPL and SPL version"
Mine does not end in either. What is mine?
You have a G3 wizard
if your
IPS/SPL version
ends with .0001 (e.g. 2.21.0001) = G4 wiz
without this (e.g. 2.25) = G3 wiz
and what is 1.01.0000 ? G 3,5 ?
are you sure !!!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I guess I've got a G25 then
IPL=2.27.00000000000000000000000001
Then why do they say if it ends in .00 its G3? Shouldnt it say if it does not have anything after the 2.xx its G3? Well, thanks guys, I will try the Faria ROM soon!

CID Unlock question

About to CID unlock a G3, my question is, the likes of the o2 xda updates, will it still know the device is g3 and flash the correct ipl / spl? The o2 updates must contain both IPL / SPL vers, as ive used the same update on G3's and G4's
Cheers
Yes, Unlocking a G3 does not change it into G4, you can always flash to original ROM.
p.s. Remember to downgrade your IPL and SPL to 1.xx before CID unlocking.

is it g3 or a g4

Have read the other post but i am confused can some one tell me if my phone is a g3 or g4
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.21
GSM 02.07.10

IF i want to upgrade radio rom for a better signal do i have to unlock it first my phone is with O2
many thanks

You may use the tool to get valuable basic information about your Wizard (among others), e.g. to find out that you got a G3 ...
As for the radio-only-update: if I am not mistaken you need to CID unlock - basically it is a ROM update except the ROM contains the radio only but no OS nor IPL/SPL.
Good luck!
thanks
thanks for the link its a g3 when i got the results says its sim unlocked but cid locked
thanks again

downgrade spl 2.17 to 2.16

i have an i-mate that was flashed with a custom rom in an unofficial service center with an ipl / spl 2.17 , i need to restore it to official i-mate k-jam rom which is 2.16 however the updater utility states its unability (probably due to spl reported to be higher than rom) is there a way i can bypass that or even downgrade spl ?
If you have a G4 phone. Try this unremove HardSPL trick to change the IPL/SPL in your phone. This is how I have gone from 2.25.0001 to 2.26.0001 to 3.08.0001 in my phone.
You will need to find the IPL/SPL you want. Be careful about G3 versus G4 versions.

If your phone is G3 someone else will need to help you.
thank u , its a g3 and i could help myself by installing button rom , later i had a problem where it downgraded ipl but not spl , finaly i realised they neglected to mention one thing .... u need to restart after installing rapi before cid unlocking , and then reinstall button rom

I'm 99% sure you bricked your phone....There's a reason all the stickies say "Read This First".....You have a G3 wizard and you flashed it with a G4 ROM....good luck unbricking your phone.
