detecting g3 or g4? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

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 !!!!

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!

You're right that your IPL/SPL does not changes!
Our (Risidoro's, Wizard_Love and my Roms) for G4 devices does NOT contain IPL/SPL, (only Extended Rom, OS and Radio Rom).
So when you bootup and your OS and GSM are changed, your devices is upgraded.

no, it's a different brand chipset in the device is all.

G4 or G3 ?

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 ....
G3
you now have a G3 device

I have IPL 1.01 SPL 2.16 what do i have to do next?

i was flashing ship ROM and on 1% it says this nbf is not for ur phone and stops, i've reset it and bootloader starts with ipl 1.01 spl 2.16, should i use NoID_ruu to flash other custom ROM?
you need to flash an official rom first, or a custom rom with updated bootloaders
dont look at my signature, that was before pda service replace my ROM with G3 chip, and ipl\spl was 1.0\1.03, then i did what is right to do - i flash an official ship rom, and then all go as i describe above

flash an official rom, then flash a custom rom

thanx ppl, but as said i did all this , everything is fine, im testing faria's rom atm, trying to figure out how to setup PAN, and a2dp seems have some problem too, but i think i'll manage this.
oops , its not allright, faria's rom flashed, os version is correct(build 3.2.0), but alot of things not working, i guess it is becuz of ipl 1.01 version, i need both of em to be 2.xx, i'll try to downgrade to 1.01 ruu costom rom, we'll see what will happend.

i wonder if your problems have anything to do with the fact that your chip was changed.. or maybe not done correctly

As far as i know, they will just change the whole maching rather than changing only the chips... The way the soldering is done on the chips means they can't be taken out easily...

they can actually, they are just surface mount chips, i used to work for a company doing component level repair on electronic devices... and removing a surface mount chip is quit simple with the right tools

I see... I am just thinking that these chips might be BGA chips, and hence can't be desoldered easily...

didnt think of that, you might have a point there
The problem is that __s(tupid) just rushes in and doesn't read anything before flashing 'til the cows come home.
One clean guide. Thanks very much for this.

Seems to be a G3 that wasn't correctly updated, since the IPL and SPL don't match.

Thank you
where can I find explanation of the update
Sorry I got your personal message but didn't recognize you. Later I remembered that it was this thread. Look at this thread for a tutorial on how to upgrade. I believe that you have a G3, but the IPL and SPL versions do not match. When you finish the tutorial, both IPL and SPL should be 3.08 (or 3.09, but mine is 3.08).
Good luck. If you have any other questions, please ask.
For ROMs, search the 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development forum. My favorites are in my signature.
I have read The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards
but the link for (T-Mobile 2.26 rom)is dead ...where can I download it??
i have download another rom but the version is T-Mobile 2.6 and not
T-Mobile 2.26
can i use it without problems??
thank you for your help and your patience
You can still download the official T-Mobile ROMs from their website, as long as you are a current T-Mobile customer, or at least know a telephone number of a current T-Mobile customer.
Currently, the link is:
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm23294.xml?&A2L.SERVICE=UpdateSoftware
And the filename is:
MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
I found the download link here
(T-Mobile 2.26 rom)
rapidshare.com/files/37669086
/MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
I will try to update my device
Thank you
