i may be the only one in the world that is a moron, or that doesn't already know. what is the difference between G3 or G4 when referring to rom images? i want to upgrade my T-mobile MDA, currently i have the 2.26.10.2 wwe rom, t-mo branded. and the 02.25.11 radio version, yadda yadda, what do i need to look for? what else do i need to know?
hello,
please take a look at G4 section

is there any 1 (without any tweaks)/?
Yes.
I'm making you one custom as we speak...
Isn't that what this is?

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess you don't want the ExtROM but it's hard to tell for sure when you have no sig saying what phone you have...
is there any newer cingular rom version than 2.25?
Stupidly bricked my 8125 while testing the AKU3.2. I have the ROM you asked for but no way to test it. I can still post the file anyway if you want...
Lemme know, K?
A while back I posted in Cingular customization cab??? a little custom Cingular cab I created for just this purpose. If you skip the Extended ROM setup and then install that cab then you'll have a very clean Cingular ready T-Mobile 2.26. I just made the ROM that 92GTA refers to. Sorry but I'm really not inclined to create and upload a Cingular connection only ROM.
And WOW there's a lot of brick'n going down lately!!!!
WTF ?
I just used xelencin's 2.26 and did the cing 2.25.11 radio rom only, and mine works like a champ on tmob US...
like 1/3rd uptake on siginal level in some areas, or it seem like that much anyway...
bhang
just do it!
Hello,
I just recently picked myself up a T-Mobile MDA and am now feeling comfortable enough to flash my first ROM. I have read, searched, and printed may of topics on this site and a few others but I have a few questions I was hoping you guys could help me with.
First, What makes a AKU2 ROM different from a non-AKU2 ROM? And for that matter what makes the AKU3.2 ROM different?
Also, When it is said "this ROM is for SPL/IPL 2.xx G3 phones only" does this mean that it is for any SPL/IPL that does not have the trailing .0001 (thus making it a G4 phone) and it would work with a 1.xx G3 phone? Is there a change log somewhere?
Finally, once a phone is CID unlocked I gather that it is for the most part permanent? In other words if I were to upgrade to say a newer AKU2 ROM would that then forbid me from downgrading back to my original 1.8.10.2 WWE ROM? I have read that posts indicating that you would be able to downgrade to 1.03 and then upgrade, I just want to confirm that I am understanding this correctly.
I currently have some pretty old ROMs on this stock MDA:
IPL: 1.08
SPL: 1.08
RADIO: 01.09.10
ROM: 1.8.10.2 WWE
I am really excited to upgrade the ROM on this thing if for no other reason than to upgrade the Radio ROM! ROM 2.47 not withstanding, Radio ROM 2.25/6 included in most of the custom ROMs must be a huge improvement over 1.9.10.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Tom

AKU2 roms are push email enabled they also have stereo bluetooth support, now AKU3.2 roms have improved bluetooth drivers and lots of "other" improvements

Yes that is correct

I have AKU2.6 and have push email but no bluetooth stereo.
Started a thread in Hacking and Development asking for help/why. No luck yet. I've tried every hack I could find.
So from what you are saying the support is in the AKU 2.6 ROM ,
but Samsung, Sprint or some other "confounded wingnut" decided not to take advantage of or /implement it !?!
BOY, DO I HOPE THEY RELEASE AN UPDATE!
Ratcom,
Thanks for the quick reply bro! Very helpful stuff.
A though of another question if you don't mind....
What the does SPL/IPL stand for and what do they each do? I know that they are bootloaders but why the need for two? Is one for the PDA ROM and one for the radio ROM? Kinda meaningless question but I was just curious. Thanks again.

STOP. Read the CID unlocking and upgrading G3 wizards thread. DO NOT attempt to do anything else until you have completely followed that thread. You already have a good IPL/SPL, you do not need to upgrade it. But you cannot upgrade your OS or Radio unless you are CID unlocked (or use the shell tool) There is plenty of information on how to proceed for you in just the Sticky posts alone.
Also you can use Google to search as well as advanced search in these forums. They may be messy but most of that comes from people that don't want to help themselves and ask the same questions over and over and over that have been answered too many times to count.
From what you have posted you look to have a solid and latest release from a carrier. Before you upgrade anything I would suggest you read the rom threads of the roms that you are interested in and see if they will give you anything that you need that you don't currently have. Once you are CID unlocked the sky is the limit.

That can't be done...it's not possible to change a G3 device into a G4.

Well, maybe by removing the DOC chip and replacing with a G4 might be possible
@Arif Jamil
Why would you want to do that? I'm sure there are some technological enhancements between the two chips but i don't believe it's noticeable while operating the phone.
You should be glad to own a G3 which can be easily and FREE unlocked ... or in fact what you want is to go from WM5 to WM6??
