Hi!
I have an O2 XDA Mini S and I was trying to find new ROMs to update. The problem I got was the version of my IPL/SPL.
ipl: 1.06
spl: 1.06
gsm: 01.12.10
os: 1.6.2.4
rom v: 1.6.2.4 WWE
rom d: 11/15/05
radio: 01.12.10
proto: 4.0.13.23
extrom: 1.6.2.105
Please point me to the right ROM so that I can upgrade mine. I have already CID unlocked the phone.
Thanks,
Dns
HELP
My qtek 9100 not work...is block to boot screen...and nothing else... please help
ddns- you need to update your ipl/spl to something recent (at least above 2.26)im running 3.08 and it works fine, the link is located here....http://rapidshare.com/files/31072268/IPL_SPL_3.08.rar.html....just download and run it...itll update with the RUU but it will keep you current ROM the same....
MihaiAndrey- have you tried any of the unbricking methods?
I just bought MDA Vario, and i want to upgrade using Molski's ROM.
My current device information are :
IPL / SPL : 1.08
ROM : 1.8.10.2 WWE
Radio : 01.09.10
It's possible for me to upgrade using directly to Molski's ROM from this current ROM?
From what I read I do not believe so...I think you have to have a IPL/SPL of 2.XX first which means you need to load one of the newer tmobile rom's first to upgrade the bootloader.
Yesterday I downgrade my G3 with the TMO Image 12-2005. Just for testing the BB-Client for Instantemail. And since that it isn't possible to update the wizard.
If tried different ROMs. It is allways the same issue. The Updateprozess goes completely through without an error. But only the Splash and the Extended Rom will be upgraded successfully. The Radio and OS still stands on the old version.
Last I tried the actual Molski ROM (RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2.exe) and have now this device Information:
ROM : 2.24.10.1 WWE
ROM date: 4/17/06
Radio: 02.25.11
Protocoll: 4.1.13.12
ExtRom: 2.26.10.2 Molski.Biz
The Update Utility allways shows the Image Version 1.2.0.0
It's enough to drive me to despair. Hope you can help me!

Follow the instructions. Run the 1.05 a second time if your SPL doesn't downgrade to 1.x
Good luck
it works - thanks a lot for the link
I downloaded Viet4 and run upgrade, on welcome screen on PC during upgrade it does not correctly detect my Wizard and shows as ROM 1.0.0 and for new version it says only blanks.
After upgrade device just boots to previous version of the ROM (2.26). What am I doing wrong?
Let me be the first one to say it before someone else does... Read the Wiki
Joking aside, you need to give more info such as do you have a G3 or G4? Did you CID unlocked your device? The error you have given usually meant that your device is CID locked.

sounds like you didn't CID unlock before trying to flash a rom that didn't come from your carrier.
and the upgrade tool will not have the right info in those fields. If your phone is unlocked the upgrade will work properly. Make sure you use the correct procedure based on whether you have a G3 or G4 phone.
I have G3 device
I have Qtek 9100 which was never locked of course. Then I installed ROM and radio upgrade with versions below
ROM version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
ROM date: 6/7/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
Hardware:
CPU:OMAP850
Flash chip type:M-Systems
What do I do now?

What is your IPL/SPL. And how do you know it was never locked? Have you personally unlocked it? Have you ever flashed any rom that was not from your carrier successfully?
If you have a G3 (ipl/spl 2.26/2.26) then I suggest following the full unlocking tutorial thread that is stickied. Trust me your phone is acting like a locked phone. If you haven't personally unlocked it then just humor us and do this. You will be amazed at the results.
If you have a G4 (ipl/spl 2.26.0001/2.26.0001) then you will have to use the pay website to unlock your phone. There is no other known way to unlock G4 devices at this time.
I assume since it was bought in Russia and branded as Qtek 9100 then it was not locked. Is it possible that ROM upgrade to Cingular ROM actually locked my phone?
SPL 2.26/2.26
I going through downgrade right now and then do CID unlock. Do I have to do SIM unlock as well? How do I know if device is unlocked?

SIM unlock will allow you to use any sim from any carrier without getting an invalid sim error. If you aren't getting this error already you should be ok not doing it but it doesn't hurt to do it since you are in there with Lokiwiz already.
The tutorial tells you to do the SIM unlock first then do the CID unlock.
once you are completely done don't forget to flash up to a 2.x rom (2.26 T-Mobile rom suggested) before flashing a custom rom.
At this point when you flash the custom rom your OS and possibly GSM will change (IPL/SPL may change if you use a rom that includes them)
You should be good to go once the CID unlock process is done completely.
I used Unlock and CID Unlock, both went fine. Now IPL 1.01 SPL 2.26 OS 1.5.4.2.
Do I need to upgrade to 2.X before upgrading to WM6 or I can run upgrade the way it is now? Do I need to upgrade IPL (whatever it is to 2.26 as it was before?)
THanks,

Right now you need to install the button rom again to get both IPL and SPL to 1.05. At that point you can flash back up to 2.26 and then to a custom rom of your choice.
The reflash of the button 1.05 rom is to ensure that you are truly unlocked. you will see that both IPL and SPL go to 1.05 -- this is good
The flash to a carrier 2.x rom is so that you have a good 2.x bootloader and don't inadvertantly flash a 2.x rom without bootloaders into 1.x bootloaders which will cause all kinds of issues.
Yes, you must flash a full 2.x rom before flashing the wm6 rom. The T-Mobile 2.26 is the recommended rom as it has the latest bootloaders available.
Then you go to the rom of your choice and enjoy
I know it's a pain in the behind but it is tried and true
Thanks,
This worked. The only issue now after I installed WM6 it starts installing some T-Mobile crap which appears belongs to 2.26 ROM I installed before. How can I clean install of WM6 without any T-Mobile stuff?
Thanks,

Might have to flash a rom that has an empty extended rom before going to the one you went to. My guess is that the rom you flashed did not include an extended rom and when you flashed it the customizations ran from the previous roms extended rom since it was still there.
Faria's 3.3 v2 has a settings chooser menu so you can select settings for whichever network you are on but that only sets up MMS/GPRS stuff, and doesn't install any carrier specific apps.
Never mind, I recovered using some old iMate ROM. The problem now is that iMate ROM updated SPL/IPL to 2.16 while I had 2.26 for both before. Is it ok to run with 2.16 or there might be some issues? What is SPL/SPL are used for?

2.16 should be fine. It is 2.xx and that is what really matters.
The issue that some people encounter is flashing an AKU2 or higher ROM into 1.xx bootloaders and have all sorts of issues, phone won't charge, radio doesn't show up, pda works but phone doesn't, battery drains quickly and no way to recharge, etc.
Hi, just got my wizard the other day (Used off ebay, Unlocked). I've been reading thru all the upgrade posts and I've come up with some questions I'd like to ask before I take the plunge.
First, the info from my wizard.
=====================================
Wizard Service Tool v4.2.1
=> Bootloaders:
IPL: 2.25 (G3 device)
SPL: 2.25 (G3 device)
Built on May 12 2006 at 00:37:41
=> Firmware:
OS: 5.1.xxx (Build 14928.2.2.0)
ROM: 2.25
Registry AKU: .2.2.0
Radio: 02.25.11
Protocol: 4.1.13.12
=>Extended_ROM:
Version: 2.25.11.102
Name: Extended_ROM
Status: hidden
======================================
1. Since I used WST to get the info, it said the first thing to do was hit the Enab. RAPI + Unsigned Apps button, which I did. Is this the the same as copying the EnableRapi.cab from the lokiwiz instructions?
2. Will the CID unlock in WST work with this phone or did I need to use the lokiwiz method? Minus the SIM unlock since it's already done.
3. I saw a post about formatting the EXT ROM to get rid of the carrier branded stuff, in this case cingular. Can I do this before I do the button rom downgrade/Tmobile 2.26 Rom install? The only reason I want to do this is so the cingular stuff doesn't get put back in whenever I do a hard reset.
4. Last one! I see that the IPL/SPL can be upgrade by itself. Should this be done or just keep whatever comes with the rom you install?
I'am sure most of these have been answered before, but after several days of reading I just wanted to double check and make sure I knew what I was doing.
Thanks......Grinch843........

Yes,you can CID unblock the phone with WST tool but first you'll have to downgrade to IPL/SPL1.xx by flashing the Button's Rom 1.05,It's mandatory to have ipl/spl 1.xx for CID unlocking,However, lokiwiz02b method is more recommended.You shud also check with WST tool by hitting the 'CID Action' button,if it might be CID unlocked already,as its SIM unlocked.
There's no need to formate the EXT Rom,as you'll be flashing Button's and T-mobile,it'll automatically get replaced by the External Roms of these Roms and the cingular External Rom will be replaced.
When you'll flash Button's Rom,it'll replace the IPL/SPL to 1.xx,required for CID unlocking,but when after CID unlocking,you'll flash T-mobile,it'll upgrade to 2.26,which is must for upgrade to wm6 there's no need to upgrade the ipl/spl manually.
All the latest custom build wm6 Roms don't include any IPL/SPL upgrades in them,so the Ipl/SPL will remain as 2.26,There's nothing to worry about,as its the most stable bootloaders (IPL/SPL)
Cheers!
Thanks for info --- Soon as I backup everything I'll give it shot and see what happens.....
