1.05 to 2.X to 3.3
You need to upgrade from 1.05 to a 2.X before going to 3.3

have you considered that you may have a corrupted rom?
download again.
and please try to title your problems accordingly. ...lets not spread rumours[farias 3.3 v2 problems.... ]
you are having trouble upgrading your device...not problems with the rom itself.
thanks.
here is your new title

Faria 3.2 Htc Wizard Rom Real Issues-report Here

DUE to the first thread been turned into another unlocking one I had no choice but, to close the project.
But I feel that it is unfair to the people that respect my work an appreciate it.
The response to the rom has been overwhelming!!!! I never see this kind of response to a rom since the blue angel days
once again this thread been trashed with crap.rom is no longer available.next realease is pending.got better things to do with my time.plus time job is takeing most of mine time now and with x-mas coming,gonna get worst. when im ready i will contact the testers.no more tester are neede at the moment.
if you experience power-ups with push email folow.this;
now for users that have the device powering up when push email activated,i have been doing some testing;
i setup my push email [web2mail]
now i have setup the device security with a password,so when it comes from stand-by,will ask for it,
then a setup devicee lock in batterie status to also lock the device [see pictures]
what can i say i works fine.
when i receive an email from my server ,it notefys-me with the email sound ,but the device does not power up as reported.
now when the device lock time out is up,the device wakes up to lock itself
and the powers down in 1-2 seconds -this is normal in this rom atleast.
how to the date in the top right corner ?
use registry wizard[included in the rom] to remove the date or time
to use default clic sound download the file below
remove the .zip from the file name as it's just a cab...thanks dr.p
whats is in my rom?
unlcoking problem
people don't get it and it is really easy to unlock CID if they really follow the threads that there are. This thread says it clearly what u do and it is really easy to do it. Most of the people have update tool problem they can solve that with wizard_ROM update utility_noID file on the FTP site of the XDA. They can just put it to the unpcaked faria RC1 file and run it after unlocking CID. Two steps simple and cristle clear !!

/APPLAUDE
Just wanted to thank you for everything so far. Loving the ROM and will continue to provide Beta feedback as much as possible.
hey faria, awsome job i wish i had half your skills. your latest rom has been exeptional, the only issue i had was when i overclocked it the screen would intemitently turn on, oh and the battery meter never went below 57%. any help or sugestions would me much appreciated.

You my requested the rom from me but I will select you according to your posts.

LOL! So you will select us according to whether or not we have something intelligent to say. Well, I am about to put your 8mb rom on my MDA (right now using the RISIDRO rom loaded on top of the t-mobile official 2.26 rom) and will let you know what I think. I will be sure to say something smart. I will just blow you away with my intelligence and technical prowess.
I would like to see some articles on the page-pool size thing though. That's a new one to me. Check my post in the original thread (#419). Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? I can only find how-to's and not any reasons as to why one would do this...
So uh ... how do I unlock my phone? I did not get any keys. Are they on the stylus somewhere? I gotta go download a computer.
Portuguese Support
I faria since i`m new in this all new stuff of cooked rooms and extended roms etc; all that i can do is asking how can i help you on your journey, just tell me how i can donate you something for you to continue the great job that i have the oportunity to see in this forum i will be pleased to help with anythig to honor your Portuguese contribute to the XDA, continua o bom trabalho e ficarei a aguardar pelo "lançamento" da tua nova room EXCELENTE TRABALHO.
well I told you I would let you all know if there was a difference that I noticed between the 8mb and 12 mb with the voicemail issues and in-call issues.
with the 12, sometimes in a call, buttons would become usless and had to soft reset to hang up. same thing with the 8.
with the 12, voicemail icon would not go away after voice mail deleted. havnt seen that with the 8 yet.
other than that, speed is good in both, and everything works like a charm.
Jeb
I hope your donations will provide you with at least the ability to take a night off and go to dinner or maybe get a massage to help you forget the newbie questions. I will be sending a donation as well. You have provided an outstanding ROM that has rivaled (and beaten) multi-m(b)illion dollar companies core and "upgrade" roms.
To all those that wish to ask newbie questions, leave faria's threads dedicated to the enhancement and ultimate release of one of the best ROMS for a PPC phone alone.
The least you could do is create your own thread and post your questions there.
I hope I may be considered for future testing granted my moderately new questions have not been classified as non rom related. If so, I will go study some more and apply to faria U at a later time
G4s and the ROMs
Faria, I think I am onto something here. From what I am reading in the posts, and from what you and I discussed the other day about my extended rom not loading correctly, I think and G4 with IPL/SPL ABOVE 2.17.0001 have a greater degree of security. Again, reading the posts in your other thread, it seems a handful of G4 owners could indeed install your rom fully, while the other half would only get the OS. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am starting to see a pattern.
First and foremost I would like to thank Jose for all the time and effort that he put into making this great rom. If and when you come to NYC I am taking you out and getting you twisted VIP style! But enough ass kissing and lets get to bussiness.
I have had very minor issues.
The mms did not work for me with the settings that I had from tmobile USA. I did get them to work when I got some of the settings cabs from the 2.26 custom extended rom. I did run the auto config that was included to set the network settings.
After installing all the software extras that was included to check how they worked, I have not been able to keep the phone off. When I say off I mean the backlight staying off when nothing is running. I have tried using the XP feature to turn the light off but it doesnt keep it off either. This could be something that I did so I may just reflash and install everything one by one to see where the problem comes from.
I also have noticed some signal problems but I think that was more of me installing those cabs from the 2.26 rom
Any help is appreciated.
one issue i have noticed is right before the device wakes up it white screens for 2-3 seconds then loads the today screen.. i dont know if this is a issue as i have not seen it really affect anything but i figured id let u know.

Let me tell you the whole process that i followed to have a

1. ROM before upgrading:
-IPL 2.25

-Radio 02.47...

-OS 2.26.10.2
3.The proplem that i encountered:
when ROM upgrade finished, the device automatically
restarted and asked me if i wanna run the autorun files
(the installation of Ext_ROM, i know that) and i certainly choosed Yes.
The installation process went smoothly to its nearly end then a
error dialog box poped up with :"/Windows/autoconfig.exe doesnt exist"
,the only thing i could do is to choose "ok".The device restarted and
what i find after that is a new OS 2.26.10.2 without the EXt_ROM.
I downloaded both 8MB and 12MB pool versions but it gives me
the same result for both.
Please help me me on :
1.How to correct those problems.
2.How to upgrade my SPL and IPL to the newest versions?I stay the same(2.25) even when i upgraded the device to 2.26.
Thank you very much for any help.
Was your phone CID unlocked prior to the install? It seems that you have a G3 so the other thread on unlocking should have been done first. (You may have done this prior to another ROM but I am to tired to think about that...) Good luck!

Urgent helps needed!
So i bricked my Cingular 8125!
I just wanted to upgrade my ROM to the newest AKU 3.2 from Faria.
I did ungrade and errors arised as i described above.
I was told that the fone hadn't been CID unlocked.
I did as what described in lowikiz
-downgrade the rom,
-run enablerapi.cab on my device
-run lowikiz 0.2b
-choose CID unlock
Restarted the fone, what i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.25
GSM 2.47.11
OS 3.0.0
There're only two things fulfill me,that's GSM and the OS.I wanted the
IPL and SPL should be 2.26 or later version.
What i did then :
-Downgrade again (hoping that i forgot to SIM unlock)
-run enablerapi on my device
-run lowikiz 0.2b
-choose unlock
And when the fone restart.
What i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.x.x
OS 1.05.x
when the installation completed, i upgraded the ROM again to AKU3.2
everything went smoothly until it finished.The fone restarted and what i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
<blank, no GSM version, couldnt believe that>
OS 3.0.0.0
the device kept running until the installation completed.
It restarted again and stopped running.What i can see now is just
nice background and blinking (waited for nearly 15 mins but no futher responses)
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
OS 3.0.0.0
It couldn't get further.
I think i bricked my Cingular 8125.
So could you helpers, experienced users help me with that?
Can i fix it?Or can HTC fix it?
Thank you very much!
Hello faria. I said eariler that this was a great rom. I think i have found a minor annoyance, i wouldn't call it a bug. It is related to spb time at least I'm pretty sure it is. I get the calnot.exe error every now and again and the cannot locate the spbtime.exe on reset. Its strange everything still works as it should. I think someone else had this problem in the other thread. I thought is was because spb time was loaded on the mem card and the fact that windows is sometimes late in loading it. So my next step was to move it to the sys mem. Same problem, I guessing it is on spb to fix this. I was probably not designed to work well with aku 3.2. Other than I that i could not find any real problems, except one time i uninstalled spb time and i oculd no longer sync. easliy fixed by hard reset no prob. I'm using 12mb pool. I also used your registry tweak program and set all the cache to the highest settings. Do you think that is a bad idea for this pool size. Have noticed some slow down in performance i don't know if the two are related.
thanks for the great rom again man!!
appreciated

I didnt delte it I just ran the other cabs from 2.26 and soft rest it. I think thats where my signal problem came from. I have to reboot to get my signal back.

HELP needed changing ROM after installing Molski (2.26.10.2) AKU2.3 ROM

Hi there,
After I installed Molski's 2.26.10.2 AKU2.3 ROM I can't seem to upgrade/downgrade to another ROM. After starting the update utility my screen went black, the update tool stalled at 0% with error [260] UPDATE ERROR and the only way to reset was to remove the battery.
My specs right now are:
T-Mobile Vario G3 (G3 yes!) Wizard
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.47.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I tried getting into the bootloader by pressing and holding either one or both of the righthand buttons and a soft reset, but then the screen goes blank (black) as well with the removal of the battery as only option.
I also tried to install button's 1/05 ROM without succes (same 260 error).
I also reinstalled Windows XP + MS ActiveSync 4.1 just to rule that part out, but even then no luck!!
I flashed my PDA on several occassions using different ROMS each time, but this is the first time it doesn't work . Perhaps something to do with the bootloader?
Any help would really be appreciated!
Best regards,
Dennis
the Netherlands
You shouldn't go back to the 1.05 unless you need to downgrade your IPL/SPL for some reason or another...
I'd try the T-Mobile 2.26. (That's what I do when changing ROM's, because when I see the T-Mobile splash I KNOW that all parts of the previous ROM are gone.)
Always works for me, YMMV though ...

NBK file corrupt...can't update ROM...HELP!!

Ok...
awhile back, I updated my MDA with hacked ROM that made bluetooth better (bluetooth 1.2 i think). anyway, i had no problems with loading new ROM. IPL is 2.17
now, i want to update to newer ROM. as instructed, i downloaded new Tmobile ROM 2.26 and tried to update my MDA.
during the install, i get an error saying my nbk file is corrupt and cannot proceed. so i have the tri color screen and i have to reload ROM 2.17. so my problem is that i cannot update to a newer ROM without fixing the nbk files that are corrupt.
anyone have any ideas on this??? i need help please....

2). Just search around and you'll find plenty.. trust me

SPL only downgrade

Folks,
Is there a way to downgrade just the SPL?
I'm having problems with a died wizard (mda vario) and my only hope is to get
a SPL downgrade from 3.08 to 1.X, so I'll be able to install again the T-mobile 2.26 rom.
My phone is totally killed at this moment and any help would be greatly apreciated!
Is there a way to flash another wm5 rom that works with IPL 1.x and SPL 3.08?
So I would be able to put the phone to work again, instead trying to downgrade SPL from 3.08...
T-Mobiles 2.26 should already downgrade it for you. I have my IPL/SPL upgraded to 3.08 and every time I get ready to flash a new ROM I load 2.26 first and it always downgrades it back to the 2.26 IPL/SPL.
Xeno,
When I try T-mobile 2.26 rom I got
"ERROR [296]: UPGRADE ONLY. The NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get another NBF file."
Ok, try this. Extract the nk file from the t-mobile rom update and then put that file in this flashing tools folder and then run the rom update utility in the folder and see if it solves your problem.
If you have the t-mobile rom in it's original form (a single exe file) and you don't know how to extract the nk file, that's actually very easy. All you have to do is use winrar, right click on the exe file and choose extract here and all the files will be extracted for you and nk file will be right there where you extracted it to.
By the way, I'm assuming that you are CID unlocked since you upgraded your IPL/SPL to 3.08.
Xeno1, thanx by the help,
Using original T-mobile 2.26 rom, it gives me File Read Error [238]
Now I'm Trying with wizard love rom, and its trying to flash
let's see what happens...sometimes my battery ends before finishing the flashing procedure, and I have to recharge again...(don't have cradle)
Hopefully the wizard love rom will work for you. Did you get that error using the flashing tools that I uploaded and the nk file from the t-mobile rom?
Oh, I just read your post in the did I kill the wizard thread. I didn't know you had an IPL of 1.xx and an SPL of 3.08. No wonder the t-mobile rom was doing that. The wizard love rom shoulkd be able to fix that for you.
Yes,
I'm using your flashing kit. First time the battery went down, so I'm trying again.
I tried this afternoon the Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 rom too, and nothing happened (it flashed 100%, no errors at all). Just my IPL turned to 1.05, and the system didn't boot up.
EDIT
I don't know if my battery is damaged too, or the flashing procedure needs a lot of energy, but I had no lucky flashing this yet. The phone very often go back to the rainbow screen (showing a lose of battery power)
There seems to be a few people with an IPL of 1.05 and an SPL of 3.08 on here and all of them seem to have the same problem you're having. I'm not sure that the flashing tools that I gave you are going to help, but you can try them and see. It's worth a try anyway. Flashing the wizard love rom is what most people have been suggesting to do to fix it though. Did you try flashing the 3.08 IPL/SPL update aagain and seeing if that fixed it?
Nice idea about update again to 3.08,
So, this is a know issue? (having 1.X IPL and 3.08 SPL?)
Is there any known recovery procedure?
I did not try to do a 3.08 update again.
At this moment I'm recharging the battery, so I'll try one more time the wizard love rom, and can try to upgrade to 3.08 again as you said...
Trying to flash again the 3.08 update I got this:
ERROR[300]
These update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility
Now I'll try the love rom again...
Any other ideas?
EDIT
I don't know if it is a battery issue or a problem with the love rom, because I've tried 5 times and got the rainbow screen at 55%, 85%, 96%, 99%, 100%, for example...I'll recharge battery for about 3 hours and give another try.
Any other good idea?
You could try using those flashing tools with the nk file in the 3.08 IPL/SPL update also and see if that works. I have a few more ideas to work on yet if those don't work.
Trying the 3.X flashing tools with wizard love rom I got the
message 300 (invalid rom, get new one..)
I still wanna try a full wizard love flashing, so we can try to conclude anything.
I'll go to sleep now, and will charge battery all night.
Tomorrow I'll give you the feedbacks...thank you Xeno1 for your help
We're almost there...
It's probably a good idea to give it a full charge before you start trying again. Heres another thing I thought of, I extracted just the IPL and SPL from the 2.26 rom and made a IPL/SPL 2.26 update for you.
Xeno1, you're a genius!
It worked!
I could not flash the wizard love rom, it's always stopped before the 100%.
I flashed your 2.26 ipl/spl rom, without hope, and it suddently started the chime!!!
Now my IPL is 2.26 and SPL is 3.08.... (the SPL didn't change anyway, but I'm glad the phone is back!!!)
Do you have a Vario MDA G3 wizard? I never could see(or even install) a WM6 on it, do you know if is it really possible? (I messed the things up trying to do that...)
Yes, I have a G3. I'm glad that worked for you. You still probably need to get your IPL ans SPL to be the same number. Running the 3.08 IPL/SPL update should be able to take care of that now.
WM6 is definitely possible on a wizard, It's been on my phone for about 2 months now. Before you flash to WM6 though, make sure you flash the whole t-mobile 2.26 rom back on it so that it has a good clean base.
Anyway, let me know how things go.
lotsa people make mistakes when flashing their rom for the first time and all.
whenever you start...when you use buttoms or love rom...BOTH your IPL and SPL should be 1.XX...before you start flashing back up. If BOTH are not 1.XX, you have to reflash with buttons or love, until they both drop down to 1.XX.
a lot of people don't read that part of the step...and seem to just flash with button or love once...have one number as 1.XX the other as 2.XX and then try to upgrade...lotsa times this causes problems.
in most cases, if you flash back down to 1.XX with buttons or love, and keep doing so til they are the same and then flash back up, things tend to work...otherwise...you can be screwed...
is it possible to flash wm6 right after flashing love rom with both ipl/spl 1.X, or should I do some other flashing before wm6?
If the WM6 ROM includes IPL/SPL, you can flash it without problem.
However if the ROM is OS only, you will get stuck at bootloader as WM6 requires 2.xx or IPL and SPL to load.
