So I got my phone about 3 weeks ago well the low program memory kinda make it hard to do things I do on my mda so I was wondering is there anything I can do about this or is a different os a better choice? sorry im a ppc newb
xda is a great place to find things.
If you are referring to program memory, or RAM, then you should install the quick page pool changers. Generally 6 or 4 mb is used.
If you are referring to storage memory, you should probably flash another rom.
Wings/Heralds do not need to be cid unlocked, but rather can be flashed using what is referred to as "aserg's method"
When you download a rom, there is a .cab called Aserg policies.cab. Flash this to your wing, soft reset, and then click on 1_UPGRADE_ROM.bat. Follow the instructions from there.
Before you flash make sure to install a fresh ruu.
I'm assuming you know about RUUs and stuff from the MDA/Wizard.
THe best rom right now is the Touch-it for Wings 1.1
But the 2.0 version is coming soon (its already here for heralds), with even more delectable awesomeness.
I'm sorry I didn't go into details I'm speaking on both storage and program but program mostly, I am a newb for both mda and wing since I got both within a week for me and my bro if you could explain a little simpler I would appreciate it. I notice the original rom on the wing is buggy so I think a different rom would be better. how would I go about saving the original rom just in case? Thanks again I'm sorry if you guys get this a lot

Since you have a Wing, I'd suggest trying the Touch It ROM found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332789
Really read the entire process first, read it close and don't skip steps.
Before hand, run PIM Backup and copy the resulting file to your PC.
You can get that here:

I don't know much about the MDA, though.

fzzyrn - is there a reason why you feel TOUCH-IT is the best ROM? It will help if you can share / elaborate / educate. I have installed PDAVIET and it seems to work great as well but I am wondering what is the actual difference between the two besides the extra apps....
Removed pending posting of instructions.
What is this for?
Thanx.

Sorry, not meant as a slam, but someone with only 21 posts, puts up a Rapidshare link for something to flash to a Wizard saying its HardSPL and no other instructions or information... Sorry (again, no offense meant by this) but I wouldn't flash something that is unexplained (if there is another post about this, then at least give a pointer to that in the first post).
FWIW: HardSPL is a way of making your device almost unbrickable. If it works like with the Hermes and Kaiser HardSPL, then you do the steps needed to install this, instead of the old CID unlock procedure of having to go back to the Button ROM and running lokiwiz.
But still, I'd be careful flashing something like this until more is known about it (the source, instructions for the method to install it, etc).
Totally agreed! I wouldn't go for it!
I don't mind to brick my wizard again!

I with you agree, but...

Instructions are not present because I do not wish to be responsible for another's nonsense. To whom it is necessary that will understand.

Lokiwiz has been a trusted and faithful friend. Until I get more info, instructions, screeners even...I will keep using my trusted friend Loki.
No offense to the OP, but "read my other posts" doesn't tell us much. Your other posts are just like this one. Short and to the point, no real info given...nothing telling me how to install/run it. Nothing troubleshooting if an issue should arise. Read the Loki thread, or Dr. P's tutorial...everything anyone needs to know about Loki is there. Yours...not so much.
Hey, all I need is a "no-answer" answer from the poster and that's enough for me to hold back.

IF, you check his entries, other posts like this one have been made in other device sections. Now how all the mighty guru's here have somehow overlooked this ability, and he has manged to make it happen...
When a dev here releases something, it is does with so much info that if something does happen, a person KNOWS it can be fixed. To say:

And to the poster above...you feel so confident about it that you tried it on a friends wizard??? If it does work, as you say, please give us more details about it...since we have none really.
Until we see some directions as well as a bit more transparency from the OP, I'm removing the link. OP, please PM me when you have fulfilled those requirements.

Guys dont bombard like this , Prislav has always presented raw content like this in Prophet forum also. Maintaining the terminology, just see diagram, might be useful- simple
But im not favouring any one. please!
I force nobody. Do not want, it is not necessary. To me it is not important.
Well this thread seems nice and hostile .
Unless I am missing something all Prislav has done is to use JumpSPL by Pof (Nice WinCE Tramp by the way ) to fire off a patched G3 SoftSPL and from there let you launch into the ROM update routine.
Prislav’s post may have been a little short on details but there is plenty of info on the board and in his previous threads on the subject. Pof's JumpSPL thread is also a goldmine of info.
Prislav also seems to have been kind enough to provide a patched 'flashable' SPL for G3 devices.
I have not tried this yet (my G3 junkers are at home, so I will tonight) but looking at the dumps of the files and the steps that Prislav has gone through I think this should work.
The SoftSPL seems to contain nothing dangerous and I test launched it on a G4 I have on my desk to no adverse affect (in fact it did almost what I expected, not sure it is putting the device into the correct 'wait for USB' state mind you but it does answer to prods from MTTY ).
Looking at the way the file is patched (and my limited knowledge in this area may let me down, I am more of an ARM Linux hacker) is very interesting. It also looks very much like this could be wrapped into a SoftSPL flashtool that just soft patches a G3 before flashing (and also gives users a choice to flash a HardSPL if wanted, just like we do with G4’s and most modern HTC devices).
Ok,
Just an update to my last post,
I found an old G3 with a broken keyboard under my desk. IPL/SPL 2.17, ancient radio and AKU2.
SoftSPL via JumpSPL from Pof/Prislav seems to work fine .
Converted the Hard-SPL.nb to an nk.nbf (with just the SPL in it).
Flashed the resulting nk.nbf.
Device is now running a patched SPL (2.H4).
Just upgraded device to WM6 from an off the shelf ROM (had Jag 4.0 handy) using the usual NVID update tool.
The end result is an old, unhacked WM5 G3 upgraded to WM6 in a matter of mins.
Download: I will edit this post when I get home and have had a chance to upload the files to my site. - Stuck at work right now.
Edit @ 22:00, 17th Jan: Download is now up here. Use with care and don't come crying to me (or Prislav ).
HowTo: Install PatchedSPL on a G3 Wizard (or just run a SoftSPL if you flash another OS ROM at step 7 with the included flash tool).
Warning: I have only tried this with 2.* IPL’s/SPL’s, I can’t be sure it will not brick devices running 3.* or 1.* IPL’s/SPL’s. It will be a few days before I can test this so if you have a 3.* or 1.* bootloader I would suggest you leave this well alone. Do not try this on a G4, there is no point and you may well brick it .
1: Install latest ActiveSync (If you’re upgrading from WM5-6 your going to need it)
2: Download the rar from my website.
3: Copy the contents of the “Copy to root of G3 Wizard device” folder to the ROOT of your Wizard using ActiveSync.
4: From File Explorer run the SPL shortcut from the root of the device.
5: Wait for the screen to go white (you are now running a patched SoftSPL running from RAM),
6: Unplug and reconnect the USB lead to the PC (you can check the connection with MTTY if your so inclined).
7: Wait a few seconds and start the ROM upgrade in “Flash-WizG3-PatchedSPL”.
If all goes well this will work just like a normal ROM update (without anything shown on your Wizard’s screen) and your device will reboot after a few mins.
Check the version of the SPL running, if it is SPL version 2.H4 all should be fine and your now running a CID unlocked device that can take any Wizard ROM.

What's the difference between CID unlock(using LokiWiz) and this proceudure (Hard Spl)?

To be honest, very little. Both leave you free to flash a ROM of your choice .
This just uses the same 'methods' as used with newer HTC devices and the G4 Wizards.
It will also be easy enough to wrap with ROM's to create 'G3' SoftSPL upgrades that flash to any G3 device without messing about. Just grab the installer, drop your nb.nbf of choice and run the upgrade.
I'll try and bundle up such an installer tonight if I get time.
Hmmm, why do I feel like I have hijacked this thread .
John
So You mean:
You can Create such an installer than given a certain NBF (OS) does even the CID unlock itself.
It would be great

I just got my new Cingular 8125/Wizard last week from my friend and found out about XDA developers and was intrigued with what I can do with my new device. I figured out how to flash the new WM6 onto my phone to replace the laggy WM5. Now that I have had this ROM for long enough, I'd like to change to a new ROM that I've found. Also, this new ROM is a different version of WM6. I don't know if I'm supposed to downgrade first or just start loading a new ROM on? If I am supposed to downgrade, how do I do it and what is the best program to use. Thanks in advance,
Brock
Start in the Wizard wiki (check link on top of page) where you'll find a lot of info to help you know your device; there are two generations of them. You can also get my tool - WST (check my signature) which will also help you.
Also pay attention to the stickies as they have valuable guides
good luck and welcome

Thank you. I have a G4 Wizard by the way. I looked through a lot of forums and through the Wizard Wiki and couldn't find how to flash a new ROM after on WM6, only on how to flash from the original WM5. I looked at WST and I'm a little confused. I'm not sure what it is or how to use it? Also, my phone is CDI unlocked. Also, what is the program WizardLove and what does it do? I see all the talk about it and I don't understand it.
No. You don't understand (or you didn't look carefully).
G4 Wizard CANNOT be CID unlocked with free software.
Head to the G4 subforum and look the stickies carefully,
First flash with your original carrier ROM, then use either SoftSPL or HardSPL to flash another version of WM6.

Ok what I meant is I flashed the HardSPL onto my G4. I'm on Cingular so what exactly is my original carrier rom and where do I find it? I already used HardSPL, do I need to do it again? Thanks again for everyones help. After I get this once, I won't have any more trouble

Ahh, you should have started by saying that you already knew what device you have and that already applied the HardSPL patch
Now, as long as you flash "G4 safe" ROMs (without IPL/SPL), you can try as many as you'd like. If you had used SoftSPL that would require to do it everytime you flashed a new ROM
cheers
I have watch videos...read instruction etc, etc, all I could on ATT Tilt/Kaiser flashing...I still don't have a clue. Do I do some type of CID unlock 1st....then is there a Jump SPL and than a Hard SPL. Is any of them two done from the boot loader screen. I can fix most electronics but I don't understand.. no you-tube video...i saw it on flashing the kaiser....sound quality bad for the hard of hearing (me).

Download Jump SPL and Run it. Then the hard-spl. This will then allow you to flash the custom ROMs on your Kaiser.
Regards,
Carty..
I just went through this a few days ago trying to flash my first custom rom. I have to agree it is incredibly confusing and contradicting, which is why I'm taking the time to post this. Just read as much as you can about it and don't try to flash the rom until you understand. I am no expert on this by any means, but this is what i did on my tilt to flash HardSPL. I tried to make this as simple as possible just so you see the exact steps I went through, but i highly recommend reading the thread linked in the previous post by Carty above and the other link I'm posting at the very end.
1. download JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061.
2. get the hardSPL version you need for your rom. I used v3.56 from the link Carty gave you in the post above, because the rom I am using was based on the official att 6.1 rom. You may need a different one for the rom you want to flash I don't know too much about this yet. Leave the folder where you unzipped the hardspl files open on your desktop so you wont have to look for it later.
3. connect your phone to the PC, and transfer JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe over to your phone with activesync. Remove your microsd card if you have one on your phone (very important).
4.run JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe on your phone, it should go to a bootloader mode with the tricolor screen and underneath it will say USB.
5.Unplug the phone from the PC, wait about 5-10 seconds and plug it back in. Activesync should NOT be able to recognize your phone. If it does, something went wrong so start over.
6. Finally you can run the KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the hardSPL folder on your pc desktop and follow the instructions. It will load the HardSPL on your phone.
7. if you want to make sure it loaded, shut down your device and when your are turning it on press both the power and camera button at the same time, it will go into bootloader mode and show you what SPL is on your device. mine says SPL-3.56.Hard after I loaded the hardspl. You are now ready to flash a new rom.
This wiki helped me the most:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Read as much of it as you can, especially the "SPL questions?" link, that was the most useful for me.
I hope this helps
All good advice! I just loaded the HardSPL on my phone for the first time and it worked perfectly.
Now all i need is a work connection that doesnt block my attempts to download ROM's!!!!!!

Unfortunately this is the Kaiser forum and you will get even less help here.
Post your questions in the Diamond forum and people will help,when and if they are able. And in the meantime, read and search and try to figure it out for yourself, All the steps and instructions are there.
Sometimes people, unfortunately, mistake this site for the HTC free support line, with 12 techs waiting at their PC's to help. Then they get irritated that no one answers their requests for help on a timely basis . If people won't or can't answer your questions then you need to figure it out on your own.
The bottom line is, if you don't know what you are doing, then you shouldn't be messing around with your phone. Sorry

And what I said was that this was the Kaiser forums and not the Diamond forums. Putting Kaiser Spl's on a Diamond will brick your phone faster than throwing it into a bucket of water. So I gave him a link to the Diamond forum and Diamond Security/CID/Sim unlocker.
How is your question related to the Kaiser forums ?
Will it work on my TP/Excalibur? No as phones have different hardware to which is why h-spl's are device specific.
The best way to help yourself and not get a brick "expensive paperweight" is to head to device subforum and do some reading, as last thing you want is to be creating a thread named "Help"

To "Format" your phone back to the Factory Settings your should perform a "Hard Reset". More info can be found in the Wiki here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Kaiser_Resets
Please take your time to familiarise your self with the wiki (Espicially the HTC_Kiaser page and what it links to).
Thanks
Dave
Take the time to read through the wiki and the forums related to your device. There is a wealth of information that can not be summarized in a few paragraphs.
It is well worth your time to be patient and read the material provided here.
