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 !!

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.

how much did you overclocked?

LOL!!!

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.

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.

i also experienced this problem with MMS settings, what i did was delete the settings faria provided and ran a cab file once, soft reset then ran the cab file again and now my settings are there.

i mean your AKU 3.2 RC1.
Let me tell you the whole process that i followed to have a
better understanding:
1. ROM before upgrading:
-IPL 2.25
-SPL 2.25
-Radio 02.47...
-OS 2.26 (Shogun_A_La_Card's ROM)
2.What i see after upgrading to your new ROM:
-IPL 2.25
-SPL 2.25
-Radio 02.25.11
-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.

Welcome to the Fourm!!!!
One of the 1st things to do is to master the search command, you can find just about damm near anything concerning the wizard.
Here is your freebie!

-darthas- double posting is one sure way to get noticed... please refrain.

Have patience. It seems to be stuck at 96/98%, but it will go further after a while.

i colud fix it-thanks to all
hi i fixed the phone, i update with a cingular room, and after that i follow the another steps to unlock...

ROM Upgrade Errors
99% of all errors that occur while upgrading your rom can be fixed. The most important thing, as others have already said, is to be patient. If there is an error, let the upgrade program catch it. It will tell you how to recover from it. It seems like most issues in this realm are caused by impatience. Hopefully you will share with others in this forum what you have learned. ::: Posted from my Wizard :::

is a 1.04.10 radio a valid radio for a 2.xx rom?
If you are stuck, the only/best way to recover is to flash an official rom from your carrier. You can get to the bootloader so you are NOT bricked. You are just flashing roms that have a CID that doesn't match your phones. Try the button rom or the wizard love rom that the unlocking stickies mention repeatedly.
Were your IPL/SPL 2.18 before you started?
Read the Wiki, Read the stickies. For every person that says the process doesn't work there are 100 that it works flawlessly for and 99% of the time those that can't get it to work don't follow all the steps in order or just outright skipped steps or substituted with what THEY thought was better. There is a reason for each and every step in the guides. IF you follow them properly you WILL NOT have any issues.
For the situation you are in now: STOP trying to flash custom roms, you MUST get your phone back to a usable state before you go down that path again. Use your carriers latest available rom to recover your device.
Also you are lucky to get an answer at all because your question is asked in almost every single new thread and every single ROM thread. The answers are already easily found if you take the time to look yourself.

thanks man, i tried the original orange rom and it worked.
RUU_Prodigy_2180103_21801103_OR_NL_DUT_Ship.exe
im so happy, thank you for all your helpful comments
2.18 before i flased is yes.
i wanted to copy a new rom to my device, but i thought it was cid locked.
so i followed step by step the guide from faria
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116&highlight=stuck+at+98%
but i think the problem was that i did not have an aku2 or whatever that means.
Im sorry if im being rude, but you people do a wonderful job on those roms and step by step guide's but u forget that there are people that have no clue what aku2 means when i google is, it says a new rom from t-mobile with wm5 but it doenst say how somewone can check for themselfs if they have an aku2 rom...
Im verry sorry for those noob questions but it look like a heva the same rom that i had before i messed it all up.
so can i install a new rom from here? like one of these?

You will not be able to install a CUSTOM rom until you CID unlock. I don't believe the Black 3.0 rom is available for the Wizard. It is a Hermes rom. There are several WM 6 roms available for the wizard, you should probably look in the WM6 sub-thread once you get yourself completely CID unlocked.
The tutorial tells you everything you need to know, even if you don't know anything about anything. Just read the instructions follow the links to download the roms/tools that it is talking about. If you don't understand the instructions you can post in that thread and the authors or others will help you there. Though they most likely will not respond until you show that you have read and at least have an idea of what you are trying to do, where you started where you are and where you would like to end up. If you don't understand the instructions there is always the IMEI unlockers site that will give you a utility to do it if you want to pay them for it.
Why are you trying to upgrade? Do you need to upgrade? Are you willing to void your warranty on your phone? Can you live without it if something drastic happens and you truly do brick your device, in most cases you will not be able to exchange your phone under warranty? If you haven't defined the first question or answered no to any or all of the other questions you shouldn't be rom flashing, especially not with unapproved roms that aren't supported by your carrier. You need to measure the potential gains against the risk of doing these things to determine if it is right for you. Once you get unlocked and flash a couple of roms you will see that it is easy and relatively safe as long as you read and follow the instructions they are tried and true and do work if they are followed properly.
I would suggest using this thread to unlock your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435

The Wizard Love rom is another that people use when the Button rom doesn't work for them. I don't have a link to it but I am sure it is linked in the Upgrading or G4 sub-forums. Maybe even in the Wiki. Sorry haven't been spending much time in the Wizard forums as I only flash my wizard when something breaks, or a new feature is added -- My wife uses that phone now .
There is always the pay to unlock website but you should be able to get it unlocked with either button or the wizard love rom.
Just out of curiosity how long do leave it sitting at 98% before you determine that it is stuck? All roms "stick" at a few points during the flashing process. If you didn't wait at least 5 minutes or get an error on your PC you probably didn't wait long enough. Best advice I have on this is disable all power management/screen savers on your PC set up the flash. Once it starts leave the room and close the door for no less than 30 minutes. This way you can be sure that you didn't interrupt it. For a Wizard the flash should complete in 10 minutes or less. For the Hermes it can take a full 30 minutes depending on your flashing method an which components you are flashing. It is normal to hang for a few minutes at different points during the flash process, just because there is no transfer doesn't mean something isn't being decompressed/written on the device from what has already been transferred over.

Nervous about upgrading with error 'message' in place

There is a problem with my MDA: It continually flashes the volume/ringer control on the screen with the circle with the loudspeaker and mic turned off. This flashes every second or two and when it flashes, prevents pretty much anything else from working or command from executing.
I had a very old TMobile software version on it. I down loaded a much newer version from TMobile in an attempt to get rid of this problem before upgrading to XDA firmware: (The whole thing is very out of warranty)
The upgrade went successfully but the flashing volume / ringer control still flashes.
Does anyone know what this means or if upgrading to XDA will get rid of this problem (or exacerbate it!)

Has anyone noticed IF there is a problem with Puttenham's "Step 17"?
I got around my nerves about upgrading this G3 with a hardware problem in place and appear to be encountering a severe problem with Step 17 which is that it says it is "Your Choice" to go to a 3.08 SPL/IPL. Nowhere however does it say which later ROMs you can apply if you DO choose to go with the 3.08. I applied this to correct what I thought was the hardware issue (reinstalling the T-Mobile ROM at SPL 2.26 didn’t seem to cure it) and the 3.08 did install properly and cured the hardware problem.
I tried different ROMs because I cant seem to understand how to use VoIP or which ROM will let me use this 'feature' or which ROM has this feature built it as some say they have deliberately taken it out.
Suddenly I am getting error messages telling me that the unit needs a later ROM revision to install perfectly.
(WizardLove was the first to do this: It executes in Italian and as I mentioned, just tells me that it needs a later version to work)
So I reflashed with the Molski ROM which is the only one which seems to be around and the flash worked up until 94%. At that stage the progress bar turned to red and there was an error message telling me that I can recover and try again. I did this a few times and SEEM to have bricked my Wizard (When the Molski upgrade failed, attempts to chkdsk, reboot, delete all temp files etc failed). The unit will now only boot to the three-colour screen? Further attempts to flash seem to see and read the device and tell me either that there is no ROM on it and would I like to upgrade? Followed by this unexplained 'USE LATER ROM'. (There may be a problem with installing the T-Mobile ROM on an unlocked Wizard with a 3.08 IPL/SPL However it has to be said that Molski is, still, the only ROM which runs and it inevitably stops at the same position, the 94% mark when the MDA progress bar goes red, the unit shuts down, the upgrade process thinks about it for a while and ultimately reports ERROR [302] UPDATE ERROR)
Alternatively they (for example ROM Update Utility 2.00.1) tell me that there is no communication between the PC and the Wizard. Actually ActiveSync 4.5 does show no connection between the device and the PC, which I suppose I would expect if the Molski ROM failed to complete? Device Manager seems OK with the unit being in place though? And I cant believe this is important as there obviously IS connection between the computer and the PDA
Easymob said he would let users have a path to a ROM they could use but no where is it set out which ROMs you can use of the ones you actually CAN find?
I have also tried the Xelencin ROM which initially tells me that it cant see the PDA. Then it admits that it can and tries to unlock the CID (which surely must be already unlocked by now if I have upgraded to the later SPL??)
I am not sure I have a totally bricked unit, - The Xelencin T-Mobile ROM MUST be doing something because it does successfully run the RAPI unlock and after a few error messages telling me it can't access the MDA, reports DONE! But then it tries to run Machinagod's HTC Wizard Unlocker and gets stuck. It shouldnt get stuck at this step as I must already BE unlocked! It should pass this step.
I can hear hdd movement (not churning) but the program doesn’t progress past this step. Ultimately this carries on for hours and the Wizard shuts down I presume when the battery fails as the charge function doesn’t seem to work in ROM upgrade three colour screen mode. Plugging the charger in now doesnt seem to do anything
Again as the program was built for the 2.26 SPL, I still cant figure out whether these available ROMs should run on the 3.08 which I followed in the STEP 17.
MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH: Is there a more obvious answer to why Molski always fails at precisely the same 94% position?

1.- I don´t think you have a G3 because de IPL/SPL you posted, but is very strange that Wizard Love RUU reported such error in a G4
2.- What kind of upgrade you wanted to do?
3.- Reflash your original ROM if you have it available.

Mod edit: Please refer him to the wiki before posting such information.

Yes, I have a G4 phone, you can see on my sign, but my friend with the phone broken have a G3, and now he can install any kind of rom, the important it's that it works.

So.... problem solved?

Mine is a G4 (2.25.001) The trailing 0001 is what so far has identified a G4

when I was first trying to flash my phone I read anything 2.21 and above was a G4... so perhaps I READ the wrong information.

I got lost buddy

Could you provide the specifics of your friend´s phone?
* IPL / SPL (Current and original)
* Original ROM
* What ROM he was flashing when he got for the first time the white screen?

The brick phone is a G3 with 2.26 IPL and SPL, from the T-mobile ROM. He brick the phone installing the prekitchen ROM from Faria.
Now Following the faria instruction, he would like to flash with wizard love rom, but he get the wrong update tool error. Did you know if there are some other possible solution?
In booloader mode, when I connect to the usb, in the phone screen appear USB, so I think that the phone it's not completely gone.

You´re right, if you have the tricolor screen and USB connection you´re safe, no worries!!! We can save it!
Have you tried the original T-Mobile? This one should do it, if you don´t succeed with the original ROM you may try Wizard Love but you have to use the right RUU, in this case pull de nk.nbf file from the Wizard Love and put it into the folder were the original T-Mobile RUU is (this would replace the original T-Mobile nk.nbf with the one from Wizard Love), then execute the original T-Mobile RUU with the new nk.nbf of course your Wizard connected to the PC, remove miniSD card (if any) and make sure you dissable the activesync connection
If my explanation sounds confussing for you, check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107
Good luck!

Thanks, I downloaded the T-mobile ROM, insert the love ROM nk.nbf and tried to upgrade...I get this error message:
Error 238: File Read
So, I extract the T-mobile, and launch the RUU directly, using the t-mobile nk.nbf, and not the wizard love one.
Now I'm flashing!!!!

Good for you!
