gsm 2.25.11
Os 2.26.10.2
I need to get this fixed asap as this is my only phone. Please help!!!!
Turn into bootloader and up Official ROM.
Try it if your wizard is T-Mobile Variop.

Also make sure your Storage card is removed before you flash.
Is your phone CID unlocked?
I had a molski rom working on it before i just wanted to update cause alot of things stopped working. I use cingular service so i cant use the tmobile rom. I have installed the tmobile rom so i know it will take a rom. Im just having a hard time getting anything new to work. the CID was unlocked at one time will that change when i tried to upgrade or reinstalled the tmobile rom?

No, you should not have to unlock it again, unless you burned the button 1.05 rom again. Then you have to unlock it again.
so which rom which i try? Its a T-mobile MDA G3 and im using it for cingular service?

I have been reading these forums for about a month now. I finally bought a unlocked MDA that I am currently using with cingular. I think my phone is CID locked don't really know. I want to upgrade the rom it still has 1.8.10.2 WWE Rom, It has 01.09.10 for the radio rom. I tried to update to the newest Qtek 9100 rom but it gave me a error on the updater. Can I update to the newest T-mobile rom and not have it locked back up? Please help I tell me what to do.
Thank,
Niko
hello there
Don't load the new tmobile version...download the 8125 ROM from here:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/cingular_8125.html
It will work and make the phone a Cingular ROM phone. I did it today and it's awesome.
If you decide to upgrade the ROM to cingular, when you get to the end of the progress bar and it seems to stop for a long time...wait longer!!! It will work.
Good luck.
Can someone please help me out my friend told me he got WM6 working on his T-Mobile MDA, and i'm using a 2.26 ROM I got from here a while back
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
He sent me : T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2261020_226_22511_ENG_US.exe
I ran this and apparently that's how I got the version i'm running now, I forgot which I had pervious, but I ran that, everything went smooth, it ran autoconfig etc, CID unlocked beforehand, and then i got CB-AIRAF.exe from here and then I ran it, it updated and completed, but when the phone boots up it is WM5.. it then says please wait 3 seconds to customize, then it puts up an error message reading "\Windows\AutoConfig.exe Not found" or something similar, and then that app closes, and the phone is bare bones WM5.. why the heck isn't Wm6 installing? it's very frustrating.. someone bare with me and help me figure this out i'd be greatly appreciated.
If it's easier to contact me via AIM.. my SN is Cynth3tik
You apparently aren't CID Unlocked. Do the CID Unlock procedure at the top of this forum. Then make sure you flash the official TMobile ROM again to get back to IPL/SPL 2.26. Then upgrade to teh Faria rom.
The official tmobile rom.. i'm not sure which that is or where i get it from.. is that the cooked tmobile rom file i have ?

ok i've done that now i can attempt to install the Faria rom ?
No. As I said, I think you are CID locked and thats why the update failed before. You now have to go through the steps of CID Unlocking. Please go to the top of this forum and find the Sticky by Dr. Putingham that is on how to CID Unlock your phone (title starts like [Read First]). Follow that step by step (line by line). Don't skip anything. You will downgrade, run a tool, downgrade again, and then upgrade back to this TMobile ROM. After all that, then you should be good to go for doing Faria's (or any other custom ROM). Once you CID Unlock you shouldn't have to do it again (unless you ever go back to a 1.x ROM at some point).
ok guys i followed the forum on how to unlock.. i installed the buttons rom, then CID unlocked, then put the official TMO rom on, then installe the Faria Crossbow, it worked !
BUT... the screen where it says tap the screen to set it up.. i tap it and it does NOTHING, as if its froze, i restarted it, same thing :-( any ideas?
EDIT: SRRY! i pulled the battery out and put it back in and it works! thanks for all the help guys!
Might anyone know why if i had a contact with a picture stored for them, i backed up/synced to Outlook 2007 before the upgrade to wm5, and outlook has the pics stored just fine, but when i sync with wm6, all my contacts sync except for ones with pictures...any ideas ?
Glad you made it to WM6, and able to figure out your issue with the screen.
As for pic contacts not sync'ing I'm not sure. I don't sync with outlook (I use SyncML with my company calendar) and my pic contacts all did fine that way from WM5 to WM6.
Hows it going guys this is my first post....ive had so many problems since switching to cingular with my tmobile MDA its hillarious!...i unlocked the MDA...got it too work with Cingular! I thought everything was perfect untill i realized i couldnt receive any text messages from any other carriers. Meaning if i used my cousins cingular phone to text my phone it would work....if i used my sprint phone...nothing would reach my phone...so i serched n applied all kind of cingular MMS GPRS settings .CAB files still nothing. If i put my SIM into an offical cingular phone the same thing happens...so now im hoping if i put the cingular rom on my phone it will make things better.. I need to downgrade first because every CID tool i use wont work but i found out its because i have 2.25 so basically does anyone have an old 1.XX offical T-Mobile ROM backed up anywhere or know how i can receive all text messages from all carriers?? Thanks
welcome...and in the future if you take a few minutes to read the stickies and wiki, you may very well get your answer.
the following link is to a sticky which links to button's 1.05 rom.

well thanks for the help but when i try installing that rom it locks up at 98% everytime and gives me an error....is this becaise of that CID thing is still locked????
Did you follow that tutorial step by step??? I had no problems with the button rom so I am not sure. I myself followed that tutorial when I recently unlocked my MDA and it went without a hitch...make sure you run lokiwiz twice and button twice. Not sure what else to tell you...sorry.

No, the Button rom is for the purpose of unlocking and is a really low IPL/SPL which was before the CID locking stuff was around.
I've read on another post that someone was having problems flashing the button rom like you are, and they were finally able to flash it by changing their radio rom first (I don't know if they had one of the newer radio's or what). Doesn't make sense to me as I've never seen that before, but what they heck, you could try downgrading to like the 2.19 T-Mo UK radio to see if that helps.
Also, have you tried flashing the T-Mobile 2.26 rom to your phone? Since this is an MDA and you are running Cingular 2.25 it sounds to me like you were already CID Unlocked (and you don't have to downgrade again to switch carrier roms, just switch).
It also is best to remove your sd card when doing the downgrading procedure.
is there anyway to "shelltools" flash my radio rom? I've been missing a lot of calls lately and it really is becoming inconvenient. I havent unlocked my phone, but i am running wm6 using shelltools (mfrazzz's stuff) and i was wondering do i even need to have my phone unlocked to flash my radio? i dont want to lose my warranty so thats why this matters to me. Any ideas guys?
You may get the official (in your case, T-Mobile, I guess) ROM to flash your phone with the full set of WM5 ROM (e.g. IPL, SPL, OS and Radio). As you are using the official ROM, you do not have to CID-unlock your phone prior flashing this official ROM. After that, you may then use shelltool to update/upgrade/flash the WM6 in, while the radio is untouched (e.g. still using the one you've flashed with the official ROM).
i thin i have done what you said already. Before i flashed mfrazzz's wm6 rom i flashed the latest tmobile rom, then i proceeded to flash the wm6 rom. I didnt use shelltools to flash the official tmobile rom obviosuly, but i did use shelltools to flash mrazzz's wm6 rom.
these are my things from what i'm using now:
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gsm 02.25.11
os 2.18.0.0
Flash the t-mobile uk radio rom 2.19.11.. that'll work for u.
ur OS is wrong if ur running wm6...
2.18 is Crossbow Reloaded... or Faria's..

ok thanks guys for all the help, but i still have a couple small questions
first, in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=253609&page=4
(post #34) he says that if you dont cid unlock before applying the radio rom you will brick the phone.
next im looking for that uk rom, but i really cant find it, can anyone point me in the right place? and even though im in the US it will still work right?
thank you guys so much! i really aappreciate it

I have flashed my RADIO ONLY several times with no consequences for my CID LOCKED G4 Wizard, here´s the link for the RADIO ONLY
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Thread/T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radio_Only.zip
You have flashed RADIO only on you G4? HOW? I am having the following problem:
I had to flash a T-Mobile German ROM to use the shelltool for the latest WM6 ROM, it worked but unforunately I have got Radio 2.69 and IPL 3.08.XXX1. (from the latest official MDA Vario ROM flash before)
After the Hardreset everything went fine - I've got WM6, but after i had changed the Clock settings and restarted my device i simply have NO SIGNAL anymore. I am currently in australia maybe thats the reason???
I tried to install the offical T-Mobile AKU 2.0, but the RUU shows me error 296 as I have installed a later ROM AKU3.3 bevor my WM6 flash.
Which tools have y used? And how is the procedure?
Cheers!!!

No, we can´t flash a ROM with bootloader other than the one you have if you have a G4 CID locked device. Unless you use a RUU with no ID (see next paragraph) and the nb.nkf file lacks of IPL/SPL, such is the case of the Wizard Love which I use before to flash any other ROM with the Shell Tool.
Read post #2 of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310954
Read carefully where talks about Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4, same procedure for splash screen applies to RADIO. This doesn´t work for OS, for OS you have to use Shell Tool.
Good luck!
Qtek 9100 had molski 2.26 build and tried to flash ROM to XDA mobile 6. Now it sits at boot loader three colour screen showing IPL/SPL 2.26 and won't update further than 99%.
Any ideas how to resurrect this one?
UPDATED: I take it the lack of response means I've got me a brick then?
Go To This link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
Then Go Download the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM which is in Step 17.
After That run it install the rom and everything should be back to normal.
that keeps happening to me while Upgrading to WM6. I Still Can't Get it to Work Right.
Have you tried to upgrade to a WM5 with AKU3 before jumping to WM6? Molski has a WM5 AKU3 2.26 ROM
I'm having similar trouble and feeling like an idiot. I've done ROM flashes before but have since had my MDA returned a couple times for warranty exchange and I'm afraid the CID unlock didn't "take"...when trying to flash to WM6 it got to 99% and then returned error 302...No problem, I'll just start over with an official ROM, right? Well, I can't seem to get through a ROM update now because the Tri-color screen is flashing on and off at various intervals and that is interrupting the connection.
Does a flashing bootloader mean I've officially bricked it or is there something I can do about this?
Help please! I love my MDA and want it back!
i already had the same problem, the simple solution which is that you have to make unlock your phone i mean both the sim unlock and cid unlock otherwise your phone will not do wm6
fixed
Got mine fixed by using the Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe from the link in the definitive guide sticky.
Many thanks for your responses.
