i flash my phone after many posts i read here .
tried alot of roms like NBD and BlackDIamond , but i decided to stay with Blackd.
anyway, after i flashed , i can see that i have AKU 2.3 .. what that mean ? and what's the difference between 2.3 to 3.3 ?
curious !
Adaptation Kit Update. Its a bit like the service packs that MS releases for Windows. Basically newer AKU's supposedly have different bugs fixed here and there.
great , so how can i upgrade mine ?
Perhaps, if you can tell us your IPL and SPL version, we can give you the awnser.
Depending on those versions, we can see if you have a G3 or G4.
umm 2.16.0001 ....
it's g4 fosure ..

Ok I’m a total noob and ‘ve have already unlock my T-Mobile MDA so I can use it as a Cingular cell phone . about I know I got a G3 since my
IPL is 2.xx
Spl is 2.xx
Gsm 2.35.11
os 2.26.10.
Now my Question is what’s next? What’s that rom I’ve been reading about? howe do i know what version i have ? What is the os 2.26.10? What version should I be using? how do I REMOVE THE T-Mobile logo an stuff? I know it’s a lot of question but I figured that every one can jump in and give me some knowledge than you very much .for reading this.
ROM = firmware = Windows mobile
OS 2.26.10.2 = newest oficial firmware
Radio 2.35.11 - I think it does not exist
IPL/SPL = bootloader (it depend on the end of that number) if you have G4 (IPL/SPL ends 0001), than you can`t unlock and write unoficial (better then oficial) ROM
T-Mobile logo is easy to rewrite by any unoficial ROM or by your cooked splash screen
for simplicity...think of a ROM as the operating system and the extended ROM as the bundled software your computer comes with...
you can flash your phone with any wizard ROM you'd like...and as a noob you may not know that most ROM's are cooked without network customizations so you'll need (in your case cingular) the cingular customizations cab file (do a search)
like johnny said...most custom ROM's have all the tmobile/cingular/etc bull**** removed so you won't have to worry about it
the os 2.26.10.x is the version number of a ROM (newest official as of right now)
know this...you will void your warrenty when you unlock your phone further which you'll have to do...so first go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and then find a ROM you like...
THX a couple more questions
Ok 1st I need to say THX to both Johnny & j3d1n4s7y For your reply I got a couple more questions if my SPl is 2.26 so I need to down grade to bring it back to 1.xx right?
What is
Rom 2.26.10.2 WWE & Radio 02.47.11 what are their purpose?
thank you in advance
Be Careful...
-tiouko-
I notice that you want to upgrade/downgrade ROMs. Be aware that there are two types of devices, G3 & G4 and you should be aware of what type of phone it is. If when you boot your phone & the IPL & SPL read 2.xx then you have a G3 phone if it reads 2.xx.001 or something like that then you have a G4. Be aware that if you use the wrong type of ROM to flash you will brick your phone - read; read; read; before you start flashing your ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 by Doc P is a great read if you have a G3
Good Luck!!
And Btw, I believe ROM stands for "Read Only Memory" which is where you write the OS and then the applications only read from this place. It is pretty much similar to the ROM on your PC.

... and WWE = "World Wide English", the language of the ROM. FRE might be for French for example. The World Wide part means that the version is applicable accross all English Locales, as opposed to having localised English versions for Australia, the US, and the UK for example.
Yeah man thanks for the warnings I believe that my is a g3 because is 2.26 and my spl is 2.26 with out the extension. I'm currently doing my readings carefully before i do anythings major.
This is a wonderful thread.
I am a newbie and I am facing lots of problem with my ROM.
I am using Dopod838 and my phone warrenty is void.
I am thinking to upgrade the ROM since my original rom does not support A2DP.
Since my phone is unlock, whereby I can use any provider sim card and use it in my phone, do I still need to unlock my rom?
I got one las question i confirmed that my wizard is a g3 according to the ultimate guide I should downgrade if i want to run home brew rom which is what i wanr to do . I've already downloaded the button rom 1.o5 along with lockwiz o.2b my question is do I cid unlock first or do I downgrade with button 1.o5 than cidunlock second I could of swear I was suppose to cid unlock first.Please help.

5th Sticky has the information you need, its title is:
SOLUTION FOUND -CID/sim UNLOCKING FOR WIZARD WITH AKU2 ROMS.
Gives you a step by step process. Basically you can't CID unlock until you downgrade to the button rom. By your post it looks like you have the tools you need. This thread will give you the instructions on how to use them and when.
Thx Buddy exactly what I wanted to know I'm going to get started I'll let you know how I did.

Yes I m .. hehe! I hv lots to read.. I still got to read through all the sticky note so that I can load a new ROM to my dopod 838.
I'll probe u when I bump into problem.. hehe!
Some of the best ROMs are introduced (and downloadable) via this forum. So you can check out yourself what they include and if it fits your needs.
The latest ROMs are based on AKU 3.2/3.5, but they are still in development and can be a bit buggy.
Personally I am very satisfied using the Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom (based on AKU2.3).

Qood question I'm not sure being that I', noob but i would assume that it's not cid unlock since you have to go the extra mile to get it cid unlock . can you tell me if you are seeing network logo ie singular or t mobile on the screen is yes it's possible that' it's not cid unlock. but keek asking hopefully some one would have the right answer for you. good luck

If in doubt just CID unlock again. It doesn't hurt anything and that way you can be sure that you are unlocked.

but when i start the upgrading it till me : u need newer NPF file
plzzz help me i really wanna upgrade 2006 looks soo beautifull
thanks in advance
First -- which WM6 ROM are you having trouble installing??
If you'll read the Wizard Mobile 6 forums, just about all the threads will advise you to flash the T-Mobile 2.26 for a strong 2.26 base before flashing to a WM6 ROM.
ok first things first
here is my device full information
ROM version 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date 2/6/06
radio version 02.07.1
protocol version 413.1.03
extROM version 2.16.9.102
model No WIZA200
microsoft windows mobile version 5 OS 5.1.195 build 14847.2.0.0
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.07.10
anything u want to know more just ask
------------------------------------------
for ur Q i have tried to flash faria the real thing & the new pandora
im not sure of what u mean by t-mobile but tell me how i can flash to a stronger base as u said & i'll try
thnx for the replies
From your last post, it looks like you already have a IPL/SPL of 2.26. Your initial post reported it to be 2.16. It also appears that you have a G3 chip, so there shouldn't be any problems in flashing any of the WM6 ROMs.
Try maybe a different ROM. I'm using the X-Plore 1.1 by anchillus and have been using it on my 8125 longer than any other one I've tried. In fact, my Wizard is starting to feel neglected. . .
From all the information you've given, you should be good to go with ANY ROM.
will what supposed to be inst happening
inst there anyone else that can suggest other things
also can anyone explain what is this NBF file & where can i get a newer one as the update tool is asking
thanx newbie2 for ur replies
i ask the other pro members to help me too
ok new update regarding my situation
i tried x-plore 1.1 as what newbie2 advised & it accepted the update
after its done there was no change it was still 2005
but i noticed that the when it started up the 2006 flash screen was there
i know that when this happened it mean that i didnt unlock the device but i would say that i did twice & in both of them the wizard started on its own
is there a signal that can make me be more sure that it was unlocked
still waiting for advise ppl
thnx for this forum again for every thing they do for us members

Yes I know the answer you're.... this is always the case when you're.... I'm certain you're.... CID-Locked.
You can only succesfully CID-unlock you're device from buttons 1.x rom! Lokiwiz can tell you it unlocked succesfully, but it didn't! Make sure you're not confusing CID from SIM-unlock. Follow this tutorial:

since i can't find hebrew to my WM6 ( too bad there aint no jew crackers ) , i decided to go on WM5 .
right now i'm with NBD 8.3 , and i really enjoy it , beside the non hebrew support .
is there any ROMS around here that based on WM5 , and have all the futures that WM6 has with the touchflo ?
i'm looking for some real stable and fast one ,
please holler back .
p.s - will it be an problem to upgrade to an old version , since i have WM6 already on my wizard ? ( i have G4 CIDlock )
I think you want to check out this thread . . .
Some interesting work putting WM6 apps on WM5 . . .
G4 also.
Hidden away on the G4 forum instead of Wizard Upgrading.
yeah i saw this one , but there is alot of bad comments there ...
i'll try to use it and see what's up
It appears to be coming along. I'm on an unlocked G3 so it's wm6 all the way, but this guy seems to be doing some interesting work.

I'm an owner of that t-mobile version of the himalaya and upgraded to "Tofclock WM6 Rom"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328633
(but I hope for a new build with a newer wm6 core )
which runs fine for me - clean and fast. Don't forget to upgrade your radio version to e.g. 1.17 since most t-mobile pdas run with 1.06 ...
If you follow the instructions step by step there is no reason for headaches .. and if everything failes (which is IMHO nearly impossible) .. go to ebay an buy a new one for around 100 bucks
So long
HonkBB
As far as I know there is no German WM6 for Himalaya on this forum
Starting of with that I'm a Newbie to these Roms and radio will probably get alot of posts with comments like "did you try the search bar, ..". But i'm giving it a go this way
my rom now is 1.56.00.00 and radio 1.27.12.11 - quite old yeah ? Anyway its a NL ( belgian ) radio i presume.
What can i do best to get my tytnt updated to wm 6.1 with a latest radio for my needs.
Does it matter wich rom i take ? is it regio-bounded ? if yes which newest radio file is available for dutch-belgian people ?
2ndly i heard that i need to unlock my phone first before i can flash this new rom on to it. do i lose my warranty on this tytnt then ? or can i backup the system and reinstall it later back if it has to go back for reparation in warranty?
remember im totaly new to this and it would be friendly if someone could give me a descent answer. Thanks
I would also be interested in this, i have HardSPL'd and managed to flash a HTC Asian WM6 ROM + latest Radio, but after 4 hours of reading these forums, cannot find a answer as to what i need to do to get to WM6.1. is it now just a case of flashing a 6.1 ROM?
Cheers,
Check the ROM development forum, there are several ROMs posted there.
You first need to unlock your phone, as it comes it wil not let you flash any ROM
To get Windows Mobile 6.1, just flash any of the many available ROMs, some of them are HTC official ones. The radio depends on the ROM, but basically they are divided between 1.64 or older radios, and 1.65 newer radios.

Check this thread about radios:

Yours is new, but it's a WM6 radio
Recent WM 6.1 radios are 1.58.XX.XX, 1.64.XX.XX. or 1.65.XX.XX
Check official HTC and AT&T shipped ROMS here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
Or try any of the cooked ROMS, they come with a lot of stuff preinstalled and different looks.
cheers trying NoThrills WM 6.1 V3 ROM atm, simplicity first
please read kaiser wiki ... its in english
a rom is a rom. As long as it is for your phone it's all the same. You flash the 6.0 the same as the 6.1..
