what is rom

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.

changing device model after a bad upgrade/downgrade

Hello baby and thanks to all,
this post is for the most experts I think.
I have done a bad upgrade/downgrade to my blue angel vodafone v1620 so,
before I have got an PH20B2 and now I have only a PH20B.
This is terrible!
I can't do anything now, no upgrade, no downgrade and, my radio doesen't work because the radio rom I can't install on it.
So I have only a win mob 2003 WWE without radio.
I have read all from this forum and wiki and I have tried a lot of file but I can't solve this problem without your precios SoS.
Someone could help me?
Sorry for my english.
Heard you AsAp!
GoodBye Bb

upgrade the radio with noid app

i have a similar problem, before upgrading i had a ph20a2 and now have ph20a1... flashing with noid doesn't change it back... any suggestions?

thanks xplode,
but if you mean mauppage/bauppage noid.exe
I've tried without success
thanks

i mean MAUpgradeUT_NOID.exe, and leave radio rom only in that folder, and the radio rom should be for your device only, this mess happens when you upgrade to a rom version which is not for your device

yes
I try now, can u tell me where I can found the radio rom for my device only?
thanks

Read The Damn Wiki Already!

OK i know you are new.. and maybe, just maybe a bit nervous because you have a device you cant use..
READ THE DAMN WIKI ALREADY!
There are so many ways to upgrade a rom, or extract it,
Let me give you a little hint.. Use that really bright shiny search button up there.. (ok so its not bright and shiny, but it is there!)
Press the down arrow, choose advanced search,
then type in MaUpgradeUt_noID,
then make sure that the forum is BlueAngel (on the right!)
then hit search...
That will bring all the posts with the words MaUpgradeUt_noID in the BlueAngle section of the forum.
There will be on that explains how to extract the radio for a released update..
and how to install it using MaUpgradeUt_noID instead of the other installers.
Multiple posting is stoopid.. This is the 3rd post i have seen from you regarding your device that you could have solved using your own head, and searching for the answer istead of sitting on your backside waiting for someone to post the link to solve all your problems.
I know this sounds harsh, and scarcastic, and a tad evil... EVERYTHING I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT A HTC DEVICE, I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS SITE,
and reading the wiki, and google, and all kinds of other services...
there is no shame in asking for help.. just exhaust all other options first!
And Spam posting is really really lame!

vodafone v1620
contact me for problem on vodafone v1620
I have a lot of experience on this device now

First, get rid of the red font and all uppercase... sheesh...
Second you need to read and read... You need to understand this stuff before you start flashing or you will find yourself with a dead phone.
I know this is a ton of info, but this post has links to all the great stuff here and you can learn just about anything you want.

Hmmm. . . Could be any of the following:
Korean Student Association
Kernersville Soccer Association
Kosher Supervision of America
Kansas Sportsmen's Alliance
Knowlton School of Architecture
KARACHI SCHOOL OF ART
Kauai Society of Artists
Kitchen Specialist Association
I'm gonna' vote for the first one on the list, since a Google search for KSA returned more hits for that than any of the others.

Sory for this kind of Font...Studied Enough Now

That means you have to have an IPL / SPL that are both 2.xx or higher. Don't try to do this with either IPL or SPL at 1.xx
You will have to CID Unlock your device first. So read and follow this guide (and the posts it takes you too). Don't skip steps and check your work as you go and you'll be fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Key is, you have to downgrade, CID unlock, downgrade again (to get SPL to 1.xx) then upgrade to an official 2.xx ROM. Only after you do all of that can you then try flashing WM6 (or other custom roms).

Thanks Fraz! you confirmed what i was thinking...
I got a used i-mate K-Jam, the x-user was using it just as Phone(for making/recieving calls/sms). So all things(ROMs) are genuine which is
IPL 2.16
SPL 2.16
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.16.9.1
U have cleared my confusion, so now i can proceed with Faria's WM6 (CB-AIRAF.exe 62.1 file size)
I have made a backup using aWizard (by ahlok_hk).
I also Unlocked it using aWizard (it was locked or not?i dont know, but i went through the Unlock Process & saw the msg that ur device is Unlocked now)Plz tell me how to know which device is CID locked or unlocked.
All things are ripped now...so i can go ahead with Faria's WM6...what do u say...?

I've never CID Unlocked that way. I've always used the links I pointed you to in my previous post. As far as I know there is no way to know if you are CID Unlocked for sure until you flash a new ROM. If it appears to work, but only the splash screens change (and everything else is just like it was before) then you are not CID Unlocked.
you can give it a try, but personally I'd recommend you do the steps in my previous post as that method definetly works.

Not only the radio (although I've not seen that version before) but more importantly the version of hardSPL used is for WinMo 6.0 and NOT WinMo 6.1 ROMs. A ROM that starts with 3. something is a WM 6.1 ROM. Altogether a real hotchpotch mixture. The OP needs to carefully check to make sure all the ingredients match up if the recipe is to succeed! Just realised it's the OPs first post so he or she may want to read the wiki (the link near the top of the page) about all of this stuff to get the gist before taking any further steps.

Please read all of the wiki for the Kaiser and all the information about which ROMs and Radios go together (links in the Kaiser wiki). Also read up about SPLs and then get back with which specific questions you have that aren't already covered. No one is going to hold the hand of newcommers who haven't fully researched things first. A hint is that the hardSPL versions starting with 3.something are for WM 6.1 ROMs whereas hardSPL versions starting with 1.something are for WM 6.0.

Hi Flying Kiwi
I guess we are or were all noobs at one point and everyone should read and research problems before asking questions. However sometime even when you research and dig through the vast volumes of info you still need a little help. All this info can be a little intimidating especially when you are new to the process. then to get an answer that (No one is going to hold the hand of new commers who haven't fully researched things first.) Well that could even make that person a little more intimidated the next time he/she has a question.
I have been lurking arouind here for a while reading and digging for info on different roms, radios, themes. I have flashed a few roms now and still have questions but am not sure I should ask them because some where in this massive web site there might be a wiki I might have missed, and I too will become one of those noobs who get chastised by a senior member for not doing enough research.
I also have a Tilt and have flashed pda ultimate Full v15 Rom date 01/01/08 radio that is recomended by the rom 1.65.24.36. Protocol 25.94.40.06H.
I used HardSPL 3.29 with windows 6.1 I have even downloaded a few fixes for my camera that have not worked, still a black screen. But I am still trying to get it to work. other roms I have tried Duttys and hyperdragon the camera worked, but quit after a while with hyperdragon. More than likely something I did or installed to make it stop showing up on the screen. We are all unsure at some point.
Not looking for someone to hold my hand just looking for help without the frustration of someone who has been doing this for a while and thinks everyone should be as good as they are at thinking through a problem.
Not trying to step on your toes and hope you don't take this the wrong way, I have seen others with the same frustration in their answer.

Tim
