Keep in mind that flashing to a nonofficial rom voids your warranty. I am in no way responsible for any issues you may come across when attempting to update your rom. Please keep your questions about this rom in this thread, various users including myself can help you if needed. Please do not pm me with general questions about this rom or the mda, they would be better answered in the thread.

[ Description ]
I was going to wait until the AKU 2.2 update was released before cooking a new rom but I've grown impatient. This is the latest os rom available and while it doesn't add anything new feature wise I have changed some other things around for the better. The first thing I did was update the rom install process to automatically attempt to CID-UNLOCK the device and because of this change I have recompiled all of my current roms with the new installer. The second thing I did was go through ALL of the T-Mobile default customizations and cropped out only what was needed; I also cleaned out all of the other cabs used during the customization process. The third thing was creating a new set of registry tweaks to my liking. In the end, on a fresh boot the device has over 40MB of storage space available and over 25mb of memory free.
If you have issues upgrading to the 2.x roms I would advise downgrading to 1.08 first and then try installing 2.x roms again.

Enjoy!
just in case I would install a english ROM (german ones are usually quite late), could I change the keyboard language?

so what's so special about this ROM? Did they remove the stupid battery meter from where the date/time should be? I already like 2.17 even though the caller id doesn't show up on my BT headset as it did on my old JAM. Was it worth the upgrade?
Thanks for doing this!! I too have become anxious and would like to upgrade. I have been running the last custom rom you cooked and I have been happy with it thus far. However, as of recently I have been having the random phone resetting issue that has been discussed in various other threads.
Does your current custom rom address that issue, as well as put in the stereo BT fix?
Looking forward to doing the upgrade!!
Upgrade working great so far.
Upgrade!
I have a sickness. I have to apply updates when they come available. It is a strange compulsion. Am I alone? I actually love doing it.

I never had this issue but other users are reporting random bug fixes with this OS version so it may help.

Since I don't own a stereo bluetooth headset I didn't include it yet. It can be found on my site though under notused apps. ZokiA2DP.
xelencin - YOU ARE THE MAN ! ! !
thanks again for all the work ... I have been using your 2.17 ROM since the day I got my T-Mobile MDA flawlessly and I just saw you released a new one - I'm going to install it right now.
keep up the good work ...
Keyboard tweaked
Just installed this on a Qtek 9100 and now the keyboard is no longer mapping to what the silk screen on the key says it should be. Looks like there are some differences in key mappings between the MDA and the 9100. I did try switching it from USA English to UK English and then back to see if it was a Regional Setting error and there was no change. It is not huge differences, but large enough that when you are using the keyboard that you have to hunt around with the "alt" button until you find the right key you are looking for. The hyphen key now maps to the underscore when you press the alt key now- stuff like that. Will definitly want to be careful if you intend to install this on a 9100 or Kjam, I think.

Tmobile USA MDA
Hi,
I am new to this and have been reading the msgs on this forum for a few days now. I just got the new MDA they have available in the USA. I just DL :
T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2210401_221_20710_ENG_US.exe
I did not install this yet. Still am a bit confused
I know its stated that it will automaticly unlock the CID, but how about the SIM? Will it also unlock the SIM? If so I guess there is nothing else to do, as it will unlock both SIM and CID and then install the new ROM. If not how do I unlock the SIM?
Also another question I have is RING TONES!! tmo only has a handful of ring tones installed. I have some great ring tones that I have on my old phone. I want to transfer them to the MDA, but where would they be saved to on the MDA, and how would I select them?
Thank You in advance for everyones help.
FM
thanks for the new rom. Im a newbie here and i just used the lokowitz to unlock my o2 xda mini s.My question on this new rom is there a special way to run it or should i just copy it onto my mini s and just execute it. I already unlocked it and im using it for tmobile usa, just need to get the tmo rom. please advise.
xelencin, thanks as always.. i downloaded yesterday from here. Have to wait till after plumber comes and goes before i update... :roll:
Adding A2DP AVRCP
Xelecin:
Nice work as usual. I just barely flashed the 2.17. I was using the 2.8 Qtek Test ROM because of the A2DP and AVRCP. Can this be added to your ROM somehow?
Also, is it bad to flash the ROMs a few time?
Thanks in advance.
just dloaded it - and gonna give it a try...
cheers!
:wink:
what is the difference between the rom's you upload to ftp
I have mda vario. I want to upgrade rom but I'm not sure that I know the right rom available. xelencin upload 3 rom to ftp server of xda-developers(ftp://xda-developers.com/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/xelencin/). I don't know what is the difference so I want to learn the correct rom for my mda vario. Thank you
Do the ipl, spl, radio and os all come from O2 UK ROM? (which is the fastest base ROM I have tried).
Many Thanks
Martin
clock and battery still in same place wtf gives?!?
I installed this ROM on my Wizard. The express reason I installed it was because the wi-fi was non-functional for me on the stock T-Mobile firmware. This firmware doesn't seem to work either in the wi-fi department for me. The Wizard detects my wireless network and I'm prompted to enter a key (I use just WEP encryption). I enter the key and it never seems to connect. I have entered the key numerous times to make sure I have it right to no avail. One time it did seem to make a connection with my wireless network but quickly disconnected. There are other devices on my wireless network so I know it's working. My wireless network is just a simple Netgeat 802.11b access point. This is getting really frustrating. I'm running out of idea on what to try and was hoping for some help here.
Hey,
I just flashed my friends MDA with this new firmware with the 2.21 custom and everything went fine except after its done and i rebooted it, i am getting "Data Crashes. Please contact your system provider" and where the start button is, SIMlock is being displayed. Is there something obvious that i have missed or whats going on? I have the MDA too, succesfully installed 2.17 a few weeks ago. Any ideas?
ROM NO LONGER AVAILIABLE FROM XDA-DEVs FTP (thanks alot MS)
NEW updated rom comes as a complete install package for use on CID UNLOCKED Charmers that have the 2.06 SPL and IPL bootloaders installed (this can be checked on startup or in the bootloader)
New features include
* Crossbow Theme, also includes reskinned dialpad and WMP
* Crossbow System Sounds
* Latest OV9650.dll Camera driver - a vast improvement on previous
* HTCs X-Button
* New HTC Logo on bootup
* Customized Extended Rom
For those on T-Mobile, use the attached cabs to install settings for Internet and MMS
Doesnt seem to work!
Hi
Just flashed my device with this ROM it doesnt seem to work, kept crashing.. had to reboot and reinstall T-mobile ROM ... stay clear !
Sorry I must disagree with the last statement I did mine about two weeks ago (oct 06) BUT I never install extended rom just pick cabs I need, mine seems faster and more stable than the old install
T Mobile skin remains!!!
Hello.
I have instaled this rom update but T Mobile skin is still in dial pad. I did as you write - reset before customizing. The other T mobile stuff doesnt exist so is ok. But this T Mobile skins for dial pad is awful. What can I do??

well youve done something wrong cos it works fine on mine and others.
with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable. keep holding until the bootloader comes up. now you can install the original t-mobile package

Hiya.The device remains killed.It has gone from bad to worse!
The device remains dead!Repeat dont install it just in case guys!!!
Now I've bought an Wizard (Qtek 9100) with a broken screen for 50 quids and I'm going to use my LCD Screen on that device.Been told it's the same one.If it isnt gotta send it to the bin.
MDA Compact 2 Bricked Help...
Hiya
I've already decided to use my MDA Compact 2 LCD Screen on my Wizard device. But I noticed that someone has had the same problem while falshing it with a wizard room.What I'm asking now is very important to him. He'll be able to enter in the bootload mode by holding the camera and power bottom while the device is connected to the power charger.The big issue is: The device will be out of the bootload mode everytime it is taken out of the power.And no,that's not possible to put it into bootload mode while using USB connection,I dont know why.
So normally the problem is to get into the bootload mode.I've managed it.So now I can see just two ways out.One: reflash it using the SD card (there must be someone out there able to do it) or find a hybrid "usb/charger connector" in order to "fool" the device.I mean, a usb conector which has an USB and Power as well just like the one that Motorola uses to their Motorola A1000 device.
Regards
Luiz Santos
cos youve trashed the bootloaders by installing a wizard rom, an SD backup is the ONLY option to fix it, theres no way of uploading a rom with a cable now. also the SD backup will only work if the wizard rom you installed didnt contain bootloaders for a G4 device.
Hello .. thx for the OS ... works fine ... but one thing .. where i can change the softwarebuttons?
ups ... sry ... found it ..
What are the main changes that you have made to make this an unbranded rom?
I thought that all the branding was stored in the extended rom anyway, which hasnt been changed.
ive downloaded it but just want to find some more info on iot before i try it.
Also what cabs would i need to get the tmobile settings back for mms and gprs etc, but none of their ugly skins
Can someone confirm that my device is the right version for this ROM please?

only a small part of the tmob branding is installed from the ext rom, mainly a different set of icons for the start menu, the rest was in the base rom. as far as i can remember, the branding i removed was
phone pad t9 input was replace with standard htc graphics from tmobs pink and grey
tmobs pink and grey dialler was removed, leaving the standard windows one
tmobile carrier logo removed from dialler
internet explorers 1st page has tmob stuff removed.
i recommend installing the following from the ext rom
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_EmailWizDB_PPC_TMOUK_060216.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP-Shorcut-MMS1-JAVA6XX-CV-VOICE-EmailWiz-TMO-051215.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_DiscoButton_8.sa.CAB

and then for tmobile users to install all tmob settings for mms, internet etc
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_Customization_TMUK_Charmer(AKU2.0 )_060414.CAB - sets up mms settings
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Connection_TMUK_CHM_20602102.cab - tmobile gprs settings

Thanks for that, could you also tell me when to reset to stop the TM branding and where to find the cabs mentioned?
"i havent worked out how to insert a modified extended rom in the package, so you'll still need to soft reset at customization on first start to avoid tmobile crap then go in and install what you need."

Have you installed this rom and did it remove the tmobile branding on the phone dialer?
Hello people, I have a question for you. I recently did the Upgrade of my Qtek 9090 to WM 5 (device data now is PH20B WWE 5.03.02 1.12.00). It seems to be working fine (have yet to test wireless connection), but I discovered that I can't get the camera on the phone to work. For some reason, it simply does not react to camera button. It also does not react even when I try with the manual startup of pictures & videos application. Does anyone has any idea how to get out from this one? If this is any help, the original phone data were PH20B 0 B WWE E DANGA102 1.40.00 0 0 1.40.147 1.12.00 12.00.
Thanks a lot
Simple but crucial question: Which WM5 rom you flashed? Have you read specific information about this rom? maybe this one requires some post-instalation operations?
Basically, I found this ROM on www.buzzdev.net, and it only stated BA WM2005 5.03.02WWE - standard upgrade. It is basically the only one which worked for me, since every other dumped me (the model of the phone matched the ROM). However, there were no additional explanations for this, so I am stuck. Is there any registry tweak, or aditional piece of software which could make it work, or I will have to go looking further for better ROM?
As long as we don't know what is the problem with the ROM, we cannot help you - some ROMs just had camera support cut out, others needed installing additional software, some had errors.
About model/device check: please take any recent WM5 rom (baniaczek's for starters) and just read carefully flash instructions from Wiki - there is no problem with device check, if you understand what you do and how you should do it.
Thanks Jakub for good advice, I've been doing some reading and I tried baniaczek's latest issue from the web. However, I've got stuck. Namely, MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe does not work in my case. It simply tells that there has been communication error with the device, or if it starts it tells that this ROM upgrade utility was not designed for this device. I tried the other way with BaUpgrade.exe, with usage of EditFix.bat and xda3nbftool.exe, but it seems that I'm doing something wrong - each time I get the message that the specific ROM was not written for me and that I should check my vendor. Is there any way to get out of this, since now it seems that I can't do no upgrade or downgrade at all?
Thanks a lot in advance, I know this is mostly due to my mistakes and usage of unchecked ROMs.
Thank to everyone who was trying to help me. I did some experimenting in order to solve the upgrade issue, and I solved the problem. This is how I did it: Namely, I downloaded KitchenAKU3.5v2-xplode, which also contains useful readme. Basically if you want to have MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to work for you at all, you have to put the device in Bootloader mode (press power + record simultaneously). After that, the upgrade went smoothly, after I designed my own rom, which was very easy with xplode's tutorial.
One more thing I did was that after the upgrade, I did a soft reset and "cleanup" of the device. after the soft reset I changed following options on the boot screen using camera and record buttons:
“Enable KITL” set to NO
“Clean Registry Hive” set to YES
“Format Storage” set to YES. (again on xplode's instructions)
After that, I confirmed settings with pressing of the mail button. One minute later, I had fully operational and very fast QTEK 9090 running WM5.
I hope that some things I did will be useful to other people trying to fix their blue angels. And of course, thanks to Xplode for making an excellent user-friendly upgrade.
So I've done the tweaks to get the phone to wake up on sms, enabled sounds for events and all, but still I get no sound or even vibrate alert when receiving a message.
Another post said that it was fixed in the latest ROM, but I have searched and found numerous different versions and dont want to go installing the wrong version or whatever (one version I downloaded was Asia?!)
I'm UK based.

Could someone help me out with if I need to update and which version (Found a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400411)?
Thanks.
+1
I have the exact same problem, i have tried all the tweaks I found online:
- enable smswakeup in registry
- ticking the box in sound and notifications for display message on screen/vibrate/sound alert and all combinations of those three
- making sure volume levels are up
- checking all the settings in advanced config
- disabling smsthreading (which seems to start this behaviour for some people) checking smsavailible is still active then re enabling smsthreading.
- with soft resetting after each
all to no avail and i am reluctant to perform a hard reset, scary.
I believe it set in after a spate of installations, including, advanced config, S2U2, gyrator2, a trial of pocket shield and resco explorer.
Most people seem to have their problem solved by one of the above solutions, so if your reading this and are in the same boat I suggest searching the forum for them to try first, if the problem is not resolved then welcome to the club, post your situation and hopefully we can figure this one out.
Got the same problem.
I also checked settings (in both windows and in Advanced Config). Not using S2U2 or pocketshield.
If any of you did a hard reset and it helped, please post. (dun want to backup, reset and find out it has not been fixed...)
My ROM:
Version: 1.93.479.3 WWE
Date: 07/25/08
Radio: 1.00.25.05
Protocol: 52.29.25.12H
Small update.
I think I have found a fix, at least to set message sound to one of default ringtones.
1. Open TF3D Settings tab
2. Choose Sounds
3. Toggle last option two times (so it goes back to your current passing another)
4. Click More (right softkey)
5. Go to the second tab
6. Choose New SMS sound
7. Select some inbuild ringtone
8. Click OK
9. Repeat steps 4-8 skipping step 7
10. Test it.
Some of these steps may be unnecescary, there may be a better way to to this. Unluckily I don't have money for so much text messages to find a better way.
Tried this tonight, no luck.
Im thinking if a solution doesn't come along it'll be a rom update, then slow installation of the software I currently have to find the culprit (if any).
ROM: 1.93.405.1 WWE
Radio: 1.00.25.05
Cheers for the effort
Hi Guys,
thanks for the good job you'all are doing. Will appreciate whatever help i can get to resolve this issue with my phone. I have the HTC TYTN II which i recently upgraded to WM 6.1 using the official ROM which i donwloaded from HTC website. Since then i have noticed that sometimes it seems my phone is dialing itself or a call is coming in. The funny part is though every other function is working i wont be able to answer this phone. It will seem to hang. Then after a while i will get the cprog.exe error. To be able to make phone calls i have to soft reset the phone. i have had to hard reset my phone twice already with no solution. Also googling has not been able to provide any answer too. I just sent an email to HTC Technical support now but with experience i doubt if i will get any useful response. So this is my last resort.
It is also pertinent to note here too that intermittently i do get the tmail.exe errors.
Hi,
I am having the same problem after the upgrade..frequently its becoming stoned! requiring restart many time during the day...which was not the case before...anybody has got any solution???
I love my TyTn II but not the 6.1 ..its not stable!

Azuka, who so ever upgraded to 6.1 from HTC experienced the same problem even i myself suffered the same. So your only solution is to downgrade to 6 but before doing that you must HardSPL your phone ...
Two words... bad flash.
Regardless of what you might hear about WM 6.1 being unstable/unusable, it's simple NOT TRUE. Head over to the Kaiser Wiki, read up on flashing HardSPL (really read), and then once you have HardSPL'd your phone, flash a different ROM.
But please do not make the mistake of asking for recommendations on which ROM to use. The ROM that works best for me probably will not work best for you, in terms of programs loaded and cosmetically.

Thanks for your reply. Your two words "Bad Flash" got me thinking. How could that be. I thought so too and had to re-download the file from htc website and re-installed.
About HardSPL'd your phone, from reading the wiki i now know what it is. But there is no instruction out there to HardSPL'd. Do i need to get the file and copy unto my phone or what?
thanks.
Head over to the Wiki, and under ROM Upgrading - Tools, I added an entry to HardSPL v3.xx. All the instructions needed are in that thread.

Thanks for your help for far. This is an update of where i am today and a few questions i need your help to answer:
I took my phone into the retialer where i bought and who serve as the service center for HTC here in Doha, Qatar. They re-installed the WM 6.1 OS and so far i dont have the issues i was having before. However i do experience momentary screen freezes which eases off after a few second. Right the device information is as follows:
ROM Version: 3.28.405.0 WWE
ROM date: 05/02/08
Radio Version: 1.65.17.56
Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H
Going into the bootloader the i see the following information:
KAIS130
SPL-3.28.0000
CPLD-8
Which i believe confirms that the HardSPL is 3.28 - please correct me if i am wrong. Now my questions are as follows:
1. How do i resolve the momentary freezing?
2. Do i still need to do a HardSPL giving that mine is showing 3.28?
3. And your answer to do above is Yes which version do i need to do? 3.28 or 3.29 or even 3.56
Thank you once again.

They re-installed the WM 6.1 OS and so far i dont have the issues i was having before. However i do experience momentary screen freezes which eases off after a few second. Right the device information is as follows:
ROM Version: 3.28.405.0 WWE
ROM date: 05/02/08
Radio Version: 1.65.17.56
Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H
Going into the bootloader the i see the following information:
KAIS130
SPL-3.28.0000
CPLD-8
Which i believe confirms that the HardSPL is 3.28 - please correct me if i am wrong. Now my questions are as follows:
1. How do i resolve the momentary freezing?
2. Do i still need to do a HardSPL giving that mine is showing 3.28?
3. And your answer to do above is Yes which version do i need to do? 3.28 or 3.29 or even 3.56
Thank you once again.

I have the freezing issues too. Two things has helped me reduce the frequency (and improve general responsiveness of the device):
1. I've disabled the HTC task manager application - that helps a lot on responsiveness
2. Each time I soft reset the phone, I manually kill the mstli.exe process - that helps a lot on the freezing issues.

Spip
Just to share some experiences
So I have the TyTN II and I recently upgraded to the official HTC WM6.1.
I have none of these problems of screen freezing, unstable rom, etc etc etc...
However, I do suffer from occasional program error message and asks me quite a few times to send the report to microsoft.
But this only happens when I load certain third party softwares and then close them down.
I attribute this to compatibility issues with WM6.1...maybe I'm wrong. But that's what I think anyway.

You do not have HardSPL on your phone. You have SPL 3.28, which was flashed to your phone as part of the WM 6.1 upgrade. If you want to try out custom ROMs, you will still need to flash HardSPL 3.xx.
I recommend flashing HardSPL 3.56. It was ripped from an AT&T build, but seems to work great with all flavors of WM 6.1.
As for the freezing, it cannot be eliminated 100%. But with a good cooked ROM and the right HardSPL, you will rarely experience one.
I had this issue and it was just down to previous HardSPL being left at an early version (I think around 1.02) on the device and if you apply this latest HTC stock ROM update you get a bad flash and freezing especially in the threaded SMS app.
Install any HardSPL later than 3.00 then redo the ROM update and it should cure it.
Thanks guys. I just did the HardSPL 3.56 and re-installed the HTC official 6.1 ROM. So let's see how it goes.
Btw, HardSPL-ing is not as difficult as it seems though.
Right now the following is my configuration:
KAIS130
SPL-3.56.Hard
CPLD-8
Device Information is as follows:

Thanks all.

Just a quick update. After HardSPL-ing my phone it worked well for sometime then the tmail.exe error surfaced. I have only had the cprog.exe error - where a call comes in and i can not answer neither can i make another call until i soft reboot - has only happened once or twice. Apart from these the phone has been working well.
Anyway i just got a reply from my earlier mail to HTC and thought i should post if here for people's information. Apparently they are aware of these issues and working on them. Read for yourselves:

Just an observation here:
After reading somewhere on these pages that the erratic behavior of TYTN II could be due to bluetooth adapter i decided to go some days without my Motorola S9 bluetooth ear piece i am yet to experience any of the issues i had before. Could the bluetooth software for WM 6.1 be the issue?

Did you ever resolve your momentary freezing issues? I have a new TYTN II that I upgraded to WM 6.1. I used hardspl 1.0 to do that but after reading numerous posts, I loaded HArdspl 3.28. After installing hardSPL 3.28, the 5 second freezes are less frequent but happen everyday.
I am not sure where to go from here? load another HSPL? Reload '3.28.405.0 (Radio 1.65.16.25) original HTC WWE (World Wide English) ' ROM?
As you know these pauses are very annoying.

I am looking for a solution. Not using Blue tooth to use a device that costs over 600.00 just doesn't make sense to me.
Is there a ROM hardSPL combination that will give me freeze-free performance or is this an HTC problem that is not solvable. I just can't believe that every Kaiser user that has upgraded to wm 6.1 has the same issue that I have with momentary freezes that last up to 5 seconds.
Is the solution another ROM, another Hspl, another phone? Who can help me resolve this issue? Is there a better place to post this?
Thank you
Freezes and locks.
Prior to my upgrading my AT&T Tilt to WM6.1 which I did today. I was experiancing LONG freezes, listening to music or just waiting for menus. I could not determine any specific software that was the cause. I tend to install a lot. Did a hard reset, didn't install the AT&T bloat, reinstalled my primary apps MS Voice Command 1.6 (a Must). Still same issues... Occationally could NOT answer calls. Hit the green button, or the answer option on screen. the onscreen 'answer' would flash, but I could not use the phone until a soft reset. LONG process when you are waiting for a call back.
AT&T sent me a new phone which I got and installed the NEW wm 6.1 before anything. Worked pretty well, but I had not made any calls or recieved any all day. I did listen to several hours of music on my Motorola S9 headset and made sure Audible Player would work. Two apps I use daily.
All seems well, except NOW I get the cprog.exe error. I decided to test my phone with a simple incoming call. Before I ended it, it went dead. Not sure what the HardSPL is yet. Will look into that. Just thought I'd let others know that the lag, AT&T seemed to think was a hardware issue so they replaced my Tilt.
Software installed; MS Voice Command 1.6, Live Search, Audible Player, TCPMP, FlashBundle, GPSToday. Pretty much it besides the AT&T bloat that came with the ROM. Good luck
