Upgrading K-JAM G2 to WM6 - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

i have the K-JAM G2 version with SPL/IPL 2.16 OS 2.16.9.1 (if it makes any difference).
i want to upgrade to WM6. i was wondering if i at all should. it has a 200mhz processor..
also i was wondering if WM6 can at all be installed on this device since most the roms i stumbled into were for G3/G4 phones.
also, if i try to install WM6 and it doesn't work and i can't load my phone again, how will i be able to flash it back to WM5?
thank you

Wizard IPL/SPL

Hi,
i am very new to all this stuff on wizard upgrading and have tried to do alot of reading....
The was something on G3 and G4 that determines the which one i have from the IPL/SPL...
MDA Vario - T-Mobile UK
IPL - 1.06
SPL - 1.06
GSM - 1.12.10
OS - 1.6.2.4
these are the details of my phone...
can someone tell me what upgrades i can use for this fone?
thank you VERY much.
Bhups
Looks like you can use basically anything. Just CID unlock using the LokiWiz or aWizard utilities on the FTP and make sure to keep your IPL/SPL somewhat near your other versions. I'd reccomend, CID unlocking and upgrading to the latest version of a "stock" ROM like the T-Mobile 2.26 here http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/software_detail.cfm?id=80 and then play around with other ROMs. At least then you have a backup ROM to go back to.
thanks mate... appreciate it..
just gonna try it now.

Upgrading IPL SPL to 3.08 i O2 MINI S from 1.05

Hi,
I have a O2 Mini S with black diamond 3.1 installed i would like to upgrade my IPL SPL from 1.05 to 3.08, I am asking this as some time back i had upgraded my radio rom to 2.71.xxx & had to reinstall the OS again after doing so..
any helps appreciated.
Thanks in advance
for me, the following worked:
- downgraded to WM5 AKU2 according to the description shown in all WM6 release threads
- updated the thing with the latest T-Mobile update
- re-flashed the OS partition (via pdocwrite.exe, you can use "shelltool" or whatever other names they gave for their wrappers). but the typho5/nb2nbf couple just does as well. only remember to leave out the unnecessary ipl/spl and not to flash the G4 one by accident. or leave out those entirely, it wont harm since you should already have a 3.08 SPL (and probably IPL) at that point.

Downgrade or change ROM, how?

I have dopod 838 which i already upgraded to WM6 (for the first time, since I use PDA ) I'm following the upgrade tutorial from the wiki and I use the WM 6.0 ROM made by mfrazzz.
my question is how to downgrade to WM5 (original from dopod asia)? I already download the ROM but I'm not sure whether i need to downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx like when I'm upgrading it to WM6?
I see another new ROM is released, and i want to switch to that ROM, must I re do all the steps I done when upgrading from WM5 to WM6?
note the IPL/SPL is 3.xx on my dopod 838.
please help. thanks
Please see mestrini's response

Never go from 3.xx to 1.xx as the SPL might get locked. Stop at 2.xx before downgrading further.
WM5 can work with 1.xx and 2.xx but WM6 only with 2.xx and 3.xx
oh no.. I did re-flash it back to 1.xx per instruction on the wiki. I then upgrade the ROM to T-Mobile ROM which is 2.xx, after that upgrade again to 3.08 then upgrade to WM6.1
the upgrade is success, do I need to check for something? as you said that the SPL might locked?
so.. in case i want to change/downgrade ROM i just need to re-flash to T-Mobile ROM which is 2.xx?
thank you for your answers

Sometimes,if you directly downgrade from 3.08 to 1.xx,SPL gets locked and it's very difficult to bring it to 1.xx,so its advised,if your phone is already CID unlocked and upgraded to 3.08,don't downgrade to 1.xx again,but if you want to reflash a new rom and want a solid base like T-mobile,then just downgrade to 2.xx,avoid going down to 1.xx.
Cheers!
OK, thanks for the answers

Noob Question

Ok I need help. I just picked up a second-hand wizard from someone who claims to have done all the unlocking and has flashed it to WM6 Professional. On the bootup screen it shows:
IPL 2.16
SPL 2.16
GSM 02.19.11
OS 11.0.0.1
What I want to know is how I can install the TouchFlo w/ cube Rom as I find that more intuitive than what I am currently using. What would I need to download, upgrade/downgrade to get this running from start to finish.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Which is the present Rom installed on it ? Which wm6 is it ?
this is what it reads in the about
CE OS 5.2.1933 (build 18533.0.7.0)TNT
from the threads im reading, some say i need to flash to an official rom, then downgrade to 1.x then upgrade to 2.26 and then flash to whatever rom i want. is that right?

As you are already running wm6 TNT series Rom,it means your phone is already SIM/CID unlocked,there's no need to downgrade to 1.xx to unlock and then upgrade to 2.xx and flash any wm6 rom.
Yes ! its highly recommended,if you want to change to any other Rom,first flash the T-mobile 2.26 to provide you a good base,but its not necessary,you can download any wm6 or wm6.1 rom and just connect the phone with pc via usb cable and flash the rom.
You can try the latest wm6.1 TNT.19199 series v.2 Rom,it has TouchFlo version also from this link :-

Unable to load ROM on a G4 with SPL/IPL 3.08.001

Hello Forum
Hoping people can assit me with a issue i am having with upgrading my G4 Wizard to WM6
My G4 was on a T-Mobile ROM, which i then upgraded to the latest T-Mobile ROM which changed my IPL/SPL to 3.08 when before it was on a 2.XX.
I tried to upload a WM6 ROM when the flush just stalls on the boatloader and onscreen its shows that the ROM images is not compatiable etc...
i then flushed the ROM to a WM5 custom ROM which i found on the formum but searching for 3.08 ROM and tested and worked.
I then tried a WM6 ROM and still having issues, hoping someon can shed some light on this issue i have. I have checked the forums for this issue, but seem to be hitting a brick wall, and hoping someone may be help me kick the wall down.
PS this is my first thread, as i am a newbie,I have read about the different ROMs and how to flush a ROM, and how to check if the wizard is CID/SIM unlocked
Unlocked CID and SIM
IPL:> 3.08.001
SPL:> 3.08.001
GSM:> 02.69.11
OS:> 2.26.10.2
much appricated...
First, check again if your IPL/SPL version ends with 001 not 0001. If it is .001, then it is a G3, not G4.
If it is a G3, flash Button's ROM and use Wizard Service Tool to CID unlock it.
Or if it is a G4, flash with your original stock ROM and install HardSPL.
