I currently have the Wizard in O2 Xda Mini S form. With reference to the excellent Wiki it appears to be a G3 as the Ipl and Spl both show as 2.26.
Reading the Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies I was just wondering if I could use the O2 Launch Rom V154 instead of the button Rom to downgrade my device for unlocking? I have read about quite a few users in the forum experiencing errors with the button Rom. Also do both the Ipl and Spl have to be at 1.xx before you can unlock the device?
Thanks

Yes! as it is required to have ipl/spl 1.xx to use lokiwiz 02b to SIM/CID unlock the phone.You can try and there's no harm, the official 1.xx Rom to SIM/CID unlock,if it works... viola!
Otherwise, go for Button's Rom.
Cheers !

I'm a newbie here. Please provide me the link or suitable Flash Rom for G3 Wizard O2 Mini S. My SPL/IPL is 1.03. I search for 1 day still cannot find it, thanks!
You wont find the ROMS itself anymore. Thanks to M$.
You can find a lot about good ROMs and customisations.
You should CID and SIM unlock your device, use the Wizard Service Tool for that
Then choose (WWE= English) and find the ROM you want (I use a modified official AKU 3.3, originally from T-Mobile Croatia)
Then Flash your device.
I just succesful install WM5 English version, and with IPL and SPL 3.08. I try with install many kind of WM6 but nothing happen, still remain WM5. What should I do?
My O2 mini S info:
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2

It is likely that you did not CID unlock the device. Just look at the second post and the stickies in this forum.

I have read the guides to unlocking and from what I see there are none that work on 3.xx SPL/IPL. I was able to downgrade the IPL but never the SPL.
I have seen several threads that say if you flash button rom (several times) it will eventually downgrade the SPL also, but all night as I worked I flashed the button ROM (about 12-15 times) and still can't downgrade the SPL from the 3.08, only IPL goes to 1.01
Tried the original Cingular ROM and it isn't accepted (I think because I have a higher SPL than the original 2.26), tried using the ShellTool, Tried SoftSPL too but none worked.
IS THERE A WAY TO DOWNGRADE THE 3.08 SPL SO THAT I CAN USE THE LOKIWIZ02 OR LOKIWIZ03. I saw a thred saying that 3.08 can't be downloaded but I also saw SEVERAL saying to just keep insisting with the Button rom that it will eventually work (but after almost 15 consecutive tries I've had it).
Any help would be GREAT.
thanks

IPL 1.01
SPL 3.08
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
Button ROM doesn't work for that. I tried numerous times too. The only ROMs that work to downgrade to anything else from 3.08 are the OEM releases from either T-Mo or AT&T.
The Cingular ROM isn't accepted because it checks the OS version number. I had to try several peoples' ROMs until I found one with a low enough version number to where the Cingular ROm could flash on top of it.
Try to flash T-Mobile 2.26 to bring it down to ipl/spl 2,26 then go for button's 1.05,hope it'll do the trick.
Good luck
p.s. you can try the wizard_love_Rom also,lol
I want to downgrade my phone, too. but the original T-Mobile AKU2.0 say while reading the phones ROM-Version "only update"... so, with this no downgrade is possible.
How can i CID unlock with AKU3? I want to flash a new ROM from xda-developer as well... damn
Regards
Thomas
You could probably extract the nk.nbf and use the standard tools to flash it.
The nk.nbf can usually be found in a .tmp folder in c:\documents and settings\yourname\Local Settings\Temp
Thanx for your Hint... but which "Standard-Tool" should i use?
Sorry for this silly question, but i am new in experience with my vario

Unless you are using official kjam update, otherwise please CID unlock your G3 device first, or you will face problems.
thank u for advice, but how to CID unlock first before upgrade the rom, any tool for apply to unlock?? plz help
regards
farry
i am trying to upgrade my wizard. i followed the instruction in the wiki section. i am at the step of cid unlock my phone. however, after i did the cid-unlock the IPL stays on 1.01 instead of 1.05 which is described by the tutorial.
what did i do wrong? btw i have a g3
No, you didn't do anything wrong
The ROM is Button's 1.05 ROM, which provide IPL and SPL 1.01.
Just unlock, upgrade IPL/SPL, then flash a WM6 ROM.
thanks, got the lastest TNT rom to run
I'm sorry if this a repost or not, but i'm currently following the Upgrade procedure for windows mobile 6, and it required me to downgrade to the button rom. Everything went smooth, but i wonder. The guy in the tourital says that my IPL and SPL is one on 1.xx and another on 2.xx, as mine is both at 1.xx. i have the T-mobile MDA version, and I'm following the G3 tourital. Currently now it's just sitting there, should i continue without worry or do i need to do it over again to get one at 1.xx/2.xx. Thanks for the support
Harlan.
No - if both your ipl/spl is at 1.xx - then you are good to go, continue on to the next step.
It appears that some users (such as myself ) have to run the buttom rom twice to get both ipl/spl to be the same.
My first pass with the button rom gave me ipl of 1.xx -and spl of 2.xx
Ran the button rom a second time - and all was good
Good luck
Remember to CID unlock, then Upgrade IPL/SPL before upgrading to WM6.
Read the guide carefully,it says, the while downgrading with Button's Rom you might probably get ipl 1.xx and spl 2.xx,reflash the button's rom a few times more till you get both ipl/spl 1.xx.Its required to have both ipl/spl 1.xx to apply lokiwiz02b to SIM/CID unlock the phone,so as you already got ipl/spl 1.xx,you are lucky and good to go to run lokiwiz02b and unlock,remember only after unlocking the phone,upgrade to ipl/spl 2.xx by flashing T-mobile 2.26,ok
cheers !
Thanks
Thanks you Guys, it Successfully installed with breeze. Now that i upgraded the rom by installing the 2.26 before WM6, I'm getting 200% better reception, like it would take an hour or more Just to get reception ANYWHERE!!!!, I'm not kidding. Now that i finished up and installed the black diamond WM6, as soon i hit the today screen, I'm already connected to t-mobile. Thank you everybody for telling me that I'm safe on continuing the installer with both 1.xx ipl/spl, because now i have better reception, touch, unlocked, MDA. Thanks xda-developers for the great information.

hi, i am downgrading my wizard for days now. i followed the guided by dr puttingham. but my SPL won't downgrade. i used the button ROM & even the wizard_love ROM for several times now. my IPL is now 1.01 but my SPL is still 3.08. my wizard is a G3
anyone pls help
thank you for your Assistance
Flash 2 Times in a Row the button Rom 1.05 and you'll get both ipl and spl 1.05.
Anyway (Since It is understood you are in the process Cid unlocking) if your IPL is 1.05 try the LokiWiz.
I Cid Unlocked having IPL 1.05 Spl 2.25.
Aldo
I thought it was
Flash 1.05; CID/SIM unlock; Flash 1.05; CID/SIM unlock again.
It's been so long
thanks for your reply. but i did both the cid unlocking using lokiwiz and tried lashing the ROM twice and it still doesn't work
there must be something you missed in the directions.
Youa have to run the lockwiz aplication twice also. one for sim one for cid. usualy when I have that type of problem it is starring me in the face and i cant see it. I recomend stepping away from it for a bit.
downgrade and unlock ipl/spl 2.16
hi,
got a g3 wizard from imate - imate k-jam. have been reading up on the various posts on flashing g3 devices.
on one of the posts thru wiki:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
i saw this "With your device connected to your computer as Guest, run the file that your downloaded. It's pretty much self-explanatory. Agree to everything, and let it do it's thing. It is downgrading your IPL to 1.05. You can only unlock your phone if the IPL is 1.xx, you can't do it if your IPL is 2.xx."
my worry is that my ipl is 2.xx
can i proceed with this? is there anyone who has successfully been able to do those steps on a device with 2.xx ?
Please advice.
Try This
I was having the same problem using button 1.05.Try using this rom The Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe. Find it in the tutorial and download.Then follow the instructions.
