Hey guys.
i just wanner say first im a noob at phones so dont flame me.
Right, i got a brand new t-mobile compact 2 (htc charmer) with t-mobile rom on it. i really wanner upgrade to Windows mobile 6 so badly but i cannot flash my rom cus it aint unlocked.
So i tried doing it myself with the unlocker this website suggests, but that always fails .
What i think happend is this mda has been updated to the latest t-mobile rom. Which is:3.8.2.21 WWE and the unlocker is only for the old versions.
I actually dont know im right at all. but if anyone can get back to me either by pm, email or If you know your stuff please dont hesitate to add me on msn, and talk me though it. trust me its alot easier to do that then wait for thousens of emails.
Anyway any help will be amazing. remeber im a noob so please dont flame me, i just want to be able to experince the mobile 6 that all you guys are.
Email/MSN: [email protected]
Thankyou so much everyone. I hope you can solve this problem.

You don't have to unlock your phone to flash WM6. Considering you've already flashed the latest t-mob rom, just go to TouchFLO ver. 2.1 thread in Charmer Mobile 6, download the rom, read the instructions and flash. It will work.
Good luck.
Okiess gonner try it now. hopefully it will, will get back to you soon.
Ill describe the entire process.
Nope still not working, wont flash.
I run the flasher bat file the screen stays completely still nothing happens and i donno why. is it cus its not cid unlocked. i know you said it dont, but one of the guys said it did.
Get back to me soon

Hi to every1, im new to the forum, to the MDA/Wizard/G3 World and Windows Mobile Pocket Pc Phones.
Ok i just got this Used (Second-hand) T-mobile MDA A.K.A. Wizard and i callled t-mobile US to find out what is the mazimun memory the this phones supports since i couldnt find any info in their site, they didnt have the info either. So if anyone knows about this phone, i would be more than pleased, also let me give you some info about my phone:
T-Mobile MDA (Wizard)
Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Build 14955.2.3.0
Processor: OMAP850-195MHZ
IPL: 2.26
SPL: 2.26
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.26.10.2
This is my e-mail Just in case any1 wants to contact me as to give me any info that cannot be given here, or guide me pointers, guides, tutorials, etc which all will be very much appreciated.
So Far i think i have a G3 Device, right?
I know that t-mobile told me that this device cannot be upgraded by them any more than WinMo5.0 because they just decided to make a new phone, but i have been reading in this forum and i found that this specific device can be upgraded to 6.1 or something like that, also with something that is called Flowcover, or coverflow from HTC is pretty hot, but the thing is that this is my 1st device this kind and i doint have insurance on itsince i got it prepaid for now, also i dont want to mess up my phone or brick it. im very good at following tutorials and step-by-step as long as they are clear and comprehensive.
My point is there too much info and too many threads about the same please can any1 tell me which 1 to follow, and which tuto is the best, and i will foloow it to the letter.
Please PM me or send me an email to let me know what u guys think and if i said something that i shouldnt mention here in the forum please admin feel free to modify my thread, and im sorry if i did in advanced!
Thanks a lot to any1 who can help, please understand me...
I will greatly appreciate all your help and efforts.
Thanks again
Peace out!!!
Heres all you'll need
Since i was in the same boat as you were about 4 days ago, i'll help you out .
After I spent days asking people questions on a thread I finally found this website's wiki page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
It helped me greatly, it has ALL the information and steps that you'd need to flash your phone to Button 1.05, then CID unlock it, then flash to a IPL/SPL of 3.08. Then you'd be able to flash to windows mobile 6.1 or HTC coverflow, what ever you choose. Also, if you have a Vista pc it gives a step by step tutorial to how to make it so that you could do this on vista.(Also, WST[Wizard Service Tool] didnt seem to work on my Vista)
And yes, you have a G3
Hopefully that page will answer all your questions and this gives all the info you need.

Thanks in advanced, but i forgot to tell you my PC Is: Windows XP Pro SP3
NOT VISTA, thank god!
Do i need anything special since i have XP or is XP better for this procedures?
thanks
c-ya
Oh, Also Do i need to backup anything from my phone to the PC before i do any modification? like for safety purposes? i.e. like to revert it back to original state?
Also after i do this can i use it as if it came with Windows Mobile 6? and do i tell this to T-mobile? or can i use it with other service providers?
what type of applications must i get after this, WM6 or WM5 apps? and where do i get them cause ie been looking for games and IR Apps like remote control and cant find any?
sorry but i just have too many questions in my head, also do you mind sending me a PM or email with your choice of WM6 and which is more stable and complatible with Coverflow?
thanks and sorry again!!!
Yeah, there were alot of questions in my head when i did this too.
You don't need anything special for XP to do this. Just follow the instructions on the page I gave you and download the tools you need to flash your phone.
Also, when your doing this it hard-resets your device so any programs, contacts, stuff like that should backup all that stuff on your pc using activesync and just take note of the programs you have so you could put them back on afterwards, but the programs that came with your phone usually come with the rom you are putting on, so those you shouldnt need to worry about.
To revert it back to the state when you got it jsut put an official windows mobile rom.
Also, doing this voids your warranty with T-Mobile for the phone. And when you use Wizard Service Tool(WST) when you CID unlock your phone, you can also SIM unlock it which would allow you to use it with any carrier.
You can get any apps that are compatible with WM, i'm not sure where good places to get apps are yet, i'm still looking too.
I can't really help you with the choice of WM6 and which would be more stable with Coverflow because i dont use Coverflow, but right now i'm running Windows Mobile 6.1 With Manila 2D using Touchflow.(Shown in my sig) That can be found in the Windows Mobile 6 category of the Wizard forums with a lot of other great roms.
Hope this helped .
hello: iam trying to unlock my phone so i can update the sotware to windows mobile 6 can anybody help me with this ?
Ok. Several things: 1) If you have the default T-mobile ROM on your Wing, you already have Windows Mobile 6.1. 2) If you post the same question in multiple subforums, you are very likely to be ignored. 3) If you only wish to CID unlock the phone, then all you have to do is flash any other ROM found on this forum. Be sure to search in there for "How to Flash" before opening another thread asking for help. Thanks!
what do u mean default T-mobile Rom?
please excuse me iam new at this. and iam pretty sure that i do not have mobile 6.1 on my wing... could you help me in this matter? 1. i need to unlock the phone so i can put windows mobile 6.1 on the phone ... i would appreacte verey much paul....

Alright. If you bought this phone directly from T-mobile US, then you do already have Windows Mobile 6.1. Also, to check for sure which version you have, you can go to Start->Settings->System->About. It will display what version of Windows Mobile you have.
I suggest you start with the wiki. Since you keep asking to 'unlock' your phone to be able to flash a new ROM i'm going to guess that you don't know what your doing. Make sure to read up on what is required to flash a new ROM. If you need any more assistance please make sure to ask the correct question in the correct forum and I'm sure everyone will be willing to help. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Herald
@elazullizard, unless something has changed, the Wing DOES NOT come stock with 6.1, it comes with 6. Now like I say, that may have changed, but I just bought a brand new in the box Wing manufactured in November 2008, and it booted into stock plain jane T-mobile 6. So yeah, this guy does indeed need to CID unlock and upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5.
thank you. and its hera 110 rom ver. 4.26.531 wwe and i do have windows 6 professional but i would like to cid my phone so it can take a new rom? and you help in this mater?
Yes, first of all soft-reset your device using the little hole on the left hand side of it, as soon as you press the little button in the hole, press and hold down the camera button until the 3 color bootloader screen is displayed...confirm that your IPL/SPL is above 4 and reply back to me with the exact number and we can get you started from there.
hello there ther a little problem I use the divce on and everday as my life line for work and i do not have a spare. and this forum takes forever for someone to get back to u ,
so if we can talk head up on yahoo or let me know when u are gona be on this site so we can do this together thank u paul
its rom ver 4.26.531/wwe
radio ver 03.21.90 and runing windows mobile 6 professional.......
Well my yahoo IM is listed in my profile information, and I still need to know your IPL/SPL in order to help you.
Dear friends,
I use T-Mobile Wing. 2007 manufacture.
Can u help me to upgrade it. It uses Windows Mobile v6.0. I wanted to change it to Window Mobile v6.1 or v6.5.
I use it with another sim card. Not T-Mobile. But it is working properly.
How can I do this?
IPL 4.10.0002
SPL 4.10.0000
Thanks a lot...
P.S. Can I use GPS from my mobile. I couldn't found it.
There are plenty of posts that teach you how to flash custom ROMs. If you don't know where to start try searching for "how to hard SPL." You can flash custom ROMs without having your phone hard spl'ed by using USPL. If you decide not to use hard spl there is a great change that you will brick your phone and will no longer be able to use it again. After all you have to do is search for a flashcenter or use mine http://mywing.info/dl/Flascenter.rar . As for you GPS question, there are plenty of gps programs out there. You just need to buy either an external bluetooth gps receiver or a USB gps receiver. pair it with your phone and your done.
I have a problem with my device and around the web I can not find much support for it.
Please help me. I have an HTC HD7 t-mobile and I want to update it to NoDo European version. How can I do?

What help do you want??
just install zune sofware on your pc, plug in your mobile phone ,ones your phone is detected. it will take you tru the update and installation.
thats how i got mine, london.
NoDo update
download and run and zune software on you pc, connect your hd7 phone to your pc once the system dictates your phone, it will take you tru the update and installation process. thats how i did mine in london t-mobile....
Guys, I think he has a US T-mobile HD7 and he wants the Euro ROM on it instead of the US one that the Zune might be detecting as soon as he plugs it in.
The only advice I can ask you to try is to first rollback to your previous restore point that Zune allows, and then use the process to debramd the device, via one of the threads in the stickies. Then download the Euro ROM of your choice and flash it via the bootloader mode.
The easiest way is, get a Euro device and sell this. LOL.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Head over to the HD7 Development section. Follow the instruction for unbranding your phone. Once you have the unbranded ROM flashed you can push through the unbranded NoDo ROM.
Beware though, M$ has put out some notices about "jailbroken" devices and their ability to update in the future. Not saying its going to affect anything, just always good to read before jumping in. The more you know...
thanks for the replies, my problem is that I don't also know how unbranding my phone. I only know that my CV is 531.
can you link me please?
