hi,
i looked around for instructions on how to upgrade the ROM but i couldn't find any.
i have a very old ROM and i want to upgrade it to the latest ROM that includes the A2DP, etc.
how do i go about installing it? is it like installing a regular application? i have a Qtek 9100.
thanks,
Re: Simple guide - Unlock Vario and update to other ROMs
For anyone else who has had the same problem as we did, follow these simple instructions:
First download lokiwiz v2b. Don't use previous versions or you'll not get through this!!
Hard reset your device (not necessary, but it ensures you'll have no hassle with Activesync).
Done that? Good. Extract the lokiwiz v2b .zip folder and copy enablerapi.cab to your memory card or to 'My Documents' folder on your device. Then execute the 'enablerapi.cab'.
Done? Just switch off the device (power button; put it in standby mode).
If you have Activesync already installed, un-install it and re-install directly afterwards (ensure a brand new partnership).
Then when prompted by Activesync, plug in your USB cable PC-PPC and it should recognise as usual.
Then execute the lokiwiz.bat file (in the folder that was generated earlier when you extracted the lokiwiz02b.zip file) and when you see the MS Dos (black screen) choose the option CID Unlock (SuperCID) and wait for it to COMPLETELY finish. You'll know it's finished when your Wizard is re-booting. Plug out your USB cable at this stage.
Once re-booted and back into WM5, re-connect your cable and if all goes well it should re-connect to Active Sync (wait till it has finished syncing or says connected!).
Finally......double click the executable file, which should be:
RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Hopefully it will now install the ROM without hiccups (about 10 minutes).
Sorry to you gurus for the lengthy explanation, but some of us are still relatively inexperienced to this and a thorough (if you can call it that) explanation of the processes will really be appreciated. I certainly have done when some of guys broke it down to me in the past.
I'm hoping this ROM will not dissapoint me as the others have done, as I've been getting quite frustrated and angry about the whole WM5 & HTC thing.
Good luck. :wink:

thanks for finding the informaiton for me!
Thanks for the breakdown. I am new to all this, and not too au fait with all the developer terms, and it can be quite intimidating!
I have an O2 branded XDA Mini S and want to use it with Vodafone SIM card. The device is unlocked, so I can make and receive calls - good start!
However, I want to get rid of all the O2 branding and install the vodafone GPRS/SMS/MMS etc. settings. From what I've read on the forums, the O2 stuff slows the unit down, and it will all be irrelevant anyway. Does the extended ROM you refer to above then get the unit into an "unbranded" state?
Basically, I just want the unit without any trace of O2 (boot splach screen, O2 active etc.) and to be able to put the Vodafone settings in manually...
Thanks
Thanks mackaby007 - managed to update rom using your instructions, and got rid of O2 screen using aWizard!
Unlock to Lock

No, you need to do CID unlock only once.

I have the exact same problem. Both Loki and aWizard don't work.
Typically when you want to downgrade your phone to an earlier (or shipped version) you need to first downgrade it to Button's 1.05, then you can "upgrade" to back to the desired 1.x or 2.x ROM.
Is that what you're asking?

how is possible to downgrade the wizard phone to 1.05?
I have a T-mob wizard phone with inside IPL 2.21.0001,GSM 2.19.11, OS 2.21.2.6.
Have I to follow the below step?
1)dovngrade to 1.05 . Is necessary only OS or boot loader and ratio too?
2)perform again the flashing procedure.

looks to me that you have a "G4" chipset, I can tell because you are reporting the IPL 2.21.0001 and not just IPL 2.21 Maybe someone else can verify this???? If so please please DONT try to flash before you have researched "G4" chipset flashing first
Dear sir,
you true!!
I have just read a post were is explained that if you have G4 chip is not possible to downgrade or upgrade the ROM.
Bootloaders (IPL/SPL) with .0001 at the end of the version are G4 flash chips.
This info will be very halpefully for everybody need to perform any flashing action on wizard phone.
Do you confirm that is actually not possible to solve this issue?

Alex

I am very confused...
OK.
My wizard have G4 chip inside.
I was been able to remove the SIM lock.
If I try to CID unlock the device I receive CID unlocked successfull but after a ROM update the device stuck at startup.
Now...if I pay on http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ 20£ will be possible to change the ROM?
JAFWM
Hi,
I discovered a SW named JAFWM that is able to flsh evry ROM.
Is this true?
@squarna - Sorry mate but TBH with myself not having a G4 chipset Ive not taken much notice of any post relating to them, if no one else jumps in soon try starting a new thread with the title like "G4 chipset What roms work?" or something and good luck!
I am trying to install the PDAMobiz Wizard Crossbow_AKU 3 for G3, I have ungraded from cingular 8125 OEM 2.25 to RUU Molski Biz 226102_22610105_022511_WWE. So my question is on the splash screen (boot up) the info are as follows:
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 2.47.11
OS: 1.5.4.2
WHY is that?
In device Info:
ROM Ver 1.5.4.2 WWE
Rom date: 11/08/05
Radio version: 02.47.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.24
Ext Rom Version: 2.26.10.2 Molski.Biz.
I can't upgrade to the pdamobiz 3.0 rom? I know it is cid unlock I make sure to run the enable rapi every time i did the upgrade reboot then do the upgrade. I don't know why I can't do it. I did the upgrade fine to pdamobiz 3.0rom for my friends mda. 2 of them to be exact. Help Please. I'm going crazy. Thanks
ok now just flash your phone with an original HTC rom. go get it from there website. now flash that, once you do that....IT WILL NOT lock your phone up. so you dont have to worry about that. and once you flash it with the original rom then you can just flash it to any wizard rom your little heart will be content with. and i learned all this from reading and searching here on XDA.
I purchased this orbit from ebay.
Here is the information of my ppc:
IPL 3.04.0001
ROM version: black&blue v4.2 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/2007
Radio version: 02.98.90
protocol version: 4.1.13.47
My questions are:
1. Is the phone CID unlocked? So I can install any version?
2. If I want to upgrade this version, where and how to do it?
3. Lots of people say that I have to downgrade my IPL to 1.1, otherwise I can not perform the previous two actions.
I just get confused. The seller said that he has flashed the phone. If the CID is locked, how could he do that. But the IPL version is higher. How can he flash the phone without downgrade IPL?
I am very new to ppc. The current rom seems a little bit slow. Any other recommended?
Any help is appreciated.

the ORBIT isn´t a WIZARD, right?
so you´re in the wrong forum.
to flash a rom there are several ways, you don´t have to unlock the cid.
hard spl, soft spl, don´t know what works on the ORBIT (is the ORBIT the HTC ARTEMIS? sorry don´t know)
steph
USPL
For Artemis it's called USPL.
When you're booting your phone there should be SPL 1.11, then it's CID unlocked.
If you're unsure, just run USPL again and everything is fine
Ok this I know is going to be a dumb question, but here it goes. First a little information. I am not new to computers and have updated my Tilt before. I am wanting up flash my phone to a newer radio, then maybe Duttys new WM6.1 Hybrid. I have installed "XDA-Developers HTC Kaiser HardSPL CID Unlocker v1.0"
Installed no issues. This is where I get stuck, I have looked for the WIKI pages, but to no joy. Please can someone give me a step-by-step Wiki or some information so I don't brick my tilt. I have completed a back-up. Thanks for all the help.
Below is my phone information:

Well
it seems you have a device g4 on hard or soft spl?
check the IPL and SPL info And repost it please if it is Soft spl you spl must shows X.XX.0001
but... if your device is hardSPL your spl info shows you X.XX.Olip
Please confirm this and... be sure to read the upgrade method for G4 devices
