Ok I’m a total noob and ‘ve have already unlock my T-Mobile MDA so I can use it as a Cingular cell phone . about I know I got a G3 since my
IPL is 2.xx
Spl is 2.xx
Gsm 2.35.11
os 2.26.10.
Now my Question is what’s next? What’s that rom I’ve been reading about? howe do i know what version i have ? What is the os 2.26.10? What version should I be using? how do I REMOVE THE T-Mobile logo an stuff? I know it’s a lot of question but I figured that every one can jump in and give me some knowledge than you very much .for reading this.
ROM = firmware = Windows mobile
OS 2.26.10.2 = newest oficial firmware
Radio 2.35.11 - I think it does not exist
IPL/SPL = bootloader (it depend on the end of that number) if you have G4 (IPL/SPL ends 0001), than you can`t unlock and write unoficial (better then oficial) ROM
T-Mobile logo is easy to rewrite by any unoficial ROM or by your cooked splash screen
for simplicity...think of a ROM as the operating system and the extended ROM as the bundled software your computer comes with...
you can flash your phone with any wizard ROM you'd like...and as a noob you may not know that most ROM's are cooked without network customizations so you'll need (in your case cingular) the cingular customizations cab file (do a search)
like johnny said...most custom ROM's have all the tmobile/cingular/etc bull**** removed so you won't have to worry about it
the os 2.26.10.x is the version number of a ROM (newest official as of right now)
know this...you will void your warrenty when you unlock your phone further which you'll have to do...so first go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and then find a ROM you like...
THX a couple more questions
Ok 1st I need to say THX to both Johnny & j3d1n4s7y For your reply I got a couple more questions if my SPl is 2.26 so I need to down grade to bring it back to 1.xx right?
What is
Rom 2.26.10.2 WWE & Radio 02.47.11 what are their purpose?
thank you in advance
Be Careful...
-tiouko-
I notice that you want to upgrade/downgrade ROMs. Be aware that there are two types of devices, G3 & G4 and you should be aware of what type of phone it is. If when you boot your phone & the IPL & SPL read 2.xx then you have a G3 phone if it reads 2.xx.001 or something like that then you have a G4. Be aware that if you use the wrong type of ROM to flash you will brick your phone - read; read; read; before you start flashing your ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 by Doc P is a great read if you have a G3
Good Luck!!
And Btw, I believe ROM stands for "Read Only Memory" which is where you write the OS and then the applications only read from this place. It is pretty much similar to the ROM on your PC.

... and WWE = "World Wide English", the language of the ROM. FRE might be for French for example. The World Wide part means that the version is applicable accross all English Locales, as opposed to having localised English versions for Australia, the US, and the UK for example.
Yeah man thanks for the warnings I believe that my is a g3 because is 2.26 and my spl is 2.26 with out the extension. I'm currently doing my readings carefully before i do anythings major.
This is a wonderful thread.
I am a newbie and I am facing lots of problem with my ROM.
I am using Dopod838 and my phone warrenty is void.
I am thinking to upgrade the ROM since my original rom does not support A2DP.
Since my phone is unlock, whereby I can use any provider sim card and use it in my phone, do I still need to unlock my rom?
I got one las question i confirmed that my wizard is a g3 according to the ultimate guide I should downgrade if i want to run home brew rom which is what i wanr to do . I've already downloaded the button rom 1.o5 along with lockwiz o.2b my question is do I cid unlock first or do I downgrade with button 1.o5 than cidunlock second I could of swear I was suppose to cid unlock first.Please help.

5th Sticky has the information you need, its title is:
SOLUTION FOUND -CID/sim UNLOCKING FOR WIZARD WITH AKU2 ROMS.
Gives you a step by step process. Basically you can't CID unlock until you downgrade to the button rom. By your post it looks like you have the tools you need. This thread will give you the instructions on how to use them and when.
Thx Buddy exactly what I wanted to know I'm going to get started I'll let you know how I did.
Success
Success, success, success Thank you guys so much for your help I did not brick my expansive device .

Yes I m .. hehe! I hv lots to read.. I still got to read through all the sticky note so that I can load a new ROM to my dopod 838.
I'll probe u when I bump into problem.. hehe!
Some of the best ROMs are introduced (and downloadable) via this forum. So you can check out yourself what they include and if it fits your needs.
The latest ROMs are based on AKU 3.2/3.5, but they are still in development and can be a bit buggy.
Personally I am very satisfied using the Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom (based on AKU2.3).

Qood question I'm not sure being that I', noob but i would assume that it's not cid unlock since you have to go the extra mile to get it cid unlock . can you tell me if you are seeing network logo ie singular or t mobile on the screen is yes it's possible that' it's not cid unlock. but keek asking hopefully some one would have the right answer for you. good luck

If in doubt just CID unlock again. It doesn't hurt anything and that way you can be sure that you are unlocked.

The first step is determining if you have a G3 or G4. Soft reset your device and let us know what your IPL/SPL are.

Yes, it is a G4. Before you can do anything you will have to go to the pay website and pay for an unlock
After that you can flash it with any G4 Compatible rom. If the download for the rom does not specifically state that it is good for G4's or that it DOES NOT include IPL/SPL you should not attempt to flash it.
Flashing G3 IPL/SPL into a G4 will ruin your device.
Only use roms that do not include bootloaders.

That means you have to have an IPL / SPL that are both 2.xx or higher. Don't try to do this with either IPL or SPL at 1.xx
You will have to CID Unlock your device first. So read and follow this guide (and the posts it takes you too). Don't skip steps and check your work as you go and you'll be fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Key is, you have to downgrade, CID unlock, downgrade again (to get SPL to 1.xx) then upgrade to an official 2.xx ROM. Only after you do all of that can you then try flashing WM6 (or other custom roms).
Thanks Fraz! you confirmed what i was thinking...
I got a used i-mate K-Jam, the x-user was using it just as Phone(for making/recieving calls/sms). So all things(ROMs) are genuine which is
IPL 2.16
SPL 2.16
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.16.9.1
U have cleared my confusion, so now i can proceed with Faria's WM6 (CB-AIRAF.exe 62.1 file size)
I have made a backup using aWizard (by ahlok_hk).
I also Unlocked it using aWizard (it was locked or not?i dont know, but i went through the Unlock Process & saw the msg that ur device is Unlocked now)Plz tell me how to know which device is CID locked or unlocked.
All things are ripped now...so i can go ahead with Faria's WM6...what do u say...?

I've never CID Unlocked that way. I've always used the links I pointed you to in my previous post. As far as I know there is no way to know if you are CID Unlocked for sure until you flash a new ROM. If it appears to work, but only the splash screens change (and everything else is just like it was before) then you are not CID Unlocked.
you can give it a try, but personally I'd recommend you do the steps in my previous post as that method definetly works.
aaammmm
i have a wizard but till now i couldnt upgrade my phone using any of ROMs available here for WM 2006
my IPL & SPL are 2.16
i unlocked the CID with no problems
but when i start the upgrading it till me : u need newer NPF file
plzzz help me i really wanna upgrade 2006 looks soo beautifull
thanks in advance
First -- which WM6 ROM are you having trouble installing??
If you'll read the Wizard Mobile 6 forums, just about all the threads will advise you to flash the T-Mobile 2.26 for a strong 2.26 base before flashing to a WM6 ROM.
ok first things first
here is my device full information
ROM version 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date 2/6/06
radio version 02.07.1
protocol version 413.1.03
extROM version 2.16.9.102
model No WIZA200
microsoft windows mobile version 5 OS 5.1.195 build 14847.2.0.0
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.07.10
anything u want to know more just ask
------------------------------------------
for ur Q i have tried to flash faria the real thing & the new pandora
im not sure of what u mean by t-mobile but tell me how i can flash to a stronger base as u said & i'll try
thnx for the replies
From your last post, it looks like you already have a IPL/SPL of 2.26. Your initial post reported it to be 2.16. It also appears that you have a G3 chip, so there shouldn't be any problems in flashing any of the WM6 ROMs.
Try maybe a different ROM. I'm using the X-Plore 1.1 by anchillus and have been using it on my 8125 longer than any other one I've tried. In fact, my Wizard is starting to feel neglected. . .
From all the information you've given, you should be good to go with ANY ROM.
will what supposed to be inst happening
inst there anyone else that can suggest other things
also can anyone explain what is this NBF file & where can i get a newer one as the update tool is asking
thanx newbie2 for ur replies
i ask the other pro members to help me too
ok new update regarding my situation
i tried x-plore 1.1 as what newbie2 advised & it accepted the update
after its done there was no change it was still 2005
but i noticed that the when it started up the 2006 flash screen was there
i know that when this happened it mean that i didnt unlock the device but i would say that i did twice & in both of them the wizard started on its own
is there a signal that can make me be more sure that it was unlocked
still waiting for advise ppl
thnx for this forum again for every thing they do for us members

Yes I know the answer you're.... this is always the case when you're.... I'm certain you're.... CID-Locked.
You can only succesfully CID-unlock you're device from buttons 1.x rom! Lokiwiz can tell you it unlocked succesfully, but it didn't! Make sure you're not confusing CID from SIM-unlock. Follow this tutorial:
