I just performed the procedure on my vodafone VPA compact II and it's working. :) I have the button 1.05 rom running now. Still figuring out which ROM i will upgrade to.

Maybe you didn't delete the ActiveSync partnership with you phone.

The original ROM i started with was http://www.vodafone.de/business/support_download/95147_93771.html

Then downgraded to Button 1.05. After the first time IPL was OK (1.XX), SPL wasn't (2.XX), so i flashed Button's rom again. Second time both IPL and SPL were 1.XX.

Make sure that you wait long enough when you re flashing with the Button rom. The progress tends to freeze for +-3min @ 98%.

Good luck,

Keeth
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
Congrats! Make sure you first flash an official 2.x ROM (TMobile 2.26 is recommended) before flashing a custom ROM or you will have issues. You need to get back to 2.x before playing with the custom stuff (especially WM6 ROMs).

Have Fun!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] keethar:
Yeah hehe, thanks :) . Have the T-mobile rom from

http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/Software_List.cfm?selDevice=24.

I tried to make some calls with it but interpreted the phone numbers wrongly so i ended up calling country code 36. Wierd.

BTW: Does upgrading like this also upgrade the radio rom?

And thanks for the advice!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
Yeah, the official ROMs will change the Radio. You can pull Radio only roms from the ftp site here if you want. Personally I run the TMobile 2.19.11 UK Radio and it seems to work well here in the States.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
First: Username and Password is xda (same for both)

Second: Most of the ROMs were removed due to Microsoft Demands (see the announcement at the top of EVERY page).

Third: Search is your friend. Take some time to search for things. Most of the ROMs are available via rapidshare, megaupload, and PirateBay, but you need to take some initiative to search.

Also make sure you read and understand all of the stickies at the top of this forum before you just start loading custom roms.

Two questions about Wizard unlocking

In the attempt to become thoroughly educated before attempting to unlock my (Cingular 8125) Wizard, I've figured out that I own a G3 and have downloaded the recommended ROMs for downgrading and upgrading after unlock. Two things I can't find answers for are:

1) how do I determine if I have aku2 ROM? :confused:

2) Should I use lokiwiz 02b or 03a, or does it matter? :eek: I can't find anything that differentiates between them.

I anticipate saving bundles of $$ on unlock fees AND on contracts I don't need! :D

Thanks,

Candy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
First, great job on reading up ahead of time!!! :cool:

To answer you questions:

1) if you go to start > settings > system > Device Information > Version look at the Protocol and that gives you some idea of your AKU. Simplier is that if you ahven't done a custom rom, then your IPL/SPL will be very close to your AKU too

2) Follow the instructions exactly (so use 02b for CID Unlock). May work with 03a, but I haven't tried that (I did use 03a (I think) when doing the SIM Unlock procedure).

Good luck and be careful! Sounds like you are well on your way to becoming a ROM flashing junkie now ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moosiegirl:
Thanks for the help! I guess I'm an aku2 then, based on IPL/SPL both 2.25. I have both versions of lokiwiz so I'm good on that. I'm almost ready to bite the bullet! I kinda doubt I'll ever be that "ROM flashing junkie" though. :o

One more question ... WTH does aku2 MEAN, anyway? :eek: LOL

Candy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
In terms of regular windows, its like Service Packs (as I understand it). M$ makes these available and its up to the carriers / hardware vendors to decide what will be used on what devices.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moosiegirl:
Unlocked! Yippee!!

I did it! :D I followed the directions, and my 8125 is now unlocked. :cool: I have one more question and that is about ROM versions ... I flashed the T-Mobile 2.26.10.2 and now I'm thinking about going back to the Cingular 2.25.11.1 (because I think I can get down the learning curve faster - they're familiar). Is this considered a "downgrade," and should I go back to the Button ROM before flashing the Cingular to be safe? Or can I pretty much go anywhere now that I'm unlocked?

Whoever answers, please speak slowly and in small words -- I'm still not that ROM flashing junkie that mfrazzz thinks I might yet become! :o Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
Very cool and a big congrats! See, it wasn't so bad...

Here's the rule of thumb... As long as you don't go back to a 1.xx ROM then you can flash up and down the 2.xx spectrum (as it stands currently) without having to CID Unlock again. If you do have to go back to a 1.xx ROM for some reason, then you need to do the CID Unlock procedure before you come back up to 2.xx.

So feel free to move back to Cingular 2.25 from here. I will state that IMO, if you decide to move from a custom rom to another custom rom, you should really move back to an official rom before upgrading. Seems to remove nasties that may get left over if you move from one custom to another. (hope that makes sense).

I hope that was slow enough ;) You've taken the bait by CID Unlocking and your eyes will be opened when you flash your first custom rom... You'll never be happy with a stock rom again now. Flashing fever is unavoidable at this point. So jump on in, the water is fine!

With that said, I'm hoping to settle on this current nottoosmart WM6 ROM I'm on now for some time... I'm tired of rebuilding my phone every few days for awhile ;)

Hello, I am new at this forum, but I read a lot about flashing, but I have a little problem.

At first, my G3 Wizard was :

IPL/ SPL 1.03

GSM 1.4.10.0

Os 1.3.1.15

I unlocked CID (with lockwiz02a) and updated to:

RUU_Wizard_Orange_2220101_PLK_222010101_022511_NOCID

IPL/SPL 2.26

GSM 02.25.11

OS 2.22.1.1

and then CID unlocked (with aWizard1.2) and updated to:

faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-8mb

IPL/SPL 2.26

GSM 02.25.11

OS 3.3.0.0

I wanted to update do some WM6, so I atempted to CID unlock my device again, and got error:

CopyFileToTFFS(cidunlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.

I followed the instruktions and downgreaded to:

CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE

IPL/SPL 1.01

GSM: 1.12.10.0

OS: 1.5.4.2

and now I CID unlocked successfully.

I have a question: do I have to CID unlock everytime before upgrading ? I heard that some ROMs set CID locked after upgradeing, is that true ?

Hi, my name is Candy, and I'm a ROM Flashing Junkie!

More questions, because I think I can do WAY better than this production Cingular ROM. I just don't quite know how backups work and if a registry of one ROM can handle getting registry settings backed up from another.

First, on backups ... when you do a backup and then flash to a different ROM, will all your phone/comm settings be reloaded when you restore, or do you have to do something special to get them back? Same for contacts?

Do you have to reload any apps you've installed, or will they be restored?

Does wizbackup.exe work well for all this stuff? Or should I purchase one like SPB?

Now something specific to my current situation ... it seems to me that my battery status is not updating correctly. I remember mention of battery status in some custom ROMs -- do they just move the status icon or do they correct some kind of bug?

One more thing ... I know MS sells a Voice Command program but it seems I read about some kind of Voice Command program on here that is not so pricy ... maybe even free? Who wrote it, and where can I obtain an installer? Is there more than one?

OK, that should keep me busy for another week. TIA for your help!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
Cool, a Geocacher... I put the first Geocache in Colorado out many years ago (when nobody had heard of the term as it it had just been coined on the gpsstash email list). Its one of the oldest active caches :)

The answer is... It depends. In most cases you are going to have to put back your comm (GPRS / MMS) settings. You can either do that by hand (which I have now found doesn't always work due to an issue I had) or by running the cabs that came from your extended rom (but you have to know which ones to use). There are numerous threads around for doing this for the different providers. I'm on Cingular and have the cabs I use for those now.

As for contacts, install the following cab on your current setup and then it will take a backup in csv format to your sd card. Then when you get to your new rom you install this again (or if you instal it on your sd card just run it from there) and it will restore your contacts. Will do the same for your sms messages too.

Reload. Your apps are wiped by doing a new rom. This is one part of the flashing fun that does get old.

Wizbackup (if I recall) is for backing up a ROM and NOT your apps and stuff. I wouldn't use that personally. I use SPB Backup. But mainly this is just to give me a backup that I can restore if I decide the rom I moved too isn't what I want. I've never tried to do a full restore on a new ROM as I don't want system settings and stuff screwing anything up. Also WM5 and WM6 use different PIM databases, so you can't restore the PIM database from one to the other. So again, sync your phone before you flash. Then you can resync on the new ROM and get the PIM stuff back.

There is an actual app called BatteryStatus that most of us use. This is far better than the default one in WM5 stock roms. Its free too :). Latest version is 1.04.201 Beta 3 and works very well for doing your overclocking and more.

Its the same M$ one in the custom roms. I personally paid for Voice Command before doing all this flashing, so I can live with the fact that Voice Command is built into these roms. Some may feel guilt (most don't ;)). Your call, but its there for your use in a lot of the roms.

Do you have a G3 or G4? I assume your IPL / SPL is 2.26 since you went to T-Mo rom... Wizard Love is NOT downgrading. You have to downgrade to the Button ROM, then you can do the CID Unlock (y ou have to get your IPL/SPL down to 1.xx).

hehe, you can only upgrade to a G4 if you remove the chip and replace with another :p

G3 and G4 are different in manufacturing process (and other specs i'm not sure about) and that's why some bootloader files are meant for G3 and other for G4.

But don't be worried as functionality is same and you're better off with G3 because you can unlock the CID for free and flash any ROM without any problems :D
