Hi,

Forgive me, I'm a newbie, but in big trouble, so it's possible that I'm asking in the wrong thread.

So. I tried to upgrade my Wizard's (G3) ROM, but at 95% I got an error saying there's problem with the connection, although I didn't touch anything meanwhile:p The restoration process wasn't successful, the only thing I have now, is the three-color start screen, RUU , IPL and SPL both 1.10, and USB if plugged in. I tried to run the update utility with other roms, some of them doesn't even start the upgrade process, others hang up at 95%, as the WM6.

Whan can I do to save the situation beside praying? :(

I have been there...

The only way to fix it is to pull out the battery and a the rainbow screen screen you need to use the default ROM for your carrier. Like i lad to down load a T-Mobile 2.26 ROM and run it. it will fix it. have patience... it does get stuck but the default rom will bring you PDA to file. then if you want to install a different ROM my suggestion is to powercycle your before you try to upgrade it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gmanus:
make sure you remove the SD card before you do any thing
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Go back and follow Dr. P's thread EXACTLY and do EVERY STEP. You should not be trying to flash any advanced ROM with an IPL and/or SPL that is not 2.x (preferably you should be on 2.26, so go grab the TMobile Ship ROM).

People seem to think that flashing the TMobil (or similar) 2.x ROM is an unnecessary step, but this HAS to be done. This is how people brick their devices...

Hi,

yesterday, as instructions which I have read on this marvellous forum, I have downloaded T-mobile rom and succesfully installed it, after i have installed the most beautiful rom, but spl and ipl are 2.21 not 2.26. It is a problem?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I've heard others running on 2.21. As long as you are on 2.x of some type you should be ok. But personally, I think being on the latest official IPL/SPL is probably best (but like I said, others have posted running on 2.21).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] cyberz:
Hi, thanks for the answer. :) Effectively, the device work very fine with these ipl/spl. However, how can I install only the ipl/spl without re-installing another full rom, then re-installing MB rom, then reconfiguring and resintalling all in the device ...? Is possible?

I not know why, but, yesterday, I had followed the instructions in the link found in the tutorial post for upgrading the Wizard, I had followed the links to files too, I have downloaded the rom from Tmobile home page(seem the last), nevertheless now I have old ipl/spl. ???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I'm not aware of how you can update IPL/SPL without installing a full ROM (always good to have a stable base anyway). If 2.21 is working for you, then stick with it if you don't mind. You could always use spb backup to take a backup of your stuff, then grab the 2.26 TMobile ROM and reflash (making sure IPL/SPL change), then reflash the WM6 ROM you are using, then restore from backup. Sort of up to you if you want to go through that or not. I'll let others comment if there is another way to upgrade just IPL/SPL, or if this is even necessary.

At your peril.

Guys the board is getting an increasing amount of legal attention and the Moderators and Admins have discussed this, and we are not prepared to host or directly link to downloads of Crossbow at this time.

Please don't upload it to the XDA ftp without speaking to a moderator. This isn't about being clever, it's about staying legal.

Those who want it know who's got it....

PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD OR LINK to this file for now.

This will be a bannable offence, 1 warning only

Also, please be aware.

There are crossbow roms out there that will permanently lock your phone radio and cause potential bricking. Use caution.

hi vijay555,

nice of you to warn us about things we know :)

so far i couldn't upload anything to xda ftp , so why this warning ?

as far for the links there pointing to this site where you need to register

and now some chinese to get what u want. So far we still miss 2 files.

So atm there is nothing illegal about it.

otherwise the new 3100 will be out soon, having the new os. it be a matter of time to get it out of this thingy and convert to wizard rom

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] da_jojo:
well i digged it up from this other site somewhere, so it wouldn't be to strange that the same members turn up there. More interesting is there source , this haahaa2000 guy seems to know a lot about roms.

i'm not to sure wheter this rom is suitable for the wizard and its probably in japanese.

I downloaded the software file which contains software lol , some nice progs

probably in japanese.

just finished downloading this file RAMDisk32M_PagingPool32M.rar

it contains a file nk.nbf

it looks like a bin file for flashing
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] vijay555:
Sigh....

da_jojo: I'm asking in advance for you guys not to make extra work for us, because we (the moderators and administrators) will have to delete the rom if you do upload. I've said before, this isn't for us to be hard asses, it's because if there is legal action against the forum we may have to close.

Look: there are copies of Crossbow out and have been for a while. On pretty much all the major HTC devices. I know you all want it and are excited. Cool. Just tell each other who has it, and download from each other if you must. But just not through the board.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] da_jojo:
vijay dont worry , i myself do not want this forum to be closed and i have read all the stuff we're supposed to read as a member. I have had a forum for few years so i understand how much work it is. Since talking about it aint illegal and offering links to sites that link to maybe a romfile isnt illegal either.

If we find a working copy , we will ask for your opinion about it. Since we now know about it allready, there is no need anymore to do so.

But i wonder why this customroms are not illegal .. whats the difference ?

btw i just looked at your site :) this torch program is just what i needed :D

i think im gonna be the nr1 user of this little wonder u made.. hehe..

Legality of roms

da_jojo:

My posts on custom roms:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=287178#post1082096

Do note - the torch app is not Wizard compatible. I've never had a wizard, so can't debug on it, so don't write for it :( One day I'll make it compatible.

The reason Crossbow roms are different is because the roms have been leaked by people under NDAs or working for the Man. Public release of those roms puts those people at risk, and gets us involved. We don't want to be legally responsible for that. Maybe later once the roms are publically released we'll support them in the normal way. Right now, best not to risk it.

Hi,

yes, 2.21 working well.

Sincerely, I have one Qtek 9000 too, but this 9100 with MB rom is more fast and more stable! I think: the 9000 is a Intel Bullverde 527MHz, 9100 is only a samsung omap 195MHz.

Who have developed the MB rom is a God! Or 9100 is a better device? :o)

Some Cons with MB version and Underground; HELP!

Hey guys, if you guys have any answers or can help with any of these issues please help. I have installed both MB version and Underground, and its hard for me to decide which one to keep.

One thing I noticed for th MB version (havent tested it with underground) is that the volume sliding bar on the side of the phone only works when on the today screen. In any other menu, it works like an up and down arrow (very annoying)

MB cons:

-Scroll bars are WAY too thin and small (any way to fix this to normal? Underground has normal scroll bars)

-After sending a text message, a notification comes up saying "text message sent", and although "request delivery notifications" is UNCHECKED, I still keep getting the message. There is no option under sound/notication settings to turn this off either.

-The time is in military format instead of standard

Underground:

-there are jumbled characters in the sound/notification settings (though I found a cab file that supposedly fixes this; will have to test it out)

-MOST annoyingly, the Day and Date are separated onto two separate lines, rather than reading across in ONE line. LVMtime is NOT the solution to this b/c it has a windows mobile 5 icon and it sloppily overlays the time on the upper bar of your phone.

And for BOTH of them, they both EAT UP BATTERY LIFE like CRAZY! I've tried some battery cab tweaks, but they didn't help substantially.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Get rid of Smartskey or change the .ini file for it and that may fix this issue.

There is a registry fix for this. Don't have it offhand, but if you look in the MBE thread, the fix is mentioned in there (and elsewhere in these forums).

Again, these are registry fixes. Sorry, don't have where they are at offhand, but they are both fixable.

LVM Time can be configured NOT to show the time in the upper bar (thats what I've done as you are right, its done sloppily. Someone else this morning in one of the WM6 topics posted a registry fix to do single line.

For me, the CAB provided by Dr. P in the thread on battery life made a HUGE difference. I see almost no difference in battery life now compared to my original CIngular 2.25 ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] marscandybars:
Heh... call me anal... but if you look at the clock icon for lvmtime, it uses the windows mobile 5 icon (puke).... windows mobile 6 clock icon is 10x prettier LOL (link to registry fix for single line day/date?)

anyone know how to get the MB version time to show standard time rather than military?

As for the omitting the sms notification after sending, i found a registry fix, that I guess worked for windows mobile 5, but I tried it, and it doesnt work. I found the registry fix for scroll bar width this morning :-p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
With a little searching (not that hard) i found this:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\AutoSingleLineDatePlugin=1

I actually just stumbled on this...

Start->Settings->System->Regional Settings->Time

Change the time settings so it starts with a lowercase h (there is a scroll bar on the dropdown!). Uppercase H is military. Lowercase is not.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Yep, I just looked and I don't see it either. Sorry, just something I found when searching. As I said I use LVM Time and it works for me (I just basically turn off all the extras it does like displaying the clock). I looked at the registry stuff and it appears teh "Single Line Time" in the MBE rom is just using LVM Time also (but just the dll or something).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] marscandybars:
I officially want to keep the Underground rom, as it seems less "buggy". But if the MB rom uses LVMtime also, isn't there any way to transpose the same thing onto the underground rom? A cab file perhaps? Or does anyone have the newest version of LVMtime for WM6?

what rom is better? (faster and stable) ???

mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE

Wm6 - most beautiful edition

faria - 2.18.0.0 WM6
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Most Beautiful Edition - I ran on this for a week and it was a good ROM, BUT it takes a lot of tweaking at the front to get it that way. Out of the box its slow, consumes tons of battery, and had numerous issues. I never could get WiFi to work (or work reliably). Overall its a nice ROM once you tweak it out. It was stable for me.

Faria "the real thing" - I had it on for 24 hours or so and its a good rom right out of the box. Seemed to hold the battery well and all. It comes wth a lot of stuff built into it, and it to me it was a very nice ROM. Some have reported issues installing on G4, and there have been some quirks that people are running into (but I didn't experience those, but didn't run it all that long either).

mUn aRTM - I just installed this last night so I haven't had it on my phone for 24 hours yet. This is a fast rom (fastest of the three), and so far very good on battery drain (ie: battery lasts a long time). I've run into a couple of quirks (phone hangs on a soft reboot on the last screen if USB cable is plugged in), and I just had a lockup, but I don't know if thats the rom itself, or the fact I put Battery Status 1.04 Beta on (this same version causes the MBE rom to have lockups so I suspect it to be the problem and will move back down to .04.200 version which ran well on MBE). This is a clean rom (so not much on it) so you have lots of memory to work with and will have to load it with what you want.

Faria and mUn are better than MBE (IMO) but then they've only been out for a few days so I'm sure there is stuff to wring out. I'm liking the mUn ROM, but it still feels like MBE (ie: its a port of a leaked WM6, so there are some quirks in it). The Faria ROM to me felt more solid, but again, others have hit issues with it too (but not sre if thats due to how they did the upgrade or what (ie: not going back to an official ROM before flashing it).

I'll proably stay with mUn's for now, but when Faria comes out with the Vanilla version, I'll probably move to that one as I think thats going to be sweet and very fast.

Problems with RUU_mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE-Fixed-Using.exe

I have been using this rom for about a day now. It *is* very fast and seems relatively stable, although I have had some freezes.

Here are some problems I've seen thus far:

1) No daylight savings time so it is stuck on standard time (PST). The posted Microsoft updates for DST don't appear to work on this WM6.

2) It had a lot of trouble recognizing the t-mobile network at first. It booted up showing Cingular, and working, although it had to be talking to t-mobile. It also froze several time when trying to find a network (at first). Now that it is set for a network (the same) this part works fine.

3) Some remote desktop options send it into neverland. So does playing with the phone network selection. JUst have to reboot until it works, set network selection to manual and leave this alone.

4) I've had it freeze on some net accesses, but don't have enough experience to identify necessary and/or sufficient conditions to trigger this. Also some freezing when trying some operations in pocket mechanic and, perhaps, sktools.

Main show stopper for use at the moment is daylight savings time. A fix would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the rapidshare link page doesn't seem to be working now (tried to check it to see if any updates.

Read the Wiki and every Sticky in the Wizard Upgrading and this forum. If you have further questions then read them all again. If you still have questions, then ask the specific thing you don't understand.

All the steps and information is already here for your taking. But you have to do some work yourself to learn this stuff. Otherwise you will attempt it, fail and be back panicked with a phone that doesn't work. So please read and learn before you attempt any of this.
