I tried using activesync 4.0 and 4.5 but I haven't had the chance to use the 4.2 bcoz i can't locate it in the internet. The PC detects that there is a device but i can't seem to access the device via pc with or without the activesync software. My current set-up now is that i am not using any firewalls in my pc so sync should not be a problem. I also tried to connect the sync cable directly to the pc without any hub or extension. By the way my pc is not yet USB 2.0 its the older version(would this matter?).

If i plug the dopod 838 a balloon would go and says "Found New Device", then "Unknown Device", then "device is working fine". But i can't see any device running.

I know you've been very patient with me Huck- and i really appreciate it. Thank you very much for spending your time guiding me - that goes to all xda-developer users who posted through this thread and tried to clarify things. I just hope i could get thru this, i really love the phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Huckleberry88:
Seems rather an USB related issue to me.

Do you have another USB cable to try with. I have got a cable thats works with my USB-harddisk but would not work with the Wizard and ActiveSync.

Also, any chance to install on another PC? About USB1 vs. USB2.0 - don't know what are the requirements of ActiveSync in detail right now. Maybe you have look in the manual although I would think this should not be the problem.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] LlamaLord:
Can i SWITCH it back?

Ok i install the T-Mobile Rom to my phone i when i turn my phone on it says T-Mobile which i dont want it to say becuase its not a T-Mobile its a Cingular so is there a way were i can just get the old screen back on there or is it ok to have this there? Thank You.

P.S i have WM6 and NBD TouchFlo.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
hi

first plz post vital data about ur device,like IPL/SPL....?,GSM...?,OS ver..?.

also post correctly the present status of ur device,what have done uptill now and where r u stuck up or having a problem,just by saying 'it wont let me active sync and button's rom is working' sry doesn't explain anything.

Do u mean to say u have flashed and downgraded to button's rom 1.05 and its working,only it doesn't let u active sync ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
ok,my friend u say u have flashed tmo2.26 and when u turn on the phone it displays splash screens of T-mobile,well let me explain.When u install any official rom onto ur device,it will splash screen of that official carrier and not the splash screen of the carrier from whom u got the ur phone.U might be using carrier sim of At&t Cingular but as u have flashed a T-mobile Rom,now ur phone's OS is of T-mobile.If u want to c a cingular splash screen than flashback a cingular official rom.It makes no difference.

Now in ur sig. u say u have upgraded to wm6 and NBD TouchFLO 9.2,whats that? have u upgraded to wm6? or NBD9.2 ?

If u have upgraded than how come ur still having splash screens of T-mobile,really confusing,plz clarify ?

it's got have baby steps herembut I hope ur not a baby urself,lol
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] LlamaLord:
Ok what i have done are these step giving and now the splash screen is a T-Mobile but i have the 8125...i put the T-mobile Rom on it because i though you had to...to make this work the right why.

So now when i did that i upgraded to WM6 then i just Upgraded to NBD 9.2 TochFlo and all i want to know is if there is a way were i can get back my Cingular Start up screen or does it really matter what one i have? and if i did go back will i be able to put NBA back on it because if i put the Cing back on that mean i will have to Downgrade then try to upgrade. or could i just use this (Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_Only) to fix my problem??

Sry i am kind of new at the Cell phone thing i am a psp man myself so i am not that dum on this stuff that much Thanks for the Help

@LlamaLord

may I ask how old you are?

I don't think anyone here is thinking of you like that. It is more that you seem not to spend time on finding and reading for the information you are asking for while it is all out there - your questions have been raised and answered many times before.

So you may want to solve your issue by searching e.g. for "changing splash screen" in this forum and find the many answers yourself first.

I would recommend you to read more in the wiki to understand the basic structure of the Wizard ROMs like ISPL/SPL, radio, OS, splash screens ...

Have fun!

i'm a dummy and forgot to turn the screen saver whatever off. when i came back to my computer the screen was black and it wouldn't turn back on. i had to restart my computer and now everytime i try to run the button rom, my phone turns off automatically. is there a way around this? thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Huckleberry88:
You may check whether your battery is up to full ...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jaymzb0nd:
the battery was full but it still turns off. i forgot to mention that after it turns off it turns back on and goes to the red, green, blue screen with ipl 2.26 and spl 2.26 written at the top
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Huckleberry88:
This is the so-called bootloader mode.

Referring to the tutorial you are sort of on step G3.2:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=310831

If you connect to USB you will be able to upload. Continue with step G3.4 (because your IPL/SPL is 2.xx)

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jaymzb0nd:
thanks huckleberry. i followed the instructions of trying to install the wizardlove rom but it's not working either, doing the same thing. now that i look at it and it says 2.26, does that mean that the first install that i did actually worked? that would explain why trying all of this again isn't working. in my device information it says ROM version: 2.26.10.2 WWE.

if this is good and i'm ready to move ahead, where would i go about getting the AKU2, AKU3, WM6 roms and is there one that works better than the other. also, what do they do? thanks a lot!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kevmass:
Wow

i have been trying to upgrage my wizard to wm 6 for weeks and weeks. i followed your instructions and wow it work s many thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
hmmmm !

it's all very confusing,first you said while flashing, you forgot to turn off screen saver,it turned black....which screen turned black ?

Pc screen turned black or phone screen turned black ?

secondly you said you were trying to flash Button's Rom....did it fail to flash?

thirdly you say tried to flash wizard's rom...,but it failed,ok

now you have ipl/spl 2.26

what was your ipl/spl...? before flashing Button's rom and wizard_love rom.

cuz, if you have bad flash or flash fails,it never changes your ipl/spl,your original ipl/spl which was already there cuz of your official rom remains unchanged.

now if you had successfuly flashed button's rom,than your ipl/spl shud have been ipl/spl 1.05..,did you ever see this ipl/spl afterwards when you switched your phone ? So I think this ilp/spl 2.26 must be the original which you had before any flashas you said it shows ROM version 2.26.10.2 WWE in device info.

as you say,both time you had a failure,and you didn't unlock your phone you cannot upgrade to any wm6 roms,it's mandatory to unlock for upgrade to wm6.

anyway, as you say your at bootloader mode (tri color screen),so no OS is at present in your phone.

clear the doubts or try to flash Button's Rom 1.05 again,see if all goes fine,if not tha download your phone's latest official rom fron it's site and flash to recover and bring back the phone to it's original status.

good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Huckleberry88:
Sorry, did not understand completely your current situation:

Are you still in Bootloader mode when you turn on the wizard?

A. If your wizard runs normal:

Don't forget about step G3.5 - check again whether you are CID unlocked - e.g. with the WST tool.

If you are not CID unlocked start over again.

If you are CID unlocked you can have a look for a ROM in the WM6 section.

Currently many members go for the TNT ROMs.

B. If your wizard still turns on directly into the bootlader mode:

need to try again to re-flash with the LOVE ROM or your original ROM

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
DUH !!!:rolleyes:

A.When he confirms his wizard turns on directly only into BOOTLOADER mode,loading no OS,means not running NORMAL,lol

secondly WST tool fails to provide any info while in bootloader mode

He's stuck at BOOTLOADER, to have normal wizard he has to get out of bootloader..so flash back button's rom 1.05 again,if still into booloader ?,than shud download official rom and flash.it'll work.

or,maybe if he has a SDcard in his wizard,by taking it out and ressetting also do the trick.it's seen in some cases that bootloader sometimes stuck if using SDcard.

good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Huckleberry88:
It seems my English in not very clear, so to make it more clear:

Q: Are you still in Bootloader mode when you turn on the wizard?

> If so, follow (B)

>If not, and your Wizard runs just fine with the ROM you flashed, pls follow (A) because it is still not clear whether your wizard is unlocked or not
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tigreyez:
Okay, I've tried following these instructions 3 times and here is the results I get each and everytime.

I get to the screen where it says 'You are now ready to update your ROM image. This operation takes approximately 10 minutes.' and t asks you to click next. I click next and it goes to the screen that says updating ROM image on your phone. My screen on my phone goes black and then immediately blinks back to the red/green/blue bar screen and I receive a message that says ROMUpdateUtility MFC Application has stopped working. I have to soft reset my phone but no changes have happened.

I am trying to update a Wizard WM5 and I am using Windows Vista.

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
Win Vista is not recommended for upgrading procedure,as it's a new OS and still not compatible as it needs certain driver updates,it creating alot of problems in upgrading devices,it's a long explanation,So it's highly recommended to upgrade through "WinXP Sp2",therefore,Install WinXP SP2 on your Pc and get your device easily upgraded.good luck :D

Huckleberry88,

I see you have IPL/SPL: 3.08 - GSM: 2.69.11 and you are still on WM5

As I have the same G4 IPL/SPL and GSM versions and thinking of WM6 can you tall me pros and contras for WM5 and WM6 for this IPL/SPL and GSM version.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
Dopod 838 IPL/SPL: 3.08 - GSM: 2.69.11 - OS: TNT 5.0 w/ HTC home - 2GB Sandisk

ipl/spl 3.08 is the latest highest upgrade

GSM 2.69.11 is also the hidgest upgrade to Radio Rom

OS : TNT 5.0 w/HTC Home is a wm6 based ROM not wm5 Rom

TNT 5 doesn't mean it's a wm 5,but it's the serial series Number what the cooker uses for his new ROM,lol,

As now the cooker of TNT series has launched a new Rom with serial TNT 1437 Professional+HTC Home,so according to you it'll wm1437 ?,lol,lol:D

well I must say that you still need to go through the forum and read ,read and read,still read and undrestand whats ipl/spl,gsm ,os and difference between wm5 and wm6, :p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kbradic:
I must say you are right. I have upgrade in my mind for few weeks now, reading trough forums and still have lot of questions and every day bigger frighten to brick my phone.

But no surrender, I will keep reading.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
I know,I can understand your situation,for a person who doesn't have much know how about all these technicalities have many doubts and fears in his mind,but I can assure you it's nothing to be afraid of,it's not difficult at all,if 100/1000 have done it,so can you,have confidence in you ;)

Just remember, The more you read more confused you'll get but as soon as you actually go through it,you'll get get comfortable,your only concern at present is to get your phone SIM/CID unlocked and upgrade to wm6 custom build Rom,for that, just read and understand the basic procedure for SIM/CID unlocking and how to upgrade ?,okinstead of keep on reading all the threads might get you more confused.So, just go through these two basic guides at present and fully understand the method and forget the rest:-

For SIM/CID unlocking go to this link:-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285435

For how to flash read this :-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=310831

First determine which Device you have G3 or G4,cuz for unlocking and upgrading there is a different method for both.

Post here your device IPL/SPL...?,OS version...? Make of devive...? Carrier...?

It'll help us to determine the present status of your device and advise you accordingly,Good luck :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kbradic:
here they are

as far as i understand it is G4 device

ipl/spl 3.08.0001

gsm 02.69.11

os 3.8.2.1

device MDA Vario

carrier t-mobile
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
OK,Kbradic

That clears the status of your phone,

It's a G4 device, ipl/spl 3.08.0001,OS AKU3

Listen very carefully and do as I say:-

G4 device cannot be CID unlocked by by lokiwiz02b method as G3 device does,it can however can be SIM unlocked by lokiwiz03a method.

Let me explain here what Sim?CID unlock means simply.

By SIM unlock it means if you have a sim unlocked your device you are able to use sim of any carrier other than the present you are using now and use the carrier sim,it will not ask for any sim/pin code to unlock.

By CID unlock, it means if your are able to get your phone CID unlock than you can upgrade to any other custom build wm6 rom.

But as G4 devices can not be CID unlock,nothing to worry as there's another way to upgrade it to wm6 custom build roms,called the SoftSPL and HardSPL method.Just forget about other guides and threads just follow this link and understand this procedure cuz your concern is only for G4 devices don't read other threads fpor G3 devices,ok I hope it will help you, Good luck :D

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kbradic:
what do you prefer soft or hardSPL, since if I use soft there is come back to the default state, but hardSPL flash the phone and warranty is gone.

if i use softSPL and load WM6 what will heppend after reboot of the device?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
sSPL will only be present in memory and never in DOC chip, meaning that as soon as a soft-reset is applied the effect is gone and that will only be useful while flashing the new ROM ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
mestrini my m8 advises

"sSPL will only be present in memory and never in DOC chip, meaning that as soon as a soft-reset is applied the effect is gone and that will only be useful while flashing the new ROM"

Exactly,if you ask me then I'll certainly wud suggest "SoftSPL" if your phone is still under warranty,otherwise also,after the upgrade,your phone will stay in the default state.In this method while flashing it is just to temporarily trick the phone's security check to think that the phone is unlocked and no lock block is flashed to the phone,it's always better,So I'll recommend SoftSPL for you.:D

Ok,after the flash and upgrade to wm6,and reboot,only the phone will go back to it's default status,as far as the unlock trick and phone's security code is concerned, BUT You'll have upgrade to wm6,The new wm6 OS will be flashed and LOAD UP,:p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kbradic:
ok, now I am one more step closer.

what ROM to pick? there are a lot of cooked and suggested versions but as I understand for G4 need to be only OS nothing more in the file for flashing the device.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
:)

Just let me clear your mind regarding Safe roms for flashing to a G4 device,All those Roms which do not include IPL/SPL in it are safe roms and flashed to a G4 device.cuz they do not include any upgrade to IPL/SPL.

Therefore,cookers are making all the rom without any IPL/SPL included in them,so all new wm6 custom build roms are safe for flasing to a G4 device.they have all the files included alone with alot of applications,but only do not have IPL/SPL included,it doesn't matter if the rom contains all the files or applications included in it,it's only IPL/SPL which bricks a G4 device,I hope I have cleared your mind in a simple way :D

There are many new wm6 roms available,check it for yourself,but at present the hottest and favorite are the Xm6r3,NBD 9.2,TNT Professional+HTC Home 1437 series and just launched TNT 1921 series Professional + HTC Home.All these Roms are safe roms.check them,good luck ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kbradic:
What to say then many thanks. I admire you to answer over and over again silly question like my.

Prepared for backup, sSPL and patch the phone. I thing I will go for the last TNT rom + HTC home and cube of course ;) .

Will let you know the result.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
NO ,not at all,that were not silly questions,in fact ,they were very basic know how's and the fears you had in your mind,you had the desired to upgrade,but was desolate ,confused and not confident to go for it.All the concept of unlocking and upgrading was not clear in you mind.

At least, now you have a clear concept, confident and a path to follow

'Did you skip the part where it says that the bootloaders must be 1.xx'

Perhaps,you did not follow the method properly ? Reread the whole procedure again,understand it and check where you skipped and perform the unlocking method,how come you know it's SIM unlocked and CID locked ? explain in detail,ok

Did you flash the button's rom 1.05 initially and used lokiwiz ?

Rerun the button 1.05 ROM downgrade a second time and it will become 1.x on both IPL and SPL. You don't need to redo the unlocking.sometimes it needs more than once to downgrade to ipl/spl 1.xx :)
