Two questions:
1. How do I tell what generation my Prophet is? I see a lot of references to G3 and G4 but no information on how to work this out.
2. I currently have the latest i-mate JAMin rom, which is AKU2.0. Is there is a stable AKU2.3 ROM people have been using or is this still "experimental" It's hard to work this out from the threads.
Thanks all.

1: during bootup, 2nd screen find
SPL
2.xx.0001 = g4
2.xx.0000 = g3
2: aku 2.3 seems very stable. Everything works as expected. i've only installed one version, after reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ht=16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe
it's the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe from this sites' ftp. It has been much more stable and responsive (due to the larger cache) then the preinstalled AKU2.0 on my qtek s200. Boot time is shortened by about 20s.
Before you install this you HAVE to unlock the CID:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Upgrades
i didn't do this first time, and had to find a valid qtek rom that would install, since my device didn't bootup anymore..
Thanks for that. A question about unlocking the CID:
On the Prophet upgrade page you link to, it has the warning (3 times, in bold!): *WARNING!!!!! DO NOT PERFORM THIS IF YOUR PROPHET HAS THIS ROM "SPL 2.xx.0001" (New G4 Version)
Don't all G4's have that ROM? Mine does (2.13.0001). So where does that leave us for unlocking?
Thanks again.
Im also running a JAMin with the latest official rom and ive seen some good things about the 2.3 updates but im new to the whole cooked roms thing but ill figure it out.
What would I loose by upgrading from my JAMin rom and what would I gain?
Can I go back to my jamin rom if I dont like it?
I have installed the latest DOPOD ROM and I run it native without any soft installed and I reboot only about 1 a month!
To partially answer my own question: The CID unlock process looks like it IS for G3s only. To upgrade G4s you use pdocwrite.exe.
I've seen the details for using pdocwrite to install the pdamobiz ROM, but has anyone used it to install the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe?
Cheers

I'm guessing you'd loose some of the vendor customisations - which really are only some useless themes and the network provider settings - which for me just means setting up GPRS. Of course, you also risk loosing your JAMin entirely if you stuff it up
What you gain is a more up-to-date OS which is faster...
what about the extended rom? all the custom stuff is in there, i can access it no probs but would that remain with the rom mentioned above?
would I still be able to run them (if I back them up)
just been researching this rom, looks like it defaults overclocks your device and installs a ton and I mean a ton of apps that most people dont want.
Be warned, its heavily customized and may not be to everyones liking.
Anyone know if I do upgrade to this and unlock my CID if I can then re-apply the official JAMin rom?

To anyone reading this, here is my experience as of last night.
On my G4 I tried installing 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe after first hard-resetting my device. The installer went ahead fine, but it would not start-up: it would not get past the boot loader screen. So I reinstalled the latest i-mate ROM, booted up, then proceeded to try: ftp://xda:[email protected]/2006-10-05_Upgrade ROM_AKU2.3_lvsw.rar.
This uses the PDAmobiz method to upgrade a G4 which is essentially running a batch file while it unlocks and writes to the ExtRom and the ROM - then doing a hard reset, but it is not the PDAmobiz ROM.
This worked fine, and I now have AKU2.3. Even better, it is not customised, so there's no extra software installed, which I'm happy about. It's been running over night and seems very stable so far. I'm not sure what the paging size is on the ROM, maybe it's smaller = more stability.
So that's my experience!
My experience:
My JAMin running IPL/SPL 2.13.0001 using that rar file that worked for you...
hung on the copy of the OS to the device.
Trying now to recover it by downloading and trying to install latest JAMin update.
I cant get activesync / network connection using USB to phone... Don't know if that will be a problem trying to recover. Its sitting at the 3 colour screen atm.
Is there a way for me to update to IPL/SPL 2.15.0001 from 2.13.0001 before trying again? (assuming my phone is not already dead).

If your phone is G4, you should be able to install the vendor ROM no problem - which is magical really. You don't need ActiveSync running; well - it won't connect as the device is dead .
When you say it hung copying the file... it took a good 15-20 minutes to copy across for me, so I hope you weren't just being impatient.
yeah the JAMin rom worked so I'm back where I began.
I did wait 30 mins and it had crashed.... activesync wasnt doing anything, buttons / screen taps weren't working on pda.
Is it because I am running 2.13.0001 is my worry? The update specifies its for 2.15.0001. Is there any way I can update to 2.15.0001 from 2.13.0001 before trying again?
Cheers.
Tried the update again, and this time it worked.
Device is running AKU2.3 now, but still says 2.13.0001 for ipl and spl on boot.
Any ideas anyone on how I can update that to 2.15.0001? and what kind of change that makes anyway?
Thanks all.

you have been researching a different rom. this one does certainly NOT overclock the device by default. And it's a clean install, without any overhead, but WITH the stereo bluetooth headset support. perfect for my uses.
looks like i was looking at another rom, one loaded with junk.
I took the plunge and updated my jamin to the 16mb 4pda rom and im now back on the official jamin, it was way too unstable. Today I rebooted 5 times.
The volume is too low on headset and loud speaker
and some other annoyances.
I need stability
when i'm using AKU2.3,
in Settings / Regional Settings:
there is no "Turkey" option (also Russian).
how can i do that, is there a patch for apply these regions ?
thats why i'm using latest official jamin rom now (wwe) (from clubimate.com)
Ive found the source of instability with the 4PDA rom. Its the radio rom 02.30.21
I went back to my old ROM on my jamin and all was fine, a day without crash, Then loaded on radio rom 02.30.21, hardreset for good measure and setup again,. same as always.
Then, every hour or so im resetting.
Back to official jamin rom and all is fine again.
Radio ROM 02.30.21 is just totally unstable. Ideally I would like the AKU2.3 updated rom but without this awful radio rom they seem to be putting in them all.
ive been flashing roms for a good year now with pretty good lucky with everything. but now with the 1620 and greater(1908) i have had the problem where i will build a rom or flash one of the cooks roms(OCTAIVOI's Wizard 4.5) and it will flash fine..but upon the first boot(and every boot after) it will freeze and restart when it reaches the screen calibration... i have only been able to flash and run one 1620 ron and that is NBD 9.1
i really have no idea what this problem is, i have tried everything i can think of(flashing back to manufacture rom)
any help or just ideas would b great appreciated!
i hope im not the only one with this issue...
Perhaps it is a touch.dll related issue, the touch driver on the wizard is either one that is compatible with the Touch sfotware such as the cube etc, and the other is not (the original) perhaps you are combining the wrong driver into the ROM.
no i dont believe so, bc ive tried roms that were already built and tested by others...and i have the same issue some how...and on my rooms i dont include the cube so i dont believe i a touch.dll involved....im starting to wonder if its might b a hardware issue somehow..idk
on another note my wizard cant be overclocked past 223...idk if that could have any correlation...
thanks for the fast response!
Are you flashing from a base rom like tmobile or cingular 1st?
Try those then flash to the wm6 of your choice. NBD seems the most stable with that build.

Hi,
i have O2 Exec,
flashed this version of WM6
Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.06 WWE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343736
it works ok, but doesn't see my 8Gb SDHC card (actually i see only 3,8GB)
I tried to flash another roms, but my uni is not booting after install. Only this one (Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.06 WWE) is working. When i try to boot my phone O2 logo is displaying and thats it.
Question: is it enough to download and install new rom, or i need to install somethink else? I tried also to install 6.1 rom, but it doesnt boot my phone also.
If i need to install somethink else, can you add link also
Thanks for help.
I have one idea what i did wrong.
When i flashed new rom i started it ehat windows was launched (not from bootloader). Is it possible that this way i break my radio and after that my new rom won't start?
i looked wiki, but i didn't get answer
Thank you for not anwering
Still have same problem
Hi,
I want to upgrade the ROM of my HTC Tytn II to the version NoThrills WM61 NLD V3. I was wondering what happens to the software, which is currently installed on my device, by the phone provider (KPN Netherlands), like EasyMenu, after this upgrade.
I'm not saying that this software is that important to me, but I just want some more information about this.
Thanks for your answers,
Dennieku
everything will get erased as u will need to do a hard reset...u can back stuff up and do various backups to things u want but u will need to search for that
The phone will be wiped clean and the ROM you upgrade to will be the only thing on it. You can use UC to add stuff you want to the new ROM on first boot (provided that the new ROM supports it).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
OK, thanks for your answers !!!!
yeah, technically it gets wiped clean, but mine still has some orange software that got installed the first time it started up after i flashed it.
Hello people,
Can anyone help me? I update my radio rom, and now my wizard stuck in spl screen, and reboot... don´t start...
Please can anyone help?
Regards
Radio Rom doesn't kill a wizard,it just might be a bad flash,first do a Hard Reset,check if this solves the problem,otherwise,reflash the Radio Rom again.Is the battery fully charged,sometimes a weak or discharged battery also create this problem.
But now my wizard don´t charge!
YES ! it won't charge in spl screen or Bootloaders mode,It'll only charge,if there's a working OS running,you'll have to get it charged through wall charger.
Have you tried a Hard Reset,do it,it might set the things working.
Thanks!
Thanks, i install the custom ROM and after install SNN Diamond Rom and he is ok now.
Why i can´t install SNN Diamond ROM in my device? Because when i update my ROM, nothing happend, still custom ROM!
Is the manilla compatible with wizard or throtlle?

Wizard is i think CID locked
Must be
That's the right thing hehe but its time to see people that dont read dont serach and dont understand... dont ask neither. Too much luck this guy revives his wizard... BTW what do you mean with custom ROM??? are you sure what are you talkin about?
The Manilla 2D is almost done just wait for fix something on memory space... then we can have manilla 2d in wizards... i have it but it said.. you dont have enough memory bla bla bla just 2mb for storage and 13mb for programs
And throttle launcher is in beta! fully beta! is slow.
