The Wiki isn't clear enough for me! 2 way of upgrading to WM6 ??? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

hello!
first of all, plese let me say that i read the wiki 10 times.
i also read hundreds of pages in the custom WM6 threads, but i still don't understand something.
i as far as i can see, there are 2 ways of upgrading the ROM.
1. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade
2. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
the first way looks easyer.
anyway, the second one says at point "4..." that you need to download MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and copy it to the custom ROM folder.
but where to download it from??? it sends me to a page with a link. but the
link refreshes the page and it doesn't download anything!!!
anyway, let's say that i somehow manage to download the exe file.
wich way of upgradeing to use??? the second one says that it is good for
any Universal model. i understand that this one is good for Dopod 900, SPV M5000, O2 Exec users. is it true????
then this means that the first way of upgradeing is suitable just for HTC Universal users????
i have a SPV M5000. wich one should i use?
where can i download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file?
also, wich is the latest Bootloader version? in the wiki i see that 1.01 is the last one. but on the forum someone said that he uses a 2.xx version...
ialso want to unlock my device. there is a wiki section for this too.
the 15th step says:
"Flash your original Radio ROM. Do not upgrade the bootloader until you restored an original radio rom."
what does that mean???? do i have to get the last Original ROM from Orange
and to install it after i unlock my device????
i allready have an Original ROM. and i allready have bootloader 1.01.
if i now unlock my device, then do i have to reinstall an Original ROM, and after that i have to upgrade again to bootloader 1.01 ????
in wich order should i upgrade the bootloader, unlock the device and upgrade to WM6?
call me stupid or realy stupid, but i just can't understand those steps i mentioned.
thanks in advanced for your answers!!!!

can i take the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the Radio 1.15.00 archive and copy it to the Custom ROM folder ???
is it the same MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file???
i still cannot find any place to download it from.

If you're on the Orange M5000 ROM already, unlock it before you start messing around with anything else.
Once you have done that by following the wiki, you can play with other ROM images.
The MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe you found in the 1.15 archive will be the same yes.
And nearly all of the custom WM6 ROM images you find on this page will have it included too.
If you want to use the radio 1.15 when you flash the ROM, simply copy the file into the same folder as the other ROM files before you run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, and it will update your ROM and radio at the same time.

i unlocked my device.
it now shows Radio 0.00.00
as i understand from the wiki, i have to reflash the original Radio 1.09.00, onlyy then to upgrade the bootloader to 1.01, and after that to upgrade to a custom WM6 ROM.
but where to download the original 1.09.00 Orange Radio ROM from???
i couldn't find it on the ftp.
does it matter wich radio rom i install? can i now install Radio 1.15.00 and after that to upgrade the bootloader and the OS ???
and also, if i upgrade the OS ROM and the Radio ROM to the latest official Upgrade posted by Orange, will it lock my phone again? or from now on i will have it ulocked no matter wich ROM or Radio i use?
thanks in advanced for your answers!

could you please answer my questions.
i can't realy use my device untill i finalize the upgradeing process.
must i reflash the original Radio 1.09.00 after the Sim Unlock?
or is it safe to flash any different Radio version, say 1.15.00?
i would realy be thankfull to you.

1st method is the newest safest and easiest method
2nd is the old one, not recommended

i see that now the wiki has been updated.
with this method, is it necesarry to take out the SIM and Storage Card ?
the first sentance of the tutorial is:
"This works for when the Universal is in Bootloader and Windows Mobile"
i don't fully understand the meaning of the sentance.
does the sentance want to say that you need to be in Bootloader mode?
and what is it with the "...and Windows Mobile" at the end of the sentance???
as i understand, the main differences between the 2 methods (ex-methods) is that in the new one (available in the wiki) you don't have to use the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe anymore.
instead you have to download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301662
both methods must be done in Bootloader mode.
but in the new one it isn't specified wether you need to
Unchek the "allow usb connections" in activesync.
so, do we still need to uncheck the "allow USB connections" in active sync?
does this new method require to be in bootloader mode when upgrading?
it isn't very clear.
thanks in advanced for your answers.

Reverting AKU 2.3 ¿Upgrade? Spanish ROM RQ

After instaling the ROM in the link:
Prophet AKU2.3 pdamobiz customized rom [G4 with SPL 2.15.0001]
I don't mind this being WWE instead than Spanish, but I got several problems:
Hang during install after first reboot. (after every Hard Reset)
Not all programs installed.
Not all installed programs running.
Some other minor glitches.
I moved from 2.15 ESP Rom (Vodafone) wich I was unable to extract.
Does anyone knows were to find my "old" rom?
I downloaded 2.13 from imateclub but refuses to install: "this nbf file is not for your device, get a newer one".
Help! please.
First, is your CID unlock?
Second, your device have a G4 chip, so you can not be able to install an older version, I mean, If you have a 2.15.0001 you can not be able to install a Rom for a Sapnish Qtek 2.09.0000 or like JAMin by i-mate 2.13.0000.
About where you can find your original rom, I invite you to find it on XDA-Wiki, after you log in under your nick or make a Dump Rom from other device like yours.

Thanks for your answer!
I'm unsure if this is CID unlocked, it is SIM unlocked now, will check for the CID issue. Though I assume that being able to install other 2.15 rom (dopòd) means it is already CID unlocked too....¿?
I was afraid the "downgrading" has to be done in the same version range. (2.15)
Thanks again for the wiki proposal, will go there.
The wiki site is a real mess actually, with no trace of usefull info specific for the prophet. (Sorry to say) Just a couple of ROM's some not working.
No one with a 2.15 ESN rom to share?
Regards.

NEED HELP!!

You can't downgrade to an 1.x rom on a G4. You will brick you're device. Just wondering.... why do you want to downgrade?
indeed the rom you have is already pretty old and crappy why do you want an older crappier rom on there?
because i could not use my phone in this country. Its blocked. if i can downgrade my rom, can i change what i need ?
Thats the why i want to do downgrade..
If i'm wrong pls what can i do..

Downgrading for Upgrading
Dear friends. I recently installed a game named Assassin's Creed on my K Jam. When ever I play this game or other games I get white screen of death after 15 minutes. I want to upgrade my Rom to WM 6.1 for this reason. I have currently WM 5. Now the problem is that my phone is G4. It can't be cid unlocked. I have even used Hard SPL. Soft SPL. Every program from lockiwiz to some cab files. I can't unlock the damn cid. Now what can I do. I have read that there is a rom called CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe. Is this an old rom which I could downgrade to? Can it be downgraded in G4. Please Help! I am in great trouble. The errors I get when upgrading are sometimes This Rom can't be upgraded please hard reset and try again. Error 629 or something. And anohter rom gives a message you mk.mbf file is older so this rom can't be upgraded. Error 600 I think. Thanx in Advance.

Yipeppepepep. I am successful. I am successful. I am successful. Dancing. I am greatfull. You are an angel just like in the movie perfume. Although I will not eat you. Hhahaha. THanx buddy. Your short but precise tutorial was far better than those confusing posts. They have contributed though but it would have been better if they would have catogorized between G4 and G3. Thanx again. And marry christmas to all christians. By the way tomorrow is Muslims' eid. Eid Greetings to all the muslims.

Both the programs 'SoftSPL' and 'HardSPL' are invented by the same very valuable member ' the-equinoxe ' and are posted as Stickies in the G4 forum with clear instructions/heading that its meant for G4 devices.Its strange you cudn't differentiate it as G3 or G4,only if you wud have read it and understood it,instructions are very much crystal clear.Thousands and thousands have benefited from these programs and applications,there's nothing confusing about it.Strange!!!
ksrikanth has simply narrated the same instructions and nothing new,though!
You shud give this credit to the original inventor of these programs,otherwise,there was no other known program to upgrade a G4 device to wm6.He is the 'Angel' in fact.A great service to the wizard community at large,we all will always be thankful to him
And,Thanks for the EID greetings

Dear I was making a mistake. First it didn't tell to copy the nk.nbf file to the soft spl folder in that post as far as I can remember. Secondly I was installing the rom after taking out battery when white screen comes and then trying to install it through bootloader. That was confusing. And the instructions got jumbled up at that time. I mentioned G3 catogrization according to other posts in which bootloader way is instructed but it is only for G3 and not G4. Where as in G4 we have to install rom while the white screen is there and that should also be through the nk.nbf file which we copy from the rom folder to soft spl folder. THis thing was not clearly written in the rest of the posts. This is what I was talking about. As it is my first flashing. So I faced these problems. Anyways this way or that way I got my objective and that is the thing which means to me most. All the people of previous posts as well as this user have contributed so all get credit. Cheers. And best regard.
Placing nk.nbf in the SpftSPL folder is only required while flashing through SoftSPL method,this is a temporary method,you'll always have to use or flash through SoftSPL,but if you apply HardSPL,the phone is Semi-Permanent CID unlocked and remains like this untill you personally don't remove HardSPL.With HardSPL,you just flash and upgrade in Bootloaders like an official stock rom or as in G3,thats the difference in SoftSPL and HardSPL.Yes! a G4 device can be Flashed/upgraded through Bootloaders.BTW,sSPL is a bootloader too
I'll suggest,you reread the SoftSPL sticky again.Regarding instructions in the SoftSPL sticky, I quote:-
"USE AT OWN RISK
How To use?
If you don't know what a G4 safe ROM is, don't even try to upgrade!
WILL NOT WORK IN VISTA
-Unzip SoftSPL.zip
-copy the nk.nbf file from desired G4 safe ROM to the SoftSPL folder
-Fully Connect to ActiveSync
-Run START-sSPL.exe
-the Screen of your Device will turn white, don't panic, this is normal
-SoftSPL will now run the RUU, proceed as usual (the screen of the wizard will stay white during whole process, again don't panic!)
DO NOT PROCEED WITH RUU if the screen isn't WHITE, OR when in bootloader SPL version isn't 2.21.olip"

Buddy. I was talking of that stupid multi colored boot loader. Although I have no problem with the developer or his product. But I want to ask one question. IF things get done with soft SPL then whats the need of Hard SPL. I mean to hell with permanent semi cid unlocking. just relax fool the G4 for sometime get the job done and thats it. Anyways. You win and I loose. Man. They were clear and I was blind. Hhahhahhahah
Ok now here is a problem which I have been facing since I bought my K Jam. Dear. Tell me that can I assign the asterisk button * key to any soft key. Because some games like Assassin's Creed are not recognizing the asterisk key so if by some registry hack will it be possible to re assign that key so that the game may recognize it. OR is there any emulator for games which can assign the control keys?

Which is your device,G3 or G4 ? and which rom is working on it at present.YES! its always possible to revert back to official rom and Bootloaders (IPL/SPL),only the method differs for both the devices.

Hi,
Your device is already flashed to hardspl so do not flash any official ROM's Or you will surely brick your device. Which is the maker of your wizard?
Short details of hardspl :
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21.olip ( Is known as hardspl )
Follow these steps to remove hardspl:
1. Download Qtek 9100 G4 Main IPl&SPL.zip which is attached below. ( Do no worry, this zip is for all th G4 Device which have 2.21.0001 SPL/IPL )
2. Download softspl from here : Link
3. Extract softspl and the provided zip file.
4. Go to extracted folder of the Qtek 9100 G4 Main IPl&SP and copy nk.nbf file.
5. Go to extracted folder of the softspl and paste the nk.nbf file*.
6. Connect your wizard and make sure your activesync is fully connected.
7. Run START-sSPL.exe from softspl folder.
6. Wait till the dos windows apps ends to 100%.
7. Dos windows closes and ruu will be opens.
8. Take a look on you wizard screen, that the screen should be fully white and no active led on top of the device ( I mean network led, power led, wifi led or bluetooth led).
9. If step 8 is OK then you continue to flash the spl/ipl. Follow the RUU instruction to flash the ROM.
10. It completes in 1 - 2 min. Till then do not disconnect or open any softwares. Keep it mind that, your flashing spl/ipl and if something goes wrong, you will surely brick your device )
11. Now you removed hardspl.
Note : *nk.nbf and START-sSPL.exe files should be side-by-side.
Steps for flashing official ROM:
1. Download the official ROM ( Note the official ROM should be the same maker of your device. I mean, If you have a qtek 9100 then you should download qtek official ROM.
2. Extract the official ROM which you have downloaded.
3. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
4. Now you can continue to flash the ROM.
5. Thats all, Now you have the official wm5 ROM.
At unknown percents RUU may hang but you do not afraid or disconnect the device. Wait some time it will surely omplete the flashing.
Warning :
* Before flashing, make sure you have ups for the pc.
* Use windows xp.
* Before flashing, make sure you have not running any background software.
If you have any trouble, Plz PM or post here......
Good Luck
Thanking You

Ok,no problem,as your phone is HardSPL,first remove HardSPL,reflash back to official original Bootloaders(IPL/SPL) and then afterwards reflash the official stock rom with which your phone came,its all very easy,just read and follow this link :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744
And,just don't worry about the old Radio Rom or old IPL/SPL,as its permissible to upgrade by the carrier,just tell them,if they ask,that you upgraded to latest IPL/SPL and Radio Rom,they won't bother.
Its only the Custom Rom and CID unlock they object to,as long as official stock rom is working and G4 devices don't get CID unlocked,it'll show as CID locked,therefore,they have no objection.

New firmaware to HTC S710 (help)

Hi to all. Firstly i want to say that i am new to wm so have almost completly no idea how to flash my phone, recently i have bought htc s710. so here my questions:
1. is there any very detail instruction step by step what to do in order to flash my htc s710. in past i have spent a lot of time flashing and moding motorola phones and about motorola there are a lot detailed flashing guides. About flashing htc i found few instruction, but they differ to each other, and are written in such a misunderstooding way, so for me is no way to understand what to do.
2. my htc s710 have vodafone animation during power off and off, plus vodafone specific bakground which is very annoying.
so 2.1 if i flash with other firmware will be there no animation.
2.2 my pnone is unlocked, it can be used with all operators, so if flash it with firmware will it lock to vodafone operator again
thanks for answers in advance
1). Yes, there is a Wiki available to help flashing your Vox. However if you're comfortable flashing a Motorola handset, you'll slide right in easy with cooking and flashing new ROM's. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_flashing
^ The ROM you download will have an .NBH file along with the FLASH or ROMUpdateUtility (RUU) that will allow it to flash to the phone. You might need to flash USPL to the handset first, which will allow you to write an unsigned or invalid VendorID'd ROM.
2). This just means your handset is Vodafone branded, flashing a new ROM should not lock or re-lock your handset provided it was not "patch" unlocked prior.
as i understand ROM is the firmware i have to flash, it seem quite easy to do.
but do i really need to dump the ROM and cook the rom?
what is mean to dump the rom and cook the rom?
Dumping the ROM is reading your current handset ROM and saving it externally, ie; your computer.
Cooking a ROM is, basically, editing a base ROM to include or exclude certain files, packages and features. It allows you to completely customize it.
If you don't need your old ROM, you don't need to dump it. And you don't need to cook either, only if you want to customize the ROM. Look on the xda ftp. The ROMs in the shipped folder are all original ROMs from HTC or Dopod or so. The HTC ROMs are unbranded. Be aware, that all you previous files and customizations will be lost during the flash process, but you can read that in the Wiki! Good luck
what is login and password for ftp, it ask me connection.
When you click on the link, you shouldn't need a password, otherwise the user name is xda and the password is xda !
recently I'm sending RUU_Vox_HTC_SPA_1.34.412.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.exe
what I have to do when I'll finish sending, only run this and then flash to my phone or what. Recently i have dr. gonzo firmware but i don't like it, it to dark for me, so i've already have some experience how to flash
s710 rom flash
hi all
I'm on a vodafone rom and when i apply a shipped WWE rom I get a vendor ID error.
prob. meaning i need to unlock the phone ? I see some reference about flashing the USPL first. But i can't find how to do this. Can anybody help me out ? thx
Look in the USPL thread. You have to app-unlock it and then flash the USPL to the phone. After that it shouldn't be a problem to flash the HTC-Shipped ROM. But watch out, you data connection might not work after that, because at least in Germany the Connection Wizard doesn't give me the right settings for it!

Unable to load ROMS, AT&T Tilt

Hi,
I have a Tilt, the ROM version is: 1.57.502.2, Radio version: 1.27.12.11. I am trying to downgrade the phone to WM5 or to one of the cooked roms published on this site. I have spent hours reading the WIKI section and many posts. I have tried to install the HARD-SPL however in the begining I had the white screen problem. After using the JUMPSPL, I think that I have managed to install the Hard-SPL (The version that the bootloader shows is: SPL-1.0.Olipof.
I have also unlocked the phone and the CID using tools available on this website. I have no way to check if the unlock works since I do not have another SIM with me right now.
The problem that I am having is that every time I try to install a ROM, I start the upgrade wizard, and get to the point where the phone shows a promt that asks me if I want to approve the execution of a file. I confirm it and then the phone reboots, shows the AT&T logo right away and reloads everything. I do not see the bootloader and after around 60 seconds I get the 260 error on my computer telling me that there is an update error and that the update utility could not access my PDA phone.
I have also tried to get into the bootloader manually, then connect the USB while ActiveSync is open and load an ATT rom (It's an older one with WM5 provided by Cingular) however I get the same results...
Can anyone give me some guidance? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Joe
P.S. The computer's OS is windows XP, I have turned of the Anti-Virus Scanner (AVG)
dude, there is no wm5 for the tilt........i think you are trying to load an 8525 rom on the the tilt and that is not going to work
What about a cooked rom?
Thanks for your reply. Is there any way to install a cooked ROM instead of cingular/ATT provided Roms with WM5?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Like XtreMe_G said, there is no WM5-ROM available for the Kaiser. You can only use WM6/WM6.1 ROMs.
Why would you want to use a WM5 one?
If you want to flash one of the WM 6/6.1-Rom's, read the "Introduction to ROM flashing" (link below) .
This thread needs to die...
There is no WM5 Rom for HTC Kaiser Model.
Nobody has cooked one.
HTC didn't OEM one.
IT DOESN'T EXIST.
RTFF, you'll find everything you need to know about flashing cooked Roms but you will only find WM6 & WM6.1 Roms.​
