wm5->wm6 please help - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading

I wrote in the "WM6 Rom collection" thread three days ago, but nobody answered yet , so once again i ask my questions.
I'm a newbie, sorry for my questions and my poor english. I've already read the wiki, and read in forums a lot.
Are the wm6 roms (the newers like PDAViet 4.0.0.0.5a and Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4) both for G3 and G4 models? How do I know if a rom is for G3 or G4 if it is not written on it?? (I don't really want to brick my phone)
I've cid unlocked my G3 device (as it was written in the wiki) Now ipl is 2.09 spl 2.20.0000 and I have the old rom becouse of the cid unlock(14409.1.1.2) and the original qtek extended rom.
2nd queston: Do I have to do something with my extended rom (clear or uppgrade or delete?..) before flashing a wm6 rom, or just do the things what is written in the wm5->wm6 wiki? plz help, couse i couldn't get more information by reading the forums.

have you download this roms?
try them ... you see all what you need if you see in the archiv and importent ... read the guidelines!!!!!!!!
if you do this ... you know all what you need!

Thanx for your quick reply.
Sorry, I don't understand,
I wrote, couse I want to try them, but I don't dare to try them, couse there wasn't written if these are good for both g3 and g4 models. (or where should I read it?)
what do you mean of reading archiv and importent, ang guidelines? Should I read the whole "WM6/Crossbow Prophet Info" thread whit its 750 posts?
Actually I want to uppgrade to this rom:"PDAViet 4.0.0.0.5a Cross" and I read it's thread, But I haven't ever made a rom upgrade, and I don't know what to do with my extended rom, and this g3/g4 thing.
I also tired to use the search.but it didn't find anything.
It would be nice if you could give some links where I can find exactly what I need.

you'll find it in the step 1 folder
extract the ROM you've downloaded there should be 2 steps right? open step 1 folder there are 2 executable files, usually the file names are:
ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe
ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe
you do know your device is a G3 or G4 right? just open the ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe if your device is G3 or ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe if you have G4 device. that's it go to step 2 and you're done. how hard can it be??

im havin d same prob too...so d thing is we need to first download d WM6 ROMS at d archieve then we will know what to do next from d guidelines..izzit ?

Yes, that's what I'm wondering too, can someone please tell us what's the best english rom out for this phone?
I guess we all are on same boat, trying to find the best available ROM for prophet after WWE offcial ROM as its been quite a while for offcial ROM upgrade for this device.
Check the FTP
There are several cooked ROMS avail. There are several 2.3 versions, and the 3.2 Beta is also out. Do a search. As for which is the best, it depends entirely on you. What I do is READ & READ, until I get an overall sense which is the fastest, most stable etc. In the end, what many people say is best for them, may not be good for you.
But like you, I've been usin the Dopod official ROM since May, and feel it's time to inject new life into my device.
If anyone care to give a short review of the ROMs they've tried in this thread (or make a new one), it'll definitely help a lot of people...
If you love aku2.0 customized rom in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269313, I bet you like this AKU2.3 customized rom.
ftp:/ /xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-roms/RUU_Prophet_G3_2151327_AKU23_023021_P12MB_Dopod_PDAMobiz_v103.rar
(To download above link, copy url to your browser, delete space between ftp:/ /)
Software listed pictures check at http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=60019
It's AKU2.3 with extended rom as same as v.1.02, fast and stable.
================================================
But if you would like lots of application, check at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277474 (MMS missing, but can be get in that thread)
See the pictures here http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68751
You may choose 8mb or 12mb (less problem from users feed back).
16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe
I am using 4PDA/Frog's 2.3 ROM from the FTP site. Its fast and stable. The problem I had with the PDAMobiz rom was its full of stuff and made to device slow, also it reset sometimes on its own. Also the backlight would come on for no reason.
I have tryed all the ROM's from the FTP site and this is the best IMHO.

hello,
is it possible to update an G4 Device by copy the nk.nbf file from the above package to a "G4 Rom" and replace the existing nk.nbf?
For example in the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID Rom?

If you do not really know about it, don't try. Because it might be a possibility to break you prophet, if that nk.nbf has spl 2.xx.0000 inside.
Use itsme pdocwrite to upgrade to G4 by replacing ru.nb with your new os rom. (you have to use command "typho5.exe -x -v nk.nbf" at dos prompt to extract os-rom, check at ftp for typho5.exe tools)
Upgrade utility is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277474 (look for upgrade for G4)
someone could make about the Roms a sticky thread here. Which is aswell updated

or something link that. will help to find the actuall roms for the right devices better....
Best ROM for Prophet (M600?)
well I can't really answer that can I but I can report the following.
I started off with the Orange oem ROM. Quickly I decided I wanted to get rid of this as I'm not with Orange (and I'm an incessant tinkerer), so I went for the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.
My phone was unlocked using the IMEI-CHECK service (so not sure what they unlocked exactly but it seems happy for me to re-flash it).
I ran with this ROM for maybe 2 months- no real problems BUT I really missed the voice speed dial.
A couple of days back I went for the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe
This seems to be stable so far, a "bit" more responsive maybe, but with the unexpected bonus of having voice speed dial again!!! Yes, this ROM has voice speed dial - hoorah.
So for any of you old Orange M600 users who upgraded but lost the voice speed dial this could be for you.
I've not spotted any major problems at all. The only odd thing was that the COMM Manager hard key was not bound. A 2 sec job to fix that.
Now I did do a soft reset before letting the hard reset process finish with the customisations. No idea what happens there in this case.
I <believe> my phone is G3?? The IPL is 0000 - is that correct?? I read and checked everything I could and it seems to have turned out OK.......
Is there any way that someone could do up a quick, idiot proof tute on how to update your rom on a G4 device?
Also, is this AKU2.3 rom 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe in russian or english? The website link which shows the AKU2.0 version is all in russian...
Thanks guys (from another n00b)

Yes the fastest one way to figure this out again is to read the stickies labeled unlocking and UPGRADING. That is usually pretty helpful.
help wanted

Which is your device, a G3 or G4,how come we can tell,untill and unless you do not post the vital data of your phone,no one can suggest you any help without knowing the version of your phone.always post the data.
Well 'trustworthy post on how to upload WM6 on my MDA?',why ?,do you think what all is posted here in this Forum is not Trustworthy.
Very rightly said by moseslin 'Read The Stickies',you'll find all the answers here, just "Help Yourself"

which DOC chip version you got,a G3 or G4 ? to verify post your IPL/SPL...? or download the WST Tool,install and run it and post the report to determine if it's a G3 or G4 device.You can download the WST tool here :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
If it's a G3,it's required to first CID unlock the device and than upgrade to wm6.
How to CID unlock,check this guide here :-

But if a G4,read here how to upgrade :-

just a little help after 2.21.olip

hey guys,
after using hard_SPL-G4.exe
i made my SPL to 2.21.olip
what i have to do next? can i install a wm6 now perhaps Jaguar?
or what i have to do now? when i try BlackDiamond 3.1 Touch.rar i get error 300 invalid update tool and other wm6 dont work too...
plz help...
i have a MDA VARIO FROM T-online
If you read and understood the HardSPL thread in the G4 forum, you shouldn't be asking this. That thread is clear (IMO) how HardSPL works.
But put simply, yes, if you have HardSPL installed, then you can flash a custom rom like Jaguar or somesuch on your G4 just like the G3 users do. But you need to understand that you may have to switch the RUU that is used (again, that is discussed in the HardSPL thread in the G4 forum).
Please read and understand the HardSPL thread though before you wind up bricking your device.
u need to find the ruu mun file its laying around in the g4 forum im using a g4 myself so i have dealt with the process involved so if any questions just pm me or ask away in the g4 forum

1. get the original ROM from your carrier. for instance, you can download the TMO version from their website.
2. read stickies before posting and follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
3. pick any of the many WM6 roms here and flash.
4. since you have a G4, make sure you read the part about G4 flashing in the above thread.
thanks for that, i have had a look on O2's site but they do not have any original ROMs or anything at all for my mini xda. I dont know why because its a popular phone as far as i am aware :S
any other places i can get it from? cheers
