*..sigh
read the wiki/use the advanced search function.. it's been explained a 1000 times. but allright..
- Just flash back to an AKU2.2(NoVendorID)-ROM (either Jesterz's or the one from smart1's thread)
Do this by entering bootloader (holding down camera-button and reset with stylus), pluggin in the USB and executing the *.exe on your PC.
- When flashed back to AKU2.2, you can flash any AKU2.2/2.3/3.3/WM6-ROM you want, as long as you read the install-notes of that particular ROM.

Issues with upgrading to WM6 - solved + tips

Hi guys
I know this has been asked a million times before, but trust me, I've tried following the tutorials posted her but with no luck.
So here goes:
I've tried flashing this ROM:
http://rapidshare.com/files/24185105/ruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_382120_026911_tmo_de_ger_ship.zip
via awizard but it stopped so I've unplugged it, got it into bootloader mode and flashed with the xplore WM6 ROM but it just hangs at the boot up screen after restarting.
G3 device
IPL 3.08
SP 3.08
GS 0.269.11
OS 3.8.2.2
Any ideas?

Was your wizard CID unlocked ?
I see that you have OS 3.8.2.2 , that is not my OS. It should have been 10.2.0.8.
That means your wizard might have been locked.

Very strange.
I did run CID-unlock first. It was running xplore before I tried flashing the tmobile rom, so maybe the images didn't get flashed.
Anything I can do to fix it?

Okay, I'm busy trying to flash the wizard_love rom. Been sitting at 96% for a while lets hope it goes further.

Okay, the upgrade went through. OS2.26
XDS-dev tutorials and the love rom for the win! Now I can relax again...
Will flash to WM6 soon.

Heh. So now that you have found the tutorials helpful, perhaps you'd consider changing the thread title?

Sorry about that, have changed it.
For some reason I can't get it back to WM6 but will try again and keep you guys posted. Device is definitely CID unlocked, but for some reason it keeps hanging at the boot screen.

OKay, assuming my wizard got CID-locked for some reason, how do I downgrade to ver1 to unlock it again?
I've downloaded button's ver1.05 rom. Can I just install it, or will it give me an error saying I need a newer ROM?
Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to take any chances.

Luke....use the Force... Follow the steps in the tutorial link (in my sig.) but the short answer is "yes".
--M

Hehe, thanks I've done that. Will try tomorrow, thanks.
I feel like a bit of a plonker asking so many questions with such obvious answers.

Okay, after a LOT of trial & error I've finally gotten it back to WM6. Here's what I did:
1)Downgraded to IPL/SPL 1.01 using button's ROM
2)CID unlocked using lokiwiz
3)Upgraded to mr_clean AKU2.3
4)Upgraded to Faria's WM6
I didn't use aWizard as usual, just the rom upgrade utilities that came with these ROMS.
Hope this helps anyone that's struggling with the same problems I've been having.
Thanks for the tutorials, they've been a great help. The only part that didn't work for me was upgrading to T-mobile's 2.26 because it would freeze on the bootup screen after upgrading to WM6. Replace that step with mr_clean 2.3 and it works fine.

hey how did you get your wizard_love rom to get past 96% without crashing? mine just gives me error 302, which is  ERROR [302~318] : UPDATE ERROR
any clue? thanks

Fix for freezes WWE official 6.1 (only if using HardSPL) - Confirmed

Hi !
By freeze i mean: tap the screen or press keys and nothing happens for 2-5 seconds. This would happen to me about once every 2 minutes.
This is what i did:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568
I used the SPL extracted from the nbh of the official wm6.1 build which reverted my SPL back to the official one. You won't be able to flash a custom ROM anymore, until you install HardSPL again.
I have been using the Kaiser for about 30 min and no freeze.
It was not my idea that it was a SPL issue, someone mentioned this in a thread about the leaked WWE 6.1 (which is identical to the official WWE one)
edit1: This only applies if you installed HardSPL
edit2: Thanks to shafez for being the first to think about this. Apparently i was trying it at the same time as him, so i didn't know he also posted the results, that's why i started the thread as soon as saw the fix worked.

did you notice any other improvements like speed?

kyphur has a pagepool patcher program that allows u to modify pagepool of ur rom nbh very easily.
use search; its on here. use a phrase like "kyphur pagepool patcher" which should bring up promising results.

what you did exactly?
u changed PP or flashed another SPL, if its SPL, could you post it?

I don't doubt that you are experiencing better behavior, but I would like to get some more information on this from a developer who actually understands the mechanics here.
I am certainly not that person, but as I understand it the SPL is a bootloader. As such, I'm not really sure what it has to do with operation of the OS after the OS is booted.
In addition, everything I understand about the pagepool, and changing the pagepool, I have a hard time understanding how a different SPL is going to change the size of the pool.
Again, I don't doubt your experiences, and even if we get 100 people saying this worked for them I would like to understand why this would possibly work.
Any actual developers have any input? (please, my amateurish suppositions are enough guesswork, if you don't have educated answers there isn't need to postulate).

Can you upload the 6.1 spl here and this should work on an MDa Vario III right?

Don't really know much about all of the techie stuff but I have also found that by reducing the cache sizes to "advised" and the PP to 16MB I do not experience any freezes. I have been running Dutty's test and also tried it with both L26 Roms and it works every time.

Just flashed the official new rom om my brand new phone and I´m not having any freezing issues. The phone was not hardspl as it was new out of the box.

I´m not into the workings of the device and not a hacker/programmer of any kind but what comes to mind is that if there is some incompability with the bootloader and the OS and the bootloader loads the OS the wrong way it seems natural to me that you will get errors that may result in strange behaviours of the OS. It may not be a large error and therefore the OS loads but with faults resultning in "bugs".
or its simply a bad rom. I will refrain from going to hardspl and testdrive the rom for a few weeks and se if I can come up with som errors.

can someone maybe upload german fixed version? thank you!

16 mb page pool really helps!
Very easy to do just using xda page pool patcher.
Do not forget to click "Save" button and then "Analyse" again to confirm .nbh file was updated successfully.

n00b question:
What is a nbh and pagepool? Will this affect the performance? I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

I don't post a lot, and I do not know the technical ins and outs of the SPL, but here is a theory. While browsing one of the threads regarding the video acceleration drivers, someone mentioned that the SPL could have something to do with initiating video acceleration. If this official release was supposed to have any sort of graphics fix, maybe something exists in the SPL of the official release that doesn't exist in HardSPL, and that is the reason we are experiencing the freezes. Just a thought.

I only changed pagepool to 16MB. Did not touch SPL (I think I'm using hardSPL).

Follow up: still no hang/freeze.
To sum up:
after flashing some 6.1 cooked builds around here, i noticed the device would stop responding, i tried two of Dutty's, one Vista, the Diamond V1, maybe some other too. They all had this issue, so i just waited for the official one, hoping that the freezes would be gone. They weren't.
So here's how i fixed it:
I flashed back the original 6.0 official ROM and saw there were no hangs / freezes. So the HW was ok.
After that i flashed the official wm 6.1 from HTC. Then i followed the "Idiot steps" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568) without any shortcuts (first 14 steps, i skipped step 15 ) and used the 6.1 ROM, not the 6.0 ROM to obtain the nbh file. Flashed the official SPL and hard reset.
All is well now (except i have to remove HTC Home and soft reset to use iGo).
No freezes for a day.

This supports my theory that 6.1 needs another SPL, probably not compatible with the old HardSPL

6.5 ROMS expire???

Someone please confirm what I read on another thread -- that ROMs based on the current 6.5 will expire, forcing you to reflash.
If this is true, please update the Wiki so that 6.5 flashers will be aware of this.
/as for me, I'm sticking with 6.1 untill 6.5 is officially released...
EDIT: I should say that if someone will confirm this _I_ will put this in the Wiki, unless someone beats me to it....

But most are not. Just assume that your 6.5 beta rom is time bombed, back up everyday, and reflash when the time comes.
Or just keep upgrading your rom with new builds so that the time bomb never kicks in.

true don't know which kitchens are being used on what rom, but tpc has the "official" 6.5 rom dump from the topaz and just released his rom off of it so timb bomb should be gone in that one.

LOL, ROMs are kept on a phone long enough to find out that it's time bombed? I thought they all had a 1 week expiration date

Nah -- I wanted Kaiser folks to confirm since I have a Kaiser and I want to update the Kaiser Wiki.
But thanks for the info that some ROMs have defeated the timebomb.

My ROM does not boot! By reading this.. i can only supose the bomb 'exploded'
Does anyone knows how to change the date in BOOTLOADER mode.. or any other mode that does not require to load the ROM? Just wanted to boot to backup the sms and etc...
Also i can't connect the pocket to the PC via cable.. problems with my miniUSB connection!
So my only chance is really to change the date in the pocket.. before loading ROM!
Any ideas people?
Cumps,

actually, most if not all should be gone. Since I'd imagine most of the chefs on here (including myself ) use ports from other chefs (like twopumpchump, joshkoss, and anryl) because it saves on time, if the build has it removed, so do the countless ROMs that are based off them.

what screen does it stop on? also, you built the ROM yourself?

In my experience, only old builds do that, the one i tried, first joshkoss Roms, with the line "internal use only" was timebombed, it was the 21189 build. Right now i have PDA corners X2V2 Rom, and has no issues, i have it since May i think.
Good luck with your ROMs!

that's very odd. Usually something like that happens with a bad XIP . I assure you that it's not a timebomb tho

hMm.. not timebomb? but is there anyway of retrieving the lost data (sms, etc..?) or i can just flash another rom 'cause its lost?
I have flash that rom 9 days ago... i thought it was the timebomb 'cause since 3 days ago.. today was my first reboot.. (time 01-july-09 passed.. so on the first reboot.. the rom doesn't load.. this was what passed thru my mind)
Anyway.. last thing i used was Android.. booted normally.. and then shut down normally.. when trying to boot windows it got stuck!

I had that happen to me too... What you will need to do is flash a stock ROM, hard rest, then flash hard spl 3.34, then your radio of choice, then finally flash V6(it is awesome!)...
Some others have had this happen to them as well... not sure what causes it, seems to be something with conflicting info left over from the previous flashed ROM and has something to do the the super RAM hack... not sure, I just know the solution.
And there is no way to back up your info without being able to boot.

errmmm... forgot to tell... haven't installed any aplication on the ROM since flash besides Resco Explorer & Kaisertweak & TOMTOM (but.. no way it had something to do with it)

Not 100% needed, but you do need to reflash your hard spl, so might as well flash the version that works best with the ROM... FYI, your SPL should match the ROM version... TPC uses HTC ROM version 3.34, so Hard SPL is the proper one to use for best performance.

I can't believe the number of people that haven't read to flash a stock ROM first. Man!
