Hey all,
My wizard is about 1 year old, and I'm getting the need for an upgrade.
I was thinking about trying a WM6 ROM, but can't decide if I should.
My question really are:
1. Is it worth it? Will it feel any different than WM5, other than just new look?
2. What are the chances of bricking the device during the upgrade?
Thanks a lot..

Let me just say that in January I was ready to throw my Wizard (8125) in the trash. I hated the phone as it was the worst purchase I ever made. It was unreliable, dropped calls, and reset for no reason all the time. It became for me just a PDA, and even then one I barely used since it would reset everytime I started to really need it (or so it seemed). My Nokia 6620 was far more reliable and useful than my 8125 ever was (but due to contracts and prices, getting a new replacement wasn't really an option for me, but I did figure out how to SIM unlock my Nokia 6620 so I was looking at going back to it). Since I had decided to go back to the 6620, I remembered hearing about people flashing custom roms on their Wizard devices, and decided to come back to XDA-Dev (I had found it last September but the term "brick" scared me off), and give it a shot. What was the worst that could happen? Brick it? I was ready to trash it anyway so who cared.
I read everything and decided to give the Faria AKU3.3 a try (WM6 was brand new out and I was intemidated by things I was reading). After I successfully CID Unlocked and then flashed the Tmobile 2.26 rom (which I found hilarious on a Cingular device) I then did AKU 3.3. All I can say is, the rest is history. My eyes were opened. Suddenly this phone became what it was supposed to have been when I bought it. It was fast and reliable. All of my issues (resets, hangs, and dropped calls) were all gone!
So at a minimum, CID Unlock (if you ahve a G3) and put a custom WM5 rom on. You will NOT be disappointed...
But then the ROM flashing bug took over and I'm firmly into WM6 now. I don't think I can ever think about going back to WM5. I just like the feel and ease of things in WM6 (but at first some things I did not like so it takes time to get used to some of the changes).
So good luck in what you decide. Most claim after upgrading to mine (or many other of the custom roms here) that their phone has new life and it stalls the need to switch to buying a new device... Yeah, I'll probably move to an 8525 (Hermes) sometime, but right now my little Wizard is my best buddy and as important to me as my work computer. I use it for everything now...

Hmmm... this is a good piece of history. Can it go into the ROM flashers anonymous thread? Please...

Long time reader, first time poster =]
Just wondering if i can use the same WM update as everyone else? I paid for a program to unlock my treo 750 to work for T-mobile when i first bought it.
I would like to upgrade to WM 6.0, i have done alot of reading, know how to do it, but not sure if i do upgrade to wm6.0 with the atnt rom, it might 'lock' the phone again.
Can anyone clarify this.
Flash away podna..it won't lock your device.

thanks in advance
This seems to be also my Problem.
The first step (Hard-SPL) flashing works fine, so does the second. But then, after I am told to watch my devices screen, a wierd error message pops up un my PC and I can't do anything.
Does anyone have any Idea whats wrong?
cu
-MM-
(Oh and by the way, this threads topic is really bad! how should anyone find us here if you write nothing other than "Help!" I'd recommend "Cheetah unlocking failed" or something more explicit!)
Possible Solution:
Take a look at this Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1640430&postcount=151
Actually reding other thrads is sometimes a good Idea ;-)... hopfully this will work for me...
I'll wait and check if anyone can guess what's currently on my uni!!!
Hints?? -
- Its really reallyyy fast!!
- Stable as it can ever be!!
- Hasnt crashed since long, and i'm hell confident it wont for quite a long time!

yeah. sounds like an wm5 or something like that.
yep,I think it s WM5 3.3
haha!
Guess what, i sure did go back to wm5 mainly because of phone unreliability!
The interesting find-
The phone crashes up in wm5 too (((
Now, is it the radio rom which is screwed up? What could it be, now i sure am clueless :-?
The problem is - my phone goes to sleep with me at night, I wake up, and my phone doesnt! Only the radio portion is dead, and the rest of the device is usable.
Is there any tool like a "LOW LEVEL FORMAT" on my uni? So that i can wipe out ever resident bit on it to get it to a virgin state?
Hmmm....now this is getting crazy for sure! Guess I'll try changing the radios and see if something works....
San
I have exactly same problem. I think the GSM radio is bust... I ordered new mother board after many attempts at flashing, repairing...
Will report when I get it,

Hi San,
1. Out of curiosity, what Radio version are you using with wm5?
2. Is it the same Radio version provided by the seller of your Universal brand?
3. If not, than can you flash the original Radio version version provided by the seller of your Universal brand and see the difference then?
KOR!
Hey!
I made no changes, continued running in 1.17 radio.....and hasnt crashed as yet The same config crashed last morning, and hasnt crashed since then....it looks very stable so far, no soft resets at all :-/
I hate wm5 for many many reasons, i'm thissss close to jumping back...
I miss the phone app of wm6, miss the keyboard shortcuts all over (messaging app mainly!) and quick searching feature. I'll try cooking a custom wm5 rom with wm6's phone and messaging app when i have some time, if that works, then that would be just perfect!
@KOR
Its 1.17 radio....looks like its working fine now! will wait a while longer and post in....looks like wm5 is no doubt much more stable when compared to wm6
San
Hey guys...
Giving it a go - merging wm6 features with a wm5 rom! Lets see how that goes, i hope i dont end up bricking my device
Cheers,
San
Disappointment
It throws "cprog.exe is not a valid Pocket PC Application" and the phone module does not power up at all :-/
Looks like wm6's phone app is not designed to run on wm5. Can someone else with more experience give a shot at this?
Cheers,
San

hi, for my case, i have based the last official xv6700 rom aku v3.3, it is wm5, and i downloaded Microsoft Device Emulator wm6. my idea is wm6 os, with official wm5 hardware driver. put wm6 os to replace wm5 os in the aku v3.3 rom.
i still have not to start move any files. because i don't know what is files need to moves.
regards.
Guys,
I had a screen fault and sent my Kaiser away and the repair centre have flashed it with what appears to be an official T-Mobile UK 6.1 ROM (it's showing as CE OS 5.2.19212 Build 19212.1.0.3).
Is this any use to anyone before I put something else on the phone?
As an aside, I made a hash of restoring the phone back to factory for the repair and sent it with a custom splash screen and HardSPL installed and they still repaired it.
Mindful of the custom splash I did make a point of fully charging the battery and sending it switched on, so I dunno if they noticed or not but either way it seems to be working now
are you able to export it ?
what hardware are you using ?
As it happens the fault has reoccurred.
I'm absolutely raging with them so it's going back to the store again tomorrow.
When I get it back (again) then yes, i'll gladly export it if someone can provide some hints or a link to a decent guide.
Never mind a custom splash screen - from my experience of T-Mobile, they probably wouldn't have noticed if you'd sent them a cucumber in the Vario box. They would probably have tried to re-flash the ROM onto that...
There are threads on ROM dumping, although I don't know anything about it myself.
I would be very grateful for a copy of this ROM.
Good luck
Thats a shame I have been hoping to get the 6.1 update!
Just received a replacement Vario 3 and it has Windows 6.1 !! and radio 1.70.18.02 but unit keeps rebooting when putting the pin in.
just removed pin and now working!
Anychance of a ROM Dump? Software version?
SPL details?
Cheers
If anyone's still interested in this, I also received a replacement with this on, and have attempted a reconstruction:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=99MBNM1T
Not sure if it'll work, as had some issues when reconstructing, but I don't want to try it as I can't get the rom again anywhere else currently.
Let me know if anyone has any luck. There's no radio cooked in - it came with 1.70.18.02.
Monkey0 has successfully reconstructed this rom over in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421896
So if you want the official T-mobile WM 6.1rom for Kaiser, you can have it!
