[ASK] Upgrade to WM6..Help me...!!!

Hi all I'm still newbie in this forum.
I have a MDA Vario T-Mobile I bought it from my friend (2nd hand), now its used a iMate ROM. I don't know which ROM that he used to upgrade the PDA.
I want to ask can I upgrade my MDA to WM6? When I resest my MDA it displayed:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.06
GSM 01.01.10
OS 1.1.9.3
What should I prepared to upgrade my MDA to WM6? Thanks before.
Regards

Dari mana?
From the looks of your IPL and SPL, seems to be a G3... so not a problem...
from wiki
A G3 Wizard will have the following
IPL: 1.xx or 2.xx or 2.xx.00x (Note that this version only has TWO 0's.).
SPL: 1.xx or 2.xx or 2.xx.00x (Note that this version only has TWO 0's.)
A G4 Wizard will have the following
IPL: 2.xx.000x (Note that this version has THREE 0's.)
SPL: 2.xx.000x (Note that this version has THREE 0's.)

So what (file) should I prepared to upgarde my ROM to WM6?
Oh I forget I have another problem. Why my MDA when sync with my PC sometimes disconnect by itself, now it's more worst I can't sync my MDA to my PC. I used Active Sync 4.0 Windows 2000 SP4.
HELP....SOS....

macam ni, susah sikit.. (dari Malaysia)
I don't know but after reading so many brick units, maybe it is better you do a hard reset and see if it solves your Active Sync connection problems before attempting an upgrade..

My MDA now can connect.
@new2city
If I want to upgrade to WM6 what should I prepared? How I can know my MDA wa CID unlocked? I read on Faria WM6 thread we must have 2xxx bootloader version. I don't know how we can know our bootloader version? And the last question I want to know how to hard reset my MDA?
Thanks

you have to upgrade using that 2.26 rom!!! If you dont BEWARE the Devil will come for you
Ya you have to or you could just brick your phone! You have to have IPL/SPL above 2.00. The rom 2.26 as above will give you IPL/SPL 2.26.
And before you try to flash make sure you have read all you can, cus it does not always go right first time and you need to know what to do if you have a problem.
If you start flashing and it reset. Dont think it is dead try below
Hold the button voice button and press the reset button, when it sorts its self out you should have a screen with 3 colors. Connect your USB and flash away but use a non cooked rom. Flash T-mobile 2.26 again
I once had to re-flash my phone 6 times before I was happy! Then found out that i could have sored the problem by using a reg key!! LOL oh well!

I have already SPL 1.06 and IPL 1.01 can I directly unlock my MDA using lokiwiz? No need to downgrade to button ROM.
Thanks to the answer this forum rocks....

If you are still on IPL/SPL 1.XX
you should be able to unlock it with the lokiwiz software.
enjoy

Thanks guys now I'm on Faria ROM real thing but I'm still confused about my MDA why everytime I want to sync I must replace the USB cable more than two times to get syncronize with my PC. Some times it disconnect by it self, than I must reconnect again. Anyone know what happen to my MDA?

I have SPL 2.21 and can't flash to WM6

Hello everyone,
I'm totally lost in this WM6 upgrade.
I've tried everything but i wont get my MDA Vario to flash with WM6.
My MDA Vario is unlocked (sim and CID) but i can't flash it because of my SPL 2.21????
This is what i have done:
installed button's 1.05 ROM
Download & installed lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b.
But stil my SPL is at 2.21.
Can someone please help me out here??
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Schmia

Both your IPL and your SPL must be 2.xx and higher. After you flashed to Buttons rom. did you reflash to a higher version after after you unlocked and cid unlocked your phone to make sure both IPL and SPL were 2.xx or higher?

I've followed the tutorial:
16. Watch the rebooting of your PDA, if BOTH IPL and SPL are 1.xx then great. Quite probably your IPL will be 1.xx and your SPL will be 2.xx. Rerun the button 1.05 ROM downgrade a second time and it will become 1.x on both IPL and SPL. You don't need to redo the unlocking.
17. My suggestion, take for what it's worth, is to download and install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM
This will give you a strong 2.26 IPL and SPL to work with.
My IPL was 1.XX after the 1.05 downgrade, but my SPL was still 2.21 even after the rerun.
I have tried to instal T-Mobile 2.26 rom, but it gave an error.

check if you have G3 or G4 unit

I have a 3G device.

Is there nobody who can help me???

I think that you haven't unlocked the phone properly. Read Dr. P's tutorial about unlocking G3 phones.

if your ipl is 1.05 and your spl is still 2.21...then you need to reflash again so that both ipl and spl are 1.05 before you can proceed. ipl and spl should never be different.

WHen you downgrade to the Button rom, in most cases the IPL will change, but the SPL will not. You then have to downgrade again to get the SPL to get to 1.xx . There have been some cases reported where it takes reflahsing the button rom many times (like 8 times or somesuch) before the SPL will finally come down, but you have to complete this step or you will not be CID Unlocked.
Make sure you have your SD card out when you are flashing as this can cause problems.
Good luck, and sorry, but for those that have run into the stuck SPL there hasn't been a real solution other than keep flashing the button rom until it drops down to 1.xx. After that then the CID unlock will be complete and you can then flash the T-Mobile 2.26 rom (or whatever other 2.xx rom you want).

This should be added to the tutorials about Unlocking & Rom Upgrading.
And this quote also.
"if your ipl is 1.05 and your spl is still 2.21...then you need to reflash again so that both ipl and spl are 1.05 before you can proceed. ipl and spl should never be different."

The Dr. P tutorial specifically says this (just not in those words). It tells you (after the last lokiwiz) to watch your screen and that you most likely will still have an SPL of 2.xx and will need to reflash (most people just don't read this and try to move on). The part of about having to reflash numerous times is new though. I've only heard of it a few times, but if you look at the posts from a month or so agao in the Dr P thread on unlocking you'll see where a few people ran into it and it took numerous flashes to finally get SPL to go to 1.xx.

before wm6 roms, every time there was a new rom for wm5 (molski or faria) you'd always get people in the thread mentioning that their ipl and spl are different. in those threads, the advice has always been to reflash a few extra times too. (I personally haven't had any problems with this...but i think i started my unlocking on a 1.8 us t-mobile rom with xelencin's rom...which had an unlocker built into the rom update package).
anyway, the phone's not bricked or anything, so you just have to keep flashing to get it working...
xelencin's rom (the first rom I ever flashed...)

I've re-flashed 3 times but if i understand correct, than i have to retry flashing until SPL and IPL are the same?

yes. ipl and spl should both drop to 1.05. at that point you can go through the unlock and flash back up.

Thanks Guys!!!
With all your good advise, i finally have my MDA Vario flashed with a WM6 rom (TNT 2.0 Professional)
I'm really greatfull to you!
Now i have to find out what WM6 rom is the best for me.

Problem With UPGRADE WM 6

I'm triying to make UPGRADE with differents ROM but when the process finish i stell having the same OS WM5 from Tmobile, i did downgrade with botton downgrade rom i used LOKIWIZZ but ever happen the same, what i doing wrong?
ISPL 3.08
SPL 3.08

You should be more detailed in explaining things.
First Try to tell us step by step what errors are you getting.
On the signature you say ipl/spl 3.08 (it should mean you're cid unlocked).
So please describe the update rom process better

OK First I had IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26 with TMOBILE wizard ROM I tryed to update to to WM6 HTC Professional + Home, everything in the process look in order, pass to 99 % in the Progress BAR and wait several minutes and i get again the tmobile ROM the same one, so read several post and I dicide to downgrade with Wizard Button ROM, and it was succesefully, I was in that moment ipl 1.05 something else and SPL 2.26, so I used, so I upgrade to the TMOBILE wizard ROM, and I get IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26 and I'm tryed again to made a new UPGRade with the same ROM WM6 HTC Professional + Home and it was the same results again, so I made the UPGRADE with the IPS_SPL 3.08 File and now I m in this point now. So what i must do?

Downgrade IPL and SPL does not mean you have CID unlocked your phone. You need to use lokwiz02 to unlocked it when IPL is 1.01. Then first upgrade IPL to 2.2x / 3.08, after that you can proceed to upgrade WM6.
All instructions and links are in stickes.

problem upgrading kjam to wm6

hello all and thanks for the help
i have a g3 kjam after flowing the 3 steps

2.cid unlock
3.installing the rom that changes ipl/spl tp 3.08
any rom that i try to install finshes 100% succsesful
but still boot a wm5 rom with a new icon when starts
any help will be great
thanks

I thought you need a solid 2.xx rom to flash a new rom ??
Personally, I went from button 1.05 rom to TMobile 2.26 rom to new WM6 rom.
I flashed 3.08 later - as is does not change the O/S - only IPL/SPL. Did not find any benefit to it, so went back down to 2.26
Please note that there are freezing issues if you flash down from 3.08 to 1.05. Apparently the spl can freeze if you do this - and that is a problem. So, to play it safe - do not do that - thanks.
It is always recommended that you flash a solid 2.xx rom such as the TMobile one when going between the different WM6 roms available here - you may want to try that - go down to 2.xx, then upgrade to WM6

thats very good to know i'm actualy in a freeze spl is on 3.08
any idea hwo to downgrade?

I've attached a link to another thread about the freezing issue. Unfortunately, it does not give the answer as to how to fix it. But - should no one else answer on this - I would recommend that you send a private message to senior user "mestrini", and hopefully he can walk you through it.

I got my info from him as per the attached post. I do not have enough experience as to why it freezes - or how to fix it.
Good luck

Well,after downgrading to 1.xx and CID unlocking,its essential to upgrade to ipl/spl 2.xx for upgrade to wm6,its highly recommended to upgrade to 2.xx by flashing the T-mobile 2.26 for a solid base,but,however, you can still even upgrade to wm6 with ipl/spl 3.08.Wm6 works on 2.xx and 3.xx.
DGman
I believe your phone is still CID locked,you didn't do the CID unlock method correctly,but you upgraded to ipl/spl 3.08,now you can only CID unlock your phone by downgrading to 1.xx. Yes! SPL freezes if you downgrade to 1.xx from 3.08.So always first downgrade to 2.xx and then to 1.xx.Now I'll advise you to upgrade to IPL/SPL 3.08 again and then try to downgrade to 2.xx by flashing the T-mobile or Wizard_love Rom or official stock Rom of your carrier if other then T-mobile.If succeed to downgrade to 2.xx,only then flash Button's Rom 1.05 to get to 1.xx and apply the lokiwiz02b to CID unlock the phone.After that upgrade to 2.xx by flashing T-mobile 2.26 and upgrade to any wm6 Rom.
Cheers!

thanks for tring but device doesn't let me downgrade to 2.26 or any other 2.xx ipl/spl only stright down to 1.xx and like you said spl freeze on 3.08
when i tried wizard love it did the rom flash but still ipl/spl 3.08
i'll try to find my 2.xx official rom

I have a Problem

Hello, My English is not please not bad so well thus its. I am quite again and have several questions. Which is IPL and SPL on the boat screen on my MDA Vario? I wanted it gladly bottles however it went not as I wanted. My Bootscreem data is:
IPL 1.01
SPL 3.08
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2

If you have downgraded by flashing Button's Rom 1.05 for CID unlocking,then reflash the button's rom once more to get SPL 1.xx also and use lokiwiz02 tool to CID unlock,otherwise download WST_4.2.2 from the below link and run it to CID unlock the phone,after that upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx by flashing T-Mobile 2.26 or any AKU 2 official rom and than you can upgrade to any wm6.1 latest roms.
WST_4.2.2 :-
