WM 6 on MDA

Hello, I really would like to know about this, I have a T-Mobile MDA (USA) running WM 5 version 2.26.10.2 WWE. I downloaded this from the T-Mobile website and updated my phone. I would like WM 6 on my MDA but i have no clue on how to do it. So if someone could please help me to do that i would really appreciate it. Also i would like to know some of the advantages and disadvantages (if any) of upgrading to WM 6. I'm a complete noob to any of this so any help is appreciated.

Start reading the forums. Everything you need is found here. Best bet is to take time and read the stickies at the top of this forum and the Wizard Upgrading forum. Those will tell you the step by step instructions on doing all of this. But understand, this isn't just a simple application install, but an OS Install (and not one supported by your provider). So for most roms you will have to figure out how to setup GPRS and MMS to get them to work. So don't rush into this, but spend some time reading and learning (or you may wind up with a dead phone).
A really good post with tons of pointers to stuff is:

Hats off to Carlosdude1991 for putting that together.

Thanks for the quick response, ive been reading up a little and so far it seems like the WM 6 Roms run faster than the originals, i have also learned that i have a G3 Device. Anyway im going to unlock my device and install WM 6 but i dont really know which ROM to get. Which is the best WM 6 ROM?

Ok, then start here and follow everything without skipping steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
As for WM6, you'll have to decide what you really want. If you want a fully loaded rom, then try Faria's "the real thing". For a "clean" rom try NotTooSmart or Xplore 1.1. Also Zoki's NBD is getting good reviews (I haven't tried it).
The beta of Faria's Vanilla is going VERY well and will be a great rom when its released (watch for it soon).
Good luck and have fun.

I have another question though before i do that, after i get WM6 will everything work again like it used to, like phone, text and sms, camera, programs etc.?

yes they will, you will have to enter in the correct settings for T-mobile mms

I think this is my last question (actually last 2), On the guide it says to downgrade to T-Mobile 2.26 ROM, what does it mean by that, does it mean that I should install buttons 1.05 ROM and do the whole process and then install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM which is the one I'm running right now? and wouldnt that re-lock my phone? and my second question is about how long would it take to go from an official T-mobile 2.26.10.2 ROM, Locked phone. to a WM6 unlocked everything working phone?
BTW thanks for all the quick responses and help.

Go to that thread and follow those directions. You have to use the lokiwiz to cid unlock your rom before you can add custom roms. Cid unlocking voids your warranty btw. That form is straight forward and works like a charm just do exactly what it says word for word.

I read it through a couple of times now, but i just don't get the part at the end where it says install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM. I have that right now and wouldnt that just re-lock the phone? Also how do i Downgrade to the Button 1.05 ROM?

Alright, I understand where your coming from, I was in your shoes. lokiwiz will not work with 2.26. Therefore you have to downgrade your rom to 1.05( I used 1.8 because I couldnt find 1.5 and it still worked) Once you downgrade your rom then you can use lokiwiz to Cid unlock your phone. adding 2.26 after your cid unlock your phone will not lock it again given that you did everything correctly. 2.26 is a solid and steady base rom to use that doesnt have any bugs or anything. once this is all done you can put a wm6 rom on your wizard.

o ok i see, so i can download and install the 2.26 ROM from the T-Mobile USA website and it wont relock my phone, right? also "(i used 1.8 because i couldnt find 1.5 and it still worked)" you mean 1.05 right?

All this is correct, but let me stress... You have to get both IPL and SPL down to 1.xx or when you go back to 2.xx you may find your device isn't really CID Unlocked... So follow that thread. It tells you to do the button downgrade, then do lokiwiz, then you have to downgrade again if your SPL still hasn't changed. Once you get both to 1.xx, THEN you can go back to an official 2.xx rom (TMo 2.26 is the suggested one). THen as long as you stay on 2.xx and above, you will not have to the the 1.xx downgrade ever again. You will remain CID Unlocked during all your flashing adventures.

Thx for covering that.. I forgot about that one.. .. as for using 1.05 when i tried to click the link, I had trouble and had to search for a different 1.rom. checked the link today and it works again.. Would have saved some time and stress. lol

I have a question, when i reach the part right after downgrading to 1.05 ROM and i click enablerapi do i install it to anywhere or just click it then run the lokiwiz.bat on the computer?

Install to the C Drive I believe

Are you following this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
It tells you there in the steps on where things go... Basically the enablerapi can be anyplace on your phone, just get it over there and run it. But Lokiwiz needs to be on the C:\ drive of your PC to work properly I believe

alright i have succesfully installed WM6 " the real thing" but now i cant make any SMS messages? how can i fix this, i know you have to change the address or something but i have no clue where to go so i can do that. Also is there a way to get free internet from T-Mobile USA? I also have another quesiton, how come sometimes in the little icon next to the signal icon, its G and other times its E? does it make a difference?

You can't do SMS and MMS because you haven't set that stuff up yet apparently. EIther go to the T-Mo site and find the settings to plug into your phone, or search around here for the cabs for T-Mobile (I'm on Cingular so I don't have the T-Mo cabs to post)
G is straight GPRS. E is Edge (faster). I think the default TMo and Cingular stock roms turn this off from switching (so they always just show E). So now you are seeing when you are connected to the better net (but a lot of people don't care for that. again there is a cab around to turn that off)
Congrats on upgrading successfully.

Orange SPV C600 Application Unlock

Hi Peeps,
I have been researching many websites without any luck. I am new to Windows Mobile devices and looking for some assistance in Application Unlocking the C600/Tornado.
I have seen some posts about flashing it with the Imate ROM. The phone itself is sim unlocked however I am trying to install some third party applications and it is stating I don't have enough permissions.
I have tried various Registry editors but they won't install.
Can anyone help?
Edit:
I have tried using the HTC Unlocker. It states unable to open regedit.exe. I have also tried SDA_Applicationunlock.exe I get the message "Phone is not unlockable".
This is driving me crazy, can anyone help.
Cheers

unlocking spv c600
Hey guys
I have followed the above steps to unlock my phone, and I'm still gettting an "Invalid Sim card" error.
I have tried just about every unlocking app or method there is, and still no luck. I have a new SPV C600 which I got on an Orange contract about a year ago. And it's security locked so I can't edit the registry, and I can't install any certificates either.
And though I tried the 1, 2, 3 step method above, and tho it told me it was successfull on all 3 steps, my O2 sim card still doesn't work.
Waahhaaaa....
help please

plzzzzzz help me with my spv c600
GUYz MY PROBLEM IS HUGE. I AM STUCKED ON A THREE COLOUR SCREEN ON MY SPV C600 CEEL WHILE I WAS TRYING TO UPGRADE IT. THE ONLY ROM THAT SEEMS TO WORK , ONLY STOP AT 2% (WM5) DURING THE PROCESS. WAT SHLD I DO. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS FOR ABOUT 2WEEKS. PLZZZZZZ HEP [email protected] IS MA EMAIL

Seems like the same story over and over again... sigh.
You first must get access to the old OS again. As you have not succeeded in doing any upgrade yet, the old OS should still be there. Do a hard-reset:
1.) switch off
2.) press l+r softkey + keep pressed until a next step tells to release them
3.) switch on device
4.) wait for white screen with advice on hard-reset, release L+R softkeys
5.) press key for hard-reset (should be 0)
Device reboots to old OS.
When old OS is up you MUST(!) application unlock the device before you can do anything else. The Orange devices are especially resistant to allow this crucial first step. I have no such device, but key to success is that SDA Application unlock tells that your device is successfully unlocked.
Look for C600 Unlock to find dedicated instructions.
Mind that after the application Unlock you need also the CID Unlock and (if SIM locked) also the SIM Unlock. All is possible for free, so no need to spend money for that.

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?

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.​

First Rom Upgrade

hi guyz
am going to upgrade my XDA-Exec (Universal) G4 for the first time. its currently running WM5 from O2 but i am going to use it with another Service Provider.
now want to make sure of couple of things.
first... is there any HardSPL type of programe for Universal so that atleast i dont endup bricking the phone ?
second what exactly does the CID/EROM locks are for or SIM lock. I can use my other companies SIM in this phone so do i still need to do it ?
third how safe is the ROM updating without anything like HardSPL....?
reason why iam asking this is because its my friends phone and dont wanna brick it and second i have upgraded my HERM but have not done a Universal WM5 to 6 or 6.1 upgrade

Welcome.
No Their Is No HardSPL For Universal.
IMHO CID Unlocking Should Be Done As Various Bootloader Commands For Recovering The Device Will Only Work On A CID Unlocked Device. (I Think!)
Rom Upgrading Is Relatively Safe. Jus Make Sure The Battery Is Fully Charged.
Read The WIKI For More Information.
I Hope All Goes Smoothly For You.
P.S I Highly Reccomend Tomal's 8.0 Rom!
Regards,
OllieD

aaaa what is IMHO CID ? and how do i unlock it ?

Tis In The Wiki...
This Link Should Help You Out...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Simlock_by_Buzz_and_team
This Tool Is For Sim Unlocking The Device But Also Makes The Device SUPERCID (SUPERCID Unlocks All Bootloader Commands)
Regards,
OllieD

STUCKK .... Yikeeesss
guyz ..
i got the ROM updated last night and was using when i finally thought of using another ROM... while upgrading the other rom it just gave and error message on the PC and the phone was on the page where it ask you to press 0 for default ... so i did that and the phone restarted but now its stuck on the Splash Screen (the O2 operator starting screen) ...
if i connect the phone to the PC it will not recognize the phone as its totally stuck on the Splash screen ... if i try to goto the bootloader screen it gives me the same message of either Pressing X or 0 ... also the USB is not recognizing it ..
what to do .????

Please help with Treo 750 Unlock!!!

Hi,
i have Treo 750 want to unlock!!
IPL:0.20
SPL: 0.24.0000'
i try with Cheeta unlocker and MAGIC Unlocker, both not work.
it this because of the new SPL0.24??
can anyone give me instruction how to please!!
thanks

i had same problems with my treo. first like oli says in his first post about hard spl make sure you have net compact framework 2.0 on your computer. what worked for me was in your c drive there is a folder called tempche. delete that file then run unlocker again. i only did first step on my treo just so it would be hard spl'd. never did step 2 and so on cause i didnt feel a need too.

thanks man, just delate the tempche folder then everyhting run smoothly.
cheers

Good for you!
Hi:
Where do you find the SPL and IPL information?
And can you tell me what SPL actually is?
Thanks!

spl
im not sure about what spl means but i do know that you need to have it done in order to install a cooked rom. it basically unlocks your phone so you can flash different roms that the chefs cook. there really isnt to many people cooking roms for the treo. theres only about 3 or 4. i think everybody got different phones so thats why your not getting responded too very quickly. i too have a tilt and a treo and i like to bounce back and forth between phones. i have the wm 6.1 lite rom on my treo. if your looking at just upgrading from wm 5 to wm 6 you dont need to do a hard spl. stock roms allow you to flash without unlocking your phone. im not a computer genious here but i will try and assist you however i can. ive been in your shoes before trying to figure all this stuff out.

i forgot to answer your question about where to find the spl. it shows up in your bootloader screen. you can see it by pressing down the lower left side button and pushing soft reset which is located on the other side where you put your mini sd in. there is a small whole that you use your stylus to push in. you can just soft reset again to get out of the bootloader screen.

helpeee
i used cheeter unlocker. I
did step one and two
successfully. But at the end i get
the debug error which some
people got. So i copied htc herm
unlock v3 to the phone. I ran it
from phone and selected sim
unlock and it was succesfull. But
when i turn on radio, i get "you
have tried 5 times, wait for time
out ****".
Please anyone, what am i doing
wrong, or what should i do to
unlock my machine?? It has wm6
from at&t.
