Is your device a G3 or a G4? Are you CID unlocked? My guess is you are CID locked but we need more info
What are the specifics on your device?
Model, Flash Chip, IPL, SPL, Radio, etc.
Have you CID unlocked the device.
What does Wizard Service Tool report?
How to upgrade, read the 'Xda-Wki',especially this guide :-

G4 device cannot be CID unlocked,but can be upgraded through 'HardSPL' or 'SoftSPL' methods,read about this in the 'G4' forum posted as Stickies.
'wizard_love rom is a patched rom it will flash but its not a wm6 rom.

Hello,
i have just got a MDA with some homebrew rom and would like to update it. Which one is recommended for it? I would like WM6 but am happy with WM5 too. I was reading now for a few hours but i cant really find an answer. I would rather not make one myself.
Is there some ROM which can be easily installed? The MDA shows htc as startscreen if this matters in any way. Thanks
You may want to read the guides about how to unlock first (stickies at the top) and check and confirm with the WST tool whether your MDA is already ready for flashing ..
The installation process is more related to the variant you own (G3 or G4) rather than the different, cooked ROM you may want to flash ... you find the most popular WM6 in the corresponding sub-forum...
Good luck!
after various Roms on my wizard I'm definitely happy with the one that's running ride now on my brick.....it's WM5 but with style.....

Done that as you say above. What is the best, rather than the most popular WM6? Looking for speed, options and reliability. Thanks for your help above.

All new wm6 roms are excellent as regards to speed,performance and stability,you cannot single out any one to be the best. It all depends upon your preferences and choice.every user here has his own opinion,likes and dislikes,the best way is to run a couple of them and check which suites you the best,At the moment TNT Professional + HTC Home,NBD 9.2 are the hottest and most favourits and considered to be very stable and super speed
I have an MDA that's unlocked and I'm running TNT 5.0 1437 touch+flo modified with 10mb page pool, the scrolling gets away from me time to time but i have fat thumbs it's fast and reliable. I'd reccomend it or any TNT 5.0rom especially.
G3 or G4 processor?
I personally run a stripped version of the WWE AKU 3.3 Tmobile Croatia ROM, with the stock Cingular extended ROM, and it works fantastic. I can send you the nk.nbf of the ROM only if you have a G4. You can then flash with shelltool or use olipro's hard SPL. (read the stickies)
If you have a G3, I'd unlock it, and then I'd flash the stock Tmobile AKU 3.3 nk.nbf to get the updated 3.08 ipl/spl. You can then flash the extended ROM from the US AKU 2.3 ROM, and you'll have a stock AKU 3.3 that has all of the connections, ringtones and screens already configured.
I'm not much on custom ROM's anymore as I use my device so much now that I can't afford to be without it. Plus, I don't have the time to cook like I used to

From this report it seems as it is already unlocked as the person from whom you have got the phone was a custom rom Faria OS: 5.1.xxx (Build 15671FARIA.3.5),well custom roms can only be flashed to a unlocked device.to be more confirmed do this:
In WST tool there's a 'CID Action' button,press it and click than whatever report it gives post it here,it'll let you if your device is locked or unlocked,but I believe it's cid unlocked,good luck
That is what i get from WST as CID
Reading CID block...

Any particular WM6 rom recommended? I am happy to read the threads but the problem is that by the time i have read half of everything changes because of newer version and other issues....
So you are CID unlocked (SuperCID) ..
Have a look into the WM6 sub-forum for the ROMs mentioned above:
TNT
NBD
to mention 2 of them ... see also on many signature of the members here ...

Congrats !!!
YUP ! sure it is CID unlocked already (superCID)Your one of the lucky guy,who do not require to go through the process of unlocking,
But I'll recommend first download T-Mobile 2.26 and flash so you have asolid base without any extended rom corruption and choose a custom build rom ,there are so many but the most favorite at present are TNT Professional + HTC Home and NBD 9.2,check out the links :-

Ok, so I'm a noob. I just need some helpful people to point me in the right direction of upgrading my phone. I've tried a couple of times and almost bricked the thing! Ok heres what I need:
1: The best and simplest G4 WM6 Rom for the 8125.
2: How to get around unlocking the thing.
3: And a new brain for myself, if you have one just laying around!
I thought that this might help:

A G4 device cannot be CID unlocked,therefore never try to CID unlock it,you'll brich your phone,however,there's a method for it to upgrade to wm6 called 'SoftSPL',read and fully understand the method in the link below:-

Cool, but what is considered a "G4 Safe" rom?

The Roms which include IPL/SPL are not safe to flash to a G4 device.All the latest custom build wm6 Roms are safe for G4 flashing as they don't include IPL/SPL in them.All the cookers are now very specific about this,not to include IPL/SPL in it,so that it can be upgraded to a G4 device
Hi, just got my wizard the other day (Used off ebay, Unlocked). I've been reading thru all the upgrade posts and I've come up with some questions I'd like to ask before I take the plunge.
First, the info from my wizard.
=====================================
Wizard Service Tool v4.2.1
=> Bootloaders:
IPL: 2.25 (G3 device)
SPL: 2.25 (G3 device)
Built on May 12 2006 at 00:37:41

Radio: 02.25.11
Protocol: 4.1.13.12
=>Extended_ROM:
Version: 2.25.11.102
Name: Extended_ROM
Status: hidden
======================================
1. Since I used WST to get the info, it said the first thing to do was hit the Enab. RAPI + Unsigned Apps button, which I did. Is this the the same as copying the EnableRapi.cab from the lokiwiz instructions?
2. Will the CID unlock in WST work with this phone or did I need to use the lokiwiz method? Minus the SIM unlock since it's already done.
3. I saw a post about formatting the EXT ROM to get rid of the carrier branded stuff, in this case cingular. Can I do this before I do the button rom downgrade/Tmobile 2.26 Rom install? The only reason I want to do this is so the cingular stuff doesn't get put back in whenever I do a hard reset.
4. Last one! I see that the IPL/SPL can be upgrade by itself. Should this be done or just keep whatever comes with the rom you install?
I'am sure most of these have been answered before, but after several days of reading I just wanted to double check and make sure I knew what I was doing.
Thanks......Grinch843........

Yes,you can CID unblock the phone with WST tool but first you'll have to downgrade to IPL/SPL1.xx by flashing the Button's Rom 1.05,It's mandatory to have ipl/spl 1.xx for CID unlocking,However, lokiwiz02b method is more recommended.You shud also check with WST tool by hitting the 'CID Action' button,if it might be CID unlocked already,as its SIM unlocked.
There's no need to formate the EXT Rom,as you'll be flashing Button's and T-mobile,it'll automatically get replaced by the External Roms of these Roms and the cingular External Rom will be replaced.
When you'll flash Button's Rom,it'll replace the IPL/SPL to 1.xx,required for CID unlocking,but when after CID unlocking,you'll flash T-mobile,it'll upgrade to 2.26,which is must for upgrade to wm6 there's no need to upgrade the ipl/spl manually.
All the latest custom build wm6 Roms don't include any IPL/SPL upgrades in them,so the Ipl/SPL will remain as 2.26,There's nothing to worry about,as its the most stable bootloaders (IPL/SPL)
Cheers!
Thanks for info --- Soon as I backup everything I'll give it shot and see what happens.....

I followed the directions to a "T", under this thread :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
(Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies)
And chose this ( WM6.1 For Wizard OS 5.2.19521 buit 19521 WWE) Mobile6 Rom created by AJC2003 for the OS
the upgrade said it was succesfull but when the phone came back on, it still had Windows mobile5 on it.
(I tried at least 3 times)
Any Suggestions??
When my phone starts up it reads:
ipl 3.08
spl 3.08
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
Under device information it reads:
ROM version 1.5.4.2 WWE

Your phone is still CID locked,to upgrade to wm6,you must have a CID unlocked phone.

Lovin this Rom!!
its great so far!!
Hi,
I've tried upgrading my MDA with various ROMs - most of them starts the installer - loads my device in multi-colored screen, shows the progress bar, goes to 100%, restarts the phone and even shows the "Congratulations!" message; but when it loads for the first time - the OS stays the same, just asks to align the screen (endless loop) and acts like the device had just been hard-reset! It doesn't apply any installation changes.
Have you any ideas how to actually upgrade my MDA? I'm kinda confused, because I haven't found any information related to this problem anywhere in the internet.
Here are some details:

What ROM is your phone currently running?also, have you tried flashing back to a stock ROM such as the t-mobile 2.26?
I suppose it's the original one (stock) - version: 2.26.10.2 WWE, date: 6/7/06. And yes - I've tried even the stock version from here - still no changes!
Have you CID unlocked your mda? is it a G3 or G4 model?
you could check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Hope this helps.
Yeah, it is CID unlocked and, as you can see from my previous details - it is a G4 device.
