Well i've installed wpbear's wm6 rom package last week, with the LSVW wm 6 rom and the 1.34 radio, but i wanted to go back to WM5 so i extracted the OS from the cingular rom and installed it.
Everything went ok and the phone works ok, but i have to skip the extended rom install, because it first installes the old extended rom (i dont know if its still there from the factory or if its there from the LSVW rom) anyway when i mount and unlock my extended rom i can browse and edit it, but i only see the 'new' extended rom.. anyone else experienced this an know how i can remove the 'old' extended rom?
thanks alot
btw i read alot of wiki and did alot of searching but i could not find a problem similar to the one i have..

Hi,
I posted a query on here a while ago re the above.
I have since downgraded back to 1.72 but the bluetooth is that awful I have gone up to 2.02 again.
I have downloaded the HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR file and unzipped it but how does this become the extended rom?
I have read the thread suggested by "edsub" and tried to upgrade with a MS_.NBF from the 1.72 package but I am still showing no extended rom.
I also took TPDisable out of the config.txt but my Himalaya still locked and needed to be reset.
Is this the reason as I guess the extended rom applications do not get chance to load?
Lastly I have never been able to get a bluetooth microphone to work with this firmware!Any Ideas?
Cheers
did you unlock the ExRom before trying to install a new one. There is a good util found on the forums that unlocks the ExRom and unhides it, maybe thats what you need to do first
Which ROM is stable, faster and best?
WWE AKU3.3 Test ROM 2.05.255.1 radio 1.34.00.10_108
or
Cingular Rom 2.06.502.3
Yout Opinion, which to install?
I guess it is subjective.
For me, best means finding the right balance of stability and speed.
I tried both cingular and TEST roms and I have stuck with the test ROM. Reason: I dont see any difference in performance gain with the cingular ROM after installing my apps and today plugins. In addition, I havent had any issues as mentioned in regards to the cingular ROM. Thirdly, the TEST rom isnt bloated with operator-ware, so the TEST rom is compact and neat.
No crashes so far on TEST rom, the device is more responsive, I have no complaints, well maybe 1 complaint - no WPA2 yet (same as cingular ROM).
I have installed the 2.05 TEST ROM on a JasJam + Radio 1.27. I left the imate Extended ROM (which incidentally will not auto install when hard reset) for the time being and I will edit it later.
Phone froze when rebooting after installing MS VC 1.6 once, but having rebooted again I do not have any issue, I was unable to reproduce the issue.
It has been three days now and I am satisfied with the improved speed and functionality!!
Simple.
I'm using the cingular 2.06 and its running perfectly fine on my device. No issues, just the usual reg hacks and a couple tweaks to your needs and you'll be good to go. I haven't tried the 2.05 test rom because i'm on cingular and i kinda want the operator-ware that jasjamming mentioned. Although i have editted the ExtRom and gotten rid of 5 cabs which are useless to me (good email, express email, telenav, mobitv, and bbconnect.)
I been trying so many variants of CrossBOW WM6 for my G4 Wizard but sick of it, they never work out. Only successful was the WM5 Wizard love ROM, wut could be the issue?
one of many issues.. it could be.
what kind of issues are you getting? i have no problems with wm6
maybe you're not CID Unlock thats why you cant get any wm6 working on your phone..
be specific..
If your Cid Locked check my thread to unlock it then try some wm6 roms
My phone is not CID-locked because I myself installed "Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2" ROM over the Imate Supplied default ROM. Yesterday, i tried installing "Molski.Biz_AKU3.3_21911_8MB_Crossbow" and you know what happend, only it changed the bootscreen logo and all other ROM was still the same "2.26.10.2".
Wizard Love rom works on cid-locked phones, so this is not an a good rom to indicate whether your phone is cid-locked or not. Given that the same rom remains after various flashes im pretty certain your phone is cid-locked.
Agree With You Slicped
I agree totally with you slicped. I have been trying all versions of "crossbow" and the #1 is Wizard Love. The only issue is the horrible wizard love splash screen.
LMAO.....At the people who dont read tutorials and the thousands of posts with people who has had the same problems but has be able to fix them to find out how they can possibly do the same, but yet just jump to downing every rom out there because they cant seem to get them to work. WOW!

Typical behaviour of a CID-Locked phone Have you payed at imei-check for unlocking CID? No..... CID-locked! You can do two things:
- pay for unlocking
- use shelltool
All u have to do is search around......I've only been on the forum for a couple of days and I've flashed my G4 8125(which is cid-locked) twice already. I have WM6 running fine on my phone, just do a search w/ your specific prob and its almost a lock to find an appropriate thread......also thanks to all the chefs for their great work.
try this and just replace the nk.nbf file in step 3 w/ any cooked rom os u want to use. works like a charm for me...just be patient.

and where do i dl it?
Download the latest ROM straight from HTC
Download the latest and the best ROM at http://www.america.htc.com/support/docs/RUU_STAR100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_CWS_SHIP.exe
so this rom will run install on my cingular 3125 fine? it wont brick it will it? do i need to app unlock the phone?
No harm installing
This is the latest official cingular rom. It shouldn't brick your 3125 and you may not need to application unlock. Since you're getting a new 3125, this rom may be already installed in your device. Please check before you flash.
Since this is an official Cingular ROM, you won't have to app unlock to flash it. However, you should be aware that once you flash it, this ROM will leave your phone app locked (I know my 3125 was not app locked with the original ROM). So after you have flashed, if you want to install unsigned apps (freeware, etc), you can search this forum for a thread that has instructions to app unlock.
I'm very happy with this ROM on my 3125 - it has a very recent version of WM5 (AKU 3.4.2) and has been rock-solid for me. I wish they didn't put in the app lock, but it is easy enough to remove (some reg edits, etc)...
k thanks my 3125 should come in tomorrow... how good is the 3125 at playing video?
Playing XviD videos 320x240, cca 300 kbps, 25 fps in TCPMP is fine. Try it yourself Use PocketDivxEncoder for converting videos.
anyone get PocketDivxEncoder to work with vista it keeps messing up for me tried running it as administrator and it does same thing
I wouldn't recommend the latest Cingular Rom
made a mistake and updated my Cingular 3125 ROM with HTC's newest (since it was recommended..) and had nothing but hell afterwards.. in 2 days got a signal maybe 3 times and only once was I able to make a call at all.
I just added that rom to my 3125 hopefully I don't have the same problems. Im using tmobile so i'll let you know
stay away from the Cingular ROM it bogs down the system

Well, everyone's mileage is gonna vary. But just to add another data point to the mix - this ROM is working fantastic for me (3125 device on at&t network)...
Hi all,
So I installed the Official Sprint ROM issued this month and I have the following problems:
- Battery won't last more than one day
- Phone won't wake up from standby at certain times
- Phone slow after running some applications, including built-in apps like Word, Excel, or IE. Sometimes this result in the phone just simply hanging
In either situation above, except battery issues, a soft-reset is required.
I have tried the following:
- Do a hard reset, try without ANY applications
- Remove HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and SDDAEMON.exe
Anyone have the above three problems? with the new Sprint Official ROM?
I feel like going back to the old Sprint ROM. I have a separate BT GPS, so I don't care about A-GPS functionality as long as my phone is stable.
Why don't you cook a clean rom with the 3.0.1 kitchen and get rid of the sprint rom?
One question - did you let the customizations run after you installed the ROM?
If not, you need to hard reset let the customizations run, hard reset again and then you can bypass the sprint customization.
Otherwise......
......now that you have the new radio installed, I'd recommend trying one of the clean ROM's from either No2Chem (over at PPCGeeks) or DCD's 3.0.1 ROM.
DCD's has a "Touch" look to the skins and has over 24MB of RAM free on first boot.
All you'd need to do is run the 2.40 Olipro SPL unlocker and then flash DCD's 3.0.1 ROM.
Much more stable than the OEM.

I did on the 1st try, but something gone wrong, most troublesome is that the "Text Message" account now shown in Pocket Outlook. So I hard reset again and let the customizations run.

So you're saying that it's better to use Sprint's official Radio but use DCD's ROM?
What I gather from this forum and PPCGeeks is that people either use Sprint's Official Radio and ROM or just forego that and use kitchen's ROM completely, but not a combination of both as mentioned above.
[EDITED]
OK, so I got Olipro and DCD 3.01 Kitchen. Just so I am doing the right thing since I have ALREADY installed Sprint Official Rom with Radio v. 3.35.05, please let me know if this step is correct:
1) Connect to ActiveSync. Sync as usual
2) Run Olipro v. 2.40. This will open a Command Prompt. Let it do it's thing.
3) Once done, load DC 3.01 Kitchen ROM. No other Radio ROM needed.
4). Done.
Am I correct?
There is no radio with the kitchen. The sprint official radio release (3.35.04) is the official radio whether you use the sprint official update rom or a custom rom of your choosing. No other radio works with the newer roms except this radio. That is why if you choose to use a custom rom, you STILL have to flash the sprint update to get the radio, then you flash your custom rom on top of it (with no radio) to get your own rom on there.

I've cleaned that ROM (gutted to the base OS and functions) and have experienced none of those issues and none of those complaints are voiced in the thread using that kitchen.
I do not think that your problems are due to that specific base of Sprint ROM. Possibly some of the apps or simply a bad flash? Did you attempt to remove HTC Guardian or other components from within the active OS or did you extract and build your own ROM from the Sprint?
For severe battery problems there a couple of threads where a few people have experience excessive drains, but that's with the more recent DCD builds.

I already have Radio 3.35.04 when I installed Sprint Official ROM upgrade. That's why I want to confirm that I need to run Opilo 2.40 unlocker and then upgrade to DCD ROM on top of the current Sprint Official ROM.

Yes, I tried it after Hard Reset. I did remove HTC Guardian from the active OS.

You are correct, you can flash any custom ROM on top of Sprint's. DCD's is a good choice.

That is correct.
DCD's ROM doesn't include the Radio, and the new radio version is what unlocks the GPS and EVDO REV A features. The SPL unlocker is what allows you to load ROM's that aren't OEM on your device, and If you aren't familiar with how to build your own ROM using DCD's kitchen (it's pretty easy once you get started), then he has carrier specific ROM's already linked on his most recent release page. The links are just above the images.

Yeah just unlock with olipro 2.4, then you have a choice between dcd (which I personally use) or another clean rom like no2chem's.
same issue as stated in first post
Hey just want to say great site guys! There is no other website that can comes close to the knowledge available here. But in response to the who started this thread the official sprint rom is crap! Once phone goes into standby or "LOCK" 99% of the time "Soft Reset" is required. Ive "Soft Reset" my mogul no B.S. 100 times since I've flashed there ROM. Radio is a great improvement but honestly, they need to hire or pay NOCHEM or DCD for their talents because w/out their ROMS the MOGUL would've ended up on the side of the highway. I agree with the last post. Use the official radio, but don't run yourself through the wringer with the SPRINT ROM. You will rip your hair out!
meek420, again, I've had zero issues of lock-ups using a cleaned out version of the Sprint ROM.
I do not think such problems are endemic to that ROM.
