hi all
i CID-unlocked my tytn with the CID & SIM unlocker from here, which upgraded my radio to 1.16. thing is i get a much better reception now, and i saw that the rom has radio 1.14 with it. so- how is it? any good? and second, can i flash the new rom but keep my current radio? and if so, how?
sorry if it's all newbie questions...i've had quite few ppcs, but this is my first gsm device...
1.18.416 has bootloader 1.06 which doesn't has 'rtask' command needed to upgrade the radio, so you must stay in radio 1.14 if you flash this rom.
I seem to be reading two different accounts whether or not this will install safely on my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286987
I've asked in that thread, but its pretty much dead so I've gotten no response.
In a word NO. The rom structure is such that the bootloader knows its not correct and will not flash the OS part. Only CID unlocked devices will flash it.

im using molskis g4 rom and i had a cid locked g4 tmobile vario.
installed perfectly and have had no issues with it
Im also using Molskis rom, but i flashed with wizard_love first to upgrade the rom to aku2.3 then reflashed using molskis to get all the customisations. You will not get the programs tho on an CID locked G4, as i didnt get them on my CID locked G4 either. Other wise, Molskis build is very stable and quick.
I am currently running the Cingular 2.25.0001 ipl/spl .. is there a better one out there that would be safe to upgrade to on my 8125 G4?
lol.. No one has any suggestions?! lol .. I see a couple people with 2.26 and 3.08 .. just wondering how those would work with my G4
You've got a WHOLE LOT of reading to do if you're thinking about changing your IPL/SPL on a G4 Wizard.
Good Luck!!
that's what I figured.. I wasnt sure if it was safe to do... or easier to do with my CID unlocked..
This thread would be the perfect place to start.
HA! Thanks newbie.. I guess I will be leaving my IPL/SPL alone .. .. Maybe I will wait for cingular to make an update.. lol.
I have :
O2 XDA mini S G4 CID locked
IPL/SPL 3.08.0001;
Radio 2.69.11;
OS 10.2.0.8 WWE mUn_aRTM
Just flash this rom

then you have German OS with IPL/SPL 3.08.0001. Radio 2.69.11
OS can you reflash later.
Question I have is.. What exactly does the IPL/SPL do? lol ..
apparently doesnt let you make calls. every time i try to dial a number, it says your international call cannot be completed as dialed... its useless, i just did it on my g3.

IPL and SPL are your bootloaders.
They initialize and load your OS and radio. different versions have different commands available to them and in some cases a higher number means a better version. In others the higher number means there are security "fixes" that will make it harder for you to flash your phone.
For a Wizard I have seen no reason to update higher than the T-Mobile 2.26. But then again you should only do this if you have a G3. Flashing G3 bootloaders into a G4 device will irrevocably brick it.
I believe (don't quote me on this though) that only official carrier roms (newer than the G4 device) contain both G3 and G4 bootloaders and as such are safe to flash to a G4 device. I would confirm this with your carrier before doing so though.
Hi
this method works perfectly
Now have a G4 CID locked update to IPL/SPL 3.08.0001
Thx
Just flash with Deutsch ROM to update IPL/SPL
& reflash to your favorite ROM

Are you saying you upgraded you G4 CID locked phone using a ROM that isn't from your provider??
Please clarify this matter so that other users don't brick their phones!

Yes I do.
I am a french guy, my provider is Ten Mobile.
I already have brick my Wizard before. Thanks to the guarantee, it was repaired.
Just replace Updater by ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.
2 days of use nothing to announce.

I have a G4 CID locked phone and IPL/SPL thats older than 2.26 and I see no reason to update them still, considering that I can upgrade everything else (OS, radio, ext rom, splash) without touching IPL/SPL. Of course, I am a little more cautious having bricked (yes, real "replacement required" type brick) my phone once.

You flashed your O2 (G4 and CID locked device) with T-Mobiles ROM?! Sounds crazy to me... Are You sure that your device is CID locked at all? Even G4 device may be CID unlocked, using imei-check - only way this thing have some sense...
Can SPL 2.21.0001 downgrade to 1.06 and smaller?

why? even with NoID updater it's not possible to update a locked G4?
Hello,
I've tried to install the latest TNT WM6 Rom without sucess. I managed to install the LOVE ROM after but I really would like to install WM6.
I have a QTEK 9100 CID and SIM unlocked and when I try to install the TNT ROM I get stuck at 99% of procedure and then get ERROR 302. Already tried with TNT ROM 19199 V1 and V2 and in 2 computers and get the same error. I changed the update utility too.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Mauro

If you have a G3 device,it might not be CID unlocked,download WST 4.2.2 tool and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID lock/unlocked status,but if its a G4,it cannot be CID unlocked,however,it can be upgraded to wm6 through methods called 'SoftSPL' and 'HardSPL',you can read about them in this G4 forum as 'Stickies'.
Btw,what is the IPL/SPL of your phone ?
WM6.1
Hello,
My QTEK is a G4 and I tought CID unlocked meant that the phone was free for all networks since I bought mine free of operator.
My IPL/SPL is 2.18.0001

Its surely is a G4 device with ipl/spl 2.18.0001. All network unlock means its only SIM unlocked,but CID unlock means you can upgrade to any wm6 Rom.SIM unlock and CID unlock are both different things,a G4 phone cannot be CID unlocked,however it can be upgrade with either 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' .

Hello,
THank you for your help. It solved the issue by using the SoftSPL. I already installed the SNN V3 Rom and it is working fine but I would like to use the HTC Cube, where can I get a compatible one?
