Hello lloyd, as you can see from all the offers of help that you received, this site is full of big heads who claim to be geniuses, but when faced with a simple question reply that you should read more!
Unfortunately, it appears that most of the contributors are so illiterate and self centered that they do not have time to help people with genuine problems.
For the last six months, I have been trying to upgrade my rom, only to find links that do not work and instructions that are incomplete.
If you want any real help, you will not find it on this website.

I just bought a HT820 for my Cingular 8125, after being told it would allow me to listen to music wirelessly. Of course everyone knows this wont happen without the A2DP BT profile installed. So why hasnt HTC included this in the last rom? I upgraded to it tonight expecting them to have included it since it's availible.. but NO... *grumbles*
ANYWAYS, since i cant do it, I'm looking into a non-approved rom.. but seriously I'm new to PPC's and dont have a clue. I've read through alot of posts and noticed stuff about G3 and G4, as well as talk about the phones being locked or not.
My questions are, how can you tell if it is locked? How can you tell what G you have? (I'm guessing that might stand for generation?)
Seriously, I dont want too much of a change that involves risks. All i'm looking for is any current rom with what i need in it, and the knowledge of how to get it on my phone. Any help? (And please dont flame me for asking something that might have been asked before.. there are WAY to many posts to sort through on here to find my answers).
Please help peeps. From what i can tell on here, you are all very nice people. I didnt see one rude post. So please... keep up the friendlyness? ^_^
Edit: oh and i forgot. the numbers i get when i startup my phone are (in order):
2.25
2.25
2.25.11
2.25.11.1
and under device info:
Rom Ver. 2.25.11.1 WWE
Rom date 5/11/06
Radio version 02.25.11
Protocol Ver. 4.1.13.12
ExtRom Ver. 2.25.11.102
Model: WIZA100
I have the same PDA
and same questions. Is it possible or not to unlock the PDA?
Thank you!
yes you can unlock the 8125 that have the g3 chip. that means if your phone at the beggining page has 2.25.0001 it means you have a g4 chip and not much modding can be done to them. so i beg of you not to do anything to a g4 8125. but anyways to unlock them use the farias way. just search lockwiz and look for farias page. after you do that flash the newest rom from htc. thaway your phone works properly. after that search a2dp and follow the instructions. i think ive given you guys more help than i ever received when i first started on this webpage. Good luck to you guys.
Dear All,
I spent a lot of hours, days, reading the posts on the forum about the Universal and upgrading it. I didn't find some answers.
I still have some open questions that I request your help in order to have a safe upgrade.
I have a Qtek 9000, that is SimLock.
I would like to Upgrade to an AKU 3.5 ROM or to one Crossbow ROM ( still under assessment)
Now my questions:
To upgrade,
I will have to upgrade bootloader, because since Aku 3.2 Rom , it needs to be 1.01. That is clear.
Edit: Opsss tried bottloader for first time and my version is 2.01 So no bootloader upgrade, but new question:
Sim Unlock works with bootloader 2.01?
1 - Do I need to SIMUNLOCK before ROM or Radio ROM upgrade? If yes:
- I will need an oficial radio ROM. Which one? Are 1.13 or 1.14 is OK?
- Must I first Simunlock and only after upgrade the bootloader?
2 -Country Code error, what is it? (Solved)
Edit : About Country error, no specific answer, but i got almost what I looked for.
Thx you all for the hard work and colaboration on this site.
Cheers
TADAA... answers
I'm afraid you didnt took your best sshot at searching, cuz 3 or 4 post above yours is a topic called "problems with upgrading?"
in this topic you will find the info AND tools you need to succesfully upgrade..
I don't know about the simlock thing, i flashed mine with the simlock on, to a cooked rom, and it works, but don't blame me if it F*CKS up your mobile i suggest that you do a bit of research in that part..
Country id error:
You get that when you try to install a rom that is from a different manufacturer/country then yours, to solve this problem look at this link
(the link to the forementioned topic)

I know how to solve the country error, I just would like to get more info about it.
About the other post, I will look for it, but when i made search ( last time was the last week) I didn't find the answers i look for.
Since I looked and didn't find it could you please provide a link? ( sorry)
Thx for your help.
Hi,
1. I agree with bastiaanoskam cause I think almost any question about upgrading the Universal has been answered before in this forum.
2. I don't see the need to unlock your device if you don't want to change your current provider.
3. As far as I understand the country error is due to a change in the original language for which your device was thought (look for MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe) i.e. you have a Japanese device and want to upgrade to WWE version.
4. About the bootloader, I just saw one ROM that is said it requires to upgrade your bootloader to 1.01, it was a preview AKU3.2 from i-mate but I don't really know if the upgrade is really needed. I have read it's not needed for Crossbow and also for custom cooked AKU3.5 but again every new cooked ROM usually has a thread so you can find answers there.

1 - I do agree that there is a lot of info about the upgrade process, I just didn't find the answer for what I'm looking for.
2 - I didn't find a post where is stated that the device should be unlock to install the new ROM, but I also din't find the oposite, so my doubt.
3 - It seems that I should try first and if I get the error, go for the alternative method. I woul like to jump this step, but if there isn't other way, well, that's life
4 - Maybe it's a bad interpretation on my side of the wiki post. Porbably only some I-mate based roms need the bottloader upgrade.
thx for the help
Hello,
I just picked up an HTC 6800 unit branded the P4000 from Telus. It came with WM5 and I would like to load WM6 on it. I've been reading lots around here trying to get all the tools and information I need to move forward but more than anything I'm nervous that I will brick my phone. I know my phone is very new and I'm not sure if these tools will work on my model or not?
From what I understand I need to use the CID Unlock to allow me to upgrade my ROM and Radio for WM6.
I think with a little trial and error that I have enough knowledge to get this working it's just like I said I'm not sure if these tools will work on my phone.
Can someone please tell me if this will work or give me some links to other posts that might help.
Thanks in advance for everyones help,
Dave

DO NOT UPGRADE with WM6 in this forum! the phone you have is the Herald which is not the same as the Hermes. If I am right yours has a 200mhz chip and the keyboard slides out to the right. If you upgrade with the Hermes WM6 it will brick your device.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, IT IS A DIFFERENT PHONE!
Good morning all
Is the first time that i write in a forum, i'll try to explain my problem and i hope that somobody can help me.
I'm working in china and one day i lost my thelephone, so i decided to buy a PDA HTC P3300.But only after some day i saw that some thing was not working, so i'm tring to downgrade a new rom.
Here i had my problem, i followed all the details that i found on internet, also i took some informations and file from this forum to coplete the procedure like Hard SPL and so on, the problem is that when activesync is connected to the device i launch for example Hard SPL to upgrade it but after the program showed me the version installated and i said upgrade, i waited for a while and then the progam told me to check the usb connection (i tried whit 3 different cable) ERROR 260.The same thing happened when i tried to change the ROM.
CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE?? I NEED THE PDA ALSO FOR WORK.
Thank you everybody!
You might have better luck asking for assistance on this subject in the Artemis upgrading forum:

Hard Spl??? For the Artmes?? Mate are you trying to brick your device cause it seems you are doing a pretty good job of it too,Hard Spl is NOT for the p3300 it is for the Hermes and Trinity which are two very very different models of HTC. Please make an effort to read the Wiki before you start messing with the phone.Try flashing the t-mobile stock rom FOR THE ARTEMIS(WITHOUT THE HARD SPL) and hopefully it may work also find out from your buyer if it is CID unlocked though i doubt wether they would know.
Check in Settings - Connections - USB to PC that the USB advanced network functionality is not ticked. That's caught me out in the past after making changes.
This is assuming that others in this forum are correct and you've not yet made a brick using the wrong model. Good luck!
One problem more on rom
Thanks all for your answers

T-Mobile Here
Did you buy it in China?
If you bought the phone in China, there will be 2 versions. 1 for the chinese market (han huo) and the others are for other markets (usually europe) then flashed with the chinese rom (shui huo). As far as I know the chinese versions aren't locked and the foreign market versions musn't be locked either due to the fact that they have to put on the chinese rom

thanks to the ELITE team, ROM chefs, and everyone that made upgrading our diamonds possible!
Niceeeeeeeeeeeee
Looks good mate. Keep it coming!
My one issue with this (and only a small one!) is that .info sites are notorious for scammers. Obviously thats not a scam site but you don't wanna be tarred with same brush!
really? ha well, the main reason is that a .info is $0.99/year haha (maybe its cheap since they're only used by scammers now?)... and i don't think it hurt trinityguides being on an .info domain.. but if accessing a .com would make you feel more at home, then donate away!
LOL 99c - no wonder they are used by scammers.... !!
Looks really nice. Keep up the good work.
Hmm.. I know it sounds very stupid and yes it is.
I do not know which version I had before. It was one of the earlie Expansys Models build for UK. Does someone know which SPL was the original one?
Cheers
hmm... i don't know about that. wouldn't it be the one on the official UK ROM that's circulating? or is that without SPL?
It was an original UK-ROM. So I guess a UK device.
Bought her ein germay from a company who had the device already 2 weeks ago.
Everything was in english and the default region was set to english (uk).
Maybe I ned to have a look at the box. Maybe I can find more info about the device there.

Really nice.
Some basics need to be Explained:
SPL,Radio,ROM differences, three parts.
What is a ROM
What is SPL and Bootloader
Why do we need HardSPL
What happens when we Flash Rom
What happens with hard reset
What happens with soft reset
What is the Radio Rom
Internal Storage and Memory difference
These basics will make a newbe more familiar with procedure.
IT's very well explained how HARDSPL install works, but when never done this, no-one will know what HARDSPL is and a newbie never is sure enough about it to just flash without asking us. And we want this Explanations, so one does not have to ask
Please help! Diamond will not boot
Hi
I did something really stupid. I was having battery drain issues with my new Touch Diomand, so I logged into HTC website to get the firmware upgrade.
I used to have an HTC Touch, and that was the only firmware available on their site, at the time I did not realise that it was the wrong one for me !
So I started installing it, it failed, and now I get the rainbow screen at startup.
I have tried hard reset, no joy. I have called HTC, they cannot help. No-one here in NZ services these phones, so I am stuck.
I have tried installing the firmware update from modmydiamond.info, but I STILL get the same problem, it just shows the rainbow screen and I cannot continue from there...
On a PC,this would be a bootstrap issue, I have no idea what to do (other than buying an iphone) any wisdom ??
That site is really nice...it introduced me to the HTCD flash world...
thanks.
Link named Hard-SPL 1.40 points to version 1.30
Hi,
On page Home -> Upgrade Guides -> Upgrade to Hard-SPL it says:
Download a Hard-SPL from the forums here
Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED
I succesfully downloaded and installed the Olinex Hard-SPL, but when I enter
the bootloader te tri-colour screen reads SPL-1.30 OliNex i.s.o. 1.40. What
did I do wrong? What are the differences between 1.30 and 1.40?
Thanks in advance,
Flat
P.S.: Great site!!
