How to set Operator ID in WM6 ROM? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development

I have installed xplode WM6 latest ROM on my BA. I am continuously getting "Roaming Triangle" though I know I am in the no roam area. I used GetDeviceData.exe to extract device internal data and I find it shows AT%CID? and not my previous XGULA01 as Operator Id.
I believe this is one of the cause of getting continuously "Roaming Triangle".
Please suggest how to change it back to XGULA01 in ROM.
What other needs to be done to install this ROM with changed Operator ID?

Read about this earlier as related to WM6.
Do some search in other forums (not only BA), I read e.g.

Good luck!

Thanks for your suggestion and reference, I had already searched the matter at many other places too and no one has a clue so far.
I was further researching and found that one of the possible causes is the Operator code that gets embedded into the ROM. I wanted some one to give me a correct method to change the Operator code of the ROM else I have a chance to loose my device.

Op code was needed for upgrading the old 2003 roms.
Here is a cut and paste out of wiki Ba for begginers.
Note : Because of historical reason you can read it. But there is a utility MApgradeUt_noid.exe we are using for flashing without the need of changing so Operator code etc.
When flashing WM6 roms you are not confronted with this issue.
Best stop is wiki.

Chico,
Justin is correct, the Wiza100 & Wiza200 are all the same with only minor cosmetic differences. I see that you are new here so I'm going to politely suggest that you spend some time reading the forums and searching for the information you seek.
I don't know what the layout of the secondary keys is on your Wiza100 but I have a Cingular 8125 branded Wiza100 and have found that all WWE Roms correctly map my secondary keys. If you search the forum, you will find how to change the mapping of those keys.
You will find that other members here are very willing to help you but their patience is limited by your willingness to read and search the forums before starting a new thread that:
Has a vague title, I would suggest changing the thread title to something more indicative of your issue.
Asks for information that is already covered several time in the forum.
Attacks or insults someone who has a greater knowledge of these devices than you.
Good Luck in your Search for "Symbol Secondary Key Remapping".
(If you didn't get the hint then please don't contact me for more).
BTW, this isn't texting or IMing so if you want to be taken seriously don't type like it is.

Backup of ROM?

Hello.
I want to change/upgrade my ROM to WM6. But I want to make a Backup of my existing from first (maybe I'm to stupid to do the Update) and to have the chance to get my MDA Vario back to life I want to make a backup of the ROM is installed at this time.
Could somebody maybe tell me how i can backup my ROM? And... How can I reinstall the ROM? I think it will be moved to the SD Card?
Thanks a lot.
You might want to try this then first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305294
Thanks for this.
May problem is that I have a "very" new ROM installed (T-Mobile MDA Vario 2.21.2.8 GER). and I'm unable to complete the the CID unlock process (the Netlock is removed allready with the lokiwiz 3a.).
If I'm entering the Bootloader and open mtty I'm .not able to open the USB port.
Does it mean I need to downgrade?
Thanks Maik
There is a newer public T-Mobile ROM on the T-Mobile website: Version 2.26.2
You need to downgrade your ROM to custom 1.05 (check the WIKI page) in order to run lokwiz CID unlocker!
I tried the version 3 of lokwiz but the only one which worked properly on my MDA was the version .2b
How ever,
the CID lock should not effect the MTTY utility. This is an official HTC procedure and should work on any WIZ.
UPDATE:
I just saw that you're talking about a german ROM? The latest public german ROM is 3.3.8 (check the german T-Mobile site for that!). If you want to keep the older 2.21 you can find it at the Austrian T-Mobile site again after downgrading and unlocking your CID
I am running the german rom AKU3.3 myself - it is much nicier than previous versions and has already some WM6 features integrated.
Ok. So I need to downgrade my Device. to do the CID unlock.
Maybe the system firewall and some other settings are affecting the MTTY issue.
I checked the T-Mobile website for the newer German ROM version.
If I check https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_mda_vario.htm (what my Device is) I only see the 2.21 version and NO newer version?
1.
Go to www.t-mobile.de
2.
Click on top on the menu "HILFE & FAQ"
3.
Select on that site "Broschüren & Software"
4.
Now click on the left site menu on "T-Mobile Software"
5.
It takes you to a new page and asks you for your MDA. Don't worry if your PDA is not in the list! Just choose any PDA. It will take you to a new page and show you the selected PDA. Right underneath you will see a link: "Model aendern" - click on that link and then chose as Manufacturer T-Mobile and you will find the MDA VARIO!
Sorry for being so complicate but the T-Mobile site is set up with Flash, so, you can't just copy the link! You always have to go the loooong way! Be aware that you have to temporarely allow popup's ... !
How ever,
I will try to paste the link here to the direct download and I hope it works:
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/t-mobile/ruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_382120_026911_tmo_de_ger_ship.zip
Hey the link works....
Thanks. I find out that my Device is a G4 device and I also see that I can't unCID this device... Right?
I'm a little bit in fear that something is going wrong during the Update to WM6 and I have no working Backup on my SD card.
Ok. So this steps I will do. Maybe you can currect me if I'm wrong.
1. I will perform a downgrade to the custom rom 1.05 and then I make a backup after running CID unlock.
2. I make a Backup with the MTTY
3. I will install the WM6
4. If not working I can backup from SD card and maybe install the newest ROM
You only should downgrade for CID unlocking your device! This is required for installing other ROMs than from your cell phone provider!
If you want to upgrade to the new german AKU3.3 from T-Mobile - that should work without CID unlock! You also should be able to downgrade to your existing ROM version in case you just dislike the new AKU3.3
BTW:
If you're planning to upgrade to a selfmade WM6 which you can find all over the web: I tried almost all of them! None was as stabile and good as the german T-Mobile AKU3.3! Sure, they look cute with their VISTA-style look but the functionality is far away from being perfect! Also: Lots of the ROMs are very user-personalized and contain no configuration for your network (such as GPRS and MMS) - my advice: stick to your provider ROMs, either AKU2 (which you're currently running) or the newer AKU3.3 from the link above - at least until you learnt flashing and registry hacking on your device!
WOW I allready can hack the Registry but having sometimes some issues with instructions here . Like I say before... I'm a little bit in fear...
Well, it is understandable! Noone wants to end up with a brick!
There is always a risk in flashing devices! I do it since years now and was unlucky only once by flashing a SIM locked ROM to a Motorola phone. Haven't had any problems since then. The best thing is READING and if you can't find answers just post your question. Next to it is always helpful to check also other Forums or try to find guides in your own mother tongue!
Hacking the registry is not really riskfully - at leat the only one thing what can happen is that your device won't start up and you might lose your files and data. Other than that you should be able in any case to get it running with a hard reset again by holding CON button and Voice Dial button at the same time and press Reset.
Flashing can destroy the device because of it actually erases everything in the device; even the ROM before it writes the new one. But even here you will be able to enter in BOOTLOADER mode in most cases.
Yeah thats right Junner. Reading and asking... Since I flashed my SDA wrong I'm happy to have a Backup on the SD card to get the Image back. If this is the case I'm happy.
I installed AKU 3.3 and it's looking good and working fine.
Maybe I will downgrade to the custom 1.05 and do a backup. I only want to look how the WM6 is looking.
Are you German? Or german speeking?
The ROM backup to SD card via MTTY should work without CID unlocking your device! There is no need to downgrade for that purpose. I had hard times by doing it too. It took me several trials until it worked finally!
The downgrade is only necessary if you're planning to install ROMs from other providers or ROMs in other languages. I asume you're german, so, if you don't believe anything I say - this you can believe: the german AKU3.3 is the best out there you can find for the WIZ
Like I mentioned earlier: all the WM6 ROMs you will find all over the web are user created! They are either taken off from other devices and changed around until they worked on the WIZ or just visual pepped up AKU3.3 ROMs (the one you installed now). Allthough, I did not find any WM6 out ther which did not have issues in one way or another ...
I speak a little bit german , yeah!
We have WURSTFEST here once a year with lots of Sauerkraut and beer ...
Mates, if I read my rom am i going to be able to copy it to pc and Dump it with a ROM Kitchen?

A very newbie

Sorry, I have been searchin for an answer, but couldnt find any.
The question is, in som threads i see people mentioning radio and it's version.
What exactly do they mean and where do you get other versions?
Regards..
when people speak of the radio, they mean the driver on the telephone that operates the built-in GPRS Radio. This is the radio that allows the phone to connect to a mobile phone network so you can call. (and use data connections)
If a new version of the radio is released, it can be flashed on your phone, using RUU. Read the threads in the ROM Development forum. If you can't understand what's posted there, I advise you not to try it out. Just read the info that's there, get into it a bit and then start tinkering. If you then find yourself in trouble, you can always turn to us - being the other users who have tested and tried abovementioned methods.
Thank you for fast answer=). But, the radio can get improved with firmware? such as better signal strength? One more question, UC, what's UC? " UC Support " in roms?
Radio - yes, sometimes it can improve. After all that's the whole use of updates.
UC = User customization. It means you can specify which CAB files should be installed when you hard-reset or flash your phone. A ROM must be UC compatible for it to work. Search for User customization on XDA to find the original topic.

[SOLVED]Trouble with the rilphone.dll in my ROM

I have been working on cooking a ROM for my Tilt2 using the osKitchen. Everything is going swimmingly except for a couple of last things.
I am having some trouble with my phone connection and signal. The signal shows 5 bars and then then drops to 0 and stays that way for a while then jumps back to 5 bars. I have noticed this behavior no matter what the signal actually is. I may have messed up a setting but it seems like this all started happening when I tried to change out the rilphone.dll. Are there any things that I need to consider when using another rilphone.dll? I just grabbed the whole folder of the one that I wanted to use and replaced that in my OEM Driver folder. I am sure that I am using a TouchPro II rilphone.dll. I have tried three different ones from other stock roms and I know that they are radios that work on my device. Are there other files that I need to include? Or other settings that will affect performance?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
cj
See if this can help you:

posting from the road..
re: rilphone.dll:
one way to implement would be to dump the rom that comes with the radio, grab rilphone.dll, insert into your rom, cook.
but that only works if you have the oem/rom/sys or if the rom is unprotected so you can dump/recook..
if the chef has patched nk.exe in your rom to skip security checks, you can simply copy rilphone.dll to device as rilphone2.dll
or similar, and change the registry to point to that, soft reset.. if rom is not cert patched it won't load without proper signatures.
if i recall there's a program in development and hacking forum that will allow you to open any nbh, and extract/inject single files..
with that program you can simply extract desired rilphone.dll, inject into desired target rom prior to flashing.. no need to worry about
signatures as rom files are always trusted. that way is probably easiest
apologies for poor formatting, etc.

I appreciate the reply. That link had some good info and Da_Gs quote was definitely great information.
Unfortunately, I am not having trouble getting the dll. I have several that I have pulled from stock ROMS that will all work in my Kitchen. The problem is that they don't seem to work completely. I can make and receive some calls but the signal and radio are very inconsistent.
After some more testing I can report that it is definitely the rilphone.dll. When I switched back the dll folder from my stock ROM all is well. There must be something else that I am not considering.
Thanks again,

Hi CJ,
Although swapping around the RILPHONE.DLL usually provides functionality, keep in mind that each carrier compiles their own version for their Radio Stack. So in short, the RILPHONE.DLL is generally intended to work with a specific Radio Stack ... it's one of the reasons you'll often see the Radio & RILPHONE.DLL as one package.
HTH,
Thanks HTH,
I did try to flash the appropriate radio with each rilphone.dll which I assume is what you mean by Radio Stack. Sorry to be so noobish on this. I will keep trying. Maybe I did change an important setting. It has been known to happen.
Thanks again,
cj
Correct.
For example, if you look at the Raphael ROM Development forum Radio thread, you will notice that the poster(s) always include the RILPHONE.DLL with the RADIO.NBH file.
Cheers,
Solved!
Ok. so the answer is that I coked in a package called GSM_RSSI. Not really sure what this package does but it seems that it is only found in the ATT Tilt2 Dump. When I disabled that package then the newer dll's work great.

That package provides ATT functionality and the 5 signal bar graphic. It reads right from rilphone. If you enable it with another ril youll get flashing or no signal bars. If you use the ATT rilphone you get 5 signal bars. If you use custom top bar graphics it will override other dll files. Be sure you remove the corresponding reg keys in oemoperator or you develop other issues.

Used to use cooked rom, phone function sudden failed.

I used to use cooked rom, tried 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5.x.
Failed to search for phone signal today, confirmed not SIM card problem.
Will cooked rom damage hardware? Thanks!
I don't think so , Hard-reset your phone with your Sim-card inside it and it will work again
If the problem still persist, try to install radio from this link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440503
If that does not solve the problem, I think the only way is to install a shipped ROM that suits with your phone's specification (ELF or ELFIN, Model ID and etc).
But don't forget to return your SPL and IPL to origina ones when you will load a shipped ROM. You can find them on XDA Wiki.
Hope your Elf (Elfin?) will be Ok!
How can I know my original IPL? SPL?
if you didn't run the dsixda script before hand that grabs all your information, and have sinced changed your IPL/SPL then I'm not sure.
However, If you know your phone model number (T-MOB0005 etc.) You may be able to guesstimate to what they were based on that - Personally, I think that could be a bit risky, but it was worth the suggestion.
Do you remember if you have changed the IPL and SPL? You could always run the dsixda script now to see what you have. It should be in the ROM section
Sorry I can't be more help, but I can only make a suggestion as to how, as I have always took a note of them before starting anything.
At the same time - I also have an elf that is unable to connect to a network, I have tried radio upgrades etc and custom roms, so if you do fix it, I know that I would appreciate the outcome, as would many others who have posted the same issue - In the mean time I am continuing my hunt for a fix for it

Is that means that I can only use cooked rom from now on if I don't know the original SPL IPL?

If you haven't changed them, then you could well still be able to use your shipped rom.
but if you don't know what they were, and have changed them, then yes, custom roms is the only way for you, from what I understand.
