I have the WM6 kitchen, and I have been using it on my Apache.
My friend wants me to flash his 8125 unlocked to work for tmobile
what certain/extra instructions will I have todo to make sure it will still work on tmobile?
Basically all the wizards made by HTC are the same in hardware,features,applications and utility wise.They all are manufactured by HTC for different vendors and cellular networks,which sell them according to their own brands and OS's.It doesn't matter if its from T-mobile,cingular or Att&T. Yes! you can flash a Cingular with T-mobile OS or vise versa and with any wm6 rom.The only difference is in the GPRS and network settings,if you want to flash a T-mobile Rom,then you'll have to get the settings of T-mobile,thats it !!!
Cheers!
Thank you zabardast_1! I'm kinda scared to mess with other people's phone, uhh, because it's not mine!
I use an 8125 on T-Mobile. Works fine, just unlocked it and put in sim, didnt even have to reflash rom (though I did later, anyway)

Just to make sure, when you say ORIGINAL, you mean the Cingular ROM?
The original can be Tmobile 2.26 or Cingular 2.25. It really doesn't matter which one, the phone has no idea what "clothing...case" it's wearing. You can find the Cingular 2.25 rom off HTC's website I believe.

I just picked up a cingular 8125 and set it up for my fiancee to use on tmobile. Just make sure you follow the directions for G3/G4 and you'll have no problems at all. I also CID unlocked it and loaded up the 2.26 tmobile rom for her. She called and had them help her through the data settings and all works just fine.
I'm actually jealous of the phone, I have a Sprint Mogul and she gets much better battery life than I do.

I recently purchased an Unlocked T-mobile phone. My AT&T sim seems to work fine but I WANT voice command and the added speed.
on Yorch, I notice there are 3 choices
4.00.05 seems like a generic
4.00,10 A Tmobile release
4.00.16 Anothe Tmobile
I have heard that T-mobile builds have more truoble on AT&T network. should I go with .05? or will one of the T-mobiles work OK.
If I go with a T-mobile, should I still use the AT&T radio Stack?
Thanks,
Matt
ATT has the most stable radio stack so don't touch it. You can try each ROM if you like. Make sure you create a backup of your current ROM so you can go back just in case. Since those are all USA ROMS you can pick whichever one you one, your location in the USA has no effect. Personally, I like the generic ROM for it allows ATT to display the "G" which signifies internet capability. Plus, you have more room to cram in more apps. The Tmob ROMS are full of crap you won't use. Have fun.
Yea go with 4.00.05 I was going to suggest 4.00.11 but I see Jeff's ROM Kitchen is still offline. Also I agree valheru on keeping the AT&T RS.
HTH
Thanks for the feedback.
I think I'm running a T-Mobile Radio Stack. 6.18.00
Is this AT&T? or T-Mobile?
Uh, if you have the Tmobile radio stack then it is a Tmobile radio stack. Reboot your device and tell us what it says.
From the device settings it says : 6.18.00
Yeap thats a T-Mobile radio stack!
Also confirming you got that info. from going to Start, Settings, System, Device Information?
right, device information....
I tried to unzip the latest AT&T radio stack from Yorch.net, but it had a password. Any help there?

Hey, I am new here....
I have had mt ATT SX56 for 2 months and am fed up and switching to Tmobile. I'd love to be able to use this phone with the T-Mo service.
From reading these forums I tried to use the XDAUnlock.exe, but that didn't do anything because an error message showed up. So now, I went and purchased a serial cable.
I don't know what to do next. I would optimally like the WM 2003 on the phone after I update it, and I'd like the phone optimized for T-mobile.
If someone would point me in the right direction by giving me some instructions of what to download, where, and what the process is, I would really appreciate it. I know I have to cook my own ROM, etc....but which one? And how?
Thanks!!!!!!
Brad
If XDAunlock.exe didn't work, then the best start point is to flash your ROM with the XDA-developers ROM 3.17 and it will unlock your XDA with the first booting. Next, you can cook any 2003 ROM you like and flash your XDA again.
For the RSU, if the current Radio version didn't get the signal in your area, most propably you will need to upgrade your RSU to TMO 6.24
You can get the ROM from http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php
And you can get the RSU from www.yorch.net "upgrades"
In all cases, you better to do SD backup of the current versions.
Good luck ...
OK-
Finally got the XDA unlocked with the SER. Thank you XDA Developers!!!!! Now I have a useless serial cable. Oh well, I'll take that over my other options..
Is it normal that the SER increased my reception? I now have signal in my house whereas I did not before. Also, I seem to have lost all possibility of connecting to the internet. How do I get this back? What do I do in the connection settings?
In any event, now that I did that, exactly what rom base do I cook if I want PPC Mobile 2003? 4.00.05 PPC 2003, 4.00.10 Tmo, or 4.00.16 Tmo?
Thanks!!!!!!
OKey DOke-
One last question...I have upgraded to the Regular ppc 2003 rom.
Phone works, internet doesn't. How do I set this up?
Hi
I just bought a Siemens SX56 which locked to AT&T wireless. I want to use this on T-mobile network with Windows Mobile 2003.
I read through several threads trying to figure what is the best way to get to my final state.
I see people discussing about two things "Radio Stack" and ROM.
I could not figure out if the radio stack is provider specific. Did not know if i can just upgrade both with the AT&T ROM.
Here is my current plan. Please help me in making sure that i am not going to end up with a brick.
1. Unlock the devicewith XDA2Unlock
2. Upgrade the device to WM2003 with the Siemens AT&T executable from siemens web site.
3. Put my T-Mobile sim card and use it on t-mobile network.
Would this work ?. What is the best way to get best reception on this PDA with t-mobile ?.
thanks

1. Your device is XDA I ... so the right tool is XDAunlock here www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ and it will work only if you still have the PPC 2002 ROM on yoru device, other wise you will have to flash your device with the special edition ROM SER1.2 from the forum here as well.
2. The excutable contains both RSU and ROM. If your phone works fine don't touch the RSU. Get a cooked WM2003 ROM from the kitchen here and flash your device ROM only.
3. Try and let's know
Good luck
I'm a bit of a newbie myself, however I've been playing with both a TMobile and an AT&T PPCPE for the last few weeks.
Why are you putting the AT&T ROM on the phone - surely it would be best to put on the TMobile version so that it would have all the internet settings, etc.
-=Nick=-
Thanks for the reply.
I read somewhere that if my radio version if A33, i will not be able to use the XDAUnlock utility. Is that true. If that is true will i be able to unlock using any other process ?
I will be getting PPCPE this week. I am excited to get it up and running with my existing T-mobile SIM.
thanks
T-Mobile have released a new ROM for their MDA, which can be downloaded from T-Mobile here.
No exact details are available as to what is changed but users are reporting improvements in:
- "G" icon replaced by an "E" icon indicating EDGE connections.
- Hold down the wireless button toggles between silent/vibrate mode and ringer-on mode.
- Signal acquiring issue resolved.
- A2DP implemented.
- Startup time is much faster after a soft-reset
- Signal strengh is more reliable and stronger
- Reduced sync times
- Enhanced Communications Manager
- "Lock/Unlock Device" item added to Today screen
- Changes to Signal indicator on top bar
- New Network Connection Settings added
Plus is reportedly upgrades the machine to AKU2.3.
sweet... but don't i have to do some crazy thing to my MDA to beable to get this ROM on there? I heard updating the ROM is hard
I am running this ROM, and I can tell you it is not too hard to do. Start by downloading lokiwiz from here.
Specific directions are included in that thread, but it is as simple as copying the enable RAPI cab to your device and running it, and then connecting the usb cable to the computer and running lokiwiz. do both the Super CID and the SIM unlock now (this may not be nessesary if your device is a t-mobile MDA, but it is best to just do it now, just in case...)
Once you are unlocked, it is as simple as downloading the ROM, connecting the USB and doubble clicking the installer... Follow the prompts, and you have a new ROM
I personally am running the 2.26 T-mobile ROM, and I really like it... If you haven't upgraded from the stock rom, I would reccomend giving it a try.
I hope this helps... And If you have any questions please let me or someone else know... It is better to ask a stupid question than fry your wizard...
EDIT--- The link to Lokiwiz I posted is to an upgraded version that I don't know how to use, it appears it has been upgraded for the newer ROMS, but dosen't work the same as the older version... If you have an MDA I would try the upgrade without it.... SORRY

It's an official rom no need to unlock anything - just download it and follow the instructions . . . .
OK
so my stupid question:
1. Does this update change the radio ROM, IPL and SPL?

Yes it does Change Everything
IPL: 2.26
SPL: 2.26
ROM version: 2.26.10.2
ROM date: 6/7/06
Radio Version: 2.25.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12
OS Build version: 14955.2.3.0
Don't know if you can adjust you topic title but there are a few threads already running in the "Wizard Upgrading" section.
You're talking about the T-Mobile 2.26 version. That's not realy new. So if anybody wan't some answers just check the "Wizard Upgrading" section. 'Cause that's where it should be
Ah damn! I just upgraded to 2.24, is it worth doing this uprgrade?
If I installed all my programs to my Memory Card will they still be on the program list or will I have to load them all up again?
CHEERS!
Ok, maybe a silly question but...
Can I put a US carrier's ROM on my UK phone? Like the radio stack is compatible and all that?

Thanks Starcruiser1229, yeah I upgraded my rom ... although i still can't get EDGE to work (and im supposably in an EDGE enabled town) but that is a whole different subject.
anyway, thanks.
anyone no longer need nullkb?
hey - where did you find the site http://www.t-mobileapps.com ?
does TMobile publicize this site at all? (not that it seems to show much)

In previous stock TMO ROM, landscape mode with keyboard open popped up the virtual on-screen keyboard. I used NullKB to keep that from happening.
Now, with the new ROM released today, the virtual on-screen keyboard doesn't pop up in landscape mode.
Just checking with everyone else.

Yep, I've already did with xelencin's 2.24 T-Mobile rom from this site. One catch though there is a slight difference in the keyboard layout between the U.S. and U.K. but you can fix that by a reg. hack.
Use Total Commander and add the hack :
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0809 hex
I have a O2 XDA Mini S using the U.S. T- Mobile rom. I haven't upgraded to the new rom yet.

The link I believe is part of T-Mobile's parent company. If you login to your T-Mobile account and select MDA as your phone, then click the link "support for MDA" at the top of the screen it will take you to another screen which has the link "System Upgrade"
Kind of ironic, I was just browsing around before posting about where to find upgraded ROMs!
I'm running a UK Tmobile MDA Vario, but I'm in Canada. Just to be sure, if I download this ROM and then do the keyboard registry hack, I should be good right? I'm still on ROM version 1.6.2.4 WWE
Thanks!

You should be, I'm in the U.S. and won the UK device from www.4WinMobile.com . It was running software branded by the company O2, I flashed it with a U.S. T-Mobile Rom and haven't had any problems. The only real difference in all of the HTC Wizard devices is the Version of WM5 Rom your running and the Extended Rom put out by the company selling the device. (I am in no way an expert this is my understanding from what I have read,)
I hope to have time to upgrade to the new rom this weekend.
I have just bought a 8125 running 1.8.11.1 rom, 11/24/05. This phone is unlocked and I am using my old AT&T sim. If I upgrade to the new 2.25 rom will my phone still work with the AT&T blue sim.
Thanks so much!!!!
followup
Just checked and it is not cid unlocked. How can this be working with my blue sim?
Will the new cingular 2.25 update diasable my phone.
Thanks so much for your input!!!
Cid unlocking unlocks your phone for using custom kitchens. Sim unlocking unlocks your phone to use other providers sim cards. It is best to unlock both. Use lokiwiz. There is a sticky somewhere in the wizard section of xda that will tell you how to do it. Read everything carefully. Any modifications you do, you do at your own risk. Read the wiki, the stickies, etc before customizing. By reading it, you understand the how's and why's.
If my phone is simm unlocked now and I upgrade rom to 2.25 off HTC cingular sight will it still work with my AT&T blue simm?
Thanks!
As I said before...once cid/sim unlocked, always cid/sim unlocked...flashing different roms will not relock the device...BUT it needs to be both cid/sim unlocked if you are flashing from a kitchen. And yes, if it is sim unlocked, ANY sim will work in the device.

As long as you have a SIM it will work...it does not matter if you have blue, red or yellow...
CID unlock will help to install different OS...READ (I mean READ!!!) the wiki and stickies...
thanks so much for your replies. I did upgrade to the htc 2.25 rom and really dont see much difference and yes the sim still works.
Thanks again
