A few questions about the Wizard

First: I have browsed through the Wizard forums for several weeks now, and have been unable to answer these questions myself. So I thought I would ask ...
I have a T-Mobile-branded Wizard with the following info:
Sim unlocked (thanks to excellent info from xda-developers)
Ipl: 2.26
Spl: 2.26
GSM: 2.25.11
OS: 2.26.10.2
I'm using the phone on Cingular
One thing I have noticed, I can't seem to connect to regular wifi hot spots. It will see them just fine, but it can never seem to connect. Anyone know if this is locked down by Tmobile?
Also, I noticed that everyone seems to have their favorite homebrew rom, but I can't seem to find a good list of what each rom does. Is there such a list somewhere that could show me what the benefits are of different roms?
Thanks.

You already have the latest version available for Wizard. Particulary, I like the Molski.biz ROM, check-out their site: http://molski.biz

Still confused
I went out to the Molski page and checked out the rom he has created. But that page does not really explain much. I mean, what is the advantage of using his rom over the one that it already on my phone now? What will it allow me to do that I can't do now?

Well, I've uses both and they seem same to me. I stuck with 2.26 official from from tmo.
But you can download a wifi detecter to see the signal of your connections. If you're talking about wi-fi, then no t-mobile does not block them.
And have you install the cab to enable g speed?

latest titan ROM

Sorry I didn't search guys... But real quick, what is the latest Titan ROM & where can I get it? I'm currently running the old 2.14 ROM. What are the advantages of upgrading to the new one? Excuse my noobedness... lol

Oh, my provider is ALLTEL by the way...

Latest ROM
Well the latest TITAN ROM is Sprints 3.35 available at the HTC America page, but if your looking for something to work with alltel you'll have to go see whats been cooked up by folks like DCD or NEX....

You can save alot of time just by doing a search (at least try to do a search first)
Check the Titan Upgrades forum for all the information you need.

Thanks. I looked in there but I was a little confused about if carrier mattered. Thanks!

I really shouldn't do this since I'm a Sprint guy but it doesn't look like there is much Alltel help around here. The steps are fairly simple ( make SURE you double check on the upgrade threads)
1. Write down all your phone info (MSID, etc.) in case you need to reprogram the phone later.
2. Upgrade to the latest Sprint ROM (this is basically to get the new Radio with GPS capability)
3. Load SPL 2.40-olipro bootloader (Extremely important! - DO NOT attempt to load a custom ROM without this bootloader installed)
4. Load any Custom ROM you want (most Custom and Kitchen ROMs will have an Alltel specific ROM)
Enjoy.
(just to be safe, if you are running Windows, I'd do this on a XP machine.)

TELUS HTC P4000 (Canadian TITAN Counterpart)

Good morning Everyone,
I was looking into information on updating my Cell phone ROM as after some reading and searching I found out that this phone is GPS capable (Why they would sell it with the functionality disabled is beyond me.) On the Official HTC website I did find a new update that was released 08/06/2008 at the following link. CLICKY! . I am wounder if anyone else is having a problem downloading this file and installing it? I receive an error saying the file is corrupt and I should download the file again. I have tried downloading the file from two separate computers, tried all three mirror sites (US, Europe, Asia) and last but not least tried using three different web browsers. Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari for Windows.
I am curious if anyone knows of another mirror site for this newly released update that is working? Or of another way I can update to the same version. I am unfamiliar with the ROMs that are on this website (I could figure it out but am uneasy about installing something unofficial.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I also noticed that the file name "-HTC P4000 (Telus)-Telus_HTC_P4000_WM6_07252007.exe" Has an old date on it? I am hoping they just rebuilt a previous update, or they have not actually posted the new update and still have an old one which happens to not work. Just an observation I noticed.
PSS: I have sent in a technical help request through the online process of HTC asking for a link to a working .exe but I tend to find that out of the norm requests such as this do not turn out very well with corporations whose support team are really only knowledgeable in standard help desk things IE: I'm too stupid to turn on my phone can you help me?

Did you follow the instructions here?
http://www.telusmobility.com/on/business_solutions/htc_p4000_upgrade_xp.shtml
I did a while back and it worked. If not, just switch to DCD's, it's awesome. Telus's 6.1 ROM doesn't enable your GPS.

Ya that is currently the ROM I am running, Maybe I am just mixed up. I looked at the HTC website for the TELUS rom and noticed the date for release was 08/06/2008 so I was under the assumption they had released an updated ROM that was a newer version then 2.13.661.2 which I am already running. One that would also patch the GPS (just a guess). However, I guess I will look into the DCD roms and see if I can fumble through the guides to get it loaded. Thanks anyways.

telus p4000 rom
I have a P4000 running on DCD 3.2.2 and Radio 3.42.2 gps enabled internet sharing enabled and many other stuff... this is just roocking the place.. Just forgot the official Rom and go for dcd you just have to follow all instructions be aware and youll anjoye all youre gona do with your phone

HTC P4000 rocks again!
Being half way through custom install (with all nightmares and mistakes ) I found this official update too. Confirm too: everything works as expected.
Took a while for GPS to pick up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, but the it worked like a charm!

2nd that. Upgraded from the old v2 and now to this one GPS and everything worked great with Google Maps.. I didn't bother stopping that customization thing like I've read in other post. Loaded that HTC home Plugin v2.1 on it and its fine.

Collection of Radios inside (ALL Radio ROMS)

Since i was doing research for missed calls for TNT rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435552
I've collected all known 2.xx radios for wizard. Didnt see a thread dedicated to radios only(and xda ftp only has few scattered throughout all folders) so thought i'd put them all in one place to help out people that might be looking for best one for their own network/rom/device. Inside the rar file:
Radio versions:
2.17.11
2.19.11
2.21.11
2.24.11
2.25.11
2.37.11
2.40.11
2.47.11
2.61.11
2.69.11
2.71.11
Updater (folder contains tested and working ROM updater v2.5.2 (for wizard-no ID))
Directions for use:
1) download and unrar Radios.rar file (password xda)
2) Copy nk.nbf file from the chosen radio folder into updater folder(overwrite if another is in there already)
3) Ran Updater.exe and follow instructions on the screen
4) To see the radio version you have go to Start -> Settings -> System tab -> Device information
All radios contain radios only so they will work with G3/G4 devices and any ROM that you already have installed(TNT/SVI). Updater will not let you proceed if your battery is below 50%(done for your own safety).
If you have Radio that is not on my list please post a link or send it to me and i will update

Sounds good
Good job Men it must be stickied!!!
Remember to said what is the only ROGERS Radio!!! from canada it dont works on most of the other carriers.

This should Definitely be stickied!!
And thanks for hunting them all down!
but i agree with + Que PPC, you should edit your post and list which one's were for each carrier, like 2.19 = Tmobile stock, 2.25 = Cingular/ATT stock, ect ect for atleast which one's we know of for sure
Thanks again ^^

unfortunatly i have no idea for brands since i found them all over the net and this forum, what i can vouch for is that they are what they say they are, i checked all of them on my wizard when was searching for missed calls issue

yes
You can find which one is for Only ROGERS users on TNT roms thread

I found the link on tnt thread you referring to(Rogers only radio) but it seems to be cooked into the TNT ROM, is this the one you referring to: http://rapidshare.com/files/114486530/TNT.19213_Professional_Ragers_Wizard.rar???
Cant check whats inside since i am on my wizard on the plane now and this file is 55mb

I heard that there are newer radios for wizard that are in 3.xx range now, anyone have one of those?

Only thing i do and you apparently missed it, its in the link and its 2.19
is 2.71.11 still the latest radio available? no 73.73.79 yet?

Hi,
Yesterday I installed the 02.71.11 rom from your collection which seems to work OK up to now. But today I saw that T-mobile (my provider) also provides a radio rom update to 02.71.11 (link). I compared the 2 binary files and they seem to be different. Any clue what the difference could be?

GPS Help

Sorry for asking I am sure it's a simple mistake. I am trying to get GPS working on my vx6800 no luck....
Do I have to have a Data Plan (I do Not) I just wanted it to work through wifi...
TIA,
LVC

GPS will work w/o a data plan - it is a separate chip, no need for Wifi either. Many threads here on GPS activation.
This is a good starting point:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470418
I'm currently running DCD 3.3.4 and Radio 3.42.50. You will need to know what version of WinMobile you are starting from - if it is Verizon's latest 6.1 (MR1) the instructions are different then if you are starting with WM6.0. Refer to the thread above and that should get you started...

Yes I believe I have read most of the threads and followed the instructions to the letter. Using Google maps I get 0 satallites and occasionally will get a no GPS found.
I am running WM 6 MR1 on a stock verizon vx6800

Look here about getting GPS working without data(standalone GPS). I talk about the steps in the thread below. It requires you to flash a custom ROM like DCD.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=52683

the post I followed said update to MR1 then use the VahallaGPS....using the WIKI instructions her (the MR1 at bottom of page)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix

DO NOT DO AGPS FIX. This will not work for standalone gps. Follow my above posted link. Verizon MR1 locks out standalone GPS so. You will have to reflash to old stock rom then to a custom rom then change gps settings. Trust me I tried to make it work for a long time.

rats...that's what I get for following directions (hehe). So can you recommend how I can save all my settings and whatnot? I just got it back to where I want it with my custom sw HTC home Ultimate Launch etc.
LVC

Not sure how to back things up since you will have a different ROM on the phone I don't think there are any backup options. But I could be completely wrong.

Well i am a complete noob and flashing a custom rom scares me a bit...Would you say that it is safe and fairly straightforward? Is it worth it just to get GPS working?
Thanks for all your help.

I love GPS with Navizon and Garmin XT. Yes it is worth it. Using a well tested ROM like DCD 3.3.4 is safe. After you relock the phone with the old stock Rom then just follow a good unlocking thread like here.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33857
Just ignore the cooking your own ROM and install DCDs. Follow DCD instructions here ignoring the 3.2.6 download and downloading 3.3.4 or his new 4.1.0.
