Hello,

Can you please tell me what's the last official ROM for the G3 Wizard?
I tried lots of ROMs, WM5, WM6, official, not official, the most stable one was 2.26 from T-Mobile (http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/Software_List.cfm?selDevice=24).

Is there any other official version better than this one? T-mobile, Qtek, I-Mate, I don't care.

Thanks

There seems to be a maintenance release out from T-Mobile here (http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/). I haven't installed it, so I can't comment.

Can you please tell me more about that release?
I don't have a valid T-Mobile number to see what's in there. Maybe you can PM me your phone number?:)

Thanks

When I looked at it further, it looks just like a different path to the 2.26 version. It confused me because it is on the same page as the Dash WM6 upgrade.

No, it is not on the same page! T-Mobile has a 'default' page where you choose your device, then they redirect you from there to the correct software.
In their opinion it might be more 'user friendly' but I think it is confusing: you select your device in first place at the t-mobile site, then they redirect you to the firmware download section and let you select your device again ... strange!

Not in the US. The only one newer than that is a german AKU3.3 ROM from T-Mobile Germany. But I asume you wouldn't like your phone in german ... :D T-Mobile UK has version 2.21 and from other manufacturers (rebadgers) like I-Mate they are even older: 2.17 and lower.

That's too bad !!!

And I assume they won't release any newer ROM right?

At least they did not announce anything - but HTC is always good for a surprise! Even though the T-Mobile MDA is discontinued by T-Mobile there is still a big chance that HTC will release a WM6 version sooner or later (if enough customers are going to bother them!!! :D )

Hell that would be nice, but i cant see them doing it otherwise they have to release more updates when WM6 starts getting AKU updates every other month.

Not really!
As you can see on all that 'public' and 'official' releases: You never get A L L released AKU versions of WM for a device - only a few 'selected' one's.

Could you point me to this ROM?
I'm not a T-Mobile customer and even if I would be, I wouldn't like me phone to be branded. Does installing this rom make my phone pink? That's all I fear :D

I am not sure to which rom in my post you're reffering to! No, it will not make your phone pink! If you ever want it unbranded (well, almost unbranded) make a hard reset and when done with the screen alignment and skipping the password setup just soft reset the device before the CUSTOM ROM gets a chance to install itself automatically!

To be more clear: you will shortly see the today screen and then a message pops up telling you that customization will start in 3 seconds - this is where you should perform the reset ...

Downside:
You will have to manually configure your device for MMS and GPRS.
