Hey Guys

[skezza]

Great looking forum here and great to see all the people offering so much support. Had my Wizard for about a year and now its out of warranty I thought i'd have a play :). Theres obviously a few tutorials to follow before flashing a ROM, but i was just going to say, I regularly get Connection Error while trying to flash other ROM's onto this phone. I tried to flash Schaps WM6 ROM to it, but it said connection error. However I have sucessfully flashed the T-mobile 2.26 ROM twice, therefore I am not sure if its the phone or the rom or what. Do you reckon if i follow those tutorials it will sort the connection error issue, or is that a problem with my PC. I have a few WM6 on my PC, crossbow, helmi, etc etc, so i was wondering which you recommend etc. Thanks very much, hopefully ill be able to input something when i learn a bit more :o

follow the tutorials,
be sure you are cid /sim unlock
only flash roms found in the wizard forum, not on other devices forum, roms are device specific
happy flashing:)

Schaps rom is for HERMES
If you want to brick your PDA, then be bold and try roms designed for other devices, but you will certainly BRICK IT

If you have a HTC Wizard then, just like the man before me said, do the following :



Find out if your device is a G3 or a G4
If it's a G3 CID Unlock it (not same as SIM Unlock !!!). If it's a G4, then check the G4 Forum to see what you can do.
Choose a rom that you like most but make sure that it's designed for WIZARD, so i suggest only search in the Wizard forum.

Ah right, thanks for that guys, im very glad i didnt flash it with a other ROM now. I certainly don't want to brick it, although it is insured for a while so i could happen to drop it :P haha :D

Are there any ROMs you can recommend to me :). I am always up for trying them :D

[skezza]

ok, i think ive CID Unlocked my phone now. Dropped it to Button 1.05 did the lokiwiz bat then dropped it again to bring my SPL down. Ive just put on the t-mobile 2.21 ROM, now am I ready to upgrade to WM6? or do i need to put 2.26 on? Cheers

2.21 should be fine. Now start flashing away. Im warning you though, it is addicting as everything lol.

Go check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320159 .

That is a ROM Kitchen that has pretty much every option you could want in it! Very stable base, and many many options. and if you have any questions, they have probably already been answered in that thread, and if not, "theloon"(the creator) will answer them for ya. Right now its one of the best IMO, and especially for what you are looking for.

hi
As u have still not flashed any wm6 roms as yet, I wud rather suggest first flash and install a couple of cooked roms from others,just to have the feel of them and get used to the newer features added in them. Only when u get urself comfortable with them and understand their working,and above all r successful in flashing roms,inly then start thinking about cooking ur own rom.

There r a couple of very fantastic build Roms by excellent cookers here in this Forum u can start off with e.g
faria's "The real thing Rom",
Mfraaz " Xm6r3"
it's right " Tnt 5 or his Latest Professional+HTC Home"
Xplorer1.1 etc etc
They r all cooked for Wizards specifically.Just search the forum or hit the 'SEARCH' button above,
Welcome to the Flashing lunatics Forum
Happy Flashing ;)

Just put on WM6 TNT1437 and am really impressed. Didnt take long to flash and didnt have any problems with it hanging :) Runs like a beast, dead quick and I am really impressed with this whole cube thing :P it seems a bit of useless fun hehe :D. although there is like a red, yellow and green line at the top of the screen. is that normal?

[skezza]

Okay, I feel a fool :P Thats the battery meter haha :) This is great. Its dead fast and runs a lot smoother. I think i am going to like this whole cooking your own Windows thing :D
Thanks

Glade to hear,that u have upgraded and enjoying it
it's a whole new experience.
If u don't feel comfortable with TouchFLO and the cube,than I'll suggest u flash the other equally excellent Professional + HTC Home Rom,u'll even like it much better.

If u dont want multicolor battery bar(comes by default) at the top,u can disable by open WinXplore then startup folder and remove battery level.lnk (you can use file explorer on the folder windows/startup):D

The Professional + HTC Home. I love it!

[skezza]

Well ill probably be cooking more and more roms now just for fun :D I will try the professional one as well. Whats the benefits out of curiosity? :oThe TouchFLO just looked nice :)
Anywhere I can get voIP as Cab ? :)

[skezza]

also whats the deal about changing skins, is it possible to revert to the standard crossbow skin or even change and customize a new one. this is all so new to me :)

Done and I like :D Now i want to cook my own ROM's make my own skins and get voIP on :D

[elhamy]

[skezza]

Rather than starting a new thread ill ask in this one, has anyone got Farias Camera cab :) Cheers
