I just got my new Cingular 8125/Wizard last week from my friend and found out about XDA developers and was intrigued with what I can do with my new device. I figured out how to flash the new WM6 onto my phone to replace the laggy WM5. Now that I have had this ROM for long enough, I'd like to change to a new ROM that I've found. Also, this new ROM is a different version of WM6. I don't know if I'm supposed to downgrade first or just start loading a new ROM on? If I am supposed to downgrade, how do I do it and what is the best program to use. Thanks in advance,
Brock

Start in the Wizard wiki (check link on top of page) where you'll find a lot of info to help you know your device; there are two generations of them. You can also get my tool - WST (check my signature) which will also help you.
Also pay attention to the stickies as they have valuable guides ;)
good luck and welcome

Thank you. I have a G4 Wizard by the way. I looked through a lot of forums and through the Wizard Wiki and couldn't find how to flash a new ROM after on WM6, only on how to flash from the original WM5. I looked at WST and I'm a little confused. I'm not sure what it is or how to use it? Also, my phone is CDI unlocked. Also, what is the program WizardLove and what does it do? I see all the talk about it and I don't understand it.

No. You don't understand (or you didn't look carefully).
G4 Wizard CANNOT be CID unlocked with free software.
Head to the G4 subforum and look the stickies carefully,
First flash with your original carrier ROM, then use either SoftSPL or HardSPL to flash another version of WM6.

Ok what I meant is I flashed the HardSPL onto my G4. I'm on Cingular so what exactly is my original carrier rom and where do I find it? I already used HardSPL, do I need to do it again? Thanks again for everyones help. After I get this once, I won't have any more trouble

Ahh, you should have started by saying that you already knew what device you have and that already applied the HardSPL patch :rolleyes:
Now, as long as you flash "G4 safe" ROMs (without IPL/SPL), you can try as many as you'd like. If you had used SoftSPL that would require to do it everytime you flashed a new ROM
