Where can i find a good rom for my g4 htc wizard?

[juandlr]

Hi there,

I´m searching for a good wm6 or wm6.1 rom for my qtek a9100 (htc wizard) G4.

Do you know any thread that takes me to them?

I´m new to the smartphone world but i like to think myself as tech capable.

also, do any of you know where to get a copy of my current rom or how to make a backup?

This is the info i get from the WST:

CPU: Texas Instruments - OMAP850
MODEL: Wizard
IMEI: 356379000630937

=> Bootloaders:
IPL: 2.17.0001 (G4 device)
SPL: 2.17.0001 (G4 device)

Radio: 02.49.11

=>Extended_ROM:
Version: 2.22.17.102
Name: Extended_ROM
Status: hidden

=> Firmware:
OS: 5.1.xxx (Build 14928.2.2.0)
ROM: 2.26

Thanks

You should be able to get a ROM from your service provider's website.

As for rest, it's all relative. What's "good" for you isn't necessarily what's "good" for the next guy. What features you want may change depending upon what you learn is available. You might think TouchFlo is the bees knees, whereas I might think a customizable today screen is more energy efficient, and in the end, more useful. You might want to run the latest version of Windows Mobile, but I might be more interested in software stability, and not concerned with having the latest release (officially, there is no WM6 release for Wizard, if you don't already know this). It's a complete matter of taste and personal needs. See? All relative.

You also need to learn the pitfalls before you go bricking your phone, and then start sending those frantic "PLEASE HELP!" posts to the boards. Flashing your phone with a cooked ROM isn't like installing a plugin, or loading Google Maps. It's much more treacherous. Judging by the frequency with which "Please Help!" posts get published, I'd say that 4 out of 5 noobs don't bother reading the Wiki or the sticky threads on these boards before proceeding with a ROM flash. Do yourself a favor and don't be that guy. Do a LOT of reading before you start downloading anything.

Find a good backup tool (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/cms/index.php?q=blogs/3/497) that you like
Load Total Commander CE (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm). Get used to using it. Most ROMs include it as a default, and it's priceless as a file manager and registry editor, combined
Learn about OMAPClock and Smartskey (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=256525) (commonly used to launch the former). If you're planning on flashing to WM6, you're going to want overclocking capabilities at your fingertips, and having extra functions on various keys isn't bad, either!


This list is by no means comprehensive. This is just the "Getting Started" homework you should be doing. An informed geek makes better choices for himself than anyone else can make for him/her.

This was an awesome reply... im still a bit newbie here on the G4 side. Upgraded to Win mob 6.0 and 6.1 with no hassle on my g3... Kinda easy! just used wizard service tool, did cid-unlock and loaded the rom! even the radio upgrade is easy! :D

but i've read a lot of stuff also...
