Wizard means your phone. The Wizard is a generic name (rather, HTC's code name) for all similar phone, like Vario, XDA miniS, K-Jam, and ... Qtek9100. Read the front Wiki.

Hey everybody,
for some reasons I got big problems with reimporting my old contacts to WM6. So, now I need to downgrade my Trion to WM5 in order to export them in some other way.
But it seems there is no wm5-cab available on the net anymore. My only hope: Does anybody still got a wm5-cab floating around which he could upload for me?
Help is very welcome! Thx
OK, so without getting into details and insults, there are a couple things about your post that lead me to believe that you lack some of the basic knowledge / experience you will need to do this.
SO, see THIS LINK for your WM5 ROMs (note that they will not be cab files).
AND, I strongly suggest you see THIS LINK for downgrade flashing instructions.
thx todd,
don't worry about insulting me, because you're absolutely right: I do have some basic knowledge about PPCs, but I totally lack the experience of any downgrading or stuff like that.
I'm very grateful for you reply and I will carefully read the instructions. hopefully it will all go well...
thanks a lot!!!
Oh Boy!!!!
We should have a Hall Of Fame for posts .... this would be tops!!!
cool....
I have a hurricane and i would like to upgrade it to WM6.1..
But now i want a guide! Because the last time i just did it, i bricked it.. The SPL flash went wrong and now the hurricane is dead.. completely dead.. But unfortunally i have another one i wish to try it on but i need an exact guide..
And then i suspect my other hurricane to be some kind of prototype.. I flashed the "patched_ruu" and it went fine but after that i just got a white screen and now the device dosn't work.. I have tried to get help but as it seems it is not repairable.. So i would like to know if the device i have is a "genuine" hurricane? How can i check that?
The other hurricane i had was not branded.. Nothing was stated on the cover.. The one i want to flash now is branded "Qtek 8200" and the splash screen says "Test Only - Not for sale"
Can somebody help me here ? Iam afraid to brick this device too !
Guys damned i need some help here !
There are more than enough upgrade guides. Just look into the longer WM5 or WM6 threads and make sure that the ROM you downloaded really is intended for your device. Don't just assume and better check twice. HTC devices have confusingly many codenames and are sold under dozens of different brand names. Even some people writing guides confuse one or the other model.
Sorry, I know this is the answer you just didn't want. But reading the threads provides just the kind of information you need if you don't want to brick the second phone.

Dirk

I assumed it was a rom intended for my device, cause the rom i downloaded was in the WM6 from this forum.. The guide in the thread i found isn't very desciptive.. Others have downloaded and got it to work on their device but somehow i did something wrong OR it could be because my device was a sample.
No one with a little spare time ?
Hi all!!!
Fist of all Im Not insulting anybody... This is for our BENEFIT.
After some post and time, in XDA general forum Im exposing this problem:
We have too much BRICKED Devices in wizard forums, cause our devices have too DOC CHIP Flash versions inside and the people dont reads enough information, to know where to go and ask whatever they think. So We suggest a solution... when somebody register on the forum it must be some fill spaces about his device like ours... but it is imposible!!! and they are right, the reason is We cant obligate everybody to do this, even if is an important Info to avoid damages.
So... Flar (MOD) told me that we can get a Stickie Thread to let knows to everybody in wizard forums to fill their signature with the information we need to answer their questions, its a great Idea!!!!
So the hope is the last thing to die....
PLEASE EVERYBODY FILL YOUR SIGNATURE WITH YOUR DEVICE INFO
So let me tell you what Info is important to fill in:
Device Model Provided if not in front cover under the battery in the label that say the IMEI and serial (If you want the name that carriers use, I think is not important but i see some people wit his HTC UNIVERSAL using Roms for wizards!!!) BRICKED PDA!!!
IPL and SPL version, provided by a softreset on the second screen(this info is shown on the second splash screen when device boots)
Radio version provided too in the second splash screen (when the phone starts or boot after the softreset under the name GSM!)
OS Version its shown again in the second splash screen (are just number like 1.0.0.0. or something like that)
The Rom you are currently using, Developer and Windows mobile version too, give to the chefs his fame and reputation too!!! they deserve lots of congrats even the ROM is ugly... cause it costs too much than a bricked device. if you have an original ROM please provide the link to it and all the info.
CID/SIM locked or unlocked SuperCID(G3), softSPL or HardSPL (G4) if you never do the unlock process on tutorial... You Are locked!!!
Its important that you read carefully the wiki Cause it has so much informatino like knowing about your DOC CHIPSET G3 or G4 (IPL, SPL can do it too) there is some Faq Manual if you can read a little too.
IF you got any question or suggest PM me you can found ME around Here.
Thanks To all!!!!! and mods to let me put this Stickie on every Topic in wizard forums.
Thanks to all the new members that recah his limits just for revives his devices or upgrade his devices we are here for help y'all.
Thanks to all Seniors, Administrators and Moderators for support our forum...
Im kinda MISS UNIVERSE????!!!!!
See on the upper lever bar of this web it says... USER CP click it and then on the Left bar see the option Signature... to edit your info
Just if you dont know what am I talking about.
So I don't know much about this stuff, the extent of my knowledge is how to get a .cab on my phone and install something like Manilla 2D on my HTC Touch Dual(model no.: NEON400).
I saw this thread: ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567027
which is pretty much what I am asking.
Can so please give a more detailed tutorial on how to do all of this stuff about HardSPL and Radio and stuff? If you need to know what rom I am looking at putting on my phone it is this one:

Sorry for being such a newb but I just don't want to **** up my phone.
*PS: I had to remove the h on the url due to the new member link restriction.
-Please use the 'Search' function first, and check the manuals already made available for the Niki.
-First read the manuals completely and follow the steps meticulously..!
-Before posting your questions, remember that everything you need to know, to flash your device, is probably already made available for you on the board.
-Take your time to find out what you need to know before you flash your device, or you 'will' brick it..!
I can't hspl my Neon400 using the same things as used for the Nike, I've tried and it does not work so this thread is obsolete. But thank you for acknowledging my trouble and taking the time to try to help.
First, I hope this is the correct forum for this request. If it isn't please tell me where to move it to or please move it and tell me where you moved it to so I can keep up with it. I searched the forums but could not find a link. Thanks. Does anyone have a link to a site where I can download WM6 for my AT&T 8525? I love my phone but didn't know that there were places that would help you upgrade it. I didn't even know the WM6 was being offered. I thought it was just for the new phones. Everywhere I look for a download it is no longer available. Anyway if someone can help me I sure would appreciate it.Oh and any instructions on how to do it would also be appreciated. All this talk about boot loader and manager this has me all confused and no I am not blonde just old and worn out. Reply to me at Coinhunter at charter.net please or on here is ok to. I just don't know how often I will get to come to this website.
