ROM updates

Official ROM updates are or were available for several versions of the Wizard, including the Cingular 8125 [17] [18] (AKU 2.2.0), the Dopod 838, [19] the i-mate K-Jam [20] [21] (AKU 2.0.0), the O2 XDA Mini S [22] (AKU 2.0.0), the Qtek 9100 [23] (AKU 2.0.0), the T-Mobile MDA US [24] (AKU 2.3.0), and the T-Mobile MDA Vario. [25] These ROM updates often include a new adaptation kit upgrade which adds features and fixes bugs.

Unofficial and unsupported updates to Windows Mobile 6.5 exist. [26] However, a Wizard must be Carrier Identification (CID) unlocked before flashing to one of these ROMs or flashing to another carrier's ROM (for example, flashing a T-Mobile MDA with a ROM for the Cingular 8125). There are two models of the Wizard: G3 and G4. The procedures for CID and SIM unlocking each model are different. [27] [28] Following the wrong procedure or attempting to flash a Wizard that has not been CID unlocked could result in a permanently inoperable phone.
