This isn’t in any way new at all. Most of the windows mobile operated device have already started to be shipped with windows mobile 6. In the event that you still got windows mobile 5 though, I figured I’ld give the hook up. That and someone asked me to do this personally, and he’ s a elder tech head so here it is.
First thing you wanna do in the event that you don’t wanna through your life in turmoil by loosing all your contact information, tasks, and schedule information is BACKUP. SYNC YOUR POCKET PC RIGHT NOW. You may change the sync settings and choose what you would wish to save example you only want information and not files and so on.
inserted recently *sorry had a memory laps because i had done this wayyy before wm6*
1 - Unzip lokiwiz.zip to somewhere in your computer
2 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard
3 - Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish
4 - Guarantee that your phone is connected via activesync with the computer
5 - Execute lokiwiz.bat
*end insert*

I’ve got a lot of post behind my name, but most of my posts are answers to the same questions over and over again. It seems very hard for “noobs” to find the answer to their question quickly on the forum. I quickly wrote a little step by step tutorial for them. Hope it helps!
Suggestions or corrections are always welcome.
You want to flash your wizard, but don’t know where to start. Try this:
0. First determine if you got a G3 or a G4 device. When you turn on your device from can can see you’re IPL and SPL version on the screen. If you got IPL/SPL 1.xx or 2.xx you’ve got a G3 device. If the IPL/SPL shows 2.xx.xxx1 you’ve got a G4. Go to step G3.1 if you got a G3 and G4.1 if G4.
G3.1 Does you’re device start normally? YES… go to step G3.5, NO go to step G3.2
G3.2 Turn off you’re device totaly. Remove the SD card and disconnect the USB cable from you’re device. Turn on the device while holding the camera button. You will get into bootloader mode (3 colored screen). Connect the USB cable to the computer and you will see USB at the bottom of your screen above the left softkey (Activesync will not connect in bootloader mode, but you can flash from this screen!). If you got IPL/SPL 1.xx go to G3.3. If you got 2.xx go to G3.4
G3.3 Download button rom and flash it to your device. Your device should startup again after doing this. Go to G3.5.
G3.4 Download wizard_love rom and flash it to your device. Your device should startup again after doing this. Go to G3.5.
G3.5 Is your device CID-unlocked (note: it’s not the same as SIM-unlocked!)? YES… go to step G3.7, NO OR DON’T KNOW go to step G3.6.
G3.6 Follow this great thread by Dr Puttingham: The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards. Don’t skip step 17! Flash the T-Mobile 2.26 Rom! Go to step G3.8 if you got the T-Mobile rom with IPL/SPL 2.26 on your device after doing this.
G3.7 Download T-Mobile 2.26 rom and flash it to your device! Done? Go to step G3.8.
G3.8 You’re reade to flash the AKU2, AKU3, WM6 rom of you’re choise! It wasn’t that hard, was it? If you still got an older OS version after flashing then you’re not CID-unlocked! Go back to start!
————————————
G4.1 Does you’re device start normally? YES… go to step G4.4, NO go to step G4.2
G4.2 Turn off you’re device totaly. Remove the SD card and disconnect the USB cable from you’re device. Turn on the device while holding the camera button. You will get into bootloader mode (3 colored screen). Connect the USB cable to the computer and you will see USB at the bottom of your screen above the left softkey (Activesync will not connect in bootloader mode, but you can flash from this screen!). go to G4.3
G4.3 Download wizard_love rom and flash it to your device. Your device should startup again after doing this. Go to G4.4.
G4.4 Is your device CID-unlocked (note: it’s not the same as SIM-unlocked!)? YES… go to step G4.6, NO OR DON’T KNOW go to step G4.5. (note: CID-unlocking a G4 is only possible by paying for it at imei-check!)
G4.5 Follow this great thread by mun_rus: Solutuion found: how to flash any rom to CIDLOCKED DEVICE. If your device won’t start after flashing you can use step G4.2 and G4.3 and try again. Also look at this thread by eddieitman: Faria G4 Step by step installer with instructions to make sure you did all the necessary steps!
G4.6 You’re reade to flash the AKU2, AKU3, WM6 rom of you’re choise IF the rom DOESN’T contain IPL/SPL. AKU3 and WM6 roms normally don’t contain IPL/SPL. If you want to flash an AKU2 rom, make sure you take the G4 version. If you get an error 300 (invalid update tool) while trying to flash your device look at this thread!

After syncing you’ll need to download Windows mobile 6 rom make sure your windows mobile device is lets say over 70% battery charge and then your basically ready. Plug your device in but this time its not for syncing, Once connected run the windows mobile 6 rom you just downloaded It’ll run the flash operation and delete everything on your device will be totally deleted (your memory card will be safe). After completed the device should restart and your good to go. Run through the setup and all will be well. This version comes with a few extra applications and also comes with an install folder in the programs. The folder consists of the java midlet manager, the mms composer (this must be installed to the device for it to work) and a few others. In essense the underground edition has been stripped down but all the original contents are available for install if you so desire. It also comes with total comander so you can do whatever you want with any file on your device (at your own risk of course) and my favorite application TCMP - the core media player which is basically a version of vlc or mplayer on your pocket pc.
Hope this helps happy flashing
*nb* : this rom was used on my qtek 9100 and worked flawlessly i do not know if it will work any different with your windows mobile device if it differes from a qtek 9100 / mda / htc wizard you proceed with this flash at your own risk. it is pretty straight forward and you should have no problem.
