I have another, less harsh theory. It's that no one had a useful suggestion for you until HDUBLI came along and offered advice. Or, your problem has been experienced by others and based on reading the forum and a little experimentation on your part, you could have solved it.
Rather than lash out at everyone because they didn't overwhelm you with solutions, you should be thankful these forums exist in the first place.
If you are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with the risks and issues associated with ROM flashing, I suggest you stick with what your carrier provided. This is a friendly and sharing forum, but you won't make any friends by bearing unreasonable expectations and criticizing.
Glad your issue was resolved.

I can't get it to work. I flashed succesfully CUSTOM_RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe and CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe but afterwards with both ROMS when I try to flash 2.08 Qtek test ROM, it goes nicely all the way to colors screen and then stops with "error [296] upgrade only".
I noticed that SPL stayed 2.17 after both ROMS, is it the reason 2.08 won't go through?

search forum carefuly...you hv to CID Unlock everytime.I hv been doing this...Pls try and post here

Hdubli I bow down to you, you teh guru
I flashed Button's ROM and then ran cid-unlock with aWizard 1.2. After that I succesfully flashed Qtek 2.08 ROM. Thanks for the help, man!

Want to go back to qtek9100 1.1.7.5 9/22/05 ROM

Hdubli,
I have a bit of a similar problem here. I have a Qtek9100 with the ROM Version: 1.1.7.5 ROM date: 09/22/05.
Recently, I upgraded to AKU rom, but I see that this rom is unstable and gives me problems with wifi which used to work flawlessly on my original rom. I just want to go back to the 1.1.7.5 ROM.
In your post, you asked to flash a CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe rom and then CIDunlock and then flash old rom. My question is,
1. is this Custom rom the actual qtek9100 1.1.7.5 Rom ? If yes then I can just do this step.
2. If not, then you said that I need to CID unlock. Would cid unlocking void the warranty.
3. Further, if I cid unlock, do you know where do I find the installer for qtek 1.1.7.5 ROM, dated 9/22/05.
I know lot of questions here, but i would really appreciate any help on these.
Please advise.

Still looking for button 1.05
That link doesnt work either. I have looked all over this site for this button 1.05 and I always get this Error 550 Failed to change directory message...
Its 6 in the morning for me now in paris. I give up for now. But I have crashed my spv 3000 trying to downgrade it with a link somebody gave at some point on this site. I think I can just put back the 2.17 IPL and SPl Roms I have. But its a real bother. Anyone can help, so I can do this CID unlock., and then and only then pgrade my rom...

That file you were given is good. ROM files are no longer posted here per M$'s request.
Typically when the install "hangs" it due to a problem with the PC, spyware would be my first guess. Also it's amazing what deleting your Windows temp files and running a CHKDSK /F can do. Try with another PC.
btw, there's a couple of good tutorials that deal with unlocking G3 devices ..
Good luck.

Did you use the method in my sig? Please do it again, slowly, each step. I've personally unlocked around 60 G3 8125 and MDA's this way... never not it not work.

I did read it, followed everything. I was able to upgrade it to the t-mob rom 2.26, I have a G3 8125. With the WM5 AKU3.3 file do i just run the updateutility from there and it should upgrade the rom? Or do I have to put one of thise files on my phone? Should I extract it? I'm not very good at this stuff as you can tell. If you can just tell me how to upgrade a cooked rom that will be so well appreciated.
Thanks for the quick responses also.

If you got all the T-Mobile crap when you installed that 2.26 I'd think you were OK. For fun download the latest Faria ROM at ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/faria-roms/ ... I'm running the 8MB as we speak.
Good luck!

Thanks for the link Now with this do i copy it to my device? I saved it, should I have just opened it? How do i install it now? Sorry if I'm being a pain, I just really want to get this working. Thanks

You know what the totally histerical thing about this is? This is the exact same reason I made my first post. LOL.
Alright I'm gonna try to help you seeing as how it doesn't look like too many others are looking here.
I have several questions first before I can help you.
1. Who is your wireless service provider? IE: T-Mobile, Cingular, Etc...
2. What Is your IPL/SPL?
Answer these 2 questions for me and I will be able to better help you.

Thanks for the quick reponse
Now the irony is i am here in nepal and i use the phone as a simple mobile phone, but as far as i know i remember flashing a T-Mobile ROM while upgrading to WM6, the IPL and SPL both are 2.26, i unlocked the device while upgrading..
Thanks

Downgraded NBD to Button, then tried to upgrade to Cingular ROM, but getting errors

Have a G3 unlocked Wizard (Cingular 8125).
Have been running different ROMS to see which one I like.
Recently stayed with NBD 8.0 for a while.
Last week battery went to heck, apparantly during a reflashing.
Probably due to the battery, I could never reflash and would always get
stuck in bootscreen @ 98%, no matter how long I charged the battery
(using stock charger and battery in-phone.)
I purchased a cradle battery charger and a new battery from ebay (which works great BTW).
Now I can flash... I think.
I managed to flash in "Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102" and my phone works.
I even got caught up on my voicemails. But every time I try to
upgrade to stock Cingular or T-Mobile, the RUU says incorrect ?nk.nbf? file.
(The actual ROM file).........What gives?
This is what comes up upon bootup.
ipl-1.01
spl-1.01
gsm-1.12.10.0
os-1.5.4.2
I'm using an XP machine with ActiveSync 4.5. Never had a problem
re-flashing before. I tried looking through the threads without success.
Any help would be appreciated.

i was going to say try that xda mini rom. thats what fixed my problem , then i was able to flash a tmobile rom. then tne wm6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 I used this thread. try the tmobile rom on g3.7

It may be the RUU you are using. Try flashing the Cingular rom using one of the RUUs I attached below. I personally have never had this problem before so this is my best suggestion.

Is it possible that somehow it got re-locked????
Also, evrytime I try to upgrade out of 1.05 ROM the RUU process stops at 85% and then says nk.nbf not for this PDA.

No, except you didn't have a successful CID-unlock (e.g. Unlock when IPL and SPL is 2.xx, and flashed to WM6 using ShellTool, then you think that you have been unlocked, which is actually not)

Update: Even though I haven't been able to load the official Cingular ROM or
the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM, I HAVE been successful in loading NBD 8.0.
I DON'T GET IT!!!!! Why would NBD load but official carrier ROMs get stuck at 85%?
Although my G3 is is currently working again, I'll still do some more experimenting.
I don't know what an extended ROM is, but I wonder if mine was corrupted
during the power failure when attempting to downgrade last week from NBD to Cingular?
I'll post my results hoping this will help others.
Edit: An hour later- I tried another official WM5 ROM form HTC, no dice. Froze @ 85%
just like the other WM5 Official ROMs. On a hunch, I tried to install the newest NBD 9.2.
IT WORKED! WHY can I install NBD ROMS but not Official WM5 ROMs?
Now the first splash screen is the *dated* green stepped graduated green from 1.05. The current info:
IPL- 2.25
SPL- 2.25
GSM- 02.25.11
OS- 6.0.0.0
Itai! This is tough!
EDIT: OK, it's now 4am and I'm seeing double....
Tried Wizard Service Tool, a very efficient program by mestrini.
Apparantly, my extended ROM was hidden. So the WST unhid it. Now we'll see what this does.

According to WST, there was no pagepool found in WM6 or WM5 location.
Could this be why WM5 updates didn't work?
4:22am, even cat gave up on me...

Sorry if I missed something here, but if you have a CID Unlocked phone and you downgrade back to a 1.xx IPL/SPL, then you will be CID Locked again when you upgrade. Anytime you downgrade to 1.xx you have to redo the CID Unlock process while you are down there before going back to IPL/SPL 2.xx or higher.
So redo going back to the Button rom, do the lokiwiz unlock, make sure both IPL/SPL are 1.xx (so you may have to flash button a couple of times) then upgrade to Cingular, T-Mo or whatever official 2.xx rom.

Page Pool is set in ROM image, not hard-coded in hardware.

Didn't work. I'm certain I'm unlocked, both by lokiwiz program saying so and
Wizard Service Tool saying so. After the unlock I was successfully able to
load NBD 8.0 & NBD 9.2 ROMs, but not the official T-Mo/Cingular WM5 ROMs.
WST found the pagepool completely missing in both WM5 & WM6 sectors.
The extended ROM was also hidden. Both of those items have been corrected
so later today I'll redo the entire process just to make sure all is well.

Thanks. More clues to this puzzle!

Try flashing the empty extented rom. Most new roms don't have extended roms, so if your extended rom is corrupt it may be keeping wm5 to load. Which explains why NBD roms work.

Thanks, I just now tried this approach. I used mestrini's Wizard Service Tool to 'format' the extended rom. As of this moment I've just downgraded to Button 1.05 ROM and going to use lokiwiz's unlocker.

There is a rom out that will flash an empty extended rom without changing anything else.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42076&d=1182515673

I have formatted the extended rom.
Then I tried to redo the Button-->Unlock-->T-Mo 2.26.
Still process stops at 85% when installing T-Mo ROM!!!
Also, the splash screen doesn't seem to be working?

How long are you waiting when its at 85%. I've had them stay at 85 % for over 5 minutes before.
I would recommend flashing ---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42076&d=1182515673

???
in my opinion it is a waste of time to downgrade to flash a new/original rom...i've flashed about 100 or so roms since late 2005, multiple devices, jumping from carrier rom to latest wm5/6 builds..never had an error.
Do what you like of course, im just saying save 10 mins and flash straight to whatever you're wanting to try. goodluck and happy flashing
BTW like I said before... for those of you with dual/quad core procs, try putting the romupdateutility.exe on real-time priority and check it, I flash in roms in less than 3 mins, everytime, no errors

Is there a correct method for using those files? I installed them to the Wizard's Windows/ Startup directory & rebooted. They sorta ran, but when I checked the extended ROM with WST, it reported the extended ROM was empty =)
Now I'll go around again Button 1.04-->Lokiwiz Unlock-->T-Mo 2.26

Good point... HOW long are you waiting. If you are doing an RUU, you should just let it run. Official roms will "Hang" at 85%, and I've had them hang for over 5mins before also, but they always finish.
As someone used to post, you should start the RUu, then head to the kitchen, go get coffee, a snack, whatever. Just ignore the flashing process until its done...

Very well said. Lol. It's true though. If you just ignore it, it will seem to go faster. I noticed the same thing too. If you are flashing an official rom, it will almost always stop at 85%, sometimes for a long time... Just let it go and it should eventually finish.
