warnning; does not work with g4 wizards!!!!!
this steps are to cid unlock and also to unlock sim in the folowing devices; qtek 9100, i-mate k-jam, mda vario, orange spv m3000, o2 xda mini s, dopod 838, Cingular 8125
first; you must make a full backup of you wizard before doing this , I personally use [wizBackup.exe] posted below for my backups and restores. This is not mandatory but could save an enormous amount of trouble.
I as most people with a wizard with the aku2 rom found out that it cannot be cid unlock with lokiwiz tool, you will get the following;{error:itwritedisk-an internal error occurred}.
. that is till now.
downgrade rom here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7696581/htc%20wizard/CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
note- this steps is for unlocking the cid of the wizard with aku2 rom.
how to cid. unlock all wizard variants ( that have the latest rom build )
first download custom__ruu_wizard_1050412_wwe_101_11210_wwe. rom from the ftp site from the above link, unpack it and just click the romupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe to start downgrading. Simply follow the prompts.
after the rom are loaded go thru the initial setup as you would with any rom.
now download the (lokiwiz02b) from here;
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7696581/htc wizard/CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
Make sure you unzip lokiwiz to the root o the c: drive.
please copy the whole lokiwiz folder to the root of the drive,not the contentents of the folder!!!!!
and follow the instructions .do not forget to copy the cab file(enable rapi) to your device and run it before running lokiwiz.
Now run lockiwiz and unlock your machine, your machine will reboot itself. if yoy see an eroot while unlocking that says;
..............................................................................................................................................................................
CopyFileToTFFS(cidunlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.
this means that you device not been unloked......try again............
.................................................................................................................................................................................
That’s it your wizard is unlocked. Make sure yew keep the [lock_backup.bin] in a safe place you may need it for guaranty purposes.
Now flash the latest aku2 rom from your provider.- [very important,to avoid future problems wit rom updates]
then u can flash any rom you want.
question: if i cid unlock and sim unlock my phone (after installing custom 1.5 wwe rom) and then i install latest aku2 i-mate italian rom, will the sim unlock (and cid one too) be preserved?
Answer: i can confirm that that upgrading to the latest aku2 rom the wizard remains cid unlocked.
Special thanks to the author of the above cooked rom [button] also to machinagod for the lokiwiz tool and joninla for finding the downgrade rom, molski for is input and everyone that contributed to the cause.
do not try to downgrade using an older wizard rom other than the one posted above it will not work
also this {how to} is for the htc wizard only it may work with other devices but i don’t know, so if you turn you device into a brick do not blame me. use it at your own risk
if you device is from a operator like: 02, orange etc... You will void your guaranty unlocking cid, but don’t despair, if you keep the [lock_backup.bin] file that the lockiz tool generated you can restore cid to factory default.
this proccess only needs to be done once in the wizards lifetime.
Enjoy;

donate if you like my work

it may be possible,if you have an old custom rom for your device ,found this;
On the one hand, HTC Prophet is a complete copy (both software and hardware are meant) of HTC Wizard. On the other hand, it's equal to HTC Magician in appearance. That is why today review will be quite short, we will only discuss external elements and a new camera, all other aspects were highlighted in the review of HTC Wizard.
http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-prophet-en.shtml
Hi Faria, thank you for your HowTo!
Now i know the wizard remains CID unlocked after the upgrade and that's good. I only hope that it stays SIM unlocked too.
Bye
Sadly, cant move back to older rom... keep getting error message saying the nk.nbf file is not valid/older than your current file.
I guess we just have to wait for an updated version of Lockiwiz

sorry
I told you Faria that it can be done
Great that it worked out okay, I can imagine how happy you are feeling right now
Nice how-to by the way.
mm..i am currently using T-mobile MDA Vario with the original rom
is that mean i don't have to apply it to unlock the cid?
i just use the lokiwiz 2b to unlock the CID, after it, even i upgrade to the newest rom e.g. the new O2 rom, my CID still remain unlock?

good, really thx~~^_^
Can someone please help me out my friend told me he got WM6 working on his T-Mobile MDA, and i'm using a 2.26 ROM I got from here a while back
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
He sent me : T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2261020_226_22511_ENG_US.exe
I ran this and apparently that's how I got the version i'm running now, I forgot which I had pervious, but I ran that, everything went smooth, it ran autoconfig etc, CID unlocked beforehand, and then i got CB-AIRAF.exe from here and then I ran it, it updated and completed, but when the phone boots up it is WM5.. it then says please wait 3 seconds to customize, then it puts up an error message reading "\Windows\AutoConfig.exe Not found" or something similar, and then that app closes, and the phone is bare bones WM5.. why the heck isn't Wm6 installing? it's very frustrating.. someone bare with me and help me figure this out i'd be greatly appreciated.
If it's easier to contact me via AIM.. my SN is Cynth3tik
You apparently aren't CID Unlocked. Do the CID Unlock procedure at the top of this forum. Then make sure you flash the official TMobile ROM again to get back to IPL/SPL 2.26. Then upgrade to teh Faria rom.
The official tmobile rom.. i'm not sure which that is or where i get it from.. is that the cooked tmobile rom file i have ?

That is the official TMobile US ROM, the one that is recommended as a baseline ROM.

ok i've done that now i can attempt to install the Faria rom ?
No. As I said, I think you are CID locked and thats why the update failed before. You now have to go through the steps of CID Unlocking. Please go to the top of this forum and find the Sticky by Dr. Putingham that is on how to CID Unlock your phone (title starts like [Read First]). Follow that step by step (line by line). Don't skip anything. You will downgrade, run a tool, downgrade again, and then upgrade back to this TMobile ROM. After all that, then you should be good to go for doing Faria's (or any other custom ROM). Once you CID Unlock you shouldn't have to do it again (unless you ever go back to a 1.x ROM at some point).
ok guys i followed the forum on how to unlock.. i installed the buttons rom, then CID unlocked, then put the official TMO rom on, then installe the Faria Crossbow, it worked !
BUT... the screen where it says tap the screen to set it up.. i tap it and it does NOTHING, as if its froze, i restarted it, same thing :-( any ideas?
EDIT: SRRY! i pulled the battery out and put it back in and it works! thanks for all the help guys!
Might anyone know why if i had a contact with a picture stored for them, i backed up/synced to Outlook 2007 before the upgrade to wm5, and outlook has the pics stored just fine, but when i sync with wm6, all my contacts sync except for ones with pictures...any ideas ?
Glad you made it to WM6, and able to figure out your issue with the screen.
As for pic contacts not sync'ing I'm not sure. I don't sync with outlook (I use SyncML with my company calendar) and my pic contacts all did fine that way from WM5 to WM6.
Hello everybody,
I bought a P4350 from Spain a few days ago and "unfortunately" the Spanish HTC Official WM6 upgrade was already installed on it. This means that my phone is CID Unlocked so I cannot install an English WM6 version. (I tried to, but in vain...).
I've tried several WM5 device CID unlocking methods, but they all failed.
Can anyone help me?
Unfortunately there is not much information on the web for HTC Herald CID Unlocking as there is for other HTC's (Wizard, Hermes,...)...
HardSPL is CID unlock
or you can USPL an english RUU without the SPL.nbh
or you could just USPL/HSPL a custom rom
ok i'm gonna check for more information about "USPLing an english RUU without the SPL.nbh" on the web.
If you have any pertinent link to provide, it would be useful for me.

this is your one free link. Welcome to XDA-devs
you can start by tellings us your IPL/SPL versions
hold camera button while u power on, give u a tricolor-screen with a numbers
IPL 4.17.0002
SPL 4.17.0000
I couldn't hardSPL my Herald...
I was finally able to change my ROM thanks to your link!
I'm wondering if there is a ROM including the latest features of HTC diamond for Herald devices.
I've been searching, but if anyone has a link it would be helpful.
Thanks.
I found two different ROMs that include the Touch Dialer (which I find to be a very interesting feature).
Both ROMs included only an NBH file which had to be copied to my micro-sd card. Then I would run my Herald in bootloader-mode so that my device recognizes the file and perform the installation. But it does not.
I don't know what I should do to let my device detect the new ROM file...
I tried copying the NBH file to the RUU Folder of the Flash center and ran it, but it doesn't work either...

Yes a G3 8125 Needs to be unlocked and you'll find all the guides on the forum there are no better guides than those coz they are written by professionals. TC
step 1 download this file rar password is - scousemartin
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
step 2 - flash the button love rom inside the rar file you just downloaded
step 3- run lokiwiz to unlock your device. Once that is done you can flash any rom, you can flash the at&t rom or the xda o2 rom i have included in the rar file ( the o2 rom was put in there as it was for my own use)
If you flash any official rom ,you will need to CID unlock it with lokiwiz ,the next time you try to flash it, as the official roms will CID lock the device again.

NOT TRUE! Once a device is CID unlocked it remains like that permanently!
Unlock tools write "11111111" to the CID location while RUUs never touch it. Only with WST you can write any CID value to the area again.
still no luck, ive disabled the windows firewall like one of the guides on here said, i had an active sync connection as guest, i downloaded that rar file and ran the button rom, and still i get the error 260. after i start the rom it crashes active sync i hear the disconnect sound, then the phone turns off and i have to do the recovery thing. i havent seen any weird colors either, i've heard ppl get a three color screen or something. but mine just turns on and i have to take the battery out and try all over again
Mods! plz check this out.
problem solved, i never realized that i still had my storage card in the phone, after i took it out everything went smooth
Hello all,
I recently inherited an HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125), IPL/SPL 2.25 (So its a G3 right?) running WM5. Ive been doing a lot of reading over the last week or so and have decided that this phone is just too boring as is.
Ive been looking over all of the roms/themes that I can find to spice it up and have narrowed it down to a few. But before I start messing with it, I have decided to run it by all of you and get your opininons.
From what I understand, before I can load any roms, I need to CID unkock the phone, which will require me to first load the Button 1.05 Rom (can I load the Button Rom with the phone locked?). Then I will run Lokiwiz02b to unlock it. Reload Button 1.05 if IPL/SPL are not both 1.05. Then load the T-Mobile 2.26 for a solid foundation. (I will be working step by step off Dr. Puttingham's Definitive Guide to Unlocking and Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards.)
If my process above is incorrect, please let me know. I will hate to brick a phone I just got.
Next I am considering which rom to install. I really like TouchFlo and am strongly considering TNT Pro, SNN Diamond and Black Diamond 3.1. I want this phone to have a sleek interface and lots of functionality (extras) and it needs to be quite bug free; if it crashes everytime I try some routine task it will not be worth doing.
Here are the files that I have and how I will use them.
Wizard_Button_Rom.exe
-I will run this first to downgrade my current rom to 1.05.
-I will likely run it again after the CID unlocking to match IPL/SPL @ 1.05.
lokiwiz02b.zip
-This is run after the Button Rom as per instructions from Dr. Puttingham to CID Unlock the phone.
ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship. exe
-This is the T-mobile 2.26 rom which will be installed after the phone is @ IPL/SPL 1.05 and CID Unlocked.
Question: Will this rom install a bunch of T Mobile Crap? I know the Cingular/Att Roms always have a bunch of stuff to get you to sign up for and spend your money on things you dont want. Making your home screen ugly.
IPL_SPL_3.08.rar
-I do have this file, but don't plan on using it. Is there any reason why I should? It was mentioned in Dr. Puttinghams guide as an alternate option to the T-Mobile Rom but the file size is 1:100th the size so I dont understand how it could replace it.
Next is the final Rom.
I have 3 versions of TNT:
TNT.19199_Professional_Wizard.rar
TNT.19209_Professional_Wizard_TouchFlo_FREE[www.ppcplanet.net].rar
TNT.20273_Professional_Wizard_HTC_Home_FREE.rar
Black Diamond:
BlackDiamond_3.1_Touch.rar
SNN Diamond:
SNN_Diamond.rar
Does anyone have any suggestions on which rom to choose? They all seem good to me.
Can anyone verify my steps above? Have I omitted anything or are there any steps that I can omit? (Like the T-Mobile 2.26 Rom.)
I plan on using this phone in the US through ATT. Will there be any conflicts with these roms?
Thank you guys so much. Especially you chefs!
-Steve
Unlock Necessary?
Is it even necessary to unlock the phone? I plan on using it on the same network it was designed for and I believe that these roms do not effect the the IPL/SPL.
There is just so much information and so many possibilities that I am having a hard time figuring out what info is for me and what is not.
Of course I would like to move away from WM5 and on to WM6.1.
Search for the Wizard Service Tool, it will CID unlock your phone, I did mine.
I downloaded the file WST_v4.2.2.zip. I am waiting on the Data Cable so I will be unlocking in a day or so. After unlocking with this program, my phone will be exactly as is, but unlocked correct? There will be no need to go through the downgrade then upgrade steps?
Since you have a G3, you must do the following:
Actual Status: IPL/SPL 2.xx
Download and flash Button 1.05 - to downgrade
IPL/SPL 1.05 will be your status after that
Download to your PC WST -Wizard Service Tool (can be used only with IPL/SPL 1.xx)
Follow the instructions
Unlock CID - you must be Supercid after that
Unlock SIM - If you want
Download and flash carrier rom you must be 2.xx after that
and then, you are able to flash any cooked rom you want
Do the steps...
Yes your steps are great understanded so do it!!!!
Answers to your questions....
1.- YES YOU HAVE A G3
2.- YES YOU CAN LOAD BUTTON ROM WITH A LOCKED CID/SIM
3.- ALL ORIGINAL ROMS HAVE THIS KIND OF STUFF 2.26 LESS THAN 3.08
4.- NO A STRONG REASON TO FLASH WITH 3.08 OR 2.26 IS THE SAME (...Well not the same the 3.08 WM5 original rom has push email and 2.26 dont has it, the diference betwen this is not important to flash a WM6 or 6.1)
5.- TNTs rom... try the TNT .20273 but beta 3 is better just click on the Mr TNT's picture and search it. About all roms the one that has less issues is this WM6.1 new icons and diamond style!!!! personaly I dislike the other but I can tell you and its for sure!!!!! you will reflash your phone to much times searching for the one that match to your convenience... all of we do it so... your PDA will crash so much times untill you get the one that matches to you... Like GIRLS MEN!!!!!!!!
You are ready to reflash your PDA...
I extremely recomend you to unlock your PDA Totally for all the ROMS. the signal will change is normaly... so remember the Radio Version GSM on ipl and spl Screen at boots, wich one you have now, and try search it... or get other that works ... of course if you have troubles.
Please edit your profile to see more info about your device and can help you eficiently.
