thanx waiting for ur replies
It's not a problem of the ROM. I did the exact same thing. It's a problem of the old bootloader with the newer ROM. I finaly got it corrected by going into bootloader mode and updating the ipl/spl to 2.xx. This corrected the problem and
the phone works great with Shogun's rom. Love it.
Here's your step by step anwser
I had installed the same software for a T Mobile MDA for a Cingular Network. The ROM disabled my sync and I was ****ting bricks because I could not update my ROM, nor make calls from my wizard.
step 1. turn off the device by holding down the power button on top of the phone.
Step 2. press the camera button (right hand side) and the power button at the same time to on the device.
Step 3. This puts the device into USB mode, which you will now plug in the USB cable. (the word "USB" will appear on the bottom of the pocket pc screen when it is configured to the computer.) Active Sync will not sync up to the pocket pc (remains grayed out on the computers title bar.)
step 4. download another ROM version. I downloaded cingular 2.26 shotgun (different version from your ROM, but made for cingular devices) FROM HERE ON, DO NOT DISCOUNT YOUR DEVICE FROM THE COMPUTER!!
step 5. Make sure the device is charged more than 50%, then click and run the ROM. Follow the update prompts; and the computer will recognize that the pocket pc is connected to the usb port, but active sync will be grayed out. Allow the software to be installed. remember, do not disconnect, because you could do serious damage to the bios bank chips and never be able to boot.
once it installs the software, you will be relieved to see the NEW ROM on the boot screen and you'll notice everything works beautiful again
YOU CAN NEVER BRICK A WIZARD, just place in it USB MODE and start over. For the intelligent people, backup your information with Active Sync if you dare to experienment with new ROMs.
GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND,
Adam

Wouldn't it be better to release your ROMs without the IPL/SPL then? Would also save you the trouble of having separate G3 and G4 versions--please don't misunderstand me, I appreciate the work you and everyone else on this forum do with no expectation of payment, but it would seem we might all be better off ROM-upgrading without and IPL/SPL, at the very least it might save some noob like naeemwaqas who doesn't know any better...just my suggestion.
here is your answer from me... it has mostly been covered..
YES hold your camera button while powering on to put in bootloader mode
DO NOT FLASH MY ROM.. yet
YES download an official rom so that you can get the updated bootloaders
after that is complete then you can flash my rom...
I DID NOT include updated bootloaders because i didnt want for a noob with a G4 to brick their phone by flashing my rom.. my future releases will be labeled as G3 and G4.. if a noob screws it up from there then its not my fault

but then if their IPL/SPL are of 1.xx versions, their upgrade also won't go so well. If only people would do their research before jumping into such dangerous thing..

You sir, are an idiot! And shouting such nonsense just proves my point. Please run away... and very fast before someone actually believes your bu!!!**** and bricks their device!
You sir got lucky, you obviously don't have a G4 phone, cause I double dog dare you to try such insanity on a G4.
I've flashed more phones than the average guy and I'm STILL careful.
I'm sure that you probably meant no harm but if you noticed, none of the chef's here have stated such BS...

Whoa, easy there samurai! My suggestion was directed at Molski, who as far as I can tell still packages up IPL/SPL in his ROMs unlike you. Thanks for pointing this crucial difference out to those who might not know otherwise.
And again, for Molski, this is just a suggestion--there have been plenty of ROM upgrades with IPL/SPL and the vast majority go fine, just seems like as a community we might want to consider doing things (like ROMs with no IPL/SPL for example) to protect newcomers. Now sure they might deserve it every now and again, and scaring the crap out of them might induce a healthy dose of "read before you leap", but could be avoided for this one situation.

which is why i dont... i may know quite a bit, but im not a master, i dont know it all (dont tell my wife) and dont include ipl/spl for that simple fact.. but can garuantee this guy will read more before experimenting again... its a good scare factor, and a good way to welcome him to the board
hehehe...this is how we learn. But in some countries you could be shot for spreading such blasphemy. Peace and love brothers.

Hi to all that can help me, i just flash the rom yesterday night that i have download and its completed the upgrade and go into the screen and running the installing of the program that come with the rom.
after the full install and the device restart without any more power and picture show.
I have try to charge the battery with wall charger and also replace with new battery but still no power.

I have the same problem. IPL and SPL 2.15.00001 and tryed to downgrade but after restart it does not power on. Tried everything but no way to power on. Is somebody know how to make it work again.
Regards,
You guys tried to flash a G3 Rom on your G4 Wizard.
So your bootloader (IPL/SPL) that is 2.xx.0001 is overwritten by a G3 bootloader that is 2.xx, so in other words....your devices are bricked.
Please someone, correct me if I am wrong.
Molski
yup, I agree. Bricked hopefully someone can fine the JTag on these devices.
Wow that sucks! Full moon over Miami last night, naw that can't be it .....
Sorry but unfortunately I must follow my Grandmother's advice concerning when I don't have anything nice to say...
R there NO ALTERNATIVE WAY for THIS?? HOPE we can help those people that made a mistake by upgrading to a ROM that doesnt fit to their WIZARD. due maybe because of TOO XCITEMENT they forgot to CHECK FIRST(PLS! ALWAYS CHECK FIRST) their IPL/SPL.
HOPE those master GURU's can do something!
So, please someone tell clearly how to know G3 or G4 of the Wizard
thanks so much
Sorry but I have no more tolerance for people who just jump in first without doing a little research. A while back when the G4 first came out we didn't know. Now everyone who puts out a ROM warns people about the possible consequences. And there's so many threads on just the first page with tales of woe... how can a person miss them all??
I'm sorry but my parents raised me to take responsibility for my own actions, as Baretta used to say" Don't do the crime if you can't do the time"
Similar to when a Cat 4 hurricane is coming at you and you don't leave after being warned.... then blaiming everyone but yourself...
And if anyone wants to rebute me on this, don't bother as I've neither the time nor the patience.
Bottom line is that flashing phones has the very real possiblity of trashing an expensive piece of hardware in a very short period of time. If one has any doubts, then they shouldn't do it! And if a person doesn't have a concern initially then they're asking for trouble.
Sorry....

The problem is that if your bootloader (IPL/SPL) is fuc*ed up, there is no way to get it in bootloader mode to do a flash!
Only known solution is with JTAG connector, but that solution is not a clear solution yet, but I dont know nothing about that solution (simply...because I never needed it).

I knew I have a G4 and can't upgrade/downgrade with G3 roms or even change IPL/SPL, but I did that :]
Just found ROM v2.22.1 (I think), like my original Wizard's was. I was so happy that I found it, that I forgot about G3 chips existence 8)
Well, ROM was for G3 -_-
Just ran too fast and slipped. Maybe I got that speed after very often Pioneer BCT 1430 flashing. It is just immortal :]
well i know about the G3 and G4 but the rom that i downloaded from doesn't say anything about support G3 or G4 thats why i consider this rom doesn't included IPL and SPL just like the custom rom been make from other member.
Damn now i have to send my phone back to factory for fixing it. Lucky i still have a warranty of it.

I do feel for you. I believe that the best thing that we can do is to not even make G3 ROM's available to the general public. Maybe all new ROM releases should be IPL/SPL - less. If one needs a ROM that will upgrade their bootloader they'll have to request a password protected file.
I just dunno...

...which is one of the reasons why carriers make it so hard to flash a ROM from one carrier to the device of another.
Qtek 9100 half bricked
Hi Molski
I'm new here.Just 'd like to know if you could support me on this matter.
Here we go...
I've flashed my 9100 from wwe to esn (spanish) with the ROM 1.3.7.5 or something like this.
This is the problem...I got a power failure in the middle of the flashing process.So now the device isnt able to start up it didnt install the OS properly.
Now it says:
IPL 2.24 (i managed to flash the ipl n spl)
SPL 2.24
OS 1.3.7.5
But I'm pretty sure that there's no OS watsoever because after keep trying flashing with other ROM in bootload mode.I finally managed with an Orange of 34 mb it updated the ROM,that is the IPL And SPL and with the process was running I've noticed the screen got blank and updated it properly.I was realy happy when I saw it but even though it did it properly I still got the same problem.The pda doesnt start up.When I flashed it for the first time I did it with care,followed all the instructions,that is, unlocked the CID first etc.But had the damn joy of getting a power failure in the middle of it.
I'm just wondering if one of you would be able to gimme a light on it.I've tried everything but flashing it with a G4 ROM coz I know it wont work.

i've read a good deal of threads dealing w/ upgrading the rom and the necessity of fully unlocking to do so. however, i'm a noob, so please excuse my ignorance despite reading and searching threads.
i still have a few questions...
i know i've read it, but can't find or remember how to tell if my phone is a G3 or G4...
can i use lokiwiz with my current ipl/spl 1.08, or do i need to downgrade to 1.05 or even 1.04 (sounds like less issues w/ 1.04) first?
do i need to worry about backing up my current 1.8 rom? if i ever need to downgrade again, i can find apps/utils to downgrade w/, or a rom available for download?
will unlocking void warranty?
thanks for your time and patience.
the easy way to tell if you have a G3 or G4 chipset if by looking at the numbers displayed at bootup.
G3 will look like this
ipl 1.08
spl 1.08
G4 will look like this
ipl 1.08.0001
spl 1.08.0001
if your ipl & spl are below 2.00 i.e. 1.08 then you can simply use the tool "aWizard" to CID Unlock your phone, then download and update your rom to a official latest version as this will update your ipl & spl to above 2.00 which is needed when installing a "custom" rom Hope that makes some sense! If not just ask I'll try to answer the best I can.

excellent. thank you.
i thought it was G3 but couldn't remember. yes, it's listed as 1.08, nothing after.
yes, i understand i must update to the official version first. thanks. that's why i want to know if i can/should unlock now while i have this 1.x rom before i update.
is awizard better than lokiwiz 2.b? or 3.0? i'll look at awizard again.
does unlocking generally void warranties?
Yes, Unlocking does void warranties, but Service providers don't know to look for that. If you have problems with the phone, you "Can" exchange it through your Service Provider, but I find as long as you read up and follow direction, you will get better support for your phone Here on xda-dev.

Sorry you are right its lokiwiz for CID Unlocking! I had awizard on my mind lately because Ive been playing around dumping roms and changing the pool memory So yes you need lokiwiz to cid unlock!

Yes you should unlock NOW because after updating to a 2.0 type rom its very much harder to cid unlock (in fact its impossible with going back to a 1.? version)

Use 2.b. The 3.0 version is for G4 Wizards.
thanks a lot guys. these are great answers. i hope some other noobs will check this out as i know this would help them.
one last question (i hope):
do i need to back up my current 1.8 rom? if i fully unlock now, then upgrade to t-mobile's rom, then flash a custom rom, i shouldn't need to go back to 1.8 right? even if i do, there seems to be plenty of availability for 1.x roms or apps to change the ipl/spl back, if my understanding is correct. if i need to send the phone in for repair etc, i can easily flash t-mobile's latest rom.
thanks again for your time.
side note: my phone just started experiencing an issue with the speaker/sound. after i unplugged the oem headset last time, i can't get any stock phone sounds, i.e. clicks when hitting buttons/sound when adjusting volume, including hearing the person i'm connected to. everything still works fine with the headset plugged in though. i've looked at all the settings and everything is normal or "on". the speaker still works because i can hear my programmed ring tones when someone calls, or any other sound i added for a particular operation. i'm thinking of hard resetting to see if that will fix it. i wanted to get this resolved before i start "hacking" the phone, in case i do need to take it in. any suggestions?
thanks again
i'll bump this once and then i'm going to start a new thread for help with problem i posted in the last post (bottom).
thanks guys...
This is a known issue across many HTC device types. Most likely it is a contact in your headphone jack being stuck/broken as if the headphones are still plugged in.
Options, from mild to severe:
1.) Try a Soft Reset with the headphones plugged in, then carefully remove the headphones. (This has been reported to be a solution as long as you won't be causing the problem again by using wired headphones.... )
2.) Contact cleaner (A special non-conductive cleaning product, available at any electronics store. Just ask for it.) has been suggested as a fix. Remove battery, let sit for 15 minutes to discharge stored electricity, spray just a little into headphone jack, let dry, reinstall battery, see if it works.
3.) Send phone in for repair.
Or, if more adventurous:
4.) Open phone housing and clean/repair headphone jack manually.
There may be other options, Google is your friend! (Try their advanced search, it's neat!)

I try to install a Rom Dopod_WM6-CHS. When it finished, my wizard is OFF.
I try to go in Bootloader, nothing!!!
I have G4 unlocked with PDAVIET3.
What happened?
Any solution?
Is this Bricked or what?
Pls
Thnks to all.
Hi
Did you had enough battery when you began the upgrade ?...just guessing
Yes. I have 70% battery.
I try wrongly to install that ROM, who was in Chinese.
When it finished, its going off, and i cant to go on.
Are you sure it doesn't enter bootloader ? Did you tried everything. BTW, why did you tried to install the chineese rom ?
Have you tried takeing off the battery for about half and hour and then trying again bootloader ? When your device is of, and you plug it into charger, does the led lights ? And if so , what colour ... orange(normal) or red or worse ...nothing ?
Yes i Try batter off for 4-5 hour.
I try hard reset (CommManager button, VoiceComm Buton and to reset), Nothing.
I dont see that it was in Chinese. In finishing of installing Extended Rom, he gone off, and no one LED light is taking on.
I dont know what.
If no led is turning on, try this. Pull out your battery, insert your charger(with the battery out) wait for a couple of seconds, and then insert the battery.
This should start charging...
Tell me wat's hapening.
Well, the ROM being in a different language should not cause any problems, rather, the IPL/SPL included in the ROM may have killed the Wizard, which either in different in terms of being G3/G4 or it is for a different unit (eg non Wizard phone).
I know that, but from what I remember, WM6 only has OS, not IPL/SPL.
That's why I was hoping that his Wizard is not dead 4ever.

If any rom you flashed included a bootloader (IPL/SPL) then you have bricked your G4. You cannot flash IPL/SPL into a G4 yet. It will work until the first reset then will be a brick forever after.
If you have warranty or insurance on it you might want to exercise one of those options and hope for the best.
I hope that you did not flash a G3 or other bootloader and your device is just being temperamental.
Good Luck.

Is there a schedule of when moderators (or whoever) views the upload directory of the FTP and verify/move the files to the proper spots/directories on the FTP?
I know that it was recently cleaned up, and assume it is being maintained. And if so there should be no reason (other than lack of patience) for someone to DL something from the upload directory.
In any case it's unfortunate that someone is that malicious (whether intentional or not) and caused people to ruin their devices. I would think as a good rule of thumb that before you flash any file downloaded from the upload directory look for an associated thread on the file or ask about it on the forums to see if anyone knows what it is/who the author is.

yes we check all we can ,but we cannot check every file and its extensions.....this a voluntary job....as i rule you should only download files that you know that are safe....and for the love of good check the files with antivirus scanner...there is several treads about this problems allredy.....at the moment there is only 2 choices ;ftp for everybody or no ftp at all.
who can check if every rom uploaded for every device is good?.....there is no way.
Hi, I was trying to flash/upgrade my Wizard to WM6.1 (was able to do it once over the weekend). But got over-confident and was trying to do it second time (ofcourse use some other cooked rom) but during the upgrade, my kid pulled out the wire from the computer.
If that was not enough, in a panic mode, i actuall did a reset on the wizard. Now it wont even start (no lights light up nor I get the 3 color screen = bootloader.).
The time when my kid pulled up the USB cable, I was "upgrading" to 2.26 after having successully downgraded to 1.xx ..
I fear I have bricked my wizard...is there anything I can try before having to spend 40-50 buck and get to cell repair estimate? I tried hard-reset (Camera + Power On), (Green + Red button + Power), Communication Button + Voice Button + Power but nothing happens.....
Sorry but i guess your Wizard is a brick, the only solution is that you get a new motherboard or a new Wizard. Feel Sorry to say that but still dont go on my advice let some other senior member say something too. Maybe there is a way i dont know and anybody else does.
did you have a full battery?do you think your battery drained through the process?try charging the battery in some other way or try another battery...if that doesn't do the trick....you need a new motherboard.....
G3 phones are very stubborn devices,its very hard to 'Brick' it ! They don't get Bricked in this way ,unless you really do stupid thing and flash a Rom with G4 IPL/SPL.
Here,you have a dead battery,just try to charge it fully ,somehow, or borrow another battery from a friend,or if you prefer,buy a new one,as it comes with little charge to start and boot up the phone and even sometimes flash a rom.
Apart from this,I don't believe its Bricked,G3 doesn't get bricked like that,by being interrupted in the middle of flashing or resetting it.
zabardast i think he was upgrading the bootloader...that kills it right?

What I believe he means he was upgrading to IPL/SPL 2.26 by flashing T-mobile,after downgrading to 1.xx by Button's Rom,while flashing,it got interrupted and in panic he reset the device,now can't power Up the device.
Well,interrupted during flash or resetting doesn't brick a phone.
secondly,Bootloaders IPL/SPL are automatically downgraded/upgraded by flashing a Rom with IPL/SPL when flashed.
Unless,as I posted above, if he has flashed G4 IPL/SPL or a G4 Rom with IPL/SPL,it wud certainly brick a G3 device.But as he said he was upgrading to 2.26,means,he was flashing T-mobile,so I believe,it cannot be bricked this way
OOOPS!
On second thought,did he mention its a G3,well,what if its a G4!!!
and he flashed Button's Rom............. GONER!
I assumed its a G3,coz he posted ipl/spl 1.xx and 2.26 and he already got it upgraded.
hi thanks for all the info.
Before the upgrade I verified it have more than 60% battery (arround 80%). I had got a new battery and charged it 100% overnight before i tried the first upgrade.
Its a G3 phone (It showed 2.2x a did not have following .000 which show for G4).
I had downgraded using the Button ROM and was upgrading the rom using WST write ROM.
So is there still a chance..
I can try and see if anyone's got a HTC Wizard within my friends/around and try to charge the battery in their phone....just to make sure its fully charged
try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963
I have repair my wizard with this manual.

I wonderfully and utterly stupidly did exactly that !!! I wrote a G4 rom on G3 Wizard !! It turned on once after the procedure and wm6 loaded all the "extras" and then re-booted... into complete darkness !! Now it's completely dead nothing turns on, not even the green charging light. I left it for a couple of months and the red light come on briefly... but that's all. Now it stops the papers from flying off my desk .... it's my funeral and I'll cry if I want to (
I honestly feel sry for it,but may I ask which was the rom which you say is G4,which you flashed ? coz all official roms are suitable to flash to both devices and custom build roms do not contain IPL/SPL in them,which cud harm any device,its really questionable as which was this rom which bricked a G3 phone,if you are sure your phone is a G3. YES! its certain that if a G4 phone is flashed with a G3 specific rom,it'll get bricked,was your G3 or G4 ?

I confirm my Wizard is a G3 device and the rom I accidentally wrote over it was a G4 rom (I since deleted it from my computer to ensure I would not repeat the mistake) ....
So, there are G4 specific ROMs floating around out there? Now that doesnt make a whole lotta sense. I thought that all carrier ROMs where G3 (and to an extent G4 safe), and that all cooked ROMs where G3 and G4 safe because they dont contain IPL/SPL?

After G4 came out, the providers started releasing ROM packages with two bootloaders and a new RUU that would detect the device DOC generation and flash accordingly. If you extract an 'official' ROM you'll find IPL_1, SPL_1, IPL_2, SPL_2, etc... which means G3 and G4 respectively and therefore safe to flash to any Wizard in the market (minding the CID status of course)
As for G4 only roms i believe that might be a few around that were cooked in a time when the "G4 safe" concept wasn't yet implemented and when one would flash a complete ROM and upgrade IPL/SPL at the same time.
Nowadays, since Wizard official development has ended, almost everyone has a 'high' bootloader and only needs to change the OS version/flavor thus the absence of IPL/SPL in a released cooked ROM
Hope it's clear
cheers

Hahahaha "A silence minute for it's soul please"
Father, embrace with your arms this soul of a dead wizard and let it rest in peace in the Pocket Heaven Amen.
More Respect please HAHAHAHA
what a funny men!!!!
I bricked my phone too!
Hi there! I think I have the same problem. My phone is a G4 and it won't boot to bootloader mode nor charge in a wall charger. I had my phone unloacked and during the process, my phone shut down. Now it's dead. Is there a go around for this problem? Thanks.
Hey Guys,
I've got a similar thing, think I might have flashed a G4 file to a G3 Wizard.
I have, by following through the "Let's Revive A Wizard" thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=274766) been able to get the thing to boot into the bootloader screen and show IPL 1.05 : SPL 2.26.clip I think from memory and then flashed the 02 ROM but then it just boots back to the bootloader.
I also tried an SD backup from my other G3 and followed that through but nothing.
I think there is a way to revive using the methods shown, but there appears to be no more help relating to it and I'm out of ideas myself.
If anyone has a IPL & SPL file for 2.26 can they post it for me to try.
Thanks.
Ian
I have xda mini s and I would like to upgrade my wm5 to wm6...
How can I do?? Any suggestion would be helpful!!!
Cheers..
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.olip

Os 2.26.10.2S
It appears you have the same type of phone as I do, It's even a G4 Phone so be careful not to use G3 on your phone or you will BRICK IT.
I'll give you what you might like. I had a hard time myself figuring out what to do with my phone and researched, but since it looks like you already did an hard SPL patch you can install a windows mobile rom without having to use a Soft SPL *since HARD SPL even if your CID is still locked can still be tricked with that permanent patch that tricks the phone into thinking it's unlocked.*
you will mostly have to do a RUU utility update to do this job with the phone on and active synced.
I'm using something that is from cracing's custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494802
He gives out instructions in his notice and it is very thorough of what to do when flashing your phone.
If you dont like his windows mobile roms try others like searching other peoples cooked roms in the Wizard section of the forum in windows Mobile 6 threads. Here's another link to another Windows mobile 6 from X2H's Builds
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492532
make sure you always read what their info says and always make notes to everything. once you know what you're doing it'll be easy.
Be advised that once you start flashing here's what you should see. You should see your phone showing a RGB Color window, if it shows progress on the phone and your PC, DON'T TOUCH or REMOVE USB. Just sit back and let it do its job. Grab a snack or watch TV while the process does it and always make sure your phone is charged by at least 70% or higher or it will not go further. After the process is done your phone should soft reset and your pc program will tell you it was successful.
I hope this has helped you with enough info.
Thank you so much for all your advice which was a great help. It was so easy and now I am enjoying my new winmo.6.5.... Great great!!!
I can not thank you enough..................so much appreciated..
Cheers, mate...
