OK, so after losing signal multiple times I decided to try and update the radio ROM. I upgraded to the 2.47.11 rom and followed the instructions to the t and read everything and figured it would go well. I think I was wrong. After installing, the phone reset and went to the TMo splash screen. All was well but I noticed that normally there are 4 lines of read text...now there is 2, then the 3rd line is blank, then there is a 4th. The phone sat at this screen for about 3-5 minutes, then proceeded. After making its way past the Windows Mobile splash, it came to my password screen. When I tried to enter my password, I hit the 1 and it froze. So I hard reset and tried again, and same thing. So I soft reset and tried and same thing. WTF man, does my luck really have to be this bad?? What can/should/do I do to fix this besides call TMo and ask for a replacement??
I think this is the wrong section, can someone move it to the main Wizard forum??
First, the 2.47.11 Rom is a Radio Only Rom.
You failed to mention what Rom is installed on your phone. If you have a 1.x Rom then you CAN NOT USE A 2.x RADIO ROM!
It sounds like your only problem is that you messed up your Radio Rom. Search for the thread with the Radio Only Roms (it has several and was authored by me). Then pick the appropriate Radio Only Rom (if you have a 1.x IPL/SPL then get the 1.x Radio Rom) and flash your device.

Yea, thats what happened. I have or had the factory 1.x ROM. Now how do I go about flashing it again cause right now its been sitting at the password screen for a hour or so and when I connect to ActiveSync my PC doesnt pick it up....Im pretty sure its a brick.
It is not a brick (yet)
Use the search function:
You need to enter bootloader mode. This is achieved by soft reseting and pressing the right buttons (I just don't remember which ones).
I would really recommend upgrading to a 2.x Rom and then using the 2.47.11 Radio Only Rom.

Stupid question, but is that 2.25 radio ROM on the /Uploads/Wizard directory on the FTP from the Cingular ROM, or is it the T-Mo ROM? I'm curious because there are numerous reports that the Cingluar radio ROM is "better" than the T-Mo one.
Thanks!
This is definately the Cingular version (I know because I made and used it).
Replaced the link with one that Mr Paditiot (first name Stu) can't delete!!!!
does that mean I can use this for tmo as well?

Using that Rom Update will only flash the GSM (Radio Rom) to the latest Cingular issued version 2.25.11.
It should work with any carrier.
oh nice
So I can basically install any rom I wanted and then load this radio rom afterwards to get the excellent reception I was getting with 2.25?
If so I could go back to 2.3

Thanks a lot! I was looking forward to it. I flashed my phone already, but I have yet to see any positive/negative effects. Of course, just sitting down at my desk, I don't think I will see any difference
This thing is beautiful...
I left my phone connected via USB on my desk for about 5 minutes to check signal strength before and after this update. Before, I had 2 bars. I ran the update, didn't touch the phone, let it reboot, and now I'm at full bars. Outstanding.
I get reception with this radio rom update that I can't get with any other rom I've run (except 2.25 of course). 2.25 was too buggy for me too keep on my phone so I was sad when I had go back to 2.17. Then 2.3 came and I was excited b/c I thought the bugs would be gone...and they were, but so was my reception. Now I get the best of both worlds.
Updated your 8125 to this seems like a no brainer to me regardless of what rom you're running.
THANKS!!
Losing stuff?
Sorry for this if this is a dumb question.
If I run the update utility, will I loose any stuff on the phone?
Or will this only overwrite the radio rom and keep the rest of my phone intact....
I don't want to install all my apllications like it's a hard reset....
Can someone please give me the "go" to install this to my qtek 9100 rom?

Likewise, can someone please confirm this will only update the Radio ROM? The warning message for the ROM installer says that all setting will be wiped!
BTW, I found the file in the Upload folder - /upload/wizard/ROMS/Cingular_2.25.11_Radinly.zip
it wont wipe your settings, i just flashed mine last night.
Sweet! Just ran the update on mine and can confirm all settings, data apps etc remained untouched! My Radio version has now increased to 02.25.11 and Protocol increased to 4.1.13.12. All other version numbers (ROM etc) remain as they were before.
Thanks guys!!

Maybe I can get a response here... I'm on GSM 2.25.11, but I'm having an issue with dropped calls left and right whereas I had no issue on the original ROM that came with the phone. After a couple of minutes, especially when people call me the connection just drops.
I've never believed Cingular has the fewest dropped calls as they're currently advertising, but i dont believe this is their problem either.
Any ideas?

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 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...

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.

So, you've decided that your shiny new toy isn't very well setup by default. You flashed a ROM and lo and behold, you missed some instruction somewhere and now you think it's bricked.
Here's the good news:
It's not bricked!!
Bricked means that it's dead and it's in no way or shape recoverable.
There is still a chance. (As long as you didn't try to hardSPL with another Device's SPL...)
All you have to do is:
For the WING:
Hold the Camera button and WHILE holding it, soft reset the device (that means press the little hole above the memory card with the stylus.) That will bring you to the bootloader. Now download the appropiate RUU and run that program. A few minutes later and your new shiny toy is back to it's crappy OEM but working self!
I'll put in links for those who can't find them...
Here's tmobile's ROM.
WOW! That´s all??
Ok - then provide us a link to a XDA Terra RUU!!!!!!
hahahaha. Thanks for this help. Maby for some people it is usefull - but written 1000 times before.

So going back to stockrom--> delete the SPL.nbh from EVERY RUU you are running.
Then it shouldn´t stop......
Big Thanks papa! That did the trick. My Wing is happy once again and running Open Touch. But I still want to give TouchIt another try.
And what if i cant find stock RUU mine came with some arabic keyboard and spl was 1.08 , thanks to Oli he didnt mention that SPL should be 4 or higher , so device is bricked since first Olis release and no way to find this arabic stock RUU.
Any Help ?????
Hitec
If the device had an spl of 1.08 prior to HardSPLing it, then you'll have to bring the device to your nearest repair center. There isn't a way around that. Oli doesn't know everything and that's the risk we take when we try new and experimental things that people create but have no way of testing. But, we live and learn. If it wasn't for that issue, you could always cook your own ROM and if the HardSPL was working, you could've easily flashed any ROM. But the keyboard wouldn't been wrong until you could find someone who had the correct keyboard and you extracted the ROM from it and cooked that keyboard driver into your ROM.
Oh noooo!!
Hi ivanmmj,
I used your guide to flashing my HTC P4350 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358615.
It was in French and I wanted it in English. So I downloaded one of the official HTC ROMs "HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe" assuming this was the English one because all the others couldn't have been.
I copied the "RUU_signed.nbh" from the above HTC ROM and put it into the RUU folder as instructed by yourguide (I didn't copy the SPL.nbh file). I then ran the herald-uspl.exe and everything went fine until the RUU utility stopped with the error "invalid vender ID".
The RUU exited without completing, now all I get when the device boots is the screen giving my IPL (1.08.001) and SPL (1.08.001). How do I flash another ROM from this state? I can't do it the "normal" way because ActiveSync can't see the device. When I try to use the RUU tool that comes with your tool, the progress bar shows then it says the tool can't be used with my device.
Someone please help!

Oh wow. I'm so sorry. I think I may have forgotten to put up a warning for people that have an SPL lower than 4.0. Was your SPL lower than 4.0? If it was, you cannot use the USPL OR the HardSPL and they end up writing part of the ROM over your current SPL and brick the device. This, unfortunately, needs to be fixed by your local repair center. I'll talk to the Mods about unlocking that thread so that I can update it.

If it was, you cannot use the USPL OR the HardSPL and they end up writing part of the ROM over your current SPL and brick the device. This, unfortunately, needs to be fixed by your local repair center. I'll talk to the Mods about unlocking that thread so that I can update it.

Oh deary me! I am so dead now - I live in Tanzania, East-Africa. My "local" repair center is several hundred thousand miles away across The Big Blue. What exactly do the repair center folks do to fix the device? Perhaps I can soldier out myself with some guidance...
Thank you,

I did the hardspl. Then flashed the radio. After the radio flash, it still brings up the AT&T splash screen, but NO sounds. After that loads up...then I get a all fuzzy screen - NO PICS - bunch of different colors. PLEASE HELP ME. What do I need to do??
flash a radio that's compatible with ur rom
How?? And which one? Im using the stock AT&T OEM ROM. I cant get it to connect to activesync or anything. I get as far as that fuzzy screen I was telling everyone about.
why did you flash just the radio. There is a wiki or something around here that tells you what radios go with what rom.
I thought I was supposed to flash the Radio ROM first...then flash the new ROM. I can get it unto bootloader by using the camera key and the reset hole. Gives me the 3 color screen...I just dont know what to do from this point. I'd rather just go back to the stock ROM and be done.

to be honest, all you have to do is use search and some of the words in your question..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375
also some people have the radios they use in their signatures. Just look around.
Ok. So I'm downloading the 1.27.12.11 Radio ROM right now.
i'll have to go get a micro SD.
How do I run it from the micro SD in bootloader mode with the 3 color's on the screen? It says serial on the bottom.
I REALLY appreciate your help. I have been reading a lot...its just really confusing to me.
Thank you again for all your [email protected]!
I already posted how to do it with the SD card.
I just re-read it again. Thank you! Now...I'll have to do 2 seperate flashes right? 1 for the Radio and the other for the ROM?
yup, hopefully everything goes smoothly. Don't be afraid to try some of the other radios.
Im afraid to try anything now..haha. i just want it fixed then I'm leaving it alone. Obviously...I'm WM-Retarededed
Neh, you just had a bad first time. It gets better with practise. READ READ READ.
Good Morning all,
Hope everyone is well. I realise that I am probably repeating a post somewhere and apologise profusely for that.
However my request is quite urgent. I have my phone flashed with Dutty's 4.1 using the step by step guide to update radio and ROM etc etc.
My touchscreen has now started playing silly buggars and as such tomorrow it gets picked up by UPS UK to disappear off to be looked at. Obviously I do not think they will take it to well if it still has duttys on there
So just so I make sure I get eveything right.... can someone just drop me a link to the correct files for a stock flash back to the way things should be.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

To add an update, the boot loader screen shows:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
Micro-Blackstone (LED) v6
Thought this might help in finding out how much work to stock?
I Think u need the original rom... or a htc one from the website?? ... can it not be downloaded from the htc website?? i may be wrong
I do but also need to make sure I do an original spl and radio as well
first off go to htc.com and download the romupgrade thats on that side (ive non is on the side check the wiki for youre countryrom)
then flash that one and se ive radio comes with it

Ok, thanks for all your assistance. Just qiuck one, Once I have done all this how can I check it has all worked. Obviously the boot loader shows the SPL, and the ROM is whatever installed. Where will it display the current radio so I can check that too?

At boot it shows, just restart your device and look at the red text in the bottom right corner, there it will show your current radio version.
Could also see it in device info when the device is on but dunno if you still can considering you need to return it.

Thanks to all help, radio is now reading stock as is the 1.56 spl all installed from latest ROM from HTC so also stock.
UPS collect tomorrow and with any luck they will return a working touchscreen and I can continue where I left off

I also have read a couple of these help requests and the same problem, but what could it be, is it the windows mobile 6.5 builds that are doing this (not blaming the chef's in anyway), or some conflict with the spl... have to investigate this more...

Hi, can someone (Admin) change the title of this thread from Returning to Stock for repair! to Having screen problems after changing the rom?
I think the first is solved and now we have this new problem in hand.
best regards
+1
i've had the problem with a cooked french rom (Pyrana V17C). My screen started to freeze for a few seconds. During that time, when I put the finger on the screen and slide, the screen follows the move but it comes back to where it first was, ant the move is finally not taken in consideration ... it looks like the screen is an elastic...
So it did it sometimes and it lasted a few seconds first, and then, a couple af days later, it was more often, and I had to soft reset everytime, and yesterday, I finally had to hard reset to take back the hand, and the bug came back more quickly. So I installed the latest release of this rom this morning and everything seems to be stable since a couple of hour. If it comes back I'll try another rom, but if someone can find a way to set this, that would be perfect ...
