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.

can anyone explain which one is the best one for 8125 g4 locked
and how im am to go about it thanks alot sorry for the noob question
Just depends on your operator, so you need to try yourself and find out which is the best one.
i have at&t and running on wm 5
Basically, like starkwong said, it's pretty much trial and error. You have to try out all of the different Radio ROMs to find out which one works best for you in your area. Nobody here can really tell you for sure which one will work the best for you, unless maybe they live just down the street from you or something.
i know that im just asking is it safe and not brick my phone because its not unlocked in anyway
Normally Radio ROM can be updated directly with the Update Software (RUU) regardless unlock state of CID.
OH NO!
I have a Cingular 8125 G3 unlocked and have TNT's Touchflo rom on it. I tried updating my radio using Faria's 2.69.11 updater, but now my phone won't work, usb won't work, and when I reboot, it reads the IPL/SPL is still 1.xx and the OS is 6.00.0.0 but there is NO GSM line at all! Seeing how I can't the usb to work, I can't flash it with the T-Mobile rom or anything, however I can transfer things onto the phone via IR. So is there something out there I can use to fix at least the usb so I can reflash my phone. Thanks in advance!
Got it!
Nevermind, I got it working. I was able to transfer the bootloader.exe file over to my phone, ran it, and then was able to reflash my phone. Whew, I was so scared. Anyhow, thanks for all the info on this page, I love this site!
Wanted to know how could i get a hermes rom onto a wizard. Is it possible? anybody help please
roms are unlike normal windows a set of hardcoded drivers where if 1 fail because the hardware is abesent or different it will never boot and could brick the device
sorry i took so long to get back thankz dont no much about this rom thing i just jumped into it and started flashing. any advice on how to cook.
ok, im inbetween a newb and a full out destructive force to any type of moddable device and im having a little bit of trouble with my cingular 8125. ive had this phone for a few months and i am having the hardest time dealing with the rom on the phone now. ill give a quick breifing on it:
got it with original cingular rom, not sure what spl or ipl on it but the first thing i did was unlock it by myself, cid and sim unlocked, and then updated to a jaguar wm 6.1 rom which worked fine. decided i was going to unfortunately sell this phone so i decided to upgrade it one more time to see if i really wanted to sell it, i then bought the upgrade to go past my 2.21 ipl and spl. i got my unlocker and followed my instructions and got a brick. but not a full brick. its stuck in the bootloader screen. after reading countless threads, i learned that i should be able to just still update a rom to the phone with no problems which actually works, but as soon as a rom completes it goes right back to my bootloader screen so help me! please cuz now thats its a challenge again, i want the phone! plus all my info is on the phone still back up
Flash the official stock ROM first, then use Button's ROM to downgrade your IPL and SPL before unlocking CID.
post the present IPL/SPL it displays now.Which rom you are trying to flash now ?
ok when i try to put the most current 8125 rom on my phone (2.25.blah) it tells me that its not the same phone which is weird but thats preventing me from putting the original rom on the phone. however if i try and put the buton rom on the phone now, it will go through completely and say it put it on the phone, but when it restart, its right back to the bootload screen...
and im running IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21 with a previous installation of a jaguar rom, dont know exactly which one, but i know it was a jaguar rom. but right before i tried to upgrade the updater, i went back to my default WM5 rom so i guess it was te basic 2.21 rom on the phone with WM5

WEIRD !
You got mixed Bootloaders of G3 And G4,IPL 2.21.0001 is G4 and SPL 2.21 is G3,as you posted,well,can't say which was original,only you can tell,but some how its mixed Bootloaders,in this situation no Rom will flash,its a 'Brick'.
If as Zabardast says its bricked then you have three options:
1. Get a new Wizard
2. Get a new Wizard Motherboard
3. Get a Wizard with broken LCD from eBay and replace its LCD with your current one and Enjoy!!! (Cheapest)
lol this is tough! but no worries, ill be back with some other pda at some point and time and then ill try and take this phone apart! but the weird thing about my wizard is that this only happened when i tried to update the phone with the CID unlock program that you have to pay for!
lol it was perfectly fine until i tried to do it! oh well, back to my crappy p168!
May be that CID Unlock program was not meant to be for a G3 and you were updating a G3 so it mixed you IPL/SPL and caused a kinda BRICK. So please be careful before doing flashing things because if you dont be carefull then your PPC may become a heavy paper weight, and a costy one too. LOL. TC

Cingular 8125 problems
Ok guys i am really pissed i have been looking for three days and cant find it, first off my IPL is at 1.01 and the SPL is at 2.25 and i cant fix it i wanted to install the original 2.25 again and start from scratch but can not find the damn thing so if anyone has it can u just upload it fo me and give me a link that i can get it at please i am sick and tired of waitnin i really like this phone and i dont want to risk bricking it thanks.
Ok, grimgod, aggression is reaaaallly ugly and no freakin one will help with that sh!t attitude (pardon the language, mods). The senior members do everything they can to help the noobs. Have you tried reading the flashing guide, wiki, or tutorial? I'd bet even money you haven't. Have you CID unlocked? Did you flash the button rom twice ( as the guide suggested to get ipl/spl both 2.xx)? Did you flash the official tmo rom (found im the flashing guide)? Have you done anything other than sit on your hands and wait for it to be handed to you? READ AND SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831 <HERE!!!!!!!!!! Should I flash your device, too?
Similar issue... need some Wizard Expertise
I picked up a coworkers old Cingular 8125 that he'd had in a drawer for about a year. Battery was right dead so the phone wouldn't boot. I charged the battery on an external charger for a few minutes, put it back into the phone, and plugged it in to the charger until the LED went green indicating a full charge.
When I power up I see the T-Mobile splash screen (light gray background, some square dots, and the "T-Mobile" logo). And there it stays indefinitely.
Tried a hard reset (Comm Mgr + Voice Cmd + Soft Reset), and it said "Press Send to restore factory default". Pressed the green dialer key (I assume that's send), and it says Format FAT partition, FAT partition complete, and then returns to the same T-Mobile splash screen and hangs there.
So then I tried putting it into Boot Loader manually (Power On + Camera). No problem, shows IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26. Plug it into the computer USB port (running XP Pro), and then the USB connection shows on the phone. Attempted to flash the Wizard Love ROM to get this thing back to square-one. Error 260. Attempted to flash the T-Mobile stock ROM. Error 260.
Between each flash attempt, I'm pulling the battery out and starting fresh. I think I've followed all the steps I'm finding in multiple threads. But for some reason I'm not able to get this thing to communicate via USB. All RUU's give an Error 260. Am I missing something?
Forgot to mention I'm following the steps outlined in this thread from Dr P. To the letter!
Also did a little reading up on using the MTTY method in this thread by Drug_Store. Thought maybe the existing ROM might be intact, and I might be able get it to a 256MB MiniSD, then write the backup ROM from SD in boot loader. Well, for some reason I don't even see the USB connection option when I use the MTTY - can't ever get to a point where I can issue commands. Again, I think I'm following the instruction. But still no juice.
Nudge, nudge. I'd donate for a solution that works... otherwise I have to keep letting my 10 year old play The Quest on my phone.
Hello out there.....
First of all i have to say THX to all these people which are really willing to help every1 with their great tutorials. Ive used alot of them already. Thanks.
And i have to say sorry for my english language, due Im german and i left school behind long time ago. I'm really taken pains to write this comment.
Now, in my case ive tried to restore my device (Xperia X1i) to OEM status step by step as its shown in this thread.
My worst issue is that my touchscreen aint work anymore after i flashed a custom ROM and that i got stock at the point where the ROM wants to configure the OS like "Tap the screen to continue with configuration".
Ive tried to flash way too much ROMs using HardSPL but the touchscreen wont let me do anything - no reaction.
So how can I restore the bootloader (SPL) on my device, when my touchscreen aint work? How can I take the following step without any working ROM ?
sirsycho said:
12. Run SSPL.KAIS.exe from your phone (make sure you do this on your actual device and not your PC)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not know what I did wrong, that the screen wont react anymore, but im sure that the SPL is the cause for this disaster.
I'm really desperate couz i already have sent the device to the SE Support, where they told me that there is an "extraneous" on my device although ive flashed the Stock ROM firstly... there was still something that bothered them...
After i got the device back the touchscreen worked again as funny, allthough the support did nothing on the device as they said in the delivery.
A bit skeptical but with alot of happiness i kept on flashing some ROMs after that.
Now, after i found a good ROM and kept this one on my device for some days the screen doesnt work again.....
This is what my bootloader says right now
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
....seems like the HardSPL is still there......
Honistly i had to apollogize (maybe too late) that this part of using a cellphone (flashing a ROM using HardSPL etc.) is a big fish and that ive underrated it. Now i have a 400$-Device which aint work anymore
Ive read like all Tutorials here at xda-devs containing something about flashing a ROM or informations about SPLs; tried everything
I feel like im lost and fu**ed right now....
Is there any1 can help me with my problem?
Hopefully there is.....i pray for him
first flash a stock rom
then just run the hard-spl exe, and replace the ruu_signed.nbh file
why are you trying to use kaiser spl?
use the things found in the hardspl sticky in the xperia section
Wrong Tutorial
You're using tutorial for wrong device (HTC Kaiser)
The correct tutorial is in first post (extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
But before restoring original hardspl you should flash with original rom found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
wow thanks for your answers !!
i never thought ill get response.
Its really weird that i havnt found that tut before bcuz i was looking through whole board.
I will try do that tomorrow.
I hope that it will work then. Don't wanna pay 300$ for a new device
Else there is mtty to restore the bootloader
Aight i have done the steps showing in the tutorial.
1. I have flashed teh Stock ROM (R2A german - Vodafone)
2. I've used the RUU with the stockSPL given in that post.
Now my tricolour screen shows the following
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
This is what it shall looks like OliNex said.
I hope this is all i had to do, to make use of my device's guarantee, cuz the touchscreen still doesnt work
Seems like i really have to send my Xperia to the Support again (now hopefully with a ROM + SPL they wont reject)
But if i send my device with "extraneous" again i have to pay another 15€ just for let them do a costs estimate -.-
I would like to get a reply before i make use of the support again.
Thanks for all your help
Glad to hear recovering to stock rom + spl worked out.
Your touchscreen doesn't work when you have booted up windows?
If that's correct then I suggest to send in the device for service. Although
it might not help I suggest updating your device with SE updating service (SEUS) first.
After the flash remove the battery for 10 seconds, then turn it on.
Hope it helps and otherwise servicing the device is free of charges
Haha!
That's what im doing right now, using SEUS
Thanks for the tip with the battery but i already tried that way too often
Edit:
Ok, touchscreen still aint work....
Time to contact the support...at 11:45 PM **WOOT
nvm....Ill wait till tomorrow
gn8 and thanks for helping me with my issue ^^
a few days ago I returned my silver X1 for the same issue, my touch screen (digitizer) doesn't work. Then right in front of SE support person, he justed took out the battery and rebooted. Then it worked. The thing is, I did the same thing several times earlier that day and it did NOT worked. I am worrying of getting the same problem again and I only have until november 30th until my 1 year warranty expires. I haven't tried any cooked roms and it is because of warranty purpose. Altough I'm not new to custom roms since I own an Alpine and a Prophet. I've been here for some time now.
The thing that holds me back testing cooked roms on my Xperia is the aftermath if in case my device goes half-dead. I almost always read the restoring on to official roms everytime I get here, but still the thousand dollar spent on my phone's tag price comes with a fear of who's gonna rescue if my phone won't work. And to add that spare parts aren't available here as of the moment. And yes I'm eager and very curious about almost everyone saying cooked 6.5 is faster than stock roms but though I haven't tested it I have to disagree for now on my case basis.
First, my Xperia doesn't come with a carrier lock. It's locally called "open line" in my country I guess technically called debranding. Then my phone has the generic r3a rom via seus I think it's generic uk. Lastly, for some reasons, the touchflo 3d doesn't work with my device I've tried it since r1 firmware time. Some response told me to unlock-debrand my phone first but I dont have to since it isn't locked. Still installing tf3d makes my phone hang, doesn't uninstall, doesn't show in the themes list if installed as a theme, and doesn't let me have another panel since it always stay as tf3d whenever I choose another one. And it is very unstable in my device. These happened even if I install it as a panel.
I feel handsets here are faster than handsets that are locked by a carrier so I'm thinking again since for now, my Xperia works for me as stock as it is.
