Help: Cannot Reflash back to Stock Cingular 8125 2.25 ROM

I am having a weird problem. I am unable to reflash back to the stock cingular 2.25 rom you get from the htcamerica.net site. Here's what happened. First of all I started off with
ipl 2.25
spl 2.25
GSM 2.25
OS 2.25
I was interested in istalling Faria's Aku 3.2 rom, So I downgraded to CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE then I ended up with
ipl 1.01
spl 1.01
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
Then I CID unlocked the phone with lockwiz 02b. Then I installed Molski's RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2, which gave me
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
All seem to go well when I saw molski's flash screen, and his ext rom installed. But I was skeptical when I saw the GSM and OS still at 1.12.10, and 1.5.4.2 respectively. Anyways, I figure thats the way it should be. So then I tried to Flash Faria's FARIA-HTC-WIZARD -3.2-RC1-8MB, but nothing installed but the flash screen. The ext rom tried to installed but ended with a "windows cannot find autoconfig.exe" error. After several attemts I gave up and try to reflash back to the stock 2.25 Rom, and I am getting a "Upgrade error, invalid nbf file." Well something like that. Anyways, after several attempts, its a no go.
So what do I do from here. Do I start over with the downgrade rom and make sure that it was CID unlocked then start over again, or is there a step I am missing.

Ok, I figured it out. Finally. Apparently lockwiz 2.0 didn't CID unlock the device correctly, so I tried using lockwiz 2.0b and it Correctly CID unlock the device. I have finally been able to flash Faria's AKU 3.2. Yippeeeee.....

Confused??????

I was using the Custom RUU Wizard 1050412 WWE 101 11210 WWE to downgrade my Cingular 8125 and after flashing the ROM information reads as follow on the boot screen
IPL: 1.01
SPL 2.26
GSM: 01.12.10
OS: 1.5.4.2
Why is the SPL still at 2.26?
shouldn't it go back down to 1.XX
DID I BRINK my fone??????? This is really pissing me off
You nice folks out there please help. I want to upgrade to the pdamobile 3.0 with crossbow icon ROM. Thanks

I wonder why there's a STICKY on top with READ FIRST.... Step 16 seems familiar too me.

Hi,
I read the sticky, unlock cid unlock reflash the rom to 1.XX twice and still the SPL is showing 2.26. Any other suggestion.

Run it twice and it will downgrade to the 1.xx on both ipl and spl. I did this yesterday. if your going up to the 3.3 eventually make sure you flash to a 2.XX before going full fledged 3.3. I thought I bricked my **** yesterday too, but luckily with the help of a few nice people on here, i got it worked out.

Hi,
I ran it 3 times with no luck. I don't know what I'm missing the IPL is at 1.01 but the SPL is still 2.26. Now when I ran Lokiwiz 2b for the Super CID unlock I get error message, file too big. Help. This is driving me nuts

try reflashing the 1.xx twice, then doing lokiwiz, are you using the right lokiwiz? I'm no pro, but maybe that will help?
and did you copy the enablerapi file?

which lokiwiz version u are using I used 2b and 3

I used 2b, did you copy enablerapi?

help can't upgrade, have followed the steps

1-15. Done
16. Watch the rebooting of your PDA, if BOTH IPL and SPL are 1.xx then great. Quite probably your IPL will be 1.xx and your SPL will be 2.xx. Rerun the button 1.05 ROM downgrade a second time and it will become 1.x on both IPL and SPL. You don't need to redo the unlocking.
when i try this I can't get the SPL to go back, IPL is fine, but i've tried 4 sucessive times, no chance..
I then tried this :-
Step 17 - Download and install the 3.08 IPL/SPL rather than the 2.26, your choice! (I suggest doing the T-Mobile 2.26 first but that's me )
that went ok, and then I tried flashing roms, but the only one I can get to work is the Wizzard Love ROM.
I'd love to run WM6 but i can't, if i try the other ROMS they flash ok, but I just go back to the Wizzard ROM when it reloads
any ideas ?
very many thanks, Will

"17. My suggestion, take for what it's worth, is to download and install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM
This will give you a strong 2.26 IPL and SPL to work with."
'Now you SHOULD have a IPL and SPL of 2.26 to work with. If not, you screwed up! Don't attempt to install someone's hard work and ***** before you do these steps!'
EDIT for Step 17 - Download and install the 3.08 IPL/SPL rather than the 2.26, your choice! (I suggest doing the T-Mobile 2.26 first but that's me
Well,
You missed the all important step 17,flashing the T-mobile 2.26,this cud have given you solid IPL/SPL 2.26 to work on,Instead opted for Edit to step 17,flashing 3.08.
Your device is not CID unlocked,download WST tool and check the status of your phone,
secondly you shudn't have upgraded your ipl/spl to 3.08,till you were sure your phone is cid unlock and both the ipl/spl are the same.
anyway download the wst tool to check your phone's status and post the report here,

bugger...
i tried another rom and am stuck in the bootloader...
i have 3.08 for IPL and SPL
I think the WST will not work from the bootloader (and i can't find it to download)
any further sugestions ?
I have tried both the t-mobile and button roms
tia will try not to do any more damage ;-)

In this particular situation no rom will flash,the only option is to get the IPL/SPL back to 1.xx,only than you can unlock.
If you are in boot loader,try to flash buttons 1.05 again,if worked,ok. otherwise download the latest official rom from the carriers site and flash,it will work and bring back your phone in working status.then flash button's 1.05 to unlock with lokiwiz02b.
Are you having any sdcard in your phone,remove it,it'll help,sometimes sdcard freezes the boot loader,by removing it,boot loader mode is released,good luck

many thanks, i came across a IPL SPL 2.26 only ROM and this I managed to get to flash, and with your advise I now have WM6
thanks, Will

Upgrading IPL SPL to 3.08 i O2 MINI S from 1.05

Hi,
I have a O2 Mini S with black diamond 3.1 installed i would like to upgrade my IPL SPL from 1.05 to 3.08, I am asking this as some time back i had upgraded my radio rom to 2.71.xxx & had to reinstall the OS again after doing so..
any helps appreciated.
Thanks in advance

for me, the following worked:
- downgraded to WM5 AKU2 according to the description shown in all WM6 release threads
- updated the thing with the latest T-Mobile update
- re-flashed the OS partition (via pdocwrite.exe, you can use "shelltool" or whatever other names they gave for their wrappers). but the typho5/nb2nbf couple just does as well. only remember to leave out the unnecessary ipl/spl and not to flash the G4 one by accident. or leave out those entirely, it wont harm since you should already have a 3.08 SPL (and probably IPL) at that point.

Splash screen freezing problem at first screen

I believe that my brother' Wizard is CID unlocked already, because I also flashed many WM5 into it. But few days ago I tried to flash the WM6.1 and now it is stuck at the 1st splash screen.
I have a lot experiences from flashing rom by Hermes, Atom, Herald, Kaiser… I have read and tried many time how to solve this problem but it did not work. The re-flashing progress was exellent with ’ CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE’, the screen still say as below:
IPL 1.01
SPL 3.08
GSM 01.12.01
OS 1.5.4.2
But any flash with other roms like T-Mobile 2.26 was stopped by connection or ID errors. The problem is how can I get the IPL/SPL back to 1.xx!
Appreciate any help!
Thanks!

Run the button rom ( custom rom you identified ) again - it can take a few tries, but both your ipl and spl have to be the same 1.xx
You need ipl/spl of 1.xx to unlock
You need ipl/spl of 2.xx to upgrade to wm6
I had to run the button rom twice to achieve this
Good luck

I know how to do it and did it many (10 ) times with custom rom but no good result. The IPL has been downgarded to 1.01 but SPL is still 3.08.
Anyway, thanks for your reply!

Sorry about that - was just trying to help
Check out the response from mestrini on the attached thread - he mentions something about the spl freezing if you downgrade from 3.xx to 1.xx
I was not aware of this info - and perhaps mestrini can give you some details on how to get around it - if that is the issue here.

Try to bring ipl to 3.08 by reflashing ipl/spl 3.08 to bring both ipl/spl to 3.08 and then flash the official stock rom to downgrade to 2.xx and then downgrade to 1.xx by button's rom 1.05.
Cheers!

I also did it many times by using IPL_SPL_3.08.rar, but after that could not flash with T-Mobile 2.26 rom to downgrade to 2.26. The connection error always appear.
2 days ago, before bringing IPL/SPL to 3.08 I also brought it to 2.26 and the flash ran well. But when I tried to downgrade to 1.xx by button rom 1.05, only the IPL was changed to 1.xx, SPL was still the same as 2.26.
I realized that many people succeeded by doing this but not me even the process is the same step by step! And I really dont know why?

If it had once got spl 2.26,you shud have tried to flash the button's a couple of more times to downgrade the spl to 1.xx,why again you upgraded to 3.08. Now I believe the SPL is locked at 3.08 and it requires more efforts to downgrade to 2.xx,the only way is to keep on flashing the tmo 2.26 some more times,if you are lucky,it might downgrade.Otherwise upgrade to 3.08 and keep using wm5 official stock Rom.
Cheers!
