I understand this - i've tried flashing two different WM6 ROMs to my device - and everything works well - goes to 100% and says it's succsessful. But then my device boots - the old image/OS? Appearantly it just does a hard reset?
What's up with that?

CID UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE....or better yet start reading the wizard upgrading forum..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1184453#post1184453
I thought a locked CID would prevent to flash at all? (error before flashing started). I did unlock CID first - but there was one error, but i think that was when writing the backup. I'll try it again.
Edit: Here is the error:
CopyFileToTFFS(cidunlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.
result=80072745
Your phone is now CID unlocked....

If your phone retains the same OS after you flash then quite obviously something went wrong during the cid unlock and it wasnt cid unlocked at the time of flashing.
This is mentioned many times, let me know if your having trouble finding info.
The error you posted means the CID Unlock didn't work (even though you got a message saying you are now CID Unlocked). Go back to the thread on CID Unlocking (or maybe its the lokiwiz thread) and read about the errors.
Another thing is you haven't told us if you have a G3 or G4 device and what your current IPL / SPL are. that info helps so you don't get taken in the wrong direction.
I got it working now. IPL/SPL was 2.x, so i had to downgrade in order to get it working. I got tricked, since i couldn't find anywhere mentioning what happened if CID was locked - only that it wouldn't work to flash if it's not unlocked - and i assumed that by "wouldn't work" they meant that it couldn't get it flashed - but it was flashed without any errors so i assumed that CID lock was not the problem (it did says succsessfull when i unlocked cid also).

I used lokiwiz02b to unlock? both the SID and CID. The device restarted during both installations like it should have.
I read about how to check if the SID is unlocked by using a SIM card from another network but what about the CID?
Thank for any help.

assuming you already flashed up to a 2.xx carrier rom, you can attempt to flash a different carrier's rom or any 2.xx custom rom here to see if it changes. If it errors out or completes but nothing changes then you are not CID unlocked.
Thank you. Yeah, I followed "How to fllsh a Wizard..." tutorial up to G4.6 assuming it was unlocked. I tried Xplorer 1.1 (originally getting error 300) but then updated the romupdateutility.exe. After the install finished i just had the 3 Color bootloader screen.

woah woah woah... You have a G4... G4's aren't CID Unlocked unless you have paid to have this done from imei-check.co.uk . You also have to be careful (if you don't know this already) what roms you flash. Don't just go and flash another carrier's rom on a G4 or you could (will?) wind up with a brick.
So on a G4, you will either have to pay to get CID Unlocked or you use ShellTool to do upgrades (you have to make sure you remove the IPL/SPL in roms before upgrading).

yeah, you didn't have that signature in your post when I replied originally. You have a G4. be very careful which roms you flash. Flashing IPL/SPL into a G4 will brick it. Lokiwiz won't CID unlock a G4. As MFrazzz has said the only known way to CID unlock a G4 is to pay a website for it (imei-unlockers or something like that.)
I forgot to put this in my post earlier... Please use this to learn to flash:

Since we now know you have a G4, just start at G4.1 and have fun (but be careful).
I've bought myself a MDA Vario (T-mobile NL).
But i have a other provider so i treid to unlock it which failed.
So i downgraded to IPL:1.01 and SPL:1.01 using the button 1.05 rom.
And then unlocked using lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b.
I also unlocked the CID and i didn't see any errors in my dos prompt.
Now i am trying to upgrade again and it keeps failing, i get to the green red bleu screen but then it hangs. The phone works but i want newer software.
When i boot it says i have: IPL:1.01 and SPL:1.01.0000 GSM:1.12.10.0 and OS:1.5.4.2.
When i try to run lokiwitz again to unlock my CID it says that a file is inuse and doesn't finish. The first time it didn't do this.
I like to upgrade to: T-Mobile 2.26 ROM or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330080, i preffer the second rom.
Can someone tell me what is wrong, is it possible the CID unlock failed and it doesn't show?

I think you did not copied the Enablerapi.cab file in your phone correctly or executed it in there
good luck
Fixed it,
After reinstalling the EnableRapi.cab which got lost in some sort of way. Everything went A ok

Glade I was of any help,Happy flashing
Good luck
i have a g3 wizard(dopod 838) at ipl/spl at 2.21.and so i thought its ok to flash Blackdiamond 3.1 at 2.XX.The whole process kept stuck at 99%.The wizard now only enters the bootloader screen.
then i read a guide that i need to flash t-mobile 2.26 first,my bad.Ok,downloaded it and tried to flash it, then i got the "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID"
cant flash to 2.26 and the ruu for bd kept stuck at 99% still.
im stuck here and kinda confused.How do i fix this?
and if its ok can any1 suggest me a rom with touchflo which is kinda lightweight or simple?
thanx in advance guys
to start off with the easy ?'s first...
was your wizard cid unlocked before you attempted to flash?
are you able to hard reset?
yep its cid unlocked coz i've used two diff telco on it.
previously on wm5 i can hard reset

CID and SIM unlocked are not the same thing. Just because you've used a different Telco (ie: SIM) means you are SIM unlocked. To flash a rom from a different Carrier or the custom roms found here, you have to be CID unlocked. Please see the How to Flash post that is stickied at the top of this forum and follow every single step.
oic.
im pretty sure its cid unlocked coz theres no carrier id such as cingular,at&t n such on it.n no carrier specific apps previously.
this theory makes sense rite?

Just CID unlock it and quit guessing. The fact you got an invalid Vendor ID (stated in your first post) means you are still Carrier Locked. I'm trying to help, but if you think you know better, then feel free to go on your own. If you keep guessing and doing things like this, you are going to brick your phone. Either go back to the official rom that came with your phone, or follow the instructions THAT WILL WORK IF YOU DO EVERY STEP.
ok.ill do all the steps.thanks.
Simply to say, Hard SPL your device. That unlocks CID (country ID)
Regards,
Carty..
So I've upgrade my old 8125 successfully - got a new one due to a second USB port coming off main board. This new one is a slightly newer model - T2. Anywho - Was running Lokiwiz to CID and SIM unlock. Successfulyl Sim unlocked - also THOUGHT i successfully CID unlocked it (based on the progress of the program - all the way through auto hard reset),
but apparantly I didn't (as confirmed by the MTTY tool telling me I don't have sufficient privelages to create image of rom and an invalid Vendor ID error upon tmobile rom RUU). Also i get the familiar "fat format failure" message at the option screen when hard resetting.
So i can flash the heck out of the device with old and new Cingular roms as well as the TouchFlo and Touch Diamond roms but the only thing that changes after successful flashing is the splash screen and depending on the ROM the IPL/SPL number. The device remains frozen and hangs on the Boot Loader screen.
So in attempt to get this thing up and running i need a sanity check.
Mmy first question is
1) Based on info above would you agree the device is still CID unlocked?
2) Is there (cuz I can't find one) a utility besided IMEI unlock to get into the phone and CID unlock it through the RBG boot loader screen?
3) Since I UNSUCCESSFULLY CID unlocked the device using Lokiwiz in the first place - I still have the output file from Lokiwiz - is there a way that the IMEIUNLOCK progrogram from IMEI UK can read this binary file and unlock the device or do i just need to pony up the 40bucks and CID unlock this.
I can't think of another way to get back to a functioning device.
Additional Thoughts
I also had a thought - which is probably an impossibility - but is there any way if I get the IMEI unlock code from Cingular to somehow get it into the IMEI Unlock software or use some other program like MTTY to insert that code into the phone?
DAMN! - I still don't know how the CID unlock didn't go through the first time. -Maye it was because the rom didn't roll back.
BRoke Down
and purchased IMEI unlock - unlocked just fine. Now I was able to upgrade to the Tmobile rom- INstallation went through without a hitch- now I am stuck on the Tmobile Boot loader- WTF can't I get past the boot loader on any rom I use? This makes no sense. Anyone have any thoughts? IPl and SPL at this point both show 2.26. THis is really pissing me off.
Try using the SD method to create a OS ROM dump and restore it. Some people works with it.
so i tried to update to the new sprint update that fixes the 4.4 battery issues. i was on twrp recovery and i flashed back to stock recovery and tried to dirty flash the update on top. i had xposed framework installed so was pretty sure that wasn't going to work. and it didn't. now i decided to use the moto x toolkit to flash back to stock. it booted up just fine then i downloaded the update from 4.2.2 to 4.4 and the update failed. now i'm stuck with basically nothing on my phone at all. i can get to fastboot mode but thats it. cant power up cant enter recovery can't do anything.. also i had a unlocked bootloader and now its reading locked again. here is the error i'm getting.
failed to hab check for gpt_nain: 0x35
failed to hab check for gpt_gpt_backup: 0x35
CID Read Failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
CustomerID error. contact Dealer: 0xdead
No SP partition found
Fastboot Reason: Invalid CID
I've been working on this for about 7 hours and have looked up everything i could think of to try and get this fixed. i may just be missing something.. does anyone know how i could fix this?
What version is your bootloader, you can see it in the fastboot screen.
30.71(*) (sha-913941e, 2013-07-31 10:46:37)
is that was your looking for?
OK, that is the 4.2.2 bootloader. Your bootloader is locked in that screen shot - so how did you install twrp recovery?
Also your avatar shows AT&T but you mention you tried using the Sprint update, can you confirm the phone you have is a Sprint model?
Steve-x said:
OK, that is the 4.2.2 bootloader, so you should be fine to try flashing the phone again. I'd download the Sprint 4.4 package and try a full flash using rsdlite if possible. Everything on the phone will be wiped/erased of course. Then take the update to 4.4.2. Once that is done you can reinstall the latest version of twrp and root the phone again.

thanks for the reply! well i already tried that and i can't get rsd to flash. are there some special drivers i'm supposed to install? i got the motorola drivers from their web-sight. and it won't flash. it sees that there is a phone but all catagories read n/a and it just comes up with flash fails..
i'm not sure how the bootloader got locked again.. it wasn't locked before i'm pretty sure the moto x toolkit i used to flash back to stock relocked it?.. or maybe not. but i do know it was unlocked and now its locked. and when i try to get the unlock code like last time it doesn't work.
yes this is a sprint phone.
Edit: thank you for pointing that out, never changed it from years ago
If you were able to relock the bootloader and have the phone report status code 0 then you'd be the first to have done it. You can relock the bootloader but it requires a specific procedure to be followed and the phone will never indicate status code 0 again.
Review this guide - the first flashing option you should work for you, remember to remove the getvar line
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
i'm a idiot. i must have looked at that guide 15 times today and never read through all of it. just needed to deleate that one file and it all worked. thanks everyone for you help!
the status code 0 must have been incorrect. its back to status code 3 and unlocked. thank you all for your help!
