A couple of things to start with. First of all get you device back working. As mentioned by epimazzo above, force your device into bootloader and flash a stock ROM not a cooked one. Read the thread.
Once you have got your device working start reading before making any more rash decisions about upgrading to WM6 (especially when the file name hints that it is for a Prophet and not a Wizard). There is only one leaked Crossbow ROM for a Wizard. This has been cooked a few times (Orwell, PDAViet, Underground). There are many threads on the merrits of each ROM but you need to read read read before you end up with a brick.

Fixed Boot crash problem
Thank you Guys for all the help; I got it back running.
formatted : Push the network button and the voice button and reset then release the rest and you get the balck screen that has the press send button and that formats Wizard and then
Push the Power + Voice + Camera and I get the Red Green and White screen. quickly Update the ROM to the origunal one I have T-Mobile. It worked. You guys are the best. I found 5._Underground_edition_Crossbow_ROM But I was not able to flash it. I need to unlock the CID but I read that I would have to down grade the Wizard and then Unlock the CID. I am still looking for the old ROM.i think I found it. If anybody has a better way to Unlock the CID please tell me.
Thank you a Million tiles for all the Help guys.

SPL only downgrade

Folks,
Is there a way to downgrade just the SPL?
I'm having problems with a died wizard (mda vario) and my only hope is to get
a SPL downgrade from 3.08 to 1.X, so I'll be able to install again the T-mobile 2.26 rom.
My phone is totally killed at this moment and any help would be greatly apreciated!

Is there a way to flash another wm5 rom that works with IPL 1.x and SPL 3.08?
So I would be able to put the phone to work again, instead trying to downgrade SPL from 3.08...

T-Mobiles 2.26 should already downgrade it for you. I have my IPL/SPL upgraded to 3.08 and every time I get ready to flash a new ROM I load 2.26 first and it always downgrades it back to the 2.26 IPL/SPL.

Xeno,
When I try T-mobile 2.26 rom I got
"ERROR [296]: UPGRADE ONLY. The NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get another NBF file."

Ok, try this. Extract the nk file from the t-mobile rom update and then put that file in this flashing tools folder and then run the rom update utility in the folder and see if it solves your problem.
If you have the t-mobile rom in it's original form (a single exe file) and you don't know how to extract the nk file, that's actually very easy. All you have to do is use winrar, right click on the exe file and choose extract here and all the files will be extracted for you and nk file will be right there where you extracted it to.
By the way, I'm assuming that you are CID unlocked since you upgraded your IPL/SPL to 3.08.

Xeno1, thanx by the help,
Using original T-mobile 2.26 rom, it gives me File Read Error [238]
Now I'm Trying with wizard love rom, and its trying to flash
let's see what happens...sometimes my battery ends before finishing the flashing procedure, and I have to recharge again...(don't have cradle)

Hopefully the wizard love rom will work for you. Did you get that error using the flashing tools that I uploaded and the nk file from the t-mobile rom?

Oh, I just read your post in the did I kill the wizard thread. I didn't know you had an IPL of 1.xx and an SPL of 3.08. No wonder the t-mobile rom was doing that. The wizard love rom shoulkd be able to fix that for you.

Yes,
I'm using your flashing kit. First time the battery went down, so I'm trying again.
I tried this afternoon the Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 rom too, and nothing happened (it flashed 100%, no errors at all). Just my IPL turned to 1.05, and the system didn't boot up.
EDIT
I don't know if my battery is damaged too, or the flashing procedure needs a lot of energy, but I had no lucky flashing this yet. The phone very often go back to the rainbow screen (showing a lose of battery power)

There seems to be a few people with an IPL of 1.05 and an SPL of 3.08 on here and all of them seem to have the same problem you're having. I'm not sure that the flashing tools that I gave you are going to help, but you can try them and see. It's worth a try anyway. Flashing the wizard love rom is what most people have been suggesting to do to fix it though. Did you try flashing the 3.08 IPL/SPL update aagain and seeing if that fixed it?

Nice idea about update again to 3.08,
So, this is a know issue? (having 1.X IPL and 3.08 SPL?)
Is there any known recovery procedure?
I did not try to do a 3.08 update again.
At this moment I'm recharging the battery, so I'll try one more time the wizard love rom, and can try to upgrade to 3.08 again as you said...

Trying to flash again the 3.08 update I got this:
ERROR[300]
These update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility
Now I'll try the love rom again...
Any other ideas?
EDIT
I don't know if it is a battery issue or a problem with the love rom, because I've tried 5 times and got the rainbow screen at 55%, 85%, 96%, 99%, 100%, for example...I'll recharge battery for about 3 hours and give another try.
Any other good idea?

You could try using those flashing tools with the nk file in the 3.08 IPL/SPL update also and see if that works. I have a few more ideas to work on yet if those don't work.

Trying the 3.X flashing tools with wizard love rom I got the
message 300 (invalid rom, get new one..)
I still wanna try a full wizard love flashing, so we can try to conclude anything.
I'll go to sleep now, and will charge battery all night.
Tomorrow I'll give you the feedbacks...thank you Xeno1 for your help
We're almost there...

It's probably a good idea to give it a full charge before you start trying again. Heres another thing I thought of, I extracted just the IPL and SPL from the 2.26 rom and made a IPL/SPL 2.26 update for you.

Xeno1, you're a genius!
It worked!
I could not flash the wizard love rom, it's always stopped before the 100%.
I flashed your 2.26 ipl/spl rom, without hope, and it suddently started the chime!!!
Now my IPL is 2.26 and SPL is 3.08.... (the SPL didn't change anyway, but I'm glad the phone is back!!!)
Do you have a Vario MDA G3 wizard? I never could see(or even install) a WM6 on it, do you know if is it really possible? (I messed the things up trying to do that...)

Yes, I have a G3. I'm glad that worked for you. You still probably need to get your IPL ans SPL to be the same number. Running the 3.08 IPL/SPL update should be able to take care of that now.
WM6 is definitely possible on a wizard, It's been on my phone for about 2 months now. Before you flash to WM6 though, make sure you flash the whole t-mobile 2.26 rom back on it so that it has a good clean base.
Anyway, let me know how things go.

lotsa people make mistakes when flashing their rom for the first time and all.
whenever you start...when you use buttoms or love rom...BOTH your IPL and SPL should be 1.XX...before you start flashing back up. If BOTH are not 1.XX, you have to reflash with buttons or love, until they both drop down to 1.XX.
a lot of people don't read that part of the step...and seem to just flash with button or love once...have one number as 1.XX the other as 2.XX and then try to upgrade...lotsa times this causes problems.
in most cases, if you flash back down to 1.XX with buttons or love, and keep doing so til they are the same and then flash back up, things tend to work...otherwise...you can be screwed...

is it possible to flash wm6 right after flashing love rom with both ipl/spl 1.X, or should I do some other flashing before wm6?

If the WM6 ROM includes IPL/SPL, you can flash it without problem.
However if the ROM is OS only, you will get stuck at bootloader as WM6 requires 2.xx or IPL and SPL to load.

IPL locked on 1.01

Hello all,
I am somewhat of a newby here, but I have successfully unlocked my Cingular 8125 and installed a couple of WM6 ROMs. I followed the procedure of downgrading to Button 1.05 ROM, then running Lociwiz, then installing T-Mobile 2.26, then WM6 ROM. Worked great...until now.
I was going to try another ROM, and I followed above procedures (didn't know if I needed to after initial unlocking, but I did anyway). At the "install T-Mobile 2.26" step, after 1 %, I got an error 326?, nb file not for this device. I can still install cooked WM6 ROMs, and the SPL changes, but IPL always remains at 1.01. If I try to install IPL/SPL 3.08 CAB, SPL changes to 3.08, IPL stays at 1.01. I have re-installed Button Rom 1.05 and run Lociwiz a dozen times to no effect. Even the Cingular WM5 OS meant for this device gives me the same error code as the T-Mobile.
I'm hoping this is a simple newby error. Anybody have any suggestions.
Thanks for any help.
By the way, after loading Button ROM, my Wizard hangs during the customization routine at Signed_DiscoButton8.sa. I must soft reset.

I got exactly the same problem.
I am now on IPL 1.01 , SPL 3.08, radio 2.69, using rom NBD 8.3
doesnt seem a problem however...

Hey m8,
have you forgotten this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319582) ? (see last post)
mestrini said:
hahaha nice to see good spirit after all this
Here goes:
Make backup of the CID block (VERY VERY important!!!)
Make backup of the GSM calibration block (VERY VERY important!!!)
Kill wcescomm.exe process
Start mtty, enter bootloader mode in Wizard and connect
type doctest (this will write test patterns in DOC chip and clear all data!)
Flash button ROM (1.01_IPL/1.01_SPL/1.05_OS)
Flash CID block backup (don't miss this)
Flash GSM calibration backup (important)
If all ok then remember to upgrade to 2.xx before installing WM6!!

Use WST for steps 1, 7 & 8

step 2, gsm callibration block.. how do i copy?
D-Lite

use the "Read ROM" button and select the appropriate section from the list.

Code:
DOC ImgFS partition read/write test PASS
Ext ROM partition read/write test, offset=0x0, length=0xA00000
Test pattern =0xAA

--Flashing button rom @ 100%
--DATA CRASHES PLEASE CONTACT SERVICE CENTRE
--WST Says I am still on SPL 3.08 and rom is write protected.. screen of wizard says SPL 1.01 ...
--Installing Button ROM, ... SIM Lock SUDDENLY
--Screen goes funny flashing between simlock and customise
--Few soft-resets, WST now convinced on SPL 1.01 and flashed CID block
--Soft-reset
--Imei gone, flashed back GSM callib. data, softreset
--doesnt boot passed the pint of beer... going for RUU of T-Mobile 2.x
--bootloader, flashing RUU_Prodigy_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship.exe
--The NBF can not be used for your phone @95%, followed by congratiolations (stupid software)
--trying UK version...
--all give error 326
--another button flash
--*PLING IDEA* on 3.08 i couldnt doctest properly... so doing it again
-- bad idea.. same result...

damn... i thought it would work
anyway, there was point where the phone had same values for IPL/SPL (not too bad ). What is strange is why phone didn't boot anymore after flashing the GSM calibration and saying the flashes weren't suited for the phone.
What state is it on now? Wanna go again? This time, instead of flashing the 'GSM calibration data' do a simple IMEI writing and try to unlock CID before upgrading to official ROMs
sorry for this...

IPL locked on 2.26
I am having the same issue. I have tried numberous times to load my original rom and get the 326 error @ 1%. My ipl remains locked on 2.26. Is there any way to fix this? Please help.

it is now on 1.01, got my own imei back, spl 3.08, nbd 8.x rom...
everything fine again.. pretty sure it has something to do with ext.rom and/or write protection of it.. will give it another shot but not this month.. getting busy
@acmickey, not sure if you got same issue... is your IPL 1.01? else you might just have a locked phone..

Hey d-lite,
I followed your example and loaded BSD8.3 ROM and IPL/SPL 3.08 and radio 2.69. Everything seems to be fine. No missed calls. All programs work (touchflo is pretty cool). IPL is still locked on 1.01, even though SPL is 3.08.
I tend to agree with you that something is suspicious concerning the extended ROM. The first symptom I had that something was wrong was after loading Button's ROM, during the customization routine, Signed_DiscoButton8 would not install. Phone locked up and had to soft reset.
Oh, well, at least the phone works. The downside, of course, is that you can't load an original ROM, even though you can load a cooked one. Weird, huh?
Hopefully someone a lot more knowledgeable than I will figure this one out soon. Will keep checking the boards. At least we don't have bricks.

I am having the exact same problem as the 1st post but my ipl is stuck on 2.26. I am using an unlocked device and I have no problem downgrading/upgrading the spl. I also get the 326 error when I try to flash back to the original rom. (I used to be able to do this without a problem - I can't figure out what happened.)
It's really weird and I have search and searched and can't seem to figure out a solution.

which SPL you have now?

sorry.... my spl is 1.01

Right. Assuming your device is working 'normally' are you willing to try something new? If so contact me PM

what have you cooked up this time mestrini? lol
my wiz (at 1.01 still..) is doing a-ok, but always willing to go for something new so we can fix this for the communities sake...

sorry to mislead you buddy but acmickey got it all wrong and, instead of IPL stuck at 2.26 and SPL 1.01, he has same as you IPL 'locked' at 1.01
So my theory could not be verified.
cheers

Phone Stuck in Splash Screen

Hey
I upgraded my phone from a molski rom to the wm6 rom and now it is stuck in the start/splash screen with MOLSKIs splash.
I done what was told in another thread but still nothing working( Mini SD Method).
Does anybody have any other ideas?
I can get to the bootloader but that about it.
NB: Its a G3 Device and it is CID Unlocked
Is the anyway to load a rom on a memory card and install it from bootloader

You could try flashing back to the rom that your device came shipped with aka your carriers rom.

Yeh, Doesnt seem to work.
I get the error 260 in RUU.
Maybe the Wizard Love Rom will work, but I can seem to get the rapidshare link to work.

Reboot your pc. Then kill off wcescomm.exe from task manager. Then disable any firewalls and remove your minisd card from your device. This may stop the errors. Try flashing your carriers rom again.
If the error msg is still there then report back here and I will find you a working link to wizard love.

Exact same message, Error 260.
I did try to do the Mini SD card method early, everything went smooth. It said completed and when I restarted the device, nothing had changed.
IPL/SPL 2.26, but my OS Version is : 6.00
The Splash Screen Im getting is from my old Rom, Molskis AKU 3.2
Know a place that I can get the Love rom From. I have searched everywhere.

Wizard Love is located here and here.

Cant seem to get anything from Rapidshare

Yass3r, I think you performed CID unlocking while IPL is 2.26...
Look at the sticky in the forum, get the Button's 1.05 ROM, flash it so IPL and SPL is downgraded to 1.01, then CID unlock your wizard again.

Hey
I cant seem to get anything from Rapidshare, maybe my ISP blocks it. Is there anywhere else that I can get those specific Roms from?

Is my phone already dead? Please help me!
Hi, I have a similar may be the same problem!
My phone is a German t-mobile mda compact 2
First I work with “lokiwiz v.02” to unlock the SIM, and it works really well.
Then I installed “Charmer_Touch_ver._2.1” and I could calibrate the screen, and after that Win Mobile 6 installed all the extra stuff automatically. After that the device made a reboot, but it stop at the t-mobile boot screen.
Because the bootload modus is still running, I installed the newest original t-mobile software “RUU_compactII_AKU3.3_38222_382117_026921R_TMO_DE_GER_Ship” but this also didn’t solve the problem.
Hard reset didn't work and always says "Format is
The Start screen shows me this information:
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08.0000
GSM 02.69.21
OS 3.8.2.22
Is my phone really dead or could someone tell me a trick to reactivate it?

I think noone have a solution for us. I tried to send commands to phone whith mtty. and I can´t send. I don´t know why. so f we cannot send commands the sd card method will not work too. the only olution is to jtag the charmer. but can´t find any pinout information. if anyone knows this informtion, please help.
