Who knows, you didn't tell anything useful about your phone or what ROMs or anything else. Try the link in my sig. Read it, do ALL the steps, if you think you can skip something--don't, if "it doesn't work"--then you didn't follow all the steps.
Best of luck,

I think this may be part of the problem... How long did you wait? All roms stall at some point and can stall for like 5 mins (sometimes more). Don't do ANYTHING, unless your PC gets an error. Its still working. If it sits for more than 10 mins then you probably do have a problem, but it can sit for what seems like forever sometimes. Just be patient.

This is an error that you can get on G4 devices. What are you doing in step G3.4? Read G4.6!
but in the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
is described how to determine the wizard type and my ipl/spl is 2.21 and thats G3 device.

That error indicates you aren't CID Unlocked. Is your phone booting now? or are you at the bootloader (rainbow) screen? If you are at the bootloader, then flash your official rom to get a working device. Once you have a working device, then go to step G3.6 and do the CID Unlock procedure.
ALso remove your SD card while you are doing all of this until you get it CID Unlocked and onto the TMobile 2.26 official rom (G3.8).
AND yes, you have a G3, so you don't (and shouldn't) be in the G4.x steps.

This is my last post for the day as I can't handle anymore of this (its not just you peran, but the other half dozen posts I've read in the last hour or so where people just aren't following the instructions they are given. These methods are tried and true, and they work. And yes, this is the way to CID Unlock your phone unless you pay to have it done)... In a previous post to you, it was stated you had to get back to an official rom first. Have you done this (your replies indicate you just continue to do other roms)? You need to get the latest rom from your carrier and get your device working again. Get it all charged up, pull out your SD card, then try flashing back to the button rom (I would also suggest you try pulling the button rom down again in case there is something wrong with your previous download of it).
Its the weekend, I'm going to go enjoy the spring weather
i did it like u suggested mfrazzz. i know that my phone isnt CID unlocked. but that is my problem. i read the mentioned article x-times and did it like described but the problem is : when i downgrade to button 1.05 rom then my pda stuck at 98% and i get the message from the update program on my pc that the downgrade was successful. but it isn't. why? till this step u cant do much wrong i think... :-(
Have you flashed back to the official rom from your carrier? Until you do that and get your device back working there is no point in trying to continue to flash the button rom (or any other rom). You have to get back to your carrier's official rom first. None of your posts indicate you have done that.

Hi, After the soft reset comand, I removed the battery from my Wizard. After that the followin problem was appear: the phone is bringing up to the splash screen and STOP on this position.I have tried to download another Rom but the problem still is the same. My Phone is not CID unlock and before this, I cooked own rom like is writen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043 . So any idea how to wake-up my phone MDA Vario.
Ok forgive me if I'm wrong here, I don't really want to judge before I know the full story, but seems to me your brain went on strike momentarily. First rule of flashing any unofficial rom CID UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE. Anyways sorry, I just wanted to say something so it doesn't happen to you again, that said, what rom did you try to upgrade to? what rom did you try to downgrade to after that? is your device a G3 or G4?
If your device is a G3 I would recommend downgrading to this rom by xelecin
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_Wizard_1081002_108_10910_ENG_US.exe
it will ask you if you want to CID unlock your device at the start so you shouldn't need to worry about forgetting this time , if you can't connect your device to activesync just go into the bootloader (hold the camera, voice dial buttons while pressing the reset button) and once it connects run the set-up.
Oh another thing before I forget..... do some searching and read up a bit, because this is a pretty common topic on this forum, best of luck and hope everything works out ok. If not, report back.
*edit* I just noticed the thread that you linked to, I actually wasn't aware that this was possible, but anyways I think it's still much safer to CID unlock your device if possible, and another thing you might try replying in that thread if it doesn't work out since they should be more knowledgeable in the matter..... and that would help keep the forums less cluttered *edit*
Thanks, for your help, Unfortunately you are totaly right for my stupid act (again). At first i tried to solve the problem alone , but whole day I roam through this forum to find solution but I can't find the same problem like my. Maybe because of my ..... brain .Anyway I am with G3. NOW I have
IPL 1.0
SPL 2.26
GSM 01.09.11
OS 1.5.4.2
This is after this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116
I tried also to download also and Molski's 2.26.10.2 AKU2.3 Rom a.k.a. 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom, but the problem is the same : The splash screen is running and STOP and.... nothing.
I can go to bootloader and can download new rom, but I can't start fhe phone.
Yeah I know these forums aren't the easiest in which to look for info. So you can go into the bootloader, that's good. Don't try to go to a AKU2.x rom or later, keep it under that, so no 2.26 roms at all. 105, or 108 roms should be good.
Did you try the rom from the link I provided or the one on the thread? and afterwards did it go into the phone at all? My friends MDA had a similar problem last week, caused by the same thing, though in your case I see the SPL isn't updating when you install new roms on his it was the os that wasn't updating, but as soon as I installed that rom I recommended it booted up fine, then I updated his device to molski's 2.3.
I'll check back in a few so let me know how's it going.

Ok, but tell me how to solve this :
"qiote"
8. Open ActiveSync, Explore and copy enablerapi.cab from your PC's C:\ (remember that's where you extracted lokiwiz to...) to you device, I don't care where.
9. Pick up your PDA, File Explorer, find the enablerapi.cab and click it.
"quote"
I don't have access to the phone explorer and phone at all.
masr1979 I have tried the rom you give me, but it look like there is some things I don't understand: When I start the exe file i have choice <continue> .Whet I type <c> 2(two) time the soft tell me <no device found> and order me to continue with copy ???. After few seconds tell me that Unlocker ..... Done!, and start HTC wizard Unlocker and NOTHING !!! Stop on this position more then 15 min. and only the led for charging on the phone is active.
Forget all about unlocking. Until you can boot the device completely it'll never work.
Try and install an official 2.x ROM on your device.
My suspicion is that you originally has a G4 device, which is bad because if you DID have a G4 you have a brick now...
Can you remember your phones old ipl/spl? for your sake I hope it wasn't something in this format 2.XX.000X.

you have a G4 wizard, you need to install the wizard love rom. I believe if you read around, you may be able to find out where to find it. Also read some info about unlocking your CID and SIM for a G4 Wizard.

Hi there,
If you ever happen to get stuck in the IPL / SPL screen, try the following (it happened to me and I almost got a heart attack...):
"If your device doen't boot after flash procedure with my shelltool you should
1) Hold "Camera" while short pressing the "reset" button. Your device will enter in bootloader mode. You will se 3 stripes.
2) You should connect your usb cable to your device and pc and run RUU and flash this rom.

Suggestion.
Go to IMEI Check, buy the unlock and have fun upgrading and downgrading your ROM.
It cost you some money but you can restore your device without to much trouble.

You can only unlock a G3 Wizard like that. G4's are different and have to be unlocked via imei check. The OP has a G4 based on their IPL/SPL they posted.
I can't seem to get my hands on this file. I've tried several places but no joy. Any thoughts on where I can lay my hands on the Wizard_Love ROM?

Got it and now the phone is working again!
So do I need to unlock the phone and install another ROM or will it work fine with this ROM?
Thanks, again for all your help!

Based on your original post, you have a G4 Wizard. You can't do the standard unlock like the stickies from Dr. P and Faria describe. You have to use the other sticky for installing roms with a CID locked phone. Your other option is to go to Imei Check and do their unlock (will cost about USD 40). Its all online (you give them your IMEI and some other info with your payment and then they send you the files to do the unlock). But even then, you still have to use G4 roms (so you need to be careful or you'll be back in this situation or worse).
BTW:I've never messed with a G4 Wizard so I'm only stating what I've read. Go read and re-read the CID Locked install procedure in the stickies to learn more.
Hi,
I tried flashing my rom using the shell tool today and it did not work. So I tried a hard reset and now its stuck in the first screen where its a blue background and it says
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
os 10.2.0.8
I was able to get past the RGB screen but now I have no idea what to do.
I tried flashing it to the WM6 if that helps anything and it was on the official cingular rom before
Why are you using the Shell Tool when you have a G3 (based on the IPL / SPL that you posted)? Just CID unlock your device and save yourself a ton of headaches.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
And yes it helps to know you are flashing WM6, but which one?
I was trying to flash it to PDAMobiz_Wizard_WM6_G3_AmazingRom_V.1.1_by_Hong.exe
I got my machine back to the 225 rom but I just cant seem to get the instructions on flashing it to work as I cant flash to button, wizard love, or tmobile and therefore cant get it to flash properly.
just throw it in bootloader mode (press soft reset with the stylus and then quickly hold the camera button.) When you get there just connect the wizard to the usb port and flash with the latest official rom. It really should work
I did. my problem is trying to get it to WM6. I have tried the official rules by the doctor, but I cant unlock it and I cant downgrade the rom. I cant install the tmobile rom as well. It seems every rom I try to install does not work.its driving me crazy.
Why can't you unlock it? Dr. P's unlocking instructions with Lokiwz are pretty straightforward and easy to do -- if you follow them step by step. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to unlock it.
PLUS -- once you're unlocked, you can flash to ANY ROM -- ANY TIME. No need to downgrade and re-unlock every time you want to flash a newer, better ROM.
I followed the instructions. But they did not work for me. I cant goto either of the roms suggested and I cant unlock my phone. it just doesnt work for me.

One last thought --
If you can't downgrade to Buttons' 1.05 ROM to unlock, maybe you could downgrade to the original Cingular-shipped ROM, which is v1.08.
I've uploaded it to Rapidshare for you if you want to try it.

is a 1.04.10 radio a valid radio for a 2.xx rom?
If you are stuck, the only/best way to recover is to flash an official rom from your carrier. You can get to the bootloader so you are NOT bricked. You are just flashing roms that have a CID that doesn't match your phones. Try the button rom or the wizard love rom that the unlocking stickies mention repeatedly.
Were your IPL/SPL 2.18 before you started?
Read the Wiki, Read the stickies. For every person that says the process doesn't work there are 100 that it works flawlessly for and 99% of the time those that can't get it to work don't follow all the steps in order or just outright skipped steps or substituted with what THEY thought was better. There is a reason for each and every step in the guides. IF you follow them properly you WILL NOT have any issues.
For the situation you are in now: STOP trying to flash custom roms, you MUST get your phone back to a usable state before you go down that path again. Use your carriers latest available rom to recover your device.
Also you are lucky to get an answer at all because your question is asked in almost every single new thread and every single ROM thread. The answers are already easily found if you take the time to look yourself.
thanks man, i tried the original orange rom and it worked.

Im verry sorry for those noob questions but it look like a heva the same rom that i had before i messed it all up.

Pro Black 3[1].0.1.exe
CB-AIRAF.exe

You will not be able to install a CUSTOM rom until you CID unlock. I don't believe the Black 3.0 rom is available for the Wizard. It is a Hermes rom. There are several WM 6 roms available for the wizard, you should probably look in the WM6 sub-thread once you get yourself completely CID unlocked.
The tutorial tells you everything you need to know, even if you don't know anything about anything. Just read the instructions follow the links to download the roms/tools that it is talking about. If you don't understand the instructions you can post in that thread and the authors or others will help you there. Though they most likely will not respond until you show that you have read and at least have an idea of what you are trying to do, where you started where you are and where you would like to end up. If you don't understand the instructions there is always the IMEI unlockers site that will give you a utility to do it if you want to pay them for it.
Why are you trying to upgrade? Do you need to upgrade? Are you willing to void your warranty on your phone? Can you live without it if something drastic happens and you truly do brick your device, in most cases you will not be able to exchange your phone under warranty? If you haven't defined the first question or answered no to any or all of the other questions you shouldn't be rom flashing, especially not with unapproved roms that aren't supported by your carrier. You need to measure the potential gains against the risk of doing these things to determine if it is right for you. Once you get unlocked and flash a couple of roms you will see that it is easy and relatively safe as long as you read and follow the instructions they are tried and true and do work if they are followed properly.

The Wizard Love rom is another that people use when the Button rom doesn't work for them. I don't have a link to it but I am sure it is linked in the Upgrading or G4 sub-forums. Maybe even in the Wiki. Sorry haven't been spending much time in the Wizard forums as I only flash my wizard when something breaks, or a new feature is added -- My wife uses that phone now .
There is always the pay to unlock website but you should be able to get it unlocked with either button or the wizard love rom.
Just out of curiosity how long do leave it sitting at 98% before you determine that it is stuck? All roms "stick" at a few points during the flashing process. If you didn't wait at least 5 minutes or get an error on your PC you probably didn't wait long enough. Best advice I have on this is disable all power management/screen savers on your PC set up the flash. Once it starts leave the room and close the door for no less than 30 minutes. This way you can be sure that you didn't interrupt it. For a Wizard the flash should complete in 10 minutes or less. For the Hermes it can take a full 30 minutes depending on your flashing method an which components you are flashing. It is normal to hang for a few minutes at different points during the flash process, just because there is no transfer doesn't mean something isn't being decompressed/written on the device from what has already been transferred over.

Yes well i waited the first time for like 15 minutes then my computer shut down the update programm
today i waited like 30 minutes cos i even had dinner.
Well ill try the love rom some other time cos i need my phone to work sunday becose i need tomtom
thank you for your information i appreciate it verry much
i noticed that the original rom that does work: RUU_Prodigy_2180103_21801103_OR_NL_DUT_Ship.exe that one, also flashes red and green while installing so i guess thats normal...
Hello,
I've tried to update my phone using the shelltool method and my phone crashed during the update.
Now it can't boot. it's freezed on the splash screen.
I've tried to put the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE rom and it does nothing.
I have a G3 device, the IPL/SPL is now 1.01
Thanks in advance for your help
Flash back to official carrier ROM.
I have already tried using the bootloader method. it tells me that the device is not compatible
Try it doing the storage card method.
I also tried and it tells me I don't have the right
Before the first update, I have made a backup of the OS ROM but the file format is NBA. Is there a solution to reuse my original ROM?
In Addition to the SD method, the bootloader is password protected
Try reflashing the ROM you were flashing in the first post using the RUU in bootloader mode. You shouldn't need to use the shelltool to flash that one. Then when you get that flashed on there do your CID unlock. After that you should be able to flash any ROM you want.
I've tried tu put Button's ROM using the RUU in bootloader mode and its still blocked
Try flashing the wizard love rom then. I'm not sure where it is at the moment, but you can find it on here somewhere.
I also tried this ROM
I have made some research.
At the beginning (when my first upgrade crashed) someone on a chat told me to do a doctest.
No the problem is that the memory is damaged.
When I try a hard reset, I have the message "format is failed"
Any idea?
You've got me on this one, I don't think I've run across anyone else ever having this problem. By the way, did you remove any miniSD card that you had in the phone before flashing? Having one in there while flashing tends to cause people problems.
Also, I just realized that you said that you used sheeltool to flash the first time when you flashed the button rom and that it changed your IPL/SPL to 1.01. Flashing using shelltool won't change your IPL/SPL, it skips those files if they are added to a rom since they are the files that will destroy a G4 device. So, if it did change them then that's where you did something wrong. Why don't you start over and explain exactly what you did on the first flash with the button rom and see if we can't figure it out from there.
OK I'll explain from the beginning
Before beginning the flash, I have made a backup of the ROMs (OS, Radio and Ext) with aWizard.
I wanted to put a french WM6 ROM. In the the tuto, it was told to use shelltool to do this. For an unknown reason, the phone crashed. So I had to reboot the phone because it was freezed and after this point it did'nt boot.
I went on a chat to get help and someone told me to start the bootloader and with mtty enter the command doctest (I think he's a joker becose today I saw this command is very dangerous).
When I saw this command doesn't work I discovered this forum and tried 2 of the 3 methods to unbrick a phone in the wiki.
I can't use the SD one because the boot loader is password protected.
I also discovered today that the IMEI number doesn't correspond to the label on the phone.
Here is my story .

I'can't use imei check because my imei is invalid
Why do you think your IMEI is invalid? If the only reason is that it shows a different one on the box than it shows in aWizard or whatever program you're using, don't worry about it because that seems to happen quite a bit. Usually it's because it got put in the wrong box. Anyway, you're in luck, I have a program that I believe I downloaded off of XDA which is a version of the IMEI-checks unlocker with the master unlocker code for all wizards.
Well, I was going to upload that tool for you but after trying 6 times to upload it and it failing each time I figured that maybe I should wait a little bit and try again later.
I think the IMEI is different because the one given from imei-checks is different from the one on the label back the battery.
Also, when I tried to order an UNL file with the IMEI given by the unlocker, they told me its a wrong number
Lets try this again.
Still failing to upload. I'm not sure why, but I'll try yet again later.
I sent you in PM the address of my ftp server
