I just got my T-Mobile MDA in the mail and searched the forums for my IPL/SPL with no such luck. I was looking at a Custom 2.26 ROM but it requires 2.xx to install.
Do I need to upgrade with another official ROM and then run this?
PS. I already CID Unlocked my phone with loki
Hmmm, searching google turned up this thread...

If you have any issues upgrading to this ROM I would advise downgrading to the origional T-Mobile 1.08 ROM first and then try installing this one again.

So the 1.08 is the original ROM?
Are these ROMs available for DL anywhere unofficially? I want to flash my device, but don't want to wait a week for a cheap mini-SD card to come in the mail... anybody have any suggestions? Is this ROM even worth backing up being as aged as it is?
I am using Summiters old 2.26 ROM, and have to send back in the phone, so I want to flash it to the HTC Rom from the HTC site, but just wondered if that would have issues or not.
My IPL SPL is 2.24 and the HTC ROM is dated newer then mine.
Think I will run into problems?
You could always flash the original rom with the noid RUU if you run into anything. Just place the nk.nbf in the same directory. And might I suggest that you CID-relock your phone prior to sending it to a service center as that procedure usually voids the warranty.
Wao
Good info thanks, although I will admit to being a noob at this so should I re-lock the device, then run the htc rom?
Your advice on the nk.nbf is strictly based on the HTC rom not loading?
Regarding the relock, where can I find a relock tool? I remember ages ago downloading and running an app called lockwiz, is that right?

yeah, lokiwiz does the unlocking but if you didn't save the output file I don't know how you are going to re-lock. Doubt they will even check that as long as you have a stock rom on the device though, so you should be ok.
So Then...
The original thought should suffice, using the stock ROM from the HTC should load ok.
I am kinda in the same boat. I need to send my 8125 in for repair. I currently have Molski's ROM. I tried to go back to the ROM for my phone from Cingular and I am getting an error 296 Upgrade only. I have tried both Cingular ROM and get the same error.
Would the nk.nbf file pretain to me? If so where do I find it and how do I use it?
Sorry - I am a noobie to flashing the ROM's so any help would be greatly appreciated.
ORIG STOCK Cingular ROM
I believe this is one of the Original Shipped ROM from Cingular.

The exact error I am getting is:
ERROR [296]: UPGRADE ONLY
This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer NBF file.
What is the NBF file and how do I get and use it?
The answer sir...

I tried that before I posted. I get the same error afterwards.
I finally got the old Cingular ROM installed but cannot go to the new ROM.
I broke down and contacted HTC. Basically they told me to do a warranty replacement.
Thanks for everyone's help.
is there anyway to "shelltools" flash my radio rom? I've been missing a lot of calls lately and it really is becoming inconvenient. I havent unlocked my phone, but i am running wm6 using shelltools (mfrazzz's stuff) and i was wondering do i even need to have my phone unlocked to flash my radio? i dont want to lose my warranty so thats why this matters to me. Any ideas guys?
You may get the official (in your case, T-Mobile, I guess) ROM to flash your phone with the full set of WM5 ROM (e.g. IPL, SPL, OS and Radio). As you are using the official ROM, you do not have to CID-unlock your phone prior flashing this official ROM. After that, you may then use shelltool to update/upgrade/flash the WM6 in, while the radio is untouched (e.g. still using the one you've flashed with the official ROM).
i thin i have done what you said already. Before i flashed mfrazzz's wm6 rom i flashed the latest tmobile rom, then i proceeded to flash the wm6 rom. I didnt use shelltools to flash the official tmobile rom obviosuly, but i did use shelltools to flash mrazzz's wm6 rom.
these are my things from what i'm using now:
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gsm 02.25.11
os 2.18.0.0
Flash the t-mobile uk radio rom 2.19.11.. that'll work for u.
ur OS is wrong if ur running wm6...
2.18 is Crossbow Reloaded... or Faria's..

ok thanks guys for all the help, but i still have a couple small questions
first, in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=253609&page=4
(post #34) he says that if you dont cid unlock before applying the radio rom you will brick the phone.
next im looking for that uk rom, but i really cant find it, can anyone point me in the right place? and even though im in the US it will still work right?
thank you guys so much! i really aappreciate it
There you go

I have flashed my RADIO ONLY several times with no consequences for my CID LOCKED G4 Wizard, here´s the link for the RADIO ONLY
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Thread/T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radio_Only.zip
You have flashed RADIO only on you G4? HOW? I am having the following problem:
I had to flash a T-Mobile German ROM to use the shelltool for the latest WM6 ROM, it worked but unforunately I have got Radio 2.69 and IPL 3.08.XXX1. (from the latest official MDA Vario ROM flash before)
After the Hardreset everything went fine - I've got WM6, but after i had changed the Clock settings and restarted my device i simply have NO SIGNAL anymore. I am currently in australia maybe thats the reason???
I tried to install the offical T-Mobile AKU 2.0, but the RUU shows me error 296 as I have installed a later ROM AKU3.3 bevor my WM6 flash.
Which tools have y used? And how is the procedure?
Cheers!!!

No, we can´t flash a ROM with bootloader other than the one you have if you have a G4 CID locked device. Unless you use a RUU with no ID (see next paragraph) and the nb.nkf file lacks of IPL/SPL, such is the case of the Wizard Love which I use before to flash any other ROM with the Shell Tool.
Read post #2 of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310954
Read carefully where talks about Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4, same procedure for splash screen applies to RADIO. This doesn´t work for OS, for OS you have to use Shell Tool.
Good luck!
Hi,
Ages ago I upgraded my G4 wizard to WM6.1. Now it turns out I need to put it back to WM5 - but can't find a RUU to use.
The original ROM was from O2, but that is not vital. Does anyone know where I can get a suitable RUU from? I found one that would, I think, only work with a G3 device, but have not found one yet I can use...
Cheers,
Ben
I thought I had found one, but the RUU complains that it is the wrong version (Error 300) and I get nowhere. I still have WM6.1 working fine... how infuriating :0p
Well,as you say its a G4 and upgraded to wm6.1,ok
First,how did you upgrade to wm6.1,which method did you apply to upgrade,was it SoftSPL or HardSPL ?
If you applied SoftSPL,then,just simply download official stock rom and flash it,it'll work,but if you applied HardSPL and the IPL/SPL are changed,then first you'll have to Remove HardSPL,revert back to Original Official IPL/SPL of the carrier and then you'll be able to reflash wm5,ok
Let me warn you here,if the phone is HardSPL and you flash any Official stock rom without removing HardSPL first,will 'Brick' your phone.

hi there,
Actually i had the problem with G4 on how to upgrade to WM6, I tried but no luck, haven't tried either SoftSPL or HardSPL yet but when I flashed my WM5 original ROM, I didn't have any backup at all so I kept searching answers here for days, & finally I tried the Wizard Love ROM which one of the Senior Member here said it will work. It works for me & now I'm using WM5 Wizard Love Rom with CID LOCKED.
Hope I can help u with that..
P.S.
If anybody can teach me how to upgrade my Wizard G4 (T-Mobile/MDA - black) to WM6 (any rom) or the download links for SoftSPL ONLY! they said it's safe..
Would gladly appreciate!
Thanks...

Guys,
I have currently Duttys HD 2.8 installed which is pretty perfect but my HD has problems with reception (drops call during calling, etc.). So I assume Hardware failure and need to go back to German Stock Rom.
The issue is now that there is no new German Romupdate yet and SPL is 1.14 (or 1.15).
How can I go back to this stock Rom. When I install it with SPL 1.56 it will not work I assume.
Any ideas?
cheers
chefffe
the german shipped rom should match your phone.
You shouldn't need anything except the shipped setup.
Have you tried it yet?
If you have Duttys V2.8, use USPL to flash to original stock rom
EDIT
More info can be found here
but will the installed SPL 1.56 work with an old german Rom (after Rom flash with using USPL 2.5)?
As far I understood old Rom need also old SPL Version?
you must have flashed back to spl 1.14 in order to install duttys rom. uspl is only temporarily for one flash procedure. you keep spl 1.14
so the only thing to do is to flash your stock rom. that´s all

no .. thats exactly the problem! with duttys 2.8 you need first flash back to 1.14 but then to install spl 1.56 which i have currently installed. i think this new spl will not work with old stock german rom.

Are you sure the reception problems derive from the ROM? Maybe you have to try a different radio!

When you flashed to Dutty's 2.8 you had to have an SPL v 1.14 and then install an original HTC 1.56 rom. During this process it upgraded your SPL to v 1.54. If you now want to downgrade to an older HTC German rom that is not based on SPL v 1.54 all you need to do is download said rom and install it after running USPL.
You can check this by placing your phone in the bootloader right now (turn it off. hold volume down button while pressing power on button). It should say SPL 1.54.0000. If it does then all you need to do is run USPL and then whatever rom you want to load. When you load the older stock German rom it will replace your current SPL with the one from that rom. I have yet to see an original / stock HTC rom that does not include the SPL in it. And if you check the Blackstone Wiki these are the instructions...

Like MAMeingast said, have you tried flashing another radio? You should try running USPL and flashing the radio you were using before Dutty's 2.8 first in my opinion... and see how this works!
I tried 3 different Radios.
The very strange thing now is, that I flashed the new wwe update rom (with spl 1.56). Then it worked pretty normal. So I flashed back Duttys (because much better) and have the same problems again. I flashed now again back to wwe and for the last 4-5 hours I have normal reception ???
Thats really weird because I thought Dutty is using the same 1.13.25.24. or even more strange if the radio is not changed with his rom.

Dutty's rom does not include the radio but it may be changing the rilphone.dll! I'm not sure. But it's still weird because if you flash the WWE 1.56 rom and then Dutty's all should be well and good.
I need to revert my last info. Also with the 1.56 wwe Stock Rom my Phone is not working properly. I tested now 6hours and it was several times not reachable although I had full reception. I think my HD is really broken .. **** ...
Therefore I need to install the old german stock Rom with SPL 1.14.
I still dont have a clue how to do that

It's actually quite easy! Do you still have the stock German HTC ROM with SPL 1.14? If not, download it again. Put your phone in bootloader, run USPL, and load the stock German HTC rom. That's it! You can verify your SPL reverting back from 1.54 to 1.14 by going into the bootloader afterwards.
exactly thats it. I didnt thought that spl 1.14 is also included in this rom so I was a bit afraid. But I tried and it worked without problem. Thanks man ;-)

So your phone worked fine with the stock rom?
i´m with german e-plus provider and have to assume poor recepion qualities with my touch hd, either stock or custom rom / radio roms ...
only thing that helped was disabling 3g - back to 56k internet
So: did you reflash work? Phone usable again?
