I did an upgrade for my wizard and yes the CID was unlocked on my phone before going for my second upgrade...
[big edit]
Something went wrong, the updater attempted a second update which succeeded....
I only have these questions:
- Will the phone be working 100% or will I have some hik-ups because of the error I got during upgrading and then re-upgrading it again…?
- Did some of you had an error during an upgrade?
I can edit also!
Thank you
@Dr Puttingham
The topic start was indeed to descriptive, but it was something I needed to get off my chest albeit executed in a very poor way.
My sincerest apologies for that.
Very first time I ever tried to flash the ROM in my 8125 (was up to the latest Cingular release), it errored out on me. Didn't have any problems after doing it again.
Since then, I've CID unlocked and flashed to several different ROM's, right now running one of Summiters ROM's..
@sk0t
Thank you, good to know that future upgrading went without problems.
So far it has. And I've done a weird path of upgrading and downgrading and such.
Started @ 1.8. Upgraded to 2.5. Downgraded back to 1.8 (SPL stayed at 2.25). CID unlocked phone. Upgraded to 2.17. Now running a Summiter 2.3 (I think) ROM w/ the radio from 2.17.
So far so good.. I also keep wiping my extended ROM clean using Summiter's multi-installer. I find it's easier just to get rid of the damn thing. And if I really need something from the extended ROM, I just go nab an extracted one from the FTP.

Thank you for the big edits. As for your question, agreeing with sk0t, things should be better. I've felt it necessary to reflash a couple of phones a couple of times before I felt that they took the update. I've rebuilt many phones many times and have have learned to watch the IPL/SPL closely. If you really want to make sure that you're fully unlocked and upgraded, downgrade to the early Button 1.05 and then back to your 2.x watching your IPL /SPL.
Glad you got that off your chest btw, must have been a *****!
@Dr. Puttingham
Thank you for the extra info, I will do a re-flash in the near future while keeping my eyes on the IPL/SPL. (and thanks for your edit )
I also want to downgrade. I now have "Mr. Clean" AKU 2.3 ROM installed. I only have problems with it. So you suggest to go back to 1.05 or 1.08 and then to 2.21?
I have read that this maybe can brick your device. I have a mda vario.
(I already have tried to downgrade to the dutch t-mobile rom 2.21 directly. The setup fails when it restarts my vario, nothing serious. It's already CID unlocked.)
my wizard is stuck at the ipl spl screen, i just tried to throm farias new rom on it even though it is cid locked (i used shelltool)
now this happened
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gsm 02.25.11
os 2.18.0.0
i dont even know how to enter bootloader mode, i searched the forums but its so hard to find things, im serious, it's a problem ive had before, any help and i would love you

reset and hold the camera button,you will see a 3 color screen...connect to the PC it should say usb in the bottom of the device screen....now install the latest update from your carrier.
PS
for future reference if you device is ended CID unlocked you do not need to use shelltools...just use the update utility provided by the rom.
also this info has been posted 1 trilion times

Its not that hard to look at the stickies (thats were the really important stuff is located).
Here's a great post for you to use:

thank you faria, bwesty and mfrazzz. I got to the bootloader screen and reflashed it with the latest tmobile rom. I'm sorry ive been asking so many questions, but i've been getting some mixed answers.
like someone told me (ill give the link to prove it) that flashing the latest tmobile rom will cid unlock your device. Im pretty sure thats not the case. And faria i did your latest rom and it got stuck at 99%, and i figure thats because it's not cid unlocked
i did search the forums mfrazzz and it came to no avail. You're right, if i looked really hard i could have found it somewhere, deep in a thread, but what do you expect from someone who just thought he bricked his $400 phone?
there should be a section for itself titled "I just broke my phone, how do i fix it" And inside that thread there should be every way to fix every situation. And i dont mean buried, i mean in the first post. Just a thought, it would have really helped and stopped me from bothering you guys
But as for now im going to go to the sheeltool thread and see if they can help me, i still can't get that to work.

A really useful thread (besides the WIKI is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 it, by the way, is the very first item on the WM6 forum, this forum has Dr. P's EXCELLENT thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 plus other useful stickies) It seems that your phone is 'working' after flashing the TMo 2.26, the first thing you need to do is find out if you have a G3 or a G4, then CID unlock appropriately. Skip the shelltool stuff for now, if you don't understand what phone you have, you will be on the road to "brick city".

demontefixo thanks for the quick reply
but, i do know things about my phone, i just have little questions that no one really explains throughly. I know i have a g3, i know about cid unlocking and how to do it. I've into the registry on both my (ex) tmobile dash and now the mda. I'm currenty looking for the best new rom that i want to flash, but i can't void my warranty and that's why im using shell tools. I've been reading this forum for quite a while, and i don't consider myself a newbie (i cant control what other people think) but i do need help on certain areas, and im sorry for even needing that

CID unlocking (as far as I know) won't void your warrantee--at least it hasn't voided mine (TMo US), but YMMV. That said, it isn't a bad thing to ask for help, (cross posting is generally frowned on) we like to help people who aren't lazy or stupid.
When you do post for help, generally the more info provided the better, but I sense you know that. If your phone is a G3, I am not really sure why you are seeking help in the G4 forum....anyway.
IMHO, Faria's WM6 works really well, and I haven't had serious issues with it. There are others that love different ROMs or will cook their own, great! Nottoosmart has a good looking ROM (a Mun derivative ROM) everyone will have an opinion, I know what works well for me. So "what is the best"? Hmm Faria's WM6 (for me).

While keeping your phone CID Locked does keep you from voiding your warranty in that respect, flashing a custom rom on your phone will technically void your warranty also (although unless do something nasty to it, you should be able to get it back to the official rom and with it still CID locked then you should be fine). Example: You flash the latest and greatest WM6 on your phone and then your USB connector breaks and your SD slot doesn't work. You now can't get back to WM5 so they will know if they look. Far fetched, but I'm just throwing it out that if you are really concerned about your warranty, flashing custom roms may not be a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you not to do it, I'm just saying that doing pretty much anything in the upgrading and WM6 forums here is basically voiding your warranty. But I think in most cases, the carriers don't look that close.
And please ask for assistance when you have issues. There are so many posts though, its hard to tell who has really read and who hasn't sometimes. Just remember that the stickies at the top of the forums are your friends and there is really good info there to help you get unstuck (most of the time).
i love you guys
Aloha everyone,
I have tried to not post for about 3 weeks but I just can't move forward. I have read and tried to follow everything on the site but I am just confused. I know this is a developers site and I am very intimiated to be castigated by you guys but...it's the internet so what the hell.
I have found numberous instruction threads pertaining to updating ROMS on the Wizard. It seems that up until recently there was only one way to do things but now there are many. As I try to answer questions I come into conflict over which way I shoudl be heading.
I currently have a working WIZ100 that boots with IPL 2.21.0001 SPL 2.21.0lip with GSM 2.25.11 and OS 2.25.11.1. I somehow got to this point, I think by following the instructions to get hardSPL on my device and booting on startup. I did not know if I next needed to find a ROM and if so then how to get that ROM activated on my device or what programs to do this with. I know that the threads spell it out but the threads pertain only to direct assumptions; the assumption that my head is not in my ass.
I wanted to attempt to put a new rom on here, for fun and to play around with something new. Perhaps increase reliability or to get WM6 going. I am stuck now though. Part of me wants to turn back and load the original ROM from the HTC site and the other part of me wants to try a new ROM as I already have this thing booting to the 0lip SPL.
Is anyone out there willing to help me either via this thread, personal message or IM?
Since you have already installed Hard SPL you should be safe to go ahead and pick virtually any ROM you choose on there. I don't have a lot of experience with Hard SPL yet, except for installing it on my kaiser, but the one thing I would guess that you should make sure that the ROM you want to flash doesn't have would be an IPL/SPL update included. As far as I know, I don't think any of the public ones that you find on here have them but make sure you read the chef of the ROM's entire post to make sure. And, if you magically happen to find my ROM somewhere, which you shouldn't since I only gave it to 2 people to try, don't flash it because mine does include an IPL/SPL update.
From my best understanding you have already loaded HardSPL and now are CID unlocked. If this is the case then I would recommend going forward and flashing a new rom to your device. Just go to the Wizard Mobile 6 thread and find one you like, and flash it.
Simple as that.
I appreciate your replies.
1) I am clarified like butter! What program do I download and use to flash the ROM to the Wiz, this has been a source of confusion for me.
2) If I download and install the HTC Cingular ROM from HTC, will that overwrite the HardSPL and return my phone to Factory Default, including the radio areas? In other words do I rid myself of 2.21.0lip?
Thanks for not beating my head in...very polite you devs are...
I like beating people's heads in, and you are far too polite, that I am actually having a very slight guilty twinge! Damn you. I have a G3 myself so I cannot help much, however, I found this sticky which may help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332320
I do know that once you choose your rom, you open the folder and run the item marked as ruu.
Now if you only had a G3, then I could fry you like the noob you are.
I suppose at some point, I should make a point of reading/learning about G4's. I know they are a far different animal from my G3.
That's the reason I said not to flash a ROM that contained an IPL/SPL upgrade since there is the possibility that it may overwrite Hard SPL, although I'm not positive of that, but better safe than sorry especially if it it's not an official ROM that carries the correct IPL/SPL format for a G4. If it doesn't contain the correct format for a G4 it could ruin your phone. If you flash an official ROM though and it overwrites it you can always just reinstall Hard SPL again and keep flashing. I hope this makes sense.
As for the files you need to flash a new ROM, they're usually included with the ROM. If they're not then just let me know and I'll upload them for you.
Good that you asked before damaging your (expensive) device...
Every Flash version comes with a RUU (Rom Update Utility) you just run that proggy and it does the rest.
To make it easier, look for a rom that states it's G4 safe (no IPL/SPL included), so you don't have to mess around with the inner files. If you want to, begin your tests with the TNT series, the latest build, stated in my sig is G4 safe, after that you'll be able to know the initial procedure.
Good Luck.
Thanks for the info.
Do I execute the ruu from Windows XP or from the SD card ont he device?
Why am I have a hard time searching for and finding TNT 5.2.1921 TouchFlo ROM?
The rom update utlity gives me an error when I try to update. Should I try to do all this from the sd card?
Well, I am plugging along. I rebooted after an error 300 came up on the rom utility. Any suggestions for me?
I found this thread, back in business, thanks for your help guys.
I guess my only unanswered question is...if I use the HTC ATT exe from htc.com will it kill the hardSPL and restore the computer back to normal?
If you have ROM on your desktop, Connect your phone to your computer via USB, open up Activesync, uncheck the check box in settings that allows USB connections. Make sure you have at least 50% battery, then put your phone into bootloader mode. (soft reset while holding down the camera button- keep holding the button for 5 sec.) a tri-color RGB screen should come up. This is boot loader mode. Then run the rom update utility program, and everything is automatic from there on. once it is done flashing the phone will restart itself.

Try it and find out. I'd kind of like to know the answer to that one too, although my phones a G3 and already CID unlocked anyway. You can always reinstall Hard SPL over again if it does.
So this worked out well for me overall. Installing HardSPL to my G4, and then using a correct bootloader with the right ROM (to review).
I am having one issue.
I have the OEM ROM, however the RUU gives me an error. Is there a documented way to restore the phone to an original status? Is it even necessary?
I ask due to problems since my upgrade to the TNT rom. I am noticing a lot of missed calls and people have complained. Is this an issue with the 8125 and the particular ROM?
I don't know what to ask, or how to search for this. Thanks for any input you can offer.
Otherwise the TNT rom is awesome. I do miss the voice dialing though. Thats another search.
Actually, that's usually an issue with your radio version. Try using either version 2.19 or farias 2.69 and see if that fixes your problem. You should be able to find both of them in the wiki and you may want to try both of them and see which one gives you the better reception because sometime one will work much better than the other for you depending on your location.
By the way, you don't have to be CID unlocked or have hardspl installed to update your radio so you shouldn't have an issue with the RUU giving you an error. If you do, let me know and I'll upload a different RUU for you to try.

So the Rom is broken up into major parts. Those parts must ineract with one another, so that would be why my radio version may be at cause?
Yep. The ROM can contain the IPL, SPL, OS, Splash Screens, GSM (the radio), and extended ROM, any of which can be changed or upgraded individually without affecting the other parts of the ROM (for all intents and purposes anyway). That means you can change your radio version without it deleting all of your settings or your installed apps in your OS, etc etc.
Since you still upgrade each individual part using a RUU that is able to update any of the parts you still get a warning when you run it that it will delete all of your files, but as long as the update that you're running doesn't include a new OS you can ignore those warnings.
I decided to back out of the entire upgrade and move back to WM5 Official Cingular HTC ROM. I am stoked that I now know the full process of taking a G4 through hardSPL, ROM updates and restoral.
I was too scared to try any radio updates or fixes. Maybe when I upgrade phones I will come back to playing with the 8125 but for now, I just need a good functioning phone for work.
Do these Cingular radio fix cabs apply to a standard phone or only to upgraded ones?
I'm new to all of this, so please bear with me.
I know that the device is G4. I've already played around with flashing to where I've only flashed once and flashed using the Faria G4 step by step...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298967
I'd like to try a different ROM, but different things I've read have mentioned flashing back to the original ROM and starting over. However, I don't have the T-Mobile ROM. In the end, I would be using the device on ATT's network. I didn't know if I could "start from scratch" by using the ATT rom (RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.exe).
I pretty much want to blow away the T-Mobile stuff as I'll never use them.
I'm doing all of this because "something's wrong". It seems that any use of the wi-fi and using IE kills the battery. If I set the power management to anything other than "best performance" I cannot surf the net as everything "times out" and pages don't load.
The reason I started all of this is because I needed the newer version of WM so I could connect to an AP using WPA with AES. The WM5 that was on the MDA didn't have AES.
Any ideas/thoughts/help?

I never flash to an original ROM when trying new ones. I don't believe in the myth that an official ROM provides a strong base for upgrading. It's all a matter of deleting bytes and writing new ones so why bother?
If you don't want operator customizations then just do a hard-reset (loosing all user data) and soft-reset before the customization process. But i strongly advise to try new 6.1 ROMs out there that you'll have a great system to work with (don't forget to use an overcloking/CPU sacling app to get speed)

YUP! Very well said m8 excellent tip and info,cudn't agree more myself.I have never reflashed to any stock rom before any upgrade and never had any problems.
I'll just add here,as you have a G4 device,don't use 'Shell Tool',just 'HardSPL' it and you'll never feel the need to reflash any official stock rom to have a solid base.
Cheers!

That's one other thing I wanted to check. The instructions I've read on this site explain pretty well the step by step of going from the original ROM to a new ROM. I followed the "Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies" on the wiki and then used the files from the Faria how-to. Once I've did the HardSPL install steps, is it always there? Or was it overwritten by the new ROM?
I guess I'm wondering what step I would start at for a new ROM...would I just repeat all the steps?
Also, I guess I'll always have to do the soft reset to stop the T-Mobile stuff from loading? If anything, I'd rather have the ATT stuff as I'd use their network and not T-Mobile or just have nothing.
The last thing I don't want is a brick.
Thanks for all the help! This is quite the learning experience and after my first flash I totally "geeked out".
Also, I've notice that it seems some of the ROMs are unclear as to if they are G4 or not. Unless I missed it, is there, by chance, a running list of all the ROMs? Or is it just a matter of reading all the pages of the forum? It'd be handy if there was a list of all the ROMs and if they were G4 or not.

Well,once 'HardSPL' applied will remain 'HardSPL' unless you remove it personally to revert back to official stock wm5 rom .Remember,there's no official wm6 upgrade offered by either T-mobile or At&tt,all the wm6 roms available here in this forum are custom build wm6 roms and they don't have any T-mobile or At&tt stuff included in them.
All the wm6 custom build roms are safe for G4 devices as they don't have any IPL/SPL included in them.Only roms with IPL/SPL in it are not safe for flashing to a G4 phone.Even after the 'HardSPL',the official stock rom cannot be flashed,until and unless,first 'HardSPL' is to be removed and official G4 IPL/SPL are flashed back.
Cheers!
Ok, now I understand!
Thanks!
I'm having a lot of fun with this.
Hello
Could someone please kindly explain what does SPL mean?
And why ROM is called ROM? Is it the firmware?
Doews HSPL void warranty and USPL not?
I searched at google for a while but didnt get a proper answer.
Sorry to ask this here. Anyway, I am sure there are a lots of people who would like this to know as well.
Thanks
no idea..
Check my post at the end of the "Dummys......" sticky post, Uspl Doesnt invalidadte as its a temporary change as far as I'm aware. Hspl however invalidates the Eula of windows I think.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
Rom=Read Only Memory in this rom you find the firmware of your device.
thanks for all your replies..
now I understand why these are called ROMs..
but one thing that still haunts my mind..
what does SPL stand for? i am very curious in this..what is it for?
is it some securtiy protocol? or what?
thanks guys..
SPL - second program loader.
the SPL is the bootloader. on a pc, the equivalent is BIOS.
HSPL is what you use to edit the SPL in such a way that it would allow you to use custom ROMS. its a permanent change as you are flashing a new SPL. USPL works only whenever you use/run it, so the SPL remains unchanged. changes are only temporary and when the USPL application is closed (or the device rebooted), the device goes back to its previous SPL.
See the SPL Questions page on the wiki. It will tell you more than your ever want to know .
AFAIK, USPL void's the warranty just as much as Hard SPL, but does it in a way that no-one can detect.
It's like saying the warranty is void if used in the attic, taking your phone in the attic will void it, but it will take some proving that you took it into the attic
Dave
nice example with the attic
thanks guys for your replies...Now I finally now what SPL is thanks to ASK768.. thanks...
have a great one...
no problem.
but actually, while we're at it, why would one want to flash a new radio on their device? what kind of benefits does it give?

I suggest you read up on radio's. Generally speaking newer versions have better reception, GPS fixed, less battery drain. Obviously area/country you are in may effect reception so best to read up on which radio's work better in which areas!
