Hello everybody !!
I just spent about 28 hours reading the threads in order to change my GERMAN O2 XDA MINI S (Wizard) ROM. Into an english one.
For that matter I know I need to unlock my CID, but since i have the latest ROM installed, IPL 2.21.001 and SPL 2.21.001 Lockwiz won't work !!!!
so I tried to Downgrade my Rom in order to make the Lockwiz work, but I am not able to find a suiting German Rom anywhere on the Net.
So I was wondering if nebody would be kind enough to tell me where to find and older German ROM or how I can avoid DOWNGRADING and simply unlock my CID
best regards ... Bayardo

Since you have a G4 boot chip (the tailing .001 in IPL and SPL tells that) you CANNOT downgrade your ROM to 1.x version.
DO NOT TRY INSTALLING A 1.X ROM: YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PPC!!! DO NOT FOLLOW FARIA's PROCEDURE TO CID UNLOCK 2.X PHONES: IT WON'T WORK IN YOUR CASE ('cos you've got a G4 boot chip).
This means that you will NOT be able to CID/SIM unlock your phone with lokiwiz 0.2b (however you can still use lokiwiz 0.3a to SIM unlock it, but no CID unlock).
But don't despair, you CAN still change your phone language and install whatever 2.x rom you like. The procedure to follow, however, is a bit different: you cannot simply download a rom you like and install it, you'll need to hack it a little first, but the results will be the same!
Basically, all you have to do is get the ROM you like (only 2.xx ROM!!!) and remove from it the IPL/SPL part. Then, you have to flash this 'hacked' rom using a slightly modified ROM Upgrade Utility (i can provide it to you if you want). With this method you're not going to replace the IPL/SPL (bootloader) of your phone so you don't need to CID unlock it (which, at the time i'm writing, is impossible).
To remove IPL/SPL from your ROM you have to extract the file nk.nbf from the ROM and get its content with typho5 tool (search this forum to have more info). Then you have to reassemble a new nk.nbf using nb2nbf. The new nk.nbf, of course, must NOT contain the IPL/SPL parts.
If you prefer, you can tell me what ROM are you interested in and i'll do the dirty work for you. Just let me know.

Hi risidoro,
I am trying upgrade my O2 German Wizrad G4 version into WWE, I followed your instruction & has used nb2nbf to compile a 2.xx rom without IPL & SPL. When I used the update utility to falsh the Wizard, the utility said something like: Error, this update utility is not for your device. etc.
I think I need to used your modified update utility , can you send it to me?
Also my other question is, when I use nb2nbf , what should I put in the model id for my German Wizard?
You advice can help me & many others to solve our headache in upgrading a G4 Rom! Cheers!

The modified RUU (ROM Update Utility) is attached.
For ModelID you can use both WIZARD or Prodigy (i used the former).

does this mean that its on a G3 chip and that i can use lokiwiz03a to CID unlock it and upload any 2.x ROM as i please? and downgrade the ROMs too?
@Bola: you have a 1.x ROM so you can CID unlock your phone with Lokiwiz0.2b (NOT 0.3a). Then you'll be able to install whichever ROM you like.
Bye
I've just published a tutorial that can help those with a G4 or G3 (>= 2.21) CID-Locked device to install whichever 2.x ROM they like.
The tutorial is here:

thanks once again.
Hello!
I wan't to totally get rid off the T-Mobile branding and so I decided flashing the original qtek rom ver. 2.18 GER. I used awizard to unlock cid, backup roms and afterwards tried to flash the QTEK rom. Now the program throwed error 296 "upgrade only". I read several posts in the forum describing how to do a downgrade and downloaded the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe which I tried to flash to the phone before upgrading to qtek ROM. But when I try to flash the custom rom the updater gives me "ERROR 300":this ROM cannot be used with your phone.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
TIA.
okay... I read a bit more and seems that there is currently no possibility to flash another rom into my phone with version 2.21 without turning it into a brick, right? so I think I will better keep the TMO software until anyone finds a possibility to do an up- or downgrade on this...
If your IPL and SPL were 2.xx, then you can upgrade your ROM to any 2.xx Wizard rom by following this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
Alternatively, you could install my cooked rom Wizard_Love 2.26 (it is safe, because it doesn't contain IPL and SPL part) which is a operator-independent ROM.
thx wlove!
so just to clarify that I understand it right- with this tutorial I WILL be able to flash the ver. 2.18 of the QTEK rom to my IPL/SPL ver. 2.21 phone?
Yes, just follow the instruction carefully, then you will definitely get it done (not just for 2.18 version, but for all the higher rom version as well). I have done it over and over again using this method without any problem. This method is safe, because it doesn't your touch the IPL and SPL part, even if your computer was power off in middle of flashing, you'll still be able to flash it again, your phone is not death yet. However, remember do a full charge of your battery before upgrading your ROM. Good luck.
thank you! I was finally able to flash my phone with an unbranded rom version!
Nice, enjoy your new ROM.
Even though my 8125 was running just fine on a Molski ROM I got months ago, I had to go fiddle with it and see what kind of damage I could do. Now, I have myself stuck at IPL 1.01, SPL 2.26, GSM 01.12.10 and can't seem to find a way to get my IPL back to the 2.xx range. Since there are no longer any ROMs posted here, I am afraid to try some of the ones I am finding elsewhere since I don't know if I will turn my Wizard into a paper weight.
Does anyone know what ROM would be the best to use to give me a newer NBF so I can just put the current factory ROM on? I had read that the MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224a_AKU23_WWE would be the right one, but I can't find it anywhere now.

Appreciate the thought, but the T-Mobile site requests that I enter my phone number, which is not a T-mobile number, but a Cingular number.

Then grab the rom from Cingular's site. I believe it will get you to IPL/SPL 2.25.
Any AKU2 carrier rom will help you (assuming you are CID unlocked since you previously had Molski's rom installed) In any case if you are a cingular customer and got your phone through them normally even if it is CID locked it is locked to Cingular and you can flash their rom.
That's the whole base of the problem here, as I said in the first post my IPL is only 1.01, so trying to install the Cingular ROM gives me the infamous "Please get a newer NBF file" error. I've tried everything I can to take care of the problem, but the needed ROMs to work back up to where I need to be are all gone.
Wizard Love and the Button ROMs are both available on PirateBay. Use the Button to do a CID Unlock again, or use Wizard Love to try to just recover.
As for the T-Mobile site, if you use the link in the sticky for how to CID Unlock by Dr. P, that one does not ask for a phone number. Takes you directly to the place where you do the download (I just downloaded it again yesterday and can email it to you if you need it (PM me with your email)).

Sorry, I didn't get out of your first post that you had tried the offical Cingular ROM just that you wanted to end up on it. Read through the G3 unlocking sticky. The button 1.05 rom should do the trick. I think the link in there is working though it may be a slow download. I no longer have any wizard roms on my system or I would host it so you could grab it real quick.
I haven't done this before (so take it for what its worth) but you could pull the Cingular RUU file apart with WinRAR, and get the nk.nbf file out of it and run that with a Rom Update Utility NOID (that comes with most of the custom ROMs) and that should allow you to flash it no matter what the IPL/SPL are at as I understand it. (so you shouldn't get the need newer message).
Okay, download the button ROM and the T-Mobile ROM now as well as printing out the unlocking guide. I know I've done this before, but it was a long time ago.
Thanks for the help guys!!!
---EDIT---
You know what, just reading the ENTIRE FRIGGEN INSTRUCTIONS solved the problem. One little line towards the end of Doc's instructions ... "A last note. If you DO ever go back to the 1.05 ROM for any reason you need to repeat the lokiwiz steps as you won't be able to install a 2.x IPL/SPL bootloader."
That's it, one little line on the last page that I just skimmed over and that's all it was in the end.
ok so after reading many many times and attempting to flash to 1.05 which worked but i was never able to upgrade. I used the shell tool to try and get XM6R5 to flash and it locked up. since then the phone now starts to boot but locks in on the button rom (from button with love) and shows
IPL 1.05
SPL 3.08
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
After sitting on this bootup screen for over a minute the picture looks shaky??
So i attempted to reflash to 1.05 again and it goes all the way to 100% and tells me successful and reboots then locks up! So i try to flash back to Tmobile rom and i get a 296 error: ERROR {296} : UPGRADE ONLY This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. please get new NBF file.
The usb and active sync wont work either.
I even held the comm and voice button and pushed reset and tried to format and it says format failed.
Please help, i now wish i never attempted to flash to WM6. This is a brand new replacement MDA and i figured i would attempt to upgrade it before i did anything and now it seems locked!
ok,as long as it gets stuck at the loading splash screen of button's rom,it ain't dead yet.
First,how did you get SPL 3,08 ?,did you flash the ipl/spl 3.08 before flashing the button's rom 1,05 ?
Secondly,There was no need to upgrade with 'Shell Tool',after downgrading to ipl/spl 1.xx by button's rom,you shud have used 'lokiwiz02b' to SIM/CID unlock the phone and upgraded to any wm6 Rom.Try to get the phone in bootloaders mode(Tricolor screen),if it gets there,download the official carrier's rom of your phone from its website and flash it in the bootloaders to bring the phone back to its default status.After that downgrade with button's rom 1.05 and SIM/CID unlock your phone with 'lokiwiz02b' and upgrade to wm6.
its very hard to brick it fortunatly
let us know if you succeeded , it might help others
I flashed to 1.05, then tried tmobile 2.26, once i did that i upgraded to 3.08 which made ipl/spl 3.08. I tried several times to reflash to 1.05 again and the ipl changed back but the spl stays at 3.08. I have flashed several times to 1.05 and the spl will not change from 3.08(how can i make it do this) So now that the 3.08 is stuck there the original tmobile rom wont install and it gives me a 296 error when attempted.
I have taken the battery out and gotten into bootloader on reboot however, when i flash to 1.05 or tmobile and it goes thru the cycle... once it gets to 100%(I also get the pop up that says upgrade successful and hit ok) the phone reboots and then gets stuck again in the splash screen?!?! then the screen gets shaky looking as well?
oh and i used the shell tool because everytime i downloaded the button rom the ipl only changed to 1.05 the spl would never change from 2.26 to 1.05 and i tried several times to flash. then using lokiwiz2b it would NEVER unlock the phone. Kept giving me an internal error. Maybe because the extracting of lokiwiz automatically would open the program when i downloaded in mozilla firefox? is this IE use only maybe?
So anyhow i thot shell tool would be best to use since i couldnt unlock it. Guesss not.
I wish one of you guys lived right down the street so we could do this together or maybe i just call one of you geniouses

hmmmm, thats the mistake.After downgrading to ipl/spl 1.xx after flashing button's 1.05,you shud have first sim/cid unlocked the phone and then flashed t-mobile 2,26 to upgrade to ipl/spl 2.xx.Then shud have upgraded to any wm6 roms,upgrading to ipl/spl 3.08 is not at all necessary for upgrading to wm6,but an option,where as,ipl/spl 2.xx is only required for wm6 upgrading.
You,instead,of getting your phone sim/cid unlocked,flashed and upgraded to 3.08,but to sim/cid unlock,its required to have 1.xx,now it won't downgrade to 1.xx with button's rom.Its very commonly observed that after upgrading to 3.08 without getting the phone sim/cid unlocked,it becomes a pain in a** to downgrade to 1.xx and unlock.Now its a catch22 situation,where it doesn't downgrade to 1.xx for unlocking and nor accepting any other rom flash,its stuck at splash screen at 3.08.
Now,the only solution is to get the phone back to its default status.Try to flash either official stock rom,button's rom,if button's don't work,try the xda_minis_launch rom or the wizard_love_rom in the bootloaders mode.You got to keep your patience and it might take several flashes with either of these roms to get through.
Good luck !!!
thank you, im going to attempt all this now, ill keep everyone posted!
ok heres the scoop...
ive tried the tmobile official rom 2.26 upgrade and the xda_minis_launch rom and the wizard_love_rom (Love rom seems to be in a foreign language and gives a error 300) in the bootloaders mode and every time it will refuse to read the usb and gives me either a 264 or 296 error with these roms. Not sure why the phone says its not connected for the above roms but will read buttons rom still saying its not connected
The only rom that seems to read for whatever reason is buttons rom and i have flashed it 5 times at least now and always tells me it works but then gets stuck in bootloader with a glass of beer and the same ipl-1.01 spl- 3.08 gsm- 01.12.10 os- 1.5.4.2
so i dont know what to do!! there must be someway to get this thing to work!
Yes ! I understand it sometimes becomes very annoying and frustrating,but you got to keep cool. believe me and I can assure you there's nothing wrong with your phone as long as it can get into bootloaders.It's just that the bootloaders have got corrupted and stuck on spl 3.08,its only spl 3.08 which is creating all the problem,untill and unless it doesn't downgrade to either spl 1.xx or 2.xx,it'll not be possible to flash any other rom.now the only way to get the bootloaders corrected is to flash any official rom to bring both ipl/spl to 1.xx or 2.xx.
ok,when you get the phone in bootloaders and connect the phone via usb,does a small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloaders screen ? forget about the activesync for a while,cuz activesync doesn't work or get connected in bootloaders.The only way to verify if the phone has established connectivity with the pc is to verify if usb appears in the bootloaders.Rather I'll suggest you to delete the partnership with pc in activesync and uncheck the option 'allow usb connections' in the Async.If its verified that usb appears and has connection in bootloaders then you are good to go and run RUU,but if there's a problem and it doesn't show in bootloaders then your usb is not establishing proper connection.In that case,either the usb cable is faulty or the mini usb port of the phone is damaged.Check and verify this.
Secondly,lets try to flash the Rom with replaced RUU like 'RomUpdateUtility_wizard_Noid', or 'newromupdateutility_wizard_noid' or 'Ruu_Mun',you can find them in the forum.Either copy and replace it with ruu in the rom or copy and past 'nk_nbf' in the rom to the folder of these RUU and try to flash in the bootloaders,but first confirm the connectivity of the phone via usb as explained above. Hope this might do the trick,lets hope so!!!
Cheers!

ok,was your phone CID unlocked when you did back up with sdcard using 'Mtty' program ? cuz its not possible to go through recovering back by this method if the phone is CID locked,the rom will not back up to sdcard,it'll give error.Here his phone is still Cid locked and he has upgraded to 3.08,now it won't let him downgrade to ipl/spl 1.xx to use lokiwiz02b and SIM/CID unlock his phone.
Cheers!
ok here is the problem im having now. ANY ROM i attempt to flash to in bootloaders mode or 3 colored screen WILL NOT WORK! it gives me a 264 error on any of them besides button rom. I have tried several times to upload tmobiles official rom and it tells me i have to get a newer nbf file!
I pop the battery out and wait a few seconds and then hold camera button and power, (now in bootloaders) i then plug in usb and the USB letters do show on the bottom left hand side. I also disabled allow usb connection on active sync.
i wish i understood why no other rom except buttons will flash? even muns ruu wont work, it gives me a 300 error invalid update tool!

i don't know whats the problem with appunlocking... there are 5 Regkeys that have to be set,... it stands all in wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Breeze_Registry
Application Unlock
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/Policies.reg
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]"00001017"=dword:00000090"00001005"=dword:00000028"00001001"=dword:00000001after doing this run SDAunlock app (google for it) or

Running unsigned Apps without confirmation!
add:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]"0000101a"=dword:1
GREATLY APPRECIATED! finally some good explainations. so let me get this straight,
SSPL = application unlock? (im asking this because i already have my phone app unlocked using SDA security unlock software)
i have a dopod 595 and,
my IPL is 0.90 (do i need to update this?)
SPL is 2.05 (so i need to use the SPL>1.09)
radio is 1.06.00.10 (do i need to update this?)
RIL is 2.002
do i need to update anything before i try your WM6.1? which is the latest versions (IPL,Radio) you would recommend and can you please provide the links too. also, will the forward facing video call camera work with your ROM?
from wiki, it looks like there is the Radio:1.38.00.10 Protocol:32.71.7020.12H RIL:2.002 SPL:1.10.0000 ROM, and other older Radio ROMs but with newer SPL. so in order to update my radio, do i need to flash the entire ROM into my phone, or can i just use a Radio ONLY rom updater?
Please bear with me, because i really do not want to brick my phone.
Admin, please make this thread sticky. cheers

I have I-Mate SPJas. I have tried several unlock tools including HTC Unlock toll, resgistry edit, SDA Unlock....
My original SPL version was 2.05 and after I ran SPL file I had IPL=SPL by des and SPL=7......
I have also applied other methods and my phones seems to be application unlock. But when I try to upload a new rom the phone goes to blank. I could never prevent this condition.
Is there a way to update Imate SPJas to Win 6.1? Which ROM works?

In three color screen I see:
IPL SSPL by des
SPL : 1.01
Enter
When I go through root directory and enter to SSPL.exe, the phone again shut down and I have to removE/install battery to start the phone.
Please help!!

HARDSPL
hy all
i found a way to flash hardspl to breeze
this will allow to flash any rom from any cid so that you will not break devices due to wrong cid
BR

no
you must get to windows
what is your current cid?
i have a dopod 595 device, the breeze with forward facing video call camera, so it's a breeze 160. it's a Qtek_Z12 device and the region is WWE.
before you posted the new herm radio, i successfully updated to your beta WM6.1 using your unlocking SSPL guide. i never upgraded the SPL though. the original phone's IPL and SPL are IPL0.9 and SPL2.05.
so what i did was first to upgrade to the latest WWE 1.38 using your unlocking/SSPL guide, then upgrade to your WM6.1 beta. everything worked fine. i do notice that only the IPL has been upgraded, and the SPL remains 2.05. so i ignored it.
it was when you posted the new herm radio upgrade i then decided to update my SPL as well. so as per your instructions in the unlocking guide, i first unlock the phone (WM6.1), perform the SPL1.09 update. it was successful. phone booted up just fine. then i run the official WWE 1.38 (the same one i used before upgrading to WM6.1 beta). and this time i did not run the DES soft SPL ( i must have forgotten and thought the phone is unlocked anyway). the RUU started, and the flashing failed at 1% giving an invalid vendor ID error message (as expected because my phone is not superCID and i forgot to run DES SSPL). after this little incident, i canot boot my phone anymore.
so i tried to recover it using various methods. and i successfully flashed back the original WM5 WWE dopod 595 ROM by using the latest RUU from 1.38 with old WWE WM5 nbh. the flashing completed 100%, the phone reboots, and still stuck at the second boot screen. IPL has been downgraded to 0.9 and SPL remains 1.09.
this is what i get

you can not do anithing
your ipl does not know how to load spl1.09
send the phone to repair and flash hardspl when it returns
there are many people with your problem
till now we have found not found any solution
BR
my phone is out of warranty, so sending for repair will cost me a lot. we'lll keep our fingers crossed and hope you guys can find a solution for us soon. thank you
i think, SPL version is very confusing. 2.05 is older than 1.09?
Would be good to have compatibility list between SPL and IPL versions to not mess and brick device.
I guess i was lucky, because i updated my breeze to resently posted HardSPL (thanks to jerpelea) and device still alive.
I found that RUUUpdateUt.exe i've used for DES SoftSPL is not working with HardSPL anymore. It cost me a bunch of my nerves (no body mentioned this fact!). Again luckily i found that stock RUU upgrade utility works fine with HardSPL (i just removed all dialogs except first for convenient use).
Well, at last, now i don't need to flash stock firmware (with radio ROM update which is extremely dangerous) every time when one of my cooked ROM refuses to work normally.
