question: my usb connector came off the board. i have an ancient qtek 9100 rom installed (probably the originally shipped rom), but i do want to update. is it possible to do a sd card rom update? i can't find any thread about it, but i know that the mdaC3 is able to do a nbh rom update in bootloader. is something similar possible for the qtek 9100 (if so, a short how to is appreciated).

I've been wondering the same thing. Anyone?
The SD only allows flashing if phone is CID unlocked and if image has the phone's values; and even then it's a VERY DANGEROUS procedure that can make a phone non-functional!!
My case:
Last time i messed around with it (two weeks ago) i had an image from my own phone backed up that have been used to easily restore the OS and all other parts. It started fine with the formatting but when it reached the writing part an error popped up (can't recall what, if checksum or other ). I thought: "Ok, lets do it via RUU." (in Portuguese, of course )
So i rebooted the phone and the screen became all white and flashing . Luckily the bootloader was still accessible and the RUU saved my day.

Your post scared me.
Btw, are you saying that you are using a Ghost-like software to backup your OS into the SD card? and then "Ghost" the image back using the same software? Can you tell me or PM me which software are you using? I want to try it

It's the bootloader itself that does it
Phone must be CID unlocked and a SD card with, at least 128 MB. Enter bootloader, start mtty (wcescomm.exe already killed) and type 'r2sd all'
that's it

Thanks mate.
Sadly, I am using a CID Locked Wizzard. Can you send the mtty to me please?
I can only find the 1.0 version for it. Cheers
[email protected]
or PM me where I can download it
see if this one is more recent

cheers
PS:
Have you answered your signature's question?
The big question is:
Do you have a secondary Wizard to flash from.
I found that the 3.08 IPL did not want to accept the r2sd all command.
So keep it safe on 2.x devices.
And in your case i wouldn't even go into the r2sd all command as you don't want to go touching your IPL SPL or Radio in G4 devices.
But i think if you keep searching you will probaply find the command for only fllashing the OS. Methinks at least.
But still do you have a second device?

Someone told me that I could use the Mtty to check whether my G4 is unlocked or not.
But I still can't find the lastest Mtty.
Btw, the Mtty you gave is the one I tried. It is VERSION 1.0
You can use WST to check if your Wizard is CID unlocked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295038
However, if you didn't pay for imei-check.co.uk and your G4 Wizard is not a second-hand, they it is 99.9% a locked one because there is no known free method to unlock a G4 Wizard.

Guys
Can anyone of you geniuses help me?
I flashed my T-Mo MDA to 2.24 and it went horribly wrong. So I tried to restore my backed up SD image using Wizbackup which isn't "allowed". The net result is that I have IPL/SPL at version 1.01 and OS at 2.24.
But the phone will only go into bootloader and Activesync doesn't work.
I can connect through MTTY - but the "L" command gets refused.
Is this my bootloader preventing me from doing anything? How can I change it through MTTY (which seems to be my only method of communication)
Please help! The phone is a brick now.

If you can get to the bootloader you're going to be just fine.
Get to the bootloader screen, connect your device, then run a 1.X version RUU installer. If you connect your device while in the 3 color bootloader screen there's no need to establish an activesync connection (which just gets killed anyway when flashing)
That will get you back to a working condition with a ROM that can be CID unlocked. (if you haven't already unlocked)
Then you should be able to flash to whichever 2.x ROM your little heart desires.
Here's a link to a 1.x Cingular ROM:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe
Post here how you gitalong.
Partial success
OK
This is getting better...
I managed to recover the MDA by loading the Cingular ROM.
But I get Simlock and "Data crashes. Please contact your service center"
I've tried loading other T-Mobile USA versions to match my SIM card, but I can't get past this.
I also tried the SIM unlock applications, but none seem to clear this error.
What should I do now?
Thanks
If you've gotten the "data crashes" error you're likely going to need to pay $40 to the boys at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ to get the phone properly SIM and CID unlocked.
Once that's done, you can flash any ROM you'd like to it.
Worked!
You were right - it worked.
I paid the $40 for the IMEI unlock and everything is now working again.
I'm not sure why this couldn't be corrected another way - but phew!
Thanks for all the help. Greatly appreciated.
Hy guys...i have a problem, my device stucked in bootloader mode..can someone help me? please, IPL 2.18, SPL 2.18

i tried to install another rom, but on 98% stucked...can i put wm6?

i read "how to cid unlock" but it is written there to copy a file on ppc memory, but i can't enter on it, only in bootloader mode
ok, you need to flash the rom that the device came with ( o2, cingular, vodaphone, tmo etc) then cid unlock
i understood that..but i don't know what rom do i need, because i have brought at second hand, from a guy, and it was in french, and i tried to install in english, but stucked on 98%
you'll have to try each french rom until one works
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
i can only see 2 french roms on the wiki, both are qtek, is that what your wizard is branded as?
also try the 'button rom' and then cid unlock
it's past my bedtime now, i'll check this in the morning. but short of holding your hand and giving a button by button tutorial, you know everything there is to know
yes it is qtek...thank you very much, i will see what i can do..i will let you know about the results
i can't download the files, because was deleted
it worked..thanks, without cid unlock, but thank you anyway for you time
now, you must cid unlock before flashing another rom
i tried to do that, and when i want to downgrade to button's 1.05 ROM it's getting stucked on 98%
now..i've made it again...i have wm5 on it..i made cid unlock, but my problem is that every time i try to install wm6 on it, it appears to me wm5...why? with each version
OK... two things - firstly, have you gone through ALL the steps in the stickied G3 unlocking thread? You mustn't miss any out, no matter how long it takes.
Secondly, what operating system is on the PC you're trying to unlock from?
One more thing - when your device starts from a soft reset, please write down and post the IPL and SPL numbers that appear on the first boot screen.

Hi,
I've flash my phone to the Schaps_WM6Pro_Trinity_4.30.2008_WWE_Full ROM and after several Soft Resets my M700 is stuck in the original bootloader screen.
My USB port does not work so I copied the des bootloader and ROM onto ny SD Card. Launched the des bootloader and the the ROM was flashed successfully. After some soft resets to change various registry settings the device is now stuck in the original bootloader screen (SPL-1.07.0000).
I've tried to flash the ROM again but it goes to a grey screen saying "loading" then displays "000068002". I've tried various ROMS and get the same error code.
As the orginal bootloader is displayed I think it's looking for a ROM with the same CID. The phone is a UK Orange M700.
Does anyone know where I can get the Orginal UK Orange ROM from? I've tried the Mozzer one without any luck and found French ROM gives me the error message "no allowed".
Hard Reset does not work, just takes me to the bootloader screen and I've left the battery on overnight.
As the USB does not work I can't use mmty to reset the device.
Please help
Thank you
Look on the Trinity WiKi and use the CD card flash method. This will allow you to flash without using the USB. Works every time
I can flash from SD card, but as the original bootloader is loaded I need ROM with CID from Orange UK
Oh... you need to unlock your phone first. That is probably where you are running into your problem. or you could try downloading your OEM rom and flash that using the sd card, then unlock, then have at it with a cooked rom
Has anyone got Part02.raw dump from an Orange UK M700. I might be able to build a new ROM if I can get my hands on one.
Thanks

OK, if you get it back I suggest you to replace the original spl to hard-spl!
With hard-spl you will not stuck in bootloader any more.
But of course you can restore the original spl
Yep,
have learnt my lesson and if the phone is repairable then I'll Hard-SPL it and take a backup of my ROM.
Cheers for the help
One last question
mobile phone couldn't fix it so looks like a trip to Orange which could be pricey, but one last question. I have various nbh files for the M700 but they all have the wrong CID. Do you know if it's possible to change the CID in a nbh file so that I can use it for Orange UK (ORANG001)
cheers

Unfortunatelly I do not know. But hard-spl ignore cid, so you will not have cid problems.

I read the guide before attempting a ROM upgrade.
Its a G3 device that is unlocked.
None of the trouble shooting points in the guide seem to relate to the problem of the upgrade appearing successful but the device remaining as WM5rather than WM6.
Have I missed something

How did you check that the phone is CID unlocked? You realize there's a difference between SIM and CID unlocking
I am assuming it is CID unlocked as it was purchased SIM free directly rather than from a carrier

Get WST and read the CID block to be sure if it's indeed as what's happening to it looks like CID blocked situation.
I was getting the same problem with a G4 XDA Mini S
i tried hardspl, softspl and then in the end i flashed it using the CID locked guide. I managed to get TNT WM 6.1 on it, but it wont work properly, the GSM info on bootup screen now doesnt show half the time when i boot the phone up, i have reflashed the original O2 rom and it seems to be working, although it wont connect to my wireless. Gonna have another play with it and see what i can find out, will update this thread if i find anything.
I am experiencing a similar problem. I have successfully downgraded the phone to the button rom, but every time I attempt to either flash a new rom or simply upgrade the ipl/spl, only the spl changes (ipl always remains at 1.01) and the new rom never takes.
I have used WST and tried the loki unlocker as well, but the phone just wont seem to flash with new roms.
I have flashed many wizards prior to this and have never run into this problem before.
Any suggestions?
Thanx.

Have you tried latest WST v4.2.2?
I added the possibility to CID unlock even if IPL/SPL values differ. Another member reported a success story with WST and a case like yours.
Yes, I have already tried WST 4.2.2 and it is reporting both CID and SIM is "already unlocked."
In addition, when I follow the steps outlined here [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831], everything appears to work and all is synchronized until I get to the "install the t-mobile ship rom." When I try to flash that rom, I receive this error after the program puts the phone into bootloader mode...
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Update Utility.
Also, if I proceed further and attempt to flash the 3.08 ipl/spl, only the spl changes...the ipl remains at 1.01.
That message is clearly a sign of locked CID.
Have you tried to unlock CID anyway?
I have gone through the unlock stage is the Wiki instructions, then installed the T-Mobile WM5 ROM followed by the XM6r5Lite (WM6 not 6.1) ROM.
This time the device has taken the upgrade and initially appears to be working.
Thanks to everybody who replied to my initial post. -

However, I have also followed all the instructions, went ahead and performed the CID unlock (even though WST reported it was already done), but I'm still stuck at not being able to flash any rom above button.
Re-reading my post above, I just noticed the version of ipl/spl - 1.01. I had always thought the oldest version was 1.08? Perhaps that is a clue?
Any ideas?

Sorry to ask again but have you CID unlocked with latest 4.2.2 WST? I added a new feature that has helped another member with locked SPL. And what bootloader values you have exactly?
Yes, I downloaded the latest WST (4.2.2) and even though it reported CID and SIM already unlocked, I went ahead and re-unlocked both with no errors being displayed and successful restarts after each. Currently, my boot screen shows this...
ipl 1.01
spl 1.01
gsm 1.12.10.0
os 1.5.4.2
Unfortunately, when I attempt to load any other rom, the wizard gets hosed...and yes, that is a perfectly acceptable technical term in this case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if it matters, here's the CID info as read by WST 4.2.2...
Reading CID block...
Calculating CID block sum...
CID checksum: C42E15AD
Decrypted stored sum: 6D00B85291C1F62B
Decrypted calcd sum: 6D00B85291C1F62B
Key index : 59 - Block index: 77
CIDkey: ########
CID IMEI: ###############
CID: 11111111 (SuperCID)
Phone is already CID unlocked!
Thanx again.
Anyone?
Anyone at all?
Deafened by the silence...
Okay, so I guess every single CID unlocker I've tried so far has actually failed, even though they stated they succeeded (and even WST reporting already unlocked). However, when I run the mtty MFC applicaton (r2sd all), it fails every time stating the device is actually NOT unlocked (which is why I'm not able to flash any other roms).
So, knowing that NONE of the CID unlocker programs (that I've found throughout the forums and the ftp) are working on my wizard, what can I do? Are there other CID unlocking programs that could actually "force" the unlock to actually work?
Thanx.

Although,its a sign of CID not unlocked,but if you say,the WST tool reports it as CID unlocked. Which was the official rom on it when you downgraded.from your network sign,it appears you are on T-mobile network,so the official T-mobile shud flash and work on your phone.where did you downloaded the T-mobile Rom ? try to download from the T-mobile official site and check if it works or you can try wizard_love_Rom or xda_minis_launch.Its assumed you are flashing on winXP.

Yes, using WinXP. Tried the love rom, but no go...same as the t-mobile rom. Only found the t-mobile rom on rapidshare...couldn't locate an "official" source for it. Every time I try to flash anything other than the button rom, during the initial boot, the gsm line is missing from the display where the ipl, spl, gsm, and os display normally appears. Then, as the device boots into windows mobile, all interactivity with the device lags...each keypress can take up to 30 seconds to respond. So, I reflash button and all works just fine again. Very strange indeed.
Thanx.

Yes a G3 8125 Needs to be unlocked and you'll find all the guides on the forum there are no better guides than those coz they are written by professionals. TC
step 1 download this file rar password is - scousemartin
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
step 2 - flash the button love rom inside the rar file you just downloaded
step 3- run lokiwiz to unlock your device. Once that is done you can flash any rom, you can flash the at&t rom or the xda o2 rom i have included in the rar file ( the o2 rom was put in there as it was for my own use)
If you flash any official rom ,you will need to CID unlock it with lokiwiz ,the next time you try to flash it, as the official roms will CID lock the device again.

NOT TRUE! Once a device is CID unlocked it remains like that permanently!
Unlock tools write "11111111" to the CID location while RUUs never touch it. Only with WST you can write any CID value to the area again.
still no luck, ive disabled the windows firewall like one of the guides on here said, i had an active sync connection as guest, i downloaded that rar file and ran the button rom, and still i get the error 260. after i start the rom it crashes active sync i hear the disconnect sound, then the phone turns off and i have to do the recovery thing. i havent seen any weird colors either, i've heard ppl get a three color screen or something. but mine just turns on and i have to take the battery out and try all over again
Mods! plz check this out.
problem solved, i never realized that i still had my storage card in the phone, after i took it out everything went smooth
