Hi; I tried to unlock my G3 wizard and now I think I am very stupid.
First, I get CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe and upgrade wizard, on wizard was IPL 1.xx SPL 2.xx, GSM also anything, but OS nothing. Blank line. Then that booted to bootloader.
So I tried RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE.exe, it wrote IPL 2.26, SPL 2.26 and OS nothing. Then i tried t-mobile rom, but it didn't work, because "only upgrade".
I tried through CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe, so now I have IPL 1.01, SPL 2.26, GSM something, OS nothing (blank line) and I think I'm stupid.
Any ideas? Thank you...

Make sure that you have unlocked the device correctly. Read Dr. P's sticky:A Definitive Guide to Unlocking G3 Wizards and also the wiki.
I know that i haven't unlocked my wizard The problem was before that I started unlock... OS disappeared after first flash.

Reflash with the Button 1.05 Rom, if the IPL & SPL don't match after the first flash then flash a second time with the same Rom, that should fix IPL/SPL problems.
Now Unlock your device BEFORE flashng a 2.x Rom.
Dr P's Sticky Thread covers this, please read it throughly..

Hm, in point 7 - Connect your device and cancel the partnership. (You're a guest )
I can not connect my device, because I haven't OS on Wizard, he boots only to bootloader (with IPL 1.01 and SPL 2.26). I can flash from PC, but then I never have OS od MDA.
I read the "A Definitive Guide to Unlocking G3 Wizards" many times, but I dont's see any solution...
Maybe I have strange wizard
When all else fails, flash an official Rom from your Service Provider. That should get you back to working order then proceed with the unlocking from there.

When I say "Connect your device" I mean to connect it to the USB cable. Two paragraphs after item 17 I address this issue. You don't need an OS, just be in the bootloader screen. I've personally had this exact same thing happen where all I had was the IPL and SPL with nothing else. Remove battery from PDA and then put it back in. Make sure you reboot your PC.
Good luck.

good idea, but it doesn't work; because "upgrade only" - My originally T-Mobile ROM is only 2.21, so I can't flash it
17. My suggestion, take for what it's worth, is to download and install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM This will give you a strong 2.26 IPL and SPL to work with.

Invalid Vender ID.
But I can flash MOLSKI ROM with 2.26 IPL/SPL. Should I?

For everyone: Thanks for your time, really. But I'm confused, I read all, nothing helped.
Let's say: "Michalek is very stupid, we'll write him "what to do" step by step" ) something like "You asshol, connect your mda in bootloader to pc via usb, then download this, run it, then ...".
Because manual doesn't work for me, probably.
New year, new way I tried to flash today - and - i see OS, I'm in OS, I'm going to unlock wizard based on Unlocking Tutorial ;-)
I don't know, why it was successful. I tried reboot yesterday for four times, but it not helped. Only today.
I'm the happiest man on the planet And, "I've seen PROBABLY every situation with a G3 device here." - it is TRUE
Thank you for your time.

Good to hear you are making progress, let us know how things turn out!
--M
-Michalek- Well that's wha we like to hear! The 1.05 works great as a disaster recovery tool. Most times when it doesn't work I tend to lean on the PC as the culprit. CHKDSK, temp files, spyware and virus's, etc.
Happy New Year, no?
Don't feel stupid
I'm glad it's working for you! Don't feel stupid though. My first attempt at loading a new rom went very similar. The CID unlock process told me it was successful (I thought) but it wasn't. I freaked out and thought all was lost. But I finally worked through it by going back to the Button ROM (LOVE THAT BEER SPLASH SCREEN) and starting over. The same problem even happened again about three weeks ago. After freaking out, I reloaded the Button ROM and was back on my way to normalcy
MDA is running on Superrom 1.1 and it works!
I don't know, what exactly was the problem with OS, but it helped me, when I left MDA cca three hours without battery. When I flashed the ROM before, OS wasn't.
At the last time, THANK ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH. And special thanks for Dr Puttingham and his unlocking tutorial. Thanks.
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.

Of course I'm not sure, but I thing it was 2.21. Anyway did you think that is posible to cook my own rom in G4? I'm totally confused.
Every time when I upload new rom I have this:

Thanks, but I try to find oficial rom but without success. And very interesting thing I found.. when I start to upload new rom the soft start to check my old rom and after that tell me that i have GE (german) language, but my old was WWE ?
Is it posible some one to give me some link to official 2.x ROM but for T-mobile german language.
Well the other day I tried finding that german rom for a while.... that search was going nowhere, I saw this thread, I don't know if you might want to check into it and maybe try it out. There's mixed results apparently but who knows

Greetings.
I have spent the past couple days searching for a solution to unlock an MDA. I have got all of the different versions of lokiwiz, wizardunlock, lokiwizMsl, etc. and the mda refuses to be unlocked. I believe I am following the directions step for step, but even the forums where people have the same problems as I (internal read/write error, can't find specified path, etc.), none of the solutions are working for this device. From my searching I believe it is a g3 MDA. The stats for the device are as follows:
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I have tried downgrading the firmware to no avail (the ftp site doesnt have the file), and the phone doesn't want to be DOWNgraded anyway. If ANYONE out there is cyberspace can assist, my gratitude will be pouring forth from their screen!
[email protected]
So have you followed this thread? It has valid links to get the Button ROM so you can do the downgrade and points you to the threads that will help you do this unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
In a nutshell, downgrade to the button rom (just execute the file and follow the directions). Your IPL will be 1.xx at this point and then you can use lokiwiz .2b to do the CID unlock. all of this is outlined in the excellent guide by Dr. P (which the above link will take you to). Then get your SPL down to 1.xx, then upgrade back up to 2.xx. Then you can start flashing custom roms.
If you still have issues, let us know exactly what you are doing and exactly what errors you see (or what your phone does or doesn't do).
Greetings mfrazzz.
I have indeed downloaded and attempted the button ROM. The installer started and then after about two minutes told me that the phone wouldn't let me Downgrade the ROM. I am currently downloading (70% done) the button ROM again and will see if it has the same problem. If so, I will of course seek the help of the experts here. Thanks for the quick reply!

Let us know the exact error you get (I assume the error is on the PC side) and then what the behavior of the phone is after you do this. Also, at what point does this error happen (has it actually started loading the rom or is it before it gets to that point and where its just checking your phone?)
Another option would be to try putting on the Wizard Love rom and then downgrading to button. Shot in the dark but worth a try.
Also remove your SD card when you try to downgrade. Try from a different PC if you can, or reboot your current pc before attempting this again.
Good luck!
Greetings again.
After downloading and executing the button ROM updater, it went to the status bar screen and stayed there for about a minute before displaying the following error message:
Error [296] : UPGRADE ONLY
This is (I believe) the same error I got previously. I was using RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship (which is the file that I downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 under the link button ROM (step g3.3).

Nope, thats the Cingular 2.25 ROM. Thats why you are getting the error (since you aren't CID Unlocked it won't let you load that).
The ROM you are supposed to be loading is this one:
http://rapidshare.com/files/18212239/CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe.html
Thats the Button ROM (and the one I show being in that link on that page). Please download that, and run it. You should make more progress
Since you are on the bootloader screen (Rainbow screen you described) just run the button rom when you get it downloaded (active sync will not connect, but since you see USB above the left soft key you have the connection to do this).
I see....it would make a difference if I got the right program! Rapidshare says I have ten minutes before I can download another file, so after I download http://rapidshare.com/files/18212239...WWE.exe.h tml, I will try it and post the results here! Thank you so much for your help, mfrazzz!
Greetings.
After downloading and installing (onto the phone) http://rapidshare.com/files/18212239...WWE.exe.h tml, the stats for the phone are
ROM: 2.26.10.2 WWE
Radio Version: 02.25.11
Protocol: 4.1.13.12
ExtRom: 2.26.10.105
After executing lokiwiz, lokiwizMSL, wizardunlock, and a few different versions of each (after I put the enableRapi onto the phone), the phone still won't unlock. It either gives me a "Cannot find the specified path" error, or the "Internal read/write error".
Im not sure that the file I downloaded was a 'down'grade, so if anyone sees a solution, please post!
Thank you
Did the flash of the Button ROM work? Your IPL should have changed to 1.xx after doing that flash (and your splash screen would be a photo with a mug of beer in the foreground). Since your IPL and SPL still show 2.26, it appears the flashing of the button rom didn't happen.
Not sure what else to tell you. It should be as simple as running the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe file, and letting it flash to your phone to do the initial downgrade. But you have to be a 1.xx for IPL before the lokiwiz .2b will be able to work (so there is no point in doing anything else until the steps before that complete. Again, follow to the letter (including checking the results) the thread by Dr. P on CID Unlocking. You should never try to do steps before the previous step is complete).

I thought it would be that easy too. I clicked on the file, it went through the flash, and those are the stats that showed up. I am currently trying the flash again. One difference I noticed this time is that the version it says is going to be installed is 1.xx this time, last time it said 2.XX. It looks like its going ok, though. Ill post again once it is done.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP MFRAZZZ! Not only did your prompt responses brighten my otherwise gloomy, MDA filled day! Your patience with my noobitude on this device (its not mine) has been a blessing beyond anything I could have hoped for. The device is now UNLOCKED!!! After the last flash, the beer mug showed up and all was well. Lokiwiz worked like a charm and your help, as I said, was much needed! THANK YOU!

ok, im inbetween a newb and a full out destructive force to any type of moddable device and im having a little bit of trouble with my cingular 8125. ive had this phone for a few months and i am having the hardest time dealing with the rom on the phone now. ill give a quick breifing on it:
got it with original cingular rom, not sure what spl or ipl on it but the first thing i did was unlock it by myself, cid and sim unlocked, and then updated to a jaguar wm 6.1 rom which worked fine. decided i was going to unfortunately sell this phone so i decided to upgrade it one more time to see if i really wanted to sell it, i then bought the upgrade to go past my 2.21 ipl and spl. i got my unlocker and followed my instructions and got a brick. but not a full brick. its stuck in the bootloader screen. after reading countless threads, i learned that i should be able to just still update a rom to the phone with no problems which actually works, but as soon as a rom completes it goes right back to my bootloader screen so help me! please cuz now thats its a challenge again, i want the phone! plus all my info is on the phone still back up
Flash the official stock ROM first, then use Button's ROM to downgrade your IPL and SPL before unlocking CID.
post the present IPL/SPL it displays now.Which rom you are trying to flash now ?
ok when i try to put the most current 8125 rom on my phone (2.25.blah) it tells me that its not the same phone which is weird but thats preventing me from putting the original rom on the phone. however if i try and put the buton rom on the phone now, it will go through completely and say it put it on the phone, but when it restart, its right back to the bootload screen...
and im running IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21 with a previous installation of a jaguar rom, dont know exactly which one, but i know it was a jaguar rom. but right before i tried to upgrade the updater, i went back to my default WM5 rom so i guess it was te basic 2.21 rom on the phone with WM5

WEIRD !
You got mixed Bootloaders of G3 And G4,IPL 2.21.0001 is G4 and SPL 2.21 is G3,as you posted,well,can't say which was original,only you can tell,but some how its mixed Bootloaders,in this situation no Rom will flash,its a 'Brick'.
If as Zabardast says its bricked then you have three options:
1. Get a new Wizard
2. Get a new Wizard Motherboard
3. Get a Wizard with broken LCD from eBay and replace its LCD with your current one and Enjoy!!! (Cheapest)
lol this is tough! but no worries, ill be back with some other pda at some point and time and then ill try and take this phone apart! but the weird thing about my wizard is that this only happened when i tried to update the phone with the CID unlock program that you have to pay for!
lol it was perfectly fine until i tried to do it! oh well, back to my crappy p168!
May be that CID Unlock program was not meant to be for a G3 and you were updating a G3 so it mixed you IPL/SPL and caused a kinda BRICK. So please be careful before doing flashing things because if you dont be carefull then your PPC may become a heavy paper weight, and a costy one too. LOL. TC

Ok, grimgod, aggression is reaaaallly ugly and no freakin one will help with that sh!t attitude (pardon the language, mods). The senior members do everything they can to help the noobs. Have you tried reading the flashing guide, wiki, or tutorial? I'd bet even money you haven't. Have you CID unlocked? Did you flash the button rom twice ( as the guide suggested to get ipl/spl both 2.xx)? Did you flash the official tmo rom (found im the flashing guide)? Have you done anything other than sit on your hands and wait for it to be handed to you? READ AND SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831 <HERE!!!!!!!!!! Should I flash your device, too?
Similar issue... need some Wizard Expertise
I picked up a coworkers old Cingular 8125 that he'd had in a drawer for about a year. Battery was right dead so the phone wouldn't boot. I charged the battery on an external charger for a few minutes, put it back into the phone, and plugged it in to the charger until the LED went green indicating a full charge.
When I power up I see the T-Mobile splash screen (light gray background, some square dots, and the "T-Mobile" logo). And there it stays indefinitely.
Tried a hard reset (Comm Mgr + Voice Cmd + Soft Reset), and it said "Press Send to restore factory default". Pressed the green dialer key (I assume that's send), and it says Format FAT partition, FAT partition complete, and then returns to the same T-Mobile splash screen and hangs there.
So then I tried putting it into Boot Loader manually (Power On + Camera). No problem, shows IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26. Plug it into the computer USB port (running XP Pro), and then the USB connection shows on the phone. Attempted to flash the Wizard Love ROM to get this thing back to square-one. Error 260. Attempted to flash the T-Mobile stock ROM. Error 260.
Between each flash attempt, I'm pulling the battery out and starting fresh. I think I've followed all the steps I'm finding in multiple threads. But for some reason I'm not able to get this thing to communicate via USB. All RUU's give an Error 260. Am I missing something?
Forgot to mention I'm following the steps outlined in this thread from Dr P. To the letter!
Also did a little reading up on using the MTTY method in this thread by Drug_Store. Thought maybe the existing ROM might be intact, and I might be able get it to a 256MB MiniSD, then write the backup ROM from SD in boot loader. Well, for some reason I don't even see the USB connection option when I use the MTTY - can't ever get to a point where I can issue commands. Again, I think I'm following the instruction. But still no juice.
Nudge, nudge. I'd donate for a solution that works... otherwise I have to keep letting my 10 year old play The Quest on my phone.
Uhh......yea......I was trying to upgrade my Rom to Dutty's Diamond V1 Build 19588. I was using the instructions from Flash-Your-Tilt . I got to Step 4 CID-Unlock it installed 100% rebooted and then nothing. Now the phone will only play the intro with no sound, then go black. It shows in the lower right hand R 1.70.02iNex, G25.65.30, D1.62.00.00. The phone will allow me to do a hard reset but after it it goes through the intro with screen alignment and installs the extra apps, it reboots and then goes black. I did a ton of reading through the wiki's if someone could point me in the right direction or tell me if its toast, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Be strong. I think it's only bricked when you can't power it on.
I have a poor net connection and not time atm. So a suggestion if you haven't already, search the forum for the word bricked. I'm sure this has happened before..
There are several tricks that people know so you might be ok. good luck.

Flash an OEM Rom/Radio Combo. Also it wont hurt if you already CID unlocked to to go ahead and flash a new SPL to it. Should fix any and all issues as your phone is still actually booting and Not bricked
Installing windows the 6.1 ROM from HTC's site worked. Thank you very much for the great advice. If I wanted to now put Dutty's ROM on my phone can I go straight to that, or do I need to restart the whole ROM flashing process(installing Jump SPL, Hard SPL and CID) ?
If you have unlocked it, just put duttys onto the SD card and rename the .nbh to KAISIMG.nbh
Put the phone into bootloader and install Its the fastest most successful method. No worry about a data cable coming out mid flash ( happened once to me....not fun )
Shouldnt have to install hardspl again ( or use JumpSPL )
Just make sure that if you are installing a WM6.0 rom that you have a WM6.0 radio. If not, the flashing process for the radio is the same ( rename to KAISIMG.nbh )
Is there a way to see if I the hard SPL install and CID unlock worked ? Can I just restart the whole process regardless. Sorry for the noob questions.

Go into bootloader. If your screen says hardspl somewhere near the top then you're good to go. Check which version because you can have radio problems if you use a WM6.0 spl with a WM6.1 rom. Most recent roms are WM6.1 so try HardSPL 3.29 or higher.
If you don't have hardspl, get it here for wm6.0 roms or here for wm6.1 roms.
many thanks, your advice with the links were invaluable. I read and read and read, but i guess i did not read enough. This site rocks.
