Wiki

best I could find

I found this in the wiki in a link...

First download lokiwiz v2b. Don't use previous versions or you'll not get through this!!
Hard reset your device (not necessary, but it ensures you'll have no hassle with ActiveSync).
Done that? Good. Extract the lokiwiz v2b .zip folder and copy enablerapi.cab to your memory card or to 'My Documents' folder on your device. Then execute the 'enablerapi.cab'.
Done? Just switch off the device (power button; put it in standby mode).
If you have ActiveSync already installed, un-install it and re-install directly afterwards (ensure a brand new partnership).
Then when prompted by ActiveSync, plug in your USB cable PC-PPC and it should recognise as usual.
Then execute the lokiwiz.bat file (in the folder that was generated earlier when you extracted the lokiwiz02b.zip file) and when you see the MS Dos (black screen) choose the option CID Unlock (SuperCID) and wait for it to COMPLETELY finish. You'll know it's finished when your Wizard is re-booting. Plug out your USB cable at this stage.
Once re-booted and back into WM5, re-connect your cable and if all goes well it should re-connect to Active Sync (wait till it has finished syncing or says connected!).
Finally......double click the executable file, which should be:
RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Hopefully it will now install the ROM without hiccups (about 10 minutes).
Sorry to you gurus for the lengthy explanation, but some of us are still relatively inexperienced to this and a thorough (if you can call it that) explanation of the processes will really be appreciated. I certainly have done when some of guys broke it down to me in the past.
I'm hoping this ROM will not dissapoint me as the others have done, as I've been getting quite frustrated and angry about the whole WM5 & HTC thing.
Good luck.

I suppose I substitute the newest cingular rom if that is what I wanted???
Anything I forgot???
Suggestions??? Tips??
Thanks

yes, just make sure that you CID unlock the phone and you'll be able to install any rom of your choice.

I guess you dont lock the phone when youre done?
Also when you are done I guess then you have to reinstall all your programs and resync your phone. It will be like a new phone like doing a hard reset.
Thanks

[READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards

OK, a word from the DOC.... to the wise ...
If one has successfully unlocked their G3 device they won't be complaining that their device doesn't have the themes, ringers, little tweaks and proggies installed by the extended ROM as these things will be installed...
Vippie has prepared a nice tutorial named Howto flash a Wizard... a little tutorial! that is a "must read" IMO, please take the time!
jpmche has published an unlocking guide for our Spanish only amigos here at [Favor de Leer antes de Preguntar] La guia en Español para Des-bloquear el Wizard
mestrini recommends saving your CID block that is backed up when running the Lokiwiz tool. Lokiwiz will save it as a bin file and it is useful if you encounter a "Data Crashes. Please contact your service center" error. Please take a look at his thread.
btw, a G4 PDA will report an IPL and SPL similar to 2.21.0001 and a G3 PDA will report something similar to 2.21 (notice the G3 doesn't have the trailing .0001!)
Read between the lines here... almost ALL the postings of problems posted in the ROM threads are directly due to people not truly unlocking their device.
In the real world there is a phrase ... RTFM, loosely translated to "Read The Freak'n Manual"... Faria in particular took pains to create a manual for unlocking G3 devices. I've personally unlocked probably close to 50 Cingular 8125's and a few T-Mobiles. I've seen PROBABLY every situation with a G3 device here.
A couple of things...
1st - Most of the custom ROM's here require that your device be CID unlocked.
2nd - CID unlocking, as well as flashing a custom ROM, will void your warranty.
3rd - There is always the chance, even after all precautions are taken, that you might brick your device. This, however, is extremely unlikely unless you have a G4 PDA and attempt this.
4th - Please don't cross post. This particular thread was "stickied" to keep it at the top where noobies can see it and veterans can attempt to help. My attempt with this thread is to alleviate the posting of obvious CID unlocking problems in the chef's threads so that they can concentrate on perfecting their ROM and not answering questions that have been already been answered countless times before and really have nothing to do with their ROM.
5th - Faria and I reference the Button 1.05 ROM. You DO NOT have to use the 1.05 to unlock your device but you may instead use an official 1.x ROM (Lokiwiz .2b only works with 1.x ROM's) if it will allow you to downgrade to it. Often, however,the only way to downgrade to an official 1.x ROM is to downgrade to the 1.05 first... catch-22.
6th - This technique is the best way to downgrade a device to a previous version, for instance when you need to return to an official "shipped" ROM for warranty reasons.
PLEASE take the time to read all the way through this before making the decision to unlock your phone. We are not responsible for you bricking your device.
If you have a G3 device and follow Faria's instructions, which I only repeat time after time, you WILL have a working device..... no ****!
If you have a G4 device DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!
Also, if you DO have a G4 Wizard, please do NOT post anything here regarding how to unlock your device. This is for G3's only, please start your own thread...
So... being that my friend Faria's primary language isn't English (though he has a better mastery of it than many of my fellow Americans...) I'll expound on it ONE LAST TIME ...
Please do not use the PC for anything, including browsing the internet, checking email, playing freecell, or anything while this is happening! Have nothing going on in the background.
mestrini advises (and I agree!)
I've come to realize that many "NO COMMUNICATION" errors are due to low voltage battery so i think it would be good to include in your guide to have a full (or almost) battery before using any RUU.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Glance through Faria's original thread on this (he wrote the book!!)
2. Download Button's 1.05 ROM at RapidShare or Badongo
3.. Downgrade your ROM to the Button 1.05. Let it go through the whole setup please...
Note: If your device fails at 98% with a 302 error follow Vippie's advice and try the Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 instead.
4. Download lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b
5. Extract the afore mentioned file to the root of your C drive. Do NOT extract to a folder with spaces...
6. Open Activesync WITH YOUR DEVICE NOT CONNECTED! and delete your partnership.
7. Connect your device and cancel the partnership. (You're a guest )
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.
10. (Back to your PC) ... <Start> <Run> <cmd> <Enter> to give you a most wonderful MS Dos prompt (be afraid, VERY afraid!)
11. In the MS Dos box (mouses not allowed!!!) type "CD\" <enter> (no quotes)
12. Type "lokiwiz.bat" <enter> (Actually, if you have XP, type lok then <tab> it SHOULD complete the filename, YMMV.
13. You will see a screen that has ...
U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)
Q. Quit
14. Hit the U key on your PC and press <Enter> ... your PDA WILL REBOOT upon completion !!!!!!!
15. Wait for your PDA to reboot, rerun the lokiwiz batch file (if you hit the up arrow key twice on your keyboard it will retype "lokiwiz", then hit <Enter>) then hit the C key on your PC and press <Enter> ... YOUR PDA WILL REBOOT UPON COMPLETION !!!
(if your Pocket PC Phone does NOT reboot each time, you didn't do it right! Stop and make that work, trust me!, then go on)
16. Watch the rebooting of your PDA, if BOTH IPL and SPL are 1.xx then great. Quite probably your IPL will be 1.xx and your SPL will be 2.xx. Rerun the button 1.05 ROM downgrade a second time and it will become 1.x on both IPL and SPL. You don't need to redo the unlocking.
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.
Now you SHOULD have a IPL and SPL of 2.26 to work with. If not, you screwed up! Don't attempt to install someone's hard work and ***** before you do these steps!
EDIT for Step 17 - Download and install the 3.08 IPL/SPL rather than the 2.26, your choice! (I suggest doing the T-Mobile 2.26 first but that's me
IF, by chance your device hangs and never completes the flash (always give it a LOT of time, with no programs running, hopefully after a fresh reboot of your computer) you'll be stuck in (hopefully) the bootloader screen. It's very scary (at least to me the 4 or 5 times my own custom ROM's have been bad) all is not lost. Each time (after trial and error) I was able to restore. If this happens reboot your PC and then rerun the Button 1.05. It will act like it doesn't see it at first but have faith! I've tried this by using various provider's shipped ROMs and it always tell me it can't communicate. But, if I reboot, the 1.05 has always worked.
If you still have issues, uninstall ActiveSync. REBOOT! Download and install ActiveSync 4.5 Don't create a partnership. Try to run the 1.05 again.
Also a good idea is to delete your Windows temp folder. With XP this is typically
"C:\Documents and Settings\PC User's Logon Name, whatever that is\Local Settings\Temp" (Show hidden files need to be checked)
Most of you can paste this into your "RUN" box and click OK
cmd /k del "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp" /s/q/f
(type exit and hit enter when it completes)
Also, a good idea is to close all apps, shell to a command prompt by clicking <RUN>, typing cmd and clicking OK. A nice black MS Dos box awaits. Type CHKDSK/F and enter. Then type Y and hit enter. Type exit and hit enter. Reboot your PC and let it go through the data integrity test. Try again.
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.
A last disclaimer
Faria originally posted this unlocking technique using Button's 1.05 and machinagod's lokiwiz 0.2b. I have merely attempted to simplify the steps.
Final note
Microsoft has asked that all ROM's be removed from the FTP and we have complied. I have searched the internet and found the Button 1.05 and T-Mobile ROM's and updated the links here. Thanks to whoever posted the Button 1.05!
Enjoy!

awesome guide, and i just want to thank you guys for doing so much for the community

Great job Dr. P. and real wise words!

Having read varios forums I don't think that would cure the problem. The best solution I think would be as Molski suggested in having moderators with the ability to delete repeating questions. My own suggestion would also be to give people of a certian level (ie: senior member) the ability to start and moderate thier own threads, therefore giving you the ability to keep a thread on topic.

First...great job Dr. P Although you have typed the same thing many times before. I know I read them all.
Now... I agree with what Jose has said here. I for one spent a long time reading and learning before I felt comfortable messing with my phone and I work with software and hardware for a living. Many of the new owners of these phones come on here and jump in with both feet and then the trouble starts. Perhaps Molski should be a mod on this forum, it might help (Molski i will tell you now it is a thankless job.) at least then things would be cleaner around here. I know that everyone has other jobs but couldn't troublemakers be banned sooner than they are and is it really that hard to block an IP? I'm done rambling besides i have to get back to work.
Kirby

Wooh everyone's back at least to offer their 2 cents and Dr. Puttingham, we Americans do speak good ole English maybe colo(u)red sometimes . Faria thanks for commenting. Molski keep up the good work and Summiter, please reach out. This place is not going to be the same without you folks.

Any idea, on how to downgrade a rom back to the original one? My phone needs to be shipped back to TMobile, and i can't get it back to the original T-Mobile NL rom?

To my knowledge Button's 1.05 is lower than any provider's shipping ROM so you shouldn't have any problem "upgrading" to your official shipped ROM. I've personally taken 3 Cingular 8125's back to the shipped 1.08 this way to return to Cingular.
Good luck!

My apologies to Dr. P and all the senior members. I was one of those guys that were constantly asking the repeated question. I got it straightened out now. Both of my MDA's are unlocked and working perfect. Thank you all so much for all your help.

Just an idea - do we all have to have open PM and email. If we could have PM or email only on invite or something, the good people here could get some peace, and everyone had to ask on the forum, where everyone else (at least some of you) can give an answer. We still have to have some moderators i think, but you didnt have to answer hundreds of PMs and emails.

Yes this is off topic. Please don't hijack this thread with issues not directly related to unlocking G3 devices...
Which is precisely what has the folks angry, the threads going in different directions than what was intended.
No offense meant.

Im sorry. I guess that applies to faria, andy_morgan, rkwhyte2, and brando457 too, who was off topic before me. I am new here, and saw the discussion went off topic, but when they did it, I thought it was ok. Sorry again. Im learning, and it will not happen again.

So you dont need to change your operator code and anyway if device wont working you can change it (of course NEW FLASH) -->SKIP
--setoperator.bat is a file it must in the same folder like your nk.nbf file and what is more important it must be together with xda3nbftool.exe
??? -> means oh my god just fill your operator code instead of ???
4. Just copy the file - if you get stuck in this point it would be hard to help you
5. no problem
6. This isnt difficult
7. Yeea
8. So - the true is - yes just run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe but why do you ask when you have already recieved this answer?!

lol thanks for the helpful but funny reply
i never said my op code ORANG001 lol, its 02_001.lol.
yep im a student, studyin electrical n electronic engineering (tis a moutful i knw).
how about yourself?

Yes sorry for that it was another guy (andypa1)
So as a student you can use google to get all the necessary information - so )
And I am student of Informatics
Good luck with your upgrade

Wizard/MDA/8125 Unlocking for Dummies

Well after getting my Wizard a few months ago I looked into unlocking it. The tutorials I found weren't the best because of how many threads they linked to you too which contained more reading to find a simple link. Well I've hosted all the apps you'll need to get your G3 Wizard unlocked with a step by step instructions.
1.Find out if you have a unlockable Wizard meaning G3, if you have a G4 this isn't the thread for you.
you'll see these numbers when you turn on your device
G3 DEVICE: IPL/SPL: 1.XX or 2.XX or 2.XX.00X (only two zeros)
G4 DEVICE: IPL/SPL: 2.XX.000X(three zeros)
2. Okay now your ready to load the Button Rom which you can download here, just connect your phone and open up this exe and fallow the steps the exe gives you.
3. Once your phone turns back on after loading that rom, you'll see a Beer glass as the first picture confirming you've properly got the Button Rom, Once your phones on DO NOT sync your phone just cancel the Active Sync set up.
4. Now download this Lokiwiz.rar, Unrar it and send the cab to your device install it and restart it. Again DO NOT sync your device with Active sync.
5. Now you'll have a Bat in the folder you unrared. Open that you'll see
U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. CID Unlock(super CID)
Q. Quit
6. if you want to unlock your phone to all carriers hit "u" for sim unlock let it restart and if you want to unlock your CID hit "c" let your phone restart and remember DO NOT SYNC with Active Sync between unlocks
7. Now your Wizards unlocked, Heres the T-Mobile Rom to upgrade your IPL/SPL, Download Here. Enjoy your unlocked HTC Wizard and go flash some new WM6 Roms.
Thanks to everyone that made/cooked the programs/roms used in unlocking the Wizard.

Now my phone didnt do a thing, no restarts or anything. my SPL is still 2.66 and the IPL is 1.01. I didnt connect to activesync the entire time. Then i ran the installer enablerapi and tried the steps over but after hitting U my phone and the program do nothing.
Anyways if anyone can explain why the software isnt working or if theres something else i need to downgrade to etc please pm me or post here thanks!

Enter U and hit enter. Remember u is for Sim unlocking Not Cid unlocking, Cid is C.

yeah thats what i hit : U for unlocking

did you install the Cab from the rar

yes the second time i ran the cab then did the unlocking, still no luck

no one has any idea why my phone isnt able to be unlocked?
im tempted to just pay the 100$ to unlock it but id rather do it myself just to say i did hahaha

Thank you so much!!!
It works really well!!!

nice done with the tutorial but still everyone should still read the tutorials and give this warning: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK this tread may have been started sometime but i did not see the warning for the noobs that just want to go straight to the unlocking.
Read!! and then read if you have second thoughts and read again just to make sure but DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

Hi i did this and unlocked my tmobile mda (UK) no problems i can use my dads O2 sim card but i was looking at moving to the three network but when i put my mums three sim card in the phone it doesnt work. Does this mean it hasnt done it corretly or that i just cant use three on this phone.
Thanks for the help

sounds like you extracted the zip/rar in to a folder where a path to that folder has space in the name e.g. "Program files"
if this is the case try extracting to c:/foldername
that may help

Treo 750 Hard-SPL/Unlock/Unbrand Guide

Cannot get Hard-SPL on your Treo 750? Want to unlock/unbrand your Treo 750?
Check attached files to make your life easier.
Here is a guide to having a successful flash:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) THIS STEP IS ONLY FOR VISTA/WIN7 USERS! Follow the guide at this website first and complete all the instructions!
3) Download CheetahUnlocker to your computer, and extract the program - DO NOT RUN IT YET.
4) Download the attached Treo750UnlockFiles.zip and extract it to your computer. Take CHEEIMG.nbh and athena_unlocker.exe and copy them to your SD card.
5) Open/Run CheetahUnlocker.exe, and agree to the warning message. This will open a box with 3 options (2 are greyed out).
Option1:
Click "Flash SPL"
Click Next
Click the checkbox, then click Next
Click the checkbox (again), then click Next (again)
Click the "Update" button, then click Next
At this point CheetahUnlocker will send files to your phone to bypass the protection and flash your phone (called SSPL) and start your phone in bootloader mode. You may have to agree (on your phone) to these files being sent! Since we have placed the CHEEIMG.nbh file on your SD card CheetahUnlocker may respond with an error, ignore this error and click OK, it will go back to its original screen - DO NOT CLICK THE SECOND OPTION YET.
Your phone will find the CHEEIMG.nbh file on your SD card when entering bootloader mode and confirm that you would like to flash the file. Press the "Power/End Call" button to flash this file now, it should go rather quickly and say "Update Success" if all goes well.
After it is finished, pin reset your device using your stylus and the small button near the SD card slot. Your phone will boot up as normal, let it finish entering the OS and reconnect to ActiveSync.
Optional: Enter bootloader to confirm the flash by holding down the "Media" button (round button on left side) and using your stylus on the pin reset button (near the SD card slot) simultaneously. If all went well you should see SPL-1.4.0.OliNex.
Option 2:
Click "Unlock Radio"
Click the checkbox, then click Next
Click the "Update" button, then click Next
The program will flash an unlocked version of the radio to your phone. After it is finished it will boot normally, wait until it is done and has reconnected to ActiveSync. Around this time the program will prompt you with a box telling you it has to send files to your phone to unlock it, this will fail with an error. Click continue and the program will go back to its original screen. On your phone, locate the athena_unlocker.exe file on your SD card using File Explorer/Total Commander/Resco Explorer and RUN it. The program has 2 options, check both of these, then click "Unlock". This will unlock your phone, but we aren't done yet!
Option 3:
Press and hold "Shift" and "2" on your keyboard and click the title bar of CheetahUnlocker. This will unlock all 3 options. Click the 3rd option "Flash Normal Radio".
Click Next
Click the checkbox, then click Next
Click the checkbox (again), then click Next (again)
Click the "Update" button, then click Next
CheetahUnlocker will flash a normal working radio to your phone so that it operates normally. After it is finished, the phone will reboot and load as normal.
Congratulations, your Treo 750 (Cheetah) is now unlocked, unbranded, and ready to go!

Thank you for your contribution! I applied this to my 750 that was sitting around doing nothing so that I can give it to my niece. I haven't been able to test if it works yet as I don't have a SIM for another network. Everything went as you described so I am crossing my fingers.

thanks man it worked like a charm.... i also cant wait for your WM 6.5 cooked rom.. it will be off the chain

Hi,
My brother just gave me his Treo 750 to replace my broken Hermes. I'm trying to Hardspl this device but without the need to hook it up to the computer. My brother lost the usb connection for the Treo. Is there a way I can flash the Hardspl with a MiniSD card? Please help cause this official WM6 on here is locked to UMTS only...cannot change to GSM. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

several days ago i upgrade mytreo from wm 5 to 6.5, but for several item didn't work such a camera, button, & can't switch to silent, & can't turn off (at the red button), & can't read mini SD 2 GB,need for the info to fix it, how should i do?

It isn't working D:
When I attempt this, it goes smoothly, but the SIM unlock isn't happening. When I insert the SIM after running step 3, I get this:
You have tried 76 times, please wait until timeout....
The app is sim lock, and I can't go to any other window.

I cannot create an activesync on the step 1...because my treo stucks in palm logo..please help me navenedrob .....

Is it necessary to do option 1,2 and 3?
My Treo is already simlock-free , so...
Thanks in advanced,
Rickson

you need to unlock the treo even your treo is a sim free. it is not the same...

Ok, so i have to walk through option 1,2 and 3.
I'm gonna give it a go this week.
Thanx

Works great! originally lock At&t Treo 750 and now tested with t-mobile sim and work perfectly. Hardspl also in full effect...since then I've switch a bunch of time between each roms. Thank you for putting together this complete guide.

Anyone yet have a way to write over the Hermes radios 154.__.__ etc. yet

I have same problem with locked vodafone Treo 750. I can go thru all the steps, but at the and the phone is still locked. By the way I can upgrade to wm 6 or downgrade to wm 5. As I see I can not upgrade the radio rom of the phone.
Any help will be apprecitated.
Thanks to the forum.

Read through the threads on the version of the 6.5 ROM you used. Some of the issues you are reporting are known bugs in various versions of 6.5 that have been posted.
For example, navenedrob has indicated he will be publishing an update to his 6.5 ROM which has fixes to most of his ROM's reported bugs, one of the major of which is the 'red button' issue you are experiencing.
