1-15. Done
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.
when i try this I can't get the SPL to go back, IPL is fine, but i've tried 4 sucessive times, no chance..
I then tried this :-
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 )
that went ok, and then I tried flashing roms, but the only one I can get to work is the Wizzard Love ROM.
I'd love to run WM6 but i can't, if i try the other ROMS they flash ok, but I just go back to the Wizzard ROM when it reloads
any ideas ?
very many thanks, Will

"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
Well,
You missed the all important step 17,flashing the T-mobile 2.26,this cud have given you solid IPL/SPL 2.26 to work on,Instead opted for Edit to step 17,flashing 3.08.
Your device is not CID unlocked,download WST tool and check the status of your phone,
secondly you shudn't have upgraded your ipl/spl to 3.08,till you were sure your phone is cid unlock and both the ipl/spl are the same.
anyway download the wst tool to check your phone's status and post the report here,
bugger...
i tried another rom and am stuck in the bootloader...
i have 3.08 for IPL and SPL
I think the WST will not work from the bootloader (and i can't find it to download)
any further sugestions ?
I have tried both the t-mobile and button roms
tia will try not to do any more damage ;-)

In this particular situation no rom will flash,the only option is to get the IPL/SPL back to 1.xx,only than you can unlock.
If you are in boot loader,try to flash buttons 1.05 again,if worked,ok. otherwise download the latest official rom from the carriers site and flash,it will work and bring back your phone in working status.then flash button's 1.05 to unlock with lokiwiz02b.
Are you having any sdcard in your phone,remove it,it'll help,sometimes sdcard freezes the boot loader,by removing it,boot loader mode is released,good luck
many thanks, i came across a IPL SPL 2.26 only ROM and this I managed to get to flash, and with your advise I now have WM6
thanks, Will

i was flashing ship ROM and on 1% it says this nbf is not for ur phone and stops, i've reset it and bootloader starts with ipl 1.01 spl 2.16, should i use NoID_ruu to flash other custom ROM?
you need to flash an official rom first, or a custom rom with updated bootloaders
dont look at my signature, that was before pda service replace my ROM with G3 chip, and ipl\spl was 1.0\1.03, then i did what is right to do - i flash an official ship rom, and then all go as i describe above

flash an official rom, then flash a custom rom
or maybe try downgrading to a 1.xx rom, then reflash and official rom, then flash a custom rom....

thanx ppl, but as said i did all this , everything is fine, im testing faria's rom atm, trying to figure out how to setup PAN, and a2dp seems have some problem too, but i think i'll manage this.
oops , its not allright, faria's rom flashed, os version is correct(build 3.2.0), but alot of things not working, i guess it is becuz of ipl 1.01 version, i need both of em to be 2.xx, i'll try to downgrade to 1.01 ruu costom rom, we'll see what will happend.

i wonder if your problems have anything to do with the fact that your chip was changed.. or maybe not done correctly

As far as i know, they will just change the whole maching rather than changing only the chips... The way the soldering is done on the chips means they can't be taken out easily...

they can actually, they are just surface mount chips, i used to work for a company doing component level repair on electronic devices... and removing a surface mount chip is quit simple with the right tools

didnt think of that, you might have a point there
The problem is that __s(tupid) just rushes in and doesn't read anything before flashing 'til the cows come home.
One clean guide. Thanks very much for this.

I think ur phone is still not unlocked,download WST Tool from the link below and check if it is CID unlocked,if not ,go through the unlocking method again:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
ur IPL1.5 & SPL 3.08,
keep on trying flashing button rom 1.05 a couple of more times u'll get both 1.05 or u may try this rom,it might do the trick:-
Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102
but personally, i believe ur phone is not cid unlocked,check it out
I was using the Custom RUU Wizard 1050412 WWE 101 11210 WWE to downgrade my Cingular 8125 and after flashing the ROM information reads as follow on the boot screen
IPL: 1.01
SPL 2.26
GSM: 01.12.10
OS: 1.5.4.2
Why is the SPL still at 2.26?
shouldn't it go back down to 1.XX
DID I BRINK my fone??????? This is really pissing me off
You nice folks out there please help. I want to upgrade to the pdamobile 3.0 with crossbow icon ROM. Thanks
I wonder why there's a STICKY on top with READ FIRST.... Step 16 seems familiar too me.
Hi,
I read the sticky, unlock cid unlock reflash the rom to 1.XX twice and still the SPL is showing 2.26. Any other suggestion.
Run it twice and it will downgrade to the 1.xx on both ipl and spl. I did this yesterday. if your going up to the 3.3 eventually make sure you flash to a 2.XX before going full fledged 3.3. I thought I bricked my **** yesterday too, but luckily with the help of a few nice people on here, i got it worked out.
Hi,
I ran it 3 times with no luck. I don't know what I'm missing the IPL is at 1.01 but the SPL is still 2.26. Now when I ran Lokiwiz 2b for the Super CID unlock I get error message, file too big. Help. This is driving me nuts
try reflashing the 1.xx twice, then doing lokiwiz, are you using the right lokiwiz? I'm no pro, but maybe that will help?
and did you copy the enablerapi file?
which lokiwiz version u are using I used 2b and 3
I used 2b, did you copy enablerapi?
OK...I have a MDA. I upgraded to IPL/SPL 3.08 and radio version 2.69...then i wanted to CID-Unlock so i downgraded to the ROM that it says to run i forget the numbers exactly...but i got IPL 1.03(i think) and SPL 3.08 tried to unlock didn't work so ohh well now I'm trying to upgrade to T-Mobile 2.26 default rom and it wont work...first says Connection Fail...now says Upgrade ONLY...anyhelp? If you need more info lmk.
you messed up the IPL and SPL you should of CID unlocked before chnaging those versions...try loading a OEM rom to replace it all to the same then loading the button rom to and unlcok the mda then load the custom rom then load the Ipl and SPL and then flash from there
The Tmobile 2.26ROM will not flash...does anyone know where i can download an older version ipl/spl rom flasher? i think thats all i need to get it working but can't find it
keep reflashing the button rom until you have IPL and SPL of 1.xx

I tried it couple of times but it didn't work. However I never tried 3.XX of the IPL/SPL. I had 2.2X of SPL and 1.XX of IPL when I unlocked the CID.
Got it working now...had to Flash Button ROM, run EnableRapi.cab on phone...then lokiwiz (U)nlock reboot (C)ID Unlock reflash Button ROM IPL/SPL matched then FLASH tmobile stock rom...worked like a charm YAY lol
I believe that my brother' Wizard is CID unlocked already, because I also flashed many WM5 into it. But few days ago I tried to flash the WM6.1 and now it is stuck at the 1st splash screen.
I have a lot experiences from flashing rom by Hermes, Atom, Herald, Kaiser… I have read and tried many time how to solve this problem but it did not work. The re-flashing progress was exellent with ’ CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE’, the screen still say as below:
IPL 1.01
SPL 3.08
GSM 01.12.01
OS 1.5.4.2
But any flash with other roms like T-Mobile 2.26 was stopped by connection or ID errors. The problem is how can I get the IPL/SPL back to 1.xx!
Appreciate any help!
Thanks!
Run the button rom ( custom rom you identified ) again - it can take a few tries, but both your ipl and spl have to be the same 1.xx
You need ipl/spl of 1.xx to unlock
You need ipl/spl of 2.xx to upgrade to wm6
I had to run the button rom twice to achieve this
Good luck

I know how to do it and did it many (10 ) times with custom rom but no good result. The IPL has been downgarded to 1.01 but SPL is still 3.08.
Anyway, thanks for your reply!
Sorry about that - was just trying to help
Check out the response from mestrini on the attached thread - he mentions something about the spl freezing if you downgrade from 3.xx to 1.xx
I was not aware of this info - and perhaps mestrini can give you some details on how to get around it - if that is the issue here.

Try to bring ipl to 3.08 by reflashing ipl/spl 3.08 to bring both ipl/spl to 3.08 and then flash the official stock rom to downgrade to 2.xx and then downgrade to 1.xx by button's rom 1.05.
Cheers!

I also did it many times by using IPL_SPL_3.08.rar, but after that could not flash with T-Mobile 2.26 rom to downgrade to 2.26. The connection error always appear.
2 days ago, before bringing IPL/SPL to 3.08 I also brought it to 2.26 and the flash ran well. But when I tried to downgrade to 1.xx by button rom 1.05, only the IPL was changed to 1.xx, SPL was still the same as 2.26.
I realized that many people succeeded by doing this but not me even the process is the same step by step! And I really dont know why?

If it had once got spl 2.26,you shud have tried to flash the button's a couple of more times to downgrade the spl to 1.xx,why again you upgraded to 3.08. Now I believe the SPL is locked at 3.08 and it requires more efforts to downgrade to 2.xx,the only way is to keep on flashing the tmo 2.26 some more times,if you are lucky,it might downgrade.Otherwise upgrade to 3.08 and keep using wm5 official stock Rom.
Cheers!
hi, i am downgrading my wizard for days now. i followed the guided by dr puttingham. but my SPL won't downgrade. i used the button ROM & even the wizard_love ROM for several times now. my IPL is now 1.01 but my SPL is still 3.08. my wizard is a G3
anyone pls help
thank you for your Assistance
Flash 2 Times in a Row the button Rom 1.05 and you'll get both ipl and spl 1.05.
Anyway (Since It is understood you are in the process Cid unlocking) if your IPL is 1.05 try the LokiWiz.
I Cid Unlocked having IPL 1.05 Spl 2.25.
Aldo
I thought it was
Flash 1.05; CID/SIM unlock; Flash 1.05; CID/SIM unlock again.
It's been so long
thanks for your reply. but i did both the cid unlocking using lokiwiz and tried lashing the ROM twice and it still doesn't work
there must be something you missed in the directions.
Youa have to run the lockwiz aplication twice also. one for sim one for cid. usualy when I have that type of problem it is starring me in the face and i cant see it. I recomend stepping away from it for a bit.
downgrade and unlock ipl/spl 2.16
hi,
got a g3 wizard from imate - imate k-jam. have been reading up on the various posts on flashing g3 devices.
on one of the posts thru wiki:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
i saw this "With your device connected to your computer as Guest, run the file that your downloaded. It's pretty much self-explanatory. Agree to everything, and let it do it's thing. It is downgrading your IPL to 1.05. You can only unlock your phone if the IPL is 1.xx, you can't do it if your IPL is 2.xx."
my worry is that my ipl is 2.xx
can i proceed with this? is there anyone who has successfully been able to do those steps on a device with 2.xx ?
Please advice.
Try This
I was having the same problem using button 1.05.Try using this rom The Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe. Find it in the tutorial and download.Then follow the instructions.
