I just upgraded my QTEK 9100 with the latest RIsidoro rom and have now a 2.26 OS but...always an ipl 1.03 and a spl 1.03.0000.
The device hangs and I can't have any activsync runnuing to reflash to an other version. How can I recuperate my PPC?
Thanks in advance

To get you started have a look at these threads:

More info required.
When having problems with Rom Upgrades you really need to provide as much information as possible about your situation.
Please state the following:
What Rom did you have prior to upgrading, include IPL/SPL numbers.
Do you know if your device is G3 or G4 flash chip?
Is your device CID Unlocked?
Have your read (thoroughly) the instructions provided for the Rom you attempted to upgrade?
My initial guess would be that the Rom you flashed doesn't include IPL/SPL (as Risidoro clearly states in the Original Post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700)
In this case, you need to flash one of the Operator provided AKU 2.x Roms to get your IPL/SPL up to 2.x BEFORE you flash Risidoro's Rom to your device.
Thank you for you reaction
Before flashing I had following situation
IPL 1.03
SPL 1.03.0000
GSM 1.410.0
OS 1.37.10
I didn't saw the thread wher it said that the isodoro flash wasn't a complete one. So I upgraded the device with this rom on the above config
After flashing with Isodoro I have same IPL and SPL no GSM anymore and OS 2.26...
I have no USB connection anymore, I supose I can not flash anymore. The device is extremely slow. The only rescue I see is eventualy to flash the device again with the mini SD.
Before I started the first flash I did a CID unlock. Actualy i don't now if it is locked again.
If tou need more info don't hesitate and thanks for helping.
I'm going to give you some general info but you will have to do your own leg work to put this together.
The Wizard Wiki will contain some of the information you need:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
Also see the stickied posts at the beginning of the Wizard upgrading forum.
I am assuming that your device is not properly CID Unlocked (although it may be doing it again will not harm your device).
First you will need to download an Operator Rom, I would suggest this one:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
as it is an official Qtek AKU 1.x Rom.
Second place your Device into Bootloader Mode (search on it) and run the update that you downloaded.
At this point you are pretty close to where you were when you started.
Now, CID Unlock your Phone! Use this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
If you have followed the instructions and everything went okay then you can now flash any of the Roms you (except one that are marked as G4 only since you appear to have a G3 Device).

Looks like you flashed a 2.xx rom with no bootloader into a 1.xx system.
First try a full 2.xx rom from a carrier (cingular 2.25 comes to mind) then reflash the rom you want. Be careful playing with the phone in the current state as the battery will drain and not re-charge. I had to have a friend charge my battery for me when I did this same thing.
many thanks
I followed the procedure you give and recuperated my phone.
Thanks a lot for the assistance.
Merry christmas and happy new year

Hy guys...i have a problem, my device stucked in bootloader mode..can someone help me? please, IPL 2.18, SPL 2.18
soft reset
i tried to install another rom, but on 98% stucked...can i put wm6?
come on... help yourself, have you cid unlocked? what was the error message?...
so, i tried now to install a wm5 version, and on PC it's showing 99% and i'm still waiting about 1h, and on phone 98%
i repeat

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 am a little noob when it comes to rom upgrading. so, i apologise if this is a stupid question. i flashed my wizard with wizard love rom. the ipl and spl both show 1.01 and os 2.26.10.2..but, no gsm.also, my phone doesn't catch signals.now, if i need to flash a radio rom, which radio rom should i flash, and is there any risk of bricking my device ??
thanks..
puja
There's very little risk (I'm definitely not going to say there's none because you always take some risk when flashing) with flashing a radio ROM. I kind of curious though, most people only flash the wizard love ROM so they can CID unlock before going on to flashing other ROM's such as a WM6 version. Are you planning on keeping the wizard love ROM as your OS? Which radio ROM you decide to flash kind of depends on where are and what ROM you're using. 2.19.11 seems to be the most popular one to flash though. Check the wizard wiki if you need to download it.
Basically flasing Radio ROM will not brick the device, and it also does not require CID unlocking.
Beside 2.19.11, 2.47.11 and 2.69.11 Radio ROM are also popular.
If you have unlocked your device after downgrading IPL and SPL, just get a 3.08 IPL/SPL upgrade package and you will get all IPL/SPL/Radio ROM upgraded to the most current version.
p.s. You now have IPL/SPL 1.01 that is too old and should be upgraded (Instead you MUST upgrade to at least 2.xx if you plan to use WM6)
i was earlier having ipl n spl 2.xx..but i wanted to unlock my device.so, i downgraded to button's 1.05 rom..but i couldn't unlock it (See my post in the topic 'The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards'), after which i decided to simply flash the love rom...
What by mean of "couldn't unlock"?
What error is shown from lokiwiz/aWizard?
p.s. Unlocking require ActiveSync connection
edit. sorry

when i run 'lokiwiz.bat' as instructed, it says 'your phone is now unlocked', but my device doesn't reboot..u may read my post in ''The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards"..is there any way to check if my phone is unlocked or not ???
Search for and download wizard service tool. It has a button on it that you can press and it will tell you if you're unlocked or not.
I'll save you the searching since about 10 seconds after I wrote that last post I saw the wizard service tool thread. It's here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295038
Hi,
I accidentally flashed a not CID unlocked wizard with Black Diamond rom using a ShellTool - now it loads only till windows splash screen!
It is G3 device - it allows to flash Buton rom, also MiniSrom and others - process bar goes to 100% but windows doesn't boot anyway!
What options do I have?
PS. I guess I'm one of the guy who have bricked the most devices ever - this one, 3x HTC Tytn, S200, etc.
Need QTEK 9100 German Rom - the wiki links are dead!
Can anybody please advise where to look for Qtek 9100 german rom?!!!

Have a look for the SD Card Backup method - see also in the wiki for reference/link.
hi, thanks for the replay!
How does the SD card method is supposed to work? Do I need a backup of the old rom? I don't have one!
The phone is NOT cid unlcoked!
After a while playing with the Wizards I have found some things - I got 4 wizards by now - and I have managed to brick 2 of them.
First thing to recommend to all - if your Wizard is running and everything is fine - then don't upgrade - you don't need that brick. Trough if you try to upgrade and you can't get from wm5 to wm6 - then probably you should stop trying unless you want to brick your device totally!!!!
Now I have one Wizard G3 probaby not CID unlocked with IPL 1.01 / SPL 1.03 and different OS versions - I can flash button Rom, Wizard Love etc. but nothing changes, just the version of the OS. I have no GSM and the IPL stays 0.01.
The second one - seems to be CID unlocked - allows to flash any rom, IPL changes, SPL stays at 3.08 - can't downgrade, OS changes - can't boot!
I can flash these units forever, I can change bootscreens - but I can't get back to windows!
This happened when I tried to use ShellTool to flash WM6 on my Wizards - don't do that!!!!
Can anybody tell me why I'm not able to boot OS if I have the Wizard Love rom, button rom and other full working roms on my wizards?
Thanks!
PS. I'm starting to consider to donate a few devices to someone who could try to solve this - I could donate: 3 HTC Tytn, 2 Wizards, 2 Prophets, 2 Alpine etc. - is anybody interested?
karlux - I'd be willing to take a crack at the devices you have and get some good documentation going for everyone. I have successfully revived Wizards, Apache, Wallaby, and the Hurricane so far.
PM/Email me if you want my address to send the victims ...er ... I mean "patients".
donate? how about sending one my way?

How come you have that many devices ? What's your job ?
Your "dead" wizard is not dead. Only stuck. Get it into bootloader and re-flash .

Shelltool isn't dangerous if you use it properly, meaning you can't flash WM6 if the IPL/SPl are still in 1.xx
To use the SD card method and the phone is CID locked then i recommend using imeicheck's tool to CID unlock (must pay) and then try that method.
As for the donation, i wouldn't mind geeting a Prophet as they are related to the Wizard and in case it could be recovered i could try to make a similar tool to WST: the Prophet Service Tool
let me know if you'd like PM or other means of contact...
cheers
sorry-thread hijacking-
I have a similar problem, i (thought) i had CID unlocked my wizard, followed all the instructions, about reflashing the rom's went to 1.05 the to 2.26 & then IPL & SPL to 3.08 in an attempt to flash WM6..
all went well until the last step & it got to 99% of flashing WM6 & came up with a communication error (battery is fully charged!)
Now im stuck in bootloader, & can't re flash any other roms, tried the wizard with love & 1.05 again ...noting doing... have i made a complete brick ??
HELP!!!!!!!
edit, just tried with the O2 offical upgrade...it started to load on but came up with Error 296 Upgrade Only, the NBF file could not be used...
TRY THIS .... I just recovered from a similar stuck in BootLoader issue.
Steps to recovery:
1. Fully charge your phone (VIA Power Cord ... NOT USB)
2. Get the phone to bootloader (three color mode) - by soft resetting and holding the camera button at the same time
2. Connect it to the computer (Windows XP) with a USB cable
3. You will notice "USB" written in a lower corner of the phone (this means it is connected)
4. Download your providers ROM (The "real" rom provided by Cingular/ATT). You can get the one for the 8125 from HTCAmerica here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8125/software-downloads.html
5. Stop ActiveSync (from Task Manager)
6. Run the program downloaded in step 4. This will reflash your phone with the ROM. This seems to be the ONLY WAY possible to reload a ROM from BootLoader.
Enjoy!
Thanks, i;ve tried that with this software & the o2 software....i get the same error message both times...
Error296 UPGRADE ONLY,
This NBF File cannot be used on you PDA Phone,
Please get a newer NBF file.
WTF is a NBF file, where do i get a newer one from & how do i get it on the device!!!
thanks

Hey!
I believe,as u have mentioned in ur earlier post that u have upgraded to ipl/spl 3.08,therefore all the official roms r not flashing.Well its not necessary to upgrade to ipl/spl 3.08 to go for wm6.All the experts & cooks in all their threads have mentioned to upgrade to ipl/spl 2.26 to have a stable/strong working plateform, so now I wud suggest u to plz try to flash Buttons's rom 1.05 and get back to ipl/spl 1.05 than onward upgrade to ipl/spl 2.26 by flashing t_mobile 2.26.
If u r able to get back to ipl/spl 1.05,than again use lokiwiz to confirm CID unlock,hope this works out. U can also use the latest WST tool by mestrini to check the status of ur wizzard as if its cid locked or unlocked.it can also be used to unlock cid,goodluck

I just want to add that you MUST stop at 2.xx bootloader when downgrading from 3.08 to 1.xx, otherwise you might end up with a 'locked' SPL in 3.08

I have an i-mate k-Jam running Windows Mobile 5
I have tried a number of ROMS to upgrade to WM6/6.1
The upgrade appears to be successful and the inital screen suggest the upgrade has worked but the setup screens are still WM5 and after setup the device is still running WM 5.
As an example using the XM6r5Lite ROM shows a XDA 6 screen after hard boot but is still running WM5

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?
Thanx.

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.
