I just tried updating my 8125 with this update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330080). I had my deviced unlocked by Cingular some time ago. Anyway, I get to the end, get the error message and go into the recovery tool. I have the red, green and blue screen. I run the recovery tool and the error is I need an updated RUU tool? Now my screen is stuck on the red, green and blue.
Now what?
try flashing to your latest provider rom. if you can get to that screen (bootloader) you're not bricked.
I ended up doing that and it did the trick. So I have started all over again. I can't however locate the RUU version 1.5? so that I can downgrade the rom, run CID and then flash. The link on that post does not work.

As long as your phone can get into bootloader mode (tricolor screen),it's not bricked.
What you mean by getting your phone unlocked by cingular,you must have gotten the SIM unlock code from the cingular,it'll only SIM unlock your phone,meaning you can use sim of any carrier with this code,but SIM unlock and CID unlock are two different things.If you want to upgrade to wm6,you are required to CID unlock your phone.

Thanks. I did end up searching for that rom and found it. I followed the instructions and I now have that HTC Rom for WM5. Its really nice!

Oh Yeeeeeeeeeeaaah !!!
You know ,you are a gem of a lady
Help!!
I know this question has come up a million times, but I have an 8125 IPL 2.25 SPL 2.25 thats stuck on the red green and blue screen tried to update to WM6 and screwed up, I know the answers are all here but if someone cold take the time to put them in a sequence for this stupid old man would be appreciated or if you want me to send you the phone and pay to have it done can do that as well.... Leave me a message
Would help if you let us know whether your wizard is G3 or G4...
I don't think I'm as lucky..
I was having issues iwth my G4 Wizard getting the TNT TouchFlo 19199 ROM to flash. It said it was OS only so I didn't do SoftSPL (possible mistake)
It locked at 99% with a communications error..
I then tried to flash with what I thought was the wizard Love rom but turned out (Definate mistake) to be the Wizard Button which it came up as successfully flashed but it froze at teh start up screen..
That is when I noticed that the IPL was 1.01 instead of 2.28.0001 like the SPL.. Now this thing won't even power on.. This device I believe then is truly bricked.
Any thoughts on what I should do other than pretend to talk to ppl on the phone?

Hy guys...i have a problem, my device stucked in bootloader mode..can someone help me? please, IPL 2.18, SPL 2.18

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.

oh i flashed it to what i think was 2.0...still the same bootloader problem but now it says IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.01...but still stuck at the bootlader screen...
Flash button rom:

Have you read and followed this and the steps it points you to?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
I assume you have a G3 since you are flashing these other roms, and based on the IPL/SPL numbers you are giving. You need to give us specifics of what you have done, what happened at each step and where you are at now. Details are a good thing, as its hard to diagnose with just bits of the information. At one point you say 2.6 (no idea what that is) then you say you are stuck at 1.01, and now you say 2.26. So please tell us (in gory detail!) what all you have done...
If you follow all the steps in the thread above you will get CID Unlocked, but at the point where you are now, you need to flash YOUR PROVIDER's original rom to get back to a known state. Then try doing the CID Unlock.
alright i was using molskis 3.0 and for some reason sometimes my phone would not dial or connect so i restart it once every few days...well i did a simple restart and when my phone turned back on it was on the bootloader screen with IPL and SPL of 2.26...i figured i would have to flash the rom again or go to an earlier one...so i get home and try to flash molskis 3.0 again...right after it finishes and restarts itself it comes up with the bootloader screen again...now at this point im thinking i might have to do an earlier one like the original t-mobile rom and so i tried that...same problem stuck at the bootloader screen but with IPL and SPL of 1.01...so i post and then vippie tells me to download the button rom...i try that and no luck still the same problem and i followed those steps exactly and no luck...so now my phones just sitting on my nightstand charging with a bootloader screen and nothing else and the IPL and SPL says 2.26...could it be internal damage or what? i like my phone and dont wanna have to spend the money on a new one but at this point im thinking i might have to...thanks mfrazzz for offering your help...i know i seem like a noob and i really suck at punctuation but im not stupid so anything you guys tell me to do in detail i will be able to try
I don't follow you anymore.... you got IPL/SPL 1.01 and tried to flash button rom, after this your IPL/SPL is 2.26? Impossible....
Sometimes it won't go past bootloader no matter what you do... do this to revive:

ALRIGHT,
Let me finish this once and for all,you say as per your posts that you have upgraded to wm6 and even boost in your signature by posting info 'SIM/CID unlocked' and wm6 Rom upgrade 'NBD TouchFLO V9.2' and than start threads asking how to remove the splash screen of T-mobile at start up ? and posted in different threads regarding this.
Well,let me tell you,THAT YOU HAVE NOT ,I repeat,YOU HAVE NOT upgraded to any wm6 Rom up till now,what in fact you have been able to accomplish till now is that,you have flashed a wm5 Official Rom T-Mobile 2.26 over an already existing wm5 official Cingular Rom.I don't know if you have actually followed the guide correctly and the procedure and got your phone actually cid unlocked or not as per the method described in the above thread.
To verify the present status of you phone download the WST tool and post here the report generated by it,but keep in mind to post both reports a)Device Info b) CID locked/unlocked info,hitting the button on the wst tool with cid action written on it,only than it can be verified if your device is actually cid unlocked or not.
Otherwise,read and reread the guide at the below link to fully understand the method of cid unlocking and upgrading,OR,take my honest advise,if still you don't understand it,PLZ Forget about all this unlocking and upgrading,otherwise I'm sure you'll 'BRICK' your device and blame other's.Cuz you don't know the heck of unlocking and upgrading till now,just do yourself and on this forum a favour, 'STOP SPAM' by posting and starting threads .

I started a new thread so that people wouldn't have to read through my trials but long story short I have a G3 wizard and I'm trying to flash it. Followed all of the steps in the guide by vippie. I used the button rom to start with but mine was one of the many that stopped at 98% and gave me error 302 so I ended up using the XDA mini rom as the alternative that was suggested.
Now I've flashed my phone three times with the same rom to try and get the IPL and SPL the same but to no avail. The IPL and SPL are 1.05 and 2.25 respectively. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hey i flashed my tmobile mda to a chinese rom too and then it changed spl to a diff version than the ipl and then i tried to flashed it with love rom and still it doesnt change the ipl and spl to the same version that i had before, then i removed the battery then my phone does not charge or turn on anymore, i have a g4 by the way, i m not sure if i bricked it or not

Surely you're not serious? oh Jesus, you are.
OK... SPL is separate from IPL, not only is it impossible to get them to be "the same version" it would also achieve nothing to actually do so either... so please, the procedure is very simple, you flash a patched SPL, you flash your crap on. Job Done... I thought there was already a patched SPL for G3... do I need to make one of those as well?!?

Well that seems logical however I was misinformed. SO I've flashed this Xda_mini rom, then what is the cause of the issues I was having getting a connection error when trying to CID unlock? Wizards have to be CID unlocked before flashing 2.X roms right?
What started as a simple, objective thread, has become quite confusing in a matter of a few posts.

Well, in fact your problem ISN'T the same as SharpieMarker's because his phone is still alive...
I believe you tried to downgrade a G4 to 1.xx bootloader which only exist for G3. Once the battery came out your phone could never boot again. Say bye bye to it...

A LOT of people are reporting failed downgrades which 'block' the SPL at 2.xx. Once there even after 30 flashes the SPL never lowers to 1.xx to allow CID unlocking.

So what is the solution or is it the patched SPL that Olipro is referring to?
The HardSPL (Olipro) is ONLY for use with G4. The flash program should keep you from flashing it to a G3 Wizard because their SPL code are not compatible.
SoftSPL also doesn't work for G3 wizard.
joco2560 should be produced a brick because as I know, no unofficial Chinese ROMs are equipped with G4 IPL and SPL.
Man if only these guys would have read the WIKI... There is a link in my signature to an outstanding tutorial for newbies. Just read it and you will feel enlightened.

Okay, firstly I have not bricked my device. I have read all of the guides and walkthroughs before attempting anything on my wizard. Unfortunately your guide that you have written, just like the other ones, has not answered my question or told me what I should do (unless I have missed it somewhere which is possible).
Okay, after some finagling with the lokiwiz application I managed to unlock and then cid unlock my phone however the IPL is still 1.05 and the SPL is 2.25. Is that accurate or should the SPL be lower now? Do I need to reflash?
Alright, after re-re-re-re-re-reading the instructions I think I understand the bit about IPL and SPL. I think. Feel free to clarify though.
If lokiwiz does not show any errors during unlocking (NOTE That lokiwiz always shows successful regardless it is actually unlocked or not, so the error message is the most important), then either try to flash Button's ROM again and you will get 1.05 IPL and SPL (That's my way), and others suggests to upgrade IPL and SPL directly to 3.08.

There was no error message when I CID unlocked. It successfully unlocked both times (the first using the U command and after a restart using the C command). My phone restarted twice during the unlocking so I think it went just fine. So should I proceed with the flashing of the tmobile rom? After the unlocking I have an IPL of 1.05 and an SPL of 2.25.
You can always go back to Button's ROM, so it's OK to flash T-Mobile ROM.
However I still recommend to flash Button's ROM once more first.

Yes you should now be CID unlocked and can flash any Rom you want as long as it does not contain an IPL/SPL.
And by the way, It does tell you in that WIKI exactly what you need to do to CID unlock your device. (The SPL will not downgrade to 1.05 unless you flash the button Rom again AFTER completing The Unlocking Process through lokiwiz. I wouldn't even reccomend flashing the button Rom again. It's pointless because Flashing the T-Mobile Rom is going to upgrade you IPL/SPL to a higher, matching pair and is going to give you a very strong, stable base rom to flash to a custom Rom From.

I think you should check your CID status with WST before trying to flash a custom ROM. Lokiwiz doesn't check for errors and proceeds as if everything went ok even if it didn't.
For all we know your phone might be originally from T-Mobile and even CID locked would always accept an official ROM.
format is failed after a power outage in the middle of ugrading with shell tool.
made it worse bu trying to flash with tmobiles latest rom.
so now i'm stuck in boot screen with the following
Device is g3 with
IPL 3.08
SPL 3:08
GSM 02.69.11
OS 3.8.2.1
did i mention CID unlocked?
please advice
rephrase
Let me rephrase the question.
I have a friend who saw me use shell tool to upgrade my cid locked wizard.
He went home to try the same on his cid locked g3 wizard.
he had bad luck and it was interrupted mid way through so he brought me his dead wizard.(stuck on bootloader)
The only official rom i had was Tmobile's 3.08 so i flashed it to try and revive it.
it flashed and finished but still stuck on bootloader.
when i try and hard reset it says "format is failed".
button rom wont work, wizard love wont work, sd method wont work as it is cid locked.
Any ideas?
And if none, will imei-check work..
Get the official stock ROM for his Wizard, then flash it and you will get a working Wizard back.
However, if the IPL and SPL still stays at 3.08, there is possibility that IPL and SPL not downgradeable, so unlocking may not be possible.
Another thing...by CID unlocking the Wizard, there is no reason to use ShellTool while you can actually use RUU directly! Using ShellTool may lead to incomplete update!
Not yet home
Hey, the stock rom (tmobile 3.08) succesfully flashes but the wizard still doesnt boot. it gets stuck on the first screen.
Any more ideas?
BTW i'm very experimental so i'll try anything..
Hi,
Have you tried to flash the wizard with Hard-SPL or Soft-SPL.
I had the same with mine wizard (G4) but Hard-SPL worked for me.
You have a G3 so I don't no if it will work. Otherwise read this thread first post
Hope it will work.
