I was flashing my 8125 using awizard. I went through the whole process and at the end I recieved and error message on my phone. Now when I reboot my phone I cannot get past the splash screen. I have IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26
When I get into bootloader mode and try to run the Original Cingular update I can get to the part where it starts the flash and I am told I need a newer NBF file. All other cooked roms I have tried won't even get that far.
I have backed up the rom image from my other 8125 that has ipl 2.25 and spl 2.25. When I try to restore from the SD card I am told the Update is not allowed.
Please help me because I cannot fix this.....

define stuck. Did it just pause and you were impatient or was it stuck at 95% for more than 10 minutes? Long pauses of a couple minutes are very common in flashing a wizard. It is very important that you just wait and do not unhook your USB or reset the phone. Best practice is set up the flash then once it starts leave the room for 30 minutes. If it is still going in 30 minutes then you have an issue.
Did you CID unlock your phone? (NOT the same as SIM unlock)
Does your phone boot into windows now? Or does it get stuck at the bootloader (tri-color screen)?
but it gives an communication error
i have now 2.26 i am trying it again (i also tried the CID unlock again with lokiwiz)
If you got IPL/SPL 2.21 then you didn't go through all the steps of the sticky. You can expect trouble!
i found the problem already the cid unlock was unsuccesfull
nou it is an succes.
i have now wm6 mb
Hi, Ive looked around the forum and cannot find a solution to my problem. Ok, step by step here is what I did: I used the button 1.05 custom ROM, this was installed successfully. Then I used the definitive guide to unlocking the G3 wizard using the lokiwiz tool and this was successful as far as I know. I then upgraded to the t - mobile 3.08 ROM as this was recommended before upgrading to a WM6 ROM. This is where the problems began. I tried to flash Faria's WM6 crossbow rom and partway through the flash it hung and got stuck in bootloader mode. I read around the forums and tried to downgrade back to button 1.05, the tmobile 3.08 rom, and also the cingular 2.25 rom. The furthest I got was about 49% on the progress when my phone returns to the bootloader screen. My phone always seems to do one of two things: I either get a communication error "with my pc" which starts the recovery process(which never actually works) or I get error 274 which says that I am no longer connected to my pc (even though it still says "usb" on the screen of my pocket pc. I know that my battery will soon run out and I will have to buy a new one to resume trying to get my phone to work again. I ve also uninstalled active sync, re- down loaded and installed it, rebooted my computer (as was suggested) and this didnt work. Some one please help me as I am pretty new at this and cannot find this exact issue on the forums. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Try to flash on another PC.
Ok I've tried to flash it on 3 different PCs and I havent been able to make it work, any other suggestions?
You have misread and misunderstood the definitive guide.You are confusing T-mobile 2.26 and IPL/SPL 3.08,its T-mobile 2.26 and not T-mobile 3.08. T-mobile 2.26 is a Rom ,an OS (Operating System) and IPL/SPL 3.08 are the latest upgrades to Bootloaders and not a rom.
Now,after downgrading with Button's Rom 1.05,your phone's IPL/SPL must have been 1.05,then you applied lokiwiz02b to SIM/CID unlock the phone,but ipl/spl must have remained 1.05 as you had Button's Rom 1.05 installed on your phone.
In order to upgrade to wm6,its required to have IPL/SPL 2.xx,so you were supposed to flash T-mobile 2.26 to get your IPL/SPL 2.26,but,instead of flashing t-mobile 2.26,you flashed IPL/SPL 3.08,so you have now IPL/SPL 3.08,correct ?
IPL/SPL 3.08 is an option to upgrade your IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) but upgrading to T-mobile 2.26 is recommended,so that you get IPL/SPL 2.xx to upgrade to wm6.There's your mistake,got my point ?
So,now try to downgrade to ipl/spl 2.xx or 1.xx,to do so,download the official carrier's rom of your phone from it's website and flash to get back to its original default status.
After that reread the guide correctly and follow the method.
Good luck
Thanks for your help, I'll try that and let you know how it turns out.
OK i downloaded the official cingular ROM 2.25 and attempted to flash it. I got about 76% done and got a communication error. I've tried to do it several times since then with no luck. However, my ipl and spl did change to 2.25. What should I do now?
Anybody have any suggestions? I'm dying here guys I would really appreciate some help, thanks
ok,get into Bootloaders (tricolor screen)check usb appear at the bottom of bootloaders,,try to get down to ipl/spl 1.xx,first try with button's rom,if it works,fine,otherwise try xda_minis_launch rom or wizard_love rom,if any of them installs,download WST tool and check the status of your phone by hitting the 'CID Action' button.It'll verify if your phone is locked or unlocked,ok,if unlocked then flash t_mobile 2.26 and if locked,run the lokiwiz02b again to unlock.
while flashing,turn off any antivirus,firewall and don't surf the net,check email or play any games.Leave the phone and pc alone.Must have a fully charged battery.Delete partnership with activesync and uncheck 'Allow usb connection' in the activesync,it helps sometimes.Try with a different usb cable or plugin usb cable in other usb input slot of the pc.I do hope,it might do the trick and work out fine.
Good luck
I want to install WM^on my Vario, but I can't get further than step 17- installing 2.26 Rom.....
Everything did go fine, I have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.06, en when I want to update tot 2.26, i get an error [294] INVALID VENDER ID
Now I'm stuck at the RGB screen.
So I installed button's rom again, now i have a working Vario, but when i try it again, AGAIN the INVALID VENDER ID error, stuck at the RGB screen...
wtf?
Use WST to make sure you have successfully CID unlocked your device.
If it is confirmed, get another version of RUU from other ROMs and copy nk.nbf to that RUU.

Your phone is still CID unlocked,after flashing and downgrading with Button's Rom 1.05,you are supposed to use lokiwiz 02b to SIM/CID unlock the phone and then upgrade to T-mobile 2.26.
Cheers!
yes, that was the problem, i didn't read the "press C in lokiwiz.bat'- part of the tutorial!
Now i'm running tnt touchflo
But is there any Dutch translation of TNT? Or Dutch WM6 ROM wich I can use? Or do I have to go back to WM5?
ok so after reading many many times and attempting to flash to 1.05 which worked but i was never able to upgrade. I used the shell tool to try and get XM6R5 to flash and it locked up. since then the phone now starts to boot but locks in on the button rom (from button with love) and shows
IPL 1.05
SPL 3.08
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
After sitting on this bootup screen for over a minute the picture looks shaky??
So i attempted to reflash to 1.05 again and it goes all the way to 100% and tells me successful and reboots then locks up! So i try to flash back to Tmobile rom and i get a 296 error: ERROR {296} : UPGRADE ONLY This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. please get new NBF file.
The usb and active sync wont work either.
I even held the comm and voice button and pushed reset and tried to format and it says format failed.
Please help, i now wish i never attempted to flash to WM6. This is a brand new replacement MDA and i figured i would attempt to upgrade it before i did anything and now it seems locked!
ok,as long as it gets stuck at the loading splash screen of button's rom,it ain't dead yet.
First,how did you get SPL 3,08 ?,did you flash the ipl/spl 3.08 before flashing the button's rom 1,05 ?
Secondly,There was no need to upgrade with 'Shell Tool',after downgrading to ipl/spl 1.xx by button's rom,you shud have used 'lokiwiz02b' to SIM/CID unlock the phone and upgraded to any wm6 Rom.Try to get the phone in bootloaders mode(Tricolor screen),if it gets there,download the official carrier's rom of your phone from its website and flash it in the bootloaders to bring the phone back to its default status.After that downgrade with button's rom 1.05 and SIM/CID unlock your phone with 'lokiwiz02b' and upgrade to wm6.
its very hard to brick it fortunatly
let us know if you succeeded , it might help others
I flashed to 1.05, then tried tmobile 2.26, once i did that i upgraded to 3.08 which made ipl/spl 3.08. I tried several times to reflash to 1.05 again and the ipl changed back but the spl stays at 3.08. I have flashed several times to 1.05 and the spl will not change from 3.08(how can i make it do this) So now that the 3.08 is stuck there the original tmobile rom wont install and it gives me a 296 error when attempted.
I have taken the battery out and gotten into bootloader on reboot however, when i flash to 1.05 or tmobile and it goes thru the cycle... once it gets to 100%(I also get the pop up that says upgrade successful and hit ok) the phone reboots and then gets stuck again in the splash screen?!?! then the screen gets shaky looking as well?
oh and i used the shell tool because everytime i downloaded the button rom the ipl only changed to 1.05 the spl would never change from 2.26 to 1.05 and i tried several times to flash. then using lokiwiz2b it would NEVER unlock the phone. Kept giving me an internal error. Maybe because the extracting of lokiwiz automatically would open the program when i downloaded in mozilla firefox? is this IE use only maybe?
So anyhow i thot shell tool would be best to use since i couldnt unlock it. Guesss not.
I wish one of you guys lived right down the street so we could do this together or maybe i just call one of you geniouses

hmmmm, thats the mistake.After downgrading to ipl/spl 1.xx after flashing button's 1.05,you shud have first sim/cid unlocked the phone and then flashed t-mobile 2,26 to upgrade to ipl/spl 2.xx.Then shud have upgraded to any wm6 roms,upgrading to ipl/spl 3.08 is not at all necessary for upgrading to wm6,but an option,where as,ipl/spl 2.xx is only required for wm6 upgrading.
You,instead,of getting your phone sim/cid unlocked,flashed and upgraded to 3.08,but to sim/cid unlock,its required to have 1.xx,now it won't downgrade to 1.xx with button's rom.Its very commonly observed that after upgrading to 3.08 without getting the phone sim/cid unlocked,it becomes a pain in a** to downgrade to 1.xx and unlock.Now its a catch22 situation,where it doesn't downgrade to 1.xx for unlocking and nor accepting any other rom flash,its stuck at splash screen at 3.08.
Now,the only solution is to get the phone back to its default status.Try to flash either official stock rom,button's rom,if button's don't work,try the xda_minis_launch rom or the wizard_love_rom in the bootloaders mode.You got to keep your patience and it might take several flashes with either of these roms to get through.
Good luck !!!
thank you, im going to attempt all this now, ill keep everyone posted!
ok heres the scoop...
ive tried the tmobile official rom 2.26 upgrade and the xda_minis_launch rom and the wizard_love_rom (Love rom seems to be in a foreign language and gives a error 300) in the bootloaders mode and every time it will refuse to read the usb and gives me either a 264 or 296 error with these roms. Not sure why the phone says its not connected for the above roms but will read buttons rom still saying its not connected
The only rom that seems to read for whatever reason is buttons rom and i have flashed it 5 times at least now and always tells me it works but then gets stuck in bootloader with a glass of beer and the same ipl-1.01 spl- 3.08 gsm- 01.12.10 os- 1.5.4.2
so i dont know what to do!! there must be someway to get this thing to work!
Yes ! I understand it sometimes becomes very annoying and frustrating,but you got to keep cool. believe me and I can assure you there's nothing wrong with your phone as long as it can get into bootloaders.It's just that the bootloaders have got corrupted and stuck on spl 3.08,its only spl 3.08 which is creating all the problem,untill and unless it doesn't downgrade to either spl 1.xx or 2.xx,it'll not be possible to flash any other rom.now the only way to get the bootloaders corrected is to flash any official rom to bring both ipl/spl to 1.xx or 2.xx.
ok,when you get the phone in bootloaders and connect the phone via usb,does a small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloaders screen ? forget about the activesync for a while,cuz activesync doesn't work or get connected in bootloaders.The only way to verify if the phone has established connectivity with the pc is to verify if usb appears in the bootloaders.Rather I'll suggest you to delete the partnership with pc in activesync and uncheck the option 'allow usb connections' in the Async.If its verified that usb appears and has connection in bootloaders then you are good to go and run RUU,but if there's a problem and it doesn't show in bootloaders then your usb is not establishing proper connection.In that case,either the usb cable is faulty or the mini usb port of the phone is damaged.Check and verify this.
Secondly,lets try to flash the Rom with replaced RUU like 'RomUpdateUtility_wizard_Noid', or 'newromupdateutility_wizard_noid' or 'Ruu_Mun',you can find them in the forum.Either copy and replace it with ruu in the rom or copy and past 'nk_nbf' in the rom to the folder of these RUU and try to flash in the bootloaders,but first confirm the connectivity of the phone via usb as explained above. Hope this might do the trick,lets hope so!!!
Cheers!

ok,was your phone CID unlocked when you did back up with sdcard using 'Mtty' program ? cuz its not possible to go through recovering back by this method if the phone is CID locked,the rom will not back up to sdcard,it'll give error.Here his phone is still Cid locked and he has upgraded to 3.08,now it won't let him downgrade to ipl/spl 1.xx to use lokiwiz02b and SIM/CID unlock his phone.
Cheers!
ok here is the problem im having now. ANY ROM i attempt to flash to in bootloaders mode or 3 colored screen WILL NOT WORK! it gives me a 264 error on any of them besides button rom. I have tried several times to upload tmobiles official rom and it tells me i have to get a newer nbf file!
I pop the battery out and wait a few seconds and then hold camera button and power, (now in bootloaders) i then plug in usb and the USB letters do show on the bottom left hand side. I also disabled allow usb connection on active sync.
i wish i understood why no other rom except buttons will flash? even muns ruu wont work, it gives me a 300 error invalid update tool!
