reset and hold the camera button,you will see a 3 color screen...connect to the PC it should say usb in the bottom of the device screen....now install the latest update from your carrier.
PS
for future reference if you device is ended CID unlocked you do not need to use shelltools...just use the update utility provided by the rom.
also this info has been posted 1 trilion times
..........
Its not that hard to look at the stickies (thats were the really important stuff is located).
Here's a great post for you to use:

thank you faria, bwesty and mfrazzz. I got to the bootloader screen and reflashed it with the latest tmobile rom. I'm sorry ive been asking so many questions, but i've been getting some mixed answers.
like someone told me (ill give the link to prove it) that flashing the latest tmobile rom will cid unlock your device. Im pretty sure thats not the case. And faria i did your latest rom and it got stuck at 99%, and i figure thats because it's not cid unlocked
i did search the forums mfrazzz and it came to no avail. You're right, if i looked really hard i could have found it somewhere, deep in a thread, but what do you expect from someone who just thought he bricked his $400 phone?
there should be a section for itself titled "I just broke my phone, how do i fix it" And inside that thread there should be every way to fix every situation. And i dont mean buried, i mean in the first post. Just a thought, it would have really helped and stopped me from bothering you guys
But as for now im going to go to the sheeltool thread and see if they can help me, i still can't get that to work.
thanks again

A really useful thread (besides the WIKI is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 it, by the way, is the very first item on the WM6 forum, this forum has Dr. P's EXCELLENT thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 plus other useful stickies) It seems that your phone is 'working' after flashing the TMo 2.26, the first thing you need to do is find out if you have a G3 or a G4, then CID unlock appropriately. Skip the shelltool stuff for now, if you don't understand what phone you have, you will be on the road to "brick city".

demontefixo thanks for the quick reply
but, i do know things about my phone, i just have little questions that no one really explains throughly. I know i have a g3, i know about cid unlocking and how to do it. I've into the registry on both my (ex) tmobile dash and now the mda. I'm currenty looking for the best new rom that i want to flash, but i can't void my warranty and that's why im using shell tools. I've been reading this forum for quite a while, and i don't consider myself a newbie (i cant control what other people think) but i do need help on certain areas, and im sorry for even needing that

CID unlocking (as far as I know) won't void your warrantee--at least it hasn't voided mine (TMo US), but YMMV. That said, it isn't a bad thing to ask for help, (cross posting is generally frowned on) we like to help people who aren't lazy or stupid.
When you do post for help, generally the more info provided the better, but I sense you know that. If your phone is a G3, I am not really sure why you are seeking help in the G4 forum....anyway.
IMHO, Faria's WM6 works really well, and I haven't had serious issues with it. There are others that love different ROMs or will cook their own, great! Nottoosmart has a good looking ROM (a Mun derivative ROM) everyone will have an opinion, I know what works well for me. So "what is the best"? Hmm Faria's WM6 (for me).

While keeping your phone CID Locked does keep you from voiding your warranty in that respect, flashing a custom rom on your phone will technically void your warranty also (although unless do something nasty to it, you should be able to get it back to the official rom and with it still CID locked then you should be fine). Example: You flash the latest and greatest WM6 on your phone and then your USB connector breaks and your SD slot doesn't work. You now can't get back to WM5 so they will know if they look. Far fetched, but I'm just throwing it out that if you are really concerned about your warranty, flashing custom roms may not be a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you not to do it, I'm just saying that doing pretty much anything in the upgrading and WM6 forums here is basically voiding your warranty. But I think in most cases, the carriers don't look that close.
And please ask for assistance when you have issues. There are so many posts though, its hard to tell who has really read and who hasn't sometimes. Just remember that the stickies at the top of the forums are your friends and there is really good info there to help you get unstuck (most of the time).
i love you guys
Hey im new to these forums and just need help unlocking my Cingualr 8125 or put a different Rom liek the xda windows mobile 6.0. Im folowing the steps but like when i open "ROMupdateutility.exe" I follow the steps and when it starts my 8125 goes to like bootmode? It has 3 colors on the screen
red greedn and blue and then on the ROMUPDate utlity i got error 300...i tryed like so many times i need help thnx =[
EDIT : the error says error 300 invalid update tool.... "This error message will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to upgrade. Please make sure you use the correct RUU version to upgrade." where do i get the correct RUU then?...
Also found out that its a G4 because of the Ip number or w/e because it has 3 zeros then a 1 for example .0001
[Help] Unlocking Cingular 8125
Hey im new to these forums and i need help unlocking my Cingular 8125
From what ive seen on these forums my phone is G4 Because it has xxx1 at the end of the ip or w/e that **** is. I would gladly appreciate it if someone would help me unlock my G4.One of my friends has his unlocked it looks like Vista and it has all these sweet programs. Since i just got mine its g4 I guess..and since he got him like 2 months bevfore me maybe his was g3 so it was easy...

Noob, i already checked that one. Its stickied why wouldnt i not check it before posting this thread?
The link's on that Thread are dead. They dont work anymore ***. Lol
Can't we all just get along? Let's keep things nice-nice, okay?
Anyhow, chaos36 it's really important to read up on this site before posting. All the answers are readily available (with some time and patience).
Here's a quick guideline ...
1. Your first stop should be here (the wiki)
All the information and links to get the most out of your device
2. How to SIM unlock your phone, look here.
3. How to flash any ROM other than your carrier's, here
4. Enjoy!
But just a bit of friendly advice for you in the future. Read and search all you can, then if you can't find what you're looking for, read and search some more before posting.
This site is a great place for developers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts. It's not a "helpdesk". But as long as you help yourself first, you'll find a lot of great (nice) people that will help you along your way.
Good luck and have fun!

Alright, this is a good example (one that we've all seen over and over again here) of how not to jump into flashing your phone without reading everything thoroughly.
Stay in the bootloader screen, keep your USB cord plugged in and reflash your original carrier's ROM. That will get you back to factory specs.
Then, don't try flashing anything else UNTIL you read everything I mentioned in the previous post first, at least a couple times through.
Just some advice

Well, glad to help. To reflash your original carriers ROM, you need to download it from their website and execute it.
Ok i got a cingular 8125. So to download it i go to Cingualr.com?...Sorry for being so noob and do you got AIm will be much easier for you to help me there ty.
I'm actually about to hit the sack. But you can get the Cingular ROM here. Just download and install it and you'll be good.
Good luck!
Wow you gave me a direct link. Thank you for all your help! Do you got AIM incase i cant figure out how to do this? maybe u can help me out tomorrow thnx for all your time and help.
Taurus pretty much held your hand and walked you thru it. You should be fine after this point. And if some of the links arent working, just let some of the mods now and they will take care of all that stuff. So good luck with the flashing.

damn - there is a wiki
there is a Noobguide....
there is a thread called "How to flash HRAD-SPL....
and 1000 threadds more with INFORMATION!!!!
Please read and then ask.
Because when you don´t even know how to find out what Hard-SPL is then stay away from flashing. Because it is dangorous and could brick your device!!!
Thanks...
.... if you don´t like my answer - report my post to one of the moderators!
Quite frankly, since I have success flashing via USPL/nbh method, I doubt I'll ever even think about the hard-spl way of life, simply because I really don't want to fark anything up and brick me tele-phono.
And he's right. If you aren't able to figure out on your own something that's explained about 100 times, you need to keep reading before you consider trying to hard spl your device, or even flash a new rom.

you could add "HARD-SPL and USPL" to your signiture then he does not ahve to search...hahaha
I was a newbie till about a month a go and have learned tons of information from this site. These guys are right. The information is right there you just have to search for it.
I have watch videos...read instruction etc, etc, all I could on ATT Tilt/Kaiser flashing...I still don't have a clue. Do I do some type of CID unlock 1st....then is there a Jump SPL and than a Hard SPL. Is any of them two done from the boot loader screen. I can fix most electronics but I don't understand.. no you-tube video...i saw it on flashing the kaiser....sound quality bad for the hard of hearing (me).
Goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
Download Jump SPL and Run it. Then the hard-spl. This will then allow you to flash the custom ROMs on your Kaiser.
Regards,
Carty..
I just went through this a few days ago trying to flash my first custom rom. I have to agree it is incredibly confusing and contradicting, which is why I'm taking the time to post this. Just read as much as you can about it and don't try to flash the rom until you understand. I am no expert on this by any means, but this is what i did on my tilt to flash HardSPL. I tried to make this as simple as possible just so you see the exact steps I went through, but i highly recommend reading the thread linked in the previous post by Carty above and the other link I'm posting at the very end.
1. download JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061.
2. get the hardSPL version you need for your rom. I used v3.56 from the link Carty gave you in the post above, because the rom I am using was based on the official att 6.1 rom. You may need a different one for the rom you want to flash I don't know too much about this yet. Leave the folder where you unzipped the hardspl files open on your desktop so you wont have to look for it later.
3. connect your phone to the PC, and transfer JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe over to your phone with activesync. Remove your microsd card if you have one on your phone (very important).
4.run JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe on your phone, it should go to a bootloader mode with the tricolor screen and underneath it will say USB.
5.Unplug the phone from the PC, wait about 5-10 seconds and plug it back in. Activesync should NOT be able to recognize your phone. If it does, something went wrong so start over.
6. Finally you can run the KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the hardSPL folder on your pc desktop and follow the instructions. It will load the HardSPL on your phone.
7. if you want to make sure it loaded, shut down your device and when your are turning it on press both the power and camera button at the same time, it will go into bootloader mode and show you what SPL is on your device. mine says SPL-3.56.Hard after I loaded the hardspl. You are now ready to flash a new rom.
This wiki helped me the most:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Read as much of it as you can, especially the "SPL questions?" link, that was the most useful for me.
I hope this helps
All good advice! I just loaded the HardSPL on my phone for the first time and it worked perfectly.
Now all i need is a work connection that doesnt block my attempts to download ROM's!!!!!!

Unfortunately this is the Kaiser forum and you will get even less help here.
Post your questions in the Diamond forum and people will help,when and if they are able. And in the meantime, read and search and try to figure it out for yourself, All the steps and instructions are there.
Sometimes people, unfortunately, mistake this site for the HTC free support line, with 12 techs waiting at their PC's to help. Then they get irritated that no one answers their requests for help on a timely basis . If people won't or can't answer your questions then you need to figure it out on your own.
The bottom line is, if you don't know what you are doing, then you shouldn't be messing around with your phone. Sorry

And what I said was that this was the Kaiser forums and not the Diamond forums. Putting Kaiser Spl's on a Diamond will brick your phone faster than throwing it into a bucket of water. So I gave him a link to the Diamond forum and Diamond Security/CID/Sim unlocker.
How is your question related to the Kaiser forums ?
Will it work on my TP/Excalibur? No as phones have different hardware to which is why h-spl's are device specific.
The best way to help yourself and not get a brick "expensive paperweight" is to head to device subforum and do some reading, as last thing you want is to be creating a thread named "Help"

done with downgrading it to 1.40.OilNex and Ive already launched customruu.
(btw, what does it do? cuz I don't see any difference in my pda, eh. I mean customruu)
I've copied 'diamunlock.exe' to anywhere in my device but I don't know how to open it.
