I've read the definitive guide and most of the relevant threads on unlocking a Cingular 8125. (sorry if I missed the one with the answer) But if anyone else has had this problem I'd really appreciate some help.
1. I have a Wizard G3 IPL=2.25 and SPL=2.25
2. used button 1.05 worked not a single glitch
3. boot Wizard and it says IPL = 1.01 and SPL =2.25
So I understand that its not fully unlocked. But active sync doesn't work any more. So, I put it in bootloader (3 colors) mode and try another 5 or 6 times. I reinstalled the Cingular 2.25 (that worked) and tried Button 1.05 again a couple more times.
I still get IPL = 1.01 and SPL =2.25
Any thoughts are appreciated.
I got it to work... Even if your IPL & SPL don't match after button 1.05, just run the lokiwiz. THEN run button 1.05 again (as per guide) and it worked. Thanks guys!

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?
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

Glade it's up and running
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.
OK all, I am new to this, I used the hard SPL-G4 to unlock (worked fine), then used rom update 2.5.2 to update my 8125 to SNN Diamond Edition WM 6.1 build 19209. When I boot, I get the spash screen then I get the three color screen and nothing...Did I just Brick this thing or am I missing a step here? Sorry for the stupidity...
Bryan
Phone booting into Bootloaders (tricolor screen) means its still working and not bricked.
Maybe the flash didn't go well and its a bad flash,try to flash again or it cud be that HardSPL cudn't get applied properly.What IPL/SPL it displays in Bootloaders ?
Shows IPL 2.21.001/SPL 2.25.001. Just hangs at the tri-color screen. With it in this mode how would I flash it again?

Is it ipl 2.21.001 or 2.21.0001 & spl 2.25.0001,note the 3 0's.
If there are only 2 0's then its a G4 device,you shudn't apply hardSPL but if there are 3 0's than HardSPL didn't get applied correctly,reflash the HardSPL.After the HardSPL the IPL shud look like 2.210001 & Spl 2.21 olip.
It is a G4 model
IPL 2.21.0001
and
SPL 2.25.0001
per the WIKI if I have the three '0' then it is a G4
Anyways, I tried conning via the usb to run the slftSPL but it cannot find the device. How do I proceed?
thanks.
hey guys and gals, my one friend gave me his k-jam to fix after he tried to flash it. I did follow the [READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 ) guide. I installed both the button and minis_Launchrom, both installed 100%, however it does not go past the boot screen.
IPL 1.05
SPL 2.26
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
Any advice will surely help me a lot and thank you in advance.

Hi: something similar happens in one wizard I got: trying to upgrade, the screen remains in the start:
ipl 1.01
spl 1.01
gsm 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
(the rom with the beer photo at the start)
after some minute restart and the same screen.
If you try the hardreset, it is quite impossible to press the "send" button, and if you succeed nothing happen. It appear the "HTC Innovation" screen and so on.
If you put it into bootloader and connect the usb cable, the usb signal appear on the screen, but trying to install another rom the program says there is no device connected.
Any help also for me?
