Help installing Original ROM after Upgrading to Custom

Hi
I tried upgrading to the rom below
Custom_RUU_Wizard_1050402_101_11210_O2_ENG_CID.exe
but it made my imate totally sluggish and really slow, especially when opening mesages etc. I decided I wanted to revert back to the original imate ROM but when I was installing it it failed before even getting to 1%
It stayed at the point where my k-jam was red blue green etc
Anyone suggest why this might be the case?
Also can someone explain what the CID unlocker is used for? Does it allow you to 'downgrade' ROMs?
Thanks for your help guys. I'm still quite new to this

CID unlockeris is needed to be able load roms that are not made for your phone... like MDA Vario without CID unlocker cant take rom that was made for Qtec and other way...
try RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
its the best rom for me... make sure you run CID unlocker first and after WM5 loaded hit reset on your phone so it wont load cabs from extended rom (if you dont want them)

URGENT!! Wizard WM6 upgrade stuck at 96%

Anyone please help!..
i tried to upgrade my G3 Wizard to Crossbow Underground and it stuck at 96%!..
What should i do? please help.

Yes -- the install will "hang" at 96% for 2 - 3 minutes. But then, it will complete the process pretty quickly.
My advice for ANYONE flashing ANY ROM is to leave the room for about 15 minutes while it's upgrading. Those 10 minutes can seem like an eternity -- especially the 2 - 3 minutes where the install process appears to "hang". DO NOT disconnect the device during the update.

so? this is normal huh? even thought im not CID Unlocked? becouse i didnt check whether my wizard is unlock or lock..
im still stuck 96% for 30mins.. what took this so long?

Ok its done..
but men!.. its still WM5.. now i know that my wizard is CID locked..
Thanks!

I'd say you have a LOT of reading to do to answer that question. . .
Start with the Wiki and the Stickys at the top of this forum. . . both are chock full of useful information -- yours for the taking

Who knows, you didn't tell anything useful about your phone or what ROMs or anything else. Try the link in my sig. Read it, do ALL the steps, if you think you can skip something--don't, if "it doesn't work"--then you didn't follow all the steps.
Best of luck,

I think this may be part of the problem... How long did you wait? All roms stall at some point and can stall for like 5 mins (sometimes more). Don't do ANYTHING, unless your PC gets an error. Its still working. If it sits for more than 10 mins then you probably do have a problem, but it can sit for what seems like forever sometimes. Just be patient.

If it sits for more than 10 mins then you probably do have a problem

This is an error that you can get on G4 devices. What are you doing in step G3.4? Read G4.6!

but in the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
is described how to determine the wizard type and my ipl/spl is 2.21 and thats G3 device.

That error indicates you aren't CID Unlocked. Is your phone booting now? or are you at the bootloader (rainbow) screen? If you are at the bootloader, then flash your official rom to get a working device. Once you have a working device, then go to step G3.6 and do the CID Unlock procedure.
ALso remove your SD card while you are doing all of this until you get it CID Unlocked and onto the TMobile 2.26 official rom (G3.8).
AND yes, you have a G3, so you don't (and shouldn't) be in the G4.x steps.

This is my last post for the day as I can't handle anymore of this (its not just you peran, but the other half dozen posts I've read in the last hour or so where people just aren't following the instructions they are given. These methods are tried and true, and they work. And yes, this is the way to CID Unlock your phone unless you pay to have it done)... In a previous post to you, it was stated you had to get back to an official rom first. Have you done this (your replies indicate you just continue to do other roms)? You need to get the latest rom from your carrier and get your device working again. Get it all charged up, pull out your SD card, then try flashing back to the button rom (I would also suggest you try pulling the button rom down again in case there is something wrong with your previous download of it).
Its the weekend, I'm going to go enjoy the spring weather

i did it like u suggested mfrazzz. i know that my phone isnt CID unlocked. but that is my problem. i read the mentioned article x-times and did it like described but the problem is : when i downgrade to button 1.05 rom then my pda stuck at 98% and i get the message from the update program on my pc that the downgrade was successful. but it isn't. why? till this step u cant do much wrong i think... :-(

Have you flashed back to the official rom from your carrier? Until you do that and get your device back working there is no point in trying to continue to flash the button rom (or any other rom). You have to get back to your carrier's official rom first. None of your posts indicate you have done that.

i always went back to the official rom from my provider and this always works perfectly. i tried it today again but always the same stucking at 98%.
i did it STEP BY STEP but it didnt work.
is there another rom i can use than button 1.05 ?

Is there no other rom then the one from button to downgrade my ipl/spl to 1.xx ?
please help.

I'm not aware of another one.

I tried it but it didnt help.
now i used Xelecin's 1.08 rom and this one worked. then i used lokiwiz and it was successful. but then i flashed the tmobile 2.26 rom and this worked but i couldnt use my sim-card any more. always when i insert my pin it said unknown sim and then crashes. i thought i sim-unlocked the wizard? another problem was when i want to flash the official o2 rom it said unknown vendor id...but i used before lokiwiz and there were no errors...and the last question, i know there are many now, where do i insert the sim-code i got from lokiwiz?
i hope someone have some answers...thx before

is a 1.04.10 radio a valid radio for a 2.xx rom?
If you are stuck, the only/best way to recover is to flash an official rom from your carrier. You can get to the bootloader so you are NOT bricked. You are just flashing roms that have a CID that doesn't match your phones. Try the button rom or the wizard love rom that the unlocking stickies mention repeatedly.
Were your IPL/SPL 2.18 before you started?
Read the Wiki, Read the stickies. For every person that says the process doesn't work there are 100 that it works flawlessly for and 99% of the time those that can't get it to work don't follow all the steps in order or just outright skipped steps or substituted with what THEY thought was better. There is a reason for each and every step in the guides. IF you follow them properly you WILL NOT have any issues.
For the situation you are in now: STOP trying to flash custom roms, you MUST get your phone back to a usable state before you go down that path again. Use your carriers latest available rom to recover your device.
Also you are lucky to get an answer at all because your question is asked in almost every single new thread and every single ROM thread. The answers are already easily found if you take the time to look yourself.

thanks man, i tried the original orange rom and it worked.

so i followed step by step the guide from faria

Im sorry if im being rude, but you people do a wonderful job on those roms and step by step guide's but u forget that there are people that have no clue what aku2 means when i google is, it says a new rom from t-mobile with wm5 but it doenst say how somewone can check for themselfs if they have an aku2 rom...
Im verry sorry for those noob questions but it look like a heva the same rom that i had before i messed it all up.

You will not be able to install a CUSTOM rom until you CID unlock. I don't believe the Black 3.0 rom is available for the Wizard. It is a Hermes rom. There are several WM 6 roms available for the wizard, you should probably look in the WM6 sub-thread once you get yourself completely CID unlocked.
The tutorial tells you everything you need to know, even if you don't know anything about anything. Just read the instructions follow the links to download the roms/tools that it is talking about. If you don't understand the instructions you can post in that thread and the authors or others will help you there. Though they most likely will not respond until you show that you have read and at least have an idea of what you are trying to do, where you started where you are and where you would like to end up. If you don't understand the instructions there is always the IMEI unlockers site that will give you a utility to do it if you want to pay them for it.
Why are you trying to upgrade? Do you need to upgrade? Are you willing to void your warranty on your phone? Can you live without it if something drastic happens and you truly do brick your device, in most cases you will not be able to exchange your phone under warranty? If you haven't defined the first question or answered no to any or all of the other questions you shouldn't be rom flashing, especially not with unapproved roms that aren't supported by your carrier. You need to measure the potential gains against the risk of doing these things to determine if it is right for you. Once you get unlocked and flash a couple of roms you will see that it is easy and relatively safe as long as you read and follow the instructions they are tried and true and do work if they are followed properly.
I would suggest using this thread to unlock your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435

The Wizard Love rom is another that people use when the Button rom doesn't work for them. I don't have a link to it but I am sure it is linked in the Upgrading or G4 sub-forums. Maybe even in the Wiki. Sorry haven't been spending much time in the Wizard forums as I only flash my wizard when something breaks, or a new feature is added -- My wife uses that phone now .
There is always the pay to unlock website but you should be able to get it unlocked with either button or the wizard love rom.
Just out of curiosity how long do leave it sitting at 98% before you determine that it is stuck? All roms "stick" at a few points during the flashing process. If you didn't wait at least 5 minutes or get an error on your PC you probably didn't wait long enough. Best advice I have on this is disable all power management/screen savers on your PC set up the flash. Once it starts leave the room and close the door for no less than 30 minutes. This way you can be sure that you didn't interrupt it. For a Wizard the flash should complete in 10 minutes or less. For the Hermes it can take a full 30 minutes depending on your flashing method an which components you are flashing. It is normal to hang for a few minutes at different points during the flash process, just because there is no transfer doesn't mean something isn't being decompressed/written on the device from what has already been transferred over.

Strange thing happend to my Wizard

Hi guys!
Tried to flash the phone with WM6 rom via RUU - didnt work, so i took a ShellTool and tried with this one - and now its the best part:

OMG its telling OS 4.0.0.0 and wont boot so i took MrClean 2.24 rom pout the phone in bootloader mode with camera+reset and succesfully flashed it to MrClean.(now i think Im a god)
but after succesfull booting it satrted customizing and reset itself... from now on its copletely dead, no response

Is the phone CID unlocked?
Did you use an RUU from same provider?
If none of these answers is affirmative then you better forget that phone. Only recovering via JTAG (requires tools, knowledge (which you can't find here) and skills) or by getting a new board.
Last chance may be a flat battery; try a new one or charge that in another phone.
cheers

Suprising that a RUU didn't brick your phone (or probably it did).
Try charging the battery?

thx for replies guys
no my phone is not cid unlocked and as far as i know none get cid unlocked g4
i used ruu 2.5.2 from xda ftp, so as you said probably my phone is bricked...
thank god (or someone else) there are friends of mine owning same phone so i can try with other batteries
the strange thing is that not ruu bricked it, i think the post flash customization is faullty...
will keep you up to date

just to inform you:
after few days (weeks) of laying inactively on my desk i managed to try once again to resurrect my brick...
assuming the battery is empty i connected my WIZ to a charger and surprise! it lighted the red led for about a second... now i'll wait a few hours and see whats gonna happen
btw: anyone of you guys had something like that in the past?
