so i downloaded the wwe version found on the Molski.Biz site
it installed ok then after the count down to intalling the extended rom it start installing stuff then it restarts.... that was the end of my 9100 i tried to turn it back on so many times...
is there any way to fix this...
please some one respond
*sigh*
Which rom do you have in the first place.
Gotta, know more info to know if you really did brick your phone.
RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
It looks like you flashed the wrong Rom!
Do you have a G3 (IPL/SPL 1.xx or 2.xx) or a G4 (IPL/SPL 1.xx.001 or 2.xx.001) Wizard?
If you flashed a G3 Rom into a G4 Wizard or the other way around you bricked your Wizard.
Please provide me with as much info as you possibly can about your Wizard.
Regards,
Molski
i have the g4 i think with the 2.xx.001
oh boy....so is there a way to fix it?
tell me what u need to know
I flashed my G3 phone with the wwe rom yesterday. After the flash the phone booted fine, then installed some software and my contacts, did a soft reset and bam, phone would not boot. Every time it would freeze at the post screen. I tried about 30 times, then i did a hard reset with the top two side buttons and the soft re-set. The phone then booted and has been working fine since then.
just my experience

I dont know for sure if it can be fixed. Look around on this particular forum, there are a lot of topics with people with the same problem as you.
Molski
lol, gotta love it when people don't read the directions and warnings
Hi to all that can help me, i just flash the rom yesterday night that i have download and its completed the upgrade and go into the screen and running the installing of the program that come with the rom.

I have the same problem. IPL and SPL 2.15.00001 and tryed to downgrade but after restart it does not power on. Tried everything but no way to power on. Is somebody know how to make it work again.
Regards,
You guys tried to flash a G3 Rom on your G4 Wizard.
So your bootloader (IPL/SPL) that is 2.xx.0001 is overwritten by a G3 bootloader that is 2.xx, so in other words....your devices are bricked.
Please someone, correct me if I am wrong.
Molski
yup, I agree. Bricked hopefully someone can fine the JTag on these devices.
Wow that sucks! Full moon over Miami last night, naw that can't be it .....
Sorry but unfortunately I must follow my Grandmother's advice concerning when I don't have anything nice to say...
R there NO ALTERNATIVE WAY for THIS?? HOPE we can help those people that made a mistake by upgrading to a ROM that doesnt fit to their WIZARD. due maybe because of TOO XCITEMENT they forgot to CHECK FIRST(PLS! ALWAYS CHECK FIRST) their IPL/SPL.
HOPE those master GURU's can do something!
So, please someone tell clearly how to know G3 or G4 of the Wizard
thanks so much
Sorry but I have no more tolerance for people who just jump in first without doing a little research. A while back when the G4 first came out we didn't know. Now everyone who puts out a ROM warns people about the possible consequences. And there's so many threads on just the first page with tales of woe... how can a person miss them all??
I'm sorry but my parents raised me to take responsibility for my own actions, as Baretta used to say" Don't do the crime if you can't do the time"
Similar to when a Cat 4 hurricane is coming at you and you don't leave after being warned.... then blaiming everyone but yourself...
And if anyone wants to rebute me on this, don't bother as I've neither the time nor the patience.
Bottom line is that flashing phones has the very real possiblity of trashing an expensive piece of hardware in a very short period of time. If one has any doubts, then they shouldn't do it! And if a person doesn't have a concern initially then they're asking for trouble.
Sorry....

The problem is that if your bootloader (IPL/SPL) is fuc*ed up, there is no way to get it in bootloader mode to do a flash!
Only known solution is with JTAG connector, but that solution is not a clear solution yet, but I dont know nothing about that solution (simply...because I never needed it).

I knew I have a G4 and can't upgrade/downgrade with G3 roms or even change IPL/SPL, but I did that :]
Just found ROM v2.22.1 (I think), like my original Wizard's was. I was so happy that I found it, that I forgot about G3 chips existence 8)
Well, ROM was for G3 -_-
Just ran too fast and slipped. Maybe I got that speed after very often Pioneer BCT 1430 flashing. It is just immortal :]
well i know about the G3 and G4 but the rom that i downloaded from doesn't say anything about support G3 or G4 thats why i consider this rom doesn't included IPL and SPL just like the custom rom been make from other member.
Damn now i have to send my phone back to factory for fixing it. Lucky i still have a warranty of it.

I do feel for you. I believe that the best thing that we can do is to not even make G3 ROM's available to the general public. Maybe all new ROM releases should be IPL/SPL - less. If one needs a ROM that will upgrade their bootloader they'll have to request a password protected file.
I just dunno...

...which is one of the reasons why carriers make it so hard to flash a ROM from one carrier to the device of another.
Qtek 9100 half bricked
Hi Molski
I'm new here.Just 'd like to know if you could support me on this matter.
Here we go...
I've flashed my 9100 from wwe to esn (spanish) with the ROM 1.3.7.5 or something like this.
This is the problem...I got a power failure in the middle of the flashing process.So now the device isnt able to start up it didnt install the OS properly.
Now it says:
IPL 2.24 (i managed to flash the ipl n spl)
SPL 2.24
OS 1.3.7.5
But I'm pretty sure that there's no OS watsoever because after keep trying flashing with other ROM in bootload mode.I finally managed with an Orange of 34 mb it updated the ROM,that is the IPL And SPL and with the process was running I've noticed the screen got blank and updated it properly.I was realy happy when I saw it but even though it did it properly I still got the same problem.The pda doesnt start up.When I flashed it for the first time I did it with care,followed all the instructions,that is, unlocked the CID first etc.But had the damn joy of getting a power failure in the middle of it.
I'm just wondering if one of you would be able to gimme a light on it.I've tried everything but flashing it with a G4 ROM coz I know it wont work.
Regards

Molski[/QUOTE]
I have a CID unlocked wizard which has seen many roms, without any problems.
Lately I upgraded to IPL/SPL 3.08 and tried the touchflo rom.
Since it didnt work as expected, i presumed i needed to go back to the button rom before burning yet another rom.
Guess that was a mistake. I am now stuck on IPL 1.01 ! Whatever I do, cant get it to go to anything higher. Tried 2.26 IPL/SPL only, the full t-mobile version, the 3.08 again (which gives me spl 3.08 only this time), the german rom etc.
All that changes is the SPL. Tried installing enablerapi again, no result.
I can always get back to 1.01 IPL/SPL but THAT's IT ! NO other ROM works anymore!
What to do, what have i done....
You mean you can flash and work with Button ROM?
If so why not try to go from there to Qtek WWE 1.06, then 2.17 or 2.26?
tried flashing to 1.06 .. and got at 96% that the NBF was no good for my device.
However it changed the spl to 1.01.0000 instead of 1.01.
you should flash the buttom or love rom over and over again til you get both spl and ipl to 1.xx. people in the the threads have commented that sometimes it could take up to 8 flashes or more to eventually get it to work...dunno what causes it, but afterwards, flashing to a carrier rom should be fine...
good luck
Please read my first post.
I can get both IPL and SPL the same without a problem.
Both are 1.01 at that point.
I have been burning ROMs for a year now, so I know about this stuff already.
It must have something to do with going back from 3.08.
I have been on 3.08 both IPL and SPL dont forget!
At 1.01/1.01 IPL/SPL I still can not burn any ROM without error.
It wasnt like this before, have been on high numbers already.
after trying yet another operator ROM, gone back to IPL/SPL 1.01/Button ROM.
(shouldnt it say 1.05 btw?)
Button doesnt fully install anymore.. it gets stuck at about 98% after discobuttons.cab on the extended rom installation.
maybe that is a hint?
should i reinstall enableRAPI and cert_spcs before upgrading? my phone is cid unlocked for sure, and the service tool also says it is.
UPDATE: * installing xda mini..
* it got me 1.01 / 1.05
* reinstalling mini
* install also stops on signed discobuttons.sa.cab

It means you can take it as far as installing extended_rom? Why don't you soft-reset the phone when the message of the 3 seconds appear?
if you're just installing button rom as a step to higher roms why the extended_rom? Simply forget about it and install 2.xx
No roms worked anymore, so tried ipl/spl 2.26 together with the installer from button.. it gave me 2.26 on spl again. NO change still on IPL.
IPL seems pretty stuck on 1.01.
in case it helps, are you flashing on windows xp or windows vista?
Here, try this. It's IPL/SPL 1.05 only. I'm not sure if it will work but it's worth a try.
It gives me 1.01 / 1.05 ....
trying multiple times .. hold on
tried 10 times.. ipl 1.01 spl 1.05
giving it few more tries on button
oh windows xp professional 32bit ..
trying love, buttong all in a row again.. still on IPL 1.01 SPL 1.01.
I think i found a new way to brick a wizard, goto 3.08 and back to 1.01
However, I think the phone not fully installing the extended rom must be a hint, since it usually had no problems with this.
Now on love and button, it stops at discobuttons.
Hate to tell you this, but I'm out of ideas at the moment. If I think of something, I'll let you know though.
Just a quick thought though, did you try removing the battery for about a half hour or so and then trying it again?
will leave battery out all night and try again tomorrow.
apart from the 'not being able to fully install extended rom' another thing that is remarkable is that the wizard service tool says I don't have a Wizard, after that however the info is correct (wiza200, cid unlocked etc).
further most ROM installers now crash at about 95% with error 320 saying the NBF is not made for my device.
is there anyone that has succesfully been on ipl/spl 3.08, down to button and up to 3.08again?
something else, the bootscreen doesnt show a GSM ROM version anymore, is that normal on ipl 1.01, could it be that i need to downgrade to certain gsm version ?
^$%#$ i dont think i can get the t-mobile service department to fall for my bricked mda excuses for a second time.
was pretty proud i got them to fix it for free first time i bricked it.. but this is different hehe....
(in case you wonder: 24volts made them not discover the cid lock, just created a bigger problem for the phone so they gave me whole new pcb.. i said the powersuply caused it )
The person that I was helping on that other thread successfully got his from 3.08 down to 1.01 and then back again. It wasn't easy, but getting theirs back up was a walk in the park compared to yours. I seriously hope that leaving the battery out over night does the trick because I'm pretty much at a loss as to what else to do.
It not showing a gsm version shouldn't be a big deal. You said that your rom installers are shutting down at 95% so it just may not be installing the radio, but your wizard should still operate without it. You just wouldn't be able to do any phone related things like make calls etc. but everything else should still work.
Don't worry about the wizard service tool saying that it isn't a wizard, it says that when I run it on mine too.
Just a thought, and definitely not a suggestion since you mentioned the 24v thing, do you have insurance on it? Accidentally dropping it in the bathtub might help solve your problem, not that I would ever condone insurance fraud or anything like that. All you would be out would be whatever your deductible is, although if your deductible is like mine it still wouldn't be cheap. I'd still give a little more time before doing anything rash anyway.

good idea, but on the limit for this kind of thing for this phone as you can understand from the 24v issue
now at work, phone doing without battery all night... told him it is final warning, maybe taking his juice away will make him realise it is time to get to life
LOL Good idea. Tell it that if it doesn't decide to straighten up and start working you're going to run it over with your car. That ought to make it decide to work again'
So did it fix it?
oh man it got really angry with me.
on the wizardlove rom i had no radio @ all. but no charging or power info either!
you guessed it, been playing with wires and a 1.5v-12v powersupply set on 4.5v. Since it was doing it's paperweight imitation on me.
Got power back on 39%, going for a uuh 41% walk of my labrador.
Keep you posted.
Btw, extended rom in wst is unknown... is that any hint?
could protocol version be a hint?
next thing i try is flash another radio first, turn around the sequence.
Hmm, with the things that are hapening right now, no radio and the extended rom being unknown, I'm starting to think maybe the rom you're flashing has somehow become corrupted. You don't really need to worry about the ROM or the radio too much anyway, that shouldn't really have any bearing on whether you can get your IPL up or not. Try just flashing the 1.05 IPL/SPL update or the 2.26 update again and see if leaving the battery out for a while finally lets you upgrade it.
ok, im inbetween a newb and a full out destructive force to any type of moddable device and im having a little bit of trouble with my cingular 8125. ive had this phone for a few months and i am having the hardest time dealing with the rom on the phone now. ill give a quick breifing on it:
got it with original cingular rom, not sure what spl or ipl on it but the first thing i did was unlock it by myself, cid and sim unlocked, and then updated to a jaguar wm 6.1 rom which worked fine. decided i was going to unfortunately sell this phone so i decided to upgrade it one more time to see if i really wanted to sell it, i then bought the upgrade to go past my 2.21 ipl and spl. i got my unlocker and followed my instructions and got a brick. but not a full brick. its stuck in the bootloader screen. after reading countless threads, i learned that i should be able to just still update a rom to the phone with no problems which actually works, but as soon as a rom completes it goes right back to my bootloader screen so help me! please cuz now thats its a challenge again, i want the phone! plus all my info is on the phone still back up
Flash the official stock ROM first, then use Button's ROM to downgrade your IPL and SPL before unlocking CID.
post the present IPL/SPL it displays now.Which rom you are trying to flash now ?
ok when i try to put the most current 8125 rom on my phone (2.25.blah) it tells me that its not the same phone which is weird but thats preventing me from putting the original rom on the phone. however if i try and put the buton rom on the phone now, it will go through completely and say it put it on the phone, but when it restart, its right back to the bootload screen...
and im running IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21 with a previous installation of a jaguar rom, dont know exactly which one, but i know it was a jaguar rom. but right before i tried to upgrade the updater, i went back to my default WM5 rom so i guess it was te basic 2.21 rom on the phone with WM5

WEIRD !
You got mixed Bootloaders of G3 And G4,IPL 2.21.0001 is G4 and SPL 2.21 is G3,as you posted,well,can't say which was original,only you can tell,but some how its mixed Bootloaders,in this situation no Rom will flash,its a 'Brick'.
If as Zabardast says its bricked then you have three options:
1. Get a new Wizard
2. Get a new Wizard Motherboard
3. Get a Wizard with broken LCD from eBay and replace its LCD with your current one and Enjoy!!! (Cheapest)
lol this is tough! but no worries, ill be back with some other pda at some point and time and then ill try and take this phone apart! but the weird thing about my wizard is that this only happened when i tried to update the phone with the CID unlock program that you have to pay for!
lol it was perfectly fine until i tried to do it! oh well, back to my crappy p168!
May be that CID Unlock program was not meant to be for a G3 and you were updating a G3 so it mixed you IPL/SPL and caused a kinda BRICK. So please be careful before doing flashing things because if you dont be carefull then your PPC may become a heavy paper weight, and a costy one too. LOL. TC

Cingular 8125 problems
Ok guys i am really pissed i have been looking for three days and cant find it, first off my IPL is at 1.01 and the SPL is at 2.25 and i cant fix it i wanted to install the original 2.25 again and start from scratch but can not find the damn thing so if anyone has it can u just upload it fo me and give me a link that i can get it at please i am sick and tired of waitnin i really like this phone and i dont want to risk bricking it thanks.
Ok, grimgod, aggression is reaaaallly ugly and no freakin one will help with that sh!t attitude (pardon the language, mods). The senior members do everything they can to help the noobs. Have you tried reading the flashing guide, wiki, or tutorial? I'd bet even money you haven't. Have you CID unlocked? Did you flash the button rom twice ( as the guide suggested to get ipl/spl both 2.xx)? Did you flash the official tmo rom (found im the flashing guide)? Have you done anything other than sit on your hands and wait for it to be handed to you? READ AND SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831 <HERE!!!!!!!!!! Should I flash your device, too?
Similar issue... need some Wizard Expertise
I picked up a coworkers old Cingular 8125 that he'd had in a drawer for about a year. Battery was right dead so the phone wouldn't boot. I charged the battery on an external charger for a few minutes, put it back into the phone, and plugged it in to the charger until the LED went green indicating a full charge.
When I power up I see the T-Mobile splash screen (light gray background, some square dots, and the "T-Mobile" logo). And there it stays indefinitely.
Tried a hard reset (Comm Mgr + Voice Cmd + Soft Reset), and it said "Press Send to restore factory default". Pressed the green dialer key (I assume that's send), and it says Format FAT partition, FAT partition complete, and then returns to the same T-Mobile splash screen and hangs there.
So then I tried putting it into Boot Loader manually (Power On + Camera). No problem, shows IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26. Plug it into the computer USB port (running XP Pro), and then the USB connection shows on the phone. Attempted to flash the Wizard Love ROM to get this thing back to square-one. Error 260. Attempted to flash the T-Mobile stock ROM. Error 260.
Between each flash attempt, I'm pulling the battery out and starting fresh. I think I've followed all the steps I'm finding in multiple threads. But for some reason I'm not able to get this thing to communicate via USB. All RUU's give an Error 260. Am I missing something?
Forgot to mention I'm following the steps outlined in this thread from Dr P. To the letter!
Also did a little reading up on using the MTTY method in this thread by Drug_Store. Thought maybe the existing ROM might be intact, and I might be able get it to a 256MB MiniSD, then write the backup ROM from SD in boot loader. Well, for some reason I don't even see the USB connection option when I use the MTTY - can't ever get to a point where I can issue commands. Again, I think I'm following the instruction. But still no juice.
Nudge, nudge. I'd donate for a solution that works... otherwise I have to keep letting my 10 year old play The Quest on my phone.
Hi, I was trying to flash/upgrade my Wizard to WM6.1 (was able to do it once over the weekend). But got over-confident and was trying to do it second time (ofcourse use some other cooked rom) but during the upgrade, my kid pulled out the wire from the computer.
If that was not enough, in a panic mode, i actuall did a reset on the wizard. Now it wont even start (no lights light up nor I get the 3 color screen = bootloader.).
The time when my kid pulled up the USB cable, I was "upgrading" to 2.26 after having successully downgraded to 1.xx ..
I fear I have bricked my wizard...is there anything I can try before having to spend 40-50 buck and get to cell repair estimate? I tried hard-reset (Camera + Power On), (Green + Red button + Power), Communication Button + Voice Button + Power but nothing happens.....
Sorry but i guess your Wizard is a brick, the only solution is that you get a new motherboard or a new Wizard. Feel Sorry to say that but still dont go on my advice let some other senior member say something too. Maybe there is a way i dont know and anybody else does.
did you have a full battery?do you think your battery drained through the process?try charging the battery in some other way or try another battery...if that doesn't do the trick....you need a new motherboard.....
G3 phones are very stubborn devices,its very hard to 'Brick' it ! They don't get Bricked in this way ,unless you really do stupid thing and flash a Rom with G4 IPL/SPL.
Here,you have a dead battery,just try to charge it fully ,somehow, or borrow another battery from a friend,or if you prefer,buy a new one,as it comes with little charge to start and boot up the phone and even sometimes flash a rom.
Apart from this,I don't believe its Bricked,G3 doesn't get bricked like that,by being interrupted in the middle of flashing or resetting it.

What I believe he means he was upgrading to IPL/SPL 2.26 by flashing T-mobile,after downgrading to 1.xx by Button's Rom,while flashing,it got interrupted and in panic he reset the device,now can't power Up the device.
Well,interrupted during flash or resetting doesn't brick a phone.
secondly,Bootloaders IPL/SPL are automatically downgraded/upgraded by flashing a Rom with IPL/SPL when flashed.
Unless,as I posted above, if he has flashed G4 IPL/SPL or a G4 Rom with IPL/SPL,it wud certainly brick a G3 device.But as he said he was upgrading to 2.26,means,he was flashing T-mobile,so I believe,it cannot be bricked this way
OOOPS!
On second thought,did he mention its a G3,well,what if its a G4!!!
and he flashed Button's Rom............. GONER!
I assumed its a G3,coz he posted ipl/spl 1.xx and 2.26 and he already got it upgraded.
hi thanks for all the info.
Before the upgrade I verified it have more than 60% battery (arround 80%). I had got a new battery and charged it 100% overnight before i tried the first upgrade.
Its a G3 phone (It showed 2.2x a did not have following .000 which show for G4).
I had downgraded using the Button ROM and was upgrading the rom using WST write ROM.
So is there still a chance..
I can try and see if anyone's got a HTC Wizard within my friends/around and try to charge the battery in their phone....just to make sure its fully charged

I wonderfully and utterly stupidly did exactly that !!! I wrote a G4 rom on G3 Wizard !! It turned on once after the procedure and wm6 loaded all the "extras" and then re-booted... into complete darkness !! Now it's completely dead nothing turns on, not even the green charging light. I left it for a couple of months and the red light come on briefly... but that's all. Now it stops the papers from flying off my desk .... it's my funeral and I'll cry if I want to (
I honestly feel sry for it,but may I ask which was the rom which you say is G4,which you flashed ? coz all official roms are suitable to flash to both devices and custom build roms do not contain IPL/SPL in them,which cud harm any device,its really questionable as which was this rom which bricked a G3 phone,if you are sure your phone is a G3. YES! its certain that if a G4 phone is flashed with a G3 specific rom,it'll get bricked,was your G3 or G4 ?

I confirm my Wizard is a G3 device and the rom I accidentally wrote over it was a G4 rom (I since deleted it from my computer to ensure I would not repeat the mistake) ....
So, there are G4 specific ROMs floating around out there? Now that doesnt make a whole lotta sense. I thought that all carrier ROMs where G3 (and to an extent G4 safe), and that all cooked ROMs where G3 and G4 safe because they dont contain IPL/SPL?

After G4 came out, the providers started releasing ROM packages with two bootloaders and a new RUU that would detect the device DOC generation and flash accordingly. If you extract an 'official' ROM you'll find IPL_1, SPL_1, IPL_2, SPL_2, etc... which means G3 and G4 respectively and therefore safe to flash to any Wizard in the market (minding the CID status of course)
As for G4 only roms i believe that might be a few around that were cooked in a time when the "G4 safe" concept wasn't yet implemented and when one would flash a complete ROM and upgrade IPL/SPL at the same time.
Nowadays, since Wizard official development has ended, almost everyone has a 'high' bootloader and only needs to change the OS version/flavor thus the absence of IPL/SPL in a released cooked ROM
Hope it's clear
cheers

Does your wizard starts? YES- it can enter to bootloader? Yes - its not bricked...
Does your wizard starts? NO- Maybe a dead battery... Does your wizard shut off and conected to the wall charger shows a Led RED? this two are......

Hahahaha "A silence minute for it's soul please"
Father, embrace with your arms this soul of a dead wizard and let it rest in peace in the Pocket Heaven Amen.
More Respect please HAHAHAHA
what a funny men!!!!
I bricked my phone too!
Hi there! I think I have the same problem. My phone is a G4 and it won't boot to bootloader mode nor charge in a wall charger. I had my phone unloacked and during the process, my phone shut down. Now it's dead. Is there a go around for this problem? Thanks.
Hey Guys,
I've got a similar thing, think I might have flashed a G4 file to a G3 Wizard.
I have, by following through the "Let's Revive A Wizard" thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=274766) been able to get the thing to boot into the bootloader screen and show IPL 1.05 : SPL 2.26.clip I think from memory and then flashed the 02 ROM but then it just boots back to the bootloader.
I also tried an SD backup from my other G3 and followed that through but nothing.
I think there is a way to revive using the methods shown, but there appears to be no more help relating to it and I'm out of ideas myself.
If anyone has a IPL & SPL file for 2.26 can they post it for me to try.
Thanks.
Ian
