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.....
My original config:
ipl 1.08
spl 1.08
gsm 01.16.11
OS 1.8.11.1
I ran lokiwiz's CID-Unlock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474)
I used the instructions in shogunmark's Cingular 2.26 Aku2.3 w/a2dp FULLY LOADED thread with that RUU.
Now when I boot my 8125 it displays:
IPL 1.08
SPL 1.08
OS 2.26.10.2
It takes about 3 minutes from a cold start then freezes at the password screen.
What now?
If I boot into bootloader mode, how can I fix this?
flash with original cingular rom
http://america.htc.com/support/docs/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
possibly your 8125 is nit cid unlocked
that cingular rom shouldnot have any problem with flashing
good luck
I'm in bootloader mode. I opened the file from HTC that you recommended. Just before upgrading it states that my original version is <blank>.
Thanks for your help
itissat, your link fixed it. Thanks!
Now I have to decide if I want to try again...
cid unlock
be sure that you cid unlock it before flashing custom roms
if you read the instructions, you have to upgrade to an 2.xx Official Rom BEFORE you flash to one of the custom 2.26 roms... Just a reminder

As far as I know, I cid-unlocked. I use lokiwiz's newest release here. Now I did not do the SuperCID unlock only the regular unlock. Anyone care to explain what the supercid unlock is?
using typho5 we can see that latest Molski ROM still contain IPL/ SPL but Faria's ROM 3.0 dose not ! just OS, GSM, Splash and Extension
as far as i know the rom that not contain IPL & SPL can be installed in both G4 and G3 wisard ! can also be installed in CID Unlocked wizard
another thing i would understand !! changing the boot (spl/ipl) is dangerouse !so if we use any rom without IPL/SPL it would be better and safe !
so why we need to cid unlock the wizard ? and why change the boot ?

Well... the CID really hasn't anything to do with the ROM... CID, also known as vendor lock, is something that the manufacturer put in in order to prevent users from installing roms that aren't released by the manufaturers themselfs.
Second, older wizards come with an older bootloader and, naturally, there has been some improvements in the newer versions. Therefor one usually, when one has an older bootloader, have to install a rom provided by a vendor in order to upgrade it. And thereafter install a customized rom released by someone here on the board, assuming that you have CID unlocked your phone before of course
Hope that clarifies it...
ok just got my wizard back from HTC who repaired the screen for 180 dollars.
Instead of a "repair" they sent me a whole new cingular 8125. Now my rom says 2.25.11.1
Is this g3 or g4.. and which rom should I downgrade to before cid unlock
Congrats, you have a new baby ?? wizard?

Looks like a G4 What is the IPL/SPL when you boot?
hmmm
its 2.25. I think the rom they put on there is just a new rom from htc maybe. Instead of a repair of a broken screen they sent a whole new 8125 so it must be a g3 huh?

If the IPL/SPL is only 2.25 then it is a G3. If it was IPL/SPL 2.25.0001 then it would be a G4
ok i have another question you might be able to help me with. I am trying to cid unlock, downloaded the button rom but the spl is stuck at 2.25 and i have flashed about 10 times now, it wont go down, is there any other rom which i could use to downgrade then cid unlock

Try this rom to downgrade your SPL Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102
It should work and then you can continue with the CID unlock.

no you want to extract the zip/rar file to its own folder and then just run the RUU.exe file. It will do everything else for you.
Once you flash it, update me with your results.
wow ok this is really weird. i run the update utility which looks just like the button rom, and it has the same spl and everything! I have no clue what to do I cant get the spl from 2.25

Its the newest version of lokiwiz that should work on a 2.xx SPL and you shouldn't have to downgrade.
Once you run lokiwiz, then use Wizard Service tools to read the CID and make sure it is unlocked.
first im gonna try to dload that rom you just gave me again,. but do u think the loiki will work with ipl-1.05 and spl 2.25

WAIT! Your IPL was changed to 1.05? If it is, your ready to use lokiwiz. The SPL does not change with that rom because the rom isn't CID unlocked yet. LOL.
Go ahead and run lokiwiz and then use the wizard service tool from my last post to read the CID and make sure it is CID unlocked.
Update me with your results and I will help you with the whole process. I've been through it before so I know what needs to be done.
ipl-1.05
spl-2.25
i dont get why both those roms are 1.05
are you sure the spl is not supposed to be changed because ive had the WST and it tells me to downgrade SPL to CID unlock.
lokiwiz 0.3 a says WITHOUT cid unlock
Well what I am trying to do is upgrade to a WM6 Rom and you have to have a spl of 1.x to do this am I correct? and also it needs to be CID unlocked, which lokiwiz 0.3a does not do... am i stuck or what

Ok I see that you are confused.(No big deal TRUST ME...) I previously had a G4 and always used shelltools to flash roms and had no Idea what I was doing when I dove into this CID unlocking thing but here is step by step what you need to do.
1. Download button rom and flash to device and you will see IPL 1.05 and SPL of 2.25
2. Connect to device but do not sync. Just cancel when connecting and connect as guest.
3. Run Lokiwiz and first press U. This will SIM unlock your device and your device will soft-reset itself.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 only now press C instead of U. Lokiwiz will now CID unlock your device and it will soft-reset itself.
5. This time when activesync tries to connect to your device, syncronize it with your PC.
6. Install and run WST and and under CID options, click read CID. It will tell you in plain english if your device is still locked or CID unlocked.
7. If it tells you your device is CID unlocked, proceed to step 8, if not repeat steps 1-6.
8. If your device was successfully CID unlocked, download T-Mobile Official WM5 rom and flash it to your device. You will now have a strong 2.26 IPL/SPL.
9. Allow customization to finish and then the device will soft-reset itself.
10. Now flash the 3.08 IPL/SPL to your device for faster boot time.
Now your finished. Your device is now CID unlocked and has a strong IPL/SPL as a base to flash any WM6 rom you please.
Once you have done this, post results here so if it did not work, I can try to help you figure out what went wrong.

ok guys i f***** up my mda gets stuck at second splash screen the one that tells you ipl/spl and stuff
i was flashing a new rom using a prog called shelltool which i got from here as my device isnt cid unlocked i was using this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403096
dunno whats happened but now its stuck and cant seem to get it sorted here are some details
ipl 3.08
spl 3.08
gsm 02.69.11
os 2.18.0.0
i have tried using a rom update utility but doesnt work, please help
You can always flash back to your MDA stock ROM.
After flashing back, flash to Button's ROM to downgrade your IPL and SPL and unlock your CID. However due to your IPL and SPL is at 3.08, there is a possibility that you can downgrade IPL to 1.01, however SPL stays at 3.08. In that case, try unlock CID using Wizard Service Tool (Actually you can also use WST if both IPL and SPL version are 1.01).
Note: Never use ShellTool ever. There are methods now that use RUU to flash your favorite ROM, both for G3 and G4. You should use those methods instead.
the same thing happened to me when I was very hesitant on cid unlocking my 838 . I use shelltool in flashing and was successful but when i decided to give another shot on a different cooked rom, it certainly did its job on flashing but never got pass on the IPL SPL screen.
then I follow Dr. P's guide (CID unlocking) then I successfully resurrected my 838 and now I can flash whatever cooked rom I want (given that it is for a G3 device)
btw, after flashing my 838 with the buttons rom, I use WST instead of lokiwiz
HTHs
thanks
thanks for your help guys got it sorted and cid unlocked now
just need a really good rom now
and the hunting begins
good to hear that try to look for a rom that will suit your needs. There is a lot of good roms here, just try to search what best fit you.
like I did, i have flashed at least 5 different roms in just a months time
