Hi,
I used to upgrade roms all the time on my 8125 and never had a problem - until a couple of days ago. I tried installed the wm6 "most beautfiul" rom on my ppc and it bricked my phone. After many attempts I finally realized that I needed to install the official cingular 225 rom (available on the site) in order to get my phone to work. Since then I have tried downgrading to button and to wizard love with no success. My ultimate goal is to get to WM6. I have tried unlocking and have read all the threads and followed the directions but I cant switch roms. Can someone please help me with this. I am getting desperate.
thanks

do you have a G3 or G4?
What are your IPL/SPL?
Which other ROMs have you had installed on this wizard?

So, you start a new thread with the same problem you posted in another thread hoping to get an answer??
My answer to you is the same one I posted to you before --
READ THE STICKY ABOUT UNLOCKING AND FOLLOW IT STEP BY STEP!!
Then -- and ONLY then -- will you be able to flash to a custom ROM.

Yep, I've replied to ecomajor's various posts in various threads and have basically given up. Very little info each time and having a problem that nobody else that has followed the steps has had.
Sorry ecomajor, don't know what else to tell you that hasn't already been said numerous times.
One Last Try -- Then, I Give UP!!
Read the following post on how to flash ANY Wizard (yes, that includes the 8125) --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1177659&postcount=1
Now, follow the directions in that post WORD FOR WORD and STEP BY STEP. The only reason it wouldn't work is that you're NOT READING and/or NOT FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP.
If you CAN'T read and follow directions, then don't be trying to flash different ROMs to your phone. If you're not willing to do what's necessary to help yourself, then noone else is willing to help you, either. . . especially when your problem has already been replied to with the same information over and over in 2 DIFFERENT THREADS now.
Let me detail you the exact steps I have taken. I have read through those posts, many times so I am certain I took those steps
1)device starts normally goto step 3.6 since unsure if unlocked.
2) read farias thread
3) download buttons rom
4)attempt to downgrade rom - failed
4a)tried 1.08 rom instead of button - failed
4b)tried wizard love- failed
5)download lokiwiz
6)followed all directions -failed - since was not able to downgrade rom.
Obviously these directions are not 100% foolproof - I know that the first time I tried installing WM6, I did not read through all the threads and after much effort I discovered that if I installed the official cingular 225 rom then I could get my ppc back working but since then I have had no luck getting flashing to work. Please tell me what I am doing wrong because noone has had my exact situation. there is no need to act all holier than thou and accuse me of not reading because since I screwed up the first time I have read through all these threads numerous times.
Ok, one more thing to try (shot in the dark, but I have no clue what is happening here)...
On your PC (its running XP, right???), do you have Firewall and/or Antivirus? If so, reboot your pc and don't start anything and then turn off your Antivirus and Firewall programs (I found a couple of threads where people were getting the error 260 when ZoneAlarm is active). Now try flashing the button rom. Don't try doing any other roms, don't try doing lokiwiz, just try to get the button rom on. If that works, then continue on with the steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
You might even try booting your computer into safemode and try flashing that way (I doubt activesync would be there, so put the phone in bootloader mode, and if you see USB above the left softkey then you should be able to flash it this way from safemode. Never tried it, but it pretty much eliminates anything that may be on your PC thats causing problems).
If none of that works, then get back to an official stock rom again and report back here with exactly what you did, what you saw, and all. Don't worry about the post being long, because to me, too much info is better than just short posts that don't tell us anything. Also, only update this thread. Forget all the other threads you have stuff going on about this problem.
Final question, I asked this before (and I don't remember if you answered or not)... Have you tried to flash your device from another PC?
And I've attached the ROM Update Utility Readme.doc that describes the error messages and how to fix them.
The weird thing is I never get code 260 with the cingular rom update just with the other roms. I will have to try the disabling all firewalls, antivirus etc at home bc at work there is all sorts of stuff i dont want to mess with. Problem if I do it in safemode is then the activesync driver wont be loaded and it will give me an error for that.

I've never tried it in safemode so I don't know if that will work or not, it was just an idea as we are grasping at straws here. But if you boot to safemode, and with the phone at the bootloader screen (hold down the camera button while you turn it on to get to the "rainbow" bootloader screen), if it shows USB above the left softkey then the computer and phone are communicating and Activesync does not matter. BTW:You can try the safemode way there at work as you will have no network connectivity in safemode so you don't have to worry about violating security policies.
You still have not answered my one question directly... Have you tried flashing the button rom to your phone on multiple computers? Or have you always done it from the same PC? And are the PC(s) that you are using running Windows XP?
What DOC chip does your device have? G3 or G4?
If you have a G4 then i guess you ruined your bootloader since G4 devices don't have and don't accept 1.xx IPL versions!!
I have tried button from multiple pcs. This time it gets up to 98% on button and then dies and it gives error 302 - update error for the button. This is a problem that I was having before.
Did you read the document I posted?? If you're getting Update Error 302, you're not going to be able to recover with anything other than the stock Cingular ROM.
Chances are that you did indeed ruin the bootloader when you tried using the ShellTool to flash a G3 phone. And I doubt seriously that you'll be able to do a warranty exchange if you can run the stock ROM successfully, so I'm afraid you're stuck now with the stock-shipped ROM.
So you are saying there is no way to fix the bootloader (like flashing it or soething) I was figuring I had screwed something up. I actually had read the document before but thanks for your help. Why is it that you can fix many other issues with the 8125 but not the bootloader?
I'm not saying it CAN'T be done. What I AM saying is that in the year I've been registered and active here, I've not seen any posts/threads about recovering from a bad bootloader. But that doesn't mean that there ISN'T a way to do it.
You might want to do a search of the Wizard section for bootloader error or recovering bootloader to see what might come up.
Good Luck!!
Hi Guys
I have tried allllllll the Different Hard SPL’s available for download – All of them give me the same communication error after attempting the install. Hard SPL starts normally… my phone goes into boot loader mode…..then active sync kicks out (un syncs) for some bizarre reason. I have tried it on different pc’s too with the same result. Could it be that the “South African Tytn agents or dealers installed something that prevents someone from installing different ROM’s on to the phone? I don’t think so. Anyone with ideas / suggestions…please help
Please don't double post. It is against Forum Rules.
I have answered your questions in another thread.
Thanks
Dave
Hi, I have been reading this forum for some weeks and I am thinking of unlocking my Touch 3G by using this Hard-SPL thing which is available here.
However I am still hesitating because I have never done such an "intervention" in the past, so please allow me to ask you if you did it and if yes if it worked without problems (from the thread I wasn't able to understand if more that 2-3 people have really succedded!)
Thanks, lila
I actually tried few times yesterday and today, but I am getting "Server is down" message .
i manage to solve it. how? i have exit my antivirus, then, go to control panel/windows firewall and put it on off, and will work. each time, i have install enablerapi.cab on device memory.
I disabled firewalls and antivirus software. I tried on three different computers with different (working) access to internet. Still no joy . I guess I will try later.
I've unlocked my Jade without any problem, but to be honest i didn't flash another ROM yet because i want to be sure i can go back to original one (just in case of waranty), and i don't know how to rebuild my dumped original ROM.
I'm still trying to figure this out, gonna succeed as long as i keep reading this excellent forum.
Anyhow, flashing a new ROM isn't that difficult, but you have to follow the guidelines very well and keep on your reading glasses..)
Hi. I am very happy Thank you OLINEX. I have HTC 3G (Jade 100) I make HARD SPL and I install http://rapidshare.com/files/15981107...30.09_Ship.exe
rom. It is very good rom and stable. Now I have english language and my phone rings best. Thank you OLINEX.

i did it with the first attempt with v3, no problem and i'm really happy
Hard-SPL
With hard-spl you will not unlock your jade . It´s only necesary to upload others roms to device.

Thank you
no luck with the one i tried, just restarts. dont know why this phone is so special, every other one ive done is so easy.
stock loader version is 1.40.707.2 tried using windows xp sp3 .net3.5, tried using hardspl v2 and v3 (tried v2 just in case that worked)
the link is dead!!
lots of problem, the HardSPL from Oli doesnt work, but the radio update from HTC works
keep trying and win
SPL does work. But you must keep trying. I got "server down"
and so on. After a week and hundred times try, I got unlocked the phone.
Now I can enjoy any wm6.5 roms. It is free software and not perfect.
But It does the job . well done Olipro and Cmonex.
Which phone do I have ?
My phone is supposed to be a Touch 3G but the processor is a Marvell PXA310 @ 624 MHZ.
The phone says it's a T3238, can someone tell me which phone I have please?
It's a clone I think.
When I boot holding the volume key I get a white screen saying USB update model
Hi,
I have a TOUCH 3G and I did the HARD-SPL. The better thing in here is that developers and always available to help you. For example, i had some problems doing hard-spl to my Jade but with the help of cmonex(developer) i've done it without any problems. You have a lot of support in here. SO, If I were you, I would do it.
it works like a charm
hi
Yes i did my HSPL today and it worked like a charm it was so easy and
i had a gene(P3400i) and the HSPL for this phone was so difficult
compare to the HSPL for Jade
the Jade HSPL took only around 10-15 mins
now i need to flash some cooked rom will do it today right now downloading ironegles ROM
Note : u need to off ur Firewall or it wont work OK
Hi guys,
I am asking if there is anyone kind enough to help me with my kaiser...?
the issue is the following, the first week wm 6.1 was released I upgraded my kaiser with no problem until last weekend.
last weekend navigating through your forum I decided to install TF3D and a hardSPL was recomended, I downloaded the file SJ_JumpSPL1.93-KAIS and run it on my kaiser. I believe the process got stuck on the 3 color display, I rebooted the kaiser and it seemed ok... but I am not able to navigate the web neither by GPRS or 3G...
this morning I tried to reinstall the kaiser from scratch with a RUU named _HTC TyTN II_RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_Brightpoint_US_3.29.422.1_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.70.18.02_Ship
which I downloaded from the HTC website but an error didn't allow it to be complete: ERROR 294: INVALID VENDER ID
HDa3-KBKV5867-HUEbc572-KBKV55670
my goal is to update my kaiser to the look as the TF3D or the amine 2.0 or the Hiperdragon.
I ask anyone of you gentleman to URGENTLY help me fixing my kaiser as this my office tool...

Why do people continue to screw up their phones by not reading, not understanding what they are doing, and doing things half the way. Are you all just rich and don't care about bricking a $500 dollar phone ? You are lucky you are able to recover your phone at all
Jumpspl is not hardspl . Jumpspl transitions your phone from stock spl to hardspl. You cannot flash any rom stock or custom ,that isn't specifically made for your carrier, until you have hardspl on your phone.
Read thoroughly and follow all the steps here, do not take short cuts and do not skip ahead,

Go to the wiki and find the original rom from your carrier and flash that ie: AT$T , T- Mobile, orange , 3 etc. Then after doing trhat try all the steps in the flashing for noobs thread again.
the only problem is that I bought the phone not from a carrier but from a store in Portugal and the phone was unlocked...
do you think I can still find the original ROM?
I couldnt find any suitable rom for my device I tried:
_HTC TyTN II_RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_Brightpoint_US_3.29.422.1_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.70.18.02_Ship

Hi to everyone.
It's the first time I write here (Got my X1i since last week), but I'm no novice. I've had several HTCs: S200, Touch XL, P3600, Diamond... And I have ever seen nothing like this happing to anyone.
I have a problem installing a ROM (This one: http://www.htcspain.com/roms-xperia...xperia-x1-r3a-m3d-y-ligth-espanol-t20108.html). And when I say I, I mean only I. Absolutely everyone else can install it normally, what I cannot get done on my device.
I have tried everything: Installing it with the RUU, with the MicroSD method(Through bootloader), installing it from two different PCs, installing it from both Windows XP and Vista... Making Soft resets and Hard Resets after and before installing it... Reinstalling the HardSPL... Everything I could think of.
But, whatever I do, it ALWAYS freezes after the SE initial logo. Always. I've waited for more than an hour (But, as I thought, is not the problem of the time it takes booting for the first time), but it definitely doesn't load.
Of course, if I get back to any other ROM, it loads as every ROM loads, no problems... So I really can't realize what's going wrong with my Xperia.
So now I'm asking for your help... Any ideas why it doesn't boot only in my device? What could it be?
Thanks to all who's read this .
It may be that your device is CID locked...I would hard spl it and try again....
