kinda brick need to upgrade rom!

ok so i kinda f'ed up my phone..
the specs are
IPL:1.08
SPL:1.08
OS:1.8.11.1
and i decided to flash the radio rom 2.47.11 and now it freezes when i try to enter in my password at start up..i read that what i need to do is get it into bootloader and flash a 2.x rom on it but when i try to pres the reset button and the 2 buttons on the right side it just normally starts up..also how would i upgrade to a 2.x rom..or is there any way to downgrade back to the stock radio rom? also my phone is unlocked

keith
edit:
could i downlod the RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe rom and flash that onto my phone and have it work...still cant figure out how to get the bootloader screen to come up

yes after doing some more reading i realized i had to hold down the camera button and the start button until the bootloader came up..then i just pluged it in and ran the radio rom of 1.x and it worked yea!! mbe later i will try to upgrade the rom lol

CID unlock it while it is still working with your current ROM
IPL:1.08
SPL:1.08
OS:1.8.11.1
Then stick Molskis G3 ROM on it and you will be sorted.

for more info.

woudl i be able to go to htc.com and upgrade do the rom upgrade there without havin to cid unlock?

Yes, you can upgrade a Cing 8125 with the officially released Rom (as posted on HTC's Website) without CID unlocking your device.

i do not need to upgrade the IPL/SPL first since i have 1.08?

Official Rom Updates include the IPL/SPL. If you download and flash the Cingular 2.25 Rom you will have IPL/SPL 2.25 after the flash.

is that good or would i want to cid unlock my phone first?

Keith,
If you plan to install cooked Roms then you should CID unlock your phone. Technically CID Unlocking voids your warranty (though I had no problems getting warranty exchange on two previous phones that were CID unlocked).
The main reason to CID Unlock is that you can then install most (generally all) Roms that exist for your device. The only exception would be a G4 only Rom (which has the G4 IPL/SPL only) as your phone is a G3.
If you don't CID unlock then you can't install non-cingular Roms that include IPL/SPL so basically you would have to cook your own Rom if T-Mobile released an OS update that you wanted to use.
I would suggest you do some more reading before you CID unlock or flash anything else to your device.

ok bro thanks for the detailed explanation. I will.def do a lot more reading before I flash my phone or cid unlock it..this is a great forum full of useful information

2.25.11.1

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.

yea thanks thats acutally what i am doing right now I hope it works on 1st time and i dont have to do it 9 times

ok I have a question about this rom. do i put the RUU and ENTERBOOTLOADER onto the phone. how about the nbf file.

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.

Try using this version of lokiwiz instead. lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b

ok i get every single step on here except..
version 0.3a does not give me any unlock options in the DOS... i am going to try 0.2b right now

Back to the stock SPL? The only thing I can think off and it MAY NOT WORK OR BRICK YOUR DEVICE because I haven't tested it is using USPL to flash the stock RUU and hopefully that will overwrite the SPL.

From my understanding, the stock Tmo Wing RUU does have SPL and will over write it back to stock.

Except that the HardSPL is coded not to let another SPL overwrite it. Using USPL should overwrite this lock.

can't you strip the rom of the spl like on the wizard roms?

Yes. That will let you use any ROM, but if he wanted to go back to the stock SPL for warranty reasons, that would be the way to go, I would hope.

any one have USPL?

I'm sorry. Please restate your post. I didn't quite understand it.

I don't understand. You HAD the HARDSpl installed in your phone? You ran the stock RUU and it automatically wrote the HardSPL even though the HardSPL was purposely coded not to allow that?

SO you say when installing a official RUU WITH SPL.nbh - the HArd-SPL will be overwritten??
Please clarify your devicesttings.

i tried it again and i missed a step (my bad)
here are the steps that worked for me......
step 1 :run the uspl (in the botton link of these steps) but in step 3 of the uspl program the ruu isnt going to work..
step 2 : put ur phone in bootloader run the stock ruu and at 1% the phone is going to restart and get out of bootloader..
step 3:simply put it back into bootloader (without disconnecting it to your computer) and let the stock ruu run...after go thru the steps...the align the screen put a pasword ect.. let it update the windows (if u dont want it to update then just soft reset the phone before it starts) and then your done.

just thot i'd co-sign for unpapi_4u
verified: wing can go from hard-spl to stock spl via uspl
1. download uspl aka flash center and wing factory ruu
2. copy RUU_signed.nbh and SPL.nbh from wing factory ruu to flash center
3. run it
completed successfuly with no intervention, didnt have to put in boot loader
after flashing i checked (soft reset while holding camera button)
spl was 4.10.0000

Bootloader--Stuck
Hi,
After trying the above, I now get the bootloader screen... showing IPL 4.17.0001 and SPL 4.10.0000.. Try flashing it with
Stock--RUU_Herald_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.7.707.3_02.69.90_Ship_R.exe [Error 226 Flash Write] &
HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe [Invalid Vendor ID] & RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe [Invalid Vendor ID].
I also tried alot of the cooked rom v4.0/V4.4/OpenTouch 2.4/
HERALD.ASERG.23F.WM6.RUS.PS6.rar but also get error message as file corrupt [#270]
I had the hardSPL installed before this..Trying to got back to stock rom because I am selling the phone. Do you guys have any suggestion?
Which ROM can I use to make it work.
My phone is the Dopod C800
Thanks in advance..

AKU3 stuck

format is failed after a power outage in the middle of ugrading with shell tool.
made it worse bu trying to flash with tmobiles latest rom.
so now i'm stuck in boot screen with the following
Device is g3 with
IPL 3.08
SPL 3:08
GSM 02.69.11
OS 3.8.2.1
did i mention CID unlocked?
please advice

rephrase
Let me rephrase the question.
I have a friend who saw me use shell tool to upgrade my cid locked wizard.
He went home to try the same on his cid locked g3 wizard.
he had bad luck and it was interrupted mid way through so he brought me his dead wizard.(stuck on bootloader)
The only official rom i had was Tmobile's 3.08 so i flashed it to try and revive it.
it flashed and finished but still stuck on bootloader.
when i try and hard reset it says "format is failed".
button rom wont work, wizard love wont work, sd method wont work as it is cid locked.
Any ideas?
And if none, will imei-check work..

Get the official stock ROM for his Wizard, then flash it and you will get a working Wizard back.
However, if the IPL and SPL still stays at 3.08, there is possibility that IPL and SPL not downgradeable, so unlocking may not be possible.
Another thing...by CID unlocking the Wizard, there is no reason to use ShellTool while you can actually use RUU directly! Using ShellTool may lead to incomplete update!

Not yet home
Hey, the stock rom (tmobile 3.08) succesfully flashes but the wizard still doesnt boot. it gets stuck on the first screen.
Any more ideas?
BTW i'm very experimental so i'll try anything..

Hi,
Have you tried to flash the wizard with Hard-SPL or Soft-SPL.
I had the same with mine wizard (G4) but Hard-SPL worked for me.
You have a G3 so I don't no if it will work. Otherwise read this thread first post
Hope it will work.

Yes a G3 8125 Needs to be unlocked and you'll find all the guides on the forum there are no better guides than those coz they are written by professionals. TC

step 1 download this file rar password is - scousemartin
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
step 2 - flash the button love rom inside the rar file you just downloaded
step 3- run lokiwiz to unlock your device. Once that is done you can flash any rom, you can flash the at&t rom or the xda o2 rom i have included in the rar file ( the o2 rom was put in there as it was for my own use)
If you flash any official rom ,you will need to CID unlock it with lokiwiz ,the next time you try to flash it, as the official roms will CID lock the device again.

NOT TRUE! Once a device is CID unlocked it remains like that permanently!
Unlock tools write "11111111" to the CID location while RUUs never touch it. Only with WST you can write any CID value to the area again.

still no luck, ive disabled the windows firewall like one of the guides on here said, i had an active sync connection as guest, i downloaded that rar file and ran the button rom, and still i get the error 260. after i start the rom it crashes active sync i hear the disconnect sound, then the phone turns off and i have to do the recovery thing. i havent seen any weird colors either, i've heard ppl get a three color screen or something. but mine just turns on and i have to take the battery out and try all over again

Mods! plz check this out.

problem solved, i never realized that i still had my storage card in the phone, after i took it out everything went smooth
