Hi; I tried to unlock my G3 wizard and now I think I am very stupid.
First, I get CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe and upgrade wizard, on wizard was IPL 1.xx SPL 2.xx, GSM also anything, but OS nothing. Blank line. Then that booted to bootloader.
So I tried RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE.exe, it wrote IPL 2.26, SPL 2.26 and OS nothing. Then i tried t-mobile rom, but it didn't work, because "only upgrade".
I tried through CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe, so now I have IPL 1.01, SPL 2.26, GSM something, OS nothing (blank line) and I think I'm stupid.
Any ideas? Thank you...

Make sure that you have unlocked the device correctly. Read Dr. P's sticky:A Definitive Guide to Unlocking G3 Wizards and also the wiki.
I know that i haven't unlocked my wizard The problem was before that I started unlock... OS disappeared after first flash.

Reflash with the Button 1.05 Rom, if the IPL & SPL don't match after the first flash then flash a second time with the same Rom, that should fix IPL/SPL problems.
Now Unlock your device BEFORE flashng a 2.x Rom.
Dr P's Sticky Thread covers this, please read it throughly..

Hm, in point 7 - Connect your device and cancel the partnership. (You're a guest )
I can not connect my device, because I haven't OS on Wizard, he boots only to bootloader (with IPL 1.01 and SPL 2.26). I can flash from PC, but then I never have OS od MDA.
I read the "A Definitive Guide to Unlocking G3 Wizards" many times, but I dont's see any solution...
Maybe I have strange wizard
When all else fails, flash an official Rom from your Service Provider. That should get you back to working order then proceed with the unlocking from there.

When I say "Connect your device" I mean to connect it to the USB cable. Two paragraphs after item 17 I address this issue. You don't need an OS, just be in the bootloader screen. I've personally had this exact same thing happen where all I had was the IPL and SPL with nothing else. Remove battery from PDA and then put it back in. Make sure you reboot your PC.
Good luck.

good idea, but it doesn't work; because "upgrade only" - My originally T-Mobile ROM is only 2.21, so I can't flash it
17. My suggestion, take for what it's worth, is to download and install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM This will give you a strong 2.26 IPL and SPL to work with.

Invalid Vender ID.
But I can flash MOLSKI ROM with 2.26 IPL/SPL. Should I?

For everyone: Thanks for your time, really. But I'm confused, I read all, nothing helped.
Let's say: "Michalek is very stupid, we'll write him "what to do" step by step" ) something like "You asshol, connect your mda in bootloader to pc via usb, then download this, run it, then ...".
Because manual doesn't work for me, probably.
New year, new way I tried to flash today - and - i see OS, I'm in OS, I'm going to unlock wizard based on Unlocking Tutorial ;-)
I don't know, why it was successful. I tried reboot yesterday for four times, but it not helped. Only today.
I'm the happiest man on the planet And, "I've seen PROBABLY every situation with a G3 device here." - it is TRUE
Thank you for your time.

Good to hear you are making progress, let us know how things turn out!
--M
-Michalek- Well that's wha we like to hear! The 1.05 works great as a disaster recovery tool. Most times when it doesn't work I tend to lean on the PC as the culprit. CHKDSK, temp files, spyware and virus's, etc.
Happy New Year, no?
Don't feel stupid
I'm glad it's working for you! Don't feel stupid though. My first attempt at loading a new rom went very similar. The CID unlock process told me it was successful (I thought) but it wasn't. I freaked out and thought all was lost. But I finally worked through it by going back to the Button ROM (LOVE THAT BEER SPLASH SCREEN) and starting over. The same problem even happened again about three weeks ago. After freaking out, I reloaded the Button ROM and was back on my way to normalcy
MDA is running on Superrom 1.1 and it works!
I don't know, what exactly was the problem with OS, but it helped me, when I left MDA cca three hours without battery. When I flashed the ROM before, OS wasn't.
At the last time, THANK ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH. And special thanks for Dr Puttingham and his unlocking tutorial. Thanks.
I have an 8125 that I can't seem to get off of the RUU screen. It shows IPL 2.25.0001 and SPL 2.25.0001. Every time I try to use the HTC software update it reaches 95% and then errors out. Any idea how I can get this phone working again?
Thanks,
T
you have a G4 wizard, you need to install the wizard love rom. I believe if you read around, you may be able to find out where to find it. Also read some info about unlocking your CID and SIM for a G4 Wizard.

Hi there,
If you ever happen to get stuck in the IPL / SPL screen, try the following (it happened to me and I almost got a heart attack...):
"If your device doen't boot after flash procedure with my shelltool you should
1) Hold "Camera" while short pressing the "reset" button. Your device will enter in bootloader mode. You will se 3 stripes.
2) You should connect your usb cable to your device and pc and run RUU and flash this rom.

3) read my instruction once more and repeat all step by step. its very important!!"

Suggestion.
Go to IMEI Check, buy the unlock and have fun upgrading and downgrading your ROM.
It cost you some money but you can restore your device without to much trouble.
Best regards.

You can only unlock a G3 Wizard like that. G4's are different and have to be unlocked via imei check. The OP has a G4 based on their IPL/SPL they posted.
I can't seem to get my hands on this file. I've tried several places but no joy. Any thoughts on where I can lay my hands on the Wizard_Love ROM?

Got it and now the phone is working again!
So do I need to unlock the phone and install another ROM or will it work fine with this ROM?
Thanks, again for all your help!
T
Based on your original post, you have a G4 Wizard. You can't do the standard unlock like the stickies from Dr. P and Faria describe. You have to use the other sticky for installing roms with a CID locked phone. Your other option is to go to Imei Check and do their unlock (will cost about USD 40). Its all online (you give them your IMEI and some other info with your payment and then they send you the files to do the unlock). But even then, you still have to use G4 roms (so you need to be careful or you'll be back in this situation or worse).
BTW:I've never messed with a G4 Wizard so I'm only stating what I've read. Go read and re-read the CID Locked install procedure in the stickies to learn more.
Hello, I've tried to upgrade my Qtek 9100 G3, the flashing finishing with success, but when I start the phone it doesn't load windows, I can see the splash screen, and then the screen become completely white.

1.- I don´t think you have a G3 because de IPL/SPL you posted, but is very strange that Wizard Love RUU reported such error in a G4
2.- What kind of upgrade you wanted to do?
3.- Reflash your original ROM if you have it available.
Mod edit: Please refer him to the wiki before posting such information.
Yes, I have a G4 phone, you can see on my sign, but my friend with the phone broken have a G3, and now he can install any kind of rom, the important it's that it works.
So.... problem solved?

Mine is a G4 (2.25.001) The trailing 0001 is what so far has identified a G4
when I was first trying to flash my phone I read anything 2.21 and above was a G4... so perhaps I READ the wrong information.

The brick phone is a G3 with 2.26 IPL and SPL, from the T-mobile ROM. He brick the phone installing the prekitchen ROM from Faria.
Now Following the faria instruction, he would like to flash with wizard love rom, but he get the wrong update tool error. Did you know if there are some other possible solution?
In booloader mode, when I connect to the usb, in the phone screen appear USB, so I think that the phone it's not completely gone.

You´re right, if you have the tricolor screen and USB connection you´re safe, no worries!!! We can save it!
Have you tried the original T-Mobile? This one should do it, if you don´t succeed with the original ROM you may try Wizard Love but you have to use the right RUU, in this case pull de nk.nbf file from the Wizard Love and put it into the folder were the original T-Mobile RUU is (this would replace the original T-Mobile nk.nbf with the one from Wizard Love), then execute the original T-Mobile RUU with the new nk.nbf of course your Wizard connected to the PC, remove miniSD card (if any) and make sure you dissable the activesync connection
If my explanation sounds confussing for you, check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107
Good luck!
Thanks, I downloaded the T-mobile ROM, insert the love ROM nk.nbf and tried to upgrade...I get this error message:
Error 238: File Read
So, I extract the T-mobile, and launch the RUU directly, using the t-mobile nk.nbf, and not the wizard love one.
Now I'm flashing!!!!

Excelent!! I´m glad you had fix the problem!
I was upgrading my t-mobile 8150(?) the k-jam with the new windows mobile 6 and in the middle of it my comp crashed!! now i am stuck at the bootloader mode (3 colored screen) and when i try to redo it i get to 99% and get a 302 error message. i follow the instructions given but keeps going in circles. its a G3 so is my phone bricked or is there a way to save it? i've been looking at this site all day but am now just more confused. lol thanks for your help!
No your phone isn't bricked. As long as you can get into the bootloader screen you should be ok. What you need to do is flash an official carrier rom either tmobile 2.26 or wizard love rom after you that than you can reflash to wm6. look at the stickies in the wizard forums that is where you can find these roms.
Thanks for the info but seems my techno curse continues. I tried the wizard love rom but it was in a different language and whem i tried the tmobile 2.26 i got "error 274 connection." Any more suggestions? Again thanks soo much for an issue I'm sure has been posted here a thouand times.
This happens to me all the time. I always use the Cingular 2.25 rom, it works perfectly and I have an I-mate K-JAM. Then, do the WM6 upgrade, but ensure all of your Norton and Antivirus and background running apps are shut down. Good luck.
yes also take out your mini sd card if you have one. even though its in another language it will work. "AVANTI means next. so just keep hitting that and you will be fine.
hmm been trying to d/l the Cingular 2.25 rom but the link seems to have stoped working...
It;s aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllliiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! for now lol Lets see what happens after i install wm6 I couldn't get the cingular rom but i had already dowbloaded the button rom i found here earlier and it worked like a dream!! quick and easy!! thank you all soooooo much!
hi all. one more little thing. after adding the new rom to get it back to life, now the numbers don't match so i can't upgrade to wm6. i have ipl 1.01 spl 2.26. advice?
flash to the tmo 2.26 or cingular 2.25...that will give you an IPL/SPL of 2.xx
then, you can flash to WM6
i want to delete this message. can't find a way to do it.
there's any other way to flash without usb cable?? sorry to bug in this thread but i lost my usb connection somehow and did a hard reset and still doesn't work. my phone charges. and no is not my computer cuz my wifes phone same as mine does sync i have a tmobile mda also known as the cingular 8125.

keep reflashing buttons rom until both ipl/spl are the same number. if they are different, then the flash didn't complete correctly. (it happens often, so it's kinda normal). just keep reflashing. after both ipl/spl are the same, then CID unlock and then update to an official carrier...then flash a wm6.
can anyone help me??
Check if "USB" displayed when in bootloader mode (Camera+reset) with Wizard connected to PC.
If so, you may try to flash another ROM through bootloader.

I believe you've bricked your phone by flashing unappropriated bootloader to it.
Attach here the IPL/SPL you flashed to see if they are indeed G3 files
