i have an i-mate that was flashed with a custom rom in an unofficial service center with an ipl / spl 2.17 , i need to restore it to official i-mate k-jam rom which is 2.16 however the updater utility states its unability (probably due to spl reported to be higher than rom) is there a way i can bypass that or even downgrade spl ?
If you have a G4 phone. Try this unremove HardSPL trick to change the IPL/SPL in your phone. This is how I have gone from 2.25.0001 to 2.26.0001 to 3.08.0001 in my phone.
You will need to find the IPL/SPL you want. Be careful about G3 versus G4 versions.

If your phone is G3 someone else will need to help you.
thank u , its a g3 and i could help myself by installing button rom , later i had a problem where it downgraded ipl but not spl , finaly i realised they neglected to mention one thing .... u need to restart after installing rapi before cid unlocking , and then reinstall button rom

i'm new to this so don't burn me
i just downgraded my 8125 to 1.08, i unlocked the sim/cid
then upgraded to cincular 2.26 aku2.3 by shogunmark, but the ipl is still 1.08???
so what am i doing worng?
thanks in advance !
IPL left out of rom
flashing the wrong ipl will brick a device eg. (ipl 2.26.0001 --->G3 device-->Brick)
the 2.26 cingular rom might not update your ipl try another rom like molski 30mb then reflash to 2.26 cingular rom ! post your findings
its not a g4, its a g3
its has been working since the upgrade, so would i be safe to load the latest rom by molski...thanks LMK
ok, upgrade to molski rom was success
is there a way to remove task manager from the bottom right and bring back the battery status, also are ther any skins to the dial pad. one more question can u customize the desktop like remove things i won't be using...thanks for all ur help!
Can anyone please help with my brick ? ? ?
I tried to go to WM6 by unlocking the CID and the phone - so far so good. Read that i needed IPL/SPL 2.xx or higher so set off to search. Found IPL/SPL 3.08 so installed those to my phone. Then tried to upgrade to the WM6 official rom found on these very pages. Now every time i flash i get update error 302 at 99%.
Im almost sure its the IPL/SPL but i have nothing to backtrack to and not a lot to back this theory up as im still a newbie in the ROM area. My original versions were 1.02 each as i have a G3 O2 XDA Mini ( wizard )
im really stumped and phoneless at mo so ANY help would be grateful for.
Thanks
Andy
you say with the wm6 oficcial there is not a official rom for wizard tellme what rom do you used

I bet you went from 1.02 to 3.08 without stopping at 2.xx
Maybe that's the cause?
but he says than he flashed with the oficcial rom there is no oficcial are agree
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the quick replies.. I used
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310954
( about quarter way down it says official download site for WM6.0.0)
Mestrini - Yes i went straight from 1.02 to 3.08 coz i cannot find the V2.xx IPL/SPL files but i have found the updater solely for the IPL/SPL to 3.08 which is what i used.
is that any use ??
flash your phone with the tmobile 2.26, that should correct your issue. It will also give you the 2.26 version of spl/ipl
ok if you had a cid unlocked device search in the forum for the t-mo 2.26 ipl/spl after you can update for the rom as you tell
en joy it
Thanks for the advice guys, ive tried several different roms and i have a consistent problem where it will not let me change the rom as ( i think ) my SPL version is still 3.08 and every ROM bombs out with "this is an upgrade only"
help me downgrade my IPL/SPL back to 1.02 pleaseeeee
cheers.

Default Do Not Upgrade To 3.08 !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
i have T-Mobile MDA and Im stuck with spl 3.08
I did everything.......... and I mean EVERYTHING and nothing helps me bring back my MDA to the original T-mobile software or downgrading the SPL.
1. Downgrading my IPL to 1.01 (using button rom)
2. Unlocking CID with lokiwiz (successfully)
3. Running button rom again
The SPL still stays 3.08 after doing the above...
If there is another way to downgrade the SPL 3.08, please let me know. I really need the T-mobile original rom version.
Thanks so much.

Thats your problem, reflash the 1.02 rom again, both IPL and SPL have to be the same.
hey nottoosmart
i know... i need to find a way to drop the SPL back to 1.02 or thereabouts. i cant flash back to the T-Moblie 2.26 ROM coz it says my SPL is too high. i upgraded my IPL and SPL using a rom updater now whatever i try i cannot drop the SPL version.

Maybe, just maybe, the O2 ROM may help you. Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1379884&postcount=2 That post is from vippie - so you know that you can rely on it!

1-15. Done
16. Watch the rebooting of your PDA, if BOTH IPL and SPL are 1.xx then great. Quite probably your IPL will be 1.xx and your SPL will be 2.xx. Rerun the button 1.05 ROM downgrade a second time and it will become 1.x on both IPL and SPL. You don't need to redo the unlocking.
when i try this I can't get the SPL to go back, IPL is fine, but i've tried 4 sucessive times, no chance..
I then tried this :-
Step 17 - Download and install the 3.08 IPL/SPL rather than the 2.26, your choice! (I suggest doing the T-Mobile 2.26 first but that's me )
that went ok, and then I tried flashing roms, but the only one I can get to work is the Wizzard Love ROM.
I'd love to run WM6 but i can't, if i try the other ROMS they flash ok, but I just go back to the Wizzard ROM when it reloads
any ideas ?
very many thanks, Will

"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."
'Now you SHOULD have a IPL and SPL of 2.26 to work with. If not, you screwed up! Don't attempt to install someone's hard work and ***** before you do these steps!'
EDIT for Step 17 - Download and install the 3.08 IPL/SPL rather than the 2.26, your choice! (I suggest doing the T-Mobile 2.26 first but that's me
Well,
You missed the all important step 17,flashing the T-mobile 2.26,this cud have given you solid IPL/SPL 2.26 to work on,Instead opted for Edit to step 17,flashing 3.08.
Your device is not CID unlocked,download WST tool and check the status of your phone,
secondly you shudn't have upgraded your ipl/spl to 3.08,till you were sure your phone is cid unlock and both the ipl/spl are the same.
anyway download the wst tool to check your phone's status and post the report here,
bugger...
i tried another rom and am stuck in the bootloader...
i have 3.08 for IPL and SPL
I think the WST will not work from the bootloader (and i can't find it to download)
any further sugestions ?
I have tried both the t-mobile and button roms
tia will try not to do any more damage ;-)

In this particular situation no rom will flash,the only option is to get the IPL/SPL back to 1.xx,only than you can unlock.
If you are in boot loader,try to flash buttons 1.05 again,if worked,ok. otherwise download the latest official rom from the carriers site and flash,it will work and bring back your phone in working status.then flash button's 1.05 to unlock with lokiwiz02b.
Are you having any sdcard in your phone,remove it,it'll help,sometimes sdcard freezes the boot loader,by removing it,boot loader mode is released,good luck
many thanks, i came across a IPL SPL 2.26 only ROM and this I managed to get to flash, and with your advise I now have WM6

Glade it's up and running
I have read the guides to unlocking and from what I see there are none that work on 3.xx SPL/IPL. I was able to downgrade the IPL but never the SPL.
I have seen several threads that say if you flash button rom (several times) it will eventually downgrade the SPL also, but all night as I worked I flashed the button ROM (about 12-15 times) and still can't downgrade the SPL from the 3.08, only IPL goes to 1.01
Tried the original Cingular ROM and it isn't accepted (I think because I have a higher SPL than the original 2.26), tried using the ShellTool, Tried SoftSPL too but none worked.
IS THERE A WAY TO DOWNGRADE THE 3.08 SPL SO THAT I CAN USE THE LOKIWIZ02 OR LOKIWIZ03. I saw a thred saying that 3.08 can't be downloaded but I also saw SEVERAL saying to just keep insisting with the Button rom that it will eventually work (but after almost 15 consecutive tries I've had it).
Any help would be GREAT.
thanks

Button ROM doesn't work for that. I tried numerous times too. The only ROMs that work to downgrade to anything else from 3.08 are the OEM releases from either T-Mo or AT&T.
The Cingular ROM isn't accepted because it checks the OS version number. I had to try several peoples' ROMs until I found one with a low enough version number to where the Cingular ROm could flash on top of it.
Try to flash T-Mobile 2.26 to bring it down to ipl/spl 2,26 then go for button's 1.05,hope it'll do the trick.
Good luck
p.s. you can try the wizard_love_Rom also,lol
I want to downgrade my phone, too. but the original T-Mobile AKU2.0 say while reading the phones ROM-Version "only update"... so, with this no downgrade is possible.
How can i CID unlock with AKU3? I want to flash a new ROM from xda-developer as well... damn
Regards

You could probably extract the nk.nbf and use the standard tools to flash it.
The nk.nbf can usually be found in a .tmp folder in c:\documents and settings\yourname\Local Settings\Temp
Thanx for your Hint... but which "Standard-Tool" should i use?
Sorry for this silly question, but i am new in experience with my vario

I believe that my brother' Wizard is CID unlocked already, because I also flashed many WM5 into it. But few days ago I tried to flash the WM6.1 and now it is stuck at the 1st splash screen.
I have a lot experiences from flashing rom by Hermes, Atom, Herald, Kaiser… I have read and tried many time how to solve this problem but it did not work. The re-flashing progress was exellent with ’ CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE’, the screen still say as below:
IPL 1.01
SPL 3.08
GSM 01.12.01
OS 1.5.4.2
But any flash with other roms like T-Mobile 2.26 was stopped by connection or ID errors. The problem is how can I get the IPL/SPL back to 1.xx!
Appreciate any help!
Thanks!
Run the button rom ( custom rom you identified ) again - it can take a few tries, but both your ipl and spl have to be the same 1.xx
You need ipl/spl of 1.xx to unlock
You need ipl/spl of 2.xx to upgrade to wm6
I had to run the button rom twice to achieve this
Good luck

I know how to do it and did it many (10 ) times with custom rom but no good result. The IPL has been downgarded to 1.01 but SPL is still 3.08.
Anyway, thanks for your reply!
Sorry about that - was just trying to help
Check out the response from mestrini on the attached thread - he mentions something about the spl freezing if you downgrade from 3.xx to 1.xx
I was not aware of this info - and perhaps mestrini can give you some details on how to get around it - if that is the issue here.

Try to bring ipl to 3.08 by reflashing ipl/spl 3.08 to bring both ipl/spl to 3.08 and then flash the official stock rom to downgrade to 2.xx and then downgrade to 1.xx by button's rom 1.05.
Cheers!

I also did it many times by using IPL_SPL_3.08.rar, but after that could not flash with T-Mobile 2.26 rom to downgrade to 2.26. The connection error always appear.
2 days ago, before bringing IPL/SPL to 3.08 I also brought it to 2.26 and the flash ran well. But when I tried to downgrade to 1.xx by button rom 1.05, only the IPL was changed to 1.xx, SPL was still the same as 2.26.
I realized that many people succeeded by doing this but not me even the process is the same step by step! And I really dont know why?

If it had once got spl 2.26,you shud have tried to flash the button's a couple of more times to downgrade the spl to 1.xx,why again you upgraded to 3.08. Now I believe the SPL is locked at 3.08 and it requires more efforts to downgrade to 2.xx,the only way is to keep on flashing the tmo 2.26 some more times,if you are lucky,it might downgrade.Otherwise upgrade to 3.08 and keep using wm5 official stock Rom.
Cheers!
