Hi,
I tried flashing my rom using the shell tool today and it did not work. So I tried a hard reset and now its stuck in the first screen where its a blue background and it says
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
os 10.2.0.8
I was able to get past the RGB screen but now I have no idea what to do.
I tried flashing it to the WM6 if that helps anything and it was on the official cingular rom before
Why are you using the Shell Tool when you have a G3 (based on the IPL / SPL that you posted)? Just CID unlock your device and save yourself a ton of headaches.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
And yes it helps to know you are flashing WM6, but which one?
I was trying to flash it to PDAMobiz_Wizard_WM6_G3_AmazingRom_V.1.1_by_Hong.exe
I got my machine back to the 225 rom but I just cant seem to get the instructions on flashing it to work as I cant flash to button, wizard love, or tmobile and therefore cant get it to flash properly.
just throw it in bootloader mode (press soft reset with the stylus and then quickly hold the camera button.) When you get there just connect the wizard to the usb port and flash with the latest official rom. It really should work
I did. my problem is trying to get it to WM6. I have tried the official rules by the doctor, but I cant unlock it and I cant downgrade the rom. I cant install the tmobile rom as well. It seems every rom I try to install does not work.its driving me crazy.
Why can't you unlock it? Dr. P's unlocking instructions with Lokiwz are pretty straightforward and easy to do -- if you follow them step by step. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to unlock it.
PLUS -- once you're unlocked, you can flash to ANY ROM -- ANY TIME. No need to downgrade and re-unlock every time you want to flash a newer, better ROM.
I followed the instructions. But they did not work for me. I cant goto either of the roms suggested and I cant unlock my phone. it just doesnt work for me.

You can't even downgrade to button's rom? What's the error you're getting. Give us some info we can help you further with!

I hate to say this, but if you did follow the instructions it would work. You really can't skip steps.

The error I am getting downgrading to button is
error 260 - update error
I get this with all roms. I have restarted my pc numerous times and done other things to try to get it to work but alas nothing helps.

17 ERROR [248~260] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.
Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.

The solution for your problem might be in this thread.

Give it a shot
One last thought --
If you can't downgrade to Buttons' 1.05 ROM to unlock, maybe you could downgrade to the original Cingular-shipped ROM, which is v1.08.
I've uploaded it to Rapidshare for you if you want to try it.

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!!
I was trying to flash my trinity but i am having problems,
I can get the phone into the bootloader mode without any problems
and the software see the phone ok but the update only gets 1% before it fails with "error 270 image is corrupt" i have tried many different image but the same occurs with them all.
My phone now only goes to the splash screen
is there any think i can do?
take a look at this thread, it may help you unbrick your Trinity...
thanks but no , my phone is not stuck in the bootloader just will not flash
Go HERE they might have a solution there!
Please don't double post! It will not give you a solution twice as fast
Hi. I had the same issue and solved it. feel free to send a MP if you still need help
Thanks still can not get working.. sent a pm to tonio94 thanks mate
Error 270
Hi m8,
Your error 270 is because your phone is still locked and the ROM(s) you are trying to flash are not natively signed for use on your particular phone!
You can either...
1. Pay to get your phone unlocked
2. Set your phone with Hard-SPL (see the related sticky on this very Forum)
3. Extract the .nbh file from the ROM you are trying to flash and flash it using the SoftSPL (SSPL) - again see the sticky on this very Forum.
Not being funny, but you really must do a bit of background reading before you start messing with these new ROM's on your phone.
I hope this helps - PM me if you need more detail.
Moz.
Same problem
Hello,
I've followed the thread to unlock cid/sim my 3600, but I can't upgrade nothing. I can't upgrade hardspl to.
With all roms, the phone stay on tricolor screen after "Yes" to allow enterbootloader.exe, and the rom tell me that the device is not connected.
Active sync was ok, the phone battery to.
Help?
I've 1.23.406 rom actually, and spl 1.07 ds.
EDIT: I've the soluce. I use the SSPL-TRIN for each upgrade, before the hard spl, before passing in 1.41, et now before the ROM, and it runs!!
I had not understood the thread about sspl-trin to bypass, so I didn't use properly.
Now it's ok...
Hi Guys,
i consider myself relatively experienced at flashing HTC devices having been using and upgrading for a few years but i've run into an issue on my CID locked G4. i upgraded to WM6 without issue and i tried to revert back to my O2 rom, the flash failed and i'm now stuck at the splash screen. I've tried to flash the original ROM from boot loader but i get a 101 error unable to connect(can see it in device manager). as i'm using vista i did a search and found some instructions and driver files but i get the same result. the only thing i can think of now is to CID unlock but i'm not sure it will help (unless it allows me to do the SD card restore). any ideas guys?
IPL:2.21.001
SPL:2.21.001
GSM:02.25.11
OS:10.1.0.811
OK., what you need to do is use a PC with XP, because i have read that vista PC's can get you into a lot of trouble. When you are at an XP PC, follow the instructions in my previous post
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313354 ).
When you flashed the original ROM, and you succeeded in doing so, think real hard if you still want to upgrade to a new ROM.
If you still want to do that, stick to a PC with XP installed (no vista!).
If you did reflash a good ROM into your HTC you'll be one step closer to upgrading your ROM.
Read this post thourougly :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
as this will help you in case you didn't CID unlock your device.
(thanks vippie; this is the clearest walktrough i could find!)
If you are really sure you CID unlocked your device, you can flash your device to any ROM you think is useful to you.
If your device is really CID unlocked, you should be able to flash any ROM that is posted on this forum.
I know that it is that easy, because i have tried every WM6 ROM that is posted on this forum
good luck, and i hope in the end you will have the ROM that you want....
thanks. my device IS CID LOCKED and i've tried to flash it from 2 XP machines so it is looking like its a brick thanks anyway.
for sale wizard with pretty 3 colour screen - sold as seen!!!
One thing you can try is use another USB to mini USB cable, i have had one cable that didn't connect really well.
Sometimes it worked but if i moved my phone the connection went down.
I just thought of that because it was a while ago that this happened - I threw away the faulty cable and had no problems after that.
tried 3 different cables too

If you have a memory card take it out. Right click on ActiveSync and go to connection settings. Uncheck allow usb connections then try to flash. With windows XP...

Hey Chaps,
Just thought earlier today i'd have a go at upgrading my phone with the new HTC firmware for my Vodafone Kaiser. First i tried it on it's own only to find the 'vendor' had blocked the upgrade, then i ran the HARDSPL software, when it rebooted my phone to the tri-colour screen i stopped pressing enter on the batch file and ran the HTC upgrade again! ... success - sort of; the upgrade got to 15% and stopped with a connection error (my usb's dodgy i think), then when the phone rebooted to the tri-colour boot loader it'd a) no longer accept the HTC Rom (vendor thing again) and b) become irritatingly broken.
Is it possible to flash an older vodafone rom to the device? if so, where can i find such a beast. Or does anyone know of any devilish ways to put the new rom on using the bog standard bootloader?
Thanks in advance big time to any clever phone experts who can de-brick my... er... brick
Dan.
your supposed to install hardspl before upgrading it if you try it on its own it will brick it at least thats what i heard from the stickies
azazelx, he has hardSPL installed, anyway.
@JimmyJangle: flash via microSD card. [url="http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash" URL]Read here.[/url]
You need winrar to extract file nbh from the shipped ROM.exe.
Hmm, i don't think i do have HardSPL actually installed,
When i saw the tricolour screen come up with different version information I stopped that batch file that was installing HARDSPL (impatiently) and started the HTC one (which failed at 15%). So now i (think) i have a phone with no firmware and the bootloader says:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD=8
I reckon if i can find a vodafone made rom the bootloader'll let me install it.
Any idea where i could find one?
What is ur orginal shipped ROM?
Your solution now is flash back the orginal ROM by using microSD card method I mentioned above, install HardSPL succesfully, then flash whatever ROM you prefer.
Hey Nghiem,
Thanks for the help, that link doesn't go anywhere though.
Also, wouldn't i need the original rom from somewhere in order to do that?
Thanks,
Dan
where did you buy the phone e.g vodafone, orange, etc...so I can tell you the original ROM? Because you phone CID is not unlock, hence you must flash the back the shippied one.

Hi,
I got the phone from Vodafone in the UK.
It had WM5 on it... erm, that's it.
I've just beem trying to load original voda roms back on to it but it's not happy - i don't know if they really are the originals though, one says 'reconstructed'.
Dan
Actually, that was the rom i tried and it came up with the Vendor ID error.
Dan.
Link on post #6 is the official not reconstructed. How about download directly from Vodafone website? It's strange when you have carrier ID block even with its ROM. Also, try reconstructed ROM listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
Search for mtty, see if it can help you out.
MTTY saved the day!
Only 3 hours of my life lost!

Cheers. Don't forget to flash HardSPL and read the wiki before doing anything.
