Dear all,
I am trying to start the procedure for Rom reprogramming a bricked Wizard (QTEK 9100 brand).
It is stuck in bootloader
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21
The IPL shows a G4 device, but shouldn't the SPL be the same format, 2.21.xxxx?
So I guess it is a G4- If I am wrong please tell me so
I don't know whether this device is CID unlocked or not, since the company I work for bought it with another job lot with other office equipment.
What have I already done and didn't work till now:
1.I have tried several roms from xda-developers Wizard division but still stuck in bootloader
2.i tried to unlocked it on imei-check.co.uk by downloading the guys application but it does not show the IMEI of the device as it should. I followed their instructions about disabling firewall/antivirus. It says Communication problem try again after restart.Did it many times but nothing.
3.Followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 for both G4 and G3 devices(I know I shouldn't do for G3 but there's no change)
4.I have tried the procedure through the Mtty apps for backing the system to an sd (fat formatted) but the system does not recognise the sd card...I should mention that I made a backup to a 256MB mini sd card and restored succesfully to another Qtek9100 (with spl 3.08 and ipl 3.08). I later took this sd with the backup -from the working one- and started the restore procedure to the faulty one...The message for restore does not appear....After the camera+power button start it goes directly to the known bootloader with IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.
4. I tried to find an official Rom for that and tested a few, but to be honest I don't know if it is simlocked or not and of course I don't know from which company was branded in the first place....
5.At the time I am working on the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744 posted by dharvey4651...Still no results, but I won't let it ...let me down...
Too many puzzles...I know
I'm sure I will find a way somehow in here, in the near future, since I have arleady restored 2 bricked Qtek 9000 and a bricked Athena which is currently my phone. But still trying.
Does anybody have an idea? I would be very happy to hear from anybody.
Thank you in advance guys! Keep rocking!!!!
IPL 2.21.0001 with SPL 2.21
I think my problem is the following
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21
The IPL shows a G4 device....but the SPL a G3....
Is there anybody that can help?
Thank you in advance for just dropping by.
I would advise you to CID unlock first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332320
And I think from there you can try anything!
Looks to me also it's a G4 Wiz...
Or... you could try the Wizard Service tool to do it all for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295038
You seem to have mixed bootloaders.
No way of flashing will repair it, The IPL and the SPL simply don't match (like diesel in a petrol engine).
The only way of unbricking the device is by JTAG.
(please read those threads in order to have more background regarding the JTAG method)

Can someone point me to an English version of this? The only one I can find linked on this site is http://rs25.rapidshare.com/files/17792050/Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar. This is in another language (Italian maybe) and I keep getting a "300" error. Thanks.

Are you sure you have a G4 ?
No, I have a G3. But according to "How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613, if I have an IPL/SPL of 2.xx, I need the wizard_love rom. Read last sentence of G.2.
I used the button ROM. It brought my IPL down to 1.01, but my SPL is still 2.25. Is that OK to proceed?
Keep reflashing the button ROM until both your IPL and SPL are 1.xx. It may take a few times. I think I've read where it's taken some people as many as 7 or 8 times to get them both down. Be patient and make sure your battery is good and charged and when you get them both down, then run lokiwiz to unlock your phone.

After at least 15 flashes with button, still no luck. I started with Cingular 2.25.
The button I am using is CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe.
My IPL is down to 1.01, but my SPL is still 2.25. How in the world do I get passed this?
It really sucks when you can't get past the first step .
P.S. Should the SIM be in the unit during the flash? I've tried it both ways.
Not sure if it matters if the sim in is in it or not, but make sure your SD card is out because that causes problems a lot of times. Here, download and try this, it is an IPL/SPL updater only. It has version 1.05 of both which might be able to bring your SPL down so you can unlock your phone.

Tried it several times. No luck, SPL still stuck at 2.25, but thanks for the help. Anyone else out there with this problem?
That's weird, usually it happens the other way around and people get their IPL stuck at 1.xx when they try to upgrade back to a 2.xx but the SPL upgrades without a problem. Since you already have the button ROM on there, go ahead and try and see if it will CID unlock for you. Run lokiwiz and see if it gives you any errors and if not, download and install Wizard Service Tools on to your computer and then run it and click the CID actions button to see if it tells you that your CID is unlocked. If it does then your safe to start upgrading. For some reason I have a feeling it might just work for you.
same here, got the cingular 8125 and flashed the rom. I can not get the spl down. I have 2.25 as well. ahhh what other rom should be good for a cid unlock
also i am on activesync as "guest" dont know if this matters

That doesn't matter.
Try flashing Tmobile 2.26 then again the 1.05 Button ROM
From what i know the Wizard Love is only for G4 Users. G3 users should flash Tmobile stoc 2.26
not all g3 are the same!!
i have experienced the same with my g3 (IPL/SPL 2.18) when i tryed to downgrade the spl... ipl 1.05 and spl 2.18 still remain... just try to unlock spl with lokiwiz02b and relax... i tried to install tnt 5.0 23 times before i unlocked the spl... just read and apply this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
i downgraded and reupgraded my spl locked g3 (qtek 9100) in 45 minutes at the state of art...
-----------------------------------------------
tnx to all people that try and try and try and teach us with his experience...
I have found that the SPL doesn't matter. Go ahead and run lokiwiz and you will be ok.
yeah i got throught just run lokiwiz02b cid unlock and then update to tmo rom
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
MGF
IPL 1.01
SPL 3.08
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
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
Thomas
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

Short version:
I have an xda Mini S
ipl 1.01
spl 2.21
OS 10.1.0.811
I was running the mfrazzz WM6 I think it was vers XM6r5 RC1. I tried to updgrade my ROM to a new one because if issues I was having with this version. It was great but I could no longer surf the web and my unit would crash with the WAN and internet running.
I had to CID unlock my phone last July to get this XM6r5 RC1 to run (I believe I did anyway).
Today I attempted to flash the button ROM to my phone and it made it about 22% then the phone reset and crashed (started to loop on and off at the green, yellow and blue screen). Now it starts to update the rom but most of the time it reenters that loop shortly after the button rom app starts. The battery was full when I started. I have tried 2 different PC's with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
Additional info: the reason I tried to upgrade the phone was it would crash when accessing the web via wifi (just recently). When connected to the PC it was fine. If I used the wifi sometimes it would work for 5 mins sometimes none but everytime I would it would crash and start to loop on and off crashing at the splash screen showing the IPL and SPL. The only way to recover it was to pull the battery. It is now doing this reboot loop at the bootloader screen when it crashes).
I hope thats not TMI but I really want my phone working again.
I just discovered that it will start the reboot sequence regardless of whether it is plugged in or not. It will start randomly rebooting once it is turned on. I tried installing the RUU Hermes Qtek rom and now it is telling my my ipl is 2.26 as well as my spl.
Please help!
hi
I have a o2 mini s too mine is g4 i dont know yours but if you have hard spl you shouldnt flash official rom if you said that you have 2.26 ips slp then you should not have problems flashing to your official rom but if that doesnt help use the wizard love.
Hope i help.

Its really strange,if you say you had XM6r5 RC1,which is your device, G3 or G4 ?,cuz if you have a G3 phone,how come you have ipl 1.01 and spl 2.21.wm6 roms cannot be installed with ipl1.xx,got to have ipl/spl 2.xx. Also you say you Cid unlocked the phone.Are you sure ,it was xm6r5 OS ,which was running on your phone ? How did you flash it ? with ipl 1.01 and spl 2.21 ?
Well,if you have a G4 device,its not possible to CID unlock it and IPL shud have been 2.21.0001 and the SPL is 2.21.olip ? after HardSPL and in SoftSPL IPL/SPL remains the same as the original ipl/spl e.g 2.21.0001.
Would you plz be more specific and explain what the status of your phone is and what exactly you did before ?
Cheers!

Ok please bear with me my recollection is hazy on this. Last August my phone was runnging the O2 software. After checking in here I identified my phone as a G3 phone. I then checked to see if it was CID locked (after doing a posted test it appeared to be). I don't recall how I did the CID unlock. I followed the CID and flashing insructions posted somewhere in the xda-developers forum (it may have been with the rom I used (mfrazzz version) I think I flashed the original O2 xda software from the O2 site then I flashed the Wm6 to my phone I believe it was XM6r5 RC1. I think it was the XM6r5 RC1 only because when it would boot I would see 3 splash screens. First was a Cylon witht he HTC logo, followed by an orange speedometer (with the IPL listed as 1.01 and spl as 2.21 OS was 10.1.0.811 and I don't know that the GSM numbers were) and the third was the splash screen from mfrazzz (dark blue/green with mfrazzz on it). I am pretty sure it was the XM6r5 RC1 build but I could be wrong I think it was the latest at that time. It was stable for several months (basically until 2 weeks ago) when I deleted the recycle bin and temp fold from the memory card (not the device). After that if I accessed the web via wifi it would crash then go into a repeating loop and the LED would change from green to red. The only way to stop it was to remove the battery. I don't know what else to tell you. When I left it yesterday it was at ipl/spl of 2.26 after initiating a RUU hermes . . . . I left it overnight started it up with button rom and it made it 60% then started looping again and gave the error code 274. A second attemp made it to 14% then code 302 (it started to loop again. It still says ipl/spl 2.26. I'm really at a loss here.
ok, I believe,what you are saying must be true,anyway,its not common or observed or even seen to have ipl 1.xx and upgrade to a wm6 rom,untill you have a cid unlocked phone with ipl/spl 2.xx, I'm really,rather, surprised,how you got it!!! or you might have got ipl 1.xx after now again flashing Button's Rom 1.05,the second time now.
Anyhow,now download the official carrier's rom or T-mobile 2.26 or xda_minis_launch Rom and try to flash and recover back to default status and check with WST tool,speciaaly the 'CID Action' button,to verify the SIN?CID lock/unlock status of the phone, then proceed further,ok
Cheers!
I don't know how I got it either. I do know that the ipl/spl while it was working was 1.01 and 2.21. After my first few attempts to load the button rom and then a version of the hermes and t-mobile rom, my phone boots to the bootloader screen and has ipl/spl of 2.26. I have attempted the t-mobile rom a few times but the most successful was the initial attempt after letting it sit over night. It almost made it through (80%) with the t-mobile rom then it crashed and started its loops again. Subsequent attempts made it to as high as 60% and as low as 14%. Is it possible to charge the battery while it is in boot loader mode, perhaps with a wall charger and not plugged into the PC. I ask b/c I am worried my battery may be getting too low and also when it is plugged into the pc it boots automatically. Perhaps I should ask this but do you know where I can get the xda_minis_launch Rom I have searched here and google and no luck. What i did find here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades gives me an error 530 unable to switch message.
Thanks for your help!

ok, try out this link below,you'll find all the requirements here and guidance.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
Goodluck
Thanks! I will dl that and try that rom. Have you heard of a phone rebooting like mine does? Today once again I was able to start RUU (t-mobile) and once again it made it to just over 80% and then the phone would reboot and start looping until I removed the battery. I tried again immediately and it made it just past the phone verification before it started the reboot loop. Since then I have been letting it sit. Any suggestions or ideas as to why it would do that?
Thanks for your help.
Your are welcome !
It won't charge in bootloaders mode or from the pc via usb cable,but you can charge it with a wall charger and its always better and recommended to have a fully charged battery before flashing.
Cheers!
So if it is powered off and I use a wall charger then it should charge. When I started this process the batter had a full charge but I have no idea where it is at now that I have attempted to flash it so many time. With the new rom it only makes it about 65% then it loops. It is really starting to wear my patience.
Hey there!
I was going to upgrade my Qtek 9100 to some nice WM 6.1 version here and I followed the guide but I forgot to check my IPL/SPL, I only checked my version in the 9100 and it said 2.1 xxx so I thought I had an older version that wasnt G4 but when I ran the downgrade rom and the update application said something about that I had an old update utility. My 9100 rebooted and now it has hanged at the update screen and it says IPL 2.17.0001 and SPL 2.17.0001 which means its bricked and there is no way of ever getting it to work?
HOWA !!!
You are just one lucky guy,if its stuck on bootloaders (tricolor screen) with ipl/spl displayed,then you just got saved.otherwise,it shud have 'Bricked' the phone.As long as it gets into bootloaders (tricolor),its safe. Always remember,you cannot downgrade or SIM/CID unlock a G4 device like this as a G3 device,infact,a G4 device can not be cid unlocked at all.If you want to upgrade to a wm6 rom,read and follow the guides in G4 forum 'Stickied' as 'HardSPL' and 'SoftSPL'.
Now to recover back,download the official carrier's rom from its website or download the wizard_love_rom and flash it in bootloaders,it'll recover back and start to work,and then go for upgrade as per guides mentioned above.
Cheers!
Hehe nice to see I have luck sometimes! It was the 0001 that certified that I had a G4 right? Thanx for the tips!
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.
