Hello, I feel sorry for your bricked Prophet but here some informations. First of all, there is no need to write in big red letters. This usually annoy people or make them feel offended. You are not more important than others - who have their own problems as well. Writing normally would usually give better chances for a reply.
Here some feedback for your problem :
a) As long as you can get back into the boot loader as long everything is recoverable (hold camera button and reset and keep the camera button pressed until you get into the boot loader with the different colors). As long as this is still there as long you can recover.
b) Get an official ROM from your service provider for your Prophet and flash it back.
c) Only problem you might have is the updated boot loader (2.20).
big red annoys me.
You did not try to flash your G3 phone with a G4 rom now did you? (or G4 with G3 rom..)
As Spatzm said: Try to get into bootloader. If that works try updating again with the official qtek 2.20 rom. (here). And READ that topic about how to install and get yourself the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe from the ftp (see wiki).
Since you tried to update with the 2.20 rom (which is the base of Jesters rom) you cannot downgrade, that's why you need to use the 2.20 official qtek rom (which is suitable for both G3 and G4). You can only downgrade if you have a CID unlocked G3 (if you don't know if it's CID unlocked then it's not ) with a G4 device you cannot downgrade to put it down shortly.
Hi guys,
I've just implemented a Vox USPL which allows you to flash any Vox ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any *official* ROM even if your phone's model and vendor ID doesn't match. It's confirmed that you can also flash cooked ROMs
This SPL is based on original Vox 1.16 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Vox after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.
The USPL runs in RAM and is *not* flashed to your device, so there is no risk there. Once it runs you can run any official Vox ROM update utility.
The USPL does *not* permanently CID unlock your phone, like the CID unlocker from imei-check or so.
After you flashed a ROM your phone is again CID locked. Each time you wonna flash a ROM with a different model and/or vendor ID (different from your phone) or a cooked ROM, you must run the USPL again and then flash the ROM.
It's beta and untested and the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
EDIT:
You can now also flash the USPL allowing you to flash any unsigned (cooked ROM or ROM module, e.g. radio or OS) or signed ROM with any model/vendor ID. The USPL substitutes your SPL until you perform a full ROM update. Consider it as an extra insurance in case something goes wrong with flashing cooked ROMs or any other ROM update !
Instructions:
1. Run the USPL (Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)
2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Vox-USPL-RUU.zip)
Have fun,
JockyW
The attachments:
SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip : application unlocker if u need it
mtty1.42.zip : terminal emulator (not neccessary if u only do ROM updates, but if you wonna play with the bootloader commands you need it)
Vox-USPL-RUU.zip: flash version of USPL (Note: you must first run USPL from "Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip" before you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Vox-USPL-RUU.zip !!!)
Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip : instructions included
Credits: in particular to pof. This USPL and also the one for Excalibur is based on his USPL for the Elf. See here
I think this is one of the most fantastic news of the century!!!
Finally some cooking can start on this little device.
Thanks again,
Ka.
noob question
what the difference between sim unlock and cid unlock?
This can be found in various threads around here, anyway.
SIM Lock - You can't use a SIM from a different provider than the one who sold you the phone.
CID-Lock - You can't flash your phone with a ROM which hasn't been cooked by your provider (or manufacturer for HTC unbranded phones).

jockyw2001 great but make one for htc oxygen pls.
htc s710 - rom
confirm this is working very gd

Same here
anyone online right now wanna drop me a line about this... what do I do exactly with the ruu file. Do I place rom image in that folder while runnning update???
so i followed the instructions and executed the cid bypass(installed itsutils and haret). once i get to the end it says use mtty or flash with RUU. so I attempt to flash right after (am I supposed to flash while the screen is black) but its gives me a connections error. I figure its because the phone is off. So I turn it on and update with the RUU again but only make it to 3% before I get a invalid vendor id. Would anyone care to comment on how I can flash this vox to the dopod rom...

To the users who had the same problem as me I am currently flashing my phone and I managed to get past my problem by using the SDA Application unlocker on my vox. I always thought that HTC were already application unlocked. Was going crazy for a while but I guess I should've followed the instructions step-by-step regardless of what I thought.
Big up to jockyw2001(and of course pof for without him alot of us would still be using shipped rom) for this wicked tool.
Cheers

I only got this phone so I could upgrade it for a friend to stop the boot loop. It seems to have fixed that problem so I guess it's better than the other roms. On the other hand I can't stand smartphone's so my suggestion is to ditch your SP and switch to PPC . Also I read before hand that this ROM doesn't include Windows Live Messenger but it is included in the rom. Just thought I'd let u guys know.
input please
Just ran into another problem and would appreciate some input. I understand that USPL only works for one flash...but I wasn't aware that a hard reset counted as a flash. Regardless my device hung at the dopod boot screen after a hard reset. Is this normal after using USPL on a device, and if so does this occur with all devices??? I would hate to give a phone back and have to tell the person that they can't perform a hard reset...

If you flash a full ROM the SPL is overwritten with the one in the ROM (Dopod = 1.19). Nothing to do with USPL. Booting can take a long time after hard reset. Unplug battery and try again.

Thanks, I got it to work eventually...Good to know USPL doesn't effect hard resets, I guess you learn something new everyday.
If I had to take a guess before hand I'd figure a SP would boot faster than a PPC, but I realize now that I'd be wrong...
thanks to all for the help, I can finally return this Vox back to its owner
cheers
Hi
I flashed my E650 in French with the swissrom (present on FTP), all works !
an idea to change the logo operator to HTC original ?
thanks
thought I fixed the problem. seems as if after a day it just hangs at the dopod screen. It was working fine everytime I had it. As soon as I give it back it seems to hang. Guess ima just flash it back to the HTC rom, too much hassle for just $20.
why SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip can't unlock my Orange SPV E650?

Hello
Are there anyone who can help me Flashing my Wizard to a touch?
Pm me for my msn
My cid is locked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
as self explanatory as can be
Thats not my problem..
Okay, here it is:
My cousin has a S200 and i have a wizard, i went to him and he said "Oh yea, of course i know how", so we used a program i think Sspl and to the left there was a picture of his prophet and we pressed "upgrade" so my problem is now that i have a strange rom on my phone, and belive me, its VERY slow and when i want to see battery status it says "Unknown" and it doesnt recharge i think (No orange light). My phone is CID locked, so i want to unlock it, but when connecting to a computer it doesnt connect proberly. Fx. in Wizard service Tool i can "Enab. Rapi + Unsigned Apps" but i cant Read Cid, it says my device isnt connected. (Wish i could before) so i need help down grading to my old software and unlocking and finally, flash it to a touch...
Soz bad english
NB! Its G4 - This is my first Windows mobile flashing, but i am an expert on flashing Sony ericssons
Versions:
IPL 2.18.0001
SPL 2.18.0001
GSM 03.02.11

Hi,
Im have a G4 mda vario!
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21.0001
original software t-mobile.
Im trying to figure out the best way to upgrade to wm6. Some topics say to unlock CID but with a G4 you must pay for it. Other topic say use hard spl or soft spl is this also for CID unlocking?? I dont know annymore so can someone help me?? The steps I need to make to install wm6 on my device.
And for the best wm6 rom on htc wizard aka mda vario.
Thnx!
Kevin
i have tmobile mda vario
i am running tnt 1933 which seems to be for me at least the best all round rom. and its as stable if not more than stock wm5
i used soft spl.
you should read the instructions fully and make sure you are happy before proceding.
I recommend.
1) Hard reset
2) hook up to pc and run wizard service tool (search the forum) and use this to enable rapi and cert etc.
then run the soft spl.
I had problems first couple of times where it would go black then i get funny error in green text but never actually flashed anything. But i think the hard reset and enable rapi stuff fixed that.
hope thats of some use.
cant recommend tnt rom enough
if you want to save yourself an absolute tonne of mucking about and trying to figure everything out, i recommend you splash the cash and pay the £20 on http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
i have a g4 and used these guys, worked with absolute no issues, and im on the xmr5 rom ( or whatever its called )

the above recomendation are good , in fact that's what i have done to update my G4. I would only add to that rembember to save your current rom and extended rom before update. so you may downgrade if you have any problem with wm6.
Hi I have a G4 Prophet and the IPL and SPL version number reads 2.10.0001.
I would like to flash it to use a WM6.1 ROM with the touchflo type functionality and new IE Mobile features (i.e. zooming).
I have read through all the guides about carrying this out and have even started having a go but am getting confused about HardSPL.
From what I read HardSPL CID Unlocks your phone so that you can install a diffeerent Carrier (e.g. Orange, Vodaphone) ROM ... or in fact a home 'cooked' ROM off of this site.
I have tried manually carrying out the HardSPL using both the Prophet Tools GUI and the command line batch file HardSPL however after the procedure finishes my IPL and SPL do not read differently as all posts indicate (i.e. they do not read 2.G4.4PDA) ... instead they remain as 2.10.0001.
I have seen the phone go to the tri-colour bootloader screen and even the progress bar go up correctly however when it reboots it says 2.10.0001. I'm assuming that I cannot go ahead and flash with a ROM (such as the Shadow TE one until the SPL reads 2.G4.4PDA).
Can anyone offere me some help with getting to this?
Many thanks.

I would recommend you use something like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547 It makes it a one stop upgrade... That uses "JumpSPL" rather than HardSPL which is the short term option.
Thanks for the help I tried the alternative lazy tool and it worked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2141436&postcount=188) now my Orange SPV M600 has the Shadow Touch edition rom on it with the shadow cube addon, so far works a treat.
I would still be interested to know why the SPL version number did not change using the prophet tools or HardSPL on its own.
Anyway many thanks again.

What is your devices IPL?
It may be because Soft/Jump SPL was not executed properly prior to HardSPL (this is automated through the HardSPL tools and Prophet Tools).
