Hi guys i'm pretty new in this scene and i did something stupid...
i've downloaded Win Mobile 6 from usenet and installed it without reading
anything. At 95% of the installation it hangs and when i try to recover it doesnt work. Now i only have the screen with the green red and blue at the background. I've tried a hard reset but that doesnt work either and i tried to search by google and found nothing.
Am i right that i had to remove some kind of G4 lock? And does somebody know how to help me getting things started again.....
thnx in advance.

do your carriers flash and let it fully finish. Once thats done, read a little on making sure your device is unlocked and once you get that done, youll be ready to move to the next level.
what your device is g3 or g4?
how do i perform such a flash and how can i see what kind of G3/4 i have??
If you got a G4 or G3 IPL/SPL 2.x:
Try flasing wizard_love rom from the bootloader screen.
If you got IPL/SPL 1.x:
flash button_rom from the bootloader screen.
damn thats a whole mouth full and i dont get it how its intended.....
perhaps you can tell me in dutch or in a language a stupid fool can understand

You should provide more information... What phone model is this? Is it a G3 or G4? What is your IPL / SPL? What did you do before this started happening? Was the battery fully charged before you started this process? Did your PC give you errors when you tried to do teh initial flash that started this process?
The more information you provide the better we can help.
If your phone won't stay turned on when its on the bootloader (rainbow screen) then either your battery is almost dead, or you may have bricked your phone. But we need more details.
this happened to me once, i almost had an heart attack.. but anyway.. what u get there is the bootloader mode, which is you can still save the phone.. when this happened to me, all i did was, i upgraded to original tmobile rom, and from there i ve used shell tool to upgrade to wm6 (my wizard is not unlocked but shelltool takes care of that and u dont have to worry).. its really easy.. let me know what happened.. no worries
Dont worry guys... I think most of us here, faced the same things before, Me included.
Everybody here is quite nice and will help u in any way we can..
Just do some research and fact finding before u flash your rom..
One of the article that I think is very helpful to me is Dr P post on how to unlock and flash your wizard.
If you have any problem or question after reading that, just ask.
Hopefully u can find your answer and your wizard are all healthy..

my phone is G4...first, when i tryed to change the rom, on 95% was blocked..and i have wait about 20 minutes, and nothing...the spl is....01...the battery was quite full, but after several tries, i don't know now how it is (i supose to be from the battery, but i still need a very good rom for it)
ok.. here are the steps.. its very easy.. i had the samething..
your phone is probably CID locked and you will need a shelltool to install that ROM.. so what you need to do is just download the original tmobile ROM.. and connect the phone and install the original ROM.. You didnt birck the phone because you get the bootloader screen.. which means, you can still save the phone..
anyway.. connect the phone via usb and install after you install the original wm5, download the shelltool from here and follow the instructions.. and install the ROM via shelltool.. Then you should be good to go with the new
wm6.

Simple: Go to the Wizard Upgrading forum and in the stickies is a post by Dr. Putingham on how to CID Unlock your device. Scroll to the bottom of the first post and there is a direct link to pull the Tmobile 2.26 official ROM.
But as EasyMob suggested (and gave a link to) you may be better off with teh Wizard Love rom since you are a G4 device. Wizard Love ROM is very good at recovering G4 devices.

If you read my previous post, I gave you exactly how to find the link (Hint, its in the first post of Dr. Putingham's sticky in the Wizard Upgrading forum and the title is about How to CID Unlock your device. Was that too hard?
i believe you, but i can't find it...and about 3 days i'm hopeless, because with any ROM version, the phone is still restarting, after reflashing (i didn't flash it with tmobile original rom)...please please, give me the link of the topic...
I understand all the stickies that are posted before this post and all the other people who has had the same issues but I really need an anwser to this question that I have not found yet...
I have followed all the steps in every tutorial I have found in this forum for my phone to be upgraded to WM6 (shelltool, "follow these easy steps", etc..) but everytime I follow these steps word for word I always end up in the same start up screen (where IPL/SPL & OS is shown)...
What am i doing wrong? Should I update my radio (2.25) to "2.19" before or after installing the new rom? I mean thats the only conclusion that I come up with...by the way I tried that and I got one screen farther, its just that I got the startup intro bleep and the white screen of eternity....help anyone?
Cingular 8125 G4 (CID/SIM Locked)
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL " "

OS 2.25.1.11 (lastest WM5 cingular update)
-IF everyone decides to tell me to look it up, well fine, I guess I'll have no choice and spend another two weeks of searching the endless database....
You have a G4, shouldn't you be using LokiWiz to CID unlock it first?

thanks alot!
hope it works!
DO NOT USE LOKIWIZ!!! you have been misinformed. if you have a G4, Lokiwiz will not unlock your phone and might brick it.
I don't think G4's can be CID unlocked with that tool.
When using shell tool, make sure that you have first installed Cert_SPCS and EnableRapi to your phone. Wait approx. 2 minutes, then soft reset. After soft reset, make sure the time and date are correct on the phone ( I can't get successfully flash unless I do this), then turn off the radio. Run shelltool. Some ROMS don't give an end message. If I haven't gotten an end message in 20 minutes, I open the task manager and end shelltool and pdocwrite in that order, then hard reset.
Good luck.
oh yeah, G4s can only be unlocked via IMEI-check.

thanks for the warning, i guess i can try waiting 2 mins after installing both cabs and checking the date and time...
I don't update my radio until after flashing a new ROM.
One way that I know I've had a successful flash is that approx. 10 -15 seconds after the IPL/SPL screen loads, the screen will dim just a little bit. If you aren't looking for that, you might not even notice that the screen is just a little bit dimmer. If I don't see that, I will flash Wizard Love and start the whole Shelltool process again.
Also, the first boot takes a little bit longer than normal.
Make sure b4 you go ahead and flash G4, read all about it. Its easier to Brick G4 than G3.
I looked at your initial post again and the IPL/SPL indicates that you have a G3 not a G4. A G4 will have 2.25.0001 instead of 2.25.001. Check that again. If you have a G3, you don't have to use Shelltool, but will have to use Lokiwiz after all.
make sure that you hard reset after fnish to flash with shelltolls
if this dont work, first apply shelltools and then a wm6 rom
always works here!

Hi I need yr urgent help - as when i download wm 6.0 i am stuck at 99% and then it does not proceed further - spent an antire day at this situation - pls advise & apprciate yr kind help.
Ok,
I have posted this problem in a couple of threads, but it always seems to get lost in the page after page of other questions.
Here is my problem. I have been reading this forum for weeks in preparation of upgrading my Cingular 8125. I got it 2 weeks ago, but still spent another week reading the tutorials and FAQ's so I wouldn't be a nuisance poster. Well things have gone so badly that I really need help.
I have a Cingular 8125, IPL/SPL 2.25 I have button flashed it over 20 times and I get an IPL of 1.08, but my SPL is still 2.25. I have tried other flashing methods, other files. I tried Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102. I have cleared the computer with nothing running. Booted and re-booted. I have gone back to 2.25 and tried button again and again.
I am so disappointed because I have spent so much time at this site, but can't even get past the first step towards flashing a new ROM. Please, any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like your phone is CID locked (this is something different as SIM-locked btw). I do not really know if this also affects whether or not you are able to flash IPL/SPL but it affects flashing the OS for sure.

13. You will see a screen that has ...
U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)
Q. Quit
first key in "U" to unlock and then
you should key in letter "C" for cid unlock .
check step #16 you will see
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.

You ran lokiwiz and it worked with an SPL of 2.25? It is my understanding that both IPL/SPL need to be 1.xx for lokiwiz to work. I'll give it a try though.

as i state , follow that step thru slowly and carfully, you will get it done. But first remember by heart that you have to make sure that you got a "G3" or "G4" ...very IMPORTANT

Hoang,
Thanks for your replies. I'm sure it is a G3 because my IPL/SPL are 2.xx, not 2.xxx, which I have read is how you tell the difference. I have followed that post word for word.
I have been hitting "U" as the post states and it always fails. I assumed it was because my unit has not downgraded completely following step 2, so I didn't think step 4 would work until step 2 was done right.
But I will try your way as soon as I'm done my coffee and report back. Thanks again for your help.

You're on the right track
In addition to the great help that Hoang and other members have given you, I would suggest having the Wizard Unlocking Wiki and Dr Puttinghams Definitive unlocking guide within arm’s reach. Both of these compliment vippies tutorial. Here they are:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Unlocking
Two months ago, I unlocked my 8125 G3 (2.25 IPL/SPL) with no problems refering to all three of the tutorials (I just wanted to be safe).
After you initially downgrade your ROM to the Button ROM (you would only perform this step once)….
You only have to worry about having the same values for both the IPL/SPL after you run Lokiwiz twice (once for sim unlock and the second for the CID unlock). Your wizard will reboot both times, if you did it correctly.
At this point is when you need to make sure that your IPL/SPL are the same (i.e., 1.xx). If it isn’t, then you would be required to run the Button Rom again.
Somebody has gone through the same problems as you have experienced…check out this old thread from last year:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277248&highlight=successfully
Stupid me. I am the perfect example of people who have read things over and over and still missed something.
When running lokiwiz, I copied the enablerapi.cab to my phone, but failed to go back to my phone and extract it.
Everything is perfect now. Phone is SIM and CID unlocked and I am already playing with the ne TNT 5.0 Touchflo edition.
Thanks to Hoang, reynavictor and everyone else who responded.
well, we should thanks to all the people who wrote up the instruction, and all those programer that create new rom for us to flash.
keep in mind that , there will be more new people like you and me suufer thru the unlock step. so prepare to help them out as paying forward ..

Same issue
Hey I had the same issue with my 8125 on my first attempt. Again, read the tutorials, very important.
This is how my 8125 really became cid unlocked:
[First I used Lokiwiz2 to cid unlock. I then flashed the button rom. When I flashed I had IPL 1.xx and SPL 2.25. I ran the lokiwiz2 again and successfully cid unlocked (prior to this I received an error from lokiwiz). This 2nd unlock attempt with the button rom did it for me. After the cid unlock, I reflashed the button rom and both IPL, SPL were 1.xx.]
Now flash an OEM rom (Tmo or Cingular) so you dont have memory leaks. Now your ready to flash a WM6 rom.
Hope this helps.
I have a wizard G3, with wm5 running. I tried to flash it to wm6 I have read all the threads related to flashing and followed all the neccessary steps. After I sucessfully flash the new rom, the wizard boots up with the wm5 rom as if I did not do any flashing.

Yep... He's right...
Because it is a G3, you NEED to CID unlock your device before you can flash anything other than the manufacturer or carriers rom.
Read this thread over and over again untill you are sure you understand EVERYTHING. Once you are ABSOLUTELY SURE you understand every word in this thread, then follow the steps 100%. DO NOT skip any steps or try to shortcut the process if that's even possible. THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME...

Once you are certain your device is CID unlocked, then you can begin experimenting with WM6 roms.

thank you very much, i followed your directions, CID unlocked my phone, downloaded botton's 1.05, flashed then reflashed with WM6 and it worked just fine... thank you sooo much
Umm, your welcome I guess. I didn't really help you, merely pointed in you in the right direction.
Glad it was what you needed though...
I've always fancied flashing my Kaiser (V1615) with a new ROM, but was always nervous because I wasn't sure of the process and didn't want to risk bricking the phone as well as all the effort needed to get everything back on it I needed. Well, a few days ago my old Kaiser met the floor and an untimely end. So I decided to take the risk and put a new ROM on it and decided on the latest Dutty WM6.1 ROM.
I read all about flashing on here and made as much sense of it as I could. Thing is, I'm very technical in general, but not very familiar with Windows Mobile or flashing. I found there was lots to read, but it was all written with an assumed level of knowledge and understanding of terminology. As a result I found it quite hard to understand. I took the plunge anyway and started, but things didn't work out as expected and I didn't understand why.
I'm not trying to be critical of all the work a lot of people have put into the documentation that is available online, it's just that when I originally approached this with zero flashing experience I found it difficult and confusing to understand. What I really needed was a concise and basic introduction to flashing. I've now been through the process and after re-reading the documentation it makes a lot more sense.
I worked out you need to run something called HardSPL before you could flash a new ROM. I'm still not sure what HardSPL does apart from CID unlock the device, but what does CID unlock mean?
I ran HardSPL v1 and it started ok, but then I ended up with a white screen. At this point I already wished I hadn't started, but no going back now. Is it known why some phones white screen? Turns out it's a common problem, so followed the instructions to recover. All was well again, but still with the original ROM.
I thought I'd be brave and stuck with it and this time tried JumpSPL1.56-KAIS instead of HardSPL as recommended on one of the tutorials. This went better and I ended up with the Tri-Color screen. I plugged my USB cable in and USB showed on screen.
Next step I thought was to flash a ROM onto the device. I ran the Dutty updater on my PC and all started ok, but when the update got to 18% I received a communication error. I tried to recover using the updater, but the same thing happened. At this point the phone wouldn't boot, so I was more than a little worried and wishing I hadn't started!
Found something that described several options for recovering from this problem. I decided to try and flash the device back to the original ROM from Vodafone. When I eventually found that ROM I ran JumpSPL again, got to the Tri-Color screen and ran the updater. This time the update completed successfully and the phone rebooted and was all working again.
I decided to leave the device as it was and started customising it myself. I'd still love to put a cooked ROM on there, especially if it helps with performance, but after the experience above I'm not very confident.
Can anyone tell me where or what went wrong? I'm going to get my old Kaiser repaired and want to try again on that phone.
My flashing routene (not ideal but it works for me)
1) run the first part of the Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer
2) after device reboots, hold camera button and restart to check SPL
3) Flash rom/radio of choice
4) Follow HardSPL v3.07, v3.28, v3.29 and v3.56 by JockyW 's second guide "If you have problems with the above process, try this:" and flash my 3.XX SPL of choice.
Sam
Wow, I need a cuppa now
I'll go through 1 at a time... (and Sam has answered some questions already)
-CID unlock means that when the phone is loading a new device into the ROM the Carrier ID check is removed, each Mobile phone carrier has a different CID in thier OS ROMs. Unlocked means you can flash a OS ROM from any carrier or a cooked OS ROM from this site.
-The Jump SPL should only be used for replacing the SPL. Do not flash anything other than SPL's when at the Jump SPL (or SSPL). OS and Radio ROMs should be flashed from either in Windows Or By Manually Entering the Bootloaders. More info on SPL's is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions?
-Have a look at flashing from SD Card to avoid communication problems, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
-The most clear instructions can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice, but this is what I normally encounter when I read something on here, which is advice which no doubt makes perfect sense to the author or others experienced in flashing, but usually raises more questions than it answers in my head.
For example;
1) run the first part of the Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer

What do you mean by the "first part"? The thread you've linked to doesnt really explain what I'm downloading and doing.
2) after device reboots, hold camera button and restart to check SPL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok. I get this assuming you mean the device will reboot automatically and I restart it to check the SPL version that gets shown on the boot screen, but why do I need to do this?
3) Flash rom/radio of choice
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So at this point I can simply plug my device into my PC and run the ROM updater I've downloaded. Working out what rom/radio version to download is a minefield in its own right.
4) Follow HardSPL v3.07, v3.28, v3.29 and v3.56 by JockyW 's second guide "If you have problems with the above process, try this:" and flash my 3.XX SPL of choice.

I thought HardSPL needed to be run before I flashed? Also, why the different versions? Which one do I choose?
BTW, not trying to moan about everything, just posting my experiences to find out where I went wrong, but also highlight some issues hopefully other flashing newbies can relate to and authors of tutorials can draw some useful feedback from.
Only one question, do I need to CID Unlock before using Jump and HardSpl or, the Hardspl does the Supercid ?
I'm not referring about SIM since I don't care, for now
With WM6.1 - Oficiall HTC ROM

Thanks for that one dave, on reflection i kinda missed the whole point of the thread, and as for the majority of the stuff you posted i didnt undertand that to begin with.
Also, DaveTME, if you are wanting to flash a custom rom to youre kaiser. from my experiance and from the number of times ive seen this happen. i advise against asking for reccomendations(sp?) (not saying you will but its worth saying) try a few roms out and decide from there.
Also another thing to note. if you flash to WM6.1 remember to use a 3.xx spl otherwise you'll encounter a few problems with youre device.

What do you mean by the "first part"? The thread you've linked to doesnt really explain what I'm downloading and doing.

download the Kaiser unlocker and run the first stage of it, the program is in the linked thread.
Ok. I get this assuming you mean the device will reboot automatically and I restart it to check the SPL version that gets shown on the boot screen, but why do I need to do this?

No, after the device reboots, youre given youre Rom, Protocol and Radio. if you hold the camera button and reset you'll get youre SPL displayed, youre looking for 1.01 olinex to be shown
So at this point I can simply plug my device into my PC and run the ROM updater I've downloaded. Working out what rom/radio version to download is a minefield in its own right.

1) Yes, just run the RUU with youre chosen rom and thats it
2) its not a minefield, just make a decision on what rom you like and flash it. theres nothing to stop you flashing another one.
I thought HardSPL needed to be run before I flashed? Also, why the different versions? Which one do I choose?

The 1.01 SPL will allow you to flash a cutom rom. following that you need a 3.xx SPL as they are designed for windows mobile 6.1. as for yure decision. i use 3.29, yet other users have had better sucess with 3.56. Most rom chefs will say which SPL they reccomend anyway with their rom.
-CID unlock means that when the phone is loading a new device into the ROM the Carrier ID check is removed, each Mobile phone carrier has a different CID in thier OS ROMs. Unlocked means you can flash a OS ROM from any carrier or a cooked OS ROM from this site.

Great. Thanks for that. Makes perfect sense now
-The Jump SPL should only be used for replacing the SPL. Do not flash anything other than SPL's when at the Jump SPL (or SSPL). OS and Radio ROMs should be flashed from either in Windows Or By Manually Entering the Bootloaders. More info on SPL's is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions?

Ok. I think you mean that the SPL is a component on the device? What is the difference between HardSPL and JumpSPL?
-Have a look at flashing from SD Card to avoid communication problems, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
-The most clear instructions can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Hope this helps.

Read the "SPL Questions" Wiki Page, it is all there and fairly clear.
