Issues with upgrading to WM6 - solved + tips

Hi guys
I know this has been asked a million times before, but trust me, I've tried following the tutorials posted her but with no luck.
So here goes:
I've tried flashing this ROM:
http://rapidshare.com/files/24185105/ruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_382120_026911_tmo_de_ger_ship.zip
via awizard but it stopped so I've unplugged it, got it into bootloader mode and flashed with the xplore WM6 ROM but it just hangs at the boot up screen after restarting.
G3 device
IPL 3.08
SP 3.08
GS 0.269.11
OS 3.8.2.2
Any ideas?

Was your wizard CID unlocked ?
I see that you have OS 3.8.2.2 , that is not my OS. It should have been 10.2.0.8.
That means your wizard might have been locked.

Very strange.
I did run CID-unlock first. It was running xplore before I tried flashing the tmobile rom, so maybe the images didn't get flashed.
Anything I can do to fix it?

Okay, I'm busy trying to flash the wizard_love rom. Been sitting at 96% for a while lets hope it goes further.

Okay, the upgrade went through. OS2.26
XDS-dev tutorials and the love rom for the win! Now I can relax again...
Will flash to WM6 soon.

Heh. So now that you have found the tutorials helpful, perhaps you'd consider changing the thread title?

Sorry about that, have changed it.
For some reason I can't get it back to WM6 but will try again and keep you guys posted. Device is definitely CID unlocked, but for some reason it keeps hanging at the boot screen.

OKay, assuming my wizard got CID-locked for some reason, how do I downgrade to ver1 to unlock it again?
I've downloaded button's ver1.05 rom. Can I just install it, or will it give me an error saying I need a newer ROM?
Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to take any chances.

Luke....use the Force... Follow the steps in the tutorial link (in my sig.) but the short answer is "yes".
--M

Hehe, thanks I've done that. Will try tomorrow, thanks.
I feel like a bit of a plonker asking so many questions with such obvious answers.

Okay, after a LOT of trial & error I've finally gotten it back to WM6. Here's what I did:
1)Downgraded to IPL/SPL 1.01 using button's ROM
2)CID unlocked using lokiwiz
3)Upgraded to mr_clean AKU2.3
4)Upgraded to Faria's WM6
I didn't use aWizard as usual, just the rom upgrade utilities that came with these ROMS.
Hope this helps anyone that's struggling with the same problems I've been having.
Thanks for the tutorials, they've been a great help. The only part that didn't work for me was upgrading to T-mobile's 2.26 because it would freeze on the bootup screen after upgrading to WM6. Replace that step with mr_clean 2.3 and it works fine.

hey how did you get your wizard_love rom to get past 96% without crashing? mine just gives me error 302, which is  ERROR [302~318] : UPDATE ERROR
any clue? thanks

Hi
I got the phone into bootloader mode then it worked fine. It got stuck at 94% iirc but I just left it until it finished.
Hope this helps

Wont Boot

I am a little confused. I have been trying to get WM6 on my T-mobile Wizard and actually got TNT 1.1 loaded and was working fine. I found that I could no longer view my contacts. The page would appear and then as quickly as it appeared it disappeared.
So I figured, I at least got it this far. I will just reload this rom and see if perhaps something did load right. Well after the reload. The phone boots up to the splash screen with IPL\SPL numbers and just sits. NOTHING.
I left it there for like 2 hours and still nothing. But I can still get into the BootLoader.
My questions to you gurus is:
Is the phone fubared?
Can I do some kind of master reset?
Why would it tell me "Invalid Vendor ID" when trying to flash the orginal T-mobile rom?
Are there any tools that can help me out? Paid\free?
Please help!!! Seriously! Please HELP!!!
Very much appreciated.
Thanks

if your device is G3, unlocking is required to flash any rom, before upgrade your device, it is recommended to flash an official WM5.0 rom (in your case T-Mobile rom) with IPL and SPL 2.xx then flash again.
in general there are many probabilities for your issue.
((Where is TNT1.1?? did you mean 1.0?? ))

My Bad meant 1.0
So to get it straight.... I will need to unlock my phone each time?
Oh and to correct myself again, when flashing with the T-mobile ROM it says UPGRADE ONLY. And the read me file says its the wrong RUU. But it is the same file from Tmobile I used when I first got the phone. But I will try again.
Are there any other suggestions?

You need to read the "how to flash" sticky.

I did. I am not any expert or anything but I believe the phone is unlocked already since I once had WM6 on my phone. The real issue I am having is that it wont boot past the splash screen after flashing.
And that is true when re following the steps in guide. After flashing to the button rom it will not boot past the splash screen.

Try another ROM.

Sounds like you need the "Wizard Love" rom. I dont have the link handy but I am sure someone else does.

Already got it. Thanks I am trying to load it now. But the only thing is that the last time it failed and I can understand what the error says. I know the number is 300 but can read the language.
But I will let you guys know when this load completes.
Thanks again for all the assistance.

No worky worky. The load completed and then boots the splash screen shows and then stays there.
Any ideas?

Try to remove the battery and let it out for at least half an hour. Then put it back in and see what it does then.

I thought the same thing too. So when it got done last night, out of frustration, I removed the battery and left it there to wait on when I get off work today. I will report back on what happens.
Again I would like to thank you guys for helping me. I really do appreciate it!

STEP 1 install the original manufacturer ROM
T-mobile UK
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
T-mobile US
http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
Search for the original rom for any other
instructions on how to use the original rom can be found here
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm23294.htm?&A2L.SERVICE=AboutUpgrading
Put it in the bootloader mode.. ( three color screens )
hope this helps..
cheers
Praneet

Ok I did that and it gave me ERROR 296: UPGRADE ONLY
Then it tells me that the NBF file cannot be used for my PDA Phone. Please get newer NBF file.
Is there any way I can get the Tmobile splash and IPL\SPL number back to original, it doesnt need to boot all the way into WCE but atleast show the same numbers and splash during boot up?
Or any other way to get this thing to work?
Thanks guys
BTW it is a HTC Wizard from T-mobile.

If you are getting an error 300 you need a newer rom update utility, and regardless if your phone is a G3 or G4 it needs to be unlocked before you flash any rom.. LOAD a OFFICIAL cingular ROM onto your device before going any further, then unlock your phone either via www.imei-check.com or through some of the tools offered here...

Which one should I down load from Cingular? Even though I have a Tmobile phone?

what ipl and spl are you using and what radio are you using. Just post all the numbers from the bootloader

As soon as I get home, I will post them.
Thanks

Ipl 1.01
Spl 3.08
Thanks

uh oh. someone tell me if I'm wrong, but I think this is bad. it's the result of flashing a g4 with g3 or the other way around... keep searching, and good luck.

flash the original t-mobile rom. your phone doesn't appear to be unlocked. good luck

Ok the thing is not working

Hello I have done all the Faria tutorial and got it unlocked and IPL AND SPL 3.08, but when I tried flashing a WM6 rom the process stuck at 6% and the update program gave me a "conection failure" error and then started a step by step recovery process... I have done it and now i´m with the 3 colors screen (red green blue) but I´m trying to flash a rom to it without success. why is that? can someone help me?

you need to read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314646

I hope you weren't flashing with vista. I think it requires the shell tool.

no, no vista.
I have followed EVERY instruction in the VIPPIE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 and FARIA tutorials, the problem was that when flashing it gave me a connection problem at 6% and then is not stuck in the bootloader screen. I hope my phone is not damaged since i´m in brazil. But I´ve tried several roms without success... they say problems with version OR with connection. Why can that be?

it stays a long time in "verifying the information on your PDA phone..." and then it returns those errors I´ve mentioned.

flash the stock Cingular ROM from HTC's website it will flash for you from the RBG screen

Once unlock...always unlocked unless you reversed the procedure.
If your flash of a custom rom fails again, your device is probably not CID unlock and you need to go thru the unlocking process again.

ok after fixing the problem with the n3rxs help I´ve flashed the Wizard Love rom to prepare to flash a WM6 rom. The Wizard love rom i´ve used has a Italian instalation program, is that right? after I installed it the cell phone keeps reestarting I can´t do anything in it, it only loops restarting... what´s that?

found the solution, had to keep the camera button pressed and then reset the device so it enters in BootLoad mode then I flashed a original cingular bios and after that upgraded to WM6 without a glitch!!

[SOLVED] Help! Upgraded my p4300 with TNT, now phone boots to TSOD! PLEASE HELP

Hello,
Today I upgraded my G4 HTC p4300 using the TNT ROM Pro+HTC Home. It is unlocked, but the splash screen was branded for Unicel.
The Upgrade seams to have worked on the computer end of it, but When I boot my device, it shows HTC Mobility logo, then goes to the Red, Green, Blue screen. If I plug it into the computer with USB, I hear the USB connection sound, and USB appears in the lower left hand corner of my p4300.Active Sync does not see my device. I tried Re-flashing the ROM and it gives me an error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Next time... Read this first.

Flash back to your original ROM or the Wizard Love ROM... Then follow the steps in the link above.

Is this(http://rapidshare.com/files/17792050/Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar) ROM ok for G4 Devices?
Edit- Hmm, this is spanish.

Does anyone know where I could find the original ROM, I see some people suggesting your ftp site, would that have it? If so, how would I login to it(eg. ftp site and user+pass).
Thanks

Ok, I attempted a flash with the spanish version and I got a connection error(264?).

Try the wizard love rom. It will work

BTW, your device is most probably cid locked. Read the guide in the wiki before doing anything else, unless you need a fancy paperweight for your office.

Thanks for your help, my device wasn't locked. Anyway, I sucussfully flashed AKU 2.3.

Help...Stuck on Boot screen

I have an old Prophet that refuses to boot to the Operating system. I see the Orange Logo screen with:
IPL 2.20.0001
SPL 2.20.0001
GSM 02.47.21
OS 2.10.1.22
I don't know if (a long time ago) I flashed a G3 phone with a G4 rom or what (would this be the result????).
I have also tried flashing all sorts of ROMs found on this site and even gone onto WIN 6 but it always halts the booting at this screen...
Can anyone help before this phone ends up in the bin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First you must flashed an WM5 Rom. Search for Qtek hier and read so many treads about this prob.

Thanks 4 the reply... I will have a go and see what happens.

I have now re-flashed a Qtec rom and still stuck on the boot screen with...
IPL 2.20.0001
SPL 2.20.0001
GSM 02.47.21
OS 2.20.7.34
Is there anyone out there with any idea how to get this phone back from the dead ??????

You have read the wiki ?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Prophet
You have download and flashed the qtek rom from this side ?
I don`t mean you do that.

I have followed the instructions on this site to recover my M600 but it STILL refuses to boot up....
I have tried various ROMs ect to no avail............
Can anyone out there resolve this ?????

Don`t cry like a little girl. What rom exactly have you flashed now ?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs
Are your battery over 50 % to flash ?

Battery is fully charged and the last ROM flashed was:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe
I have also tried this one:
Original-Shipped-ROMs/OrangeUK/Prophet_Orange_UK_ROM.zip
They both have the same result.

You start your phone - bring it in the bootloader modus -connect to pc - flashed the qtec rom you have - If this doesn`t go, I am on the end to help, and you are the first guy it doesn`t go. Sorry
P.S. Dissable Active Sync - Flash only with XP, no VISTA. No USB Hub - If you connect the device you must see in the left down corner USB and than flash

NEO.. I have done this and it will still not boot, maybe it's a hardware problem and it is well and truly "bricked"...
Thanks for your help and replies..... I will keep trying...

I had a similar Problem, have you tried a other ROM without IPL/SPL

Hello there,
I think I had a similar Problem, once I flashed some signed roms via
softspl (Neo Shadow 1.0), everything went okay till then.
I forgot the missing HardSPL on one of my Prophets and
Flashed with RUU Bikertibis 6.5 23007 wich worked fine
after flashing. Even with no hardspl it worked till flashing
the next rom...bricked.
Stucking in bootloader and even the Shiped WWE Rom with NVID
was not working. Stucking in the 3 color screen.
My Prophet was sold as TC-500 from german telekom,
so it had spl 2.56.001 wich only allowed Roms signet
by the vendor, also the NVID Rom you tried didn't worked.
but i kept trying and flashed RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_021921_QTEK_GER_Ship_NO_IPL_SPL.exe
don't know why, but it booted up with this rom.
After this i made a HardSPL and everthing is fine now.
if i read correct you have SPL 2.20.0001 so use G4 RUU.
Try flashing on XP X68! It's easier this way.
I use XP64 wich works to. disable powersaving
and everthing else what could interfer flashing.
good luck !
