Have a problem with unlocking my new G3 device (never had problems with the old one until it died ). When trying to downgrade/unlockcid using downgrade_and_unlockcid_v01 utility after executing dowgrade.bat I get following message: "could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, may be it is in use?"
tried to solve the problem by running SDA_ApplicationUnlock before trying to downgrade but still nothing. Dear Guru, please tell me, where the problem might be?
ok, found a kinda solution, will download pdamobiz app for aku2 , but don't know if it would work.
___________
nah, did not work any suggestions?
Still need one for G4.......anything ?

I have problems with the latest dopod ROM and cant change it.
I have tried using this ROMUpdateUtility and it started flashing the rom, but when it got to 95% it said:
Error [326]: INVALID COMMAND
This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your NBF file.
what is wrong?
please help I am stuck
G'Day Grill Oven!
Sorry not a fix - but I've done the same thing when my newie JAMin wouldnt see my SD anymore (it wasnt the SD at fault)
THe Telstra patch at imate seems to do *something* sometimes...but no others will downgrade that I've found, but default.
I just wish I could get rid of this stupid thing now... 7 days old and never worked properly!
(I just found this for my fault - http://www.modaco.com/lofiversion/index.php/t109542.html)
I'm searchin around - will keep ya posted if I find a fix.....
Hi there,
My currently installed Rom was RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-r1.exe. (thank you jester for you good job)
Nevertheless, this ROM is in English and I wanted to downgrade to a French One before the selling of my device.
I have tried to install the downgrade kit detailed in this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267344
The first step went OK but while trying to make the secnd step, my qtek is blocked at the boot splash screen showing the Jesterz picture and red information about the SPL and so on on the upper left corner... without starting... The USB connexion is not detected so I can't do anything... While trying to install any ROM, the USB connection is not detected ang I get an error message...
Did I kill my phone ?
Please help ! Tell me that it's not dead....
Don't worry, its nowhere close to being dead. If you have superCid, then use the SD card image to restore in bootloader mode. However, if the Cid is locked, then you would need a utility that can unlock Cid without Activesync mode (coz in your case, you would not be able to get an Activesync connection). imei-check.co.uk has a utility ($38 i guess) that unlocks Cid in bootloader.--- else show it to a professional. (in my country, I would have to shell out around $20 to get such a problem fixed at a mobile repair shop)

Just take out the battery for about 10 minutes and re-insert. If it does not re-start, do a soft resert with the stylus and hopefully you should be fine
Hy,please help!
after downgrade, it doesnt work anymore.... i mean... i cant start the mobile!
after the downgrade i disable the USB data cable and now the mobile is dead... it doesnt starts from the ON/OFF Button and even if i connect the USB cable it makes nothing! No Led on... nothing! absolutly DEAD!!!
I have tried to put off the battery all night long with no result.. but I have achieved to reach the bootloader mode by pressing the camera button while soft reseting and keeping the camera button pushed...
OMG, I have been so scared ! ! !
Try this in order to reach the bootloader:
Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camara + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and KEEP PRESSING camara button till appear the Boot Loader.)
it doesnt work
I seem to have a simular problem. this is my post in another topic. It seems to fit better here.
This is what I tired so far:....
I used the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_S hip-NoVendorID and it often hangs and was slow with Push Email over GPRS.
I tried to find a way to downgrade but hadn't had time sofar. When I logged on XDA Developers Site I saw there was a new Image.
So I thought Great I dont need to find how to downgrade.
I don't know what G4 and G3 is so as everybody let's try the higest best one.
I uploaded the RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU3.3-Jester-b1
Wrong...
Now as previously stated I get to the multicolor screen with IPL 2.09 and the SPL 2.20..0001 on the screen and that's it.
I can get to the bootloader and load the same image again and get the same result.
I can load another image on and it loads to 80 Percent and says error [326] Invalid Command This NBF cannot be used with your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file.
If I try an older Version it tells me upgrad only
And when I try to upload the G3 version it tells me error[300] invalid upgrade tool. This upgrade utility canot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Upgrade utility.
Trying to use the nf.nbf or the G3 with the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID of the G4 doesn't work either.
If I would like to do the downgrade tool I need a Active Sync connection which I don't have.
I have no more thoughts. Please Help.
If you would have just read the forums better you would have known if your device is a G3 or a G4. (read this!).
Now it appears you have tried both for an update. Which may possibly have bricked your phone.
But... first things first. Can you get into the bootloader? (read wiki HERE on how to do that).
If you can still get into the bootloader then there is still a possibility for updating.
Try upgrading with the latest Qtek rom (note: this is an official rom, this one works for both G3 and G4! And since it's the latest you should be able to upgrade to this one).
Instructions quoted from another post of me:
You could try the 2.20 qtek rom which seems to be working well for quite some people (found here).
Although you have to make sure you read that thread good and use the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe (found here ) to upgrade.
Update instructions:
1: With the qtek 2.20 rom you need to extract the zip and the exe file in the zip with WinRAR.
2: Then there is one folder called 'OutputFile' and a folder called 'RUU_TOOLS'.
Inside the RUU_TOOLS there is prophet and in that one WWE, when you go through them and in the WWE folder you see a bunch of files (readme.doc, enterbootloader.exe etc etc).
You need to copy ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to the WWE folder with all the files. And you also need to copy the 'nk.nbf' file to the WWE folder (from the 'OutputFile' folder).
3: And then you need to put your phone in bootloader mode and run ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to upgrade, which should work nicely then.

This should give you a good enough idea of what to do. This should work (new rom combined with no NoID updater).
However, if it's impossible to get yourself into the bootloader your options of upgrading your device are getting smaller.
Downgrading of a complete rom is only possible on a CID unlocked G3 (when it's CID unlocked you would know! because you would have done that yourself) and not on a G4 device.
Flasing a G3 device with a G4 rom or G4 device with a G3 rom might possibly turn your phone into a brick. This can easily be avoided by reading the forums properly and know what you are doing.
If anything (even if it's a small thing) is not completely clear to you about upgrading/downgrading your device I'd recommend not doing so.
edit: oh yeah... if you have a G4 device (which you should know by now) you cannot downgrade from this rom (well, only via a payed online service). And when you have a G3 device you could try and CID unlock it (read wiki + forums) before you want to downgrade, or don't downgrade at all.
But whatever you do, don't try to downgrade it without doing any of those things because you'll get into trouble. (to put it down bluntly)

If you have reached the bootloader screen, just run my installer (or any official ROM) to get your phone working again.
My Prophet Died
I need help, to restore my Prophet, i upgrade wrong rom, i need will try the SD Backup, where can i see this process ?
Sorry my Inglish is too bad.
I've merged a couple of threads under this one, as they are all about the same problem (mostly)
Opening a new thread for the same problem isnt very useful
Hi RaptorRVL
Thank you very much for your patience in resuming all this for me.
I do try to read the forum but it isn't like a manual where you find the procedure stepby step. Like the G3 and G4 version I have newer come across until now. Sorry.
I tried the image you metioned and I have the result that at 80% it tells me error [326] Invalid Command This NBF cannot be used with your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file
Any more thoughts?
As you seem to be an expert Can you let me know more about goldcard solution.
Cheers
Mick
From a readme I once found inside an update:
* ERROR [320~328] : INVALID COMMAND
These errors seldom occur. However, if one of these errors occur, it could not be recovered and the device had to be sent back to the customer service center. In this case, you have to flash a new ROM code.

Doesn't sound too good really. Maybe someone else here on the forums know what to do with this error :/
You did use the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe and not the normal updater right? Can remember someone getting a similar error when using the wrong updater, but I'm not sure about that though...
edit: try doing a search on the prophet forums for "INVALID COMMAND" maybe there is a helpful post in there somewhere...
THANKS!! I was worried b/c i had the same problem today. I've been looking for so many threads abt this problem. Thanks for ur help guys!
same problem
so i have the same problem. I want to downgrade and it break at 95% invalid file. But now XDA is still alive. I can`t go into the bootloader but i tried this file: RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe
and now my Prophet is still running again. Hope i can help you. Good luck.

Hi there,
I have a MDA Vario (G4) from T-Mobile and after following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
I was able to install Faria's ROM on my Wizard but now i'm having some problems:
1 - I still have to watch that ugly bootscreen
(by the way, are those version numbers "right"?)
2 - Every time i reboot it i get this error about sddaemon
Problem solved:
knwlsh said:
As far as the error - your item 2...
Use Total Commander to search for sddaemon and then delete the link that it finds - you don't need it
Click to expand...

3 - I often get this error about TimeWizard.exe
4 - As you can see on the previous photo, the memory is running low and so I everytime i try to syncronize with ActiveSync 4.5 (Beta2) i get this
Can anyone help me on those?
Thx
(Forgot to say thank you to Faria and Mun_rus. So... Thanks a lot!)
Ok 1. Are you CID unlocked, cus if you are not then the rom may not take correctly. It would be better if you had IPL/SPL at 2.26
Download and downgrade to the USA T-Mobile 2.26 rom. (At work so no time to find this for you, if you have not got it by the imte i get home i will update with a link)
Then try upgrading again to the WM6 rom, you may find that will sort all your problems!
The rom you should be able to find
HTML:

Did you flash with shell tool? I think that you have no extended rom flashed, only OS.

DON'T use the 2.26 rom.... u've got a G4 and can't update IPL/SPL!
I downloaded this ROM
http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/Software_Detail.cfm?ID=80
and tried to flash it but when it starts (the PPC screen turns red,green,blue) it gives me an error msg on the PC saying "ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID"
(this PPC came from UK)
I tried to use the mun_rus How To with this ROM but apparently it stayed the same.
From the UK T-Mobile i can only find this http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
but i think this is what a I have now running.
Ideas???
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the Extended Rom i followed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1172768&highlight=extended+rom+g4#post1172768
but i will double check it the next time i flash my Wizard.
(deleted - the same as the above)
Problems Aswell
Sorry if this has been mentioned many atime before but my rom is like really slow sometimes and most of the time on the today screen only the time/date is shown and no other items. Also when turning on the device sometimes it doesnt get pass the boot screen (green one) and is resolved by taking the battery out which is annoying. Someone said by putting the orginal factory rom then installing farias rom then it will improve - tried that same thing. And outlook wont let me change email type from plain text to html.
Anybody Know???

Hey,
I just did the SAME upgrade you did and I am getting the same
timewizard.exe popup!
however, my rom upgrade went ok , about the only thing different is I restored a backup including my registry to get all my programs back.
I have EVERYTHING working on wm6 with faria except for the annoying
popup.

Is that a WM5 backup you restored? WM6 has stuff in the registry in different places. You've probably added a bunch of keys that shouldn't be there, and in the wrong place.
Also, WM6 PIM database is different format. If you restored that, its likely thats been hosed too.
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.

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

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
Hi everybody,
maybe anyone can still help me.
It seems it kind of f''''d my Device by installing SPB Software, at least it doesn't boot anymore, neither does Hardreset work out.
So the last Solution might be flashing the ROM via bootloader.
When starting the Update-Utility i always get stuck with a Connection Error (262).
yes, yes, i use Windows Vista (get the same error with XP btw).
I also installed the latest USB Driver and upgraded WMDC to 6.1 using the HowTo in the Hermes Section of this board, but unofrtunately it does not work either.
Still Error 262...
Any advice highly appreciated :-(
p.s.: i started another thread since the other one mainly deals with my hardreset problems and seems ppl dont read it anymore. excuse me if i get annoying, but im getting a bit desperate
