Congratulations.
You might want to give some more info. Is your device a G3 or a G4?
Perhaps flasing it with the 2.20 qtek rom might work, because I believe LsvW uses that as a base for his modded ROM. Intructions are in that thread.
Can you still get into the bootloader? Because that's vital in reflashing the device. Bricked = when you cannot get into bootloader anymore :/
When I tried to flash with the LsvW rom my device would get stuck in bootloader and then I fixed it by upgrading with the qtek rom.
But! this will not mean this is the same on your device. So a little bit more info about where it hangs, what steps you took etc etc is better so we can help you.

still downloading the qtek rom. i will tell how it goes. tanks
I don't have any experience with G3 devices, but...
My only guess is that you might try to unlock it so you can downgrade without any problems.
I just don't have any idea how to do that (other than reading the wiki ). So maybe someone who might have been in the same situation knows and is willing to help you... Perhaps you first need to get it running again before you can unlock.
But you only have a black screen and can't get into the bootloader? That doesn't sound too good :/ Have you tried getting into the bootloader with pressing the camera button and then reset (while holding the camerabutton)? (explaination found here)
If that works there is still hope
Problem solved

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?
--M
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
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.

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!!
Hy everyone. I tried installing NBD 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 on my phone today and it goes well. It says it has finished updating my phone and then when I start my phone, it says its being customized and I see everything being installed. After it is done installing, it resets. When it resets it is just the same old thing. It looks the same way it did when I first bought the phone. Im using a Cingular 8125 if it makes any difference. Thanks.
Your phone is still CID locked.
Follow this tutorial to unlock it, and follow the steps closely.
i wouldnt follow that tutorial just yet. You still need to give us a little more information like if your wizard is a G3/G4. You can only cidunlock your wizard if it is a G3.
I wonder why newbies are always told to CID unlock...
Shelltool works perfectly for flashing new OS (I flashed my CID locked G4 at least 6 times) and there should not be any risk of bricking the phone...

I agree! I'd been flashing my G4 phone from about 5 months ago with different ROMs (almost continuously)... ShellTool is the best tool that I tried to flash ROMs without risk.
Cheers!

nobody bothers to read anymore and dont know what the search link looks like. The just jump on the bandwagon. But its true i had a hard time following some instructions but i got through it.
Really??
I used shelltool 2 times without problem, but then i get the 1 time a message - flashing done after 8 minutes and the flash wasnt really on the phone. Since then i use RUU (which is in the love wizard rom package) and it works for me.
Today i tried flashing nbd 8.3 to faria aku 3.3 and other faria rom with aku 4. In both casec the flashing stoped at 99% and i had to reflash it with nbd rom.
The flash didnt end , cause i have cid-locked phone?? I would like to have a newer aku(i have 2.3). HELP
I used Shelltool to install the rom I had. It finished after about ten minutes, and then I hard reset my device.
Whenever I start my phone up now it just hangs on the Cingular start up screen and this is what it says.
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
OS 6.6.6.666
Any idea what went wrong or if there is any way to fix this?
Thanks
Are you using Vista?
Nope. I used Windows XP Pro.
I had the same problem with shelltool on xp pro sp2. Get the phone in bootloader mode and flash again. Maybe with RUU , which is in the wizard love rom package. Just replace the .nkb file (rom file) to one u want.
I don't like this topic name. It should be: "I don't know how to install new rom"
A few advices from long time shelltool user
(I used it to flash "faria real thing", several version of "crossbow reloaded", "xda mobile", "pandora", "wrcx3"). I am on a locked G4 phone.
a) I always start by flashing the original ROM of my provider (in my case T-Mobile CZ) in normal way. This may not be a needed, but I read that it is *recommended*to flash your provider's ROM to have some stable base. It takes about 10 minutes or so.
b) Afterwards I flash using shelltool (see shelltool documentation how it is done)
Possible problems with shelltool
a) It does not end and the flashed phone seems to be frozen (clock is not updated etc.):
No problem, flash is done. After 30 minutes from the flash start just take your phone, do the hard reset and everything will work ok.
This (shelltool not ending) happens often, but as I said - it is no problem.
b) The wrong flash
Either the shelltool is interrupted prematurely or it the phone freezes during restart afterwards.
No problem, just reflash your provider's ROM in normal way and try again shelltool.
This happens only very rarely and I never went through this more than once.
Conclusion
Since the shelltool is limited to flashing only OS, you should not ever brick your phone in this way... The most you can do is to screw up your OS - which can be quickly recovered by flashing the official ROM from your provider.
Flashing by normal way is more dangerous: if you flash a locked phone with the ROM containing more than just OS, you can easily brick your phone (if you flash ROM just with the OS you will wonder that nothing has changed - at least this is like I understand it).

I have to agree with you Zoki. Has nothing to do with your ROM.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or anything. I just thought I did it the right way the first time and that something went wrong but not on my part because I followed directions doing it. I'm not saying anything bad about the rom. Sorry!!
I'll try to do it with the RUU then. Thanks a lot.
Hi
I've recently got a wizard G4, and wasn't impressed with the default O2 OS that came with it. I quite liked the look of the slim edition v2.2 ROM (link below)
WM6.1 Slim Edition v2.2 - as fast as it gets
However after reading the G4 flashing tutorials, I was made aware of the fact that any ROM with IPL/SPL included is unsuitable for G4.
G4 users must be very careful with the ROM they select. The ROM has to be "G4 Safe", in other words contain only the OS, Radio, or Splash Screens. If you flash a ROM that contains IPL/SPL information, your device will become bricked(unless you flash the IPL/SPL using SoftSPL first --See Removing HardSPL tutorial below). If you're not sure if a given ROM is G4 safe, ask.

The Slim Edition ROM has some bundled software, but I'm not sure if thats IPL/ISL. Could anyone tell me if its suitable for a G4, and if not, if theres any chance of modifying it to become suitable?
Thanks in advance!
PS. I know this probably doesn't deserve its' own thread, but I didn't really get a reply when I asked on the official thread. Also, sorry if I'm asking stuff thats been asked lots before, I am new to this, and have done my best to read up on this.
Worked fine on my G4 wizard...
on my G4 it worked fine too
Remove the IPL/SPL, if any.
Thanks a lot for the quick replies, I'll have a go at flashing it...
More Problems
I have got HardSPL (the warranty's run out) flashed, however, the actual WM6.1 ROM update tool returns error 300, saying it cannot update my PDA, a newer utility is required (I can't remember exact text).
Could this be to do with me using ActiveSync, which loses the connection when the phone restarts?
Uploaded are the Wizard Service info log and the error
Thanks for any help!
Finally, got it to work using the 2.5 version of RUU...
