I don't get WM6 on my wizard

Hi all,
I have also a HTC Wizard and i want also the WM6 titanium on this device.
But what i do, it doesnt work. The flashing is going well (i haved flashed it to the WM6Titanium rom).
When i reset the wizard it stil stays in the WM5 with the following details:
ROM version 2.26.10.2 WWE
ROM date: 6/7/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM: 2.26.10.105
Model NO: WIZA200
AKU: 2.3
IPL: 2.17
SPL: 2.17
GSM 02.25.11
I did the "Howto flash a Wizard... a little tutorial" from member Vippie before i do any WM6 flashing. What i try, it will not flash to any WM6
Who knows what the problem is?

Then you're phone is probably CID locked. I recommend you reading the thread about how to get rid of the CID lock.
Succes

Your right.. I had upgrade my wizard before with a other ROM. I think there was an lock in it.. Thanks..

PLEASE make sure you go through the Wiki and read all of the Stickys before you ask questions like this. Almost no phone comes CID unlocked (the ones on eBay that are used sometimes are) but everything else is blocked.. so you need to CID unlock it and make sure that you read everything about it so you don't brick your phone. good luck

[Qtek 9100] Invalid Update Tool

I am fairly new at rom upgrading so i started to follow the tutorial written by vippie. My ppc aint sim locked but i think it is cid locked so i downloaded button's 1.05 rom. When i want to upgrade the rom the programm gives me the following error message - Error 300 invalid update tool.
Some info:
My device ipl and spl number is 2.18.0001
I searched the forum and google but cannot find any solution.

I think your Qtek is nog CID unlocked yet. But I'm not totally sure.

G4
You got a G4 phone, so follow the G4 Tutorials. Its recognizable as 2.xx.xxxx on IPL and SPL. If you have a G3, it doesn't shows the 2.xx.xxxx but it'l show something like 2.xx.
So follow G4 tutors, i thought that if you wanted to flash, it'l need to be CID Unlocked and you should use Shell Tool ( its a tool to flash ).

Hi, I have a QTEK A9100 too. I flashed it many times with the RUU.
My suggestion (at least it worked for me)
a) if u r going from WM5 to a WM6 ROM (upgrade), use SHELLTOOL instead of RUU.
b) If u have problems flashing a ROM and want to go back (downgrade) use the RUU.
I posted both RUU and SHELLTOOL and made a step-by-step guide (in spanish) in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322719
I can translate it to english if you want... just let me know.

T-mobile MDA downgrade Ipl/Spl & WM6 Upgrade Issue

I followed Dr. Puttingham's thread and Yippie's thread to a tee in addition to reading threads in this forum for a good number of hours each day for two weeks. Yesterday, I became brave enough to downgrade my 2.26 Ipl / 2.26 spl; GSM 2.25.11; OS 2.26.10.2 MDA with a goal to upgrade to a custom WM6 rom with touchflo.
* Started with flashing the button rom then cid unlock with lockwiz2b which looked successful no errors but got a 1.xx IPL / 2.26 SPL since I got a 2.26 SPL then
* flashed the wizard love rom then then cid unlock with lockwiz2b which looked successful also but got the same results - a1.xx IPL / 2.26 SPL again then
* flashed the 2.26 T-mobile rom from the Tmobile website then
* flashed NBD 8.3 only to go back to Tmobile's 2.26 rom - DISAPPOINTED after two hours...............
Any assistance would be appreciated without bricking my MDA. Also, I read the thread on how to install a 2.x rom in a cid locked G3, this method appears a little bid complicated and if I need to move forward with this method, would this method work for any WM6 rom with touchflo and if somebody could simplify the method in layman's terms for newbie's like me could understand, please advice.
Let me know if I missed anything in the process.
Thanks, Technobuff

After u do cid unluck and sim unluck and its reboots do a downgrade again to the button rom and ur ipl and spl will change.(u do not have to re-due the onlucking procedure again)

I tried again performing Dr. Puttingham's CID unlocking process in terms of flashing the button rom then the CID unlock process using Lokowiz2b but while I am at the DOS screen trying to CID unlock my MDA it the DOS screen showed unlocking phone........DO NOT DISCONNECT UNTIL THE PHONE REBBOTS.
This process went on for 5 then 10 then past 30 minutes until I gave up. To be on the safe side I turned off the LAPTOP by taking the battery then pulled the USB cable from the PC to the MDA.
What is the typical timeframe for the unit to CID unlock? Why is is it hanging? Am I missing or skipping the process? How can I complete the process?
Any help would ber greatly appreciated by newbies who read threads.
Technobuff

The problem is that you need to have an IPL/SPL of 1.xx before you try to unlock your phone. CID unlocking will not change your SPL which means that you had an IPL of 1.xx and an SPL of 2.26 before you even tried to unlock. You need to reflash the button ROM over and over until your IPL and SPL both show 1.xx and then run lokiwiz.

dont get your point, i have been using shelltool for ages without any problems and quite a lot custom roms. my SLP/IPL is 3.08.

unlock problem
if your device doesn't reboot almost at once after the unlock, it probably didn't work. That is what happened to me. Did you get four lines of File cannot be opened or a similar message? I got that from following the 17 steps carefully. What was wrong for me was unzipping to the root directory of C:/. When I redid it to the desktop and executed from there, no problemo.
Your symptoms sound exactly like mine. I posted a longer thread, somewhere....

Ok i did a little booboo and yesterday was using equinoxe's softspl tool by mistake (didn't notice i had a g3), this causes you to actually end up with the exact same os you had before you flashed.
The best advice I can give: Open the Dr's guide and follow every step closely. (also just found this guide. Its a bit simpler http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305225)
Once you CID unlock you should be able to use the RUUs to flash.
Make sure everytime you do any of the steps that dr. putt gives to be comepletely synced to activesync.
Also dont forget to load enablerapi.cab on your wizard.
Also you must use the unlock function before the cid unlock function in lokiwiz.
OH also the unlock will work after your ipl drops to 1.xx After you do the unlocks reflash button to drop the spl to 1.xx Then just flash up to a higher IPL/SPL as the Dr states.
If it seems unorganized im sorry =P

Umm I believe the IPL/SPL of 3.08 means your phone is unlocked... so you really shouldnt need to use shell tool. Some correct me if I'm wrong

Just cause you have 3.08 does not mean you are unlocked..you could have upgraded a 2.xx ipl/spl without having downgraded and unlocked first.

thanks. helps me to learn stuff.

right, i installed the latest german t-mobile rom and my device is still locked. the point i made is why the hell does somebody want to downgrade? It doesnt matter if u use the shelltool.

Perhaps they want it actually cid unlocked for resale value...or perhaps they prefer the RUU method of installs vs having to use shelltool.

Cannot upgrade to any WM6

Hi guys.
I have this iMate Kjam (Not mine). It was with a T Mobile Official ROM and has IPL/SPL at v2.26. I checked and there was no G4 sign anywhere. Someone had to remove the CID thing to this. I downloaded several WM6 ROMs but once the complete flashing and the device reboots, I'm still in the T-Mobile ROM. I down-flashed to the age-old Button Love WM5 base ROM and here is the ROM status:
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 2.26
GSM: 1.12.10
OS: 1.5.4.2
If I upgrade from this point with, let's say, TNT5.0, here is what happens:
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 2.26
GSM: 1.12.10
OS: 1.5.4.2
Same right? but all the graphics change when booting. There is the HTC logo when device is turned on and there is the TNT 5.0 "BOOM" title when OS is loading (with the IPL/SPL/GSM/Radio)
Can someone tell me what is going on? HardSPL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332320) clearly tells me that device is NOT G4

Update:
I was able to install the official T-Mobile ROM onto Button Love ROM. Here is the screen statistics:
IPL: 2.26
SPL: 2.26
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.26.10.2
If I try to upgrade to WM6 now, nothing will happen as I've already tried. After the flash process, it will still be official TMobile...
What should I do now? If I compare the properties of this Wizard with my own, I'm pretty sure this should be a G4 device.

Flash Buttons ROM again and do a CID unlock. That's it! Have fun!

I have a G3, but I had to flash Button twice so that the IPL/SPL matched, then I unlocked and reflashed 2.26 stock (again be sure that IPL/SPL match numbers), then from there I joined rom flashers anonymous!

The only avaliable HardSPL tool doesn't recognize the device as G4... so how do I forced CID unlock? I tried SoftSPL... but at that time, my IPL and SPL were different...

Lets face the situation
IF you have
IPL 2.26 or 1.xx
SPL 2.26 or 2.XX
You have a G3 device - forget do not use Hard SPL or Soft SPL, these are ONLY FOR G4 DEVICES
Since you have a G3 Device you have 2 options
If you have IPL 1.xx and SPL 2.xx . use WST (Wizard Service Tools) to unlock your CID device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
Note that only with IPL 1.xx you are hable to unlock your CID with WST
If you have IPL 2.xx and SPL 2.xx, than you must downgrade both to IPL/SPL 1.xx with an official ROM
Before you do something, install WST in you PC, and check the real situation of your device

Excellent.
If I'm on Button Love ROM, I have IPL v1.x ad SPL v2.x
Should I upgrade to WM6 from here?
If not, then I have to upgrade to Officia T-Mobile ROm. Then IPL/SPL = v2.26 but WM6 won't flash...

Ah ! c'mon guys
Give this guy a break.

Ok, if you are on IPL 1.xx and SPL 2.xx, you can use WST-Wizard Service Tool 4.2.2 to CID unlock
Then you should load a carrier ROm T-Mobile to get IPL/SPL 2.xx
But allways read as mentioned in the previous post

Quick questions!

I just got my ATT tilt, and am new to this forum. I have been surfing around this forum and read the wiki and FAQs about flashing ROMs, unlocking etc. I don't know if I understand some of the information correctly. Here is some quick questions that puzzling me:
1. When you unlock the CID with the SuperCID program, does that unlock the SIM also? or do you need to unlock the SIM separately if you unlocked the CID?
2. For the use of service from a certain carrier, like mine is ATT right now, is it correct that only the Radio Rom version matters, while the ROM and SPL just need to be compatible with the Radio?
3. If I just want to unlock CID, and get rid of the bloatware come from ATT. can I use jockyw2001's method to unlock CID and later flash the extracted ROM , SPL and Radio back or flash the latest HTC rom and replace with the original Radio that come with my ATT tilt?
My Tilt out of box:
OS: WM 6.1 professional, 5.2.19214 (build 19214.1.0.4)
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE (3.57.00.00 while doing camera+soft reset)
Radio: 1.65.21.18
The tri-color mode reads:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.0000
CPLD-8

1. No, it only unlocks the CID part (hardspl).
2. Not sure what you mean, but some radios are not compatible with certain ROMs (you'll get intermittent sound and no camera picture).
3. You can always revert back.

Thanks for the quick reply.
