HELP!! Cant use my Wizard anymore

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...

(newbie) frustrations...

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 " "
GSM 2.25.11
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?

will surely try that now!
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!

Htc herald /p4350 rom

Hi!
I am new to this, can someone help me how to update HTC P4350(HERALD)? And from where I can download the files for updating it.. Please help

Hi, I'm also kinda new to this, but I'll try to help you.
Connect your herald to your computer and open ActiveSync, then run the program and follow the instructions
Download this file :
http://www.2shared.com/file/3727387/b4e9df29/Ko_HTC_HOME.html
Sorry for my bad english.

One good way is looking at the Open Touch 6.5 thread. The first post shows basically all the info you need in order to "mod" your Wing/Herald. Plus, in my opinion, Open touch 6.5 with no spb is the best ROM and the one I'm using now until ivan makes his amazing awesome ROM .
And as for programs look for s2u2 (Slide to unlock 2) and s2v (Slide to View) .

just upgrated!
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1961488&postcount=123
it is very simple to upgrade. Follow the instructions.
I've used wm6.1 - CE 5.2.19209 (Build 19209.ASerg)
I had wm5 before with glitches and sticking.
It's a big difference! Very good assembly.You can try it.

P4350 i cant star my phone anymore
Firstly i was trying to update from 6.0 to 6.1 but i didnt manage it.. after several times i decided to update to TylerC161 Wing Kit... and so on and on.
So when deviced was instaling i touched the screen and i guess becouse of it i damaged the rom.
What can i do now?
Now i have just HTC shining on my screenand nothing heppends..
If im trying to run rom from bootloader on 3 % i have an error 270 becouse and i think it is becouse of CID locked, my phone came from Turkey and its ritten on him Turkcell..
What can i do ?

1. This post is in the wrong forum. It is not a development related thread.
2. You hijacked a thread. Please always start a new thread or find one that deals with the issues you're having.
3. The answers have been already discussed many times. If you follow the guides of ANY ROM, they refer to HardSPL. Search for "Herald HardSPL" to find out how to HardSPL your phone (MAKE SURE your Herald has a SPL at least at 4.0 if you do.)
I'm closing this thread now since it's old.

easy, Wiki is the best answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303558
and also here http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/HTC_Vox
please read first.

Read the wiki for complete answers...but in short:
1.http://www.wordreference.com/definition/vox
2.radio version is like the part of the phone that has to manage the "communicating part" of the phone....like making calls, receiving the signal, calls quality.wi-fi, bluetooth...etc..Different radio versions do different performances of the phone...and some seems to improve battery life.
3. Classic is for Pda (touchscreen) without "Phone capability", Professional "is for PDA(touchscreen)-Phones", Standard is for smartphone (non touchscreen)
4. ROM is the "mass-memory" part of the phone...where you store the Operating System and programs..if you have enough space ( think of it like the Hard disc of the OS for a pc). WWE means standard english version.
5. Read the wiki....basically. Backup of your data (contacts, sms etc..)>backup of the rom (optional)> Unlock> Flash SPL> Flash rom. Easier and quicker than it seems.
6. NO soft reset is a normal reset of the phone.Like you do when you shut it off, and then you power it on. Data is still there. HARD RESET...Deletes all your data...it's like having a phone just flashed with a ROM...(or in a PC when you have just formatted your hard drive and then reinstalled your Operating System)
7. Is this a question????? BTW if your battery lasts some hours...maybe it's time to change it...it's not so unusual.
8. It should be 6.0
It's your choice to upgrade...FOR ME, IMHO, all the way...phone gets better.
When you do it one time...you will do it all the time...with the pleasure of testing new roms...so you'll have your personal opinion about the best the suit your needs.

Thanks

Where will i get latest official rom for my vox, i m not able to download it frm htc site. It says that the update is not for my device S/N.... Plz help, can any one give me a direct download link frm any other site like media fire, rapidshare etc..

look in the xda-wiki...also in the vOx page...there are a lot of roms, but i'm not sure You'll find the latest...(1.34) maybe.
I cannot upload it somewhere for you...no broadband connection here, where I live

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_roms
1.34 is present!

Shipped ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2153312&postcount=14
hope it helps

Thanks to both of u.......
U guys r great.......great....... Thanks, i m downloading.....wwe1.34. If i will face any problem while flashing...again i will come to u guys for help if u dont mind.
Then afterwards i will try cooked rom
thanks, thanks a lot...........................

With official roms you don't have to do the whole USPL thing...just plug it ot your USB cable (check that ActiveSync is connected) and start flashing.
BTW if you flash cooked roms...you have to do USPL,
Normally if you flash USPL than you can flash every cooked rom without worries, and without do the USPL thing every time...just the first
BTW if you flash a OFFICIAL rom after a cooked rom you restore again USPL.
So the next time you have tu USPL again.
Hope I've been clear.

thanks again for reply

I wantd to ask one more thing, i m afraid of flashing with active sync via pc, and usually i dont get

If you execute the exe file, it will give you the ROM image file, a nbh file. That IS the ROM file actually, others are just tools to write that nbh to your device thru activesync.
Hope it helps

Thanks all of u...........
Thanks to all u guys, who suffered me. Sorry for the trouble tht i gave u. Finally i flashed my vox with fhm's win6.5 rom.
