This is what my PDA shows at start up:
IPL:2.09
SPL:2.09.0000
GSM: 02.07.20
OS: 2.9.7.24
Is it a G3 or G4 device? In the wiki it says that when SPL finishes in 000 is G3 and when it finishes in 0001 is a G4 device. But mine finishes in 0000! So, it's G3 or G4?
Thanks,
Daniel
Same question here I have a Qtek S200 as well.
I would say G3 but wait for others to reply. Look at my specs 2.09.0001 and it is a G4.
read the wiki guys...
the wiki is there to answer these questions...
here's the link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Prophet
the answers are there.....
The wiki does not answer this question! You probably not even read my question, cause in the question I said the wiki doesn´t answer my doubt! So if you could help me I appreciate...
same here..mine has .0000 and i dont know if its G3 or G4..been looking for answers but...

It's in the wiki after all..hehe
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=prophet_g3g4_how
Now I know that it's a G3, cause until now some peaple was saying it's a G3 and some it's a G4.... hehe
They have updated the wiki today...

right that was me.
seemed like a good idea at the time...
now I am not too sure
still say it's G3
but I have now removed this information as a precaution, until I get confirmation.
I have 2.10.0000 spl and had been advised to use G3 utility
I have used many without problems
Now on the Wizard thread I read the following:
G3 DEVICE: IPL/SPL: 1.XX or 2.XX or 2.XX.00X (only two zeros)
G4 DEVICE: IPL/SPL: 2.XX.000X(three zeros)

The only visible difference between a G3 and a G4 device is when you soft reset your device and looking at the IPL and SPL version numbers that occur during startup.
G3 DEVICE: IPL/SPL: 1.XX or 2.XX or 2.XX.00X (only two zeros)
G4 DEVICE: IPL/SPL: 2.XX.000X(three zeros)
Note, X is representing a number.
So, how do you go about to CID-unlock your device? First, do you really have to? Well, in one word YES!, in order to install most of the custom-made ROMs from this site you have to have a device that is CID-unlocked...
If you have a G3 device the solution is pretty straightforward. just look here...
If you have a G4 device you have to go to imei-check.co.uk and pay £20 in order to get it unlocked. But you can help develop a solution that doen't require you to pay for it. Have a look at this thread.
NOTE: There are several posts that mention this subject, some claim that using the imei-check.co.uk method will not CID-unlock your device but only unlock the SIM. THIS IS NOT CORRECT! Your G4 device will be unlocked after this procedure.
Finally, never, ever, flash your G4 device with a ROM that is intended for a G3 device, make sure that is either made for G4 or doesn't contain a bootloader. If you for some reason you do, you'll have damaged (bricked) your Wizard permanently...

so... for the Prophet? can someone clear this up once and for all? Mods?
So... The question remains: "SPL:2.09.0000 it's G3 or G4?"
I want to CID unlock my S200, but I'm afraid since I don't know for sure if it's G3 or G4...

Your S200 is G4!!!
SPL:2.09.0000 = 2.09.0000
2.XX.000X (Three Zeros) G4!!!

Hello - This forum is a great resource; unfortunately the wiki portion isn't quite ready yet...
I've done a forum search on this topic (using the "search" function), but it wasn't very useful. Google was more helpful - I've learned that apparently G3 or G4 has to do with the kind of flash memory used on a HTC Prophet.
How do I tell if my device uses G3 or G4 flash memory?
I just picked up a Dopod 818 Pro last week. It was brand new in the store, but I'm not sure when it was actually produced. The case features the newer, easier to read style Dopod logo (as opposed to the logo that looked like a bunch of circles with some dots above or below).
It seems to have the most basic/early ROM version there is - 1.0.13.21 WWE.
The ExtROM version is: 1.00.13.102. The ROM date is 11/24/05.
From what I'm reading here, I think my device would benefit greatly from a firmware upgrade.
To do that, I need to know - is this a G4 or G3 device? Do I need to CID unlock this device in order to put new firmware on it?
Thanks for your help and input.
-Dan
Hi Dan, if your SPL ends in .000 you have a G3 chip, if it ends .001 then you have G4. softreset you device to see the IPL and SPL version.
You will need to CID unlock your device before changing you ROM.

as i know, you don't have to CID unlock your device. You only have to change the Romupdateulility.exe (extract the downloaded .EXE file with winrar) with this file
ftp://[email protected]/Up...AKU2.3_LvsW_edition/ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe
Thanks a lot, everyone!
I have my Dopod up and running the latest 2.151327 firmware now!
The help is much appreciated.
Take it easy,

Guys, just about to sell my Magician for ProphIt
Please advise what's the fuss about G3 and G4, is G4 better than G3. I mean, if other things are the same, what would you choose G3 or G4? what other advantages and disadvantages?
Thanks
Again a newbie asking questions....
Do I have a G3 or G4?
rom: 2.10.7.24 PTG
rom date: 2/9/06
radio: 02.07.20
protocol: 413.1.03
extROM: 2.10.7.104
I've bought my qtek S200 at FNAC store, and it does not belong to a specific operator (operator free), do I still have to CID unlock?
If I upgrade to an English ROM, is it possible to get Portuguese dictionaries working?
If I stay with PTG ROM what is the latest?
Is I stay with ENG ROM what is the latest? RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU3.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-b5 ?
What is the difference between 16M, 12M, 8M pool roms? How to choose?
Thanks
Filipe
These are lots of questions, Try serching posts n u'll get answers to all ur questions.
Ok, I've tried to find the answers but it not easy since topics are too scattered, and allmost everyone forget to put them at prophet wiki or faq's.
Going for the first question, I've found that:
G3=IPL/SPL=2.XX.0000 G4=IPL/SPL=2.XX.0001
My S200 has rom: 2.10.7.24 PTG missing one digit!?

your phone is probably sim unlocked but still CID locked
CID and sim locks are TWO different things
i'll add this to the wicked, whoever if people would search the answers are there....thats how I found it the first time I got to this place...
If yours unit is not tied to a specific carrier, the phone ought to be still CID locked that it prevents you from loading ROMS from other company/operator (eg, Qtek prevents you from flashing it with iMate ROM). However, you ought to be able to use SIM card from any telco, unless your phone came with a specific telco package (eg, sometimes if you get a SonyE from a telco, the SonyE still needs to be SIM unlock).
Hi!
I've tried several WM6 upgrades posted in the forum, either the upgrade is unsuccessful or the ROM is not aplied to my phone.
Tried the Kitchen v.2, Core 2 etc etc
I'm sure It's not operator-locked!
Do I have to upgrade the OS, SPL and IPL manually with separate roms?
Please help me!
I want wm6 with as many options (progs) as possible!
Is there any ROM out there that I can apply on my phone?
My phone:
Qtek 9100
WM5 OS 5.0 (5.1.195 Build 14847.2.0.0)
OMAP850-195MHz
ROM-version: 2.17.7.1 SVE
ROM-date: 2/13/06
Radio: 02.61.11
Protocol: 4.1.13.28
ExtROM-ver: 2.17.7.103
If you get Error 300 when upgrading then u have to get rom update utility for G4 (probably) (Look carefully in Core 2.0 thread - the first post, there is G4 Users chapter)
If your rom is not flashed but the process goes to 100% complete then probably you have CID locked device, but anyway let the gurus give their advices.
I'm sure that It isn't CID-locked (if that is the same as operator-locked)!
Nope, CID locked is different than SIM Locked
Ok!
How do I unlock It ?
What I understand one must first identify G# or G4, but how?
The only information I've got is listed in my first post.

Based on the SPL version, that's a G4. Any ROM will be fine as long as it is marked as G4 safe, i.e. it contains no SPL code. Read carefully the ROM author's instructions and make sure it is compatible with G4 devices. Most recent ROMS are G4 safe, but some older releases may be for G3 devices only.
Before flashing, make sure you read the general instructions for flashing ROMs on G4 devices. Failure to follow them could brick your device!
About which ROM: that's a matter of taste. Read up on them, browse features and screenshots, check the user comments, and choose the one you like best. I'm using the TNT ROM by itsright and I'm happy with it. I have a G4 Qtek 9100 too.

Very true !
I'll just add here that always remember a G4 device can never be CID unlocked like a G3 device,but it can be upgraded to wm6 by applying methods 'HardSPL' or 'SoftSPL',read about them in the G4 forum posted as 'Stickies'
hi i have hts 8125.
IPL and SPL both are 2.25.
the phone is unlocked. just wonderind as it is a G3 phone can i upgrade to any available wm6 rom for wizard ? or are there any specific on for G3 phones ??
thank you
read the wiki, I can answer you here that you have a G3 phone but I don't want you to flash your phone without reading the stuff. cheers.
