So I been trying to upgrade my OS to the tnt 1437, however every time I try my old OS keeps popping up (OS: 5.1.xxx (Build 15671FARIA.3.5)) ... so for the last 3 days I been trying to search this site for any answers, however all I get is that only happens if the CID is locked, but my phone isn't 1) I unlocked it before to upgrade it in the first place to the above mentioned OS and 2) I checked its status with the Wizard Service Tool (which is AWESOME). So i'm at a lose here as to why every time I either upgrade or downgrade the ROM the same OS keeps showing up. BTW Everything else I can upgrade except the OS. Any help is appreciated. thanks!
Anyone? Anything?
Did you remember what version of IPL and SPL when you unlock your Wizard? It is only unlockable when IPL and SPL is 1.xx (i.e. Downgrade to Button's ROM first). You may post your WST log here for more chance to know what the problem is.
Here you go here is the log:

Did you flash back to the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM before you tried to flash to another custom ROM?

Yes I tried both the button ROM and the love ROM with no change ... On another note I can change the IPL and the SPL with no trouble however the OS always stays the same.
Not the love or button - the original carrier ROM, either T-Mobile or Cingular.
Have you tried doing a hard reset, and then flash to the T-Mobile ROM from a different computer?

I just tried what you mentioned however I got the following error when I was doing the ROM update .... fyi I got it from the tmobile site ... when I ran the rom update I got:
error [326]: invalid command
this nbf file cannot be used for your pda phone. please check your nbf file.
It looks like you originally skipped the 2.26 rom. I did the same thing the first time I flashed a rom. Try flashing back down to the Button rom, then to the 2.26, then the tnt 1437. It worked for me.
Am I doing something wrong here cause every time I try some downgrade its always the same OS that shows up ... 3.3.0.0 that NEVER changes, everything else does.
i have the same problem..

What OS does your phone boot with?
bad flash rom, you need junk the phone or donate to XDA-developers
first take out the sd card.then flash your phone with buttons 1.0 rom.hardreset. then flash it again with buttons rom. unlock the device totaly with the unlock software. hardreset. flash with original t-mobile us 2.26 rom
halfway above 80% pull the usb plug. the phone get stuck and the update program will tell you it doesnt respond. reset the phone (little hole on the side) you will see the 3 color screen . now restart the 2.26 update and when
you get at the part that it starts looking for the phone connect it. sometimes
it just works , sometimes you need to try a few times.. it wont ruin the phone
as i had this many times due to a crashing computer. wjen its done do a hardreset and install the rom you wanted.
hope this helps you guys

Out of curiosity when I downgrade to any of these roms am I looking for the OS to downgrade or just the IPL/SPL?

how is it a bad flash rom if the IPL/SPL and GSM all change everytime i change roms. The only thing that doesn't is the OS.

Hi!
I asked this question first on another board, but XDA-Dev is for me the best board when it come to hard question.
So here's the problem : I think I messed up my device while trying to flash it with a french rom.
I edited the rom and swaped the headers with Hexedit from the english roms to the french roms in :
RadioFS.nbf
RadioOS.nbf
CEOS.nbf
EXTROM.nbf
But here's the problem... while flashing the device, the RadioOS is stuck at 0.1%.
If I remove the RadioOS.nbf & RadioFS.nbf from the hpRUU.ini then it flash the unit, and everything is ok except that I cannot active the Radio (cell phone), it lookup the device.
Here's what I see from the Asset Viewer:
Radio Present : Yes
Radio Firmware Version :
Radio Protocol Stack Version :
Radio Bootloader Version :
Radio File System Version :
Default Radio GDFS Version :
I've tried to reflash the device with bigrom, but no luck, it just flash CEOS.nbf & EXTROM.nbf.
Finally, if I try to flash de device from windows with the ROM12132Beta (with activesync disabled) I get an Error 514 message : device failed verification. So I hacked the rom to get it to flash (with hexedit I replaced the 3 letter language with blank space) but it get stuck at 1.0%.
So do you know if there's is a way to force the flashing of the RadioOS.nbf & RadioFS.nbf? (maybe directly from the SD card?)
Thank you very much in advance!!
Please anybody has a little idea?
Because since this is a US device and I'm in Canada I'm not covered by the warranty, so I'm really screwed. I understand this is an HP device, but it is manufactured by HTC and I'm sure that if there's a place where there's people that know well the HTC devices, it's here.
I have the same problem. I'm going to use a sd card to reflash my HW6515. Did u solve the problem?
Not really... I sent it back for repair...
Not really great because this mean I'm 2 months without my PDA

As i looked and read on the forum, it becomes pretty clear to me that most of
the trouble with good roms are related to bad flashing..
So i thought i put some words together to help you folks out here.
This is for a G3 device !
Things u need:
- button rom v1 for G3 device
- lokiwiz 1.2b
- XP computer
- free USB port (none other stuff attached and not on a hub or G15 keyboard)
- MDA Vario / HTC Wizard
If this is your first flash of the device and you have a CID locked one :
- remove any attached hardware like GPS, SD cards, headset
- download button rom
CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
and install this on your device.
- install it again (yes, again).
- hardreset the device (goto settingsmenu and wipe storage or press 2 button and reset )
- check both the ipl/spl has version of 1.05
- attach to computer and press cancel at the device setup from activesync
- run the CID unlock tool to remove all locks here (press U)
- run it again and press C to supercid unlock
- hardreset the device
- it should now be totally unlocked and working fine.
- install t-mobile US rom v2.26
- note the IPL/SPL should change both into 2.26 otherwise u did not unlock it good and should start over at the beginning.
- hardreset the device
- if u like install IPL/SPL 3.08 for WM6 (this installs bootloader stuff) (see mrfrazz and my opinion on this)
- install radio rom 2.19 for cincular or 2.69.11 for WM6
- install any custom rom preferably faria's as this guy really knows what he is doing
If this is your Xth flash and you know what ur doing:
- remove sd-card and headset and stuff from phone
- flash t-mobile 2.26 US rom
- hardreset
- flash new IPL/SPL
- flash Radio rom
- flash new OS rom
- hardreset
this procedure eliminates nearly all common errors find with upgrading roms.
additional info:
when your in the misfortune of having this rom flashing gone bad... (and it is a G3 device)
because of:
- your computer crashed
- rom flash hangs for longer then 10 minutes
- rom flash stopped suddenly
- something like this
do NOT turn off the device nor remove battery.
reset the device with styluspen in the side of it (you know where it is )
it should come back with the 3 colored page and now you can just re-do the rom flash
when it doesnt: pull battery and start device it will come up with 3 color screen
one more option is to hold the commmanager button and then reset the device
Overall, good advise, but I'm not sure saying you have to upgrade to IPL/SPL 3.08 is required. I've been leary about moving to it myself (I'm not one that feels they have to be on the highest version numbers, as that burned me doing that with Radio ROMs.)
I do agree that doing hardresets in the process may seem like overkill but I've seen it clear issues on devices. And flashing back to an official release before upgrading a custom rom is something I always do (and I've never seen battery drain issues like people describe) as it redoes the extended rom and all and gives you a clean base to work off of.
your right my friend...
the IPL/SPL 3.08 is good for WM6 roms as it adds some functionality.
first time running it will be slow as it needs to setup some stuff i think.
after a hardreset and setting up the device it works pretty fast.
the radio 2.69.11 faria version works fine here in netherlands on t-mobile allthough its faster it doesnt have that good reception as 2.25 mobile has.
the main advantage of this radio 2.69.11 is that i can do gprs and phone
simultanious where as this original rom sucks on the switching part and doing
multiple things at once. hence i recommend having radio 2.19 for most compatibility.. together with 2.26 IPL/SPL
hardresets are needed to get rid of old files and settings which can be old and not working anymore and it wipes the optional rom areas and caches.
the flashing of the t-mobile rom 2.26 is merely to reset all pointers and caches in the device as this rom is official and fills IPl/SPL, rom area, ext rom area, so it will be in a working non-error state.
battery drainage is due to ext-rom being corrupted and also programs that running in the background... suggest to use HTC X-button and set it to: enable X to end programs and end programs by tap and hold X (live messenger closes totaly and logs you out , as well as skype when u close immediatly)
to answer the question of IPL/SPL... i suggest u use 2.26 for WM5 roms
and 3.08 for WM6 proffesional
its like a bios for mobile device... so it has same procedure as with pc bios
unless u have a hard-error that requires it, i would leave it alone...
and some bios update have nice extra functions... u can choose to have em
or are in need of it coz the operating system WM6 needs it..
G4
So when will there be an ipls/spl in the 3.XX range for a G4 wizard?
well i have no clue
the way i see it this G3 and G4 device are the same model and build
the only difference in it is the bootloader
so i seriously wonder if one can just put a G3 loader on this G4 device
as for now i dont know the exact difference.. if this is hardware related u
need a different bootloader for G4
if it is software related it should be working on both devices.
for now i dont have a clue what is so different about the G4 version
the only thing i see is the IPL/SPL which would say to me that it might be
the case that this G4 has different hardware pointers.
u be fine with 2.26 IPL/SPL on this G4
untill we have clear what this difference is, i wouldn't mess around with it
..unlocked or not , as it can render the device useless...
Hello and good afternoon, I'm a beginner and i've read a whole lot and decided today i'd take the plung and upgrade my qtek9100 to wm6,current status of my phone=NOT WORKING(sorta).

Wm6 Roms can only be upgraded if you have an IPL/SPL 2.xx,as I can see from your present Rom version 1.1.7.5,you must be having IPL/SPL 1.xx,therefore,it's not possible to upgrade to wm6,untill and unless you upgrade your phone to IPL/SPL 2.xx.
First flash T-mobile 2.26 to upgrade to 2.xx and then flash any wm6 rom.
Good luck
be sure that unlock means both "cid and sim" unlock, because sometimes it is network unlocked only, you can use your device with different networks using different simcards, to flash a rom you need the device cid unlocked, read the guides
Hi , thanks for the reply, i must mention that my phone is a QTek 9100 please tell me if the T-mobile 2.26 will install on my phone. if it can please can u give me a download link to it.. I've been searching the site but i haven't found any..
nannhy
Are u sure your phone is CID unlocked? use the wizard service tool to be sure. U can download the t-mobile ROM here: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ You need to have a t-mobile phone number. If u dont know any, PM me, and ill let u use mine, u dont have to pay, its just to make sure that ur a t-mobile customer.

XM6R2a is NOT wm5...if you "installed" it and you are still on wm5 then your phone is NOT cid unlocked which is probably what the communication error (302?) was trying to tell you in the first place. Follow the "how to flash a wizard" guides that are a sticky at the top of the forum.
Hey thanks to everyone who have been offering information, my progress so far, i've CID unlocked my phone and i reinstalled the pro+home wm6 and all is working, except i cant use my camera, cause i dont have enough memory as is replied by the os, i'm going to try the t-mobile updated as pointed out in a previous post.
Hello all,
I have been reading xda-developer forums for a last couple of weeks, but I didn't managed to find a "proof" that someone succeded in installing hardSPL on a TyTN II device with SPL-1.93.0000, and successfully flashed one of 6.1 ROMs.
I have HTC branded TyTN II (NOT locked to any network SIMs - tried with 3 different SIMs from 3 different operators and they work) with following information:
ROM version: 1.56.405.5
ROM date: 08/28/07
Radio version: 1.27.12.32
Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Soft-reseting device with cammera button pressed (NO USB connection - cable not connected to PC) leades me to a tri-color screen which shows:
KAIS130
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
and a text "Serial" on the screen.
My question is: is there anyone who managed to install HardSPL on a device with same SPL 1.93.000 and with what tools (HardSPL, JumpSPL, SSPL .... )?
Also, does anyone have this version of original (shipped) ROM - it seems that there are (very) similar ROMs around, but I didn't manage to find exactly the same version ?
Thanks for any help on this.

I am sorry I do not remember the SPL version I had originally, however it seems most problems experienced seem to be related to the device not being detected correctly by the PC when in TriColor screen mode.
If you are using Vista the above problem seems all too frequent.
I did not have any problems the first few times, Vista worked just fine but then one day I started having problems and Vista could not detect the device correctly. (even though "USB" appears on the TriColor bootloader screen does not mean it is correctly detected)
If you are using Vista then you could try the following instruction - this worked for me...
http://www.modaco.com/content/Windows-Mobile-News/252977/RUU-on-Vista-It-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/
As I say there are probably other ways, but since I installed these ActiveSync 4.5 drivers I have never had any problem.
There are 2 methods to flash HardSPL, if you get stuck in "White Screen" using the traditional method, then you will need to use JumpSPL fom the alternate "White Screen" method.

ive got a t-mobile wizard 200 dutch edition
i had a win 6.5 rom loaded and it worked fine
but for some wierd reason i wanted to downgrade it to the original win5 rom
when i was at 55% my 1 year old sun pulled the usb cable
now i can't get any new rom in the phone that works
is there anyone that could help me
everytime i get the bootloader screen and that's al
Don't give up hope. As long as you can get the bootloader screen, you should be able to burn a rom. Try the CR96 WM6.5 ROM, in my signature, which if I remember right comes with a Vista RUU. If it doesn't, search this forum for Vista RUU, which I have found to work well for installing ROMs from the bootloader, in XP or Vista. I don't know about Windows 7, since I have never had it.
i've tried the link you sugested
after running the update the startup screen of the phone changed from t-mobile to a HTC logo and after that it shows the bootloader and nothing more
ipl 2.18.001
spl 2.26.001
is there anyone with an original rom for this phone becouse the one i thought was original is damaged and maybe an original rom can repair this phone
or is there anyone with different idea to solve this problem ?
edit: i found an original german ship rom but when i try to laod that on the phone he gives a error
something with wrong phone id
edit: i found a file with t-mobile g4 ipl/spl after i loaded that one
ipl changed to 2.26.001 spl stayed 2.26.001 but stil no respnce to loading roms
i found a threat where they where talking about the love rom
i downloaded it and uploaded it to the phone and everything was back online and i could do anything again with the phone
