I have searched this forum but to no avail.
I have a Cingular 8125 running the 2.25 IPL/SPL it is SIM & CID unlocked.
I am able to flash the TMOBILE Radio rom no problem, BUT everytime I try to flash crossbow reloaded 1.5 and/or Faria's CROSSBOW it hangs at 99% and then faults out with an error code of 302 communication error.
My device then gets pseudo bricked and I have to reflash back with the Cingular rom.
Any ideas or tips?

Try starting the flash in bootloader screen. Turn device off then hold camera button. then push power button. Keep holding camera button till you see the rainbow screen
The usual suggestions - perform a hard reset, remove the SD card, make sure all other apps are shut down, etc, etc, etc.
Also, starting out with a good, strong 2.26 IPL/SPL ROM might help. It's been suggested many, many times to flash to the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM as a solid base before upgrading to WM6.

I have had the miniSD card out, I have shutdown all applications. I will try it from directly in the bootloader screen. As far as the 2.26 ROM I could not get it on my device, gave me an error as wrong Vendor ID.

My suspicion is that you are not truely CID unlocked. May want to retrace those steps.
Good luck!
8125 ROM Upgrade
Thanks to all for the help.
It turns out that I was most likely not truly CID unlocked. Redid it based on the post in this forums and VOILA. Worked like a charm.
Thanks to all on this forum for all the hard work and helpful advice.
so I lost my tricked out mda and got a new one from my insurance and I've beeen trying to upgrade to wm6 and I've been having so many problems. I downgraded to the love rom and tried to cid unlock it and when I try using my cooked roms they don't seem to install because the love splash keeps showing up and its still running wm5. I don't know if I'm even cooking the roms correctly because it been a while since I cooked a rom and the kitchen was not working properly and I even downloaded a new kitchen. I even tried installing a premade rom and it still it boots up as the love rom. my ipl is 1.26 and the spl is 2.26. can someone please help.
hello
did you succeed in cid unlocking the wizard ? Because i had the same issue and, after unlocking my pda properly, all worked fine. u could also try to install a t-mobile wm5 official rom.
I think I cid unlocked it, I ran lokiwiz and when I try to run it again it say theres an error.
I'll try to make the long story short… Here is the situation:
Cingular 8125 G3, IPL and SPL originally 2.5x, SIM and CID unlocked. I wanted to update my device to WM6 so tried to update to T-Mobile 2.6 to get 2.6x SPL but update gave me "wrong nfk" error. I used 3.08 IPL/SPL update which result Cingular 2.5.xx OS and 3.08 IPL/SPL- all fine so far. Tried to flash the XM6r4 rom but update freeze at 99%. I restarted my Wizard and now I'm on 3.08 IPL/SPL boot loader screen, tried again to update to XM6r4 ROM and again freeze at 99%. I restarted my Wizard and had no choice then flashing the love ROM. Wizard loads ok after flashing the Love ROM, IPL is 1.05, SPL is 3.08. Tried to flash nbd.v7.9 (WM6) ROM. The ROM flashed OK, but after restart I'm on the same state- Love ROM loaded, IPL is 1.05, SPL is 3.08 NO WM6…
How can I get WM6 on my device?
Any help would be appreciated!
Start by following the unlocking tutorials.
Thanks for your help
After some reading I found out that my device was not CID unlocked, this was the main issue. I downgraded to IPL 1.05 again then CID unlocked it. I have WM6 running right now. Thanks again!
So I have followed the guides, two of them conflicting each other (one tells me Wizard Love while other says Button)
So I pick wizard love because I did the factory update a few years back to 2.25
use loki3
run tmobile 2.26 and it fails
run the 3.08 and it works
try to install TNT roms... all get stuck at 99% except one but the rom doesn't work because I am still on windows 5.1
Now on my third attempt it gets stuck at bootloader. Can't get the phone to turn back on to normal mode just to use it and forget about trying these roms
Any ideas?
Got button to work some how
Now I am at IPL 1.01 and SPL 3.08
Hopefully I can redo everything and get 6.1 to work
It tells me my CID/SIM but no where does anyone tell me where I need to insert this ID code at.
ID code? What do you mean by that?
I ment CID, it was telling me the CID like if I needed to enter some sort of menu and run it
Running t-mobile rom again, hopefully this works
You sure that it wasnt asking for a SIM unlock code? OR was it giving you a "data crashes" message?
Nope neither of those.
Anyways
Tmobile screen pops up now with 2.26/2.26
In regards to installing new roms, do I just launch ROMUpdateUtility or Do I need to do a CID unlock again?
Also saw there is 3.08/3.08 available, Update before or after upgrading the wm6.1 rom?
Well, lemme ask you this, what is your device? Is it a G3 or a G4, if G3, then sure, update your IPL/SPL after you upgrade. If it is a G4 however, FOR THE LOVE OF TUNA DO NOT upgrade your IPL/SPL or you will have a brick on your hands. And also, if you have used HardSPL, then no, you do not have to CID unlock your device again. Personally, I just use the SoftSPL method each time I load a ROM. If your device is a G4, I have made a guide in the G4 section that should help you. Its got screenshots and such aswell.
G3
Yay somehow it worked this time, 6.1 is nice
I did softspl
3.08 worth it?
If you device is G3 - FORGET HARDSPL
You mention that you have IPL 1.xx and SPL 3.xx
get WST - Wizard Service Tool and follow the instructions to cid unlock you device, unfortunately you cannot unlock your SIM with the SPl that you have for now
After that flash a carrier ROm to align your IPL/SPL to 2.xx
Ohh it now displays 2.26 on both IPL/SPL
From what I read, 3.08 is mainly for the european radio brand in terms of what the focus on it was for
<---AT&T
Hopefully this will be my last month with this company, figured I try some things out before I put the phone away or give it away to a friend.
Ok, you have a G3 device
Get WST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
Install in your PC (XP not Vista), check the situation about your CID and SIM
If you have CID unlock = SUpercid you can flash any ROm you want, if not you must downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx (Button Rom)
WST Unlock only works with IPL/SPL 1.xx
Note that SIM can only be unlocked with your SPL as 1.xx
go on run, type msconfig and open that, close all microsoft services and install,

DUDE! I'm your friend you can give it to me
Or you could use tmobile with that phone (or any other company that uses sim chips for service) .
Once you have it completely unlocked (cid/sim) you can take it traveling to other countries and use their prepaid sim cards... This is an open phone. dont get rid of it.
on second thought, I will buy it from you if you dont see a reason why you would keep it. I could use a backup to test my cooking on PM me
HAHAHAHA

You know when an oportunittie comes huh!
I can buy it too but its more glad to see a wizard function well with 6.1
hope you can unlock and upgrade... if not... READ a lot.
Losing Mind (again)
OK, here we go.
First off, I am in no way new to Flashing or the logistics behind it. I am sure this is just something that I cant find by searching. But my problem is this.
I have a G3 TMOBILE USA MDA (Wizard). I have used the lokiwiz2 unlock software several times and according to the program I am SUPERCID unlocked. I am able to flash ROMS all day long. I get no error about loading. What is happening is that I almost always end up with the same default ROM after the FLASH is completed. I am now sitting with the Button ROM on the unit. I assume if the Button ROM loads, then I should be CID Unlocked otr it would not load (or is this my mistake in thinking?)
As my MDA sits now, I have the Beer Mug Displayed, IPL 1.05
SPL 2.26 GSM 01.12.10 OS 1.5.4.2
Now, if I go and try to Flash to one of the Two ROMS I want to go to
TMOUS_MDA_5.2.1629_Wing_Port_1.1 (Boring ROM) or I try with SNN 3.1 it will run the procedure perfectly, and I will end up with a Barebones version of Windows Mobile 5.0. This is wild.
Has anyone seen this happen and is laughing and going "Been there, here is the problem,,) or do I need to discuss this in more detail.
Im wondering if the ROM Upgrade Software is grabbing a ROM from elsewhere on my Hard Drive and is installing it from cache or something like that. Is there another version of the OS Upgrader that allows me to tell it exactly what ROM I want installed, instead of just installing whatever it wants.
Thanks for the help, after two days of searching and looking around, I can deal with amteur hour emabreesment, just HELP!!
My xv6800 and my 8125 was a breeze compared to this nitemare. (BTW, I also flashed this 2 years ago with the TMOBILE USA Official Release, no issue)
wyreless
Well,these are symptoms of CID not unlocked.Button's Rom flashed doesn't mean its CID unlocked,its a patched IPL/SPL rom simply to downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx for CID unlocking.
Simply,download WST_4.2.2 and run it to verify the CID lock/unlock status of the phone and do the right thing onwards.
Thank You Zabardast for the quick and to the point answer.
I was thinking in the back of my head it was a CID issue. It was just that everything seemed to be "moving right along". I sthere an easier or better Unlocking soiftware then lokwhiz for the Wizard Series, specifically my USA Tmobile MDA?
Well,if you have Button's Rom running successfully,so its IPL/SPL must be 1.xx already,there shudn't be any problem to use lokiwiz02b to CID unlock the phone,you can even use WST_4.2.2 tool also to easily CID unlock the phone.
There's no other method known to get CID unlocked a wizard freely,unless you are ready to pay to IMEI company to get a unlock code
hey alll..ok i screwed up
i downloaded Charecters ROM..i used WST and it showed that my device is G3 and its CID locked..well i just started the Flashing and it stuck at 99%
now it wont load any ROM and just as i came from school..its not evening starting..its not evening charging..please help any one
for one to flash a rom you must CID unlock it first...
Hi
I've a quite big problem that occured form my stupidy.
I wanted to unlock the phon and get rid of simlock.
I've read the wiki and start playing with kaiser. I forgot to run the HardSpl and go just to KaiserUnlocker. First step was ok 100% reboot, second step - 100% rebot splashscreen 1, splashscreen 2 without sound and after that black screen.
AS is not turning green, screen is black, buttons doesn't work.
I've done HR and after that i fought it's ok there was a splashscreen with windows mobile, algin the screen, time etc. and after that the OS is automatically upgraded by some files from AT&T. After upgrade there is splash 1 with AT&T logo splash 2 with another AT&T logo and nothing more - black screen again.
Before my playing time I had WM 6.0 Prof from AT&T, R 1.27.12.11
Now when I'm entering the bootloader I've
on the top "Security Unlocked"
on red stripe KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
What can I do now?

Run the ATT updater from HERE it "SHOULD" Put you back to stock. Then run the hard SPL and try unlocker again. I have found that I needed to upgrade to 6.1 before the unlocker would work. Hope this helps
Great thx but how should I do that, kaiser is not conectg with PC througth AC.

Hold the camera button when you turn it on. That will take you into bootloader. I am not sure if this will help for sure but it is worth a shot
Oooo it's a ROM i connect via USB and run just the exe

Yes it is the att 6.1 update stock rom.
Or use SD card method. But you need to read WiKi for that...
Best will be to "update" to 6.0, flash HardSPL 1.0 from Olipof, flash older HTC ROM (by HTC, not ATT) repacked (with OS only, no radio or SPL) and then unlock, because newer AT&T 6.0 ROM doesn't work with the radio from SIM unlocker.
The same happened to my friend
Ok so which ROM do you suggest?
I've looked at Wiki at Kaiser_ROMs and there is planty of them
I can try every on of them but from recent 'trying' I have only problems now
I've tried the solution send by zelendel with WM 6.1 it's runing up but there was alsow a customization and I runs it works thanks a lot Now HARDSPL as first

Yeah that was all the AT&T crap. Let us know how things go.
Ok
Phone is unlocked but I've another problem after putting the sim card the phone runs fine for few seconds and then it stops, the vibrations is on all the time and camera isn't working at all and there is no sound (black screen).
Is it one more time OS?
I've instaled WM 6.1 AT&T

Ok now that you have a hard spl install What radio and spl do you have? The radio is your camera prob. I would pick a custom rom and flash it with the prefered set and see how that goes.
So, with the first rom - WM6.0 it showed 1.27.12.11 then I flashed device and it was 1.70.olinex, another flash the WM6.1 and it was 1.65.21.18 and now after hardspl it is showing again 1.70.olinex
It's from the splash1 with the R in front, am I correct ?
Hi
One question more I've a problem with signal I don't loos it but it's weak - one or two lines in the middle of city. I switched to HTC original OS WM6.1 radio is 1.65.16.25. Should I switch the radio ?? If yes which one will be the best ?
Regards

The right radio is such a subjective combination of variables, that no one call tell you which is the best for you. Just go to the Ultimate Radio thread and try a bunch of 6.1 compatible radios until you find on to stick with.
Start with the radio that is recommended for the rom that you are using and then try radios that are in other peoples signatures.
