Database Info

(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!

My first ROM installation

I have unlocked my CID on my G4 phone, I have downloaded SNN version 2.0 I have a question, do I just hook my phone through active sync or is there a special way to install a rom? Really could use some details here. I've read the newbie instalation post but it leaves this part out. Thanks

Yep, if you have xp, another option is to flash it with a miniSD card or in the bootloader mode
I dont know your situation

lost
I have XP, I tried it and got the 3 red colors, I unhooked the usb and and rebooted the phone and it came back ok, but it updated nothing, I really want wm6 but just dont understand.

explanation Please
OK I downloaded TNT TouchFlo, This is what I see when I download and open it what do I do from here no read me's, There is a Bootloader , nk.nbf , RUUGetInfo.exe file, RUUResource.dll file, XP_ROMUpdateUtility.exe file,
Do I need to drag and drop a file into something or just click on one of the exe files. This is not explained in the newbie section. Thanks again

A G4 device cannot be CID unlocked,what you mean by saying You got it CID unlocked,Have you applied 'HardSPL' what IPL/SPL it shows at present ?

I applied the hard one and the IPL is at 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.0lip

All you have to do is run the RomUpdateUtility.exe. I would recommend making sure you don't have any screen savers running on your pc and that you put your phone into "airplane mode" from your comm manager before clicking the update utility.
Once you click on the rom update utility you will be presented with a series of screens. The first two screens you have to check off that you understand and press next. It will then get your current rom settings then you click update then next.
The point that the your phone is being "flashed" is represented when you have a progress bar. Make sure you don't touch your pc or your phone. The process takes about 10 minutes to complete. It may also seem to "freeze" around the 99% or 100%, just let it be, this point of the process always takes longer. The process will complete with a screen saying that you've successfully updated your device, it will then send an order to reboot your phone. Congrats you've updated your phone.

error 300
everything was going good , then error 300, invalid update tool, The update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
Thats what it says and I have the 3 color screen on my phone, what do I do now? LOL Hope its still ok. Everything worked fine till the update bar appeared then that message appeared.

Negative.
That is NOT CID-unlocked, just to trick RUU as if it is unlocked. If you use WST, you can still see your CID is locked.

?
What is WST, and what do I need to do?

You are wrong here,its not CID unlocked,its just tricked into CID unlocked with a patched IPL/SPL,whereas,its not actually CID unlocked.
Don't miss guide the people.
dwilha
With IPL2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.0lip,your phone is HarSPL,its temporarily tricked into CID unlock,yes,you can flash any wm6 or 6.1 rom onto it,by just hook up the phone with pc via usb cable and run the RUU exe application included in the rom,it'll start to upgrade,but if you have problem,download the 'Mun's RUU' and replace it with the RUU application in the Rom and run it.

Okay my fault, i should have phrased my statement correctly. That's what i meant to say but in the end the CID needs to be "unlocked".

Thanks guys, but with the SPL and IPL where they are I should be able to flash correct? When I do I get error 300 as I posted earlier, Yoy also state to download Muns I think, how do I replace the Ruu in it, Please explain.

Download the RUU MUN from the attached file,extract the zipfile and copy and paste all the contents of the unzipped file RUU MUN to the folder of the Rom you downloaded and then run the RUU, or extract the 'nk.nbf' file from the Rom folder and paste it in the RUU MUN folder and run the RUU,ok

You Guys Rock
You guys ROCK, I have windows mobile 6, wahoooooooo. Thanks so very much.
I dont suppose you might know of a rom that looks like the iphone?

Helo dears I have a G3 i-mate k-jam wanted to update it. Unfortunately I updated it to 3.08 with IPL_SPL_3.08 tool. Now when I try to update it, all the process goes as usual (from 0 to 100%) but after restart first screen appears win6.1 the next screen win 5 as it was. I think I have to downgrade SPL from 3.08 to 1.06 first, and then I’ll be able to update it. But how??? Pls help me.
Thanks in advance

Perhaps ! its still CID unlock,did you CID unlock it before upgrading to IPL/SPL 3.08 ? download WST 4.2.2 tool and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID lock/unlock status.
Don't downgrade directly from 3.08 to 1.xx,Sometimes SPL freezes at 3.08 and won't get downgraded if you flash Button's Rom 1.05 to downgrade directly,First try to downgrade to 2.xx by downloading and flashing the official Rom,then after that downgrade to 1.xx through Button's Rom.

AT&T Tilt blank screen after Kaiser Sim Unlocker!

The screen remains black, blank, and does not light up, even though activesync knows the device has booted because the icon becomes green. I can't navigate any controls, though the keys do light up when I slide it, or press buttons. Screen remains blank/black.
Here is what I did to get to this state:
1) I first hard reset my Kaiser, to reset all user preferences. This I accouplished by pressing both soft keys while pressing power (if I recall correctly), then hitting the green call button. It then installed Windows Mobile fresh.
2) I then followed the HardSPL instructions, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361236
Everything went fine.
3) I then followed the Kaiser Sim Unlocker instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
After completing step 5, the device rebooted, the AT&T icon displayed, then the screen goes blank and stays that way.
What should I do? Did I miss something? Is this recoverable?

It also does not have any sound. Does this mean I can't unlock?
How do I flash back to the original rom?

Ok, looks like have version 1.27.12.11 rom, during boot.... according to this page it isn't ok for my AT&T Tilt device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
So does this mean I have to pay to unlock? Or is there some way to do it still? Thanks.

I guess you didn't read step 10

I have a problem... it wont go green now, I can't get activesync to go green. I wont be able to load the rom... what can I do?

A reboot fixed this *sigh of releif*. Goes green now.

Ok, question: Will I use the file in Step 3 to put that on the phone? It is saying there is a file open...? I can't disable USB on the device, as the screen is blank.
[EDIT] Looks like everything I needed was in the download. I put the other ROM back on. However, I'm having a problem with activesync... When I click on Connection Settings active sync freezes up. Any ideas what to do to fix ActiveSync so I can turn off USB, without crashing ActiveSync?

Okay, I got the screen with the unlock code... only it gave me this readout:
Your Unlockcode = ........
just like that, with dots.
Is there any way to unlock a phone, if the screen goes black? I can go back to the old firmware, but this special firmware is needed I think to do the unlock, and this special firmware makes the screen go black on my model.
EDIT: On page 33 of the Kaiser unlocker topic, I found what looks like my answer. I need the AT&T 1.57 ROM, as it is compatible with this patched radio so the display will work. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it on this forum yet. EDIT 2: Found it, loading it on now: http://www.4shared.com/file/3857459...ULAR_WWE_157_-_Originaly_Shipped_ATT_ROM.html

Unlock worked, once I had the AT&T 1.57 version of the ROM on there. ActiveSync still freezes, but I uninstalled it for the section where I was supposed to disable USB. Installed the 1.27.12.11 radio after completing the unlock, replacing the patched radio. All finished.

I still get the blank screen..I am now downloading the AT&T 1.57 version .. I am hoping if I install this I will get the display and I can proceed to step 8a, 8b,..

Sorry to be short,
But did you even bother reading through the other threads with the exact same problem as you?
the problem you have is that you flashed an incompatible radio with the ROM that you are runing on the phone. You need to reflash the ROM with a rom that is compatible with the radio or reflash the radio rom to what came with the phone rom that you are running.
You should have upgraded to a 6.1 cooked rom prior to doing the SIM/CID unlock.
Flash your phone with a cooked 6.1 rom that INCLUDES the radio, and then try the CID/SIM unlocker.
my two bit.

I am trying with http://www.4shared.com/file/38574592...d_ATT_ROM.html, which is the ROM that comes with this phone. Do u think this helps? Do u want me to flash 6.1 ROM instead of this?

No,
Unless you know the stock ROM comes with a compatible radio, it will not work. The problem you are having is because you loaded a radio that is not compatible with the stock rom.
If you already have hardspl loaded, then load a cooked 6.1 ROM that includes a compatible radio (for example L26 v9 rom or Sleuth 3.0 rom).

ok..am a BIG novice here..may be a bad question..I have Windows 6.0 on the mobile..so the Cooked 6.1 ROM L26 that I found http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26925 fits into this? Do I need to upgrade to 6.1 before this? sorry if its a wrong question ..

I need some help BAD! My Tilt lost sound and black screen after boot

I was trying to follow the many different ways to unlock, Hard SPL, and flash a new ROM but this is just way over my head. I think I may have screwed up my phone. I've been reading for 4 hours and I'm just throughly confused (this was so much easier on th Artemis!). I downloaded the jumpSPL1.56-KAS, ran it from the phone (not the storage card). Then I ran Kaiser-HardSPL-3.56 and that seemed to work fine. Then I tried to run step 1 of the KaiserUnlocker and now it will only show me the AT&T boot screen and nothing else after that. What did I do wrong?
I'm trying to unlock the phone so I can use it on T-Mobile USA and flash a new ROM. I've flashed ROMS before but I just never realized how involved this process was on other devices.
And yes, I can get to the boot loader screen.

Ick...this sounds like one of a couple of things...either you really screwed it up (btw, even "really screwed up" has been known to be fixable thanks to the super awesome folks here on XDA Devs) or it's a simple fix. My first suggestion would be to put it back into bootloader (just hold the usualy bootloader buttons and stick the stylus up in the Reset hole OR take the batter out and put it back in, your choice I think) and try rerunning everything EXCEPT the KasierUnlocker (btw, dont quote me but I would almost swear KaiserUnlocker needed a special radio flashed in order to properly work...you may wanna head back to that thread and check it out. I unlocked mine with it and I can about guarantee I had a special radio...) and see if it fixes anything OR find a compatible radio and reflash it (well, first off...get it into bootloader and tell us what the bootloader says on it)
Anyways, first things first would be to see what the bootloader is showing and then work from there. Sounds like a little bug so don't freak out too bad. If you think flashing these babies are hard then you really didnt try flashing G4 versions of the Wizard =P I totally bricked one because it was the pesky G4s and I didn't realize it at the time (complete newbness lol) So yeah, Kaiser's are a LOVELY change for me =] I've flashed mine countless times and loved it since the moment I got it! =D
But yeah, gimme info! =]

Did you use WM6.1 or WM6.0 to unlock the phone? Put in boot loader and flash orginal WM6.0 ROM as the other user suggested. You should be able to flash it if it is not a brick.

If it doesn't work you can use mtty to recover your phone, the needed information you'll find in the Kaiser Wiki.
Hope it helps

I just had this exact problem.
Use the EXE included in the tutorial to flash any windows 6.1 ROM from the bootloader via USB, and you will boot again.

I know. The crazy thing is that I've successfully flashed a G3 and a G4 Wizard and I still find this confusing.
When I go to the boot loader screen I have:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.Hard
CPLD-8
When I reset the device normally I get:
R 1.27.12.11
G 22.45.88.07H
D 1.62.00.00
I didn't try to flash any other ROMS to unlock it. I just went with the hard SPL and then tried the Unlock tool. The phone is stock.

Thanx for the replys. I reflashed the original ROM and now it's working again. This is what I have now:
When I go to the boot loader screen I have:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.Hard
CPLD-8
Now when I reset the device normally I get:

Can I go strait to a SIM unlocker and then flash a new ROM?

Well you've got HardSPL 3.56 flashed to it.
Why do you need to sim unlock it? Sim unlocking is not neccesary to flash one of the many Roms avaliable for the Kaiser/Tilt.
Once it's got HardSPL flashed, you're free to flash any type of rom onto it

I'm trying to unlock the phone so I can use it on T-Mobile USA and flash a new ROM. I've flashed ROMS before but I just never realized how involved this process was on other devices.
And yes, I can get to the boot loader screen.

A couple of things:
1) The Kaiser-Unlocker only works on 1.xx hardspl's, so you'll have to put one of those on first.
2) You do need to install the patched radio before you run it.
3) You'll need to flash a compatible radio afterward too, or else your device might not boot all the way.
4) Next time please post these questions in the thread for the unlocker you are using. It makes it much simpler for everyone.

Well you've got HardSPL 3.56 flashed to it.
Why do you need to sim unlock it? Sim unlocking is not neccesary to flash one of the many Roms avaliable for the Kaiser/Tilt.
Once it's got HardSPL flashed, you're free to flash any type of rom onto it

But HardSPL 3.56 doesn't SIM unlock the phone from what I understand. I need to use it with T-Mobile SIM. So I need to chenge to a 1.XX Hard SPL to do this?
So I guess I went wrong with flashing 3.56 first and not 1.1
Then I need to patch the radio
Run the unlocker
rinstall the radio
Then flash the ROM
Problem I have now is that I can't seem to go back down to a lower SPL version.

Try ookba's roms, use Auto_1.19 worked for me... If it all goes wrong as we now have a shipped rom you can fall back to SD flash as in this post:

No, it didn't work for me. I thought by now there will be a solid solution to this. Now we are stuck with stock roms as we cannot HardSPL our devices.
SPL 1.24 is hard to hack. Anyone got any solutions??????

What didnt work?
I ran the Auto_1.19, (it prompted that device wasnt connected a couple of times, then got the prompt on the device to ask if an application should be run, selected yes (using left softkey), then had to use the trackball to select yes (the screen obscures some of the prompt), then screen went black and RUU began upgrade proces..

Try with the older version if still fails might be worth a hard reset....

Anyone knows if HardSPL for SPL 1.24 is developed yet?

HArder SPL 1.24
Yeah anyone? I have a SNAP with SPL 1.24 running WINDOWS Mobile 6.5 but I cannot for the life of me get any of the JockyW SPL's to work 1.17 or 1.19. I hate these Bloody Telstra / HTC phones, there locking them down so tightly nowdays. Not even the SDA unlocker works.. it tells me the phone is unlockable

SNAP with 1.22 Telefonica
Hi ther,
I´m running with a SNAP from Telefonica with SPL 1.22 and WM6.1 which doesn´t let me install any of the ROMS here. Not even upgrade to 6.5 of original ROM from HTC. It says 294 invalid vender ID.
I have also tried aplication unlocker.. and nothing seems to work.
A few questions... has HardSPL 1.24 been released?
Any ideas to be able to flash a new rom onto this baby...
Thanks
OkiOKi.
