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.

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
Hi

Help someone....

please read the wiki or search, this question has been answered many times
If your SPL & IPL end to .0001 then it's G4.If it ends to .0000 then it's G3.
As nobody has posted this information here before: there're some news in the Prophet upgrading scene
IPL/SPL 3.08 update is out (adapted from the official t-mobile Germany AKU3.3 for HTC Charmer, thanks to our friends from 4pda.ru).
Be attended that for the moment there're no downgrading experiences to the AKU2.2!
[edit 1] Some users reported that it definetly works for G3 devices.
So if you upgrade your device to IPL/SPL 3.08 you will possibly not be able to go back to your original IPL/SPL (warranty!). Test it on your own risk!
[edit 2] Some users reported that it works for G3 devices. Details will follow.
Since there're different upgrade IPL/SPL ROM's available you've exactly to know which device you're owned (G3 or G4).
The new radio rom is for both, G3 and G4.
Also a new radio ROM 2.69.21 is available (don't wonder about italian Wizard's update utility). All user experiences are welcome
HTC Prophet IPL/SPL 3.08 G3 only!
HTC Prophet IPL/SPL 3.08 G4 only! (actually there're some problems with this package , please use the next one)
Repacked SPL update working solution for G4
HTC Prophet radio ROM 2.69.21 G3 and G4
What kind of problems/features is IPL/SPL related to?

Is there any reason for a Prophet user to upgrade to the new one?

Is this really true?
have any tried?
It is not possible to downgrade ipl/spl at all.
I don't understand the confusion here
does it only work with aku 3.3 roms or it can work with the latest Qtek official rom (aku 2.2)?

There's no question about possibility to downgrade ipl/spl, there's a question about possibility to install an earlier AKU on such upgraded device, for example 220734_NoVID (AKU2.2).

I want to know, too.
If I upgrade to IPL/SPL 3.08, can I install 2.20 QTEK ROM on it?
THX it doesnt work on my G4!!
Now i reburn old OS to bring the system up and running! He enter only the Bootloader.
[edit] i debug now!!
[edit 2] ok both doesnt work on a German S200 G4 (possible -> CID Lock make the problem!! or the firmware writer)
IPL/SPL Update hung at 2% and Radio Update too ... after them i must reburn the 02.61.21 Radio Rom
Note to every body ... dont use this upgrades!
[edit 3] i change now the firmware writer and test again!
[edit 4] ... redandr ... you use the wrong firmware writer! extract with winrar the Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.61.21.exe in a directory. then i extract the nk.nbf file from your rom version ... then i put them over the v2.61.21 version and flash again ... then it works ... now i recompile the update and test ipl/spl update. if i am finish i upload a working version!!!
Change Log:
I have change the Firmware Writer!!
redandr use "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" it hungs after 2%
i use the Firmware Writer from last 2.61.21 "newromupdateutility_noid.exe"
Then it works ... tested on two German S200 G4
HTC Prophet radio ROM 2.69.21 G3 and G4 NetrunnerAT
IPL/SPL doesnt work ... hung on 2% its a writer problem
Can somebody test it? Both Radio ROMs and tell use ... what version works?
NetrunnerAT, thank you for sharing your experiences.
For me Wizard's update utility worked without problems (for radio rom upgrade), didn't try to change ipl/spl (not necessary for me).
Radio Rom 2.69.21 works fine for me on my Qtek S200 G3... I used the upgrade from the first post... did not try the ipl/spl yet because I am not sure if need it...
so far, radio rom 2.69.21 is very good... I had some problem with 2.47 and 2.61 (phone not ready...)... but with this one, it seems to be ok...
Hello, sorry for my inexperience, so that it serves to update the IPL/SPL 3.08?. The fact is that really not so that it serves this update. That of the already this updated radio and working perfectly, even would say that the coverage gsm has improved.
Thank you
Same here! ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe works without problems!
Working version also available at the XDA-Dev-FTP!
repack that works
SPL_3.08_Prophet_Updater_NVID_ONLY_G4 only for G4
don't have time to test right now but the first splash screen seems to take longer device boots up though normally
ipl not included as it wasn't in the first package
this is only for G4
G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4

Hello together!
After reading and trying everything I found in the last 2 days I have to start a new thread. I managed it to update my phone to IPL/SPL 3.08, GSM 2.69.11 and OS 2.26.10.2. Now I'm trying to flash my ROM to TNT5.0 for example. It completes, my mobile is booting and I always have the same ROM (OS) version in it... What am I doing wrong????
Thanks
JOE
is it g3 or g4 if its g3 then its nots cid unlocked. i dont have a g4 so im not much help there.
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)
_Nomad_ said:
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!!!
