Also tried to flash ROM RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
But at 80% I get error..
ERROR [326] : INVALID COMMAND
This file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file

I had the same problem with my JAMin. I messed up trying to flash it with a home-made ROM and the tool used to build the ROM put two G4 SPLs instead of one G3 and one G4. This caused my G3 JAMin to have a G4 SPL. It wouldn't boot past the "rainbow screen" and the IPL and SPL levels were similar to what you have now.
The solution for me was to have it repaired under warranty :roll:

My charmer is still under problem.
Actually problem is that.. My phone is G3 chipset.. but someone flashed it with G4 flash files.
and Its spl and ipl is 2.xx.xxx and phone is detect as G4 chipset.. but phone is G3..
NOW ANYONE can guide me how I can write G3 Ipl/spl
waiting.

As I mentioned my JAMin was repaired under warranty. When it was returned to me they had replaced the main board. So it seems to be quite a problem to re-write the SPL if it has been flashed with the wrong type.
The new board has the G4 flash memory, so no more unlocking/downgrading adventures for me

Hi,
Yes You may be right, we need a ROM with only G3 IPL/SPL or only G3 SPL and if we can force this G3 SPL (I think JAFWM can do it but not sure) into the phone the problem will be solved.
But Question is where can we find this "RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship" as it is not available on net, the file on FTP is corrupt.
"RUU_Charmer_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship" have both G3 & G4 IPL/SPL and when we write this ROM into phone it writes G4 IPL/SPL as Phone is detected having G4 by every software.
Otherwise the only option left is "JTAG" but only one guy (ARC but he lives in Russia) know the test points for Charmer.

I solved this problem before using JAFWM dongle
just uncheck skip ipl/spl and try flash
it will flash ur mobile with the correct IPL and SPL

Thanks for your Quick Reply, please tell us as which ROM version & which JAFWM version you used.
Thanks

i used rom JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021 and JAFWM ver 2.2g

Thanks Man,
can u please confirm me that you had same problem of G4 SPl on G3 DOC.
Because JAFWM detects my phone as G4 DOC and the ROM you mentioned has both G3 & G4 SPL so I think It will try to write G4 SPL not G3.

sorry for the mentioned rom
this one not for charmer
just detect ur phone in JAFWM , chose the nk file for ur charmer , uncheck skip ipl/spl then flash
in that way i think ur mobile will be revived again

Can Any GURU Out There Help Us????????????
Just a SOS Messsage.

i have uploaded it to here: http://savefile.com/files/157293

Thanks Shayd
First of all Thank u very very much as I was not hoping to get such favour from any one so Thank You Again.
Yes I did give it a try, its not working with the message that "please get a new NBF"
I hope someday I may be able to use my Charmer Again.............

JAFWM (whatever this is) is not working (as mak_us1977 mentioned)?
BTW, how do you know if your machine is G3 or G4? By looking if your unit is P200 or P300? And to confirm,
SPL 2.06.0001 only works on G3?
SPL 2.15.0001 only works on G4?
Want to put this on the Wiki to avoid future similar problems

Just Want to Know if U had SPL 2.xx.0001

Need Charmer SD_BACKUP (r2sd) with IPL & SPL

Hi,
Please can anyone help me. I desperately need MDA Compact 2 (HTC CHARMER) SD Rom backup with IPL & SPL.
My PPC is in bootloader mode due to wrong upgrade.
IPL 2.06
SPL 2.15.0001
Thanks in advance.

you can use the updater from bootloader, I did without activesync

My Bootloader is Corrupt.
Actually My PPC has a G3 DOC and SPL is of Now G4 DOC.
It is connecting in bootloader mode but not allowing any upgrade.
The only option is "r2sd backup of SPL"
Can u help me?

No problem, this forum helped me a lot, so i glad to give back to pepole here.

Its not working
today I got a 256MB MMC Card because SD Card was not available.
I tried it but nothing happend.
Can it be that the card must be SD and model and manufacturer must be same or something wrong with the backup image.
I then tried making SPL image from shiped ROM by typhoneNBFtools.pl on the same card but the message was "Update Not Allowed"
Please help.

did u CID ulock your phone? you must do that before flashing with SD.

I used Lokiwiz to unlock it, but I dont know it worked or not.
After this wrong update (Prophet Custom Rom for G4) the SPL is now of G4.
I am now facing the same proble as Jester (G4 SPL on G3 DOC).
As G3 & G4 DOC structure is different so its not booting to OS and even not allowing any G3 SPL to load.
I even tried Wizard Roms, Prophet Recent Roms and even Jester's ROM but my IPL & SPL stayes same as.
IPL 2.06
SPL 2.15.0001.
Dont know what to do more ?

I've investigated deeper, and if you have a G3 with an G4 SPL you are screwed, the only way to recover is to do a hardware level fix, that is to move the flash chip to a good G3 with the correct SPL still in memory and then flash it, then move the chip back into your phone.
in short:
NEVER, EVER MIX the IPL/SPL of ANY G3 or G4 device, you will brick your phone !

Not yet, untill I get my SMD tools here, I might be able to do it
but it's very hard.
P.S.
SMD tools = hardware soldering tool, you can't fix your phone with software only.

No you should not. Since their is no difference whatsovever during normal use. So why should you?

No need to update, there comes no known improvement with the higher IPL/SPL version. And with G4 devices you cannot downgrade anymore once you have the latest version on it. My advice do not update, but you are free to deceide. I will stick with my present version.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hi men
i have jamin g4 i flashed it and now i have this mixed bootloader
IPL 1.000
SPL 2.20.0001
i need ur help i am in this problem for 2 months
thanks
dr ebrahim

i don't see the problem. it's no biggy if you have different versions of ipl and spl. if it works, leave it like that

homw come no proble
my jamin stopped in bootloader i can not install any rom
original or cooked all going to end and after restart of phone again bootloader so i need help
thanks

uve bricked ur phone im afraid, nothing that can be done to bring it back!

if all is hopeless and your device is a G3, try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319636
(just part with spl first)
this worked for me, but as i sure learned from flashing ipl/spl 3.08 (before flashing ipl 3.08 of wizard and totally bricking my g3 prophet ), this is no guarantee for others

i tried the post but the same problem i am in bootloader as before
any new idea

we need your skill ... experts

Is there any one able to read between the lines I need someone can seeing problem not reading surly there are too much faced the same problem and there a tons of trying.
Actually problem is that.. My JAMin is G3 chipset.. But.. truth to tell; I hardspl it with G4 flash to see what will happening..! Now;
IPL: 1.00
SPL: 2.G4.4PDA
( bootloader ) since 2 years ago and no more than and tons of trying and when I run a hardspl for G3 as usual 1- invalid tools / 2- when trying the original ROM it stopped at 80% and check the NBF / 3- when I run downgrade.bat I see the ( cmd ) dialog and it says would you like to try copy again when intlizing my dead JAMin I never gave up yet and useless no matter what I do. NOW; I am digging my JAMin grave..!
my JAMin is detect as G4 chipset.. but it is G3

correct me if im wrong.. you flashed your G3 device with something thats meant for a G4 device?
well if thats the case this is a problem for you since you flashed a wrong thingy in your device. its bricked somehow... and you need some JTAG PINS for you to be able to revive your phone...
im sure there are lots of topics that are made and youre not alone who has this problem... good thing there is a SEARCH button up there better check that out... coz i havent bricked my prophet yet

yea I did it you .....
try 2 do the same its easy just run hard spl G4 that's it man lol

Marek... can you help me please or someone in somewhere online

your in a tight situation dude... you bricked your device by flashing a G4 software on your device G3. remember that G3/G4 is a chipset and it will only run if you flash a correct software that is if your device is G3 you should have flashed a software for G3 devices only...
i cant help you with this coz reviving a dead device like in your situation is somehow difficult for me... what i would advice you to do is to bring this device to a qualified HTC technician that knows what to do...
thats why in this forum ROM developers always say "take note if your device is G3 or G4 or else you would brick your device"
do take it to a technician he knows what to do...
best of luck
