After succesfully flashing WM6 rom, the rom doenst work

I have succesfully flashed my Wizard G4 with a WM6 rom...but...
After the flashing is done, the previous installed rom starts again...
I already tried to flash is first with the Wizard_love rom or official qtek rom but it doesnt make a difference...
I am trying to run the dutch WM6 rom...
Is anybody familiar with this problem? I have searched the forum but couldnt find anything about it...

This means your device isn't CID unlocked.
You'd have to unlock it in order to update your ROM.

? The CID lock is only to prevent flashing other roms into the phone, am I right?
I used the softSPL, and flashing a rom isnt the problem...
I have flashed: Qtek roms, Wizardlove roms but WM6 roms won't work...
Maybe hardSPL is the solution?
Correct me if im wrong..

YES ! CID lock is to prevent flashing any other Roms other then the official carrier's Roms. A G4 device cannot be CID unlocked like a G3 device,the only solution to upgrade a G4 device to WM6 Rom is by tricking it into patched SPL through SoftSPL and HardSPL temporarily.
You might have not performed the SoftSPL method correctly,read carefully and do the procedure again correctly,it's better to use SoftSPL then HardSPL,if still you are unable to get it,then you may opt for HardSPL.
Cheers !

I think you all misunderstand the problem.
Flashing the G4 aint the problem, I can flash it by using softSPL with every rom I want...
All the roms are working, except when I try WM6 roms...
When I have flashed a WM6 rom, the G4 boots the previous installed rom again, hardresetting doenst matter...
I have had the same problem with a G3, then the cause was a wrong (to old version) bootloader...after upgrading the bootloader the problem was solved...
My G4 has bootloader version 2.18.000.1, could it be that this bootloader is to old to run a WM6 rom, and if so which version bootloader should be recommended?
Thanx in advance!

the SPL wont change, i used hardspl.bat (jumpspl i guess)

i flashed it to PVTemp after i was stuck in boot loader screen, and now i tried to hardSPL again,
but the damn SPL wont update!!!
it's NOT 2.G4.4PDA, its still 2.20.0001 !
what should I do???
why hardSPL batch(which i think is jumpSpl) isnt functioning ?
i know jumpspl should do the job, but spl is not updated,,,
what am I doing wrong???

Radio downgrade

Hi,
Is it true that once you upgrade a radio version you can't go down to a lower version. I've successfully managed to install version 1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90 from Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 (don't ask why) but my phone still says I have Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90.
Thanks

No that is not true. That is the exact same radio version you posted. Some ROM's do not flash a radio. The best bet is to flash a stand alone.
Once you are finished flashing your ROM and happy with your device. Patch SPL using the regular SPL method and then run FLASH from within the SPL folder, this will flash a patched SPL to your device and act as a Soft SPL. From here you can flash any radio and number of times to test the best one.
Hope this helps you out.

I also tried many radio versions before setlling down. Ofcourse you can downgrade it as h4waii said

Thanks for the help.
Is the method given by jockyw2001 Soft SPL because if so that's what I've been using.
Btw, what does SPL stand for?
Thanks

It should be in the Wiki, the uSPL is by jockyw2001 and it is loading a patched SPL from RAM. Flashing the uSPL over the ROM SPL will turn it into a "soft SPL".
SPL stands for Secondary Program Loader

Hello.
I am just about to flash a new SPL onto this stock device - however i just read a guys post saying that he lost his 3g/Edge connection when he flashed his SPL which is the same as mine.

Is this a common error when you flash this SPL?

You can Flash it with no worries... All you have to do is use the goldcard method... Remember to backup your APN settings...
The 3g problem is to the Chilean magic related... But I found the solution to it...
You will not have the same problem...

Thank you for the answer. May i ask, what SPL did you flash onto it? And did you create a recovery before or after the new SPL was applied?

Hi pixelkid,
My Magic had the same (pefected) SPL and I've changed it with Amon_RA's goldcard method (I chose Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010). Everything works!
EDIT: With a perfected SPL, the recovery change can only be done after its change!

Hi. I also have 1.33.0014 and have successfully made a goldcard and put the eng 1.33.2010 on it (named sappimg.zip) it loads fine in Hboot but then it sais that the update is an older version so it won't let me. Any ideas?

My SPL is in my signature, but any ENG SPL should do the work...

[Q]nelp me to flash RSPL on HTC surround

Need help as I'm doing it for the first time
I have Radio 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50 and bootloader 4.3.2250
I want to flash RSPL and then DFT ROM, but as I see I need to downgrade bootloader to something like 1.52
If I flash Radio 5.66.09.09_22.46.50 from Mondrian Cingular 1.52.502.04 file on my device , will it brick it? can I flash 5.66 radio over 5.69? to downgrade bootloader?
or what should I do to get any Custom ROM?

You should actually be able to downgrade SPL 4.x directly (3.1 or lower is needed to install HSPL, which then lets you flash a custom ROM). Have you tried just rolling back to an old restor point (NoDo, perhaps) or flashing just the SPL (you can do this using the RUU) of an old ROM?
I downgraded my SPL from 4.5 to 3.1 by doing this. I'm still using a stock ROM, but until I install an update that overwrites the SPL, I know I *can* install R/HSPL any time I want to.

I restored with zune to NoDo and bootloader is still 4.3
I'm afraid to flash directly as it was said by Cotulla that flashin 4.xx MANGO `SPL-s will brick the phone. so can I just flash a lower radio version that downgrades the SPL, or I need a goldcard method?

With 4.x you should be able to use a radio/SPL image to downgrade. It's still installed using RUU, but you don't need a full ROM. There's even a configuration that won't wipe the phone when you flash it (obviously not useful for a full ROM, but I found it handy when I was trying different methods but didn't want to need to restore a backup to get my data back).
I pulled the download for my phone (radio + SPL pre-loaded in a RUU set up to not wipe the data) from the HD7-specific forum.

Dear Mr. GoodDayToDie
Could you please point us to where we can get the RUU file for the Surround device.
I have the Exact situation as Mr. DJSave Have.
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot my problems solved her:
