I have been trying to upgrade my brother's prophet to WM 6.1 but to no avail. I have used Hard SPL as well as upgrade to WM6.1 but then the phone just displays the tricolor screen. I tried to hard reset but still to no avail. When I hard SPL again the default orange WM5 boots up. It seems that it is not accepting the upgraded os. Any help is appreciated.

Man check my posts on the forum i instruct how you can do that if you can not find them or upgrade send me a message describing your problem, and i will explain how you such do the upgrade.
I found this thread [13.01.2009][WM6.1]ROM Prophet Blue Manila 2(OS 5.2.19974)-Now with WPA2 Support. Is this the one to follow?
Many thanks

Hello,
I am not a really experienced user in ROM upgrading, IPLs, SPLs, and the works. I have read a LOT about these subjects and i still don't understand a few things. Nevertheless i tried.
I own a G4 CID-Locked Prophet (QTEK S200) as described in the title and i tried upgrading to WM6 "just to see" what the hell would it do.
Before trying this WM6 upgrade i tried yet another thing which is kinda risky and actually turned this same S200 into a brick temporarily. I used the known shelltool_bugfixed application to upgrade to AKU 3.3.13 (extract OS from a complete ROM, then replace the OS file with the AKU 3.3.13 one) and it worked. I tried doing the same with clean1 V2 ROM and it bricked it.
I reflashed the Prophet with an original ROM using the novendor-id RUU, thinking it would never bring it to life, but it did. Also upgraded my SPL to 2.13.0001.
Then i tried upgading to clean1 V2 WM6 rom again (Jesus, stubborn guy) just by simply decompressing the files and running "UPGRADE_ROM.BAT". And it worked.
I was REALLY surprised because i read over and over again about this and i had the idea WM6 needed some special IPL and/or SPL and that my device had to be CID-Unlocked before the upgrade.
These are just a few events of yesterday and today with my Prophet which i wanted to share with you. I still find it unbelievable but here i am, running WM6 and happy as hell with it. WM6 really looks awesome and works a treat
^_^
If you dont write IPL/SPL without the right CID, you cant use all WM6 Firmwares ;-)
So you mean IPL and SPL are directly related to CID-Locks?
I wish i could understand that, it would help me figure out what i can use on my CID-Locked Prophet and what i can't... before i brick it for good
As i said above, when i "brought it back to life" with an original JamIN rom, it upgraded the SPL to 2.13.0001 (it was 2.10.0001 previously).

Don't know what your are talking about but all wm6 in this forum gave me no problems when i flashed them. Mine is CID locked G4 from ORANGE. So just try. There are lots of alternatives. All working more or less... Find the one better suits your prophet.
Read what i said in the first post. I know it's a bit confusing, but it says there i have successfully flashed my S200 with WM6 (smart1 V2 ROM).
I was just surprised because with all the spread information around WM6, i thought i needed to downgrade to some "special" IPL/SPL version or that i couldn't flash just because my G4 is CID-Locked.
After all, i can just flash about anything without bricking my S200. The only thing i think would brick it is if i downgraded (somehow) the IPL/SPL. Am i correct?
you can only upgrade IPL & SPL
but you can upgrade and downgrade OS
what I really confused about it, what is the relation between IPL&SPL and OS
as I understand, some OS need newer IPL & SPL
can any one correct me

as I noticed, there isn't any relation between IPL/SPL and OS
and upgrading SPL doesn't take any profits
Hi I love this site. I need some help i did plently reading on roms n flashes and tried plenty out. My Question is that i have an htc 8125 phone which is unlocked and has windows mobile 5 on it and is is ilp 1.05 spl 3.08. I wanna put windows mobile 6 with the touch flow and cube but so far I ain't able.
I tried out TNT_5.0_Wizard_TouchFLO and NBK 9 on the Tnt i did it with active sync. I noticed on using TNT at starting my phone on i Get a TNT windows mobile 6 screen then when the phone boots up it customizes cingular and im back with windows mobile 5.
anyway to put windows mobile 6 and touch flo.
thanks for the help
When downgrading your phone so that you can unlock it - you need
Both IPL and SPL @ 1.XX
Yours are not the same - so you need to redo the process to get these two numbers to match. Flash the button rom.
Then, you need to flash a stable oem rom - like the Tmobile 2.26
In order to flash WM6 roms - you need ipl and spl of 2.XX or greater.
You've mentioned that you did some reading - do a little more. Read the unlocking and flashing a wizard posts, follow each step - do not skip any. Take your time, the how to's are very detailed - but they are bang on.
Good luck
htc 8125 problem!
Hi that such I have written for several sides asking the same thing, which happens it is that I have a htc cingular 8125 and need the help someone who can devote a solution to the problem that on having connected my htc to the pc, the activesync it synchronizes well and habia could before formatting the memory could spend(pass) of quite files etc.. But now after erasing I want to install any rom and it turns out that the rom does not recognize the htc, me mistake and the this battery 100 % loaded, the cable in good conditions, I changed the framework into the last one to the pc etc.. And nonetheless I could not have installed the rom.. not that to do.
Thanks...sorry for my bad english.
Is your phone a G3? Install SuperCID.
Is your phone a G4? Run HardSPL.
Once that is done, you should be able to load the Wizard Love ROM.
Then, you should be able to load any WM6 ROM from these boards.
I've been trying to find a thread that addresses my issue but have'nt been able to find anything addressing my issue.
I wanted to upgrade my 8125 G4 (IPL/SPL 2.25.0001) to WM6 so I tried the guide for "newbies".
I have windows XP and Activesync 4.45. I was able to establish a connection with my 8125. I ran the HardSPL and it confirmed my device is G4 and it went to the utility.
I followed the utility and was able to reconnect and reestablish connection with activesync. after rebooting my phone the IPL is 2.21.0001 but the SPL is still 2.25.0001. Can you tell me why it did'nt change to
2.21.olip?
I then tried rerunning HardSPL but when the utility asked me to reconnect and establish connection with activesync activesync does not discover the phone. Otherwise am able to use my phone just fine and can even activesync with my laptop.
I did not continue to other steps for fear of bricking my phone since the guide says not to continue if SPL isn't 2.21.olip.
Can anyone please help me get back on my way to WM6?
my phone is:
Rom 2.25.11.1 wwE
radio 02.25.11
Protocol 4.1.13.12
ExtRom 2.25.11.102

Multi Posting !
Instead of starting a new thread practically in every forum is not going to get you help immediately and is not advisable,its always better and more beneficial if you post in the appropriate forum and thread related to the subject and problem.There are better chances of getting help sooner and by reading that particular thread might help you to solve your problem as many may had this problem and got it solved.
Thanks for the tip.
I particularly don't like redundancy, but since the other forums also deal with similar topics I thought multiposting would be ok.
Do you recommend one particular forum?
I thought the upgrades forum would be ok, but since I have a G4, well...you know.
Hey again....sry for writing german, i didn't think....
here my problem on english:
i use a long time the TNT Vanilla Rom based on wm6 at my HTC Wizard and will now flash it with Xion's wm6.1. But it doesn't work. I have a G4 which is CID unlocked.
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.Olip
gsm 02.19,11
os 11.0.0.1
I think i flashed my wizard with HardSPL in those days. My Problem now: i can't flash with wm 6.1. i try to flash with the orginale o2- and qtek-rom, but that doesn't work with the same error:
error[300] invalid updatetool.
A try to remove the HardSPL (what ever that means or works) like described in the following post, but don't work, too, with the same error...
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744)
I don't change every day something on my wizard, but in this days i want to update it. i read a long time, hope i recognize my problem right and could describe it.
i wouldn't have a long howto, just a little advice, if THIS is my problem (and how i could solve it) or i look in the wrong direction....at the moment i stand still
Thanks a lot
Peter
Hi guys,
im sorry thar I have to ask. In the last 3 days, I´ve read a lot, but I can't find any hints for my Problem.
Fact is: I updated ma IPL/SPL from 2.09 / 2.09.0000 to 2.20 / 2.20.0000.
So if I want to flash my ROM - for example with this, after rebooting the prophet it stucks in the red/green/blue screen, showing IPL 2.20 and SPL 2.20.0000. In the lower left corner is 'USB' shown, when USB plugged in.
I tried to flash back den WM5 - it works, so that I can use my Prophet again with WM5. BUT I WANT WM 6.1 .
Can please anyone give me some hints, or tell me what I`ve made wrong.
I have no further Idea.
Thank you all for your answers.

GOT IT.
I simply did the HardSPL (including the SoftSPL) once again. An what should I say: Miracles happen . After this in the bootscreen was displayed: IPL 2.20 / SPL 2.G3.4PDA. And now it´s possible to flash each ROM - great
Best regards
