HELP!! Cant use my Wizard anymore

Hi guys i'm pretty new in this scene and i did something stupid...
i've downloaded Win Mobile 6 from usenet and installed it without reading
anything. At 95% of the installation it hangs and when i try to recover it doesnt work. Now i only have the screen with the green red and blue at the background. I've tried a hard reset but that doesnt work either and i tried to search by google and found nothing.
Am i right that i had to remove some kind of G4 lock? And does somebody know how to help me getting things started again.....
thnx in advance.

do your carriers flash and let it fully finish. Once thats done, read a little on making sure your device is unlocked and once you get that done, youll be ready to move to the next level.
what your device is g3 or g4?

how do i perform such a flash and how can i see what kind of G3/4 i have??

If you got a G4 or G3 IPL/SPL 2.x:
Try flasing wizard_love rom from the bootloader screen.
If you got IPL/SPL 1.x:
flash button_rom from the bootloader screen.

damn thats a whole mouth full and i dont get it how its intended.....
perhaps you can tell me in dutch or in a language a stupid fool can understand

You should provide more information... What phone model is this? Is it a G3 or G4? What is your IPL / SPL? What did you do before this started happening? Was the battery fully charged before you started this process? Did your PC give you errors when you tried to do teh initial flash that started this process?
The more information you provide the better we can help.
If your phone won't stay turned on when its on the bootloader (rainbow screen) then either your battery is almost dead, or you may have bricked your phone. But we need more details.

this happened to me once, i almost had an heart attack.. but anyway.. what u get there is the bootloader mode, which is you can still save the phone.. when this happened to me, all i did was, i upgraded to original tmobile rom, and from there i ve used shell tool to upgrade to wm6 (my wizard is not unlocked but shelltool takes care of that and u dont have to worry).. its really easy.. let me know what happened.. no worries

Dont worry guys... I think most of us here, faced the same things before, Me included.
Everybody here is quite nice and will help u in any way we can..
Just do some research and fact finding before u flash your rom..
One of the article that I think is very helpful to me is Dr P post on how to unlock and flash your wizard.
If you have any problem or question after reading that, just ask.
Hopefully u can find your answer and your wizard are all healthy..

my phone is G4...first, when i tryed to change the rom, on 95% was blocked..and i have wait about 20 minutes, and nothing...the spl is....01...the battery was quite full, but after several tries, i don't know now how it is (i supose to be from the battery, but i still need a very good rom for it)

ok.. here are the steps.. its very easy.. i had the samething..
your phone is probably CID locked and you will need a shelltool to install that ROM.. so what you need to do is just download the original tmobile ROM.. and connect the phone and install the original ROM.. You didnt birck the phone because you get the bootloader screen.. which means, you can still save the phone..
anyway.. connect the phone via usb and install after you install the original wm5, download the shelltool from here and follow the instructions.. and install the ROM via shelltool.. Then you should be good to go with the new
wm6.

Simple: Go to the Wizard Upgrading forum and in the stickies is a post by Dr. Putingham on how to CID Unlock your device. Scroll to the bottom of the first post and there is a direct link to pull the Tmobile 2.26 official ROM.
But as EasyMob suggested (and gave a link to) you may be better off with teh Wizard Love rom since you are a G4 device. Wizard Love ROM is very good at recovering G4 devices.

If you read my previous post, I gave you exactly how to find the link (Hint, its in the first post of Dr. Putingham's sticky in the Wizard Upgrading forum and the title is about How to CID Unlock your device. Was that too hard?

i believe you, but i can't find it...and about 3 days i'm hopeless, because with any ROM version, the phone is still restarting, after reflashing (i didn't flash it with tmobile original rom)...please please, give me the link of the topic...

Please Help!! Phone Completely Bricked

I think I may be completely screwed but hopefully someone here can help me.
I tried running the shelltool program to flash to faria's wm6 rom and now my phone is completley bricked. It is stuck on the first screen when you power the device on, the screen that says T-Mobile and tells you what rom and radio version are installed on the phone.
I have tried running the RUU provided by T-Mobile and that didnt work and I have also tried re-flashing the rom using the shelltool program using the original rom. Nothing is working and I am desperate for help.
If anyone has any ideas, please help me as this is my only cell phone and I do not have the money to replace it.
Please, please help if you can.

Did you put the phone into bootloader mode? Turn it off (pull the battery if you have to). Then hold the camera button while you turn the phone on. You'll get the bootloader screen. From there you should be able to flash a rom. (I assume Shell Tools works here, but I don't know). Is your phone a G4 or a G3?. Safest thing is to flash the Wizard Love rom I'd assume. See the stickie at the top of the forum about how to flash as it has links and all...

Thank you so much man... You seriously save my A$$.

If you are not doing it already, I recommend to back-flash first to the latest vendor provided ROM, flash your radio ROM of choice if you want (optional), then finally flash the latest ROM. This ensures that you have a solid base to start out with.

ok I have completely rebooted the phone to the base rom provided by t-mobile but I am having trouble finding shelltool so that i can still flash the rom i really want.
right now it is the standard tmobile rom.
If you know where I can download shelltool so I can flash the custom rom i want then that would be great.

A little searching or looking at the topics would have gave you your answer.

thank you thank you thank you.
PPCKitchen's BuildOS bricked my phone, and I had to do this to save it. I certainly won't muck with that app again.

Ok, please read the stickies before reflashing. Or you'll kill your device again.

Jocky HardSPL etc

OK please don't flame me as I am going round and round in circles jumping from one thread link to another trying to get to grips with this stuff!
OK...
The other day I tried to install the hardspl and got the white screen problem.
I followed the thread to sort that out and all appeard ok and the phone continued to work OK under HTC stock 6.1
Yesterday I flashed L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release and have been playing around with it trying to sort stuff out.
I then started reading the thread about ultimate radios and trying to work out what other radios work with this ROM and how I go about installing them and read I need to confirm the spl I am on and so did the hold camera button and reset to see the spl version.
It says the following:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.0liPof
CPLD-8
Now from what I understand it should say SPL-3.2X or similar?
But it does not?
I thought that I needed the SPL-3.2X etc in order to flash cooked ROMS but it looks like I dont have that......so how was I able to flask L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release ?
Thanks

Read the SQL Questions thread in the Wiki. It will explain a lot of this to you.
In short, any HardSPL will allow you to flash, it's just the 3.* ones are more compatable with the latest WM6.1 builds.
EDIT:
Normally I'd flame you for this, but Im already flaming another noob atm That doesn't mean someone else wont flame you later.

If you are able to flash a ROM onto your device, then you must have an UNLOCKED phone. For simple instructions on upgrading to the new SPL I suggest you visit the following :

Good luck.

Well I am sure I am gonna get flamed for this post, but here goes....
BTW "I AM NOT MOANING OR PICKING FOR AN ARGUMENT" I know this info here is given as is and appreciate the time people spend putting it all together
For the noob there is a trillion things to read here all of which lead to another trillion things which lead to ......
This phone flashing is all new to me and as I paid £434 for it I dont want to brick it, a term along with many I have never heard of before coming here.
I digress...
Anyway after reading and trying to understand it all I have flashed my phone and it works a treat and I am happy, just still in the dark about many things.
The thing is as a noob it is extremely daunting to start to read a thread, wiki etc to try to understand about a topic which diverts you to threads which divert, divert, divert so that after 3-4 diversions you foget what it was you were readiing about to start with!
And then you get to the point....I dont understand this...should I post lest I get flamed.......
So basically from a noobs point of view....everyone was a noob at some point, be gentle with us!
OK.....let the pachjo bash commence...........

Not a flame, just my way of working...
You raise some good points about the amount of info here. But like most here I managed to flash my device without posting a single new thread. If I had a problem with a step I posted there.
_Alex_ has consolodated most info into the single sticky. And there are step by step guides and FAQs on the Wiki.
I just took it one topic at a time:
*Found a ROM, said I needed HardSPL.
*Found HardSPL, installed it.
*Flashed ROM.
*No sound, found thread explaining about Radios. Flashed Radio.
*and so on.
I was (and still do) always reading thread that I found related to me learning as I go and helping where I can. I too like you knew nothing when I first joined and no one minds "noobs" asking questions in the relevant threads when they get stuck, but this is ROM development forum. All new threads should pertain to ROM "development".

you must use (aka JumpSPL )file before changing the SPL
this jumber must be in your device before flashing the new hard SPL

Thanks guys.....am reading away and will take onboard your comments

first off, you can flash any rom with the olipof hardspl 1.0. the problem is, you will get screen freezes every once in a while. Using jumpspl, you can go to another hardspl. Usually jumpspl is included in all the new hardspls, but maybe not. Get familiar with what jumpspl is and then switch to hardspl.

Help for reverting back to origianl rom! Urgent!!!

first of all sorry for y English...
Ive been read the threads about that, but ive this problem:
i ve a hardspl 3.29 and trying to downgrade to original rom the flashing process stops at 15%.
i can install only custom rom and so i cant reverting back to original rom and spl.
ive been tried to flash first the spl but not working...
someone can help me please?
thx!!

wow, I don't think I've ever haleard it this way before. Usually you can't upgrade to a cooked ROM, not the other way around.
So, you get no errors while installing a cooked ROM, but it stops at 15% when trying to downgrade...
I know that some shipped ROMs flash the SPL at 15%, so this must be the problem.
Undortunately, I am a lucky one who has never had anything bad happen to me while flashing (besides my laptop running out of battery), so I don't really have much advice to give you, but I'm sure somebody else will.
Sorry, hope it all goes well for you

HardSPL prevents itself from being replaced. You need to run JumpSPL or SSPL-KAIS on the phone when it is running WM as normal, which will switch you to triciolor screen, where you can flash the original SPL.
This should be detailed in the "How to revert to factory state" page in the wiki.

thx but ive been done all and now my kaiser it's brick on bootloader:
dont allow to flash hard spl
dont allow to flash custom rom
dont allow to flsh original rom

Try reviving your phone by flashing stock / OEM again.
(are you sure you follow every single steps, including removing battery, etc. exactly from mskip's tutorial? I did and it worked smooth)
If everything fails, try this thread:

(You should be able to find it if you read the new FAQ .. it's among the stickies)
