Urgent Help Needed! - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Hi Guys,
I stupidly installed the Cotulla rom for G3 devices on my fathers G4 and now whenever it boots it says NOT FOR G4. Is there any way I can restore it to what it was before or anything? I really hope I havent ruined it as its around £200 worth of phone. If you can help. PLEASE respond here.
Much Appreciated.

Take it easy.... do a doc format and try to install another rom which works in G4... instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567017

as always been told, read the instruction first before flashing. better yet, read the wiki, its the only sticky thread thus cannot escape anyone's attention. it will certainly help yu solve yur problem with ease..

Ah, How do I go about a doc format? Which one of the links in that thread you directed me to is the right one? I really need to get this done in 48 hours since hes coming back from spain. I thought I'd surprise him with a new rom instead I think I may have bricked his phone :S. I'd appreciate if you could respond Rajivshahi. Also phezthie. Cotullas thread was not at all clear on what would happen if i installed it on a G4 or how to even spot a G4 for that matter.

Figured out how to do a DOC format using mtty. But I dont know how to reflash the device (This time ill use a G4 rom lol)

Ok first try to install the G4 rom same way as you installed... if it doesn't install then only use doc format which can be found here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DOC_Format
and this is how you spot a G4 from G3 .... G3 devices have a boot loader up to 1.99999 and G4 devices have 2.XXXXX in bootloader mode....
and good luck it won't take 48hours at max 1 hours.... so still surprise for your dad....

Ok. i installed it using a .exe when i connected the device to my pc. should i do the same? then if not format using DOC. But if i format using DOC how do i reflash? I know how to flash using the .exe but not how using DOC.

Same after doing Doc format... disconnect from pc Put it in bootloader mode ( power + backlight + reset button ) simulteniously and just plug it in your computer and just double click the ROMUpgradeUt.exe it should do the rest, and if it's Tomal's rom just double click it and it will do the work....

ok. but for some reason when i connect the device to my pc then open mtty i only see port COM1 and port COM2 is this common or is it because im running Windows 7. also do u reccomend tomal v9 or v10

also do u have msn so you can guide me step by step?

Try to do it in vista as it is the easiest, for windows 7 you need to download some driver and install it, if it's 64 bit then you need to disable the digital signature before you boot.... tomal v9 and v10 both is wm6.5 so it eat's lots of memory so you want more ram to play around then use v8.9 ( which is wm 6.1).... for flashing under windows 7 see this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481205&page=2

ah ok. ill just move downstairs onto my dads windows xp pc and do it from there. save hassle. is tomal v10 and 8.9 compatible with G4 devices?

yes both of them are.... only contulla's rom is for G3...lol

Thank you so much. I managed to install Tomal's 8.9 but for some reason it says the radio is 0. what is the radio and what does it mean by 0? Also how can i tell how much RAM i have.

SO it says radio is zero ???? try to make a call.... radio is for network reception... and to see how much free ram you have go to start>setting>system>memory.... and try to make call and see if it works otherwise you have to fix your radio... or try to reset your device and see on your bottom right and tell me the value for R x.xx.xx
R x.xx.xx
G xx.xx.xx

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.
greetz
JohnGotti
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.

Try to flash each part one at a time, not all of them at the same time.
Note that this ROM do not work with some extended rom and that blank page at first was the reason of that. Flash your extended rom with the tomal's own extended rom. You can find it...(oh no it has been removed, I will try to upload it for you). After flashing the extended rom try ato re-flash the rom and at last try to re-flash the radio (If you need it). Beware that flashing extended rom will erase your own extended rom so try to find one and decode its files to have your customization files back...
Hope it works
I have problem uploading file try to search for "Tomal_extrom" yourself and I will try to upload it...
Tried to flash Tomals ext ROM...but wont work too....I'm hopeless, maybe I should say goodbye to my uni,.....

Seems your DOC is corrupted and unable to write.
Use mtty tool and re-format it, I'm pretty sure that everything will be OK then. But make sure that you have disabled AS before executing mtty!
pls give the action step by step, im very hopeless

the wiki is your friend: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
Do not try to use copy paste in MTTY, type every command.
Before doing this ( steps 1 to 17) beware that you must download an original rom to get the windows mobile rom, the radio rom and the extended rom ( see step 13).
Last time I took Tomal v8.2, his extended rom and radio 1.15, put all 3 in the RUU folder and runned the update utility. It will take arround 20 minutos to flash the 3 files. thx to TehPenguin you can get these files here: http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/ROMs/Tomal/ and here: http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/Radios/
Be advised that I've not read the other posts on the thread, so I don't know if you should try this process or not.

Please Help Me With the Bootloading screen?

I followed all of the steps to flash a new ROM into my tilt. I attempted to install a hard SPL 1.93, but it stuck me at the bootloading screen. I can't active sync because im at the screen and it wont let me. I tried the program mtty, but i cant get it to work because it wont register. it says...:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
I know i'll probably get banned from the forums, but I'm just hoping someone can give me a quick answer. I appreciate the help.
never heard of that HardSPL, only 3 versions.
Go grab a proper HardSPL (I recommend 3.29) and see if you can flash that, but you should properly study first.
Also, please read the Flashing For Noobs section and DO NOT MAKE NEW THREADS FOR COMMON PROBLEMS

ok try this just plug your phone up to the usb cable and flash a stock rom. Dont worry about the sync your phone wont sync to your pc when in bootloader. Only a stock rom DONT flash a custom rom. After you flash the stock rom you should be able to start over. I hope that this helps
sorry to sound like a newb but how would I go about doing that? I have it downloaded.. and I ran it on my computer? now what?

Help Flashing rom...

Ok so I have a HTC Touch Pro and eveytime i try to Flash my rom using the HARDSPL, I get a communication error that says, The Update utility cannot connect to your phone. The phone is active sync'd and connected. So I can't figure out what is going on. I hard reset thinking that would help but it didn't. Some one please help me, I just want my phone to run correctly with a new rom and this is driving me absolutely insane.
does it happen when you try to hard spl? or when you try flashing a rom after a hard spl

Hi,
Seems you run in the Firewall-error... disable (or shutdown your firewall) and try again.
Dirk
Yeah its in HARDSPL but it wouldn't even let me do a stock rom (for ****s and giggles i tried this)...never thought about the firewall ill be home in an hour and will try it out...let you know how it goes thanks for the response
I was wishing that it was that... I disabled my antivirus and my windows firewall was already off...any more ideas? Just to give you guys some facts
1. Touch Pro
2. Trying to use HardSPL to unlock my phone
3. When i try to run it recognizes what rom version I have and tells me what im updating to.
4.I hit next and it goes to the progress bar on the screen.
5. Nothing happens on my phone
6. Then hardspl errors out
???
can anyone help?

Hi again
I'm not that familiar with HardSPL, but .. do you need to run it every time you flash , or is it only the first time needed ?
And another tought ran through my mind : are you connecting your device directly to your PC, or via a USB-hub ? Hubs tend to be a problem in such ocassions ...
Dirk
thanks again for an answer dirk...You need hardspl the first time only, from there on you can just flash roms...I am also not using a hub...
Two quick notes... 1. I tried to use the cord that came with it to power an external hard drive and it didnt work...then i switched it to my 6700 mini usb and the hard drive did work. So I'll try that cord with my phone.
2. im going to try to do it on one of my clients computers also tonight.
I post back with results....
Thanks again
Kind of sounds like you don't have Hardspl on it. What does it say when you go into bootloader? GSM or CDMA Touch Pro ?
Ok it comes up with tri color bars for a half second then says...
Loading...
No image file!
Than it goes back to the tri color screen and reads as follows...
Security Unlocked
Raph800
SPL-0.37.0000
MicroP-Hermann (LED) V0C85
MicroP-Hermann (KEY) V0685
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20
Hope this helps!
Also its a CDMA... Sprint Touch Pro
Anyone have something similar happen to them while flashing?
After doing a bunch of reading I understand that the HardSPL didn't work...but im not sure what im doing wrong. I think im messing up the steps somehow?

Hi again
I don't think you're messing up steps... it looks more like messing up systems. Are you sure the ROM you want to install suits your CDMA-phone ? There are some basic differences between GSM and CDMA...

easy, Wiki is the best answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303558
and also here http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/HTC_Vox
please read first.
Read the wiki for complete answers...but in short:
1.http://www.wordreference.com/definition/vox
2.radio version is like the part of the phone that has to manage the "communicating part" of the phone....like making calls, receiving the signal, calls quality.wi-fi, bluetooth...etc..Different radio versions do different performances of the phone...and some seems to improve battery life.
3. Classic is for Pda (touchscreen) without "Phone capability", Professional "is for PDA(touchscreen)-Phones", Standard is for smartphone (non touchscreen)
4. ROM is the "mass-memory" part of the phone...where you store the Operating System and programs..if you have enough space ( think of it like the Hard disc of the OS for a pc). WWE means standard english version.
5. Read the wiki....basically. Backup of your data (contacts, sms etc..)>backup of the rom (optional)> Unlock> Flash SPL> Flash rom. Easier and quicker than it seems.
6. NO soft reset is a normal reset of the phone.Like you do when you shut it off, and then you power it on. Data is still there. HARD RESET...Deletes all your data...it's like having a phone just flashed with a ROM...(or in a PC when you have just formatted your hard drive and then reinstalled your Operating System)
7. Is this a question????? BTW if your battery lasts some hours...maybe it's time to change it...it's not so unusual.
8. It should be 6.0
It's your choice to upgrade...FOR ME, IMHO, all the way...phone gets better.
When you do it one time...you will do it all the time...with the pleasure of testing new roms...so you'll have your personal opinion about the best the suit your needs.
regards
Thanks

Where will i get latest official rom for my vox, i m not able to download it frm htc site. It says that the update is not for my device S/N.... Plz help, can any one give me a direct download link frm any other site like media fire, rapidshare etc..

I cannot upload it somewhere for you...no broadband connection here, where I live

Thanks to both of u.......
U guys r great.......great....... Thanks, i m downloading.....wwe1.34. If i will face any problem while flashing...again i will come to u guys for help if u dont mind.
Then afterwards i will try cooked rom
thanks, thanks a lot...........................
With official roms you don't have to do the whole USPL thing...just plug it ot your USB cable (check that ActiveSync is connected) and start flashing.
BTW if you flash cooked roms...you have to do USPL,
Normally if you flash USPL than you can flash every cooked rom without worries, and without do the USPL thing every time...just the first
BTW if you flash a OFFICIAL rom after a cooked rom you restore again USPL.
So the next time you have tu USPL again.
Hope I've been clear.
thanks again for reply
yes i got u....now i understood what u said.
I wantd to ask one more thing, i m afraid of flashing with active sync via pc, and usually i dont get
time to sit on the pc during, i do all my blog search surfiing etc.... on my N97..

If you execute the exe file, it will give you the ROM image file, a nbh file. That IS the ROM file actually, others are just tools to write that nbh to your device thru activesync.
Hope it helps
