I am a little confused. I have been trying to get WM6 on my T-mobile Wizard and actually got TNT 1.1 loaded and was working fine. I found that I could no longer view my contacts. The page would appear and then as quickly as it appeared it disappeared.
So I figured, I at least got it this far. I will just reload this rom and see if perhaps something did load right. Well after the reload. The phone boots up to the splash screen with IPL\SPL numbers and just sits. NOTHING.
I left it there for like 2 hours and still nothing. But I can still get into the BootLoader.
My questions to you gurus is:
Is the phone fubared?
Can I do some kind of master reset?
Why would it tell me "Invalid Vendor ID" when trying to flash the orginal T-mobile rom?
Are there any tools that can help me out? Paid\free?
Please help!!! Seriously! Please HELP!!!
Very much appreciated.
Thanks

if your device is G3, unlocking is required to flash any rom, before upgrade your device, it is recommended to flash an official WM5.0 rom (in your case T-Mobile rom) with IPL and SPL 2.xx then flash again.
in general there are many probabilities for your issue.
((Where is TNT1.1?? did you mean 1.0?? ))
My Bad meant 1.0
So to get it straight.... I will need to unlock my phone each time?
Oh and to correct myself again, when flashing with the T-mobile ROM it says UPGRADE ONLY. And the read me file says its the wrong RUU. But it is the same file from Tmobile I used when I first got the phone. But I will try again.
Are there any other suggestions?
You need to read the "how to flash" sticky.
I did. I am not any expert or anything but I believe the phone is unlocked already since I once had WM6 on my phone. The real issue I am having is that it wont boot past the splash screen after flashing.
And that is true when re following the steps in guide. After flashing to the button rom it will not boot past the splash screen.
Try another ROM.
Sounds like you need the "Wizard Love" rom. I dont have the link handy but I am sure someone else does.

Already got it. Thanks I am trying to load it now. But the only thing is that the last time it failed and I can understand what the error says. I know the number is 300 but can read the language.
But I will let you guys know when this load completes.
Thanks again for all the assistance.
No worky worky. The load completed and then boots the splash screen shows and then stays there.
Any ideas?
Try to remove the battery and let it out for at least half an hour. Then put it back in and see what it does then.
I thought the same thing too. So when it got done last night, out of frustration, I removed the battery and left it there to wait on when I get off work today. I will report back on what happens.
Again I would like to thank you guys for helping me. I really do appreciate it!
STEP 1 install the original manufacturer ROM
T-mobile UK
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
T-mobile US
http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
Search for the original rom for any other
instructions on how to use the original rom can be found here
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm23294.htm?&A2L.SERVICE=AboutUpgrading
Put it in the bootloader mode.. ( three color screens )
hope this helps..
cheers
Praneet
Ok I did that and it gave me ERROR 296: UPGRADE ONLY
Then it tells me that the NBF file cannot be used for my PDA Phone. Please get newer NBF file.
Is there any way I can get the Tmobile splash and IPL\SPL number back to original, it doesnt need to boot all the way into WCE but atleast show the same numbers and splash during boot up?
Or any other way to get this thing to work?
Thanks guys
BTW it is a HTC Wizard from T-mobile.
If you are getting an error 300 you need a newer rom update utility, and regardless if your phone is a G3 or G4 it needs to be unlocked before you flash any rom.. LOAD a OFFICIAL cingular ROM onto your device before going any further, then unlock your phone either via www.imei-check.com or through some of the tools offered here...
Which one should I down load from Cingular? Even though I have a Tmobile phone?
what ipl and spl are you using and what radio are you using. Just post all the numbers from the bootloader
As soon as I get home, I will post them.
Thanks
Ipl 1.01
Spl 3.08
Thanks

uh oh. someone tell me if I'm wrong, but I think this is bad. it's the result of flashing a g4 with g3 or the other way around... keep searching, and good luck.
flash the original t-mobile rom. your phone doesn't appear to be unlocked. good luck
Hi all i have been using this forum for some time now and this is one of the first times that i have had to post on here the problem i have is very strange if any one can help will be most helful
I have just got my 2 XDA EXEC and upgarded the rom on it now the problem i have is that it seems to have upgraded or downgraded the radio to 1.06 as well and now i cant seem to upgrade it to a difrent radio i have tried to restore back to o2 rom but i get a country code error so i use some thing else to try and bypass it and then i get an error saying radio rom error i have also tried to use the unlock program to remove the cid and still get the radio rom error also i cant use 3g sim card the standard ones are ok and i get a siganl nut no 3g enabled sim card womnt work
any help thanks
Hi, and welcome aboard!
A tip for posting first off: punctuation, and capital letters are your friends!
Second, is there even such a radio as 1.06? The factory default is 1.15, and I haven't seen a lower version...
If nothing else works, download mtty, link up your phone as if you were upgrading it, and then look up the command list for Universal. Make a backup of all your personal and needed stuff, go into bootloader, pray, and enter the command for formatting the DOC(Disk-On-Chip). This should theoretically reset the device into a state it was in when it rolled off the production line at HTC, so you can now install any ROM you want.
CAUTION: This can misfire, and if it does, it does so big time, meaning unless you know what you're doing, you can end up with a very expensive paperweight. USE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!
I haven't had to use this before, though once I got pretty close to it...
Good luck m8!
After loading the Stylez Black v.4 WM6.1 21051 D3D 101MB Full rom my phone give some problems, so i want to go back to the T-Mobile ROM.

Anyone ?? Please?
Hard-SPL bypasses Vendor Model check so shouldn't have any problem flashing any stock ROM have you tried others? Try and flash a HTC or AT&T stock, just a bizarre thing as everyone flashes stocks at some point especially if nearly brick and peeps generally flash stocks to bypass 6.5 hard-reset issue.
Can you go into bootloader and reply with Hard-SPL you have?
Also another way is to try flashing via SD, info in the flashing for noobs guide in sticky.
Same Issue
Hi,
I also use Hard SPL to flash new ROMs, however i also face the same issue with certain roms, currently i remember i has similar issues with ATNT rom.
Ok, or i am a realy noob or i doing somthing wrong...
Now when ik start the phone i get the Tri Color : (Red, Green, Blue Screen)
I did a hard reset en now the phone shows the boot screen (Stylez)
When i take the batterij off and put it in after 20 secs again or the tri color or the boot screen is loading or the screen is black.....
Please don't say that i can trow him into the trash...
All you have described there is normal. Now just follow the noobs guide to flashing in the sticky and do everything it says word for word. If the usb method doesnt work then use the sd card way.

Sorry but i want to be shure, you mean this topic?
And if so, how do i load the rom?
Because the phone is not starting up normal,...
If you want i can make screenshots from the pc and make images so you can see?
Sorry for this noob questions....
Yes that is the thread I meant. So did you follow all that was said to do in the link about kaiser stuck at tri colour screen bootloader?
Ok, tryed but with the boot screen and with the Tri Color screen i can not make any USB connection with MTTY, when i start the kaiser with the camera button and with the powerbuton i can connect (USB is also an option (COM1 and COM2 also)).
But is this a correct move?
*contacted user via MSN*
Also tried several steps using the SD card but the phone will still hang into the tri-colour. It says loading, but won't reboot or do anything else.
Suggestions are still open.
FYI: It's a branded phone and wasn't CID-unlocked before. (Still not AFAIK)
Universal Androot confirmed working. This method is no longer needed and is to dangourous for some people so please use universal androot 1.5.3+
IF READ CORRECTLY YOU WILL NOT BRICK. BUT, Since a few of you dont have that ability, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BRICKING YOUR PHONE. There are no pros to rooting this phone yet, leave it alone if you dont know what your doing PLEASE. I beg you. You are in essence almost bricking your phone in order to root it in the first place. These arent fun and games, It is dangerous to rush this stuff
Listen.. Im more then happy to help people. BUt I fully understand why so many devs have left this place. Some of you are so utterly ridiculous with your questions, wanting someone to hold your hand. I cant sit on gtalk for hours helping you go through what should take 10 min , I have a life and kids and other things to do. I did this because I was bored and wanted to see if I could. There is not point in rooting it yet, there are no roms, nor will there be for at least a month. Please, if you cant even understand simple questions, have never rooted or even used an android phone before, please.. do not bother me. This place is insane with stupidity. I will change the tutorial in a little more detail later, but fo rnow, DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YORU DOING. IF YOUR BREAK YOUR CRAP< I DONT CARE, BECAUSE IT WASNT MY FAULT.
I am in no way an angry or mean person, but you people have given me a migraine. I see why all the rom devs hide from here so much
THERE IS NO POINT IN ROOTING THIS PHONE YET PEOPLE, SO STOP.. OMG PLEASE STOP LOL
IT HAS BEEN DONE!!! lol
After 3 days, sleepless night and 5 min from returning the phone, Together with the Awesome Cursordroid We have achieved full root of the fender mytouch/ Mytouch 1.2 revision.
Now.. Understand.. not many will have the fender Mytouch.. but this is the hardware they WILL be using in the fully confirmed Mytouch 1.2
If you do not follow my instructions fully, NOTHING WILL WORK.
Start by making a working gold card, pay VERY CLOSE attention to what the instructions for making a gold card say
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
READ READ READ. DO NOT download the SAPPimg.zip file it says on that page.
Get the top fixed SPL file 2010 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4332591&postcount=1
Once you have you working goldcard (remember, apply to PHYSICAL not LOGICAL) rename the fixed SPL/rom you just downloaded to SAPPIMG.img
Put that file on your gold card
Hold volume down while hitting power
You will boot into Hboot, and if goldcard was made correcly and file is in root, it will begin to read. MAke sure battery is full or chargeing. follow on screen directions for flashing. Reboot into Hboot.
You are now screwed with a downgraded SPL and radio that do not work on this phone YAAAAAAY.
Now grab the stock radio and SPL from Cursordroid here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5451898&posted=1#post5451898
From there on follow hiw directions for reupdating your radio and spl, plus give yourself a new recovery making ROOT.
Im not good at tutorials or typing on a tiny netbook keyboard so please forgive. Anyquestions please ask and I will go into more detail
In order
Goldcard
Amen ras fixed spl rom renamed SAPPIMG.img
Boot into Hboot volume down/power
let rom install saying yes to what it says. If it works..
Now boot into your recovery through fastboot
Flash phone with stock fender rom
reboot into fastboot
back out of update when it asks and flash STOCK radio and SPL back, now reboot
your splash screen for fender IS GONE, get over it. You can make a new one later if you realllly need to.
if you build the thread they will come, oh yes, they will come.

lol.. I figured if I could get a thread up with all our info, maybe I could get more people interested just for the fact hat nothing now works... which means this could be the same build in the coming Mytouch 1.2 that is basicly the same exact phone as the fender.
hey, im new here but i have a rooted g1. and i've been skimming thru the fender pages.
I also work at tmobile and used my discount to snag the fender. but as of now im still using my rooted g1 which currently has a tiny scratch on it which i cant stand "hence why i got a fender".
seems to me once the new mytouches come out with the 32a and 3.5 mm jack there will be more attempting to pwn his phone.
im still fairly new to all of this soo im tryin to soak up as much knowledge as i can.
but still w/o the root. the fender still is a sweet phone haha.
idk what to do with it, it just sits in my room i havent even put my sim into it yet. im deciding either to sell it or just let it sit until it can be rooted.
i use the wireless tether too much to switch to the mytouch.
in the mean time g'luck! kinda rough for us LE owners cuz only few people have it to play around with.
This might be noob as I am not 100% sure what perfected SPL means, but I had a SPL that gave the fastboot "no remote" error.
I used an official SEA RUU that comes with a ENG SPL, then I could update change what ever I wanted.
Thought I would just through it out there.
My phone is a model A6161.
Make a goldcard.
Then try to find an official HTC RUU with version higher than 2.08.531.1 but which has an open SPL or is only Cupcake so 1-click-root will work.
If that doesn't work just try a regular sappimg.nbh, but with goldcard too.

The problem is after days of reading and trying 5 different sapp.img every file gets the same device id failure. But I do understand having to find a higher number rom so Ill start on that quest.
So basicly what you saying is I need to find a pre rooted "offcial" rom that has and eng SPL allready or a 1.5 rom with open spl?
Ill try the 1.5 cupcake idea because the goldcard methos so far doesnt seem to work but that would make sense if we are trying to use to old a versions to root.
Looks like I have a new project for the day lol

I've already tried that, didnt work for me, got "Invalid device ID" however, I cannot make a gold-card because I always get "damaged sd card" or windows says I need to format it right. I'm 100% sure I did it right to three different SD cards, and I still got the same error.
--edit-- if you successfully make a goldcard for this phone, Ill pm you for shipping info LOL!

I think, your current way will not end with success.
Wrong model id or device id means, that HTC decided pick out Fender in another serie. Yes, i agree, that Fender has same SPL as Magics, but trying flash anything, that has another model id like trying flash Hero's ROM to Tattoo.
SPL ia like a computer's BIOS. SO if you flash foreign bios - your comp will probably die....
Saddened by the fact that Fender is limited edition. So it will not have big knowledgebase like Magic.

I'm new here, but typically how do people go about getting the attention of devs? Is it just create a thread an hope enough people show interest? Should we do a roll call of how many actually are interested in rooting this phone?

No.. I got the gold card made. The only reason it ever comes up as damged or reformat is because you applied the goldimg to the logical drive which is at top of list as opposed to Physical REMOVABLE DISK at the bottm. Its the only time I can get the error. but if I apply the goldimg to the logical drive it makes a perfect goldcard everytime. I tested it on aspar g1. So... its not a godl card problem lol

Looking through here for HTC RUU roms I seem to keep geeting dragged to the hero and WinMob forums which I dont think I should be. Where exactly would I find this?
My ideas are..
Find a rom of higher version that is rooted see if it works.
Find an older 1.5 build (which is proving hard) and go from there
Try and flash the rooted fender donut over it and see the results.
My main problem with this is, I dont think its able to be downgraded past 1.6.. Just like newer PSP's cant be downgraded to 1.5
After formatiing my 2gb sandisk (which may be the problem) now when using the 98mb SAPPIMG.zip I get "Main version is older" instead of "Device id failed"
Is this a good sign to on the right track? Im going to try the 62mb SappIMG.zip from amon ra's tut as soon as its done downloading and see if theres a difference.
Now.. what does main version is older mean? The firmware or the spl/radio. if so... is there a newer version i can use/or substitute a file for the Sappimg.nbh to just install a higher version rom.
Man.. The G1 is so much easier to do all this with lol
YEEEEES. Ok. I freaking fracking diddley did it. OMG i was sooo scared.
Wooo So happy now.
I unable to update my OP and thread title if a mod can help me with that.
If noone minds I am going to post my first ever tutorial on something. this was a real pain but I am up and running on Amon ras latest rom for now. On to the recovery....
EDIT-- Got a fully functioning Manups 2.1 1.5 going. THEBLUECOAT if you want to know how to do it PM me... Otherwise give me about an hour or so and I will have a full tut posted
AHHH.. EVEN worse.. I noticed now that it says I have a 32b board NOOOO
EDIT2- Such a dumbass I didnt make a backup of the orignal. Poop.. I liked the boot image and music apps. I just wish I could figure out why all roms so far dont recognize the touch screen as being there and want me to use the track ball. Even power button has 1 option Power off lol
UMMM touch screen not working. What didnt I do?
How do I get my SDCARD to not show up under logical, its under logical but the drive says "removable disk" all I have are phones to use, would this not be possible or would I need a driver replacement

you HAVE to use a card reader. thats where your problem has been. You have to use a card reader so that it sees the reader AND the card seperatly. So in hex, you dont see Logical drive then a row and then Physical and a row?
Im not pissed... I had the 2010 eng spl... trying to flash roms. No rom would use touch screen. so started over and ened up with a 32 b board now and a perfected spl again.... lol Argh... trying through it again now.

I used Amen ras newest Fixed spl fix 1.33.2010, made my gold card, renamed that file to SAPPIMG.zip, went into Hboot and it flashed without a problem.
I then rebooted into Hboot seeing the new Info.. Didnt look at the 32a/32b part yet so not sure if it happened there.
It then rebooted into whatever rom that file came with (look for Amen ras Fixed spl thread) the rom came up, with no tocu screen. only the track ball worked.
I rebooted and stupidly jumped right into flashing a couple of the new clair builds from king and.. the othe rguy lol. neither had touch support. I then went back to update to manups newest and used the 32a port file, and no touch screen...
I then rebooted and flashed the amen ra rom and rebooted into a Mytouch boot loop... went into Hboot and had a perfected spl and S-on. ARGH.
Just started from scratch again. Im really wondering why i loose touch screen support and why in the hell it say 32b now
WHAT THIS IS FOR:
This is for those of you that upgraded to the newest rogers rom, and caught yourselves with an unrooted device.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Emergency phone calls are broken in this version (the whole reason for the upgrade), so see to it that you switch to a rom / boot.img that doesn't suck. (thanks a lot rogers >_>)
http://haykuro.polygonize.com/ROGERSDREAM.nbh.zip
Steps to take:
1. Download the file
2. Extract and rename to DREAIMG.nbh
3. Place on root of SD card (your SD card has to be formatted as FAT32 if it fails to find it in the next step!)
4. Power off, hold camera button, power on. This will boot into SPL and prompt you to install. Proceed.
5. After your phone is done flashing, it will prompt you to press another key to reboot the phone. Do so.
6. Use flashrec, and follow procedures to root again.
Haykuro strikes again! I didnt put the update on but im sure this will be put to good use.
wow dat was quick, so downgrade and follow the rooting process again is it ?
Gonna be the first guinea pig then...

What is this supposed to do? Should this be applied if we've already updated to the new Rogers rom?
What will this do if we haven't updated yet, but are still using something like CM 4.2.13?

if u havent update to the new rogers rom and having CM 4.2.13 then forget abt this,
if u flash rogers rom u will lose your root as i did
so better not to if u like the root, cos there is nothing special with the rogers update,
but the Magic update is awesome

ok update failed
dammm... was hoping for a fix!
Dropped the nbh file in my goldcard....nada....failed the same way.
I even ran the 1.89 RUU and replaced the rom.nbh file in the temp folder with the old one we all downloaded and named it rom.nbh.... just to see what would happen....failed
I'll have to try another goldcard....I might have messed up somewhere.
Can someone please try this with a goldcard and see if it works?
Thanks haykuro for getting on the ball on this....
Rogers.....karma is gonna be a B*&%$......for you guys one day....
I already tried the older rom and it failed. I also tried with a goldcard and got the same response.
maybe I made a booboo, so if someone can make a goldcard image and send it to me ([email protected]) I'll give it another try.
This is my cid:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:a32a/cid
0353445355323536802111d32400892e
weird, I have lost all the signal ever since trying to flash the nbh file

I already tried the older rom and it failed. I also tried with a goldcard and got the same response.
maybe I made a booboo, so if someone can make a goldcard image and send it to me ([email protected]) I'll give it another try.
This is my cid:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:a32a/cid

I actually spoke to HTC customer service on the phone. They said Rogers wanted it this way (a 1.5 build with no other fixes besides the 911 fix). So yes, HTC makes it, but Rogers wanted it this way.
Even without all this, still **** Rogers. They're still spineless sacks of ****.

... and that is even though HTC would be perfectly happy to make a 1.6 for them.
I assume that the 1-click-root vulnerability is gone, anybody try it?
Annoyances
So, I called Rogers tech support on Monday morning after they turned off my 3G and told the tech guy there that I've been running a ROM with the 911 fix since last September or so, and could they please turn my 3G back on. He did something on his end to re-provision my phone. I had to take out the battery for a little while and then boot my phone, and 3G came back up for me.
This wasn't good enough for Rogers. They have been sending me two text messages a day (one English and one French) and then calling me (twice) with recorded messages warning me about the 911 problem and that I need to 'upgrade'. This is a serious customer satisfaction issue with me. So, I figured it'd set me back for a few days, but I did the following to downgrade my phone from Cyanogen to the Rogers Donut-Hole release:
1) Installed Windows XP mode on my Windows 7 64 Bit OS, because the HTC Sync program wouldn't work on Windows 7 64-bit.
2) Downloaded and installed the HTC Sync program on my Windows XP virtual machine.
3) Dug around and found an old JACxHERO 1.0 ROM and I flashed it, hoping that the Rogers updater wouldn't detect this as a violation and abort.
4) Rebooted the phone, and joy of joys was able to get HTC Sync to connect to my virtual machine. The JACx HERO ROM has HTC Sync inside it, which was enough to fool the installer.
5) Ran the Rogers downgrader. This ran successfully... I just had to babysit the USB 'Attach' menu. If you're not on a virtual machine, you shouldn't need to worry about it.
6) Now I have the updated Radio image, and a downgraded 1.5 Android image.
I miss 1.6 terribly already. I wonder how long it'll be before Rogers detects that I've performed the upgrade so that I can try out this new Hakuro goodness (thanks Man!) and get my phone to a decent OS again. Anyone know how Rogers is detecting the upgraded version? Are they simply looking at the Radio image version? Or do they also know what OS Build I'm running?
I also upgraded my wife's phone. I hope the SMS and Recorded message abuse will now go away.
My message to Rogers would be: Get out of my life. I already pay you far too many dollars for the privilege of holding and using an HTC Dream on your golden network. It is super nice that you regard my safety above all else, however I have never in my life called 911, and really my safety is not your responsibility. I already know about the 911 bug, and had it fixed before you decided to meddle with all of your Canadian customers by removing their network connectivity and abusing them with myriads of reminders. Get out and stay out of my life!
Have a nice day.
I've tried all the usual methods with fastboot. Flashrec doesn't work. Logging in via adb doesn't give me shell access. Someone's tried the goldcard method.
Sigh.
Haykuro, what was your process for initially rooting the Magic? Didn't we send you one and you had to hook up some wires to it to get some port #s or something? (Sorry, it was long time ago.)
If need be, I'm getting an Magic upgrade once they are in stock and I'd be willing to lend you my Dream to hack at.
Sorry to here that you did that but as of now you are fooked.
There were steps in 1 of the 5 threads that told you how to perform the upgrade without flashing the "perfected perfect" spl but it's too late now.
sorry for your luck.
Same issue as everyone else, unable to flash old image...
My phone has been unusable since the update, reception has dropped to emergency calls only in my house, and 1 bar outside.
Every hour or so I have to reboot the phone, I get some ".process" error that keeps popping up in an infinite loop.
I need the droid from telus to be released, I have to ditch this garbage.
