Ok, RELAX...TAKE A DEEP BREATH !!!

I can understand the situation,language barrier,it happens,anyway nothing to worry,things do happen when not expected,PC and PDA are sneaky things,LOL :) Unless there isn't any hardware failure,there's always a way out to get them up and hit the road ;)

Right, tell us is your PDA G3 or G4 ?

What was the IPL/SPL...? before you did unlocking,if you remember,it'll help us to determine the type of DOC chip on your phone G3 or G4.

Can you go into Bootloader mode(tri color screen) ? if you know how to do it,ok,but if not then try this method, ' Press and keep holding down the camera button then tap with the stylus the softreset button, or while keeping pressed the camera button hit the power on button,the phone will switch on and go into bootloader mode.

if it goes into bootloader mode,then its gonna be alright and there are a couple of options to make it stat working.

I also advise you to download the latest Official Rom AKU2 version from the carriers website and connect your phone to pc via usb,and try to flash it,if goes into bootloader and flashes then it'll start working.this method has been proved many times successful in these sort of problems.it'll certainly,i hope start working.

Other method I have already posted above is to try to downgrade to Button's rom 1.05 to get IPL/SPL 1.xx required to unlock the phone.as it's a bit long method,you'll have to carryout flash 2/3 times like ipl/spl 3.08--->2.26--->1.05. but first I wud advise you to download and try to flash the official rom.

good luck

I am relaxed, don't worry, the phone was not that expensive, but again i tried to put it on all the way the forum says, but you are telling another way yet (camera, soft reset, en on/off button) not the voice button???

i wil try this this evening.

the loader ( i am not sure,) was 1. something, and 2.4 (to high to get the job done) so i installed de 3.04 (stupid......)

I also have another Vario, with both 1.03 bootloader, and there the upgrade works fine (did it befor this one, so i believed it does not go wrong)

Te 3.04 upgrade is about 3mb's so when i was installing it, I think that it was quit small, (on mine working vario, the fiel was 56mb's) so maybee the rom is completly empty?

i will react soon this evening
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
@aetor

Upon thinking about this I can't see how the 3.08 could brick a device, even if it 's a G4, unless the file was corrupted. The flash to the Button 1.05 would have bricked you first....

The original IPL_SPL_3.08.rar file was 794kb as it's only the IPL and SPL with no OS, GSM or splash screens.

I have personally gone straight to the 3.08 after unlocking as several people here also have reported, with no problems. There would be no difference between flashing the 1.05 IPL/SP to 3.08 as it would to the 2.28. (SO I see no reason to change the OP)

Try the Camera with Soft Reset and see if you can get into Bootloader mode that way.

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] aetor:
after unlocking? but what happens when I update it to 3.08, when it was not unlocked????

thats I am thinking that I was doing?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] aetor:
camera button and start button and softreset..... no result?

its dead, and it stays dead. maybe the 9 volt battery trick wil help, or shouldn't it try this one?

I think I going to sell it for parts!

thanks for helping me... I am working now with mine SPV M3000 (orange dutch), same as qtek 9100, or htc wizard. Its a fine piece of equipment.

so we go on..

thanks all......

Well i finally decided to upgrade my Wizard too and i think i´m really able to make it with the help of your guides i read during the last days.

There´s only one question left:

My IPL/SPL is 1.03 - so do i also have to "downgrade" my device with button's 1.05 ROM? Wouldnt it be an update for me instead?

Is IPL/SPL 1.05 the only base to unlock the wizard or may it be possible with 1.03 too?

Hope u guys can help me.

Best regards
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
To unlock the wizard with lokiwiz02b tool IPL/SPL 1.xx is required.so as you already have IPL/SPL 1.03,it shud be ok,you may try if does unlock hurrah! otherwise you'll have to flash button's rom 1.05.cuz button's 1.05 is a custom build rom with special instructions,but i wud suggest you shud first try with your own ipl/spl 1.03,hope it'll do the trick,;) good luck

It WILL do the trick ;)

I've written to the CID block lots of time (while testing WST) and always used 1.06 WWE :)

Got a quick question!

Im sure its been anwsered before some where in this vast forum. But if i flash the t-mobile 2.19.... radio rom, will that mess up the ROM I already have on my phone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
No you can upgrade to Radio 2.19.11,it has got nothing to do with your OS rom on your phone.Radio roms are all independent by themselves.they can be flashed indepedently without any effect on the OS Rom,but some custom build roms do include radio roms just check if the Custom rom you are using does it contain any radio rom ?,although it wud make no difference if you like to flash Radio 2.19.11.but if your radio rom is already upgraded with your OS rom,try it for some days if you observe any signal or gprs problems than flash with this,ok

A Few Questions From A Newbie..

I followed these instructions and succesfully updated my 8125 to wm6; I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find in the threads:

1. How do you install cab files? The I extracted the cab files for Cingular GPRS/MMS and there appears to be two small files...what do I do with it?

2. How do I overclock?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
connect the phone through usb,run Active sync,establish connectivity,open File Explorer and paste & install.

Which wm6 rom you have upgraded to,it must be containing 'BatteryStatus' application installed in it,open BatteryStatus application inthere you'll get the option to overclock,but don't overclock too high,it'll create problems or might freeze the phone.If BatteryStatus is not provided with the rom,then download it and install.

I’ve done as much reading possible and searched to see if my problem had come up before. I couldn’t find a specific answer. (My apologies in advance in case I missed the post). I have an ATT 8525 IPL / SPL 2.15. I've followed the instructions step by step and when I go to install button's 1.05 ROM it gives me error [222] Device not responding. I have active sync 4.5 and I have both reinstalled and ran the trouble shooter with all tests passing. I thought it may have been a corrupted rom on my part so I downloaded the ATT updated rom from the Cingular website and rom installed fine. I also disabled zone alarm during this whole process since it loves to get in the way of everything... Can anyone offer me any suggestions or point me in the right direction please. I would highly appreciate it.

Wow, Dont I look like an idiot. Sorry :( . Thank you for pointing in the right direction.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ITAdmin:
I wouldn't worry about it professor... I'm in that group too. It is confusing the first time you do this and there's soo many pages of info, it's easy to get lost. It's also better to read twice and flash once instead of bricking it. I didn't get the guts to open my Wizard until I knew my new Tilt was on the way, otherwise I couldn't afford to be without a phone!

Good luck and your in good hands with Dr. Puttingham!!

Hello people.

I have the latest ROM from i-mate, and i tried to downgrade it to butom 1,05.It found my ppc, reboot it but then.... my ppc never started flashing and there was an comunication error on the my pc scren.

I have already flashed this ppc with i-mate roms that went fine and tried to flash it to WM6 but it didn't work because is not CID unlock...

So can someone help me on this ? Why isn't the butom rom flashing?

First, always post vital data of your phone,it enables to find out which DOC chip is on your phone,therefore plz post IPL/SPL....?,Os version...? to determine which is it G3 or G4 DOC Chip phone,only after determine the version of the phone,help can be given,

secondly, what error did it give when you tried to flash Button's rom 1.05 ?

Thirdly,what is the status of the phone at present,Is it working ?..,or does it load up to windows ? or it goes into bootloader mode(Tri color screen) ?...or what it does ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] MiguelGomes:
sorry

So my ISP/IPL is 2.16

OS version is 2.16.9.1 (took it from the same scren)

Error was communication and the number was 260 (i think.....)

My phone is working fine because it just turn off the ppc but didn't even started to flash.

Something strange is that once it was turned of and the error appeared at my pc screen, i had to take the batery of the ppc off so i could turn it on again...

thank you in advance

how to use lock_backup.bin

Hello Dr Puttingham. I used your post to unlock my T-mobile MDA G3 device. It worked perfect. Thank you. Now I have another problem. My speaker burned and I need to send my phone back to T-mobile. I know that CID unlock void my warranty. From faria's post i know thad I can use lock_backup.bin file to restore cid to factory default, But I dont know how to do it :confused: . If anybody can halp me. Thank you
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
Yes you can,did you saved your lock_backup.bin at the time of unlocking,if you saved it then you can use the lokiwiz tool to lock the phone using saved lock_backup.bin.There's an option in the lokiwiz tool,see it yourself.ok

But first flash back the official carrier's rom with which it came,you can download it from the carrier's official website,than after flashing the official rom apply the lock_backup.bin through lokiwiz.ok ;)

good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bgboy74:
Yes I saved lock_backup.bin but I'm not sure how to use it. I have official carrier's rom T-Mobile 2.26 rom but it is not the same one with which came my phone. It is newer one. If I understand right I dont have to Downgrade my ROM to the Button 1.05 like I did it when I unlock my phone. after that:

4. Download lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b

5. Extract the afore mentioned file to the root of your C drive. Do NOT extract to a folder with spaces...

6. Open Activesync WITH YOUR DEVICE NOT CONNECTED! and delete your partnership.

7. Connect your device and cancel the partnership. (You're a guest )

8. Open ActiveSync, Explore and copy enablerapi.cab from your PC's C:\ (remember that's where you extracted lokiwiz to...) to you device, I don't care where.

9. Pick up your PDA, File Explorer, find the enablerapi.cab and click it.

10. (Back to your PC) ... <Start> <Run> <cmd> <Enter> to give you a most wonderful MS Dos prompt (be afraid, VERY afraid!)

11. In the MS Dos box (mouses not allowed!!!) type "CD\" <enter> (no quotes)

12. Type "lokiwiz.bat" <enter> (Actually, if you have XP, type lok then <tab> it SHOULD complete the filename, YMMV.

13. You will see a screen that has ...

U. Unlock

L. Lock

C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)

Q. Quit

and here I have to hit L to Lock my phone. I thought this is gona SIM lock my phone but what about CID LOCK.

I dont know also where should I keep lock_backup.bin file. I will appreciate if you are little more specific.

Thank you :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
I've sent maybe 7 or 8 devices back to Cingular and T-Mobile. Each time I simply flashed the carrier's latest official ROM, no problem. If runnin a 3.08 IPL/SPL, redo the entire procedure and then flash the official T-Mobile ROM. At least that's what I'd do. (I seriously doubt they check if devices are CID unlocked...)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] d2dthetide:
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

I was scared to death but I did it:) I unlocked the CID. I have know idea what a CID or a cad is but I followed each step VERY carefully and had no problems. Well just a little problem…..cause I know very little about these things. I prayed Step 5 meant click on the C drive and extract. I got stuck at Step 15... didn’t realize that rerun the lokiwiz batch file meant hit enter after you hit the arrow key twice. Following the directions (so I thought). I hit the arrow key twice…..saw lokiwiz typed….hit the C key on my PC and then hit enter. Computer didn’t recognize lokiwizc. I was going to give up but this statement kept me going:

(if your Pocket PC Phone does NOT reboot each time, you didn't do it right! Stop and make that work, trust me!, then go on)

I kept looking at it and said... let me try it without the c …. When I did, I saw the C in the choices and knew that was when I was suppose to hit the C. Everything else went fine.

I did read a lot before I started this….but so much info and choices. I backed up my ROM…I think…on a SD card and the computer. I say I think because in a few places I read you can’t backup til you CID unlock. I wanted to backup before I tried the unlock, so I did a backup with wizbackup. I have a lock_backup BIN of 64KB and a myrom BIN of 0KB. I must say that 0KB has me worried. Did I or didn’t I succeed in backing up the ROM?

I didn’t understand why Button was run twice….didn’t need to …just that it worked. Is it because the first pass downgraded the IPL and the second downgraded the SPL? Didn’t understand that the first running of lokiwiz unlocked the SIM…. thought it was all done in one pass….SIM and CID.

So that is how good your guide is to follow:) If I can do it anyone can. AND IT WORKS

I haven’t yet, but am going to upgrade to the 3.08. Can you tell me what that does. I see where people are talking about Faria’s 3.3, is that an upgraded to the 3.08?

Sorry for such a long thread....just wanted those that doubt to know it is possible.

Again thanks to Dr P and everyone’s help. Off to do some more readingJ

I have a T-Mobile Wizard G3 CID LOCKED phone (I've up ROM to T-Mobile lastest official 2.26). Can I use the button's 1.05 ROM for doing unlock the phone as guided by Dr P in this thread. Do I need using T-Mobile original 1.08 ROM instead of button's 1.05? As far as I know here, for unlock CID purpose, the button's 1.05 ROM can be used for both O2 and TMO Wizard CID LOCKED phones. Is that true? Beside that, my TMO wizard is sim unlocked, can I unlock CID as guided by Dr P in this thread? Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
YES ! you can flash both IPL/SPL 1.xx Roms to CID unlock your phone.It's required to downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx to CID unlock through lokiwiz02b tool.therefore,you can flash either of the two to downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx.You can flash Button's Rom 1.05 or T-Mobile original 1.08,First I wud suggest you to try to downgrade by flashing official T-Mobile 1.08,if it downgrades,which I'm sure it will,than go ahead and use lokiwiz02b to CID unlock as instructed in this guide.

But if,at all,it doesn't get downgraded by T-mobile 1.08,then you can flash Button's 1.05 :)

The WST tool will not CID a G4 device,infact a G4 device cannot be CID unlocked,so don't ever try to unlock it with any G3 method,However to upgrade a G4 device there's another method called 'SoftSPL',you can check out this link to read and do the upgrading method .

zabardast has referred me to your thread

I have a thread going on this forum but no one seems to have any idea how to solve my problem, which seems to be being shared by around 600 other users judging by the pageviews

My MDA freezes at the initial splash screen. Whichever ROM I flash it to, it freezes at the same place, just after the red indicia have come on to the screen (whether the beer mug or the T-Mobile screen)

I can flash the manufacturer's ROM successfully, then downgrade to Button, then upgrade again and change the IPL/SPL accordingly but no flash ever gets past that first screen. Simply put, the device wont brick itself but wont reset after ANY flash (so I can't run WizardLove or get lokiwiz to CONNECT to it etc). Have you encountered this problem before and how did you correct it? Is there some key sequence which can be used to force a reset?

Or is there some FULL flash which can get rid of this problem which can be invoked from the bootloader or which has been specifically designed to flash from the bootloader please? T-Mobile has no idea and has even promised to lend me a Wing while I try to figure out what is wrong with it. Or is there a way of contacting HTC America to see if their technicians have come across this prolbem before or is it a hardware problem?

zabardast seems convinced that if I can flash successfully and enter the bootloader, it isn't a hardware problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
I too think it's not hardware issue but a screw up in bootloaders+OS combination

There is something that "I" am doing wrong

Thanks to Dr P's reply and going back and "reading" the post again, I rebooted my PC and tried to update the 1.05 ROM again. Just as Doc had mentioned the reboot of the PC recognized the phone and the ROM upgrade began again..... whew.. that was the first relief, but as he mentioned IT WAS/IS SCARY. Then I waited patiently - My phone again stopped at 98% and my PC again crashed at 100% with Finish Button - The exe that caused the General Protection Fault (GPF) is RomUpdateUtility_NoID.exe. Note that the phone still reads 98%. This time I left it alone for sometime (about 5 minutes) but it stayed at 98%. However, by now, (thanks to the Doc) I didn't feel like an absolute moron (like yesterday) :-)

So now I figured there might be a problem with the ROM that I had (IPL 2.25 & SPL 2.25) So, with the help of my friend, we figured out another official release of a different version of the ROM (IPL 2.17 & SPL 2.25) This successfully installed and I saw my phone with the Windows Logo!! [:-D]

After this, with renewed belief - we went back to load the 1.05 ROM and again failed - however this time there was no GPF - the PC showed finish & my phone still stayed at 98%....

I think I'm running out of options here... is there a safer ROM that I should go to before I do the downgrade to the 1.05 ROM???

Hope is still alive...
