What am I missing?

I have a G3 and downloaded the wizard love rom from rapid share. I am at ipl/spl 2.26 and when I open the ruu in the wizard love rom rar it is in spanish. I still ran through it, and it says that it could not complete the task. I also tried to flash with button rom even though I don't have a 1.xx ipl/spl and when I double clicked it a whole bunch of ???? marks came up and it also failed I am not sure what I am doing wrong. My eventual goal is to upgrade to faria's wm6. I have been wanting to get this completed for weeks now, and have been reading up on it for a long time, and now that I am attempting to upgrade I seem to be missing a step or something. Please help.

Dr. P

Can you please help me out here. I was able to download Button 1.05 and I was able to get lokiwiz 0.2b to run and I believe that my 8125 is unlocked. At least the lokiwiz program ran properly. I currently have IPL 2.25 and SPL 2.25

I really feel retarded when I ask this question, but how step by step do you flash the Button 1.05 to the phone. I recieved it in a RAR file and extracted it to a new folder. I double clicked on the file and it asked to run or cancel, I clicked run and a window with a whole bunch of question marks came up and then another screen with a whole bunch of question marks first and then it says enter bootloader, the next line is ??????????nk.nbf, then the next line is ?????????????????? ??????? ????????. And even the radio buttons are question marks. It is obvious that I am missing some important step or perhaps someone could tell me what it is that I am doing wrong here. Sorry to clog the thread with such a seemingly nooobie issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] for3verazn:
you really don't need to run wizard love unless you have a problem booting up. just skip that step and following dr puts guide. once you reach step 17 choose to upgrade to 3.08 or 2.26, NOT BOTH. or you will be stuck where i am. but after you finish the guide then you are able to upgrade to wm6

problem with lokiwiz

Hi all,

I try to unlock the cid to my 9100 following you procedure:

I downgreaded the rom to 1.5 and when I run the lokiwiz, after the installation of the package on the ppc, the process hangs at the secon printout:

----------

U. Unlock

L. Lock

C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)

Q. Quit

--------------------

Type the letter and press Enter: U

Unlocking mobile... DO NOT DISCONNECT UNTIL THE PHONE REBOOTS!

Copying C:\lokiwiz\Utils\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll

CopyTFFSToFile(0x0, 0x10000, lock_backup.bin)

after 20 minutes I stoped the batch and I tried the C option with the same result and action.

After this I rebooted the 9100 but after the reboot the ppc raise the following error: ""Data Crashes. Please contact your service center".

I have tryed to install again the 1.5 but the error is still there, with the original rom the program raise an erro of invalid vendor.

do you have any suggestion to solve the problem?

Thanks a lot.

emiconi
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Did you make a backup of the CID block before the unlock? NO.

Why? Because it isn't in the list... :p

Check my signature for the "Data Crashes" thread and also for my tool that can help to backup and fix the problem

Good luck

Ok I was able to get a RUU from the ftp site and I put the NK.NBF file for 2.26 into the RUU folder and ran it while my wizard was in bootloader mode. I recieved an error 300. Can anyone give me some insight please.

UPDATE!! I ran the lokiwiz again and realized that I am getting the following error.

CopyFileToTFFS(unlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)

ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.

I thought that this is an error that you get when you have a G4???? I am sure that I have a G3. Am I wrong???

wont connect to active sync

ok, downloaded all the necessary files and installed button's rom 1.05.. deleted the partnership with active sync and then tried to connect to active sync to install and run the lokiwitz0.2b cab (enablerapi.cab)..

problem is now i cant seem to establish a active sync connection. i have tried on my desktop and laptop and they both will not establish and active sync connection. being that i had AS 4.5 installed, i figured maybe i needed an older version of AS so i uninstalled AS 4.5 and reinstalled AS 4.1 (that came with the phone.. no luck.. AS just says 'connecting' and never establishes a partnership.

any thoughts or help? thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] amsatnetg:
I would say to reboot your computer and your ppc then when your comp is back up plug in your ppc at that time. It will go through the usual check for information and then it will try and establish a new connection. Cancel this connection, that will allow you to be connected as a guest. That is what you want.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] backdoc7:
thanks for the quick reply.. i did reboot the PC and the phone.. (did a hard reset) .. reconnected and still the same thing.. it connects and doesnt establish a connection/partnership.. then the last time i did it, it said a partnership cannot be established for one of two reasons, either your device is not a smartphone/pda or your device is not working properly..

i will try rebooting both again and see what happends..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] backdoc7:
ok, i have tried to reboot the pc and do a hard reset on the ppc 3 times.. same thing.. AS 4.1 just says connecting but never does.. AS 4.5 gives the two reasons above it wont connect.

what are my options? can i load 2.26 on my mini sd card and somehow run it from there to reinstall another rom? any advice is apprecitated. thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] amsatnetg:
I am still trying to get some answers myself about the rom loading, although I know that you should definitely not try to load from the sd card. That will not work. Is your AS icon coming up on your ppc when you connect your usb cable? Check to see that your usb is enabled in Start/control panel/system/hardware on xp anyways. Sorry that I cannot be of more help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] for3verazn:
uh dr. putt.

I tried to flash my old os and it still remains at the boot screen. any other things u might recommend because yea. I really ran out of ideas.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] backdoc7:
yeah, AS starts but just doesnt connect.. it just says OS does not recongnize this device.. when i first connected it, it found it as a PPC. i have even established a bluetooth connection (just to see if it would).. and it did. not sure how that will help me.. anyway.. on both my laptop and my desktop (which i usally sync my MDA to) it is doing the same thing.. i installed AS 4.1 on the desktop so it doesnt give me an error message.. the green circle just keeps spinning for as long as i have the PPC connected. on AS 4.5 (laptop), it just says the two errors i listed above in my previous post..

dang, this phone is pretty usless unless i can sync all my contacts etc. i couldnt even get it to set up a gprs connection (t-mobile us).. wierd.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] backdoc7:
ok, now after trying to establish a connection a few dozen times. after AS scans all the com ports, i flashes the partnership box like it's going to give you the option of partnering the device or loggin as a guest. the only problem is that screen flashes for like 2 seconds and then disappears.. after that AS says "no partnerships" "not connected". any advice? thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] backdoc7:
damn, one problem after the other.. ok, finally after two hours got the guest connection on AS.. doing the unlocking now but the phone will not reboot after typing in the U and the C in the unlocking program.. already installed the enablerapi.cab on the device.

in dos it says CID unlocking mobile. do not disconnect until phone reboots!

The system cannot find the path specified (4 times)

your phone is now CID unlocked

store the generated file in a safe place......

etc.. but the phone never rebooted.. so im guessing im not unlocked..

what now? thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] amsatnetg:
did you execute the enablerapi.cab on your ppc? also are you sure that you have a G3 device. If I understand it correctly your IPL and SPL at startup upon turning on your device should be something like 2.25 for G3 if it was say 2.25.0001 then it is a G4 device and lokiwiz .02b will not work on it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] backdoc7:
thank you for the quick reply.. yeah.. im sure i have a G3.. took me forever to establish a guest connection (well any connection) with AS, now that it established the first time, it finds my phone and try's to partnership it each time. that is good, but when i run lokiwiz.bat, and then type "U" to start the unlocking, it does not reboot the phone.. yeah.. i installed the ebablerapi.cab on the PPC, i just opened explore in AS and copied it to the PPC, and executed it.. it said it was installed correctly.. any other thoughts? thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] backdoc7:
guess i will start over and reinstall the button rom.. will let you know what happens for future help if this happens to anyone else. thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] backdoc7:
dang, reinstalled button's rom and it installed without a problem. this time, an AS "guest" was established without a problem.. then, ran the enablerai.cab on the ppc and went to dos to run the lokiwiz.bat.. still the ppc does not reboot after entering U or C. where do i go from here? any ideas? thanks.

is there another rom i can try to install to get the phone CID unlocked. i tried to install 1.08 but it would not let me, said somethiig about it being an upgrade.. ?? thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] backdoc7:
is there a way to check if your cid unlocked. i just installed 2.26 which i thought was the T-mobile rom, but after setting it up, i believe it is xelencin's rom because it has his tweaks in the program storage memory.. so, if i am already CID unlocked, and have xelencins's rom, can i go straight to a WM6 rom? thanks. btw, i've had 3 MDA's (replacements), and have unlocked 1 or 2 of them, but i have forgotten which one(s) i did. that's why the confusioin. thanks.

Is there a way to check if it's CID unlocked?

I have the T-Mobile MDA and i have received the network unlock code and instructions from them. They tell me it's supposed to completely unlock the phone. Does anyone know if this is true? Is there any to check to see of the phone is actually unlocked after I do this? If I can avoid having to go through the process of doing a CID unlock as descibed in the forum that would be awesome, but if I still need to I can do that.

Thanks in advance for any help.

(PS I hope I'm not repeating anything that you've answered before...It just kind of seems that the MDA isn't as popular on these forums as Cingular's 8125)

Let me see if I can try annd unlock phone all over again and see if it will take the t-mobile 2.26. Any help would be appreciated folks.

Ok folks ... Maybe I have found the soluion . I did run lokwiz again and super cid unlock now is installing the new t-mobile rom. Cross your fingers for me . Its running as I type. I am hunting down all my old programs as I had over 100 gigs of various cell phone software and games as many may know as I do share. My ftp is back up with a few basic drivers and the small programs from the site I will again start to re-upload them so all can get them easier than rapidshare. Since my ftp is fully free and no waiting 49 minutes or more for a 2nd downlload.

H E L P!!!!!!!

Hi,

i have T-Mobile MDA and Im stuck with spl 3.08

I did everything.......... and I mean EVERYTHING and nothing helps me bring back my MDA to the original T-mobile software or downgrading the SPL.

1. Downgrading my IPL to 1.01 (using button rom)

2. Unlocking CID with lokiwiz (successfully)

3. Running button rom again

The SPL still stays 3.08 after doing the above...

If there is another way to downgrade the SPL 3.08, please let me know. I really need the T-mobile original rom version.

Thanks so much.

1) Get all the proper tools - Lokwiz02b , buttons 1.5 , activesync , T-mobile 2.26

2) Make sure phone is connected with activesync.

3) Use buttons 1.5 to downgrade phone

4) Use your favorite lockwiz thread. (i''l explain it briefly)

5) put locwiz02b in any folder on your computer

6) extract it there using winzip or winrar

7) click explore on the activesync program to view cell phone

8) click My Windows Mobile-Based Device

9) drag EnableRapi to that folder which just opened.

10) goto phone and use file explorer.

11) run EnableRapi on the phone.

12) run lokwiz on your computer

13) on option screen click c

14) when its done reboot computer

15) reboot cell phone

Flashing times....

I have done just the above so many times I cant recall now.

Everything goes ok till step 13, where the "ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred" happens.

And so I'm stuck with IPL 1.01 and SPL 3.08 and the Wizard_love ROM: I'm starting to love it!

BTW when I back to Button_ROM (and only get IPL 1.01) then my ActiveSync doesn't sync any longer to my Wizard (it seems to stuck with the rotating icon; nevertheless I can copy files to it using File Explorer (!?!)). It's only when I upgrade to Wizard_love ROM that I can have ActiveSync working well again (of course only if in "Settings/USB to PCI" I manage to disable the "Enable advanced network functionality"). It might sound really advanced to most people; to me it sounds like crappy software.

It's a bad bad world folks....

Try putting the PDA into bootloader mode. Install the 1.05. Install 1.05 repeatly (two or three more times and it should go to 1.05. Don't worry about ActiveSync, just keep reflashing the Button. PM me if it doesn't work.

I had a feeling that this would happen. I did empty my temp folder and ran a chkdsk. Like I said before the wrar file is not unrar-ing the nk.nbf file. as it is going through the process it stops with those previously mentioned errors. I haven't had a problem unraring any other files that I downloaded from rapid share and don't understand why this one file is not opening properly. Could my firewall have anything to do with it?
