Your SPL/IPL is 2.xx.xxx1. You have a G4 device!!!. G4 devices uses a slightly different method in unlocking.

Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=298613 and start at G4.1.

And from what it looks like, you may have to pay to get it CID unlocked.

Lock...

hey,

I'm having som trouble with my device and need to send it to repair. The device is a G3 and CIDunlocked. The CIDunlocked void the warranty, right?

how do I CIDlock the device? apart from official ROM, anything else needs to be done to make the warranty "unvoided"? :-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Just put an official rom for your carrier on it. You think that they have time to check these devices for CID unlocking? Maybe but I doubt it..

I know you are going to kill me but I have really tried ...

Hi there... I am really ashamed of what I am about to ask... :o

I have (believe, I have) read everything in your little tutorial, I used all the links you suggested... BUT... It seems that the ROM update IPL 1.xx is not longer working... I downloaded from the suggested link (filename newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe) but the version of it is 2.0.1.0 not the 1.xxxx ...

I noticed it because I tried like 3 times to unlock the phone and everytime I keep getting the message

" ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.

result=80072745

Your phone is now unlocked...."

and when I checked the IPL ver at the startup it keeps saying 2.26... the final question is :o

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THE BELOVED ROM VERSION IPL 1.XX SO I CAN UNLOCK MY NEW (USED) PHONE !!!

:confused:

Thanks for any help...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
I just checked the link and it is for the Button 1.05. Clear your Internet Temp cache. Redownload and run. If on reboot of your PDA you don't see the big beer glass then something is wrong....

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Doomer D. Great:
Want to upgrade too...

Hi!

I am about to embark on the wonderful journey of ROM updating and I am lucky to have found XDA! I own a T-Mobile MDA at its absolute defaults:

Versions:

ROM Version: 1.8.10.2 WWE

ROM Date: 12/10/05

Radio Version: 01.09.10

Protocol Version: 4.0.13.20

ExtROM Version: 1.8.10.104

Hardware:

CPU: OMAP850

Flash Chip Type: M-Systems G3

Identification:

Model No.: WIZA200

Platform: PocketPC

Startup:

IPL: 1.08

SPL: 1.08

GSM: 01.09.10

OS: 1.8.10.2

I have read the guide mentioned here and I have prepared/downloaded all the required stuff to continue. I currently have no issues with the device hanging and/or ActiveSync v4.5 failing. There is an error at startup regarding some stupid “asstartup.exe cannot be opened. Either not signed with trusted certificate or component missing…” but I am planning to fix that using Resco Explorer 2007’s registry explorer… EDIT: I got the issue fixed... now device starts up OK.

All steps mentioned make perfect sense. I just have a few ambiguities:

#1: I do not understand AKUs. I do know my device is G3 through the IPL/SPL versions but what is with AKU#?

#2: My device was networked locked and I had it unlocked to work in Pakistan. So its SIM unlocked but I do not know whether its CID locked or unlocked?

#3: This one is a bit too tough for a noob like me… from your guide in your wordings:

Now, the T-Mobile v2.26 ROM was a hefty download as it was the complete package… but the mention of 3.08 IPL/SPL in the edit is just 800KB… I cannot understand this and I think the 3.08 IPL/SPL is probably a base for other ROMs, which I do not know of yet…

Please do guide me, as I am very eager to get this device updates as it is slow and Bluetooth speed is just horrible…
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Reaper:
Hey, could you please tell me where you downloaded the t-mobile 2.26 rom?

The link to it is dead, could you provide me with the mirror you found it on?

thnx
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Doomer D. Great:
Dude, you are right... the official download page is now officially a 404... this is the link from where i got the update:

http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/Software_Detail.cfm?ID=80

Now it ain't working anymore... took me three days!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Reaper:
hmm, ok..Could someone maybe upload the rom to rapidshare or some other filesharing site? (of course i mean the t-mobile 2.26 rom)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
T-Mobile ROM

Would appear that T-Mobile deleted that page. I've repaired the link.

You can bypass the 2.26 and install the 3.08 instead. If, when completed, both IPL and SPL report 3.08 you should be golden.

Sorry I didn't make that more clear, my bad :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Did you extract to the root of drive C? Bet above the "your device is now unlocked" message there's an error...

Your device WILL reboot if you did it right, if not, then it won't (if that makes any sense..)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Reaper:
thx for uploading it to rapidshare doc.

I'll wait for the t-mobile 2.26 rom. If i get cold feet with flashing I can always stop there. (i currently have 2.21 t-mobile rom) so it would be an improvement anyway. Also thnx for the great guide, will be following it step by step later today
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
No screen shots. If someone can't follow the clearly written instructions they shouldn't be attempting to flash to a custom ROM. Period. End of story. Sorry Charlie.

I really don't think there's any need to modify my original post with pictures for the kiddies that can't read and follow instructions.

I will continue to update the first page with real life solutions as I remember them but no pictures, thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dodadent:
Yes, im not sure because i dont have any experience! I think There are many like me that doesn't have experience in stuff like this in this Forum.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
No they're aren't. If you can't follow the bouncing ball you're not ready. Ever watch KungFu ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dodadent:
I ask because I am not sure and don't want to brick my G4 phone. I read here same messages for this problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
OK, let me get this right. You're reading a G3 thread. I stated that this is for G3 devices only. Also noted that it will brick a G4 device. You're here... and you want pictures on how to brick your G4 device?

Run away and fast!

As an aside ... the whole idea of this thread was to try and alleviate the hijacking of the various custom ROM threads here due to folks refusing to read the info quite often in the author’s opening post . Now I see that some people can’t even read the title (A Definitive Guide to Unlocking G3 Wizards) nor the actual post itself where I repeat that it’s for G3 devices and G4 users WILL BRICK THEIR DEVICE IF THEY FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF ?????????????????????????????

My utmost repect for the chefs here that deal with this stupid **** day after day.... I just never really knew ....

Don't get it why are people wanna update custom roms if they can't understand such a clear guide.

Plz people read everything on and on and on till you understand it complitely. And if you don't wanna do that DON'T USE CUSTOM ROMS AND STAY WITH THE STOCK ROMS.

I was a newby once also but whit the help of this forum and reading threat after threat I choose to try it. But don't ask these stupid questions.

It's weird though, the IPL is set back to 1.xx but the SPL stays on 2.26? Even when reinstalling the Buttons' 1.05 Rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Every time that I've seen that it's meant that I didn't fully unlock the device. Did your PDA reboot twice during the unlock? (Steps 14 and 15)

Try it again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Pen411:
I'm one of those that tries to figure it out and asks questions only when it looks like I can't get it done on my own.

Gotta say, that little tutorial beat all the other posts I've read on the subject in months.

I read it, I followed it, step by step, and got the custom rom I wanted installed on the very first try.

Now I just need to get the BT headphones that I installed the ROM for in the first place!

I want to read the "readme" file!

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

have: orange spv m3000 in german (which I don't understand a word)

want to have: wm5 in english on it

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

I think I'm in a good shape, armed with a knowledge, aquainted with few treads on this forum and some other (Molski's for exemple)

So, I (have been) reading, and reading and reading, and still - I have a question.

A short one, although.

And I searched the forum, but I didn’t find any useful info.

So here is the question:

When I start the „CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe“ (and I’ve downloaded it twice, from 2 diff link in forum),

at the first screen it clearly say sth like: „read the readme file“ (or tutorial).

And when I click on it – the worning window is – document missing.

Now, I explored the folder where I unziped the file,

but there is not any readable file...

I downloaded few more roms for later use, and I found in „unziped folder“ (of Molskis rom, I think) a readme file with some pretty pictures beside the words ;)

So, the question is:

is the Steps I have to take in rom 1.05 same as the Steps described in this other document,

or:

can I follow these Steps and do a job, or I have to find somewhere in the forum that particulary readme file for rom 1.05?

As you can see – I am weeling to read ;)

thanks in advance,

Popeye

p.s. – So, I see that You experts are pissed on newbies, for not reading the treads, and just whiting for someone else to do the homework for them... Well, what about us that read but don't understand it all? Yes, I know, I know, read more, so we'll understand... - and I say - no hard fillings...

p.p.s. – great job. There is plenty of people apreachiating your work. I am one of them.

Thank you all.

p.p.p.s. – sorry for my Tarzan english... ;)

p.p.p.p.s. - I KNOW that I have a G3 - its 2.16(and no 000x) behind ;)

cheers!

still have confusion !! i read more than one time that devices with ROM > = 2.21 can NOT be CIDUNLOCKED !!!

my question now is : G3 devices with IPL/SPL & ROM 2.26 can be downgraded to 1.xx then CIDUNLOCKED ????
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
yes it can be unlocked.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Yes you can. At the time Faria wasn't sure so he added that disclaimer. We have since learned that as long as it's a G3 this will work. You have to downgrade to the 1.x as that's a lokiwiz .2b requirement.

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
- newleaf -

You seem to be the only one that noticed that pattern , very astute! My secret is out, oh my! A member since December... this December even!

I'm not talking down to anyone that doesn't know how to follow instructions. Probably half of my 569 posts are directly related to CID unlocking. Seriously.

And it's not so much because I'm saying the same thing time after time but it clogs the threads. People ***** because they have to read through 50 pages of crap that they helped to create. We were all noobs once but we used to be respective of those we asked help from.

Congrats on being a technical writer! Feel free to do your screen dumps, etc. if that's what you need. Screen dumps and pictures are really nice if you're reading a complicated technical paper or such. For instance, when studying for my CCNA I appreciated the pictures and such. My MCSE, wasn't a big help. But we're not talking rocket science here, just a simple procedure that some people need to "complicate". If one needs pictures to illustrate a few simple steps then they may PM you.

Be sure to stir the pot! Right now we're down to 3 or so chefs who are quite annoyed at the antics of the lazy and rude. When they leave and the senior contributors leave, who will pick up the slack? You'll be talking about old ROM's between yourselves as there won't be new ones posted.

If I offended you, sorry. Wasn't intentional.

"You are teaching complex technical processes here, not coaching the football team. "

I will back up what Dr. P said...you are wrong this isn't a complex technical process in fact if you read the instructions it is quite simple. Using your quote I maintain that it is like coaching a football team. If the members of the team didn't read the playbook nothing would go right on the field and you as the coach would be PO'd this is what has happened.

spl 2.25

After running the downgrade app several times, my IPL is 1.01 but my SPL is 2.25.

I have unlocked the phone using lockwiz.

I guess my question is... Do both the IPL and SPL have to be 1.01 before applying the t-mobile rom? If the do, any suggestions or should I keep on trying the downgrade?

Thanks for any help.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
The Button ROM is only needed when you unlock as lokiwiz requires a IPL of 1.x. I've never downgraded from 3.08 to the 2.26 official T-Mobile. It SHOULD work with no problem, just never done it myself.

Please post your result!

If you used lokiwiz you must have some backup files (.bin extension) in your HDD. If so then use one that probably says cidlocked.bin (or similar) and flash it to the CID location, or...

...you can use my tool (see signature) and try the custom CID feature which requires you to know the CID code for your provider. If you need assistance either create a thread for it, ask in my tool's thread or PM me ;)

problem downgrading

i tried downgrading from 3.08 to the 2.26 following all the steps and then after that my phone messed up. It worked fine when i upgraded to 3.08 but when i tried to downgrade it just stays at the boot screen. It still say the ipl/spl number on top left and i tried to downgrade it again it again using the button downgrader and it just won't get passed the boot stage. how would i fix this problem
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Put the device into bootloader mode and try and flash the 2.26 official ROM again. Once you've unlocked your PDA you shouldn't need to reinstall the 1.05 Button.

Good luck!

Bricked MDA Vario

I've been reading this forum for 2 days non-stop. I've flashed my phone at least 20 times and still is dead. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

1.My phone originally had IPL: 2.21 SPL: 2.21 - > I concluded it's G3

2.I tried to upgrade my phone to WM6 with Shelltool method. And I thought that I don't have to unlock CID (I know now it was a BAD idea)

3.I put on Button ROM first and still every thing was fine

4. I tried to put See no Evil WM6 edition and I process didn't end for a hour and I stopped it.

5. Now I can't move form IPL/SPL splash screen

I've tried putting back on Button ROM->flashing finishes but still stuck on IPL/SPL screen

I've tried to put original T-mobile ROM but there's error Invalid vendor ID 294

I've tried to put Wizard Love ROM but it gives me an error 300 INVALID UPDATE TOOL

Only flash that worked for me was Molski ROM for G3. It moved my IPL/SPL from 1.05 to 2.26 and still stops at second splash screen.

Of course I always turned off all programs and kill all unnecessary processes while flashing but still nothing(and been doing everything from bootloader mode)

Can someone please help me?:(
