ITWRITEDISK error - Baffled

Hello All!

My good friend recently unlocked his wizard and I am trying to do the same!

I am getting the ITWRITEDISK error when trying to do the lokiwiz.

Here is the play by play.

It is a G3 phone!!!

Original IPL: 2.26

Original SPL: 2.26

GSM 02.25.11

OS 2.26.10.2

current IPL and SPL:

IPL: 1.05

SPL: 2.26

Current OS: Windows XP pro

Activesync: 4.5

1) Read everything

2. Download button's 1.05 ROM (did this)

3.. Downgrade your ROM to the Button 1.05. Let it go through the whole setup please... (attempted, but fails at 98% on my phone so i used the Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 instead.)

After installing Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 the phone reboots and shows an IPL of 1.05 and a SPL of 2.26. The phone boots all the way into windows, installs the cabs associated with T-mobile and reboots upon finishing.

4. Download lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b (which i did)

5. Extract the afore mentioned file to the root of your C drive. Do NOT extract to a folder with spaces... ( i extracted to c:\loki\)

6. Open Activesync WITH YOUR DEVICE NOT CONNECTED! and delete your partnership. (i didnt have a partnership and just hit cancel when activesync asks me to create one)

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

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. (i did this - just copied to the root folder that opens up when you use activesync to explore)

9. Pick up your PDA, File Explorer, find the enablerapi.cab and click it. ( i did this and it installed the cab sucessfully)

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

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

14. Hit the U key on your PC and press <Enter> ... your PDA WILL REBOOT upon completion !!!!!!! (completed all these steps and the phone DID reboot. I noticed that i got the ITWRITEDISK error)

15. Wait for your PDA to reboot, rerun the lokiwiz batch file (if you hit the up arrow key twice on your keyboard it will retype "lokiwiz", then hit <Enter>) then hit the C key on your PC and press <Enter> ... YOUR PDA WILL REBOOT UPON COMPLETION !!! (again completed these steps, the phone rebooted. I once again noticed the ITWRITEDISK error)

16. Watch the rebooting of your PDA, if BOTH IPL and SPL are 1.xx then great. Quite probably your IPL will be 1.xx and your SPL will be 2.xx. Rerun the button 1.05 ROM downgrade a second time and it will become 1.x on both IPL and SPL. You don't need to redo the unlocking.

i try again to run the Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 rom to downgrade the SPL and it completes, but upon rebooting, the SPL is still 2.26. I have tried this several times. I tried the button rom again too, but still gets stuck at 98%. I reflashed with 2.26, and both the IPL and SPL went back to 2.26. I then tried to redo the entire process and it doesnt change the SPL. I also tried the xelencin's cooked htc wizard roms http://xelencin.shackspace.com/wizard/index.html which is supposed to unlock and then flash the phone. It says it completes the unlock sucessfully, begins to flash and then fails at 98%. I have tried other hacked roms but they fail (i assume its because the phone remains locked). I can get the phone back to working condition, but thats not the point of this board!!!

Where should i go from here? Any ideas? I am at a loss... i wish it had been as easy to flash mine as it had been for my friend to flash his.
