Are you saying you restored your phonme with t-mobile rom ? If so now does active sync work properly ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
Are you talking about logging on to xp as a guest . If so thats not a smart choice at all . What operating system are you running on your computer ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] iodaed:
no i am talking about active sync.

i use xp and i am logged in as admin.

i just want to downgrad my ipl/spl in the same way he did

but i cannot find the roms.

could you help me out ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
Does active sync work fully on your machine . Have you rebooted both computer and phone ? Have you tried to put it the t-mobile rom and then downgrade . super cid unlock and then goto where you wish to go ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bint1:
yes, it does work properly now with active sync.

can it be that my phone can't be downgraded. because i have a G3 with IPL/SPL >= 2.21? I think i have read somewhere that this version, together with the G4, can't be unlocked.

So may be there another way to run another version of the software, like, let's say WM6? maybe with a cooked rom or something like that?

Or maybe i can downgrade my IPL/SPL with an original dutch t-mobile rom? I have found out that MDA_Vario_1060202_103_11210_TMNL_Ship.exe exists, but i can't find any location to download this rom somewhere :( :(. this rom gives an 1.x IPL/SPL, if i am right, and then I should be able to run lokiwiz.

the button Rom 1.05 doesnt work at all, always when i try to flash that rom, i get the 302 update error :(. Looks like i can only flash the dutch t-mobile roms.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
I have seen problems with some of the cells and other roms that are from other countries .. Like a ffew uk mdas i worked on . Can you upgrade to the t-mobile 2.26 ? If so go there and then try to down grade . If you cant then yes you are going to have to cook a rom .. Have you tried the love rom ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bint1:
As far as i know, there isnt a 2.26 rom available for the dutch in holland. I believe i tried the love rom: it didn't work as far as i know. I will try that later today once more. Can you tell me if it's possible to run WM6 for me without CID-unlocking? is that possible with a cooked rom?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] iodaed:
hi,

i did it.

took the very old o2 uk rom, combined it with ruu_wizard_noid and it worked. (button got stuck everytime at 98% with error and this is definitly a rom issue)

result :

ipl 1.xx

spl 2.xx

unlocking worked with lokiwiz.

then ipl/spl upgrade to 3.08, radio upgrade to 2.61 and nbd 7.7. :) nice rom btw !

i uploaded the files which worked for me. maybe these files can help you bint1. give it a try.

Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe

IPL_SPL_3.08.exe

2.61_Radio_Only.exe

Tried everything

Hello Dr. P,

This is nurse Johann. I've read your posts and I've tried several approaches but I'm getting the same result everytime. I have a Cingular 8125 that works fine with the Cingular/ HTC 2.25 ROM. I've followed your tutorial and installed Wizard love... no probs. But when I tried to install Button ROM... I get stuck at that 98%.... everytime! Is there some common mistake folks make? Is it necessary to unlock CID with loki app? I know you see this question alot but I'm sorry I haven't been able to find the missing link!

Cingular 8125. WM5 works. Wizard Love worked. T-Mobile 2.26 worked.

It's when I try to load Button ROM that I hit a wall. It gets stuck every time!

I always cold boot between attempts. I even pull the 8125 battery too.

I thought about using the shelltool, but I could not find a working link.

Here's what I have under Device information (on last go around with Cingular ROM):

ROM ver. 2.25.11.1 WWE

ROM date 5/11/06

Radio ver. 02.25.11

Protocol ver. 4.1.13.12

ExtROM ver. 2.25.11.102

It is a Cingular 8125, G3 I believe (no 000's), CID locked. (The problem)

Any ideas on how (& where) to find a alternate 1.xx ROM so I can use the Loki app? Thanks, Johann

Well,

At this very moment i have the 1.06 dutch t-mobile rom. I managed to downgrade to IPL 1.06, my SPL stayed 2.21. Then i tried to CID unlock my phone. It still gives the error:

anyone knows another manner to cid unlock it? maybe i just should go to that imei-check site; )
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] joihan777:
SUCCEEDED getting past that 98% hellhole!

Dr. P, I tried AND SUCCEEDED getting past that 98% hellhole!

None of the ROMs had worked and I always hit the 98% wall. HOWEVER, I tried

another ROM from another post and it worked perfectly!

Here is the link to the functioning ROM: Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe

I hope this helps anyone stuck at that dreadful 98% screen-of-death!

I followed all the directions perfectly, with the exception of using the XDA MiniS ROM

instead of the button ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
Nice find .. Im going to download it and take a peek at it ..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] iodaed:
ok, the uk rom realy seems to work.

glad i could help you.

maybe it's the better button/love rom for downgrading :)

yeah, but i stopped flashing for a day: had important work to do ;)

So i managed to get IPL 1.06 and SPL 2.21, after flashing the dutch tmobile 1.06 rom. After that, i sim unlocked my phone. lokiwiz 2.0 didnt work, lokiwiz 3a did work. After that, i rebooted and tried to cid unlock my phone. after a while i get that error:

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

ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.

result=80072746

and my phone reboots. I can't get any further at the moment because i really don't know what to do.

PS: is it required to get back to 2.21 when i just want to work normally with my phone, or doesnt it make any sense?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
The rom is all about your choice . You need to downgrade the rom to ulock it tho ... Now try the dr steps and see what you get ...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
@jonokan - from a command prompt (start-run-cmd <enter>) type chkdsk /f then answer "y" to the question, type 'exit", reboot and let the chkdsk do it's stuff. Repeat step 5 making SURE that the folder you extract to doesn't have any spaces! I recomend that you put "C:\" for where to extract to. This will put lokiwiz.bat in the root of C and create a folder named utils there also.

@bint1 - what was the error when you ran lokiwiz? It sounds like you didn't copy enablerapi to your device and execute it from there... Version 3 will not unlock your CID, only SIM.... version 2 does both. and if your IPL is 1.x as you indicate, it should work.

i did copy the enableRapi.cab and executed it. I know that version 3 doesnt cid unlock, but i wanted to sim unlock my phone too.

my IPL of 1.06 doesnt let me cid unlock the phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PURESKILLZZZ:
Can you give a play bu play encapment of what you have done maybe we can see an error and correct it .
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bint1:
yes ;)

I started checking what IPL and SPL i had. this was 2.21 for both. Then i decided i should run the 1.05 button rom. I did this, and at 98% i got an windows error message. After that, i tried to reboot my phone, but i got in the rgb-bootloader screen, with IPL and SPL still 2.21. After that i tried various roms to downgrade my phone. First i tried a 2.26 rom with the intension to downgrade after the upgrade. But none of the roms did work. Or i would get an RUU error with "wrong vender ID", or, more common, i got an message after 98% with "error 302: update error". I always could go back to the original dutch t-mobile 2.21 rom. After that, i managed to get my hands on the original t-mobile 1.06 rom. When i installed it, i had a IPL of 1.06 and SPL of 2.21. I was happy and tried to CID-unlock: i got the following error:

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

ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.

result=80072746

I did run the enableRAPI.cab first on my device and run lokiwiz2(b?) after it. But my device did reboot, but nothing was unlocked.

when i use the wizard service tool to get some info, i got the following information:

MODELID: Unknown

SPL: 2.21

registry AKU: 2.0.0

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] MrCyberdude:
i am only very new here but from what i have read i think you need ipl/spl below your 2.21.

You said you loaded with the dutch 1.05. but it was still a SPL of 2.21. did i miss read?

WST maker mestrini said in one of his posts "Only G3 devices downgraded to 1.x IPL/SPL since it depends on DOC write protection"

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bint1:
MrCyberDude: I know i should get my IPL/SPL at 1.xx. That's why I tried the 1.06 version of t-mobile. And i got my IPL at 1.06, but i still couldnt cid unlock my phone. According to a post on one of the previous pages, it should work with only IPL at 1.xx. As mentioned in the start post it can happen that the SPL is still at the 2.xx version. a reflash of the rom is needed then, but there is no need for CID-unlocking again. just for your information.

Took me about 30seconds the first time with lokiwiz02b and about the same after the auto reboot another 30seconds,

and i am talking about the dos screen where you select U then next reboot select C.

@bint1

have you tried a ROM called Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe, you better read up first though as i all i can remember is it has been used when stuck at 98%.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] MacGuy2006:

What version of ActiveSync are you running? If 4.5 you MIGHT want to try uninstalling, rebooting (with PDA disconnected) and then installing Microsoft ActiveSync 4.2..

If 4.2 already do the opposite, installing Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5

I've personally had better luck using 4.2 at this stage of the game.....

Hi,

I have just baught a HERMES (SPV M3100). Orange has set it up so I cannot use many websites (googlemaps etc). What do I need to de-orange it?

Also - can I get a new active sync? (the one that came with it doesnt sync contacts and doesnt sync with microsoft outlook).

I think maybe I need to Cook or flash my HERMES?

Sorry that these are basic questions. I have read the Wiki, but am no familiar with al the terms.

appreciate any help or just a pointing in the correct direction

Thanks!

@Dr Puttingham

I've come to realize that many "NO COMMUNICATION" errors are due to low voltage battery so i think it would be good to include in your guide to have a full (or almost) battery before using any RUU.

What most people don't know is that flashing sucks up a lot of juice from the battery and that once is bootloader (for those stuck in that condition) the charging circuit isn't available.

Ok.

I've followed the instructions and it is done.

My phone is sim & cid unlocked.

Although I didn't read the read me file at the begining of downgrading the rom to 1.05 (as I didn't have one - link wasn't there).

My notes are:

the progres bar (when downgrading) was frozen at 0% for a few minutes, and then again at 98%.

That's all.

Everything else was exactly like described.

Thank You all once again.
