IPL/SPL mismatch

I have a G3 T-mobile MDA.

I followed the directions on the original post and managed to ulock the CID and flash first to 1.05, then 3.08. (Perhaps my folly was not flashing to 2.26 as an intervening step between 1.05 and 3.08).

When I attempted to flash to the WM6, I got the tri-band screen that I could not get to disappear.

My solution was to start all over by flashing back to button rom (1.05).

I'm relieved to report that this gave me back my functionality, but now my reset screen reads:

IPL 1.01

SPL 3.08

OS 1.5.4.2

I've tried flashing using all 3 versions (button, 2.26, and 3.08) and all 3 give me an error (either a communication error or instructions to find a newer [UBF?] file). Any recommendations for regaining concordance between IPL and SPL or other advice?

Thanks so much for any help.

I believe your phone is still cid locked,that's why you can't upgrade to wm6.Plz explain briefly how did you apply the method of unlocking with lokiwiz02b.

secondly,you did not follow the guide correctly,you skipped the most essential step 17,to flash t-mobile 2.26 to get a solid base of ipl/spl 2.26 to work on,but it is to be done after you have a cid unlocked device only.The edit option for step 17 pf upgrading to ipl/spl 3.08 is just an option but not necessary,so instead of upgrading to t-mobile 2.26,you upgraded to 3.08,this is what has created all the havock.

Anyway,now what is the status of your phone:-

1.Does it start and load up any OS normal ? if it loads up and works normal than download WST tool and run it,specially hit the button 'CID action' and post the report it gives to determine whether your phone is cid locked/unlocked.

2.Or it goes into bootloader mode(multicolor screen), if it goes into bootloader mode,than download the official carrier's Rom from it's website and wjile in bootloader mode try to flash,it'll start the phone and bring it back to it's default status and then check if cid locked/unlocked and redo the unlocking method again correctly and upgrade to wm6,hope this'll help out,good luck :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] macpherg:
Obviously, I'm a noobie, but I appreciate your patience with me.

Let me take your questions in turn.

First, re: lokiwiz02b, I followed the directions in the post and did receive the DOS screen message on my PC, congratulating me that I'd successfully unlocked the CID. I'd be happy to repeat this procedure, if you believe it is indicated.

Second, I misread step 17 to suggest that flashing to 2.26 vs. 3.08 was a matter of personal preference. Sorry.

Third, yes the phone does start up normally. A reset shows me IPL 1.05, SPL 3.08 (along with the beer in the foreground of the Colleseum). I'd be happy to take your advice on downloading the WST tool, but I don't know what or where that tool is (again, my noobiness shows here). I've done a search of this thread for the WST keyword and come up blank. Given that it relates to CID, I wonder if WST = lokiwiz02b?

Fourth, I'm thankfully better off than getting stuck at the bootloader mode. But if I were stuck there, I wouldn't know where to find T-mobile's official ROM. I also don't know how to get the phone to tell me whether the CID is locked.

Finally, re: my specific errors, when I try to flash to 2.26 from my current state (IPL 1.05 SPL 3.08) I get an Error 296: Upgrade only. "This NBF File cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get a newer NBF file."

Again, thank you so much for your help.

V/R,

Glen

Ok,download the WST tool from the link below,read through the guide and thread for complete understanding and use:-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=329170

run the WST tool and post here the report,specially the 'cid action' report to verify the cid lock/unlock status.

As you have upgraded to ipl/spl 3.08,it's going to be quite difficult to downgrade to ipl/spl 1.xx.there are only two options,either flash the button's rom 1.05 a couple of more times,as it takes more than one flash to work properly or download the official carrier's rom.Which official OS was on the phone initially installed.if it was a T-mobile OS than download from it's website.

Faria:

I downloaded and installed the Wizard Service Tool on my PC. I ran it and attempted Enab. RAPI + Unsigned Apps. The application froze, ActiveSync lost its connection and since then I've been unable to ActiveSync. I'm getting frustrated and am feeling over my head.

What I'd like to do is send this to someone and have them sort it out for me. $40 seems a reasonable charge. I've found an ebay seller offering to "pimp my MDA" for $72 with shipping. Whether he'd successfully manage this pimp project with the current state of my phone is questionable. The ebay item number is 140169841231.

So, 2 questions: 1.) Do you or anyone you know/trust perform this service? 2.) Do you believe that a professional might be as helpless as this noobie in the face of the IPL/SPL discordance?

Thank you,

Glen
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] macpherg:
Update:

The failure to ActiveSync I traced to a bad USB hub on my PC. I can now ActiveSync and so have regained hope.

I managed to Enab RAPI + Unsigned Apps, and ran the CID Actions.

You were right, Fari! My CID is locked. I'll run the lokiwiz again this evening when I return home for work.

Thanks again for all your counsel and patience.

missing Transcriber option

I followed your advice, re-ran lokiwiz (turns out the first time that I'd missed step 15), loaded the Button 1.05 successfully, upgraded to 2.26 successfully, and finally installed XM6r3 full version.

Thanks so much!

On a final note, I'm sure I'm displaying a less than complete reading of the linked forums, but I'm perplexed that my preferred text entry mode of Transcriber no longer seems available on WM6. Is there a way to reinstall this option of Transcriber?

Thanks again,

Glen
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] zabardast_1:
Thanks !!!

Regarding Transcriber?,check out the thread for Custom Rom xm6r3,from where you downloaded the Rom,there might be a solution for this,a work around or a cab file to install,good luck :D

Please, please can you help me. I need to get WIZARD_LOVE ROM. If you can send me a link to it OR the file itself, I would be greatly in your debt. I have tried numerous ways to get this file but the "rapidshare link" is pretty useless if you are not a Premium Member and I have tried numerous searches but all I seem to come up with is a lot of people talking about it but no links to it. I have an Imate KJAM and I am trying to install XDA Mobile 6 Release 3 and realised only to late that there is a NO_ID version which I now have. But I am a little stuck as I am now sitting with a phone that will go no further than the blue Imate startup screen or alternatively the bootloader 3 color screen. I hope I am correct in assuming that if I get the Wizard_love rom and flash that I should be able to get an ActiveSync connection going and then use the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe with the nk.nbf file that came with the XDA Mobile 6 Release 3 download.

I am assuming after reading through the forums that I have a G4 phone, phone details are

imate KJAM on SA-MTN, IPL 2.16.0001, SPL 2.16.0001.

I trust this is sufficient info for you to be able to give me some guidelines and help. If you need it my email is agc1200@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] zabardast_1:
Aweeeeee !!!

As you say it's a G4 device with IPL/SPL 2.16.0001,you shudn't flash a G3 Rom which includes an IP/SPL in it.it will 'Brick' your phone.The wizard_love_Rom includes IPL/SPL,therefore it's not safe to flash to your phone.

Well,Your are lucky man,that you still have a working phone and it's not 'Bricked' as you flashed xda Mobile wm6r3,which does not include IPL/SPL in it,otherwise if you had flashed Wizard_love_Rom,it wud certainly wud have been Bricked.

If you want to upgrade,then there's another method to upgrade a G4 device called 'SoftSPL & HardSPL'. Check out this thread :-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=329147

BTW, you don't need Activesync connection to flash a Rom,if you can get the phone into Bootloaders mode (tri color screen) then connect the phone with pc via usb cable and check if small usb written appears at the bottom of the bootloader screen .than you can flash by running romupdateutility (RUU)

Good luck :)

I see you are trying to flash through Windows Vista,it won't work.Vista has still got driver problems,therefore,WinXP SP2 is always recommended to flash your phone.So flash through WinXP,you'll have no problems.

But if you still want to use Win Vista than read this guide,it might help :-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=338473

secondly,always post the vital data of your phone,IPL...?, SPL...? OS version...?, prior to posting it helps others to verify the DOC chip version of your phone and advise you correctly

Thirdly,have you got your phone SIM/CID unlocked,cuz it's necessary to have your phone SIM/CID unlock before upgrading,otherwise,you'll either "Brick" your device or run it into various problems,ok

Thanks to all of you

I just wanted to put a thanks to all the users out there. I came into this site and knew very little. Through reading all the posts and alot of reading and I do mean alot I got my 8125 with WM6 and working great.

I know that this is done eveyday or minute around here but now I am hooked on all the things I can do with this phone. Couldnt have done it all without all the work and posts by everyone. Awesome Site.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] GoldMonkey:
Can someone expand on the post that I quoted above?

I have a CID-Locked G4 with IPL/SPL 2.25.0001 and I seem to be having this exact issue when attempting to use the shelltool to apply only the WM6 OS onto my G4.

I start with a fresh stock ROM flashed onto the G4, then install the Cert_SPCS (1st) and Enablerapi (2nd) cabs, then wait a few minutes and reboot the phone.

I ensure that the ActiveSync connection is established, then start up Shelltool and extract the OS from the nbf file. I flash the OS, which does NOT take the full 15 minutes, more like 4-5. Then get the end message in Shelltool.

After doing the hard reset however the OS v still reads 2.26, which I assume should be a 5.xx number.

The phone stays stuck on the initial loading screen that lists your IPL/SPL and OS versions.

I've been able to repeat this failed flash a few times now.

Any tips?

Update: Well after adjusting a few steps I was able to get this phone flashed twice in a row successfully.

A step that I don't think was expressed enough is a reboot, then soft reset after installing Cert_spcs and Enablerapi.

Before I was only rebooting, with no soft reset.

Also I had an error with timewizard.exe and ssdeamon (misspelled maybe) were throwing errors on start-up/wake up. On the suggestion of another thread clearing the storage fixed these errors, and I seem to be up 100% on XM6R3. Awesome!

Anyone have suggestions of other flavors of Wm6 to try?

ok i need help. i've read through this post and the CID unlocking post and haven't gotten anything to work. My device is a G3 8125, IPL/SPL is 2.25

From what i understand, i need to flash the Button 1.05 Rom, then CID unlock... but i can't flash the Button Rom it fails.

so i tried CID unlocking and i'm sure if it is working or not.

i've tried the phone in Bootloader mode and turned on normally. i'm also using Vista.

any help would be appreciated.

Flash Tutorial Question

Hi,

After having flashed the ROM on a wizard or any device, is there any way to revert back to the factory install if not happy, or once flashed the new version cannot be changed?

Thinking about buying the tytnII but is blocked with a certain operator, and doesnt come with tom tom. Would I be able to flash the device with the original factory HTC rom?

Thanks

Hey Guys

You gave me a great great help with this thread

Anyway I had a Qtek 9100 with original Sweden ROM and it was 2.17 ROM.

Going to wizard_LOVE ROM was inutile because i could not CID unlock, I got an ITWrite Error.

Following Dr. Putingam's steps, that here were referenced, I have put the Button ROM 1.05 than and only then i could CID unlock.

After it was a baby thing to do ;).

I had problems with rapidshare but you know the thing called Google Search, it gave me this http://www.dannygaron.com/PDA_files/

there you can find the button ROM T-Mobile Rom 2.26 latest lokiwiz and do you need anything else (at least for G3).

the only thing missing here is a reference to this thread from the-equinoxe:

Forgive me for dredging up this old question...a hard drive crash, 6 month old triplets, Xmas...I have a lot going on that has taken away from my MDA fiddling.

I took your advice on searching the forums for XM6r3 and "transcriber" and found only one post. It is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=324632&highlight=xm6r3+transcriber

which describes:

Hermes Black Cabs that may be of Interest

Transcriber can be added back into XM6r3 by using the Black 3 Add-on CABs file. There may be others in it that may be of interest also for some. Included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested) and Adobe Reader LE.

I'm reluctant to try this 1.) because the referenced link is only a download file with no installatino instructions 2.) there is a lot more to this file than my simple requirement of "I want my transcriber back" and 3.) by this time, I'm not sure that XM6r3 is the preferred version of Windows Mobile 6.

Please advise. Should I trust this Hermes Black Cabs? If so, how should I go about installing it? If the transcriber issue has been addressed in some medium more substantial than a patch, i.e., a more recent release of XM6, then which one do you recommend?

Thank you again for all your help. Happy Holidays.

I don't put Transcrber in my roms as most people don't use it. If you want it just copy that cab file to your phone and run it from file explorer or total commander. You'll then have transcriber back.

As for roms, look for XM6r5 to be released very soon (less than 24 hours from now). Still no transcriber, but stable like XM6r3.

rom's & radios

hey guys....a nice little noob here.

So ive recently began reading up on upgrading my wizard to a nice wm6 rom. im interested in a stable touch rom, ive narrowed it down to a couple (mostly TNT, OCTAIVOI and NBD). ive read a couple of posts mentioning a specific rom using a specific radio, to insure stablitity. I want the bling in my phone but with most stability i can get. So overall this confused me a little bit. i ran a search and couldnt find anything.

the question is: im assuming when you flash a rom, theres a radio included in it. but when people use a specific radio, how is that done. Do they flash the radio after the rom or vice versa?

heres an example. i looked at the TNT.1933, it is mentioned that 2.19.11 UK is the most stable. is that radio included in the rom or is it a recommendation? if its not included how do you flash it?
