Its as easy as step 6 only ;)

Just don't include the IPL/SPL of course.
[G4] jedisefis1:
i donwloaded i follow the steps and thats it!!!

great job

but i have a littlequestion

where the wm6 (and any other rom) works faster ?

in softflash

in hardflash

or in the classic install, normal rom hard install with cid unlocks and ....

just to now

thx
[G4] mestrini:
The speed of the ROM depends on a lot of factors:

- Available memory;

- Chef's work with dlls, registry settings and package handling;

- Page Pool value;

- Processor speed (overclocking)

- others i can't recall...

but i can say that it doesn't depend on the chosen method to flash the ROM :P
[G4] stuff:
So with this I can flash any ROM onto my G4 device without using shelltool? Meaning I can use the update utility?
[G4] the-equinoxe:
Yup, you don't need shelltool anymore.

Be careful what you flash though, flashing IPL/SPL is very dangerous!
[G4] xtr3m3:
I just used this instead of sheltool, works wonders! Thanks for all the people who worked on this :D
[G4] Olipro:
Might be an idea if I made a safe one too to prevent SPL/IPL flashing... although to be honest, people really should just apply Hard-SPL
[G4] sehgal121:
Everything went smooth.

This is the first time I upgraded the ROM and everything went really smooth. I used wizard_love rom.

I followed the steps religiously and could get everything working.

-What ROM did you flash?

[G4] LancerV:
Question Upgrading Rom? Have a G4 Wizard run Soft SPL and it goes to white screen but when I try to upload the rom it says verfying info and than says connection error?
[G4] the-equinoxe:
So you installed a ROM containing IPL/SPL in it and you are not even sure what ROM?

That is just begging for a brick..

@LancerV

Have you tried another USB-port/PC?

We noticed that some "small footprint" XP installs didn't cope very well with flashing while in Soft SPL.
[G4] famekhan:
MDA Dead

What is Wizard

I have a Cingular 8125 phone and what to update to rev4. How to I go about doing this I have download the rev4 files but I keep reading that it is for wizards only? What is wizard? sorry for the dumb questions but thanks!
[G4] the-equinoxe:
rev4. ???

rev4 files??

Rev4 of what?
[G4] mestrini:
never mind m8. he was 'cross posting' and placing same question in different threads. He's talking about dferreira's WM5 rev4 custom ROM but he also said he needed some sleep and that has already managed to flash it successfully.

cheers
[G4] anas_shikha:
Thanx alot.

It worked correctly ;)

But I've a question please ;

How Can I install Roms that contains IPL and SPL with your great tool :rolleyes:

Thanx again

SoftSPL-V0.1.zip link doesnot work !!! :(
[G4] xdaking:
Very very nice, i've flashed this rom using SoftSPL on a G4, and everythings went fine. this is the second device ive flashed with this rom. top class work

thank you very much
[G4] mrdummy:
Unbelieveable... it's working great. I give you 100x heaven greetings! _O_

For noobs:

Just unpack SoftSPL in the (selfmade) directory (for example /softspl/), choose ROM you want flash, then put only nk.nbf in same directory /softspl/. Nothing more!

Now connect to pc, ActiveSync should activate and connect with device.

If ActiveSync is online, run START-sSPL and take a cup of coffee.

Make sure you don't something too much on the pc, close all programs is better for succesfully ROM upload procedure.

Wait with patient, you see linux pinguin, suddeny white screen, then wait for Uploadtool (same as original RUU ROM) window, just follow instructions on your pc, upload starts.

By 99% it needs some time for 100%. Then your device reboot and you're ready to go! Have fun with new ROM.

Still unbelieveable with my locked device. _O_ Whoa!
[G4] Neurosurg:
Great tool

The soft SPL has worked great on my MDA Vario G4 CID locked. Simply followed the instruction and used G4 safe ROM (TNT with touch flo). Everything went fine and now have WM6 on my device. I tried the Shell Tool couple of months ago and didn't succeed with me. Great tool. Thanks

Hi !

I want to flash a new radio rom on my device, but in the opening post i saw you had to have IPL / SPL 2.21.xx , but i have 2.18.0001 .

Is it possible to use this tool or do i have to do something first ?

Thanks !!
[G4] the-equinoxe:
You need your eyes checked ;)

There is nothing in the opening post about needing 2.21.xx

Please read OP again (Carefully) because failing to understand but proceeding anyways can brick your device.

Be careful with the radio ROM, also make sure you don't flash IPL/SPL (this could brick your device).
[G4] Pvanwelt:
The start post says:

I understand all steps but the last made me think, it says :

DO NOT PROCEED WITH RUU if the screen isn't WHITE, OR when in bootloader SPL version isn't 2.21.olip

don't proceed if the screen isn't white -> check

OR when in bootloader SPL version isn't 2.21 olip (mine isn't at the moment?)

or is this going to change wile running softSPL ?

That's why i'm posting, just to be sure.

And about the radio rom, i found "T-Mobile-NL_2.19.11_Radio_Only" on the forum, it says radio only, this should work i think (i have t-mobile NL).
[G4] the-equinoxe:
last step is WHEN THE PROGRAM IS RUNNING.

As has been written before.

If you fail to understand the steps, please keep clear from this software.

It has the potential of flashing your wizard into a brick.

There are no safety lines, so be careful.
[G4] Pvanwelt:
I have flashed my device yesterday from my WM6 rom back to the original qtek (2.18.7.06) NL rom, dan then with SoftSPL to the new Black Diamond 3.1

It works great !!
[G4] db on cbr100xx:
I read the wiki very carefully. Followed all steps for G4 device up to loading the ?Soft SPL stage. Got a linux penguin screen on my device [o2 mini s] with some green text referring to a preloader; the last line saying 'loaded...'

As the screen didn't go white I didn't proceed with the Phone ROM update utility. What is the significance of a white screen over a black one with a penguin other than their colours. How can I rectify or move forward - did I need to wait for something or have I done something wrong? Unplugged the device and had to remove the battery to get it back - all OK.

Would really like to u/g to WM6 but anxious not to 'brick' my spare Wizard, naturally 8-)
[G4] dferreira:
You have to use ActiveSync as Guest, that should work. I remember I had to do it like that, otherwise, only a black Tux screen ;)
[G4] db on cbr100xx:
Thanks for the quick reply but, as I said, I followed all the steps carefully up to this point and I was connected on as 'guest', so am stumped it appears 8-)
[G4] iFilae:
thanks...great tools.. :)

i'm using TNT Series now.... :cool:
[G4] PcPaul:

thanks to all developers
[G4] headlie:
Great job. It works for my T-MOBILE MDA

I flashed NBD V9.2. Thank you very much
[G4] teejayburgin:
ok, maybe this is a dumb question but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. it says to extract the nk.nbf file from the rom you chose. well when I download the rom (blackdiamond 3.1) it is a .rar file, from where does the nk.nbf file come?
[G4] jgdorado:
Yeah...so did I (the penguin) then after a short time lost sync (as guest) and "ERROR 260" then the program quit.

I had to soft reset (fortunately) everything came back as original. So now I'm still trying to find something that works.

The Wizard Service Tool doesn't work I've even transferred the 2 cab files f/pg 1 and ran from the phone...nothing but errors
[G4] jgdorado:
Can an 8925 be a G4?

I need to ask a question...flame away I don't care......:)

My understanding of the "wizard" is that it's an 8925/Hermes/etc

I have an ATT tilt aka tytnII/8929/kaiser/etc

Have I crossed paths with the wrong stuff here. My SPL# is 1.56.0000 which designates it as a G4 device. Is it a coincidence and has nothing to do with G4???
[G4] bln73:
Worked for me after some tough time

hi,

i had downloaded g4 sage rom before; however, i was not sure if my kjam was cid locked. i am in india and i had bought the mobile from a shop and loaded my prepaid SIM. So, the carrier did not supply the mobile. but, whenever i flashed it always returned to the wm5 that was installed. i had used shelltool before, on a XDAII i had sold but i was attracted by the newer sspl. first time i ran sspl, there was no white screen just the penguin!!!. i ran it again, i got update errror. i ran it again after stopping all unimportant process in my xp computer, removed the cd from the drive and flashed again - IT WORKED!!!! i flashed the XM6R5, then Khan's then ti2 and found all working. interesting fact is that i had forgotten about the sd card but it sailed safe!!!!

i am now interested in cooking my rom. i will be doing it shortly; will notify when successful.

Many great thanks to the Whole of XDA developers community for such a marvellous facilitation.

thanks and regards,

b. l'narasimhan

Please help I think I have bricked my P4300

I have a P4300. I attempted to upgrade to [WM6.1] Prophet ShadoW 2.0 TE

while running wizard love 2.26.10.2_wwe novii cf2

the boot screen shows:

IPL 2.21.0001

SPL 2.21.0lip

GSM 02.25.11

OS 5.2.20.21

AKU 2.23

It then shows the HTC logo and remains there. I can get to bootloader, by holding the camera button while doing a soft-reset. but activesync doesn't recognize the device . Is there a way to transfer a rom to the device without the activesync connection?

Any help would be Greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

SPL_Version has no value

As per the subject the hard_SPL-G4 utility is not working on my phone... any takers.

ROM: Wizard Love WM 6.0.0.0. AKU 2.3;

IPL and SPL:2.25.0001;

Carrier: Tmobile.

@Samtor202

you can't flash a Prophet ROM to a P4300.

Subject is SOFT SPL..

I can gather from your very detailed description:

nothing, my crystall ball is broken..

Please provide us with relevant data, what happends, what errors, what OS on PC (full or slipstreamed/stripped -> they have a lot of errors).

etc etc.

Please proceed in HARD SPL thread.
[G4] Mageeta:
well good game i think i failed

So when i flashed it changed my IPL to 2.21.0001

but my SPL is still 2.28.0001

GSM 02.25.11

however i hastily continued and flashed my OS that now says 6.0.0.1 it was a safe rom the touch flow one here for the g4 wizard.

However i'm guessing that since my spl was wrong, that is why it failed. error was something like can not run something.exe

So... now i'm stuck at the bootscreen HTC that lists this info. I tried the hold down voice and camera button but that just restarts the phone back to the bootscreen.Maybe i'm doing it wrong? idk

Is there a way to reset this or fix it... or am i out the $ for a paperwieght.

umm... just found out that if i get to the bootscreen that is bared with red green blue white... and i plug in the cable there is a smal usb text in the bottom left. however activesync does not trigger (turn green or connect. however, there is a pc connect ping sound, and it seems that i can navigate to my mobile from my computer however there is nothing there/ on it. when i run the wizard service tool though, it can not connect to the device.

So i figured out how to do the factory reset. but it says hit send. then it looks like it formats it but when i restarts it still takes me to the same boot screen with the ipl/spl and ****ty broken flashed OS

....sigh... please help : (

Much thanks and understanding guys, let me know if you need more info.

my pc-os is a lite xp pro but i don't think that had anything to do with my failings. and i had the most up to date activesync

Update!!!

wow having a working phone is way better than sleeping. I spent all night looking things up and found wizard love. and now i have a working phone...

So i guess i'm stupid and yet i still want to give this another shot..

???After i use your tool what should my SPL be?

When do i know it's safe to flash the WM6 rom???

...i hope you enjoyed my epic adventure. more to come i'm sure.
[G4] zabardast_1:
Well,I presume the 'SoftSPL' was not installed successfully on your phone,as you say the ipl changed but the spl remained the same,if it had been successful,you shud have had SPL version 2.21.olip,as instructed by the-equinoxe :

"DO NOT PROCEED WITH RUU if the screen isn't WHITE, OR when in bootloader SPL version isn't 2.21.olip"

Reread the guide again throughly and do it correctly.

Cheers!
[G4] Mageeta:
Thanks zabardast_1,

Well right now my phone is working 100% with wizard love rom going. I'm a little more paranoid now about doing this again.

For my g4 safe rom. I want to make sure i understand this. Does the sspl-s.nb from wizard love count as one. i'm know that's noobish but since i bought/my carrier is a local wireless group called Centennial. There is no clearly defined safe rom out there that says hey this is for you 1% people that use Centennial. i'm sure they run off some t-mobile or other venue but is there any way to tell what safe rom i should or could be using given my Centennial condition.

After mr.white screen the spl should be changed or by-passed right.. that's the point of it i'm guessing. Is there a way to check to see if my CID is unlocked/bypassed before i try and run the RUU. Like with the wizard service tool? or should this not be a problem.

I think before my problem of why my SPL didn't change was because i used a T-mobile g4 safe-rom and it didn't like that. I'm i right in thinking this?

Also, what does the program do if you do not copy a sspl-s.nb in the softSLP. Does it run like normal and not change the SLP or unlock the CID? I'm guessing the T-mobile one was either not recognised or was not the right one??

I'm going to wait to hear back from someone before i try this again.

Thanks for the help in advance.

i'm just happy to have my phone back... now i just need to find a way to get it updated >.<

help with g4 hardspl flash!!!

i need help!! i followed the sticky on the G4 from equinoxe on how to hard flash it..step by step..and it was going ok..until when the hareet app starts to load that turns my screen white..it always disconnects from the host pc..i tried it about 5-8 times..everytime the RUU would update (the 2 times that it even reached that stage) it would disconnect..leaving my phone in the white screen mode 7 times..and in the 3 color bar mode once..then i would just shut off and turn it on and everything's back to normal..any thoughts? thanx in advance..

Works for me

I just finished installing The TNT rom wm6 after running hardspl and then Softspl, thanks so much! and I sent my cid block to the email listed under the first post.
[G4] StevesDesigns:
wm6.1

I have tried now 2 different roms that are wm6.1 roms... The first is OCTAIVOI v6.3 and the second is SNN 2.0.

Octaivoi had an ExtRom in it - when I ran Start-sSpl it copied the files, and then came up with some writting in green and stayed that way till it started the update, then saw the progress bar on the wizard... It stops at 84% and errors out the updater. I soft reset (remove batt) and come back to the bootloader screen. I flash the official tmo rom. I know, Its supposed to be a white screen. Every other rom I have done has had this white screen and I have flashed lots. Maybe the ExtRom?

SNN 2.0 - Splash Screen, HTC Logo, and OS Only according to WST. So I tried this one... Same thing... No white screen, some green writing (I apologize for not knowing what the writing is... I didnt write it down, and dont want to try and reflash with them for fear of bricking). Come time to update, I see the progress bar as before on the phone. This time goes all the way to 100%. Reboots, and I see the very first screen has changed, but then back to the bootloader screen.

Each time I flash, I always go to the official rom before flashing any new roms.

I have flashed wm6.1 on this wizard before. It was the first one released and had lots of bugs. So now I would like to try one that has been "chef'd" for a more stable wm6.1 rom.

Any thoughts?
[G4] the-equinoxe:
You mean a black field, a picture of a pinguin and green writing?

That means that the softSPL isn't fully loaded.

You would see the HaRet screen.

Retry the Soft SPL until the screen is white. DON'T flash UNLESS the screen is white!

DON'T FLASH OFFICIAL ROMs USING Soft/Hard SPL!!!

If You do, remove the SPL/IPL First.

Soft and Hard SPL will allow you to flash ANYTHING to your device (so also the bad things which will brick your device).

Returning to official ROM isn't necessary.

Because it worked for you in the past, what have you changed lately to the OS configuration? Everything to do with USB drivers (any!) since the last working flash.

Since you are a flashing addict (like me) you'd be better off with a hard SPL, then you wouldn't have to use Soft SPL every time (If you don't flash IPL/SPL)
[G4] StevesDesigns:
I flashed Merlin_Reloadeds slim rom with out a hitch... This was one of the roms on my to try list... Same process as any other rom...

Official roms use the official RUU....

Thats why I was wondering if it had something to do specificly with those roms.... but the OS load area is still the same... the 0800040000 something or other... I dunno... I stumped... hehe...

The other 2 roms, I didnt see the penguin... if the screen goes white, I see the penguin for a tiny brief second before it does.

But for now, I suppose I will give Merlins a try.

Thank you soooo very much for this wonderful tool to flash the G4's!!!! I dont know what I would do without it!

[G4] compewter:
Hello everyone, I've come for help!

I've read through this thread and found it to be the most informative, but at this point I am still not able to get my Wizard flashed from the T-Mobile MDA flash to the Cingular 8125 flash.

I have unlocked the phone via the unlock code provided by TMobile. Before that I had the HardSPL unlock installed ( Olip bootloader ).

I've reverted back to original as I can get, here's what's currently on the phone:

IPL: 2.25.0001

SPL: 2.25.0001

GSM: 02.25.11

OS: 2.26.10.2

I hard-reset the device, formatting it and all. Right now it's sitting as an unlocked, unbranded phone, only identifiable as TMobile by the logo on the front, and the bootloader screen. I prevented all the TMobile crap from loading up by soft-resetting the device after the hard reset.

I have tried just about every possible method I can find to get the AT&T/Cingular flash on to this device, and nothing works. Most recently, when trying to use this softSPL flashing method, when I copy the AT&T nk.nbf file over to the directory I'm using, everything works fine up until I get an Error 238. It currently has an AT&T SIM card in it, and works, but I want to get the AT&T flash on the phone to make sure all the features, etc are good. Plus, I'm just OCD like that. One thought I was having is that the TMobile OS version is 2.26.... where the AT&T OS version is 2.25... could this possibly have something to do with it?

I'm at wit's end. Please help!
[G4] maghec:
Hi everyone!

I have a question (silly one maybe), but i just didn't get it and wanted to be sure. Do i need to use this enablerapi.cab and cert_SPCS.cab first, in order to use SoftSPL?

off

Also i managed to flash to Love ROM without softspl, only with RUU_NoID.

But when i try to flash any WM6 G4 safe rom (mine is G4) with RUU_NoID, after the Hard Reset it's Love ROM again. Most likely its CID locked, but I'm not sure.

/off
[G4] cesarr4:
Excellent work with this tutorial. I tried every flashing method described in this site and believe me, this is the most straight-forward that I ever used before.

Hope this tool keep being updated more often to improve its method (I mean a GUI for the hole operation by example).

Thanks again.
