[G4] Amoxaphobic:
This is getting old...

Ok, I'm a noob... and I'll be the first to admit that. I also do not expect a response seein ghow no one has responded to this thread in a while, but this is getting old and I really want to get a new rom.

First, let me say that I did not just decide to ask the question. I have researched this, tried about 30 times and about 4 days straight now to get this damn thing to work, but for some reason the only ROMS I can get to work at CanonYang (which is supposed to be HARD SPL) and Open touch. No other rom works and I am not sure why. I have tried Soft SPL, Re-Hard SPL, just using the ROM... everything.

Usually I get a 222 error, but I have had a 234, 264, 260 and a number of other errors. My screen does go white for each of these loads, but then nothing happens... just the error and I am forced to remove the batt to even get the thing to turn on again.

Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong? I think it might be useful to say that my IPL and SPL both start with 4.xx and now my SPL is 4.70.Yang. So, theoretically, from what I have read I should just be able to use and RUU and update the wizard. But, it doesn't seem to be that simple.

Please help.
[G4] the-equinoxe:
Are you sure you have a HTC wizard?

I haven't seen a SPL 4.70.yang yet on a wizard, because it's an HERALD hard SPL..
[G4] Amoxaphobic:
You know what? I thought it was... It's the Tmo Wing.

I have read a lot of different forums and I obviously did find something that would work, so I had just assumed that they were the same thing. Possibly the different brand names but the same item?? Like I said, I am a noob, so please don't bash on that too hard, but that's what I get for assuming huh?
[G4] Amoxaphobic:
Yup

Well Equinoxe, turns out that you were right and I have a HERALD, not a WIZARD. I guess that's why you are looked up to so highly. And, IMO, this makes me look up to you as well. Instead of flaming, you simply gave a solution. So, for that I thank you.

And thank you for doing such great work. Your name is all over this site, so you're obviously doing something right! LoL
[G4] the-equinoxe:
Thanks for your reply.

Are you able to flash Herald Roms now?

The device is already hard SPL'ed so please be carefull not to flash a ROM containing IPL/SPL.

Most (not all) hard SPLs take away the safety net, although Olipro and Pof also made flash-proof hard SPLs (meaning the spl only can be upgraded with special procedure, and not a normal flash).

Have fun and flash with caution ;)
[G4] Amoxaphobic:
Yup, I can flash herald ROMS with no program. Thanks for your advice and your help. :)

Can I use SoftSPL for a G3 Wizard?

I hade a broken G3 Wizard and had to relock it again and flash the original ROM. The replacement Wizard was a G4. The Display didn't work after 2 weeks and I noticed that it was so easy just to flash the original ROM. Now I got a G3 again and I wonder if I could keep it locked and use SoftSPL to flash it.
[G4] the-equinoxe:
you can't flash a G3 with a g4 sspl or Hard SPL, hard spl would break your device.

[G4] Nepov:
My wizard disconnects after the white screen

Hello everyone. Fist of all, I would like to thanks in advance for any help you guys could offer me. Here is the deal: I've tried using the softSPL method to install the newest TNT wm6.1 rom into my wm5 G4 (I'm sure) wizard. The process goes smoothly at the beginning, with the white screen showing on my device. However, as soon as the RUU window shows, so i could begin the flashing process, i lose my activesync. Simply the green ball representing the connection disappears when i reach it with the mouse (it doesn't turn to a white ball, it disappears completely and i lose my connection with the device).

Since i didn't read anything like it on the instructions, i assume there is something wrong?

I'm running this process on my windows xp pro and the SPL and the other one is 22.0001 or something like it. Also, sometimes i tried clicking on the next button on that RUU screen and when it is about to flash a error message appears (something like the flashing coudn't be done) and i have to cancel the process. I'm in terrible fear of bricking the pocket phone...what should i do?

One more thing, that RUU window doesn´t show anything about the rom on that "rom information" section, even the screen inside the virtual pda is pitch black without any logon of the TNT rom...

Please, help me solve this problem! Thank you again for your patience in reading all this stuff!!
[G4] AYALA445:
hy.. when you say "DO NOT PROCEED WITH RUU if....SPL version isn't 2.21.olip" you mean that first hard spl have tobe made for having 2.21.olip spl????

thanks...

-Unzip SoftSPL.zip

-copy the nk.nbf file from desired G4 safe ROM to the :confused:

how do I tell if it's a g4 rom or not?
[G4] mestrini:
Nowadays all cooked roms don't include bootloader files (IPL/SPL), thus making them G4 (and G3) safe.

But if you want to be sure simply use WST and check the nk.nbf file as the tool as an option to verify what is in a ROM ;)

cheers

PS:

the above could have been answered quickly by reading the wiki...

Hi guys!

I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario 2 with WM6, the bootloader shows HERM 300 IPL-1.01 HERM300 SPL-1.40.Olipro

Can i use this tool to unlock my device?
[G4] mestrini:
For some reason this forum section is called "Wizard" and not "Hermes" ;)

Maybe you should check there... although you say your phone has an Olipro bootloader which is the same as having it already unlocked. So you should read the wiki and other threads to know what you have in your hands.

Cheers

[G4] the-equinoxe:
Hi,

PLease try the Mun Rus RUU as attached (linked) in the TS.

This one won't error out.

Best regards,

[G4] tony-coimbra:
sorry, i don't understand, can you explain better? :(
[G4] the-equinoxe:
1st this is the SOFT SPL thread, You already have the HARD SPL.

Don't Use them together.

In the topic start (of the HARD SPL) there is a link to Mun's RUU (Rom Update Utility).

Use that one to flash.

Hi Loise2020,

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies

It may clear up the hard/soft spl thing for you. I thought probably hard spl would be the way to go since I could care less about warrantee on a phone that was supposed to be dead to begin with in a $20.00 Ebay deal.

Don't feel bad, I translate from Redneck to bad english ya'll.

Microsoft has something new. Here is a capture of the main gist.

The Microsoft Translator team is excited to announce the new translation bot for Windows Live Messenger! This Messenger bot does translations for you. Just add mtbot@hotmail.com to your contacts and start chatting. You can have one-on-one conversations with the bot, or you can invite a friend and chat in different languages with the bot translating for you.

I had added mtbot to contacts. But, have not looked at it to see if it can be used for quick translations. The handy old babblefish had been sold to Yahoo I think. I have not used babblefish in a few months. http://babelfish.yahoo.com/?fr=avbbf-us

[G4] CrowdedCranium:
Umm, yes having rolled back I see that last was next to no help and a waste of text.

RAPI. Hmmm, I ran across a couple of general interest items from Mu$

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa920274.aspx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa920177.aspx

The system on which the tool thing gathered info for me is setup with:

WindowsXP Pro (SP3)

Active Sync 4.5

Cheap Generic USB A/B cable

Cingular 8125 (G4) stock standard oobe WM5

All that is pretty bland. My user "account" on this desktop has full admin rights.

This Mu$ page mentions RAPI security and ActiveSync

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa920482.aspx

A tinkerers suggestion would lean toward the level of access permissions your login account on your desktop. Check Microcrap updates. Possibly Re-install activesync 4.5.

If microsofts end is having a brain attack it has gone way over my head. I will run that tool this evening when I am back at the desktop and see if it has any mention of RemoteAPI errors or restrictions.

Interesting puzzle to mull over. Not one I have run across personallly yet but interesting all the same

Finally got HardSPL to work for me

I have been reading xda-developers wiki and forum for some time now.

I tried SoftSPL with no luck. I tried HardSPL too, but it could not get past the SoftSPL stage.

I did manage to update to a newer WM5 ROM using shelltool.

When I tried shelltool to get a WM6 ROM, my phone would stay at the IPL/SPL splash.

I thought I killed it.

This took some reading to get back to a working ROM.

After licking my wounds I decided to try again.

Here's the news:

I ran clear storage to totally wipe my phone and I hit reset to stop the auto-install of Cingular's Extended ROM.

I connected to my Windows XP computer and canceled to stay a guest.

I then ran HardSPL. It ran so fast I thought I messed up, it said the correct IPL/SPL when it started.

I did a soft reset again to confirm.

I flashed a TNT WM6 ROM, but had issues with battery life and what programs were in the ROM (old versions).

I read some more forum pages. Catch the theme -- READ.

I now have TNT WM6.1 and am very happy. I was able to flash straight from WM6 to WM6.1.

I had to use ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID to do it.

WST shows the information below.

I posted to both SoftSPL and HardSPL forums since this may help both methods. I saw where someone tried this on SoftSPL, and it did not work for them. I only did HardSPL after clear storage so I cannot say if it would have worked for me, but I think HardSPL does a SoftSPL first.

I make no guarantees, but maybe this will help someone else out there not able to get SoftSPL or HardSPL to work.
[G4] CrowdedCranium:
Hey!

I noticed you went from Radio: 02.25.11 to Radio: 02.71.11.

Earlier in the week, I had run across a thread here in XDA pertaining to different radio versions and was trying to make heads or tails out of it before I got sidetracked until now when your post jogged my memory.

Motivated by a morbid sense of curiosity, I'm wondering if you could please annotate what improvements and or disimprovements you have noticed in the 71 over the stock 25 version?

On my stock 8125 it seems like it takes forever to connect WiFi and the connection to my home portal is easily lost. I had replaced my ancient SBC home portal with a newer model which can accomodate 4 ethernet ports. Something I had needed for some time. The WiFi on this newer portal really seems about the same as the older model. So, I am leaning toward the thought that this 8125 could use some juicing up.

That I remember the Radio thread did not illucidate what the major differences in performance +/- one could expect from the different ROMS. Although, entries under each seem to indicate more bars for the cell reception.
[G4] RoryB:
I did not have problems with WiFi connecting or dropping off before upgrading. Running 802.11g at home and the office.

I just had been reading about the latest radio and since mine was so low (25 vs 71) I decided to flash it too.

Probably a little high on the success of finally being able to flash I could not stop. I know that could have been dangerous.

I have noticed my new ROM/radio seems to connect to previously set up connection points very quickly.

I have only had the new ROM/radio a few days.

It seems the battery runs down quicker. I do not know if this is the ROM or the radio. Perhaps someone else could direct you to a forum that discusses that advantages of 2.19 UK versus 2.71.
[G4] zabardast_1:
Plz guys,this thread is specifically started and stickied for upgrading G4 devices through SoftSPL,don't hijack the thread ,there are plenty of posts discussing Radio Roms,go post your queries in those posts.
[G4] CrowdedCranium:
Thanks much.

Power drain is not a really pressing issue in my case.

Nearly every place I set down to check the mailbox has a USB or Ciggie lighter close at hand. So, in my case it is more the annoyance for the wifi connectivity part. Of course this will be a moot point soon with the new N proto becoming ratified sometime in our exhisting lifetimes. Which will of course mandate either a new pocket thing to carry around and keep the GPS locator company or, gasp, buy a new device.

The Wizard I found for $25.00 on Ebay sold as dead. Is a "Cingular 8125 (G4)". And fortune had it that it merely had a hairball on the battery contact.

Want to upgrade ROM

Hi all,

After trying many things and coming up against a few strange problems I have finally managed to get an old wizard love rom on the G4 Wizard.

On boot it shows

IPL 3.08.0001

SPL 3.08.0001

GSM 02.25.11

OS 2.26.10.2

Can you tell me the best and SAFEST (i dont want a brick) way to get a nicer rom on there and perhaps suggest a nice ROM for me? (yes i know there is no "best ROM" but something decent that alot of people like)

I have read many forums on here and dont mind being redirected to one, but the problem is there are so many and the overload of information is a little mind boggling and I wish to tread with caution on this one!!

btw its only a 200mhz processor and Im unsure whether to overclock it and own it or just leave as is.

Am I safe to follow the instructions here? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=wizard_WM_6

From what I gather I should use the Method 1 - Shelltool and pick a ROM from that list??

Thanx in advance! :)

Nic
[G4] RoryB:
I do not understand. If you are truly unlocked, I would think you would not need ShellTool to install the new ROM. You would be able to use noidupgradeutility.

How did you get to where you are with your phone (Wizard Love ROM)?

Did your phone start with the IPL/SPL that is in your post?

I thought G4 cannot be unlocked, but only tricked through SoftSPL or HardSPL.

I am running without overclock and have been satisfied with the operation of this ROM.

BTW I have used all three methods on my phone. ShellTool - HardSPL - SoftSPL

Just in case http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381645
[G4] technickal:
hi, thanks for your reply

I got to this stage by downloading a wizard love rom installer and ran it from xp. It was in swedish or something like that, however i navigated through it and it went through 0-100%, powercycled phone and bingo.

I origanlly had an extended rom or bloatware from tmobile and i found a tool to format that. So that is gone.

Then i tried to flash a faria cooked rom and it crapped itself.

was stuck on bootloader only displaying the colours and

IPL 3.08.0001

SPL 3.08.0001

I freaked! But managed to get the wizard rom working as mentioned above.

However I hear there are far nicer roms and everybody is telling me to go to 6.1

Just need a little guidance before I jump in the deep end
[G4] RoryB:
Sorry to ask again, but what was your IPL/SPL before?

Do you remember the thread that you got the Wizard Love ROM from?

I am just concerned from threads I have read having led me to believe that you cannot do what you said on a G4.

I have read where people have gotten Wizrd Love ROM on a G4, but could not get anything else to install afterward.
[G4] technickal:
its was the same, hasnt changed

I cant remember which thread it was, am i cant really be bothered looking through them all again to find it as the forums here are quite messy.

I have however met a member on here who has sent me direct instructions for the handset and I will perform a hardspl and ruu flash of a 6.1 ROM later on tonight

cheers
[G4] RoryB:
I did not mean to offend.

I am actually anxious to see if there was something new out there.

It appears your phone came with IPL/SPL 3.08 and is still CID locked.

HardSPL will give you a semi-permanent unlock.

Let me know how your upgrade goes. Good luck.
