i screwed up my cingular 8125 g4 pda and it freezes at the opening screen with the ipl,spl etc.
so i need to flash a factory cingular g4 rom.
i've looked and can only find the g3 rom on the htc site.
does anyone know where i can find the g4 rom for my 8125.
thanks
This is the one I just used lastnight to reflash my G4 I got stuck with after someone stole my G3
Hope it helps.

I thought I read that the rom on the above site was for a G3 only.

No, that's the official signed ROM from HTC (hence it being posted on their website)
It's only unsigned (custom ROMs found on this site) and "cross-carrier" ROMs that are G3/G4 specific.

There's always a chance of bricking a G4 while trying to flash an "oringinal" rom that contains IPL/SPL

Ok i am going to start a list of roms that dont have the IPL/SPL included that can be flashed to the G4 type devices

I am currently running this rom it is very fast and i like it i have added a few items to mine from molskis cabs to tweak it to my liking
MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224a_AKU23_WWE is also runs on G4 locked wizards. but it's not makes me happier, cuz not one of AKU3.x does flash.
PLEASE include ipl/spl of your device in post!

This will help the Guru's determine if there's a compatability issue with the higher ipl/spl devices. (it appears some G4 devices can be upgraded, while others might not be able to. )

My device is CID-Locked.

Found out the reason that the 3rd Edition of Molski didn't work was due to the old "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" used by Molski. After I changed it to the newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe, it flashed. However, I'm facing the same problem with other G4 users where only the Extended ROM and splash screen were updated, not the OS and radio.

Well, the Wizard Love ROM mentioned in the first post worked. It's using the new NoID_RUU. My phone has been upgraded to OS 2.26.10.2 AKU 2.3 now.
same for me. I have 2.21.001, CID Locked and Wizard love took my aku from 2.0 to 2.3, all works great.

following is my device info :
IPL /SPL 2.21.0001
GSM 01.07.10
OS 2.21.4.1
i have a o2 mini s and have not changed the rom even once on this device
so , from what a gather , the rom mentioned in the first page ( wizard_love) will work on my device ????

IPL/SPL 2.21.0001
Running Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_G4_WWE-30MB, works fine. Allthough I needed to flash it twice to get the OS part updated.
Not sure if my device is CID-locked or not, how can I check to make sure?
i think all are locked ... not sure myself if there is any way to check ??
Wizard-Love works in my O2 with CID locked!

You need to be clearer.
1.) Is your device a G3 or a G4 chipset?
2.) If you flashed a ROM with the IPL/SPL information for the wrong chipset, you may have bricked it.
3.) Is it CID unlocked? If so, flashing a ROM on your device may have bricked it.
Please give us more detail about what it's doing.
If you have truly bricked it (made it totally unusable), your only option may be to send it in for repair/replacement. If not, there may still be some hope.
It appears that English may not be your primary language. If this is the case, I HIGHLY recommend getting some personal assistance in understanding the information provided by the person who provided the ROM.
DON'T EVER FLASH A ROM IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS 100%!!!!!!
If you think you just have a feel for it, go back and re-read it until you understand!
That having been said, WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY!
We all help as we can.
I confirm it is cingular 8125(Wizard 100) is G4 chipset. Befor i flash, IPL/SPL is 2.25.0001. I may have bricked it!
Thanks!
yes, it's definitely bricked. Never flash a G4 with a G3 ROM. Check ur Private Message.
i have the self problem with my xda mini s, before was an G3, then i have updatet to G4, if bricked, .... nothing if
plzz help
i have bricked my qtek will updating, there is any way to turn it on..
plz help me..
If you flash the G3 ipl/spl to a G4 wizard.I'm sorry to say that your Wizard is broken .Are you in china now ,if you in china,you can change the brocken chip .it's cost 400 RMB.
I flashed a ROM with G3 IPL/SPL to my G4 and was able to recover by cooking my own ROM.
please can you share ur cooked rom with us please?
I would be happy to. However, all I did was followed the tutorials found on this site, and cooked it using the WWE off htc's website, stripping the IPL/SPL.
I downloaded RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_G4_WWE-30MB version of ROM and i upgraded it to my device.
IPL 2.18
ISL 2.18--> but this version might be upgrade these for 2.26, but nothing happened. Can anyone help me why? my device CID locked and i using Crossbow now i just wanted to upgrade IPL the newest version... If anyone can post me a link where can i download working IPL upgrader for a locked G4 i will be happy!

If your Wizard is fully functional, why would you want to upgrade these on your device? If you do some reading on the Hermes you will find that the carriers/manufacturer are using the bootloaders to make it harder to update your device (i.e. the .0108 bootloaders) locking your device to a certain radio. I would steer away from upgrading these unless absolutely necessary, so as to upgrade a radio if required for example.
BTW: Most of the ROMs cooked for G4's that are cooked to not touch the bootloaders to 1) prevent noobs from bricking their device and 2)to allow any ROM to be installed. Aren't the developers great? They cook these for both G3 and G4.
IPL/SPL can't be replaced on a G4 with any of the roms atm, but if you got IPL/SPL 2.18 you're device isn't a G4!

But I've got three zeros after that 2.18.0001 I think this is absolutely G4--> the reason why I want to update IPL is, my speaker make no voice and I think after that can be working again
That makes more sense. IPL/SPL 2.18.0001 makes it a G4. I haven't seen a update possibility for IPL/SPL on a G4 yet. Be very careful, flashing 2.26 on a G4 will brick you're device!

This doesn't mean you can't try flashing a different cooked rom for a G4. Try it, the other possibility may be a hardware failure (bad speaker).

As mentioned in an earlier post... there is no way to update the IPL/SPL on a G4 as of yet. I do not think you will be able to find such a ROM. The only way I think you would be able to do this is if your carrier released an official ROM specifically for your G4 device, but that is unlikely. None of the G4 ROMS cooked by the Xda-Devs that I'm aware of, update the IPL/SPL. Try a different cooked G4 ROM, if that doesn't work I suggest having that speaker checked out. I don't remember reading anything anywhere about the bootloaders affecting the devices speaker function.
I searched the site and only saw some people who are using the t-mo MDA rom on the g3 wizards - but I have a cid locked g4 8125. I looked in the t-mo MDA rom and it has a ipl / spl file, but will it brick my phone if I try to flash it? Thanks!
You may use ShellTool which will extract and flash only the OS portion for you.
I read a post in another thread on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325961
That said 'you would brick the phone if you update seperately'.

You will need to CID unlock your device before you can flash the T-Mobile firmware to your 8125. The G4 CID unlock is ready for use I think. I would do a bit of reading to hear all of the trial and error and read the update history and make sure I know what I was getting into before starting. Fortunately, I have a G3 and it is CID unlocked. Unfortunately, It's currently broken and is un-usable...
In the unfortunate event that you need to revert back to your carrier's official rom to send your device in for service or an exchange, with HardSPL installed on your device you will be unable to do this as technically it voids your warranty. Fortunately there is a solution to this.
the-equinoxe said:
You can flash the ROMs with the RUU in the ROM package, should you have trouble with upgrading, try Mun's RUU (thanks for the tip Boto).
So no need to downgrade before upgrade anymore.
But don't flash ROMs containing IPL/SPL. -(This means do NOT flash an official Rom)

There is one way to revert back to an Official Rom should you need to though.
In order to flash an Official Rom again, you will need to remove HardSPL because flashing an Official Rom with an IPL/SPL with the patched SPL already installed, you will find yourself in the possession of a very expensive paperweight.
To remove HardSPL, you will just need to follow these simple instructions:
1. Download SoftSPL by the-equinoxe.
2. Download the IPL/SPL based on your device and carrier(attached below)
3. Extract SoftSPL to its own folder and then extract the nk.nbf file from the correct IPL/SPL to the SoftSPL folder.
4. Run Start-sSPL.exe and follow the simple directions. It is almost fully automated(your screen will turn white during the flashing process and it will appear to have crashed. This is normal so just proceed like normal)
5. HardSPL should now be removed if everything worked properly. Depending on your device and Carrier, download the appropriate Rom for your device:
T-Mobile MDA Official WM5 Rom
AT&T 8125 Official WM5 Rom
Vodafone Qtek 9100 Official WM5 Rom
Orange SPV M3000 Official WM5 Rom
O2 XDA Mini S Official WM5 Rom
6. Flash the Rom you just downloaded. There you have it. You have successfully removed HardSPL and reverted back to your carrier's latest rom and restored the CID lock.
Please be aware, I take NO responsibility if someone were to use the files provided in this tutorial incorrectly and damage their phone.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Credits go to the-equinoxe for developing SoftSPL and making this possible.
Nice tutorial.
I have linked the Hard SPL thread to your topic.

Hum... just a quick question:
I own a Qtek 9100 from Vodafone here in Portugal... if I would flash those G4 IPL/SPL, wouldn't that mess up my IPL/SPL country ID?
Also, it would make it impossible to flash an Vodafone PT official update (they never released one or I would flash it but anyway...), right?
Is there anyway of getting the IPL/SPL from another Wizard that hasn't been CID Unlocked and dump it so that I would give it to you, so that we can start a database of CID Locked G4 IPL/SPL's, just in case someone needs to send it back to factory for repairing?
Guess it was a lot of questions

Thanks.. I sent my imei + number to you.. Now I can finally revert back to the original rom and sell!

Actually, you can use ANY G4 IPL/SPL pack, and then reflash to your original carriers ROM.
Just put it into bootloader, kill wcescomm.exe, and flash.
EDIT: Sorted
Thank you for this. I just bricked my Wizard and fixed it. This post was very helpful.
