I use G3 ISP update for G4 and after soft reset dont turn on my phone what I do???????
join the club buddy, currently all I know is that we need to remove the chip and use a programer to rewrite it, then seal it back to main board and reburn the ROM. I'm now waiting for someone who can help provide the program for Boot Loader. Maybe you need it too...

READ BEFORE POSTING: How to tell if you have a G4 or G3 device & how to CID-unlock it
The only visible difference between a G3 and a G4 device is when you soft reset your device and looking at the IPL and SPL version numbers that occur during startup.
G3 DEVICE: IPL/SPL: 1.XX or 2.XX or 2.XX.00X (only two zeros)
G4 DEVICE: IPL/SPL: 2.XX.000X(three zeros)
Note, X is representing a number.
So, how do you go about to CID-unlock your device? First, do you really have to? Well, in one word YES!, in order to install most of the custom-made ROMs from this site you have to have a device that is CID-unlocked...
If you have a G3 device the solution is pretty straightforward. just look here...
If you have a G4 device you have to go to imei-check.co.uk and pay £20 in order to get it unlocked. But you can help develop a solution that doen't require you to pay for it. Have a look at this thread.
NOTE: There are several posts that mention this subject, some claim that using the imei-check.co.uk method will not CID-unlock your device but only unlock the SIM. THIS IS NOT CORRECT! Your G4 device will be unlocked after this procedure.
Finally, never, ever, flash your G4 device with a ROM that is intended for a G3 device, make sure that is either made for G4 or doesn't contain a bootloader. If you for some reason you do, you'll have damaged (bricked) your Wizard permanently...

Ok, i know how to tell one from another, but what exactly is the difference? is it some technology breakthrough or what?

As far as I know the brand of the chipset is the only thing that's different. It's also been speculated in that due to the newer bootloader present in the G4's they have updated security measures when upgrading...
Hello,
You know if this unlock work for French FAI, specialy "Ten Téléphonie".
Many thanks, soon...
G4 or G3
ipl 2.18.0001
spl 2.18.0001
G3 or G4
Are you kidding me?!! I clearly states in my first post that if your ipl/spl is 2.XX.0001 it's a G4!!!
Yes but it is also possible to have a g3 with 2.xx.001.
So it's a bit confusing.
Anyway how do i determin wich update utility to use?
look at the number of 0
Ok ok... updated my first post to make it clearer
alright checked!
Thank you

how to see videos on youtube?....... what program/drivers do i have to instal? this is the question!
Mine even has 4 zeros (2.06.0000)... i think it is a G4 also -.-
Ok, sue me if this has been asked before....I could not find it anywhere. On my Wizard the RED Vodafone splash screen covers the IPL/SPL versions on start-up. Anyway to find out in some other way whether it's a G3 or G4?
Finally, never, ever, flash your G4 device with a ROM that is intended for a G3 device, make sure that is either made for G4 or doesn't contain a bootloader. If you for some reason you do, you'll have damaged (bricked) your Wizard permanently...[/QUOTE]
How to know which ROM is intended for G3 or G4 device ?
HELP !
I tried to flash my Cingular 8125 with the latest ROM not realizing that I had a G4 device. Now all I see is the RBG screen and I don't know a way out.
I will appreciate any help to bring my 8125 back to normal.
Thx
Finally found the rom which can work with the G4 device. I think my phone is CID locked but still it worked. The ROM was 'Wizard love '.
It good to have my phone working now !
Thank you guys!

Your device is a true brick. You should have read more before you flashed a bootloader into a G4 device. This is the biggest no no you can do. Your only hope is to get it replaced under warranty but that is likely to not be successful for you.
NEVER NEVER NEVER flash IPL/SPL into a G4 device, the ONLY exception is an approved and released ROM from your carrier that they will support. I believe this is posted all over every sub forum in the wizard forums.

The phone you flashed is dead. There is no help for it. You will have to get it replaced or buy another one. If you overwrite the G4 bootloaders with G3 bootloaders your device is 100% ruined.
Very expensive and hard way to learn the lesson that is preached thread after thread after thread.
Sorry you had to find out this way.
I think this should be made sticky, to show all newbies the value for reading.
@Richi_Ric
Go to imate service center, and they will replace if you will be smart.

Somebody needs to edit the wiki to include the dangers in flashing a G3 rom to a G4 device.....Oh wait its already written in the wiki, and its also written in this forum seven hundred times.
You are a lucky idiot.
name calling isnt helpful, but thanks for posting!

Hello,
Does anybody know if there is a way to update the IMEI of a TyTN (Hermes 200)? Please post or PM me if you know of a way.
Do the standard tools pdocread and pdocwrite work on a TyTN?
Is any kind of CID unlocking necessary before pdocread/pdocwrite can be invoked on a TyTN?
Thanks for your help friends!

No legal solutions so you probably won't get any advice on messing with IMEI's here

Why would you want to update the IMEI of the phone, only reason I can think of is if ya jacked it from someone and don't want it traced back to you...
What I dont understand is .. why would you even WANT to change the IMEI? Unless you have a phone you know is stolen.. or something like that... what gains do you get out of it?
EDIT: Lol.. Sorry broken, I should have read the whole thread ahah
The reason is
I want to change my IMEI to the same as my last phone as I have just upgraded and have some SW which I payed good money for which use the IMEI for the reg file and I do not want to pay again, so if I just change the IMEI to what it was in my last phone they should work fine.
1. Changing IMEI is illegal in every country that actaully has laws on the books.
2. Most WM Developers understand the whole changing devices thing and will actually issue you an new key if you take the time to contact them and explain that you have upgraded your phone because the old one either lacks an new feature you need or (even better) was broken and replaced with the newer device.
As to why else someone would want to change IMEI, there is the whole issue with buying phones from other countries and wanting to use them in a country that requires you prove the purchase but will charge you import taxes on the purchase.

Hi,
got the same problem. Since my phone is still within warranty time Im not sure if I will go all the way to TP. But I got a question to better understand our possible problems:
1. How did you brick it?
2. Did you try the Meta mode recovery?
Thanks!
