Hi, please help me! my wizard i updated to a wm6 rom, farias, but i decided to put the offical tmobUK rom on it...however once i tried my pc froze up and i had to reboot, the phone now sticks on the ipl splash screen, i can get the bootloader up, but i cant get the love rom to install while in bootloader, nor any other rom. please help me!
it is a G4 locked wizard with:
IPL: 2.21
SPL: 2.21
GSM: 02.19.11
OS 1.6.2.4
help would be most appreciated!
thanks
REtarded question: Do you have your storage card in while you are trying to flash?
ummmmmm...thinks...i believe i stupidly did this time, i didnt before tho... but its not in at the moment while i am trying to flash from bootloader
Take it out and try flashing again
yeah i have taken it out, and it says when i try to install the love rom "strumento di aggiornamento non valido" which im guessing is upgrade device not valid...
right would i be correct in saying that it would be possible to get it to work again if i could mix and match roms of the same ipl/spl to get it to boot again? if yes then any ideas what roms?
i am getting so confused...i swear my wizard was a g4, but just realised if its 2.21 then surely its g3...:S but i swear i remember looking at it before i flash farias wm6 rom and as i had to use shelltool as thats the only way it work i believed it was g4...:S
G4's end in 0001 .. so if ur phone was a g4 it would say 2.21.0001 ..
but would the ipl/spl not have been changed through any flashing or anything then?
it is extremely hard to brick a G3.. what I would do is try flashing it back to an official carrier rom.
ive tried installing RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe but it says "error 296 upgrade only the nbf file cannot be used for your pda phone. please get newer NBF file"
stupid...yeah somehow i believed iot was a g4 when i flashed it using shelltool as i couldnt get farias wm6 on normally, but guessing thats because it wasnt CID unlocked, so now i installed button 1.05 and unlocked my G3 (lol) and gonna install ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship.exe so should take me back to an official ship from t mob running wm5 which i want atm...then as im writing this i realise this rom is US i believe...dammit! ill find my original rom that was on it or something as any g3 rom should work now i believe. thanks for your help

Well I being stupid person that I was loaded Faria's rom without unlocking my G4 it got to 99% and errored saying update error and such. So i did some research finding out that I had to unlock first, now after reaidng some tutorials I see things about uploading the EnableRapi to my 8125 but problem is when I turn it on it only has the rainbow colors I can't get in to the phone and I can't use it..
Could anyone please help me and guide me or paste me a thread on how I can fix this. I've been researching for hours and haven't gotten anywhere. If anyone can please help me itll be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
All you have to do is put your phone in bootloader mode then flash wizard love or the rom that your device was shipped with.
You havent told us what wm5 rom your device originally had on it so we cant help you there but Wizard Love can be found here and here.

All seems to be working back to normal question though using the shelltools it doesn't display all the information about the phone when I press Get Info, i have a 2.x.0001 but when I press get info it wont show the info on CID or the option below it, but itll allow me to Extract OS, is that okay? or do if I flash it, it won't work?

Unless the person who converted the 80040000-OS.nb to nk.nbf filled in those fields then they will be blank. Dont worry about these details. Flash away.
Good Luck
G4 help
so i tried flashing it I thought it was successful I did the hard reset after I ran the ShellTools. Was I supposed to do anything after the hardreset? Because I though then maybe I can go on to trying Faria's stuff but when I did got to 99% and 302 error occured so now im flashing back to old ROM, any hints? tips? or programs to make the G4 unlocking easier? any or maybe any roms out there you know of that won't mess with the SPL/IPL that I can just load the rom and use it?
Thanks

So you tried to flash Faria's rom to a CID locked G4 then when that didnt work you used shelltool. Following this you tried to flash Faria's rom to your still CID locked G4 and it didnt work again?
I'm a bit confused so I'll start at the beginning again. If you do in fact own a G4 CID locked device then the only way that you can upgrade your OS is to use shelltool, unless you want to pay imei-check to unlock it. Using the RUU method to update a CID locked G4 will produce an error and not finish flashing or it will complete the flashing process but your OS will not have changed.
Shelltool doesnt unlock your device, it will still be CID locked after shelltool completes. Shelltool only updates OS so the chance of bricking your device is minimal. Hope this helps.
Alright, I have a cid/sim locked tmobile MDA G4. I originally used the soft spl to install the latest TNT. I installed it and everything was working great and then I noticed the Hard SPL. I went and installed that... Problem is that now that I put that on there anytime I try to flash back to one of the base roms like the tmobile or wizard love it gives me a crazy error. It tells me error 300, not supported or something to that effect. Any ideas? I want to get a clean rom before I try to go to anything else when a newer version comes out...

You shouldn't try to update ROM's with IPL/SPL after HARD SPL.
Reverting to a "clean ROM" is not necessary because old one will be erased during upgrade.
If you want to update IPL/SPL for G4 after hard SPL, do as following:
-disassemble ROM with IPL/SPL of your liking
Usage: typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
-reassemble the ROM or IPL/SPL with NKnbftool.
Make shure you only use G4 IPL/SPL for your G4, those are the IPL_2 and SPL_2 files created by typho5.exe.
-copy the nk.nbf you just created to SOFT SPL
-start Soft SPL and flash the IPL/SPL.
You will lose the hardSPL though!
tupho5.exe
could someone post a link for typho5.exe?
use WST for the same purpose as you don't need command line instructions.
If you're still interested in typho5.exe then install WST and look for it in the program's folder...
I just do hard SPL too and i dun know which rom excluded IPL/SPL.Could anyone recomend me a few roms of WM 6.0 touchflow?

Why? Do you have trouble reading? It's all explained in each release thread on the first 3/4 posts...
It's patched SPL 2.20
1. Run SSPL (SoftSPL) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347348
2. Flash HardSPL for your DOC
Yes, really was not hard to patch.. glad it worked))) so, this disables CID and some other checks, so you can flash any custom rom
i have hard SPL/IPL 3.08 will ir work?
newbe here.
What does device root mean?
is it my prophet?
is root windows directory
Looks promissing.
So, as I understand, you don't have to "downgrade" your firmware everytime you want to try a new ROM?
This looks great.
You made our life much easier I think this should be a Sticky
for those of you who dosen't really know what this does.
follow the procedure (soft SPL then hard SPL) and you would never ever need any extra steps before upgrading to wm6.
EDIT: Okay I made it easier. I made a batch file to do the work. (Soft SPL then Hard SPL)
just run the Upgrade_SPL.bat from your PC. It will do the Soft and Hard SPL
Thanks Prislav for this great work
Test to patch a G4 prophet : ok
IPL and SPL version seem differents
IPL : 2.10.00
SPL : 2.G4.4PDA
Test to flash my proper ROM : ok for the moment.
Whaô, WM6 update with progress bar, Fantastic.
Reflexion :
Rom update launched from WindowsMobile synchronised with ActiveSync with patched RUU for Wizard.
My Prophet seems to be reconized by the RUU like a Wizard but upgrade work.
Finally :
Perfect job Prislav it work like a charm, our Prophet are now like other recents HTC devices. It rock : only 10minutes to flash a ROM with special SplashScreen
Now :
Flash just finished, all is ok Prislav, you are the BOSS
Question :
Do a patched RUU for Vista exist ?
Perfect for G4 Prophet...
Wooo! Done!
WOW!
I just tried this, and it's amazing! I tried flashing my Original ROM and it worked. Even the SPL was updated. The only thing that it didn't change was IPL. If you broke your phone and have warranty, this is THE easiest way to get the Vendor ROM back. I would even venture to say this is the best tool yet for Flash-a-holics. Thank you so much!
Sounds great, but what about warranty?
Do we lose it if we change hard spl?
worth to try....
This is really an evolution (or is it revolution? ).
lol this removed my spl 3.08,really amazing tool,thanks prislav,big thanks.
IS HardSPL necessary if CID Unlocked ???
I CID unlocked my G4 M600 with the known paid service.
So do i need to HardSPL my phone and why???
Please somebody explain...
as i think,if you have hardspl,you will never be able to brick your phone.correct me if i was wrong.
Can a G4 be bricked? I was under the impression that the G4 was unbrickable. All the bricks I've ever heard of were G3 devices. I mean one can get stuck at bootloader and the like, but I've always got my phone back. Even had a Wizard ROM on there, and even that didn't brick it (although that time I thought it was toast!)! Like zeroed said, it will help you get your SPL back if you have that problem, and I think it's just an amazing tool for flashing in general.

Anyone pleaassseee ?????
I just need to be totally shure about this.. If i run this hard spl thingy patch on my G4 prophet i do not need to downgrade to wm5 everytime i want to try a new wm6 rom, if i currently are using a wm6 rom ?
And how do you guys flash a wm6 rom with the RUU utility ? I haven't seen any WM6 rom yet using RUU..
Just a little confused, sorry!
You wont need upgrading to wm5 - i recommend that you never flash full roms to avoid spl reflashing after hard-spl. the best practice will be to use nb2nbf to generate nbfs for your os, splash and gsm separately
Wait a second. Why should we avoid SPL reflashing after HardSPL??? I already flashed back to my original SPL and re-flashed HardSPL without any problem. What is the danger of doing this?
Hi, I have been running Gollum's Prophet Touch VII on my M600 for ages now and fancied a change, I decided to dl varanusvincent's 'my diamind edition 2' and ran the g4 rom update that came with it, my m600 now is sat in the 3 colour bootloader screen with IPL 2.10.0001 and SPL 2.20.0001 and I cant get it to do anything, hard reset just puts it back to the bootloader screen, can ANYONE help me please or have I wrecked it by trying to install a new rom?
thanks
Mike
I've reset it again and it is now stuck on the 'qtek keep the world as one' screen with ipl and spl in the top left corners, the uodate programmes all say that is disconnected if i try and use them any ideas??
have you read how to upgrade it????
You haven't HARDSPL.
READ HERE to recovery your Prophet
I have already read over that entire post before I put this on, didnt want to look an idiot - no luck there then!
I have tried to use the hard spl folder upgrade and it still only gives me the 3 colours bootscreen after a hard reset, step 2 says use bootloader mode and flash pvtemp but I've looked everywhere for pvtemp and cant find it to dl

with SPL information that you said. It said, that your Device is not HARDSPL already.
You have to succesfully HARDSPL your Device first.
And after that you wont face anyproblem again.
Download :
PDVIET Temp
Is your Device CID Lock?
So I dl PDAViet, flash with that, run HARDSPL with my new .nbf in that file and I should be ok? No idea about CID lock, thanks for helping

So you have to Flash your ROM now with PDA Viet Temp first. This will bring your device to WM5 No Vendor.
You have to flash it through bootloader mode, since your device now stuck up.
After that , HARDSPL your Device.
Read better thread from animelover. Here
If your Device is a G3, SPL Information will be changed into 2.G3.4PDA or for a G4 is 2.G4.4PDA
And after your Device HARDSPL ready. Run the Upgrade tool from My ROM. So you wont stuck up again.
It should run.
thats great, im running pdaviet now, read the page about hardspl too so i'll install this, turn on my m600 and run hardspl g4 followed by your rom - thanks!!

I will update the ROM. A small registry failure. Not so important actually.
Just wait .
I am uploading this ROM now.
You can Hardspl your Device first anyway.
Done!!! Hard SPL'd now says 2.g4.4pda on booting! I'll hang on for the new rom to be uploaded, if i want to change roms again to I have to run pda viet or now that I have run hardspl can I just install over the top? sorry for all the q's and thanks for all your help

If you have HARDSPL.
And Your SPL Information changed into 2G4.4PDA .
No need to install PDAViet again.
Just run the installer from the cooker.
I recently flashed my Wizard with TNT WM6 and I am getting all kinds of problems so I am wanting to bring it back to Wizard Love so I can attempt TNT's again and avoid a "bad flash".
My question is, do I need to put the phone in the bootloader (i.e. the 3 colored bars?) or can I flash it with the phone loaded and everything. I am using RUU to flash.
Or do I need to use ShellTool?
If its a G3,then simply hook up the phone with pc and run the RUU,it'll reflash,there's no need to get into Bootloaders (RGB Screen).
But if its a G4,then how did you upgrade first,if through HardSPL,then again just hook up and run the RUU,well,if you used Shelltool,then there's no need to go through again with Shelltool.Get the phone HardSPL once,then you can flash any rom as much as you like
I used shelltool for the first flash, but it kind messed up so I had to redo Wizard Love with the RGB boot loader.
If I remember correctly by "messed up" I think it froze during flashing.
Yes I do have a G4
well do as zabardast_1's has said and flash HardSPL to your g4 wizard and then you can just flash another cooked rom
and added....Don't use ShellTool again even you are using a G4! RUU can be used on G4 directly given that you have installed HardSPL and you are going to flash a custom ROM posted here.
So even though ShellTool kinda messed up, my device is still HardSPL'ed?
To be safe you can flash using Softspl , that is the way i flashed few times althouhg my wizard was hardspl and it was ok. If you have hardspl try using Mun's RUU . Both methods worked fine for me.
Ok, I just re-flashed my G4 with Wizard Love using the RUU that it came with and everything seemed to work fine. Does this mean that my HardSPL was successful? See what I think had happened was I flashed TNT's rom with ShellTool and not RUU after I had HardSPL'ed my device. Could that have had something to do with it?
Thanks for all the help so far, you guys have been very knowledgeable.

Ah! You are mixing up all three methods Shelltool,RUU,HardSPL together,they all are different methods to flash a rom.Shelltool is a different method then RUU(RomUpdateUtility) and HardSPL(Patched IPL/SPL) is altogether a different process to flash and upgrade a G4 device.
Try to read all about these methods for better understanding.
Here, I wud not like to go into details,you can read about these methods in their respective threads.
Flashing wizard_love rom doesn't mean your phone is HardSPL'd ? No,wizard_love rom is a patched rom,it'll flash to any G4 device with original official IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) running on it,but if the phone is HardSPL'd,it flashes patched IPL/SPL,thus tricking it to think its semi-permanent CID unlocked,after this its possible to flash any wm6.1 custom rom.But flashing a wizard_love,it still has its own official IPL/SPL,but you cannot upgrade to any wm6 rom as its not CID unlocked.As a G4 device cannot be CID unlocked like a G3 phone,so KardSPL is applied to make it trick into semi-permanent CID unlock,whereas,its in fact CID locked,but here its possible to upgrade to any wm6 rom,hope you got my point !!!
So,if you want to upgrade to wm6 or flash TNT wm6.1 rom,you have to first apply HardSPL,it'll change the IPL/SPL of the phone,only then you can flash TNT wm6.1 rom
Ok yeah thanks for clearing that up for me I was trying to update my phone with the RUU that came with TNT .20273, but it kept giving me an Error 300 which I am assuming that means its not HardSPL'ed. So from the sounds of it, I would probably like to get my phone HardSPL to I can flash any new roms that come out. I was under the assumption that ShellTool was HardSPL'ing my phone, but I guess not. Before I proceed to the next step, is this the instructions I should be following?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332320
EDIT:
Ok, I went ahead and HardSPL'ed my device. I followed the instructions on that thread and everything seems to be working. I get SoftSPL: something something olipro so I am guessing thats good. I am still having problems when I go to flash TNT. I am trying to use the RUU that is included with TNT, but I keep getting Error 300 (Invalid Update Tool).
ok,download 'Mun's RUU' from the HardSPL thread you just posted above and replace the RUU in this zipfile with RUU in the TNT rom and run this replaced RUU,it'll work and flash the rom
I have everything all set and I am rocking TNT .191213. Thanks for all the help guys!!
