guys,
any ideas why i cannot flash any builds other than RUU_Prodigy_3821_382124_026911_TMO_HR_WWE_Ship and Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242 onto my CID unlocked G4?
the above 2 builds are packaged as .exe not the romupdate_utility when i try to flash with the rom update utility the handset powers off and back on in boot loader then the utility says unable to detect the device.
flashing in bootloader mode doesn't work either.
I'M USING VISTA BUT I'VE FOLLOWED THE VISTA FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS.
i've tried to use shell tool and it occasionaly seems to work but i either get to stuck in boot loader or the build doesn't seem to be fully installed (missing links or dodgy icons)
any help appreciated
I've seen a cooked rom that had two update utility files, one for each windows version (maybe TNT3.0 ). My advise would be for you to get that utility and use it any time you want to flasha device, ie, make a folder with all the upgrade files in it, including the mentioned one

After shelltool, you may need to hard reset for 2 or 3 times to get the OS running without problem.
Are you sure your G4 is unlocked? Did you paid for imei-check to unlock it or just use lokiwiz/aWizard to unlock? Unless you paid for that, otherwise G4 cannot be unlocked.

Just got a X01HT after Dec, version is 1.09. After reading all these threads, is it possible to use "DownGrade_SPL.rar" downgrade to 1.04 as I know sim unlock is still not available yet, just want to use chinese rom instead..........
Thks,
hi there,
please reaqd the wiki and the sticky threads on this board, the solutions ar eposted there.

Thks, just tried and it successfully downgrade to 1.04......so now I can flash the chinese rom or i need to make it super CID before that??
I have the same case as yours. I tried to flash the rom to HK version but failed, so I installed cestar instead

1.04 has a bug. even if you get an error message when you try to burn a rom from another company, do nothing with your device and run the same update again on your pc. you can update the rom this time.

Hello mj13,I looked around the posts and I could not find any solutions to downgrade my X01HT shipped after Dec from 1.09 to 1.04.Would you please tell me where did you find it or how to finish it?
And ,since downgraded to 1.04 ,does that mean I can unlock my X01HTto use another SIM card using the v2a version unlocker?
Thank you vey much.

Hi,pof!Thank you very much for answering my question on the 1.09 to 1.04 topic.But I still got some questions.In the link you gave me it says I can not downgrade my bootloader unless I go to the IMEI something website and pay some dollars.Is that the only way to downgrade my bootloader?
And you told me even if I downgraded my bootloader,I still can not unlock my phone.That means,if I downgraded,I can burn other language rom (like English)but I can not use other company's SIM card.Am I right?
Sorry to bother you.Hava a good day!

Yes, because softbank 1.14 radio doesn't allow to be upgraded even if you flash another ROM this radio will be kept in your device.
Ok so I have a little problem with the whole 1.09 -> 1.04 thing.
I have been searching for a couple days or so and gathering some information about it, but I don't think that anyone has had my problem yet. I have a pre-Dec. x01ht, and I stupidly upgraded to 1.09 (don't ask why; I'm still kicking myself). So after trying to downgrade with a couple different versions of the 1.04 provided here with no avail, I found the downgrade_spl file that has been floating around. Each time I keep getting the same problems.
When I active sync with my computer and start the downgrade (upgrade?) process i get past the first preliminary check with the phone and when it jumps to the second check, the phone resets into the tri-color screen for about half a second, and then a white upgrade looking screen. after that the phone checks itself and everything says "ok", but it never resyncs with the computer. The computer stays on the screen that would show a progress bar, but after it hangs there it gets an error screen. i also tried doing everything from the boot mode (the tri-color menu), and that also gets an error. when i try from the boot mode, the both of the progress bars start, but before either go anywhere they both the computer screen comes up with an error in the program. it asks me if i want to recover or view the file, and recover also doesnt work.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you go about solving this dillema?
Does anyone experience the same difficulties with the new spl 2.03 like I do?
- I can't use the 'old' upgrade tools anymore. I keep getting an error 260 which is very frustrating as the new upgrade program does actually work, but gives me a CID error. Yep I don't have SuperCID.
- Any custom build rom with all Hermes rom cookers I tried will give me an 'image is corrupt' error when I use the new upgrade tools.
So it seems to me the spl password algorythm has been changed and the hashcalculation for the rom too
Now I'm left to debugging the new upgrade, in which I'm not to good at. Why am I doing this? I broke my Hermes during the upgrade and for warranty I really like to have the origal splash screens showing. Even updating the splash is't possible now. The SD method doesn't work either, apperently (and luckily for not bricking purposes) the bootloader seems to check that image too.
Any help is welcome in this.
Cheers, M

You need to use the new RUU since SPL-1.11. Both old and new RUU are packaged in CustomRUU, which will unpack either one or other depending on the SPL version you have.

You need a patched SPL in order to flash unsigned code. All custom builds are not properly signed with a valid HTC certificate.

Before the password was dynamic, algorithm explained in the wiki. In SPL versions 1.11 or newer the password is always: BsaD5SeoA
Don't know what you mean by "hashcalculation"... the CRC algorithm is still the same, in all bootloader versions.

With a non-patched SPL you won't be able to flash anything that is not signed.
If your CID is ok (info 2 bootloader command shows a valid CID), you can unbrick it by flashing a signed (shipped / official) rom matching your device's CID.
If your CID/radio is br0ken (shows "No GSM" when booting), you won't be able to flash anything on it, your only hope is having a KITL enabled OS image.
i have problem i have tmobile vario 2 after trying upgrade the rom to wm6 phone stop on 17% and now is stock on the bootloader mode spl 2.03 and i can to anything i try flashing with difrend wersion of the software and nothing.help
@pof: thanks for your instant reply and pointing me to my black-outs. The password does work, but still the lnbs command gives me back: invalid command. Maybe that's because the device isn't unlocked. Just like to flash the spl 1.01MFG so I can at least try to work my way out of the bricked situation. Since KITL isn't enabled there isn't much hope, I know. I really tried all the wiki solutions.
Guess there are only two options left: repair centre and IMEI-check for JTAG flash.
Anyone knowing an other alternative, pls let me know
Cheers,

same problem here.. need 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.

do i have 2 go thru the entire unlock process again or just use the shell tool with the new rom
ok
u hav 2 go thru the unlocking CID process again & everytime u want 2 reflash
Cingular 8125 G4
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.

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.
After flashing my locked T-mob vario dutch (for the 20st time) it now is bricked.
I tried to flash the Fun_Key_rom.
Hermes is stuck on the HTC logo 1pl-1.01 and SPL-2.03 not Super CID. (because of the warranty). I followed the thread about unbricking, but untill now no result.
I can flash it with Ruu.exe (and ruuwrapper.exe) the option 2.02/2.10 works for me untill 1% and then I get a invallid vendor ID.
I read the thread over and over again, but didn't seem to get how to unbrick it. Do I need to have a special rom? or other software?
no you need to flash Hard SPL on your phone right now!!! you can always unflash the HardSPL at a later date but you where just asking for a brick by not flashing HardSPL in the first place!

Had no problems for all those times..untill now I know it was stupid.
Trying to flash Hard SPL I got a 260 update error on the HardSPL v7. I also tried it with another upgrader and got an 270 error. It installed until 100% but no result.

Yes, you need to use CustomRUU to avoid the invalid vendor ID. It bypasses the CID check. That is why it works, even though you are not superCID.
Regarding the 260 error, try a couple things.
If you can, try SD flashing.
If you cannot do SD method, try using "manual bootloader" method:
- Put phone in bootloader mode
- NOW attach to USB lead
- Start CustomRUU
If that does not work, try taking the battery out for a while (5 minutes) and then try again.

It may be the RUUWrapper you have, but you can get it at THIS THREAD You may already have used it though, on the one that did not give you the invalid vendor error. Use it with the nbh file. If you only have an exe, then you can use winrar to take it apart into 2 files - the ruu file (the updater) and the nbh (the ROM itself). Once you are using the right CustomRUU, try the things I mentioned in my previous post.
Other things to be sure of...
If you are using Vista, check with MrVanx guides to see what you need to do.
You must have...
ActiveSync 4.5
.NET framework 2 or higher
Thanks for ur help. Really appr. it.
When I use the CustomRuu on any nbh file I'll get the Update error (260).
If I use the same nbh file on the RUU.exe file and I choose the 2.02/2.10 option it flashes my mobile till 1%. Then I get error 274 Invalid Vendor ID.
I see on the forum a lot of people bricked there Tytn on SPL 2.03.
Is Mr. Olipro having an solution?
Have you tried these things...

You are in a quite bad situation. I am not well aware about all the new ways to backup bricked hermes; but as far as I know the only remaining possibility for you is to flash your device using the default flasher AND a rom matching your CID.
Hopefully tmobile dutch released an updated WM5 release for your phone. You should be able to flash it, setup hardspl, and flash anything you want; but in a safe way this time.
There is maybe a way to tweak the CID of cooked ROM, but don't know anything about it (and there will certainly be signing issues).
In order to get your CID and see if something matching it is available at the wiki read the wiki about mtty (as far as I remember it is something like "type 2").

All,
I downloaded the original Cingular/ATT Rom, just in case, and bought Sprite and backed up my settings. I downloaded SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe and ran it (from my PC, is this correct?). SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe seemed to run okay, and gave me the message "SDA Successfully unlocked, Please Reboot SDA Now!". I rebooted my phone and did not notice a change (I assume I should?) I ran the Rom update for WM6.1 Standard, which opened up a DOS-looking box that stayed there forever and did not indicate it was doing anything. After just over an hour I disconnected my phone and rebooted it, no change.
My questions:
1) Do I run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe from my PC or from the WM phone itself?
2) Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?
3) What does CID Unlock do, and do I need it?
Just to review, I have a Cingular 3125 with WM5, and I want to go to WM6.1 Standard.
Please help! Thanks!

You were supposed to run Jump SPL on your phone which puts it into a special bootloader then run the update utility should run correctly. I personally prefer the MicroSD flash method myself.

I know that SPL files were copied to my phone automatically when I ran Rom updater, but I don't think it ever launched. I am really confused about the CID unlock. I read one post where it says I have to do this, and another that says for Cingular Roms you don't need to.
Also, you mention the MicroSD flash method - is there a post here that explains how to do that? I would not mind trying it if you think it works better. Please help!

If i dont say it someone else will. Please use the search function.
If the utility didnt automatically launch the Jump Spl program then navigate to the root of your phone using file explorer start it manually from your phone and it will put the phone into bootloader then try running the utility again. Thats how i had to do it with my phone

Okay, that's fair, thanks. Can I get an answer on one more thing? I did look in the forums, in the Wiki ,etc. on this - I am still confused on what CID unlock is. I really don't want to brick my phone. When this worked for you, was this on a Cingular 3125? Did you have to CID unlock?

What you are talking about permenantly CID unlocks the phone which allows you to flash any rom. Instead of being stuck with carrier specific roms. What the JUMP SPL does is loads a specially modified bootloader that temporarily fakes the Update Utility into thinking your phone is CID unlocked that way you can flash any rom without going through that long complicated process in making it permenantly CID unlocked. I have a 3125 myself and flashes all the roms in this forum fine with the Jumps SPL Bootloader method.
