Hi All
I have a G4 which I think is CID locked.
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.0001
I have managed to get a number of different WM6 ROMs in
and 'sort-of' working. The reason for the upgrade is to get A2DP
working with my nice Motorola S9's. All of the WM6 ROMs give
me A2DP, however 'Contacts' does not work on any of them.
The Contacts screen flashes up for a moment then closes.
I have tried Titan V2.0, TNT 4.0 and SeeNoEvil ROMs
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try install contact manager iphone v 0.11 . The built-in manager is crap. Really
Hi
I got Pocket CM 0.7 and that does the same thing.
Thanks
It is known that restoring WM5 contact database to WM6 device does not work. You should use a backup program that does not backup the contacts database directly, or to backup with ActiveSync+Outlook.
Hi
Thanks for the reply
I am not trying to restore my contact list, I am trying to launch
'contacts'.
I have gone to \Windows and 'tapped' on addrbook.exe and
that does the same thing. The 'contacts' screen pops up for
a moment, then shuts down again, as though looking for a
.dll that isn't there. 'Calander' and 'tasks' work fine so I am
sure 'poutlook.exe' is working, it's just 'contacts' that doesn't
work.
Does any "super-softie" know what files addrbook.exe needs to
open/touch in order to run?

Hi.
I had the same problem as yours.
I am also using a 2.21.0001 G4 CID locked.
Also the Windows Live Messager only flashed but not really running. The way to solve this is very simple.
Just do a hard reset. After that you will be able to use both msn and contacts.
You are welcome
I have about the same wizard as you.
I tried to cid unlock it but i still get the same spl and not the olipro one.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Hi!
long time viewer first time poster.
I have G4 CID LOCKED Cingular 8125 with mfrazzz's Crossbow Reloaded 1.7.1 I have wizard love Rom as Base.
I really tried hard to update (I guess it is really a downgrade) my original Radio from 02.25.11 to 2.19.11 but no matter what I do, it failed.
I tried with every romupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe i could find but I get the same result everytime.
ON PC: I get 260 Error (tried in two machines same error message)
and
On my Wizard: stuck in this 3 colored screen. I see 3 color screen with "RUU" in right upper corner and "USB" on left bottom with IPL/SPL version showing in red If i press reset button, it will boot back to mobile windows fine.
Can anybody help me?
My rest device info:
ROM Version: 2.18.0.0 WWE
ROM date:2/14/06
IPL/SPL: 2.25.0001
GSM:02.25.11
Protocol version? 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version: faria V5.0
My Downgrade
All I did was use the rom upgrade utility from the "wizard love rom" (the one that is in Italian) and the T-mobile radio rom listed in the Wiki.
Worked like a charm!
thanks for the reply..
but of course i tried that already.
i think error 260 is communication related issue. PC communicate perfectly with ActiveSync.. but when it reboot for the flashing to occur,it just get stucked as if pc is not communicating with the wizard.
is downgrade to 2.19.11 really worthy?

Is your device actually booting up? If so, just download one of the radio ONLY roms. It won't matter whether you have a CID locked phone or not and the radio ONLY rom will not touch the IPL/SPL.
Having said that, is there a reason why you want to downgrade to 2.19? Are you having missed calls issues?
Hi titus666,
I am having the same ROM and missed call issues too.Even when i am on a full coverage area my wizard signals seems to dropping,coming back,dropping ....
What could be the probalem .Any recommended Radio ROMS's.
Probably you read this already

A little bit off regarding your initial post but here´s good feedback on how both radios behave.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312834
I've had some problems as well.
I used the tool that came in the download to downgrade to 2.19 (I am having missed calls problem) and it won't.
I'm using a Windows Vista and already did the whole thing to update drivers with the one given on the forum over here, yet, everytime I run the thing it crashes and then I have to go through it all over again.
Its like the driver just doesn't work anymore, even though I have tried "re-updating" it to the one that I downloaded here, unlike the real Roms this one just won't go throguh and wait for the 3 colored screen to come up, just freezes before.

Don't know for sure that it will help, but when you want to connect to your PC in USB mode (bootloader) you should first disable "Allow USB CONNECTION" in the conections settingpanel of Active Sync.
thanks i'll give it a try

For the WM6, try Gullum V6 Touch...
Now for the contacts problem - flash WM5 back, restore your contacts and back up them with PIM backup 2.5 (use search you will find it in the forum somewhere).After reflashing the WM6 you will be able to restore them again. The other option is to use Outlook to synchronize.

It's beter NOT to use any backup software when you migrate from WM5 to WM6 or the other way around. Sync first with your desktop ans sync back after upgrading. The standard location are not the same, so it is messy when you replace the files to their original positions.
Hi,
I installed different WM6 versions on the weekend. I also tried the new way out (HardSPL). It was a little adventure to install it – but finally I did it and I was able to install all new ROMs.
But I’ve got a new problem. I am loosing all SMS after a softreset (sent and received messages). My call history or my e-mails are still there. I installed several ROMs, but it is always the same. There is still no different between wm5 and wm6. After a softreset, every SMS is lost.
1. Does anybody have an idea to fix that problem?
2. May the problem has an other reason than installing new roms?
3. Please Excuse my English

hihi
1. which rom you are using?
2. looking straight to that thread, bugs are always debugged in the same thread.
3. advise you that there are many sms backup cabs, please choose one for your convinience,
4. and you may try the maillAccountrepair.exe , to see if your messages are recoverable or not.
Good Luck.
There are many senior members here that are always ready to assist, please be more
specific in explaining your situations.
Enjoy this forum.
Thx for answer
1 & 2: It happens on every Rom I tried. Coffie Rom, Shadow TE & VE, Touch_X. It also happen with the original wm5 rom.
3: Do I really need a backup program for my sms when I want to switch of the Prophet for the night???
4. Actually, my mail account has no problems. All mails are still in there folder after restart. I will try this program tonight.
Bye

Please don't mind that here comes more words,
1. before soft-reset, try to close " Messaging " properly ( it may still running at the background) , just to confirm itself to save its settings.,
2. I am currently using the Shadow, 100% nothing wrong with the SMS messages,
Good luck and enjoy... ^_^
3. if you want to "remind" the system to save its settings, just simply do a system setting
like backlight or what so ever.
4. Please try not to use the bottom pit to make reset with stylus, as it sometimes erase you recent settings.. ( use WkTASK to reboot is not a bad choice )
Good luck.
Its wierd that you expirence this with the original WM5 rom.. Allthough i have some similar problem.. Iam now using WM5 again, due to my PDA needs to 100% stable for the time beeing..
I got a few new sms' and then the PDA hang so i couldn't turn it out from standby.. when i soft resettet the new sms' where gone.
But you loose all your sms' right? not only newly recieved but all?
I tried a bit with other roms and got some funny results.
I’ve installed coffie ger again. When I now switch of the ppc by pressing the power butten, all message a still save. After switch on, every message is where they have to by.
If I made an softreset by using the stylus, I will lose all SMS that I’ve got or created after my last “shutdown”.
By the way, I executed the HardSPL. 2.G4.4PDA was written on the bootscreen. After installing the original wm5 the SPL changed to 2.15.0001. So I installed the coffie rom via softSPL. But another question is - is it so easy to change back to the original SPL?
Thx a lot

You did that by installing the WM5 ROM. If you mean the SPL you had before you changed it with hardSPL: that one is gone, it is overwritten. But if you find an official (WM5) ROM with the same SPL version, just flash that one.
If you mean that you want the original SPL back after using SoftSPL, it is there all time. SoftSPL is a one-time-only bypass, it doesn't change anything permanently.
Hello all,
I Eb'd an HTC wizard (cingular 8125) running Wizard Love/NBD WM 6.
On the load screen I get:
AKU 2.3;
IPL and SPL:2.25.0001;
radio:2.25.11;
rom: 6.0.0.0.
My carrier is Tmobile.
Question 1: If my phone has this newer ROM and it takes calls on the Tmobile network it has been CID unlocked and SIM unlocked...right?
I wanna update my rom and think that I am competent enough to do so but there is alot to learn and this is not my full time gig...right.
Question 2: So, if I am correct in Q1 I should be able to flash roms right?
However when I attempt to do so the RUU gives me [error 224]. Active sync and or WMDC says its connected. (I installed the AS drivers in WMDC)
Question 3: Where do I go from here?
Question 4: The wi-fi is currently not working will a new rom potentially clear this up?
Thanks in advance for the time and advice..
grazie
hmmmm,
Well,did you updated to NBD wm6 yourself ? and how did you updated ? which method you adopted ? SoftSPL or HardSPL ?
You say its SIM unlocked as it takes calls on the Tmobile network .Did you SIM unlocked with lokiwiz03a ?
yes ! a G4 can be SIM unlocked but it can not be CID unlocked,however,it can be upgraded to wm6 rom,but with method either 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL'.With your present ipl/spl 2.25.0001 and you say its NBD wm6 running,then it must have been upgraded through 'SoftSPL' method,as it uses patched ipl/spl and Cid unlocks the phone temporarily,but it never permanently CID unlocks the phone.But with 'HardSPL' ,it changes the ipl/spl to a patched ipl 2.21.0001 and spl 2.21 olip.So everytime you want to upgrade,you'll have to upgrade using 'SoftSPL' method.
could you elaborate a little more about this.
Cheers!
Hey thanks for the correspondence zabardast_1, I have been getting frustrated and I have many times contemplated going for the brick or bust approach here.
So, I have done none of the updating on this rig. I rec'd it and I wanted it primarily for wifi however I can't get the wifi card/ (sdiowlan I believe) to even recognize an AP (... I posted in the networking forum but no response.) Thus my own reasoning leads me to believe I should start from scratch with a new rom unless you know of something else.
So, I am not the most savvy and thought that all of the info I had led to SIM and CID unlocked. I just read otherwise last night and in your reply. The info I have provided is accurate the IPL, SPL, radio, although I don't know which NBD release it is; just says 6.0.0.0 and release date: 2/2/07.
I am trying to get the new rom on the my device however and I would've probably already bricked it if I could get an RUU to communicate with my wiz. I always get [Error 224] when I run it and my phone is connected through active sync. I am running vista but have installed the AS drivers for WMDC. I also tried it at work the other day with XP same situ. I then tried flashing from the bootloader screen with an NBD, Wizard Love ( w/ Italian installer?), and T-mob (226102_22610105_022511). The only one that says it will update is the Tmob ROM, however I got cold feet at the update button and canceled.
Other funny stuff I have observed that may or may not be related to the problems I am having are:
Can't install cab files ie (enable rapi or Cert SPCS) and Wiz Sys Tools couldn't read my CID block and hard_SPL G4 gives me REXX error ( SPL_Version has no value).
So, any wizdom you or anybody can drop is much appreciated and needed at this point.
Whew...
Listen carefully. G4 Wizard cannot be CID-unlocked without paying money. (And yes, you are using a G4).
What you need now is to Flash your original stock carrier ROM (Or wizard love) to get your OS back. Then either use SoftSPL or install HardSPL and flash WM6 ROM.
Thanks Starkwong,
I will try installing wizard love tomorrow at work and if that don't work I will attempt a Cing ROM (will all of these work or do I need to mind my G3's and G4's for these???)
Grazie
So, It worked using Wizard Love at work and out of the bootloader window. Now I need to:
1.) Get wifi working.
2.) Get a newer ROM
I put a post up in the networking thread, I am a tool so far as these devices are concerned so be easy on me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372811
So do I get the wifi issue resolved before I reflash???
Thx again
I don't know what you mean by "wifi not working".
Maybe it is the wifi AP doesn't allow 11Mbps (802.11b) connections?
However, going to any of the WM6 ROMs should already set the registry to allow Wizard connects to G-Only APs. Just use HardSPL/SoftSPL and flash a WM6 and you will see.
OK so "wifi not working" may indeed be a general statement...
What I mean to say is that I am not able to connect to any wireless networks for internet not home (Linksys WRT 54G v5 with ddwrt firmware) or school (university wide) or my city's wifi network. It won't even detect them at least none that Ive seen since I've rec'd this phone. So, that is what I meant by the ambiguous statement.
So, being as your last post was a success I will try as you say and post the results tomorrow. Thanks again starkwong!!!
1 quick thing however, to be sure, I can now try the hard spl or soft spl method of tricking my phone to run an upgrade to WM6?
Still not able to get wifi APs????
OK although I have been successful at reinstalling the Mfg ROM and then Hard SPL'ing my wizard thanks to ya'll I still am unable to connect to a wireless network (see one even). I have the Olip on my SPL and I installed a TNT version of WM6 and I am still at work (drunk but still here). Anyway I can't see my wireless AP and I am beginning to think its a hardware issue if thats possible, i dunno the dynamics of this system maybe thats why it was for sale. In any event as usual I am willing to try what ever you guys throw at me as you're my only hope obi wan. Alright Im gonna go home for the night and try getting on to my home network.
Thanks again for all the help guys.
Is your device a original one from phone operator? I suspect your device is a China Dopod 838 with replaced casing, because the China version has the wifi hardware removed, so wifi can't be started even if an English ROM is used.
Looks to be authentic 8125
Starkwong, the Cingular logo and the 8125 model # are on the phone case where they have been when I've seen them before in pics. Therfore, I dunno I guess it looks like every other 8125 I've seen. Can I check the SN, IME or anything to be sure?
Thanks Again!!!
Starkwong,
I am getting all the options for wifi on my phone the LHS LED flashes green when I enable it and alternates blue green when BT is enabled. So, could it still be that its a dupod? I dunno but I am going home for the night... Thanks for your help. I will try connecting to my home network when I get there.
Hi guys I need some help. I have a Cingular HTC 8125, I was trying to upgrade the rom on it to a new WM6 and here is what happened.
I have been researching the topic for about 3 weeks.
Its a G4 Device being upgraded with VISTA w/ Moded drivers for Ative SYNC
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
I used the shell tool to install one of the roms waited about 2 hrs and finally noticed that the window was NOT RESPONDING so I had to shut down and start over. The phone got to the second screen but froze there now showing
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811
On the Cingualr Background, I can still enter the Bootloader screen but nothing else?
Nothing else happens I cant connect the phone to the PC to do anything else.
Is it bricked or not is my question and what can I do to flash OEM rom or something that will work.
I tried OEM Cingular rom but I get ERROR 260 No connection to the phone?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Bricked phone
You should had firstly either hardspl or soft spl the phone b4 trying to load any rom
It's not bricked as long as you can see the RGB screen (Colors red, green and blue)showing the same IPL/SPL such as yours; IPL: 2.25.0001 and SPL: 2.25.0001. AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR DEVICE CAUSE ITS G4 MEANING YOU CAN NOT JUST INTALL/FLASH ROM. Make sure that the Rom you flash not contain G3 IPL and SPL which is 2.xx.001. If so, then you will bricked your device.
Desiji is right, you should install rom with softSPL or hardSPL.
Try to flash the Official Cingular Rom or Wizard Love Rom. If success, then you can install other Rom using what desiji said. Just make sure that its a G4 safe rom. And another thing, try to charge battery using wallcharger not in the device. U need enough battery to perform rom flashing.
Hope this help revive your Wizard.
esdee007
WOW !
grrrrr8,you are a quick learner
CateraMV6
Yeah ! I certainly agree with esdee007 and desiji
Thanks
Hey guys thanks, thats what I thought but I think my main problem is the VISTA I need to get a hold of XP and try all that because the Vista is having issues with connecting to the phone at the moment, I can not get it to show it as a device. It does make a beep noise when you connect/disconnect it so its doing something but Vista is just too much of a pain in the rear to deal with.
Its a good news that its not bicked so all hope is not lost.
What is the opinion on Tmobile WING!? any reviews should I get that phone instead?
BTW where do I find these G4 Safe ROMS? and how do I tell if they have the IPL/SPL in them? Do I need to hack them to tell?
And is Soft or Hard recommended?
YUP ! sure vista is still not compatible for flashing,WinXP is highly recommended and trouble free.
All official stock roms are safe to flash both the devices G3 or G4,secondly,all the latest custom build wm6 or wm6.1 are safe for both the devices,as they don't include any IPL/SPL in them.
If you plan to flash many roms,than 'HardSPL' is recommended,coz its done only once and the device remains semi_Cid unlock untill you personally remove HardSPL,but with SoftSPL,its done everytime you want to flash a new rom,choice is all yours,how you want to go about it.
