Is the cingular official ROM safe to flash on a locked G4 or do I need to extract the ipl/spl from it before flashing?
thanks
If you are sure that is the official ROM for your device, can you didn't need to extract IPL/SPL before flashing (However extracting them should be most safe).

Don't flash T-Mobile 2.26 on a G4.... It contains IPL/SPL and will brick your device!
thank u
thanks for your valuable information my friend.so people are giving me wrong advice.what should i do? how can i get right rom and latest ipl/spl for my imate kjam to make my system clean?maybe from xxx.clubimate.com ?thanks your help my friend.thank u
You should read allot before flashing your device, make sure you know what your doing when flashing the first time. You cannot touch/upgrade IPL/SPL on a G4, but it isn't necessary! You can still flash new roms into it. Start here:

You also tell your G4 is CID-unlocked. Have you payed for it at imei-check? If not.... it's still CID-locked! There's a difference between SIM and CID-lock.
g4 kjam and cid unlock
yes.i paid to imeicheck.co.uk.i am sure my kjam all ready cid unlock.because this is not first to flash my kjam.i flashed before.(orginal kjam rom to faria 3.3 than to wm6 mb edition than to faria wm6 realthing than to x-plore 1.1 and now i am using faria wm5 3.3 4mb page pool)...now i am not sure how clean my kjam is?if ipl/spl update is not necassarly which you sais it's ok no problem.but i have some problem with my phone,i tried almost all task managers,i couldn't get good performance.i am having freezing problem.memory leaking problem etc...i thought maybe i must flash my phone some offical phone,but u said u cant use t.mobile or other...imate offical rom is very old version and useless and too slow..now i dont know what must i do?what should i do?thanks your help my friend.
I see! It is possible to got back to an official rom by recooking the rom without IPL/SPL. Here is explained how to do this:

Well i've just updated my G4 CID_locked mob with official T-mobile rom. Now my G4 have IPL/SPL 3.08.001 bootloader. Is it safe to upgrade with safe wm6 rom ? I guess it will be couse it want overwrite bootloader, but just to be sure i want to get confirmation
New t-mobile rom is: RUU_Prodigy_3821_382124_026911_TMO_HR_WWE_Ship
But unfortunatly it is WM5 rom.
i upgrade my g4 wizard to wm6 (TNT 5.0 Rom)
and its work great.
more performance, and more fast

How on earth did you get that IPL/SPL? Did you CID unlock your G4?
I have a locked 8125 from AT&T, I used the Softspl method to flash the TNT ROM on it. I am wondering if I can use the Softspl method to flash the T-Mobile Radio ROM on it as well?
Please let me know. Thanks

No you can not use the Sspl to flash the radio rom

Yes, you can use sSPL to flash Radio.
However you have to be careful not to flash the IPL/SPL.
Have fun,

What a sham!!!
Sorry Bro
I think this tool for safe room only , nothing else.
sorry again
Guys: so what is it? Yes or No?
I used Shelltool on the T-Mobile radio rom, but ther is no ipl/spl, that leads me to believe that it is G4 safe? Is that true, could someone please comment on that.
I am being cautious as I do not want to brick my device, much too attached to it.
If the ROM is only a Radio ROM (No IPL, SPL, OS), then it is safe to flash to a G4.
Only flashing G3 IPL to a G4 bricks it, so it is safe if the ROM doesn't have it.
You even don't need SoftSPL, just flash it directly.

Which is your device,G3 or G4 ?
If you have a CID locked G3 phone,there's no need to use 'ShellTool',the T-mobile is also an official rom with its own extended rom,it'll flash easily,just flash it straight without shelltool.
thank you for the reply zabardast_1
I have a G4 device
I have tryed running the official RUU, but get an error message, because I think the device is CID locked. That is why I used shelltool (and also tryed soft SPL and hard SPL without any luck flashing the comeplete ROM)
As I said, I can flash the OS ROM using shelltool, but not extended ROM. Is it possible to flash the whole RUU?
I've been searching the various forums to see if there is a (free) method of CID unlocking a G4 device, but I think many may have lost interest with the wizard with all the other devices coming out.
Any and all help gratefully received. Thank you

G4 device cannot be CID unlocked,if you want to upgrade or install any other rom use 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL',
YES ! you can only flash 'nk.nbf' (OS files) only with SoftSPL or HardSPL,but Extended_rom is not possible.
