All latest custom cooked Roms(Blackdiamond,NBD,TNT,XMr5...etc) are meant both for G3 and G4 devices,they all are safe for a G4 device,cuz they are not having any IPL/SPL in them,only those old Roms which have IPL/SPL included in it are not G4 safe Roms.
A G4 phone cannot be CID unlocked like a G3 phone to upgrade to latest wm6 Roms.There are different methods to upgrade a G4 phone.If you want upgrade to latest wm6 rom,read and do correctly the 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' methods by 'the-equinoxe' in the G4 forum.
Cheers!

Works great, my SPL is 2.21.Olip...
zabardast is correct, HardSPL is NOT CID unlocked. It only tricks the RUU to allow flashing, but the CID is still there (you can use WST to verify that)
G4 Roms
The TNT.1933_TouchFlo_Wizard ROM works just fine on my T-Mobile MDA. I used SSL. It is a good idea to copy the extended ROM somewhere. To get my e-mail downloads to function properly, I had to run the T-Mobile mail notification app from EXTROM.
I also have had several others work, but this one is the closest to what I want in a ROM. I happen to use Transcriber a great deal and it is not in this ROM.

with my g4 i did the following.
1) download rom i wanted (latest tnt)
2) downloaded original wm5 rom and ran the updater (tmob in my case) = if you are starting from wm5 original rom then just hard reset/clear storage.
3) download and run wizard service tool (thanks mestrini) plug in your phone and wait for active sync to pick it up. Then in WST click enable rapi....
4) download and extract soft spl, then copy the nk.nbf from your chosen rom into the soft spl folder.
5) make sure your phone has plenty of charge and remove the sd card (not sure if taking the card out is nessacery but i do it just in case).
6) with the phone still connected run start-sspl which should show you a black "command promt" type screen for a minute or two then your phones screen will go white. after this the rom update utility will pop up and just follow the wizard.
soft spl is good because you dont have to mess with the phone too much.
the above is a brief run through of whats already available in various posts here so it should all work, but its always best to do your reading so you dont brick your phone.

I was flashing my brothers phone for him, and I was using the CID Workaround, and it completed, and then after a hard reset the device wouldnt go past the first splash screen.. pllease help
If your able to get into bootloader mode then you should be able to flash another rom such as wizard love or your providers rom.
If you read the thread on unlocking G4 cid locked using shell tool you will see what i mean. I personally was stuck in a very similar situation and received help, so the info you need might be in that thread.

Its a Cingular 8125, obivously g4
IPL 2.25.0001

It doesnt get past bootloader, and I would really like to put WM6 on it.
At this point, I've tried various other ROMs and nothing is working. Any thoughts or ideas at all would be appreciated. Thanks.
jUST DO WHAT I SAY
gREETINGS,
Just follow this steps u will be out of it.
Press and hold the camera button and reset the phone, hold the camera button until you see the tri color screen (bootloader), when u are on tri color screen connect the USB with your phone(dont see for active sync it wont recognise but it will be connected), and then flash your phone with the rom your provider has given you i.e, the original rom and DONT flash it with shell tool use the exe file of the rom.
When you are at the original rom then try to flash the WM6 with shell tool and follow the instruction properly.
Thanks

I cannot do that because the Carrier ROMs that I have aren't for G4, so they arent working. I have three different carrier ROMs for my phone.. and none of them work.

Check your email, I downloaded and zip works fine here.
i'm facing this problem right now , i will solve it with the original rom .
the problem started when i used shelltool to upgrade my G4 CID Locked to windows mobile 6 crossbow underground edition .
i will give it another try when i get my device alive again ,
any suggestions for the WM6 underground to make it work using shelltool on my wiza 200 ??
--------------------- Edit -----------------------
Finally i solved the problem and installed Crossbow WM6 underground edition .
all i did is to install the original rom from provider and then used shelltool to install WM6 .
i want to mention that my wiza200 is G4 and its CID Locked .
Huge thanx to mUn , you are da man
Mmm
I've tried underground wm6, but flashing till 96%, then error 302. I've searching for love rom few hours at night, then finally found, it is using the same flashing frontend (but in italian? language), flashed ok, phone's running. I've tried some few other wm6 roms, but always errors like "too old, get new one" or once it was probably fake, because it loaded exactly the same ROM as love one is. So, now I've probably stuck on WM5 at all

Mine is G4, dunno if cid is locked or not. I've flashed it as I said with wizard love rom and working without problems. I've tried that again this morning, to flash from love rom, but the same. At 96% it hangs, error 302 Communication error, then starts recovery process, phone goes to bootloader mode. Then is possible to flash it with love rom again with no problem
g4
i have a g4 wizard using the shell tool i have chaged my rom on my phone sometimes 3 times a week just to test them out
the shell tool works if you cant download from the forum here is the link for it
http://rapidshare.com/files/17787647/ShellTool_bugfixed.zip
G4
yes, but when I run shelltool, and press get rom info, all fields states N/A
info from phone is:
ROM Version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
Radio: 2.25.11
ExtROM: 2.26.10.105
IPL/SPL: 2.17.0001
And anyway, dunno exactly which rom for WM6 I can put in (I've just 5.underground_edition_Crossbow_ROM.exe which stucks at 96% with 302 error)
well, I'm dumb, mislooked one stupid thing. Everything passed without errors, Windows Mobile 6 is up and running
happy to know that , the problem was installing rapi ha ??
WBR
No, not really, rapi and that second cab was in device, it was restarted, but I did a mistake - i didn't copied that desired rom into updater directory - that was why were all fields N/A... did that, flashed on first try, without problem
I had the same problem, orginal rom from the provider, and I can reflash it again.....
THX for the info......
ROM verion and link location
Hi lobiik,
which ROM did you use for your device, as you comments above:
"i didn't copied that desired rom into updater directory "
can you please point me to location where i can get the ROM, also proper steps to install the same.
Thanks,

HELP!!!!!!!!
I tried flash my G3 with shelltools the program said it worked well i did hard reset then i turned it on it is stuck on 1st front screen bootloader mode is stuck i dont know what is is my device bricked
---------------------edit--------------------------
im a newbie
No worries I haven't bricked my phone yet.
I bought a G4 Cingular 8125 that was advertised as unlocked. I know its sim-unlocked at least because i'm using it w/ a t-mobile sim card.
Trying to figure out if it is CID-Unlocked. How do you do this? I've ran EnableRapi and Cert_SPCS, rebooting after each and then tried to use the shell tool to even just view the current ROM info... all it shows in Comments is "This is a custom rom". Have also tried to use Wizard Service Tool to view information about my Wizard but to no avial I can't seem to get that program to run.
Any suggestions? I'm lost right now because everything I try doens't seem to get me anywhere. Only thing I haven't tried is running the Rom Updater Utility with a new Rom, as that seems my only option left to see if its unlocked or not right?
Three Key Topics - MUST READ - and a word or two
Make sure ... Is it a G3 or a G4? Soft reset if you don't know for sure, and look for the 0001 on the end of the IPL./SPL version numbers.
three zeros and a digit on the end - G4
less than 3 zeros-digit - G3.
Ket Reading - How to tell - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284292
G4 -- it's very unlikely to be CIDunlocked - you can only do it by paying imei-check for the software and unique key .. and it's unlikely the previous owner did that without telling you about it - it's a key selling point !! But nowadays it's not so vital anyway. The ShellTool method works perfectly IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY - and will allow you to change ROMS without threatening the sanity of your bootloader ... I've done it three tinmes so far.
Key Reading Shelltool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
G3 -- just search the forum for LokiWiz and unlock it yourself ... CAREFULLY .. if its already unlocked, doing it twice won't kill it.

Yes I did read almost everything. I have a G4 My IPL/SPL is 2.25.0001 so yes its a G4...
I've read each item you posted about 3 times each. Even the bs responses to them I read not just the first page or so. I've also read the faria install tutorial and tried that. I've also done the shell tool tutorials and i'll explain the problem that arises.
Also EVERY time I follow the directions EXACTLY on shelltool nothing happens.
I've installed both Cert_SPCS, and EnableRapi on the phone then reset it. Once it boots back I turn on flight mode to disable the radio then open shell tools and click Get ROM info and nothing comes up. I'm assuming that the ROM info is from the phone? or is it from the nk.nbf of the rom you want to put on the phone?
Then just to see what happens extract takes about 10 seconds to complete and flash takes about 21 seconds to compete. The phone is connected to active sync so not sure whats up with it but oh well. I put on Wizard Love and it does what I was trying to accomplish. Still would like to try out a WM6 Rom to see the differences but not the big of a deal to me anymore.
Also if you read my post... I bought my phone from craigslist... advertised as unlocked. Trust me when you meet a guy you can barely understand for a phone that costs $220 you don't wanna sit around in his car and idle chit chat. Specially in the area that we met. When I asked the guy if it was fully unlocked he said yes or it should be because I paid for it. Also my phone isn't branded with cingular 8125... not sure if it makes a difference but it is branded with HTC
have a G4 My IPL/SPL is 2.25.0001 so yes its a G4...

It's a G4 - so it's unlikely to be CID unlocked whatever the vendor told you. Proceed as though it is CID locked.

I had the fast flash problem too. Turned out to be a corrupt ROM file. Get one of the ROMs from the list that's regularly posted around the forum. Alternatively I used the one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762 this thread. Don't forget to use the password when you unpack it !!
I'm afraid that's the best I can do as far as help is concerned .. good luck .. it worked for me
IS there WM6 that works with a G4??
Just use ShellTool on nb.nkf extract from a G3 RUU archive.
...or CID-unlock

Flash to wizard love or your carrier's rom. Then use shelltool, if you get stuck repeat the process. Sometimes it takes a couple of attempts.

If your new I plead with you to read the wiki and the sticky's in the wizard forums. Then you can come back here and ask whatever you like. Most people on here are very friendly and helpful but all we ask is that others read a bit before asking. This reduces the amount of redundant questions.
There is an entire thread dedicated to the use of shelltool.
Good Luck
I could never get any rom to flash on my locked G4. Tried Shelltools with about 4 different roms w/o success. Finally broak down and paid the $42 US to imei-check.co.uk for their unlocking service.
Now I'm unlocked and back to flashing until my hearts content - Running NBD 8.3 w/radio 2.69.11 on my Cingular/ATT 8125.
Avoid the grey hair and if ShellTools doesn't work after the second time, pay for the service.
Stuck on a splash screen,
I also had a same problem after flashing by Shelltool and stuck on a splash screen.
Flash back to custom setting using RUU tool and Wizard Love rom.
(wizard love rom is for G4 cid locked wizards. It doesnt have IPL/SPL section)
Again I have flashed Most beautiful ver; using shelltool and now i am enjoying new WM6 on my G4 locked wizard.

My Experience

After you stuck on splash screen, Your device wont detect by activesync to use with RUU (rom upgrade utility) tool. But still you can go to Bootloader mode (rainbow screen) by holding camera button while you soft reset the phone. Run the RUU tool after you manualy set the bootloder mode. RUU tool will detect your device on USB with bootloader mode (your PC not giving any sign of usb connectin but RUU detect your devise)
Othewise RUU toll give you 'error message 260'
This method was worked for me.
ok I've been reading a lot & had some problems with certain roms but I need to ask a very stupid question:
how do I turn off the radio? does this means having the phone in flight mode?
thanks
exactly. Flight mode is radio turned off. I was surprised too, when i saw radio off, but logical thinking give me an answer. like u
CID-Unlock .... how ????
Excuse me, but where is the "Running NBD 8.3 w/radio 2.69.11 on my Cingular/ATT 8125." ROM ??? .... I've been surfing the forum but couldn't find anything !!!
Thank U
let me get this right once you cid unlock the phone you can flash the g4 without the shell program?
yes that right! once you unlock you dont ned shell toll you can flash to any ROM!
also if you wanna use shell tool flash to trisyndicate and then to the rom you want to flash (both use shelltool) it werked ofr me

Those are two separate updates/flashes I performed after CID unlocking my 8125.
There is a thread in the WM6 forum containing NBD 8.3 and just do a search for the 2.69.11 radio. Just be sure to also search for the Cingular CAB fix for the 2.69.11 radio.
If you get stuck, just send me a PM.
Hey guys I'm a newbie... I was playing around and trying to flash a new rom onto my wizard/8125. The program stopped responding on my PC so I had to restart it. Now my phone is stuck in the tricolor boot screen. It says USB is connected but activesync won't recognize it.
IPL. 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.01ip
Please help me I just go the phone working yesterday..
The reason activesync won't recognize it is because the activesync program isn't installed on your device, provided the windows mobile can't start. At the boot screen, you can still flash the device. However, I wouldn't play around with flashing your 8125 unless you know what you're doing; there's a chance that you could turn your phone into a brick.
Try flashing it with the Wizard Love rom found here.
You might need the English Update Utility files found here.
Then, if your phone is CID locked, you can use the G4 SoftSPL from this post to flash it with the G4 safe rom of your choice. My 8125 would often freeze at 99% in the update process, but flashing first with Wizard Love would do the trick.
I got it. Thanks for you're help though. I just flashed it with a new ROM program and seemed to work just fine. Thanks again
I have exactly the same problem I am also stuck and I am also showing the IPL. 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.01ip
How did you Supa solve your problem?
I reached this stage after sucessfully installing hardspl and CID_unlocking and then tried to upgade to WM6 and failed to do a hard reset instead remove battery ( I know very stupid )

You have a G4, and its CID Locked. You'll need to flash the Wizard_Love rom - it will install sucessfully on G4 Cid Locked - and then cid unlock it, before trying to install any other ROM. You need to be carefull not to flash rom's with IPL/SPL information, that includes official ones from T-Mobile!
My ELF (Soft Black) is also stuck in the tri-color screen after trying to flash it.

Please HELP!!!!
First of all, thanks to all the uber-smart people in the forum that make new toys for my Wizard!
Rabbid, if yours is a Wizard G4, install the Wizard Love ROM as dferreira suggested. If you don't know, check sticky posts on how to ID your phone.
I had the same problem, stuck at the loader screen, because I forgot to soft-unlock my phone.
That's the last time I reflash my phone at 2 AM, after being up since 6AM the previous day
Wizard Love was useful for me!
I had the same problem (tricolor screen), but I flashed my Qtek A9100 and it came again! (I´m so happy)
the rom that I used was Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2.
I hope it be useful for all you, guys!
I have a question. If I was wrong flashed G4 Hard-SPL unlocked device, can I fix the problem using RUU? Usually, I used soft-SPL.
Thanks for the responses on this thread! lol
I used the Wizard love and I do have a g4 phone I checked a million times.
I used the process to Hardspl my T-mobile Wizard and when I turn the phone completely off and on it is the Love Wizard. I got the steps from the XDA Developers Wiki Site.
I wanted to use the Slim Edition of WM6.1 and I have downloaded the zip( or rar) but what do I need to do next. I thought I knew about the flash process because I had experience flashing with GBA and SP but apparently I know nothing.
What I originally did was run the hard-spl G4 program but when the screen popped up to install a ruu ( or the os i gussed) I closed out of it and instead opened the boot loader program that was located in the Slim Edition Folder. I lost connection to my g4 at the white screen...naturally panicked for 30 mins and then realized the soft reset button and did the manual boot loader screen. I then read this forum about the love wizard so just installed it out of fear to try the slim version again.
Also, the XDA Developer process says that the HardSPl process unlocks both SIM and CID is that incorrect? And do I need to be concerned with downloading Radios for my g4 model? Any help or flame would be appreciated at this point. Thanks.
All I want to do is use the T-mobile Wizard (g4) with WM6 or MW6.1 and for it to be unlocked.
Again, Thanks for your time

Well,as you mentioned,its a G4 phone,it cannot be CID unlocked completely like a G3 device,however,it can be upgraded to wm6 with 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL',if you apply "hardSPL' it'll semi CID unlock the phone by flashing a patched IPL/SPL to the phone to trick it to think its CID unlocked temporarily,but it'll stay CID unlocked and "HardSPL' as long as you intentionally don't remove it and you can flash any wm6 or wm6.1 Rom on it. But always be warned that don't ever flash any Rom which have IPL/SPL included in it,it'll 'Brick' the phone.
Did you apply 'HardSPL' successfully ? what IPL/SPL... ? it displays at present.
Secondly,if you didn't have any signal quality or call missing problem with your present Radio Rom installed,then there's no need to upgrade.Some custom build wm6 or 6.1 Roms,do already include updated Radio Roms,which get flashed durinf Rom (OS) upgrade.
Thanks so much for responding.
I don't know what all happened to be honest. When I was using the Hardlsp G4 program after I got the white screen I thought I would cancel the rom that it wanted to install and install the Slim Edition. I was thinking that it was installing an OS and I wanted to substitute it for WM6.1 Slim edition I didn't know that I was cancelling out of the WM6 rom softspl . So to be honest I though I just Hardslp it but I didn't use the softslp which comes with the temporary CID unlock? Maybe that sounds right lol.
Regardless, Now I'm tring to figure out what to do obviously this phone works with T-mobile only and so I thought I could CID Unlock it and SIM unlock it with that program and now I'm thinking i'm screwed lol.
If I followed the HARDSLP directions again to the letter would I get the phone temerporarly CID & SIM unlocked so I can use it or have I messed it up to much? Oh, and the phone seems to be getting a signal although I can't call anyone but the bars are showing beside the indicator.
I did get an issue were when my phone went white it dissconected from activesync and so I had to manual get to the bootloader screen anyway.

Well, with your present IPL/SPL 2.25.0001,its not HardSPL,as you say it didn't complete and you closed it,therefore,its still with its original official bootloaders (IPL/SPL),no harm is done yet.
Now,if you wish to upgrade the phone to wm6,either you can do it with SoftSPL, which'll just temporarily trick the phone into CID unlock and flash the rom,but it'll revert back to CID locked status after the reboot of the phone and if you wish to replace the rom,you'll again have to apply SoftSPL again.Every time you want to change roms,you'll have to apply SoftSPL,but if you apply HardSPL once,it'll remain HardSPL and temporarily tricked into CID unlocked status till you don't remove it.You don't have to apply HardSPL again and again to flash roms,its possible to flash roms easily.but never flash a rom which contains IPL/SPL in it even the official Rom in HardSPL status.If ever you wish to revert back to official rom,first remove the HardSPL and flash the official Bootloaders (IPL/SPL) and then flash the official Rom.
Ahh Thanks a Million.
Zabardast_1. I know it sucks explaining that stuff a million times but it really helped me.
So, If I was wanting to get the Slim Edition WM6.1 I could just
Run HardSLP Program and complete the stepes provided
Then hook the phone up to the computer while its in windows os and then click the bootloader app for Slim Edition? Thus Installing Slim Edition
Then use the the lolwoz03 program to unlock my sim?
Or would the last step not be needed because of hardslp?
I do have Love Wizard on here so when I start the phone up those isp/lsp is what i got.
I think thats the last of my questions and then i'll leave you all alone lol

Yup! First apply 'HardSPL' correctly,read the HardSPL thread carefully understand the method and do it correctly and let it complete,the screen will certainly go white,don't be afraid,its the essential part, it'll only take a minute or so,if it doesn't go white,then consider something is not correct ,after successful application of HardSPL,the phone will reboot and IPL will be 2.21.0001 and the SPL is 2.21.olip,it confirms the successful application of HardSPL.Now its ready to flash any wm6 or 6.1 rom,just hook up the phone and run the RUU in the rom,it'll start to upgrade
Well,regarding SIM unlock with lokiwiz03,you shud do it before HardSPL its much recommended.HardSPL will only flash the patched IPL/SPL which let your device think it has SuperCID (aka CID unlocked) but doesn't SIM unlock,for SIM unlock you have to use lokiwiz03 and generate a SIM unlocking code which you'll insert when using another SIM.
Well, Thanks again
All I know is when I run Lokiwiz it says it can't copy files and it might be inuse. So if there is a better way of unlocking or a way of unlocking the sim after i do the hardslp i'm up for it haha whatever works the best. I think it says it can't find the C:/windows/itsutils.dll and then it says it can't save a certian bat file because it doesn't exsit.
Okay I fixed it by copying the files Cert_SPCS and EnableRapi to folder Lokiwiz03 was in on my computer.
Well, I ran the SlimEditon romupdate utility and it took my phone to tri color screen then activesync discconected and it says it can't connect to my phone now. So did I click on the wrong program?
Thanks a million + Zar
I read something like If I take the .nbf file and transfer it into the muns ruu folder and run muns ruu that it should fix it but it says something about an aku and far when i start the program so I'm hesitent. Also I'm stuck in the Bootloader screen? Should I use the wizard love rom again and then when it finishes use the slimedition with muns ruu?
Well I did that from the bootloader screen (tricolor Screen) and slimedition works the only thing that sucks is that it still shows the wizard love pic when displaying my ipl slp and gsm info...

Your phone is still running wizard_love_rom,it didn't upgrade to slimEdition,perhaps its still not correctly with HardSPL patched IPL/SPL,did you get it HardSPL ?
Well, everything else works fine. I think I soft flashed my phone back when I messed up and so it reset the loader screen with the ipl spl info and then when I hard Slp over top of it the hardslp just didn't remove the screen. It says all the information that it should it just has that love picture on it that is kinda emberresing but I'll live with it to have a working phone and not a shinny brick.
Thanks for everything again and again Zar, Unless you can tell me how to show the battery life correctly on the main screen in Slim Edition I finally don't have anymore questions for you . lol
Thanks
hey i have a cingular 8125 g4 i sim unlocked it i also did the hard spl on it. i'm under t-mobile there any way i can change the boot up screen to tmobile and have t-zone on my phone because i got a mms and i can't download it still under cingular info.
Use the search option!
Type on the Search forum option for a cab for it... if not... download the TrukQteka app it allows you to unhide the extended ROM ( its just afolder where the Tmobile has the T-zone app. just copy it to your device out from the Extended ROM and run it....
Changing the Wallpaper is something that nobody assumes the risk on G4 devices...Cause its completely proved that in G3 wizard works like a charm but in G4 is not tested yet... if you wanna take the risk... do it and let us know how it works... but you need to be adviced that flashing the first and second boot screens is higly risk.... it can become a bricked device
Click at my HTC Skydrive Signature and download the file named 3splash screens.zip ... Unzip it READ CAREFULLY about the size for the pictures and the isntruction on creating them and ejoy... hopefully you wish... butr men.... i never do it... unless you were a RICH men not porr like me to buy a new one.
Aye, thats right Que, I have tried to do my bootscreens on my G4 aswell, and it sadly simply does not work. It corrupts the boot order for Windows, and you have to re-flash your ROM.
oh ok so i can't flash the tmobile rom on my phone how about if i can flash a windows mobile 5 from tmobile on my phone. its because i can't get on to download mms with out tmobile dial up connection.
