I have a 8125 G4 sim unlocked w lokiwiz and a flashed WMSE5_rev4 with soft spl, well the problem that i have now is that i recentley tried to flash a new wm6 rom without hard spl ( yeah i know stupid) And now i am stuck on tri color boatloader screen no matter if i turn it off or not still goes back to the same thing. and yes the rom that i was flashing was g safe, i think were i messed up is not CID unlocking it with hard spl?when i tried to flash the new rom it went all the way to 100% and then gave error after that. NO activesync connection right now
questions
1- DID I BRICK IT
2- is there a way to recover this device
unlock it again. (CID) i had the same thing on my wiz g4. and no. is not bricked.
ok thank you and i will let u know what happens so i should use hardspl right?
ok thank you and i will let u know what happens so i should use hardspl right?
still lost
Ok this is where im at i have tried to flash other roms, NOTHING. the phone is cycling between charging(when on charger) and bootloader every few seconds then i pull it off and nothing. i cant get hard spl to recognize the phone nor will activesync. i understand that i need to CID unlock the phone but i cant even get that far?
any suggestions? please walk me through it im not stupid but HTC's are a whole new ball game for me. im used to motorolas(by the way they suck!)
thanks in advance
Get the original stock ROM for your Wizard version and flash it to get your OS back, then you can HardSPL or SoftSPL.
p.s. G4 Wizard does not have free solutions to actually "CID unlock". Either HardSPL and SoftSPL are hacks that tricks the RUU to allow flashing, you will still see your device as Locked in WST(Wizard Service Tool).
go to activesycn settings turn OFF allow usb connections and retry
I read it here in another thread after I returned My P4300 to cincinati bell in exactly the same condition you described.
Good Luck

I flashed my locked g4 with faria's shelltool that installed wm6, my phone now wont make it past the ipl/spl screen. at this point i found the sd card backup method and unlocked my g4 through the website. when running through this method i find that the utility is unable to copy the extrom.. it seems to be the last hitch, my phone as of now is a brick and i am hoping for that to change. any help please?
Im not so sure its a brick, I think I read in other posts that if it makes it to the IPL/SPL screen there is still hope.. if it was a brick, I dont think it would do ANYTHING.
You might want to look into that though, I may be wrong, but I am pretty certain there is hope for u.
Hi there.
Turn off the phone, remove battery if necessary. Then press and hold camera button and then press the power button, your phone will enter in boot mode, now flash with the operator´s rom.
Cheers
sorry for the delayed response here. the phone (even in boot mode ) will not be found by active sync so i cannot get the thing to flash with the t-mo rom. since this issue i contacted customer care and am having the phone replaced under warranty.
the phone will NOT be recognized by activesync.. you just need to start the ROM update and it will go along fine. you need the original carrier ROM, and unless your device is CID unlocked, you need to use ShellTool to flash the WM6 ROM. good luck

Heh apologoies for title but im really stuck and desperate for any help!!
I have been trying to unlock my Cingular 8525 for many hours now without any luck.
I bought it off ebay knowing it was locked because I had seen these forums and knew it wasnt too harder job. I live in NZ we have a compatible 3G network here (they sell these phones branded as JasJams).
Anyway I dont have a cingular sim card, only a Vodafone NZ simcard. I dont know if that is a problem for me or not...
My problem is that I get part way through the update process and the connection between pc and phone gets cut everytime at the same place.
On my bootload screen during the setup it says
HERM100 IPL-SSPL by Des
HERM100 SPL-1.09.ds
and then
HERM100 IPL-1.01
HERM100 SPL-1.40.Olipro
Then I tick the appropriate checkboxes, I HAVE to soft reset my phone here to get it to sync up with my PC again, I dont think this should be a problem though,
It then gives me the button to select the Update button (Update the radio and bootloader)
So I click that, it gives the next screen, click next, tells you its going to take 10 minutes etc, so click next,
It then instantly disconnects the active sync connection and about a minute later I get an error screen saying the unlocker encountered communications errors.
I have been through this whole proccess 6 times now with no joy
Someone pleeeeeeeeease help me
Thanks
im willing to pay for a code all i want is a unlocked sim phone none of this radio stuff etc
try Wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
or alternatively
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
Thanks but not really helpful, I have read the wiki through and through. I have tried that flashing HardSPL v7 and i get exactly the same problem.
PLEASE somebody help me
The only piece that is confusing is what to do once your done. The instructions say that you will be replacing your radio with a tweaked one to allow the unlock. After the entire process is done I assume you will need to have your favorite radio (1.40.3 in my case) handy to flash back onto your Hermes?
I also assume that flashing your favorite radio back to the Hermes won't lock it back again.
To be honest, I'd suggest going back to basics. You could try quite a few workarounds and end up doing this anyway..:
Reflash the original ROM your phone came with. Should be found easily via wiki.
Then you can start upgrading again.
If that's difficult, try flashing from your MicroSD card, which I've found never fails, having bricked my Hermes quite a few times now with my own cockamayme (sp) versions of ROMs that I've cobbled together from bits of code and chewing-gum.
as far as I know you dont need to CID unlock before flashing.... With olipro spl and custom RUU updater you can flash anything on your phone....
laurasaur, after you have installed 1.4 olipro, use custom RUU updater
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298737
use the RUU updater with your choice of Rom.
or if yo want to unlock the device before

She want's to SIM-Unlock, not to CID-Unlock.
Do you use Vista? I encountered a similar problem with Windows Vista. Try a PC with Windows XP for the unlocking process.
ok my bad....
I've seen this issue with v1.4 Olipro. Upgrade bootloader to the latest Olipro 2.1 version then re-attempt.
ok thanks everyone for your advice but i am still screwed.
im not running vista.
i can not upgrade to olipro 2.1 because the upgrade utility always gets error 260 (update error) the update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.
I have now tried on 3 computers, my own, my parents and my work all resulting in the same thing.
I think now I will try and flash a WM6 rom onto my phone just using the olipro 1.4 and the custom RUU updater and see how I go but I dont have much hope
ok im currently updating the rom to wm6 as posted on the forums and oh my gosh i have a progress bar for the first time ever!! woot~~
um ok. now i have WM6 dopod version and fkn still sim locked someone help me before i throw my phone at the wall lol im going on holiday tomorrow and will have no phone for a week if i dont fix this in the next 3 hrs

Do *NOT* soft reset your phone here, it is normal that activesync disconnects while the pda is in bootloader mode (activesync only works while OS is running). Just click "next, next, next" in the RUU and it will go fine.
woooa i think i love you Pof, I seriously do. Im not sure how I became such a noob at reading instructions but im sorry and thank you so much I now have progress bar
if you're short on time avoid any radio updates, they seem a bit hit and miss - its not worth upgrading then going away to find you've got a tossy signal!!!!
hope it worked out!
I was instaling NBD_v8.3_8MB trough shelltool on my MDA Vario then something happened and my PC restarted I whink it is because of the electicity .... so now when I restardet my phone it is stuck on the T-mobile screen Where it is writen.....

Thanks in advance
First of all, its not bricked. Bricked = doesn't turn on, nothing, blank screen.
I've looked to your info, you already have HardSPL, so you can flash directly using any RUU, don't use shelltools!
Enter bootloader (hold camera+reset), open up the RUU of the ROM you want (make sure it doesn't have any IPL/SPL) and flash away
well I looked all day what to do and I can not find solution
I just can not understand how to flash the phone
I found one solution via some kind of Wizard_love, but again I do not know what to do
Please help i am haveing the same thing just did it today i have the Cingular 8125....i have held camera+reset and got into these Red,Green,Blue,white screen and it says IPL 2.25 and SPL 2.25 now when i run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID it does not work i have my usb pluged in and my phone says USB please help
Thank you

1. Please use a PC with Windows XP
2. Download your original carrier ROM (i.e. Cinglular stock ROM) and flash back to original WM5
3. Install HardSPL or use SSPL
4. Flash to WM6

Now my charge port is completely snapped off and my battery shorted out when I was trying to hold the charge port in place to charge it and fried the main board. DEAD. NO MORE.
THAT MY FRIENDS, IS BRICKED....
No worries though, I already ordered a TyTN II

first of all,as dferreira has assured u that ur device is not bricked,secondly ,you already have HardSPL,that means your device is unlocked,just follow his instructions,download any wm6 Rom and flash,it'll good to go,but if u still want to be sure,download WST Tool from the below given thread read carefully and apply the tool to verify the status of ur device,

u can flash NBD rom which u have or any other wm6 rom,goodluck
NVM i am on the Other Page! Thanks
Ok, i have read everywhere and can't help myself, so if someone would be kind enough to help it would be much appreciated
Ok, Used SoftSPL and tried flashing the ROM. It manages to get to 99% and then just goes RED. I have tried 3 different ROMS and same story it goes RED at 99%.
When i remove the battery, it goes to the RUU Red, Green and Blue screen. SPL version is 2.16.0001. Not Oli's new one.
What do i do from now?

Soft SPL only allows you ONE update, so phone is CID unlocked only when Soft SPL is loaded.
It's normal for the RUU to stick on 99 % for a couple of minutes, The whole update will take aprox 10 minutes.
You can try the hard SPL from there you are semi-permanently CID unlocked.
Good luck,

Are you sure SPL is 2.21 and not 2.21.0001 as IPL 2.21.0001 ?
Well,if its 2.21 only,the phone's got mixed Bootloaders (IPL/SPL),IPL 2.21.0001 are G4 and SPL 2.21 is G3,I don't know how you got it,but your phone is 'Bricked'
mmm it figures
so it appears there could be a problem with the imei program,
as i said it never came out of boot mode after the unlock
and no errors were shown ...
i could get another and replaced the main board, this one is in new condition
except for the custom bricked rom . in the future i will not play with a g4
thanks for the diagnosis, no way to flash a new spl / ipl ... i did read that if
it booted you could get it back in some chance cases .. i am curious as to how this happened (others not doing this for a hobby could brick there only phone)
step 1 - ran imei unlock
never came out of boot mode after
2- flashing the to above roms said to be G4 safe
i never look to see what the ipl / spl were before
i looked with the wizard tool but didn't save it
well you live and learn, it's good for parts now off to ebay for another crack at it ...
thanks everyone ... the best thing about this phone is everything you can do to it
with help from those who know ...
I recommend trying to flash back to original service provider ROM, then unlock again and try another. As long as you can get to bootloader (tri-color screen), there's still hope for your phone. When it's in this mode, and you plug in the USB, does it say USB at the bottom of the phone screen? If so, you are not dead yet.
Custom build wm6 roms like TNT etc... never Brick a G4 phone as no IPL/SPL is included in them,they are completely safe for G4 devices.What I can gather,it must be the wrong imei unlock code perhaps.
Well,like Myrddin Wyllt said,there's no harm in trying,so if it gets into Bootloaders,try to flash the official rom and if there's an error "wrong update utility" ,replace the RUU in the rom with this RUU and run this RUU,hope it might work.

i found the att 8125 ipl /spl nbf when i flash, it runs to 100% reboots but no changes
anyone have a link to flashing just the ipl / spl on the g4
i am most thankful for any advise ..
try running the hardspl on phone, it might just work to revert it back to a G4 spl.

Also I paid to the IMEI Check and I had to change the plate because the PDA died as yours. E had not returned to the money of the IMEI Check only reply to me was that it had to change of plate ..... It had the unblocked CID?
bastards
yes they won't return my money ... somehow they bricked my phone
i would use the hard /spl and not the imei those guys are assholes
Hey, my phone is an At&t 8525 and after finally fixing the white screen problem and flashing hard-spl v7 and a couple of roms I bricked the phone when flashing the last touch flo rom. During the flash the ruu wrapper stopped and indicated there was an error. I did the recovery and it supposedly completed succesfully if I can remember right. When it reboot it would not get past boot loader. And thats where I am now, the phone will not get past boot loader.
I've tried every method on these forum I could found
SD card flashing dosent work, I get the 002..... error in red.
Flashing the factory an at&t rom dosent work either, gets the same error
\
As for as I know the MTTY method dosent work, I don't know how to type in commands into bootloader and when I type in 14 0 in MTTY nothing happens
KITL is not enabled
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.03
The phone does not boot into bootloader when I hit the power button, I have to hold the comm button, power button, and soft reset in order to bring up bootloader.
When bootloader is up and the phone is connected to the computer via usb bootloader displays usb on the screen and windows detects the device as an HTC device.
Again i've spent about a week and a half trying to fix this phone and I don't know what to do anymore, i've tried more methods than listed above I can't remember though. If anyone can give me a hint on what to do I would highly appreciate it. Thanks
P.S Can someone please tell me how you type commands in bootloader or MTTY
You DON'T have Hard SPL V7 installed..... Otherwise your SPL would be 2.10.
Connect the Hermes to the pc, make sure active sync has benn disabled - got to settings, untick connect by USB. It should register on the pc. Go to bootloader then run the .nbh file for your stock rom... Make sure its the carrier rom that it was shipped with. It doesn't have to be WM05 but it DOES have to be your ORIGINAL carrier rom. Let it run through, you may gewt lucky.....
If it works, INSTALL HARD SPL V7....... Makes it so much easier to fix then...
Good luck...
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated
I tried downloading and sd card flashing a stock rom from a list of factory roms of all Hermes that I found here on xda. It gave me the same error though. I'm not exactly sure which exact rom to download from that list either. Any more help would be appreciated, thx
Wow I feel retarded, I used the wrong factory rom. After I used the right one it worked perfectly, I now have my 8525 back! Thx so much man, ur the friggin man!
Congrats bro you got it atlast. good luck & take care your baby in future. try to help others with your experience.
Glad you fixed it mate, but if I were you I'd also make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. It is the safety net to help when things go wrong... Never gonna be 100% safe but better odds with Hard SPL V7...
SPL - 2.10 oli
Cheers...
Ok... Rejoining the 8525 Clan
Is this Forum still alive???
Been a while guys, figured I would break out the 8525... charge it up and see what kind of things are new in this community. Unfortunately, it looks as if the radio is bricked on it. Seems like it will install ROM's that the radio is not included on. NO GSM is on the boot display, which is strange as I was using this phone until I got the Tilt about 1 1/2-2 yrs ago. I was a hardcore flasher back then... every other day it seemed, so I know it has (or had) everything it needed like the Oli 2.10 SPL... but it seems like I cannot recover this radio issue.
I am messing with the different original OEM and Carrier ROMs hoping I can get passed the 11-12% mark, and I will let you know if something changes. Any idea if un-installing SPL 2.10 Oli, and then trying to walk back through the old SPL steps could help? I am just trying to figure out another way to get around this radio issue... or basically I have a PDA, no phone Damn phone hasn't been touched in like 2 years, you think it would be just as fine as it was when I took the SIM out.
Cheers
