Hey all, since most people are asking for pictures and such on how to upgrade G4 Wizards to Windows Mobile 6 or better, I have gone ahead and made a text guide, with screenshots to follow along with, that also includes all of the files needed to upgrade a G4 Wizard with(along with credits to their coders.). It is uploaded to MediaFire, and the link is at the bottom of this post. Here is whats included:
How-to text guide, written by Myself
The Wizard Service Tool, by mestrini
The ActiveSync Setup.exe, for people that dont have it already
and SoftSPL, by the exuinoxe
PLEASE NOTE!!!-I did NOT include any ROM files with this package, YOU MUST supply the ROM of your choice yourself(this is stated in the guide aswell.).
Yes, it IS a SoftSPL guide, seeing as NO n00b understand how to make the HARDSPL method work. It is(imho) well written, and all of the screen shots are marked with arrows and such as to what to do next...so please, everyone download it and make improvements, criticize whatver. And please note!!
I DO NOT WANT ANY KIND OF DONATIONS FOR THIS THING!!! I have had 3 people send me money for this guide from my forums, and it should not come to me. IF YOU GET SOME USE OUT OF THIS GUIDE, THEN PLEASE DONATE TO EITHER XDA-Developers, OR TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AUTHORS, NOT TO ME!! Thanks!!!-ashasaur

Great guide. I think it might flow better in a html format or posted on the forum here with the images linked offsite?

Hey, I'm a noob(ish) and I've managed to unlock my phone through HardSPL. Didn't think it was that hard.
But of course the 2 and a half years of Computer engineering school plus work experience manually loading roms into memory from the bootloader on an embedded system couldn't of hurt.

Can not find the upgradr guide
Hi ashasaur,
I am trying to download the upgrade guide from http://www.mediafire.com/?hzbx043cglm but it says not available, is there another way to wownload that please?
Thanks,
Sam

well, ive just tryed it, and it seems to still be there...try again perhaps?

Thanks
WORKS fine. Nice guide. Easy to follow.Thanks...

WM6.1
Hey guys,
I was wondering where can we find WM6.1 rom??? Also, would it work on an HTC wizard G4? Are there extra steps involved?
By the way, I'm running TNT 1.9199 Rom... If I upgradew to WM6.1, will it wipe out this rom too?
Thanx,
Phil

Upgrade to TNT 19213 series,its wm6.1. Yes ! flashing a new rom will completely wipe out and replace the existing rom and files,its just like formatting the Hard drive of pc while installing a new OS.

can u give me a rom pls i only have my spv m3100 for one day and the guide is very easy to follow but i don't know what rom to use please help

I start Wizard Service Tool an click on [Enable Rapi. and Unsigned Apps].
After this it comes about 20 seconds later that all is ok an i can do the following steps. When i go to Device Info i get this:
On Wizard Service Tool i have got this Message:
Warning!
A device was detected but one (or both) of RAPI
Communications and Applications Policy isn't
enabled.
Use first button for that purpose and try again
Can anybody tell me why?
I have try softreset an do all steps again. Not better.
Engersen

are you using a G3 of G4 device? Again I say, THIS GUIDE IS ONLY FOR G4 WIZARDS!

I have got a G4.
My Wizard show on start IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.0001.
Any ideas for my Problem?
Thx Engersen

hmmm, I would just go ahead and skip that step then, and start after it, with the SoftSPL and such. Just read and you should be fine.

Really? Without Wizard Service Tool?
I can try it. I hope all works great after this.
WST is not interest because SoftSPL do the temporary CID Unlock. Right?

Sometimes, 'EnableRapi' and 'Cert_SPCS' doesn't get executed automatically by WST Tool,so its recommended to manually copy and paste these two files in the phone and execute them,you'll find these files in the installation folder of the Wizard Service Tool folder in the 'Files' folder in the Program Files on C:\ drive.But WST Tool doesn't CID unlock a G4 device,so if you want to upgrade,then read and follow the methods 'SoftSPL or HardSPL posted as stickies in the this G4 forum.

Yes i know that WST is not unlock CID.
I use the package from first Post. There is SoftSPL inside to unlock. Right?
Ok, i think i have following steps to do.
Copy both files 'EnableRapi' and 'Cert_SPCS' to Wizard and execute them.
Then Unlock CID with SoftSPL and follow all other steps from Userguide of Package from the first page. Right?
Thx for help and greetz from Germany

It ist possible downgrade back to WM5 if WM6 is not my like?
Engersen

of course, though you will need to follow one of the downgrading guides here on the forums, as I do not know the exact steps.

Ok, thank you for help. In German all was easy for me. Now i want to ask for everything

Downgrading to official wm5 depends on the method with which you upgraded. If you upgraded through SoftSPL,there's no further procedure,just flash the official rom,coz SoftSPL doesn't change the official original IPL/SPL,but if you upgraded through HardSPL,than you'll first have to remove HardSPK revert back to original IPL/SPL and then flash the official rom,as HardSPL flashes the patched IPL/SPL and its changed.

G4 Device>>> CID Unlocked? WM6? Huh???!!!???

Ok, so I'm a little behind the times...
I've been reading the forums here for a while today... and I'm more frustrated NOW than when I started!
I have a G4 Device (see my signature, below) ...but, I'm not sure if its CID Locked or not (how can I tell?).
So far, I've downloaded the following files...
1. 'ShellTool_bugfixed.zip' (contains EnableRapi.cab, Cert_SPCS.cab, ShellTool.doc and ShellTool.exe)
2. '5._Underground_edition_Crossbow_ROM.exe'
4. 'Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar'
3. 'Tutorial.zip' (refined tutorial)
Is there anything else I am missing/need? Where do I get it? and what other tools do I need?
Thanks for tolerating my ignorance!
ha
Greetings,
You have got G4 locked device. For flashing the WM6 rom u need shelltool which u acquired, so read the guide b4 flashing carefullyyyy!!!!
OK, followed direction, had some minor problems and Wizard wouldn't boot past bootscreen. Needed to use bootloader to install the following ROM...
'Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2'
Then retried ShellTool ...and voila! IT WORKED!!!
It recommended to downgrade your OS.
Hello. I had the same problem when flashing MB, i had PDAViet3 Installed and copy the cabs of the shell tool (my g4 was locked until yesterday) and try to flash with MB and i had to flash wizard love again. I tried again and it worked just perfect.
So if you have a WM6 ROM already flashed try downgrading first to wizard love or any other WM5 then try flashing MB Rom.
Read shell tool instructions and do as it says, step by step.
Best regards!!
I have a locked G4 and used ShellTool to flash WM6 MB onto it last night and it worked perfectly the first time. Many thanks for the great utility and the detailed instructions!

question regarding upgrading

OK im not a new to windows mobile, i have flashed before many times but with wizard.
I want to upgrade my brother hermes,
ipl 1.01
spl 1.06
Im quite familiar with wizards "shelltool" (if you know) which just boots the OS and nothing else.
So can you guide as which tool i should use to just upgrade the OS and leave IPL and SPL and GSM as it is. I think SSPL should do??
Check out THIS MOST AWESOME GUIDE. MrVanx is the best and his guide will give you all you need.
But im in warranty, and i dont wanna lose it by overwriting spl,
Is there any other way to upgrade.
I think SSPL will do but not sure do i need to check for CID also??
Thanks for quick reply.
If your warranty is important, then I would read it very closely.
Probably only upgrades available from your manufacturer or your service provider would be allowed, and in that case you follow their instructions to the letter and if something goes wrong, it's up to them to resolve.
If you go loading WM6 and it's not supported, then you'll be on your own so you might as well load best/safest IPL & HARDSSPL as the experts have so wonderfully published for us lesser experienced people.
If it was my brothers phone, I wouldn't touch it because he'd either hit me or be bugging me for weeks about different versions & software etc, etc, etc
That's just my 2cents anyway.
Good luck! Oggy.

I would suggest not flashing a radio if you don't flash Olipro's HardSPL.
But SSPL will allow you to bypass the CID check for roms, similar to the shelltool for Wizards.
I have learned now to decompile and compile the nbh file.
So i can compile now any rom with OS only and flash it via SSPL.
Can anybody guide me to a guide to use SSPL. OR can u say???
I have one more confusion regarding SSPL that it does change the SPL for time being(for flashing) or for always??
Again if anything goes wrong while flashing the rom(only OS) will i be able to flash the original rom directly with original SPL.

[solution] G4 SoftSPL Flash any ROM to CID locked G4 [UPDATED]

HTC Wizard SoftSPL (sSPL) For G4 Wizards
FAQ:
What is SoftSPL?
-SoftSPL is a patched SPL that will temporary unlock your CID (untill reboot).
-It will be copied to your device and loaded (BUT NOT FLASHED!), the device is tricked to believe it has SuperCID (More accuratly g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel will be 0 ).
Why Temporary?
-1st because of warranty, since there is no CID block written, warranty isn't void
-2nd with this tool it's not necesarry to have a permanently unlocked CID.
-3rd it's safe, it doesn't flash CID block or IPL/SPL by it's own, but choose your ROM you want to flash wisely!
Isn't shelltool the same?
-no shelltool will strip the rom, and then flash it with pdocwrite, where sSPL is a bootloader which says it has supercid, thus tricking the RomUpdateUtility.
But can I make it permanent?
-Yes it can make it semi permanent, with HardSPL (it's the same trick, but now a patched SPL is flashed to device).
What does Soft SPL change on my device?
-nothing, it's loaded into memory. Only the ROM you choose to flash with the RUU will change your device.
USE AT OWN RISK
How To use?
If you don't know what a G4 safe ROM is, don't even try to upgrade!
WILL NOT WORK IN VISTA
-Unzip SoftSPL.zip
-copy the nk.nbf file from desired G4 safe ROM to the SoftSPL folder
-Fully Connect to ActiveSync
-Run START-sSPL.exe
-the Screen of your Device will turn white, don't panic, this is normal
-SoftSPL will now run the RUU, proceed as usual (the screen of the wizard will stay white during whole process, again don't panic!)
DO NOT PROCEED WITH RUU if the screen isn't WHITE, OR when in bootloader SPL version isn't 2.21.olip
G4 Safe means:
-No IPL/SPL and no Extended ROM.
Many Thanks Go to:
Olipro: For patching the latest SPL
SAA044: For testing all the versions, and keeping his head cool when the first hardSPL killed his Wizard (beyond repair!), and for keeping on testing the new versions with his brand new Wizard!
Whiterat: For all his technical and moral support, without him it wouldn't have excisted.
Pof & Des: From whom I took the idea, and some of the scripts.
NB. This sSPL is not for G3, it will proceed with updating, but in the end OS will not be written, tested it with my own G3. Beware of the SPL/IPL (there is danger to flash G4 spl on your G3 due to the fact you are using a G4 sSPL, the RUU will probably think it's running from a G4 device!).
NB.2 If you want to mtty in stead of flashing a ROM, place mtty in the folder and rename it 2.exe
[EDIT:12-september 19:54] I updated the file for a confirmed working RC1 (v0.1) WITH the missing dll [/EDIT]
[edit] 23.09.07
Some people reported that enable rapi does not always work, if that is the case for you, you can try to replace the original enable-rapi with the one attached here.

Well Done Eqx and Well Done to everybody else involved.
I look forward to giving this a go.

First, you're welcome.
2nd Please keep in mind you need IPL/SPL 2.xx.00001 for WM6 (use the latest officcial one from your provider)
3rd It's not different from an ordinary flash, you can go back to any ROM that is G4 safe.
4rd G4 safe means no IPL/SPL (Extended ROM hasn't been tested yet)
Thanks bro
thanks bro for ur quick reply & i will try it as soon as TNT5 release.(inshaa-allah)

Thanks!! I wil post the results a soon as i flash a new ROM
Thanks!! It's 2:33 in the morning where I live and I just found this. Am trying now. Will report results.
I tried it and it didn't work. But it was probaly my fault.
Would anyone be so friendly posting some G4 Save-Roms. I think a lot of us guys aren't sure wich are save and wich aren't.
Thank you
thomme
My way
For anyone interested i did it like this!!!!
1. Flashed back to latest origenal rom.
2. Copied the file into shelltool directory to verify the ipl/spl status. (Normally most roms here dont have ipl/spl in it, never hurts to check though.
3. Used wizard service tool to make sure the enable rapi command is installed on device.
4. Copied the desired nk.nbf file into softspl (root) folder.
5. Ran the main exe file without errors and had wm6 flashed successfully.

I tried and it didn't work at all. I tried 3 times already from the time I downloaded the rar and still no success.
First time I tried it I had Titanium 2 installed and it was a no go even though the IPL/SPL were 2.26.0001
Then I tried twice using the official T-Mobile rom with IPL/SPL 2.26.0001 and followed the directions provided to a t and no success...
I am going to try once more tonight since it is 3:25am and then im giving up for the night.
Oh and I am trying to flash faria's rom. Think that might have something to do with it?

Here is exactly what my device is doing:
I flash back to the official T-Mobile WM5 rom for the 2.26.0001 IPL/SPL adn then let customization finish and then try to softSpl but with no success. On my MDA, it asks me to confirm something and the screen never turns white like it is supposed to do.
I have tried this several ways and on 2 different roms.
I have tried flashing back to T-Mobile official but skip customization 2 times and use softSpl to flash faria's rom and it failed. I tried once after waiting untill customization is complete and installing faria's rom and it failed once again.
I also tried installing cert_SPCS.cab and installing enablerapi.cab prior to running softSpl 2 different times, once before customization and once after customization. both times failed. this time I was using Black Diamond 2.0 instead of faria's rom to see if it was just the rom.
Not once did I ever get the white screen and not once did it flash successfully using this method.(At least not for me)

unlock device, what is it and how do you do it?

yesterday i upgraded my qtek 9000 and a brand new x7500. i want to install the 3.0 version on it. but ive read that i first have to unlock my x7500 before i can install 3.0. can someone send me a tutorial or something to do this? i really don t know where to start.......
Is your device locked to a specific mobile carier? Then you need to Unlock for using with other cariers.
Not sure if ROM upgrades require unlocking but they need HardSPL which is often found along with the ROM upgrade or in this forum separately.

hi. My device is NOT locked by a mobile carier. What is hardSPL?
For "unlock" your device you need the Athena Unlocker:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831
Without this you cant update an other ROM to your device.
Here is a wiki page about the hardslp (for hermes, sorry):

More questions?
bye
can i add you to my msn so we can talk for 10 minutes? I need some more info

There are plenty of threads on the subject - and everything is covered. If not then post questions here.
I really hate it when people ask to add me to MSN to answer questions because they can't be assed to RTFM
All I wanted was to have some direct (fast) chat. SORRY
I have bought an original HTC X7500 (not locked by any mobile carier, i think). All I would like to know are some basis steps WHAT I need to do in order to upgrade to 3.0 PK.
I ve just checked something and can give the following infomation. Maybe you guys can make something of this and what I will need to do:
ATHE100
IPL-v1.00
ATHE100
SPL-v1.10.0000
Have you actually read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346221 ?
there are tutorials including a video already on this available on this subject, read the thread that has been suggested and do a search for unlocker.
sorry if that sounds rude but theres plenty been written on this already lots of times, without people having to repeat themselves over and again
the video is very self explanatory
again guys, I m really sorry
So if I understand correctly I need OliPro's hardspl OR unlocker found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316846 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831.
Is it correct if I say that the unlocker does a SIMunlock AND CIDunlock, and the hardspl only does CIDunlock?
So now I only have to do is find out IF my device is SIMlocked or not? Do you maybe give me a hint how to check this?
Correct things if I m wrong please, and again, sorry......
If it's an HTC it won't be SIM locked - only carriers lock the phones to themselves.

1. Go to wiki, read everything concerning unlocker, upgrading rom, and radio. Read it carefully. If you're completely clueless, it's not going to give you a complete walkthrough, but should be read.
2. Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316846
Read first post and download Athena wrapper. Put all downloads in a folder you can easily find and distinguish from any roms or unlockers you may download.
3. Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319993
Download a radio. I'm using 1.50.00.00, i'm not sure where the new one is. Try different ones though, once your comfortable with the process, they say some radios work better in different areas.
4. Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346221
Read ALL of the first to posts. Download the ROM file. I would suggest the add-ons too, and see which ones you like.
5. You will have to extract all of these files. You will need Winrar to unpack the rom.
6. Backup any data you want to keep from your Athena. Remove mini SD and SIM. Hard reset your Athena, and select to format microdrive.
7. Be sure your Athena is fully charged. I don't think it has to be a complete charge, but it won't hurt. At least 60%.
8. Turn off all energy save options on your Athena. You don't want it to power down halfway through the operation. You will also need to disable any sleep\hibernatin modes on your PC.
9. You will need ActiveSync 4.5, Windows xp, and .net2.0 framework with all servicepacks. If your not sure about the framework, go to micrsoft and search for a download. Run the installer, if it says its already installed, select 'repair.' This is more than likely not necessary, but it won't hurt anything. Connect Athena to PC, and wait until its fully synchronized.
10. Run the Athena Wrapper. Follow all instructions. Its very simple, but do EXACTLY as it says.
11. Run the RUU file in the radio folder, follow all instructions.
12. Run the RUU file in the AP3 rom folder. Follow all instructions.
13. If desired, extract and run the add-ons.
14. Donate to Athena Project, or Pawel, or Olipro, or somebody.
15. If you screw this up, don't tell anyone, I wouldn't anyway.

Need some help before i brick my Hermes

Hi,
i was trying to upgrade my Hermes to WM6 and i was doing it according to mrvnx guide. First i tried the WM6 guide. Ipl was 1.01 and SPL was 1.11. Evrything went fine up until the part where the actual ROM was supposed to be flashed. The update pocess started, and i went for a smoke somewhere at 2%. When i came back, there was a message saying image file was corrupted, and Hermes was up and running. So, my first instinct was that i missunderstood something and that that guide was for phones already having WM6, so i decided to do the WM5 guide. I flashed the SPL, skipped the radio upgrade (cause i didn't know whether to use that version or the later one) and skipped to the next page. And, low and behold, there it says "Firstly download the WM5 ROM you wish to upgrade to"
And now i'm stuck and i don't know what to do. Should i get some WM5 ROM and first upgrade to it and then to WM6? Or should i go straight for WM6 ROM? If so, do i just follow the WM5 guide only using WM6 ROM or do i just flash it by the WM6 guide?
The phone still works with no problems at all. The desired WM6 ROM is Pays Full. Is it really corupted (got it from the "download full" link in the first post here), or was it my mistake?
Sim unlock and cid unlock your device then - http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
Download your carriers Rom (wm5 or wm6 - o2,orange,at&t etc)
then flash that.
then HARDSPL your device - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
then use modified updater to flash your device with the wm6/6.1 rom of your choice.. works fine for me.
2.10 bootloader with the "is it hardspl" checked and wa'la its updated
hope this helps.
Thanx for the answer. I doubt i'll find my carrier's rom, since i'm from Croatia, and i think it hasn't been posted here, and certainly hasn't been posted on my provider's site. I did make a backup before upgrading, and i have the three raw files made with itsutils. Will this do?
Also, could you please explain why i need to sim/cid unlock it? The device itself is not branded at all, i believe it's only locked to the provider's sim, and that's all. Does sim /cid unlocking cover that or is it about something else?
Thanx!
Sim unlocking = you can use other sims
CID unlocking = you can use other roms (maybe why your update is crashing)
HARDSPL = One less chance of bricking your device
as your device is still currently up and running im guessing you can do it all via that rom.
Ok, just so i don't missunderstand you, can i do what you suggested, but without flashing the carrier's rom?
you can, however you may encounter problems with wm6.1 in the future (hard resets etc)
OK to clear this thread up....
...make sure you have flashed HardSPL before continuing then...
...redownload the ROM it sounds like it has become corrupted whilst being downloaded so make sure you unzip the whole thing to a folder first then try it.
did everything like kingsizeriz told me, except i did it on the existing rom. uploaded the same rom i tried before and it worked like a charm. me and mates have been fiddling with it the whole evening and noticed no problems so far. Thanx for the help, much appreciated
Btw, one last question, is NK.EXE supposed to be 0 bytes?
