I had a G4 unit load improperly and now have a tricolor screen.
BUT - AT&T no longer has the firmware for this device on the web page! The links they publish are broken and HTC doesn't have it on THEIR page either (THEIR links are broken.) I can't find it here either, so now I have a tricolor screen with no way to recover.
Does anyone have ANY original Cingular 8125 firmware for the G4 devices that I can access and load so I recover this unit?
Thanks in advance.
Update: Damn, HTC support is open 24x7, and FOUND THE FILE!
Jesus, now I know why I buy hardware made by these guys!

Hey guys...I believe my G4 device is bricked yet still recoverable.
I was flashing the htc 8125 update today to my wizard from the vanilla WM6 ROM. (Yes I want to go back to originial WM5).
I'm still quite new to this whole flashing scene, but that's besides the point.
I tried using the EXE of this ROM:
RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.e xe
and after that didn't work I believed that maybe I should try using shelltool, which I used for the Vanilla WM6 ROM.
It went for about 35 minutes...then I decided to pull the cable. Shelltool said it completed the flash..so I hard reset the device. It didn't get past the cingular splash screen.
Only until later did I start believing that this was a G3 only ROM.
I'm still unsure whether it was g3 or g4, but my device is a G4.
I believe i can still get into bootloader(the 3 color screen I believe it is), but can't connect to the USB to flash any other ROM, or so I believe.
When I plug in the USB the device shows that it is connected, yet the computer doesn't do anything.
I have no idea, i've been searching google, searching XDA with google, maybe just not using the right words.
the device
SPL/SPL is 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS(Believe it is displaying the OS it was supposed to be AFTER flash): 2.25.11.1
Can anyone direct me down the right path?
Flash with your original stock ROM, then SoftSPL/HardSPL and proceed with the update.
Hi guys!
Apologies if this has been posted before, but I've scoured the forum in vain. Please point me to an existing thread if there is one!
I just tried upgrading my Wizard G4 to TNT5.0 TouchFlo and it didn't quite go to plan...
I was trying out this method and it got all the way through and told me it had finished, but there was some message on my device screen, I can't remember what it said - something about a file not being found or something. It wasn't the one mentioned in the instructions, so alas, it didn't twig and i reset my device
Now I can't get it to go past the screen with the O2 logo and the ipl/spl info. I downloaded Wizard_Love ROM but I can't get it to work. When I reset the phone, the computer does pick it up as a USB device, but as soon as the IPL/SPL text appears, it disconnects again (according to the tone from Windows) so I don't have a chance to run the app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Should I just buy a new one?
The ShellTool method is deprecated and should not be used any more as there is high possibility to fail...
You should now get the Original O2 WM5 ROM to restore your original WM5, then use HardSPL or SoftSPL to flash WM6.
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.
Hi:
I have "Cingular" HTC 8125 G4 Model.
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
I tried to upgrade to WM6 it failed at 99% with error message (ERROR 302 - UPDATE ERROR).
All I was seeing was boodloader screen (Green, blue, red) for a while. Then my phone totaly went dead and now it won't even charge (not sure if I need to buy new battery or what).
If by buying new batter I get the bootloader screen. The best bet for me at this point will be to flash back to WM5 ROM. I found below link (reading previous posts) but that link doesn't work.

Can anyone please point me to a URL/FTP site etc where I can find the WM5 ROM (cigular).
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated........thx

I don't want to be rude but please do a little search work first before you post... but here is the wiki thread about the original ROMs
WIKI - Download Link Broken -
Hi:
I had checked the wiki link before and apprently the download link was broken. That's the reason I"m looking to see if anyone still have the original Cigular ROM (WM5 - G4) executable or valid URL.

A little more searching will get you allot farther don’t take it personal it’s just frustrating to see so many posts for something that even I linked in the past 30 days.
Check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...72&postcount=8
MyHTC - Thanks
Hi:
Thanks so much for providing the valid WM5 (ROM) link. You'r the best.
Three days ago, I would flsh my t-mobile mda vario II with wm 6.5 fraom tai. I thaught, the flash was well, but when I made a hard-reset, the mda stopped during booting. I can see the t-mobile start-scree and then the windows mobile-screen, then boot stopped.
I can't get contact with active sync, I can't flash with RuuWrapper. I always got the Error 200.
When I want to flash from SD-Card, I saw at first the 4 colour screen then a grey screen with loading und the the numbers 00068002, after this the four-colour-screen shows
HERM300
IPL-1.04
HERM300
SPL-2.03
I want to go to summer-holiday in three days and I want to use the mda as a navigation tool.
So I need your help to reanimate the mda.
bienchenmeier
Yesterday I use the t-mobile image from the wiki. Update starts but then I got the "Error 294" - wrong vendor-ID. How can I see the vendor-id of the mda?
I need your help, cause I want to go to holiday on friday.

Mate you broke the No.1 rule - HARD SPL YOUR HERMES BEFORE FLASHING.....
Unless you have the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM you won't be able to fix this in a hurry. Why don't people READ anymore, its not like there aren't warnings written EVERYWHERE on this site about Hard SPLing your Hermes...
Hope you can borrow a GPS or you'll need to purchase one as I don't see this getting fixed before Friday.
I believe that's right.

But how can I get an original shipped stock rom. I've talking with htc and t-mobile. both of them have any ROM for Hermes.
Is there anyone who can help with an original rom?
