I am trying to upgrade my Wizard to WM6 with TouchFLO. I have been reading off and on and I don't know if the risk is worth it because this is my main phone. What is the safest way to go about doing this. What I got so far was doing a SoftSPL then loading the ROM with Wizard Service Tool I think?

Firstly, always have your stock ROM on hand, in case of any problem on flashing, you can always remove HardSPL and back to your original ROM.
If you're ready, then you can install HardSPL, then flash any WM6 ROM that you want (Note that the ROM must not contain IPL or SPL).
Read, read, and then read some more. SoftSPL or HardSPL matters little, but here's the difference:
If you want to flash your phone with WM6 ROMs again and again, then go with HardSPL.
If you want to flash back to original service provider ROM between flashes (more tedious, but safer), then just go with SoftSPL, since you'd have to remove HardSPL in order to flash back to an original ROM anyways.
Chances are, your phone is well beyond any warranty period, so I'd just make sure you have a [email protected]$$ backup phone to use if you kill your Wizard. I bought a pay-as-you-go phone as a backup for around $50.
FWIW, I recommend the TNT Professional ROM, after you've decided between SoftSPL and HardSPL
Yes my phone is beyond the warrenty period. It looks as if HardSPL is the better choice because once I flash it I doubt I would go back to the stock ROM. I can make a backup of my ROM with Wizard Tool correct?
I am trying to follow this guide: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
I don't see the information on how CID unlock the G4 version. Is it there and I am just looking past it? Also, that TNT ROM will work with the G4 correct?

Look towards the end of the guide,its clearly mentioned "G4 ONLY!"
G4 devices cannot be completely or permanently CID unlocked like G3,but they can be tricked into semi-Cid unlocked or temporarily through 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL'.
Yeah thats what I was missing about G4s not being able to be permantly CID unlocked. So I loaded TNT Professional on there, but I don't have TouchFLO and I get a few errors that pop-up when I soft reset. From what I read it sounds like I had a bad flash. I followed all the steps carefully though.

Is there a way to determine my bootloader version? I see "info 1" on the bootloader FAQ, but it returns nothing.
I have a Softbank X01HT with the JASJAM_telstra_1.31.305.2_1.31.305.103_1.20.31.10_ship burned to it. I thought the CID was stored in the ROM flash so I upgraded from the previous JASJAM ROM. Now I cant downgrade apparently. I have a 1.06 Bootloader right?
Here is some additional info:

Your device is SuperCID, you should be able to flash ANY rom. Can you paste the output of "task 32"? It shows the security level.
Did you use v3 of imei-check unlocker?

I used the only unlocker at the time for the X01HT.
Whats weird is it says I have Bootloader 1.04 but I cant change from:
JASJAM_telstra_1.31.305.2_1.31.305.103_1.20.31.10_ship (supposed to be BL 1.06)
down to
JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship
I was trying to downgrade to the 1.20 JASJAM to install EXT_ROM from Softbank.
When I couldn't downgrade I ran the IMEI-Check unlocker again. Maybe that changed my bootloader back down?
I will try to burn the Dopod ROM. That one has worked before.
Thank you for the help.
Really weird because your device has Seclevel=0 and SuperCID, this is a developer device able to flash any ROM without restrictions.
Did you use v3 of imei-check unlocker?? Probably they changed this on v3...
V3 Unlocker
Yes,
I used this ZIP:
M3100v3Unlock.zip
which contained this file:
M3100v3cUnlock.exe
Any other commands before I disconnect and flash? I hope flashing a ROM wont mess up my CID and Sec lvl.
Flashing rom will not touch CID and Seclevel.
This is new from v3 unlocker, they didn't do this before. CID stayed the same and SecLevel=FF (unpriviledged).

I can confirm this. I was using Bootloader 1.06 from the Cingular ROM. I did previosuly use IMEI-CHECK V2 unlocker before upgrading to the Cingular ROM. Couldn't downgrade to other ROMS.
Have now re-unlocked again using IMEI-CHECK V3 unlocker and now can downgrade as it has reverted me to 1.04 bootloader:

Unlocking an x01ht
Hi, First post, new to the forum,
I just moved to Tokyo and am going out today to by the softbank x01ht (at ~170$us, the gadget freak in me wont let me get something else that is bilingual)
Anyway I'm willing and minimially capable of paying and completing the imei unlocking process. I've only ever done pc and laptop flashing before so I may need a bit of a walk through on how to get this dump file your looking for.
I just have one quetion - if I unlock to a cid of supercid and security level 0, I understand that I can change my ROM to a nice user friendly English speaking ROM but will my hermes still work on my network (softbank) even though I will be operating a rom from another network in a different country.
Also is there an original sim/operator free ROM uploaded anywhere or is there any ROM you would recommend for me an english speaker on a japanese (softbank) network.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I'll do my best not too mess up the imei unlocking process dump in return.
Cheers

All of the ROMS will work for Softbank as I have tried pretty much all of them by now. All of the files you need should be on this forum/wiki or linked from here.
Here are the main ROM files.

I have only done this for about a week so its not too difficult. Need help just make a thread after searching for the answer first.
Have Fun.
is there a bootloader guide sorry for being a bit stupid but when i press the buttons to get it into boot mode all that is displayed on the screen is some colored lines and herm200 ipl-1.00 herm200 spl-1.04 am i doing it wrong
That is bootloader mode. You have to connect via USB with MTTY to give it commands.

This is Hard-SPL for the G4; flashing procedure is essentially the same as G3 although do make sure that the filesize you flash is 0xC0000 rather than the 1MB that people flash for a G3.
Cheers!
PS: while this has been tested and is known to work, I do not actually own a Wizard and so am relatively limited in the help I can offer with regard to issues you may have getting your device working or whatever
Great job Olipro! Stickied.
Damn nice! One step closer to a real cid-unlock You are great!

This is one is the patched SPL file alone (the original). The other is the 'spoon feed' version meaning you just need to run a file once and all the job is done nice and easily...
PS:
One thing i find hard to understand is why this thread was made sticky a few minutes after being posted and the other two from The Equinox (sSPL and HardSPL), who are meant to be easy to handle and error proof for noobs weren't, even though they have proven to be of great help and acceptance.
Are we here for the good of all or is the status quo a relevant issue? (off the chest...sorry)

Have you tried the Mun RUU in the Hard SPL posted in TS of the Hard SPL thread?
How does the Soft SPL work?
is it possible to use it even with my SPL? (see signature)

I have an extra 8125 laying around so I thought I would play with it. I applied your update and I am going to assume I can upgrade the 8125 to WM6 as long as the IPL and SPL doesnt change. I have looked at some other post on this site and there seems to be options in wich you can upgrade the IPL/SPL and still CID and SIM unlock the 8125. At the present with the solution from this thread I have the 8125 Sim unlocked.
total noob here

With IPL/SPL 2.17.0001 and running NBD 9 series,which is a wm6 rom,it must have be upgraded through 'SoftSPL' method,now you can change the rom either with SoftSPL or if you want to get your phone semi-CID unlocked,you can apply 'HardSPL',it'll flash patched IPL/SPL to make it semi-CID unlocked,remember,a G4 device cannot be permanantly CID unlocked like a G3 phone,but you'll be able to flash any wm6 or 6.1 rom easily with HardSPL.
HardSPL method is done only once and after that you can flash and change rom easily,where as,with SoftSPL,you'll have to do the Flash every time through SoftSPL,but it doesn't change the original Bootloaders (IPL/SPL).
The choice is your !

please help me out and tell me the right path to go on...

2- if yes then what are the exact files and exact method to do all that?
3- I NEED IT URGENTLY.... I MEAN THE ANSWER.?

Hold your horses here! if its a G4,it cannot be CID unlocked,there's no free solution for this,the only other way to get it upgraded is through 'HardSPL' or 'SoftSPL', both the methods are posted as stickies in this G4 forum,read and do it correctly.

hahahh. Yeh I managed it. Illusion is a dangerous enemy. My saying.
Well over a year ago I bought the MDA-Vario and back then promptly flashed the rom to remove T-Mobile default. I installed MR.Clean Rom, after a few months of medium usage I completely forgot about the device and never used it.
Found it again the other day and came back here so I could upgrade/flash it so I can use the device as SatNav on the latest rom/build.
I can confirm that my device is G4:

Now, I am having great difficulty searching these forums because after not being around here for so long I don't even know what I'm searching for.
I have been reading different posts/guides since last night pretty thoroughly and I haven't gotten any closer to figuring out what I need to do etc.
I would like a fast/simple/clean G4 WM6 Rom, so far I have been unable to find one on these forums aswell (Why? Read the 2 previous paragraphs.. I honestly do not know what I'm looking for regarding compatibility with my device etc)
I understand I probably have to revert my rom to the T-Mobile original and start from there.
Please can somebody link me to the files I need, including roms/programs/guides.
Better still add me to MSN cr0sis at hot*mail d0t c0 d0t uk *(Not bothered about having this email listed publically, I never use it as email at all)*
Well,its not that hard to find what you are looking for,To upgrade read and follow either 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' posted as stickies on the top of this thread.
To get a rom of your choice,look in the 'Wizard Mobile6' forum,all the latest custom build wm6 or 6.1 roms are safe for flashing a G4 phone.
I managed to figure out Shelltool (despite a ton of broken download links etc)
and successfully flashed TNT 19213. I was getting too many errors (on first boot "Timesomething not working" blah blah, then a lot of programs it claimed to have installed simply did not work (No icons in program viewer or anything).
Anyway, not here to complain about a specific rom not working, so I'll just get on with trying another. Shelltool seems to be the only working flash tool out there, and since last night I have tried a lot of different methods to the exact guide instructions.
I need to go through a list of the roms I can find which ARE successfully linked to still (Again, so many broken links on here it's unreal!). I'll report back when I've cracked it and got a rom I can actually use.

Ok, I ****ed up during a flash. Won't go into detail of how/what I did but basically, I need the original MDA-Vario Rom for T-Mobile or I can't continue, Anyone know a working link please??
SoftSPL works. You do need a ROM that boots tho - if whatever you try to load DOESN'T boot you're screwed and left on the tricolor screen, and need an ORIGINAL load for that device (with the proper CID) to recover.
DO NOT screw around with loading things on a G4 unit without a proper CARRIER ORIGINAL firmware file you can use to recover with if something goes wrong.
Guess why I know this.....
Hehe Hmm, I wonder.
Well, yeah, I know this too now. But I wasn't screwing around I just had really bad luck because less than 20 seconds after starting shelltools I had a power surge followed by a brief power cut, effectively "Removing the USB cable during this operation" which of course we all know full well not to do
So I can use SoftSPL even when stuck in bootloader/RGB screen? I'll need a little help on how because I get "unable to copy files, try again?" dialogue. Gone into Activesync, told it not to accept USB connections, Killed activesyncs exe file in running processes in task manager and still no joy. Then again, do I really need to use SoftSPL if what I'm doing now is only putting on my carriers original rom (Yes, I found it.. Eventually! The rapishite links weren't working for me at the time, strange that suddenly they all started to late last night)
No, you need to get a copy of a valid firmware file for the unit and carrier you have, and flash that - then, once you've done that and its running again, use SoftSPL again.
SoftSPL will NOT work from the tricolor screen.
Ok this is going to sound really dumb but:
Stuck in bootloader completely
I have my devices original rom
Extracted the nk.bf file
Ran shelltools, it froze
Ran RUU, Errors (Possibly wrong .dll version, I'm not sure?)
I am following all the wrong guides because not one is telling me how to flash when stuck in bootloader, with what program or version.
My head is fried
If you have an ORIGINAL carrier ROM (which is an EXE, self-extracts and then runs the RUU that is in it) you can run that from the tri-color screen and it will flash successfully.
Don't try to extract anything or get cute with the carrier ROM - just run the loader (the EXE) and it should self-extract and execute.
You CANNOT flash a cooked rom from the tricolor screen on a G4 phone. It won't work - the loader will complain about being an invalid file or device and quit.
You need an ORIGINAL carrier ROM load for that phone - not a cooked one. Load it, go through the startup (screen cal, etc) and then use SoftSPL again.
Ok well I thought I had the correct original Rom for this device, but after 3 times trying to flash it to my device by just running the .exe I get
Error[294] Invalid Vender ID

Nevermind, seems I was linked to the G3 version in a G4 thread. Goddamnit.
I can't find the G4 version so I'm going to try and flash Wizard_Love rom.
In the days of SoftSpl and HardSPL, messing with RAPI tools like Shelltool is really risky. You should have taken more time with the wikis and guides.
Now you must use an official RUU (from your provider) or you won't be able to recover your phone (since it's G4 and it's CID locked)
Ok Brightrom installed, no panic anymore
Easier than I was first led to believe after spending a little more time figuring out the guides.

And today after a greatly anticipated arrival of my new miniSD card, my device completely destroyed it! I switched off the wizard, plugged the card in, switched on, noticed the card was really hot within a matter of seconds.. card wasn't readable in the Wizard/PC/Card reader/Digital Camera/Second phone...
I already stuck it in my Card reader after unpacking it just to be sure it was working...
Anyway, I'll buy two more lol. Could just be that I bought a ****ty card.
Anyone know where to get the latest TomTom + UK map?
I have a HTC HERM200, I did a hard reset, the problem is that no radio version and no protocol version displayed device information in parameters and of course impossible to operate my pocket pc as a phone and call using it !
I tried the hard spl 7.
for the 'info 7', this is the result :
HTC Integrated Re-Flash Utility, Common Base Version : 1.51d
Device Name: HERM100, Bootloader Version : 2.10.Olipro

CPU ID=0x41129200
Main CPLD version=0x5
Upper CPLD version=0x4
Main Board version=0x6
(in windows, my version of herm is 200, here with the info_7 command it is herm100 !)
when typing 'rtask a', the answer is always command error !!!
how can I install the radio and is there a good version of WM6 compatible with my reference ?? if you can help me this will great for me
thanks !!!
Try reinstalling the shipped rom. You can also try a radio only rom but if neither of these 2 things work, you have a brick on your hands...
Sorry...
reinstalling shipped rom
thanks ultramag69 for your reply,
where can I download a good functional and compatible version for the shipped rom to my herm200 and how to proceed. I tried different version with unsuccess.
I tryed the 'HERM_Radinly_1.56.70.11_CustomRUU' using my sdcard proceeding with renaming the file .nbh to HERMIMG.nbh, the setup stopped at about 10%, and still there for more then 2 hours !!
installing with the usb cable stop always with error#262!
I wish I have a brick on your hands, this means that there is a way to recover the phone operational state !!
"Shipped ROM" means the rom that came on your Hermes. Generally a carrier has its own rom (you should be able to find on the carriers website).
Since you have Hard SPL on your Hermes use the sd card method.
1. format sd card fat32, copy .nbh file onto it & rename to "hermimg.nbh". Put back in Hermes.
2. Reset into bootloader - hold power,, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. hold in until tri-colour screen comes up.
3. If you did 1st 2 steps properly then follow the prompts.
This may take a while for the radio to install so give about 20-30 mins. Make sure you do this with a charged battery.
If this doesn't work then I'm sorry, but you have a brick...
You can still install an OS only rom but you won't have phone functionality again...
You can also try a radio only rom.. Above conditions apply...
Good Luck.
