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.

ok, i swapped out every RUU i could find i get errors from

invalid vendor id
wrong update utility
im too new to figure this out ..can you extract a ipl / spl from an
official rom and then flash that to get the boot loader's back in sync
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.
Link to HardSPL : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332320
and G4 ipl and spl here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744
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

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.

i used the shell tool, but i just got stuck on the first splash after i did that.... here are device specs
Its a Cingular 8125, obivously g4
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 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,
Ajay

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

3. Install HardSPL or use SSPL
4. Flash to WM6

THAT MY FRIENDS, IS BRICKED....

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,

then suddenly the device lock wouldnt respond.

Sorry dude, not a good thing to hear but your device has a corrupt CID, not alot we can do about that
Might wanna try looking for a cheap replacment hermes on ebay or something?
mrvanx
I want to know what exactly does a corrupt CID mean?
as you know i have the same problem. Is CID a chip or something?
and about the motherboard replacement issue
I wrote several emails to imate support and told them my problem (SPL 2.03 IPL 1.04 NO GSM stuck at subsplash screen KITL disabled) and told them that everyone tells me that i have to replace my motherboard. they replied me that you DON'T need to replace your motherboard. your device just need to install wm5 in our service center in dubai. unfortunately it is too dificult for me to send my device to dubai.
well, after all failed, i've handed to tMob to fix...
lets see how much they ask for a charge to fix it....
since it was their "official rom" that f**kd it up anyway, i feel like they should give me a new fone.. wishful thinking...
OK, so T-mobile must be reading this thread or something because they just gave me a new Vario II. I believe that they could not re-instate my phone because it had been corrupted so badly.
I am happy with the new phone, seeing as mine was quite scratched up, however, i cannot fathom the fact that tMo put out a corrupt ROM for all their customers.
let this be a lesson to everyone....
dnt f**k with the original ROM!
CASE CLOSED!
congrats on the new phone. score one for the little guy.

Sorry but it was a messed up flash which corrupted the CID on the device, nothing to do with a corrupted ROM image. Suggest a more creful approach to flashing, no running processes....not USB hubs nothing which could mess with the flash at all.

on the contrary, i upgraded to wm6 fine, all was good for about 2 days, then one evening went to put in my code to unlock device and it just wouldn't do it, so i decided to reflash after many attempts.
so i did have wm6 running for about 2 days. then it got corrupt. update was succeful.. however the o/s was not stable.
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 )
MDA3 Blue Angel
MDA Artemis
MDA Touch
He All, I managed to resolve by reflashing using ROM 1.1 CID-locked edition by ppctuning.org by simply running it-
Thank you for allowing me to do a lot of reading fro this useful forum

help me ...
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.
IPL 1.15.0002
SPL 1.15.0000
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
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
