Alright I know for alot of you it can get very difficult to decide what will happen to your Wizard if you upgrade it. I am no stranger to it either. I looked and looked and looked...I didn't want to turn my phone into a brick anymore than you do right now. it took some time and question asking. I finally decided to give you what took me a while to find. a way to upgrade your G4 only device and to unlock your phone safely. G4 is a bit more difficult to upgrade since it can brick so easily. I had a G3 as well...I didn't brick it, it got dropped and the screen broke. However, it was alot easier to upgrade than my G4 was. So Here you go. I will post the proper links to help you get your phone safely upgraded and Hard SPL (CID Unlocked) so you can flash your choice of Rom's. Use this if you have never unlocked your phone before or don't know if your phone is unlocked.
WARNING...THIS IS DESIGNED FOR G4 DEVICE WIZARDS ONLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPGRADE WITH A G3 DEVICE. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
If you follow this line for line...you should not have any problems.
1. go to this link and download the Wizard Service tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
Install the Wizard Service tool. after you have installed it, with your phone connected to active sync, you will open the wizard service tool and click on the top button "enable rapi + unsigned apps".
now you will click on device info. it will tell you if your device is unlocked and if you have a G4 or not. IF THE WIZARD SERVICE TOOL SHOWS YOU HAVE A G3 DEVICE STOP NOW!!! PROCEEDING FURTHER CAN AND WILL CAUSE UNDO HARM TO YOUR DEVICE.
I recommend disconnecting your active sync connection, deleting your partnership, but DON'T DELETE the favorites folder. this will have your contacts in it and you will be able to retrieve any lost contacts. as well as your favorites folder with internet explorer. Reconnect your phone to usb and when you have the option to form a partnership with active sync, click "Cancel", this will put you on as a guest.
2. Now you will need to download the HardSPL package from Here
Once downloaded, open the program. make sure you have an active sync connection as "Guest". A small box will pop up with one button that says "CHECK DOC" click on that button. It will check your phone again, once it realizes it is a G4 Phone, it will proceed to install a Soft SPL so it can complete a Hard SPL upgrade. (follow the prompts. There will be a DOS based page that will pop up. and as long as your screen turns white on your device, you are ok.) this will take approximately 1 minute. Your phone will automatically reset when it does, your ipl will say 2.21.001 and your spl will say 2.21.Olip. as long as it says that, your phone is CID unlocked.
NOTICE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPGRADE YOUR PHONE'S IPL/SPL TO ANY OTHER THAN THE ABOVE. IT CAN AND WILL DO UNDO HARM TO YOUR DEVICE.
Now for upgrading your Radio. I will give two links to radio's to upgrade with. These Radio's are decent radios and do not have the IPL/SPL with them so they are safe to upgrade to. I will also link a Rom Upgrade Utility (RUU) so you can upgrade the Radio's Safely.
Radio 3.02.11: Link (known to drain Battery Life. You Be the Judge of that)
Radio 2.69.11: Link
RUU: Link This Utility does NOT have ipl/spl just copy your radio Nk.nbf to this RUU and flash.
I hope this will Help you to upgrade your G4 Device. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I will attempt to answer them to the best of my ability.
Thanks to those that have already had alot of this around the forums:
Double_ofour
Cracing
Vippie: for the tutorial on upgrading the wizard.
and to those that set up links to download the roms and radios that are not mentioned.
After I have done all of this, can I upgrade the rom now to Cracings 6.5? I have done it many times on my G3 but was too afraid on my wifes G4 until your tutorial. It still doesnt say cid or supercid unlocked when I run the Wizard tool. But, it does have the same Ipl and Spl that you have in your signature. Does this mean that it is unlocked? Thanks for your reply and tutorial.

Wizard tool reads the cid block, which isn't changed by the hard-SPL.
The Hard SPL never reads the CID block while updating, but always gives the RUU the response that it is SuperCID due to a patch.
That is why Hard SPL works while updating, but Wizard tool doesn't report SuperCID.
Grab the Hard SPL and full tutorial from this thread

Thanks equinox for your response. It looks like I'm free to upgrade to a different Rom. Quick question. "After upgrading Rom, if I want to upgrade to a different Rom, do I do something else? Or now that my IPL and SPL are hard coded can I just change from Rom to Rom to Rom?" Thanks!

You now can change to ALMOST any ROM.
Make sure that the ROMs don't contain (only) G3 IPL/SPL, as the old TMobile and Old Qtek ROMs did.
Many people who have ignored to read that line have bricked their device due to flashing of a G3 SPL/IPL to a G4..

Thanks Equinoxe for the assist...yes i failed to note that once the work was done that the device could have a G4 safe rom flashed to it. I hope this worked for him because I could not find the info for quite some time. apparently you have done a tutorial and I was unable to locate it. Not trying to step on toes...there are alot of threads on here and it is difficult to locate the correct thread we need. Just wanting to make sure that others don't brick their device...I know i don't

Hi,
I have Qtek 9100 with IPL 1.01 and SPL 2.20.0001. When I switch on divice, it displeyed color screen and nothing more. I flash it whit many ROM's but IPL/SPL always is the same and did't work normal. How can I resolve the problem. Thanks!
Only with a JTAG device. It's a special device that can access the chips without the need for the phone to be working. But nobody knows which are the JTAG pins so no luck here.
The IPL 1.xx is meant for the G3 DOC chip Wizards and G4 all have IPL/SPL starting at 2.xx.xxxxx. Since IPL is the firt bootloader with information and addresses for SPL and since they don't match you'll never get out of that situation...
Thanks for reply. I have JTAC device and will try to find jtag pinouts for Wizard G4.

Try..
(1) put the phone in bootloader mode
(2) flash it with cingular 1.x radio (search for it)
you should get a normal device in the end
best of luck!

Please help, i never did this. how do i flash the phone if my comp does not recognise it (i can only enter the bootloader screen).
You should
1) Flash only IPL/SPL from g4 (f.e. 2.26.0001) to get your SPL/IPL the same with italian RUU 2.5.2
2) Flash ROM without IPL/SPL italian RUU 2.5.2

how do you compare that with Atom
Hi,
I have got O2 Arom.
does anyone know whether my device is equivelent to G3 or G4?? or its completely diff technology that cannot be compared!!!
I know O2 Atom is by Quanta and it uses CPLD (Complex programmble Logic Design!! I hope i remember this right).
this can't be compared at all, totally different technology. there is a whole separate section for the atom. just go to the forum root page and look for the atom.
Well, despite all the step by step instructions that i tried to follow, i managed to get a G4 stuck on bootloader... Here's what happened:
Device:
Qtek 9100
IPL: 2.18.0001
SPL: 2.18.0001
SIM and CID locked to Optimus Carrier (Portugal)
1.- I connected the wizard to the pc and syncronized it trough activesync 4.5;
2.- I then copied and instaled, in this order, the files Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab to the phone memory;
3.- I powered the phone off and on again and let it syncronize with the pc;
4.- I instaled the new rom directly from the file "TouchNoEvil_4mb" that i got from the forum;
5.- Until 99% the progression bar was blue but then it became red and it gave a conection error on the pc;
6.- Now when i power it on it starts the bootloader and if i connect the usb cable it recognizes it on the bottom of the screen.
I think at this point the solution to start it up again, because it's cid locked, must be instaling the original carrier rom (Optimus Portugal) and then start all over again...
The only problem it's that i can't find the Optimus Portuguese original rom anywhere, so if somebody knows where to find it i'll be gratefull for the information.
Also if there's a solution to install a rom in bootloader mode to cid locked G4 (with wm6 and touch flo) i would be very thakfull.
All help is welcome, thanks in advance,

You didn't use SoftSPL/HardSPL before flashing WM6.
Get yourself the stock ROM (i.e. Qtek WM5) for your device, then use it to restore your original OS.
After that, install SoftSPL/HardSPL, then you can flash WM6.
Hi there. My main question is exactly that, will it take the Qtek WM5 original rom, being sim and cid locked???? I don't want to brick it....
Best regards,
Hugo Costa
If you afraid, you can use Typho5 to extract the nk.nbf inside the RUU package (You can decompress it by WinRAR) and see if it has 2 pairs of IPL and SPL. If it is, then the ROM can be flashed to a G4.
Ok, thank you, I'll give it a try and report...
Hi

1. "old method" for "old roms"
= Flash PVtemp (everytime), then upgrade wm6 (must follow my steps.......in my post),
2. "new method" for "new roms"
= Flash HardSPL (only needed once), then upgrade to wm6 or 6.1
ok now?

That iS the point! You HAVE to prepare your S200 first before you can upgrade to WM6. With only factory defaults you are NOT able to succeed.
So I second dioxda2's advice:
read all the guides, WIKI's and other relevant information here before you dive into the deep... But hee, afterall its your phone....

this is a common error when the pathname is to long. Copy the Folder to your rootdirectory (C:\) of your PC and run upgrade.bat from that location.

That too is a common problem, with this version of WM6 password just don't "stick". The problem is with all WM6 ROM's of that generation, not only the one you flashed. There is no solution, just don't use a password. The newest ROM's seem to have solved this issue, but I can't confirm that because I don't use a password anyway.
So, now you are stuck. Do a Hard Reset and configure your device again.

Your device is pretty much useless... You could try contacting Olipro (do a search of members), but he will charge for any service he does...
Other than that, I can think of no way of getting it back up and running. There may be some MTTY commands, but nothing obvious.
thank you
i tried to contact olipro but no answer yet
I search on the forum some information conserning MTTY but without the wiki there is no command interesting for my problem do you have a site about command MTTY or the procedur maybe to change the SLP G3 to a G4.
OR maybe there is an hardware methode to reset the SLP ???

In theory, there is JTAG that can write direct to the Hardware, but no one has ever managed to get that to work...
I don't know any MTTY commands nor do I know where to find them, but I think there is a way to write direct to the memory...
In theory there might be the JTAG option, but the DOC wich is used in the regular prophet doesn't allow the JTAG connection...so if you don't have a "beta" Prophet there won't be a possibility of using Jtag
Hi guys I need some help. I have a Cingular HTC 8125, I was trying to upgrade the rom on it to a new WM6 and here is what happened.
I have been researching the topic for about 3 weeks.
Its a G4 Device being upgraded with VISTA w/ Moded drivers for Ative SYNC
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
I used the shell tool to install one of the roms waited about 2 hrs and finally noticed that the window was NOT RESPONDING so I had to shut down and start over. The phone got to the second screen but froze there now showing
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811
On the Cingualr Background, I can still enter the Bootloader screen but nothing else?
Nothing else happens I cant connect the phone to the PC to do anything else.
Is it bricked or not is my question and what can I do to flash OEM rom or something that will work.
I tried OEM Cingular rom but I get ERROR 260 No connection to the phone?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Bricked phone
You should had firstly either hardspl or soft spl the phone b4 trying to load any rom
It's not bricked as long as you can see the RGB screen (Colors red, green and blue)showing the same IPL/SPL such as yours; IPL: 2.25.0001 and SPL: 2.25.0001. AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR DEVICE CAUSE ITS G4 MEANING YOU CAN NOT JUST INTALL/FLASH ROM. Make sure that the Rom you flash not contain G3 IPL and SPL which is 2.xx.001. If so, then you will bricked your device.
Desiji is right, you should install rom with softSPL or hardSPL.
Try to flash the Official Cingular Rom or Wizard Love Rom. If success, then you can install other Rom using what desiji said. Just make sure that its a G4 safe rom. And another thing, try to charge battery using wallcharger not in the device. U need enough battery to perform rom flashing.
Hope this help revive your Wizard.
esdee007
WOW !
grrrrr8,you are a quick learner
CateraMV6
Yeah ! I certainly agree with esdee007 and desiji
Thanks
Hey guys thanks, thats what I thought but I think my main problem is the VISTA I need to get a hold of XP and try all that because the Vista is having issues with connecting to the phone at the moment, I can not get it to show it as a device. It does make a beep noise when you connect/disconnect it so its doing something but Vista is just too much of a pain in the rear to deal with.
Its a good news that its not bicked so all hope is not lost.
What is the opinion on Tmobile WING!? any reviews should I get that phone instead?
BTW where do I find these G4 Safe ROMS? and how do I tell if they have the IPL/SPL in them? Do I need to hack them to tell?
And is Soft or Hard recommended?
YUP ! sure vista is still not compatible for flashing,WinXP is highly recommended and trouble free.
All official stock roms are safe to flash both the devices G3 or G4,secondly,all the latest custom build wm6 or wm6.1 are safe for both the devices,as they don't include any IPL/SPL in them.
If you plan to flash many roms,than 'HardSPL' is recommended,coz its done only once and the device remains semi_Cid unlock untill you personally remove HardSPL,but with SoftSPL,its done everytime you want to flash a new rom,choice is all yours,how you want to go about it.
