OK Guys. Problem Solved : Dead devices due to tmob 1.72 + Downgrade
Problem: New version changes Device ID, as well as ID format.
If you upgrade to tmob 1.72, you cannot downgrade back, as you cannot supply valid NBF files for the new device ID. If you try to play around, you end up with a very dull bootloader screen "Serial V.1.06", and nothing more can be done. SD card images cannot be flashed due to the same reason.
Untill our developers come up with a simple tool, the following 2 solutions can be used to get out of the disaster:
Solution 1:
(tested and 100% working for both dead devices stuck in bootloader and devices working but stuck with the tmob 1.72 version.)
You will need a working device (with old ROM before 1.72), besides your dead one.
1. Prepare your DEAD device in Bootloader mode. Don't connect it yet. (If it is still working but you want to downgrade, press Power+Action+Stylus, if it is already stuck in bootloader, just reset with stylus).
2. Connect your WORKING device, with OLD version via activesync.
3. Start the rom installation of your choice normally, with a version compatible with this WORKING device (Official or Modified NBF files via HymaUpgradeUT). If you don't know what I am talking about, just use your official file downloaded from your WORKING devices' provider).
4. Press NEXT, untill you are presented with the Current version and the one that will be installed. DO NOT click "UPGRADE" yet. (If you got an error so far, you are not using the correct version for your working device.)
5. When you get the dialog with the versions, disconnect the WORKING device from the craddle and connect your DEAD device, in bootloader mode.
6. Click "UPGRADE" and go get yourself a drink.
Et Voila.
Thanks to Victor for inspiring this solution.
Solution 2:
If you don't have another working device, and only have a dead one stuck in BootLoader, you can flash the attached image, through SD card. It will bring back your device to life with the BETA tmob 1.72 CE ROM.
Write the image to the card using "NTRW". Info on SD images and NTRW can be found in this forum.
Unfortunately, i don't have device even with working bootloader And it stuck in TMObile screen
I am sorry I have no solution for screwed Bootloaders, but if your device loads into the tmob screen, there must be something there still working. The only thing I can advise is to try to hard reset and not go into the extended ROM setup files (Soft Reset right after the Hard Reset and welcome procedure), but I guess you don't reach that far ....
What is about for XDA 1?
HI !
I have a Dead XDA. The bootloader is OK. How can I do with it ?
I need some advice for doing it, please !
Best reguard,
Carlo & Victor... You are GREAT!!
Okey.... I will try FIRST!!
please, where is the officiale t mobil rom ? we all have the beta (and thee pb you solve) but not the official one...
thanks
When i posted the T-mobile 172 rom i did not know how much greif it would cause people, sorry to everyone for this
As to the second solution using the SD card is it possible to use this method on a working XDA2.
Basically i have a UK XDA2 and of corse i getthe ID error if i run the upgrade, i dont understand very well how to change the ID part so could i just make the SD card with the rom on it and follow your instructions to recover a dead XDA2
Thanks
John
What should I do when I want to upgrade/downgrade...
I have the T-Mobile 1.72WWE rom installed.
Everything works ok for now, no problems.
But do I need to do when I want to upgrade/downgrade?
I don't have a second device so thats not an option
Please advise.
Thanks
To cairo31male!!
NOP!! Can't HELP!! Maybe the BOOTLOADER got the diffrent version? Mine is 1.03. Can u tell me how to upgrade the bootloader to 1.06?
And you mentioned about OLD version, what do you mean by that?
@hcnsoft:
The 2 solutions described above are for XDA 2's which have been screwed up by installing / uninstalling the latest beta version tmob 1.72. If this is your situation, and you have a working bootloader, both solutions should work for you.
@SEB152030:
The beta we have is 1.72, which caused all these problems. If you have another working device, as described in solution 1, you can revert back to the latest working official ROM (1.66), just follow the steps decribed above and use the official 1.66 upgrade program.
@applecom:
If your XDA 2 is dead, there is no harm in trying. But basically, this SD file will only work on devices that have already been upgraded to 1.72 and then died. If it is dead because of any other reason, I suggest you stick with older stable versions and don't try to mess up with 1.72 for now, until the developers come up with a simple tool to go back and forth between different roms. You can flash SD images that were made from other working devices that have your same model/language. You wouldn't get any errors that way.
@Panja:
Since your device is working, I suggest you wait a couple of days, before trying anything. The developers might come up with a simpler solution. If you absolutely have to downgrade, you can follow the solution 1 described above, but you will need another working device for a few minutes. Use the other working device which has the old ROM installed and start the OLD ROM installation software, then plug in your device with the 1.72 ROM AFTER you get the different versions dialog with the button "UPGRADE".
@Ivan-R: which method are you tying? Solution 1 or 2? FOr the first solution, I guess it should work. For the SD flashing, I beleive you should have Bootloader 1.06. How to get that one, I don't know, but I strongly advise against it, untill all this matter is clear, as each new version of the bootloader implements stricter security, which will make it harder to customize in the future.
OLD version means any version before 1.72

I already try BOTH solution!! Solution 1, i try with ROM 1.03.11, which is thats the basic ROM. Solution 2, the RESULT is Not Allowed UpDate!!
So i guess this is the matter of BOOTLOADER!! Yours is 1.06 and me 1.03. THATS THE PROBLEMO NOW!! Now... How about upgrade the BOOTLOADER??
[email protected]#$!%G FREAK ROM!! :evil:
Mas Ivan,
Sebaiknya anda jangan menggunakan sd image yang di upload karena masih beta untuk menghindari kesalahan pada rom 1.72
thanks cairo for the info, my xda is working with the standard rom, Our only problem is me and the guy that got the rom in the first place would like to use it but we cant
anyway thanks for youe info

Solution 1
Solution 1 don't work for me because (I think) 2 version of bootloader 1.03 and 1.06.....
I found a solution : Here
Radio Stack Downgrade
I loaded the 1.72 Beta and would like to keep it, but the Radio Stack is horrible for me. I need to go back to the O2 launch version of the radio stack. I noticed in the O2launch Rom that the contents of the exe file included Radio.nb while the 1.72 exe contained Radio.nbf.
Is it safe for me to try and downgrade only the radio stack and if so should i use the launch version of himalaya upgrade or the 1.72 version of himalaya upgrade to install the launch radio.nb file?
Can anyone give me some advice here? My radio is barely functional. can't find networks where i know there is coverage. Thanks for any advice.

Go go go... Just downgrade it!! 8) Then you will join me in HERE!! Huahahahaha... You are STUCK for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!!
Didn't have any trouble downgrading
I just upgraded to 1.72 last week...hated it...gprs was WAY too slow. Today I downgraded and crossed my fingers back to Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe (filename..not sure where i got it).
IT WORKS!! everything went fine and is fine.
I think my bootloader said it was something like version 1.01 (very hard to read that screen without the backlight) So I'm guessing this downgrade problem may be specific to bootloader versions.
No expert, just letting you know what i did.
This site is amazing. Thanks for everything.

I AGREE WITH YOU!! BOOTLOADER thang'!! I am not EXPERT too, but I REALLY NEED SOME HELP HERE!!
Hi,
Thanks for all help!
I have a dead unit due to 1.72 ROm.
Itried to fool the himalya upgrade program with a soft reset as suggested in another thread, it works It gets trough the device id but stops when erasing rom, any suggestion?
Is there anyone out ther that can disassamble the himalyprogram and
make a small program without error checking?
I also have bootloader 1.06 and tried also "ntrw write ROM.nb1 H:"
It works writing the image but my bootloader don´t loads any rom.
Tried with 2 differnet SD cards, and soft reset, hardreset, and only pushing camera button, without succes, what is the right command?
Any more suggestions?
@nilron:
Press ARROW KEY (any direction on joystick) + POWER Button + SOFT RESET, all together, then wait a little. You should get instructions to press POWER to start flashing.
First, I'd like to thank all of the people on this forum, as without the forum itself I wouldn't be able to do anything
I've had my G4 Wizard for less than a month, and it's already unlocked and flashed. To all of the people who don't know how to flash I can only tell: Read! And use the search. Most of the problems have been answered hundreds of times on this forum.
I did a lot of reading before first flashing my device, and all went perfectly, from the beginning to the end.
Anyway, when I found out that my Wizard is actually a G4, I was dissapointed that there is really not a lot of info about it in here.. Especially about how to flash it (I know it's not that hard, but for those ones that don't know, the first time is terrifying ) I am going to try to make one, but if there are any mistakes, tell me please
First, I'd like to note that this is only a "tutorial" based on my personal experience. Although I didn't have any problems flashing my device, I do not take any responsibility for your actions!
Next, and this is important.. Make sure that you REALLY HAVE A G4 DEVICE and not a G3!!! Think before flashing, otherwise you can brick your device! A G4 Wizard will report an IPL and SPL similar to 2.21.0001 and a G3 PDA will report something similar to 2.21 or 2.21.001 (notice the number of 0's at the end!)
And don't forget, these actions WILL ERASE ALL OF THE INFO from your phone, so BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP! You have been warned
Some other notes:
1. Most of the custom Rom's out there will require you to CID-unlock your device (most but not all of them.. See this thread for details)
2. Yes, CID-unlocking will void your warranty
3. There is always a chance that you will brick your device, even if you do it right. But this is really unlikely, usually because you tried to use a G3 Rom on a G4 device. Be careful!
4. At the moment of writing, the only way to CID-unlock your device is via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
5. Please don't Rush yourself! Think first, read the whole post. Remember, this is not a self-contained guide! Look through the forum to be sure that you're ready, and that you really want to do this!
And last, but not least! Please do not use your PC for the time you're Upgrading! Close all of the running applications, and wait until it will finish! Don't repeat other's mistakes.
______________________________________________________
Now, if you still want to do it, you can continuse with the steps:
0. Be sure to backup all data on your phone, close all the apps on your PC, charged your phone to a minimum of 50%!!!
1. Download the Rom you want to 'flash'. Remember, you need a G4 Rom!!! Look here or here for example.. I'm using the WM5 AKU 3.3 Rom from this forum..
Extract it on your Harddrive. Don't run it directly from WinRar or any other archiving program you're using!
2. Open your ActiveSync without your phone connected! and select File -> Delete Mobile Device. After that connect your phone, and press cancel in the window that appears. Be sure that in ActiveSync you have a "Guest" line in gray!
3. If you did everything that have been said, then you're ready to flash.. Run the RUU. Usually it's a file called "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe". If your update utility is not in English, you can download the English files, and overwrite the ones you have (The english files is NOT a rom! You have to download a Rom first!). If you get a message like:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility then download the new Update Utility. Both can be found here.
4. After several "Next" clicks, your phone WILL restart. Don't disconnect it, just leave it. It will load into the bootloader (A screen with 3 colors, you'll know when you get to it), after that it will start flashing. You will see the progress bar on both your PC and PDA. Give it a LOT of time. It can flash your phone from as little as several minutes (Guess I vas lucky ) up to 10 and more minutes. Sometime, the progress bar will turn red and stop. DON'T TOUCH IT, it's not an error. It has to set up itself, so it's OK!
In case you get ann error while flashing, or your computer restarts while flashing, don't panic (for now). If your phone enters the bootloader after that (hopefully) than just run the utility again on the PC (with the phone in the bootloader) and it will start again. If the situation repeats try another ROM.
If you still have issues, uninstall ActiveSync. REBOOT! Download and install ActiveSync 4.2 Don't create a partnership.
You should be OK after these steps.
Some last words..
I may have used some words or expressions from other's people posts (mainly from this post) This was done just to be sure that I don't miss anything, and all I've said is as close to the truth as possible.. Thanks to the owners of this site, and all the people who helped it it's developement!
Enjoy!

You can't unlock without imei-check. If you did unlock through imei-check, you still can't flash a G3 rom with IPL/SPL in it unless you want a brick.

Yeah... do that and you`ll have another brick in the wall
The only difference from G3 and G4 ROMs is that the G4 ROM will NOT rewrite your IPL/SPL ... so you can flash any ROM WITHOUT the IPL/SPL parts.
AND VERY IMPORTANT ... i repeat... it does NOT matter if you have a CID UNLOCKED G4 ... if u try to flash IPL/SPL on it, you`ll have yourself another paper-weight.
I did everything, but after reboot it runs still previous Rom. Like I did't nothing...

Changing IPL/SPL
I would like to change to a newer IPL/SPL on my G4 unlocked UK T-mobile MDA Vario. I have read that I need to use one of the T-Mobile ROMS but on the xda-developers ftp server it is not obvious to me which are for a G4 phone.
Can anyone give me some recommendations please?

What I found is part of the discussion regarding G3 Wizard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 - see the first post
Does anyone know if the US T-Mobile 2.26 ROM link in the above G3 thread is also applicable to a UK T-Mobile MDA Vario unlocked G4 and will it change my IPL/SPL to 2.26?
You can flash a new IPL/SPL on a G4, its just that theres generally no need, its risky and you have to make sure its not a G3 IPL/SPL. I think there is a newer one to 2.21.0001 but I'm not sure. I wouldn't change it if I were you as it runs fine even with latest WM6.

DON'T do it! By changing IPL and SPL on your G4 you'll brick it. Really..
Why would you want it anyway?

As I mentioned in my posts earlier...If you download the package from your provider chances are its for G3, they do not post different versions for G3 & G4, only for G3. If you download elsewhere from the internet and the ROM is packaged...right click on the .exe package and extract the content to a folder of your choice and check the RUU installer. If it says "NoID" somewhere in its name, its most definitely for G3 OR G4 (may be installed on either device).

are you using VMWARE Fusion or Parallels Desktop?
If so, update to the lastest version and/or change the settings to "GUEST ONLY" for USB......
I has that issue a while back on a treo, several during the update process it "disconnects" the USB momentarily....
If you had it set to "ask me" then, it would attempt to "ask you.", causing the updater no not see it. (No fusion or parallels, because there is no valid firmware on the device.)
If that was your issue, let me know, please.
Just download the lastest rom and extract the .nbh from the .exe with winrar. Rename it properly and flash away.
Also, you may way to look into either olipro 2.40 or nueSPL 2.47 for your bootloader. It could be that you are trying to load an incompatible ROM. Check the wikis and stickies for a compatibility list of bootloader/radio/ROM.
i got it to turn on and stay on but i cant update it to 6.1 because of the SPL 1.20 bootloader i think how can i update it. i have dcd_2[1].0.0_beta_sprint.exe but it will not load on my phone even if i change the name. any idea's? also i tried to RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.56.651.0_RS_TITAN_3.42.02_SPCS2.04_PPST_0718_Ship.exe flash that on and still gives an error.
BTW thanks alot for helping me out
Look at Step II - 1 in the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
You are also using a pretty old ROM made by DCD. He made a bunch more that worked very well before he stopped posting.
Hi all,
So got my Mozart today. I want to get 7720 onto my device (preferably unlocked)... Although I am having quite a big problem - Zune says my phone is upto date. It is not a branded phone.
I found this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206853
Which is a NoDo ROM which allows you to get the other prerequisite updates needed for 7720 though Zune.
Although as far as I understand you need to have RSPL/HSPL on your phone.
So went and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16189671#post16189671
So all is good, I am on my way to getting somewhere (after I dunno how many hours) until I get to this..
WARNING TO ALL:
Do NOT use RSPL / HSPL with Mozart 4.XX and other RUU ROMS with MANGO.
It will damage your device. Not a joke.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not understand what is meant by "Mozart 4.XX" and what they mean by RUU ROMS with Mango? Would I have a problem loading RSPL (Yes, I am being relatively cautious - just got the phone and cannot afford to brick it or something), putting the ROM on (The one I linked to above) and then updating to 7720?
Also one thing which is a bit weird is in the RSPL/HSPL thread there is the following:
List of supported MIDs:
Gold: “PC92****”, “PC921000”
Mozart: “MOZA1000”, “PD67****”, “PD671000”, “PD671200”
Mondrian: “PD26****”, “PD261000”, “PD261100”
Spark: “PC401000”
Schubert: “PD29****”, “PD291000”, “PD291100”, "PD291300", "PD291500"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My Mozart's MID is PD67100 - there is one less 0 in my MID... Does that make a difference?
I do not have 10 posts so cannot post in the RSPL/HSPL thread as its in the Development section. A friend of mine has a Mozart, got it a week before me from the same place, and he has 7720 on his and 7004 sucks compared to 7720. It is hardly functional
So if any of you can help me out I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
same problem my MIDs not yet supported by the DFT team HSPLs
same problem as you, I can not install a HSPLs, because my MID="MOZA100" there is one less 0 in my MID too , it's not yet supported by the DFT team HSPLs
(List of supported Mozart MIDs: “MOZA1000”, “PD67****”, “PD671000”, “PD671200”)
but I try anyway:
1 - Launching RSPL (it reboot and see RSPLX.YZ and "CotullaRSPL" on the screen - the task done!)
2- Installing HSPL (it seems to be successful until the end, but when I boot into bootloader sees me as no modifications are made)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227070
Hey, so you tried it on your Mozart which has an unsupported MID - one less zero and the RSPL worked for you? If I can get RSPL or HSPL working would me flashing my phone with the ROM I linked to work and then from there updating to Mango?
Is there anyway I could brick my device by trying? I still don't know what they meant by don't try it on "4.xx"?
EDIT: Also what if you were to try flash your WP7 device with a custom ROM and you do NOT have RSPL/HSPL on your phone?
Thanks
Tigros, I went and re-read the RSPL/HSPL thread and I think we skipped through it a bit too fast.
I noticed this:
!Please note that on SPL screen MID is only 7 symbols, without last one.!
Programs stops any operations if unknown MID detected. If your device have unknown MID, please report about it in this thread. Specify your MID, device name, ROM versions. It’s nice, if you can give a link to download ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the SPL will only be 7 digits long in the SPL and not 8 as displayed in the thread and if our MID was not supported then it would not let us put RSPL/HSPL on.
Also the DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1.rar download is corrupt for me. I have tried downloading it multiple times. I am assuming your version is not corrupt, could you please upload it for me?
Thanks
EDIT: Ok, so forget about what I said about needing G1, just downloaded Revision #2 and installed RSPL, then HSPL (did not realise you had to have HSPL, got it now though). FLashed with the custom ROM I linked to and now just need to try keep my device unlocked while updating to 7403.
Going to try unlocking it first and then following ansar's guide. See if that works as doing what he said did not work for me :-/
~sigh~
So after updating to 7403, Zune does not detect any updates so I think I will be waiting for a Mango custom ROM
Also my market place has never really worked? Really annoying. South Africa is supported as far as I know.
you must install the new beta zune 4.8. then your phone will be detected. the version can you find in the forum or at google.
The most important first is the fact of installing hspls (RSPL launch is a step for installing hspls no more)
while hspls is not installed you can not install other ROM
because the original SPL and Does not allow to flash custom ROM.
I tried following Ansar guide, but it does not work no more

I was running 4.8 (dunno which build exactly) although now Zune is completely screwed as I uninstalled it to install 4.7 to use Phone Backup to make a backup of my upgrading progress. Zune uninstalled, although it still thinks that it is installed so I cannot install any version of Zune as it says it is already up to date yet there is no version of Zune on my PC at all.
So I am going to try and post on the Zune forum, see if someone can help me otherwise I may have to format again - not amped to as I just formated last weekend.
ahlMAR, which exact version of Zune will give me the update for 7712 (I think that is what comes after 7403?)...
Hello eveyone
I am trying to root my legend. First, I tried the method on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Legend:_Full_Update_Guide
It has 2 steps: downgrading and rooting.
I completed whole step 1 (downgrading) and went back to android 2.1 through the RUU.
Then I came at step 2, rooting the device. In step two of the rooting, it gives a link to the rooting files. This mediafire link is dead.
I went online searching for another link, and eventually i came at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680584#3 wich guides to do the root through HTVdev. Before i actually went and tried this i needed a working phone for work so i did a full reset and updated trough android OTA update.
When I tried to unlock it through HTVdev, i runned into a problem.
Before i even could start, it asked me to update my rom with one of the given links. It says:
NOTE: If you do not find your ROM version in the table below, and your ROM version is newer, then your device does not require the RUU. Please bypass these steps and continue to the next page.

So my problem is, my version is not listed, but it is ALSO NOT newer than the versions listed below. The versions that are listed are:
3.14.161.1
3.14.163.1
3.15.1600.
3.15.178.3
3.15.405.3
3.15.708.2
3.15.709.3
3.15.720.3
3.18.751.2
3.19.1010.1
3.20.666.1
3.30.415.6
3.30.466.6

My problem is, i got version 3.15.405.7, very similar to the one listed, 3.15.405.3. First i skipped this part, and went ahead to follow the steps anyway. When i had to type fastboot oem get_identifier_token (step 8) in command prompt, it supposed to give me a large list of numbers.
Mine did nothing, so i knew i was wrong. I tried all of the steps a few times but with no effect. Then i thought, can't i just use the RUU of 3.15.405.3, maby then it will work?
But when i tried to run it, it didn't work since i dont have the right version to begin with.
So now what, can anybody help me? I realy want to unlock my device, it is so slow on stock 2.2 i'm getting crazy
I'll trie to follow every suggestion somone gives me but i cannot guarentee i can do everything since i'm a bit new to this stuff (although i know a lot about computers)
Thank you very much!
