Hello all!
I need urgent help with my T-Mobile MDA Vario I (Wizard 200) G4 (2006):
I wanted to upgrade to WM6 and used Hard SPL to do that. Read all the tutorials.
After applying Hard SPL the boot screen read:
IPL: 2.21.0001
SPL: 2.21.Olip
GSM: 02.19.11
OS: 2.24.2.5
Then I flashed the ROM with "RUU_WM6_XB_FUSION" .....
Result: At reboot it hang in the old T-Mobile boot screen stating:
the above IPL and SPL but
GSM: 02.47.21
OS: 10.0.0.0
The only thing I can do now is:
go into boot loader mode by pressing camera and stylus
and reflash it with the same RUU: it still hangs....
Not possible to reconnect to Active Sync anymore so cannot remove Hard SPL to go back to original OS with Soft SPL....
SO WHAT NOW???? Please Help, I am at a loss, just bought it...
you need to install a non official windows mobile 5 rom that doesnt have spl / ipl built into them (ex: wizard love rom) google it.
Brought back to life!
Many thanks: I did what you suggested and it's back amongst the living!
Now I need a stable G4 proof WM6 RUU....any suggestions???

Hi guys,
my Orbit failed in the middle of a flash (in Windows with RomUpdateUtility).
Now I can only get to the bootloader, nothing else.
I think the CID unlock must have failed somehow, because using the SDcard method I cannot flash any cooked ROM. In fact I cannot flash ANY ROM now! I have tried the default shipped 02 ROM's but they all fail at 5% in RomUpdateUtility.exe thru windows, and also fail via the SDcard method (it sits there forever saying reading SD card).
Any ideas? Any other O2 ROM's I should try? Or can I send it for repair to any one off this forum? Should I bin it, maybe the flash chip is faulty?
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
Tried (and failed) ROM list:
HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe

I have the exact same problem only mine is stuck with IPL 3.04.0001 and SPL 3.04.0000
When i try the original rom (o2 factory) it goes at 4% into Error 226 (something with the Extrom), any other rom wont work since no USPL... damn it.
Any Ideas on this?
I've been reading on the upgrade to 6.1 with various cooked rom, and decided to go with Tessa 4.5. Since it is required to go with IPL 3.10/SPL 3.10, i went from original ROM and upgrade one step at a time, to 1.17, 2.26 and 2.28, and 3.10 (both IPL and SPL). Then I noticed after 3.10, i cannot boot up. This is before I upgrade to Tessa, just upgrading IPL/SPL.
When in 2.26, everytime upgrade completed, reboot went fine. But after 3.10, it went wrong. I tried to fix it with upgrading IPL only to 3.14.
It still wont boot up after power down.
So I downgrade to IPL/SPL 2.28. The SPL went down, but IPL stays at 3.14, and the problem continues. I can upgrade to Onyx, but everytime I power down, i have to flash with IPL/SPL 2.28 to make the ELF boot up. When I get to the OS, i check my battery is 0%.
Is IPL 3.14 the culprit? If yes, how do I downgrade it? using elf-uspl and/or Rom Utility gives same result: IPL stays at 3.14.
Help?
Update:
i was able to flash with elf-uspl using ipl/spl 2.27/2.28.
Now i have onyx junior with the ipl/spl combination above.
But it is still having problem when I turned off the device. It won't go pass smart mobility, instead it just shut down again. I have to take out the battery, put it back in, then reflash with rom utility (with any spl/ipl below 3.0) then it would restart and go pass smart mobility and enter the OS.
What gives?
Update2:
After trying to downgrade and upgrade, I use the original HTC Touch ROM, Windows 6.0. Still the problem appear. So I decided to go with elf-uspl and get the SPL back to 1.11000 (which was the initial working setup). Then I flashed the IPL to 1.17002.
Now, with IPL 1.17002 and SPL 1.1100, everything went back to normal.
Is this mean I cannot use SPL above my initial setting? Obviously the newer cooked rom won't accept these number, as it needs to have 3.10 minimum?

I finally settled with IPL/SPL 1.19 since this is the only setting that would still boot to OS after I Power Off the device. Now looking for Win 6.1 coked rom that would accept these IPL/SPL setting...

Hi,
I have tried to flash a wiza200 that was already flashed with a manila rom, I checked that it is a G4. I used TNT.20273 Professional Wizard HTC Home FREE ROM, it seems to work , romupdate utility indicated that the device was flashed successfully but it reboots on bootloader screen. I tried to reflash it it gave the same result, I tried another rom but impossible to flash it with other roms. So I downloaded the official one from the operator O2 but I got "invalid vendor" message. I searched all the possible solutions but none of them worked( wizard love also). Is there a savior here ? someone who can give me the right procedure to follow.
initially the IPL was 2.21.0001 and spl 2.21 Olipr
now the IPL is 2.21.0001 and spl 2.21
Thanks
Best regards.
You must replace the Update.exe with a MaUpgradeUT_NoID.exe . Found here in Forum . Look in "Blue Angel" for it. Be sure that you flash the right ROM with it . It will no ask...
Hi All,
I need your help in urgent!!!
My ELF GSM infor:
- DeviceID: ELF011000
- CID : DOPOD701
My ELF worked fine before I tried to upgrade its IPL from 1.11.0002 to 2.26.0002, then this problem occur. Because a WM 6.1 ROM requires to have IPL 2.27.0002 and SPL 2.28.0000 so I kept continue upgrade the IPL/SPL to 2.27.0002 and 2.28.0000.
I tried to flash my ELF, from bootloader mode, with these ROMs:
- RUU_Elf_DOPOD_chs_1.11.706.1B, this ROM I got from a China forum, it is my device original ROM
- RUU_Elf_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.11.707.1B_4.1.13.42_02.93.90_Ship.exe
- RUU_Elf_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.17.707.2B_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe
- RUU_Elf_HTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.15.721.3B_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe
- ESSential_4_5
- Onyx_jr_4_4_2_Light
They are all 100% successfull but the IPL/SPL unchanged (2.27.0002 and 2.28.0000) and the device still loop at smart mobility, can not jump into OS.
I did try to use unbricker ROM and goldcard (with original ROM or unbricker ROM inside) but the ELF still stuck at smart mobility...
Please give me your advices, what should I do (except buying a new phone)?
Thanks for your time!
Flash your Official ROM

After flash back to official ROM , enter bootloader and check ipl/spl first.
Normally, if you flash ipl/spl (not hard spl) when you flash back to the official ROM the ipl/spl will back to original. S/R - wait for boot to WM if OK then do H/R again. And flash ipl/spl again - enter bootloader and check ipl/spl again (changed or not) if OK after that I recommended you flash Onyx ROM. I used it for long time and no trouble.
Hope, it's can help you.
Dear ELF341,
Thanks for your reply!
After 100% successful loading the original ROM, my ELF restart and loop at the China Mobile screen... When I enter bootloader, the IPL/SPL still remain as IPL 2.27.0002 SPL 2.28.0000
I understand that when we flash the original ROM, the IPL/SPL will roll back to its original version, but mine is so strange?! Does this mean that:
- My ELF's flash ROM is fail or locked at the region for IPL/SPL so that whatever ROM I flash (these ROM contain ILP,SPL,OS,radio..) the IPL/SPL unchaged?
- The original ROM is actually not match to my ELF?? But I already flashed the other ship WWE ROM and also the unbricker ROM, they all loop at smart mobility...
Please help me!

How you flashed ROM ? By RUU (PC) or used microSD card. I recommened you to use RUU (PC) follow step by step. Sometime when I used microSD card to flashed ROM , it's successful but cannot boot, after that I flashed Official ROM by RUU and unlocked the phone again it's back to normal. And your official ROM, you must check with your operator or distributor because in different zone it's use diferent ROM.
Dear ELF341,
I only can flash via PC RUU, I don't succeed in SD card way:
- When I copy the *.nbh file into SD card, then enter bootloader, I just can see the checking SD card content string displayed very fast, then the tri color screen.
- When I create a goldcard and copy *nbh file into it, enter bootloader, the brick ask for 'upgrading SD image', I press power button for it to start download but it hang at 'downloading from SD' with a blank download status bar.
Actually I bought this ELF from a man on my local site, so I don't know where is the distributor...I used the mtty and usb monitor to check for my device infor, then search internet for my original ROM, I only can find in a China forum that match my deviceID/CID....
For my case, I really don't know why I can not change its IPL/SPL version? Please help me!!!
Thanks for your time!
well u hav to rename the nbh file to ELF0IMG for SD card flashing to work.
