First of all THANK YOU all of the Great Minds of XDA Developers for all the support and great work you do for us!
a lot of your work, support and software and advice has been priceless help!
Any way no ass kissing here, just wanted to say thank you. ...and ask for help. As you probably know, there has been a lot of problems and issues with Prophet. (and very little or NO support and from manufacture and from providers. and there is not much available from xda developers forum users on this device. Though there has been great amount of support on any other devices. which has made me a happy user of Magician. But to cut it short, PLEASE HELPPPPPPP with Prophet!!! I can't reflash my XDA Neo with new WWE rom due to CID (vendor ID) error! It comes with german rom and I don't read german but love the phone! (and stuck with 2 year contract!) I tried aWisard utility numerus times in hopes that it would work despite the design for different device. I tried all kinds of roms available out there with no luck. and ofcourse HTC or O2 wouldn't help in any way! (different O2 support
techs said to me that I couldn't flash my Magician with WWE rom becouse it would kill the device! And I had it flashed in all the possible languages!) Any way, my magician is now a history (sold) and my new prophet is great pain in a ass!
Do you guys think you could help all of the xda community (and unlucky suckers) out here and help us overcome CID error so we can update/change our roms? (and screw the HTC, Qtek, Imate and O2 for such a poor support!)
I would greatly appreciate it! and it goes from all of us!
hi aleksandr
Just go the link below and follow the instruction to unlock the CID.
I just upgraded my 818 Pro to JAMin ROM, run very smoothly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386
Hi, thank you very much for the reply! I did try this option but I have a little problem with Wisard program. I ran all the commands, enabled rapi,backed up my rom, ran unlock CID command, it returned "success" line, but when I try option -w- to write new rom into my prophet and get to "select OS rom file" where it saids to enter numbers only I don't know what to enter in the command line since the program doesn't have any roms listed in the command line screen. I've tried entering the rom release number, I even tried renaming rom to a number and I have placed the rom nk.nbf file in all the possible folders including "rom" in the program directory. but stil, once I hit enter, the command line window shuts down. could you advise?
and I did put the aWizard folder and rom file in the root directory on c:... tried d: too... stil, no result
Hi Alek,
Try this....
You now have a device that is CID unlocked, exit aWizard and locate the downloaded RUU update you now wish to load to your device. You should not need to use aWizard to do the flashing, just use the aWizard program to unlock the CID from the device.
I too have a Dopod 818Pro and I successfully flashed it to the new I-Mate JAMin ROM. All I used aWizard for was to unlock the CID on the Dopod 818Pro then exited aWizard and just used the downloaded RUU update.

voyager
Thanks voyager, I guess you're very fast typist :lol:
Hi aleksandr,
Did you did an ActiveSync with your Prophet first then run the aWizard? For me I just run aWizard to enable RAPI and unlock the CID on my 818 Pro. Then I just double click on the latest JAMin ROM exe file, it detect my 818 Pro without any problem.

First of all thank you guys for getting involved and helping! I really appreciate it!
well, I tried just to CID unlock it with aWisard, got "successful" message and then I ran about 10 different upgrades from different providers, qtek, Imate, etc, and still got the wrong vender message!
hey mamakap,
you're right on the fast typing, my fingers are still burning...hee hee

I usualy ran after sync, since the aWisard said it has to be fully ran. I will try it now!
Thank you! hopefully with all of your support I'll get the nedded results! Thanx!!
ok, just tried enable rapi with active sync off, the aWisard reopened and reastablished connection, but it still not finding the rom file.
wait a minute, does the rom file has to be in .nbf format or .nba?!
I'm looking right now for Extend Tool (64HTC Extended ROM Tool) and will convert the rom rom to nba file and see what happends.
man, I wonder how it worked for you just running unlock CID command and upgrading with the upgrade file!
Alek,
You already unlocked the CID from your device did you not? Your first post said you got a success message.
Put your device on the cradle or plug in the usb cable. Let ActiveSync do its thing then after the sync just double click on the RUU update you want to install. Follow the install wizard (NOT aWIZARD) of the RUU update. You do not need aWizard any longer to update the ROM, just use the RUU update you downloaded.
post if you need further help.

I've tried that several times and its still returnes the error!
Alek, one more thing ... you do realize that by doing this, you will wipe your device clean (hard reset) and you will need to load everything from scratch. If you use a back up program like Sprite or SPB backup YOU CAN NOT USE THAT BACKUP once you do this!!! You will be loading everything from scratch.
Just letting you know!!
voyager
OK Alek,
Tell me EVERYTHING you have done up to this point. I need to know what device you have, what ROM is currently on it and what ROM you want to flash with. Give me 5-10mins and I'll check back....lets try to get this resolved for you tonight.
voyager
yep! I do know this.. thank you though! I had an experience with Magician on that but I guess it's not much help with prophet though!
I haven't installed anything on this device yet.. just played with ExtRom, unlocked it and deleted O2 staff out of it just to see if I can do it But I do want to get the right OS in here first and then I'll worry about the rest of programs..
you guys wouldn't happen to have Extend Tool (64HTC Extended ROM Tool)would you? I'm visiting my family and I'm on my brothers PC dont have all my staff with me,and can't seem to find it on the XDA FTP
:?: What 64HTC Extended ROM tool are you referring to? If you're on your brothers computer do you have an ActiveSync connection to YOUR device? If so, is all synced up with your Outlook profile etc...?
First I need to know which Prophet you have (Dopod 818Pro, I-Mate JAMin or Q-Tek S200).
First let me say this, if you have a Q-Tek S200, I don't think you are going to be able to upgrade the ROM. I have seen several threads here that indicate that somehow Q-Tek S200 is permanently locked and that the aWizard program will NOT work on it no matter what, (or at least until some geneius here figures it out
Please let me know

Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
ok, I have XDA Neo, German Version
rom 2.9.4.30 GER
rom date 2.14.06
protocol 413.1.03
ExtRom 2.9.4.120
First I have unlocked ExtRom with Wizards Utility
Then I tried to reflash the device to WWE rom with different upgrade utilities from different venders, tried Qtek s200,it didn't work, reterned wrong Vender ID error, then Imate- same result, then Dopod, using diferent RUU wizards, including Wizard Rom Upgrade Utility NoID.
still, no luck..
then I tried aWizard,
first I ran Rapi enable
second I made a back up of my own rom,
then Unlock CID,
then tried writing rom using aWisard, didnt work, aWizard doesn't finds any roms(and the program and rom are in the root directory of c
then tried just unlocking the CID and use Upgrade Wizards again, still, no luck!
tried praying, that didn't help either!
thinking about beer now! But I don't think that would help either
I did sync with PC and outlook.. activeSync4.1
I even tried flashing it with Danish rom, that I couldn't install it either..(I've read on XDA that flashing danish rom first than and only than I could try it to put WWE in to it. well, that didn't work either)
I tried running all possible rom upgrades that are available, and always got wrong vender id error.
even after aWizard reported that my rom was unlocked!
so I have no Idea what else I can try!
may be getting drunk and "sync it in the toilet"!
If we get this to work, you owe me a beer!!! OK, here's what I need you to do...
1) I tried researching this board for any signs of the O2 Neo being permanently locked like the Q-Tek S200, could find NOT anything. (edited, could NOT find anything)
2) Do you have a copy of the I-Mate JAMin RUU update on your brothers computer? If so great, if not, go get it. Try the latest one that came out yesterday.
3) Once you have this I-Mate JAMin ROM (save it to the Desktop for easy finding later) let me know.
4) Also, make sure you have ActiveSync 4.1 and it is set up and you have synced at least once with it. It doesn;t matter at this point what PIM info is on it since its going buh bye ina while, I just need it synced with a REAL partnership, not Guest.
Let me know when you have all these things done...
voyager
you've got the deal on bear! all you can drink! I'll bring you the german staff on my next visit to states!
any way, got it all! Imate jamin rom and sync has been done!
OK,
1) do a soft reset on the device. Once the device is fully up again, plug the usb cable in and let ActiveSync do its thing.
2) Open aWizard. Run the Rapi deal again. After that run the unlock CID.
3) If you get a success message after the unlock CID, CLOSE aWizard.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE NEO FROM THE USB!!! Let me know when this is done.
I found your 64HTC Tool:

Hey guys,
Im another newbie, but who is actually scared of screwing up the phone. I have the Tmobile MDA compact III obviously, and the information page looks like this:
ROM version 1.13.114.1 NLD
ExtRom version 1.13.114.101
Model nr ARTE 110
CPU OMAP850
Im not so sure what this information tells you people who are knowledgable about this, however can I safely use the customised powermap file from this website's ftp (ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Artemis/Customized_ROMs/) to change the phone to english?
What are the procedures EXACTLY please, and what problems should I expect.
Another thing, what is CID lock, and how can I see if mine is or not?
I checked most of the threads, so I am knowledgable about this issue a bit, however because none of the topics were specifically about the Dutch version I wanted to make sure. Thank you a lot for your help...
1. you have to CID unlock your phone. only real solution is imei-check website, and that will cost you $40. this will prevent MANY of the problems with installing ROMs
2. don't do updating on Vista PC, use XP or older
3. follow on screen instructions of your chosen ROM update utility. don't panic if it takes too long and looks like the update process has "freezed". make yourself a coffee and let it finish installing.
4. enjoy!
PS... i strongly suggest you read as much as you can on this forum before doing any upgrading.... then you'll know what to expect.... and of course, don't forget that only YOU are responsible for anything that happens to your device, good or bad... good luck!
hey dim4x4,
thanks for the post, I appreciate it. However is the exe file I mentioned (customised power map) the right one? i know there are a few options to chose from, like the 3 options of the pdamobiz.com website. While im not too clear of the main differences, the general concensus on the forum is that the powermap is preferred, and has a lot of nice things. Is there a better one? perhaps on a different ftp. Maybe if you have one you can send it to me.
Another thing, if it dont work, or works and I dont like it, can I get back to my original ROM, the dutch one from the tmobile dutch file on the ftp site as well?
Thanks
1. Personally, I use PDAmobiz Lite version. Powermap version has a map of Thailand which I don't need. "A lot of nice things" for my purpose is a lot of unnecessary stuff. If I need something I can install it myself into RAM or storage card. You have to choose the version which suits you best.
2. Everything is on this server. You have to register to log in http://www.wm-gurus.com/registration/signup.php
3. I went back and forth with different ROMs (versions, languages, etc.) without any problem until I found more or less what I want. Please note, my device is CID unlocked by imei-chek.
Good luck!
Urgent Help
I tried the powermap version of the ftp. This is exactly what I did:
I connected the phone and established contact through activesync, then I started the exe file. The DOS windows opened, and then it started initialiying, and the process started. It said that it will take 15-30 mintues, and the process has started. So far im sure everypone is familiar with those. However, I waited about 35-40 minutes, and still nothing different on either screens. The DOS window said however that if nothing starts I should reset the process. I tried but didnt work. At that time I tried to reset the phone and now it is stuck in the startup screen. All I see on it is the IPL/OS data, and it is not moving further.
Please help, what do I do now?
So this is what I did so far....
1. Flashed with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe (with device on Today screen)
2. The process started and stuck on "uploading file [don't remember] and as the instruction said I reseted the phone after 30 minutes.
3. All there is on is T-Mobile splash screen, version infos and that's it.
5. Tried to flash again in bootloader mode but the device was not visible by PC
How do I go from here? Maybe I need to flash the original rom version of the phone. I have the dutch tmobile mda compaxt III, but with the dutch ROM version on the ftp of this site is scary, because there are too many files and have no clue which one to flash.
Any suggestions?
There is no Dutch T-Mobile ROM available yet.
You could try the English T-Mobile ROM (art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe), which is available on this site: http://www.wm-gurus.com/registration/signup.php
There's a chance this ROM will work on your Dutch T-Mobile phone, if the signature is correct (I assume your phone is still CID locked).
Read this link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Resets on how to enter the bootloader of your phone.

CID unlocking isn't possible if your phone isn't working.
If you don't have your original rom, you have to contact your provider to repair it.
try from bootloader screen
Hi I also did as u did but with a hards reset in the beginning.And it worked fine.read somewhere that if u dnt do a hard reset you could get into problems.If u can try to go to bootloader screen and try to flash from ther.
flashing from the bootloader screen gives me an error, the file cannot recognize that a phone is connected to the PC. that is the biggest problem I think.
DO you know how to flash the Tmobile NL version on the ftp. there is one that I dont know how to use
Hi,

Please Help!!

There are VERY much posts of people who are havig the same prob's. And yes there is a good possibility that your device is bricked. BUT wich ROM was installed on yur device? you could try these two ROM's first before messing around!
-http://superiorgadgets.com/software/RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_1.8.405.1_02.71.90_Ship.exe
-http://superiorgadgets.com/software/RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe
first to to is putting your device in bootloader mode: HOLD Camera and then press soft reset once. then connect to pc via USB, then run the RUU and follow the steps. good luck
Hi,
I already tried both of these roms and even more, even roms from other
models but always with the same error: INVALID VENDER ID
I think the solutions will be:
-Right or NoVendorId Rom. (Like for the prophet)
-Mtty trick but with right Commands and values
-SD Boot trick via HERAIMG.nbh well signed.
Please someone to help us
Bye

You could flash back no problem by flashing back to original shipped ROM......problem is though you need to find out which ROM came with your phone, then you need to get your hands on it.
hey guys.. i need some help
i installed an app an asked me to restart the device.. i did
and now it's stuck on the splash screen
IPL 2.27
SPL 2.27
GSM 02.44.11
OS 2.27.1.1
and the orange brand wallpaper
what can i do? i tried to reset it and format it
but an error shows up
"Press Send to restore factory default,
Other keys to quit"
ok.. send it is
"Format FAT Partition
Format failed"
i can enter RGB bootloader (cam button+power), but i don't know what i can do??
ps: i just got it from a friend, i don't think my phone is cid-unlocked..
and i'm stuck at the splash screen and nothing to do
please help me.. tell me what can i do
Ouch.
Sounds like the built-in flash memory is bad. I'm not sure what you can do about that, short of replacing it.
No offense Reverend, but where did you hear that? Its just bad flash man! Simply enter the bootloader mode, and re-flash a new rom to your device. What program where you trying to install?

something from a pocket freeware site.. "XDA-Team_Manilla2D.CAB"
it's a touchflo 2d app for today screen.. after installing it, the sistem wouldn't boot up anymore. so i tried to format, soft reset, to restore the system..
the formatting started and then gave an error and shut down immediately. i didn't even catch a glimps of that error 'cause it restarted.. and then the problem. it won't go past the operator splash screen
tried to reformat.. would't start.. format failure
..simply wow.. don't get me wrong , but i didn't knew there was a bootloader screen until this happened.. i dug up about this problem on the forum, but i can't solve it.. i don't know that much about flashing.. isn't the wizard supposed to be cid-unlocked to be able to flash it with a new rom?
or there's a rom that doesn't require the pda to be unlocked?.. cause' i think mine isn't. and, since i can't get it to boot up the os, i can't cid-unlock it after the tutorials i've found here..
and i don't want to bury it, yet
Oh you poor sole...that program that you tried to flash is notorious...I did the very same thing to mine just the other day. It doesnt work with the Wizard yet for some reason.
Now, onto your problem, yes-I think that your Wizard IS INDEED CID locked, and if that is the case, search for the Wizard LOVE ROM and flash it. It can be flashed with a CID unlocked device. Head into your bootloader mode, then start up the RUU flashing program on your PC that is included with the ROM. After it flashes, you can use the Wizard Service Tool, which is also availible via searching to CID and SIM unlock your device, and then you can put any ROM that you like onto it. I hope that helps somewhat!
If you can get it into bootloader mode, you can recover. If the phone is not unlocked, you will have to load the original service ROM for that phone.
You MIGHT get lucky by just flashing the IPL/SPL back though, now that I think about it...look at the "How to Remove HardSPL" thread for the most popular IPL/SPL sets. If this works, you won't have to put all of your custom settings and programs back on.
Myrddin Wyllt
Plz note all the IP/SPL posted in the thread 'How To Remove HardSPL' are for G4 devices and they are not meant to be flashed to a G3 device,if flashed will certainly 'Brick' the G3 device.
Whereas,here ,he has a G3 device with IPL/SPL 2.27,flashing those IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) means instant death of the phone.
koolariz
Simply,download the official stock rom of the carrier and flash it in Bootloader mode to recover back to its default status,than downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx to CID unlock the phone,how to CID unlock the phone, read and follow this guide carefully :-

Or search on tutorials tu unlock and upgrade the wizard Love ok?
Good luck men...
And please please please read and ask before do anything, BTW now the only you can do is to runn this ROMs cause you cant get your original carriers ROM.
If this dont works... please read the thread from upgrading forum in this wizard subforum that said something like Stuck on splash screen solution DYI or something the tuttorial DEV is called Drug_store.

quoting:ERROR "This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer NBF file."
ps: The orange one on the xda ftp server doesn't work .. it's archived and parts are missing..
Hmmm,ok,lets try this out,download 'Button's Rom 1.05' from the link posted below and check if this works out.
Otherwise,you'll have to look for official Stock Rom (Romanian),which was running on the phone before.

i'll try this one.. for now.. ps:your link is broken?
i just have another question.. i have a friend with the same wizard as mine, i mean in the same carrier.. is it possible cu get his rom? to dump it on SD card.. or something?
so that i may flash that rom?

i found another thing on a DIY
If you got IPL/SPL 1.xx go to G3.3. If you got 2.xx go to G3.4
G3.3 Download button rom and flash it to your device. Your device should startup again after doing this. Go to G3.5.
G3.4 Download wizard_love rom and flash it to your device. Your device should startup again after doing this. Go to G3.5.

also try this one :-
xda_miniS_LaunchRom
http://rapidshare.com/files/43423464/Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe
and yes! you can also try Wizard_Love _Rom.
Now,its possible to back up the rom from your friend's phone,but it also have to be CID unlocked first and your device shud also be CID unlocked to flash it from the sdcard (MTTY) method.
pfff (
i've updated the rom with the Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 and now i have a blue sci-fi splash screen with "AKU 2.3" in the top-right corner..

and if i try to format, same error.. Format Failed.. so here i am again

Do you have any sdcard inserted in the phone right now,take it out before flashing any rom.

dude.. that's what i've been trying hard reseting it.. and i get the same error each time i try it "Format Failed"
no sd inserted.. i took it out a while ago.. cause i read on the forum to flash without it.
i begining to get desperate over here
i'll try other roms..
what else can i do than hope this works
Also take out if any sdcard or mini sd is inserted in the phone before flashing,it also causes this Format Failed problem.
I was trying to upgrade my SX66 from the factory Windows2003 to WM6 with this HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_ installer. I started the install and it crapped out giving me an error saying that it could not communicate with my device and that I needed to plug my device back in and retry it. My SX66 is now stuck on the bootloader as I'm sure the ROM isn't complete, and the installer does nothing now. Can someone please help this noob out? I'd really like to have my phone back lol.

Did you unlock the device first?
In any case, just try to reflash your device back to WM2003 with a stock rom. It does seem to be a bad flash. Also, which OS are you using (XP or Vista)?
Follow this in order to perform the upgrade properly...
Good luck!

I'm running windows version 7. and no i didn't unlock the device. i just ran the installer application (i hadn't found a detailed install manual) i'm not entirely sure how i can re-flash now, because i can't get a usb connection made because it's stuck in the bootloader.

By bootloader, do you mean the three colored screen?

no, the screen that says serial/usb at top and 2.07 at bottom
I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page
In my opinion (and this is just a theory), Windows 7 (since it is a beta) does not have the necessary drivers to recognize the "usb device". Hence, when you put it in the cradle, it just doesn't see it. Again, this is just a theory...
You may want to get a hold of a machine with XP (that is if you didn't make the one you are using a dual boot). You should be OK if you try to flash via XP.
If everything else fails, you can always use mtty and flash via SD card (the procedure can be found in the wiki).
I had the device synced up before the install. it's just having issues syncing while it's in the bootloader mode. The device actually appears in the usb devices, but doesn't sync. i was thinking that the device might have to be authenticated with local software(on the sx66) in order to sync. I'm using the windows vista drivers. I do have this machine dual boot, but it's not any other version of windows i'm using
Your device does not have to sync in order to up/downgrade. Think about it this way... the RUU will put the device in bootloader anyways.
Just run the installer of the stock rom (the upgrade from Cingular).
@N1cholas: Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just a little confused. Are you expecting MS Active Sync to show as it usually does when you are syncing your phone? If that is the case, it won't happen when on boot loader. Are you getting any error when trying to flash or you haven't tried to flash yet?
Advise:
1. Keep your hopes, don't get despert. Egzthunter is a master
2. Make sure you follow the guide... Step by Step to upgrade.
3. If it'll take you too long to complete the reading and flashing, reset your phone and put it to charge. You won't be able to flash with a dead backup battery. Main and Backup battery won't charge while on bootloader.
Edit: @Egzthunder: Sorry mate, while I was thinking, drinking coffee and writing you had already replied Like I said, your the help master. Once again, I encourage the MODS to propose you to be part of their teem. You're always there to help.

i'm going to head off to school, but it's not working. when i try to run any mods i get an error saying that it cannot communicate with device.

Why do you think I don't trust it?
@N1cholas,
I apologize since I ended up going to bed yesterday night.
I think your best bet will be to find yourself a PC running XP and try the reflash in that since it seems to me that something is going on with the OS.
@red and mark
Thanks for the support, guys!!! But you guys are awesome as well!
yeah, it's weird, it's just not working anymore. It appears in the device list and everything, but in WMDC it doesn't show up, and the rom install wizzards can't communicate with it either. I have been unable to find the upgrade ROM from cingular as it seems that the siemens' page has been removed. Also, I have a 2gb SD drive, but haven't been able to find information about flashing the SX66 from the SD.

You will not see the device in any type of sync software (call it ActiveSync, WMDC, etc). I hvae uploaded the SX66 stock installer from Cingular, so give that a shot
Here you go
SX66Update.exe
Like I said... XP computer. Also, for the SD flashing, you need to look for something called mtty and instructions on how to use it.
the proper solution
1.MTTY method for unblocking bootloader mode
2.Upgrade the same way as in Vista to stock rom
3.Sim Unock, Repartition DOC
4.Upgrade vista way to any rom you like
there are guides in WIKI about this
egzthunder1 which version extrom version and radio are in this rom - the one you sharing? As you know i make public BA shipped rom collection, and any rom which is not there is welcomed

Hey xplode,
To be perfectly honest, I haven't flashed 2003 since 2006, so I would be lying if I told you. Feel free to add it to your database if you wish. FYI, this is the upgrade that Cingular Wireless used to offer when the SX66 was still available in the at&t website.
MTTY doesn't have a USB option, it's only giving me COM1, COM2, COM3...
