hey all,
any help that any one can offer would be great. First off what had happen was that I was installing a new rom onto my G3 Wizard, the after it was complete the phone restarted but didn't get passed the loading windows screen. On top of that, now when I connect my phone the to the computer activesync doesn't read the phone or charge the battery. Is there anything I could do to fix this.
Read the Wiki (XDA-Wiki). Link button at top of this screen. Look at the Wizard section on how to unbrick your phone.

hello everyone. i just bought a g3 wich remains stuck in the ipl/spl screen. i tried VIPPIE 's tutorial (many thanks man for ur work) and flash button rom 1.05 to revive the phone. it flashed without any error , but same result. phone doesnt pass the ipl/spl screen. next i tried to flash Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102, flashed ok but nothing happend. i m just stuck on the ipl/spl screen. the phone isnt bricked but i can not start it to do a soft spl and flash it. any ideas ?
because it s an o2 xda mini s , i thought an original o2 rom would do the trick (start the phone) but i couldnt find an original rom (tried the xda dev ftp page and the o2 one).
many thanks
ps:sorry for the double posting(wizard+wm6) but now i figured out that since my phone doesnt start and hasnt a wm6 rom on it , the place for this thread is here

Is it the Bootloaders screen(Tricolor) with IPL/SPL or initial loading screen with ipl/spl ?
What ipl/spl...? it displays at the moment ?
You can try to get into Bootloaders mode (tricolor screen) by pressing and holding down the camera button and press the Soft Reset button at the same time with the stylus or turn off the phone and while pressing and keeping holding down the camera button,Power On the phone,it'll wake up and go into Bootloaders (tricolor screen).if it goes into bootloaders,connect your phone to the pc via usb and check if small usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders screen,if its there run the Ruu to flash,But first post your present ipl/spl..? here.
Cheers
hmm , this is from XDADeveloperWiki
Once the flash is done and your Wizard is rebooted, it will display an IPL of 1.xx and an SPL of 2.xx.

well, in my case , after button rom flashes wizard displays IPL 1.01 SPL 1.03 and after i flash the xda_mini_launch_rom it displays IPL 1.03 SPL 1.05 . NOT SPL 2.xx as mentioned in the tutorial . why ?
zabardast_1 - many thanks for the quick reply mate. it starts with the ipl spl screen. i wrote the values above.
i get it into bootloader with the camera + on button , bot the active sync on the systray , doesnt activate, it remains grey (like no device is connected). weird stuff.
yesterday i just upgraded a g4 wizard to wm6 and everything went smooth , an now

ok,after flashing button's rom or xda_mini you'll certainly have an ipl/spl 1.xx,cuz these roms have actually ipl/spl 1.xx,they are aku 1.xx roms,it's required to have ipl/spl 1.xx to use lokiwiz02b tool to SIM/CID unlock the phone,only then it can be upgraded to any wm6 roms.But to upgrade to wm6 its essential to have ipl/spl 2.xx,so to get to ipl/spl 2.xx,you have to flash your phone with T-mobile 2.26,then it'll show an ipl/spl 2.xx as required,ok
Cheers
thanks mate , but in order to do the lokiwiz soft spl i need to have a working phone (i need to write the cab into my phone and execute). by doing so , my phone needs to work after flashing the button rom or the xda mini launch rom (right?). but mine , after flashing, remains in the ipl/spl screen (not the bootloader).
if i flash an o2 xda mini original rom , do i have a chance to revive the phone and to start it in order to apply the lokiwiz soft spl ?
Activesync will not work in bootloaders mode,bootloaders cut off the activesync,you can only verify the connectivity between your phone and pc,if in bootloaders,connect the phone to the pc via usb cable and check if small usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders,if its there then just flash the rom,there's no need to establish connection through activesync,ok

YES ! first of all you got to have a working OS on the phone to activesync,only the you can perform with lokiwiz02b,ok
ok , so what should i do in order to start it succesfully and use lokiwiz. i cant find an original o2 rom and button rom or launch rom doesnt start my phone. what can i do ?
the o2 roms were deleted from xda dev ftp
ps : mate , if u r kind , log in to yahoo or msn , i m trying to contact u . ty
after a lot of searching and digging, i found the missing xda dev ftp O2 original roms . i flashed Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 , everything went ok , same result. doesnt pass the ipl spl screen. tried RUU_Wizard_1050402_101_11210_O2_ENG and same thing. im getting really confused. my pc responses when i connect the wizard, it flashes with no errors , but it wont start. what can i try more ?
ohh, i have made a new nasty descovery: when i keep pressed down the comm button and the voice button and press the reset with stylus, the phone turns off and restarts in spl/ipl screen instead of hard resseting. is it really messed up ?
I'm afraid m8,it has most probably some hardware issues,better get it checked by some techy or mobile repair shop.
Cheers !
thanks mate. you are most probably right. do you have any idea what should be checked and how ? i ask this because the software part is clearly damaged.
can i revive it using mtty program ? as a last resort. some mtty commands ? ty
Does anyone know where I can get my Cingular Wizard fixed? My phone froze one time, and I had to take out my battery and after that I was unable to boot up again. Is there a HTC place in hong kong that does that or in NOrth America?

If you really had a G4 device and you did all of the above then you have bricked it. G4's cannot be CID Unlocked via lociwiz (unless something recently changed), and flashing IPL/SPL 3.08 is NOT compatible to a G4 device and that will brick it.
Sorry, but you shouldn't flash a phone (especially if its not even yours) if you don't understand what you are doing. Without further details (and please don't use all caps. I don't care how "scared" you are) there is nothing else anyone here can do to help you. You need to give complete details of what the phone does now. If you can get to (and see) the tri color screen, then its probably recoverable. If the phone won't turn on, then its probably bricked.
Can I ask why you were flashing your brother's phone? Did you have permission?

Like my previous post, how about some details. Does the phone go to the Bootloader (tri color) screen? If it does, what are the numbers and info on that screen?
I loaded some huge apps to my storage card tried to use the app. which froze my device. the wizard turns on. but shows the first screen with the phone info. then the second screen that say windows mobile. but it always stay on the second screen
I'd just use the terra thing to format it completely and reflash to a new rom
I dragged my Mini s out of the draw thinking it dead for the past few months, after using the battery jump start trick got her up and running again. now, after using mobile 6 on my other HTC i wanted to upgrade on this one, nothing fancy just bog standard mobile 6. its an O2 G4 model, I also checked it with the wizard service tool. I then used the hard SPL G$ tool to unlock it, that went fine. the device repowered and worked. I then tried to load in windows mobile 6 from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355591
after its started the flash I got an error message saying "error 300 invalid update tool" please get a newer tool, I have tried to run it again and now get the message " error 2641 cannot connect " and now all I have is an XDA with a red, green and blue screen showing IPL2.21.0001, SPL 2.21,0lip and "usb" in the bottom left corner
is it bricked? can I recover it, I will be gutted if it is bricked as I followed the instructions to the letter
btw I havnt disconnected it from the USB at all, just leaving it there until I get somne advice from here
update, bit the bullet and unplugged, soft reset and its all as it should be, on windows mobile 5.
so my question now is why didnt the Rom update in the link above work? or am I just a noob doing it wrong...
try downloading another rom and flash it again...even if it isn't connected in activesync ignore that and flash away...if that still doesn't work try your original rom wm5 and then flash a wm6 again...it's not bricked(see below)

Your ROM Update may not have worked because, maybe it was not built for the G4 Wizard. so try anyother ROM
xda2_hasseb most of the WM6 roms available for download on xda-developers are G4 safe as they don't conntain ipl and spl flash....so you can safely flash a Windows Mobile 6 rom without bricking your Wizard
'XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 FINAL' is the latest custom build wm6 rom,build for both the devices,it can be flashed to both the devices G3 and G4 safely,its one of the most favourite roms.
Thakx xardas_90, i knew they didnt had the IPL and SPL with them but i didnt knew that it was IPL & SPL not the ROM it self that caused the Bricking of the G$ WIzards i thought Windows ROM for G3 and G4 were different but THANKS for the info. TC
Thanks for the advice, got it done and works a treat, except no data transfer or sms or net conncetion, still soldiering on, at best it will work, at worst, well i guess my son gets a hand me down lol

You need to get GPRS/MMS settings configured,get these settings from your carrier,only then you'll be able to connect to internet/SMS/MMS, or check out the 'XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 FINAL' rom thread,you might find the appropriate GPRS/MMS settings there of your concerned network.
First of all I am so sorry to bother you all!!!, as I can see from 3 days of non stop reading here and e;sewhere, its not always liked to ask questions, but I am sorry I really need help!
I bought a 8125 cingular from eBay (bought a x01ht but it hasnt arrived)
I have read seriously so much I am now confused! But I have tried to research this 100%
when I got the phone yesterday, I first sim unlocked it with the "All HTC" unlocker.. then I used unlock ext rom wizard, and Likiwiz02 for the cid.. I did see it say "your phone is superCID" unlocked or what ever...
I then tried to flash with x2h_wm 6.5 and it went through the steps like it should and finished and said your rom is updated, BUT when the phone rebooted, it was like it went DOWN not up.. I lost alot of things and now it said G not E for network, I had less signal, and had the roaming Icon. Well, after that My XP computer would no longer recognize the device.. I would plug it in and it would charge, and the active sync tries to connect but after a few minutes it says it can not connect.
I am able to "sometimes" connect top my Vista" device, BUT I have not yet mastered being able to flash a rom with Vista... as I always get RUU is closing, because of error.. and it leaves my phone in bootloader RUU mode, so i have to reset it. I have tried the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723 and One time I was able to get pretty far without an errors from RUU, but it said I needed a newer version.. or something, and after that I am unable to do it do any RUU on vista, although most of the time I can get it to connect by going to the services- and restarting wm 2003 thing"
This is the details of my device (and yes I know is a G3)
IPL & SPL :2.25
gsn: 02.25.11
os: 2.25.11.1
Ext Rom: 2.25.11.102
Radio: 02.25.11
Rom 2.25.11.1 WWE (build 14928.2.2.0)
protocol ver: 4.1.13.12
My question is.. What am I doing wrong? How can I get either XP to connect, or Vista to run RUU?
Can I flash by sd card.. ( I have seen both yes and no, and am confused on how to do it)
Tweeks I have done is installed a cab to remove roaming icon, reg. changed the G to E for Edge... Speed it up bu changing mem. and I think that's pretty much it!
Scream at me and call me stupid, BUT Please help me.. There are 10000000000000 different HOW TO all over the place, and all are different, and I really just would like a little PERSONAL help from someone..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
Tony
Also.. On the Activesync issue.. I have uninstalled and delete all tracers on my xp laptop and reinstalled both the newest version , and when it did the same, I uninstalled and reinstalled an older version... Still the same!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
best thing is to start with reading the wiki
Read it over and over...
I am not just saying it when I say I have searched and searched!
UPDATE
Although I received no answers, I thought I would upddate... I am so embarrassed, as the active sync was an easy fix.. (disable Firewall) I cannot believe it is that simple, as it was working fine before with firewall..
Ok I am following the instructions now flashing with XP button rom, etc etc.. Will follow up later!
Ok progress!
Well, I was able to flash to phone to button rom, and then CID unlock it with lokiwiz, but My IPL and SPL are different. SO i flashed button rom again, and its still the same... Can I go ahead and flash back up, or what do I need to do?
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.25

I am so ANGRY... I got to 100 % and my cat hit the cable and Now its stuck in RUU... I am looking for a fix.. ANY HELP PLEASE?
OK... got it going again... flashing back down to button, the only one that would connect.. and I will build my way back up...
Sorry for posting so much.. and thanks for the help!
I have flashed to T mobile 2.26.10.2 , IPL/SDL are both 3.08 And I have tried several times to go beyond WM5.0 but It never loads.. Any advice...
Thanks
Connect the phone to the PC and run Wizard Service Tool and press Enab. RAPI + Unsigned Apps button.
Then press CID Actions Button and Read CID block, this will tell you if your CID unlocked.
Well, I will try that, BUT I am assuming since I have a Tmobile ROM on a ATT phone its no longer unlocked???
When I ran the unlocker it said it was now SuperCID unlocked or whatever..
I will do the Service tools and see.. and Post back soon! THANKS
It is locked!
OK.. I ran the tools and it said it was CID locked... this was the results (not sure if usefull or not)
Checksum : fb67d2a2
CID: WIZCNG01
Its funny because when I ran the other lokiwiz it said it was unlocked..
I tried to unlock it and it said downgrade SPL to 1.06 or less.. AND thats the problem... When I Loaded Button rom the 4 different times I have had to flash it.. THE SPL never changes down.. One time I flashed it, I repeated it 3 times as per some instructions i seen that if you flash it again it will change.. NOPE did not change, the IPL always changes, BUT SPL stays the same.. SO If I flash again, this is the results SPL 3.08 IPL 1.01
Can anyone help me .. maybe use a diffrent rom instead of button?
HELP PLEASE!
THANKS
Have you tried to go back to the original ROM?
Problem solved
I am still tinkering, and adding patches now... BUT I was able to get wm6.5 (VERY SLOW ON MY WIZARD) so I went back to button rom, and installed XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 ROM, and I LOVE IT!!! like I said I am still adding stuff and playing with it, but so far its better than WM6 I have on my Cheetah (treo750)...
I will add the steps I took , and trial and error steps, so other people that are impatient and ask questions like I did, will know what to do.,.. BUT let me play with my new toy for a while!!!
One question.. Should I stay with IPL/SPL 2.26? Or should I go back up to 3.08 or ?????
Thanks
