below is an email i sent to faria seeking his help, i also decided to post it on the forum, in cae anyone else has some ideas, and in the event the problem gets solved the information is here for someone else who needs it
"I have a problem that i would really appreciate your advice on.
So i bought a cingular/att 8125 - G3 Wizard - on ebay for $40 the listing described it as having a broken lcd screen, so i bought an lcd as well replaced it and that element of it works fine. I turn it on to see that the dumbass somehow installed a rom with the IPL of 1.01 and the SPL of 3.08.
so im assuming that is the conflict keeping it from booting up properly, i can easily access the boot loader and flash almost any rom available.
my main issue is this, from what i gather, i need to bring the IPL up to at least 2 for it to be compatable, but any rom i try to flash that acctully replaces the ipl gives me , i belive an error 300 and says the updater tool is to old, so do you know any way i can update the IPL so it works.
thank you,
Adam"
Is it CID locked? I saw that message a lot when I had mismatched SPL/IPL and the CID was locked. Try running an older version of lokiwiz, it can unlock that combination (lokiwiz2b couldn't do it, but something from around October last year could).
Then try button ROM or an OEM ROM.
$40 is not bad at all, even with a broken LCD.
thanks you for the response i actully saw that post my self, but becuase of the fact that it doesnt boot beyond the splash screen i cant run active sync to use lokwiz , unless there is a way to run it without active sync and at the bootloader.
thanks though
u could always try a hard reset commanager and voice commander and then press on button and then press send once message comes up

Turned on my 8125 today and it stays on the screen with the verison of the
rom(etc) showing. I did a soft reset ... same thing.......I did a hard reset and it said format fail...... can anyone tell me what is going on here. am i lost ......can someone tell me an alternate way to get to the bootloader so that I can re-flash the rom........ I can't even get the phone to go into windows.... please please help. or am I out of 400 bucks for this phone. .....
Get into bootloader by with the device off - press and hold camera button and press power on. Multicolored bootloader screen should appear. Connect via usb - as long as you have a small usb symbol bottom left of screen you can reflash phone. (does not need to be connected via activesync to do this)
okay now look what happned
Okay thank you it worked and I was able to flash the rom. The flashed completed but it still freezes at the start up screen it says the following:
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
its stuck onthe Cingular logo screen. When I try to do a hard reset it give the error message
format has failed.....
Can this device be saved?
I gather the device has been upgraded to the leaked aku2 rom. You may have a corrupt rom.
I would try downgrading to the original stock rom ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe
more errors
it wont do the rom flash says something about wrong nbk
Your device is still cid locked then with that rom version you have to goto http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ and get it cid unlocked - cost £20 though. Your rom is too new to use faria's method that only works on rom's 2.21 and below.
May be an idea to post on wizard upgrading forum as they may have more ideas before paying out your money.
here is what i did
Well still no reply from the seller so I called the credit card company and dispute the charge. i have copies of the guys ad... and copies of the rude emails he sent me. The credit card company told me just hold on to the defective phone and the emails and they will take care of it.. Apparantly the seller was working from a Post office box he was pay apal verified. I just hope no one else falls victim to this guy.
Latest update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=363228#363228
Let me first say: I am unsure if my SIM is now unlocked and if it has a CID check. Therefore I'm unsure if the info in the related topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62496 applies. Therefore I'm posting this new topic.
I recently got a Orange SPV M600 which as far as I understand is a HTC Prophet. I am totally new to PDAs but wanting to use it with my T-Mobile sim and with a fair amount of computer knowledge on board decided to unlock it myself using imei-check.co.uk/m600unlock.php
I ran the program and it said the sim was succesfully unlocked. However when I tried to power on the device after that, it was stuck at the 3 color screen only displaying the values:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
This gave me quite a scare because the device is brand new. Soft and hard reboot bring me back to the same screen. This morning I tried running the tool again and the unlocked failed giving me a message that key / imei do not match. After rebooting it now also shows the value RUU at the upper right corner of the screen.
I read some of the posts on this forum and did a little research on Google. I think I know what my next steps should be but I'm terrified to toast my M600.. I already fell in love with it! Could you guys give me feedback before I try the following?
* Download and unzip:
xda:[email protected]/Prophet/Shipped_Complete_Updates/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip
* Follow the steps on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
Should that work?
PS: what does the RUU value mean and why did it appear after my 2nd try?
Thanks in advance guys!
Have you tried contacting IMEI-check's support?
RUU is. IIRC, radio unit upgrade and it should not have appeared.
Don't flash the rom, you might need to send it back to orange / HTC and there is no official orange downloadable rom as yet so if the device boots to 'dopod' or whatever they'll know you've messed with it. If the key does not match sounds like the unlocking has screwed your imei. Does the IMEI the app now recognises match the one you paid for the unlock for or the one on the back of the unit/ box?
Richard
IMEI-check support:
The unlock has nothing to do with your device problem. You say yourself that it already turned on directly to 3 color screen after you switched it off (sometimes this happens due to problems in HTC flash driver). For a firmware flash you don't need Orange. You can do this on your computer at home.
Both the soft and the hard reset bring me back to the same 3 color screen..

I do not think it co-incidence that you are doing a flash operation ( unlocking) and now the device will not boot. It should reboot after unlocking according to their documentation and if it went to the tri-colour screen something was amiss after the unlocking then, quite possibly becuase of it. The unlock completed succesfully the first time then?
Don't flash the dopod rom, if the IMEI now has a mis-match you may need to send it back to orange for repair / reflashing. They will be able to tell if there is a dopod rom on there and may refuse warranty - I wouldn't mention the unlocking if I were you. There is no official orange rom you can try :-(
Richard
I do not have a receipt for the phone.. is the ROM at least the one I should try if I do try one?

In the UK at least you do not need a receipt for the phone - it is based on seriel number.
http://service.htceurope.com/
Once you have tried flashing the other roms they can tell you have been flashing it and may not give warranty service, but hopefully all it really needs is a rom anyway. My warning is just in case it is not the rom that is the issue and you need to send it back.
When you run imei-check's app now what IMEI does it give for the device?
Richard
Good question, I just checked and the IMEI in their tool gives me the same one as I wrote down before the operation. It is the same as on the box and as the one I payed for to get the key for and used the first time around.
I hoped the flash would solve my problems and I tried flashing the M600 with the ROM mentioned above. 100% completed and all looked good until the reboot.. Again it will not go further then the tri-color screen with the exception that the SPL version has changed:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
Anything left to try?

Get back to IMEI-check and ask for more help? They may claim that the unit was faulty before unlocking but if so how could the unlocker run? Or try posting at www.modaco.com to see if anyone there has any ideas.
Which country was the device supplied in? Did you check the seriel in the link I gave? If it's from the UK you could send to a friend or collegue to return under warranty without paperwork ;-)
Sorry.
Richard
Well at least we made progress, a hard reset now let's the device boot but.. after I went through the settings I pressed start and it automaticly powered off.
I then inserted my T-Mobile simcard and rebooted again to find myself in the tri-color screen. Another hard reset once again let me reboot but during the boot of Windows Windows it says 'Data crashes. Please contact your service center.'
Where in the Netherlands do you live?
I have succesfully dopotted two M600 phones and I have had one repaired by Orange, for broken speaker. They did not seem to care that I flashed it to dopod.
I might be able to help you out on this one.
send me an e-mail on [email protected]
Thanks,
Robin
O, and I unlocked both also....

How did they try to unlock it?

hi
i couldn't speak to the guy who tried to unlock it, i spoke to his collegue and all he could say is that he tried to unlock by logs
now he couldn't tell me what did he use
i have tried to hard reset it but it comes back on that screen
:? :? :?
Try to load the no id DOPOD ROM.
This one will install when the M600 is in that 3 colour screen.
I did it and it worked for me.
I tried to CID unlock with a tool that contained a specific WARNING NOT TO USE for a certain ROM version, which of course I did anyway.
The warning was correct. My M600 was stuck.
By reflashing I resolved the problem.
You can always bring it back to Orange and claim that this happened after you've let the battery go dead; you did not get a chance to charge on your 1,5 month holiday ..........
Good luck!

The problem appeared today morning, while listening music using tcmp. the sound stopped suddenly, and standard animated cursor appeared over tcmp screen. i closed tcmp, and the rest of the system seemed fine, i was able to mute the phone and entered my work place. After a while i noticed the screen is off and i can not turn it on using pwr button, although green led kept blinking so the phone was operating. after a soft reset it would not go over splash screen showing IPL, SPL (which are: IPL: 1.06, SPL 1.06, GSM: 01.12.10, OS 1.6.2.4).
I've tried multiple times and still the same, only difference is that sometimes I can see the cursor and sometimes not. I can get to rgb screen and "press send to restore" as well, but that's it. I can't remember whether previously pressing a key illuminated a screen and keys, but now it doesn't. I used to have problems with screen not going black on idle since few days, but that's it. What could have happened? And if the only solution is hard reset, please tell me, could I somehow backup my contacts now? I don't have activesync here so I have to wait till I finish my work to find out..
please help anyone...
rom version : 1.6.2.4 WWE,
date : 11/15/05
radio : 01.12.10
protocol : 4.0.13.23
extrom : 1.6.2.105
That's spooky. My MDA has the same versions of IPL, SPL, GSM and OS, and this morning started misbehaving.
What's this rgb screen you can get to with the "press send to restore" option?
How do I do a hard reset (I have a backup on SD) without being able to get to the Start>Settings>System>Clear storage control panel option?
Rgb screen is a bootloader which i enter by holding cam+voicedial+commmanager butons while softreseting wizard. the other screen i mentioned i enter holding cam and voice buttons, and then pres reset. that screen says 'pres send to restore factory defaults any other key to quit' and it does hard reset if you press green button here...
my problem seems to be over for now, i managed to turn the phone on while i plugged it into a wall charger (believe me, the battery was not a problem - i don't know for how long it's ok now, but at least i made contacts backup now so that i'm ok with a hard reste if i have to...
You both have old roms and could do with upgrading them to aku2 roms. (your device will be more stable) i.e. the first number of the rom will be 2. Please dont ask me to go through how to flash a rom because there are hundreds of posts on the same topic and read the wiki - shortcut top left of the screen. You need to identify whether your device is g3 or g4 but i suspect you both have g3 chips.
Now read & read esp the wizard upgrading forum and wiki and then when you feel confident - flash your device.
mu chipset is g3 based on my ipl/spl info... i wouldn't dare to ask anyone to explain the process of flashing, i'm not that crazy. only thing i'd dare, would be to advice me what rom should i use... or a way to determine this, since i know it can't be just any rom...

Looking at your rom numbers i gather you have a t-mobile vario - is it uk or usa rom or polish - i see you live in poland.

Its prob best you sim unlock and cid unlock before you flash in case you change to a non-tmobile rom inc one of the cooked roms.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
and read dr puttingham's tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and now i have given you more than enough hints
p.s. by the way remember to write down your gprs settings and mms settings to use with your new rom.
thats right, its tmobile vario, uk one. it is sim unlocked, i'm not sure about cid but it should not be a problem. thanks for the hints, it really seems more then enough;] i'll probably have to use theese, as soon i have a spare evening...
you don't have to explain me the importance of gprs settings - forcing my wiz to work in uk's o2, then in polish plusgsm, then loosing settings and doing it again finally got me into a habbit of backing every settings up ;]
and last but not least, guys, yesterday i did my first HR ;] ...
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?
Thank you for reading my post.

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
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?

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
