I have O2 XDA Mini S, G4 HTC Wizard, but windooze is german version. Can someone help me how can I switch to English version, but safe as possible?
Flash to a new ROM would be the easiest in my opinion. Get ahold of sprite backup, backup all of your programs and such and the flash to a new G4 safe ROM that is either US ENGLISH or WWE.
I am afraid to flash G4 device... When I tried to do HardSPL, something goes wrong... In one moment, screen was white, after that, tux appear on screen, than some vertical green lines and than screen light died... And RUU said that no phone was conected?! I guess i had lucky to restore it to original state...
What do You think about that?

Everything went fine with the ROM upgrade on my Orbit. (German O2 ROM flashed to HTC English ROM successful) Flashed it twice already because it hangs up after trying to change the dialer pad. Don't like that ugly green dialer but I have tried one made for WM5 PC phones and the other I made with a program called "Dialpad Maker Deluxe." The screen will go dark if you touch it...few minutes later, it comes back but goes dark when touched. Had to reflash the ROM twice...not sure this is good for the phone. Anybody had the same problem?
please help! I have made a wrong ROM Update for my Artemis. The result is that it doeasn`t starts anymore. I see only the start screen no more. If i make a SW or HW reset tahn i see a 3 colored screen and USB. But i don`t get a connection via usb to my compute`! How can i wake up my Artemis ???
tell use more what did you do and how did you do it?
what artemis is it?
what rom was it
Flash went sour..
You need the original ROM which was on your device when you bought it. What version (HTC, MDA, etc..) and what language was the original ROM?
please i need help too
I guess I made the same or a similar mistake that dr.moppi did. My machine is a Dopod P800 from mainland china with the chinese operating system. I flahsed it with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap. Don't really remember what the original ROM was but now when i turn it on it freezes when it lights up. On the screen, it says
IPL 1.27.0001
SPL 1.27.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
DOPOD
I don't get a connection through usb to the computer either. I am not sure if I did the hard reset correctly. Didn't understand the instruction on that "press the soft key left and right and soft reset at the same time." Anyway, you guys are all experts, can you help me please?
it should be the same as my problem
if i remeber than i used the same ROM Update :-(
I hope anyone could give us a solution, please.
@dr. moppi we can only help you if we know what version you had before.
@empathyvirus you have to look for the original ROM which, in your case, should be the Chinese Dopod ROM. Install that one and your good to go.
Without the original ROM the only thing left to do is: sending your device to your provider or contact and sent it to the guys of imei-check. Either way, you'll probably have to pay to get it fixed.
how to install original rom
Thanks for your quick reply Pyth. In the case I get the original ROM from somewhere, how do I install it if I can't get a connection between the phone and my computer? Can you advice?
Put your device in bootloader by pressing the record button and reset at the same time. If you have your USB-cable connected between your PC and your phone it will indicate a connection by 'USB' in the left corner of your device. Now you should be able to run the ROM executable and update your device.
thanks anyway
i tried but it didn't seem to work. anyway, i have troubled you enough and maybe it's best i just go to the repair centre of dopod and pay for a fix. i really appreciate your help though Pyth.
Where can i find the t-mobile rom its the MDA Compact III that wont start for me
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

You need to Cid unlock your mobile to flash with **** Roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293957
but i have flashed with cooked rooms.. and i want to put original to send to HTC because my pda have some problems.
its only need update with original rom? must remove hard spl (olipo v1.30) ?
and how?!
i don't think you can ... as your boot screen always shows even if you flashed FULL ROM from original (include SPL, radio, rom....)
when i press cam, power and reset button, i got this:
TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100
SPL-1.07.0000
(no more hard-spl 1.20 i think) is this ok ?
when i power on normaly, it shows the white screen "HTC" and some numbers and radio version.
Then the screen without the numbers and goes to WM5 that I updated from the file HTC P3600_RUU_Trinity_HTC_PTG_1.23.4...blabla.....
i think my p3600 is original ? and can i sent to the manufacturer now ?
(because my screen, somethimes have some lines and i must reboot, and then, sometimes the screens stills black..) :/
Hi everybody,
I went to a store this evening in order to unlock my Polaris. The owner of the store has got a HTC herald with a problem that he wanted me to solve.
He tried to install another rom on his herald but, due to an unsuccessfull rom upgrading, the HTC is locked on a RGB screen (red green blue) with the only following indications:
RUU
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
USB (or nothing when not plugged)
Would you mind helping me? I tried several Roms, and there was only one that seemed to work (ROM HERALD_ smiley sWWE.gif _6.1.405.13_BUILD 20764.1.4.3): It gave me a progress bar on the HTC frozen at 0% while the upgrading tool on the pc told me that I needed a more recent upgrading tool.
What can I do?
Thanks for all the solutions you'll give me

Before installing cooked ROMs I believe the phone must be HardSPL'ed, and this can only be done if the SPL/IPL is 4 or above - any lower/not HardSPL'ed and the device will be bricked. The screen you are describing is the bootloader, and since you only have an IPL/SPL of 1.x I'm pretty sure you can't install custom ROMs. To unbrick the device, turn it onto the bootloader and then load the original HTC ROM that came with the device.
Hope this helps,
czhang
Dear Czhang,
I tried several times to enter in bootloader, but it's impossible as it starts with the bootloader menu! I can't change anything about that, even by soft resets, reset+camera, reset+buttons...
Do ya think this could work properly? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417930
As I am stucked with 1.08.0001 SPL, There is nothing to do. All the users who tried to unbrick their phone didn't got it working, except one who changed the motherboard for... 200$ ! The price of a used HTC Herald in very good conditions!
Still looking for help
Thanks
Nounou7701
sorry to say sir but your ipl and spl should have been 4.0 or higher and also HardSPL'ed. i'm pretty sure your device is bricked. GL on finding a way to fix it or buying a new one. =D
Nounou7701, though you cannot flash a cooked ROM with IPL/SPL 1.x you can definitely flash the official ROM from HTC.
AAAARRRGGHHH! thanks to everyone for the (bad ) news... I'll try to buy a mothercard, just like another user did...
Have a nice evening

He didn't head the warning of the SPL requirements. You can easily revive it using the GoldCard method. (Search for the term "goldcard herald".)
HTC P4350 do not switch on after a bad SPL
