Hi guys. I have a problem:
I don't want to have any warranty problems, but I don't want to use WM5 either. Vodafone gave me refurbished prophets several times, even after I had flashed AKU3.3 on it, the red theme was enough for vodafone, they didnt ask for a original rom, but I don't want to mess with my luck, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a WM5 rom backup ready:
I made a backup of the rom with the grab_it tool, but I have no idea how to convert it into a flashable format, like nbf.
I tried the "r2sd all" command on a jumpspl'd phone (mtty 1.1/1.42 and trueterm, none of these did work), but it gets stuck after some time, so that doesn't help either.
Dumping with aWizard didnt work the last time I tried it. The os was there I think, but without the bootlogo. And that isnt that great either.
Sadly Vodafone made xda-developers remove their rom backups from the ftp server. damn you vodafone .
So How do I get now get a backup of my rom? I can't hardspl it, because I need a backup of the 2.15 spl too and I dont know any other way to cid unlock my phone.

Hi I made a very big mistake i flashed my cingular 8125 (g4) unlocked by IMEI-CHECK. I flashed it with molski aku 3.2 and when it reset the Cingular Extende Rom is the one that automaticaly gets lunched. So I unlocked my extended rom with Unlock_ext_rom_wizard_1 and reflashed again expectine that when config will be finished then the molski extended rom will lunch but no succes so I dont know how i errased the auto run on the extended rom and when i reboted it no my Cingular extended rom dont run and neither molski or farias I even cooked an extended rom but It have never auto runed again I do have backup of the original which I made with awizard 1.2 and other wiyh beta1.3 but I place it into phone memory or phone sd and it never runs I have to do it manually. Im tired of doing it manually and of it I want to instal another rom like molski's or Farias or maybe even cook my oun but I don't know how to make it autorun again. My extended rom in the phone is empty now because y got so p#$% with it that I erased it for compleate. I there a way that I can do it work again. Worst than this is that this damm (G4) dont let you do an sd backup image and the Cingular 8125 RUU2.25 its not intended to reflash a g4.
make sure that you have the config file and the autorun.exe file!!! if you dont have one of these it will not work at all!!!
I guess you alreay know this. I was having the problem the other day that it would get half way though and would stop!!! so i went back to the old one and i will try again whe i have more time!!!
Maybe you could tell me what you are putting in your E_rom and put the cinfig txt on here! you may have a small error.
Hey all,
I am sorry posting the repeated question again, but this has a bit of a twist, and to this, i searched and didnt find any answer around.
My friends just bought a HTC P3300 from China. It came with a chinese DOPOD rom.
I had the original Shipped htc rom with me there so i upgraded my 1st friends mobile, with the shipped rom successfully, and then upgraded it to wm6 successfully.
now when i flashed my 2nd friend's device with the HTC Shipped rom, the upgrade process went to 3% and then the device just restarted and got stuck on the Initial dopod boot screen.
It is not moving from there.
So i downladed a couple of other roms, including the DOPOD ship rom,. but when i try to upgrade it, it says " ERROR:200, The Upgrade Software is outdated" kinda message!
now can someone please guide me how can i bring alive my friends rom, what is it i should do to successfully install some rom in it in English.
Please help!
thanks a lot!
Hi all,,
Please someone help me out with this problem...
Which rom should i try, or what is the problem with this?
Thanks a lot.
Did you cid unlock the hone either with USPL or IMEIcheck? If so, you should be able to load an OEM rom back on the phone. Try the HTC WWE WM5 rom or the German WM6...I dont see any reason why an unlocked phone wont accept at least one of those.
hi itschase...
No, i dont know if it was cid unlocked or not.
About USPL or IMEICHECK, nothign was done on it.
As i mentioned, one phone got flashed successfully, but the other failed!
I have tried the HTC WWE WM5 shipped rom, if thats what u are hinting to, but not the German WM6.
I have a crazy idea...
My phone is not bricked, but I was able to try running the USPL ROM Update utility on my phone from bootloader. I have zero idea if this would unbrick your phone, but its worth a shot - cant get much worse (or can it?). Download the USPL file, and run just the rom update utility with your phone in bootloader. After it resets your phone, put it back into bootloader and try reinstalling an OEM rom. I am probably wasting your time, but its worth a shot....
s
aaaaa
llllll
Insane Devil:
you need original rom for your device (with correct model id).
this should flash your device.
in the future, install uspl on your device before upgrading rom.
regards,
Factory Roms should be able to help u out in this...?

Good Idea but ... not correct!
Your device might be CID locked and you were able to run USPL from bootloader, because ... you already have had USPL. Am I right?
my friend owns an 8525 and all of a sudden it stopped working (cant make/recieve calls and text messages). i tried doing a hard reset and it didnt work. he called att and the tech guy told him that his phone needs to reinstall the rom, which also didnt work. he bought a new phone and gave me the hermes so that i can play around with it. i tried installing wm6 on it and at 15% the update stopped.. and the phone reset itself. now.. it doesnt have a rom installed and keeps on going to the tricolor screen. i tried the unbrick method (in the wiki) several times and still no luck. it keeps telling me that i dont have enough ram but the booting still wont start. what are my other options for fixing this?... my kaiser was bricked before and i did the unbrick method for that and it work.. i havent tried that yet but is there any chance that it will work..?..
he doesnt need the phone anymore but hes hoping that itll be fixed so he can use it as a backup phone.. so.. yea.. any other ideas for ressurecting an old friend?
thanks!!
Sounds like the radio rom is dead.... Whats the SPL? You have a chance if it has Hard SPL installed - should say SPL - 2.10 olipro.
If so, try flashing a stock rom first, then a radio only rom. If you get no love, flash a cooked rom on it. I'd do it using the sd card method.
It should work as a PDA if you can't flash the radio, but its a brick cos no more phone calls...
If he doesn't want that, he could sell it on ebay for spare parts...
Cheers...
I just went through a similar situation last night. I am running dvh_79's v16 (build 19965.1.2.3) Lite. I added his HTC Today Plugin from the sdauto zip file but didn't like how the Today plugin slowed down my phone, so I uninstalled it and that's when my radio took a dump.
I used the instructions in the Hard SPL forum post #116 to unbrick it using the same rom and radio .nbh files and it went off without a hitch.
The first thing anyone should flash onto their phone is Hard SPL v7. Even before any skins. It won't make you 100% safe from bricks, but I'm damn glad I had it on there this morning while I was reinstalling my phone.
BTW ultramag69, I saw a lot of posts by you in various threads talking about unbricking a phone, and correct me if I am wrong, but if I have olipro 2.10 SPL on my phone (which I do), is it possible to initiate an install of a ROM image without being able to successfully boot the OS on the phone? Does Olipro automatically look for HERMIMG.nbh on the SD card? That was a point of confusion for me at first until I ran the HARDSPPL.exe file, but then again my phone didn't brick to the point I couldn't boot the OS.
What are the choices if you cannot boot OS? Are there any that can be performed from the bootloader itself?
Thanks.
well.. i did the kaiser unbrick procedure.. the mtty thingy.. it kinda worked. after that i installed the dopod wm6 rom... it handled the wm6 well---for a while.. after booting, the phone would turn off by itself (w/ 100% battery of course) or even restart itself..
sometimes it will stay on and be "fully functional" (w/o the calling and messaging still...) but somehow freezes when i look at the device information, specifically in the page where it displays the imei (which is missing btw...)..
the "phone" function doesnt work either, as it doesnt show the dialer.. and then after a few minutes, the phone finally freezes...
idk why this happens.. i tried installing other roms but the rom update always freezes. i tried 4 different roms already... so i had to do the mtty thing again...
(i have hardspl installed)
Codevyper, IF YOU HAVE hARD SPL INSTALLED, yes you can run the os flash. Just put the sd card in and reset. As the Hermes is going to the bootloader anyway it will recognise the flash file "hermimg.nbh". I've successfully fixed my phone when thats happened.
akosiryan, it sounds like you may have a corrupted radio rom. This is not gonna make you happy but this is ,at this point, almost 100% unbrickable. You could try to flash a radio only rom - no os, just the radio - but if it gets stuck and you've tried the stock rom then it looks like its a permanent brick...
You should be able to use as a PDA if you don't play with the phone functions though...
Just as a last shot, you could always use MTTY to check for bad blocks BUT this requires you to downgrade the SPL to 1.10 olipro to fix if you do. Please note though that sometimes the carrier does give you a couple of bad blocks to "brand" it as theirs...
Best of luck.

Thanks ultramag69! I am indeed running olipro 2.10 on my phone so it makes me feel better knowing that if I can get the nbh on the card, then I can flash the ROM that way.
oh well.. me and my friend decided to sell his phone on ebay or sumthin..lol.. so its not a problem.. ill try to do one last step tho.. like flashing the radio only rom to see if itll work.. but i dont really care anymore.. lol.
No problem... If the Ebay from where you're from is like Aussie ebay, you should get approximately 1/2 to 2/3 the price that the working models go for. Generally the price goes up about 6 hours before the end of the auction with the price skyroketing in the last 10 mins... I'd probably give it a few days on Ebay to make sure people see it....
If you do get the radio rom working, Hermes (jasjam/dopod 838 pro) go for about $250 - $350Aud in Oz.
Cheers...
ok then! thanks
Hi!
I've been trying some WM6 Roms for my QTEK 9100.
Before I flashed it I did a backup of the phone and ended up with 10 *.fls files.
Now I would like to restore the phone to the original state. Can I do it with these files or is it too late?
Thanks!
Backup files?
I think the backup was just for the personal files like the pimbackup does...
I know that making the hardSPL or unlockin lokiwiz or WST makes the phone loose its warranty I mean no full restore at all but you can back to your original WM% if you have it... on G3 but for G4 hardSPLed you need something more ask on G4 forum please if you are G4.
I have a G3.
I made the backup with a program called WST (Wizard Service Tool).
I can choose write rom from that program but not sure if I will brick my phone if I do it.
The files I have is:
WST_20080824-2226_CID.fls
WST_20080824-2226_EXTROM.fls
WST_20080824-2226_GSMCAL.fls
WST_20080824-2226_GSMRADIO.fls
WST_20080824-2226_HTC_Logo.fls
WST_20080824-2226_IPL.fls
WST_20080824-2226_OS.fls
WST_20080824-2226_SPL.fls
WST_20080824-2226_SPLASH.fls
WST_20080824-2226_UA.fls
Mmmmm neither me...
I already unlocked my wizard when WST has release its first version so why you dont post this trouble on the WST Thread? use the search button to get into the WST thread, maybe the developer can answer your question... and you will be sure about this kind of tricks.
Good luck men!!!
In urgent help I was updating my herald to NEW Simply Everything 6.5.1 Build 23420 when the update got stuck on 28% and then got error image corrupt. my herald restarted in bootloader mode and since its been like this my IPL AND SPL ARE 4.17. Please someone help. i will be really thankfull to you guys if you can give me an easy way out. i really dont want to do the goldcard thing again as its really difficult to get other WM phone to write the security thing in the memory card. at the moment any rom well do i just sold my other phone and the same day this happen so i dont have any phone. please help
Have you got a Herald or a T-Mobile Wing? If you have a Wing, just go into bootloader and install the T-Mobile ROM. Seems to me like you didn't HardSPL before you tried to upgrade. If you have a Herald then I am not sure what to tell you to be honest:/

You should be able to flash while being in that mode.
Connect the phone through USB, and try flashing again. Try flashing to a different ROM, if necessary.
Well i have a HTC P4350 so i guess it Herald. well and yes i didnt Hardspl it's my bad was just too happy that i could update to the coustomised roms that u briliant guys are making here, but i have flashed like so many roms wm 6.1 to now adays the latest wm 6.5.1. but this never really happened. yes i am able to start the RUU it checks the device the when i click update it goes to either 2% or 3% and thats it gives me the image corrupt error.

Yea, it means that you're trying to flash a ROM that requires you to be HardSPLed and flashed through SD Card, since the .NBH file is too small to be flashed through PC.
Either HardSPL your phone and follow the instructions for flashing through SD, OR find another ROM that doesn't require you to flash through SD card.
i have tride many roms but they r doing the go to 1 or 2 percent and the device resets. i will be really thankfull if you can tell me which rom to use exactly
