look in the upgrading etc. sub forum of the Wizard forums. There is a sticky there that is titled [READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide for Unlocking G3 Wizards. It will tell you everything you need to do to unlock your phone. Just don't skip any of the steps they are all important. There is no reason to pay someone $100 to unlock your phone, you can do it yourself in less than an hour by following these instructions. And by the information you have posted you have a G3 device which makes your life a whole lot easier.

goooood stuff just waiting for a friend to get back to me and ill swing over to his place since my windows 2000 machine here is junk.
i have to find out how to backup all my contacts though because i dont want to lose them. once i have the phone unlocked is it a good idea to overclock it and install WM6 ? i dont wanna kill my device though

umm, you could just connect to a pc and sync your contacts up in Outlook. There are also software options to back them up but database structure changes between WM5 and WM6 will make a restore impossible. Syncing them up through an activesync connection with a PC is your best bet for backing up contacts.
You could also copy them all to your SIM though I don't know if all fields are preserved if you do that.
As far as overclocking goes, I would suggest you use the battery status plugin and use application specific overclocking, as most things will not need or benefit from over clocking.
If you are flashing to CUSTOM rom make sure you CID unlock as well as the SIM unlock that you need to do so that you can use the phone. They are 2 different unlocks one blocks other carriers sims, the other blocks other carriers, or custom roms.
You should also back up your EXT Rom before flashing a custom or a different carrier rom. It will make recovering your GPRS/MMS settings and other carrier specific settings easier.

alrighty ive downgraded the rom to buttons cooked rom and tried to run the lokiwiz.bat and it doesnt do anything, i dont get a code or anything. I run it from the C:/ and press U to unlock and heres what i get:
Type the letter and press Enter: U

Thatsbthe procedure to CID (not SIM) unlock a phone if I understand what you did. Since you are this far finish that procedure (use the sticky by Dr P found in Wizard upgrading). You can use the thread I pointed you to, to SIM unlock your device.

yeah i read that guide and downgraded the rom now when i boot i get these:
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.26
OS 1.5.4.2
GSM 01.12.10
when i run the lokiwiz it doenst give me any codes though, like when i hit the unlock.

CID unlocking won't give you codes, but make sure you follow all of the steps (your other post indicated some errors when you did the lokiwiz). Did you put enabler.rapi n your phone and run that first? Also make sure the lokiwiz files were placed right on the root of C:\ (just like Step 5 says).
Also, once you get the Lokiwiz unlock to work, then you'll need to do the button rom again to get the SPL down to 1.xx. Then you can move back to an official ROM (like T-Mobile 2.26). After you finish that, then do the lokiwiz .3a that was in the post I referred you to, and that one will give you codes.

yeah i ran that made sure it was installed on the phone. I also made sure i was guest when i sync'ed to the phone. lokiwiz was also in the C:/ directory and ran with the prompt like normal.
As far as i know im suppose to downgrade the rom from what i posted in #1 to button's rom. Which i have installed but my SPL is 2.26. When i get the unlock codes and they work i run the same Button rom installer to lower the SPL to 1.x then i can upgrade to a newer faster rom correct?
I know these seem like really newb questions and stuff but i THINK i have an idea on whats going on i just keep getting thoughs errors and no unlock code for the phone.
Kind regards,
Eddy

i never did a CID unlock though, and i still think i managed to downgrade to buttons rom? is that even possible lol?

Your IPL will go down then after you CID unlock you can flash it again and your SPL version will be the same as your IPL version.
Did you execute enablerapi on your device prior to choosing the selection in the lokiwiz menu?

Yes, thats how you do a CID Unlock. You downgrade to button. So thats fine and totally expected...

WHy do you keep saying about getting unlock codes. I've told you 2 or 3 times now that you will NOT get codes by doing this process. You run the lokiwiz once doing the U and the phone will reboot. Then you run it again doing the C and the phone will reboot. Nowhere in the instructions does it say that you will get codes. After you complete those steps, since your SPL is 2.xx, you have to do the button rom again and that should take your SPL to 2.xx (if it doesn't do it a few times until it does). Then (and only then) you can flash the T-Mobile 2.26 official rom to get your IPL/SPL back to 2.26. Then go back to the original post I gave you to do the actual SIM unlock (and thats where you will get codes.

Invalid Vendor Id and upgrade to wm6

i have the c800 with rom 1.7 , i would like to upgrade to newer version at 1.8 but at 2 % was stoping with note : INVALID VENDOR ID
Can somebody help me to this problem, i would like to upgrade to wm 6 and need the radio version more than 2.71 instead the original asia at 2.69
This lowest version make the signal always keep searching on gsm..with wm 6 os , really sad for this problems..hoping somebody can help this problem

Invalid Vedor ID means that your device is CID-locked, so you can only flash official ROM's to your phone. You can however unlock your phone at imei-check.co.uk.. BUT a person has already bricked his device with this, because it did not work properly! At this tim of speaking there is no alternative for CID-unlocking.

CID unlock...
...i have an Herald to. The OS was in finish(i think)...the only way i found to write an WWE OS...wrote to IM CHECK.CO.UK...in same day send me the application for my IMEI to unlock. I made the unlock under Vista Home Premium...now i have a brand new WWE OS in my HERALD.
Try it...it realy work.

CID unlock...
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/

But the CID unlock for what is? It's for a phone which is blocked to a company?

While the phone is on, press the soft reset button with the stylus while holding the camera button. You should then see a tri-colored screen(this is the bootloader mode, to exit simply soft reset again). What version does it say next to IPL? If it is 4.0 or higher, you need to flash HardSPL, found here. Don't do it anyway if your IPL is lower than that, it will turn your phone into an expensive doorstop. If you do have the right IPL, then proceed to flash the HardSPL, then choose your ROM and install it. However keep in mind, you won't be able to install any official ROMs while HardSPL'd. But official ROMs suck anyway.

need help htc 8125

hi i was trying to flash my friends htc 8125 with the tutorial on this web and now i just have 3 color display or boot mode i think. im new this was my first time i flashet first with buton ... flash but not work error 302 but after i flash with alternative flash was in the tutorial and i get an error to so i dont know what to do how to repair
HTC CINGULAR 8125
IPL 1.05
SPL 1.05

I'm kinda of new too, but I believe you just have to pick the rom u want to flash up to. U r at the ideal ipl & spl. I just did that to mine about a week ago and then flashed it EXACTLY like forum said and then just update to 3.XXIPL & 3.XXSPl. After which I picked 1 of the TNT rOMs and wella! try to flash it up now

i dont know wheres to find the roms do you have a link or something

Have you CID unlocked yet?

Obviously not unlocked yet!
Cause he stucks on step 1 !
hahahaha upgrade an original rom... try the 2.26 tmobile not 3.08 please...

Hey Que
I will be getting T-Mobile any hour today...
I will be following all the instructions and try to use a Cingular card on it.

I'm trying to decide what to use for updating the rom on this 8125 the ipl reads 2.25 the spl reads 2.25. in the tutorial there isnt any mention of these that I can ascertain. the other numbers are os 2.25.11.1 gsm 02.25.11
Is this even a necessity. The unit shuts down and is very difficult to get restarted, seems to be a good unit, just looking to make it more reliable. Thanks in advance for the help.

Your phone is running the official cingular stock rom and has official IPL/SPL 2.25 (Bootloaders),its nothing to be worried about,now it depends if you prefer to reflash the official wm5 rom or wud like to upgrade to latest wm6.1 custom build roms.
If you want to keep official then download the official wm5 stock rom and simply flash it,but if you desire to upgrade to latest wm6.1 rom,as no official wm6 roms are provided,therefore,you'll have to flash a custom build wm6.1 rom,and for that you'll have to get your phone CID unlocked.

my phone is in boot mode i dont have the roms im new wheres can i find the rom that you say the tmobile my phone was with the original cingular rom or where can i find the original one

mmmmm ok!
I dont have the link but you an enter in wiki section for wizard... is a thread that said wizard goes wiki click there and then it tooks you to the wiki pages! there... you can found a link that takes you to the original roms... choose the one you see for cingular..... some links are broken so dont desperate maybe we can found other one... if you dont get it there you can choose the search tool just follow my steps on my signature says The XDA search culture...
Dont be afraid men you only need to use some more things to start unbricking your phone... (I hope so) many things tooks time cause we dont read enough now lets work men!!!
Well avoiding duplicatted posts this is gonna change many times
Here is my RUU without ID http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429327&page=9
I didnt found the cingular but try to unzip the exe file with winrar... the nk.nbf can be cutted and pasted in the RUU folder to upgrade it without ID vendor permissions... we will on touch men!

Xplain more
Xplain more of your problem remember that unlock upgrade flashing dids most be done on XP and without SIM and MiniSD pluged... be sure your batt is full charged and your USB cable dont have troubles.
Can you privide more info abour exactly what you have done... please men we need all you got
OH remember not to use so much your phone on Bootloader screen cause we need the batt almost 70% to downgrade unlock and upgrade again it dont charge in RGB screen.

About getting official Wizard Cingular ROMs.
I called HTC and Cingular they say that HTC is not licensing the Wizard WM6 from Microsoft anymore, so they are not supplying the ROMs for the public.
No official support from Cingular/HTC on Wizard for WM6 or 5 for that matter.

I'm new to pdas I've only ever had cell phones so with that in mind its confusing as to where to start. I'm electronic savvy when it comes to car repair, however some of this is daunting at best. I'd like to take this semi-bricked wizard to the next level.
Everytime I find what I'm looking for the webpage is obsolete, what to do?

First,always post the DOC Chip version of the phone,what is the IPL/SPL of the phone.
Secondly,what exactly is the problem and what you want to do ?

the ipl/spl are at 2.25 and the specific problem is that wen in hibernate mode the only way to work with it is to remove the battery to restore functionality, then that resets the factory settings of time and date and also drops calls etc.

Its a G3 version,download the official stock wm5 rom from here and flash it:-
http://download.america.htc.com/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.exe
But,if you want to upgrade to latest wm6 then follow this link and do it correctly as the guide reads :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
Good luck

Well I think its bricked no screen and no charge light, should I buy a new battery or just sell it for parts? I really tried to find the correct place to update and I goofed what can I say its my responsibility, is thereanymore I can do from this point?

G3 devices don't get Bricked like this,by just flashing a rom,untill and unless you have flashed any G4 IPL/SPL on it,otherwise,G3 phones never get Bricked.So most probably its the battery,try to get the battery charged or get another battery from a friend and confirm it.

As an update and thank you very much. I purchased a new battery and the the store was good enough to pre charge it. We installed the above official wm5 file and its currently going throuh re updating itself. I did happen to notice that it now has an AKU2 file. Is this an update over and above what I had originally?
Once again thanks....
Are there any problems with 3G sim cards because when I installed the card the phone reacts as if there is no battery. No charge indicator or any activity.
Problem solved, it helps to have the sim card properly seated.......

Thanz!
You are most welcome,glade its working.
Yes,the above rom is AKU 2,its an upgrade to your previous official Rom,always try to keep the battery fully charged,as it creates many problems if it gets below the required retention charge of 30%.
Try out the Guide I posted above and see if you can get it CID unlocked and upgraded to latest wm6.1 rom,thats where the fun begins....!

You could always put your phone into bootloader and flash a radio

How can i do that
how can i know wich radio do i need

You flash a radio the same way you would flash a rom. First of all you need USPL or HSPL on your device. I recommend you read these threads for guidance:
Dummies guide for flashing using USPL or HSPL
1.14.25.24 & Rilphone.dll radio thread
Blackstone Radio Flashing (wiki)
Available Blackstone Radios
I would start with radio 1.14.25.24 as this is latest blackstone radio

It doesnt work yet
please i need you to recommend me a rom to use
can i use the officil one from htc website?
and what else i can try to make my phone work again1

You have a vast choice of roms to use, either stock roms direct from HTC site or from the wiki here or cooked roms from this forum
Would be impossible for me to recommend one as everyone is different and your tastes may well be different from mine. Also you have different windows versions, i.e. wm6.1 & wm6.5. All I can say is try a few and make your own conclusions. At present I am currently using Throys WM6.5 R9 rom

I changed the rom and the radio still dont get signal
NO SERVICE!

You may find that the phone is stolen and phone networks have blocked the IMEI Number this maybe why you donot have any reception
Try asking your Network phone company if this phone is blocked

There have been many problems lately with HSPL.
If you have tried to install with RUU and from SD card after installing the enablerapinew.cab and these methods were unsuccessful, it seems the only fix is to pay Olipro to provide the fix.

Just send Olipro a PM and request the unlocker.
Keep bugging him until he responds.
