HELLO,
I'M A NEW USER OF THIS FORUM
i HAVE BOUGHT A CINGULAR 8125
WHEN I TURN IT ON IT LOOKS BLOCKED ON THE BOOT LOADER SCREEN
THERE IT IS WRITTEN
IPL 3.08
SPL 2.G4.4PDA
ACTIVESYNC DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT SO I TRIED IN THE USB MODE TO FLASH A NEW ROM BUT NOT WORKING
WHAT I COULD DO WITH IT?
HELP ME PLEASE
It looks like you've got a G4 device. Read the flashing guide in the upgrading section about how to flash your device. Looks like someone tried to flash a custom rom already and bricked it. Can you get your money back?
Thank you for the answer i will lok in that section
the seller said that the phone was good when he shipped to me but i'm not sure
if i will not solve the problem i think i will go with a legal advice
Usually when you brick a G4 it won't even power on anymore. That's how mine acted when I flashed a G3 ROM to it. If it shows the boot loader screen, you should be able to bring it back by following the instructions on how to flash a G4. A section on recovering is in there.

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?
Richard
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!

i posted this in another thread but no one replied so thought this one mite be more busy.
i am new to all this and i stupidly went running into things and tryed to ROM upgrade my t-mobile MDA Vario II (HERM300), not knowing i had to CID unlock first, it has broke! when i boot it up i can not get passed the t-mobile splash screen and it also flashes "no-gsm". i have read many suggestions on fixing this but i have had no luck. i can get into the boot screen however and get the red green and blue stripes.
i have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.04.
it will allow me to connect to my PC with USB but active-sync does not recognize i have connected the phone.
please help someone. i just need a way i can get this thing working again. if i could just get the phone into a state of use again that would be good.
please help, at least let me know if Ive got a chance of repairing it
i believe if you can get it in to bootloader mode you can flash back to original rom and start over
i thought that to but when i tryed the t-mobile rom it said "connection error" and also said it should be connected through active sync. but then agen it mite of been the wrong t-mobile rom but im sure it was for the vario ii. do you have a link to the one i should try please?
i downloaded the official UK shiping rom from t-mobile site and upgrading now through bootloader. will report on what happens.....
nope, keep getting "device not responding" or "connection error". any other sugestions?
i looked on here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick and it says that i have to "Flash any type2 radio in NBF format. If that doesn’t work, flash the radio using HERMflasher" please could someone tell me how to do this, if this is the solution to my problem or if there is another way around this. thanks.
please help someone i realy need to fix my phone
Cool down....
what's ur radio version?
Also have u read this? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock - TRY THIS FIRST, before attempting anything else...
ok, i have tryed that "sim and cid unlocker" and i beleve that you have to connect with active-sync because when i tryed it when i was in boot loader it said that it was not connected but it was. i will get my radio version now.
EDIT: my radio version is: 0107
EDIT2: also, here are some other numbers (which i dont know what they mean but mite be needed) which apear on boot-up t-mobile splash screen, in red letters/numers, just before "no-gsm" flashes on:
M 05
S 04
B 06
D 1.21
If you can get into the Bootloader (Rainbow Screen) you should be okay (Not a Brick)
Go download a Radio Rom from the wiki.
Enter Bootloader first, then connect to PC. Then flash the Radio Rom.

ok, ill try that, does it need to be a perticular radio because im not super CID? for some reason the link will not work.
oooooo, it seems to be workin!!!!!!!!! im at...16%. ill report what happens after update finished
yes!!! it worked!! thank you very very much for your help!!!
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
Hello
First I am many sorry if repeat but I still not know what I can do. I buy mobile and I thing is Type 2b (still on operator logo) but I don´t know how I can find solution, because I tryed flash with many roms and I tryed latest radio rom and everything done but when is finish it restart and than is still in orange logo (or HTC and etc). and about two seconds show NO GSM.
I have SPV m3100 with SPL-1.40.Olipro.
PLEASE help me I cant find solution !!!
Many thanks and many sorry if repeat threat
Try a hard reset. You DON'T have Hard SPL on your phone. It may be unlocked but it may not be Supercid. The best idea would be to flash the original carrier rom on to it and see if that fixes it THEN flash Hard SPL on it.....
Good Luck...
Its possible you may not be able to recover your radio rom...
Hello,
Thank you, but I tryed originall shipped rom and original rom from orange site. Everythings done fine. I tryed also radio rom and it done OK. I dont know what I can do.
Please can you send me links for there roms which I can flash?
I wish I can repair.
Thank you in advance.
If the shipped rom fails you are probably looking at a permanent brick. There are some other things you can try using MTTY but it may not be hopeful. This is one of the pitfalls of buying a "bricked" phone. It may not be fixable and you spent $$$ that could've been spent more usefully elsewhere...
Hello,
thank you for reply, and how I can use there MTTY and when I start it it is like other working pda and it flash led lights, only for second, like when you flash new rom and when start and then it flash light and then screen change for "tap on screen" but here only flash and dont change screen.
Do you know what I mean?
Does it say "tap on screen to setup"?
If so you may be looking at a bung digitizer. You will need to replace the LCD to fix this.
Hello,
no, it is only like it, it stay orange logo, but when "blik" "NO GSM" it blik all display and than stay in orange logo too
Do you thing if JTAG help me?
can't say, never used. You do need some technical skill to use the Jtag method...
yes I have some technical skills but I dont have any schematic of jtag cable.
EDIT: I find some pdf with two schematics:
1. Holly Gates' Schematics for the JTAG Dongle
2. Modified Schematic for the JTAG Dongle Circuit Using 74LS541
Which can I use?
My t-mobile wiza200 not even goes on boot loader...
Rom upgrade goes on 100% and then my pc restarted... After that my wiza200 was totally dead.. Nopt even goes on boot loader mode...
Wiza200 has g4 rom...
Please help me
any solution to this,,.
How can i get that wiza200 on boot loader mode
help pls!
Posting a question one time is sufficient.
This time you gave more information.
I have had exactly the same thing happen, and I successfully recovered using instructions I found, I believe, in the G4 forum's sticky posts. If I remember correctly, the solution involved getting to the bootloader screen (camera+power) and burning an old ROM called the Wizard Love Rom. But maybe I mis-remember, so please search. Again, good luck.
