What are my options here?

Okay, yes I'm new to the Cingular 8125. I read here about updating the ROM but not about unlocking it first. Read that while it was updating the ROM. Now with the new ROM in place and, of course, the phone still locked it is well locked. All outside access seems to be denied. The phone and EDGE are disabled, I've tried Active Sync but my computer never sees the phone be plugged in, and I've even tried resetting up my Active Sync through Bluetooth. That's disabled. And finally I attempted to reconnect with my wireless router... WAN appears to be disabled as well. Phone runs slower with this new ROM in it as well, presuming because of the lock thing. So, now that I can't get back into it what's next?

1) Download the original ROM from Cingular.
2) Get thyself to the bootloader (search the forum for the key combo, as I can't recall it offhand).
3) When you're at the rainbow screen, check to see if it says USB in the bottom left. If it does, this is good.
4) Plug it into your computer.
5) Run the original ROM update installer.
6) Pray.
7) When you're back at the original ROM, unlock before updating.
8) If the original ROM won't reinstall, look for the special "downgrade" installer that was created by someone in the Wizard Upgrading forum. There is a thread on it.

U get to the bootloader by with the device off - press and hold camera button and press power on button.
I like step 6 of above advice :wink:
Downgrade installer (post by faria) here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848 - which rom have U upgraded too? - this only works on 2.21 rom or below

I don't know you but I'm pretty sure that I LOVE YOU!!! Update I started the install for the older ROM for unlocking and it's loading currently. All I needed was the info about get yourself to the bootloader. You're the best. I'll let you all know how this ends up. Thanks again!

1/2 way there now...
Okay after all of that it appears that the phones battery is below 50% so now I'm waiting a bit to load the new ROM. The unlock seems to have went successfully. All the stuff with Loki went as it read and I have a BIN file with the lock code on my Hard Drive. The phone is currently back in operation as well, with the old ROM ( one posted here by Button for purpose of unlocking ). Thanks again! I'll let you know when I'm done how this ends up. Waiting ( biting nails at this point )! Oh yeah and praying.

Make SURE you use Lokiwiz02b to both SIM and CID unlock.
A common error is to simply SIM unlock. This does NOT help you with ROM upgrading.
You must SIM unlock to use another carrier.
You must CID unlock to upgrade to a custom ROM.
Once performed, both unlocks should be permanent.

Okay... Well I'm following http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848&sid=af7ca6d1ea263047d0c1f69177976a16 instructions. I don't really need to unlock the carrier. I'm perfectly happy with Cingular. Just want to upgrade the ROM to hopefully be more stable and to include the stereo bluetooth support and such.

Doh!
Okay I ran that program again and I see what you mean. I had unlocked ( that's the choice I took ) so I unlocked the carrier but not the ROM. I was about to have the same problem all over again. Geesh! Alright then I love you and I owe you a child or something. Hehe... Thanks!

Final outcome...
Okay, I am now on the new ROM. Too early to post stability or compatibility's as I'm still adding my software and configuring for my tastes. All components that I've tried are working, however. Cingular connection is strong including the EDGE digital network. Active Sync works fine, even through Bluetooth. And it talks to my in-home network wonderfully through the built in Wi-Fi. So all-in-all I'm on the road and headed the right direction. Thanks for the great ROM upgrade and for your assistance this evening.
P.S.: What is the 'Clock200', 'Clock240', and 'Clock252' for exactly? They're not hurting anything but they really don't appear to do anything either. They are listed in the 'Program Files' and when clicked or even double clicked on they do... Well nothing. :roll:

Okay! I'm completely lost!

I just got a Qtek 9100 from a friend.. He said it was an old test version of the device...
I only got the device and the charger.. Now, when i plug it into my PC, it can't recognize the device.. and the firmware is from 08/2005... so I kinda feel obligated to update them..
1. Is there some place where I could retrive some drivers or something for my computer to recognize my device?
2. I checked out the thread to see wether it's Q3 or Q4.. but my IPL is 0.34 and my SPL is also 0.34 (that's it!).. so i have no idea what upgrades to use.
3. Also the keyboard (I'm not talking about the on-screen keyboard.. I mean the one that you pull out..) on the device is swedish (scandinavian) but when i try pressing the button that says like Ä it acts as an english keyboard and a "/" appears... I'm swedish so i'd love if i could get some help fixing that
Thx~ kryX

Since you own the QTEK now you can sign up at the QTEK's homepage and download the latest ROM update for your device (even in swedish) http://www.myqtek.com/
The connection problem might be another one: maybe your friend installed a USER CREATED ROM - you still should be able to enter the boatloader mode!
There are plenty of threads in here about connection problems but finally it depends on your OS and the ROM version used! If you're running VISTA then you can forget flashing your device for the time being ... !
Go to wiki.xda-developers.com and studdy the WIZARD UPGRADE and UNLOCK section. This should get you started!

it won't accept my IMEI #... :/ and i'm using windows XP... it connects fine, just can't "get installed".. it appears on the screen that a new device has been found.. but it can't install it..
you mean to say that you can upgrade to a ROM that's in swedish even though you have a EN device?

you need to install Microsoft 'active sync' to get your ppc and pc communicating.

I just like to warn you to make BACKUP of your phone's firmware in case things go wrong. Don't become another 'cry baby' asking for 'urgent help' because the phone got bricked...
Do a search around to see what you need to make a backup and if your phone allows a full backup (must be CID unlocked)
good luck and welcome to forum
cheers

that worked perfectly.. thanks...
mestrini: thanks for the tip, backed it all up, and unlocked SIM and CID locks..now the big question is, is it a Q3 or a Q4??
EDIT: also, WHERE can i get the latest firmware? all the ftp's i've seen linked are down? :/

Take a look at this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Versions - to find out whether it is g3 or g4. then i suggest you start with a vanilla rom, Win 6 Pro 3.0 seems to be good now.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309078. the download link for that is there along with the password

also, start out at the Wizard Wiki, it gives all of the information that you will need to know, and the rest are at the top of the forums with a "sticky" on them

I flashed it with that Win 6 pro thing.. (it was an OS ROM, right?) and now it doesn't boot anymore.. now my bootscreen shows
Wizard DVT
IPL 0.34
SPL 0.34
OS 4.0.0.0
it stays like that for quite a while then the screen goes white and it starts all over again.. should i just assume i flashed it incorrectly? because i dont know if that was a G3 flash or a G4 flash or what ever..
EDIT: wait.. third time the screen went white the bootscreen changed to the new one.. it kinda seems to have started now.. GREAT

You guys must be careful with the new WM6 ROMs since they are packed without IPL/SPL so that they can be used by people with CID locked G4 devices.
That means that people with IPL/SPL bellow 2.x must first upgrade the boot loaders to 2.xx/3.xx otherwise the new ROMs will most probably not work

you need an ipl/spl of 2.xx or higher to flash ANY WM6 rom
from the bootloader (hold down camera button while starting), flash the tmobile 2.26 factory rom to get a proper ipl/spl.

just reading back, if you didn't know the answer to this question (above), you probably were not cid unlocked.
if the battery is dead (you left it on overnight?) you will need to charge it outside of the ppc, then try to get into bootloader, then flash the original operator's rom.
i wouldn't give up on anything that sells used for over £100 on ebay

EDIT: Also, where can I get a swedish ROM? i hate having to use the on-screen keyboard everytime im typing an å ä or ö..

no it hasn't, (this is a forum, not a help desk) i was just looking at it and trying to decide what, if anything to write, when my email showed another reply.
to be really honest, any question you can think of will already have been asked and answered several times in this forum - you just need to read (use Google to search this site). And that doesn't even cover the questions which you will want to ask when you begin to realize what your wizard is capable of
Swedish roms? - absolutely no idea. and so many people here are English speakers and i assume many non English/non Americans use an English language rom anyway
active sync? - try uninstalling and reinstalling, check the options, do they allow usb connections? i find AS sometimes changes options itself

Thanks for all the tips
Allright so i've come to realize i don't need a swedish ROM.. i just need to fix the hardware keyboard to act like a scandinavian one...
And it isn't AS that gives me trouble really.. the problem appears before activesync.. a USB icon appears and says it cannot recognize a device.. and when i click it i get a list of my USB devices and the one that has errors is written in bold... it sayd "Okänd enhet" (Unknown device).. and i can't seem to install the wizards drivers manually when i get that option.. cause i have no idea where to find them... :/

active sync is what should recognize your wizard. if your pc doesn't recognize your ppc, the only reason that I know of is because active sync is not installed or not working - have you uninstalled and reinstalled?

What am I doing wrong???????

Hi all,
This is my first post in this forum. Just got my HD2 yesterday & immediately set about installing a new ROM. I installed HSPL without any issues, but I'm having problems installing a new ROM. I've downloaded a couple in .exe format, synced up the phone to WMDC in Win 7, then when I start the exe file everythings fine until it starts to install, then the 4 colurs come on to the phone, and then the USB connection drops so WMDC isn't connected, then I get the error 266 (or 226). I used to have a touch diamond that did this, but I can't remember how you get the connection to remain whilst uploading the new ROM. I've had a look through the forum, but can't find the answer. Can anyone give me some ideas?? Does the phone need to have certain settings applied to it before flashing?? I'm not exactly a noob to flashing ROM's, but can't work this one out!! Thanks all.

just extract the exe, rename *.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh, put in ur microSD root, enter bootloader, press power button when u asked to do so. soft-reset when complete. feel free to pm me n i will guide u.

SD card method is the quickest way to brick your phone...
I use W7 64bit with WMDC and have never had an issue. Custom ROMs comes as an NBH file and tend to have CustomRRU.exe with them to run them. Run the EXE as an admin and you shouldn't have any issues.
Obviously check that when in the bootloader it does say SPL is 1.42.HSPL
When I flash a ROM, it turns the phone off (Windows knows that as it makes a sound) and then when the bootloader comes back up it says USB, Windows makes a sound for plug in and it starts.

Hi, I'm using the same OS. I've tried running as admin but it still drops connection. The SPL is 1.42.HSPL. It just starts the update, then I see the phone disappear from the connected devices, then WMDC shuts down & a few seconds later the error message comes up??

you started flashing this fast only after one day of use

You don't need WMDC open - just close it once it says you're connected
The run the file and it should work.
As mentioned, why are you flashing it out the box? It's always best to get to know the device as it might just work as it is...perhaps try a stock ROM if you're not already using the newest one and go from there

I agree. not that there is anything technically unsafe about it, but unless you are fully aware what you are doing it's so easy to flash the wrong thing.
example,you flash a 1.66 stock rom from sd card but don't like it.you goo to change it but get a fail. why? because flashing stock from sd card also overwrites the spl.
no problem you say, I'll reinstall hspl.... only you can't because hspl needs spl 1.4 to instal and your 1.66 flash installed spl 1.6
worse still you instal one of the test roms from t mo us that are 2.0x which can't be downgraded even by gold card and you are stuck with spl2 until the geniuses that are the hspl team release hspl2.
just a thought...are you running as administrator? right click, run as administrator

Didn't know that, glad I have HSPL on my phone now!! lol

lots don't and that's what makes sd flashing dodgy. in the case of 1.6 it can be downgraded with a 1.4 spl stock rom.its just a pain. but 2.0 spl can't. check out the horror stories in my sig.​

Yeah read about them, I nearly bricked my phone using the SD card method the first time I flashed but luckily the WMDC flash with my stock ROM got me back to normal!

I was trying to flash the stock 1.66 ROM, but it still disconnected. I have 1.43.206.4 WWE at the moment. The reason for flashing straight away, is usually the stock ROM updates are to improve / fix previous issues. This is why I wanted to start with a stock ROM & maybe move onto a cooked ROM at a later date. Does it make any difference when starting from an .exe file instead of RUU? Do you have to change something on the phone itself to allow it to stay connected?? cheers everyone for your comments.

run the exe as administrator, the phone should restart into boot loader (three colored stripes) and then flash. ​

Just tried it again & still no joy. It starts, the phones switches off, thats when it loses connection, then the bootloader appears, then about 10 secounds later it says error 266 connection lost. Still stumped???

Sounds like the device isn't reconnecting with the PC once in the bootloader - try another one...

with the phone in boot loader unplug the usb and plug back into a different port. preferably a port directly on the motherboard (round the back) not through a usb hub or slot in the case.

Sussed it now. I'm a mac user using Win7 using VMware fusion. I think it was this that was causing it to not detect the phone once it had started flashing the ROM. I tried it on my work laptop running XP & voila, it flashed immediately. Thanks everyone for your comments - no doubt I'll be posting a few more questions soon!!!

ah good stuff.

Ahhh... yes, that's the kind of non-standard setup that would make sense mentioning right away indeed. Everything that touches hardware level is rarely friendly to emulation, virtual machines, resource sharing and so on...

Ok.....next question. I've tried to flash a rom using the customruu file, but all it does is open up the contents of that file. I'm using XP Pro. Any ideas why anyone???

Here is a link to the error codes. Your error means you need to go back to SSPL before you can flash that ROM.

You are still using the original SSPL (Soft Second Program Loader) which will only accept official update ROMs.
In order to flash the custom ROMs available here, you will need to flash in a HSPL (Hard Second Program Loader).
I don't know if you are totally new to flashing ROMs or not, since you didn't say and your post indicator said that was your first post here, but I would advise you to be very, very careful. In the early days (last month, actually) a TON of people were bricking their phones because they accidentally downloaded the European ROMs for the 512Leo. Ours is the 1024Leo and only ROMs designed for our phones will work.

The phone I am using is actually a replacement from TMO. I was having issues with the original device I purchased.
How do I use a HSPL or whatever... I am slightly confused but I can catch up quickly...
Thanks.

same thing happened to me, what i did was i restarted the update without disconnecting the phone from the computer, and it worked.

I encountered the same problem and it appeared that my computer was slow in "re-recognizing" the phone. For some reason, it had to reinstall drivers before continuing with the update. After the device was again recognized, I restartde the update (without disconnecting the phone) and it continued without issue.
I had been worried that the phone had become a paperweight when I saw the tricolor screen, but everything has been fine and the upgrade appears to have worked correctly.

Think of HSPL as your BIOS (it isn't, but it may help you to think of it as such). You don't have any control over the options, but you need it to load or install your OS. Installing HSPL is simply a matter of following the directions in the link that I posted last time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Once you have HSPL installed, you should be able to "flash" any ROM. Of course, this also allows you to flash ROMs that are not meant for your phone, so that's the danger behind it.
When you visit a thread that offers a ROM, it should either have instructions or a link to instructions on how to install. If it does not, a google search for "xda how to install a custom rom" should give you a million helpful links. (This is actually beyond the scope of this post so I won't go into details)
Hope this helped some...

Same problem but i have hspl?
not sure what im doing wrong here I've installed hspl 1.42 which was enough trouble for what seemed like a pretty straight forward job. now whatever i try to install all i get is error 260? on top of this i don't seem to be able to send message tho i can receive and the camera on my phone no longer seems to work?
i am a newbie but Ive been reading and clicking and trying to install stuff for hours and hours and so far all Ive managed to do is install hspl and reduce my phones usability.
i got windows mobile device center 6.1 tried it with and without allow usb connections.
my antivirus and firewall is off.
.net framework 4 installed.
tried different usb ports
ive tried installing Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.23569.5.5.0_2.14_Holy_Grail_576MB_V4.3_WWE and a stock rom
my computer has vista 64 on it.
im hoping im just being a bit dense here please help me i just wanna join in on all this flashing fun!!

just for kicks did you try a different ROM, find another ROM that is Compatible and try it, not saying there is anything wrong with Dutty's , but could just be the download , but not sure since you tried stock too ...
You may need to reinstall HSPL3, if you tried to flash a stock rom, and even if it failed it could have removed HSPL ...
Also try plugging the USB cable into the back of the machine

error 260 1024hd2
Hey guys,
I am having the same issue although I may know the answer but not sure how to fix it. Prior to flashing chuckyRom, I installed HSPL but I don't think I installed the correct version (still worked). So does anyone think this entire problem is attributed to initially installing the wrong hard SPL. If so, how can this be fixed? android is running great on chuckyRom but it would be nice to use a rom that is used for more than running android.
Please help, I have been in misery trying to solve this for over two weeks now.
Error 260, T-mobile HD2

Error 260 during ROM update
I had the same problem and tried everything (?)
Finally I got it work.
After I started the update the first time, I got the message, driver was not installed successfuly ...blabla
I ignored the message, tried and the connection disconnected every time again.
At the end I used another usb port and it asked me to download the CDMA driver. After download and installation, the update was in 5 min. done

You are still using the original SSPL (Soft Second Program Loader) which will only accept official update ROMs.
In order to flash the custom ROMs available here, you will need to flash in a HSPL (Hard Second Program Loader).

Put the phone into BootLoader Mode then connect to the PC. Run the ROM.

First time flashing the radio and kept getting error 260 from CustomRUU.
Read so many threads and all say sync the phone with your PC and run CustomRUU. Nobody said to run it under BootLoader Mode.
This simple note helped a lot for a newbie like me.... thanks

Error [260]

[Q] Help me choose a rom (First time)

Hello, I just decided to finally root my Legend and install a rom.
My phone is currently running 2.1 and i'm on the Virgin Mobile Canada network here in Canada. We don't have an official 2.2 release yet.
I have made a gold card and i'm all ready to root and load a rom. I just don't know what one to do.
I think i'd like to start off fairly basic. just to play with 2.2 then try some of the more advanced custom roms. So, All i really need is help finding the 2.2 stock rom that would be best suited for me?
Sorry if this is sort of a newb thing. but i'm a newb. I tried looking this up, but couldn't get a solid answer via google results. Too many options out there and i didn't know if they applied to my situation.
So, yeah. Just want the basic 2.2 Then maybe i'll try some custom roms later.
Also, if anybody has any advice of what to expect or any other advice, i'd appreciate it. Any features I will loose if i root/rom? I hear FM radio won't work, but i'm not too worried about that. Anything else?
Thank you.

You say "basic ROM", but it's a bit more complicated.
You can simply update your phone to HTC stock ROM 2.2 or the Vodafone ROM 2.2, this would be basic but crappy (slow, branded, buggy roms).
I recommend you to skip these roms and try BlaY0's rom (with sense) or CyanongenMod 6.1 stable. These two are really good work !
So you can play with serious froyo and the time you'll take to root and change the rom would be useful !
Cyanogen will be a bit more "exotic" since HTC sense is not included in the ROM.
For the features, you will not loose any of them, except maybe the FM radio (depends of the rom), but you will get many you have not right now (root of course, overclock,..., plus every changes of 2.2)
Your Legend is about to become a greeaaaaat phone, congratz !
I hope my answer will help you ;-)
PS : Few months and we'll get stable gingerbread roms ! Time to get to Froyo ! ^^

Thanks for the reply. It was very informative and just the type of information i need.
I hate these situations where i know i'm missing a lot of knowlege, but due to not knowing it, i don't know how to aquire it. I hate that.
That's why i'm glad i have this place. Thanks. I think i'll install that CyanongenMod 6.1 stable. I've been using launchers most of the time since i got my phone as i didn't really enjoy sense that much.
Could somebody please link me to the exact file i'd want? I keep finding different versions/builds and they say for different phones, and i just get confused A download link would be great.

Search for rom manager in the market, install and choose Flash Clockwordmod Recovery
After that:
In Paid version just select Download Rom / CyogenMod.
Select Backup current rom & wipe data and cache when installing
In free version 1st d/l CM6.1 from http: // forum.cyanogenmod.com /files/category/29-htc-legend/ and put it on your sdcard, then Select Install Rom from SDcard in Rom manager.
For both also install the google apps (same source locations & method)

So, Upon trying to root my phone i find out i first need to downgrade my phone.
I go through all the steps needed and eventually get to the part where i need to install the new "RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed" file.
I set up my phone. Goldcard, the correct version of HTC sync, USB Debugging, i'm fairly certain i did everything correct. I try to run the RUU and i get errors. Either USB not Connected errors, or and more frequently "Device ID Incorrect" errors.
So, I seem to be unable to downgrade to 1.31. Any advice on how to get by these errors? It's really frustrating.
Thanks.

Try recreating the goldcard and reinstall the latest HTC sync.

I tried re-making the gold card. I have the same problems. Although, I did realize i made a mistake when i made the gold card. But remedying that didn't seem to fix the problem.
When the Serial was reversed it already had the first two digits as zero's so i didn't really have to do that.
As for HTC Sync, I installed the correct version. I could try doing it again.
I'm on Win7 64 bit. I also tried it on a WinXP machine. Same error(s).
I'll try making the gold card again. I'm using a Kingston 2GB microSD card.

I had issues with Win7 x64 too. Your best bet is to find a 32-bit machine for this one-time step, or use VMWare Player to make a temporary virtual machine.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

I've also tried it on a 32bit winxp machine.
Here is basically how it goes.
Enable Debugging mode.
Hook up via "Charge only"
Run RUU as Administrator
It runs and says "waiting for bootloader" but errors out with the Error 171 USB Connection error.
The phone stays on the black screen that says HTC. Have to take out the battery to reset it.
OR. run the RUU again.
If i do that.
it "clears user data"
then does "sending..."
then "Updating Signature". It gets about 20% done, then errors out.
Error 130 Model ID Error.
Then when i select exit. The phone reboots back to the homescreen.
Which, if i try again, starts the cycle again.
so, it goes. First try, USB error, black htc screen. second try. Model ID error, Re-boot. Repeat.
My sync is the correct version. i've re-installed my HTC drivers. I've tried on a winxp box. and my win7 box. I've re-created my gold card. I even temporarily disabled my firewall and anti-virus in case that was the conflict.
I've done everything. This is really pissing me off at this point.

i had same problem but i solved it by doing this look at my guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954450
report if it works in that thread if it dosnt post back here and well help, (remember some one will read this thread when they are stuck one day)

Thanks. I posted on that guide with an update to my situation. Sort of stuck at the moment as the custom boot loader after step 2 failed to load and aborted the installation. so now i'm sort of screwed until i figure that out.
