I am trying to follow this tutorial but the links for the button rom and lokiwiz dont work can anyone link me one that works?
Thanks
read the 'read first' sticky in the wizard upgrading forum, everything is in there
That would be great advice if those links worked. But they don't work for me. Actually the problem I am having is identical to wind_sun's post in March. I will just copy and paste as I dont know if I could word it better. And it goes a lil something like this:
Dr. P:
I have been doing the unlocking SIM and CID for several rounds and no luck so far. So I am thinking that I would put up a message here for helps from you and others. Here is the related info:
tmobile USA MDA
IPL /SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I downloaded CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE and extracted into a folder and start the downgrade process by double click ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID since it is G3 with 2.XX ROM.
The verify screen reads:
From:
Model ID: WIZARD
Image Version: 1.2.0.0
Language: ENGLISH
To:
Model ID: Prodigy
Image version:
Language: WWE
Everything goes smooth until I get to 98% done. The tool complained:
ERROR[302]: UPDATE ERROR (My situation is different in the computer goes to 100% then states it has to close for some problem. It prompts me to send or don't send to Microsoft. The phone remains at 98%)
and ask me to recover by disconnecting usb cable and taking out battery, which I did.
After I put back battery, the MDA screen comes back with 3 color bootloader display. The screen still show IPL/SPL 2.26 version at this time. I did see USB on the left bottom of the screen when I reconnect USB cable.
Then follow the instruction to rerun the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID on PC.
It errored out at the 98% AGAIN and shows me the SAME error messages.
Repeat the process and it always errored out at the same point with the same error message.
Of course I was able to rescue my MDA by reflashing it with the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM with no problem.
But I still want to downgrade so that I can unlock and upgrade. There was no reply to this thread by wind_sun. A lil help? Thanks in advance.

I just checked this thread and all the links work
are you saying that you can't flash the button rom?
BBOBECKYJ,
Exactly. Exactly as stated above. I am having the same problem wind_sun had. Hangs at 98%. Thanks again.

I've not read the thread - i didn't need to, I followed the instructions exactly and it worked
I'm confused about what you're saying, firstly that the links to the roms didn't work, (so i gave you those links). Now it seems you are saying that the roms won't flash yet you also say you still can't download those same roms
i believe the guide i linked (not the one you were using) is foolproof, and if you follow each step exactly you can't go wrong.
also if you're having problems, you should post in that thread and not create a new thread - as it is monitored by the thread creator who may be able to help you.

so what was the response to that problem? (if any) does that not solve yours?
First, I apologize. I do not post often. The result is my forum etiquette is poor. This thread belonged to someone else. Initially, I was backing them up in stating that the first reply to this thread was incorrect and was not valid at the time of the posting. I knew this as I had tried those same links in the past 24 hours. My mistake was stating my problem in this thread in the same post obviously. That was poor mannered in hindsight. Second, being that I do not post to forums often I forget how excruciatingly detailed a post or thread has to be. Everyone is not always on my frequency. Even so, with matters of the technical sort, people probe and ask questions. In the future, I will try to do better.

LOL i didn't notice that the third post - yours - was not the same person as post one, that explains my confusion
however, as he/she didn't post back again (yet) i assume that the link in my first post works, so try that if you have not yet done so
BBOBECKYJ,
I was only agreeing with THESCREENSAVERS about the ANTC thread. I took it light that if two people found the links to be broken ANTC might look into it. I was not clear in separating that from my own issue or that it was ANTC's advice/tutorial my initial post referenced. You are correct. I was stating ANTC's links did not work. Another great tutorial(minus links). I OBTAINED THE ROMS LAST NIGHT. After navigating through our excellent forums, for 24 hours I found the links for the tools mentioned in ANTC's thread in DR. PUTTINGHAM'S thread that you suggested. Thank you for that. I should have done that initially for THESCREENSAVERS instead of switching to my own frustrating issue. I tried to kill two birds(issues) with one sloppy hand grenade(post). Selfish me. What a mess it is that I have to apologize and clean up the mess I made with 3 more posts(and counting). Now my friend, I am so glad that DR. PUTTINGHAM'S tutorial worked well for you. The wording in your last post makes me less than a fool though or a fool that has proven DR. PUTTINGHAM'S post to not be foolproof. The ROMS DO NOT FLASH FOR ME. I have gone wrong. And wind_sun too. Which, by search is wind_sun's only post...nearly two months ago. But since we are here now. Again, I still want to downgrade so that I can unlock and upgrade. There was no reply to this thread by wind_sun. A lil help? Thanks in advance. CAN ANYONE HELP?
P.S. How did you follow the instructions if you did not read the thread?
No avatar, no gif's, no kewl one-liner...I'm so lame....
To answer your last question first, I used Faria's unlocking guide first. Dr P simplified and explained in more detail the same things in his thread. I read only the first post of the Dr P thread when I got stuck with the Faria one.
I am not aware that anyone would be unable to flash the button rom, (which is not to say it couldn't happen) and just to be very clear, you are using this guide?
Dr P thread is stickied, for amongst other reasons - I think he monitors it and helps anyone with questions. (ANTC is probably busy cooking another wm6 rom atm LOL)
ps try to break up your posts, it is hard reading very long blocks of text (and harder to reply to question within it)
pps don't apologize for posting - that's what forums exist for. it is annoying when it is obvious that someone has not read anything and then expects everything done for them, but you did read and had a go
I'd just like to add my 2 cents here if you don't mind
@ Babyexp
Have you tried downloading Button ROM again as it might be corrupted even though the download completed successfully? That's why some sites like Linux distros ftp have a file with the result of a checksum (SHA1,MD5,CRC32,etc...) so that users know the file isn't corrupted
The other option is to use another PC to see if the RUU crashes same way
cheers
Awesome posts. I feel like I got something accomplished. Then, I didn't. I'm back to WM5. Wish I could lift my chin a little like you guys with WM6....
Are you telling me about reading? I always seem to have the quirks/problems noone else has. I've been browsing the forums for the better part of two days! I'm squinting so much now I look Chinese! LOL. Thanks again. Can I get a link Mestrini?

hi guys
I'll be quick - as babyexp says, we're not trying to hijack teh thread, but having multiple people with the same issue in one thread, then if someone comes to resolution, is a good thing, imo.
I've been also trying to upgrade an htc wizard to wm6. I've re-downloaded the latest files for button 1.05 (from rapidshare) and lokiwiz, and have been following ANTC's guide. In step 3, he says run button, and let it complete, but when I run it, it also progresses up to 98% on the Wizard and my laptop, then pauses. After 3-4 minutes, the laptop updates to 99%, leaving the Wizard at 98% (red progress bar on the wizard), and stops again. I've left it for about 30 minutes at this point, but now on my 4th try at flashing, it hasn't completed once yet.
After removing the battery, and restarting to the colorbanded screen, I've been able to reapply the tmobile rom (RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship) to get the phone active again. However, attempting to put button on brings me to up to this 98% hang behavior
I've tried installing the wm6 rom directly on top of the tmobile one, which completes, but on restart, prompts for screen calibratrion, does customization, then is still running wm5 after the restart - even teh start/calibration screens look to be wm5. Strange behavior - my hermes upgraded with no issues, compared to this. Should I perhaps run lokiwiz first before button, and ensure that I run both a U(unlock) and C(Supercid unlock) ?
any pointers appreciated.
tks,
dwight.

yep, use the original unlocking guide, ANTCs is simplified i think. I linked it in my first post in this thread
ok thanks bbobeckyj - I'll give that a try on monday when i'm back in the office.
btw, "if at first you dont' succeed, try try again" isn't the best plan for these phones . I kept trying to reflash mine, and after about a dozen attempts, the battery died, and that was the end of that. ohh, i thought i had a brick there, as it wouldnt' charge via usb cable (i don't think).
I left it over night on a wall charger, and when i checked this am again, it was back to the colored bar screen, and I was able to put the tmobile base rom back on it. whew!
dwight.
Easy solution to ALLLL of these problems.
go to IMEI-CHECK .. pay the 40 dollars to unlock ur phone.. Update to WM6.. Easy.. Stop being cheap.
My laptop has just blown up on me, and now my phone won't accept my password. Anyway I can reset my password? The phones usb connector is screwed and isn't recognized by the computer... Soooo HELP!!!

You may not wanna hear this part, but you might have to do a hard reset...reason I say you might not wanna hear it is that you'd have to reinstall/resync all your stuff, and since you say that your comp. isn't recognizing the phone, backing up and resyncing would be a pain.
Hopefully someone would be able to tell you how to do it without a Hard Reset, but from what I read on the forum, that might be your only shot. Hope that helps, and hope someone can figure out a way to do it better.
Can you change the title of your post, please? My son just read it aloud as he was sitting here on the couch with me while I was checking out the forum.
...........
HAHAHAH, sorry
Changed
Language...
First off. Watch the language. You've been around long enough to know better...
You could install active sync on a friends computer and get your info off first. Then you would be free to hard reset the phone. You'll obviously need to remember your password. It wouldn't be very secure if you could hack around that now would it?
I'm using the desktop, but I can't access anything on the phone because the phone is locked a nd I can't access it. And it asks me to unlock via my phone.
Another problem is it will let me type in a passsword once, and then it will disregard everything else (you click unlock and it wont do anything)
Hmmm I'll install another ROM
Passwords are such a pain... People put them where they're not needed, and then they come back and bite you in the rearend. I was just trying to extract a package from an old kitchen I DLd months ago, but it was password protected..WHYYYYYYYY?
Before you password protect something ask yourself if it really needs it.
It's okay I've reflashed a new rom to it.
thanks anyway
you should not post random non-development questions in the development and hacking forum.....i mean seriously, why is this post here?....post in your phones forum.....
OK Take it easy on the language with your frustration.
Also, Yes this should not be in Dev and Hacking. More than likely belongs in your Phones Sub-forum General Section.
However your thread doesn't explicitly mention what phone you are using. That makes it difficult to help you out as well.
thanks for cleaning up up the language. problem solved thread closed.
Okay, I'm not sure what has happened. I picked up my HD2 last week, I had WinMo running until I got home from the store LOL. After trying the different builds I settled on Darkstone FROYO for obvious reasons to me. Ran it ever since, until today, I decided to give a different radio a try due to the fact that large file downloads ie Google Sky Map would fail and I read that a different radio may help. After flashing the radio I went from the Chucky ROM to RC4.7 BLACK TMOUS VR ROM. All went well. Backed up my SD CARD DATA and reformated it to FAT32 32KB, copy my backup back on the SD and loaded dual boot.
Booted right up into Android and right away i see my hard keys are lit up. To be honest I didn't know they even were lighted. LOL.
Anybody else notice this?
They are not working in any build as of now. Are you sure that when you booted into Android from WM, these buttons were not lit up.
If they were, they gonna be lit up all the time (even if you lock the device). If that is the case, would suggest you to reboot it to windows and boot into android only when the buttons are not lit up.
They are on... but yes you are correct. they are on all the time. Even when I lock or when the device goes to sleep.
You booted it from WM with them on, wait til they turn off before booting android
I noticed something else too... I still had the boot screen from the Chucky ROM even after the flash to the VR ROM. So I just reflashed to AxLor DF1 Xlite and that is taken care of. my lights are now off yet again.
wasted thread this has been talked about 1000 times over find another way to get your post up
they shouldnt be lit up lol

i agree... but maybe that how "he's" getting his post count up... lol
anyways, this has happened to me a couple times and i agree with earhog, wait till they are off in WM before u run HARET. this way they'll be off when you boot android and wont drain your battery as quickly...

Damn... I have always searched the forum for answers and advice prior to posting any questions... hence my post count. I did do a search and all I could pull up was posts about them not working. This was more of observation than a question that I thought was strange.

exactly my point since this android port hit all we get are people posting things that are not helpful ...how is this helping any one , so what u are telling me is we need to help him figure out why his button lights are staying on ..the is a effin emulator ....how about i go post a thread ..."my android market is working"....wtf is that going to do for any one when there a 15 threads saying the same thing find one of thse thread to "CONTRIBUTE" to ...
Every post should be from a Developer or Chef?? The point of the post was... hey this is what is happening, has it happened to anyone else? How did you fix it? Ideas?
The EXACT point of this forum. If you you knew the answer and it was nothing that intrigued you... why did you open the post? Lol. Anyway, it has been answered, issue solved.

I am using my first post just for you. You sir, are an ass and need to go elswhere with your "higher-than-mighty" attitude. Since none of the roms are finalized, this is an acceptable topic for this section. OP even stated later on, all he found was posts for the buttons NOT working. And it is apparent that he was asking if anyone else has ran into this issue. For all we know, there may be an issue the the ROM he has loaded that is causing the buttons to stay on like that.
So heed your own advise and stop padding YOUR post count.
noticed something like that too. the button lights are on SOMETIMES. I can say for sure, I didnt start haret with the lights on, but at some point the lights went on during running android (and stayed on). I think an incoming call triggered it, but I'm not sure.
I've noticed that when I'll turn off phone and then put USB in, red LED is lighted for few seconds, suddenly phone starts, battery stops loading and MAGLDR is executed. It seems MAGLDR substitutes code for battery loading. Does it mean, that if I'll make battery totally empty I won't have a chance to load it without OS (which handles battery loading process)?
i thought they fixed it in magdlr .13? so you can drain your battery to 0% without problems...
AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
RTFM

Read the bit that says "New in 1.13"..... It's pretty simple.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10197474&postcount=1
On a side note, no, you can't kill the battery. Once power is connected, your phone uses that, it's just the light goes off while MAGLDR is booting.
Same here, when I turn off the phone and charge it, it turn on automatically. Help please!

It's suppose to do that... that's a new feature in version 1.13 so that there isn't the problem where you have to remove battery to get phone to boot like what happened with earlier magldrs. People complained about that, so cotulla fixed it the only way possible... so it will turn on automatically, and now people are complaining about that. He said in next version it will have setting to allow the uncontrolled charging while phone is off, but you might have to remove battery to get it to boot again. Also not sure if uncontrolled charging is bad for battery or not.
You have to understand... you're hacking your phone to run OS's that weren't meant for it... things are not going to act the same as a native phone. You should feel lucky you can do these things at all.
I have 2300mAh extended battery and with almost every android rom it is useless. When android boots up to the stage when you must enter sim pin than hd2 reboots and it is going into loop. I have discovered when I isolate middle pin on the battery everything is working fine, battery is charging and it can be used without problems.
Doesn't any body READ anymore???

I thought we were just losing our time trying to help. It seems many prefer to read the title, go to the last page and ask a question for which the answer is on the first post
For their defense, the search functionnality is too complexe. Isn't it possible to just clic on a button and receive answer to all our question directly in our mailbox. Or maybe a button we can clic and directly solve our issues.
I found one... it's the "add to basket" button for an Android phone on an online shop. Works great

In French we call "ironie" (not sure at all about the translation).
I write stupid things to make the owner of the thread realize that the question has not to be asked.
For this question, you don't even have to use the search function (which is not complicate, I agree).
The answer is on the first page of MAGLDR thread!!! (know issue, not corrected in x.13 but a paliative solution has been applied... the phone start to prevent having to remove the battery).
Honnestly it's sad to see that you keep posting the same answers and it seems some people never take time to read. They just ask directly their questions.
Maybe I'm sometime difficult to understand as English is not my language.
So our answers don't help... the question neither. It just make a lot of useless thread with the same question again and again.
I can also add that when you post a thread, the forum give you the thread which could give you the answer!!!

Hello
Before you ask, I have searched high and low for a solution for this, trying different attempts, so here is my thread. If you find or know of another thread with the magic solution, please link me and I will thank you eternally
Me and my girlfriend have just got back from holiday and I broke the screen whilst we were away. I need to recover the data from the sdcard as it has all our holiday photos.
It is the LG Nexus 4, running the latest, STOCK, untouched Android 4.2.2.
Potential Problems
Mobile Data & WiFi is disabled - holiday so they were turned off
Screen touch / digitizer does not work
Stock Android 4.2.2
USB debugging is OFF
There's a daily alarm set which is p** me off!
Please, any suggestions?
Thanks, Josh.
As an update to this, Wi-Fi IS turned on, so I can use the online playstore to update an app, but cannot use the touchscreen and so access the app etc.

Untouched device with USB Debugging off. No way to crack this (as far as I know). A very similar issue, but still no solution. You may read this, or this.
To unlock, simply get your touchscreen fixed. No other way. Sorry mate.

Thanks. Great news - the phone is insured, but if I take the SD card out or do the touchscreen myself, it will invalidate the insurance. It's not just the front touchscreen which is broken, the back is shattered also.

As long as you replace the screen by yourself all the data will be saved. Screen replacement is very easy and is much cheaper than paying LG
