Right firstly dont shout at me if by spending the last two nights constantly looking at this website with little sleep to find a solution to my problem when the problem has already been recolved on this website.
i have a G4 o2 xda Mini s 2.24 rom.
I have been using the phone on T-mobile faultlessly (except answerphone)
I am now on orange but get the dreaded
"the phone is not ready. please wait 15 seconds and try again"
i have now been waiting 48 hours and it still dont want to have it. I have use of phone but not of txt or settings.
I think this problem has been solved by flashing the ROM and well that gets me in to all sorts of problems as mine is a G4 and the only way currently to unlock a G4 is using the iemi website which is very much mentioned on this site. I am prepaired to do this of you think it will work?
1. firstly is there another way?
2. secondly ive searched forum after forum trying to resolve these issues with people recomending files and software and all with different procedures to install a new rom. does anyone have a recomendation on which ROM to choose and what tool to use to do it? and where to get the downloads?
3. This is a great site and very helpfull would just like to throw my gratitude out there to you all.
In a nutshell
Like many others i have searched this site and still do not understand unlocking and ROM flashing. I did try to do a ROM flash to the k-jam 2.16 ROM update where i got an error [296] please upgrade NBP? i figured later that it would probably only work on a G3?
I am desperate to get this working and soooo lost!
Am currently downloading wizard_love ROM which apparently does not require an unlock. But then its only a Radio upgrade and may not solve my problem
wizard love is not a radio update it is a rom if you want a radio update try this one http://rapidshare.com/files/7927757/radio_2.47.11.exe.html
same as i am running on my phone i run the wizard love with the 2.47.11 radio rom and it is not CID unlocked
Will that radio update work on my locked G4?
Do you think it will cure the
"the phone is not ready. wait 15 seconds and try again"
or is this a sim lock issue?
Really glad you chose to help me
WOW
Yay its fixed.
thanx for your help everybody on this site.
for those of you finding this with the same problem here is a STEP BY STEP guide!
1: go to ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/
2: Click on "Wizard"
3: Click on "ROMS"
4: Click On "Other_unknown"
5: Click on "Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii+CF2.rar"
6: be patient it will eventually download this site does not have a great upload speed it may also fail a few times.
7: once downloaded use Winrar or winzip to extract the file to your root directory.
8: Charge your phone fully overnight (IMPORTANT)
9: connect data cable and backup (this rom update will wipe your device clean)
10: remove device from active sync and set as guest when reconnected.
11: Double click the file you have extracted and follow the Italian instructions (dont worry this will give an english menu once loaded)
12: avanti means next and all the blurb is highlighting some important stuff to do before proceeding (translate at bablefish if you want)
13: the device will restart and go to a grey screen with a percentage bar.
14 BE VERY VERY PAITENT it is imperitive that you do not interupt this process in anyway! it will stop in places especially at %96 but leav it to run.
(I WOULD ALSO RECOMEND STOPING ALL UN-NESSARSAY PROGRAMS IN THE TASK BAR BY RIGHT CLICKING AND EXIT)
Once complete you will have a clean install with all word apps without the o2 junk AND you want get that stupid "the phone is not ready. wait 15 seconds and try again"
This is only a know fix for me on a o2 XDA Mini s version G4 Locked please do not attempt this unless you are completely confident and that you are in the same situation
It feels good to put something back to this excelant website!
if i use this g4 rom i will loose my default language?
probably i wont find again pt-br wm5, or someone know where i can find it?
another question, there some way to make a backup of my rom?
Yes there are ways to make backups of your roms but not sure how realiable they are no experience.
What is your default language? if its anything other then English then probably
what have you lost?
Strange
I have one 9100 G4 with this problem (phone can't register network) "the phone is not ready. wait 15 seconds and try again" and I flash with some custom firmwares but phone can't register sim network. Phone all the time newer ask for net sim lock code and work like unlocked phone. When I flash with this Love flash, phone for first time ask for sim net lock code I unlock with Lokiwiz03 and phone work normaly with full network
Thanks for this great info

What about that ROM interests you? Is it even appropriate for a G4? Perhaps a search of the forums for info on that ROM might help. There is also the WIKI http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277976

(please read, re-read, and read some more before you flash your G4. You don't want a really expensive paper weight.)

theres no instant messenger on wizard love!??!?!?!?
first off let me start off by saying, yes, i'm a noob. i started out by reading all the posts in every thread i could. i have a x10ht that i bought at the local asian mall, not knowing that there were so many problems unlocking it
this is the second failed attempt at flashing a new rom onto my phone. i must say, i am not impressed. it froze the last time, i'm not sure where, and this time at 47%. kinda annoying when u think about it. i took the precautions and followed instructions, but to no avail
can anyone help? i'll give all the details i can...
bl 1.09
radio 1.14
old rom was 1.35
What state is it in now?
if i plug it in to the pc, it goes into bl 1.09
so, i was able to flash the old softbank rom onto it, but now i'm stuck with a japanese device with a sim lock on it(i think). i can't even set up activesync to try to update again. any ideas guys?
I don't have much xp with the ideosyncracies of the Softbank X01ht, but you should be able to build a sspl RUU featuring the os.nb of your choice. I believe you don't want to try flashing the radio ROM area but an os.nb only flash should restore the english version of your choice.
I'd look for confirmation on the above conjecture however, before trying these steps:
download the ruu of your choice and extract the signed nbh file using winrar or equivalent (the exe is an executable rar file)
use nbhextract or nbhdump to extract all the files
use Olipro's RUU builder to create a sspl RUU with only os.nb (use the 06_os.nb extracted from step 2)
flash this onto your device
This procedure should raise a lot of questions for you to research the answers to. The answers are all here I assure you. In researching, you will learn about the techniques of custom flashing for Hermes and whether they can really be used safely on your device.
Flashing the japanese ROM shouldn't have SIM locked you again. However, if it is you can research your free solution on this thread or you can purchase unlock from here.
Also: please explain what you mean by "Can't set up Activesync"
the only problem is right now i can't even access my device... there appears to be some sort of lock on it, something to do with usim and i have no clue what it says. but i can't do anything with it
Its probably saying the SIM is incorrect. You may well be SIMLocked....
You need to get it to the today screen to do sspl flashing. Try resetting with no SIM installed. the first thing you should see after the WM splash is the phone dialer saying "The SIM is missing" in japanese. Hit the cancel button which on my TyTN is the first labeled button above the green button to return to the today screen (you may have to experiment to find the right button).
i do get that, but after a few seconds, it goes to a screen where you can put in a code and there is writing on the left soft button, but you can't select it, i assume until a suitable length code is input, and it has no ok button, so i can't even get out of it... help!!!
and by can't set up activesync i mean that i can only get into the today screen for a very limited time, and activesync doesn't seem to connect fast enough, so i'm kind of stuck.
This happens when there's no SIM installed?
yes, it does. but i may have found out something. i can connect to my hermes through activesync on my work computer... hmmm... let me see here...
wow, that was an experience
so i think i'm good, i'll update you guys as teh day goes on, but i may have fixed this myself, and i feel so releived.
yes, the same usim message was coming up regardless of the way i started it up, but i had about 20 seconds of pda usage before it would come up. i got activesync working via the work laptop on the usim screen, and was able to copy sspl over, i restarted and quickly ran sspl, which got me into des's bootloader. from there, it was just a matter of running the ruu i wanted to run in the first place, WM6 .2, and voila, we seem to be back in business... but i don't ever want to do that again, so i think i'm going to flash that hard sspl... but first to test the radio's and and other features.... wow. last time the flash ****ed up on me, i had to pay this guy $30 to fix it, and tho he did, he never wanted me to know how so i could do it myself next time. screw him!!!!
thanks to everyone and their hard work on the forums here. without you, i'd be styling with a razr rather than hacking this thing apart like it was an xbox or psp....
I am trying to flah Wizard_MB_1010811_21911 rom on my 8125 but shelltool is sitting on this message "Do not disconnect the Wizard during the process" from last 40 mins. I followed the instructions in shelltool doc step by step.
Phone is unlocked and I am using it with Tmobile US.
Can anybody help me with this? is my phone is bricked?
Followings are the specs of my Wizard.
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
Thanks in advance.
Its unlikely that shell tool will brick your phone, maybe render it unusable until you reflash another rom.
have you read the thread that details the use of the shell tool. There is alot to read but many problems are discussed there.
Shell tool shouldnt take any longer than about 15 mins, it takes me about 11-12. It seems as though you need to disconnect and reflash with wizard love or your carriers rom before reattempting to use the shell tool. Even though your post indicates that you followed the instructions step by step this may not be the case.
Shell tool most often fails because people dont miss a simple instruction such as dont run any other apps in the background, or turn the phone off.
As i said before i think you need to disconnect and reflash another rom such as wizard love or your carriers rom. Then you can attempt to use shell tool again hopefully with success. Keep us informed on how you go.
thanks for the response. I have this rom Wizard_Love_2[1].26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 which i think is the same you are talking about.
Can u please confirm it.
Thanks again
yes, my file matching that name is 72.3MB.
Its in italian but you should be able to work out what buttons correspond to next, back, cancel etc. If not just memorise them from another RUU.
Thanks for your timely help.
I flashed the Wizard love rom and the process went through without any problem. One more question, I am using this sheltool "ShellTool_bugfixed.zip", can you please confirm that it is the right one. Size of this zip is 1.04MB.
Thanks again
Yes that is the correct one.
Read the instructions carefully and you shouldnt have any trouble flashing your rom.
Thanks .. I am gonna reflash in few mins. keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks alot bwesty for your help.
Flashing WM6 went smooth. Right now I am cofiguring my email account.
Thanks again.
Hi guys, can u please upload this ROM to the ftp server or somewhere else?

Why are you guys using an obsolete flashing method? Shelltools became obsolete when SoftSPL was released and now there is even HardSPL(CID unlocking).
Shelltools is a slow and painstakingly annoying process but SoftSPL is much faster, sometimes finishes flashing in less then 7 minutes and is very stable and reliable as long as you flash back to the Wizard love Rom or T-Mobile Official Rom first but even that is not entirely required, just recommended...
No worries I haven't bricked my phone yet.
I bought a G4 Cingular 8125 that was advertised as unlocked. I know its sim-unlocked at least because i'm using it w/ a t-mobile sim card.
Trying to figure out if it is CID-Unlocked. How do you do this? I've ran EnableRapi and Cert_SPCS, rebooting after each and then tried to use the shell tool to even just view the current ROM info... all it shows in Comments is "This is a custom rom". Have also tried to use Wizard Service Tool to view information about my Wizard but to no avial I can't seem to get that program to run.
Any suggestions? I'm lost right now because everything I try doens't seem to get me anywhere. Only thing I haven't tried is running the Rom Updater Utility with a new Rom, as that seems my only option left to see if its unlocked or not right?
Three Key Topics - MUST READ - and a word or two
Make sure ... Is it a G3 or a G4? Soft reset if you don't know for sure, and look for the 0001 on the end of the IPL./SPL version numbers.
three zeros and a digit on the end - G4
less than 3 zeros-digit - G3.
Ket Reading - How to tell - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284292
G4 -- it's very unlikely to be CIDunlocked - you can only do it by paying imei-check for the software and unique key .. and it's unlikely the previous owner did that without telling you about it - it's a key selling point !! But nowadays it's not so vital anyway. The ShellTool method works perfectly IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY - and will allow you to change ROMS without threatening the sanity of your bootloader ... I've done it three tinmes so far.
Key Reading Shelltool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
G3 -- just search the forum for LokiWiz and unlock it yourself ... CAREFULLY .. if its already unlocked, doing it twice won't kill it.
Key reading - the first post and the links in it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
Yes I did read almost everything. I have a G4 My IPL/SPL is 2.25.0001 so yes its a G4...
I've read each item you posted about 3 times each. Even the bs responses to them I read not just the first page or so. I've also read the faria install tutorial and tried that. I've also done the shell tool tutorials and i'll explain the problem that arises.
Also EVERY time I follow the directions EXACTLY on shelltool nothing happens.
I've installed both Cert_SPCS, and EnableRapi on the phone then reset it. Once it boots back I turn on flight mode to disable the radio then open shell tools and click Get ROM info and nothing comes up. I'm assuming that the ROM info is from the phone? or is it from the nk.nbf of the rom you want to put on the phone?
Then just to see what happens extract takes about 10 seconds to complete and flash takes about 21 seconds to compete. The phone is connected to active sync so not sure whats up with it but oh well. I put on Wizard Love and it does what I was trying to accomplish. Still would like to try out a WM6 Rom to see the differences but not the big of a deal to me anymore.
Also if you read my post... I bought my phone from craigslist... advertised as unlocked. Trust me when you meet a guy you can barely understand for a phone that costs $220 you don't wanna sit around in his car and idle chit chat. Specially in the area that we met. When I asked the guy if it was fully unlocked he said yes or it should be because I paid for it. Also my phone isn't branded with cingular 8125... not sure if it makes a difference but it is branded with HTC
have a G4 My IPL/SPL is 2.25.0001 so yes its a G4...

It's a G4 - so it's unlikely to be CID unlocked whatever the vendor told you. Proceed as though it is CID locked.

Sorry to ask a dumb question, but I assume you installed AND executed Cert_SPCS, and EnableRapi ??

It's from the nk.nbf rom file you put into the same dir as shelltool. If its there, you'll get the info, if it isn't - you didn't read the instructions properly ...

I had the fast flash problem too. Turned out to be a corrupt ROM file. Get one of the ROMs from the list that's regularly posted around the forum. Alternatively I used the one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762 this thread. Don't forget to use the password when you unpack it !!
I'm afraid that's the best I can do as far as help is concerned .. good luck .. it worked for me
I have downloadet ATHE_wm6_x7500.zip file from another threat.
Is there anything that I should think of before I'l go on?
I know I need to take backup first.
But anything else?
And 2 more thing.
I know 3g talk is not working on wm6. Is there something else problem with it?
And is there possible to install the public release when it is released? (after I have installed this version)
Edit: Sorry for bad language.
I'm from Norway. And I spent to little time in my class
Before flashing your device:
Is it sim-unlocked and superCID ?
what is sim-unlocked and sid unlocked?
The phone is bought without simcard og something.
I can use whatever simcard I want
First Unlock
You will first want to download and install the program in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831. Make sure you read all the instructions and understand exactly what you will be doing. Then your phone will be ready to install WM6
I have read the post now.
Do I need to whatch the movie? Or is the steps readable from the exe fil when running it?
I'm in linux now and can't check the exe before rebooting.
Thanks for helping me
The steps are readable during the install but since you might not feel comfortable with english you can watch the video which always helps.
Thanks for the help. Read english is no problem. I'm just bad at writing it
First do the unlock program.
And then go for the rom file that I have mentions in first post?
Thanks again for the help
It failed after step 2. Black screen and nothing is working.
I got no error on step 1.
I have tryed to use cam button and reset to get it in debug?
And I get many colors and some info about firmware.
And there is standing USB.
Others are talking about a loading screen. Where can I find that?

That multi-color screen sounds like the bootloader. Assuming you are now super CID (not sure because your message doesn't say what the "some info" is), you simply establish a USB connection between a PC and your 7500, download the WM6 ROM on to your PC, and execute it. This was exactly my experience (just got to step 1, black screen on step 2). Lot of posts on this, so make sure you do your research before proceeding. Hope this helps, and good luck.
thanks. love it. JUST LOVE IT.
I have fixed it before you posted. mmmm.
