G4 WM6 BRICKED! please help ASAP!!!! - G4

I was flashing my brothers phone for him, and I was using the CID Workaround, and it completed, and then after a hard reset the device wouldnt go past the first splash screen.. pllease help

If your able to get into bootloader mode then you should be able to flash another rom such as wizard love or your providers rom.
If you read the thread on unlocking G4 cid locked using shell tool you will see what i mean. I personally was stuck in a very similar situation and received help, so the info you need might be in that thread.

i used the shell tool, but i just got stuck on the first splash after i did that.... here are device specs
Its a Cingular 8125, obivously g4
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
It doesnt get past bootloader, and I would really like to put WM6 on it.
At this point, I've tried various other ROMs and nothing is working. Any thoughts or ideas at all would be appreciated. Thanks.

jUST DO WHAT I SAY
gREETINGS,
Just follow this steps u will be out of it.
Press and hold the camera button and reset the phone, hold the camera button until you see the tri color screen (bootloader), when u are on tri color screen connect the USB with your phone(dont see for active sync it wont recognise but it will be connected), and then flash your phone with the rom your provider has given you i.e, the original rom and DONT flash it with shell tool use the exe file of the rom.
When you are at the original rom then try to flash the WM6 with shell tool and follow the instruction properly.
Thanks

I cannot do that because the Carrier ROMs that I have aren't for G4, so they arent working. I have three different carrier ROMs for my phone.. and none of them work.

Check your email, I downloaded and zip works fine here.

i'm facing this problem right now , i will solve it with the original rom .
the problem started when i used shelltool to upgrade my G4 CID Locked to windows mobile 6 crossbow underground edition .
i will give it another try when i get my device alive again ,
any suggestions for the WM6 underground to make it work using shelltool on my wiza 200 ??
--------------------- Edit -----------------------
Finally i solved the problem and installed Crossbow WM6 underground edition .
all i did is to install the original rom from provider and then used shelltool to install WM6 .
i want to mention that my wiza200 is G4 and its CID Locked .
Huge thanx to mUn , you are da man

Mmm
I've tried underground wm6, but flashing till 96%, then error 302. I've searching for love rom few hours at night, then finally found, it is using the same flashing frontend (but in italian? language), flashed ok, phone's running. I've tried some few other wm6 roms, but always errors like "too old, get new one" or once it was probably fake, because it loaded exactly the same ROM as love one is. So, now I've probably stuck on WM5 at all

Mine is G4, dunno if cid is locked or not. I've flashed it as I said with wizard love rom and working without problems. I've tried that again this morning, to flash from love rom, but the same. At 96% it hangs, error 302 Communication error, then starts recovery process, phone goes to bootloader mode. Then is possible to flash it with love rom again with no problem

g4
i have a g4 wizard using the shell tool i have chaged my rom on my phone sometimes 3 times a week just to test them out
the shell tool works if you cant download from the forum here is the link for it
http://rapidshare.com/files/17787647/ShellTool_bugfixed.zip

G4
yes, but when I run shelltool, and press get rom info, all fields states N/A
info from phone is:
ROM Version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
Radio: 2.25.11
ExtROM: 2.26.10.105
IPL/SPL: 2.17.0001
And anyway, dunno exactly which rom for WM6 I can put in (I've just 5.underground_edition_Crossbow_ROM.exe which stucks at 96% with 302 error)

well, I'm dumb, mislooked one stupid thing. Everything passed without errors, Windows Mobile 6 is up and running

happy to know that , the problem was installing rapi ha ??
WBR

No, not really, rapi and that second cab was in device, it was restarted, but I did a mistake - i didn't copied that desired rom into updater directory - that was why were all fields N/A... did that, flashed on first try, without problem

I had the same problem, orginal rom from the provider, and I can reflash it again.....
THX for the info......

ROM verion and link location
Hi lobiik,
which ROM did you use for your device, as you comments above:
"i didn't copied that desired rom into updater directory "
can you please point me to location where i can get the ROM, also proper steps to install the same.
Thanks,
Ajay

Flash to wizard love or your carrier's rom. Then use shelltool, if you get stuck repeat the process. Sometimes it takes a couple of attempts.
umm how do you get the shelltool?
im new to this site so can u help me out?

If your new I plead with you to read the wiki and the sticky's in the wizard forums. Then you can come back here and ask whatever you like. Most people on here are very friendly and helpful but all we ask is that others read a bit before asking. This reduces the amount of redundant questions.
There is an entire thread dedicated to the use of shelltool.
Good Luck
I could never get any rom to flash on my locked G4. Tried Shelltools with about 4 different roms w/o success. Finally broak down and paid the $42 US to imei-check.co.uk for their unlocking service.
Now I'm unlocked and back to flashing until my hearts content - Running NBD 8.3 w/radio 2.69.11 on my Cingular/ATT 8125.
Avoid the grey hair and if ShellTools doesn't work after the second time, pay for the service.
Stuck on a splash screen,
I also had a same problem after flashing by Shelltool and stuck on a splash screen.
Flash back to custom setting using RUU tool and Wizard Love rom.
(wizard love rom is for G4 cid locked wizards. It doesnt have IPL/SPL section)
Again I have flashed Most beautiful ver; using shelltool and now i am enjoying new WM6 on my G4 locked wizard.
***************
My Experience
***************
After you stuck on splash screen, Your device wont detect by activesync to use with RUU (rom upgrade utility) tool. But still you can go to Bootloader mode (rainbow screen) by holding camera button while you soft reset the phone. Run the RUU tool after you manualy set the bootloder mode. RUU tool will detect your device on USB with bootloader mode (your PC not giving any sign of usb connectin but RUU detect your devise)
Othewise RUU toll give you 'error message 260'
This method was worked for me.
ok I've been reading a lot & had some problems with certain roms but I need to ask a very stupid question:
how do I turn off the radio? does this means having the phone in flight mode?
thanks
exactly. Flight mode is radio turned off. I was surprised too, when i saw radio off, but logical thinking give me an answer. like u
CID-Unlock .... how ????
Excuse me, but where is the "Running NBD 8.3 w/radio 2.69.11 on my Cingular/ATT 8125." ROM ??? .... I've been surfing the forum but couldn't find anything !!!
Thank U
let me get this right once you cid unlock the phone you can flash the g4 without the shell program?
yes that right! once you unlock you dont ned shell toll you can flash to any ROM!
also if you wanna use shell tool flash to trisyndicate and then to the rom you want to flash (both use shelltool) it werked ofr me

Those are two separate updates/flashes I performed after CID unlocking my 8125.
There is a thread in the WM6 forum containing NBD 8.3 and just do a search for the 2.69.11 radio. Just be sure to also search for the Cingular CAB fix for the 2.69.11 radio.
If you get stuck, just send me a PM.

Help!!! 24 hours

I'v been up for 24 hours. I have searched, read eveything, DL every tool, rom I could find and I am tired and upset. I have followed every post to the line.
I have a G4. I used the shelltool and flashed the TNT_5.0_Wizard_Professional to it. It booted once and worked great but has never booted since. It gets to the HTC screen. and shows the IPL 2.28.0001 and the SPL 2.28.0001 the GSM 02.25.11 and the OS 6.0.0.0
At this point I don't know what to do to unbrick my phone. I tried to go into bootloader and reflash the ROM but it always gives me a no communication error. Any advice or any one having this problem and had any luck fixing this would be super helpful.
Thanks...

You don't have a brick
Load the wizard into bootmode (start and keep voicecommand button pressed until you see a three colored screen)
Then kill active sync (wcescomm.exe in taskmanager).
Connect your device
Load the original rom and flash.
After that you can reflash almost any rom to your G4 with Soft SPL.
Its faster than shelltool
Or you can CID unlock it using hard SPL, and run the Ruu from the ROM itself.
Before using Soft SPL or Hard SPL read the threads first.
Good luck,

Two things:
1- 'No communication' can come from low voltage battery. Be sure to have it more than 60% before changing ROMs
2-The TNT 5.0 is a cooked ROM and is smaller than the Official ROMs.
TNT5.0 - 0x3800000
Official - 0x3900000
Which means that ShellTools can hang because of the size difference.

It's not a brick yet.
Have you tried Mestrini's tip, regarding fully charging the device?
You can also try to use another usb port and better yet, another computer, even if the initial flashing was from the computer you are using now.

Managed to break My G4

Ok Guys, gonna test all you senior moderators / users here and put you to challenge to see if you can help me get my wizard G4 back up and running.
For the past couple of days Ive been faffng about the forums looking for a way to change my g4 WM5 to WM6, after digging in i realised i had to install vmware and put xp on it, so far so good.
After that ive tried every rom (with all their own prepackaged files) and got nowhere, every time i managed to get one that would even get to a percentage bar screen it would go to 100%, restart and nothing changed. I even tried the all new soft spl way but got some error msg saying a .exe was missing.
tonight, i managed to get a ´302´ error and its now stuck on the bootloader screen, my question is:
how can i ´flash´back to normal state from here , doesnt the pda have to be synced in order to flash it again
I hang my head in shame, i managed to mess it up real this time..
My pda rests in your hand gents. id appreciate the help
Thanks.

seems like ur on G4 CID LOCKED and u try to flash with RUU "NO WAY BRO "
flash ur official rom 1st using RUU while on bootloader then flash any G4 safe rom using :
ShellTool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
or
SoftSPL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
i hope i helped
didnt work, thanks though
thanks for the tip, i tried it and
with soft spl:
when i ran START-sSPL.exe it opens up in cmd and the progress at the bottom doesnt go anywhere but 0.
and shell tools managed to get al the way untill you press OK, when decides to crach..every time.
again, i thought in order to flash these devices to have to have an active sync. but you cant sync things when its showing the red-green-blue bootloader screen...or am i missing something.
more tips are VERY welcome, thanks lads.
PS sorry for being such a noob, pdas are a new thing to me Ñ= and this ones only 2 weeks old for me
shelltool doesn`t crash it hangs only just wait for 30-40 min and unplug ur device and hard reset it will work
aslo on the bottom of bootloader screen u will find USB that means that its connected and it can sync
ill try it.
yeahi seen the usb writing, ok.
ill leave it for 30-40 mins and see what happens, thanks alot for your help so far!

hey guys thanks for all the help so far.
recently ive been stuck trying to flash the wizard love rom onto my G4, but today i finally cracked it. For some random reason, the phone didnt like the original wizard love rom described in vippies tutorial ( which i looked at , at the very start, a kick ass tutorial bth), i even went out and bought a new usb cable just incase it on the off chance it was that, nope. I kept getting 2 different error messages do to with the connection. 630 i believe was one of them (which is just a general connection error msg).
but today, after searching for a while i found a customised wizard love rom on a bittorrent site that worked like a charm. so im alln gear´d up with a working pda again ! woohoo
So im back to phase one....phasetwo...get wm6 on it or probably break it again for another 3 weeks in the process.
wish me luck !
lol
Nah, i took your adivce and tried to flash that octavia rom onto it...
back to the good old red green and blue screen except this time it doesnt display RUU at the top right hand side anymore...im pretty sure thats a bad thing?
woot!
woot woot!
lots of tinkering over the last few days has proven successful.
ive went from having a non working 9100, and trying hard to find a base rom that would flash properly to:
Finding a wizard_love rom and installing it
managing to use soft spl (which god knows why decided to work after the gizillionth time) and flashing a very respectable wm6 rom to it ( Octaivo, thanks for the tip johngalt82)
And..AND!! even getting the HTC_Touch_ Home_Plugin displaying wonderfully
happy as a pig in ****.
for now...

What IPL/SPL it displays now ? ,Does it get into Bootloaders ? if it still does than download and flash 'wizard_love_rom' hope it'll recover back.
RE:
It just boots into a white screen. If i hold the camera and power buttons together it boots into bootloader mode, and says USB in the bottom corner. (when i am conncected via usb) but the problem is that active sync doesnt recognize it in bootloader mode. I have tried flashing it in many different ways and i have had no success.
When i go home i will try wizard_love_rom.
and as for the IPL/SPL, i will also check that when i get home.
Where can i download the wizard_love_rom?
Thanks for the help !

I have to problems:

2. I can't upgrade to any new rom..... i always get "ERROR [300] Get a newer update utility!"
How can I fix both of these problems?
I have searched forums and google and nothing has come up.

ok,for error (300)you can use the RUU MUNS already posted in the 'HardSPL' thread,download the RUU_MUNS application extract it to a folder and copy and paste all the files of this extracted to the folder of the Rom replacing all the RUU files in that folder or copy the nk.nbf folder in the Rom to the extracted folder of the RUU_MUNS and then run the RUU,it will start to flash and complete and hopefully fully boot up.
For edge or gprs,you'll have to get network settings of your network carrier or check out the thread from where you downloaded the rom,its uaually posted there or check out the 'Network' thread.
Aquestion to Zabardast_1 ?
294 error , invalid vender ID
what does that means & asolution to it during rom update
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.

Are you sure SPL is 2.21 and not 2.21.0001 as IPL 2.21.0001 ?
Well,if its 2.21 only,the phone's got mixed Bootloaders (IPL/SPL),IPL 2.21.0001 are G4 and SPL 2.21 is G3,I don't know how you got it,but your phone is 'Bricked'
mmm it figures
so it appears there could be a problem with the imei program,
as i said it never came out of boot mode after the unlock
and no errors were shown ...
i could get another and replaced the main board, this one is in new condition
except for the custom bricked rom . in the future i will not play with a g4
thanks for the diagnosis, no way to flash a new spl / ipl ... i did read that if
it booted you could get it back in some chance cases .. i am curious as to how this happened (others not doing this for a hobby could brick there only phone)
step 1 - ran imei unlock
never came out of boot mode after
2- flashing the to above roms said to be G4 safe
i never look to see what the ipl / spl were before
i looked with the wizard tool but didn't save it
well you live and learn, it's good for parts now off to ebay for another crack at it ...
thanks everyone ... the best thing about this phone is everything you can do to it
with help from those who know ...
I recommend trying to flash back to original service provider ROM, then unlock again and try another. As long as you can get to bootloader (tri-color screen), there's still hope for your phone. When it's in this mode, and you plug in the USB, does it say USB at the bottom of the phone screen? If so, you are not dead yet.
Custom build wm6 roms like TNT etc... never Brick a G4 phone as no IPL/SPL is included in them,they are completely safe for G4 devices.What I can gather,it must be the wrong imei unlock code perhaps.
Well,like Myrddin Wyllt said,there's no harm in trying,so if it gets into Bootloaders,try to flash the official rom and if there's an error "wrong update utility" ,replace the RUU in the rom with this RUU and run this RUU,hope it might work.

ok, i swapped out every RUU i could find i get errors from
read file
invalid vendor id
wrong update utility
im too new to figure this out ..can you extract a ipl / spl from an
official rom and then flash that to get the boot loader's back in sync
i found the att 8125 ipl /spl nbf when i flash, it runs to 100% reboots but no changes
anyone have a link to flashing just the ipl / spl on the g4
i am most thankful for any advise ..
try running the hardspl on phone, it might just work to revert it back to a G4 spl.

Also I paid to the IMEI Check and I had to change the plate because the PDA died as yours. E had not returned to the money of the IMEI Check only reply to me was that it had to change of plate ..... It had the unblocked CID?
bastards
yes they won't return my money ... somehow they bricked my phone
i would use the hard /spl and not the imei those guys are assholes
