Hello!
I'm very unsure how I can update my G4 CID looked.
1. Which updateway is recommendable?
2. Can I use all Prophet Roms?
greetz Ben
Can everybody help me please?
I'm still waiting for an answer!
look in the xda-wiki ... you found the right discription.
Not Realy! I have read the wiki and all usefull threads 2 days before!
1. There are different updateways in different foren, threads and wikis and all are for G3. Some users, which have a G4 model write that you have to notice a few points, but the answers are not very clearly.
2. In the german XDA forum they tell me that I can use every prophet rom! BUT: In the wiki is written that the G3 and G4 devices have different hardware! So it is very illegitimate that I can use the same rom!
Please help me! In my statement you can see that I'm very careful because I don't want to brick it!
no you haven't,as i see !
Do you think that I'm lying? Maybe I'm blind or stupid!
1. I don't want that you tell me the updateway. A link to the tutorial which you use / would use will be ok!
2. I can see that you has a normal prophet rom. So I think that the answer is YES?
I've got the same problem. This forum is great, no doubt, but it's a MESS. I couldn't find a clear answer regarding flashing a CID LOCKED G4 Prophet.
Can I flash radio roms ? What about extrom ? Can I just flash Gullums Touch VII right away after flashing NVID rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310452 ? Can I even flash this NVID rom to CID LOCKED G4 ?
Lots of questions and for every one I can find 20 different answers, so I'm pretty confused. Maybe someone with the patience can clarify all of that, we don't want to brick our precious Prophets.
Juhuu! A further confused man!
So let's collect our incomplete knowledge together!
I read about a tool, shelltool with it you can update a CID locked device!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
I'm reading the full thread at the moment!
My rom question is still open! If I find an answer I update my device with the shelltool!
greetz Ben
OK i see your Problem!
You can Flash all Roms with the NVID Flashtool. You can only Flash Roms with this tool, if no IPL and SPL is included! WM6 Roms use too ways to Flash it. Read the Threads about this WM6 Roms ... you need only to start the Update.bat or simulare bat file ... possible a NVID Flashtool. Some Roms have two bat files for G3 or G4 Device. Use the right! Radio Roms use everytime the NVID Flashtool and work everytime with locked devices.
You dont need the Shelltool way ... this is more Hardcore for develope.
Tank you very much for your answer!
In fact:
-I can flash every prophet rom which has a G4 bat?!
-I can flash every prophet Rom which has no IPL, SPL with NVID flashtool?
My G4 runs WM6 now!
After again 5 hours investigation I know that you CAN'T kill your device with the prophet roms! When all people say "the device is bricked" they don't mean that nothing happens! They say "bricked" if the ppc stuck on the SPL/ISP screen or the bootloader. And both can be fixed with a RUU update like Prophet_PV_Temp or the original O2 rom!
Frtzrwk:
I upgraded to PDAVIET Touch 4.0.0.6!
You can get the link to both RARs in the thread.
First: Prophet_PV_Temp
For Up/Downgrading to Aku 2.2 (WM5)
Second: PV_4.0.0.0.6_Touch
The Real WM6 Rom
-Download and extract!
-Start "ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4", which install Aku2.2
#wait 10 minutes, your ppc restart automatically
-After the PPC is fully started, you install first "Cert_SPCS" and then "EnableRapi" (you can find the two files in PV_4.0.0.0.6_Touch)
#wait 1 minute and restart your device
-Now you can update your Rom with "Upgrade_Rom"
#wait ~15 minutes
-Hardreset your device! IMPORTANT!!!
Welcome to your new WM6 installation!
If your device stuck at the ISP/SPL screen (loading more than ~5 minutes), go into bootloader (camera + reset) and start again with upgrading to Aku2.2

This was all in the wiki
See http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Prophet
then
WM6 Upgrade Guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1296235&postcount=1
And your device can go to heaven when your flashing the wrong rom to a wrong device...
The answer was for Frtzrwk because he is confused too!
So shut the **** up...
I don't think so! Were is written in the f**k wiki that I can use ALL prophet roms!
There is olny one information about G4:
It is not possible to upgrade from a G3 model to a G4 model through software, as the DOC is a piece of Hardware.

So the hardware is not the same!
And by the way: I hate rapidshare... test the links!
And when everybody flash a trium rom or another **** rom they shouldn't buy a PPC!
I don't care!

We would give you the solution if we knew what it was.
CID is Country_ID - when locked you have a limit on which ROMs can be loaded. For example if the CID is locked then you can't load a German ROM on a Chinese device. Unlock the CID then you can.
yeah I understand. but did you check http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=440&PN=1
is this work?
I have o2 xda neo.
can I load only o2 roms? or can I load any original prophet rom(imate,qtek,o2...)? I understand I can't load modified roms...

solution for g4
Well folks
Someone gave me O2 XDA Neo which was in German. I successfully used the PDAmobiz tool to convert the german to english rom and now I have no problem at all. I recommend to everyone to use the tool.
Asad Hameed
Hi guys !
The solution for G4 devices is the same as they do with Wizards,
it 's just a fact of cooking your own Rom.
I just upgraded my German XDA Neo 2.21.0001 G4 device with the new standard Qtek s200 2.10 Dutch Rom. You just leave the IPL and SPL in your device like it was and just change the Rom image. There is a nice guide from Faria in the wizard topic about cooking your own rom. Just follow the guide and set your favorite Rom on your device, simple as that !!!
It really works, just check it out ;-)
My Rom can be downloaded here :
ftp xda dev - uploads prophet - s200 Final Rom Dutch
German 2.21??? ROM
is tha a new one? where is the download possible? Just get the 2.20*** WWE

For what I read this is no solution... It's just mending the problem... Cause you'd have to do this every time you want to upgrade your rom...
How about the PDAMobiz way? Dunno if that works... But seems promising... The problem is that it hasn't got much of a feedback...
Yes you have to do it always over,
but it 's not that hard to cook your ROM,
in ten minutes it 's complete.
The PDA Mobiz thing didn't work with mine,
so I tried this ...
Regards.
What we're lacking is a real tutorial on how to cook your own roms for prophet... I don't know how to cook, but I hope someone could do one, so I could learn...

simple upgrade
Hi everyone.
I have some simple question.
- I have an XDA neo from O2.
- it is G4 (.0001)
I want to update it to the latest GERMAN rom. Do I have to CID-Unlock it? Which tutorial applies to my problem. And can I still do a Backup of my original Rom (or is the O2 Rom on your page a sufficient Backup?)
I hope you can help me,
CySlider.
1)If I flash my prophet with an OS-Update,that is made for another phone(for example Black Shadow Rom,made for Hermes),what will happen??Will it work,or i will have a nice bricked prophet?
2)If it doesn't work,what files i have to change to make it work..?I assume,that i have to change the drivers for the hardware... How can I do that?
3)How can i port Wizard Roms to Prophet?I believe that most WM6 roms,are from Wizard...but there isn't any guide on how to do it.....
4)Why other phones have 6-7 WM6 Roms,and for the Prophet are only 4(smart1,PDAViet,Trueneytral,PDAMobiz)??
5)Can I emulate the Rom i will cook-port,with the Microsoft Device Emulator?How?
If any of the questions were answered,pleased post the link to the answer,because i couldn't find it...(yes,i searched)....
Also,please don't point me to the prophet wiki,because i already read it,and there's little info or no info,about Rom cooking,Rom porting....
Thanks in advance,for your answers....

1. only OS update can't brick your phone, only wrong IPL/SPL upgrade/downgrades can
2. if the OS doesn't work (if you have taken it from a non prophet phone) its hard to make it work, yes it needs the correct drivers etc. also the size the the way the OS.nb file is writen can be important
3. wizard and prophet are close with hardware etc, but you need to change the drivers for the correct ones, i'll try and post a rom cooking guide at some time on here
4. lazy dev people (i'm not lazy I just didnt have time to make one...yet)
5. might be possible, I havent tried it yet
thanks for the answers mate!Waiting for your WM6 rom...

This is the very first Thread
Hi,
Can't answer all your questions but with regard to the actual upgrade then follow this thread. Its a sticky right at the top of this forum and is there to aid people through the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310452
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE follow it word for word. It works if you do this but you may get into difficulties if you don't - you have been advised.
I have successfully used the process a number of times to go back and forth between WM6 versions and then back to WM5.
Remember that if you want to go back to your original WM5 ROM you'll need the ROM upgrade for this in order to do it. The download links are there for everything you'll need for WM6 - use them.
If you are in any doubt then STOP and don't go any further. Ask for help in the forum or reread the instructions. The large numbers of issues that people seem to have are, I am convinced, caused by either not using the instructions or not following the published ones.
Having used WM6 on my Propher I'd have to say that currently the available ROMs whilst fantastic achievements, aren't really what I'm prepared to use on a daily basis. If you are happy to beta test and install your apps everytime you upgrade then go for it.
I am currently back on WM5 either until I see a WM6 ROM that I am able to use 'in anger' day to day.
I'm really interested to see if we get a working HTC Touch port - now that would be something.
Hope this helps,
RADAR
Read, Read & Read
This forum is more or less for Flash-a-holics anonymous.
If you are ready to sacrafice your precious sleeping hours and sex life, then jump to these WM6 beta ROM's.
Judge by your questions, you would be more happy:
1. Buy a Touch
2. Stay in WM5
The WM6 ROM for Prophet that you are looking for or for that matter, that many are looking for, is still in the kitchen, cooking.....
Unless you feel that you fit the pre-requitsite, or you feel humping Prophet is more enjoyable than .... then jump to the WM6 pool ......
Don't say I don't warn you before hand!

There will never be an official WM6 release for the prophet, these wm6 roms you'll find are from other pda's made ready for the prophet.
They are all safe to use if you follow the steps that you have red in the upgrade topic.
If you want the HTC Touch gadets on your Prophet you should read this topic and try out the Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4! rom
You can always switch back to wm5 if you dislike wm6 roms
Any advice: make an backup of your contacts/messages/photoshoots ect. because you will loose anything on your phone memory and find out if you have a G3 or a G4 phone!
Have Fun

I can't say which rom is best for you, they all have their own advantages, you'll have to find out yourself which one suits you
Upgrading your rom has nothing to do with your GSM service provider, but your GPRS settings will be lost after an rom update so you'll need to know how to set them right

Ok here I come to save the day... The reason you are getting that error message is because you have a locked G4. From what you have said already, It sounds like you have T-Mobile and unfortunately, due to DOC right protection on all of our devices, you need to perform some kind of unlock on your device or work around it. I believe that G4 CID unlocking has been almost perfected but I can tell you 2 other ways to flash your device.
On the grander scale, here are all 3 known ways to flash your G4 device.
First and formost, shelltools is a very common and most heavily used way to flash a G4 device. It extracts the OS from the Rom and then flashes it to your device and afterwards, you need to hard reset your device and what do you know, you have WM6.
The second way to flash a Rom to a G4 device is to use SoftSPL. SoftSPL temporarily patches the CID on your device to think it is CID unlocked and allows you to flash a new Rom to the device as if it were in fact permanently unlocked but this is only a one time go. Each time you want to change Roms, you have to flash back to your carriers official Rom and then run SoftSPL again with the new Rom of your choice.
Third and finally, I mentioned above that they have managed to permanently CID unlock G4 devices but I am not sure if they managed to perfect it yet. I also have not tried this method before because I had to have a handset exchange and ended up with a G3.
Don't take this personally, but you really need to do alot of reading before you dive into the world of Rom flashers because from the sounds of what you wrote above, you don't know enough about flashing Roms yet and that makes it really hard. Trust me, I was in your shoes before.
Just hang out in the G4 forum for a while and read as much as you can and when you feel comfortable with what you are about to do, then give it a try. I really don't want to see you screw up your phone and brick it, but I do want to see you succeed in the Rom flashing world so for your own sake, read up. Here are just a few threads that you really should check out before trying to so something you're not sure about.

No problem... It was my pleasure. You should give 1921 a try. It's its rights newest version and is supposed to be much better. I read the whole thread and one major fix is battery life. A must for a Wizard user.

Hey,
Newbie here. I own two smartflips bought from i-mate hq (Dubai). However, i'm now in Aus. WM6 looks nice and i must say, great work and appreciation for those who cook up these ROMs. However, i noticed that all these ROMs start off from either Cingular or QTEK or HTC. why leave i-mate ROMs behind guys? Anyways, before i try out any of these ROMs, i just don't want to end up killing my phone. I've searched high and low for i-mate stock ROMs (WM5). I saw one in a post but that was like WWE or something which i'm not sure what it means. I don't want to register on i-mate and do loads of form-filling and IMEI filling just to get some ROMs. Anyone have any idea of where i can acquire some 'stock' WM5 i-mate ROMs (not qtek or cingular or htc or wotever).
The other thing.. i haven't SuperCID-ed my smartflip. I tried to get to the bootloader (for no reason.. just experimenting) by pressing the keys n all but it doesn't show up. it goes to the i-mate screen.. then flashes an HTC logo and boots WM5. Once again my smartflip is Out-of-the box, hope that helps someone explaining the phenomena. i do have the i-mate CD that came with it. However didn't find and option to install Windows Mobile 5.0. I need a ROM to keep a backup in case i screw up. If anyone could help me obtain an i-mate WM5 ROM, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, how would one find out the IPL and SPL of the smartflip? As i mentioned i wouldn't like to brick my phone. It is mentioned somewhere that the 3.06 or wotever IPL and SPL version are not capable of flashing through micro-sd card. Not sure but i think the 4.0 or wotever can flash through micro-sd card. Apart from the link(to files) posted in a thread, isn't there an 'official' way of getting to update the IPL and SPL?
Sorry for such a long post. One thing i must say, great work guys. I would like to suggest people to follow up on their threads. there was one 'bricked' post but the person said he found a solution but never posted what his solution was. It would be helpful if he could have posted the solution as it does help others. Apologies if i said anything wrong.
Thanks,
Dan.
You used to be able topick up Imate roms from ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
But they won't be nearly as good as the cooked Wm6 ones. Just follow the instruction and flash away.
(WWE means worldwide english)
Flash one of the cooked ones! I use Erofich's 6.1 and it's great.
WWE just means WorldWideEnglish as opposed to other languages.
Good luck
I have a SmartFlip upgraded with GnatGoSplat's WM6 ROM (Eurofich' WM6 is better but GPRS doesn't work): it works fast and without problems.

Imate didn't upgrade the SmartFlip's ROM to WM6.

What's a problem? Use my WM6.1 where everything works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374397
just install a Cumulative Fix after flashing and have a fun
Btw, you can also use Jony_aa's WM6 AKU 0.5.1 ROMs with most useful software included, or clean version

Thank you all!
Hi,
Thank you all for your responses. i-mate roms at imate ftp site is confirmed. Thanks unwired. The thing is i take calculated risks and have most info before i do some thing. so if i end up somehow bricking my phone, i will know what to do before dad kills me . Now i just need to update the IPL/SPL and get into bootloader to see if it works. Then gonna flash with WM6 or WM6.1. I just needed a stock ROM to keep as backup because its mentioned somewhere that if your phone is bricked, u can try to flash it using micro-sd card flashing. but that only works with stock ROMs if WM6 flashing fails. Anyways, thanks once again. i will keep you guys updated on my progress.. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Dan.

SDA_ApplicationUnlock
Where can one get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe? the superCID thread didn't mention where to get it or either i missed it... anyone out there to help me??
Thanks,
Dan.
(If i succeed in doing this.. i'll make an Utimate WM6 for STRTRK guide)
IPL/SPL
Hi,
Sorry for multiple questions. I still haven't been able to get into the bootloader by pressing the voice notes and camera and power on key. I'm still not sure how it goes. Do you have to hold the keys, press the power button and let go immediately of all the three keys or do you have to hold the power button for long with holding the voice and camera keys? i need to check which version of the bootloader i have to make sure it supports flashing from micro-sd. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dan.
EDIT: I was also looking for some way to backup software from my current WM5 ROM. There are some apps that come in-built which i like. But since i don't have the .cab(s) i was wondering if there would be a way to backup software and later on install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Out of a million tries, I only managed to get into the bootloader ONCE that way. Okay, I exaggerate, but I found it almost impossible to use RECORD, CAMERA, and POWER to get into bootloader. Instead, I've found with the phone OFF, press RECORD, CAMERA, and plug the USB connector into the PC while holding those buttons. It goes into Bootloader every single time that way.
You can back up the built-in apps, but it requires figuring out which files belong to which app, and also getting their registry entries. Then you can either manually copy all those files into the phone and manually import the registry entries, or make them into a cab file to automate it.
WOW.. thnx for that!
Yup! Worked like a charm! i have IPL/SPL 1.02 or wotever.. so i don't need to worry about micro-sd card flashing problems ( i hope i never need to use that in my life). So if it works this way.. i would recommend others who have bricked their phones and trying to flash it holding the record, and camera button while phone is off, plug it in the usb. As soon as i did that, Vista picked it up as a mobile device. the bootloader ( the screen sucks! what a dreadful combination of colors!) also shows a usb sign at the bottom. I hope this info helps those who bricked/killed their phone and were finding it hard to re-flash it. As it is mentioned in some thread... if wm6 flashing fails, u have to revert back to stock rom WM5 (cingular rom for cingular phone, i-mate rom for i-mate, etc) and then re-flash with WM6. I wonder if rom update utilities work when in bootloader connected to pc.
Once again, thanks for your reply GnatGoSplat. As for the apps, yea.. i know its bad. I did check over onto the i-mate site and found a file 'Arabic...' something. it didn't mention it as a rom so i'm hoping they are the software packages that come with the default middleast rom. You might have heard of 'Portableapps' on PCs. They are little beauties. Because the original windows and windows mobile are linked closely.. i might wonder if there could be a way to port those ( or even create your own) onto windows mobile. I know how to make portableapps so if you need any info, i think i could help unless someone knows better.
So where do i get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock file? Thanks.
Regards,
Dan.

Thanks.. sadly, i've got some bad news...
Hi,
Thanks for the file Erofich. Unfortunately, I've just been caught up with studies and hence will not be able to work on modding my i-mate until i get some free time. however, i'm still going to try to work on an 'Ultimate WM6 for Startrek Guide'.
Its just that its better for end-users because some of the information is scattered around and 'some' of the instructions are a bit hard to follow (no offense to anyone). If anyone has any concerns or is against my actions, please let me know.
Regards,
Dan

You can translate some menu (in the post of WM6 by Eurofich you find how) but not all of them.
You can get the xT9 with spanish language with a cab you can find looking in that ROOM.
