I am currently running the Cingular 2.25.0001 ipl/spl .. is there a better one out there that would be safe to upgrade to on my 8125 G4?
lol.. No one has any suggestions?! lol .. I see a couple people with 2.26 and 3.08 .. just wondering how those would work with my G4
You've got a WHOLE LOT of reading to do if you're thinking about changing your IPL/SPL on a G4 Wizard.
Good Luck!!
that's what I figured.. I wasnt sure if it was safe to do... or easier to do with my CID unlocked..
This thread would be the perfect place to start.
HA! Thanks newbie.. I guess I will be leaving my IPL/SPL alone .. .. Maybe I will wait for cingular to make an update.. lol.
I have :
O2 XDA mini S G4 CID locked
IPL/SPL 3.08.0001;
Radio 2.69.11;
OS 10.2.0.8 WWE mUn_aRTM
Just flash this rom

then you have German OS with IPL/SPL 3.08.0001. Radio 2.69.11
OS can you reflash later.
Question I have is.. What exactly does the IPL/SPL do? lol ..
apparently doesnt let you make calls. every time i try to dial a number, it says your international call cannot be completed as dialed... its useless, i just did it on my g3.

IPL and SPL are your bootloaders.
They initialize and load your OS and radio. different versions have different commands available to them and in some cases a higher number means a better version. In others the higher number means there are security "fixes" that will make it harder for you to flash your phone.
For a Wizard I have seen no reason to update higher than the T-Mobile 2.26. But then again you should only do this if you have a G3. Flashing G3 bootloaders into a G4 device will irrevocably brick it.
I believe (don't quote me on this though) that only official carrier roms (newer than the G4 device) contain both G3 and G4 bootloaders and as such are safe to flash to a G4 device. I would confirm this with your carrier before doing so though.
Hi
this method works perfectly
Now have a G4 CID locked update to IPL/SPL 3.08.0001
Thx
Just flash with Deutsch ROM to update IPL/SPL
& reflash to your favorite ROM

Are you saying you upgraded you G4 CID locked phone using a ROM that isn't from your provider??
Please clarify this matter so that other users don't brick their phones!

Yes I do.
I am a french guy, my provider is Ten Mobile.
I already have brick my Wizard before. Thanks to the guarantee, it was repaired.
Just replace Updater by ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.
2 days of use nothing to announce.

I have a G4 CID locked phone and IPL/SPL thats older than 2.26 and I see no reason to update them still, considering that I can upgrade everything else (OS, radio, ext rom, splash) without touching IPL/SPL. Of course, I am a little more cautious having bricked (yes, real "replacement required" type brick) my phone once.

You flashed your O2 (G4 and CID locked device) with T-Mobiles ROM?! Sounds crazy to me... Are You sure that your device is CID locked at all? Even G4 device may be CID unlocked, using imei-check - only way this thing have some sense...
Can SPL 2.21.0001 downgrade to 1.06 and smaller?

why? even with NoID updater it's not possible to update a locked G4?
Hello could somebody post the latest SPL & IPL for G4?
Thanks!
i don't suggest to play around with IPL and SPL , if you make a mistake you can brick your device forever.
here is the link you want :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315016
once again , if you like your phone and you want to keep it and use it , don't play around with these two. specially IPL.
Lastest IPL/SPL is 2.58.0001 and can found on a T-Com TC-500 Prophet.

First you need to remove 'HardSPL',revert back to official carrier's IPL/SPL and then flash back the official carrier's rom,follow the link below for complete guidance:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744
Thanks
Thank you! I managed to downgrade ...
Hi everybody.
I'm about to upgrade my O2 XDA G4 from WM5 to WM6. I bought this neo on ebay and I don't know if it has already been HardSPled. Is there any chance to know - or - can the HardSPL procedure run again without creating problems?
Are the Radio, the IPL and SPL upgraded as well using one of the last WM6 rom or they should be upgraded manually? Do you recommend to upgrade also IPL/SPL/Radio?
Many thanks
The way to tell if it has been HardSPLed is to see the SPL number.
if it is 2.G3.4PDA or 2.G4.4PDA it has been hard SPLed if not, you will need to do it.
Generally, radio ROMs and IPL/SPL are best left alone (other than SPL for HardSPL).
Thanks for your quick quick reply. I have the following numbers:
IPL 2.15.001
SPL 2.15.001
GSM 02.30.21
OS 2.13.9.21 ITA
So I think I have a "2.G4.4PDA". BTW, while I can understand what 2.G4 means, I have no clue about 4PDA... Can you help?
Thanks again
D.
The numbers themselves (2.G4.4PDA) are meaningless... I think it is 2 (the SPL version) G4 (the device version) 4PDA (sounds like "for PDA").
You will need to HardSPL first, using G4 HardSPL as your device is a G4, then you can flash a ROM.
Done.
Thanks for your support. Now I have the following:
IPL 2.15.001
SPL 2.G4.4PDA
GSM 02.30.21
OS 2.13.9.21 ITA
Now you can flash a ROM.
Hi,
I´ve an HTC Wizzard / T-Mobile MDA and i think AKU 3 was installes.
The bootscreen say :
IPL : 3.08.0001
SPL : 3.08.0001
GSM : 02.69.11
OS : 3.8.2.2
Is ist possible to upgrade the Rom to any custom Firmware?
I´ve found that this is an G4 phone but im not sure it´s possible to upgrade.
Maybe you can tell me it´s possible or not.
I hope my eglish is good enough so that somebody understand what i mean.
yes, you can

hi, yes, you can flash a new rom, but first of all, read , read, read and then read again, the process is very simple once you have readed the faqs (stickies)
good luck !!!1
Thanx for your answer!
I´ve read the Wiki and the sticky´s in this forum, i´ve searcht for my IPL/SPL Build and read this topics too.
But i´m unsure.
In the past (when the Wizard was new for me) i´ve read that the IPL/SPL 3.08.0001 (AKU3) wasn´t possible to upgrade .
Now i can´t find anything about that but i´m unsure.
Then i´ve read about Soft an HardSPL Flash but what is the best for me?
I´ve read that SoftSPL was better if you have warranty on your phone but my phone havent any warranty because it´s to old.
Should i use HardSPL to permanently remove the CID lock (then i should use only G4Save Rom´s - Right?)?
So Steps i want to do now to upgrade my Wizard :
1 . G4 Hard SPl CID unlock
[Solution] G4 Hard SPL (CID unlock)
But this tutorial say´s (After reboot the IPL version is : 2.21.0001 and the SPL is 2.21.olip) can the IPL 2.21.0001 boot the "old" AKU3 T-Mobile Germany Rom or must i update the rom with Mun's RUU imediatly?
2. I Update the rom with Mun's RUU after i´ve read this ROM Features, Ratings, Information and Program List topic to chose the best rom for me, G4 Safe only!?
Right or have i forgot some steps?
It´s done,
i´ve read some topics again and again und then i used the SoftSPL CID unlock and flash my wizard succesfull.
Thanx!
