Bad cid-unlock, maybe

[Michalek]

Hi; I tried to unlock my G3 wizard and now I think I am very stupid.

First, I get CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe and upgrade wizard, on wizard was IPL 1.xx SPL 2.xx, GSM also anything, but OS nothing. Blank line. Then that booted to bootloader.

So I tried RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_WWE.exe, it wrote IPL 2.26, SPL 2.26 and OS nothing. Then i tried t-mobile rom, but it didn't work, because "only upgrade".

I tried through CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe, so now I have IPL 1.01, SPL 2.26, GSM something, OS nothing (blank line) and I think I'm stupid.

Any ideas? Thank you...

Make sure that you have unlocked the device correctly. Read Dr. P's sticky:A Definitive Guide to Unlocking G3 Wizards and also the wiki.

I know that i haven't unlocked my wizard :-) The problem was before that I started unlock... OS disappeared after first flash.

Reflash with the Button 1.05 Rom, if the IPL & SPL don't match after the first flash then flash a second time with the same Rom, that should fix IPL/SPL problems.

Now Unlock your device BEFORE flashng a 2.x Rom.

Dr P's Sticky Thread covers this, please read it throughly..

I reflashed Button ROM for three times, I still have IPL 1.01 and SPL 2.26.

I can't unlock my device, because I haven't OS...

Hm, in point 7 - Connect your device and cancel the partnership. (You're a guest )
I can not connect my device, because I haven't OS on Wizard, he boots only to bootloader (with IPL 1.01 and SPL 2.26). I can flash from PC, but then I never have OS od MDA.

I read the "A Definitive Guide to Unlocking G3 Wizards" many times, but I dont's see any solution...

Maybe I have strange wizard :-)

When all else fails, flash an official Rom from your Service Provider. That should get you back to working order then proceed with the unlocking from there.

Maybe I have strange wizard :-)When I say "Connect your device" I mean to connect it to the USB cable. Two paragraphs after item 17 I address this issue. You don't need an OS, just be in the bootloader screen. I've personally had this exact same thing happen where all I had was the IPL and SPL with nothing else. Remove battery from PDA and then put it back in. Make sure you reboot your PC.

Good luck.

good idea, but it doesn't work; because "upgrade only" - My originally T-Mobile ROM is only 2.21, so I can't flash it

17. My suggestion, take for what it's worth, is to download and install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM This will give you a strong 2.26 IPL and SPL to work with.

Invalid Vender ID.

But I can flash MOLSKI ROM with 2.26 IPL/SPL. Should I?

For everyone: Thanks for your time, really. But I'm confused, I read all, nothing helped.

Let's say: "Michalek is very stupid, we'll write him "what to do" step by step" :-)) something like "You asshol, connect your mda in bootloader to pc via usb, then download this, run it, then ...".

Because manual doesn't work for me, probably.

New year, new way :-) I tried to flash today - and - i see OS, I'm in OS, I'm going to unlock wizard based on Unlocking Tutorial ;-)

I don't know, why it was successful. I tried reboot yesterday for four times, but it not helped. Only today.

I'm the happiest man on the planet :-) And, "I've seen PROBABLY every situation with a G3 device here." - it is TRUE :-)

Thank you for your time.

-Michalek- Well that's wha we like to hear! The 1.05 works great as a disaster recovery tool. Most times when it doesn't work I tend to lean on the PC as the culprit. CHKDSK, temp files, spyware and virus's, etc.

Happy New Year, no?

I'm glad it's working for you! Don't feel stupid though. My first attempt at loading a new rom went very similar. The CID unlock process told me it was successful (I thought) but it wasn't. I freaked out and thought all was lost. But I finally worked through it by going back to the Button ROM (LOVE THAT BEER SPLASH SCREEN) and starting over. The same problem even happened again about three weeks ago. After freaking out, I reloaded the Button ROM and was back on my way to normalcy ;)

MDA is running on Superrom 1.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288074) and it works! :-)

I don't know, what exactly was the problem with OS, but it helped me, when I left MDA cca three hours without battery. When I flashed the ROM before, OS wasn't.

At the last time, THANK ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH. And special thanks for Dr Puttingham and his unlocking tutorial. Thanks.
