Problem flashing faria's new rom. Please help

[dharvey4651]

Hello I have a CID locked G4 HTC Wizard(T-Mobile MDA) and am trying to flash faria's new rom to my wizard. When I use the RUU I get an error at 99% and have to reflash the original rom provided by T-Mobile and then when I use shelltool(I installed enablerapi.cab and also cert_spcs.cab and restarted the device like instructed to do), I get stuck on the boot screen and this is what I get.

IPL: 2.26.0001
SPL: 2.26.0001
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.18.0.0

If anyone has an idea of a way to circumvent this issue, please help me because I really want to install this rom.

Thanks, Dan.

don't flash the rom using RUU method. Sounds like you aren't letting shelltools finish all the way. In shell tools install the two cabs wait a few minutes,restart, flash using shelltools, let it sit for about a half hour if it doesn't give you a end confirmation.

Actually i am installing both cabs provided in the shelltools download and then waiting a few mins and then rebooting the phone and then ran shelltools and waited untill it instructed me to hard reset and and did exactly as it told me to do and even tapped the screen as soon as the phone came back on as faria reccomended. It just seems to get stuck on the initial boot screen where it tells you your ips and spl.

Edit: Just tried again to flash the rom using the shelltools program with no success... I used the readme pdf and did exactly what it said to do and it just wont install. I think I'm just going to wait untill I can shell out the money to have the phone CID unlocked.

Thanks for trying to help me though. I appreciate it.

Are you flashing an official rom everytime before you flash a cooked rom? That's what is recommended. Have you taken out your sdcard when you flash, and turning of any virus scanner and also your radio? These are some suggestions to try. Reason why I said try again people have gotten it to go through on the 3rd or 4th try. Good luck on what you do hate to see you spend 40 dollars on something you can't for free

I tried all of that and nothing works. I have tried flashing farias rom i think over 10 times but i just cant flash it.

do you think there is any way to remove the ipl/spl and extended rom from farias rom so that it is just an OS like NBD 8.0? if thats possible then shelltool should be able to flash it with no problem even on a cid locked device.

my apologies for the bad spelling and punctuation, its 1am. lol
