did he forget to "super CID"?

again, i'd really appriciate it if you guys could point me to the right direction to repair this asap for him.

Get the latest official ROM (check the Wiki for the list), flash it. Use ShellTool to flash any WM6 ROM (CID unlock not required).

cheers for the fast reply hanmin.

from what i gather in your reply, do i basically download any rom (E.g. XDA's Mobile) and flash it using ShellTool and all should be good?

by the way, where is ShellTool? i searched but could not find a thread on ShellTool.

thanks in advance for any help guys.

Shelltool does not work via BootLoader, but from within Windows Mobile. Download the Appropiate Brand-ROM (T-Mobile/QTEK/Imate) and then upgrade.

thanks for your reply eelco_akker

he has a O2 Mini S, so i download O2 WWE from

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades

and extract it, plug in the mini s and run the upgrade right.

after it should look box fresh and i can then read the WM6 guides to get to WM6 right?

thanks for the help guys, really appriciate it. stay single.

The best advice is to follow this guide as it will step you through the process by pointing you to various roms and threads:

The key thing with a Wizard device is knowing if you have a G3 or G4. G3's are pretty forgiving, but a G4 can be bricked if you try to flash a rom with IPL/SPL that is not from the official rom for that particular phone. If you have the true official rom for that phone, then yes, just flash it and then you should have a working device again, then can follow the steps to CID Unlock it.

Oh, and last word of info... G4's cannot be CID unlocked with tools around here. You have to pay to have it CID Unlocked from IMEI Check. Or (as stated above) you can flash a different rom with Shell Tools (look in the G4 subforum of the Wizard area for info and usage on ShellTool).

Good luck! Hopefully you'll be a hero :)
