Can't seem to flash any roms... CID locked G4..

[elementxero]

So I've spent the last two days either out drinking or recovering and studying this and a few other forums. I feel like I have a solid grasp on flashing a rom but I'm still having the same issue with every one.

First, I have a T-Mobile HTC Wizard, flashed with most recent OEM build, CID locked, SIM unlocked.

Usin Shelltools to extract the OS, I've tried NBD 9.1, and also the OS that comes with Faria's guide. I copy those two cab files Cert and enablerapi to my Wizard and installed them, and soft rebooted with the stylus hole on the side, activesync to my comp, and run shelltools.

About 5 minutes (shorter than it should be from what I've heard) in with either of these OS's I get a message saying that the install is done from shelltools and my wizard gets a message that says "Cannot load ndblog.exe" or something very similiar to that (Note to self: get a better memory or write things down! ><)

After that I get stuck at bootloader and have to reflash OEM.

Any idea what's going on here? I assume I'm missing some idiotic detail...I feel like I've got this process all processed mentally and that's always where dumb mistakes are made :P

I suspect the error your referring to might be 'cannot execute replog.exe'

What about Wizard Love, have you tried flashing this rom then using shelltool?

Alot of people advise to flash the rom that your device was shipped with and since you've pretty much exhausted that option I suggest you get some wizard love happening prior to using shelltool again.

Good Luck

I have this same problem when using shelltool on my desktop computer. My simple solution: use my notebook computer. My guess is that something installed on my desktop was stopping shelltool from doing its job. I.E. firewall, anti-virus software, something. I really don't know what it was, it might even have been some kind of virus that I dont have on my laptop due to better virus protection and wlan switch.

My reccomendation, try a different computer if you can before you give up totally or pay to have your device CID unlocked at IMEI-check.com and then you will be able to use RUU method.

Thanks guys, I'll try these two solutions tomorrow as its almost 2am and I have to be up for work in 6 hours ><.

Also funny thing is, I got so annoyed that I almost just rocked the damn pay service to get unlocked, but as I was checking out I saw that they had this drawn out process where you had to send them personal info (drivers license?!) to verify your paypal isn't stolen. Isn't that like, the ####ing point of paypal to begin with!? I'm not sending scans of I.D.'s so some shady cell phone hacking website!

I hear that. Thats just asking for your identity to be stolen...
