If it is really G4, then you have a brick.

not exactly true !
you can download the softspl software which is on this forum,
who is your service provider vodafone, orange etc... ? which country
as you can reflash your ipl/spl back to the original carriers version with this software !

look at this post, it tell you all you need to know in the 1st couple of posts and all files are there...

starkwong is absolutely right,if its a G4 ,flashing 3.08 will definitely brick the phone.

bleep
SoftSPL doesn't reflash back the original official ipl/spl of the carrier,it just only flashes the patched ipl/spl to the phone temporarily to trick the phone in thinking its CID unlocked.Do not misguide the newbies.

Are you sure its a G4 ?what was the original ipl/spl of the phone,before upgrading to 3.08, what is the present status of the phone,does it load up to any OS or is it stuck at bootloaders(tricolor screen) or is it completely dead,non responsive ?

I flashed my G4 with ipl 3.08 but on that post i linked too there are the original ipl/spl files for most carriers and then you put that .nbf in the same directory as softspl (as you would when doing a rom flash) and he presto my ipl/spl is now back to original !
So im talking from my own expereince !

Download the WST 4.2.2 tool ,run it and post the report it generates here.

WST 4.2.2 tool not work on IPL/SPL 3.08 G4 :(

[starkwong]

Post the exact version strings when your are in tri-color screen (If you really flashed G3 SPL to G4, the device should not be able to boot and stays on tri-color screen, which you are not able to use WST).

If IPL is 2.2x.0001 and SPL is 3.08, then it is definitely a brick. If IPL is 3.08 (or 3.08.0000) and SPL is 3.08 (or 3.08.0000), then you misunderstand it, it is a G3 not G4.

I have a G4 and accidently flashed wizard love which gave me ipl 1.01 instead of 1.01.XXX. I used SoftSPL-V0.1 to update my ipl back to 2.01.XXX but I still can't flash any rom

did you try to flash it with a "No Vendor ID" Flasher?
