Hello All Developers,
It's my 1st time yo post a new thread, well thats because i always found the answer in either the subject or the answers. Yet, for problem in hand, I cant find any thread with it included.
I bought a G3 Wizard, and I fell in love with it, this is not new, i fall in love with all my mobiles and PDAs.
I have a Himalaya too which is much more simple than Wizard regarding upgrading. and here we go
I followed the instructions in the sticky thread titled:
[READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards
I found it very helpful. I followed mainly the FARIA version too, i was reading the 2 threads in parallel to double check my understanding.
it all went great .. till the IPL/SPL upgrade step, i followed my guess that i dont need to go though the 2.26 ROM to update afterwards to 3.08. so i upgraded to 3.08 and all went well.
the next was to upgrade to any WM6.1 versions. and for my sorrow, all of them failed to update.
the failure it self was a piece of art. after the completion of the update taking its 10 mins, it just hard reset my device. no new rom is installed.
my guess was, go back to 1.05 and go to 2.26 instead of 3.08
i did that and found my IPL/SPL changed from 3.08/3.08 to 1.01/3.08 even though the rom is supposed to have both of them equaling 1.05
ignoring this fact "an error i'll regret soon" i tried to upgrade to any WM6.1 ROM and voalla
I BRICKED MY BELOVED WIZARD.
yes thats right, it stuck at 98% and sowed a failure message. allowing me only to follow the recovery steps. and i got this 4 strips screen (i'm counting the white strip too)
any way, after trying with different roms, different uti upgrading file, all reached the point of failure.
so, i kinda lost hope, and removed the batt, the SIM and left the device like this for 4 hours or even more.
i returned from work, and prayed to god to help me. i cant live without my beloved Wizard.
and the only thing i could do was to try to install the button 1.05 rom again. i tried b4 the 4 hours break, and it failed just like the others.
i dont know how but while praying , the mobile continued to flash the rom and booted completely!!!
now, after this story, here is my current status,
IPL/SPL = 1.01/3.08
ROM : button 1.05
additional info: i'm afraid of trying to upgrade to WM6 or WM6.1,may be i get it bricked for life this time!!!!
should i use WST to restore my old IPL/SPL?
what can i do to use WM6 or 6.1?
thanks for taking time to read this thread, i appreciate it
