Anyone know how to reflash with MTTY?

Guys
Can anyone of you geniuses help me?
I flashed my T-Mo MDA to 2.24 and it went horribly wrong. So I tried to restore my backed up SD image using Wizbackup which isn't "allowed". The net result is that I have IPL/SPL at version 1.01 and OS at 2.24.
But the phone will only go into bootloader and Activesync doesn't work.
I can connect through MTTY - but the "L" command gets refused.
Is this my bootloader preventing me from doing anything? How can I change it through MTTY (which seems to be my only method of communication)
Please help! The phone is a brick now.

If you can get to the bootloader you're going to be just fine.
Get to the bootloader screen, connect your device, then run a 1.X version RUU installer. If you connect your device while in the 3 color bootloader screen there's no need to establish an activesync connection (which just gets killed anyway when flashing)
That will get you back to a working condition with a ROM that can be CID unlocked. (if you haven't already unlocked)
Then you should be able to flash to whichever 2.x ROM your little heart desires.
Here's a link to a 1.x Cingular ROM:

Post here how you gitalong.

Partial success
OK
This is getting better...
I managed to recover the MDA by loading the Cingular ROM.
But I get Simlock and "Data crashes. Please contact your service center"
I've tried loading other T-Mobile USA versions to match my SIM card, but I can't get past this.
I also tried the SIM unlock applications, but none seem to clear this error.
What should I do now?
Thanks

If you've gotten the "data crashes" error you're likely going to need to pay $40 to the boys at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ to get the phone properly SIM and CID unlocked.
Once that's done, you can flash any ROM you'd like to it.

Worked!
You were right - it worked.
I paid the $40 for the IMEI unlock and everything is now working again.
I'm not sure why this couldn't be corrected another way - but phew!
Thanks for all the help. Greatly appreciated.

please get a newer update utility tool,what does it mean?

hello,
i get a message while trying to upgrade my wizard,and it says "please get a newer update utility tool",what does it mean,and how do i bypass it so i can install any rom i want.
thank you

give us some info....
like, what rom are you trying to flash?
Do you have a G3 or G4?
are you CID unlocked? (NOT THE SAME AS SIM UNLOCKED)
What rom are you flashing from?
What are your IPL/SPL, GSM, and OS versions?
What is the exact message and at what point do you get it?

i have a g4 phone,i do not know if it is cid locked or unlocked,i know that i used a few roms in the past from molski.biz. now i have a ipl/spl=2.17.0001 os=2.26.10.2. I try to update the rom,the mobile reboots,i get an rainbow screen,and then in windows it givs me the error message. i am trying to flash wm6 most beutifull,but i will settle with any wm6 rom.
The rom i have now in the wizard is
RUU_Molski.Biz_Faria_AKU3.2-3000_3000_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2-G4

Try flashing the T-Mobile 2.26 rom then upgrading to a custom rom of your choice.

Since this is a g4 phone, unless you have paid IMEI Check to unlock it, its CID Locked (no other way around that at this time)... I would suggest you download the Wizard Love ROM and flash that one. You can search on here for links to it or grab it via PirateBay.
Good luck.

Bricked?

I just tried using ShellTool to install the flash Xplore onto my phone, it's a G4, CID locked. But, when ShellTool reported that it was done, I went to unplug my phone and hard reset it, but I accidentally held one wrong button, and put it into bootloader mode. Then, I realized what I had done, then hard restarted it the right way, and now all that comes up is the initial boot screen, with the new OS listed as 10.2.0.8, but it just stays there.
What do you think?

i think if you can get your wizard into bootloader then you dont have a brick. Please try to put your phone into bootloader mode then flash wizard love or your carriers rom. Then you can attempt shell tool again

Doesn't the phone have to be CID unlocked to flash the Love ROM with RUU? I have Wizard Love 2.26 10.2 WWE Novii CF2, will that work with my G4 device since it is CID locked?

My device is cid-locked G4 and wizard love worked fine flashing from RUU, so did my carriers rom.

Os 2.26.10.2
I need to get this fixed asap as this is my only phone. Please help!!!!

Turn into bootloader and up Official ROM.
Try it if your wizard is T-Mobile Variop.

Also make sure your Storage card is removed before you flash.
Is your phone CID unlocked?

I had a molski rom working on it before i just wanted to update cause alot of things stopped working. I use cingular service so i cant use the tmobile rom. I have installed the tmobile rom so i know it will take a rom. Im just having a hard time getting anything new to work. the CID was unlocked at one time will that change when i tried to upgrade or reinstalled the tmobile rom?

No, you should not have to unlock it again, unless you burned the button 1.05 rom again. Then you have to unlock it again.

so which rom which i try? Its a T-mobile MDA G3 and im using it for cingular service?

version?

Hi all, I'm a newbie. I did research but still couldn't find an answer, hope some experts can help me out. Thank you so much.
I'm trying to flash my 8125 and the software asked me for the SPL version of bootloader. Anybody know how can I find out the bootloader SPL version for my phone 8125 (or Pocket PC in general) any help would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance.

what rom is currently in it? is it stock? for instance, my MDA from tmo now has a stock rom (long, depressing story, don't ask) and the ipl/spl if memory serves correctly is 2.26
It shows on your initial boot screen in red letters (at least my tmo rom is in red). I'm NOT sure if the bootloader should have a seperate number but if not...simply soft reset your phone and as it boots look at the first screen to pop up and write down those numbers.
Wish I could help you more.

Another easy way is to get WST (check my signature) and read the "Device Info" as it will tell you what Bootloaders you have, the Gx type and much more

what sw asks for the bootloader version before flashing?

what software your talking about,with which you are trying to flash your device ?
windows mobile OS are packed into a package called 'Roms',which have the OS,OEM drivers,extended rom(contains applications) and Romupdateutility (RUU)which flashes the OS to the device,.When flashing it won't ask for any SPL version,but if the rom is a stock rom (official rom) with a higher Os version than already installed,will flash automatically without any verification of os ipl/spl.or if older than the present rom will not flash and stops with an Error code and it's explanation.
If you are trying to flash a non official custom build rom on a locked device it will also stop flashing with an Error code,or sometimes it seems it has flashed and ruu confirms on the pc 'Congratulations you have successfully upgraded'but when it reboots the previus OS loads up.But to flash a custom build ron,it's mandatory to have your phone CID unlocked,custom roms cannot be flashed to a cid locked devices.
SO,what are you using and what ERROR CODE it displays ?
Secondly, IPL/SPL versions are displayed when you power on or reboot the device on the initial first splash screen in red at the top of the screen.
OR as already suggested by mestrini download WST tool and run to check IPL/SPL and all other info about your device.
IPl/SPL are infect called the 'Bootloaders'
