I recently followed all steps to upgrade my phone wizard a9100 to wm6. It installed w/out problem. But when it boots it is still wm5. I downloaded various wm6 packages and it ends up the same way. I don't know what the problem is. The phone is a generic Qtek phone, not t-mobile or any other. Thankss!
Be sure that the phone is CID unlocked. If it's not and you keep on flashing you might kill the phone or criple it by not booting again into OS.

Thanks

If its CID locked it won't upgrade,first CID unlock the phone.If its a G3 follow this guide :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
But if its G4 read the SoftSPL or HardSPL method in the G4 forum posted as stickies.

Try flashing an official ROM. You really need to give us more information about your phone and what you did to get it "stuck".

Do you have a G3 or G4 device?
Did you read the stickies on unlocking your device?
What did you do to make your device get stuck in bootloader?
What is your current IPL/SPL
Who is your carrier?
Why do you want to flash your device and do you truly need to?
If you have not personally unlocked your device then it most probably IS locked. CID lock is not the same as SIM lock.
*IF* your device is a G3 I suggest flashing the button 1.05 rom and then following the steps in the unlocking sticky. *IF* your device is a G4 reflash your carrier's latest rom and then find the G4 unlocker website link in the G4 section of this forum.
1 my device is G3
2 I do unlock 2 time
3 after I install wm6 I suggest flashing the button 1.05 rom then the device is stop in splash screen
4 now my IPL/SPL 1.01

If you went back to 1.05 from a 2.xx ROM you'll need to unlock it again. (if you have already then...) After 1.05 ROM you need to go to a 2.xx (we suggest the TMobile 2.26 production ROM). After you have done the 2.26, you can then flash a custom WM5 or Faria's WM6 ROM. You can only "upgrade" FROM a 2.xx ROM.

mr demontefixo
I install 1.05 then I unlock CID then my device not logon (it stoped in splash screen)
I try install ROM 2.26 but this not repair my proplem
I think solution if i unlocker my CID from bootloader but Inot have method to do that
thanks
I used lokiwiz02b to unlock? both the SID and CID. The device restarted during both installations like it should have.
I read about how to check if the SID is unlocked by using a SIM card from another network but what about the CID?
Thank for any help.

assuming you already flashed up to a 2.xx carrier rom, you can attempt to flash a different carrier's rom or any 2.xx custom rom here to see if it changes. If it errors out or completes but nothing changes then you are not CID unlocked.
Thank you. Yeah, I followed "How to fllsh a Wizard..." tutorial up to G4.6 assuming it was unlocked. I tried Xplorer 1.1 (originally getting error 300) but then updated the romupdateutility.exe. After the install finished i just had the 3 Color bootloader screen.

woah woah woah... You have a G4... G4's aren't CID Unlocked unless you have paid to have this done from imei-check.co.uk . You also have to be careful (if you don't know this already) what roms you flash. Don't just go and flash another carrier's rom on a G4 or you could (will?) wind up with a brick.
So on a G4, you will either have to pay to get CID Unlocked or you use ShellTool to do upgrades (you have to make sure you remove the IPL/SPL in roms before upgrading).

yeah, you didn't have that signature in your post when I replied originally. You have a G4. be very careful which roms you flash. Flashing IPL/SPL into a G4 will brick it. Lokiwiz won't CID unlock a G4. As MFrazzz has said the only known way to CID unlock a G4 is to pay a website for it (imei-unlockers or something like that.)
I forgot to put this in my post earlier... Please use this to learn to flash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Since we now know you have a G4, just start at G4.1 and have fun (but be careful).

Use my tool (check signature) that has an option to read the CID status...

Is there a hard spl flash for the Wizard? I haven't been spending much time here but the only place I have seen Hard SPL is on the Hermes forums. If this is where you have seen it from you should NOT attempt to flash this to your Wizard they are more different internally than they are externally.

Unfortunately there is no HardSPL nor SSPL for Wizard
When it came out first time i asked the developer to give me hints so that i could try to port it to Wizard and he said there was a team working on that...and that was months ago
So no, G4 devices can't be CID unlocked for free.
hey im new here...
i was wondering i have a cingular 8125 and was wondering if possible to unbrand the cingular logo and stuff on the phone? also how would i go to upgrade the 8125 to windows mobile 6? thanks!

Everything you need to know -- and all the files to do it -- are in this thread. Read every word and go through each step -- without skipping ANYTHING -- and you will be unlocked and ready to flash a WM6 ROM. There are several of those you can choose from here.
forget to mention my phone is already unlocked...im in canada right now so i got it unlocked to use their network services.

your phone may be SIM unlocked but it also needs to be CID unlocked (to put non-cingular roms on phone). heed the advice of the other members on here cause if not, you will brick your phone.
so the first thing i do is cid-unlock before i do anything else?
yup, make sure it is CID unlocked.. there are tools to do it in these forums, or you can pay 40 dollars to www.imei-check.com and do it there.

Before you do anything I suggest figuring out if you have a G3 or a G4 as which type will determine how you can unlock your phone. If you attempt the G3 instructions on a G4 you will most likely brick your phone.
Hi People
I am new to upgrading. Before I get the business of "you have not read the posts" I have read the posts. That's why I am writing here. The more I read, the more contradicting it is. I have the following:
T-Mobile MDA Unlocked SIM
IPL/SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I know this is a G4, but I have read that you can flash a ROM to an locked CID, but other areas say you cannot. I also have seen many different guides to flash, but some say the CID have to be unlocked others don't. I also have not seen whether the original ROM is saved in case you want or need to put it back. I have also read that you may have to input the GSM settings (I use Rogers in Canada). I bought this unit on eBay unlocked and all I had to do was put in my SIM card and it worked. Will the same happen if I upgrade the ROM? I find after reading so many threads it seems so confusing and was hoping someone here could help me out as you all seem to love flashing ROMs.
Thanks so much in advance,
Mike
Read some more and took a chance and it worked

hi,
ok,now let me try to explain in plain words,
1. U cannot for sure upgrade to a newer rom untill u r CID unlocked, now as u say u got ur wizzard from ebay.now it must have come with a pre-installed OS,plz check from which carrier it is from.If its Cid locked than it can only be upgraded with that official rom from which it came pre-installed with. But if u want to upgrade to some other wm6 cooked rom than u'll have to get it Cid unlocked.
now to upgrade,do the following:-
a)If u want to upgrade with official rom from which it came preinstalled,than visit the official site and download the official rom for ur exact device and upgrade without any Cid unlocking process ,its fairly self explanatory,how to upgrade with official rom as it comes with a self upgrade romutility.
b) if u want to upgrade to any other wm6 cooked rom,than i'am afraid u'll have to CID unlock ur device.As u say u have a G4 device there's a different procedure to Cid unlock it than G3.It's done with a utility tool called SHELLTOOL.search and read how to go about it.First download a tool "WST tool" by Mestrini ,install it and check if ur device is Cid locked or unlocked.If u find it locked than adopt the Cid unlock method through SHELL tool,if its already Cid unlocked than go ahead & flash with any wm6 rom.
As for ur question about sim unlocked,its different being from CID unlock.with sim unlocked u can put any carrier sim and use ur device.But with Cid unlock u can upgrade to any rom u desire.
Well, once SIM/CID unlocked it remains unlocked forever,unless u personelly don't lock SIM/CID.
Well,I believe if it came SIM unlocked, than it might be CID unlocked also.cuz all the carriers never give Sim unlocked.but than there might be some exceptions.therefore u must get it confirmed before any upgrade.
Hope I was able to clear some of ur doubts.goodluck

@zabardast_1 dude..
@Miker2006
Upgrading won't affect your Sim unlock status, it's permanent.
You don't NEED to CID unlock your phone to upgrade:
You can use Soft SPL to make the phone temporary think it's CID unlocked (while flashing).
Or you can semi-permanent let the phone think it's CID unlocked by Hard SPL.
This SPL will mimic a CID unlocked state, so you can flash all kinds of ROMs to your device.
BTW ShellTool WON'T cid unlock your device, Hard SPL is the closest you get to a Free CID unlock.
Best regards,
EquinoXe
PS. Read the stickies before Flashing, don't turn your wizard into a brick.
Actually it is a good show case that reading helps .. one day after his post Miker2006 did ..
