Did I Brick My 8125???

How do I delete this post?!
* UPDATE: Either I'm just really tired or I am going blind. I fixed my problem, but now I cant seem to be able to find a way to delete this post...
I got my Cingular 8125 about a week ago, it's been a dream! I LOVE THIS THING!
Tonight I decided to update the ROM. I got it with 1.8 or something really old like that so I thought updating would be a good idea. I went to the HTC site an downloaded the latest ROM (2.25).
As I am a mac user, I fired up the old PC and updated. But before I did, I installed SPB Backup on the 8125 and backed everything up to my miniSD. Update went fine. Worked like a charm. I went to restore my files and thats where it all went to hell!!!
I made the mistake of restoring ALL of my files and settings. It seemed fine when it was done. the 8125 asked for my password, and as I finished typing it in, the 8125 rebooted without notice. The Cingular screen came up, loaded fine. Then the Windows Pocket PC screen came up and then the top bar with icons came up. That was it. Now it just sits there, nothing else loads. I can put it on stand by. But nothing else happens. No today screen, no phone, no signal, nothing.
I tried to connect it back to my PC but ActiveSync cant mount it. I tried the Wizard ROM update installer, but it said that the device couldn't be found. I tried connecting it to my Mac with Missing Sync. It asked for a password, which it has never done before (which seemed promising) but after I typed it in, again, no device was found.
Now the poor thing is just sitting there on my desk
Is there anything I can do to get it up and running again? Is there a way I can get one of my machines to recognize it and wipe it clean so I can start fresh???
Please help! I bought this phone refurbished, so I dont know if I will be able to get it replaced. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Was this device CID unlocked? Did you try going to the bootloader mode (Hold camera down and press reset while holding camera button, rainbow screen should appear) and then flashing it with your desire ROM?
If it still don't work, you might need an SD backup image of a rom. I've been trying to look for one but the only think I found is an image of a dutch language ROM. If I do get one I'll give you a PM.

Hey thanks Clem! I did solve my problem, but now I have a new one. I HATE 2.25!!!
So if you do get your hands on an older ROM, I would be forever greatful!
Thanks for responding!

Here is the link for the 1.8 Cingular ROM
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe
I hope this works for you.
You think you can save that 2.25 image to your SD card coz I've been looking for an SD image this is ths instructions...that is if you don't mind.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/How_to_DumpROM.txt

New HTC Trinity issues

Got my Trinity in the mail today and started the process of pimping it up to xda-developers' standards.
1. Ran SSPL-TRIN.exe without problems from "HTC Trinity SIM & CID Unlock - v1")
2. Ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Dialog on PC said upgrade was successful, but screen was black on device
3. Soft reset device. Windows Mobile (green screen) shows, but never goes away. Repeated this procedure 3 times (waited over 5 min each time)
4. Hard reset device. HTC logo shows with numbers "M 05, B 05, D 1.16" showing for 5 seconds. The text "No GSM" appears for 1 second and disappears with the numbers. Only the HTC logo on white is on the screen, forever.
Any ideas? Would hate to have bricked my phone after only a couple of hours.

I can get into the three color screen. I attempted to run ROMUpdateUtility, as I wrote before, again, but I get an error message on the PC saying that the ROM is corrupted, after which my device resets. (To HTC screen, forever, like I wrote above)

Sounds like a bricked device already.
There is a lot of information on this problem in the Hermes Wiki and forum. You may find some useful information there to help unbrick.
Sorry mate.
S.K.

Is there a way I can obtain a rom that will be accepted by my bootloader? I checked on the FTP, but there's nothing there (anymore?)
If so, perhaps I could flash over to a standard one, then start over.

Check the Wiki, you will find links to some standard ROMs.

Chek here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades

Will try them all now. Results with all roms thus far have been:
Progress bar on both PC and phone moves to 1%, then:
a) Phone reboots & PC displays error "invalid vender ID" or b) Phone reboots & PC displays error about image being corrupt

Good news!
I went to a HTC service center where I live (Oslo, Norway). They said they could fix it in 15 min. (flash the device with an original ROM using more advanced equipment than a USB cable)
After about 10 min. the guy comes back with the phone, which now has the exact same screen I was stuck on and concludes that the motherboard is broken. I told them how I had only owned the phone for a day and they offered to replace the motherboard for free (took a few hours).
Once I got back home with the repaired phone, I was pretty nervous about flashing it again, but everything went perfectly.

Congrats friend... let me tell you that you got balls to re-flash your new device after the repair .

Can you tell us exactly what ROM you used to update and is your Trinity HTC made ?

Always flash from the SD card!

Actually, I'd suggest adding to the Wiki that any flash should always be done directly from the SD card (as per instructions in the wiki) to avoid PC/USB problems. After bricking my Hermes because of a USB comm problem, I always flash from the card directly. Much faster and safer.

Think I have killed my dad's phone !! HELP

Was updating my dads SPV M700 to WM6 and have hit a problem ....
The rom image updated ok, and I used AX3L's 2.0.8.
Unfortunately during the GSM update the software crashed, and froze at 51%. I had to re-boot and now I can't use the phone.
When I re-set the phone it says No GSM at the HTC screen and then stops loading at the WM6 front page.
I can get into the Bootloader by pressing the Power/Camera/Reset buttons, but when I try to re-flash GSM is says error 270, corrupt image. I have tried several files with no luck.
I would appreciate a hand ..... My dad is going to kill me
Thanks
gaz_az

try press
power button + camera + reset
to enter usb mode
then reflash the radio again.
hope this works

You can try 2 other things!
Download the Radio ROM again- you may have had a downlaod glitch in the 1st one. V1.38 is the best one to try.
Download and install the offical HTC WM5 ROM- this should be a full ROM including Radio, so sometimes completes more effectively. If you are brave, you can them retry the WM6 flash!

since bricking a hermes i stopped taking chances doing rom upgrades via usb..
the method that is most reliable ad safe is... via SD card
extract RUU_signed file from the upgrade pack (use winrar) and then copy it to the root of a blank sd (mini or micro etc) and rename to TRINIMG.nbh ..enter bootloader and follow the steps.. its fast and most reliable

Ok - Thanks for the help, but no luck so far. I have tried the suggestions above !
Heres what I have done ...
Hard reset - no change
Tried to re-flash with WM6 and WM5 cooked roms, but an error comes up saying the images are corrupt. This happens with any image I try.
I have also tried a legit HTC WM5 rom upgrade image, but it doesn't work either. It gives an error at 1% saying invalid device ID.
What I can do it get into the standard bootloader screen, which shows I have a USB connection when plugged in. If I allow the phone to boot up it stops at the WM6.0 picture. It won't go far enough to allow me to get an activesync connection.
ANy more adivice would be greatly appreciated !

Next thing then, is to try and obtain a downloaded Orange M700 ROM- there are a few links hereabouts.
For some reason, your device seems to want only its home ROM. If that fails there are other methods before sending back to Orange!

I downloaded an Orange rom, but still no luck. It gets to 1% again, then says there is a error/corrupt image file. Same as any of other cooked images !
What next ??

well if you were my son, i would advice you,to buy a plane ticket for somewhere very far,leave the house while i sleep,and pray every day you have left in your life,for not find you on my way

uhm, question about boot loader and flash on boot loader mode.
I copy file TRINIMG.nbh to root card mini SD, and i can't go as you say...
always Tri colors screen....

You are running out of options
Your choices now are to go further down the 'fiddling' route, or give up and return the phone to Orange for repair. At least if its is stuck in bootloader, they may not spot that you have been meddling
If you want to play more, there are very few Trinity specific fixes, but possibly some of the questions/answers in the Hermes WiKi may help, though the Bootloader versions etc won't be relevant.
[Edit: When you are in Bootloader mode, what version numbers are showing on the screen?]

is it so wrong i was smiling when i read this.
does make me wonder if u told ur dad what u were going to do or whether u were trying to be cocky by giving him a better phone without him knowing.
all i can say is, UNLUCKY !

I must say things are looking bad - I think it would take an original orange SPV rom if I could get one. Been to the orange website, but no luck !! Anyone know if orange released one ??
Been looking at the Hermes unbrick thread. Is there a way to enter KITL debug mode in the trinity ??
G
P.S. Dad knew I was upgrading the phone, already did it once for him and it went ok. No sure he knew I could acutually kill it

No Orange haven't released an official rom.
Well Orange UK haven't Orange FR have, so unless he speaks and reads french that's not an option.

Well, French or not, you've probably got nothing to lose by trying to load the official French ROM
Go Here and click the Mise-a-jour link (which is French for ROM) and it will open a zip file download without the need to verify the IMEI number.
If that doesn't work, nothing will! If it does load, you will at least have a working phone, even if it is in French, and you can go back over the ROM update again, remembering to apply the SPL Bootloader first!

Still "not allow", i don't know what the hell Orange was doing with P3600?
Lock everything?........it's suck !!!

No luck with the French ROM. Same thing gives an error message about wrong device ID.
I am one step from chucking it in the bin. Any more last minute ideas ??

erh, bizzard,i can't use "wtty.exe" to view my CID ...
i tape "info 2"and it always appear
Cmd>info 2
CID: Wait interpreter timeout
HTCSF kEØ(HTCE
Cmd>
...............................
Someone have issue for that?
If i can view CID code,i think i can find the right ROM to re-vivre...all suck !!!

erh, hey guy, your boot loader is english or french? sorry if it's the most stupid question of the day......i think french device use french boot loader,right?
i mean, when screen tri-color appear, use mini SD card to flash ROM, the language it apprear itself is english or french.
p/s : i was telephone to the HTC center, and they say as usual, send it to the center repair.
For french user address is : be sure u have enough garanty which required.
send them and make them crazy.....

[SOLVED] Noob needs help! Is my qtek9100 a brick?

Hi!
this is my first post here, so sorry for my bad english or mistakes
i bought a qtek 9100 on ebay, and i'm wondering if it's a brick or not. i received the device 3 days ago. during this time i read through a LOT of threads here, tried a few things and nothing works.
here is some info:
- the phone is a qtek 9100 without branding
- the IPL is now 1.01 (i flashed "CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE" successfully)
- the SPL is 2.18 (because of the missing suffix ".0001" i guess it's a G3)
- GSM is 01.12.10
- OS is 1.5.4.2
- when i start the device (without any button pressed) it stops at the splash screen (which was a qtek logo before flashing, and is now this picture with a beer, that says "some things last forever" )
- i can get into bootloader screen (color screen) by holding camera button while starting
- in bootloader screen a small "USB" appears when i connect cable to usb on pc
- when i press communicate and voice buttons (on the sides) while starting, the "Press send to restore factory default" screen appears, but pressing send prints out "Format FAT Partition Format is Failed"
- the device gets recognized by windows ("Mobile Device" appears on my computer)
- ActiveSync 4.5 does not connect to device, not even as guest.
- when i hit "Connect..." in ActiveSync's connection settings, nothing is found
("Allow USB Connections" is ON)
- the device is CID-locked ("FF" state in Mtty 1.42)
- i can't unlock CID, because i can't get "EnableRapi.cab" onto the device without ActiveSync connection
Ok, these are basically the things i know now. The problem is that i never saw any other screen then the "HTC" boot screen, the "Qtek" splash logo (the one with the clouds) before i flashed with custom ruu wwe, after that i see the new splash logo, and i can get into bootloader (color) screen. I never saw any windows mobile running on this device! I could never establish a connection with ActiveSync!
So i hope that someone here on this nice forum can help me get this device to work (WM5 would even be enough right now) or at least give me a hint!
Thanks in advance!

Put the phone in bootloader mode and flash back to the original ROM.

since i bought it in ebay i don't have the original rom of this device.
but i found "233309-qtek9100_2180707_21807109_20710_qtek_ger_ship.exe" through google, which seems to be an original qtek rom (version 2.18). shall i flash this one?

You can find in the Wiki the latest official roms of every brand for our Wizards .-

ok, thanks.
i found one (Qtek GER 2.18.7) and flashed it. the process was successfull, now the IPL/SPL is both 2.18 . But the device still doesn't start and stops at the splash screen (which is now the original qtek splash again). I can still get into bootloader mode and hard reset results in "Format is failed"! No ActiveSync connection either... how should i proceed now?

i basically narrowed it down to these two problems:
- the splash screen freezes
- hard reset error "Format is failed"
( IPL: 2.18, SPL: 2.18 )
can't anybody help please?
i'm freaking out about this

With everything i’ve read the only people who’ve had any success had CID unlocked devices.

ok, i think that too for what i've read so far...
is there any other way of CID unlocking except lokiwiz (can't copy enablerapi.cab without activesync!)?
would this imei-check service that i've read about work in this case?
meanwhile i've also tried something with mtty (r2sd all) but doesn't work -> "didn't get proper security level"
is this also because of the CID lock? i tried to find out the right password to enter in mtty, but found nothing that worked...
does anybody know the correct password?

I couldent CID unluck my 9100 with lokiwiz so i did it 5min ago with Wizard Service Tool (ha to reboot my computer).

I'm having the exact same problem,
except I can't flash any other ROMS so I'm stuck looking at this incredibly frustrating beer picture, with "some things last forever".
Does anyone have any further ideas?

Look up the orignal rom on the wiki, get into bootloader. And flash it back.

- when I tryed to format.. = "Format FAT Partition Format is Failed"
Any idea?
I have tried this : http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=332143

Could you help me, please?

i'm still stuck with the same problem with hang up on qtek splash screen, too!

I used this to fix this problem
Hi i had the same problem the other week, installed a dodgy app, went to do a hard reset and wouldn't do a hard reset format failed. Tried updating rom everything worked ok until you booted it up. Wouldn't go past second splash sreen. After a few hours of trawling round i found this thread.

Problem in connecting to my PC
Hey ,
I just bought a qtek 9100 a day before ... I tried to connect it with my computer.. instead of connecting my battery gets charging well can u plz help me out !
is there any software that i should install in my pc in order to get it connected to my PC...... please help me fast ! Lot of work is pending !
Thanks
Salman

Ok guys, I finally have this SOLVED.
My QTEK 9100 is working fine now!!!
I'm so happy with it right now
Since nothing I tried worked, I went to imei-check.co.uk and got my phone completly unlocked! It only cost me about 11€ and since it works now I have to admit that it was worth it (no advertising). After the unlocking was done I could do the "r2sd all"-method (Tool: MTTY 1.42) using a miniSD card. You can find a good tutorial on this board somewhere. After that everything was just fine...
-> I never saw it working and Hell Yeah: This baby just kicks a$$ !!! (although it's kinda 'oldschool' these days )

T5355 stuck on "TOUCH Diamond2" screen

Hi guys!
I have been trying everything that I could find on XDA to fix my problem.
I got this HTC clone a few weeks ago, and it was working fine.
I decided to install a UI on it and it worked fine. After a while I got bored of the UI, so I decided to uninstall it. After the uninstall, the device indicated that it needed to be restarted. I did that, but after it rebooted, it started to reinstall Windows Mobile 6.1. I was annoyed by this, but was like, whatever, and let it continue.
Where the real problem started was when the device froze up (I left it alone for over an hour, but there was no change).
I then had to pull the battery. After I put the battery back into the T5355 it just keeps getting stuck on the "TOUCH Diamond2" screen.
I tried all the hard reset and soft reset tricks I could find and have no been able to either setting it back to factory or bootloader mode.
I was able to find a post that described how to place the boo.ini, flash.bin, and loader.bin file onto my micro sd card. I was able to to get the boot.ini an flash.bin files, but can't seem to find a loader.bin file (it that the actual OS rom?). I then found a post that showed how to use HiSilicon IDT to force the install of the OS Bin file (C02_HTC_20091102_R2127_英全视角B包.bin).
I followed the instructions on placing the T5355 into "Download" mode and pushing the OS bin fine to it.
I am able get the IDT software to detect the T5355 and start pushing the install, but the damned thing ends up giving an XLDR error.
PLEASE! PLEASE! Somebody help me! This phone is brand new and really want to get it working again.
Model: HTC(?) T5355

Please help me someone!!
Is there anyone out there that can help me???
I am so frustrated and can think of what else to do!
The biggest problem I have is that I can't use ActiveSync. If I could use that I wouldn't have much trouble.
Does anyone know how to use HiSilicon's IDT properly? The instructions I was working off of are in Russian. I think that a need a loader.bin file for the T5355 that I can put on my micro sd card...or maybe not...I don't know.
I just really want to get this device back to factory settings.
Please someone take pity on me!!!

enter bootloader [those orizontal strange colors]
try flashing a new rom. you may search and download the original 6.5 build from HTC
to enter bootloader, press "volume down + shutdown button" and then flash the rom
ATENTION: plug the USB cable, wait a few seconds, you should see USB on the lowest white color, then do the flashing job

I don't think you would be experiencing these problems with an original topaz

Please take care this is a HTC CLONE

DalvuS, thanks for the reply, but the issue is that I can't seem to get into bootloader mode . I wish I could. The T5355 seems to be stuck in the middle of wm 6.1 install. I need to somehow wipe the install and be able to push a reinstall back to the device.

Exca that comment doesn't help me. It just makes me more sad. I was gipped when I bought the phone . I thought I paid for a "real" Diamond 2.

If you can't to catch the bootmode, looks like hardware problem.
You can't to repair it at home, imho. Try the specialized service.

Hello people, how can i dump my rom from my phone (mfu w71) for backup, because i cannot find any rom in english only in chinese. I started to dump the chinese rom with some chinese kitchen (K3系列ROM工具), but i'm stuck. I do not know to do anymore i have extracted ROM, SYS folder. I think it would be good to start another section on this forum for the chinese phones.
Some help from experienced cookers would me be much apreciated.

My T5355 is up and working!!!
Thanks to everyone who replied to my post!!!
I discovered that the problem was that the PC I was attempting the install from was running an AMD based processor.
I tried on the family laptop (which runs an Intel processor) and the install worked!
I AM SOOOO HAPPY!!!
b0gdi good luck with your issue. Try doing a search here in XDA for "dump my phone".

nothing[switched off] -> press start -> command -> bootloader -> bootloader commands -> system start -> play
checking one by one by interfering would have done the trick
I'm glad to hear that... so now you're ok
NEXT !
