So, I have updated my ROM many a time, and was updating my qtek wizard with the 2.17 WWE rom, at 3% through, my PC does a Blue Screen of death... Now my wizard is just locked at the Color Bar screen saying IPL 2.17 and SPL 2.17.
DID I KILL IT?

No you didn't kill it. =)
Take the battery out, and put it back in.
Hold down the Camera button while pressing the power button
You should be back to the three color bar screen
Connect to your PC using the USB cable
Run ROM upgrade
That should fix it. Make sure you don't have anything running on your PC during the upgrade. The only time I've ever bluescreened during a ROM upgrade is when I was playing MP3s in the background.

I have one of the early Cingular 8125s with version 1.08 IPL/SPL and was trying to upgrade using summiter's latest 2.3 using his multi installer +CF2.
Pre-upgrade phone info
SPL: 1.08
IPL: 1.08
ROM 1.8.xxx (Can't remember the rest)
CID unlocked using lokiwiz (Done again just before upgrading)
SIM unlocked using lokiwiz (Done only when I first got the phone)
I originally selected the first option in the installer, which would have also upgraded my bootloader. This ended up just getting me into the RGB bootloader screen and failing, after which I would just remove the battery and reset.
I selected option 2 to update without changing the BL, and the installation seemed to run fine...until I tried to turn it on again after the flash.
Booting past the first cingular splash screen took longer than normal. Although it showed the 2.24 OS, I did not see any line stated the GSM version, only IPL, SPL and OS. Is that bad?
When I got into windows it was super slow and navigating was a chore. I rebooted, and the phone didn't turn back on! Read the forums a bit, I guess it can suck up more juice than expected during flashing, so I charged for a few hours....now I can boot up, but with the below issues.
1. I don't have a phone connection. Even in the new comm manager, I click on the phone setting, but it doesn't connect. The antenna up at the top has an exclamation point instead of the bars next to it. I can't get to the keypad screen, and I can't make any phone calls. Did the GSM upgrade possibly not complete? Is is supposed to show up in the splash screen?
2. I can't sync anymore. Nothing happens when I plug the phone in. I am not even sure it draws a charge, since I had it charging over usb for a few hours after upgrading and it didn't seem to charge much. AC power for a few hours did the trick and let me boot up.
3. Since I can't call anyone, its basically a PDA for now. But even the PDA function and general operation of the phone are really really slow. It takes time to drop down the start menu, or change screens. (~30 seconds to push "start") I am able to input personal info and it saves OK even after soft reboot. I have since cleared all info.
4. The battery indicator constantly shows the charging icon, even when unplugged. Battery status shows "Unknown." Phone doesn't know how to turn off after idle time, even though option is checked in settings.
I'm hoping someone here has some advice. Since I can't connect through activesync, it will be hard to make any upgrades. I had read about an miniSD card executable...hopefully that applies here.
Should I try booting into the Bootloader and connecting a USB cable? Holding the camera button and powering on doesn't seem to help.
Anyway, any input would be greatly appreciated guys. If there's any info I need to clarify, let me know.
New progress made
I am able to boot into the boot loader and when I connect by USB, it shows as connected in XP. Can I perform upgrades/downgrades from here?
Any suggestions as to the right path to take to end up with the latest ROM? Maybe I should stick with the Cingular release?
Good news everyone! (lame futurama reference)
I managed to install the cingular formal release once I booted into the bootloader.
In case anyone has this same problem, you hold the camera button down and press the power button. Let go of the power button and the RGB bootloader screen should show up. When connected to USB, you can install these packages.
When I'm gutsy enough again, I'll try summiters latest.

If it is reading your usb in the lower corner you are ok...just re-flash the rom.
***update? custom rom?? cid/sim unlocked??? If you answered NO to cid/sim unlocked, that NEEDS to be done first...if you have a G3 use lokiwiz or wizard service tool AFTER you reflash the stock rom from your provider. Once unlocked you can flash a custom rom. If you have a G4 phone that is a bit trickier. Read in the stickies for HOW TO's***

First of all download official carrier's Rom from it's website,
1. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC and remove the dummy card or SD/MMC card if any
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Don’t use the IrDA or Bluetooth for the Upgrade)
4. when usb appear in the bootloader mode(tri color screen) at the bottom of the screen
5. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.
If you have done the method of unlocking with lokiwiz,than go for the upgrading procedure as per the guide,you must read and correctly follow the whole method,don't skip any step,but if your phone still cid locked,then read and understand the method of unlocking,read the unlocking guide,after that continue with upgrade

Which Windows are you using ? if you are at WinVista it won't work,always use WinXP,secondly do the following :-
1. Disconnect your phone from the usb cable,shut down any firewall,disable any Anti virus,Reboot your PC.
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. On your PC Open windows Task Manager...>Tab Processes...>wescomm.exe...>End process

5. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC via USB cable and remove the dummy Sdcard or mini-Sd card
6. Get your phone into Bootloader mode (Multicolor screen) by pressing camera button + Power on button
7. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Be sure that your battery is charged over 70%)
8. "USB"will appear on the bottom of the screen of the Bootloader (Multicolor screen)
9. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
10.Never use Bluetooth sync for the Upgrade
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.Please be patient when you're flashing your device, even if 98%. It can wait a little bit, 5 ~ 7 minutes.
Don't cancell the flash or get the phone off the usb cable till it confirms "Congratulations" or stops with an Error!!!
Hope it'll work,
Cheers

...fades to white screen upon connection
I have a similar issue...my 8125 Wizard gets stuck on the splash screen. I follow the above procedure to the letter, get into Bootloader, make the USB connection, and then when I try to flash ANY ROM as it starts to connect the screen fades to white and it comes back with Error 274...Connection error! It doesn't matter what ROM I try...Button's 1.05, Love ROM, T-mobile 2.26, or the Cingular 2.25 ROM...the screen fades to white as it starts to connect. Any ideas Doc P?
The splash screen says:
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 2.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
BTW, i've tried the MTTY_updateROM.exe ...miniSD card ...r2sd all approach ...the device is CID locked...
HI Folk
got a problem unlockin' a TILT using the Super CID tool...it doesn't work...gets stuck on first screen...is it the most efficient way available?
NO HSDPA PANEL IN CONNECTIONS TAB on a ATT tilt...but IN there in HTC with WM6 PRO
Does this happen?
1. Make sure you installed HardSPL as follows: power off and then press power on while keeping camera pressed, this will enter the so called bootloader mode and you see a tri-color screen (Red, Green, Blue). You should see "SPL-1.0 OliPof" on the second line in the top left corner. You can exit this mode by means of a "soft reset": press the reset button with the stylus.

do you get SPL-1.0 OliPof?
tried many times...but doesn't work
it gets stuck on white screen...with percentage bar....(doing this via usb) still on SPL 1.56...luckily reboots ok!
well for me everything ran fine except for it never displayed "Security unlocked" at bootloader while running wm6.1. However once i downgraded to wm6 everything worked fine ... see if this helps you

It Was Tough
but after a day & half.....and many tries...had to dig a lot to find solutions
Thanks Everyone
Mod Note: This question should have been posted in the SIMunlocker thread in the ROM Development Forum.
New thread for existing issue is a no-no.
I was following the guide for putting the button rom, and then the loki. all that went ok. The problem was I replaced the nbk file of the ipl/spl 3.08 file with the one from a radio download (radio 27111) and when it flashed now the phone doesn't recognize anything plugged into the usb port. Won't charge or nothing. no lights come on . I tried holding the camera and power button, and then pressiong the reset button, taking both hands off the buttons and then pressing power again and holding it to get in the bootloader multicolor screen, and it doesn't recognzie it either on my pc there. any suggestions?
it still loads the buttons flash rom and goes to the phone itself (old stock windows mobile) and pressing the start button takes like 15 secs to show the drop down start menu.
oh also it still says ipl 1.08 and spl 1.08 in the buttons splash pic....
although i was trying to put that 3.xx one
if anyone has:
tmobile RUU_Prodigy_1081002_108_10910_TMO_US.exe
please send me or give me a link. I tried googling but they all lead to the ftp server here (as we know has no files now on it). Someone said that worked for them. I tried another tmobile official one and it doesn't work. In boot loader (the multicolor screen) when i connect the usb the word usb shows, but the rom program on xp doesn't see it and I get an error 260 update error which says it can't connect to my phone.
Update: I tried the newest official tmobile software from their site and it does nothing. It does show the "usb" at the bottom in bootloader when I connect it, but the tmobile software (or anything) doesn't recognize it and gives a error 260.
When in windows (as it still goes) it shows the unknown battery thing and doesn't show how much battery life is there, along with being real slow. I didn't have a sim card in it ever while doing this but prob has no service either.
eh
50 views and im the only one with that problem ever? no one knows?
correction. it DOES charge.
same problem
hey, Ihave exactly the same problem, any luck finding a cure for this? would like to flash another rom but can't sync, do you know how to flash from SD card maybe that'll help us?

Hello,
Let`s start... maybe this will help you too guys... But first of all i want to know if your phone`s go in bootloader mode... ( just reset with the stylus and then hold just the camera button) and then it goes in the 3 color screen...
Let me know if you`ve got your phone`s in bootloader mode.... Replay as soon as posible... and... did you`ve tried another USB cable?
If you want to charge the phone, get the battery out, put it back, put the charger in, then hold the power button until it starts chargeing... 10-15 seconds max.
And if you get the phone in bootloader mode do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4104858&postcount=3
