8125 Won't boot past the start screen - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Any ideas? i get the cingular splash screen... gives me this info
IPL 1.08
SPL 1.08
GSM 01.09.11
OS 1.8.11.1
then it vibrates... then the screen goes dark.. sometimes the screen comes back on.. then goes off again... and that's about all it does...
any ideas? tried soft reset.. (didn't do anything.. durh) attempted hard reset... that also didn't do anything....
any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated...

were u trying to flash rom before this happend? are you able to get into usb mode? if yes try reflasing ROM, get cingular one.

No... it was flashed back to cingular so the phone could be sold by a friend and I thought it worked ok.. at least according to him... however that appears to not be the case... I am able to get into usb mode... I think... that's the multi color screen where it says usb at the bottom left when it's hooked up to my pc....
i'm fairly sure it's cidunlocked.. however i'm not positive...

8125 wont boot past blue cingular screen

Turned it off on the airplane and would not boot pst the blue cingular screen later. I have removed the battery several times, soft reset several times, one hard reset, tried a different battery, left it on the blue screen for an hour, left the battery out for hours nothing.
I left it off and plugged in the charger the orange light came on and changed to green in about an hour.
I downloaded the latest version rom upgrade from the cingular link and was able to get it to connect via the bootloader. It changed the ipl to 2.25, the spl to 2.25 the gsm to 82.25.11 and the os to 2.25.11.1, but still nothing. I repeated the process with plugging in the charger with the battery out and letting it flash the blue cingular screen for about 2 min then starting bootloader, installing battery and connecting to pc and running the ruu. Did not help. I did notice on the RUU screen that says it is changing the os from version (blank) to version 2.25 it may not see installed version if it is truly installed.
I am out of ideas, can someone please help?
Thanks,

Warranty repair? Did you try a hard reset without the usb plugged in?

Hi ddenis,

the whole guide that Dr Puttingham put together!

8125 wont boot
I read theis post and my understanding was that you had to be able to reach active sink to work this fix. I can only get to bootloader which may not be exactly working right. My boot does not go past the cingular screen.
Am I worng?
Thank you for your responce.

Reconnect your 8125 to your PC and in the bootloader does
it say USB in the bottom left? If yes then flash your device
with this Rom: button's 1.05 ROM
ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
After that follow Dr Puttingham's instructions.

oh my...did i brick my phone?

I cant believe this....I had no issues all day upgrading the ROM...until my PC overheated and shut off at 57%...
now when my phone starts up I see the 3 bars and it sais USB in the bottom left...but active sync is not connecting!
help!
what 3 bars?
a Red Blue Green Bars color?..
If that so.. you are too lucky..
I read a little more on the wiki:
Type 2a: When the phone boots, it goes directly to bootloader mode (tri-color screen)
This is what I have right now...I can't seem to get active sync to connect...although at the bottom of the screen it has "USB"
I have tried using mtty and dont think its diong anything...
Just stay in the bootloader (tri-color screen) and make sure the "USB" is shown in your device screen..
The reflash.. even if its not sync/connected.. just reflash the ROM..
Everything will be fine..
wow....i think it may actually work....that was SCARY.
nice to know the good ole button flash works when all others fail
I just want to make a clarification..
You are just flashing your device and when the upgrade process is on 57% your computer suddenly shutoff? and the upgrade was cut..
What happened next? did you reset the device then went to tri-color screen? or you just force bootloader mode it?
Yeah pretty much exactly what you said. I literally got up for a second to get some water, came back and saw the telltale sign that my pc had just shut itself off (the screen was black except for the standard boot junk that shows up).
So I look at my device (8125) and it was locked at 57% and was not responsive. I figured that the flash util probably wouldn't continue after the computer started back up (and besides, the device wasn't alive anymore) so I rolled the dice and unplugged the USB and took out the battery. When I put the battery back in and hit the power button, it went straight to the bootloader (the tri color screen).
- By the way - ive got the button image on here now - workin like a champ...
tnx for the explanation..
have fun!!..
thanks for the quick reply - i thought i was completely stuck but the button flash seemed to take care of everything. Makes me almost think that bricking this thing is near impossible... >
Yup!.. that also my conclusion.. its impossible to brick.. thats why i ask for your clarification..
What is this "button flash"? I am stuck in RGB boot mode with no activesync connection. I have read til my eyes crossed, but can not fix my 8125 (G3)!
Please advise.
How about more information? On your bootloader (Rainbow screen) what does it show the IPL / SPL to be? What were you trying to do when you got into this situation? What happened when you were flashing? Is your device a G3 or G4?
Safest thing for you to do right now is to flash your carrier's rom onto the phone (an official shipped ROM). With your phone in the bootload, just run the ROM and it will install (DO NOT RUN A CUSTOM ROM AT THIS POINT SINCE YOU HAVEN"T TOLD US ANY OTHER INFORMATION).
G3 8125
ipl/spl 2.25
Was trying to use faria's latest rom...got stuck at 99% for almost one hour, so I rebooted computer and discon'd the wizard. Now it will boot to rainbow screen and will not connect via activesync (so I can't utilize any other roms to get back to square one).
ActiveSync will NOT connect when you are at the boot loader. As long as you see USB in the bottom left of your phone (above the left soft key) then you can flash your original Cingular ROM and be good to go again.
brick, brick, brick
It happend to me too with faria´s new crossbow rom:
the device freezed at 99% and I reseted it then....nothing happend- bootloader mode: red green blue + usb... but no chance to flash ANYTHING... always the same message:ERROR (260) update error, no connection to the device...???
I tried the O2-mini s update, and the faria rom, no chance just a brick
I need help....

Why did you reset it??? All roms freeze. The screen that is flashing the ROM even says it can take up to 10 mins. If you don't get an error onthe PC then DON'T stop the flashing process.
Go get a copy of your carrier's official ROM (not a custom one, but an official one from your carrier.). Then with the phone at the boot loader (Rainbow screen) and the USB cord plugged, in, run the official ROM. If that doesn't work, then get a copy of the Wizard Love rom and flash it (You'll need to find links around here for it, or pull it via PirateBay). You may also want to reboot the PC you are running on and remove your SD card (if you have one) just to remove variables that can play in to all of this.
Good luck

Ten minutes is understandable, but mine stalled for about an hour at the 99% mark. Even my PC would not respond. Is that normal for a rom upgrade?

I was finally able to reset my 8125 to the Cingular ROM. Not sure why I couldn't do it on my PC, but after moving over to my wife's PC I did not have any problems.
Thanks!

No, that sounds like your pc locked up or something (I'd blame windows on that one )

Sorry, I may be missing your humor or sarcasm... Are you saying its dead (if so, give more details about what it does or doesn't do, IPL/SPL it shows (if it turns on), etc... If its now working, then congrats!

stuck on a white screen

hello folks....
first: sorry for my bad english...
second: i've got a LITTLE problem:
last nite i've tried to flash a new rom on my wizard...
it wasn't the first time.. but... the second!!
something goes wrong...
during the upgrade, windows crashed (blue page), now, if i press the power button, lights come up and its stuck for at least two hours on a white screen..
then, come up the splash screen where are wrote IPL, SPL, ecc...
i write them down:
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.Olip
GSM 02.07.10
OS 10.1.0.811 (isn't bad???)
now, the fone stuck forever...
i can't enter in the bootloader so i can't flash it again whit a RUU..
but, the strangest thing... is: the splash screen is from the old rom...
any suggestion??
ah... the rom is this:
XM6r5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355591
how can i fix it? yes... i know... i messed up....
thanx for your answers... even if i can't recover!
If it displays IPL/SPL,then its in Bootloaders,you can flash it in bootloaders.take out the battery for awhile say 30-60 minutes and put it back and try to get into bootloaders and flash the rom.
As its already HardSPL,there shudn't be any problem,just a bad flash due to pc crash.
ok... did it... now, wm starts... but, not everytime.... most of time, it stuck on the famous white screen...
the OS still 10.1.0.811.. i think that is not normal...
how can i "flashback" evreything? i mean... which rom do i use, to have a good base to flash some other rom? my device is a G4.. so, the "love" rom is ok?
EDIT:
i flashed the "wizard_love" rom.. not any problem...till, i've rebooted... white screen again... but when i pressed the power button, it rang like when it seys you "u gonna lose some data" (or something like that)...
SO... Is the screen F******(gone)?
hmmm,perhaps the LCD is a gonner,digitizer or the flexi-cable is creating problems.If you know something about disassembling the device,check if the flexi-cable is properely fixed,otherwise,take it to some repair shop.
simulat problem

[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.

But... the problem is the same.
when I started the device (without any button pressed) it stops at the splash screen (which has a qtek logo before flashing)
- i can get into bootloader screen (color screen) by holding camera button while starting, I installed the original and others rom who days before works perfectly... Now... this stopped at splash screen
- 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
but... without success.
Could you help me, please?

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 )

Cingular 8125 locking up at Windows Mobile splash screen

I have a Cingular 8125 phone that is unlocked to any carrier.
The device starts up at the Cingular splash screen, then goes onto the WM splash screen where it stays. When at the WM splash screen, I can charge the phone until the charge LED changes from Amber to Green. I can press any of the keys and the key backlighting comes on.
Does anyone know what might be causing the lockup?
I can go into Bootloader mode.
I've tried the hard reset, message saying Format FAT partition. Format Complete!. Still doesnt work.
IPL is 2.25
SPL is 2.25
GSM is 02.25.11
OS is 2.25.11.1
I've tried doing a SD backup and restore. Still doesnt work.
Could it be that the original ROM be corrupt ? However, when doing the SD backup/restore, the checksum is checked. Didnt come up with any errors.
I really dont want to send the phone back to the US from the UK to get this fixed.
The HTC guys said it might be something in the registry that is stopping it booting. However, I thought the registry is wiped upon a hard reset
Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
Chris
