thanx waiting for ur replies

It's not a problem of the ROM. I did the exact same thing. It's a problem of the old bootloader with the newer ROM. I finaly got it corrected by going into bootloader mode and updating the ipl/spl to 2.xx. This corrected the problem and
the phone works great with Shogun's rom. Love it.

Here's your step by step anwser
I had installed the same software for a T Mobile MDA for a Cingular Network. The ROM disabled my sync and I was ****ting bricks because I could not update my ROM, nor make calls from my wizard.
step 1. turn off the device by holding down the power button on top of the phone.
Step 2. press the camera button (right hand side) and the power button at the same time to on the device.
Step 3. This puts the device into USB mode, which you will now plug in the USB cable. (the word "USB" will appear on the bottom of the pocket pc screen when it is configured to the computer.) Active Sync will not sync up to the pocket pc (remains grayed out on the computers title bar.)
step 4. download another ROM version. I downloaded cingular 2.26 shotgun (different version from your ROM, but made for cingular devices) FROM HERE ON, DO NOT DISCOUNT YOUR DEVICE FROM THE COMPUTER!!
step 5. Make sure the device is charged more than 50%, then click and run the ROM. Follow the update prompts; and the computer will recognize that the pocket pc is connected to the usb port, but active sync will be grayed out. Allow the software to be installed. remember, do not disconnect, because you could do serious damage to the bios bank chips and never be able to boot.
once it installs the software, you will be relieved to see the NEW ROM on the boot screen and you'll notice everything works beautiful again
YOU CAN NEVER BRICK A WIZARD, just place in it USB MODE and start over. For the intelligent people, backup your information with Active Sync if you dare to experienment with new ROMs.
GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND,
Adam

Wouldn't it be better to release your ROMs without the IPL/SPL then? Would also save you the trouble of having separate G3 and G4 versions--please don't misunderstand me, I appreciate the work you and everyone else on this forum do with no expectation of payment, but it would seem we might all be better off ROM-upgrading without and IPL/SPL, at the very least it might save some noob like naeemwaqas who doesn't know any better...just my suggestion.

here is your answer from me... it has mostly been covered..
YES hold your camera button while powering on to put in bootloader mode
DO NOT FLASH MY ROM.. yet
YES download an official rom so that you can get the updated bootloaders
after that is complete then you can flash my rom...
I DID NOT include updated bootloaders because i didnt want for a noob with a G4 to brick their phone by flashing my rom.. my future releases will be labeled as G3 and G4.. if a noob screws it up from there then its not my fault

but then if their IPL/SPL are of 1.xx versions, their upgrade also won't go so well. If only people would do their research before jumping into such dangerous thing..

You sir, are an idiot! And shouting such nonsense just proves my point. Please run away... and very fast before someone actually believes your bu!!!**** and bricks their device!
You sir got lucky, you obviously don't have a G4 phone, cause I double dog dare you to try such insanity on a G4.
I've flashed more phones than the average guy and I'm STILL careful.
I'm sure that you probably meant no harm but if you noticed, none of the chef's here have stated such BS...

Whoa, easy there samurai! My suggestion was directed at Molski, who as far as I can tell still packages up IPL/SPL in his ROMs unlike you. Thanks for pointing this crucial difference out to those who might not know otherwise.
And again, for Molski, this is just a suggestion--there have been plenty of ROM upgrades with IPL/SPL and the vast majority go fine, just seems like as a community we might want to consider doing things (like ROMs with no IPL/SPL for example) to protect newcomers. Now sure they might deserve it every now and again, and scaring the crap out of them might induce a healthy dose of "read before you leap", but could be avoided for this one situation.

which is why i dont... i may know quite a bit, but im not a master, i dont know it all (dont tell my wife) and dont include ipl/spl for that simple fact.. but can garuantee this guy will read more before experimenting again... its a good scare factor, and a good way to welcome him to the board

Maybe CID Lock problem ? NEED HELP !!!!

Hi, After the soft reset comand, I removed the battery from my Wizard. After that the followin problem was appear: the phone is bringing up to the splash screen and STOP on this position.I have tried to download another Rom but the problem still is the same. My Phone is not CID unlock and before this, I cooked own rom like is writen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043 . So any idea how to wake-up my phone MDA Vario.

Ok forgive me if I'm wrong here, I don't really want to judge before I know the full story, but seems to me your brain went on strike momentarily. First rule of flashing any unofficial rom CID UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE. Anyways sorry, I just wanted to say something so it doesn't happen to you again, that said, what rom did you try to upgrade to? what rom did you try to downgrade to after that? is your device a G3 or G4?
If your device is a G3 I would recommend downgrading to this rom by xelecin
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_Wizard_1081002_108_10910_ENG_US.exe
it will ask you if you want to CID unlock your device at the start so you shouldn't need to worry about forgetting this time , if you can't connect your device to activesync just go into the bootloader (hold the camera, voice dial buttons while pressing the reset button) and once it connects run the set-up.
Oh another thing before I forget..... do some searching and read up a bit, because this is a pretty common topic on this forum, best of luck and hope everything works out ok. If not, report back.
*edit* I just noticed the thread that you linked to, I actually wasn't aware that this was possible, but anyways I think it's still much safer to CID unlock your device if possible, and another thing you might try replying in that thread if it doesn't work out since they should be more knowledgeable in the matter..... and that would help keep the forums less cluttered *edit*

Thanks, for your help, Unfortunately you are totaly right for my stupid act (again). At first i tried to solve the problem alone , but whole day I roam through this forum to find solution but I can't find the same problem like my. Maybe because of my ..... brain .Anyway I am with G3. NOW I have
IPL 1.0
SPL 2.26
GSM 01.09.11
OS 1.5.4.2
This is after this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116
I tried also to download also and Molski's 2.26.10.2 AKU2.3 Rom a.k.a. 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom, but the problem is the same : The splash screen is running and STOP and.... nothing.
I can go to bootloader and can download new rom, but I can't start fhe phone.

Yeah I know these forums aren't the easiest in which to look for info. So you can go into the bootloader, that's good. Don't try to go to a AKU2.x rom or later, keep it under that, so no 2.26 roms at all. 105, or 108 roms should be good.
Did you try the rom from the link I provided or the one on the thread? and afterwards did it go into the phone at all? My friends MDA had a similar problem last week, caused by the same thing, though in your case I see the SPL isn't updating when you install new roms on his it was the os that wasn't updating, but as soon as I installed that rom I recommended it booted up fine, then I updated his device to molski's 2.3.
I'll check back in a few so let me know how's it going.

Ok, but tell me how to solve this :
"qiote"
8. Open ActiveSync, Explore and copy enablerapi.cab from your PC's C:\ (remember that's where you extracted lokiwiz to...) to you device, I don't care where.
9. Pick up your PDA, File Explorer, find the enablerapi.cab and click it.
"quote"
I don't have access to the phone explorer and phone at all.
masr1979 I have tried the rom you give me, but it look like there is some things I don't understand: When I start the exe file i have choice <continue> .Whet I type <c> 2(two) time the soft tell me <no device found> and order me to continue with copy ???. After few seconds tell me that Unlocker ..... Done!, and start HTC wizard Unlocker and NOTHING !!! Stop on this position more then 15 min. and only the led for charging on the phone is active.

Forget all about unlocking. Until you can boot the device completely it'll never work.
Try and install an official 2.x ROM on your device.
My suspicion is that you originally has a G4 device, which is bad because if you DID have a G4 you have a brick now...

Can you remember your phones old ipl/spl? for your sake I hope it wasn't something in this format 2.XX.000X.

Of course I'm not sure, but I thing it was 2.21. Anyway did you think that is posible to cook my own rom in G4? I'm totally confused.
Every time when I upload new rom I have this:

Thanks, but I try to find oficial rom but without success. And very interesting thing I found.. when I start to upload new rom the soft start to check my old rom and after that tell me that i have GE (german) language, but my old was WWE ?
Is it posible some one to give me some link to official 2.x ROM but for T-mobile german language.

Well the other day I tried finding that german rom for a while.... that search was going nowhere, I saw this thread, I don't know if you might want to check into it and maybe try it out. There's mixed results apparently but who knows

Is my Wizard Dead??

I try to install a Rom Dopod_WM6-CHS. When it finished, my wizard is OFF.
I try to go in Bootloader, nothing!!!
I have G4 unlocked with PDAVIET3.
What happened?
Any solution?

Is this Bricked or what?
Pls
Thnks to all.

Hi
Did you had enough battery when you began the upgrade ?...just guessing

Yes. I have 70% battery.
I try wrongly to install that ROM, who was in Chinese.
When it finished, its going off, and i cant to go on.

Are you sure it doesn't enter bootloader ? Did you tried everything. BTW, why did you tried to install the chineese rom ?
Have you tried takeing off the battery for about half and hour and then trying again bootloader ? When your device is of, and you plug it into charger, does the led lights ? And if so , what colour ... orange(normal) or red or worse ...nothing ?

Yes i Try batter off for 4-5 hour.
I try hard reset (CommManager button, VoiceComm Buton and to reset), Nothing.
I dont see that it was in Chinese. In finishing of installing Extended Rom, he gone off, and no one LED light is taking on.
I dont know what.

If no led is turning on, try this. Pull out your battery, insert your charger(with the battery out) wait for a couple of seconds, and then insert the battery.
This should start charging...
Tell me wat's hapening.

Well, the ROM being in a different language should not cause any problems, rather, the IPL/SPL included in the ROM may have killed the Wizard, which either in different in terms of being G3/G4 or it is for a different unit (eg non Wizard phone).

I know that, but from what I remember, WM6 only has OS, not IPL/SPL.
That's why I was hoping that his Wizard is not dead 4ever.

If any rom you flashed included a bootloader (IPL/SPL) then you have bricked your G4. You cannot flash IPL/SPL into a G4 yet. It will work until the first reset then will be a brick forever after.
If you have warranty or insurance on it you might want to exercise one of those options and hope for the best.
I hope that you did not flash a G3 or other bootloader and your device is just being temperamental.
Good Luck.

the op contacted me yesterday for help....some bastard uploaded a Chinese rom to the ftp....with it seems a cross ipl/spl....this means if you install in a g3 or g4 it will brick....the file has been deleted...

Im one of victims who uses that ROM
That ROM was in Upload/Wizard/ROMS/ and i dont know who tolerate to upload that ROM who can brick a wizards of all newbies.

Is there a schedule of when moderators (or whoever) views the upload directory of the FTP and verify/move the files to the proper spots/directories on the FTP?
I know that it was recently cleaned up, and assume it is being maintained. And if so there should be no reason (other than lack of patience) for someone to DL something from the upload directory.
In any case it's unfortunate that someone is that malicious (whether intentional or not) and caused people to ruin their devices. I would think as a good rule of thumb that before you flash any file downloaded from the upload directory look for an associated thread on the file or ask about it on the forums to see if anyone knows what it is/who the author is.

yes we check all we can ,but we cannot check every file and its extensions.....this a voluntary job....as i rule you should only download files that you know that are safe....and for the love of good check the files with antivirus scanner...there is several treads about this problems allredy.....at the moment there is only 2 choices ;ftp for everybody or no ftp at all.
who can check if every rom uploaded for every device is good?.....there is no way.

is a 1.04.10 radio a valid radio for a 2.xx rom?
If you are stuck, the only/best way to recover is to flash an official rom from your carrier. You can get to the bootloader so you are NOT bricked. You are just flashing roms that have a CID that doesn't match your phones. Try the button rom or the wizard love rom that the unlocking stickies mention repeatedly.
Were your IPL/SPL 2.18 before you started?
Read the Wiki, Read the stickies. For every person that says the process doesn't work there are 100 that it works flawlessly for and 99% of the time those that can't get it to work don't follow all the steps in order or just outright skipped steps or substituted with what THEY thought was better. There is a reason for each and every step in the guides. IF you follow them properly you WILL NOT have any issues.
For the situation you are in now: STOP trying to flash custom roms, you MUST get your phone back to a usable state before you go down that path again. Use your carriers latest available rom to recover your device.
Also you are lucky to get an answer at all because your question is asked in almost every single new thread and every single ROM thread. The answers are already easily found if you take the time to look yourself.

You will not be able to install a CUSTOM rom until you CID unlock. I don't believe the Black 3.0 rom is available for the Wizard. It is a Hermes rom. There are several WM 6 roms available for the wizard, you should probably look in the WM6 sub-thread once you get yourself completely CID unlocked.
The tutorial tells you everything you need to know, even if you don't know anything about anything. Just read the instructions follow the links to download the roms/tools that it is talking about. If you don't understand the instructions you can post in that thread and the authors or others will help you there. Though they most likely will not respond until you show that you have read and at least have an idea of what you are trying to do, where you started where you are and where you would like to end up. If you don't understand the instructions there is always the IMEI unlockers site that will give you a utility to do it if you want to pay them for it.
Why are you trying to upgrade? Do you need to upgrade? Are you willing to void your warranty on your phone? Can you live without it if something drastic happens and you truly do brick your device, in most cases you will not be able to exchange your phone under warranty? If you haven't defined the first question or answered no to any or all of the other questions you shouldn't be rom flashing, especially not with unapproved roms that aren't supported by your carrier. You need to measure the potential gains against the risk of doing these things to determine if it is right for you. Once you get unlocked and flash a couple of roms you will see that it is easy and relatively safe as long as you read and follow the instructions they are tried and true and do work if they are followed properly.
I would suggest using this thread to unlock your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435

Once you get unlocked and flash a couple of roms you will see that it is easy and relatively safe as long as you read and follow the instructions they are tried and true and do work if they are followed properly.

The Wizard Love rom is another that people use when the Button rom doesn't work for them. I don't have a link to it but I am sure it is linked in the Upgrading or G4 sub-forums. Maybe even in the Wiki. Sorry haven't been spending much time in the Wizard forums as I only flash my wizard when something breaks, or a new feature is added -- My wife uses that phone now .
There is always the pay to unlock website but you should be able to get it unlocked with either button or the wizard love rom.
Just out of curiosity how long do leave it sitting at 98% before you determine that it is stuck? All roms "stick" at a few points during the flashing process. If you didn't wait at least 5 minutes or get an error on your PC you probably didn't wait long enough. Best advice I have on this is disable all power management/screen savers on your PC set up the flash. Once it starts leave the room and close the door for no less than 30 minutes. This way you can be sure that you didn't interrupt it. For a Wizard the flash should complete in 10 minutes or less. For the Hermes it can take a full 30 minutes depending on your flashing method an which components you are flashing. It is normal to hang for a few minutes at different points during the flash process, just because there is no transfer doesn't mean something isn't being decompressed/written on the device from what has already been transferred over.

Do I have a bricked Wizard??

Hi, I was trying to flash/upgrade my Wizard to WM6.1 (was able to do it once over the weekend). But got over-confident and was trying to do it second time (ofcourse use some other cooked rom) but during the upgrade, my kid pulled out the wire from the computer.
If that was not enough, in a panic mode, i actuall did a reset on the wizard. Now it wont even start (no lights light up nor I get the 3 color screen = bootloader.).
The time when my kid pulled up the USB cable, I was "upgrading" to 2.26 after having successully downgraded to 1.xx ..
I fear I have bricked my wizard...is there anything I can try before having to spend 40-50 buck and get to cell repair estimate? I tried hard-reset (Camera + Power On), (Green + Red button + Power), Communication Button + Voice Button + Power but nothing happens.....

Sorry but i guess your Wizard is a brick, the only solution is that you get a new motherboard or a new Wizard. Feel Sorry to say that but still dont go on my advice let some other senior member say something too. Maybe there is a way i dont know and anybody else does.

did you have a full battery?do you think your battery drained through the process?try charging the battery in some other way or try another battery...if that doesn't do the trick....you need a new motherboard.....

G3 phones are very stubborn devices,its very hard to 'Brick' it ! They don't get Bricked in this way ,unless you really do stupid thing and flash a Rom with G4 IPL/SPL.
Here,you have a dead battery,just try to charge it fully ,somehow, or borrow another battery from a friend,or if you prefer,buy a new one,as it comes with little charge to start and boot up the phone and even sometimes flash a rom.
Apart from this,I don't believe its Bricked,G3 doesn't get bricked like that,by being interrupted in the middle of flashing or resetting it.

zabardast i think he was upgrading the bootloader...that kills it right?

What I believe he means he was upgrading to IPL/SPL 2.26 by flashing T-mobile,after downgrading to 1.xx by Button's Rom,while flashing,it got interrupted and in panic he reset the device,now can't power Up the device.
Well,interrupted during flash or resetting doesn't brick a phone.
secondly,Bootloaders IPL/SPL are automatically downgraded/upgraded by flashing a Rom with IPL/SPL when flashed.
Unless,as I posted above, if he has flashed G4 IPL/SPL or a G4 Rom with IPL/SPL,it wud certainly brick a G3 device.But as he said he was upgrading to 2.26,means,he was flashing T-mobile,so I believe,it cannot be bricked this way

OOOPS!
On second thought,did he mention its a G3,well,what if its a G4!!!
and he flashed Button's Rom............. GONER!
I assumed its a G3,coz he posted ipl/spl 1.xx and 2.26 and he already got it upgraded.

hi thanks for all the info.
Before the upgrade I verified it have more than 60% battery (arround 80%). I had got a new battery and charged it 100% overnight before i tried the first upgrade.
Its a G3 phone (It showed 2.2x a did not have following .000 which show for G4).
I had downgraded using the Button ROM and was upgrading the rom using WST write ROM.
So is there still a chance..
I can try and see if anyone's got a HTC Wizard within my friends/around and try to charge the battery in their phone....just to make sure its fully charged

try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963
I have repair my wizard with this manual.

I wonderfully and utterly stupidly did exactly that !!! I wrote a G4 rom on G3 Wizard !! It turned on once after the procedure and wm6 loaded all the "extras" and then re-booted... into complete darkness !! Now it's completely dead nothing turns on, not even the green charging light. I left it for a couple of months and the red light come on briefly... but that's all. Now it stops the papers from flying off my desk .... it's my funeral and I'll cry if I want to (

I honestly feel sry for it,but may I ask which was the rom which you say is G4,which you flashed ? coz all official roms are suitable to flash to both devices and custom build roms do not contain IPL/SPL in them,which cud harm any device,its really questionable as which was this rom which bricked a G3 phone,if you are sure your phone is a G3. YES! its certain that if a G4 phone is flashed with a G3 specific rom,it'll get bricked,was your G3 or G4 ?

I confirm my Wizard is a G3 device and the rom I accidentally wrote over it was a G4 rom (I since deleted it from my computer to ensure I would not repeat the mistake) ....

So, there are G4 specific ROMs floating around out there? Now that doesnt make a whole lotta sense. I thought that all carrier ROMs where G3 (and to an extent G4 safe), and that all cooked ROMs where G3 and G4 safe because they dont contain IPL/SPL?

After G4 came out, the providers started releasing ROM packages with two bootloaders and a new RUU that would detect the device DOC generation and flash accordingly. If you extract an 'official' ROM you'll find IPL_1, SPL_1, IPL_2, SPL_2, etc... which means G3 and G4 respectively and therefore safe to flash to any Wizard in the market (minding the CID status of course)
As for G4 only roms i believe that might be a few around that were cooked in a time when the "G4 safe" concept wasn't yet implemented and when one would flash a complete ROM and upgrade IPL/SPL at the same time.
Nowadays, since Wizard official development has ended, almost everyone has a 'high' bootloader and only needs to change the OS version/flavor thus the absence of IPL/SPL in a released cooked ROM
Hope it's clear
cheers

Hahahaha "A silence minute for it's soul please"
Father, embrace with your arms this soul of a dead wizard and let it rest in peace in the Pocket Heaven Amen.
More Respect please HAHAHAHA
what a funny men!!!!

I bricked my phone too!
Hi there! I think I have the same problem. My phone is a G4 and it won't boot to bootloader mode nor charge in a wall charger. I had my phone unloacked and during the process, my phone shut down. Now it's dead. Is there a go around for this problem? Thanks.

Hey Guys,
I've got a similar thing, think I might have flashed a G4 file to a G3 Wizard.
I have, by following through the "Let's Revive A Wizard" thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=274766) been able to get the thing to boot into the bootloader screen and show IPL 1.05 : SPL 2.26.clip I think from memory and then flashed the 02 ROM but then it just boots back to the bootloader.
I also tried an SD backup from my other G3 and followed that through but nothing.
I think there is a way to revive using the methods shown, but there appears to be no more help relating to it and I'm out of ideas myself.
If anyone has a IPL & SPL file for 2.26 can they post it for me to try.
Thanks.
Ian
