HTC phone will no longer allow a software update.

Since I upgraded to "PDAMobiz_Wizard_Crossbow_AKU3.3_v.3311_G3_onl y"
my HTC will not let me upgrade to anything anymore.. once I run the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" utility for any version of software including the original PDAmobiz file..
the phone will shutdown when it is supposed to but will not restart.
Now if I hit the reset button it will reboot just fine, it will not go to the colored bars but will boot like nothing ever happened.
it seems like it is freezing from automatically restarting.
any ideas?
also.. any ideas why from this version of crossbow I am losing a LOT of incoming calls?
IPL. 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.47.11
OS 3.0.0.0
G3
Thank you guys..

Bootloader mode
Try entering Bootloader mode manually first, then running the upgrade. And from what I have read about the 2.47 radio ROM, that is the culprit of your missed calls.

How do I do that?

Bootloader mode
Power off the phone. Then, while holding down the camera button, power it back on. You should then get the 3 color bars. Connect your USB cable and you should then see "USB" on your phone. Then run the upgrade on your PC as you normally do.

I find when all other upgrade utilities fail the Italian NOID one comes up trumps.

GUYS the camera button did the trick..
when I was trying it earlier it was not working, the trick is that I had to actually shut it down with the off button. (I was just pulling out the battery)
Either way it did it ..
Super thanks guys

no usb contact at all

after downgrading to buttons 1.05 rom and used lokiwiz to cid and simlock unlock my vario g3 i flashed it to t-mobile 2.26 after that i flashed it to crossbow reloaded v 1.7 but got alot of glitches with the keypad and the alarmclock did not work at all so i wanted to try another versin but i cant get activesync to work,no connection no nothing....also starting up in bootloader with soft reset and camera gives me a nice colourfull screenie but no usb text at the bottom so can i get another version on my mda or did i bust it up big time lol

What are your current IPL, SPL, GSM and OS versions? Your description makes it sound like there is a conflict, though you said you did flash the T-Mobile 2.26 prior to your WM6. Maybe you flashed a modded one that doesn't have IPL/SPL? Does the radio/phone part of your device work?
Don't worry about activesync. Just boot into bootloader (see the wiki if you don't know how) and flash from there as long as USB shows in the corner you are connected. Your issue may be as simple as a bad flash of the rom you are trying to flash. I would suggest re-downloading it and trying again if both your IPL and SPL are 2.26. (or picking a different WM6 rom)
Ok just saw that you aren't getting USB on your bootloader screen you can always try the SD card method. I myself have never done it but many people have revived their devices using this method. Wish I could be of more help.
Also just in case you haven't done this already: reboot the PC. If you haven't upgraded to ActiveSync 4.5 I think you need to do that before you can get a connection in WM6. Google Activesync 4.5 and you should get the MS download page. Download that and install it and that may fix your issues.
Good luck

ive tried to reboot the pc and upgraded my activesync offcourse the rom cant be flashed from sd card i get a error when i try this also the usb is not working my ipl and spl are both 2.26 gsm 025.11 os 2.18.00
crossbow is still starting propperly but there is no way i can upgrade/downgrade

No Activesync After Button 1.05 Romload

I cannot get activesync4.5 to link up to wizard after loading button rom. IPL is 1xx and spl is 2xx. I am not sure what to do next with this since I cannot cid unlock without getting a connection with as. I have not found any definitive answers anywhere, and I have been reading alot, and then I read alot more. I have cleared the temp folders I have ran chkdsk I have manually started as on ppc. I really could use some help on what my next steps should be to get a link up from the ppc to the pc.

you're phone didn't flash correctly. put the phone in bootloader mode (hold the comm manager, the voice dial button, and hit the small hole on the side at the same time...should bring you to the tri-color bootloader mode) and reflash butons 1.05. you need to keep reflashing until BOTH your IPL and SPL are 1.05. having different numbers is not a good thing.

This is an 8125 and I have been able to get to the bootloader screen by pressing the camera button and power together. I have an IPL of 1.01 and an SPL of 2.25. I have flashed the phone 3 times now and there has been no changes as to the SPL as of yet. I will go for another round on it. Has anyone else encountered this problem with G3 8125 Wizard??? I have seen similar problems while reading through the forums, although no solutions.
When you press the comm manager voice dial button and press the small hole on the side that is for a hard reset right? Anyways I have reloaded the button 1.05 rom and it still has 2.25 SPL any ideas????

yes. flash the original 2.25 you had before or the wizard love 2.26 (assuming your phone is already CID unlocked)

how can it be cid unlocked if I have not succesfully gotten the phone to connect with activesync4.5 to be able to load the enablerapi file and run the lokiwiz.02b bat file??? This lack of connection to the AS is where I am stuck. From the read first sticky I should be loading the enablerapi file on and running the lokiwiz.bat file. I am not making a connection between the phone and the computer to be able to do that, at this time. I have now loaded the button rom on the phone 5 times and still no change in the SPL. What am I missing here????
One other thing that I noticed is that when I plug the USB into the Wizard it immediately trys and succesfully sets up a local area connection. It is currently set up as local area connection 5. This connection says that it is a windows mobile based device connection. What do you all make of this one??
currently these are my boot readings
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.25
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
Cingular/ATT Customer
8125 HTC Wizard
MODEL 100
UPDATE!!!!! So the answer to my own thread for anyone that will run into this problem, for myself, was to load the button rom then remove activesync program from xp, then without reboot redownload activesync with the phone connected to usb, if it still does not come up reinstall button rom without reboot. Also disable ALL firewall and antivirus programs. This should get the activesync to see your device, and then it will try to connect. Just cancel the attempted sync connection and you will be on active sync as a guest. I hope this will help out some newbies.

I am experiencing the exact same issue. Any ideas??

Uninstall ActiveSync 4.5 and install an older version.
AS4.5 seems to have problems with some WM5 devices.

I tried 4.5, 4.2, and 3.8 all without luck. Any other ideas?

Tried on another XP machine and it worked using ActiveSync 4.2.Now if I can get activesync to connect to WM6 ...

Finally someone mentions the OS on the PC. That will help alot you know. well hope all is sorted out! Good luck

Well i've tried several different versions of activesync (3.8, 4.2, and 4.5 which is needed for WM6) uninstalling rebooting, connecting the device several times, rebooting both the laptop and the phone, and nothing seems to work on my newer Core 2 Duo laptop. It simply will not connect to the phone. It worked perfect _before_ the downgrade to the Button ROM though using activesync 4.2 and 4.5 to the Cingular ROM.
All works perfect on my older P4 laptop though, both run Windows XP SP2 btw. Button ROM connected first try. I'm thinking something may be wrong with the OS on my new laptop, so I may have to blow it out and start all over since it's the one I need to sync with...
At least I got the XDA WM6 r2a Rom, IPL/SPL 3.08, and Faria 2.69.11 installed and working without a hitch on the 8125 so its fully usable now. Now to keep plugging away till I can sync it on my main laptop.
Frustrating!

where can I find active sync 4.2? I'm stuck just like he is.
I got IPL 1.01 and SPL 3.08
i'm in bootscreen right now trying to reflash it, but nogo.. I can't get a connection with activesync, so the romloader program is not getting a good connection

ROM flash gone wronge! help!

I was upgrading my t-mobile 8150(?) the k-jam with the new windows mobile 6 and in the middle of it my comp crashed!! now i am stuck at the bootloader mode (3 colored screen) and when i try to redo it i get to 99% and get a 302 error message. i follow the instructions given but keeps going in circles. its a G3 so is my phone bricked or is there a way to save it? i've been looking at this site all day but am now just more confused. lol thanks for your help!

No your phone isn't bricked. As long as you can get into the bootloader screen you should be ok. What you need to do is flash an official carrier rom either tmobile 2.26 or wizard love rom after you that than you can reflash to wm6. look at the stickies in the wizard forums that is where you can find these roms.

Thanks for the info but seems my techno curse continues. I tried the wizard love rom but it was in a different language and whem i tried the tmobile 2.26 i got "error 274 connection." Any more suggestions? Again thanks soo much for an issue I'm sure has been posted here a thouand times.

This happens to me all the time. I always use the Cingular 2.25 rom, it works perfectly and I have an I-mate K-JAM. Then, do the WM6 upgrade, but ensure all of your Norton and Antivirus and background running apps are shut down. Good luck.

yes also take out your mini sd card if you have one. even though its in another language it will work. "AVANTI means next. so just keep hitting that and you will be fine.

hmm been trying to d/l the Cingular 2.25 rom but the link seems to have stoped working...

It;s aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllliiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! for now lol Lets see what happens after i install wm6 I couldn't get the cingular rom but i had already dowbloaded the button rom i found here earlier and it worked like a dream!! quick and easy!! thank you all soooooo much!

hi all. one more little thing. after adding the new rom to get it back to life, now the numbers don't match so i can't upgrade to wm6. i have ipl 1.01 spl 2.26. advice?

flash to the tmo 2.26 or cingular 2.25...that will give you an IPL/SPL of 2.xx
then, you can flash to WM6

i want to delete this message. can't find a way to do it.

there's any other way to flash without usb cable?? sorry to bug in this thread but i lost my usb connection somehow and did a hard reset and still doesn't work. my phone charges. and no is not my computer cuz my wifes phone same as mine does sync i have a tmobile mda also known as the cingular 8125.

keep reflashing buttons rom until both ipl/spl are the same number. if they are different, then the flash didn't complete correctly. (it happens often, so it's kinda normal). just keep reflashing. after both ipl/spl are the same, then CID unlock and then update to an official carrier...then flash a wm6.

can anyone help me??

Check if "USB" displayed when in bootloader mode (Camera+reset) with Wizard connected to PC.
If so, you may try to flash another ROM through bootloader.

Error 260 - Update Error

I somehow, have made a major mistake.
I was going to be updating my 8125, so I followed the steps closely.
Downgraded to Button 1.01 (Worked flawlessly)
Unlocked with Lokiwiz
Noticed I still had SPL 2.25, attempted to reinstall Button ROM, and now I get this error.
I've tried reROMing to the normal Cingy rom, nothing. I can't update to the T-Mo 2.26, I can't install any other ROM.
Searching brought up a whole bunch of nothin'.
How do I fixed phone?
Edit: After rebooting, doing 2 more unlock/CID unlocks and a quick "Please god make it work!" it decided to accept the 1.01 ROM, and is in the process of updating it again. Hopefully this time it'll work!

Great! Got it to update to the firmware I wanted. Now I have a tiny problem..
It won't connect to T-Mobile. It's sitting with the radio signal bar with the alternating "..." underneath. It says I should be connected to T-Mobile under the Phone tab, but I'm getting nothing.
Flight mode is off, I've reset a few times and I'm at a loss.
Edit: Hang on a sec.. It's still showing IPL/SPL as 1.01. Might that be the problem?

Your phone is havivg IPL/SPL 1.01.thats why it's not working properly,you got to have an IPL/SPL 2.xx.therefore keep on trying to flash T-mobile 2,26 to get IPL/SPL 2.26 or flash thr official cingular Rom to bring it back to it's default status.
secondly download WST tool to verify the CID lock.unlock status pf the phone.Download,install it and than choose CID Action button to check if it's CID locked/unlocked.You can get the WST tool from this link:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
BTW,what is the GSM version on the phone,download Radio 2.19.11 Rom version and upgrade,it might solve the problem,but you got to have to upgrade to ipl/spl 2.xx,so try and flash T-mobile 2.26.
