Hi friends,
I am very new to upgrading\downgrading pc phones. I was trying to upgrade my wizard to upload diffirent language ROM, using this method :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
After some tries, I succeeded to upgrade rom, but after this power on the wizard and it stuck into startup screen.
If I press Camera + Power swich it shows three colour screen and some text :
IPL 2.16. 0001
SPL 2.16 0001
I think my device was CID locked and G4, and that is why I have a dead wizard.
I have backed up the phone before upgrading with wizBackup.exe and I have back files on my hard disk. I dont know how to restore rom from these backup files. :?: :?: :?:
Please help me to revive my PC.
Thanks in advance

Your phone is not dead!!!
If you can get to the three color sceen then your botloader is intact (and preserving the bootloader was the point with the tutorial that you followed).
Your phone is CID locked and is G4, that's right, but this is NOT the reason for the problem. The tutorial you followed, which incidentally I wrote, deals with CID locked G4 phone like yours.
The problem you had is probably due to a not correctly cooked rom.
Anyway, don't worry. You got the three colors screen so you can connect your phone to USB (even if activesync won't recognise it) and flash your factory rom (the one you were trying to replace). Don't need to use your backup: simply download the original rom from the manufacturer/operator site.

After many tries now my phone is working again,
I downloaded RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship from internet then cooked its nk.nbf file.
then uploaded the rom and phone is working again. Thanks for your help

IPL:2.24
SPL:2.24
GSM:02.25.11
OS:2.24.10.1

hi guys
i have qtek wiza200 today i'm use MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224a_AKU23_WWE.zip after flashing my phone turn on and installing all soft and restart and dead my phone. i'm push camera+power+reset i can't enter to boot mode. help me to repair my cellphone and how resolve my problem. my phone forever dead????
thanks a lot
Maybe some of you are already aware of this procedure, maybe not.
Anyway, it worked for me and I decided to share how to do it. Simple.
This procedure should only be used in case you really need enter into a bootloader mode and all other ways to do it has failed! Hold Camera button is one of these I am mentioning.
My Wizard was almost bricked at that time and after I speak with an I-mate technical guy, I got the following:
1. Make sure your i-mate™ K-JAM is not Connected to the PC and remove the dummy card or SD/MMC card
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 i-mate K-JAM 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. 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.
Hope it helps!
this realy worked for my (ex)bricked dutch tmobile mda vario !!!!
tip: REALY make shure that there is no wcescomm.exe running all the time and realy remove the sd card else is nogo
btw: my wizard is CID locked! and works like a charm
Thanks buddy!
I'm happy that worked for ya!
Take care!
I'm having a problem
The power went out as I was upgrading my Wizard (Cingular) so now it just turns on at the boatloader screen. I've tried running updates while it was in this screen (it did show the "USB" in the white bar) but most of the time it tells me there is a connection error. Even if I kill Activesync, I notice that when I run the update utility it still runs Activesync. I've tried disabling the USB connection but still get the connection error.
The only time I haven't gotten the connection error was twice it asked me to update but then told me I had the wrong file. This only happened when I tried "upgrading" to 1.05 as I was trying to start again. After it tells me that if I try running it again it gives me the connection error.
Any ideas?
Hi!
Have you already flashed your device once?
Which ipl/spl do you have?
I had problems over 1.05 ROM in the beggining.
If you stuck on bootloader mode, that's a good signal your device is not bricked.
I'd recommend you to disable activesync as you did and reflash it again! Check also if your device is CID unlocked! Search for a thread in the xda developers root.
Try to upgrade to ipl/spl 2.26 first and later to others you want.
Regarding the old file error...can be related to a missing file called enterbootloader.exe.
Hope it works for ya!
Take care

My device is unlocked as I've been trying different ROMs as of late. I had gone back to the Cingular 2.25 ROM for a couple days to sort some things out and was going to flash Farias AKu 3.3 when my power problems happened. My Current IPL/SPL is 2.25
I've tried flashing the TMobile 2.26 but keep getting connection errors. In fact, I've tried flashing with every ROM I have pdviet 3 and 4, CIngular 2.25, TMobile 2.26 and Custom 1.05. Everything (except twice in the custom) gives me connection errors.
Any other trick I can try?
BTW, I used to live in Sao Paulo years ago...
Edit: OK, so I tried the 2.26 TMobile ROM after I typed this and it worked!! I'm back up but I was having trouble with that ROM beause of some incompatibilities with Cingular. I'll go back to Cingular's ROM and play it safe for now.
I believe part of my problem was I kept trying different updates one after the other. Now that I think back, the 2 times I got the update to almost work was after I turned off the device and turned it on again, which is what I did this time around also.
I had the same problems as mentioned by Ironman before. I followed the steps and with a few slight changes, I managed as well to "unbrick" my wiz. THANKS A LOT for the great step by step manual!!!
Still I wanted to know WHY i bricked my device:
I was trying to upgrade to the underground WM6 ROM. I got the same situation as ironman:

I then followed the instructions by epimazzo as written above. I also tried the T-Mobile ROM 2.26 which was not working for me. PANIC!!!! Error messag was that I had the wrong Vendor ID. THerefore no upgrade to TMob 2.26 was possible. I tried it then my original qtek ROM in my language and see it worked!!! This IMHO means that I did not put the device in a proper IPL1.xx and SPL 1.xx status which is required for a clean system in irder to unlock it! So if it is bricked, try your native AKU2 ROM and make sure you unlocked it properly. Maybe you have to run the 1.05 ROM for a second time after the unlocking.
I hope this helps you guys.
Sounds great to hear that!
I had play around with pdaviet3, underground and another ROM just today without any problems at all. I don't think that this is the case. Now you get your device back to normal, try to reflash it again. Hope it works this time!
BTW,...São Paulo is a nice city. Thanks! Let me know if you decide to come here!
Take care

It seems you got the idea!
You did the right thing! Sometimes, use the official ROM can solve many issues out there!
Keep walking!

Excellent post. I messed up with my own cooked ROM and could only get the bootloader screen. Tried the tips here - didn't work first time but I pulled the battery from the KJAM to reset it rather than using the reset button and it worked fine.
In my opinion this thread is so helpful to people who brick their device, it should go "sticky". Mods anything you can do about it?
Thanks buddy! I really appreciate!
We survive here over tips like that!

Help me similar problem
I upgraded Super Rom, then my Wizard run very slow and no signal (no call out and in- no network at all). And Terible thing is PC could not dectect PPC thought Active Sync. I've soft and hard reset but no use.
So I donot know where to start to re install Rom again.
Please help me....
Hi there!
It seems that you just need to enter into the bootloader mode and reflash it again!
I had similar problems and more during my brick "false" stage!
So, just try to follow my steps here and you should be fine! Once you get into bootloader mode, just use any ROM out there to reflash.
Good [email protected]

I was about to start a EMERGENCY HELP thread, but I *think* this is the right place instead.
The "touch" of my screen went dead today. It got progressively worse over a few hours, starting with difficulty in using the phone dialer, then random incorrect stuff getting triggered by screen taps.
So I hard reset, and got no response on the fifth alignment cross, meaning 1) "Tap on the screen...; 2) center; 3) top left; 4) bottom left; 5) bottom right. In that I could not proceed with alignment, I hard reset again, and now, at the first alignment screen, i.e. "Tap on the screen...", I have no screen response at all.
I called T-mo, and they are being great about sending a replacement ASAP (and getting me a loaner in the meantime).
BUT, I am running Faria+ AKU3.3 V2... so I clearly have to flash back to T-mo 2.26. I can;t figure out how to do it though, as no matter what I do I am stuck at the first alignment screen!!
HELP!! EMERGENCY!!!
(I have three or four days to get this done, so it's not THAT urgent)
Do a search for Broken Screen. Someone (either in Wizard Upgrading or in the Wizard forum) just had a similar issue with a cracked screen. They downloaded something that allowed them to get around the welcome page.
Actually, if you are just trying to flash a new ROM, don't even mess with it. Go straight to the Boot Loader screen (see the first post of this thread). No tapping necessary until the new rom is on (and that will be the Tmobile then so you would be good.
Thanks for the quick reply. Charging up to green now, and then will try to enter bootloader and flash T-mo 2.26. Will report back.
Worked great. Back to T-mo she goes!!!
BootLoader Mode
Excellent thread but you left out one thing.....exactly how to place your device in bootloader mode.
To clear up any misunderstanding because this is very important....this is how you do it:
Perform a soft reset, when the screen goes blank hold the camera button until a multi colored screen comes up .... That's it !!!!!!
When the unit is connected, USB is displayed at the bottom left.
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.

it does shows but how can i flash?? it still won't connect o my pc. my pc doesn't recognize it. but it does recognize my wifes phone.
Try to run RUU straight with Wizard connected and running in bootloader mode
I have tried to uppgrade this unit to WM6. The upgrade process was working until it stalled at 23% for 2 hours.
restarted the phone and the pc Phone is stuck bootloader mode showing IPL 3.08 and SPL 3.08 showing a USB connection at the bottom on a red greenblue and grey screen.
If i try to reconnect activesync to try flashing back to WM5 it doesn't detect the Device..
Can a Kindhearted Soul Please HHHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
Im new to winCE i am a systems engineer to am quite technical but for this can you give me Step by step info on how to recover and get WM6 on to this unit.
Thanks in advance
Activesync won't see your phone while you're in bootloader mode, which is what your phone is in when you see the screen that you say you're seeing. The way to tell if you'll be able to flash back to WM5 is to reboot it in to that screen first and then connect it to the sync cable. If it shows a little USB at the bottom, which it should since I doubt you screwed it up that bad yet, then you can go ahead and flash the WM5 ROM.
There are already step by step instructions on how to upgrade your phone to WM6 in the stickies at the top of the wizard mobile 6 section here in the wizard section. Since you didn't know that I'm guessing that you probably didn't unlock your phone first which is the reason your phone is the way it is right now so you might want to start with that sticky.
Reflash it first using a manufacturer rom like this one:
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/dm_vario1_sw.html
Then once you get it working again try your luck with the custom roms.
HELP PLEASE!!
Ok so i think i bricked my wizard!
I have the t-mobile MDA wm5 unlocked g3.
I've flashed it to the WM6 Rom and everything had been working well, except there was no MMS feature on the phone at all which sucked! . My girlfriend thought it would be better if she did the "windows mobile update" icon feature that was on the phone to speed up the phone....She downloaded the updates & my phone shut off!! When it rebooted everything seemed normal...
1st.
T-mobile screen
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811
-Then i get the green windows mobile splash screen, but after i get an error message!!
*Device Authentication*
“Device authentication failure. Please contact the product manufacturer. For reference, please provide your device ID.
3563820017905901 38000050bf3f5173”
Ive tried to boot in safe mode to try & flash my phone again but for sum reason my computer wont recognize my phone is plugged in! What do i need to do?!? Please help, any help is thankful!
is not a bricked wizard men
easy men easy... but please tell to your girl dont push everything that she dont nderstands... Everybody knows that upgrade official is only for original OS like windows XP or VISTA..
Firs of all
Put your Wizard on bootloaders mode... plug in via usb the PC Active sync wont recognize your phone.. then run the original shipped Stock ROM and then your Coocked rom...
But if the PC at the same time you place your Device on Bootloaders and plug it via USB... shows a pop up message that said Windows cant recognize your device or unknown device or something... Restart your Pc... Hard reset your PDA... and replug your Device as I said it before... if not check your USB cable maybe a broken cable failure...
IF NOT?????!!!!!!!! then Use another PC with XP!!!!!
If it still on his not reconized message you are in serious problem but your girfriend Too...
Good luck
Easy..."Device Authentication failure" is caused by your ROM. Just flashing another custom ROM and the message should go away.
I'm surprised that the chef that made your WM6 rom left the Windows Update feature in there, it was bound to crash a cooked rom, since the update service never worked properly anyway.
I'm sure flashing another rom will resolve this.
yeah, flash the rom (you might want to try WizFlo 20273 v6.1.1.3 - i'm on it, and loving it). heck, you can even do a hard reset and that would probably resolve it.
