hello i recently tried flashing my cingular 8125 with the crossbow rom and went all good until it stopped at 96% were i got a error and was instructed to recover bla bla. the bootloader was recovered and it still connects to my computer with usb...but ever time i try to restart the rom flasher i get ether a 300 error wrong updater or a 274 error comunications. i have looked and looked but cant find anything on what to do. if you have any info that could be of help it would be GREATLY apreciated. thanks in advance.
ps. sry if i did something wrong....first post...
Is your device a G3 or G4?
You probably need to flash an official rom again (Try the T-Mobile one, if that works then you are CID unlocked. If it doesn't then flash the Cingular one and then do the CID Unlock again _IF_ this is a G3).
If neither of those work, download the Wizard Love ROM (Search on PirateBay for Wizard_Love) and try flashing it, and then downgrading and CID Unlocking from it.
Good luck
8125
umm im pretty sure its a G3, i went by the thing on this website that says if it has xx 2 zeros then its G3 and xxx 3 zeros G4.
umm ive tried the offical HTC 8125 update but it doesnt work ether...is it the same as the cingular one?
im downloading the tmobile one right now ill let you know how it turns out.
thanks again for the help its greatly aprecated

If you don't see .0001 (or something like that) then you are a G3. But it sure helps when people give us full details, otherwise we are just guessing (and guessing can lead to a bricked phone because we don't have the full picture).

As long as its this one:

But HOW does it not work? What errors do you get, or what happens? Does your phone boot up into Windows? If so, what is the IPL and SPL now showing?

Give it a try, but if you can't get the official Cingular one to install, I doubt the TMobile one will flash either.

A suggestion is to remove Storage Card when flashing, I've personally had issues with that. And if the flash fails, reboot the PC and try again. Deleting Windows temp files and a CHKDSK are also very helpful.

I have never flashed this phone with any kind of alternate firmware, yet when I go to run the official one from HTC, I get this at 8-% exactly, on 2 diffrent phones:
_______________________________________________________________
ERROR [326]: INVALLID COMMAND
This NBF file cannot be used with for your PDA Phone. Please check you NBF file.
_______________________________________________________________
Then the phone turns into a brick. All it does is show the Tri-Color test looking screen untill try to flash again...
Any suggestions?
What phone do you have?
Whoops....
Sorry... I posted this in the wiz forum and didnt even think to put my phone model....

If you are attempting to flash the official ROM on an 8125 and getting this error, there's some bad juju goin on.
Just to be sure, you got the following ROM, correct?
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/software_downloads_8125.htm
I’ve downloaded that so many times my browser is upset at me. There must be a lot of bad JuJu... because It has tanked 2 different phones.....
I’ve taken your 2.3 update, and ran it... It went though... got to 98 and turned red on the phone... finally went to 100% and rebooted... but it was still at 1.8... but at least the phone works again... I really need the push e-mail though... and would prefer to use the official update... or a close derivative..
You should CID unlock first before you apply any ROM found in this forum.
If your phone is virgin, i.e. never been updated to a non official ROM, you will be fine going from 1.8 to this ROM and you would not need to CID unlock. I have gotten an nbf error before, but it was from an attempted downgrade to the stock 1.8 ROM from Summiter's 2.17 release.
Check your OS version and report back.
I know it says you have never upgraded before... If you're still having problems, just take it back to the store, we bricked a phone stuck on the 2.17 ROM and returned it with no problems. Apparently the 8125 does not like animated themes (not my idea, but it did have entertainment value).
Could there be something up with my PC if it bricked 2 seperate phones? WOuld it be possible to fix em with a diffrent PC? and do you think a Cingular store would update the firmware on the phone if it wasnt broken already?

There's always the possibility of a virus causing issues, but it's exceedingly remote.
If the phone is working you should be able to bring it into any Cingular store and have them do the update for you.

I concur with gamescan that it might be a virus, or some crappy spyware. I don't think however that you've "bricked" your phones as you WERE able to install sumitter's 2.23 OK. Of course since you didn't SID unlock you didn't get the full upgrade. I disagree with those who insist that you don't need to unlock. Mayhaps you don't need to but I know that sumitter and the other ROM gawds here have always suggested so. If I was you I'd downgrade to the 1.05, unlock, then upgrade. I'd also scan your PC with Spybot, maybe AdAware. Also I'd delete my temp files, in the c:\documents and settings\%username%\local settings\Temp. Also empty your temporary internet files. I've seen large temp folders on PC's create all kinds of grief. Just a suggestion.

Well... I appriciate all your help thus far.
I called Cingular Yesterday ant they sent out 2 replacement phones for free, and I got them today... With the update already in place, so I dont think I'll be playing with unlocking again LOL... But this information is very helpful, as my Uncle has the same phone and needs the push email more than I do. If his phone gets toasted, Ill be here with the results...
Thank you all very much... this is my new favorite place!!!
Not A virus .... its the phone
Apparantly the newer phones have a new flash chipset G4 which is not compatable with the current crop of cooked roms on this site. I think summiter has one that will work but it didn't work for me. I returned my phone for a replacement hoping to get the g3 chipset but to no avail all the new ones are G4 and are unable to be flashed to the custom roms. also you should be able to sim unlock with no issues but to cid unlock you may need to look elsewhere

First, the OP was using the OFFICIAL CINGULAR UPDATE not a custom Rom.
Second, He was upgrading from 1.8 which is a 1.x Rom, this means his phone is indeed a G3 variant as the 1.x Roms only have G3 IPL/SPL.
I had this same experience from a virgin HTC 8125....
I had stop all apps running and recharge my battery. Then disable my sleep and screensaver then it worked.
I just tried the toturial on how to upgrade the g4 and g5 using summiter's 2.3 rom and it is stuck on the rainbow screen. Been trying to upgrade it back to the 2.25 from the cingular site but it gives me a NBF file can not be used on this phone when it hits 95%. I've redownloaded the file twice and still nothing. Is my 8125 a goner? I just got it over the weekend too. Any advice? Thanks.
Alright nevermind did some more reading and fixed it, now where can I find the extended rom files? Can't seem to find the link.

I love how people need help, figure it out themselves and don't say how they did it. C'mon dude, give it up.
I am not sure what I have done. I have a cingular 8125 G4. Downloaded the Risidioro g4 rom upgrade and my phone was not probably CID unlocked. Thought that did not matter cause I was able to install Mr Clean ROM couple of months back. I read some users in the forum who successfully upgraded from Mr Clean.
Everything went nice and smooth, the upgrade completed 100% and when it finished and rebooted it stopped at the blue, red screen and got stuck there. I did soft reset, hard reset but every time that blue, red screen comes up and gets stuck.
Has my phone become a "nice but dead piece of furniture" ? Oh! man..that would devastating!
Please help!
BigMonty
All right, no response yet but it is only a hour since I posted but for me it seems eternity already. I did something further reading and got some hope. My phone might not be dead yet. Somebody said, if I can get to the bootloader mode, I still have some hope.
I did some trick on hard resetting found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=268836&highlight=dead
but to no avail.
Any other idea?? Cry!! Cry!! Cry!!!
Got another guy who successfully got out of the jail by having a SD image. Do you think it would work for me too? If it works where can I find it? I already e-mailed the guy, seems like a nice guy, let's see if he replies.

Do you see a USB connection if you connect it to Active sync, normally it is showing in the lower left or right corner, I'm not sure.
If so, you should be able to re-flash again, best would be to do this with your previous installed ROM.
Btw,
Spl 2.25.0001
Ipl 2.25.0001
Can somebody suggest what would be most suitable ROM to go for once I am in the bootloader screen?

Thanks a lot Vilem for your reply. Yes I see a USB connection..but I guess we can't get to activesync because the OS did not load yet. I had the Mr Clean ROM installed and I tried to go for it but failed. What should I do now? Go for the original shipped Cingular ROM?Anybody knows which version it was and where can I find it?

Means connected, try it. Mine crashed a couple of times like that and managed to get it going again.
You mean I should run the Mr Clean update utility which is the last successful ROM update or the orginial Cingular shipped ROM?

Bigmonty - after getting into allsorts of issues after trying to upgrade my G4 to various 3.2 based ROMS, i also got to the bootloader screen with the USB indicator in the righthand corner.
This worked for me - take the battery out for an hour or so, put back in and soft reset. make sure you have a good charge. reboot the PC and plug in the device.
Now the only ROM i can recover a working device from isto use the latest ROM from the phone supplier. in my case from the club i-mate site (my device is SIM unlocked).
hope it helps
Thanks AirWol. I was able to go back to Mr Clean successfully, which was a great relief. What I was doing wrong was, I was using the wrong update utility of Mr Clean. I should have used the one which was modified according to Risidioro guide for use in g4 chips. But I was using the original Mr Clean instead.
BTW, anybody knows whether it is possible to update g4 phones to the latest Risidioro or Cingular 2.26 ROMS? That is, can I modify according to Rididioro guide for use in g4? Anybody?
Probably I haven't learned enough lessons yet!

Hi there everyone
Greetings from Paris
I encountered the same problem. The file was not there anylonger. Then I saw this post, and its reply. I downloaded the file on http://download.yousendit.com/FF900F2908E9D05B which worked fine.
I ran the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe file.
So far so good, and then the process crashed at 98%. Something about a file in outlook. I started the whole process again, and now it just stalls at 98%. No error message. NOthing. Anybody have any idea what I should do now...
I have an Orange SPV 3000. I can put the new rom back but I wanted to do a cid unlock, before doing so. It seems to be necessary to be able to try out different roms...
Thanks.

I never have to downgrade before I do the CID unlocked. I've tried with two MDA and never encountered any problem. You will only need to downgrade if you CANNOT CID unlocked; otherwise, don't bother to downgrade.
thats just the point. I cant do the cid unlock... And I suspect that the rom version has something to do with it. Anyway, thats what I read everywhere on this site. So I am still looking for a working link to Button 1.05 ?

When downgrading with this ROM...it will stall at 98% for a few minutes...be patient. To confirm that the ROM I posted was legit...I used it again myself and worked fine. Then to make sure it wasn't just me...I had 2 other people tell me they used it and worked fine for them as well.
Don't know what to tell you as this is the ROM that was hosted on the FTP site for a long time.

If your having trouble flashing a rom the shell tool posted on the g4 threads lets you flash any rom you wish onto your phone i have a g4 cid locked and using the tool i can swap my roms every day if i wished to with no hassle

Hey guys.
i just wanner say first im a noob at phones so dont flame me.
Right, i got a brand new t-mobile compact 2 (htc charmer) with t-mobile rom on it. i really wanner upgrade to Windows mobile 6 so badly but i cannot flash my rom cus it aint unlocked.
So i tried doing it myself with the unlocker this website suggests, but that always fails .
What i think happend is this mda has been updated to the latest t-mobile rom. Which is:3.8.2.21 WWE and the unlocker is only for the old versions.
I actually dont know im right at all. but if anyone can get back to me either by pm, email or If you know your stuff please dont hesitate to add me on msn, and talk me though it. trust me its alot easier to do that then wait for thousens of emails.
Anyway any help will be amazing. remeber im a noob so please dont flame me, i just want to be able to experince the mobile 6 that all you guys are.
Email/MSN: [email protected]
Thankyou so much everyone. I hope you can solve this problem.

You don't have to unlock your phone to flash WM6. Considering you've already flashed the latest t-mob rom, just go to TouchFLO ver. 2.1 thread in Charmer Mobile 6, download the rom, read the instructions and flash. It will work.
Good luck.
Okiess gonner try it now. hopefully it will, will get back to you soon.
Ill describe the entire process.
Nope still not working, wont flash.
I run the flasher bat file the screen stays completely still nothing happens and i donno why. is it cus its not cid unlocked. i know you said it dont, but one of the guys said it did.
Get back to me soon
