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!

You did the right thing! Sometimes, use the official ROM can solve many issues out there!

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 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!

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!
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.

Try to run RUU straight with Wizard connected and running in bootloader mode
At 56%, the desktop went to a blue screen and said an error had occurred and the system must be restarted. The screen asked if I had installed any new programs, check with the adminstrator, etc. The only program recently installed is the program for this ROM revision. When it crashed, the phone had a completion bar in the top 1/3rd, showing 56% completion. The rest of the screen was white. I restarted the desktop and was unable to establish a sync connection. I then preformed a hard reset on the phone. When it restarted, it showed 4 color bars, red on top, green, blue and white at the bottom. Since I cannot restablish a sync connection, how do I finish the modification. I am now concerned that I have "bricked" the phone. I am reluctant to try this mod on another phone until I can determine what went wrong.
Adding additional info
My phone is a G3, CID and SIM are unlocked, desktop is using Windows XP, SP2 and ActiveSync is Ver. 4.5.0
phone isnt bricked, your getting into bootloader fine. you need to turn it on, get it into bootloader i mean. if needbe press camera and soft reset (power button) then plug it in USB. You then need to flash your phone with the operator ROM, or the ROM you want to flash it with. Your phone is by far bricked, G3 ones are really difficult to ruin. I learnt that first hand

I just had this happen to me as well, I got stuck a 29%
Now when I get to bootloader it shows the IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26 and also a RUU in the top right hand corner. Plug in USB and I get USB at the bottom left but then when I try to launch the RUU with the rom I want to flash I Invalid update tool, download new tool... It wont "Verify information on the device"
**EDIT
Nevermind, I just got Titanium to take... I may be ok... I think the RUU in the vanilla download I got is messed up or something...
Currently ripping through the rom update now. Damn I just got this phone yesterday I was gonna be pissed if I killed it.
Okay, I have the tricolor screen with IPL 2.25 on the left top of the red bar, SPL 2.25 on the left bottom of the red bar, RUU on the right top of the red bar and USB on the bottom left of the screen.
I push the camers button, do a soft reset and launch the ROM update. First window says "Verifying information on your PDA phone. Please wait." After a few moments I get a window that says "ERROR (300) This update utility cannot be used for your phone. Please get newer update utility."
If I try again, I get a window with "ERROR (264) CONNECTION" And an additional message about the USB connection not working. I am using a USB charge/sync cable and not a cradle.
What now?

well,after geting to bootloader mode,don't reset again just establish usb connectivity and when it show usb in the lower part of the bootloader screen launch ruu and start the flash.if it still stops with an error,post that error,then it means u had a bad flash or no flash at all.are you pretty sure you got it CID unlocked ?
tell you what you do,go to this link download WST tool and apply it,than post the data info it gives here,this will give the present status of your phone,ok

Okay, I have the tricolor screen with IPL 2.25 on the left top of the red bar, SPL 2.25 on the left bottom of the red bar, RUU on the right top of the red bar and USB on the bottom left of the screen.
I push the camers button, do a soft reset and launch the ROM update. First window says "Verifying information on your PDA phone. Please wait." After a few moments I get a window that says "ERROR (300) This update utility cannot be used for your phone. Please get newer update utility."
If I try again, I get a window with "ERROR (264) CONNECTION" And an additional message about the USB connection not working. I am using a USB charge/sync cable and not a cradle.
What now?

G4.1 Does you're device start normally (yes) or is it stuck on the three-colored bootloader screen (no)? YES... go to step G4.4, NO go to step G4.2
G4.2 Turn off you're device totaly. Remove the SD card and disconnect the USB cable from you're device. Turn on the device while holding the camera button. You will get into bootloader mode (3 colored screen). Connect the USB cable to the computer and you will see USB at the bottom of your screen above the left softkey (Activesync will not connect in bootloader mode, but you can flash from this screen!). go to G4.3
G4.3 Download wizard_love rom and flash it to your device. Your device should startup again after doing this. Go to G4.4.
G4.4 Is your device CID-unlocked (note: it's not the same as SIM-unlocked!)? YES... go to step G4.7, NO OR DON'T KNOW go to step G4.5. (note: CID-unlocking a G4 is only possible by paying for it at imei-check!)
G4.5 Download enable-rapi.zip. Transfer Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab to your phone. Run Cert_SPCS.cab FIRST and EnableRapi.cab SECOND. Turn your device off and on or wait 5 minutes before soft resetting. Done? Go to G4.6.
G4.6 Follow this great thread by the-equinoxe: [solution] G4 SoftSPL Flash any ROM to CID locked G4 [UPDATED] and load the softSPL on your device using his method. Make sure you take a G4 safe rom (see the thread for details). After the steps you'll have the rom of your choise on your device!
G4.7 You're reade to flash the AKU2, AKU3, WM6 rom of you're choise IF the rom DOESN'T contain IPL/SPL. AKU3 and WM6 roms normally don't contain IPL/SPL. If you want to flash an AKU2 rom, make sure you take the G4 version. If you get an error 300 (invalid update tool) while trying to flash your device look at this thread!
NOTE: If you tried to flash a G3 rom with IPL/SPL in the rom on a G4 you probably will have a bricked device! DON'T flash the new 3.08 and 3.09 IPL/SPL to your G4!
NOTE2: If you got problems flashing with softSPL: Follow this great thread by mun_rus: Solutuion found: how to flash any rom to CIDLOCKED DEVICE. If your device won't start after flashing you can use step G4.2 and G4.3 and try again. Also look at this thread by eddieitman: Faria G4 Step by step installer with instructions to make sure you did all the necessary steps!
Crashed during flash
It has been suggested that I download Wizard Service Tool. OK, I did that. The Wizard Service Tool says to connect to ActiveSync. Can't do that. Phone is locked in Bootloader. It boots up into Bootloader. Any action requiring ActiveSync won't work as long as the phone is locked in Bootloader. Any suggestions as to procedures at this point. Remember, that trying to flash the ROM at this point, I get a message 300 that says I need to get a newer update utility.
Crashed during update
It has been suggested that I flash with wizar-love rom. Did that. Got a message 300, my phone need a newer update utility.

go to the G4 section and look for the HardSPL thread. Once there get the MUNRUU file from first post and use it with the ROM you wish to flash as it might do the trick of the ERROR 300
crashed during flash
It was suggested that I go to G4, first thread, HardSpl and down load file, munruu. Didn't find any such file. Went to second thread, by mun_rus, but was unable to download file.
My 8125 is locked in bootloader and I don' know what to do.
I still need help!!

download latest Official Rom from carrier official site, establish usb connection while in bootloader flash,it will start working,after that follow the procedure of unlocking and upgrade
or if you have put in Sdcard,remove it and then switch on the device,it might get ok.It's seen in many cases that some Sdcards create problem while upgrade and bootloader screen gets stuck,by removing it,it starts to work fine
good luck

I'm talking about the, so called, 'MUN RUU' which are the files used to upload the nk.nbf. You just have to replace those for the ones you're using now; NOT THE nk.nbf, just the others...

The SIM card was removed.
Hope this helps

For instance, if you are (like me) with TmobileUS, go to the Tmo site and go to the page that gives you the download to rom 2.26. I have that rom, if you are with Tmo, but won't be able to upload it until later...
http://tmobile.infospace.com/tmweb/...wnloadCenter/DeviceDownloads.aspx?deviceID=24
THAT^^^ is for TMOUSA...it is the official Tmo rom. If you are with cingular/att, you need to access their website and download their official rom, etc.
A while ago I tried to Flash a version of WM6 from mfrazzz on my wizard. The installation seemed to go ok, but when I boot it up i coudn't get past the second splash screen. I thought the phone was a gonner until last night, when I gave it another shot putting on Button ROM. I followed these instructions and it worked. The instructions also had me unlock the phone, and that worked fine too. after that I tried updating my IPL and SPL, Right now my IPL is 1.05 and SPL is 3.08
After this I tried unsuccessfully to get WM6, I think I started off trying Faria.
(So here is the actual problem)
After I tried installing Faria unsuccessfully, I couldn't get Button ROM back up. I'm stuck on the second splash screen (picture of a mug of beer in front of the Colosseum). I've tried flashing my phone w/ everything i've got, including button ROM and Love, and nothing works. most of the WM6 Update Utilities won't even connect. Button Rom connects, stalls at 98%, finished and says it was a success, but I'm still hung up on the Splash.
(I'm running WinXP w/ SP2)
I really just want something running on this phone, don't care what it is.
Thank you for your time
Download official stock rom to recover back and download WST_4.2.2 to verify the CID lock/unlock status,most probably its still CID locked.or you can even reflash 'Button's Rom' again.
No, I've tried to reflash button rom many times. It says it works but it gets hung up on the splash. Since I can't get anything to run on it WST won't work (I think)
Yes! WST only works on a working OS,have you tried to flash the official stock rom ?
Don't activesync or establish partnership,better if you altogether disable & close activesync and end process 'WCESCOMM.EXE' in the Task Manager and try to end as many applications running at the background.Don't surf the net,disable all anti virus and firewall.
Simply get the phone into Bootloaders mode,hook up with pc via usb cable,watch small usb appear at the bottom of Bootloader screen and run the Rom,hope it'll work.

I did this when my Wizard stucks on the splash...
Get mtty 1.04 i thin i dont remember exactly but the higher i ever saw.
kill process wcesscom in PC
conect the ppc on Bootloader
click on conection it shows USB if not... start up again the process
then a white screen appears
I type: task 28
then it works a little on some memory directions
I type: task 28 55aa [or something] (its better get the info on wiki cause it works on chip directly)
without unplug the PDA starts the RUU again...
It works for me...
This is a process for HTC Universal but it works on Blue angel and Wizard for sure!
wait a little i will confirm the steps and the exactly words to type in.
you might need clean the ROM or your flash ROM is overcooked.
I can repair your phone !

Hey + Que PPC!
Have you confiirmed those values? And is your Wizard CID unlocked?
This would be great to confirm working so that all those with CID locked devices could get their phones back - without paying IMEI-check.co.suckourmoney.uk
@ twig2256
If your phone is CID unlocked try Drugstore's method of recovering Splash Screen frozen phones
cheers
YES
The values are the same for every DOC CHIP
When the MTTY conects to USB type exactly this...
task 28
(then it will work formating and cleaning the DOC
then it says succesfully clean
and now type...
task 28 55aa
it again works on the same process you can close the mtty without unplug your device... update your device with a Stock rom.
Actualy I have issues with mtty i dont know why i can acces to USB it say CMD GOD Damn can anybody helps...
