Hey all,
I've got a friend wanting to upgrade his G3 8125 (IPL/SPL 2.25) running the stock Cingular rom. Phone is not CID Unlocked. I told him, "No problem" so we pulled down the Button rom and tried to flash it. When you run the rom, the phone just turns off and won't come back on. Never goes to the bootloader screen, its just off, and the power button doesn't work. So we pull out the battery and then put it back in and it powers up.
We tried flashing the Button ROM a number of times and every time its exactly the same thing.
So next I told him we'd just force it to the bootloader and flash it that way. So we turn it off, hold in the camera key, and press the power button. Nothing. Phone won't turn on. Tried this numerous times and numerous ways and it won't do anything. Pull out the battery, put it back in, and the phone boots up to the stock rom with no problems.
So I'm at a loss here. I've never seen a phone refuse to go into the bootloader (either via RUU or by forcing it there). Anyone else seen anything like this or have ideas?
Hi Buddy,

D'OH! Yes I've seen that and completely forgot about the reason for this thread! Thanks. We'll give this a go tomorrow to see if that lets him flash the Button ROM.

It is a G3 device and not unlocked and I used something that probably was never meant to be used in a wizard.
RUU_Prodigy_1070302_103_10703102_CMCC_CHS_Ship.exe
really stupid I know, now it is not powering on.
is there any way to recover from this?
lol no kidding it isnt meant for a wizard.. don't you see it says PRODIGY ..
Try taking your battery out for a little while..then put it back in and try booting into bootloader mode by holding the camera button for a couple seconds then press the power button while still holding the camera button... if you get a screen that has 3 colors flash the device with Wizard_Love or an official cingular ROM
I will try that, how long is little while? I will try leaving it for more that 5 min. In many sites prodigy is presented to be the same with wizard, so I probably [email protected]#$ it up..
I bricked my Hermes before and I left the batter out for about 10 seconds and put it back in and the power LED came on.
update:
took out the battery and then put the charger in.
three coreor creen came up with IPS/SPL versions and a RUU message in top right corner... Now?
is your phone CID unlocked?
go to www.htcamerica.net/support/8125/software-downloads.html and download that ROM and flash that to your device....
you can flash the above rom regardless if ur CID unlocked or not. it's the official ROM
it is not unlocked, I tried to update to the original version but it gives an error message and then it returns back to the 3 color screen.
What does the RUU mean in the top right corner? Now it does not power off. When I press power it shuts down and then comes up again in that screen. this happens only when I have the charger plugged in. Is there a chance that the battery is dead?
ok .. find wizard_love rom in this forum somewhere and try flashing that.. your phone isn't bricked it's saveable... first off, you CAN NOT flash a custom rom to your phone if it is NOT UNLOCKED.
Find Wizard_love rom and flash that.
now it is back to the original cingular 2.25 rom. After 2nd time it managed to install it. And I am back to my previous problematic situation...

Thanks for the information, by the way if you are aware of any way to get out of the situation I am now, you would be more than welcomed to help..
Thanks!!
hi if anyone can help thatll be greatly appreciated. I just bought an att tilt 8925, and well this is what happens. it boots up and goes into windows screen and then as soon as it goes into the main screen it vibrates a whole bunch of times and then just shuts down. can't get it to active sync to reflash because it wont stay on after it goes into the main screen any help would be appreciated!
Where did you buy this Tilt? Did this happen straight out of the box or have you already flashed it?
Search on how to manually get into boot loader and re flash; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383904
i bought it like that. the phone is in great condition. all features seem to work but i think the guy did a hackjob on the rom so it's not working right and im all new to trying to get it to work.
Since it's new... start with some baseline work.
1. Do a hard reset.
2. Record ROM and radio versions
3. If it comes up... consider loading the ROM of your choice.
I see you're new here so PLEASE read my signature.
Thanks,
Your best bet would be, download the OEM official Tilt ROM, Manually get into boot loader, then flash it. There are also other methods of flashing such as from your Sd card. The previous mentioned link has allot of answers.
okay i just tried entering bootloader but it wont get into the screen. i hold the camera buton and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of th phone but it just boots up normally. anything im doing wrong?
Ok, so today I tried to flash my Rom with the official att 6.1 rom from HTC. I got it to finally start flashing after about ten tries but when it reached about 13% it gave me an error 276 I think. I tried the recovery method suggested by removing the battery for 3 seconds and reseting the device but now my device isn't recognized in windows and I can't run the upgrade file anymore.
It just goes to the bootloader screen with "KAIS1*0" on the top, then "SPL-3.02.000" below that, and "CPLD-8" below that. At the very bottom it shows USB but my computer doesn't recognize the device. I've tried hard reseting it and it just goes back to the bootloader screen.
Is there any way I can get my Kaiser back or am I screwed?? All this waiting for 6.1 and now my phone is dead. What a load of crap.
Just re start the ruu and let it sit for a minute when that happens, it will start again by itself. Almost shat myself when it happened to me.
First of all, relax. Your phone is not bricked. Do a little looking around the forums and you will resolve this.
I am too lazy to search for him but is the 3.02 SPL compatible with the 6.1 ROM?
I can't restart the Ruu because I can't get a usb connection to my phone. The bootloader goes into usb mode but my computer does not see the phone. The Ruu says it cannot detect the phone either.
Isn't there a way this guy can re-flash using a MicroSD card?

I'm not sure if the OEM SPL has the ability to flash from card like the Hard SPLs.
To test put the Carrier ROM (Download from the Wiki) on to the root of the MicroSD Card and call it KAISIMG.NBH. Turn on the Phone with the Camera Button Held Down. It should try and flash the ROM then. If that doesn't work, I have a thread and wiki page all about getting stuck on the bootloader, check my Sig for more info.
Hope this helps.

run this while phone is hooked up to computer stuck in bootloader.
Sweet Jesus
Ok, I tried the tri-color fix from nufsaid. It didn't work b/c it couldn't open a usb port or didn't see the phone or something. Then I tried putting the rom on my microSD card.
And *SHAZAM* there it was. DaveShaw you are a god to me now. It said the update was successful but I'm still stuck in the bootloader. It used to work if I would plug it into the wasll charger and reset it but that isn't working now. My computer still doesn't recognize it so Mtty or anything still doesn't work.
Ok, I left my tilt on the tri-color screen all night long to run down the battery. When I woke up I tried to power it on and I got the familiar ATT flash screen but when I plugged it into the AC power it went straight into the bootloader.
I don't know what's worse, bootloader or red light of death, I just experienced the red light, called att and got a new phone sent out in 12 hours! What SPL does your phone show? they might exchange if it's not 'voided'
ok, I finally got it to load the windows. If the battery has a high charge or is charging resetting won't get out of the bootloader. If I let the battery run down to almost nothing, wait a little while with it out, then try it again it will turn on. my spl is now 3.56.0000.
Finally
I finally got it out of the bootloader. I'm never going to reset my phone again. It's gonna suck if it freezes. Thanks for all the help.

Glad your back up and running. There are two new hard SPL's be cmonex (they are mentioned in the link in my sig) that make it less likley for you to get stuck at the bootloader. You could try those?

Hello xda, so yet another person took the plunge into flashing a rom. Im not sure what I did that was wrong because the install went perfect, it made it to 100 percent and restarted my phone like it was all well and good, but it wasnt. It just sits there perpetually restarting. Believe me I have been looking unfortunately, I didn't seem to find anything that helped. From the threads I read it sounds like I can just go to the boot loader, plug in my phone, then place a stock rom from alltel on my internal storage and flash that, or maybe I was mistaken with what I read. Either way I can't get that to work I can get to the boot loader and hook it to my computer, and the computer will say something connected, but it doesn't show up as a removable storage device or anything. This is the rom I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553844 this is also the tutorial that I used http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
Please, please give me some help.
me too
Anyone have any ideas? I tried using the HardSPL from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839
and I tried may different ROMs with the same problem... So i don't think it's the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
i was able to 'unbrick' my phone...
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. load the bootloader
3. plug the phone to the computer
4. go to sprint.com and get the Rom from them and just use their exe
now it's back to WM6.1
So i guess the problem is that there's not WM6.5 ROMs for CDMA diamonds yet?

I don't know how offical it is, but I have loaded WM6.5 on my Sprint CDMA Diamond just fine.
Alright thank you that worked, I thought I was going to have a diamond shaped paper weight for a minute. I do believe that there are indeed 6.5 roms for the diamond, but I have no idea why this rom didn't work. Thanks for the help.
so I got mine to work with a wm6.5 rom.
this is what i did:
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. then get this wm6.5 ROM: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084
this ROM is awesome!
Hope that works for you too.
You Bricked your Diamond
My Diamond bricked the other day and it wouldn't load or allow me to do a reset on it. I found a way to manually hard reset the device.
Hold the power button, the down volume button, and the enter button(the circled button) at the same time (continue to hold) then press the reset button. countinue holding the three buttons until a white screen comes up telling you to press volume up to reset device to original settings. press the volume up and it will reset. Now set up your device and immediately active sync and put a new Rom on the device

Yes thats pretty important to know when you are messing with roms, also make sure to note the boot loader screen which is reset, back, vol down, and power. That is how I fixed my phone. This tutorial is a nice tutorial to look over. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
www.everythingdiamond.info/ this site has cdma versions theyre pretty good
Yeah I actually got my latest rom from there, thanks for all the help everyone you were a god send
check everythingdiamond.info or ppcgeeks.com . Both of those sites have stickies dealing with this and all the roms you'll find there are for cdma phones.
this morning, I restarted my x1 because it was awfully slow this morning. so after I restarted it, it stayed at the sony ericsson splash screen for long time and didn't do anything. I tried to reinstall the rom through SD and it didn't work. Then I hardspl-ed it and tried to reinstall one of my old kovsimg.nbh in it, then now....it won't even turn on!!!
Did I brick my x1??? HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I FIX IT?
my battery is fully charged btw. PLEASE HELP. THIS IS URGENT!!!!!!
I've checked on different forum guides on here and none of which seem to be having what I am looking for.
UPDATE: i just plugged in my phone to the computer and then it popped out a notice on my computer saying that the device is not recognized. "the device is malfunctioned and does not recognize it."
@[email protected]" so what am I to do? do I return it to the store and get them to fix it or is it better just to give it up?
Have you tried a hard reset?
I have, but still no reaction...
I am guessing the x1 is still safe in a sense since the red light is still on.
Can you put it in booloader mode? If so, what version of the spl do you have?
the Phone won't even turn on. no possible way to get into bootloader. when you say spl as in hardspl and also softspl. i'm not quite sure. i just found it on this forum in the latest forum updates.
