Hello folks I desperately need help, Ive just bricked my brand spunky new wizard G4 IPL/SPL 2.21.0001. I tried to do a Rom upgrade from shipped Rom to WM6, xm6 by mfrazz. I went through the process to 99% and then the progress meter changed from blue to red 99%, it stood there for awhile and gave the Error code 302. The screen is now in rainbow colours, it doesn’t do nothing. I need help please.
Did you CID unlock ur phone first? ... flash it back to the cingular ship rom. www.htcamerica.net

Thanks for the advise, No I did not CID unlock it, I read some where in the post it’s wasn’t necessery to CID unlock G4 wizard, unless I was day dreaming! I need detail help pls, the wizard is not responding to a any treatment from it current state. It’s in the rainbow coma if I may call it, if I take out the battery it obviously goes off completely. If I put the battery back in the rainbow colours comes back on and it doesn't do anything. In This circumstance, how am I supposed to flash it back to cingular ship rom, please explain? Many thanks
All you need to do is download the official T-Mobile ROM from their site and re-flash it. The fact that you are in the "rainbow" screen is a good thing because that's the bootloader and where you need to be to flash. After that, you may need to go through all the postings about flashing a G4 again a time or 2 because if you had read them you would have already known how to fix this problem.
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLOM!!!! ok can some one please tell me what i need to do to fix this problom im at the rainbow screen and i am just stuck! is there anyway to just get my phone back to normal?????????
First, connect your phone to your PC. Don't use an USB hub, plug it directly into the PC!
Then, start the phone. When it is in "rainbow" mode, just execute the flash utility (the original provider ROM) on your PC to begin the flash process..
This should work!

I was running xelencin's latest custom rom. I have used his previous versions and all was good.
This one hung at 98%. I was just letting it do its thing when out of nowhere, BSOD. So now my phone is just sitting at 98%. I thought there was a forum post here about recovering but I'm not able to find it.
Thanks.
Update: After a soft reset, I am back to the multicolor screen. When I plug it in, it says USB in the bottom left hand corner. Device manager shows a PocketPC USB Sync device as well.
When I perform a hard reset (Comm Button + Voice Dial held, then press soft reset with stylus), I am taken right back to the same multicolor screen.
You're at the bootloader.
This is a Good Thing(tm).
At this point, you should be able to rerun any (assuming you are CID unlocked) any RUU ROM upgrade. Let it do its thing and you'll be good to go.

For those that get stuck here in the future:
I had to extract the installer so as I could get past the CID unlock. I then ran "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" and all went well!

Yep, I went thru the exact same thing yesterday when trying to upgrade to 2.24. My PC decided to shutdown (not restart, a complete instant shutdown!) at 8% flashing. I decided to grab the "Mr Clean AKU2.3 ROM" which already had the ROM flash program available separately and then just put in the .nbf file I wanted and it was good to go
if your not cid unlocked, then what? xtract what? to wherehow can i transfer any thing, it seems though the device screen says usb, the avtivesync doesnt detects my phone. n?m, ive got it
What happen when your not CID unlocked? I had removed my hardspl before I tried to again flash a rom. I am stucked with the bootloader now...
Pls help

Only Official stock rom or the wizard_love rom will get flashed,no other wm6 rom is possible.
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!

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

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 guys, i've been around sometime in the "qtek" world and had owned some of them in the past, now i own a wizard and i expect to begin mastering the thingie..
The problem is that after some experiments i have this problem :
I think it is not bricked.. it boots the OS but it is so sloowww with stops everywhere, takes like 4times the time to open "settings" than before. and it does not turn the charge light on and is not recognized by usb port so it does not sync and i'm unable to re flash it..
What i did was to downgrade it with CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE
and then i stick the AKU3.2-1.0RC1
It has been cid unlocked by me yesterday and was working fine with another rom..
I was thinking of entering bootloader manually and then somehow flash it..
Please Help
thanks !
i'm glad i solved the problem.. just entered manually in bootloader then flashed a original qtek rom and it fine now
thanks anyway, hope this help other people in this very situation
bye
cheers from portugal

You can't go from 1 to 3. Re-flashing a stock ROM was a good move.

This topic has been discussed in length all over the forum. But, here we go again. This will be based on you having a G3 device.
1. Make sure that your device is CID unlocked. if not follow the sticky thread at the top of this forum. and read through all of it BEFORE you begin
2. make sure that you have ipl/spl 2.x
3. Now upgrade to any rom you want.

How can i upgrade my ROM if i could not connect my phone to the computer! The main problem is that i could not syncronise my phone and my PC.
enter bootloader mode... press the two buttons (camera & voice command) while resetting the device. you should get a screen that's red, green and blue. from there you can reflash your device. if that doesn't work, your phone is bricked

Thank you!!
Could you explane me a bit more precise what does it mean bootloader and reflash? Does it mean that i can syncronise phone and computer when i have RGB on my screen?
When you've got your device in bootloader mode just plug it in and start the upgrading procedure
_Nomad_, thank you!
It works now!!

I have an 8125 that I can't seem to get off of the RUU screen. It shows IPL 2.25.0001 and SPL 2.25.0001. Every time I try to use the HTC software update it reaches 95% and then errors out. Any idea how I can get this phone working again?
Thanks,

you have a G4 wizard, you need to install the wizard love rom. I believe if you read around, you may be able to find out where to find it. Also read some info about unlocking your CID and SIM for a G4 Wizard.

Hi there,
If you ever happen to get stuck in the IPL / SPL screen, try the following (it happened to me and I almost got a heart attack...):
"If your device doen't boot after flash procedure with my shelltool you should
1) Hold "Camera" while short pressing the "reset" button. Your device will enter in bootloader mode. You will se 3 stripes.
2) You should connect your usb cable to your device and pc and run RUU and flash this rom.

3) read my instruction once more and repeat all step by step. its very important!!"

Suggestion.
Go to IMEI Check, buy the unlock and have fun upgrading and downgrading your ROM.
It cost you some money but you can restore your device without to much trouble.
Best regards.

You can only unlock a G3 Wizard like that. G4's are different and have to be unlocked via imei check. The OP has a G4 based on their IPL/SPL they posted.
I can't seem to get my hands on this file. I've tried several places but no joy. Any thoughts on where I can lay my hands on the Wizard_Love ROM?

Got it and now the phone is working again!
So do I need to unlock the phone and install another ROM or will it work fine with this ROM?
Thanks, again for all your help!
T
Based on your original post, you have a G4 Wizard. You can't do the standard unlock like the stickies from Dr. P and Faria describe. You have to use the other sticky for installing roms with a CID locked phone. Your other option is to go to Imei Check and do their unlock (will cost about USD 40). Its all online (you give them your IMEI and some other info with your payment and then they send you the files to do the unlock). But even then, you still have to use G4 roms (so you need to be careful or you'll be back in this situation or worse).
BTW:I've never messed with a G4 Wizard so I'm only stating what I've read. Go read and re-read the CID Locked install procedure in the stickies to learn more.
ok, so I tried to upgrade to 1.56 (stock), and yes I now have the dodgy looking screen and phone is stuck in 'Phone Off' mode.
I didn't think I needed to do anything other than run the exe from HTC.
so, anyway..yes I'm screwed.
I've got the list of instructions from an earlier post about flashing 1.56, and am trying to follow them (seems my phone has Olinex1.14 on it - which I've never used as I've never flashed this phone before)
but..I can't connect to my phone, when I plug the usb cable in, I get the screen which asks me which type of connections I want Active sync, disc drive etc, but the screen on my phone is totally unresponsive. the screen then disappears and I'm nowhere...
If I can't connect to my phone, how do I run the file to flash back to 1.14 as per the instructions?
thanks
hm i would try it in bootloader mode?
USB

If you take the battery out and make sure the USB is not connected.
After a few seconds, put the battery back in.
Next press the down button on the side of the phone and keep it pressed, press the power button as normal.
Does anything appear on the screen?
Next, if you get the coloured screen with 'Serial' at the bottom, if you plug in the USB cable and connect to a PC, does 'Serial' change to read 'USB'.
If it does all of this, your phone is not dead.
I've had to try a different machine..which is working....thank god.
but the issue now is that our virus software is preventing me from downloading USPL2.5, is there another way to to use this file? I know that people have experience issues with this before (although not necessarily this particular file) and they have used a wrapper to bypass the virus protection pop up
ok..ignore that...I don't need it, my phone is not CID locked.
thanks to everyone though. I was in major panic mode for a while
I was going to try the Stock HTC ROM upgrade tonight, but my phone is an early Orange no splash screen or orange branding but it definately locked to orange....
do I have to unlock it prior to doing even the HTC ROM upgrade?

You may have to. Just try the rom upgrade. If it yells something about an "invalid vendor ID" just use USPL to apply the rom upgrade. If you need information on how look at the guide in my signature.
