We can't really help you if you can't at least get into bootloader.
Are you sure your battery has some charge left in it?
Have you tried removing the battery for a few mins then re-inserting and re-powering?
Have you tried a known good battery (one from a friends device or one that you bought from a store?
Does this rom contain G4 bootloaders (ie. was it available when G4 devices hit the streets)? If not you may have flashed G3 bootloaders into your device, in which case your device is dead.
You should only flash G4 safe carrier roms (T-Mobile 2.26, Cingular 2.25) to a G4 device.
If you are ever in doubt as to whether or not a rom is G4 safe you should extract it and repack OS or radio only and make sure that IPL/SPL are not included.

thx for your answer.
i am sure, that the battery has some charge left.
i have no other battery.
i think i have flashed G3 bootloaders into my G4 device.
is there any possibility to reanimate my wizard?

unfortunately if that is the case your at the mercy of a repair shop. The only fix is to have the Mainboard replaced. If you are still under warranty and have made sure that there is no way it will boot up at all under any circumstances you can try to take it in and see if they will replace or repair it. Of course if they get it to boot and see that you did something like flash a custom rom they will charge you full price instead of handling it like a warranty replacement.

Why did you flash a PRODIGY rom to a Wizard? They are compatible in some ways I heard, but I am not sure if they are flashable without doing extra stuff.
Try taking your battery out and plugging in the AC cable... you should get the LED to light up..
Then put the battery back in and put the AC cable back in.. then boot into bootloader mode and flash to official CINGULAR WIZARD ROM...

I believe that Prodigy was the name given to the Wizard while in development stage. This means that the RUU you see hanging around mentioning Prodigy upgrade are apropriate for Wizard because they use same uploader utility (NOT the ROM)

I have the same problem. IPL and SPL 2.15.00001 and tryed to downgrade but after restart it does not power on. Tried everything but no way to power on. Is somebody know how to make it work again.
Regards,
You guys tried to flash a G3 Rom on your G4 Wizard.
So your bootloader (IPL/SPL) that is 2.xx.0001 is overwritten by a G3 bootloader that is 2.xx, so in other words....your devices are bricked.
Please someone, correct me if I am wrong.
Molski
yup, I agree. Bricked hopefully someone can fine the JTag on these devices.
Wow that sucks! Full moon over Miami last night, naw that can't be it .....
Sorry but unfortunately I must follow my Grandmother's advice concerning when I don't have anything nice to say...
R there NO ALTERNATIVE WAY for THIS?? HOPE we can help those people that made a mistake by upgrading to a ROM that doesnt fit to their WIZARD. due maybe because of TOO XCITEMENT they forgot to CHECK FIRST(PLS! ALWAYS CHECK FIRST) their IPL/SPL.
HOPE those master GURU's can do something!
So, please someone tell clearly how to know G3 or G4 of the Wizard
thanks so much
Sorry but I have no more tolerance for people who just jump in first without doing a little research. A while back when the G4 first came out we didn't know. Now everyone who puts out a ROM warns people about the possible consequences. And there's so many threads on just the first page with tales of woe... how can a person miss them all??
I'm sorry but my parents raised me to take responsibility for my own actions, as Baretta used to say" Don't do the crime if you can't do the time"
Similar to when a Cat 4 hurricane is coming at you and you don't leave after being warned.... then blaiming everyone but yourself...
And if anyone wants to rebute me on this, don't bother as I've neither the time nor the patience.
Bottom line is that flashing phones has the very real possiblity of trashing an expensive piece of hardware in a very short period of time. If one has any doubts, then they shouldn't do it! And if a person doesn't have a concern initially then they're asking for trouble.
Sorry....

The problem is that if your bootloader (IPL/SPL) is fuc*ed up, there is no way to get it in bootloader mode to do a flash!
Only known solution is with JTAG connector, but that solution is not a clear solution yet, but I dont know nothing about that solution (simply...because I never needed it).

I knew I have a G4 and can't upgrade/downgrade with G3 roms or even change IPL/SPL, but I did that :]
Just found ROM v2.22.1 (I think), like my original Wizard's was. I was so happy that I found it, that I forgot about G3 chips existence 8)
Well, ROM was for G3 -_-
Just ran too fast and slipped. Maybe I got that speed after very often Pioneer BCT 1430 flashing. It is just immortal :]
well i know about the G3 and G4 but the rom that i downloaded from doesn't say anything about support G3 or G4 thats why i consider this rom doesn't included IPL and SPL just like the custom rom been make from other member.
Damn now i have to send my phone back to factory for fixing it. Lucky i still have a warranty of it.

I do feel for you. I believe that the best thing that we can do is to not even make G3 ROM's available to the general public. Maybe all new ROM releases should be IPL/SPL - less. If one needs a ROM that will upgrade their bootloader they'll have to request a password protected file.
I just dunno...

Qtek 9100 half bricked
Hi Molski
I'm new here.Just 'd like to know if you could support me on this matter.
Here we go...
I've flashed my 9100 from wwe to esn (spanish) with the ROM 1.3.7.5 or something like this.
This is the problem...I got a power failure in the middle of the flashing process.So now the device isnt able to start up it didnt install the OS properly.
Now it says:
IPL 2.24 (i managed to flash the ipl n spl)
SPL 2.24
OS 1.3.7.5
But I'm pretty sure that there's no OS watsoever because after keep trying flashing with other ROM in bootload mode.I finally managed with an Orange of 34 mb it updated the ROM,that is the IPL And SPL and with the process was running I've noticed the screen got blank and updated it properly.I was realy happy when I saw it but even though it did it properly I still got the same problem.The pda doesnt start up.When I flashed it for the first time I did it with care,followed all the instructions,that is, unlocked the CID first etc.But had the damn joy of getting a power failure in the middle of it.
I'm just wondering if one of you would be able to gimme a light on it.I've tried everything but flashing it with a G4 ROM coz I know it wont work.

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.

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!

If it still turns on I don't believe its bricked. When it isn't responsive, doesn't show the three color screen, and doesn't charge or anything like that. That I believe is a true brick.
a bricked phone means a lot of things
it could mean the flash has gone wrong and failed to flash the radio rom
it could mean the flash has gone wrong and failed to flash the OS
it could mean the flash has gone wrong and failed to flash the ipl
it could mean the flash has gone wrong because you have just tried to flash a g3 rom onto a g4
If you want to know if you have screwed it up completely flash the original rom that came from your mobile provider and see if it works, also try explaining in better detail what it is that happens and what it is that doesnt happen when you switch it on?

actually the phone doesnt charge or turn on
take the battery out and leave it out for twenty minutes then put it back and see if it will turn on.
what were you trying to flash to the phone and what happened ?
btw if ipl and spl are not the same this does not mean it is bricked
Also if the battery ran out charge it via a wall charger not via the usb lead. Have you tried taking the battery out and seeing if there is any charge in it?
I just stick my tongue on the contacts, not very technical i know, but at least you can tell if it is deaD or not.
umm..i tried to leave my battery out for an hour but still wont turn on and charged using the wall plug but still woulndt charge. dunno what to do, but some ppl told me to get a new battery , and i just oredered 1 online, but the last screen i saw was 3 color screen with diff ipl and spl versions, and scared the **** out of me, that was after i flashed a bad rom(dont no if its with ipl/spl) then it changed my spl number then iflashed back using love rom, then it woulndt boot affter love rom, so i took the battery out(dumb move) and plugged it back in and it wont boot, i mean turn on, tried camera button, reset button with the pen or that softreset. i really hope its the battery..
but the battery was fully charged before the flash, so im sure that there were at least 80 percent power left..
Actually, if you can remember the original IPL version with .0001 at end of it and your tried to flash a G4 wizard with ROM that with only G3 IPL/SPL, then it is a brick that you can't charge nor switch it on.

ummm. i think the ipl/spl was 2.26.xxx then after the flashed it changed either ipl or spl i forgot, but the number was 2.21.xxx.xx(i) there was an"i" after the number
so u dont think getting a new battery would make it turn on again?

I don't agree with this. For me, a bricked phone does the same as a brick: NOTHING!
@joco2560
So only the last one of the options above is the one to make a phone into a brick; which is what i believe happened to your phone. (which i already answered in the other thread)
ummm. i think the ipl/spl was 2.26.xxx then after the flashed it changed either ipl or spl i forgot, but the number was 2.21.xxx.xx(i) there was an"i" after the number

Then there is a very high possibility that your Wizard is a brick now because many bricks are formed after 2nd reboot with incorrectly flashed IPL and SPL.
There are no known easy way to recover a brick, so...be ready to get a new phone or to replace mainboard.
Dear Mestrini, My g4 cid unlocked wizy, felt in water. Now after a cleaning it starts with the boot screen. I flashed back with love rom and the process goes fine up to the end. By the way when it starts goes back to the boot screen. I tried to hard reset but when I push the send button nothing happen.
What can it be?
thanks!

It can be a LOT of different things. That's why no repair center accepts a phone with humidity or that fell in some sort of liquid.
I would advise to open it and dry it with a hairdryer or hot-air station but to be very very careful with the distance not to fry the PCB (main board)
After that try to flash it with the original/official ROM (full ROM) a number of times to see if it recovers

Do I have a bricked Wizard??

Hi, I was trying to flash/upgrade my Wizard to WM6.1 (was able to do it once over the weekend). But got over-confident and was trying to do it second time (ofcourse use some other cooked rom) but during the upgrade, my kid pulled out the wire from the computer.
If that was not enough, in a panic mode, i actuall did a reset on the wizard. Now it wont even start (no lights light up nor I get the 3 color screen = bootloader.).
The time when my kid pulled up the USB cable, I was "upgrading" to 2.26 after having successully downgraded to 1.xx ..
I fear I have bricked my wizard...is there anything I can try before having to spend 40-50 buck and get to cell repair estimate? I tried hard-reset (Camera + Power On), (Green + Red button + Power), Communication Button + Voice Button + Power but nothing happens.....
Sorry but i guess your Wizard is a brick, the only solution is that you get a new motherboard or a new Wizard. Feel Sorry to say that but still dont go on my advice let some other senior member say something too. Maybe there is a way i dont know and anybody else does.
did you have a full battery?do you think your battery drained through the process?try charging the battery in some other way or try another battery...if that doesn't do the trick....you need a new motherboard.....
G3 phones are very stubborn devices,its very hard to 'Brick' it ! They don't get Bricked in this way ,unless you really do stupid thing and flash a Rom with G4 IPL/SPL.
Here,you have a dead battery,just try to charge it fully ,somehow, or borrow another battery from a friend,or if you prefer,buy a new one,as it comes with little charge to start and boot up the phone and even sometimes flash a rom.
Apart from this,I don't believe its Bricked,G3 doesn't get bricked like that,by being interrupted in the middle of flashing or resetting it.

What I believe he means he was upgrading to IPL/SPL 2.26 by flashing T-mobile,after downgrading to 1.xx by Button's Rom,while flashing,it got interrupted and in panic he reset the device,now can't power Up the device.
Well,interrupted during flash or resetting doesn't brick a phone.
secondly,Bootloaders IPL/SPL are automatically downgraded/upgraded by flashing a Rom with IPL/SPL when flashed.
Unless,as I posted above, if he has flashed G4 IPL/SPL or a G4 Rom with IPL/SPL,it wud certainly brick a G3 device.But as he said he was upgrading to 2.26,means,he was flashing T-mobile,so I believe,it cannot be bricked this way
OOOPS!
On second thought,did he mention its a G3,well,what if its a G4!!!
and he flashed Button's Rom............. GONER!
I assumed its a G3,coz he posted ipl/spl 1.xx and 2.26 and he already got it upgraded.
hi thanks for all the info.
Before the upgrade I verified it have more than 60% battery (arround 80%). I had got a new battery and charged it 100% overnight before i tried the first upgrade.
Its a G3 phone (It showed 2.2x a did not have following .000 which show for G4).
I had downgraded using the Button ROM and was upgrading the rom using WST write ROM.
So is there still a chance..
I can try and see if anyone's got a HTC Wizard within my friends/around and try to charge the battery in their phone....just to make sure its fully charged

I wonderfully and utterly stupidly did exactly that !!! I wrote a G4 rom on G3 Wizard !! It turned on once after the procedure and wm6 loaded all the "extras" and then re-booted... into complete darkness !! Now it's completely dead nothing turns on, not even the green charging light. I left it for a couple of months and the red light come on briefly... but that's all. Now it stops the papers from flying off my desk .... it's my funeral and I'll cry if I want to (
I honestly feel sry for it,but may I ask which was the rom which you say is G4,which you flashed ? coz all official roms are suitable to flash to both devices and custom build roms do not contain IPL/SPL in them,which cud harm any device,its really questionable as which was this rom which bricked a G3 phone,if you are sure your phone is a G3. YES! its certain that if a G4 phone is flashed with a G3 specific rom,it'll get bricked,was your G3 or G4 ?

I confirm my Wizard is a G3 device and the rom I accidentally wrote over it was a G4 rom (I since deleted it from my computer to ensure I would not repeat the mistake) ....
So, there are G4 specific ROMs floating around out there? Now that doesnt make a whole lotta sense. I thought that all carrier ROMs where G3 (and to an extent G4 safe), and that all cooked ROMs where G3 and G4 safe because they dont contain IPL/SPL?

After G4 came out, the providers started releasing ROM packages with two bootloaders and a new RUU that would detect the device DOC generation and flash accordingly. If you extract an 'official' ROM you'll find IPL_1, SPL_1, IPL_2, SPL_2, etc... which means G3 and G4 respectively and therefore safe to flash to any Wizard in the market (minding the CID status of course)
As for G4 only roms i believe that might be a few around that were cooked in a time when the "G4 safe" concept wasn't yet implemented and when one would flash a complete ROM and upgrade IPL/SPL at the same time.
Nowadays, since Wizard official development has ended, almost everyone has a 'high' bootloader and only needs to change the OS version/flavor thus the absence of IPL/SPL in a released cooked ROM
Hope it's clear
cheers

Father, embrace with your arms this soul of a dead wizard and let it rest in peace in the Pocket Heaven Amen.
More Respect please HAHAHAHA
what a funny men!!!!
I bricked my phone too!
Hi there! I think I have the same problem. My phone is a G4 and it won't boot to bootloader mode nor charge in a wall charger. I had my phone unloacked and during the process, my phone shut down. Now it's dead. Is there a go around for this problem? Thanks.
Hey Guys,
I've got a similar thing, think I might have flashed a G4 file to a G3 Wizard.
I have, by following through the "Let's Revive A Wizard" thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=274766) been able to get the thing to boot into the bootloader screen and show IPL 1.05 : SPL 2.26.clip I think from memory and then flashed the 02 ROM but then it just boots back to the bootloader.
I also tried an SD backup from my other G3 and followed that through but nothing.
I think there is a way to revive using the methods shown, but there appears to be no more help relating to it and I'm out of ideas myself.
If anyone has a IPL & SPL file for 2.26 can they post it for me to try.
Thanks.

Wizard Brick after Flashing the ROM

Hi!
I have a T-mobile MDA and I flashed its ROM using SOFTSPL to WM6.1. It worked fine. It showed IPL and SPL 2.xx or so. I flashed it again using SOFTSPL and when I reset the phone, it never come up again. The battery was charged over 70%. The phone does not switch on now nor it shows any symptoms of any life. Can't put the phone in Bootloader mode.
Hope anybody of you can help me out of this. Awaiting anxiously for the support.

"2.xx or so"? A big first step would be to know if you have a G3 or G4 device and what ROM you flashed to it.
If you had already flashed it to WM6, why did you flash it again? What software did you use, sounds like you've used the G3 software on your G4 wizard though..
in first you must to download official ROM (see on xda-developers ftp). Enter in bootloader mode ( press "power on" + "camera" and reset), connect to PC and run downloaded file.
And read other posts to indificate G3 or G4 lock.

I think that it was G4 and I accidently flashed it with a G3 Rom update.

Actually, I was testing different cooked versions to determine what is good for me. I flashed the phone a couple of times and finally did flashed with some ROM which resulted in the current situation.
Now, I am not even able to switch the mobile on. No response when I connect it with PC.
I don't know what to do now. Any guidance on this issue.
Regards,
Haque

Oh my god. Few posts above is what to do! Can you read? Can you search? If you are in bootloader you can flash your wizard. But first you should know if your device is G3 or G4 because the procedures are a bit different. Second for both you need to download your stock ROM. Third if you know which type of device you have, you can flash following and understanding the tutorials for each device...
