Hi to all that can help me, i just flash the rom yesterday night that i have download and its completed the upgrade and go into the screen and running the installing of the program that come with the rom.
after the full install and the device restart without any more power and picture show.
I have try to charge the battery with wall charger and also replace with new battery but still no power.
Is that mean i'm flashing with a wrong rom and what should i do now.

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...

...which is one of the reasons why carriers make it so hard to flash a ROM from one carrier to the device of another.
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.
Regards

Molski[/QUOTE]
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.

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?

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!
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.

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...???

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.

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.

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!

Your fatal mistake is reseting your phone...it wasnt done flashing yet. The RUU(flashing prigram) often hangs up near the end for 1-2 minutes, and then it completes. I would say that you need to get your phone repaired now, seeing as if it wont even power on, that its more than likely damaged the bootloader:/

Always post the version of the phone and which rom you were trying to upgrade with ?
Check your battery,is it fully charged or working.Its always recommended to get the battery fully charged before flashing.
It might be due to discharged or dead battery that it doesn't power on,first confirm the status of the battery.
If the battery gets charged or working,get the phone into Bootloaders (multicolor Screen),if it gets there,its safe.
i try a new battry but there is no power my device is wazard g4 and i upgrade with black diamond 2 after i unlock my device (i dont remember the no but at the end there write olip)
i think that i need a new device becuase there is no light on charge when i plug in the adapter and not start when i press the power button
thanx alot
If your not intimidated by working on your phone, you could try buying one off eBay with a broken LCD and using the motherboard out of it in your phone. Worked for me and now I have a G3 instead of a G4!
what does it meat when i unplog the battry there is flash light from the screen
can any body explane this

Ok, Perhaps you applied HardSPL and the it must be displaying IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.olip, Right ?
And when you tried to upgrade Black Diamond,it got stuck up on Bootloaders or it was working on Black Diamonds ? you say, your computer hang up and phone got stuck on Bootloaders,did it hang up while flashing ?
Did you actualy flashed 'wizard_love rom,or you were planning to flash but it got stuck.
Why I ask all this is coz,if you flashed wizard_love,your phone is HardSPL,,it'll get bricked with wizard_love rom as it has IPL/SPL in it. But if you didn't flash wizard rom and it goy stuck before that,than,its a dead battery.
