I'm trying to fix my friend's MDA right now. The problem is, it's stuck on T-Mo splash screen. It can however go to tri-color screen. Can I save this MDA or should I bury it?
Any help would be appreciated
Hi!
At the tri-color screen you should be able to flash it with a new ROM. Just try it, that worked for me after a failed flash.
Cheers

I just had the same problem myself, talk about ****ting my pants.
I have a Dutch rom in my Vario and I cid unlocked it and tried installing
a US rom but the phone was dead after it.
In the tri-color screen I tried to load the new 2.26 US rom and then the latest UK rom but both failed with invalid Vendor id or something like that.
So I downloaded the NL rom from here and thnk god it loaded without a problem and the Vario is working again.
Sadly in Dutch but at least it works again, can anyone from Holland help me upgrade to the latest US rom ?.

Encountered some problem..
It would not connect to ActiveSync from tri-color screen. There is a 'USB' at the bottom screen when I plug in the USB cable, but I don't think the PC recognizes the device.
And the thing is my friend has never CID unlock the thing
He said he just took it overseas and never turned it off, when he got back here the phone went like this.
More help please

PC doesn't need to recgonize the device via activesync to flash the Rom.
Try and find your original rom.
Put the phone in the bootloader (canaryscreen aka tri-colored screen).
plug-in your usb plug.
And start the rom update utility.
Regardless of your activesync status it should start updating your mda.
This takes about 10 minutes, and will pause at some stage, don't be alarmed and don't pull the plug !!!
Good luck

It's recomended to go back to the original rom, so you can go back to the point before the problems began..

In canary-screen mode the phone will have an active usb connection, ActiveSync won't detect it however, because the ActiveSync software on the phone is only started when windows-mobile is running (which doesn't occur in boot-loader).
The Rom Upgrade Utility, should be able to detect the phone.
But always make shure the battery has been charged (at least half-charged).
Several people on this forum have revived their semi-bricked phone this way.
Thanks :wink:

Guys,
I just tried to upgrade to a new ROM on my Cingular 8125. I have upgraded from the original rom to a Mr. Clean AKU 2.3 Rom a while back. This time I tried to load Ell's AKU 3.2 Rom.
Anyway, my computer locked and restarted during the flashing process (99%)
My phone turns on and shows the colored bar screen (is this called the bootloader?). This is all it does. I'm not sure how to try and fix this. I'd like to try and reflash a rom; however, if I try to do that I get Error 260. This error says it can't find the phone which is easy to understand since Activesync can't connect since the phone won't boot.
HELP!

i had this very proglem... TURN OFF THE PHONE ASAP.. as the bootloader screen will drain your battery very quickly.... reset computer and phone... plus in the USB cord.. and in the booth loader screen in the lower left corner.. you should see USB!!! just flash workin room.. and you should be set to go.. i believe>.
When I plug the phone in it does show USB in the lower left corner; however, The rom update utility can't see the phone.
Am I doing something wrong or should I be trying to install the rom in another manner?

hmmm i dont know... try restarting both devices.. other then that i cant hlep ya.. im still new to this...
USB means it is connected.
Again, keep the battery out when you aren't doing the flash. Reboot the PC in case the link is down.
Try flashing a stable ROM, like the Mr. Clean one you used before. Activesync doesn't need to operate, the ROM will see the wizard if the wizard says USB.
Zonealarm actually interferes with my ROM flashes, although it prompts me to see if it is ok; you might turn off your firewall prior to doing the ROM flash. If you do so, disconnect from the web.
I have also the same problem with my XDA 2 mini or the other called this the HTC Magician. I try to UPgrade my Radio 1.03 to 1.12. and when im applying the upgrade procedure the Upgrading stops and error. What happen now is my XDA 2 mini or HTC magician doesnt open now. only the word "SERIAL" and when i plug the USB, the word "USB" show on the screen................... Is there some one can help me pleasssse with my problem....

Always post the data of your your phone,to get help.
secondly you had a bad flash,perhaps your phone is CID locked. Which rom were you trying to flash ?
Now to recover,download the official carrier's rom and flash it while in bootloaders.The phone will start working again in default status,then,Read and understand the unlocking method and the flashing guide,read the stickies carefully and perform the method correctly.
cheers !

If you can go to boot loader, most likely you will be ok. When you plug in the usb port, does the words in the screen change from serial to USB? Once it changes, then flash your official, and then CID unlock your device (this is different from SIM unlock). Then flash to the ROM you want!!
PS: Go read wiki about how to unlock and flash and understand more about your device. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard

kevinalmere...
How did you resolve the issue I'm having very simular problems and believe it's my Vista OS causing the problem..
Orange SPV M600 G4
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 4.0.0.0
Sorry should explain my issue incase anyone can help.
I attempted an upgrade to WM6 using an Upgrade .Bat from this site. I was slightly impatiant due to not being able to complete the downgrade first anyway the upgrade frose, after a while I canceled the update and carried out a hard re-set... Since then I'm not able to boot nor connect to my desktop via Active sync (WMDC (Vista))
I've followed every instruction I can find but only to be meet with RUU Errors saying can't connect or file open. I can however acces my Bootloader screen and when connection is made the USB symbol shows on the screen of my phone...
Any help would be greatly recieved......
So i just attempted to flash my tilt.
These are the steps i did.
Used Jump SPL 1.56 Kais
Then flashed a Kaiser Custom RUU.exe
everything was good at this point.
I then attempted the Kaiser SUperCID tool
when i did the unlock radio is when the problem occurred. After initializing and completing the screen turned black and does not display anything after the 3g sreen. I have done several soft resets and am attempting to do a hard reset with the soft keys but all it does is restart the phone....
i am not able to do a hard reset via sys>clear storage since no screen is displayed
this is what my phone does show
the tri color screen is this
kais1*0
spl-3.28.Hard
cpld-8
and it says security unlocked above all of that.
The ATnT screen shows this
R 1.70.Olinex
G 25.65.30.04h
D 1.62.00.00
please help
You need to follow step 0. Too late know. Which includes having an actual "RADIO" ready.
1.70OliNex is not a Radio. Thusly the Device can't load the Phone. Find a Radio and Flash it
Oh And Count this as your Freebie. Next time Search for your answer. And if you don't find the answer this should have been posted in the SuperCID thread.
Thank you kind sir. Off to look for a radio

Before you go off.
Here's something to try. The SIM/CID Unlocker do not work with the stock rom and you should have put hardspl on there.
Setup activesync and make sure that it detects your phone. As long as activesync works, you should be able to flash the stock rom and radio on the phone (even if the display is blank).
1st use jumpspl
then put on hardspl (read and follow the hardspl instructions)
then upgrade to 6.1 ROM
Then Unlock
then reflash with the rom of your choice with the matching radio
you should be good to go.
well i finally figured out the hard reset, which i did. It booted up and i was able to do the screen alignment etc, but once i was on my actual home screen it CUSTOMIZED and loaded a bunch of who knows what and back to the blank screen...
well i do have hard spl 3.28. I will try again....Im also not sure if my phone is 6.0 or 6.1

If you have hardspl on there, then just flash one of the cooked roms on the phone. I loaded the L26 Rom and it works great. It will include a radio firmware and is compatible with the SIM/CID unlocker.
the question i have is how do you flash without being able to execute the program from the phone? How am i able to execute it from the active sync?

Have you connected it to the computer via usb? Does activesync see the phone? You won't see anything on the phone itself until you correct the problem. As long as the computer activesync sees the phone you should be able to flash it from the computer.
I had the same issue
Just follow the steps
get the SIM unlock code from the computer
then flash a "real radio"
Once it finishes and boots up
it will ask you for the sim unlock code
AND VIOLA!!!
got it going
flashed it from my mini sd card after fat32 formatting it.
works like a charm
Thanks to everyone
Hi,, I have used shelltool to install TNT 6.1 from wizlove all went smooth
Then i decided to try a different radio so flashed 02.71.11 from o2.37.11
all went smooth no problem,, It wasnt a day and I had to get rid of 02.71.11
so tried flashing to others and ruu loses conection on status bar and screen goes into the tri col mode,, since then I have tried to do hard spl and it gets as far as the white screen and then ruu says lost connection, so I used shelltool to flash back to wizlove but after reboot stuck on splash screen
I can get into the tri colour bootloader screen the usb shows but cant get any connection to ruu
Im G4, ipl 2.16.0001
spl 2.16.0001
gsm 02.71.11
os 2.26.10.2
help me please head is sore from reading too much
Thanks
What IPL/SPL it displays now and which windows are you doing on? If its vista it won't work.WinXP is highly recommended for HardSPL.Don't use Shelltool go for HardSPL or SoftSPL.

ipl spl as posted,,,,,I have already used shelltool to load TNT and then I tried to run hard spl but ruu says lost conection on white screen so I used shelltool to go back to wizlove but on reboot it is stuck on splash screen, and Im on xp
Ah ! yes,its G4,ok,HardSPL won't work in Bootloaders (tricolor) it'll only work if working OS is running.
Which windows are you on vista or winxp ?
Im on xp,, but as I have posted Im now stuck on splash screen
It is almost bricked
So try to reflash an original ROM dont install wizlove (it wont be a diference but...) in RGB try to run the RUU from original EXE package id dont works is almost bricked.
Try to get a backup from another device fully functional following the steps indicated by Drug store on splash screen stucks solution DIY thread if dont works or you dont have a backup Minisd so try the MTTY...
I am CID locked G4
Download Official k-jam stock rom from the below link and flash it in Bootloaders,recover back to default status and than proceed further:-
http://www.imate.com/Support_DeviceSupport.aspx
G4 devices cannot be CID unlocked like a G3 phones,in this situation only official stock rom will get flashed,it contains IPL/SPL for both the devices,it shud flash and work.Than after recovering back ,Apply 'HardSPL' to semi-CID unlock the phone and upgrade to any wm6 rom,don't use Shelltool,it sometimes creates problem.
I don't think Backup rom through minisd with MTTY will work in this situation, but than, thats me !
OK I got the official rom, but same problem RUU says it hasnt got a connection the phone is in tricol boot load at this time, I think the issue is how to get a comunication between the RUU and the wizard in in Tricol mode surely someone has an answer on this?
OK.... it seems to be your PC...
When you plug your device via usb in the pc port the dev shows USB bottom left on screen... ? Does the PC shows you "Unknown device, please intall the drivers... or has a bad function"?
The USB cable... maybe your battery is low.... maybe the USB PORT... i dont imagine anymore problems... Try to get a full batt.. other USB cable and other PC XP of course... and retry.
OK a glimmer of hope,, I switched to another usb port windows loaded driver etc, then i ran the official rom ruu and,,,,,,,,,,,,,invalid ID cant run this utility,
does this mean I need the original software and how would I know what version that was,,,,,,,,cause I wasnt making notes
DAMN!!!!

FIIIUUUUU!!! it seem that you have comm conection betwen the RUU and the device... but Wrong ID?
Download the file zabardast told you... it is from your carrier.
If this is the one u have tried...
so try another one... from Tmobile prodigy 2.26... or from qtek 9100 2.19 official Stock ROMS.

hmmm,ok,download this RUU attached and extract it, replace this RUU with the RUU in the official rom and run this RUU from the Rom,hope it'll flash.
Or,download the K-jam official stock rom from here :-
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/K-JAM_WWE_21...20710_ship.zip
I tried all that and still not getting anywhere, constantly the same problem re connection I do get the found new hardware when trying different usb ports but the ruu complains " no connection" I cant seem to get what it did before in terms of getting further to the point where it told me invalid ID I will have to try another pc with xp but dont have one handy
Might not be bricked..
check out this thread, it might be of help
