oh god i think i bricked my 8125

so i upgraded to t mobile 2.26 and it worked fine..then i tried to flash the underground wm6 and it stalled out at 96 percent and errored...now im stuck at the boot screen with IPL 2.25 and spl 2.25 ....when i try to run the RUU it give me error: 260 or 274 connection or update error...
i dont know what else to do...anybody have any suggestions? please help!

Please read through the Wiki before posting.
Direct link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard#upgradings
There are several suggestions there on reviving a possibly bricked phone.

i did try that already to no avail...currently i am trying to use the shelltool to flash it..it picks up this info: version 2.26.10.2 device wizard lang. WWE brand HTC ...CID n/a ROM...N/a...says this should take more then 15 min..ill update on the progress....i really hope this works:-(

BTW:It really helps if you tell us what IPL, SPL, OS versions you are on (those numbers that show up when you reboot). Also what type of phone you have (G3 or G4).

im sorry...it says 2.25 for both...however on the shelltool it says 2.26 so i dont even know anymore..
i did follow that tut....the problem is..i cant seem to flash from the bootloader screen...the RUU wont flash to my phone..it gives me an error when its checking phone info...o and its a G3 phone..(to the best of my knowladge)..when i started my rom was 2.25.11.1

Why are you doing shell tool with a G3 (I've seen where some G3's have been bricked with shell tool is used on them)? Did you try to flash the Wizard Love ROM? That seems to help in a lot of situations.
So again, more info helps. What is the exact error you are getting. And what rom are you trying to install? Is your phone CID Unlocked? May be worth trying to go back down to the Button Rom and doing the CID Unlock again.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
i dont know what was wrong..really..i just restarted my comp...and downgraded to a stock rom..and it worked fine!
man you have no idea how much i was freakin out..
thanks for all your help! i really appriate it!
time to try again

Hi
its not dead if you still have a bootloader! all is not lost!
what you need to do is download the official update for the phone, the OFFICIAL t-mobile/cingular or qtek one
boot the phone into bootloader mode
plug the phone in
run the update as normal just let it go through
and all should be good!
good luck!

Thanks Duke...

Thanks again

and where i can found it? on phone bootscreen i can see this:

Wizard stuck at splash screen!!! DEAD!

Hi,
I accidentally flashed a not CID unlocked wizard with Black Diamond rom using a ShellTool - now it loads only till windows splash screen!
It is G3 device - it allows to flash Buton rom, also MiniSrom and others - process bar goes to 100% but windows doesn't boot anyway!
What options do I have?
PS. I guess I'm one of the guy who have bricked the most devices ever - this one, 3x HTC Tytn, S200, etc.

Need QTEK 9100 German Rom - the wiki links are dead!
Can anybody please advise where to look for Qtek 9100 german rom?!!!

Have a look for the SD Card Backup method - see also in the wiki for reference/link.

hi, thanks for the replay!
How does the SD card method is supposed to work? Do I need a backup of the old rom? I don't have one!
The phone is NOT cid unlcoked!

After a while playing with the Wizards I have found some things - I got 4 wizards by now - and I have managed to brick 2 of them.
First thing to recommend to all - if your Wizard is running and everything is fine - then don't upgrade - you don't need that brick. Trough if you try to upgrade and you can't get from wm5 to wm6 - then probably you should stop trying unless you want to brick your device totally!!!!
Now I have one Wizard G3 probaby not CID unlocked with IPL 1.01 / SPL 1.03 and different OS versions - I can flash button Rom, Wizard Love etc. but nothing changes, just the version of the OS. I have no GSM and the IPL stays 0.01.
The second one - seems to be CID unlocked - allows to flash any rom, IPL changes, SPL stays at 3.08 - can't downgrade, OS changes - can't boot!
I can flash these units forever, I can change bootscreens - but I can't get back to windows!
This happened when I tried to use ShellTool to flash WM6 on my Wizards - don't do that!!!!
Can anybody tell me why I'm not able to boot OS if I have the Wizard Love rom, button rom and other full working roms on my wizards?
Thanks!
PS. I'm starting to consider to donate a few devices to someone who could try to solve this - I could donate: 3 HTC Tytn, 2 Wizards, 2 Prophets, 2 Alpine etc. - is anybody interested?

karlux - I'd be willing to take a crack at the devices you have and get some good documentation going for everyone. I have successfully revived Wizards, Apache, Wallaby, and the Hurricane so far.
PM/Email me if you want my address to send the victims ...er ... I mean "patients".

donate? how about sending one my way?

How come you have that many devices ? What's your job ?
Your "dead" wizard is not dead. Only stuck. Get it into bootloader and re-flash .

Shelltool isn't dangerous if you use it properly, meaning you can't flash WM6 if the IPL/SPl are still in 1.xx
To use the SD card method and the phone is CID locked then i recommend using imeicheck's tool to CID unlock (must pay) and then try that method.
As for the donation, i wouldn't mind geeting a Prophet as they are related to the Wizard and in case it could be recovered i could try to make a similar tool to WST: the Prophet Service Tool
let me know if you'd like PM or other means of contact...
cheers

sorry-thread hijacking-
I have a similar problem, i (thought) i had CID unlocked my wizard, followed all the instructions, about reflashing the rom's went to 1.05 the to 2.26 & then IPL & SPL to 3.08 in an attempt to flash WM6..
all went well until the last step & it got to 99% of flashing WM6 & came up with a communication error (battery is fully charged!)
Now im stuck in bootloader, & can't re flash any other roms, tried the wizard with love & 1.05 again ...noting doing... have i made a complete brick ??
HELP!!!!!!!
edit, just tried with the O2 offical upgrade...it started to load on but came up with Error 296 Upgrade Only, the NBF file could not be used...

TRY THIS .... I just recovered from a similar stuck in BootLoader issue.
Steps to recovery:
1. Fully charge your phone (VIA Power Cord ... NOT USB)
2. Get the phone to bootloader (three color mode) - by soft resetting and holding the camera button at the same time
2. Connect it to the computer (Windows XP) with a USB cable
3. You will notice "USB" written in a lower corner of the phone (this means it is connected)
4. Download your providers ROM (The "real" rom provided by Cingular/ATT). You can get the one for the 8125 from HTCAmerica here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8125/software-downloads.html
5. Stop ActiveSync (from Task Manager)
6. Run the program downloaded in step 4. This will reflash your phone with the ROM. This seems to be the ONLY WAY possible to reload a ROM from BootLoader.
Enjoy!

Thanks, i;ve tried that with this software & the o2 software....i get the same error message both times...
Error296 UPGRADE ONLY,
This NBF File cannot be used on you PDA Phone,
Please get a newer NBF file.
WTF is a NBF file, where do i get a newer one from & how do i get it on the device!!!
thanks

Hey!
I believe,as u have mentioned in ur earlier post that u have upgraded to ipl/spl 3.08,therefore all the official roms r not flashing.Well its not necessary to upgrade to ipl/spl 3.08 to go for wm6.All the experts & cooks in all their threads have mentioned to upgrade to ipl/spl 2.26 to have a stable/strong working plateform, so now I wud suggest u to plz try to flash Buttons's rom 1.05 and get back to ipl/spl 1.05 than onward upgrade to ipl/spl 2.26 by flashing t_mobile 2.26.
If u r able to get back to ipl/spl 1.05,than again use lokiwiz to confirm CID unlock,hope this works out. U can also use the latest WST tool by mestrini to check the status of ur wizzard as if its cid locked or unlocked.it can also be used to unlock cid,goodluck

I just want to add that you MUST stop at 2.xx bootloader when downgrading from 3.08 to 1.xx, otherwise you might end up with a 'locked' SPL in 3.08

you need donate the device ....

Problem

Hi, first of all i want to say thanks to all the community. I unlocked and upgraded my G3 device thanks to this forum.
i have a friend who installed jpchme windows mobile 6 spanish rom over the previous rom (i don't know wich version was).
I told him he try to install 3.08 rom but the program didn't recognize any connection with the phone. My mistake....that's the problem.
And now his pda is stuck at bootscreen loader with IPL and SPL 1.08. But we don't know if it was a G4 or G3 device. I know....1.08 means it's a g3 device but is there any chance that the pda was a g4 device and when he installed windows mobile phone the ipl and spl appear as a g3 ?
What should he do ?
thanks

But know i have a friend who installed 3.08 rom (for G3 devices) directly (without installing button rom before) and now he's stuck at bootloader screen. While the rom was installing it crashed and say connection error. Now we don't know what to do.
The IPL and SPL numbers are both 1.08 but he doesn't remember wich numbers appear before, so is there any way to see if it's a G3 or a G4 device in bootloader mode ?
thanks

Fortunately for your friend, yes there is. In bootloader mode, it displays your IPL and SPL. If they look like this, 2.xx then it is a G3. If it looks like this, 2.xx.xxx1 then it is a G4 and if he tried to flash IPL/SPL 3.08 which is STRICTLY for G3 devices, his device may be his new favorite paperweight.
Give this a try. Find and download his carriers latest Rom. Pull the battery out of the device and leave it out for about 2 seconds. Put the battery back in and then hold the camera button while pressing the power button. This will put your Wizard in bootloader. Flash his carriers latest official Rom and that should get him back to WM5.
Hopefully this works for him but if it doesn't then he may be screwed. On the other hand, if it does work for him, do him a favor and make him read read read before he tries to flash the phone again. I hate to see a Wizard turn into a paperweight because someone was too lazy to just read first.

thanks for the answer! now it shows 1.08 IPL and SPL. But if he has an g4 device and flash with 3.08 rom wich is for G3 devices, what would IPL and SPL show ? are you sure that if it show 1.08 now it's a g3 device ?
oh, and here we don't have any support from carriers so can he install button 1.05, then 3.08 and then some windows mobile 6 rom ?
thanks

with IPL/SPL 1.08 it shud be G3 device,try to download official carrier rom from the website and flash in the boot loader mode,by carrier means,the rom which it came first pre installed with,which version of rom was installed before he flashed ipl.spl 3,8,was it t-mobile or cigular,that wud be the carrier rom,download from it's website and flash,or you may try to download t-mobile 2.26 or wizard_love_rom and flash,it may do the trick.good luck

'so can he install button 1.05, then 3.08 and then some windows mobile 6 rom ?'
well, if it's a G3 and it shows ipl/spl 1.08,then button's can be flashed,but make sure it's IPL and SPL both are 1.08.but if it's like IPL 1.08 and SPL 3.08,than I'm afraid,it had to be flashed with official rom to bring it down to first ipl/spl 2.xx---> 1.05.Don't directly flash button's 1.05 to bring it down to ipl/spl 1.05,it'll brick the phone.download the official rom or T-Mobile 2.26 which also is a stock rom and flash.

damn. i don't know why i told that he installed 3.08 rom.
he installed jpchme windows mobile 6 spanish rom over the previous rom (i don't know wich version was).
I told him he try to install 3.08 rom but the program didn't recognize any connection with the phone.

Ok relax,if ipl/spl 3.08 was flashed to a G4 device,it'll brick the device,it won't go into boot loader screen.As you say that it goes into boot loader mode,than cool down he's safe cuz due to different Os version being a spanish it had a bad flash,nothing to worry.but remember a G4 device will never show an ipl/spl 1.xx no matter what happens it always will show 2.xx.xxx1.
Just as I have told you to download official rom or T-Mobile rom and do the following :-
1. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC and remove the dummy card or SD/MMC card
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cable (Don’t use Bluetooth for the Upgrade)
4. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.
Hope it'll work,good luck

cingular 8125 frozen

I have a cingular 8125, which he tried to change the language and damaged, no longer switches from the first picture, just shows me:
ipl 1.01
spl 2.25
gsm 01.12.10
os 1.5.4.2
the cells had WM6 now for more roms to try to get there is always the same, do not let me hard reset, and will not let me do a backup with mtty. Please help me to recover my 8125, thank you for now .......

I think that you tried to flash a not ''official'' rom that you found without CID/SIM unlock your phone .
If so start from reading this guide.-
