Bootloader screen goes grey..... - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

I have a G3 wizard. I was stupid and trying to go from button's ROM to Crossbow reloaded. The flash ended up crashing somewhere in the 80% range. Now my wizard will rarely get into bootloader mode. I'm leaving the battery out for 5 minutes at a time. When I put it back in it will go into bootloader mode until I plug the USB cable in it and try to flash it the screen comes goes grey and I get a 260 update error..
I really hope I didn't brick this thing, It's my only connection and I have some important new job related calls to make!

mine is stuck on the flash screen
i have a g3 wizard and today it would not get past the windows mobile 6 professional splash screen (tnt rom). is there anything i can do. i tried reflash it but could not establish a connection. please help

Try holding the camera button while powering it on. Then put in the usb cable and flash away.

Do a Soft reset of the phone,if it works out,fine,otherwise do the Hard reset,although you might lose your personal data but phone will work out.
If both do nothing and it still gets stuck,then there's no other way except to reflash.
Which connectivity your not getting,If you are saying about Activesync connectivity,then you don't need Activesync connectivity to flash,get your phone into Bootloaders(multicolor screen) connect it to your pc via usb cable,when usb appears at the bottom of the bootloadermode,flash the Rom.
But if you cannot establish connectivity through usb cable,then either your usb cable is faulty or the mini usb port of the phone is damaged.

Looks like i've been threadjacked...can anyone help?

Which Windows are you at ? use winXP SP2,disable anti virus if any installed,also disable any firewall even windows own firewall.Disconnect phone from the usb cable and remove any sdcard if any.
Uninstall Active sync,Reboot Pc,open Windows Task Manager--->Processes Tab--->End wescomm.exe process.Reconnect phone via usb cable,get your phone into boot loader mode,check small usb appear a the bottom of bootloader screen and run the ruu...,hope it'll work out.
For Active sync connectivity,reinstall ,make sure no anti virus or firewall is running,connect phone with usb and let it synchronise.
Is your usb cable compatible,does it charge ?,if not,get a new usb cable. secondly, check if your mini usb port of your phone is working or it might be damaged.

Try this, on the 8125 run activesync, if you have partnerships there (IE. if the screed has "windows PC" on it), then go to "menu" on the lower right, then "Options" then select the "Windows PC" and delete it. Delete all partnerships that you have.
Then close activesync on the 8125 and go to "Start/setings/Connections/" and open your "connections". Do you have connections set-up? Make sure you have at least one connection set-up. Then close that and open your "USB to PC" is "Enable advanced network functionality" is the box checked? if it's not then check it (if it is then uncheck it), then connect your BSB cable and see if activesync on the PC will detect it.
If it does then set-up a new partnership.

Although it is possible to perform all actions with BT,like you do with normal active sync connectivity via usb,but No,You cannot flash a new rom through BT,you got to have a physical connectivity established between phone and your pc via usb and usb is shown at the bottom of the bootloader screen.Even during active sync connection,while flashing active sync is automatically disabled by the RUU and the flashing is still carried out by usb only.
crap... so the only logical solution that has left me is to give ppc to sum1 who will desolder/resolder the miniUSB connection back again... but still, i dont get it, i opened few times and i dont see any wire in miniUSB connector loosen or bricked... everything is fixed and on its place...

That's it !!!
there might be a tiny contact of the mini usb port which needs to solder,these tiny contacts are not sometimes visible to the naked eye,it can only be verified by checking with 'Voltmeter' and this can only be done by a person who has some knowledge about electronics repair and soldering.If you can do it,get a Voltmeter and can check the connectivity of all the five tiny connectors,good luck
dont worry i got this ****ing problem too
bootloader mode works but.....
I CANT CHARGE or CONNECT ON ACTIVE SYNC
BS!!!!!!
Mine will charge No Prob with both PC/USB Cable and Standard charger,PC takes FOREVER,It recongnizes a Smart Phone on both XP and Windows 7 but then says Not Installed correctly,No Drivers,ect. It has to be a Hardware issue with the Port or something,In "Comm Manager" there is always a "Check" Mark through the Activesync Selection,no way to get it to "enable" on the Phone Screen....Phone is not worth enough to hassle fixing it,it works fine,I have to use another phone to put stuff on my storage card,can I load windows 6.5 and unlock with the SD Card method?Thanks,Vegas

AT&T Tilt will not connect to compter

Good day all.
My 8925 has been working fine, until this morning :-(.
Now, I cannot get it to connect to the computer with the USB cable.
I have tried:
A second USB cable
A soft reset
A Hard Reset
A Hard reset followed by a restore.
I do not get the normal tones when the USB cable is plugged in or unplugged, But I do get a charge light, so I know it is making connection.
I cannot get ActiveSync or Internet Sharing to see the computer from the phone.
Any ideas before I send it in for service.
I have the ATT installed CAB.
Intermittently I get problems with connecting through activesync. Have you tried restarting your computer? Maybe something happened with the windows mobile services.
Try restarting your computer and soft resetting your phone. Once your computer has booted, connect your phone and just give it a minute. I haven't had the time to look into it beyond that. Hopefully that works for you.
i had problems until i connected my USB directly into my computer instead of a hub.
also, maybe try reinstalling active sync.
I am having the same problem, have Dutty's Touchflo Rom on my Tilt. My 8525 connects just fine, but the Tilt does not. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, reinstalled activesync, and nothing seems to work.
Try unchecking Enable advanced network functionality under Start\Settings\Connections\USB To PC

It is not checked, thanks.
Try checking it then
edit: I have had to use this setting in both modes for various ROMs to connect and sync with activesync. If that does not work Hard reset the phone and try both settings again.

Done all that too.
Guess I'll call AT&Ts not so technical dept.
You Ready Heres What happened to me.
First you need a magnyfine glass seriously, looke at the mini usb conector on your tilt. check to see that all of your pins are towards the top of the little plastic conector in the middle. (seems that in the dark while I was doing one of my many soft-resets I accidentaly put the stylus in the usb instead of the reset hole it felt the same becouse the plastic bends and it clicks just like a the reset, then you bend the pins down or towards the middle and they dont contact the inside top of the usb conector) check it out
it took me 3 days many soft and hard reset changing cables until I asked myself, How does that mini usb conector work anyway its still charging whats up?? You guys are gonna laugh but I bet it's the cause of many such problems.
first post little long sorry.
Thanks for the post. I was hoping, but that was nt my issue.
I had a similiar issue when flashing to a different rom. It would connect for a split second and then disconnect from activesync, but still charge the phone. I thought I was screwed until I found a way to reflash without using activesync. I was then able to reflash it back to the ATT rom and haven't had any issues since.
This is what I did (it might work for you). With the usb connected I held down the power button and camera button while doing a soft reset (similiar to how you do a hard reboot). This caused my phone to go into the tri color state for flashing. I then just ran the rom on my PC and it successfully reflashed my Tilt back to the ATT rom.
Regardless I hope you get things sorted out.

I am unsure what you are referring to here. The CD that came with the phone? Or a downloaded program?
How did you get it from the computer to the phone?
Thanks for the reply and I will try it.

May be bricked. Won't communicate w/ activesync.

Hey guys, today I tried flashing my TNT wizard to a Diamond rom. I got an error about 1/2 way through (on my computer) and the updater shut itself down. My device restarted, and is now in bootloader mode. It's connected to my PC, say "usb" at the bottom left of my device but active sync doesn't see it. What should I do? I can't flash it or anything because none of the updaters can communicate with the device.
Actually, it looks like button rom worked for some odd reason. Thanks anyway guys.
Activesync doesn't work in Bootloaders,but if small usb appears in bootloaders,it means its establishing connection and it can be flashed.

Cannot Flash the ROM on my Kaiser!?!

Ok heres the story,
Sold my phone on Fleabay, however want to unlock it from its grips of T-Mobile.
Before you ask i have had about 3 different WM phones all of them i have flashed..
Now with this phone everything is abit different?!? i install Hard SPL... Well it gets to the 3 colour screen goes to USB then will go to the progress bar sit for a while and then i will recive a connection problem...
Now i have tried unplugging the usb at this point and putting it back in at the 3 colours... i have done the same but disabled usb connection in active sync.. i then thought if im getting this boot loader it must be installed?!?

What does it say on the bootloader screen ? Is it unlocked and flashed with Hard Spl,? If so try and flash it from an SD card.

[Q] Trying to unbrick Kaiser

Hi All,
I've been running the Orange (UK) WM6.1 ROM for months/years without problems and was messing around with some texts and somewhere along the line I have ended up with the standard 4 stripes down the screen and some text top left.
I have scanned the forums here and the wiki and they suggest connecting using USB and running Mtty.exe, however whilst I can connect the phone using USB Activesync won't recognise it and then I get an error from Mtty.exe because it won't recognise the phone.
I have also tried re-intalling the Orange ROM as well as newer roms, but none of them seem to be able to connect to the phone.
Active sync doesn't seem to be able to connect on Win 7 or Win XP despite them syncing fine this morning.
So, any suggestions out there?
I'll do some more searching, but any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Try a new USB cable, I went through 5 in one year, or try flashing via SD card.
Well I tried a couple of different leads and no luck.
I did manage to get some info from mtty.exe, but didn't make sense.
I took my SIM out to use in another phone and having left the battery out for a while, put it back in to try again at getting it to start and it booted fine without any problems.
After a bit of messing around it seems like that the boot problem is either down to a problem with the SD card, SIM or a foreign object in phones casing.
I keep the phone in a pocket of my overals that I use a workshop and occasionally iron filings from a grinder can get into it's working, which is what I think has happened.
ANyway, it's back and working again, only need to keep it going until Orange can get some Desire HDs in
Hi!
Read those threads again,the solution is there.
1.Disable USB connections in Activesync menu (right click on green icon on the tray)-->connection settings-->untick "Allow USB connections"
2.Put your device in bootloader mode (yours is in it)
3.Start to connect it with MTTY to do what you want or just run an official Orange UK ROM update
If everything is fine,your device will be alive again.
After that install Hard-SPL to avoid problems like this.
BR
Scootie
P.S.:Sorry,I didn't read post #3,but it can be useful later.
One more tip:check the camera button.
Thanks Scootie,
I'll try the Hard-SPL thing - the jumping into boot loader seems pretty random, has happened a couple more times and I find I have to pull the battery for several minutes and then try a restart.
The camera button doesn't seem to do much other than what it is supposed to.
Pretty annoying since I have had the phone for 3 years, but have not had signal at home so hardly use it, and now we have signal due to Orange/T-Mobile merger from the beginning of the month the phone fails me :-(
