I have unlocked the phone using Lokiwiz tool..it restarted both times. I read and went through the guide referencing updating with windows vista...installed new drivers, etc. When I go to try to flash, it will go to the 0% page and then after a few seconds the program stops working and closes out. I'm doing this with a 100% battery. What am I doing wrong?

My best guess seeing as how I wrote that tutorial here(not my original work but I wrote the tutorial on the board) you probably botched something in the Vista Upgrading tutorial or are using an outdated RUU. You might want to re-read the Vista upgrading tutorial from my signature.

Hi,
I used to upgrade roms all the time on my 8125 and never had a problem - until a couple of days ago. I tried installed the wm6 "most beautfiul" rom on my ppc and it bricked my phone. After many attempts I finally realized that I needed to install the official cingular 225 rom (available on the site) in order to get my phone to work. Since then I have tried downgrading to button and to wizard love with no success. My ultimate goal is to get to WM6. I have tried unlocking and have read all the threads and followed the directions but I cant switch roms. Can someone please help me with this. I am getting desperate.
thanks

do you have a G3 or G4?
What are your IPL/SPL?
Which other ROMs have you had installed on this wizard?

So, you start a new thread with the same problem you posted in another thread hoping to get an answer??
My answer to you is the same one I posted to you before --
READ THE STICKY ABOUT UNLOCKING AND FOLLOW IT STEP BY STEP!!
Then -- and ONLY then -- will you be able to flash to a custom ROM.

Yep, I've replied to ecomajor's various posts in various threads and have basically given up. Very little info each time and having a problem that nobody else that has followed the steps has had.
Sorry ecomajor, don't know what else to tell you that hasn't already been said numerous times.
One Last Try -- Then, I Give UP!!
Read the following post on how to flash ANY Wizard (yes, that includes the 8125) --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1177659&postcount=1
Now, follow the directions in that post WORD FOR WORD and STEP BY STEP. The only reason it wouldn't work is that you're NOT READING and/or NOT FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP.
If you CAN'T read and follow directions, then don't be trying to flash different ROMs to your phone. If you're not willing to do what's necessary to help yourself, then noone else is willing to help you, either. . . especially when your problem has already been replied to with the same information over and over in 2 DIFFERENT THREADS now.
Let me detail you the exact steps I have taken. I have read through those posts, many times so I am certain I took those steps
1)device starts normally goto step 3.6 since unsure if unlocked.
2) read farias thread
3) download buttons rom
4)attempt to downgrade rom - failed
4a)tried 1.08 rom instead of button - failed
4b)tried wizard love- failed
5)download lokiwiz
6)followed all directions -failed - since was not able to downgrade rom.
Obviously these directions are not 100% foolproof - I know that the first time I tried installing WM6, I did not read through all the threads and after much effort I discovered that if I installed the official cingular 225 rom then I could get my ppc back working but since then I have had no luck getting flashing to work. Please tell me what I am doing wrong because noone has had my exact situation. there is no need to act all holier than thou and accuse me of not reading because since I screwed up the first time I have read through all these threads numerous times.
Ok, one more thing to try (shot in the dark, but I have no clue what is happening here)...
On your PC (its running XP, right???), do you have Firewall and/or Antivirus? If so, reboot your pc and don't start anything and then turn off your Antivirus and Firewall programs (I found a couple of threads where people were getting the error 260 when ZoneAlarm is active). Now try flashing the button rom. Don't try doing any other roms, don't try doing lokiwiz, just try to get the button rom on. If that works, then continue on with the steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
You might even try booting your computer into safemode and try flashing that way (I doubt activesync would be there, so put the phone in bootloader mode, and if you see USB above the left softkey then you should be able to flash it this way from safemode. Never tried it, but it pretty much eliminates anything that may be on your PC thats causing problems).
If none of that works, then get back to an official stock rom again and report back here with exactly what you did, what you saw, and all. Don't worry about the post being long, because to me, too much info is better than just short posts that don't tell us anything. Also, only update this thread. Forget all the other threads you have stuff going on about this problem.
Final question, I asked this before (and I don't remember if you answered or not)... Have you tried to flash your device from another PC?
And I've attached the ROM Update Utility Readme.doc that describes the error messages and how to fix them.
The weird thing is I never get code 260 with the cingular rom update just with the other roms. I will have to try the disabling all firewalls, antivirus etc at home bc at work there is all sorts of stuff i dont want to mess with. Problem if I do it in safemode is then the activesync driver wont be loaded and it will give me an error for that.

I've never tried it in safemode so I don't know if that will work or not, it was just an idea as we are grasping at straws here. But if you boot to safemode, and with the phone at the bootloader screen (hold down the camera button while you turn it on to get to the "rainbow" bootloader screen), if it shows USB above the left softkey then the computer and phone are communicating and Activesync does not matter. BTW:You can try the safemode way there at work as you will have no network connectivity in safemode so you don't have to worry about violating security policies.
You still have not answered my one question directly... Have you tried flashing the button rom to your phone on multiple computers? Or have you always done it from the same PC? And are the PC(s) that you are using running Windows XP?
What DOC chip does your device have? G3 or G4?
If you have a G4 then i guess you ruined your bootloader since G4 devices don't have and don't accept 1.xx IPL versions!!
I have tried button from multiple pcs. This time it gets up to 98% on button and then dies and it gives error 302 - update error for the button. This is a problem that I was having before.
Did you read the document I posted?? If you're getting Update Error 302, you're not going to be able to recover with anything other than the stock Cingular ROM.
Chances are that you did indeed ruin the bootloader when you tried using the ShellTool to flash a G3 phone. And I doubt seriously that you'll be able to do a warranty exchange if you can run the stock ROM successfully, so I'm afraid you're stuck now with the stock-shipped ROM.
So you are saying there is no way to fix the bootloader (like flashing it or soething) I was figuring I had screwed something up. I actually had read the document before but thanks for your help. Why is it that you can fix many other issues with the 8125 but not the bootloader?
I'm not saying it CAN'T be done. What I AM saying is that in the year I've been registered and active here, I've not seen any posts/threads about recovering from a bad bootloader. But that doesn't mean that there ISN'T a way to do it.
You might want to do a search of the Wizard section for bootloader error or recovering bootloader to see what might come up.
Good Luck!!

Hi, sorry if i open a new thread for problem soving, but i can´t find any solution for it and i really looked into the Dummies Guide! My SPL is 1.54 at the moment and i tried to put the 1.56 three times today, but it always gives me an "Update Error".
I go into the bootloader with the colors, and execute the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and follow it as needed. When it goes to the update Bar, maybe 30 seconds later it gives an Update Error on my computer (i think 262) and i have to take out the battery fom the HD. Then i can use the phone as usually, without problem. But how can i get the HSPL on it? AV is deactivated, sync isn´t lost. I seen somewhere anything about a protection in the forum, but i don´t remember where it was and in the dummies Guide it doesn´t say something about this.
The moderators at any time can close and delete my thread, if this problem was posted before, but as the forum is so big, i really couldn´t find anything.
Thanks

I guess you did not read the dummies guide carefully. Anyways,
1. Copy a file (Attached) to your SD card using your computer.
2. Go to that file in from your phone's file browser and run it,
3. This action would take you to the bootloader screen & would say SPL Version 1.07.Olinex.
4. Now attach your USB to the Phone. At the bottom of the screen you should see USB after a while (2-4 Sec).
5. Now Drag the ***.nbh file to the wrapper file (1.56 Olinex) from your Computer and your update process should start.
6. After sucessfully done this, Hard reset your phone (Twice Recomended)
Hope this helps.
If your problem is solved please acknowldege (Moderator please close this thread)
No need to panic, just follow tausifs advice and if you still cannot get it working, post your query in Dummies guide thread and myself or somebody else will assist you at their earliest convienience.
No need for another thread. Thread closed

Hi ladies and gentlemen!
I have tried and tried and tried to flash mi tilt, and no luck. I've followed the intructions(let me guess well if you followed the instructions then you shouldn't be having a problem? save it.) It's not working! :[[[[[[[[ It keeps giving me the error 262 update error. I did what the solution said to do which was to soft reset and enter bootloader, and i did that but still no luck. I 'flashed' wm6.1 i think well installed it from htc's website and it worked and stuff, but i hate it! It is so laggy when i text and it keeps going into sleep mode after 10 seconds or the backlight goes dim after 10 seconds i've tried fixing it with what htc says to do but it still does it after 10 seconds. AND kaisertweak wont work it says the file is corrupt; i've tried re-installing it so many times i threw my phone!!!! ;[ It still works but it has a dent on the side. It doesn't bug me Anyway, someone has to have a solution for all this! PLEASE!!! AND THANK YOU in advance. I also followed the instructions on 'flashing for newbs' and still no luck. If you need info on my phone here it is: WM6.1, (when entering bootloader with the power+camera+SR) 3.56, THE PHONE IS UNLOCKED(as in i can use t-mobile, verizon, etc.), and that's all i can remember lol. Oh yeah one more thing, i can't seem to get rid of the 'bloatware' :'[ I've tried many so-called 'solutions. :'[ no luck. HELP!
This is the second " help me with my phone " thread you have started in the rom development section. You are not developing a rom or aiding a chef in developing a rom. So stop starting new threads here. Your last one was locked, and so will this one. This is not the I'm a noob , help me section. If you are having a problem post it in the flashing for noobs thread. There is no problem that you are having hat hasn't already been addressed in that thread.
Have you flashed hardspl yet ? Which one 3.34, 3.56. 3.29. 3.29 cmonex ? Have you tried flashing from an SD card ? 262 is a usb error. Have you tried reloading activsync ? Have you Disabled anti virus and firewalls. Saying I've tried everything tells people nothing.

I FIGURED SINCE THIS IS BEING POSTED IN THE "ROM" SECTION I WOULD GET HELP!!!! OKAY!!!! JEEEZ-IZ!!!!!!!!!! Yes, i've tried and it doesn't work. i have no anti-virus things on this pc. i've tried sd card too. 3.56 idk. If i'm going to get attitude for posting in the wrong section then no thanks i don't need this XXXX from you or anyone else. XXXX
Mod Edit: Edited swear as no need for that and against forum rules
Moved as not ROM Development and in previous you was given some ideas, have you tried another computer? Tried hard-resetting phone? Tried another stock from provider or even better:
Posted in here:
Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
Maybe a better place to get help
Please post in correct sections no matter how you think you may get more responses.
Have you tried indenting paragraphs or cutting up your post so that it can be read?
Is it just me, I can't read that stuff?
So, if his phone is unlocked, is it possilbe his phone is already set to flash? I guess it depeneds on how it's unlocked.

You figured wrong, twice apparently, so Mr. Denco was showing you your failures in figuring. You got the "attitude" for posting in the wrong section TWICE.. When a mod closes or moves the thread, they explain why..
I am super new to this. I have 2 att tilts I followed a guide on this site and flashed them both to windows 6.5. both seemed to be working fine. My wifes had no sound though. So I searched and realized hers had an older radio than mine. I followed another guide here to update her radio. (I picked the same one as mine 1.65.21.18) I tried the sim card first and nothing happened so I tried it via sync. It got to 99% and errored. I followed the on screen commands and the second time I got 0% and errored. Now the phone is stuck in the multi color boot screen and nothing I do fixes it. I have tried searching and cant fix it. I dont know what mtty is. Please help!!!

If you are not sure how to use MTTY, please don't use it. This is a powerful tool and if its not used correctly you can definitely bricked your device. Try to read first of what you do.
I have spent hours reading and searching posts the last couple of days. If you have a helpful answer for me feel free to post it! I followed the tuorials exactly. Not to mention I already DID USE MTTY and it worked! Now I need to change the radio... All I need to know is if I need to run hard spl first or jump spl? The tutorial I followed just had me run jump....
PS. I don't need to become an expert I am only updating to sell these phones on ebay. You get more for them with windows 6.5. Once I get them working I am selling them and will never use these tools again. I switched from ATT to Virginusa and an android phone...
