Maybe some of you are already aware of this procedure, maybe not.
Anyway, it worked for me and I decided to share how to do it. Simple.
This procedure should only be used in case you really need enter into a bootloader mode and all other ways to do it has failed! Hold Camera button is one of these I am mentioning.
My Wizard was almost bricked at that time and after I speak with an I-mate technical guy, I got the following:
1. Make sure your i-mate™ K-JAM 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 i-mate K-JAM to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Don’t use the IrDA or 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 helps!
this realy worked for my (ex)bricked dutch tmobile mda vario !!!!
tip: REALY make shure that there is no wcescomm.exe running all the time and realy remove the sd card else is nogo
btw: my wizard is CID locked! and works like a charm
Thanks buddy!
I'm happy that worked for ya!
Take care!
I'm having a problem
The power went out as I was upgrading my Wizard (Cingular) so now it just turns on at the boatloader screen. I've tried running updates while it was in this screen (it did show the "USB" in the white bar) but most of the time it tells me there is a connection error. Even if I kill Activesync, I notice that when I run the update utility it still runs Activesync. I've tried disabling the USB connection but still get the connection error.
The only time I haven't gotten the connection error was twice it asked me to update but then told me I had the wrong file. This only happened when I tried "upgrading" to 1.05 as I was trying to start again. After it tells me that if I try running it again it gives me the connection error.
Any ideas?
Hi!
Have you already flashed your device once?
Which ipl/spl do you have?
I had problems over 1.05 ROM in the beggining.
If you stuck on bootloader mode, that's a good signal your device is not bricked.
I'd recommend you to disable activesync as you did and reflash it again! Check also if your device is CID unlocked! Search for a thread in the xda developers root.
Try to upgrade to ipl/spl 2.26 first and later to others you want.
Regarding the old file error...can be related to a missing file called enterbootloader.exe.
Hope it works for ya!
Take care

My device is unlocked as I've been trying different ROMs as of late. I had gone back to the Cingular 2.25 ROM for a couple days to sort some things out and was going to flash Farias AKu 3.3 when my power problems happened. My Current IPL/SPL is 2.25
I've tried flashing the TMobile 2.26 but keep getting connection errors. In fact, I've tried flashing with every ROM I have pdviet 3 and 4, CIngular 2.25, TMobile 2.26 and Custom 1.05. Everything (except twice in the custom) gives me connection errors.
Any other trick I can try?
BTW, I used to live in Sao Paulo years ago...
Edit: OK, so I tried the 2.26 TMobile ROM after I typed this and it worked!! I'm back up but I was having trouble with that ROM beause of some incompatibilities with Cingular. I'll go back to Cingular's ROM and play it safe for now.
I believe part of my problem was I kept trying different updates one after the other. Now that I think back, the 2 times I got the update to almost work was after I turned off the device and turned it on again, which is what I did this time around also.
I had the same problems as mentioned by Ironman before. I followed the steps and with a few slight changes, I managed as well to "unbrick" my wiz. THANKS A LOT for the great step by step manual!!!
Still I wanted to know WHY i bricked my device:
I was trying to upgrade to the underground WM6 ROM. I got the same situation as ironman:

I then followed the instructions by epimazzo as written above. I also tried the T-Mobile ROM 2.26 which was not working for me. PANIC!!!! Error messag was that I had the wrong Vendor ID. THerefore no upgrade to TMob 2.26 was possible. I tried it then my original qtek ROM in my language and see it worked!!! This IMHO means that I did not put the device in a proper IPL1.xx and SPL 1.xx status which is required for a clean system in irder to unlock it! So if it is bricked, try your native AKU2 ROM and make sure you unlocked it properly. Maybe you have to run the 1.05 ROM for a second time after the unlocking.
I hope this helps you guys.
Sounds great to hear that!
I had play around with pdaviet3, underground and another ROM just today without any problems at all. I don't think that this is the case. Now you get your device back to normal, try to reflash it again. Hope it works this time!
BTW,...São Paulo is a nice city. Thanks! Let me know if you decide to come here!

You did the right thing! Sometimes, use the official ROM can solve many issues out there!

Excellent post. I messed up with my own cooked ROM and could only get the bootloader screen. Tried the tips here - didn't work first time but I pulled the battery from the KJAM to reset it rather than using the reset button and it worked fine.
In my opinion this thread is so helpful to people who brick their device, it should go "sticky". Mods anything you can do about it?
Thanks buddy! I really appreciate!
We survive here over tips like that!

Help me similar problem
I upgraded Super Rom, then my Wizard run very slow and no signal (no call out and in- no network at all). And Terible thing is PC could not dectect PPC thought Active Sync. I've soft and hard reset but no use.
So I donot know where to start to re install Rom again.
Please help me....
Hi there!
It seems that you just need to enter into the bootloader mode and reflash it again!
I had similar problems and more during my brick "false" stage!
So, just try to follow my steps here and you should be fine! Once you get into bootloader mode, just use any ROM out there to reflash.

I was about to start a EMERGENCY HELP thread, but I *think* this is the right place instead.
The "touch" of my screen went dead today. It got progressively worse over a few hours, starting with difficulty in using the phone dialer, then random incorrect stuff getting triggered by screen taps.
So I hard reset, and got no response on the fifth alignment cross, meaning 1) "Tap on the screen...; 2) center; 3) top left; 4) bottom left; 5) bottom right. In that I could not proceed with alignment, I hard reset again, and now, at the first alignment screen, i.e. "Tap on the screen...", I have no screen response at all.
I called T-mo, and they are being great about sending a replacement ASAP (and getting me a loaner in the meantime).
BUT, I am running Faria+ AKU3.3 V2... so I clearly have to flash back to T-mo 2.26. I can;t figure out how to do it though, as no matter what I do I am stuck at the first alignment screen!!
HELP!! EMERGENCY!!!
(I have three or four days to get this done, so it's not THAT urgent)
Do a search for Broken Screen. Someone (either in Wizard Upgrading or in the Wizard forum) just had a similar issue with a cracked screen. They downloaded something that allowed them to get around the welcome page.
Actually, if you are just trying to flash a new ROM, don't even mess with it. Go straight to the Boot Loader screen (see the first post of this thread). No tapping necessary until the new rom is on (and that will be the Tmobile then so you would be good.
Thanks for the quick reply. Charging up to green now, and then will try to enter bootloader and flash T-mo 2.26. Will report back.
Worked great. Back to T-mo she goes!!!
BootLoader Mode
Excellent thread but you left out one thing.....exactly how to place your device in bootloader mode.
To clear up any misunderstanding because this is very important....this is how you do it:
Perform a soft reset, when the screen goes blank hold the camera button until a multi colored screen comes up .... That's it !!!!!!
When the unit is connected, USB is displayed at the bottom left.
Hi,
I just tried to flash a wm6 rom on my mda vario but at 99% my USB connection stopped so now I only see a red-green-blue screen when I put my mda on...
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I'm really desperate right now:S

Ok, so you are on the bootloader... Whats the IPL / SPL showing (exactly what both numbers are). When you plug in the USB cord, do you see USB above the left softkey (if you do, then you can flash). Is your phone a G3 or G4?
What is the exact error you get when you try to flash to your phone?
Have you tried flashing on a different PC? Have you rebooted your PC? Pull out the SD card on your phone before turning it on and flashing it.
In the WIki there is a link to how to flash from your SD card, if all else fails you may have to try that (but that would be a last resort IMO. Also remember that in the current state, your phone will not charge, so you may have to look at getting your battery charged.

The ipl is 1.01 and the SPL is 2.21
I don't get an error when I try to flash the phone, it just won't connect with the pc

1) Your IPL is 1.01. DO NOT flash WM6 on this phone. You have to be running IPL / SPL of 2.xx for WM6 to work or you will have all sorts of problems / weird issues.
2) What do you mean "it just won't connect with the pc"? When you are at the bootloader Activesync will not connect, but if you see USB above the left softkey on your phone then they ARE connected. You just run the RUU and it will flash (trust me).
3) Based on your IPL / SPL you have 3 choices...
a) Try flashing the Button ROM and get that working. Then do the CID Unlock procedure and follow every single step and verify everything is exaclty as that thread says it should be:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
b) Flash an official ROM. Once you are done, you may or may not have to do the CID Unlock (hard to say with your current IPL / SPL situation). Personally I'd do the CID unlock again to be safe.
c) Flash the Wizard Love ROM (if a and b don't work). Once you do that, then do a to do the CID Unlock.
If this still doesn't help, then you need to be very precise (no more short answers) with exactly what you are doing and what happens when you do it. Its hard to debug this situation when you don't tell us everything. Also you dd not answer any of my previous questions to you. Please do that.
I am having the same problem with a Cingular 8125. I used buttons 1.05 rom to downgrade from the original 2.25 so that I could use the Lokiwiz 0.2b. When that was complete I had IPL 1.01 and SPL 2.25 (similar to dantheman). After that I ran faria's WM6 RUU. All seemed to install well, but after reboot I got error "\Windows\Autoconfig.exe not found". Searching a forum on HTCWizardWeb someone had the same problem and the advise was that he should have used ShellTool to install the WM6 rom, so I did that. All seemed to install well, but after hard reset (as instructed) the device stays on the IPL/SPL screen with the beer mug. No USB message shows above the left softkey when USB is connected. The only time the PC seems to recognize a USB device connected is when I have uninstalled ActiveSync, rebooted, re-installed activesync and plug the wizard in not powered up. Then the taskbar shows USB device found, then your device is ready. I try the 1.05 rom after is says device is ready and it does not detect the wizard (Error 260:UpdateError, The update util cannot connect...) Noted that when I plug the wizard in powered on to the IPL/SPL screen the USB device connected message does not appear. I can only get to that screen and connectivity seems limited.
At this point when i do a hard reset I get "format failed" error and back to IPL/SPL screen.

Your phone isn't unlocked. How are you hard resetting? And you are sure you have a G3?
--M
You didn't follow all the directions for downgrading. Go back and reread Dr P's sticky, but after you do lokiwiz, you have to flash the button rom again so that both IPL/SPL are 1.xx. Then you HAVE to upgrade to an official 2.xx rom to get IPL/SPL to both be 2.xx.
Only after that is complete can you flash WM6 or other custom roms.
Thanks for your help...
You guys are right, I didn't follow all the directions correctly (or at least wasn't reading the correct set of directions, not sure). But for those that made the same mistake that I did here is how I got it going again.
It actually cost me $50, but it was worth it. I found a post about a fix using an SD card, but the phone had to be CID-unlocked (which apparently was the reason the ROM update I tried failed). And another post told me the only way to unlock my phone from the bootloader screen was to use the www.imei-check.co.uk website to unlock it. It cost $40. After i did the CID unlock via that website go to the forum post -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963&highlight=splash+screen+freezing
I had to buy a 512mb miniSD at wal-mart last minute and paid $20. Anyway that's what fixed it for me, even though it cost me some money.
At 56%, the desktop went to a blue screen and said an error had occurred and the system must be restarted. The screen asked if I had installed any new programs, check with the adminstrator, etc. The only program recently installed is the program for this ROM revision. When it crashed, the phone had a completion bar in the top 1/3rd, showing 56% completion. The rest of the screen was white. I restarted the desktop and was unable to establish a sync connection. I then preformed a hard reset on the phone. When it restarted, it showed 4 color bars, red on top, green, blue and white at the bottom. Since I cannot restablish a sync connection, how do I finish the modification. I am now concerned that I have "bricked" the phone. I am reluctant to try this mod on another phone until I can determine what went wrong.
Adding additional info
My phone is a G3, CID and SIM are unlocked, desktop is using Windows XP, SP2 and ActiveSync is Ver. 4.5.0
phone isnt bricked, your getting into bootloader fine. you need to turn it on, get it into bootloader i mean. if needbe press camera and soft reset (power button) then plug it in USB. You then need to flash your phone with the operator ROM, or the ROM you want to flash it with. Your phone is by far bricked, G3 ones are really difficult to ruin. I learnt that first hand

I just had this happen to me as well, I got stuck a 29%
Now when I get to bootloader it shows the IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26 and also a RUU in the top right hand corner. Plug in USB and I get USB at the bottom left but then when I try to launch the RUU with the rom I want to flash I Invalid update tool, download new tool... It wont "Verify information on the device"
**EDIT
Nevermind, I just got Titanium to take... I may be ok... I think the RUU in the vanilla download I got is messed up or something...
Currently ripping through the rom update now. Damn I just got this phone yesterday I was gonna be pissed if I killed it.
Okay, I have the tricolor screen with IPL 2.25 on the left top of the red bar, SPL 2.25 on the left bottom of the red bar, RUU on the right top of the red bar and USB on the bottom left of the screen.
I push the camers button, do a soft reset and launch the ROM update. First window says "Verifying information on your PDA phone. Please wait." After a few moments I get a window that says "ERROR (300) This update utility cannot be used for your phone. Please get newer update utility."
If I try again, I get a window with "ERROR (264) CONNECTION" And an additional message about the USB connection not working. I am using a USB charge/sync cable and not a cradle.
What now?

does it go to bootloader mood ? or u force it to go bootloader by keeping camera button pressed and doing soft reset ?
well,after geting to bootloader mode,don't reset again just establish usb connectivity and when it show usb in the lower part of the bootloader screen launch ruu and start the flash.if it still stops with an error,post that error,then it means u had a bad flash or no flash at all.are you pretty sure you got it CID unlocked ?
tell you what you do,go to this link download WST tool and apply it,than post the data info it gives here,this will give the present status of your phone,ok

G4.1 Does you're device start normally (yes) or is it stuck on the three-colored bootloader screen (no)? YES... go to step G4.4, NO go to step G4.2
G4.2 Turn off you're device totaly. Remove the SD card and disconnect the USB cable from you're device. Turn on the device while holding the camera button. You will get into bootloader mode (3 colored screen). Connect the USB cable to the computer and you will see USB at the bottom of your screen above the left softkey (Activesync will not connect in bootloader mode, but you can flash from this screen!). go to G4.3
G4.3 Download wizard_love rom and flash it to your device. Your device should startup again after doing this. Go to G4.4.
G4.4 Is your device CID-unlocked (note: it's not the same as SIM-unlocked!)? YES... go to step G4.7, NO OR DON'T KNOW go to step G4.5. (note: CID-unlocking a G4 is only possible by paying for it at imei-check!)
G4.5 Download enable-rapi.zip. Transfer Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab to your phone. Run Cert_SPCS.cab FIRST and EnableRapi.cab SECOND. Turn your device off and on or wait 5 minutes before soft resetting. Done? Go to G4.6.
G4.6 Follow this great thread by the-equinoxe: [solution] G4 SoftSPL Flash any ROM to CID locked G4 [UPDATED] and load the softSPL on your device using his method. Make sure you take a G4 safe rom (see the thread for details). After the steps you'll have the rom of your choise on your device!
G4.7 You're reade to flash the AKU2, AKU3, WM6 rom of you're choise IF the rom DOESN'T contain IPL/SPL. AKU3 and WM6 roms normally don't contain IPL/SPL. If you want to flash an AKU2 rom, make sure you take the G4 version. If you get an error 300 (invalid update tool) while trying to flash your device look at this thread!
NOTE: If you tried to flash a G3 rom with IPL/SPL in the rom on a G4 you probably will have a bricked device! DON'T flash the new 3.08 and 3.09 IPL/SPL to your G4!
NOTE2: If you got problems flashing with softSPL: Follow this great thread by mun_rus: Solutuion found: how to flash any rom to CIDLOCKED DEVICE. If your device won't start after flashing you can use step G4.2 and G4.3 and try again. Also look at this thread by eddieitman: Faria G4 Step by step installer with instructions to make sure you did all the necessary steps!
Crashed during flash
It has been suggested that I download Wizard Service Tool. OK, I did that. The Wizard Service Tool says to connect to ActiveSync. Can't do that. Phone is locked in Bootloader. It boots up into Bootloader. Any action requiring ActiveSync won't work as long as the phone is locked in Bootloader. Any suggestions as to procedures at this point. Remember, that trying to flash the ROM at this point, I get a message 300 that says I need to get a newer update utility.
Crashed during update
It has been suggested that I flash with wizar-love rom. Did that. Got a message 300, my phone need a newer update utility.

go to the G4 section and look for the HardSPL thread. Once there get the MUNRUU file from first post and use it with the ROM you wish to flash as it might do the trick of the ERROR 300
crashed during flash
It was suggested that I go to G4, first thread, HardSpl and down load file, munruu. Didn't find any such file. Went to second thread, by mun_rus, but was unable to download file.
My 8125 is locked in bootloader and I don' know what to do.
I still need help!!

download latest Official Rom from carrier official site, establish usb connection while in bootloader flash,it will start working,after that follow the procedure of unlocking and upgrade
or if you have put in Sdcard,remove it and then switch on the device,it might get ok.It's seen in many cases that some Sdcards create problem while upgrade and bootloader screen gets stuck,by removing it,it starts to work fine
good luck

I'm talking about the, so called, 'MUN RUU' which are the files used to upload the nk.nbf. You just have to replace those for the ones you're using now; NOT THE nk.nbf, just the others...

The SIM card was removed.
Hope this helps

For instance, if you are (like me) with TmobileUS, go to the Tmo site and go to the page that gives you the download to rom 2.26. I have that rom, if you are with Tmo, but won't be able to upload it until later...
http://tmobile.infospace.com/tmweb/...wnloadCenter/DeviceDownloads.aspx?deviceID=24
THAT^^^ is for TMOUSA...it is the official Tmo rom. If you are with cingular/att, you need to access their website and download their official rom, etc.
ok, im inbetween a newb and a full out destructive force to any type of moddable device and im having a little bit of trouble with my cingular 8125. ive had this phone for a few months and i am having the hardest time dealing with the rom on the phone now. ill give a quick breifing on it:
got it with original cingular rom, not sure what spl or ipl on it but the first thing i did was unlock it by myself, cid and sim unlocked, and then updated to a jaguar wm 6.1 rom which worked fine. decided i was going to unfortunately sell this phone so i decided to upgrade it one more time to see if i really wanted to sell it, i then bought the upgrade to go past my 2.21 ipl and spl. i got my unlocker and followed my instructions and got a brick. but not a full brick. its stuck in the bootloader screen. after reading countless threads, i learned that i should be able to just still update a rom to the phone with no problems which actually works, but as soon as a rom completes it goes right back to my bootloader screen so help me! please cuz now thats its a challenge again, i want the phone! plus all my info is on the phone still back up
Flash the official stock ROM first, then use Button's ROM to downgrade your IPL and SPL before unlocking CID.
post the present IPL/SPL it displays now.Which rom you are trying to flash now ?
ok when i try to put the most current 8125 rom on my phone (2.25.blah) it tells me that its not the same phone which is weird but thats preventing me from putting the original rom on the phone. however if i try and put the buton rom on the phone now, it will go through completely and say it put it on the phone, but when it restart, its right back to the bootload screen...
and im running IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21 with a previous installation of a jaguar rom, dont know exactly which one, but i know it was a jaguar rom. but right before i tried to upgrade the updater, i went back to my default WM5 rom so i guess it was te basic 2.21 rom on the phone with WM5

WEIRD !
You got mixed Bootloaders of G3 And G4,IPL 2.21.0001 is G4 and SPL 2.21 is G3,as you posted,well,can't say which was original,only you can tell,but some how its mixed Bootloaders,in this situation no Rom will flash,its a 'Brick'.
If as Zabardast says its bricked then you have three options:
1. Get a new Wizard
2. Get a new Wizard Motherboard
3. Get a Wizard with broken LCD from eBay and replace its LCD with your current one and Enjoy!!! (Cheapest)
lol this is tough! but no worries, ill be back with some other pda at some point and time and then ill try and take this phone apart! but the weird thing about my wizard is that this only happened when i tried to update the phone with the CID unlock program that you have to pay for!
lol it was perfectly fine until i tried to do it! oh well, back to my crappy p168!
May be that CID Unlock program was not meant to be for a G3 and you were updating a G3 so it mixed you IPL/SPL and caused a kinda BRICK. So please be careful before doing flashing things because if you dont be carefull then your PPC may become a heavy paper weight, and a costy one too. LOL. TC

Cingular 8125 problems
Ok guys i am really pissed i have been looking for three days and cant find it, first off my IPL is at 1.01 and the SPL is at 2.25 and i cant fix it i wanted to install the original 2.25 again and start from scratch but can not find the damn thing so if anyone has it can u just upload it fo me and give me a link that i can get it at please i am sick and tired of waitnin i really like this phone and i dont want to risk bricking it thanks.
Ok, grimgod, aggression is reaaaallly ugly and no freakin one will help with that sh!t attitude (pardon the language, mods). The senior members do everything they can to help the noobs. Have you tried reading the flashing guide, wiki, or tutorial? I'd bet even money you haven't. Have you CID unlocked? Did you flash the button rom twice ( as the guide suggested to get ipl/spl both 2.xx)? Did you flash the official tmo rom (found im the flashing guide)? Have you done anything other than sit on your hands and wait for it to be handed to you? READ AND SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831 <HERE!!!!!!!!!! Should I flash your device, too?
Similar issue... need some Wizard Expertise
I picked up a coworkers old Cingular 8125 that he'd had in a drawer for about a year. Battery was right dead so the phone wouldn't boot. I charged the battery on an external charger for a few minutes, put it back into the phone, and plugged it in to the charger until the LED went green indicating a full charge.
When I power up I see the T-Mobile splash screen (light gray background, some square dots, and the "T-Mobile" logo). And there it stays indefinitely.
Tried a hard reset (Comm Mgr + Voice Cmd + Soft Reset), and it said "Press Send to restore factory default". Pressed the green dialer key (I assume that's send), and it says Format FAT partition, FAT partition complete, and then returns to the same T-Mobile splash screen and hangs there.
So then I tried putting it into Boot Loader manually (Power On + Camera). No problem, shows IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26. Plug it into the computer USB port (running XP Pro), and then the USB connection shows on the phone. Attempted to flash the Wizard Love ROM to get this thing back to square-one. Error 260. Attempted to flash the T-Mobile stock ROM. Error 260.
Between each flash attempt, I'm pulling the battery out and starting fresh. I think I've followed all the steps I'm finding in multiple threads. But for some reason I'm not able to get this thing to communicate via USB. All RUU's give an Error 260. Am I missing something?
Forgot to mention I'm following the steps outlined in this thread from Dr P. To the letter!
Also did a little reading up on using the MTTY method in this thread by Drug_Store. Thought maybe the existing ROM might be intact, and I might be able get it to a 256MB MiniSD, then write the backup ROM from SD in boot loader. Well, for some reason I don't even see the USB connection option when I use the MTTY - can't ever get to a point where I can issue commands. Again, I think I'm following the instruction. But still no juice.
Nudge, nudge. I'd donate for a solution that works... otherwise I have to keep letting my 10 year old play The Quest on my phone.
HELP PLEASE!!
Ok so i think i bricked my wizard!
I have the t-mobile MDA wm5 unlocked g3.
I've flashed it to the WM6 Rom and everything had been working well, except there was no MMS feature on the phone at all which sucked! . My girlfriend thought it would be better if she did the "windows mobile update" icon feature that was on the phone to speed up the phone....She downloaded the updates & my phone shut off!! When it rebooted everything seemed normal...
1st.
T-mobile screen
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811
-Then i get the green windows mobile splash screen, but after i get an error message!!
*Device Authentication*
“Device authentication failure. Please contact the product manufacturer. For reference, please provide your device ID.
3563820017905901 38000050bf3f5173”
Ive tried to boot in safe mode to try & flash my phone again but for sum reason my computer wont recognize my phone is plugged in! What do i need to do?!? Please help, any help is thankful!
is not a bricked wizard men
easy men easy... but please tell to your girl dont push everything that she dont nderstands... Everybody knows that upgrade official is only for original OS like windows XP or VISTA..
Firs of all
Put your Wizard on bootloaders mode... plug in via usb the PC Active sync wont recognize your phone.. then run the original shipped Stock ROM and then your Coocked rom...
But if the PC at the same time you place your Device on Bootloaders and plug it via USB... shows a pop up message that said Windows cant recognize your device or unknown device or something... Restart your Pc... Hard reset your PDA... and replug your Device as I said it before... if not check your USB cable maybe a broken cable failure...
IF NOT?????!!!!!!!! then Use another PC with XP!!!!!
If it still on his not reconized message you are in serious problem but your girfriend Too...
Good luck
Easy..."Device Authentication failure" is caused by your ROM. Just flashing another custom ROM and the message should go away.
I'm surprised that the chef that made your WM6 rom left the Windows Update feature in there, it was bound to crash a cooked rom, since the update service never worked properly anyway.
I'm sure flashing another rom will resolve this.
yeah, flash the rom (you might want to try WizFlo 20273 v6.1.1.3 - i'm on it, and loving it). heck, you can even do a hard reset and that would probably resolve it.
