Hi there,
never thought this could happen to me [/irony]
I wanted to flash my G4 Wizard (IPL/SPL 3.08) to the last official ROM of T-Mobile Germany (AKU 3.3)
The flash process got stucked at 99% for hours and now my phone only boots to the three-colored bootloader.
No problem I thought, flash again. I plugged the cable and I saw "USB" on the display (there never is "serial" on the display, if this is for interest)
But now: no flashtool would find the phone.
Sometimes when it's found (seldom), it says that's not the right utility. I tried a RUU..._noID.exe I found here but this only got "no Connection"
I tried flashing from Vista, XP and 2000 SP4.
Please help me.
Did you do the HardSPL? If you did, when you tried to put the official ROM from T-Mobile, it tried to put the IPL/SPL from G3 on your phone, since the HardSPL makes your phone a fake G3 (something like that). You have to remove the IPL/SPL info from the official ROM's otherwise you get stuck.
There's hope tho, since you can get to bootloader. You can try the miniSD flashing method, meaning, there's no connection to the computer
See here how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963&highlight=minisd+flash
Thank you very very much!
it worked!
Glad I could help

I flashed my 8125 which i thought was a g3, but clearly as it hung at 99% of the flash It is a g4 that has been flashed with a g3rom..... now I has read about some users reflashing their phones... how do i do that since i can no longer establish an activesync connection? i power up the device... shows the color coded screen (ipl 2.24 spl 2.25) there is a USB text in the grey bottom section, but windows, and different flashing exe's don't respond to me plugging/unplugging the device. Please help
8125 help
whats the trick to get into the bootloader? i've tried reseting, and pressing the camera button a dozens times now, now help
I think you have to hold both the voice messaging button as well as the camera button to get into the bootloader.
In your first post you were already in the bootloader -- "color coded screen" as you put it. First thing. Take the battery out before you discharge it too much to continue. It cannot charge in the state you are in and will discharge very quickly until useless.

if you see the USB in the corner of your bootloader screen you should be able to flash a G4 compatible rom back into your phone from there.
Just boot the phone so that you can see that screen and then start the install process on your computer. You will need a ROM that doesn't include the bootloader. So make sure it is a G4 compatible ROM.
I by no means am an expert but I was recently in a similar situation with my G3 (flashed a 2.xx rom that didn't include a bootloader with a 1.xx bootloader)
and this is what I had to do because I couldn't connect to Activesync, or communicate with Windows in any way with that messed up flash.
I'd try flashing the latest stock 8125 ROM from here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/docs/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
ahhhhh yeah
okay... i was confused about just what the bootloader was... and i was in the bootloader... thanks for the help several attempts at detecting the device didn't work... i tried with summiters Cingular_Custom_AKU2.3_Combo_Installer_V1.exe and it finally detected it... which i guess means i have a g3... anyway all is working now, thanks for the help
Hi, I also had problems with USB after 3.2 rom update. I always get a USB not recognized and I can't flash with any exe ROM. Even in bootloader it was not recognized. Did you have the same problems with the phone?
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.
I was upgrading my t-mobile 8150(?) the k-jam with the new windows mobile 6 and in the middle of it my comp crashed!! now i am stuck at the bootloader mode (3 colored screen) and when i try to redo it i get to 99% and get a 302 error message. i follow the instructions given but keeps going in circles. its a G3 so is my phone bricked or is there a way to save it? i've been looking at this site all day but am now just more confused. lol thanks for your help!
No your phone isn't bricked. As long as you can get into the bootloader screen you should be ok. What you need to do is flash an official carrier rom either tmobile 2.26 or wizard love rom after you that than you can reflash to wm6. look at the stickies in the wizard forums that is where you can find these roms.
Thanks for the info but seems my techno curse continues. I tried the wizard love rom but it was in a different language and whem i tried the tmobile 2.26 i got "error 274 connection." Any more suggestions? Again thanks soo much for an issue I'm sure has been posted here a thouand times.
This happens to me all the time. I always use the Cingular 2.25 rom, it works perfectly and I have an I-mate K-JAM. Then, do the WM6 upgrade, but ensure all of your Norton and Antivirus and background running apps are shut down. Good luck.
yes also take out your mini sd card if you have one. even though its in another language it will work. "AVANTI means next. so just keep hitting that and you will be fine.
hmm been trying to d/l the Cingular 2.25 rom but the link seems to have stoped working...
It;s aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllliiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! for now lol Lets see what happens after i install wm6 I couldn't get the cingular rom but i had already dowbloaded the button rom i found here earlier and it worked like a dream!! quick and easy!! thank you all soooooo much!
hi all. one more little thing. after adding the new rom to get it back to life, now the numbers don't match so i can't upgrade to wm6. i have ipl 1.01 spl 2.26. advice?
flash to the tmo 2.26 or cingular 2.25...that will give you an IPL/SPL of 2.xx
then, you can flash to WM6
i want to delete this message. can't find a way to do it.
there's any other way to flash without usb cable?? sorry to bug in this thread but i lost my usb connection somehow and did a hard reset and still doesn't work. my phone charges. and no is not my computer cuz my wifes phone same as mine does sync i have a tmobile mda also known as the cingular 8125.

keep reflashing buttons rom until both ipl/spl are the same number. if they are different, then the flash didn't complete correctly. (it happens often, so it's kinda normal). just keep reflashing. after both ipl/spl are the same, then CID unlock and then update to an official carrier...then flash a wm6.
can anyone help me??
Check if "USB" displayed when in bootloader mode (Camera+reset) with Wizard connected to PC.
If so, you may try to flash another ROM through bootloader.

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
The only thing it does is going to bootloader and when i plug my usb in it say usb but when i try to install my original rom from t-mobile ( a update ) it says it's looking for information on my mda but after a couple of second it's say UPDATE ERROR i use windows vista can that be a problem? and how do i know wich one is the original..?

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......
Hello everybody.
So the problem is this. I got a QTEK 9100 today, and it happened to be in swedish (got in from a friend, for free). It was WM5 anyway so i decided to update it to WM6 or newer. I followed the original guide to flash rom (i did everything as they were supposed to do) I got the Wizard Service tool, checked the right G-thing. I do have G3 device and i did follow the G3 guide.
But when i tried to flash it did came with an ERROR 262 CONNECTION ERROR. And then it put me to the recovery instructions. I went them trough -cable off, power off, cable back, power back) I tried to re-flash it three times, but it was ALWAYS stuck at 26% giving the same error over and over again.
I re-installed Activesync. I didnt get no connection this time (before reinstall i did get connection). Altrough my computer says something at lower right that it detected a device.
Then i tried Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102. I tried it two times, same error 262 and stuck at 11%.
Now it wont upgrade to anything. CID is still locked.
Im stuck in the three color space at the beginning. My IPL is 1.05 and SPL is 2.17. I do get the USB in bottom left of the screen.
Any help would be appreticiated. I dont want to brick my new phone.
