8125 will not boot any more .. need some expert help - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

i have a 8125 that i was using with cingular / att
the other day i was doing a HARD RESET .. and thanx to my stupidity i did it as the battery was just about to DIE ..
it did .. right in the middle of the HARD RESET
i plugged the phone back in and then turned on the phone
the " splash screen " comes up ..
the numbers
it says
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.11
appear on the top left of the screen .. and that is where it stops .. it will not BOOT any further .. .. nothing works .. the only way to get the screen to shut off is to take the battery out and start the process again
I feel i have damaged the O.S system or something
can anyone give me a place to start .. or a way to begin to even attempt to fix this problem ..
thank you so much in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this problem ..

start with the Wizard Wiki and get an original ROM (form the provider) to restore phone to good condition

i dont understand
what do you mean get a ROM from the provider ? you mean go to cingular and ask them to help flash it ?
sorry .. but i dont understand your advice

My first advise was to read the Wiki. There you'll find a LOT of information and help on how to get it done.
You must find the same ROM that came originally with your phone. Go read and search...

ok .. will do
but if you do know the answer it would be alot easier just to give me a head up as to atleast
" yes the stuff you need is on our site "
or
" no .. you wont be able to do what your looking to do "
I am not a stranger to forums and i know reading is the first thing that can get you the help . but looking for a little bit of " your in the right place " is also one of the things forums are good for
so i ask again
with the problem i have described .. will i be able to fix this problem with information and files on this site ?
if a ROM from cingular must come from cingular ... then i am most likely out of luck since i have been to that rodeo already and cingular was no help at all

Yes go to cingulars website and download the 2.25 rom release. This will allow you to flash your phone back to oem condition. Try hard resetting it again, I don't remember if you can do it from the boot loader screen but you may be able to.
Best of luck.
Jeff

Sorry, but Cingular site not exist, today is AT&T, or not?

What you want is to be spoon fed and that's why is so hard to find anything in this forum: because of the huge amount of repeated posts with same questions.
I made a Google search and in less than 3 minutes and 3 sites i found the original HTC/AT&T ROM link...

I have the same problem. IPL and SPL 2.15.00001 and tryed to downgrade but after restart it does not power on. Tried everything but no way to power on. Is somebody know how to make it work again.
Regards,
You guys tried to flash a G3 Rom on your G4 Wizard.
So your bootloader (IPL/SPL) that is 2.xx.0001 is overwritten by a G3 bootloader that is 2.xx, so in other words....your devices are bricked.
Please someone, correct me if I am wrong.
Molski
yup, I agree. Bricked hopefully someone can fine the JTag on these devices.
Wow that sucks! Full moon over Miami last night, naw that can't be it .....
Sorry but unfortunately I must follow my Grandmother's advice concerning when I don't have anything nice to say...
R there NO ALTERNATIVE WAY for THIS?? HOPE we can help those people that made a mistake by upgrading to a ROM that doesnt fit to their WIZARD. due maybe because of TOO XCITEMENT they forgot to CHECK FIRST(PLS! ALWAYS CHECK FIRST) their IPL/SPL.
HOPE those master GURU's can do something!
So, please someone tell clearly how to know G3 or G4 of the Wizard
thanks so much
Sorry but I have no more tolerance for people who just jump in first without doing a little research. A while back when the G4 first came out we didn't know. Now everyone who puts out a ROM warns people about the possible consequences. And there's so many threads on just the first page with tales of woe... how can a person miss them all??
I'm sorry but my parents raised me to take responsibility for my own actions, as Baretta used to say" Don't do the crime if you can't do the time"
Similar to when a Cat 4 hurricane is coming at you and you don't leave after being warned.... then blaiming everyone but yourself...
And if anyone wants to rebute me on this, don't bother as I've neither the time nor the patience.
Bottom line is that flashing phones has the very real possiblity of trashing an expensive piece of hardware in a very short period of time. If one has any doubts, then they shouldn't do it! And if a person doesn't have a concern initially then they're asking for trouble.
Sorry....

The problem is that if your bootloader (IPL/SPL) is fuc*ed up, there is no way to get it in bootloader mode to do a flash!
Only known solution is with JTAG connector, but that solution is not a clear solution yet, but I dont know nothing about that solution (simply...because I never needed it).

I knew I have a G4 and can't upgrade/downgrade with G3 roms or even change IPL/SPL, but I did that :]
Just found ROM v2.22.1 (I think), like my original Wizard's was. I was so happy that I found it, that I forgot about G3 chips existence 8)
Well, ROM was for G3 -_-
Just ran too fast and slipped. Maybe I got that speed after very often Pioneer BCT 1430 flashing. It is just immortal :]
well i know about the G3 and G4 but the rom that i downloaded from doesn't say anything about support G3 or G4 thats why i consider this rom doesn't included IPL and SPL just like the custom rom been make from other member.
Damn now i have to send my phone back to factory for fixing it. Lucky i still have a warranty of it.

I do feel for you. I believe that the best thing that we can do is to not even make G3 ROM's available to the general public. Maybe all new ROM releases should be IPL/SPL - less. If one needs a ROM that will upgrade their bootloader they'll have to request a password protected file.
I just dunno...

...which is one of the reasons why carriers make it so hard to flash a ROM from one carrier to the device of another.
Qtek 9100 half bricked
Hi Molski
I'm new here.Just 'd like to know if you could support me on this matter.
Here we go...
I've flashed my 9100 from wwe to esn (spanish) with the ROM 1.3.7.5 or something like this.
This is the problem...I got a power failure in the middle of the flashing process.So now the device isnt able to start up it didnt install the OS properly.
Now it says:
IPL 2.24 (i managed to flash the ipl n spl)
SPL 2.24
OS 1.3.7.5
But I'm pretty sure that there's no OS watsoever because after keep trying flashing with other ROM in bootload mode.I finally managed with an Orange of 34 mb it updated the ROM,that is the IPL And SPL and with the process was running I've noticed the screen got blank and updated it properly.I was realy happy when I saw it but even though it did it properly I still got the same problem.The pda doesnt start up.When I flashed it for the first time I did it with care,followed all the instructions,that is, unlocked the CID first etc.But had the damn joy of getting a power failure in the middle of it.
I'm just wondering if one of you would be able to gimme a light on it.I've tried everything but flashing it with a G4 ROM coz I know it wont work.

Maybe CID Lock problem ? NEED HELP !!!!

Hi, After the soft reset comand, I removed the battery from my Wizard. After that the followin problem was appear: the phone is bringing up to the splash screen and STOP on this position.I have tried to download another Rom but the problem still is the same. My Phone is not CID unlock and before this, I cooked own rom like is writen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043 . So any idea how to wake-up my phone MDA Vario.
Ok forgive me if I'm wrong here, I don't really want to judge before I know the full story, but seems to me your brain went on strike momentarily. First rule of flashing any unofficial rom CID UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE. Anyways sorry, I just wanted to say something so it doesn't happen to you again, that said, what rom did you try to upgrade to? what rom did you try to downgrade to after that? is your device a G3 or G4?
If your device is a G3 I would recommend downgrading to this rom by xelecin
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_Wizard_1081002_108_10910_ENG_US.exe
it will ask you if you want to CID unlock your device at the start so you shouldn't need to worry about forgetting this time , if you can't connect your device to activesync just go into the bootloader (hold the camera, voice dial buttons while pressing the reset button) and once it connects run the set-up.
Oh another thing before I forget..... do some searching and read up a bit, because this is a pretty common topic on this forum, best of luck and hope everything works out ok. If not, report back.
*edit* I just noticed the thread that you linked to, I actually wasn't aware that this was possible, but anyways I think it's still much safer to CID unlock your device if possible, and another thing you might try replying in that thread if it doesn't work out since they should be more knowledgeable in the matter..... and that would help keep the forums less cluttered *edit*
Thanks, for your help, Unfortunately you are totaly right for my stupid act (again). At first i tried to solve the problem alone , but whole day I roam through this forum to find solution but I can't find the same problem like my. Maybe because of my ..... brain .Anyway I am with G3. NOW I have
IPL 1.0
SPL 2.26
GSM 01.09.11
OS 1.5.4.2
This is after this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116
I tried also to download also and Molski's 2.26.10.2 AKU2.3 Rom a.k.a. 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom, but the problem is the same : The splash screen is running and STOP and.... nothing.
I can go to bootloader and can download new rom, but I can't start fhe phone.
Yeah I know these forums aren't the easiest in which to look for info. So you can go into the bootloader, that's good. Don't try to go to a AKU2.x rom or later, keep it under that, so no 2.26 roms at all. 105, or 108 roms should be good.
Did you try the rom from the link I provided or the one on the thread? and afterwards did it go into the phone at all? My friends MDA had a similar problem last week, caused by the same thing, though in your case I see the SPL isn't updating when you install new roms on his it was the os that wasn't updating, but as soon as I installed that rom I recommended it booted up fine, then I updated his device to molski's 2.3.
I'll check back in a few so let me know how's it going.

Ok, but tell me how to solve this :
"qiote"
8. Open ActiveSync, Explore and copy enablerapi.cab from your PC's C:\ (remember that's where you extracted lokiwiz to...) to you device, I don't care where.
9. Pick up your PDA, File Explorer, find the enablerapi.cab and click it.
"quote"
I don't have access to the phone explorer and phone at all.
masr1979 I have tried the rom you give me, but it look like there is some things I don't understand: When I start the exe file i have choice <continue> .Whet I type <c> 2(two) time the soft tell me <no device found> and order me to continue with copy ???. After few seconds tell me that Unlocker ..... Done!, and start HTC wizard Unlocker and NOTHING !!! Stop on this position more then 15 min. and only the led for charging on the phone is active.
Forget all about unlocking. Until you can boot the device completely it'll never work.
Try and install an official 2.x ROM on your device.
My suspicion is that you originally has a G4 device, which is bad because if you DID have a G4 you have a brick now...
Can you remember your phones old ipl/spl? for your sake I hope it wasn't something in this format 2.XX.000X.

Of course I'm not sure, but I thing it was 2.21. Anyway did you think that is posible to cook my own rom in G4? I'm totally confused.
Every time when I upload new rom I have this:

Thanks, but I try to find oficial rom but without success. And very interesting thing I found.. when I start to upload new rom the soft start to check my old rom and after that tell me that i have GE (german) language, but my old was WWE ?
Is it posible some one to give me some link to official 2.x ROM but for T-mobile german language.
Well the other day I tried finding that german rom for a while.... that search was going nowhere, I saw this thread, I don't know if you might want to check into it and maybe try it out. There's mixed results apparently but who knows

reset and hold the camera button,you will see a 3 color screen...connect to the PC it should say usb in the bottom of the device screen....now install the latest update from your carrier.
PS
for future reference if you device is ended CID unlocked you do not need to use shelltools...just use the update utility provided by the rom.
also this info has been posted 1 trilion times

Its not that hard to look at the stickies (thats were the really important stuff is located).

thank you faria, bwesty and mfrazzz. I got to the bootloader screen and reflashed it with the latest tmobile rom. I'm sorry ive been asking so many questions, but i've been getting some mixed answers.
like someone told me (ill give the link to prove it) that flashing the latest tmobile rom will cid unlock your device. Im pretty sure thats not the case. And faria i did your latest rom and it got stuck at 99%, and i figure thats because it's not cid unlocked
i did search the forums mfrazzz and it came to no avail. You're right, if i looked really hard i could have found it somewhere, deep in a thread, but what do you expect from someone who just thought he bricked his $400 phone?
there should be a section for itself titled "I just broke my phone, how do i fix it" And inside that thread there should be every way to fix every situation. And i dont mean buried, i mean in the first post. Just a thought, it would have really helped and stopped me from bothering you guys
But as for now im going to go to the sheeltool thread and see if they can help me, i still can't get that to work.

A really useful thread (besides the WIKI is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 it, by the way, is the very first item on the WM6 forum, this forum has Dr. P's EXCELLENT thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 plus other useful stickies) It seems that your phone is 'working' after flashing the TMo 2.26, the first thing you need to do is find out if you have a G3 or a G4, then CID unlock appropriately. Skip the shelltool stuff for now, if you don't understand what phone you have, you will be on the road to "brick city".

demontefixo thanks for the quick reply
but, i do know things about my phone, i just have little questions that no one really explains throughly. I know i have a g3, i know about cid unlocking and how to do it. I've into the registry on both my (ex) tmobile dash and now the mda. I'm currenty looking for the best new rom that i want to flash, but i can't void my warranty and that's why im using shell tools. I've been reading this forum for quite a while, and i don't consider myself a newbie (i cant control what other people think) but i do need help on certain areas, and im sorry for even needing that

CID unlocking (as far as I know) won't void your warrantee--at least it hasn't voided mine (TMo US), but YMMV. That said, it isn't a bad thing to ask for help, (cross posting is generally frowned on) we like to help people who aren't lazy or stupid.
When you do post for help, generally the more info provided the better, but I sense you know that. If your phone is a G3, I am not really sure why you are seeking help in the G4 forum....anyway.
IMHO, Faria's WM6 works really well, and I haven't had serious issues with it. There are others that love different ROMs or will cook their own, great! Nottoosmart has a good looking ROM (a Mun derivative ROM) everyone will have an opinion, I know what works well for me. So "what is the best"? Hmm Faria's WM6 (for me).

While keeping your phone CID Locked does keep you from voiding your warranty in that respect, flashing a custom rom on your phone will technically void your warranty also (although unless do something nasty to it, you should be able to get it back to the official rom and with it still CID locked then you should be fine). Example: You flash the latest and greatest WM6 on your phone and then your USB connector breaks and your SD slot doesn't work. You now can't get back to WM5 so they will know if they look. Far fetched, but I'm just throwing it out that if you are really concerned about your warranty, flashing custom roms may not be a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you not to do it, I'm just saying that doing pretty much anything in the upgrading and WM6 forums here is basically voiding your warranty. But I think in most cases, the carriers don't look that close.
And please ask for assistance when you have issues. There are so many posts though, its hard to tell who has really read and who hasn't sometimes.

[Help] Unlocking Cingular 8125
Hey im new to these forums and i need help unlocking my Cingular 8125
From what ive seen on these forums my phone is G4 Because it has xxx1 at the end of the ip or w/e that **** is. I would gladly appreciate it if someone would help me unlock my G4.One of my friends has his unlocked it looks like Vista and it has all these sweet programs. Since i just got mine its g4 I guess..and since he got him like 2 months bevfore me maybe his was g3 so it was easy...

Noob, i already checked that one. Its stickied why wouldnt i not check it before posting this thread?
The link's on that Thread are dead. They dont work anymore ***. Lol
Can't we all just get along? Let's keep things nice-nice, okay?
Anyhow, chaos36 it's really important to read up on this site before posting. All the answers are readily available (with some time and patience).
Here's a quick guideline ...
1. Your first stop should be here (the wiki)
All the information and links to get the most out of your device
2. How to SIM unlock your phone, look here.
3. How to flash any ROM other than your carrier's, here
4. Enjoy!
But just a bit of friendly advice for you in the future. Read and search all you can, then if you can't find what you're looking for, read and search some more before posting.
This site is a great place for developers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts. It's not a "helpdesk". But as long as you help yourself first, you'll find a lot of great (nice) people that will help you along your way.
Good luck and have fun!

Can you still get into the bootloader screen? (the red/blue/green screen)
To get into the bootloader you need to HOLD the camera button and tap the reset button.

Now what do i do when im there?

Alright, this is a good example (one that we've all seen over and over again here) of how not to jump into flashing your phone without reading everything thoroughly.
Stay in the bootloader screen, keep your USB cord plugged in and reflash your original carrier's ROM. That will get you back to factory specs.
Then, don't try flashing anything else UNTIL you read everything I mentioned in the previous post first, at least a couple times through.
Just some advice

Well, glad to help. To reflash your original carriers ROM, you need to download it from their website and execute it.
Ok i got a cingular 8125. So to download it i go to Cingualr.com?...Sorry for being so noob and do you got AIm will be much easier for you to help me there ty.
I'm actually about to hit the sack. But you can get the Cingular ROM here. Just download and install it and you'll be good.
Good luck!
Wow you gave me a direct link. Thank you for all your help! Do you got AIM incase i cant figure out how to do this? maybe u can help me out tomorrow thnx for all your time and help.
Taurus pretty much held your hand and walked you thru it. You should be fine after this point. And if some of the links arent working, just let some of the mods now and they will take care of all that stuff. So good luck with the flashing.

Yes he did and it was nice of him for doing that to me. My 8125 is fine now..but the link you gave me for the flash's are dead the links dont work =[

where to get ROM files .. all links in wiki dead

I am looking for the original CINGULAR ROM for the 8125
i went to the WIKI were most of the HOW TO guided me to .. and all the links are dead ..
so everyone telling me to READ first .. CHECK
follow instructions .. CHECK
now what .. can someone help me out .. ?
*** my problem i am having ..
battery died in the middle of a hard reset . andnow it wont go past the " splash" screen ....
I can offer you the original Tmo rom, but do not have a cingular rom. If you are using it as a base rom before flashing a stock rom, I suppose the Tmo would work. I have 2.26, and 3.08.
i really dont know what i should be using .. thats why i am here .. looking for someone who can help me figure out a course of action ..
its like trying to learn in a dark room . LOL . looking for any tips from anyone
the phone is a paper weight right now .. it will boot to the " splash screen " and then sit tehre and do nothing ..
the phone is through cingular ... but i have no idea if that matters ...
Have you unlocked it per the Dr. P sticky?
If you have unlocked your phone, any base rom will do, as it is just a leap pad for a custom rom. If your device is not unlocked, I don't believe my Tmo stock rom's will help you. If you are certain your device is unlocked, I can upload my Tmo rom or point you in the direction of one here, and you flash it, then re-flash with a custom kitchen.
*****EDIT*****
Found the rom on HTC's site, here is the linky::
