I cant believe this....I had no issues all day upgrading the ROM...until my PC overheated and shut off at 57%...
now when my phone starts up I see the 3 bars and it sais USB in the bottom left...but active sync is not connecting!
help!
what 3 bars?
a Red Blue Green Bars color?..
If that so.. you are too lucky..
I read a little more on the wiki:
Type 2a: When the phone boots, it goes directly to bootloader mode (tri-color screen)
This is what I have right now...I can't seem to get active sync to connect...although at the bottom of the screen it has "USB"
I have tried using mtty and dont think its diong anything...
Just stay in the bootloader (tri-color screen) and make sure the "USB" is shown in your device screen..
The reflash.. even if its not sync/connected.. just reflash the ROM..
Everything will be fine..
wow....i think it may actually work....that was SCARY.
nice to know the good ole button flash works when all others fail
I just want to make a clarification..
You are just flashing your device and when the upgrade process is on 57% your computer suddenly shutoff? and the upgrade was cut..
What happened next? did you reset the device then went to tri-color screen? or you just force bootloader mode it?
Yeah pretty much exactly what you said. I literally got up for a second to get some water, came back and saw the telltale sign that my pc had just shut itself off (the screen was black except for the standard boot junk that shows up).
So I look at my device (8125) and it was locked at 57% and was not responsive. I figured that the flash util probably wouldn't continue after the computer started back up (and besides, the device wasn't alive anymore) so I rolled the dice and unplugged the USB and took out the battery. When I put the battery back in and hit the power button, it went straight to the bootloader (the tri color screen).
- By the way - ive got the button image on here now - workin like a champ...
tnx for the explanation..
have fun!!..
thanks for the quick reply - i thought i was completely stuck but the button flash seemed to take care of everything. Makes me almost think that bricking this thing is near impossible... >
Yup!.. that also my conclusion.. its impossible to brick.. thats why i ask for your clarification..
What is this "button flash"? I am stuck in RGB boot mode with no activesync connection. I have read til my eyes crossed, but can not fix my 8125 (G3)!
Please advise.
How about more information? On your bootloader (Rainbow screen) what does it show the IPL / SPL to be? What were you trying to do when you got into this situation? What happened when you were flashing? Is your device a G3 or G4?
Safest thing for you to do right now is to flash your carrier's rom onto the phone (an official shipped ROM). With your phone in the bootload, just run the ROM and it will install (DO NOT RUN A CUSTOM ROM AT THIS POINT SINCE YOU HAVEN"T TOLD US ANY OTHER INFORMATION).
G3 8125
ipl/spl 2.25
Was trying to use faria's latest rom...got stuck at 99% for almost one hour, so I rebooted computer and discon'd the wizard. Now it will boot to rainbow screen and will not connect via activesync (so I can't utilize any other roms to get back to square one).
ActiveSync will NOT connect when you are at the boot loader. As long as you see USB in the bottom left of your phone (above the left soft key) then you can flash your original Cingular ROM and be good to go again.
brick, brick, brick
It happend to me too with faria´s new crossbow rom:
the device freezed at 99% and I reseted it then....nothing happend- bootloader mode: red green blue + usb... but no chance to flash ANYTHING... always the same message:ERROR (260) update error, no connection to the device...???

Why did you reset it??? All roms freeze. The screen that is flashing the ROM even says it can take up to 10 mins. If you don't get an error onthe PC then DON'T stop the flashing process.
Go get a copy of your carrier's official ROM (not a custom one, but an official one from your carrier.). Then with the phone at the boot loader (Rainbow screen) and the USB cord plugged, in, run the official ROM. If that doesn't work, then get a copy of the Wizard Love rom and flash it (You'll need to find links around here for it, or pull it via PirateBay). You may also want to reboot the PC you are running on and remove your SD card (if you have one) just to remove variables that can play in to all of this.
Good luck

Ten minutes is understandable, but mine stalled for about an hour at the 99% mark. Even my PC would not respond. Is that normal for a rom upgrade?
-----
I was finally able to reset my 8125 to the Cingular ROM. Not sure why I couldn't do it on my PC, but after moving over to my wife's PC I did not have any problems.
Thanks!

o.k. boys, now it is a nice little crossbow brick from faria.....and I can make telefon-calls with my brick.
thanks a lot for your help

No, that sounds like your pc locked up or something (I'd blame windows on that one )

Sorry, I may be missing your humor or sarcasm... Are you saying its dead (if so, give more details about what it does or doesn't do, IPL/SPL it shows (if it turns on), etc... If its now working, then congrats!
I have a Cingular 8125, and after installing Xplore 1.1 using ShellTool override, I did the hard reset on my phone, but it just stays on the bootup screen with all the device information (OS, GSM, SPL, IPL) at the top left. I left the phone on for over 20 minutes and nothing changed.
I've tried doing a few hard resets now (which may have messed it up even more) and don't really know what else to try.

I had someone help me try and fix my problem last night. After going to the bootloader screen and flashing it using a RUU, it was still frozen on the splash screen. I then tried to hard reset it again, only to get the "Format is failed" message that I forgot to mention earlier. He said this message indicates is a hardware issue and that I would have to send it in to get it fixed. Is there any possible way to fix this problem myself?
From what I've gathered so far, a 'format fail' problem cannot be fix yourself. I think you will need to send it back.
after i used button's 1.05 ROM i cant get no usb and its very slow not i cant install HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b
Do you mean no activesync by no USB? Try flashing it again through bootloader screen or try flashing the official rom of your provider through the bootloader.

Once at the bootloader screen, what do you do next? I've been stuck here for a little while now and can't figure out what to do while in this mode.

Yes, I've been over that, and some of the related links from that thread, but so far I still can't find the missing piece. All of the tips point to using an updater to load Wizard Love, but I still get a communication error. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I'd also point out that while this may be my third 4th post, I'm not really new at this. I am new at having problems. I've flashed this phone probably a dozen times in the past year and have never had a problem. I've going over the sticky threads and tutorials, but what I'm missing is how I actually get wizard love to load. So far, it still does a check for the phone through activesync, then tries to run RUUGetinfo.exe and EnterBootloader.exe to which copies nk.nbf. So far the central issue seems to be establishing a connection. Since I am already in the boot loader (the red, green, blue, white screen) I need to be able to copy nk.nbf, which is what I cannot figure out. So far, I haven't found anything useful on this.

When you just plugin USB cable. Does it say USB on the left bottom of your screen? After this you should just use the RUU. Maybe it helps to uncheck allow USB connections in activesync.
Most people having problems flashing from bootloader (communication error) can succesfully flash from another XP machine. Have you tried that?
I've been waiting for hours for someone to help me and I searched and searched, I can't find any help!!! I have to go to work soon and I've been on this screen since 7:30AM EST!
Looks like I'm stuck at the boot loader screen and it goes back to it when I do a soft rest. I can't do a hard reset since I can't turn off the phone.
I think it's the bootloader screen.
Says RUUNBH on the top right corner and the screen is red, green, blue and white which these codes or whatever.
Took the battery out for a few and it went right back to that same screen.
Can someone help me bring back my Rhodium to stock???
EDIT: I might of posted this in the wrong section. Should this be in Rhodium General?
*UPDATE*
ark666 found the stock rom for T-Mobile HTC TP2 and I did a flash to get it back! Thank you so much ark666!!!
Flash stock rom.
I have no idea on how to do that, I searched how-to's but I can't find any full instructions or where to get the stock rom for T-Mobile HTC TP2.
This is the worse ever!!! Somebody please!!!
Isn't this the best site for things like this?
Try a manual hard reset? The instructions should be in your manual.
It says while the phone is off to HOLD SEND/END key with the power until the message comes up. The phone wont turn off unless I take out the battery for me to do a hard reset.
EDIT: I took the battery out then put it back in. The phone is now off, I hold the buttons and did the hard reset. It went right back to the boot loader screen.
hi,
what happend after you hard reset the device?
regards,
twisted
Asked me to press the VOL UP button to reboot. I did and it went right back to the boot loader screen. A flash happened on the screen when I try a soft reset and it says really quickly!..."NO IMG FILE" then it goes back to the 4 color screen.
EDIT: Image below on how my screen is since 7:30 AM EST!!!
on some device, active the RUU, connect it to PC & press soft reset button (the one in side the battery cover).
don't know if it help, just try that
good luck
Thanks for the reply, but that was the first thing I tried. Looks like I will have to go to work with no phone! This is crazy on how this can't be resolved.
Looks like you've basically erased the flash I'd say...
If you can get the t-mobile image, then try flashing that back to the device... If you connect a usb cable to your device, at the bottom, where it says serial it'll change to usb...
Or, if you have a goldcard, maybe try installing another image. But I'd say you're best to install the t-mobile image if you can get one?!
Ok so where can I get an image that will work on my phone? I also will need instructions on how to do it properly.

Where are you from? Can you find the rom on your tmobile site?
Or, creat a goldcard, copy the RHODIMG.nbh into the root of the card and try flashing that...?
As far as I know, your device is not bricked, you simply need your original supplier rom...
I replied to the PM (basically do set 16 0 command in mtty)
but I see your photo now - you have 0.85.1000 SPL? that's mfg SPL so if "set 16 0" did not help (you didn't describe what you did to the phone when this happened), you can just take any official rhodium ROM and flash it
sorry if I misread your photo... quite blurry
Ok that's my main problem that I've been having. Where can I get an official Rhodium ROM and how do I do a flash? I've been searching all morning.
And yes 0.85.1000, that's what it says on the screen.
I tried to this ROM...Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548546
Did the goldcard, but I think I did it wrong. I added the RHODIMG to the SD then tried to update my TP2. That's when I got an error saying it's not for PDA and how I need to update my utility.
I got the steps to do the goldcard correctly, I just want to take another shot at updating this ROM.

hard reset doesn't erase the OS image.

see my PM first, maybe set 16 0 will be enough.
is your SPL version really 0.85.1000? how did you get this phone? what happened when it got stuck on bootloader screen?
as for flashing, see xdadev wiki on rhodium.
Ok, will try what you PMed me. Brb!
It says 0.85.1000 on the screen so I guess so and I got it from T-Mobile. Ordered it through Customer Service.
post #15 has been updated to let you know what I was trying to do.

then the set 16 0 will work just fine
weird the rom didn't work though
I have just flashed the 6.5 rom which you flashed
It does change the spl to 0.85 and i have the exact the sameimage which you have shotted during the flash process. But the process of this rom's flashing has two stage, it will restart after first 10% and show up the image which you shotted and upload, and continue afterwards. i guess ur goldcard has the problem so it stops and stucked there. Try other sign roms would be a better solution.
Hi.
today i bricked my kaiser when i tried to install a dutty's rom
been trying to get this fixxed for over 5 hours. nothing worked out.
used kaisdiag.nbh from h ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683
in both suggested solutions my kaiser wont go further then the Loading page. ( waited atleast 10 mins twice without any success)
used some other RUU installs while in the tricolour screen:
ahmedfikry wm6.5 23549 Tilt UC light rom
KAISER_WM65_OS23547_PP12MB_Sonblack05

long story short: im desperate.
can any of u please help me fix my phone ?
its an MDA vario II. model Kais130 P/N 99hcy063-00
thanks in advance.
i'm no expert at recovering bricked phones...
but what i understand is that IF you have a hard SPL (which hard SPL do you have?), then you should be able to recover your device from nearly any situation.
try this...if RUU is not working well, try to flash using the SD card method.
also, try to flash a stock ROM (using RUU as well as using the SD card method). let us know what happens.
Try putting your phone into bootloader, ( press and hold power and camera buttons while doing a soft reset ) once it is in the " tri-color " screen, let us know what it says on the screen.
thanks for your time and the fast response, to both of you.
@#1
i used Pofs hard spl.
and as mentioned above i tried both the RUU way and with my micro SD card.
the SD way only shows me the 'Loading' screen. over and over.
and with the RUU i get several errors. connection errors at 0% and connection errors some later.
some roms just say they wont work on my phone.
and others just reboot my phone.
@#2
i think my phone gets to the bootloader all the time. cause i c no difference when resetting with camera and power button on.
its the tri color screen with the folowing information that shows up:
RUUNBH
Kais130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
serial/USB
______________________
the serial shows up when the phone is not connected.. and the USB shows up when its attached to my pc with usb.
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks in advance .
You don't have hard-spl you still have a stock, flash the stock ROM of your carrier from bootloader.
Then follow the noobs guide to flashing.
Thx guys my phone is working like it used to be.
downoaded the original rom from t-mobile again. and again.
now got one wich is working.
thanks for your help.
i was about to throw the brick trough the window.
