Stuck in bootloader

Hopefully, someone can help me fix my f*ckup...
I attempted to flash the qtek "test" rom to my I-mate K-jam branded wizard. The flash worked, and the customisation from the extnded rom completed.
then the fun began...
the device booted, and hung at the splash screen. I soft reset, and it hung at the same point. I then tried a hard reset, and it still hung...
At this point, I thought "oh well" and tried to flash back the old os.. which wouldn't work, as I couldn't get an activesync connection. so I put the device in bootloader, and flashed the rom. but.. it's now stuck in bootloader. no combination of soft or hard reset will allow it to boot, but I can flash roms.
anyone got any ideas?
thanks!
<edit>
Just a quick update.. flashing button's custom rom image got me out of bootloader, and booting as far as the splash screen again, but showin the old i-mate, not his pint..
I'll keep tinkering, and hoping that someone has a clue what i've screwed up.

Yeah, I saw
Sadly mine came from ebay, so returning it's going to be hard!
Hopefully, it's fixable.

It looks bad!! I'm afraid
I've given up and hopefully will get a replacement from T-mobile?? Somebody suggested I try running the battery down. I did this and now it won't start at all or even charge - so it's now well and truly dead!!!
I think whatever we have all down is terminal - as you say you can't even run activesync. Hope you didn't pay too much for your ebay wizard?!

Help Please ! Won't go past the Splash Screen?

I've been trying to get my old extended rom and new Qtek OS on my Wizard (Vario).
But now it gets stuck in the spash screen (ie the one giving the ROM numbers).
I've tried putting the wizard into bootloader mode and I can flash RUU's but when it resets it still gets stuck on the spash screen and won't go any further !!!????
What can I do ??
Please Help
Cheers

I should say that I had flashed using button's ROM RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe.html
and this worked fine!
I then copied across my T-mobile Extended ROM and again everything seemed OK.
BUT then I tried to restore my new saved OS ROM using aWizard and this caused a freeze on my Wizard. It was after a hard reset that the wizard stopped at the splash screen.
Now of course I'm limited in my options because Activesync won't work until the Wizard has fully booted up.
I have tried setting the Wizard into bootloader mode and tried several ROM's (RUU Installer ones) but every time the correct splash screen comes up with the new ROM numbers but that is as far as it gets.
I also noticed on hard reset that you get the following message
Format FAT partition
Format failed
it then goes to the splash screen as before.
Are there any other things I can try Or will I have to send it back to T-mobile for a replacement??
(It's only 2 months old and I have re-flashed it with the orginal T-mobile ROM - but still won't go past the splash screen!!)
I live in hope

I have this EXACT same problem!
I can reflash any ROM but it will not go past the splash screen. Only difference was I wasn't playing with my extended ROM. I flashed the AKU2 QTEK ROM yesterday and have been fine through several soft resets, etc. This last time I was uninstalling phonealarm and after a soft reset I got a "could not find smswakeup.exe" (or something similar) and it's been stuck ever since! I also get the "Format Failed" message. Can anyone help!?

I think I'm going to have to send it back to T-mobile and hope they give me a replacement. Something is wrong, it doesn't seem to make any difference what ROM I used.
I think I'll reload the T-mobile shipped ROM grom the FTP site and send it back - and claim ignorance that it it suddenlt freezed and now won't boot up! - Bummer!!!

Right I've logged a fault and it will be sent back - let's hope T-mobile can't detect it's been unlocked and had several ROM updates - I suspect they will try a ROM update themselves then give up ???
The worrying thing though is that it IS possible to kill your phone with updates - maybe it was when I used aWizard to try and restore a ROM that did it??? I'll be more carefull next time!!

this has just happened to one of the devices im flashing at the moment.... absolulty f**king raging :evil: :evil:
i wish teher was a solution!!? anyone got any ideas?
activesync wont find it, so aWizard wont work.
i can flash between 3 roms without any problems (1.5.x 1.6.x 2.x) but always hangs on the splash screen. i have flashed back to the default rom that it came installed with it so i could just send it back to o2 (only 2 days old!)
i would rather just get it sorted by myself thoough so if anyone has ANY ideas then please let me know.
thank you!

Good luck! after about 3 days of trying different types of firmware, I gave up and sent it to expansys, for repair. And it looks like they've lost the bloody thing now. :evil:

looks like one of our sales guys wont be getting a new phone on tuesday :lol:

same problem here.
tryed to write os with awizzard after changing extended_rom.
kills phone.
format failed..
Tryed different os's from win util - failed
upgraded with sd card methode worked.
in short :
you need a working wizzard to make a os dump on sd card.
Connect to wizzard with usbterm or romupdate.exe or simular.
do a rs2all command to dump os to sd card.
stick this card in broken phone.
hold voice comm button while resetting.
On ask press voice comm button again.
it bow restores the sd backup to phone.
saved mine.....
btw sd card backup can be read ad write by pc with util ntrw.exe .
so if you don't have a working dump i can upload one.
just mail me.

hard reset your device and hold your Camera Button prior to starting the wizard back on.
when the device turns back on, you will get the boot screen. Plug in your USB cable and load one of the known ROMS like the second to last iMate ROM.
This will allow you to get past the splash screen.

Don't worry, I met the same problem as you before, almost lost my hope, but finally I managed to fix it.
The solution is simple, that is to find an original SD card backup image from your wizard or others, then try to restore it in the bootloader mode. In my case, it said checksum error or sth else after begin restoring, and it gave up. Then I put my wizard into bootloader mode, picked one offical released RUU package, start reflash again. Finnally, I found the wirzrd works again for me after reboot.
I guess the principle is that the SD restore will destroy some import flash data structure before it said wrong, then the RUU package will rebuilt it wholely in the next reflash.
Hope this helpful, and sorry for my bad english.

There is hope
Last week after trying to downgrade to the original Cingular ROM on my 8125 using aWizard I ended up with a device that was close to being a paperweight. At least I thought so until I read and read and finally was able to get it to the bootloader and then plugged in the USB cable and ran the RUU for the new Qtek ROM (2.17). Guess what happened, yeah it worked. To my surprise I had a perfect device after 15 minutes.
For about 3 hours I thought I was a toast. Never will I do that again.

stuck on a white screen

hello folks....
first: sorry for my bad english...
second: i've got a LITTLE problem:
last nite i've tried to flash a new rom on my wizard...
it wasn't the first time.. but... the second!!
something goes wrong...
during the upgrade, windows crashed (blue page), now, if i press the power button, lights come up and its stuck for at least two hours on a white screen..
then, come up the splash screen where are wrote IPL, SPL, ecc...
i write them down:
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.Olip
GSM 02.07.10
OS 10.1.0.811 (isn't bad???)
now, the fone stuck forever...
i can't enter in the bootloader so i can't flash it again whit a RUU..
but, the strangest thing... is: the splash screen is from the old rom...
any suggestion??
ah... the rom is this:
XM6r5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355591
how can i fix it? yes... i know... i messed up....
thanx for your answers... even if i can't recover!

If it displays IPL/SPL,then its in Bootloaders,you can flash it in bootloaders.take out the battery for awhile say 30-60 minutes and put it back and try to get into bootloaders and flash the rom.
As its already HardSPL,there shudn't be any problem,just a bad flash due to pc crash.

ok... did it... now, wm starts... but, not everytime.... most of time, it stuck on the famous white screen...
the OS still 10.1.0.811.. i think that is not normal...
how can i "flashback" evreything? i mean... which rom do i use, to have a good base to flash some other rom? my device is a G4.. so, the "love" rom is ok?
EDIT:
i flashed the "wizard_love" rom.. not any problem...till, i've rebooted... white screen again... but when i pressed the power button, it rang like when it seys you "u gonna lose some data" (or something like that)...
SO... Is the screen F******(gone)?

hmmm,perhaps the LCD is a gonner,digitizer or the flexi-cable is creating problems.If you know something about disassembling the device,check if the flexi-cable is properely fixed,otherwise,take it to some repair shop.

simulat problem
hi guys I recently flashed my wizzard with the latest snn edition everything was fine but i tried to install some other program which i did not like so i uninstalled the program system asked me to reboot but now it got stock on the gray windows mobil snn screen i've tried to hard reset with no luck i remove the battery over night still no luck it is bricked?

Restore from Bootloader?

I tried to upgrade my 8125 using Shelltool earlier this week. I used the tool successfully before and so I was assuming that things would just go well.
Unfortunately, I ended up being stuck on the bootscreen. I can also still go into Bootloader mode and so I figured all I need to do is to download the Wizard Love ROM, go into Bootloader mode and apply the ROM to restore an older version. Well, for some reason the RUU utility keeps telling me about a communication issue even though I already disabled USB in Active Sync and I also killed the program using Task Manager...
What am I missing here? I am hoping that someone can enlighten me...
Thanks,
Jens

For some reason I was finally able to flash my 8125 with the Wizard Love ROM this morning. Flash completed and I was back to an old working ROM.
Unfortunately, when I flashed it with the latest CR86 it flashed fine, but then I am stuck on the Bootloader screen. Already tried it twice and just running it a third time, but I am puzzled...
Any help?
Thanks,
Jens

its on its last flashes my friend(or maybe just tire of custom roms)
but just before mine died, it would do that, until i was stuck on the bootloader and the screen would just die, i would have to leave it off then turn on but the same, after that i just left it alone
i could not flash anything on it and i could not see it suffer anymore
i still have it but dont have time to bring it back to life, at least it blinks at me

That's what I was worried about...
Strange thing is I probably only flashed it about 10 times... Very frustrating!
Thanks for your reply!

Hmmm, I just tried the old Wizard Love ROM again and it worked right away.
What am I missing here? I am trying to get to the new CR85 6.5 ROM, but I always end up being stuck on the bootscreen loader. I mean it shows me the HTC screen, but then it goes straight to the bootscreen...
Any suggestions?

I am back in business!
It turned out that flashing back to an older ROM disabled my HardSPL. I guess a case of user error on my end...
Anyhow, I also experienced the fading display mentioned above and I think that's just a sign of a weakening battery. It seems that the phone doesn't charge fast enough over USB in Bootloader mode.
So, if you run into the same problems like me:
- Charge your phone using the charger when you are stuck in Bootloader mode for extended amount of times!!!
- Flash an old provider ROM or Wizard Love ROM
- Re-apply HardSPL if needed
- Upgrade to a newer ROM
Cheers,
Jens

URGENT HELP!!! Rhodium stuck keeps rebooting

Hi there, I installed "RUU_Rhodium_HTC_ARA_1.19.415.1_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship" on my phone, and now it is stuck on the reboot screen, and it keeps rebooting constantly. it won't boot anymore.
I tried to install a different Rom, and it still won't boot.
I tried the hot fix rhodium radio 3.46.
I tyried SPL loader. no luck
Any help is greately appreciated.

Do you have Hard SPL?
Have you tried re-flashing the stock ROM for your device, not just "another" ROM?
Dave

yes I have, I tried both.
How I got it to work, is by using rollback SPL.
But now I can not load the Arabic ROM anymore
Because I used my 1 trial.
Is there any way for me to install the Arabic ROM?

Can you boot Windows Mobile? If not, can you re-flash your carrier's ROM (hopefully they have a Ship Exe) whilst in the bootloader (see the Rhodium wiki pages)?

Dave

Have you tried Mtty?
Mine got stuck at bootloader a couple of days ago, because my computer hang in the flashing.
Second time Mtty saves me

I am able to boot into windows now, but i am unable to load the Arabic ROm.
Help please

I've had something similar.
But my phone kept reinstalling itself every time it booted.
Now I know this was a diamond, but I think it might help.
Maybe someone else could look at this as well and give his opinion about it.
The thread about this case is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493131
Hope that helps

i had this problem.. the only way that seemed to work with me is flash stock spl then flash rom.. once the rom is flashed succ run the arabic localization.. finish it n the re-flash hspl.. thats is the only way around it.. i think there's a conflict between the ara setup n hspl.. dont know if it'll work with u, but did with me since my device accepted the rom in stock spl.. hope it works for u ;-)
