So tell me if you think I have a brick

I was doing the cid unlock process, and the downgrade stopped at 98 percent on the phone, and 99 percent on the computer, then the bootloader program closed it self. Now when I turn on my 8125 i have a red green and blue screen with ipl and spl at 2.25. what can i do now? thanks in advance guys.

Re-connect your device to your PC, on that Red/Blue/Green screen, called the bootloader, does it say USB in the bottom left? If so, flash your device with your carriers latest official ROM. You can not use a custom ROM. Once your back up and running, try the CID unlock process again.

yeah i did that, got back to cingular 2.25. i am trying to downgrade again but it still doesnt work. phone stops at 98 percent, computer stops at 99. whats going on? any ideas?
thanks by the way

How long is it hanging at 98%? Most ROMS do hang around that time, but typicaly not more than a few minutes.
Read the following thread for downgrading, and un-locking. your G3 device.

Thanks to Dr. P

i am following that to the T but during the first downgrade it will hang at 98 percent for well over 30 min. then i give up, unhook the phone, go to bootloader screen and load the cingular 2.25 to get going again.

update on the brick
here is an update.
i bricked it.
jacob walked me through several steps and i think i may have had a g4 phone, but some how the ipl and spl was reading 2.25
btw this phone came to me through the cingular warranty program. so luckely i still have my old 8125 that i was turning in for cosmetic reasons.
so bottom line,
i could not flash to 1.05
tried to cid unlock anyways ...... failed
tried to flash molskis anyways ....failed
tried to turn a phone into a brick.PASS
now its time to turn this one in for another one. hopefully ill get a g3 this time

Instead of flashing to 1.05 next time, try downgrading to the Cingular 1.18 rom. I used it to downgrade and had no problems with unlocking.

If you can get to the multicolored screen (bootloader mode) its not bricked!

When I first installed a rom I did not understand the difference in sim unlock and cid unlock...I ran a rom update that was supposed to do a cid unlock but it didn't support the 2.XX rom....later I found you had to downgrade to a 1.xx version for lokiwiz to work..then go back to 2.xx...anyway..I ended up with a phone that would only go to bootloader.
I was able to get my providers rom reinstalled..then I did what everyone always says is the first thing you should do...I used the patched version of teraterm to dump my rom to a minisd card.
Now if I fubar the phone as long as I can get to the bootloader screen (even if usb is not working) all I have to do is insert that minisd, turn on the phone and click YES when it asks if I want to load from minisd.
I highly recommend that EVERYONE make a backup to restore to before doing anything to their phone..it only takes a few minutes.

Bricked?

I just tried using ShellTool to install the flash Xplore onto my phone, it's a G4, CID locked. But, when ShellTool reported that it was done, I went to unplug my phone and hard reset it, but I accidentally held one wrong button, and put it into bootloader mode. Then, I realized what I had done, then hard restarted it the right way, and now all that comes up is the initial boot screen, with the new OS listed as 10.2.0.8, but it just stays there.
What do you think?

i think if you can get your wizard into bootloader then you dont have a brick. Please try to put your phone into bootloader mode then flash wizard love or your carriers rom. Then you can attempt shell tool again

Doesn't the phone have to be CID unlocked to flash the Love ROM with RUU? I have Wizard Love 2.26 10.2 WWE Novii CF2, will that work with my G4 device since it is CID locked?

My device is cid-locked G4 and wizard love worked fine flashing from RUU, so did my carriers rom.

Sorry for asking but ive checked the search and i cant seem to find it. Im looking for the original ROM 1.5 i think it was for the wizard...my phone wont do anything but go to the bootloader screen even after ive flashed it to 2.6 so im thinking i need to do the original ROM...anyways does anyone know where i can find it and download it? thanks for any help guys

oh i flashed it to what i think was 2.0...still the same bootloader problem but now it says IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.01...but still stuck at the bootlader screen...

Flash button rom:

Have you read and followed this and the steps it points you to?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
I assume you have a G3 since you are flashing these other roms, and based on the IPL/SPL numbers you are giving. You need to give us specifics of what you have done, what happened at each step and where you are at now. Details are a good thing, as its hard to diagnose with just bits of the information. At one point you say 2.6 (no idea what that is) then you say you are stuck at 1.01, and now you say 2.26. So please tell us (in gory detail!) what all you have done...
If you follow all the steps in the thread above you will get CID Unlocked, but at the point where you are now, you need to flash YOUR PROVIDER's original rom to get back to a known state. Then try doing the CID Unlock.

alright i was using molskis 3.0 and for some reason sometimes my phone would not dial or connect so i restart it once every few days...well i did a simple restart and when my phone turned back on it was on the bootloader screen with IPL and SPL of 2.26...i figured i would have to flash the rom again or go to an earlier one...so i get home and try to flash molskis 3.0 again...right after it finishes and restarts itself it comes up with the bootloader screen again...now at this point im thinking i might have to do an earlier one like the original t-mobile rom and so i tried that...same problem stuck at the bootloader screen but with IPL and SPL of 1.01...so i post and then vippie tells me to download the button rom...i try that and no luck still the same problem and i followed those steps exactly and no luck...so now my phones just sitting on my nightstand charging with a bootloader screen and nothing else and the IPL and SPL says 2.26...could it be internal damage or what? i like my phone and dont wanna have to spend the money on a new one but at this point im thinking i might have to...thanks mfrazzz for offering your help...i know i seem like a noob and i really suck at punctuation but im not stupid so anything you guys tell me to do in detail i will be able to try

I don't follow you anymore.... you got IPL/SPL 1.01 and tried to flash button rom, after this your IPL/SPL is 2.26? Impossible....
Sometimes it won't go past bootloader no matter what you do... do this to revive:

Help... MDA stuck in bootup

ok so after reading many many times and attempting to flash to 1.05 which worked but i was never able to upgrade. I used the shell tool to try and get XM6R5 to flash and it locked up. since then the phone now starts to boot but locks in on the button rom (from button with love) and shows
IPL 1.05
SPL 3.08
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
After sitting on this bootup screen for over a minute the picture looks shaky??
So i attempted to reflash to 1.05 again and it goes all the way to 100% and tells me successful and reboots then locks up! So i try to flash back to Tmobile rom and i get a 296 error: ERROR {296} : UPGRADE ONLY This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. please get new NBF file.
The usb and active sync wont work either.
I even held the comm and voice button and pushed reset and tried to format and it says format failed.
Please help, i now wish i never attempted to flash to WM6. This is a brand new replacement MDA and i figured i would attempt to upgrade it before i did anything and now it seems locked!

ok,as long as it gets stuck at the loading splash screen of button's rom,it ain't dead yet.
First,how did you get SPL 3,08 ?,did you flash the ipl/spl 3.08 before flashing the button's rom 1,05 ?
Secondly,There was no need to upgrade with 'Shell Tool',after downgrading to ipl/spl 1.xx by button's rom,you shud have used 'lokiwiz02b' to SIM/CID unlock the phone and upgraded to any wm6 Rom.Try to get the phone in bootloaders mode(Tricolor screen),if it gets there,download the official carrier's rom of your phone from its website and flash it in the bootloaders to bring the phone back to its default status.After that downgrade with button's rom 1.05 and SIM/CID unlock your phone with 'lokiwiz02b' and upgrade to wm6.

its very hard to brick it fortunatly
let us know if you succeeded , it might help others

I flashed to 1.05, then tried tmobile 2.26, once i did that i upgraded to 3.08 which made ipl/spl 3.08. I tried several times to reflash to 1.05 again and the ipl changed back but the spl stays at 3.08. I have flashed several times to 1.05 and the spl will not change from 3.08(how can i make it do this) So now that the 3.08 is stuck there the original tmobile rom wont install and it gives me a 296 error when attempted.
I have taken the battery out and gotten into bootloader on reboot however, when i flash to 1.05 or tmobile and it goes thru the cycle... once it gets to 100%(I also get the pop up that says upgrade successful and hit ok) the phone reboots and then gets stuck again in the splash screen?!?! then the screen gets shaky looking as well?

oh and i used the shell tool because everytime i downloaded the button rom the ipl only changed to 1.05 the spl would never change from 2.26 to 1.05 and i tried several times to flash. then using lokiwiz2b it would NEVER unlock the phone. Kept giving me an internal error. Maybe because the extracting of lokiwiz automatically would open the program when i downloaded in mozilla firefox? is this IE use only maybe?
So anyhow i thot shell tool would be best to use since i couldnt unlock it. Guesss not.
I wish one of you guys lived right down the street so we could do this together or maybe i just call one of you geniouses

hmmmm, thats the mistake.After downgrading to ipl/spl 1.xx after flashing button's 1.05,you shud have first sim/cid unlocked the phone and then flashed t-mobile 2,26 to upgrade to ipl/spl 2.xx.Then shud have upgraded to any wm6 roms,upgrading to ipl/spl 3.08 is not at all necessary for upgrading to wm6,but an option,where as,ipl/spl 2.xx is only required for wm6 upgrading.
You,instead,of getting your phone sim/cid unlocked,flashed and upgraded to 3.08,but to sim/cid unlock,its required to have 1.xx,now it won't downgrade to 1.xx with button's rom.Its very commonly observed that after upgrading to 3.08 without getting the phone sim/cid unlocked,it becomes a pain in a** to downgrade to 1.xx and unlock.Now its a catch22 situation,where it doesn't downgrade to 1.xx for unlocking and nor accepting any other rom flash,its stuck at splash screen at 3.08.
Now,the only solution is to get the phone back to its default status.Try to flash either official stock rom,button's rom,if button's don't work,try the xda_minis_launch rom or the wizard_love_rom in the bootloaders mode.You got to keep your patience and it might take several flashes with either of these roms to get through.
Good luck !!!

thank you, im going to attempt all this now, ill keep everyone posted!

ok heres the scoop...
ive tried the tmobile official rom 2.26 upgrade and the xda_minis_launch rom and the wizard_love_rom (Love rom seems to be in a foreign language and gives a error 300) in the bootloaders mode and every time it will refuse to read the usb and gives me either a 264 or 296 error with these roms. Not sure why the phone says its not connected for the above roms but will read buttons rom still saying its not connected
The only rom that seems to read for whatever reason is buttons rom and i have flashed it 5 times at least now and always tells me it works but then gets stuck in bootloader with a glass of beer and the same ipl-1.01 spl- 3.08 gsm- 01.12.10 os- 1.5.4.2
so i dont know what to do!! there must be someway to get this thing to work!

Yes ! I understand it sometimes becomes very annoying and frustrating,but you got to keep cool. believe me and I can assure you there's nothing wrong with your phone as long as it can get into bootloaders.It's just that the bootloaders have got corrupted and stuck on spl 3.08,its only spl 3.08 which is creating all the problem,untill and unless it doesn't downgrade to either spl 1.xx or 2.xx,it'll not be possible to flash any other rom.now the only way to get the bootloaders corrected is to flash any official rom to bring both ipl/spl to 1.xx or 2.xx.
ok,when you get the phone in bootloaders and connect the phone via usb,does a small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloaders screen ? forget about the activesync for a while,cuz activesync doesn't work or get connected in bootloaders.The only way to verify if the phone has established connectivity with the pc is to verify if usb appears in the bootloaders.Rather I'll suggest you to delete the partnership with pc in activesync and uncheck the option 'allow usb connections' in the Async.If its verified that usb appears and has connection in bootloaders then you are good to go and run RUU,but if there's a problem and it doesn't show in bootloaders then your usb is not establishing proper connection.In that case,either the usb cable is faulty or the mini usb port of the phone is damaged.Check and verify this.
Secondly,lets try to flash the Rom with replaced RUU like 'RomUpdateUtility_wizard_Noid', or 'newromupdateutility_wizard_noid' or 'Ruu_Mun',you can find them in the forum.Either copy and replace it with ruu in the rom or copy and past 'nk_nbf' in the rom to the folder of these RUU and try to flash in the bootloaders,but first confirm the connectivity of the phone via usb as explained above. Hope this might do the trick,lets hope so!!!
Cheers!

ok,was your phone CID unlocked when you did back up with sdcard using 'Mtty' program ? cuz its not possible to go through recovering back by this method if the phone is CID locked,the rom will not back up to sdcard,it'll give error.Here his phone is still Cid locked and he has upgraded to 3.08,now it won't let him downgrade to ipl/spl 1.xx to use lokiwiz02b and SIM/CID unlock his phone.
Cheers!

ok here is the problem im having now. ANY ROM i attempt to flash to in bootloaders mode or 3 colored screen WILL NOT WORK! it gives me a 264 error on any of them besides button rom. I have tried several times to upload tmobiles official rom and it tells me i have to get a newer nbf file!
I pop the battery out and wait a few seconds and then hold camera button and power, (now in bootloaders) i then plug in usb and the USB letters do show on the bottom left hand side. I also disabled allow usb connection on active sync.
i wish i understood why no other rom except buttons will flash? even muns ruu wont work, it gives me a 300 error invalid update tool!
