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
John
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:

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.

I have an BA XDA2s, and was attempting to upgrade ROM to latest WM5 version. Got as far as going into bootloader mode, and running BAupgradeUT. Mid update the programe said it had lost connection to phone (pretty sure i didnt accidentally disconnect it). My xda is now stuck with a blank screen with nothing except v2.08 at the botttom, and either USB or Serial at the top (depending on weather on cradle or not). I tried running BAupgradeUT again - but it has a connection error before it even starts now.
During the update my computer said that it had detected new hardware, and started trying to install drivers for it, but got stuck when it couldnt find "wceusbsh.sys" file in my windows dir. (i forget which im afraid ...)
im perfectly happy to accept any solution - including ones that involve restoring the retail rom - i just want my phone back. can anyone help me, or am i royally screwed? thanks in advance...........
****...I fu**ed things up 2:S What to do now?
i think ive solved mine - if your having the same problem as me, i can give ya a hand... otherwise - im probably not the best person to talk to ......
well...tell me please, because i know what i did wrong...no extrom on my sd card...
right well - im pretty new at this, so bear with me
basically i eventually solved the problem by locating the file that it couldnt find, and when i had located that file, it had no problems communicating with the phone. so i ran the update again - and it worked fine...
afaik - the screen blank screen with v2.08 is just the normal screen while it waits for the rom to be uploaded.....
hth..... if not then its out of my leauge
ok..i'll try again:S
Hi all,
I have been visiting these forums for 2 years now and have downloaded some great tools and ROMs to enhance my Trinity, however something all of a sudden has gone very wrong!
I upgraded to WM6.1 Elegance edition about 3/4 months ago, CID unlocked the phone about a month ago and everything has been working like a dream.
However just today, I attempted to turn the volume down on my phone during a meeting (I always forget to normally!) and there was no display. After few battery resets, again no display. It starts up, loads the the Elegance splash screens and then hangs on the screen before when the OS should appear.
My decision was to flash the ROM again. I cant flash using Activesync as it wont pick up on the hung screen, so I started the bootloader and got as far as 1% of the flash and it will restart. So I tried the SD Card method when resulted in a "loading" screen appearing for a few seconds and then it goes back to the standard bootloader and displayed a 00068002 error.
I am out of ideas, I hear mtty.exe is a good program for this kind of thing, but what I want to know is if this is fixable or if I should give up!
I have been working on this since 2pm today none stop!
Can any of you guys give me any suggestions please?!?!?
Kind regards,
Jonathan
Should be a cinch
Did you SPL the Phone before flashing roms?
If you put the phone into the bootloader mode The RGB screen and kill of activesync you should be able to run one of the flash update programs.
If I have flashing problems its usually Active sync so I kill it then run the flash program.
I've got a sneaky suspision your battery might be causing the problem.
Hi there, thanks for the reply. As I was new to upgrading I havent used SPL on the phone before flashing the ROMS. I did use an unlock tool recently as i wanted to try a different network SIM to see if it worked when I was in South America, so the phone is unlocked to all networks. Are you saying if I SPL now it should sort the problem out? If so how do I do this withour ActiveSync working - can you use SD?
Another thing I failed to mention was that when I start an upgrade and it follows all the steps, it doesnt say the current ROM on the screen where you press update ROM. It just gives the name of the new ROM and the current one is left blank.
I have disabled Active Sync before attempting the update. It seems to go through fine and then the phone restarts wafter 1% of the update.
What makes you think it is the battery? I am happy to spend under 20 pound on ebay if you think it will fix the issue!
try unbrick.bat.......my trinity was also stuck.......unbrick.bat save my day....
The same happened to me several time....I could not find a solution other than this one:
1. Flash the official HTC ROM.
2. Flash the required ROM then.
it works for my TrinTy.
I've searched and asked for help for months and I can't find anything.
My Sprint Touch Diamond is F'd. I tried flashing an unofficial ROM to it, and on the reboot process, it won't turn back on. In fact, it constantly resets...every time I turn it on, or even placing it on the charger it will turn itself on and keep resetting.
I need to know if it's bricked or if there is anyway of getting it to work again. Someone please please please help, im pretty desperate for advice. Thanks in advance.
Did you install the HardspL? Anyways try to hold down the volume down button and the power button while you push the reset button. If it brings you to a multi-colored screen connect it to the USB and flash another Rom. Make sue it is a CDMA if your phone is CDMA.
Yeah, if you can get it into bootloader you should be able to reflash the shipped rom from your carrier. Use the exe. I would flash it at least twice.
i believe its cdma. it was brand new from sprint.

Hi Lawler read this first >>> Click Here

HTC Stock Rom >>> Click Here
If you can get into bootloader mode(press vol down + power)until you see the tricolor bars then you're ok you can either flash the stock rom or unlock it then install a custom rom.
HTH
ive searched these forums for an answer for months and have found nothing, It wont go past the boot screen. Ive tried about ten different roms, which have worked before. Hard reset doesn't do anything, and MTTY is a joke. I am willing to pay anyone who can help me get this thing working, im a desperate man at the moment!

Can you get it into the bootloader? If you cant then your probably out of luck. If you can, flash HSPL, unlock your phone, and flash a ROM.

Yes, it goes into the bootloader. I've flashed a hard spl, it's unlocked. I just tried your rom that makes 12 that I've tried. The same thing happens. The phone turns on to the Touch DIAMOND screen with the red rom info on the bottom and it will not go any farther. Hard resetting does the same thing. I've tried using MTTY, I've tried stock sprint roms.
I know i can get it to work. This same thing happened before and my diamond didnt work for months. One day i decided, ill give it another try and flashed pegasus 6.1 and it worked like a champ ever since. I tried like 4 other roms too and they worked just fine.
I was using PMD's 2.5 rom when it crashed. I deleted all of my text messages, and then the phone froze and didn't turn back on. When I tried to reflash the rom is where im at now...stuck in the boot screen.
I've never been in the bootloader on my Diamond myself, it won't open
If there are diagnostics tools, try them out. Also try flashing on a different PC and OS or with a different cable. Disable antivirus software may also help.
I think I'm sol man. Still no luck.
