Please help, my Cingular 8125 does not power up

Urgent helps needed!
So i bricked my Cingular 8125!
I just wanted to upgrade my ROM to the newest AKU 3.2 from Faria.
I did ungrade and errors arised as i described above.
I was told that the fone hadn't been CID unlocked.
I did as what described in lowikiz
-downgrade the rom,
-run enablerapi.cab on my device
-run lowikiz 0.2b
-choose CID unlock
Restarted the fone, what i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.25
GSM 2.47.11
OS 3.0.0
There're only two things fulfill me,that's GSM and the OS.I wanted the
IPL and SPL should be 2.26 or later version.
What i did then :
-Downgrade again (hoping that i forgot to SIM unlock)
-run enablerapi on my device
-run lowikiz 0.2b
-choose unlock
And when the fone restart.
What i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.x.x
OS 1.05.x
when the installation completed, i upgraded the ROM again to AKU3.2
everything went smoothly until it finished.The fone restarted and what i saw was:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
<blank, no GSM version, couldnt believe that>
OS 3.0.0.0
the device kept running until the installation completed.
It restarted again and stopped running.What i can see now is just
nice background and blinking (waited for nearly 15 mins but no futher responses)
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
OS 3.0.0.0
It couldn't get further.
I think i bricked my Cingular 8125.
So could you helpers, experienced users help me with that?
Can i fix it?Or can HTC fix it?
Thank you very much!
mod edit;
the title has been changed as you did not have a bricked phone...if you ever brick you phone belive me,,,u cant restore it at home.

It's not bricked. As long as you can go into bootloader mode, and flash it with Cingular clean ROM you should be fine..

Have you ever read the note from faria? He said NOT to upgrade to AKU 3.2 without IPL/SPL version 2.xx.

You can try to take out you're SIM card, go to the boot screen by pushing the cam button and the on button and flash it again with te original ROM.
Good luck
Sorry for my bad English
or you can try it this way: link

just go into bootloader (camera button + soft reset) and flash that 1.5 ROM, which is able to downgrade.
and then
!Do !NOT! install any 2.x ROM (like farias ) for the 1.x bootloader (ipl/spl)!
before it you could flash any official 2.x ROM ;-)

I'm pretty sure that this was resolved in another thread and not updated here...

(granted there may be a lot of pages to read through to get to the information...but a solution was posted.)

Yes I was pretty sure I saw it resolved in another thread, might have even helped...
Ahh, the joys of posting across threads... makes me feel oh so nice!

Thanks
Thank you friends for all those things.
Things seem to get worse, I couldn't even turn the fone on.I had full charge of batt. before upgrading .After that "accident", i left the fone alone for one night, when i woke up in the morning, tried to turn on the fone but i failed.Tried to enter bootloader mode but failed.The fone now becomes a brick.
-Do you friends know how to revive my fone?
-Do you know where can i have it revived?
Thanks for all!

Leave the battery out for few days, then try again after full charge in BL mode.
TIA

BL Mode????

------------------Thank you very much almozaffar and friends!But how can i full charge the batt. in BL mode?I just have the wall charger as included in the box, a USB cable.What i need in BL mode?
I find no red LED(indicating that the fone's being charge)when i connect the fone with my wall charger as well as with the USB cable.I realise that the batt. gets hot but i'm not sure if it's charged.
Best regards

Someone just told me to remove the batt. for about 2,3 days then recharge, i'm not sure if that works but i'll try.Thank you!

Same problem here!
I have a Cingular 8125, I tried to update it to MDA with IPL/SPL 2.26. I was successfully flashed it. After it turn on, everything work fine, so I turned it off, so that I can inside my sim card. After I inside my simcard, my phone is now can never turn on again. I tried and tried again, there was no used. I plug in the power to the phone, there is no power. When I unplug the power, I see a flash from the screen, or after I remove the battery I see a flash from the screen. I have no idea what it is doing, but i can't turn the power back on. Can some please please help me!
Thanks,

Bricked fone huh? No way!!!
After researching the Wizard, i know how to revive it and do not have to spend a cent!Anyone interested?Please PM me!I'll post later when i have time the whole procedure.
@unknown84: I send u file on how to revive your fone.

How to revive your 8125.
Friends,
First remove your main battery, then plug and unplug the wall charger connecting to your fone, if the RED LED and your Fone screen flash then you can revive your fone(at least it works with my fone,wish you good luck!)
Read these lines carefully before you proceed to the procudure.That really works with my phone(i'm not sure if it works with your fone but i wish you good luck)
*Preparation:
1.Charge the main batt. for 2 hours long.
2.Remove your main batt., charge without the main batt. for 1 minute.
3.Plug and unplug the wall charger for at least 3 times ( main batt. removed) (you'll find that your fone keep flashing, both LED and your Fone screen, by doing this i hope it'll help with waking up the backup batt.)
4.Download the official Cingular 8125 ROM version 2.25(you can find it everywhere)
-Three ways to enter bootloader mode:
a.Hold firmly CAM + Power until Bootloader Mode appears
b.Hold firmly Voice Dial,Rec Button + Power until Bootloader Mode appears
c.Hold firmly CAM + Voice Rec + Power ........
*Procedures to followremember to remove your main batt. before doing hereafter)
1. Hold simultaneously 3 buttons : the CAMERA button, The Voice Recording Button, and the Power button.(or follow one of three ways to enter bootloader mode listed above)
If this doesnt work, do that again by holding those buttons, plug and unplug the wall charger and still keep holding those buttons
(as PLUG and UNPLUG the wall charger, you'll see the Red LED and the screen FLASH, i guess it's the way to WAKE our backup batt UP)
2. Hold those buttons will start the bootloader mode.
3.When your fone's already in the bootloader mode, put the main batt. in
(I'm sure u know what u'll do next if u can start the bootloader mode!!)
4.Unplug your wall charger
5.Plug in the USB cabble connecting to your PC.
6. Start flashing with your 2.25 ROM.
Note: When your fone's in its bootloader mode you can find out if u have a G3 or G4 chipset easily by
looking up at its IPL and SPL. G3 comes with x.xx( ex: 2.25)in both IPL and SPL.G4 comes with x.xx.001 in both IPL and SPL.
If u have a G3 chipset, do as i told u above. If u have a G4 chipset, just download the official ROM for your G4.
Good luck and don't flash again without reading carefully!

You're welcome almozaffar, you did help me with this to find a solution for our users' troubles here.
Thank you too :-D

I have brick
Could you please write for how long did you repeat the steps that you described, before getting BL screen.
THX

Still bricked
It certainly doesn’t work for me. Screen & led flash when taking out usb plug without battery, but that all.

simmilar problem
My HTC Wizard is having simmilar problems but even following these directions, I still cannot revive it.
I know my battery is almost full because when it died it was full. I don't know anyone else with a Wizard so I can't charge it, and this may be where the problem lies: Weather or not the battery is in my phone, whenever I connect wall power, it displays the message "Press send to restore...." and will not charge
When I plug/unplug the wall power with the battery removed, my screen does flash along with the red LED, but only once when I pull the power. Following the directions I have removed the battery and I'm plugging in the wall power jack in an attempt to enter bootloader screen. But just like every time, about three to four seconds after I plug it into the wall, the phone posts the "Press Send to restore factory, blah, blah blah". I don't know if this is part of the problem but it might be.
I've tried almost everything i found on forums, and what I can think of but still to no avail. I can't get my Wizard to enter bootloader mode. I've also tried every method to enter bootloader mode that I could find :/
any suggestions?

Wizard keeps restarting

I hope someone can help here or point me to a post with steps to fix this.
I decided to do a ROM update on 8125 like device (Does not say Cingular or HTC etc. on the cover) But when started said QTek.
I installed the T-Mobile ROM update MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
Now the device starts then shuts down and then strats again then shuts down again. Sometime it makes it all the way to the start menu but most of the time it restarts during booting.
When it does make it to the start menu. The device reboots with in 30 seconds of clicking here and there.
Thanks,

You may be using the update not for your ROM...
Try to hard reset your device by pressing CommManager+VoiceCommand+reset (Release reset while still holding the other two buttons), then press Call button when prompted.

I have tried that many times but no help.
Phone boots
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
Windows Mobile
Reboots
Phone seems to me stuck in loop.
If I take out the battery
Give it a little rest.
Then it boots like normal but as soon as you click here and there the phone auto reboots.
Thanks,

I think you better try if the phone still reboot if it is in bootloader mode (Camera + reset). If so, then it is a hardware fault and software repair should not make any change.
If it stays in bootloader mode without reboot, then maybe the updater placed a bad ROM dump in your flash. Visit the unlocking forum, view the unlocking sticky and follow the instruction to use Button's 1.05 ROM to unlock CID, then flash another ROM.

No phone is not in a boot mode.
I did install the boot 1.05
CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
Then install the
MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
But the phone just keeps rebooting.
Does anyone from where I can download and install the
early release of Cingular 8125.
Thanks,

CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
This ROM is used for CID unlock only, it is NOT a Cingular stock ROM, and you should upgrade to other ROM for day-to-day use because the IPL and SPL is far too old.

Read the how to flash a rom sticky, then read all of the stickies you can find about how to flash a ROM. Read the wiki.
Read, read, read. All of the instructions are available - you just need to take some time and read them.

This may help, the exact same thing happened to me with my touch pro, I thought it was corrupt rom or somthing, however after looking into every aspect of this and trying everything I found the fault. It was my left hand battery pin in the back of the phone, it was bent at a lower angle to its two other friends. I carfully levelled them all out and raised them slightly and the phone was instantly cured. Try it I hope it sorts you out.

I would also suspect a bad battery issue. If you have not recently messed with the pins, I would right off suspect the battery. You must be ultra careful when bending any pins. I would first replace the battery. I had a battery that was up to 100% then dropped right off to 0 as soon as I attempted to make a call. Also it is common for the chargers to go bad. I had a wall charger that actually seemed to drain the battery overnight. I replace it with the battery and problem solved. Try batteries plus it is a chain store and they will have your battery and charger. Good luck. And one last thing try and charge with a wall charger or usb most of the time. It is much better on your battery then a car charger.

Cannot Flash Original Rom

First off, anyone on this forum who has contributed anything, I am have the deepest respect for, and my favorites will get donations as soon as I have money. Ok enough a$$ kissing.
So here is my problem:
I flashed it's right's TNT 6.1 19919 after hardspling. After many problems, like pseudo-hard resetting (turning off, losing all but 6% battery, and changing the date back to what it was originally i.e. 1/27/06) while in a phone call and doing the same while using the wifi, i hard reset and still the same problems occurred. so I undid the hardspl, so now i am back to 2.25.001 in the bootloader but when i connect it to the computer (winxp) to flash the original rom (cingular 2.25) it freezes at 91%. If anyone has had this problem occur or knows the solution as to get ANY rom back on it, IT would be greatly appreciated.
Also after doing some reading I tried to flash wizard love 2.26 to it and that freezes at about 50-60%. so I am stuck and it is really annoying.
Full 8 hour charge, restart computer, different usb port. Same happens: Error 302 Update Error

Hum... maybe when you reCID locked it, you put a CID that's not for that official ROM you're trying to flash. The misbehavior of the phone is due to the ROM you had, not the CID Unlock. If I'm not mistaken, you can hardSPL it again, from bootloader. Then you can try and flash any other ROM you wish. Give my ROM (WM5SE rev5 - if your phone can handle 240MHz - or rev4) a go, after you have CID Unlocked your phone.

My phone can take up to 273 but, all the roms i flashed were g4 safe.... because the ipl spl never changed and i checked them in shell tool . it gives me a update error 302 which wizard love documentation says that the "phone needs a new rom code" which implies that it needs to be taken to cingular, and i dont think i can lie that well. how would one "accidentally" put their phone into bootloader?

You have posted present IPL/SPL 2.25.001,is it 2.25.001 or .0001 ?
As you removed 'HardSPL',did you reflash the appropriate IPL/SPL regarding your phones official bootloader IPL/SPL...?
You shud do the 'HardSPL' again and either do the removal of HardSPL again correctly as instructed in the sticky ' How to remove HardSPL' or Flash any other Rom to recover.
Cheers!

no it was 2.25.001 just a typo. i think i will try these suggestions when i get home and i will post my findings.

8125 bootloader stuck

ok, im inbetween a newb and a full out destructive force to any type of moddable device and im having a little bit of trouble with my cingular 8125. ive had this phone for a few months and i am having the hardest time dealing with the rom on the phone now. ill give a quick breifing on it:
got it with original cingular rom, not sure what spl or ipl on it but the first thing i did was unlock it by myself, cid and sim unlocked, and then updated to a jaguar wm 6.1 rom which worked fine. decided i was going to unfortunately sell this phone so i decided to upgrade it one more time to see if i really wanted to sell it, i then bought the upgrade to go past my 2.21 ipl and spl. i got my unlocker and followed my instructions and got a brick. but not a full brick. its stuck in the bootloader screen. after reading countless threads, i learned that i should be able to just still update a rom to the phone with no problems which actually works, but as soon as a rom completes it goes right back to my bootloader screen so help me! please cuz now thats its a challenge again, i want the phone! plus all my info is on the phone still back up

Flash the official stock ROM first, then use Button's ROM to downgrade your IPL and SPL before unlocking CID.

post the present IPL/SPL it displays now.Which rom you are trying to flash now ?

ok when i try to put the most current 8125 rom on my phone (2.25.blah) it tells me that its not the same phone which is weird but thats preventing me from putting the original rom on the phone. however if i try and put the buton rom on the phone now, it will go through completely and say it put it on the phone, but when it restart, its right back to the bootload screen...
and im running IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21 with a previous installation of a jaguar rom, dont know exactly which one, but i know it was a jaguar rom. but right before i tried to upgrade the updater, i went back to my default WM5 rom so i guess it was te basic 2.21 rom on the phone with WM5

WEIRD !
You got mixed Bootloaders of G3 And G4,IPL 2.21.0001 is G4 and SPL 2.21 is G3,as you posted,well,can't say which was original,only you can tell,but some how its mixed Bootloaders,in this situation no Rom will flash,its a 'Brick'.

If as Zabardast says its bricked then you have three options:
1. Get a new Wizard
2. Get a new Wizard Motherboard
3. Get a Wizard with broken LCD from eBay and replace its LCD with your current one and Enjoy!!! (Cheapest)

lol this is tough! but no worries, ill be back with some other pda at some point and time and then ill try and take this phone apart! but the weird thing about my wizard is that this only happened when i tried to update the phone with the CID unlock program that you have to pay for!
lol it was perfectly fine until i tried to do it! oh well, back to my crappy p168!

May be that CID Unlock program was not meant to be for a G3 and you were updating a G3 so it mixed you IPL/SPL and caused a kinda BRICK. So please be careful before doing flashing things because if you dont be carefull then your PPC may become a heavy paper weight, and a costy one too. LOL. TC

Cingular 8125 problems
Ok guys i am really pissed i have been looking for three days and cant find it, first off my IPL is at 1.01 and the SPL is at 2.25 and i cant fix it i wanted to install the original 2.25 again and start from scratch but can not find the damn thing so if anyone has it can u just upload it fo me and give me a link that i can get it at please i am sick and tired of waitnin i really like this phone and i dont want to risk bricking it thanks.

Ok, grimgod, aggression is reaaaallly ugly and no freakin one will help with that sh!t attitude (pardon the language, mods). The senior members do everything they can to help the noobs. Have you tried reading the flashing guide, wiki, or tutorial? I'd bet even money you haven't. Have you CID unlocked? Did you flash the button rom twice ( as the guide suggested to get ipl/spl both 2.xx)? Did you flash the official tmo rom (found im the flashing guide)? Have you done anything other than sit on your hands and wait for it to be handed to you? READ AND SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831 <HERE!!!!!!!!!! Should I flash your device, too?

Similar issue... need some Wizard Expertise
I picked up a coworkers old Cingular 8125 that he'd had in a drawer for about a year. Battery was right dead so the phone wouldn't boot. I charged the battery on an external charger for a few minutes, put it back into the phone, and plugged it in to the charger until the LED went green indicating a full charge.
When I power up I see the T-Mobile splash screen (light gray background, some square dots, and the "T-Mobile" logo). And there it stays indefinitely.
Tried a hard reset (Comm Mgr + Voice Cmd + Soft Reset), and it said "Press Send to restore factory default". Pressed the green dialer key (I assume that's send), and it says Format FAT partition, FAT partition complete, and then returns to the same T-Mobile splash screen and hangs there.
So then I tried putting it into Boot Loader manually (Power On + Camera). No problem, shows IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26. Plug it into the computer USB port (running XP Pro), and then the USB connection shows on the phone. Attempted to flash the Wizard Love ROM to get this thing back to square-one. Error 260. Attempted to flash the T-Mobile stock ROM. Error 260.
Between each flash attempt, I'm pulling the battery out and starting fresh. I think I've followed all the steps I'm finding in multiple threads. But for some reason I'm not able to get this thing to communicate via USB. All RUU's give an Error 260. Am I missing something?

Forgot to mention I'm following the steps outlined in this thread from Dr P. To the letter!
Also did a little reading up on using the MTTY method in this thread by Drug_Store. Thought maybe the existing ROM might be intact, and I might be able get it to a 256MB MiniSD, then write the backup ROM from SD in boot loader. Well, for some reason I don't even see the USB connection option when I use the MTTY - can't ever get to a point where I can issue commands. Again, I think I'm following the instruction. But still no juice.

Nudge, nudge. I'd donate for a solution that works... otherwise I have to keep letting my 10 year old play The Quest on my phone.

Wizard stuck on three-colour screen IPL/SPL after attempt to unlock

I have a wizard (wiza110) running wm5 and i wanted to upgrade it. It was the first time i was trying such thing. I was following these instructions http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard%20Windows%20Mobile%206%20for%20newbies. My device is g3. My first attempt was with Button Rom, everything was fine until 99%... i think it was error 302 or something. I took off the battery and plugged it again several times but nothing came out. I had the three-colour screen.
Then I tried The Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe, still nothing, lokiwiz also...
Last attempt was with wizard Love. USB appears but the ruu can't see the device and stops the process
Any ideas?

i think the device was sim-unlocked...

Flash back to the original rom, charge the battery to 100%. Make a guest connection to windows and start reading this thread from the beginning

do you have a link for the original rom? the thing is that ipl is 1.05 and spl is 2.25

Based on my experience and what I've read here, I'm guessing that your original rom had ipl and spl both 2.25. When you installed the button rom, it updated the ipl but nothing else. Just a guess, but that's what happened to me the first time on my G3. I just re-flashed button rom and continued from there. You should try to find the original rom for whatever kind of phone you have (I mean, the rom from the service provider like Orange, AT&T, etc). Their latest rom might not be 2.25. For example, my phone originally came from T-Mobile. I have the T-Mobile rom that is I think 2.26. I keep it handy, but have only reflashed back to that rom once when my extended rom got messed up.
Read the link suggested above. Good stuff. It is possible to flash a phone that is stuck on the tri-color screen, but it might not work the first try.

Same thing here, just youre getting further
I have ipl and spl on 2.26 received it this way. It's G3. I've been a week looking through the forums. Trying to avoid posting here. But damn it. I can't seem to get anything right. I previously had the G1 and Juno, Flashing was a breeze. But here i feel lost.
Basically my problem is i can't get it to downgrade. upgrade. CID unlock, With neither Lokiwiz or WST. A pain. And really NO RUU runs past the 0% it reboots my phone to boot loader image and USB shows but it reads that it can't find my phone anymore. It's been charged to 100%. Deleted TEMP folder. Was guest under activesync. Changed my USB cables 10 times. It's frustrating. Please. Any suggestions??
