Help! Stuck at DeviceLock after upgrading to 1.6.7.1

By mistake I put a version of 1.6.7.1 ROM on my new cingular 8125 and now I keep the following error followed by a reboot:
Devicelook: You have illegally acquired this ROM! This ROM is only for phones sold by Ace-Hellas and their distribution channel.
Any ideas on how I can get a working ROM on my 8125 again?
Thanks!

Can't you put the Wizard into Boot Loader mode and re-flash with the correct ROM????

Recover Wizard
Recently, I purchased an MDA and upgraded it to AKU2.0. Then for the heck of it wanted to go back. Well my system hung and i ended up with a phone that would hang on the splash screen.
You have to enter 3 color usb mode by doing a hard reset once, then do a hard reset and it comes to a black screen and asks press send to hard reset or press another key to quite. Go Ahead and quit but keep holding the camera and voice command key. It will go to an htc screen and start blacking out then plug a usb cable from the computer into the phone and it should pull up 3 color mode. Then you want to use an executable form of a rom and you should be good to go.
the 3 color mode is tricky to get into though it took me about 5-10 minutes to get into it the second time.

wow, talk about making something more complicated then it is.
let me simplify your process, to get into "three color mode" which is usb boot mode, hold the voice command button and press the soft reset with the stylus. The device will soft reset, but keep holding the voice command button and it will go into usb boot mode.

Thanks fontastic
Thanks for that simplification. I read about how to get into three color mode using awizard. But your instructions clear things up.

Cant get BA into bootloader mode after WM5

I have tried for weeks now to get my imate pda2k into bootloader mode but it will not. Just goes to the stripes and the to wm5. any Ideas?
Yes I do know what to push to get it there but no joy

silly question but when you presso the power button + camera and then you press the soft reset button with the stylus, do you keep pressing wth the stylus for a moment?
i have to wait some 3 seconds before i go into bootloader mode

no bootloader mode
Yes tried that, and all other combinations that I can think of. It just goes to the Stripe color screen then shows at the bottom the rom, radio, etc then the WM5 screen.

Test camera button

Yous hould hold the three buttons for a while, but if you have problem with one of them it is not possible to do hard reset

I think you shold hard reset your BA first before you next try
good luck

tried all of above
Yes tried all of your suggestions, I guess must be a button problem (power button I think) Altho its the same as when I get it to upgrade to WM5. But now, You know when you press power rs and camera/record? and the the envelope key to get the no yes yes screen? as soon as I take my fingers off the keys, its gone, doesnt stay there like b4 till options are changed. They r all set to default of no. How do u check to see if the bootloader software is on the pda?

Press record (button above slider) + power button + SR at bottom.
Then you are in bootloader.

You can actually test without guessing if the power button is working: press & does the device turn on/off? Try (not guess) the other buttons as well.
Without being rude, do a sanity check. disregard all your assumptions that you are doing things right & follow the procedure as below (taken from the Wiki pages):
-------------------------------------
Put your device into bootloader mode:
* Press Power + record (above the volume slider) + softreset at the same time. You should see a white screen with "Serial" text on it and the Bootloader version.
-------------------------------------
Hardreset based on Screen Information
* Press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes shows on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
* Quickly press Record+Camera before the versions appears at bottom right or,
* press Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
Quickly press Record+Windows Media before the versions appears at bottom right or,
* press Power+Softreset+Windows Media Player button+Record at the same time.
Either way mentioned above should work.
You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes".
Cheers!

WM6 stuck in password mode

Installed WM6.1 CEOS 20262.Build 19949 Aku1.2 on to my pda2k.
Was wrapped with results, was able to use my supertooth handsfree again etc until today.
Went to use it today and it was stuck in the password screen. It would not accept the password I had set earlier and will not accept a hard reset.
Any Suggestions
Regards Craig

Looks like i found it.

Stuck in password mode
I have the same problem with mine. The link that you pasted is not working, how do i resolve this problem.

Do a hard reset - stylus Reset and power button
Before the rom info comes up at the bottom of the screen press camera and record together.
This will come up with the boot selections at top of screen
Use the camera button to scroll and the record button to change set the options from top to bottom
No
Yes
Yes
then press the email button to accept.
Let WM 6 load.
Calibrate screen.
skip the password and email selections
Wait for everything to finish setting up
Then go into settings and set password from the key option.
Hope this helps

Changed over to Rom
ROM WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20226 (Build 20226.1.3.0 PV DVH)
Which I found better suited my needs and am back to the same password problem again. Seems not to like being connected to the computer.
As soon as I cradle it the computer asks me to unlock and back to incorrect password.
Something must be overwriting the password entry.

hey mate i had this exact same problem, to get it to connect with the oc when it is passworded do this
press and hold the power button then while still pressing the power button press and hold the top left side button, then while still holding these in poke the reset hole. it will go into serial mode. now dock it with the pc and flash a wm2003 rom, after thats done flash a 6.1 rom at will. worked for me!

Is my wizard totally bricked?

hi, please! need help... after I've flash the
Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 on my G3 device the rom is very slowly and my PC doesn't recognized my wizard when it connected with the USB cable.
any solution how can I change this rom?
many thanks

i can go to the tri-color bootloader mode, is it say somthing?

mine did that yesterday....maybe try a hard reset:
Hold down the Comm Manager button(top left) and Voice Command button(top right) buttons while performing a soft-reset (depress the reset button using the stylus); after you depress the soft-reset button, [contintue to hold the two side buttons] hold down the navigation pad for ~4 seconds until you are prompted on screen [you can release the side buttons now]. Press the Send (Talk) button (i.e. the left telephony button) - or whichever button your system prompts you for.
That's what I did and it worked for me =)

thanks but it doesn't work, the main problem is that after the hard reset the rom is very very slowly (like 7-8 seconds from the moment you tap the "start" till the start menu come)
the PC doesn't recognized my wizard so i can't change to another rom....

I can get into the tri-color mode, does it say that maybe it's not bricked?

[TUT] Installing new custom ROM using phone

In this guide i am going to explain you how to install a custom ROM using phone.
You need PC just to copy ROM on memory card, nothing more, nothing less.
First thing you need to do, is to check do you have Hard-SPL installed on your XPeria X1, follow next two steps to check that.
1. Turn off you phone.
2. Hold volume down button and PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON, hold these two buttons pressed until three-colored screen shows up.
If in top left corner of the screen shows
"SPL-0.72.OliNex" (or what version you have)
That's important, if that is not shown, DO NOT CONTINUE!
POWER button will not work, so remove cover and battery, and put it back on.
Install ROM :
1. Power on phone
2. Connect your XPeria X1 to PC in Disk Drive mode.
3. Transfer the custom ROM you want to install on ROOT of memory card and make sure that it's named "kovsimg.nbh" (Sometimes when you download custom ROM, there will be several files in that ZIP/RAR you downloaded, but you only need ".nbh" file, and if that ".nbh" file is named "ruu_signed.nbh" rename it to "kovsimg.nbh")
4. Disconnect phone from USB, and shutdown phone.
5. Hold volume down button and PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON, hold these two buttons pressed until three-colored screen shows up.
6. Three-colored screen will stays for one or two second, and then there will be a message on screen
"KOVSIMG.nbh - "
"OS - "
"Press the power button to start the update image"
"Press Action button to cancel update image"
PRESS POWER BUTTON, and installation begins.
7. When it reaches 100% it will say "UPDATE SUCCESSFULL". Again, POWER BUTTON will not work, so remove cover and battery, and put it back on, but don't power on phone.
8. (IMPORTANT) I strongly reccomend to HARD RESET PHONE BUT BEFORE YOU EVER BOOT IT!
9. Hard Reset - (Phone is off) Press two buttons below screen (left and right) and hold it, and press the power button UNTIL VIBRATE, then release the power button, BUT STILL HOLD TWO BUTTONS BELLOW THE SCREEN (IMPORTANT)
10. It's shown "This operation will delete all your personal data and reset all the settings to the manufacturer default settings, press "R" to restore manufacturer defaults or press "X" to cancel." Slide keyboard and press "R" wait for a few seconds, and it will show "Restore completed press Space to restart" so press space and slide in keyboard.
You have successfully installed your first custom ROM, now align screen and set date & time, and that's it. First time, it will take three to four minutes to boot, that's called "Cold Boot"

another great thread
"9. Hard Reset - (Phone is off) Press two buttons below screen (left and right) and hold it, and press the power button UNTIL VIBRATE, then release the power button, BUT STILL HOLD TWO BUTTONS BELLOW THE SCREEN (IMPORTANT)"
this step is extremely important. i messed up the first time and my phone was noticably slow lol.

Thank you again yeaah, i messed up the first time also, becase it wasn't explaint very well

I have to say I liked the "Task 29" thread better. A lot of information here is redundant. In principle both threads describe the same process (SD card flashing).
Only this one is Task 29 short (which suposedly is important in flashing).
I expected this thread to describe the USB flashing method, which is in fact different. But it's more-or-less the same really... with more detailed naming descriptions... but minus Task 29.
The other thread has the potential to be a complete guide to SD flashing. Only steps missing is Hard-SPL - if it hasn't been done already. This one - less so.

Okay, there is maybe redundant information, but i wanted to people know what exactly will phone show, and exactly what to do! Little more information won't harm, but a half-explained instruction may lead to some errors...

problems after installing custom rom on htc dsire
Hi there Description: I’m even scared to write… Description:
Newbie Noobie here. Greetings!
Got myself a birthday present a few days ago – HTC Desire.
If it helps, here are the details:
======
Firmware version: 2.2
i rooted my phone and then followed the steps to install custom rom
Anyway, here’s my problem (there were posts about it before as well).
Once I reach point 5 in Step 2 [i.e. Turn off your phone & turn it back on holding POWER + VOL DOWN then use vol up/down to scroll down to ‘Recovery‘ and power to select.] after I click ‘Recovery’ my screen either stays white with the green HTC logo or just goes black – in either case, that’s it… nothing happens and no buttons work.
The first time it happened I almost got a heart attack (well, which noobie didn’t?) because I thought I’d just bricked my baby… Right now it is still the only way for me to do ANYthing after getting the black screen…
Any suggestions/help will be more than welcome! Thanks in advance!!!
(And sorry for the long post… I always need long intros and all the details listed to make myself as clear as possible)
Please do help me
i am nearly crying while typing it
email me the response
cheers
Raj

I have never used HTC Desire, i am XPeria X1 user... but my guess is that you do not need to go to recovery mode, i meen on my XPeria i just enter bootloader mode (Volume down + power) and ROM load itself... This tutorial is about XPeria, so... maybe you should post your problem to HTC Desire thread... Good luck... let us know what was the problem
