I've just bought a HTC Charmer (T-mobile MDA Compact2). As I was looking for a french rom, I've read that the charmer was nearly the same (or exactly ?) pda as the Wizard. So As I've found a french rom for wizard, I tried to flash the charmer with it, thinking that if it was not good, it would reject the rom... Or, the flashing process has gone well till the 100% but now, the phone does not even want to light on.... :shock:
Do you think there's something possible to do ?? :?:
Thanks a lot for your help, I really need it !!!!
Just up, I really need help, I'm completely desperate... :|
You can put your device in bootloader mode?

What symptoms do you have exactly? No led, no backlight, no text on the screen, no charging? What happens if you try to enter the bootloader?
Thanks for your interest.
In fact, after the flashing process, the phone switch off, and now, I cannot switch it on, if I put the usb cable, the pc does not detect anything, but the led ...
I let the beginnning but finally it starts !!!!
Yesterday, I disconnected the battery so as the secure one discharge also, and a few minutes ago, I put it on the 220V without hope and the led lighted ! and no it starts, but in German .. (I do not really understand this..)
So do you think that I should retry the french wizard rom ? Or this try cannot work ?
If this is the case, does someone know where I could find the English Charmer Rom (I do not find the T-mobile download page anymore) or better a french one
Thanks a lot in all case !!!
You flashed a charmer with a wizard ROM and it's working???
Well, i think that for you it's better to flash your device with a charmer ROM. On the ftp there is only a english ROM, not french.
No in fact it works again, but it's still in german ...
Could you please give me the link of the french rom ? I cannot find it...
Just a few more info...
So the phone works, in german, but there's someting really strange.. if I try to put it in bootlaoder mode, it's impossible, it switch off but do not swith on after, and not at all in fact, I have to get off the battery or put it on the charger so that it starts again...
And with the charger, after the boot, I can restart in bootloader mode, but at the second I unplug the charger, the phone switch off and it's not possible to restart witout the charger.....
Do you have an idea of what's happening ?? And how I could flash with an english rom ?? (doesn't work with the cradle USB cable..)
Thanks a lot !!
I think that the best thing to do is to flash the ROM with the WWE or German, as you like, you will find the ROMs on the Charmer section of the FTP.
Put your device in bootloader mode with the usb connected, then upgrade the ROM.
Indeed that would be the best solution but with the usb cable, it doesn't stay in bootloader mode, it switch off immediately ...
Do you know a reason of this behaviour ?
No one's got an idea .. ?
I'm still worry, so I do up
Just a last try
Is it possible that the bootlader has been changed and now dosen't work anymore ?
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.
regards
faria
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...

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!

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?
i got a XDA 2 I otherwise known as ,PH10A its not turning on so i cant install rom on phone.taken cmos battery out stil no joy,,please can anyone help me out i put it in the crradle and it does charge up.and on the screen it says USB V 1.02 and thats all and wont do nothing else ..pc wont reconise the phone..i badly need help anyone got any ideas ..
The bootloader message USB V 1.02 does mean that it is in healthy bootloader mode and that it does find a healthy USB connection as well. Activesync will not be able to communicate with it the way it would do if Windows Mobile would have been loaded on your XDA. But the normal ROM flash utilities should be able to access it. Be sure to use ActiveSync version 4.5 to flash WM6, be sure to use a PC running Windows XP, not Vista, be sure to read flashing instructions very carefully, print them and keep them handy during the flashing process. Flashing can take over 30 minutes, be patient!
success

when i upgrade my device at 98% its hang up
and i make reset
then the device didnt work when i press power button
what can i do with my device
Iam from palestine and the near service center for imate is in ksa
icant send it
can i resolve the broblem with my self
Your fatal mistake is reseting your phone...it wasnt done flashing yet. The RUU(flashing prigram) often hangs up near the end for 1-2 minutes, and then it completes. I would say that you need to get your phone repaired now, seeing as if it wont even power on, that its more than likely damaged the bootloader:/

Always post the version of the phone and which rom you were trying to upgrade with ?
Check your battery,is it fully charged or working.Its always recommended to get the battery fully charged before flashing.
It might be due to discharged or dead battery that it doesn't power on,first confirm the status of the battery.
If the battery gets charged or working,get the phone into Bootloaders (multicolor Screen),if it gets there,its safe.
i try a new battry but there is no power my device is wazard g4 and i upgrade with black diamond 2 after i unlock my device (i dont remember the no but at the end there write olip)
i think that i need a new device becuase there is no light on charge when i plug in the adapter and not start when i press the power button
thanx alot
If your not intimidated by working on your phone, you could try buying one off eBay with a broken LCD and using the motherboard out of it in your phone. Worked for me and now I have a G3 instead of a G4!
what does it meat when i unplog the battry there is flash light from the screen
can any body explane this
it means there is power going to the device,but as it cant boot up it simply flashes the backlight on the screen

my device wizard g4
Ok, Perhaps you applied HardSPL and the it must be displaying IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.olip, Right ?
And when you tried to upgrade Black Diamond,it got stuck up on Bootloaders or it was working on Black Diamonds ? you say, your computer hang up and phone got stuck on Bootloaders,did it hang up while flashing ?
Did you actualy flashed 'wizard_love rom,or you were planning to flash but it got stuck.
Why I ask all this is coz,if you flashed wizard_love,your phone is HardSPL,,it'll get bricked with wizard_love rom as it has IPL/SPL in it. But if you didn't flash wizard rom and it goy stuck before that,than,its a dead battery.

HELP PLEASE!!
Ok so i think i bricked my wizard!
I have the t-mobile MDA wm5 unlocked g3.
I've flashed it to the WM6 Rom and everything had been working well, except there was no MMS feature on the phone at all which sucked! . My girlfriend thought it would be better if she did the "windows mobile update" icon feature that was on the phone to speed up the phone....She downloaded the updates & my phone shut off!! When it rebooted everything seemed normal...
1st.
T-mobile screen
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811
-Then i get the green windows mobile splash screen, but after i get an error message!!
*Device Authentication*
“Device authentication failure. Please contact the product manufacturer. For reference, please provide your device ID.
3563820017905901 38000050bf3f5173”
Ive tried to boot in safe mode to try & flash my phone again but for sum reason my computer wont recognize my phone is plugged in! What do i need to do?!? Please help, any help is thankful!
is not a bricked wizard men
easy men easy... but please tell to your girl dont push everything that she dont nderstands... Everybody knows that upgrade official is only for original OS like windows XP or VISTA..
Firs of all
Put your Wizard on bootloaders mode... plug in via usb the PC Active sync wont recognize your phone.. then run the original shipped Stock ROM and then your Coocked rom...
But if the PC at the same time you place your Device on Bootloaders and plug it via USB... shows a pop up message that said Windows cant recognize your device or unknown device or something... Restart your Pc... Hard reset your PDA... and replug your Device as I said it before... if not check your USB cable maybe a broken cable failure...
IF NOT?????!!!!!!!! then Use another PC with XP!!!!!
If it still on his not reconized message you are in serious problem but your girfriend Too...
Good luck
Easy..."Device Authentication failure" is caused by your ROM. Just flashing another custom ROM and the message should go away.
I'm surprised that the chef that made your WM6 rom left the Windows Update feature in there, it was bound to crash a cooked rom, since the update service never worked properly anyway.
I'm sure flashing another rom will resolve this.
yeah, flash the rom (you might want to try WizFlo 20273 v6.1.1.3 - i'm on it, and loving it). heck, you can even do a hard reset and that would probably resolve it.
