HELP!! I think my Wizard is a Paper weight! Bricked! - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

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.

HELP! Can't Load Rom - Don't Want A Brick!

Guys,
I just tried to upgrade to a new ROM on my Cingular 8125. I have upgraded from the original rom to a Mr. Clean AKU 2.3 Rom a while back. This time I tried to load Ell's AKU 3.2 Rom.
Anyway, my computer locked and restarted during the flashing process (99%)
My phone turns on and shows the colored bar screen (is this called the bootloader?). This is all it does. I'm not sure how to try and fix this. I'd like to try and reflash a rom; however, if I try to do that I get Error 260. This error says it can't find the phone which is easy to understand since Activesync can't connect since the phone won't boot.
HELP!

i had this very proglem... TURN OFF THE PHONE ASAP.. as the bootloader screen will drain your battery very quickly.... reset computer and phone... plus in the USB cord.. and in the booth loader screen in the lower left corner.. you should see USB!!! just flash workin room.. and you should be set to go.. i believe>.
When I plug the phone in it does show USB in the lower left corner; however, The rom update utility can't see the phone.
Am I doing something wrong or should I be trying to install the rom in another manner?

hmmm i dont know... try restarting both devices.. other then that i cant hlep ya.. im still new to this...
USB means it is connected.
Again, keep the battery out when you aren't doing the flash. Reboot the PC in case the link is down.
Try flashing a stable ROM, like the Mr. Clean one you used before. Activesync doesn't need to operate, the ROM will see the wizard if the wizard says USB.
Zonealarm actually interferes with my ROM flashes, although it prompts me to see if it is ok; you might turn off your firewall prior to doing the ROM flash. If you do so, disconnect from the web.
I have also the same problem with my XDA 2 mini or the other called this the HTC Magician. I try to UPgrade my Radio 1.03 to 1.12. and when im applying the upgrade procedure the Upgrading stops and error. What happen now is my XDA 2 mini or HTC magician doesnt open now. only the word "SERIAL" and when i plug the USB, the word "USB" show on the screen................... Is there some one can help me pleasssse with my problem....

Always post the data of your your phone,to get help.
secondly you had a bad flash,perhaps your phone is CID locked. Which rom were you trying to flash ?
Now to recover,download the official carrier's rom and flash it while in bootloaders.The phone will start working again in default status,then,Read and understand the unlocking method and the flashing guide,read the stickies carefully and perform the method correctly.
cheers !

If you can go to boot loader, most likely you will be ok. When you plug in the usb port, does the words in the screen change from serial to USB? Once it changes, then flash your official, and then CID unlock your device (this is different from SIM unlock). Then flash to the ROM you want!!
PS: Go read wiki about how to unlock and flash and understand more about your device. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard

How did you resolve the issue I'm having very simular problems and believe it's my Vista OS causing the problem..
Orange SPV M600 G4
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 4.0.0.0
Sorry should explain my issue incase anyone can help.
I attempted an upgrade to WM6 using an Upgrade .Bat from this site. I was slightly impatiant due to not being able to complete the downgrade first anyway the upgrade frose, after a while I canceled the update and carried out a hard re-set... Since then I'm not able to boot nor connect to my desktop via Active sync (WMDC (Vista))
I've followed every instruction I can find but only to be meet with RUU Errors saying can't connect or file open. I can however acces my Bootloader screen and when connection is made the USB symbol shows on the screen of my phone...
Any help would be greatly recieved......

HHHHHHHHHHeeeeelllllp With Wizard T-mobile Vario1

I have tried to uppgrade this unit to WM6. The upgrade process was working until it stalled at 23% for 2 hours.
restarted the phone and the pc Phone is stuck bootloader mode showing IPL 3.08 and SPL 3.08 showing a USB connection at the bottom on a red greenblue and grey screen.
If i try to reconnect activesync to try flashing back to WM5 it doesn't detect the Device..
Can a Kindhearted Soul Please HHHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
Im new to winCE i am a systems engineer to am quite technical but for this can you give me Step by step info on how to recover and get WM6 on to this unit.
Thanks in advance
Activesync won't see your phone while you're in bootloader mode, which is what your phone is in when you see the screen that you say you're seeing. The way to tell if you'll be able to flash back to WM5 is to reboot it in to that screen first and then connect it to the sync cable. If it shows a little USB at the bottom, which it should since I doubt you screwed it up that bad yet, then you can go ahead and flash the WM5 ROM.
There are already step by step instructions on how to upgrade your phone to WM6 in the stickies at the top of the wizard mobile 6 section here in the wizard section. Since you didn't know that I'm guessing that you probably didn't unlock your phone first which is the reason your phone is the way it is right now so you might want to start with that sticky.
Reflash it first using a manufacturer rom like this one:

Then once you get it working again try your luck with the custom roms.

bricked my G4 Wizard, not able to flash via bootloader

Hi there,
never thought this could happen to me [/irony]
I wanted to flash my G4 Wizard (IPL/SPL 3.08) to the last official ROM of T-Mobile Germany (AKU 3.3)
The flash process got stucked at 99% for hours and now my phone only boots to the three-colored bootloader.
No problem I thought, flash again. I plugged the cable and I saw "USB" on the display (there never is "serial" on the display, if this is for interest)
But now: no flashtool would find the phone.
Sometimes when it's found (seldom), it says that's not the right utility. I tried a RUU..._noID.exe I found here but this only got "no Connection"
I tried flashing from Vista, XP and 2000 SP4.
Please help me.
Did you do the HardSPL? If you did, when you tried to put the official ROM from T-Mobile, it tried to put the IPL/SPL from G3 on your phone, since the HardSPL makes your phone a fake G3 (something like that). You have to remove the IPL/SPL info from the official ROM's otherwise you get stuck.
There's hope tho, since you can get to bootloader. You can try the miniSD flashing method, meaning, there's no connection to the computer
See here how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963&highlight=minisd+flash
Thank you very very much!
it worked!
Glad I could help

stuck!!

Hi,, I have used shelltool to install TNT 6.1 from wizlove all went smooth
Then i decided to try a different radio so flashed 02.71.11 from o2.37.11
all went smooth no problem,, It wasnt a day and I had to get rid of 02.71.11
so tried flashing to others and ruu loses conection on status bar and screen goes into the tri col mode,, since then I have tried to do hard spl and it gets as far as the white screen and then ruu says lost connection, so I used shelltool to flash back to wizlove but after reboot stuck on splash screen
I can get into the tri colour bootloader screen the usb shows but cant get any connection to ruu
Im G4, ipl 2.16.0001
spl 2.16.0001
gsm 02.71.11
os 2.26.10.2
help me please head is sore from reading too much
Thanks
What IPL/SPL it displays now and which windows are you doing on? If its vista it won't work.WinXP is highly recommended for HardSPL.Don't use Shelltool go for HardSPL or SoftSPL.

ipl spl as posted,,,,,I have already used shelltool to load TNT and then I tried to run hard spl but ruu says lost conection on white screen so I used shelltool to go back to wizlove but on reboot it is stuck on splash screen, and Im on xp
Ah ! yes,its G4,ok,HardSPL won't work in Bootloaders (tricolor) it'll only work if working OS is running.
Which windows are you on vista or winxp ?
Im on xp,, but as I have posted Im now stuck on splash screen
It is almost bricked
So try to reflash an original ROM dont install wizlove (it wont be a diference but...) in RGB try to run the RUU from original EXE package id dont works is almost bricked.
Try to get a backup from another device fully functional following the steps indicated by Drug store on splash screen stucks solution DIY thread if dont works or you dont have a backup Minisd so try the MTTY...
I am CID locked G4
Download Official k-jam stock rom from the below link and flash it in Bootloaders,recover back to default status and than proceed further:-
http://www.imate.com/Support_DeviceSupport.aspx
G4 devices cannot be CID unlocked like a G3 phones,in this situation only official stock rom will get flashed,it contains IPL/SPL for both the devices,it shud flash and work.Than after recovering back ,Apply 'HardSPL' to semi-CID unlock the phone and upgrade to any wm6 rom,don't use Shelltool,it sometimes creates problem.
I don't think Backup rom through minisd with MTTY will work in this situation, but than, thats me !
OK I got the official rom, but same problem RUU says it hasnt got a connection the phone is in tricol boot load at this time, I think the issue is how to get a comunication between the RUU and the wizard in in Tricol mode surely someone has an answer on this?
OK.... it seems to be your PC...
When you plug your device via usb in the pc port the dev shows USB bottom left on screen... ? Does the PC shows you "Unknown device, please intall the drivers... or has a bad function"?
The USB cable... maybe your battery is low.... maybe the USB PORT... i dont imagine anymore problems... Try to get a full batt.. other USB cable and other PC XP of course... and retry.
OK a glimmer of hope,, I switched to another usb port windows loaded driver etc, then i ran the official rom ruu and,,,,,,,,,,,,,invalid ID cant run this utility,
does this mean I need the original software and how would I know what version that was,,,,,,,,cause I wasnt making notes
DAMN!!!!

FIIIUUUUU!!! it seem that you have comm conection betwen the RUU and the device... but Wrong ID?
Download the file zabardast told you... it is from your carrier.
If this is the one u have tried...
so try another one... from Tmobile prodigy 2.26... or from qtek 9100 2.19 official Stock ROMS.

hmmm,ok,download this RUU attached and extract it, replace this RUU with the RUU in the official rom and run this RUU from the Rom,hope it'll flash.
Or,download the K-jam official stock rom from here :-
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/K-JAM_WWE_21...20710_ship.zip
I tried all that and still not getting anywhere, constantly the same problem re connection I do get the found new hardware when trying different usb ports but the ruu complains " no connection" I cant seem to get what it did before in terms of getting further to the point where it told me invalid ID I will have to try another pc with xp but dont have one handy
Might not be bricked..
check out this thread, it might be of help
