i sim and cid unlocked my mda and i downgraded using lokiwiz b2 all went smooth after i downgraded the os then i installed faria's v2 the 8mb pagepool and i did a update for the radio rom after the phone rebooted. the radio version from the start up is gone... and now the mda is not reconized via active sync. the phone eventually boots up where you can access everything but right now its very slow it literally takes 1 min for the start menu to open. so far tried soft reset, hard reset, tried to force bootloader, still not reconized by active sync. what else can i do?
Have you tried going to the 3 color screen (holding the camera button and pressing the power button for a few seconds) and then running the update utility?
I'm not sure if that will work...but it's another thing to try.

Did you upgrade to a 2.2x carrier ROM before installing Faria's ROM?
What are your IPL/SPL? If they are 1.05 or 1.xx then you missed the step of installing a FULL carrier rom prior to installing a custom rom after unlocking.
If this is your situation your battery will die very quickly and will not charge via the usb charger.

The exact same thing happened to me. The only way I got it to work again was by reinstalling the rom by making a backup first to the memory card using rom update from the bootloader screen. It should put everything right. then from there reinstalling the original rom (in my case from the cingular site) and after that upgrading the radio rom. After you make the backup and reinstall the rom activesync will pick up your phone again. Then after that I put the aku rom. Dont put the button rom again, it'll downgrade your radio rom and you 'll be right back where you started. It'll show the spl nd isp being above 2x but dont worry. Mine works with no problems. I tried upgrading the radio rom from the button rom but it wont take and finishes either with the gsm missing or the radio or both. I find out easier to install everything from the bootloader screen. Hope that helps.
Hi,
I just tried to flash a wm6 rom on my mda vario but at 99% my USB connection stopped so now I only see a red-green-blue screen when I put my mda on...
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I'm really desperate right now:S

Ok, so you are on the bootloader... Whats the IPL / SPL showing (exactly what both numbers are). When you plug in the USB cord, do you see USB above the left softkey (if you do, then you can flash). Is your phone a G3 or G4?
What is the exact error you get when you try to flash to your phone?
Have you tried flashing on a different PC? Have you rebooted your PC? Pull out the SD card on your phone before turning it on and flashing it.
In the WIki there is a link to how to flash from your SD card, if all else fails you may have to try that (but that would be a last resort IMO. Also remember that in the current state, your phone will not charge, so you may have to look at getting your battery charged.

The ipl is 1.01 and the SPL is 2.21
I don't get an error when I try to flash the phone, it just won't connect with the pc

1) Your IPL is 1.01. DO NOT flash WM6 on this phone. You have to be running IPL / SPL of 2.xx for WM6 to work or you will have all sorts of problems / weird issues.
2) What do you mean "it just won't connect with the pc"? When you are at the bootloader Activesync will not connect, but if you see USB above the left softkey on your phone then they ARE connected. You just run the RUU and it will flash (trust me).
3) Based on your IPL / SPL you have 3 choices...
a) Try flashing the Button ROM and get that working. Then do the CID Unlock procedure and follow every single step and verify everything is exaclty as that thread says it should be:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
b) Flash an official ROM. Once you are done, you may or may not have to do the CID Unlock (hard to say with your current IPL / SPL situation). Personally I'd do the CID unlock again to be safe.
c) Flash the Wizard Love ROM (if a and b don't work). Once you do that, then do a to do the CID Unlock.
If this still doesn't help, then you need to be very precise (no more short answers) with exactly what you are doing and what happens when you do it. Its hard to debug this situation when you don't tell us everything. Also you dd not answer any of my previous questions to you. Please do that.
I am having the same problem with a Cingular 8125. I used buttons 1.05 rom to downgrade from the original 2.25 so that I could use the Lokiwiz 0.2b. When that was complete I had IPL 1.01 and SPL 2.25 (similar to dantheman). After that I ran faria's WM6 RUU. All seemed to install well, but after reboot I got error "\Windows\Autoconfig.exe not found". Searching a forum on HTCWizardWeb someone had the same problem and the advise was that he should have used ShellTool to install the WM6 rom, so I did that. All seemed to install well, but after hard reset (as instructed) the device stays on the IPL/SPL screen with the beer mug. No USB message shows above the left softkey when USB is connected. The only time the PC seems to recognize a USB device connected is when I have uninstalled ActiveSync, rebooted, re-installed activesync and plug the wizard in not powered up. Then the taskbar shows USB device found, then your device is ready. I try the 1.05 rom after is says device is ready and it does not detect the wizard (Error 260:UpdateError, The update util cannot connect...) Noted that when I plug the wizard in powered on to the IPL/SPL screen the USB device connected message does not appear. I can only get to that screen and connectivity seems limited.
At this point when i do a hard reset I get "format failed" error and back to IPL/SPL screen.

Your phone isn't unlocked. How are you hard resetting? And you are sure you have a G3?
--M
You didn't follow all the directions for downgrading. Go back and reread Dr P's sticky, but after you do lokiwiz, you have to flash the button rom again so that both IPL/SPL are 1.xx. Then you HAVE to upgrade to an official 2.xx rom to get IPL/SPL to both be 2.xx.
Only after that is complete can you flash WM6 or other custom roms.
Thanks for your help...
You guys are right, I didn't follow all the directions correctly (or at least wasn't reading the correct set of directions, not sure). But for those that made the same mistake that I did here is how I got it going again.
It actually cost me $50, but it was worth it. I found a post about a fix using an SD card, but the phone had to be CID-unlocked (which apparently was the reason the ROM update I tried failed). And another post told me the only way to unlock my phone from the bootloader screen was to use the www.imei-check.co.uk website to unlock it. It cost $40. After i did the CID unlock via that website go to the forum post -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963&highlight=splash+screen+freezing
I had to buy a 512mb miniSD at wal-mart last minute and paid $20. Anyway that's what fixed it for me, even though it cost me some money.
after downgrading to buttons 1.05 rom and used lokiwiz to cid and simlock unlock my vario g3 i flashed it to t-mobile 2.26 after that i flashed it to crossbow reloaded v 1.7 but got alot of glitches with the keypad and the alarmclock did not work at all so i wanted to try another versin but i cant get activesync to work,no connection no nothing....also starting up in bootloader with soft reset and camera gives me a nice colourfull screenie but no usb text at the bottom so can i get another version on my mda or did i bust it up big time lol

What are your current IPL, SPL, GSM and OS versions? Your description makes it sound like there is a conflict, though you said you did flash the T-Mobile 2.26 prior to your WM6. Maybe you flashed a modded one that doesn't have IPL/SPL? Does the radio/phone part of your device work?
Don't worry about activesync. Just boot into bootloader (see the wiki if you don't know how) and flash from there as long as USB shows in the corner you are connected. Your issue may be as simple as a bad flash of the rom you are trying to flash. I would suggest re-downloading it and trying again if both your IPL and SPL are 2.26. (or picking a different WM6 rom)
Ok just saw that you aren't getting USB on your bootloader screen you can always try the SD card method. I myself have never done it but many people have revived their devices using this method. Wish I could be of more help.
Also just in case you haven't done this already: reboot the PC. If you haven't upgraded to ActiveSync 4.5 I think you need to do that before you can get a connection in WM6. Google Activesync 4.5 and you should get the MS download page. Download that and install it and that may fix your issues.
Good luck
ive tried to reboot the pc and upgraded my activesync offcourse the rom cant be flashed from sd card i get a error when i try this also the usb is not working my ipl and spl are both 2.26 gsm 025.11 os 2.18.00
crossbow is still starting propperly but there is no way i can upgrade/downgrade
I cannot get activesync4.5 to link up to wizard after loading button rom. IPL is 1xx and spl is 2xx. I am not sure what to do next with this since I cannot cid unlock without getting a connection with as. I have not found any definitive answers anywhere, and I have been reading alot, and then I read alot more. I have cleared the temp folders I have ran chkdsk I have manually started as on ppc. I really could use some help on what my next steps should be to get a link up from the ppc to the pc.
you're phone didn't flash correctly. put the phone in bootloader mode (hold the comm manager, the voice dial button, and hit the small hole on the side at the same time...should bring you to the tri-color bootloader mode) and reflash butons 1.05. you need to keep reflashing until BOTH your IPL and SPL are 1.05. having different numbers is not a good thing.

This is an 8125 and I have been able to get to the bootloader screen by pressing the camera button and power together. I have an IPL of 1.01 and an SPL of 2.25. I have flashed the phone 3 times now and there has been no changes as to the SPL as of yet. I will go for another round on it. Has anyone else encountered this problem with G3 8125 Wizard??? I have seen similar problems while reading through the forums, although no solutions.
When you press the comm manager voice dial button and press the small hole on the side that is for a hard reset right? Anyways I have reloaded the button 1.05 rom and it still has 2.25 SPL any ideas????

yes. flash the original 2.25 you had before or the wizard love 2.26 (assuming your phone is already CID unlocked)

how can it be cid unlocked if I have not succesfully gotten the phone to connect with activesync4.5 to be able to load the enablerapi file and run the lokiwiz.02b bat file??? This lack of connection to the AS is where I am stuck. From the read first sticky I should be loading the enablerapi file on and running the lokiwiz.bat file. I am not making a connection between the phone and the computer to be able to do that, at this time. I have now loaded the button rom on the phone 5 times and still no change in the SPL. What am I missing here????
One other thing that I noticed is that when I plug the USB into the Wizard it immediately trys and succesfully sets up a local area connection. It is currently set up as local area connection 5. This connection says that it is a windows mobile based device connection. What do you all make of this one??
currently these are my boot readings
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.25
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
Cingular/ATT Customer
8125 HTC Wizard
MODEL 100
UPDATE!!!!! So the answer to my own thread for anyone that will run into this problem, for myself, was to load the button rom then remove activesync program from xp, then without reboot redownload activesync with the phone connected to usb, if it still does not come up reinstall button rom without reboot. Also disable ALL firewall and antivirus programs. This should get the activesync to see your device, and then it will try to connect. Just cancel the attempted sync connection and you will be on active sync as a guest. I hope this will help out some newbies.
I am experiencing the exact same issue. Any ideas??
Uninstall ActiveSync 4.5 and install an older version.
AS4.5 seems to have problems with some WM5 devices.

I tried 4.5, 4.2, and 3.8 all without luck. Any other ideas?
Tried on another XP machine and it worked using ActiveSync 4.2.Now if I can get activesync to connect to WM6 ...
Finally someone mentions the OS on the PC. That will help alot you know. well hope all is sorted out! Good luck
Well i've tried several different versions of activesync (3.8, 4.2, and 4.5 which is needed for WM6) uninstalling rebooting, connecting the device several times, rebooting both the laptop and the phone, and nothing seems to work on my newer Core 2 Duo laptop. It simply will not connect to the phone. It worked perfect _before_ the downgrade to the Button ROM though using activesync 4.2 and 4.5 to the Cingular ROM.
All works perfect on my older P4 laptop though, both run Windows XP SP2 btw. Button ROM connected first try. I'm thinking something may be wrong with the OS on my new laptop, so I may have to blow it out and start all over since it's the one I need to sync with...
At least I got the XDA WM6 r2a Rom, IPL/SPL 3.08, and Faria 2.69.11 installed and working without a hitch on the 8125 so its fully usable now. Now to keep plugging away till I can sync it on my main laptop.
Frustrating!
where can I find active sync 4.2? I'm stuck just like he is.
I got IPL 1.01 and SPL 3.08
i'm in bootscreen right now trying to reflash it, but nogo.. I can't get a connection with activesync, so the romloader program is not getting a good connection

I was upgrading my t-mobile 8150(?) the k-jam with the new windows mobile 6 and in the middle of it my comp crashed!! now i am stuck at the bootloader mode (3 colored screen) and when i try to redo it i get to 99% and get a 302 error message. i follow the instructions given but keeps going in circles. its a G3 so is my phone bricked or is there a way to save it? i've been looking at this site all day but am now just more confused. lol thanks for your help!
No your phone isn't bricked. As long as you can get into the bootloader screen you should be ok. What you need to do is flash an official carrier rom either tmobile 2.26 or wizard love rom after you that than you can reflash to wm6. look at the stickies in the wizard forums that is where you can find these roms.
Thanks for the info but seems my techno curse continues. I tried the wizard love rom but it was in a different language and whem i tried the tmobile 2.26 i got "error 274 connection." Any more suggestions? Again thanks soo much for an issue I'm sure has been posted here a thouand times.
This happens to me all the time. I always use the Cingular 2.25 rom, it works perfectly and I have an I-mate K-JAM. Then, do the WM6 upgrade, but ensure all of your Norton and Antivirus and background running apps are shut down. Good luck.
yes also take out your mini sd card if you have one. even though its in another language it will work. "AVANTI means next. so just keep hitting that and you will be fine.
hmm been trying to d/l the Cingular 2.25 rom but the link seems to have stoped working...
It;s aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllliiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! for now lol Lets see what happens after i install wm6 I couldn't get the cingular rom but i had already dowbloaded the button rom i found here earlier and it worked like a dream!! quick and easy!! thank you all soooooo much!
hi all. one more little thing. after adding the new rom to get it back to life, now the numbers don't match so i can't upgrade to wm6. i have ipl 1.01 spl 2.26. advice?
flash to the tmo 2.26 or cingular 2.25...that will give you an IPL/SPL of 2.xx
then, you can flash to WM6
i want to delete this message. can't find a way to do it.
there's any other way to flash without usb cable?? sorry to bug in this thread but i lost my usb connection somehow and did a hard reset and still doesn't work. my phone charges. and no is not my computer cuz my wifes phone same as mine does sync i have a tmobile mda also known as the cingular 8125.

keep reflashing buttons rom until both ipl/spl are the same number. if they are different, then the flash didn't complete correctly. (it happens often, so it's kinda normal). just keep reflashing. after both ipl/spl are the same, then CID unlock and then update to an official carrier...then flash a wm6.
can anyone help me??
Check if "USB" displayed when in bootloader mode (Camera+reset) with Wizard connected to PC.
If so, you may try to flash another ROM through bootloader.
