I've been trying to get my old extended rom and new Qtek OS on my Wizard (Vario).
But now it gets stuck in the spash screen (ie the one giving the ROM numbers).
I've tried putting the wizard into bootloader mode and I can flash RUU's but when it resets it still gets stuck on the spash screen and won't go any further !!!????
What can I do ??
Please Help
Cheers
John
I should say that I had flashed using button's ROM RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe.html
and this worked fine!
I then copied across my T-mobile Extended ROM and again everything seemed OK.
BUT then I tried to restore my new saved OS ROM using aWizard and this caused a freeze on my Wizard. It was after a hard reset that the wizard stopped at the splash screen.
Now of course I'm limited in my options because Activesync won't work until the Wizard has fully booted up.
I have tried setting the Wizard into bootloader mode and tried several ROM's (RUU Installer ones) but every time the correct splash screen comes up with the new ROM numbers but that is as far as it gets.
I also noticed on hard reset that you get the following message
Format FAT partition
Format failed
it then goes to the splash screen as before.
Are there any other things I can try Or will I have to send it back to T-mobile for a replacement??
(It's only 2 months old and I have re-flashed it with the orginal T-mobile ROM - but still won't go past the splash screen!!)
I live in hope

I have this EXACT same problem!
I can reflash any ROM but it will not go past the splash screen. Only difference was I wasn't playing with my extended ROM. I flashed the AKU2 QTEK ROM yesterday and have been fine through several soft resets, etc. This last time I was uninstalling phonealarm and after a soft reset I got a "could not find smswakeup.exe" (or something similar) and it's been stuck ever since! I also get the "Format Failed" message. Can anyone help!?
I think I'm going to have to send it back to T-mobile and hope they give me a replacement. Something is wrong, it doesn't seem to make any difference what ROM I used.
I think I'll reload the T-mobile shipped ROM grom the FTP site and send it back - and claim ignorance that it it suddenlt freezed and now won't boot up! - Bummer!!!
Right I've logged a fault and it will be sent back - let's hope T-mobile can't detect it's been unlocked and had several ROM updates - I suspect they will try a ROM update themselves then give up ???
The worrying thing though is that it IS possible to kill your phone with updates - maybe it was when I used aWizard to try and restore a ROM that did it??? I'll be more carefull next time!!
this has just happened to one of the devices im flashing at the moment.... absolulty f**king raging :evil: :evil:
i wish teher was a solution!!? anyone got any ideas?
activesync wont find it, so aWizard wont work.
i can flash between 3 roms without any problems (1.5.x 1.6.x 2.x) but always hangs on the splash screen. i have flashed back to the default rom that it came installed with it so i could just send it back to o2 (only 2 days old!)
i would rather just get it sorted by myself thoough so if anyone has ANY ideas then please let me know.
thank you!
Good luck! after about 3 days of trying different types of firmware, I gave up and sent it to expansys, for repair. And it looks like they've lost the bloody thing now. :evil:

looks like one of our sales guys wont be getting a new phone on tuesday :lol:
same problem here.
tryed to write os with awizzard after changing extended_rom.
kills phone.
format failed..
Tryed different os's from win util - failed
upgraded with sd card methode worked.
in short :
you need a working wizzard to make a os dump on sd card.
Connect to wizzard with usbterm or romupdate.exe or simular.
do a rs2all command to dump os to sd card.
stick this card in broken phone.
hold voice comm button while resetting.
On ask press voice comm button again.
it bow restores the sd backup to phone.
saved mine.....
btw sd card backup can be read ad write by pc with util ntrw.exe .
so if you don't have a working dump i can upload one.
just mail me.

hard reset your device and hold your Camera Button prior to starting the wizard back on.
when the device turns back on, you will get the boot screen. Plug in your USB cable and load one of the known ROMS like the second to last iMate ROM.
This will allow you to get past the splash screen.

Don't worry, I met the same problem as you before, almost lost my hope, but finally I managed to fix it.
The solution is simple, that is to find an original SD card backup image from your wizard or others, then try to restore it in the bootloader mode. In my case, it said checksum error or sth else after begin restoring, and it gave up. Then I put my wizard into bootloader mode, picked one offical released RUU package, start reflash again. Finnally, I found the wirzrd works again for me after reboot.
I guess the principle is that the SD restore will destroy some import flash data structure before it said wrong, then the RUU package will rebuilt it wholely in the next reflash.
Hope this helpful, and sorry for my bad english.
There is hope
Last week after trying to downgrade to the original Cingular ROM on my 8125 using aWizard I ended up with a device that was close to being a paperweight. At least I thought so until I read and read and finally was able to get it to the bootloader and then plugged in the USB cable and ran the RUU for the new Qtek ROM (2.17). Guess what happened, yeah it worked. To my surprise I had a perfect device after 15 minutes.
For about 3 hours I thought I was a toast. Never will I do that again.
THIS is truly heaven for me !!

Hi all.
I have been trying to update the Treo 750 (generic unbranded) to Windows Mobile 6. During the installation process (about 2/3rds of the way through), the screen reverted to "Device Connection Failure". The device was not touched or interrupted in any way. The screen just flicked straight to Device Connection Failed in the wizard.
I clicked try again but to no avail. The PC no longer recognises the Treo (Unknown item in USB and says the device is not recogized or has malfunctioned).
I now have a device that does not work at all. It boots through the Palm screen to the Windows Mobile splash page (which looks like the new WM 6 colours) but then just sticks there. I have done soft and hard resets, left the battery out for 20 mins but nothing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
David

Not sue if this will help or not:
My situation was slightly different but with very similar results - 750 did not go past the WM6 splash screen, about 2/3rd through the upgrade. I ran the 750 Recovery Tool and the upgrade completed successfully.
The instructions can be found here: http://www.palm.com/au/support/treo750/downloads/wm6update_recoverytool.html
(this was with the 3 ROM).

or you can just try the sd card method
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_Upgrade
At the moment, the PC won't even recognize the Treo 750 anymore. Rebooted etc but just get "Device Malfunctioned" when I connect the USB. I can't do anything without the device connecting. Any ideas on this?
Went back and did the SD Card method as suggeted. Worked first time so this is obviously the path of least resistance! Thanks to those who responded.
DG
my palm has no reaction
Hi,
I have the followed the SD method. After the hard reset,
my palm just hung on the startup screen.
Any idea? I'm stuck!!!

Make sure you have formatted to FAT32 on your sd card. I had the same problem and tried a different 1 gb sd and it worked. Make sure the CHEEIMG. that you copy to your card has the same kb's as the original.
Currently I am running the Sleuth1.2 ROM in a sick Kaiser.The Kaiser works fine but has the two issues described below (with the work around I use).
I have two issues which are causing me concern if I try to flash
1. If the SIM door is closed when I soft rest the 'Smart Mobility' screen appears for about 3 seconds and then the device shuts down.If I open the SIM door press the power on or reset button then close the SIM door while the 'Smart Mobility' screen is still showing it boots perfectly to the today screen.
2. If while soft reseting and following the workaround above the SDcard in in the device the kaiser boots to the spash screen then powers off.If I remove the SDcard first it boots OK and then I can insert the SDcard and all is well,I have tried 3 different SDcards and they all react the same.
I can backup and restore using SPB backup and the SDCard by using these work arounds so I think I may be able to flash-but I need to assured by someone who knows more than I.
As I say it is sick,but not yet beyond use.
What I am thinking of doing is flashing a new SPL,Radio and ROM (probably
the TPC V11) but I am concerned one or other of theses faults will cause the flash to fail and give me a brick.
Can anyone advise me if I should be able to flash OK using my Windows7 PC and USB (or preferably even the SDcard)
M
many thanks in advance for the advice you offer.
Ashley
Moved as not ROM Development.
If you have any doubt in your device being able to stay alive during the hard-spl flash then don't do it.
Same with flashing a ROM as normally you can recover but then if you don't since you seem to already have problems it's a brick.
Might just be time to check out ebay for a cheap Kaiser
Thanks for the reply,it is much appreciated
What I was wanting to know is whether in the flashing process having to perform the work around with the SIM door will cause a problem.If it will I'll have to stick with Sleuth1.2,but it is not my prefered ROM-I've only flashed once and think it is time for a change.
I know the kaiser is well past its best but I cannot replace it yet.
Ashley
Had to re-read:
Only on a reboot you get this problem.
Ok i'd say it's fine as after you flash and it reboots if the battery is popped it will just start off from beginning again "not that i make a habit of it"
So flash hard-spl it reboots, will get stuck on splash do your tweak get back into OS, flash ROM resets gets stuck do your tweak and all should run fine.
All this is a "should" as i don't have the device in hand to know exactly how this will go.
Thanks,
Now pass me a shot of alcohol to help my courage! and I'll roll the dice.
Best Wishes

I have installed android on my Kaiser (Incubus26Jc_'s Super FroYo RLS15 All Language) and I want to go back to my custom WM ROM, but I've never managed to flash a ROM from the SD card, although I've respected all steps (SD card FAT32 formated, WM ROM renamed as KAISimg.nbh and put on SD root, together with KAISDIAG.nbh, pressed power & camera button and pushed the reset button)... I can get to the 3-color bootloader but for 1 second appears a message (I think is something like "no image file" but I cannot read it because it dissapeared too quickly) and then the word "serial" at the bottom of the 3-color screen, and it remains like this until I make a new reset...
As I cannot use ActiveSync anymore (due to Android OS) and I cannot flash through USB, I have no option now to get back to WM!!!
Could somebody give me an advice how to do it?
Thanks in advance!
...nevermind... I've solve it... just look at this (for others with same problem):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423486
I have to say, this is a great forum, I can find almost always a solution for my problems!
I got the same problem, I flashed a tpc rom (well my brother actually) a while back. And I was never able to load up the bootloader with all the key combinations I can think of
(hard reset, power+camera, batery out and turn on+camera)
I also took a look at the link above me. I couldn't find an answer .
Someone please help me out.
mmh, Is there no1 with a solition to fix this>
I really hate the fact the tpc rom prevented me going into mah bootloader.
