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:

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.

Hi guys!
Tried to flash the phone with WM6 rom via RUU - didnt work, so i took a ShellTool and tried with this one - and now its the best part:
its teeling it can take more than 15mins but i took more than 1 hour - nothing happened, so i disconnected the phone a hard reset it.
OMG its telling OS 4.0.0.0 and wont boot so i took MrClean 2.24 rom pout the phone in bootloader mode with camera+reset and succesfully flashed it to MrClean.(now i think Im a god)
but after succesfull booting it satrted customizing and reset itself... from now on its copletely dead, no response

Is the phone CID unlocked?
Did you use an RUU from same provider?
If none of these answers is affirmative then you better forget that phone. Only recovering via JTAG (requires tools, knowledge (which you can't find here) and skills) or by getting a new board.
Last chance may be a flat battery; try a new one or charge that in another phone.
cheers
Suprising that a RUU didn't brick your phone (or probably it did).
Try charging the battery?
thx for replies guys
no my phone is not cid unlocked and as far as i know none get cid unlocked g4
i used ruu 2.5.2 from xda ftp, so as you said probably my phone is bricked...
thank god (or someone else) there are friends of mine owning same phone so i can try with other batteries
the strange thing is that not ruu bricked it, i think the post flash customization is faullty...
will keep you up to date
just to inform you:
after few days (weeks) of laying inactively on my desk i managed to try once again to resurrect my brick...
assuming the battery is empty i connected my WIZ to a charger and surprise! it lighted the red led for about a second... now i'll wait a few hours and see whats gonna happen
btw: anyone of you guys had something like that in the past?
Wanted to know how could i get a hermes rom onto a wizard. Is it possible? anybody help please
roms are unlike normal windows a set of hardcoded drivers where if 1 fail because the hardware is abesent or different it will never boot and could brick the device
sorry i took so long to get back thankz dont no much about this rom thing i just jumped into it and started flashing. any advice on how to cook.
Greetings,
I have had my diamond for a year and half now and it works perfectly although it was slow at some times. yesterday I tried to use a ROM made by the community. So first I tried to change to an unsigned HardSPL. I tried 3 different versions however each time I received an error. afterwards I tried to use a HardSPL made for CDMA phones (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839) .
I ran the ram update utility I received the invalid model ID error.
Now my device does not start when I press the power button, and I cannot hard reset it .
Please help me to fix this problem
Vinma, YOUR PHONE IS DEAD !!!!!!!!
"first, if you have GSM diamond, this will brick your device. "
you should have read the instructions more careful !!!!!
I remember reading somewhere that there are a few methods to revive dead phones and that 90% of them can be brought back to life.
Please help me if you are aware of any of these methods.
I also have to add that I have contacted HTC regarding this issue and so far they have not been helpful. I would really appreciate it if anyone who has had a similar problem could help me.
Okay, press n hold Volume Down button and try to start the phone..
If you can't start the phone your phone is dead..
But you can save it with JTAG http://forum.revskills.de/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=117&p=639#p639
Or buy a new phone !!!!!!
ur mobile got knocked the f**k out
Ok so I think my phone is bricked it was free so im not too fuzzed but would love to fix it.
HTC Wizard (QteK 9100)
I flashed it with windows 6.5 and decided I didn't realy like it and wanted to flash it with an older rom. After the reset it goes to the load screen where it tells you the OS version etc and doesn't go any further than that. All the guides I read tell me to load it up in bootloader mode and flash it but the problem is how? the phone is not seen by the computer any more.
pressing camera and power at the same time will get you into bootloader mode
then download the original ship rom http://rapidshare.com/files/188635235/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_cingular.rar
run the ruu
and then it should be unbricked and you should be able to flash a newer rom
Hey Everyone,
There are a lot of posts out there with hung ROMs and desperate owners. My first reaction to this post was "how's the guy supposed to update his Cingular ROM if his PC can't see his computer and he can't Synch? " - but sure enough, I downloaded the file, ran it on my Cingular 8125 (which was hung at the boot screen, and unrecognised/unsynched) from the bootloader screen and it installed and revived the phone. Great post, very helpful - THANK YOU.
