Wizard crashed in the Colored screen, cant get it on again.

Hi,
My HTC Wizard crashed in the 3 colored screen while on USB and the ROMUpdateUtility program was searching for it (the "verifying the information on your PDA Phone... Please wait..." screen). I just took really to long and i had to take the usb cable out of the wizard.
The USB on the leftbottom of the screen didn't turn out and the phone didn't want to turn out on itself (using the power button). After waiting a while I removed the battery.
But now it won't start in anyway (with the battery in place off course). Not by the power button, the reset button, some button combinations and it also doesn't light up when i put the usb cable in it.
The battery should still be around 100-95% so that shouldn't be the problem.
So, how can i power it up again? Or is it really dead?
Hope you can help me.

The trick in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107 did the job.
Now i can go update it to WM6.

how dont get it, so u need a USB Cradle to get it to work? but the power does turn on and how can u run the updater if the usb doent connect to the computer? can u tell me how u did it plz, i really want my lovely toy back, and what cradle do u have ?how much

Which version is your phone G3 or G4 ? and which rom were you trying to flash.is your phone cid unlocked? what is your present IPL/SPL ?
Try to get the phone into bootloader mode. To get into bootloader mode,get the phone off the usb cable,hold down and keep pressing down camera button and while keep holding down the camera button push the 'Power On' button,your phone will wake up and go into bootloader mode (multicolor screen),if it goes into bootloaders,you are safe,it's not bricked,but are you sure it was fully charged,be sure it had enough charge atleast more than 50%.well if it goes into bootloaders then connect the usb cable with it and pc,check and verify a small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloader screen,if it does not appear then you got a faulty usb cable or faulty usb input port of the pc or may be mini usb port of the phone is damaged.
anyway,check all of this and pinpoint the problem and get it rectified.
If everything seems to be ok,and you have small usb at the bootloaders then simply flash the official carrier's rom.ok
Well,if in case your phone doesn't get into bootloaders at all,then either it's battery is totally flat or it's bricked or if it is a G4 and you tried to flash any Rom containing IPL/SPL in it,then I'm afraid you might have a "Bricked" phone.
Good luck

yeah i think i flashed isp containing isp, and battery was full when i flashed it, then i think i bricked my phone thats y that trick in the post suposed to boot up my phone with the usb cradle but im just wondering how does it work...
ps: i already tried the buttons long ago, didnt work. or charge with wall charger or take the battery for few hours, also tried that usb wire to charge the battery thing...i think this trick will let me boot my bricked phone again, just dont understand how it works, i mean isnt it same as pluging ur usb to the desktop?
so i put my phone on the cradle and connects the ac power and also connect the built usb(from the cradle) to the computer, and do i take the battery out? confused, dont wanna wast 15 dollars on cradle

Help Please

restarted my phone at work today and all it does now is go straight to the tri colour boot loader screen. Iv take sím out, SD card out, battry out, nothing works.
Put the USB cable in and it starts on its own straight to the tri colour screen without pushing start button
Any ideas..
Thanks Ahead

Maybe it´s as easy as that the camera-button is stuck? That happened to me with the power button. Now the power button is a bit "loose" in feel but is not active all the time.

yeap
I thought of that, iv pushed the camera button quiet a few times trying to see if its stuck but it didnt help at all, still doing it. If i connect the USB cable with no battery in it starts up on its own as well and goes straight to the boot loader screen.
Its says
WING220 MFG
SPL-0.91.hard
CPLD-7
USB

update
A quick update, if i actually put the USB headphones in the phone and try to start it it works. A restart with them in works to. Take them out and its straight to bootloader again. LOL Also Windows does not recognise the phone when its conected via USB cable when its running. This seems to be a USB problem of some kind. Iv done a hard reset as well, no luck.

Try this: enter bootloader and type "boot". If it again enters bootloader after restarting do the same thing again. Hopefully that fixes it.

hehe
No change. Only way to start the phone is with the headphones connected. When the phone is running and i conect it to the pc i get this " One of the USB devises attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it "

Try "task 8" in bootloader and then "ResetDevice"
(ps do *not* experiment with other parameters!)

nope
When i used "boot" it made a buzz and went to a white screen, had to remove battry to restart, it didnt help, tried 3 times.
" task 8 " it goes dark for a split second and back to the bootlaoder screen. remove bat. restart back to bootlaoder screen
oh after i type task 8 i get an error that pops up in mtty
wceusbsh004 port read error occured

try Hard resting it but juss to let u kno IF U DO THIS U WILL LOSE a last memory u did even phonebook and all resets like new i had to do it cuz i had a prob i could not text n stuff now it works fine after HARD RESETING

doesnt work
Iv already done the hard reset from within WM when i get the phone to work, it didnt help.

Try the hard reset after re-inserting battery immediately at power on.
(keep left- and right softkey pressed and power on I think is the key combination)

mmm
trying to do it but i must be doing the key combination wrong. Just keeps going to tri colour.
I presume you meen the soft keys on the sides of the s730. Camera key and the Comm Key.

No, the softkeys are the two buttons next to the joystick, see here ->IMAGE<-
But I would think your mini-USB connector is kind of broken I'm not sure of course

nope
Iv tried the keys on the side, iv tried the keys on the keypad. i just dont get it to work...

mm
@ Jocky...
I eventually managed to do a hard reset, the problem was it just kept going to the bootscreen so i tried it with the headphones pluged in and then it worked, lol, but on the reboot it just went straight back to the tri colour screen again.. So no help there.

Hmm, looks like a bootflag related to USB is set. The reason could indeed be a physical problem with the usb port of the device. Also it could be related to dirty contacts (both of the UB port and the battery).

I’m having the exact same problem with my S730. Only works with the headphones plugged. I can’t hear nor talk if unplugged the headphones. Does anyone knows how to fix this ???

My kaiser died after flash :(

Hi. I tried to flash my kaiser to new Dutty's wm 6.1 rom (had Dutty's v3 before so i had hardSPL) and after the rom update process completed my kaiser died , screen is always black no matter i connect it to charger or push power, is there any possibility to bring my phone back 2 life?

Have you taken the battery out?

Have you tried flashing from SD card?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158&highlight=flash+from+card
Worked for mine when i bricked it.

i have taken battery out , it wont help. also flashing from sd card works only when u can actually power on the device and i cant do it. name of my rom wasnt RUU_signed.nbh it was : Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19716_1.64.08.21.nbh maybe thats the reason of error

Well did you try the special key sequence to try to turn it on?

special key sequence? U mean both softkeys and stylus into reset hole?

Can you get it to the HSPL screen?
hold camera button and stylus into reset hole?
If you can to there you can reflash it using the sc card method.

3. Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Power and Camera buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears. (taken from Wiki)

not the soft keys

thanx but it wont work, if i could enter bootloader i would just reflash the rom, but i cant get my phone on, screen is all the time black. if i plug in a charger there is no charging led too.

Ok, so your saying you tried it and it doesn't work?

im saying this doesnt work because my phone is totally dead. i cant get any response, it just wont turn on.

ok I'm taking it that you didn't try that sequence because you won't say that you tried it.

Hell no he/she ain't tried it. Probably has no idea what you are telling him to do.

Well Belizibub told him, I just started reading between the lines and noticed that he never admitted to trying it.
I love your avatar Tater.

can't all read, he can't turn it on, so how is he suppose to enter the bootloader or flash it from the sd card.

how come i try to enter bootloader , the phone is D E A D, it doesnt respond on any key cominations. i cant see even blank screen, nothing, it just wont turn on.

take the battery out and plug it into the charger, if a red light comes on thats a good thing if not then you probably have whats known as a "bricked kaiser" and sent it in for repairs or go buy a new one and save that one for parts.

LOL, not even worth it.

So let me ask this, Why was this thread started? Was someone seeking help? Has someone provided the possibility of help? Do you think that the devils friend didn't understand that to this requester of help, that his phone appeared to be dead? Or is it possible the Devils right hand man knows something that the requester of help doesn't know and kindly attempted to share it with him, just to have the secret unlock code ignored.
Try up up down down left right left right a b select start.
That will fix your phone.
ps, what I'm getting at is if you haven't tried it then you need to try it. The special key config could possibly turn the phone on for you.

OK, now I see this same conversation going on in 2 different forums by the same person. Here and in Dutty's latest 6.1 release.
I noticed you are an Orange user. I have seen Multiple Orange users trying to flash radios to their phone and locking them up. I suggest looking/searching for one of those threads and see if they have a solution.

[Solved]Still no Brick!!!

Hi People
I think I have really bricked my Diamond for sure. I have read all the threads related to this problem and have tried all the possible fixes but to no avail.
Here is the problem: It is stuck on the first screen after tri colour screen showing the RGD info in red ink at the bottom right cornor. Pc wont recognize it and Active Sync 4.5 on xp is grey, not green.
I have done a few Hard resets and Soft resets. I have Olinex Hard Spl installed. Had Dutty's 1.6 working perfectly when decided to cook my own with Surface Kitchen. My first cooked rom worked fine and then I cooked another one with same base Stock rom , adding som programs and bam, this thing happened.
Please Help Help and yes I had flashed the same Diamond with every available cooked rom with no problem.
Thanks in advance. Lets not Die this beautiful Jewel.

Anyone please?

Can you get it into bootloader mode??? If so, you should be fine to re-flash at that point.

I can get it to tri colour screen but it wont sync with pc ...?

So after getting to the tri-color screen and then plugging in the USB cable, you do not get "USB" at the bottom of the screen?????

Thanks for the quick reply..
Ok here is what I am doing. I perform the hard reset. Get the tri colour screen for couple of seconds and then it comes to the screen where it asks to press Volup to restore. I did it with the usb connected and usb disconnected but it wont sync. Active sync icon at the bottom on pc stays grey not green.
Pressing Volup on diamond restores, reboots and brings it back to 1st splash screen with RGD info at the bottom in red ink. aaaaah

When you are in bootscreen, connect via usb.
In the bottom off your screen you should see "usb"!
If this is what you see then flash one of the stock roms again.
After you've done this, your Diamond restarts and everything should be OK again!
Good luck!

Ok, do this:
1. Unplug the USB cable from the phone.
2. Hold down the Volume-down key and the Power button, then press (and let go of) the RESET button with your stylus.
3. When the tri-color screen appears, you can let go of the buttons.
4. The screen should say "Serial" at the bottom (in the gray color area).
5. Plug in the USB cable (The screen should change to "USB").
6. Run the RUU app to re-flash the phone.
That should get you back up and running.

To enter bootloader, turn phone off then press volume down and reset simultaneously and then power ono. If you have done this correctly it will remain there and the word "serial" appears at the bottom. Then plug in USB and the word changes to "USB" you can now flash ROM

When I flashed mine it also got stuck te first time because Windows found it necessary to install new USB driver when the Flash util wanted to connect to the HTC. The flash program jumped out leaving the diamond with the RGB screen...
But, after windows installed the new USB driver, I restarted the flash program and it finished just fine.
So if you cannot connect anymore I would try to find out if the USB driver has changed. Did you try connecting to another USB port?
Otherwise I would try to connect to another PC...
Hope it helps,
Beamer

fingers crossed
hope you unbricked it m8

@tararura
Be sure to come back and update the thread if you were successful. It may help others later if they search instead of starting another thread with a similar problem.

Holy smokes......
Its breathing again. Thank you TomInMB and Windoze9t8. Give yourselves a kiss for helping me out.
I used Windoze9t8's method and it came to the serial screen and then I flashed it with Dutty's.
So I was using hard reset method to get to bootloader screen, which was wrong.
So for everyone else, its Voldown and reset button at the same time for Bootloader screen.
Flashing is done and Active Sync recognized the Diamond.
Thanks again for everyone..... and I am sure that a few of us learnt the new trick from this thread.....

Glad to hear you're all set!!!! I sure would hate to have the feeling that my precious diamond was useless!!!!

Thats right , I already lost a lots of sleep trying to fix it last night..

GOT IT!! check this link out, all you need to do for a hard reset is hold the red power button and press the reset button which is right by the memory card slot just pull up the memory card cover and youll spot it, just press it with the stylus. keep holding the power button till you get the option to erase all your data and press up
