Revive this bricked (?) Wizard!

I'm trying to fix my friend's MDA right now. The problem is, it's stuck on T-Mo splash screen. It can however go to tri-color screen. Can I save this MDA or should I bury it?
Any help would be appreciated

Hi!
At the tri-color screen you should be able to flash it with a new ROM. Just try it, that worked for me after a failed flash.
Cheers

I just had the same problem myself, talk about ****ting my pants.
I have a Dutch rom in my Vario and I cid unlocked it and tried installing
a US rom but the phone was dead after it.
In the tri-color screen I tried to load the new 2.26 US rom and then the latest UK rom but both failed with invalid Vendor id or something like that.
So I downloaded the NL rom from here and thnk god it loaded without a problem and the Vario is working again.
Sadly in Dutch but at least it works again, can anyone from Holland help me upgrade to the latest US rom ?.

Encountered some problem..
It would not connect to ActiveSync from tri-color screen. There is a 'USB' at the bottom screen when I plug in the USB cable, but I don't think the PC recognizes the device.
And the thing is my friend has never CID unlock the thing
He said he just took it overseas and never turned it off, when he got back here the phone went like this.
More help please

PC doesn't need to recgonize the device via activesync to flash the Rom.

Try and find your original rom.
Put the phone in the bootloader (canaryscreen aka tri-colored screen).
plug-in your usb plug.
And start the rom update utility.
Regardless of your activesync status it should start updating your mda.
This takes about 10 minutes, and will pause at some stage, don't be alarmed and don't pull the plug !!!
Good luck

Can I update using the latest ROM (2.26)? Why does it have to be original rom?

Even tho PC cannot detect the phone at all, rom update util still can go thru?
I will try again tonight, last night I tried, 2.26 rom update utility cannot detect the mda
Good luck

It's recomended to go back to the original rom, so you can go back to the point before the problems began..

In canary-screen mode the phone will have an active usb connection, ActiveSync won't detect it however, because the ActiveSync software on the phone is only started when windows-mobile is running (which doesn't occur in boot-loader).
The Rom Upgrade Utility, should be able to detect the phone.
But always make shure the battery has been charged (at least half-charged).
Several people on this forum have revived their semi-bricked phone this way.
Thanks :wink:

Slowww wizard unable to sync

Hi guys, i've been around sometime in the "qtek" world and had owned some of them in the past, now i own a wizard and i expect to begin mastering the thingie..
The problem is that after some experiments i have this problem :
I think it is not bricked.. it boots the OS but it is so sloowww with stops everywhere, takes like 4times the time to open "settings" than before. and it does not turn the charge light on and is not recognized by usb port so it does not sync and i'm unable to re flash it..
What i did was to downgrade it with CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE
and then i stick the AKU3.2-1.0RC1
It has been cid unlocked by me yesterday and was working fine with another rom..
I was thinking of entering bootloader manually and then somehow flash it..
Please Help
thanks !

i'm glad i solved the problem.. just entered manually in bootloader then flashed a original qtek rom and it fine now
thanks anyway, hope this help other people in this very situation
bye
cheers from portugal

You can't go from 1 to 3. Re-flashing a stock ROM was a good move.

Hi W4R_M4ST3R!!!
I think i have exactly the same problem as you had!
I have installed new ROM, and my T-mobile MDA Vario working veeeery slow, and i could not connect it to my computer!!!!!!
Tell me please (in details) what did you do with your phone.
Thanks!

This topic has been discussed in length all over the forum. But, here we go again. This will be based on you having a G3 device.
1. Make sure that your device is CID unlocked. if not follow the sticky thread at the top of this forum. and read through all of it BEFORE you begin
2. make sure that you have ipl/spl 2.x
3. Now upgrade to any rom you want.

How can i upgrade my ROM if i could not connect my phone to the computer! The main problem is that i could not syncronise my phone and my PC.

enter bootloader mode... press the two buttons (camera & voice command) while resetting the device. you should get a screen that's red, green and blue. from there you can reflash your device. if that doesn't work, your phone is bricked

Thank you!!
Could you explane me a bit more precise what does it mean bootloader and reflash? Does it mean that i can syncronise phone and computer when i have RGB on my screen?

When you've got your device in bootloader mode just plug it in and start the upgrading procedure

_Nomad_, thank you!
It works now!!

Lost Bootloader on G3 - Any Ideas?

Folks
WM5 (wizard love) is working, but can't see the storage card, phone shuts down sometimes, wifi doesn't work anymore and etc...
I should reflash another rom, but I can't see the bootloader screen anymore (just see a black screen when try to enter bootloader mode)
Any ideas ?
-----------
Vario MDA g3
ipl 2.26
spl 3.08
Cid locked

Well, it's impossible to "lose" your bootloader. Your phone wouldn't be working otherwise.
Can you be a bit clearer on you mean?

I can't see bootloader, can't make it appear on the screen (pressing camera on boot)
When I try flash any rom thru WM5, it becomes black when bootloader should be working...

Well, let's forget the bootloader for a moment.
The core issue is that you really need to get an updated ROM on your phone. First thing to do is remove your SD card. Then connect through Activesync and try flashing another ROM.
Try that and report back.

Nice idea , I`ll try it.
Do you think storage card is causing some error on bootloader?

Quite possible. It's been known to cause issues.

It worked!
Now I see the bootloader!
(just take off the mini sd card pressing camera on boot, and I see the bootloader screen now)
Now I'll try reflash something
I never could install WM6 yet, my ipl is 2.26 and my SPL is 3.08.
What should I flash first?
Thx for the bootloader help!

Glad to help. Just follow these instructions, if you haven't already. Then pick a WM6 version that looks and sounds good to you. You may even want to try flashing a few different versions to see what you works best for your needs.

After flash thousand times, in order:
launch rom, t-mobile 2.26 and wm6
I could never succeed!
I've heard something different this link you post from some guys in this forum, that`s because I'm looking for a comprehensive help. Do you think SPL 3.08 will be a problem to me?

It just sounds like you're not unlocked. Follow the instructions CLOSELY in that link to unlock first.

How to Flash in BootLoader

I have a stuck image on my 8125. The phone "boots" but only shows a white screen, and is unusable.
The "a2sd all" restore option mentioned in the forums doesnt work for me. I have read on several forums that I should be able to reflash the OS from the bootloader, though I cant find any instructions on how to do this
Could someone point me in the right direction for how to flash an OS VIA bootloader?
Thx

1. Get the phone to bootloader (tree color mode) - I think by soft resetting and pressing the camera button at the same time
2. Connect it to the computer (Windows XP) with a USB cable
3. You will notice "USB" written in a lower corner of the phone (this means it is connected)
4. Now you can flash your provider's ROM without any problems
I am not sure whether the bootloader flashing is possible from Windows Vista.
You must flash normally (in bootloader you cannot use either shelltools or SoftSPL - so use your provider's ROM).
Mirek

Mirek - not to be totally ignorant, but the step 4 is what I'm having problems with .... where can I find either a providers ROM, or something that I can actually use while in bootloader mode?
Thanks!

NM ... Found it!
For anyone reading this .... You can get the provider ROM for the 8125 from HTCAmerica here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8125/software-downloads.html
Thanks for your help!

IPL/SPL 2.08? Does that exist? Do you mean 3.08?
Are you sure your device is a G3? Or you killed it when flashing Button's ROM?

diamond bricked :( HELP!!!

Its working now - keeping my fingers crossed... it obviously wasn't bricked... i don't know what happened but all i did was flash the radio to what it came with 1.00.25.05 and voila!

the first screen appears the touch diamond screen, and then the windows screen (the green one) and then it restarts... and this is what keeps on happening...
any idea? any help would be much appreciated!
thanks

i got into the bootloader - connected it to the USB - shows USB on the bottom... how do i flash a rom then? CustomRUU? or is there a way to place the nbh on the internal storage?

There's No way to place it on the internal storage if you cant get into Windows. This is why I always keep a copy of my current ROM in the Internal Storage, so i can reflash if I need to.
Try doing it over USB, it should still work.

no luck

hey thanks man - you gave me the idea of going back to originals... i only went back to original radio and it's working

your phone probably didn't like that particular hard-SPL version.
