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 ?.

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

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:

Flashing with bootloader

I start up my boot loader(the tricolored screen) then i connect my usb(says usb connected on bottom left) then i run my RUU. Every time i do this it either says error or invalid tool. Does anyone know what the problem here is or can anyone help me figure out why i can't flash???? I am currently trying to flash a p4300/wizard 8125 and is unlocked.

You need the RUU_noID to flash another ROM. Try and flash the Wizard_Love ROM and see if it boots up

i flashed it with wizard_love rom but it loads really....reallly.....really..... slow so slow i cant really do anything with it and the screen has these lines running horizontally. what do i do now?

I can get my Tmobile MDA into boot loader (tri-color) when i plug in the the PC the USB appeared on the lower left conner of the MDA. but i can not do anything beyond that. I tried to flash to original shipped ROM from Tmobile, but it won't recognize the the phone, i tried love ROM, same thing......i've read many threads and tried many diffirent methods from other poeple, but still not get the phone recognize the phone. Any help would be appreciated

IPL 308

Its not 'bottom row' but "Button's Rom 1.05" and you can find it in 'Definitive unlocking guide' by Dr.Putts in the 'Wizard Upgrading Forum'. or from this link :-

Big Problem?

I was performing the radio update on my MDAIII and now he hangs in the bootloader with USB in the upper middle und 2.08 in the under middle. All resets won`t bring it back to life. If I try to reinstall the update all I get is a blank message screen (update from version to version) in my Vista. How can I get out of there.
I did everything what was stated here
The original BAUpgradeUT won`t find my device. The MAUpgradeUt_noID.exe gives me the blank screen with the update from to screen.

I'm using a Vista PC.
After the Radio update to 1.15 the error described above is not to go away yet.
What to do, I'm nearly in tears.

Finally I got it back but with an old Romupdate from T-Online. Is there someone who got the QTC 9090 update (latest one)

That was fast..
im glad you solved your problem.
i think someone here has it.
just post what you need and make it as a title for others to read in the digest.

Im not a expert but is vista the problem??

Most likely.

Failed MDA II flash with vista notebook
Hello everybody,
I just read this thread in hope to find a solution for my problem, which is quite similar to the one described here initially.
I got a used MDA III with T_Mobile ROM. Since I'm a customer with O2, I wanted to change the ROM to O2 as well. I followed the directions given in an other thread here (don't have the link just now) and during the flashing, the flash application suddenly had no connection to my MDA III anymore. It was securely settled in its craddle an connected to my laptop via USB. Now my MDA III is stuck in Bootloader Mode with USB v2.07 displayed on the screen.
Each retry of installing either the O2 or the T_Mobile ROM now meet with the error 101: no connection. I read here that you managed to update successfully with a vista pc. Thus I wanted to ask, how you did that since I just don't seem to find the reason for the connection failing each time.
Here is what i tried to establish connection so far:
* disabled virus scanner & firewall
* unplugged the mda III and plugged it in again. It was recognized as a new device but that didn't help the connection issue
Could you please post what you did to make the update work under vista? Help would be greatly appreciated

Try on computer with Windows XP and kill activesynk (wcecomm.exe on taskmanager/processes)
Maybe it will work. If u cant flash O2 ROM try to use "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe". On my Qtek 9090 allways flash using this APPS and allways work.
U can try too format device first, put it on candle and use "mtty1.42.exe". On XP, kill active sync, and open mtty1.42.exe and select port USB and put OK. Do "Enter" on command and should appear USB>. After this write Task 28. This will format all your PC. Try install SO after this. This command delete all files on PPC. I have attach files that you maybe need.

thankfor the tipp and sorry for my late reply. Since I have no XP PC available i tried the mtty1.42.exe on my vista notebook. When i run it however, it only lists com port 1-3, no usb port. Do i have to make a special configuration on vista for it to work?
Thanks in advance,

In vista i dont know...sorry for my late reply too.... in XP u must kill ActiveSync process called wincecom.exe. in vista, maybe u have to kill the Windows Mobile Device Center....i dont know...
Dont forget, put the Qtek 9090 in Boot Loader Mode (Pressing Power Button + Record Button + Reset), maybe will appear USB and u can format the device.
If this does not work, try on Windows XP....Find a friend with Windows XP and ask him to use his PC only to do that.
Maybe somebody in forum have the Windows Vista and can help u....
Sorry my terrible english....

HELP! Can´t Get Stock SPL on my X1

Hello!
Please I need help, i want to send my Xperia back for warranty reasons, but i can not manage to get the Stock Spl back on my Phone.

(here:

)
I am using My Brothers Laptop, which runs on Windows Vista, because I have a Macbook.
So when I do the Steps on the HardSPL programm and finally there comes the Process bar on the Screen of the Laptop. then my X1 turns off and there comes the green-red-....-Screen, which is normal according to the video turtural. Then the phone goes to grey/white screen and says Loading....
Finally the HardSPL programm pops up an error Page where it says that it cannot connect to the PDA Phone. The Phone keeps showing the loading screen and never stops. So i removed the Battery.
I have the tmobile R1 DE ROM currently on it Because it was the Stock Rom.
Please can anybody tell me What is the Problem and how to Solve it?
Is it maybe because I am trying it with Vista and not with XP?
If yes can anybody tell me how to do it with Vista??
Thanks

vista is not % 100 compatible with x1.so i ll recommend you to use xp.you ll be allright.because i did in xp without problem.in the vista or mac you can install wmware and you can get virtual xp if you want.you can google for more info about wmware.good luck mate.

I've done it with vista ok:
Tips: Disconnect from internet (Shut down wifi/lan)
Turn of Windows firewall/standalone firewall
Turn off anti-virus software
remove SD card
Try to remove hard spl again
Once finished re-enable all firewall/virus stuff before you go back on the internet

Diamond stoods at bootloader screen

After I get out my diamond from my pc and than turned off it cannot start, it stoods on screen when it shows me version of my radio and ROM. I know that I have to do hard-reset but i dont want to, because i were so dumb that I dont backed up my mdata and programs which Ihave installed in Memory. Is there any chance to turn it on without the hard-reset???
Thx in advance.

do you mean bootloader (Tri-Coloured Sceen) Or the splash screen (Black Screen with touch diamond on it)?
I suggest you do a hard reset, and check this thread on how to easly back up ur programs, settings and manila config for future use using SASHIMI

I dont think your phone is bricked, put your phone into bootloaded mode, connect phone to pc and flash the nbh file using CustomRUU. That should fix things
