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.
THIS is truly heaven for me !!

How do I delete this post?!
* UPDATE: Either I'm just really tired or I am going blind. I fixed my problem, but now I cant seem to be able to find a way to delete this post...
I got my Cingular 8125 about a week ago, it's been a dream! I LOVE THIS THING!
Tonight I decided to update the ROM. I got it with 1.8 or something really old like that so I thought updating would be a good idea. I went to the HTC site an downloaded the latest ROM (2.25).
As I am a mac user, I fired up the old PC and updated. But before I did, I installed SPB Backup on the 8125 and backed everything up to my miniSD. Update went fine. Worked like a charm. I went to restore my files and thats where it all went to hell!!!
I made the mistake of restoring ALL of my files and settings. It seemed fine when it was done. the 8125 asked for my password, and as I finished typing it in, the 8125 rebooted without notice. The Cingular screen came up, loaded fine. Then the Windows Pocket PC screen came up and then the top bar with icons came up. That was it. Now it just sits there, nothing else loads. I can put it on stand by. But nothing else happens. No today screen, no phone, no signal, nothing.
I tried to connect it back to my PC but ActiveSync cant mount it. I tried the Wizard ROM update installer, but it said that the device couldn't be found. I tried connecting it to my Mac with Missing Sync. It asked for a password, which it has never done before (which seemed promising) but after I typed it in, again, no device was found.
Now the poor thing is just sitting there on my desk
Is there anything I can do to get it up and running again? Is there a way I can get one of my machines to recognize it and wipe it clean so I can start fresh???
Please help! I bought this phone refurbished, so I dont know if I will be able to get it replaced. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Was this device CID unlocked? Did you try going to the bootloader mode (Hold camera down and press reset while holding camera button, rainbow screen should appear) and then flashing it with your desire ROM?
If it still don't work, you might need an SD backup image of a rom. I've been trying to look for one but the only think I found is an image of a dutch language ROM. If I do get one I'll give you a PM.

Hey thanks Clem! I did solve my problem, but now I have a new one. I HATE 2.25!!!
So if you do get your hands on an older ROM, I would be forever greatful!
Thanks for responding!
Here is the link for the 1.8 Cingular ROM
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe
I hope this works for you.
You think you can save that 2.25 image to your SD card coz I've been looking for an SD image this is ths instructions...that is if you don't mind.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/How_to_DumpROM.txt
and here are the files needed
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/ntrw_189.exe
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/psdread.exe
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/romupdate_115.exe
This will also create you a backup of 2.25.

You you have the right DreaIMG.nbh file? RC7 is Europe RC29 is US.
no limit
I tried both, still nothing. I get the same message not alow
Where did your device originally come from? The error is related to the nbh file not being compatible. You can Google for this and find lots of discussion about that error message. If it is not US or UK it may take some special steps. There is a process involving a "gold card" that may be what you need.
I am also having this issue. it is a USA Tmo G1 with the DMD64 1.6 update. mine flashes a screen that says "no img file then gets stuck on a 3 colored screen with the radio info. any ideas?

Make sure the card is formatted fat32 and the DreaIMG.nbh is the only file on the card.

my phone is stuck on the rainbow screen i take out the battery and put it back in and it automaticaly turns on and jusmps to the rainbow screen can anyone help me?

Having same issue (Not Allowed)
Will try Goldcard method...
Note - I previously had installed Android 2.2 on this G1 then went back to 1.6 as it was performing ok but slowly....
Was about to try it again but had updated my firmware to DMD64 then I was getting (Not Allowed)
I'll let you know how I get on with GoldCard...
My phone runs fine but can't root it at all with the desktop program and androot 1.6 it says it roots it but then open rom manager and it tells me dont have super user permissions.
i used universal androot and it worked without the hassle of trensfering files to your sd.
(Rogers HTC Dream)
Ok, so, i know this sounds ridiculous, and you may find yourself asking "WTF Was He Thinking?!?!?" But, was a late night, and i was quite possibly half asleep lol...
Ok, so, long story short, i have tried possibly every rom for the Rogers Dream, and majority of them didn't work for me, or atleast, if they did, not that well.... Cyanogenmod 6 worked ok, although it started to get slow pretty fast :/ Anyways, i had previously rooted and flashed my dream with the steps provided on cyanogen's wiki, but i had never updated the kernel or anything, so, i came to the conclusion that it was possibly my kernel that was un-allowing me to run most roms, so i decided to update my kernel using the steps here
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139"
Everything went well, kernel updated, wiped everything, except i accidently deleted my recovery.....but thought, no problem, i'll just follow the instructions on the thread, no biggie.....it said to download the "orange-1.58.73.2.nbh" and flash that......BUT... I Should have known that the Orange one was the one for T-Mobile!! But out of stupidity i didn't realize it and flashed it!! Now my phone won't boot up or Anything :/ when i try to boot into recovery OR Hboot, it shows the t-mobile startup flash, then shows an error with a triangle and a yellow exclamation in the middle, with a phone on it's side beside it!! :S
Did i completely mess up my phone?.... Someone please help!! x.x
I got a Rogers dream and I just push amonRA with adb. As for the exclamation screen, I think there is a key combo to bypass it. Something like volume up and power at the same time. I can't remember now the exact combination. Took a lot of Googling to find it, and if I remember correctly the dream has a different combo than the tmo did. But with this nexus one my memory has faded.

The orange nbh is orange not t-mob..
But has a eng spl so recovery is easy.. head over to my 2708+ radio thread and flash that, a 2708+ rom (most new roms support it and older ones the kernel in that thread will fix it.
Rogers if they are your carrier may cut wireless data there is a e911 wavier form to get around this search for it or ask the support person if they cut your data for detasils.
The good thing about using the 2708+ radio/kernel is extra ram, and it works on the rogers dream the same way as the non rogers dream thus you can ask more people to help support you with 2708+
Thanks for the reply guys,

thanks for replying, would had posted in your thread but didn't want to jam it full of even more posts of someone needing help lol...
as for your reply, it was after i had flashed the orange nbh that i was getting the t-mobile splash :S thus i assumed it was t-mobile.... but, as for flashing anything, i can't....when i try to boot phone in hboot or recovery, i get the error i previously mentioned, and when i normal boot, i can only get to the screen that says to plz insert sim card, and it won't let me pass that screen :S....that's where im stuck.....i tried using the usb cord to access adb through it, but on the comp it says there are no adb devices, i'm assuming it's because i can't get past the "no sim card" screen to enable debugging ..... Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
I'm going to hope you are doing something silly since your description indicates no problem with the phone.

I don't recall if adb is enabled by default on the orange rom; regardless this is the rom. (putting a sim card active or not in the phone may let you get further however ought not be necessary )
So either you got so anoyed at your phone you did phisical damage to it or you are attempting to enter HBOOT/Fastboot incorrectly.
Powering on when holding 'camera' is supposed to always bring you to the HBOOT screen; then pressing send or back as prompted will let you to the Fastboot screen (don't re-flash the orange NBH, say no if it asks)
Alternatively either booting with send or back will go directly to HBOOT.. (The rogers [2000 series] dream uses Send while the t-mobile (100 series) users Back but some SPL only provide the back options regardless of dream model.. I don't recall about 1.42.2000 so you will want to try both)
In theory Home is the only button to send you to recovery.
Once in fastboot it ought to be a full featured fastboot and the normal 2708+ install instructions will work using fastboot on your PC
That /!\ screen *is* recovery, alt+L will show you additional options.. but in its self its not that useful.

Ahh ok lol, i'd installed RA recovery when i first got the phone, so it was the only recovery screen i remembered ever seeing, thus why i was confused, but yah, hit alt+L and saw the options, but yah, not that many :/

Apparently was entering it wrong, i was used to using Home+Cam+End to enter hboot.....so that's my fault....

When i enter hboot, it looks like a friggin rainbow now lol....red, green, blue, and white bars as the background :/ and once in hboot, it says "Serial0" in the middle of the screen :S and when i plug it into the computer, i tried hitting both back, and send, and it makes the "Serial0" dissapear, but seems no matter what i do, it won't show the phone as a connected device in fastboot :S
Thanks again for replying soo quickly and all the help u've been giving me, any advice on where to go from here or getting it to enter fastboot?
What you are describing is not 1.42.2000.. but 0.95.0000.. or that its likely the Dreaimg you flashed was the t-mobile rc29 and not the orange nbh..
Rc29 can be flaky.. but there are two options
1) go to recovery, alt+l and wipe, put a sim card into the phone and root via telnet.. assuming you have the 1.x radio of rc29 follow the link to my 1.33.2003 spl then with that install 2708+ normally
2) if you still can't boot you will need to use/make a goldcard (if you don't already have one this may require finding a friend's phone to help make one) and this time flash the orange nbh *not* rc29
0.95.0000 will not let you flash a rogers nbh so there is no way to re-flash with out a goldcard.. otherwise I'd just have you flash the roger 911 patch and re-root from there..
hey if you are still getting that screen with the yellow triangle and '!' that means you have stock tmobile recovery with no rom lol can you try to press (alt+L) hold alt and press L should make a list pop up.. if it does than maybe you can still re root it so than it will read your sim... but im not sure if the rogers G1 has and different software so it could possibly make it worse.. lol just a suggestion

2) if you still can't boot you will need to use/make a goldcard (if you don't already have one this may require finding a friend's phone to help make one) and this time flash the orange nbh *not* rc29
0.95.0000 will not let you flash a rogers nbh so there is no way to re-flash with out a goldcard.. otherwise I'd just have you flash the roger 911 patch and re-root from there..

Hboot is 0.95.0000
Radio is 2.22.19.26I
So i'm guessing it is the rc29 And i'm not too sure what a gold card is? :S

that sounds like stock 1.5 firmware to me
..Still have yet to find a solution....any help please?
info again is
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Background:
Accidently wiped rogers rom + flashed t-mobile rom, and since then,
Hboot says "Serial 0" and won't allow me to flash any images, phone doesnt have a recovery, will boot up now, but only to the android set-up process which i can't continue with because it won't accept my rogers sim card, despite the fact i unlocked the phone before all this happened :/ so i can't sign in to or create a google account. Have attempted every bypass to get past it with no success. Obviously since i can't get past it i have no access to adb...
Please help
Just out of my curiousity, got download the orange nbh file (make sure that it marked orange).
Format your SD card to FAT and put the nbh file in the root of your SD card.
put the SD card in your G1.
Boot up with camera+power and flash it.
See if that work.

Thank you for your response, unfortunately i have tried that countless times with no luck it says it cannot read or flash or something, i forget what it says Exactly but it wouldn't allow it x.x any other suggestions?
I'm Really desperate x.x and i have been having the crappiest luck lately. I bought a phone off kijiji today, spent 3 hours trying to meet up with the guy to buy it, then when i did get it (after all the running around) i took it to "The Source" to get it activated in my name , and after 4 hours (5pm-9pm) they finally said they tried everything but couldn't do it because the phone is registered to someone with a contract that has a suspended account do to owing an outstanding amount of money!!
At this point, when you boot up the phone. What do you see?

It loads up to the setup screen, in which i cannot bypass...i have tried with another active (with data) rogers sim, telus sim, and virgin mobile sim card, but none of them will work....and like i previously mentioned, i unlocked the phone prior to all this happening :S
OK! I am not sure why it will not let you activate your phone. But don't worry about that ATM.
Let try activate your G1 over wifi. Follow the instruction from the link below.

Hello,
I tried flashing this ROM. Something went wrong, not quite remember what - I think it was the verification.
As a result (I had to wipe before installing), my screen got stuck on the G1 screen. I followed these instructions, and installed the linked DREAIMG-RC29.zip. When I rebooted my phone, I was asked to sign in to my Google account, an operation which failed because I'm not on an Internet plan (3G).
I tried installing other ROMs but they all failed for one reason or another - mostly verification issues. I have no idea why, I've rooted my phone and everything.
In any case, I'd like to use a newer version of Android whatsoever, so logging in isn't really the problem (although right now it is because I cannot use the phone).
Thank you for your help.
Sound like you are not rooted yet. You cannot flash custom ROM if you are not rooted. Follow the instruction from the link below and your G1 will be rooted flashed with your custom ROM:

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
Sadly I got stuck at the very first stage:
1. Power on phone via fastboot (camera+power) wait for it to ask if you want to apply update and agree, wait for it to finish.. now power off device.

It shows the red-green-blue-white screen, then turns grey, "Checking" => "Not allow" and then back to the red-green-blue-white.
Edit: Well, if I don't do that, I can still install update.zip (step 2). Then I'm stuck in the same problem (can't sign in Google). Tried looking in the "2~By-pass Google sign-in" but I don't really understand what's going on; how to get that ADB and what do I do then?

Thanks for the find but I'm afraid it doesn't work either :\
It gets stuck at the "Click "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device"" step, the program just stops working. :\
Well, I think I've made some progress, realizing that one of the steps I've done trying to fix the pgone must have unrooted it. I couldn't find a way to root it back as I cannot bypass the log in phase. Can anybody please help me with that?
Yes, when you did that you just unrooted your G1.

Use this guide that I suggest earlier, use the step for bypass google sign in.

When I power it via fastboot, I get the rgb screen, then grey, and it goes "Loading..." => "Checking..." => "Not allow". What does it mean?
Thanks a lot for your help!

You are starting up your phone in "flash-mode" (power + cam) and you have a *.nbh file on your SD-card -> flashing of this nbh file is started when powering up the phone, but ... you do not have a goldcard or a wrongly signed *.nbh file, so flashing is interrupted.
You need a Goldcard to flash a different ROM on your phone when you are not rooted resp. do not have a SPL on your phone which accepts ROMs signed with test keys.
Could you please explain a bit further on? I don't know what a Goldcard is and can't find a good answer online.
Dankeschön!
You cannot find informations about a Goldcard? You may have a look at Goldcard.
