Did I kill my Wizard?

Hi there,
I installed a bunch of stuff on the AKU3.2 Rom H-tec innov / O2 ROM which i found on the ftp and now when i soft-reset the phone, it either gets stuck (in windows) on Today, where it only loads like half of it and is consequently stuck or it resets again...
How would I be able to solve this issue having that it doesn't connect to ActiveSync?
Thanks a bunch,
John

OK let me clarify.... phone is totally unresponsive. I turn it on, HTC Innovation screen pops then the O2 with all the version, it loads windows and you can't really do anything but turn it off... or hard reset which doesn't help because the next time it loads, it just does the same thing...
What can I do

Thought it might've been in the wrong section!

Try to put it in bootloader mode and reflash. Goodluck!

Thanks for your reply, could you direct me please to somewhere where i can read of how to put it in bootloader mode? I have no idea and I can't find it in the manual. Thanks
If you want, you can IM me on YIM: ionutz_ceo
Thanks a lot

I've achieved putting it into bootloader mode, how would I go about reflashing now?

lol, ok!
So basically this is the result of my 2 hour research::
If you're Wizard is frozen, you do this:
1. Turn off USB in ActiveSync
2. Download mtty
3. While phone is off, press Camera button then holding it press Power button on phone and it will load in bootloader mode
4. Connect mtty to the phone via usb
5. <<< Here is when my research parts ways
6a. You can use a sd card and put an image on it, using mtty reflash the phone (don't know how to do that or where to get the image)
6b. There's another way of reflashing the phone...
Can anyone fill me in on that?

That seems a bit more complicated than what is really needed.
Assuming that your device was a G3 before you started, you are CID unlocked and you didn't overwrite incompatible bootloaders on a G4 device by using a G3 only ROM:
Once you are in bootloader, connect your USB cable. You should see the letters USB in the lower corner of your device.
Reflash with an official AKU2 ROM (latest available from your carrier's website.)
to do this once you are in bootloader mode and see USB in the lower corner execute the rom installer.
Don't flash an AKU3 Rom until you read all the threads completely on them. Several programs that work with AKU2 do not work with AKU3 and will freeze your device - Which appears to be what you are experiencing. There is still work being done on AKU3 and they aren't for mainstream use yet. There are driver incompatibilities, database restructures and such that haven't been accounted for in some software. The most common issues are documented repeatedly in every AKU3 ROM thread.

Yes I agree with this the other option is a bit more complicated. This is much easier

@ ionutzu
Please update how the solutions above worked for ya. Zzan's solution is standard and most used along with being the easiest & should definitely work.

^^ you guys are wonderful!
Pretty much this is how it works, I couldn't find the "easy" solution anywhere, but now I figured it out.
1. Turn on phone holding camera button + power button
2. Connect via USB
3. Make sure USB is written in bottom left corner of PPC screen
4. Run an original ROM update (that is, the ones coming straight from T-Mob, I've tried it with other roms, it doesn't work)
5. It should work, you should have a fresh copy
6. I guess put your customized rom and try again....
Thanks for the help.

Can someone please help me using roms???

I recently got myself an X1, and I have to honestly say, its brill!
I am mainly using the spb shell panel, and like it for the reason that I can use my thick fingers to operate it. Is their any other user interfaces like this one?
Ok, I am a smart enough guy…(sometimes)…but I cannot for the life of me understand roms…and what you guys are going on about in these forums.
What I am looking for is a good selection of panels to choose from, however from what I can get from these forums is that I am better installing something completely different on the phone.. I assume this gets rid of my panels?
Do roms completely overwrite what is currenly on the phone? Ie. Panels, tomtom, etc.
Any tips would be much appreciated, as I am interested in a user interface that I can better customise to suit myself (cant customise spb mobile shell)…..
Thanks..

Roughly said a ROM is a collection of appz put in one file together with the WinMo OS.
What those appz are, and which version of winmo, totally depends on the creator of the custom cooked ROM. In the threads of the custom ROM is always a summary of what is included.
Most chefs delete the panels from their ROMs, except for the standard panels and the panelmanager. So you can install the panels you want to use.
When installing a new ROM (custom cooked or stock) it always deletes the phone memory, not your SD-card! So you need to install appz, change settings to your own need, and ofcourse put contacts, agenda, etc back from back-up.

Nice, thanks.
I think in that case that I will avoid them for now, as I do not have a good enough understanding of how it works. I will how ever make more of an effort to read into the process to understand how it will benefit how I use the phone.
Thanks for the heads up.

May I suggest you to read this thread:

Ok, took the plunge, and installed a custom rom....
I installed Touch_IT v4.5 and it is excellent..however
Anyone else experiencing lots of crashes? I am getting lots of crashes for stupid things like trying to open the X panel....
Whats annoyed me most is that I have taken off the back cover so much to remove the battery (to restart) I have cracked the part under the camera :-(
Just out of interest...to convert back to the stock o2 UK rom do I simply download "X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_R2AA010 - uploaded" from:
NEW ORIGINAL X1 ROMS (all released variants) update 14.3.2009
Then Hard SPL, and install this original rom?
Thanks..

Yes, and yes.
Edit: You don't need to HARD SPL again before you flash it.

I believe that ROM is the generic SE one without any of the O2 branding.
If you need to return it for any reason you will need to reflash it with the O2 ROM (which I believe is available in the same thread as you found the one you pointed out).
You'll also need to change the hard spl back to the original.
Shame about the crack under the camera, did you know you can soft reset by holding down the power button for 3-5 seconds?

How do I change the hard spl back to the original??
I do assume though there is no way to reset the phone when it has completely crashed, without removing the battery. Holding the power button down has no effect.
Its a shame as I love the touch-it 4.5 rom. I almost would live with it being unstable just for some of the features (i.e Camera with autoflash, and the touchflo 3D interface).

Did you hard reset after flash, because I've been using Touch-IT 4.5 since the day after it was released and aren't experiencing big stability issues (hard reset is press the two directly under your screen and press reset button with stylo).

When the batterycover is removed there is a tiny hole next to the battery, you can use your stylo to press the reset button inside the hole (soft reset).

hard reset after flash? no...how do I do that?
As I didnt do it, will I have to reflash it again and then hard reset?
I dont understand "press the 2 under the screen" sorry...
Thanks again..

Hey guys I just too got an X1a and want to install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485624 But still not really quite sure what to do. So I just download the ROM and ROMUpdateUtility.exe yes? (where can i find the rom update utility for the Xperia?) Then I just install it onto the phone? I know I hav to backup etc. Will this void the warranty though, will I be able to get it to factory settings if I want to change it back?
Thank you.

Hard reset:

Ok, so the reset button is the one underneath the battery cover?
and the right and left buttons are the silver rectangular ones that you can assign as anything?
Should I reflash the phone and hard reset it then, or might hard resetting it now work?

Hard reset without reflash should do the trick
ps remind that hard reset will set the OS back like it has never been used before

Curious on how revert the hardspl to original.

Don't know Resco first handed, but looking at the screenshots (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp) you should be able to enter the registry at the base of the folder tree.

Follow the instructions and it will be done.
From Mskips post
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Kaiser Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to KAISIMG.nbh
4. Copy the KAISIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Hold in the Power and Camera buttons, then press the reset button with the stylus for about 3 seconds until the BootLoader screen appears
7. You will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
8. A message will then pop up asking you to press the Power button to start the update
9. Press power button to start flashing
10. Once phone finishes flashing and says Update Complete, reset with the stylus
11. When it gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET
(press left and right softkey buttons on the front and hold in reset with stylus until message appears)
12. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Clear Data
13. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Restart Phone
14. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom

You still have the stock AT$T spl on your phone. So obviously you did not follow the steps in the guide. If you followed all of mskips steps, you would have Hardspl on your phone.
Re-read and follow all the steps carefully in mskips guide. Do not mess around with things that you do not understand or you will have a very expensive door stop on your hands.
@Chumley, is that a custom rom I see on your phone ? I thought you were the last bastion of the stock rom. What happened ? And 6.5 no less.

Oh no, I flashed this baby the first week I had it. I ran duttys last rom for about a year though.

haha look everyone...after i opened my eyes n started to read then i got it....THANKS TO ALL SENIORS...4real what ya do is something sick...and ya good at it...ohhh last question though...is there any other 65 roms like recent?

Go in to rom development and look around, even though I don't care for 6.5 , I have flashed 6.5 roms by Josh , anyrl, abusalza, and support. Chumley is currently using one by chinhe. They are all great, try each one and keep the one you like best.

Bricked phone installing rom, help?

Hello xda, so yet another person took the plunge into flashing a rom. Im not sure what I did that was wrong because the install went perfect, it made it to 100 percent and restarted my phone like it was all well and good, but it wasnt. It just sits there perpetually restarting. Believe me I have been looking unfortunately, I didn't seem to find anything that helped. From the threads I read it sounds like I can just go to the boot loader, plug in my phone, then place a stock rom from alltel on my internal storage and flash that, or maybe I was mistaken with what I read. Either way I can't get that to work I can get to the boot loader and hook it to my computer, and the computer will say something connected, but it doesn't show up as a removable storage device or anything. This is the rom I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553844 this is also the tutorial that I used http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
Please, please give me some help.

me too
Anyone have any ideas? I tried using the HardSPL from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839
and I tried may different ROMs with the same problem... So i don't think it's the ROM.
Thanks in advance!

i was able to 'unbrick' my phone...
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. load the bootloader
3. plug the phone to the computer
4. go to sprint.com and get the Rom from them and just use their exe
now it's back to WM6.1
So i guess the problem is that there's not WM6.5 ROMs for CDMA diamonds yet?

Alright thank you that worked, I thought I was going to have a diamond shaped paper weight for a minute. I do believe that there are indeed 6.5 roms for the diamond, but I have no idea why this rom didn't work. Thanks for the help.

so I got mine to work with a wm6.5 rom.
this is what i did:
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. then get this wm6.5 ROM: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084

Hope that works for you too.

You Bricked your Diamond
My Diamond bricked the other day and it wouldn't load or allow me to do a reset on it. I found a way to manually hard reset the device.
Hold the power button, the down volume button, and the enter button(the circled button) at the same time (continue to hold) then press the reset button. countinue holding the three buttons until a white screen comes up telling you to press volume up to reset device to original settings. press the volume up and it will reset. Now set up your device and immediately active sync and put a new Rom on the device

Yes thats pretty important to know when you are messing with roms, also make sure to note the boot loader screen which is reset, back, vol down, and power. That is how I fixed my phone. This tutorial is a nice tutorial to look over. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

www.everythingdiamond.info/ this site has cdma versions theyre pretty good

Yeah I actually got my latest rom from there, thanks for all the help everyone you were a god send

check everythingdiamond.info or ppcgeeks.com . Both of those sites have stickies dealing with this and all the roms you'll find there are for cdma phones.

problem on calibration screen after flash

hello i have flash a new rom 1.56xx on my blackstone spl 1.54 and when i do the calibration the screen goes white and after 2 second it returns on the calibration screen and doesn't go forward. i tried 3 or 4 different rom and also to restore the original spanish rom but the problem remains.
HEEEEELPPPPP

i tried also hard reset but nothing the problem remain

You need to accurately press the mid point of the crosses with a stylus. If it returns to the calibration screen it generally means that you have not accurately calibrated the screen.

i tried so many many times with stylus but it return every time in calibration. I have a question. can i with ceregistryeditor modify a value to skip the calibration?

Solutions:
1) Do not quick tap the "+" signs, press them (and wait) until they get moved by themselves.
2) If you have screen protector on your screen then it's time to replace it.
3) Please flash the official ROM first and then flash a custom ROM.
I believe the solution #1 should take care of your experience.

Try this then:
The solution to skip or bypass the screen alignment process altogether. (Some Chefs do this already, namely Dutty, to among other things speed up the set up process.)
How to do it: there are a couple of ways you can find in the forum, however, one way is to create a blank text file called, welcome.not, instead of welcome.not.txt, and place it in the root of your storage card. Next, flash a new rom or hard reset and you're done.
If all goes to plan, the "welcome" phase will be bypassed, any you will not be prompted to align the screen or set the date, location, time etc. If for some reason it does not, go into the root of your SD and manually with your stylus or via activesync on your desktop create a new blank file in there and name it welcome.not.

Using the method pointed out by ClydeB1, did it skip the alignment process? Please elaborate further on what didn't work. Out of curiosity, when you first began having this problem did you flash with your SD card in?

I have open the .nbh file with htc rom image editor and i have overwrite welcome.ink with a blank file. GREAT
i think that the problem is not with the rom but with the display. i have to jump the calibrate and with official rom with welcome.not in the root dir of the telephone and the storage card it works. with cooked rom no. when i reset the device the file in storage card remains but the copy in the root of telephone disappears. after so many hours of attemptes i have modified the rom and now i jump the calibrate
