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

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.

About a year ago I flashed my fresh p4350 with (if I well remember) Aserg's rom. I was quite a noob and I don't remember if there was any warning about the IPL<4 warning. So I got a brick ever since.
I just turns on and gets stuck on the white HTC logo, the boot with the camera button pressed works and appears "USB" on the bottom while line.
I looked for some fixes on this forum but I didn't see anything helpful.
Do you now how/if I can unbrick it?
Somewhere to start
Send it to me Ill fix it and use it...nah, Im just kidding. Try looking up hard slp, or you can put your phone in bootloader mode and flash a stock rom. But with Hard slp ur flashing from the sd after...should help you. Another suggestion is to take the radio out of the rom your flashing. Look all of this up, it may help you.
Your problem could be solved: You have to 1st) do a hard reset
then flash with original flashfile, and its done
I don't remember what I did last time I tried but it worked perfectly, I just opened the original updater
HTC_P4350_SPA_4.17.412.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
when the phone was in the bootloader and it worked.
Well, now I need to change the language
I tried to HardSPL it now but it says that the image is corrupted, so I'm going to download it again and try again.
Thanks a lot!
.... unless anyone wants a P4350 in Spanish, pretty much new, unfortunately never used...
I did the HardSPL, and installed Touch-IT v4 just to see it. Now I tried to install the original Italian ROM
HTC_P4350_ITA_4.17.408.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
it didn't work, the PDA restarted itself in the normal mode and the updater sais there was an error. Now I used the Touch-IT ROMUpdaterUtility with the Italian RUU_signed.nbh
It worked! Hope this would help someone else too

Help........
I have the same problem, but I Danich......help me
Help help help...i just finished intalling duttys new leo 7 rom,now after restart my phone freezes on the 'smart mobility screen' i cant do anything more...i tried reset nothing.How do i get it to work please?
Have you followed the proper flashing procedure as explained here ?
Follow that guide and flash your phone again, it should be OK.
sounds like a bad flash, don't be scared it's quite simple.
if you are using the SD Card method, copy the file blacimg.nbh again to your card and flash again. or use anyother method.
i suggest that the safest way is the SD Card but make sure you have enough battery charge before you start
Has this been resolved?
Looks like it. He's posting in the radio rom thread today. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4862959&postcount=749
Lock plz.
it is specific to R7
I had the same problem with this R7.
To solve this i put the device in BootLoader mode and flash again.
But few times after the phone froze again and stuck. No way to make it boot cause it didn't go further than SmartMobility screen.
So i flashed a new rom to move from this scaring malfunction.
that is annoying cause this rom is very very pleasant and well optimized
Thread closed as query resolved
hey guys, few days back i strung the courage torgether to flash rom.
everything was going well till i noticed that my xperia was updating the rom and seemed to take forever to load the rom.
at present it switches itself on and off and says continuing to update rom and then a white screen with blue text says loading.
I need to find a solution to this as if i tell my dad that the device is cooked im in deep, and i also do not have insurance of which was a dull thing.
so please any suggestions and tips whould be much appriciated ty. x
I am no expert. But have you HardSPL your phone before flashing the ROM? That is a requirement.
For the current prob, I can imagine taking out your SDcard (if you are using card method) should stop it from reading the image. You prob have to hard reset the device for it to boot properly.
hey thanks for reply,
Iv tried removing the sd card but to no evail, when i do this the xperia is stuck at the bootload mode and says continuing to update rom, my battery has drained so i cnt switch the phone on, it has to be dne when on the charger.
and a hard rest does nt work.
Did you HardSPL? If not, you will need to do that first.
Anyway found few threads on it.

yes sorry i didnt metion, yer i did hardspl, and i just tried hard restting and nothing happend the screen stayed on bootload and then few seconds later went to loading please wait . . . ?,
Okay, story from the beginning, I haven't changed my ROM in awhile because I was really satisfied with the 826x (which I highly recommend people try ) Now I started to get some keyboard issues (the whole space bar, period, etc etc buttons). So I called to get it sent in to repair, therefore I thought I should revert back to stock rom and stock spl. SO. ha. see here. I sort of renamed the stock spl to kovsimg.nbh and flashed it through my SD card, right after I had already flashed my backed up stock rom. The stock rom went through, my x1 started up and everything was back to old again ....Then I did that...and *face palm* idk why I did that, maybe cause I panicked since it wasent working through RUU so I just did that stupid move. NOW. At first my x1 was always in the tricolor bootloader. With "complete update ROM" message, I tried everything and somehow I got it to get regular bootloader with no message, but when I try and start it up, I get a blank white screen. When i try to flash the stock rom on it, it would go past loading into 0% and nothing. I don't know what to do? Please help? I used mtty, SD card, RUU, trying SEUS right now...But so far everything I can think of isn't working. Might I get some advice please?
EDIT:
ah. SEUS worked . Well it only took me 8 hours to solve my [very troublesome hard to fix] problems I had with this phone today....><
