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

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.

Guys,
I just tried to upgrade to a new ROM on my Cingular 8125. I have upgraded from the original rom to a Mr. Clean AKU 2.3 Rom a while back. This time I tried to load Ell's AKU 3.2 Rom.
Anyway, my computer locked and restarted during the flashing process (99%)
My phone turns on and shows the colored bar screen (is this called the bootloader?). This is all it does. I'm not sure how to try and fix this. I'd like to try and reflash a rom; however, if I try to do that I get Error 260. This error says it can't find the phone which is easy to understand since Activesync can't connect since the phone won't boot.
HELP!

i had this very proglem... TURN OFF THE PHONE ASAP.. as the bootloader screen will drain your battery very quickly.... reset computer and phone... plus in the USB cord.. and in the booth loader screen in the lower left corner.. you should see USB!!! just flash workin room.. and you should be set to go.. i believe>.
When I plug the phone in it does show USB in the lower left corner; however, The rom update utility can't see the phone.
Am I doing something wrong or should I be trying to install the rom in another manner?

hmmm i dont know... try restarting both devices.. other then that i cant hlep ya.. im still new to this...
USB means it is connected.
Again, keep the battery out when you aren't doing the flash. Reboot the PC in case the link is down.
Try flashing a stable ROM, like the Mr. Clean one you used before. Activesync doesn't need to operate, the ROM will see the wizard if the wizard says USB.
Zonealarm actually interferes with my ROM flashes, although it prompts me to see if it is ok; you might turn off your firewall prior to doing the ROM flash. If you do so, disconnect from the web.
I have also the same problem with my XDA 2 mini or the other called this the HTC Magician. I try to UPgrade my Radio 1.03 to 1.12. and when im applying the upgrade procedure the Upgrading stops and error. What happen now is my XDA 2 mini or HTC magician doesnt open now. only the word "SERIAL" and when i plug the USB, the word "USB" show on the screen................... Is there some one can help me pleasssse with my problem....
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

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

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!!

Like music to my ears
I cant believe this....I had no issues all day upgrading the ROM...until my PC overheated and shut off at 57%...
now when my phone starts up I see the 3 bars and it sais USB in the bottom left...but active sync is not connecting!
help!
what 3 bars?
a Red Blue Green Bars color?..
If that so.. you are too lucky..
I read a little more on the wiki:
Type 2a: When the phone boots, it goes directly to bootloader mode (tri-color screen)
This is what I have right now...I can't seem to get active sync to connect...although at the bottom of the screen it has "USB"
I have tried using mtty and dont think its diong anything...
Just stay in the bootloader (tri-color screen) and make sure the "USB" is shown in your device screen..
The reflash.. even if its not sync/connected.. just reflash the ROM..
Everything will be fine..
wow....i think it may actually work....that was SCARY.
nice to know the good ole button flash works when all others fail
I just want to make a clarification..
You are just flashing your device and when the upgrade process is on 57% your computer suddenly shutoff? and the upgrade was cut..
What happened next? did you reset the device then went to tri-color screen? or you just force bootloader mode it?
Yeah pretty much exactly what you said. I literally got up for a second to get some water, came back and saw the telltale sign that my pc had just shut itself off (the screen was black except for the standard boot junk that shows up).
So I look at my device (8125) and it was locked at 57% and was not responsive. I figured that the flash util probably wouldn't continue after the computer started back up (and besides, the device wasn't alive anymore) so I rolled the dice and unplugged the USB and took out the battery. When I put the battery back in and hit the power button, it went straight to the bootloader (the tri color screen).
- By the way - ive got the button image on here now - workin like a champ...
tnx for the explanation..
have fun!!..
thanks for the quick reply - i thought i was completely stuck but the button flash seemed to take care of everything. Makes me almost think that bricking this thing is near impossible... >
Yup!.. that also my conclusion.. its impossible to brick.. thats why i ask for your clarification..
What is this "button flash"? I am stuck in RGB boot mode with no activesync connection. I have read til my eyes crossed, but can not fix my 8125 (G3)!
Please advise.
How about more information? On your bootloader (Rainbow screen) what does it show the IPL / SPL to be? What were you trying to do when you got into this situation? What happened when you were flashing? Is your device a G3 or G4?
Safest thing for you to do right now is to flash your carrier's rom onto the phone (an official shipped ROM). With your phone in the bootload, just run the ROM and it will install (DO NOT RUN A CUSTOM ROM AT THIS POINT SINCE YOU HAVEN"T TOLD US ANY OTHER INFORMATION).
G3 8125
ipl/spl 2.25
Was trying to use faria's latest rom...got stuck at 99% for almost one hour, so I rebooted computer and discon'd the wizard. Now it will boot to rainbow screen and will not connect via activesync (so I can't utilize any other roms to get back to square one).
ActiveSync will NOT connect when you are at the boot loader. As long as you see USB in the bottom left of your phone (above the left soft key) then you can flash your original Cingular ROM and be good to go again.

the device freezed at 99% and I reseted it then....nothing happend- bootloader mode: red green blue + usb... but no chance to flash ANYTHING... always the same message:ERROR (260) update error, no connection to the device...???

Why did you reset it??? All roms freeze. The screen that is flashing the ROM even says it can take up to 10 mins. If you don't get an error onthe PC then DON'T stop the flashing process.
Go get a copy of your carrier's official ROM (not a custom one, but an official one from your carrier.). Then with the phone at the boot loader (Rainbow screen) and the USB cord plugged, in, run the official ROM. If that doesn't work, then get a copy of the Wizard Love rom and flash it (You'll need to find links around here for it, or pull it via PirateBay). You may also want to reboot the PC you are running on and remove your SD card (if you have one) just to remove variables that can play in to all of this.
Good luck

Ten minutes is understandable, but mine stalled for about an hour at the 99% mark. Even my PC would not respond. Is that normal for a rom upgrade?

I was finally able to reset my 8125 to the Cingular ROM. Not sure why I couldn't do it on my PC, but after moving over to my wife's PC I did not have any problems.

No, that sounds like your pc locked up or something (I'd blame windows on that one )

Sorry, I may be missing your humor or sarcasm... Are you saying its dead (if so, give more details about what it does or doesn't do, IPL/SPL it shows (if it turns on), etc... If its now working, then congrats!
Hello folks I desperately need help, Ive just bricked my brand spunky new wizard G4 IPL/SPL 2.21.0001. I tried to do a Rom upgrade from shipped Rom to WM6, xm6 by mfrazz. I went through the process to 99% and then the progress meter changed from blue to red 99%, it stood there for awhile and gave the Error code 302. The screen is now in rainbow colours, it doesn’t do nothing. I need help please.

Thanks for the advise, No I did not CID unlock it, I read some where in the post it’s wasn’t necessery to CID unlock G4 wizard, unless I was day dreaming! I need detail help pls, the wizard is not responding to a any treatment from it current state. It’s in the rainbow coma if I may call it, if I take out the battery it obviously goes off completely. If I put the battery back in the rainbow colours comes back on and it doesn't do anything. In This circumstance, how am I supposed to flash it back to cingular ship rom, please explain? Many thanks
All you need to do is download the official T-Mobile ROM from their site and re-flash it. The fact that you are in the "rainbow" screen is a good thing because that's the bootloader and where you need to be to flash. After that, you may need to go through all the postings about flashing a G4 again a time or 2 because if you had read them you would have already known how to fix this problem.
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLOM!!!! ok can some one please tell me what i need to do to fix this problom im at the rainbow screen and i am just stuck! is there anyway to just get my phone back to normal?????????
First, connect your phone to your PC. Don't use an USB hub, plug it directly into the PC!
Then, start the phone. When it is in "rainbow" mode, just execute the flash utility (the original provider ROM) on your PC to begin the flash process..
This should work!

Hello.
I am new here and I have to say, that I have to manage a big problem.
Whats happend?
A few days ago I get an Vodafone branded Kaiser and yesterday I tried to falsh a new unbranded ROM. So downloaded the HardSPL Tool an the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship ROM.
I have connected the Phone via ActiveSync and installed HardSPL first.
Everythings looks fine and I started flashing the new ROM.
While the flashing process was during my PC crashed and the flashing process has been interrupted.
I have started the phone and the PC again but the phone was locked since then.
When I start the phone I get only a screen divided into four colors (red, green, blue and white) without any function.
In the red field I can read
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
The phone has since no function. I can#t switch it off an I can't use any of the buttons.
If I try to connect the phone with my PC for re-flashing the ROM ActiveSync does connect to the phone and would not be green highlighted.
What I should I do? Who can help me solving this problem?
Many thanks to all, who are willing to help me.
