After flashing from sd card with a german big Storage rom and a soft reset, the phone doesn't switch on anymore.
I can't go into the bootload either.
What can i do now to bring back my rom bachup?
thanks!
When you can't go into bootloader you've probably killed it. Pls try once more & connect it with usb or ac to charge.
You need to be in bootloader to rescue it, a shipped-rom works best in this situation.
Still got warrenty, use it claiming it's cause by regular TMO update.
Cheers, M
the phone, doesn't react at all.. so if i can't get into the bootload, i will have to change it?
Is there any other possibility to reactivate it, or to boot the broken rom?
The bootloader is the most important part of the rom, so when even that's part is corrupt I see no repair possibilities other than chip swapping.
You'll have to send it back. Try out the warrenty issue, when the rom is this much damaged I can hardly belief that a service engineer can see what caused it.
Hope the best for you, M
You don't know someone in your neighborhood with a magician too? Or Live close to Arnheim. So you can try another battery, it might be empty & not charging.
No, the battary is fine, i've just got a new one on friday form Warrenty-Service, because of a broken speaker, so i'll send it away again..
I've read about some others that had same problems with that rom, and surprisingly there were people, where that rom is working well, i just don't belive that, because i did erverything right and it should've worked...
now i'm worried weather i should try it again with an other rom when i recive a new phone, or leave it as it is! :lol:
P.S: Thank you very much for your help!!!
Is the Bootloader a part of the rom, or is it an independent prog. on the phone?
The bootloader is a special part of the rom. Pls visit the wiki for complete explanation http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Magician
There's a bootloader section & a section about BS from a shipped-rom which is in my opinion the safest way to achieve BIG Storage.
Hope they fix your magician soon.
Cheers, M
Hi guys i'm pretty new in this scene and i did something stupid...
i've downloaded Win Mobile 6 from usenet and installed it without reading
anything. At 95% of the installation it hangs and when i try to recover it doesnt work. Now i only have the screen with the green red and blue at the background. I've tried a hard reset but that doesnt work either and i tried to search by google and found nothing.
Am i right that i had to remove some kind of G4 lock? And does somebody know how to help me getting things started again.....
thnx in advance.

do your carriers flash and let it fully finish. Once thats done, read a little on making sure your device is unlocked and once you get that done, youll be ready to move to the next level.
what your device is g3 or g4?
how do i perform such a flash and how can i see what kind of G3/4 i have??
If you got a G4 or G3 IPL/SPL 2.x:
Try flasing wizard_love rom from the bootloader screen.
If you got IPL/SPL 1.x:
flash button_rom from the bootloader screen.
damn thats a whole mouth full and i dont get it how its intended.....
perhaps you can tell me in dutch or in a language a stupid fool can understand

You should provide more information... What phone model is this? Is it a G3 or G4? What is your IPL / SPL? What did you do before this started happening? Was the battery fully charged before you started this process? Did your PC give you errors when you tried to do teh initial flash that started this process?
The more information you provide the better we can help.
If your phone won't stay turned on when its on the bootloader (rainbow screen) then either your battery is almost dead, or you may have bricked your phone. But we need more details.
this happened to me once, i almost had an heart attack.. but anyway.. what u get there is the bootloader mode, which is you can still save the phone.. when this happened to me, all i did was, i upgraded to original tmobile rom, and from there i ve used shell tool to upgrade to wm6 (my wizard is not unlocked but shelltool takes care of that and u dont have to worry).. its really easy.. let me know what happened.. no worries
Dont worry guys... I think most of us here, faced the same things before, Me included.
Everybody here is quite nice and will help u in any way we can..
Just do some research and fact finding before u flash your rom..
One of the article that I think is very helpful to me is Dr P post on how to unlock and flash your wizard.
If you have any problem or question after reading that, just ask.
Hopefully u can find your answer and your wizard are all healthy..

my phone is G4...first, when i tryed to change the rom, on 95% was blocked..and i have wait about 20 minutes, and nothing...the spl is....01...the battery was quite full, but after several tries, i don't know now how it is (i supose to be from the battery, but i still need a very good rom for it)
ok.. here are the steps.. its very easy.. i had the samething..
your phone is probably CID locked and you will need a shelltool to install that ROM.. so what you need to do is just download the original tmobile ROM.. and connect the phone and install the original ROM.. You didnt birck the phone because you get the bootloader screen.. which means, you can still save the phone..
anyway.. connect the phone via usb and install after you install the original wm5, download the shelltool from here and follow the instructions.. and install the ROM via shelltool.. Then you should be good to go with the new
wm6.

Simple: Go to the Wizard Upgrading forum and in the stickies is a post by Dr. Putingham on how to CID Unlock your device. Scroll to the bottom of the first post and there is a direct link to pull the Tmobile 2.26 official ROM.
But as EasyMob suggested (and gave a link to) you may be better off with teh Wizard Love rom since you are a G4 device. Wizard Love ROM is very good at recovering G4 devices.

If you read my previous post, I gave you exactly how to find the link (Hint, its in the first post of Dr. Putingham's sticky in the Wizard Upgrading forum and the title is about How to CID Unlock your device. Was that too hard?
i believe you, but i can't find it...and about 3 days i'm hopeless, because with any ROM version, the phone is still restarting, after reflashing (i didn't flash it with tmobile original rom)...please please, give me the link of the topic...
Hi
I just tried to update my spv c600 with (RUU_1.00_TMOUK_v1.1.22.182_Ship) rom, it had windows mobile 6 rom (i-mate version).
The installation crashed half way, now everytime i switch of the phone the screen just goes grey and notting happens. I tried to hard reset it but nothing happens. can any one help pls?
RUU_1.00_TMOUK_v1.1.22.182_Ship is not a Tornado WM6 ROM. It's an official ROM for T-Mobile SDA UK version. Congratulations!!!! You have won a very expensive paperweight!
PS. You are not the only one who has ruined it's phone. Welcome the the club!!!
Thanks, is there anything i can do?
No, not really! You can sell it for spare parts...
spv c600
can you send it to orange for it to be reflashed?
Maybe. There is still chance that it will work. But you will have to disassemble the phone. Probably when you will send it to Orange they might be able to do something about it.
spv c600
can you please give me bit more information what i will have to do after i disassemble the phone?
If your device is still under warranty, send it back. It happened to me before because I "format" instead of "format BINFS". Otherwise the cost of replacing the mother-board will cost an arm and a leg.
Good luck.

Well basically you need to find the JTAG points on your phone's motherboard. Then you need to make a JTAG cable and somehow connect your phone to your PC (you need to solder the cable to the phone's motherboard and connect to pc). Then you need to find some program that will flash the rom. I never did it but I think that it's pretty hard. Good luck.
thanks for the reply "[email protected]" did exactly what u said n got my fone alive again

There is a great lack of information on how to JTAG a Tornado! How exactly did you manage to do that by yourself? Where on the motherboard did you connect the JTAG cable? Please share....

whoah! really? if that's so, you are probably the first one who have done it!
congrats mate.
hey Guyz. I have a Tilt that a customer gave me that got bricked while trying to flash one of dutty's roms...Problem is that the genius didn't load up Hard SPL even tho he told me that he did...now He wants me to fix it...even tho he didn't follow my instructions and read the WiKi...I kno that on the Hermes it was able to be unbricked. Is the same for the Kaiser possible? I would greatly appreciate your help as my customers are loving the work you guyz do here in nyc..
Thanks in Advance!

What is the current status of the phone?
Can you get into the bootloader at all?
If you can get to the bootloader you should be able to load the AT&T AKU v0.4.4 ROM (the unoffical upgraded AT&T ROM). Once you get that loaded you should flash HardSPL immediately.
Let me know how it goes...
Cheers.
I bricked my tilt when it was less than 24 hours old... I recovered it with a BETA of the ATT rom and THEN redoing the hardspl thingy - worked a treat.
Do a search for tolt bricked and you should find afew threads for it.
The rom is called something like RUU_Kaiser_ATT_WWE....._Internal.exe
It goes to the Tri-Color Screen but stays there..I'll go ahead and research it so I can find the original AT&T and load it up...It shows a lot..workin for at&t and being a member on xda...U guyz have no idea how ya make life easier for my tilt customers b/c at&t truly dropped the ball on the rom...and by offering alternatives..u make the user experience so much better...thanks!

If you are at the bootloader screen (Tri-Color) then the phone is not bricked. In the sticky at the top on how to revert back for warranty replacement, it has links for the various roms. Just flash an official AT&T rom on it and you should be good to go. Then do the HardSPL.
Cool that you work for AT&T and hang out here! If you have any other warranty returns, I can give you my address as I wouldn't mind having a backup or two...
BTW: The AT&T ROM for the Tilt is actually quite good in the big picture of things. At least the phone is usable (slower than it should be and less memory than it should have, but its still very usable and stable on the official rom). If you want to ***** about official roms, go back to the 8125 and its official rom. The while the device (at the time) was great, that rom made the phone almost worthless (super slow, battery problems, bad radio, dropped calls, freezing, etc). I can't tell you how many people that run custom roms on the Wizard just can't believe what that phone is actually capable of.
Ok, sorry, got off topic there...
does Hard-SPL needs to be flashed just once on a device or does it need to be installed every tome a new ROM is going to be Flashed onto it?

For some reason, it's not being recognized by my Activesync. I got it to recognize it but now it sayz Error 294: Invalid Vendor ID...I'm using the RUU_Cingular_WWE Rom for the Kaiser...so I'm flabbergasted at this point...

ActiveSync will not recognize your device when in BootLoader mode!
The Vendor ID error means the ROM cannot be loaded on the Tilt without HardSPL. You need an original Tilt ROM. (That's what I think about this)

Oddly enough the "Original" Tilt ROM will not install on a Tilt that does not already have HardSPL on it (to spell it out for you, the CID of the ROM does not match the Tilt's stock SPL). If you check the "reverting back" sticky you'll find all this info already, though it is deep in the thread.
The AKU v.0.4.4 ATT Beta ROM does have the correct CID and will flash on a stock Tilt. SO that is what you are forced to resort to at this point. Once you get the beta ROM installed you can (and probably should) install HardSPL.
After all that, if you decide you want to return or warranty the phone follow the "revert" thread to restore it to "stock" form.
Some additional notes on your problem...
ActiveSync will not connect in Bootloader mode (this is expected). You should see a device show up in Device Manager however, I can't recall the exact description however.
quick flash procedure:
put phone in bootloader
connect usb cable
install ROM
FYI, the problem may not be a bricked tilt... you could try Pof's fix which involves using MTTY.exe to boot the phone, depending on how your "customer" tried to flash it it may just need a kick in the pants to restore it. (search Pof's SSPL for the Kaiser thread for instructions, the thread was closed so you will have to look deep).
<climbing on my soapbox>
Lastly... your use of the word "customer" concerns me... are you charging people for the work you do to their phones? If so, do you donate to the people who make it possible? I'm probably just misunderstanding you, but if you're profiting from others work, perhaps you should contribute (especially if you're coming here to ask for help).

Good Luck!
Cheers.
Customers as in I work for an AT&T corporate owned Retail location and they have bought Tilts from me. They kno my Tilt has been modded and they usually want to do the same. I don't charge them for doing mods to their Tilts. This still remains a community where we help each other and I cherish that. Greed has no place here.
as far as ur suggestions...It looks like I'm gonna be drunk @ 4am on XDA tonite...lol...

That's cool... my misunderstanding then. Hopefully no hard feelings .
All in all it sounds like the guy wants a custom ROM so you should probably get the ATT Beta ROM and install that. And then install HardSPL.
Check Kyphur's second post in the thread below for the ROM you want.

Good news! The AKU 0.33 worked! Thanks for ur help sycho!
how can i re-install the window? at tilt 8925
i have wm6.1
i want to reset it so the error message shud gone like Recover ?
@kaal,
It seems what you want to do is a HARD RESET. Please visit Kaiser Wiki and read through. You'll know your phone better that way.
@HTCFan & Sirsycho, Glad you both sort it out in the community spirit Cheers!

hi everyone,my problem is that after uprading my pm300 it stuck into bootloader any idea on how to solve this problem and is g4 i realy need your help urgently thx in advance
What ROM did you upgrade to? If it was to a WM6 ROM using the "new" upgrade method, you may have failed to hard SPL your device. What ever the cause, the solution (as ever) can be found on the wiki.
yes you are right i didnt HARDSPL my device befor updating with (ROM
MY GREEN EDITION WM6.1)is there any hope that my phone will come back to live,by the way thx for the reply
If the device can get into bootloader, it should be possible to recover it In my previous post there was a link to the wiki page for recovering devices from bootloader. If you want any more info, I'll be happy to try and help...
thx for the quick reply but my problem now is if i connect the phone i can see the usb on the screen alright but the computer doesnt sync it and if i go ahead and update the rom i get error make sure the usb/cradle is connected properly i dont know what to do plssssssssss i need help to revive this phone thx in advance
thx mr 13v5y for your help my is alive and working like never before thx to you once again i rely appreciate the help you gave me more greep to shoulders ve a nice day
No problem! If you ever have any issues, take a look at the wiki first though
I double posted! I blame Linux!
