I was trying to flash my phone and I guess I chose the wrong boot loader.
I have a VZW 6700 and flashed it once before then I had to return it due tothe data/usb port being broken... Well the first thing I wanted to do was RE-FLASH the refurb I got on Saturday. Well I sit down this morning and try and I am now stuck in bootloader mode.
I have tried a slew of things... I have been all over here and ppcgeeks.com looking for answers... But to no avail.
Please help!
Thanks for all the responses... I actually ended up taking my phone back to VZW and they took it back and gave me another due to the "SW CRASH"

I am a little confused. I have been trying to get WM6 on my T-mobile Wizard and actually got TNT 1.1 loaded and was working fine. I found that I could no longer view my contacts. The page would appear and then as quickly as it appeared it disappeared.
So I figured, I at least got it this far. I will just reload this rom and see if perhaps something did load right. Well after the reload. The phone boots up to the splash screen with IPL\SPL numbers and just sits. NOTHING.
I left it there for like 2 hours and still nothing. But I can still get into the BootLoader.
My questions to you gurus is:
Is the phone fubared?
Can I do some kind of master reset?
Why would it tell me "Invalid Vendor ID" when trying to flash the orginal T-mobile rom?
Are there any tools that can help me out? Paid\free?
Please help!!! Seriously! Please HELP!!!
Very much appreciated.
Thanks

if your device is G3, unlocking is required to flash any rom, before upgrade your device, it is recommended to flash an official WM5.0 rom (in your case T-Mobile rom) with IPL and SPL 2.xx then flash again.
in general there are many probabilities for your issue.
((Where is TNT1.1?? did you mean 1.0?? ))
My Bad meant 1.0
So to get it straight.... I will need to unlock my phone each time?
Oh and to correct myself again, when flashing with the T-mobile ROM it says UPGRADE ONLY. And the read me file says its the wrong RUU. But it is the same file from Tmobile I used when I first got the phone. But I will try again.
Are there any other suggestions?
You need to read the "how to flash" sticky.
I did. I am not any expert or anything but I believe the phone is unlocked already since I once had WM6 on my phone. The real issue I am having is that it wont boot past the splash screen after flashing.
And that is true when re following the steps in guide. After flashing to the button rom it will not boot past the splash screen.
Try another ROM.
Sounds like you need the "Wizard Love" rom. I dont have the link handy but I am sure someone else does.

Already got it. Thanks I am trying to load it now. But the only thing is that the last time it failed and I can understand what the error says. I know the number is 300 but can read the language.
But I will let you guys know when this load completes.
Thanks again for all the assistance.
No worky worky. The load completed and then boots the splash screen shows and then stays there.
Any ideas?
Try to remove the battery and let it out for at least half an hour. Then put it back in and see what it does then.
I thought the same thing too. So when it got done last night, out of frustration, I removed the battery and left it there to wait on when I get off work today. I will report back on what happens.
Again I would like to thank you guys for helping me. I really do appreciate it!
STEP 1 install the original manufacturer ROM
T-mobile UK

Search for the original rom for any other
instructions on how to use the original rom can be found here

Put it in the bootloader mode.. ( three color screens )
hope this helps..
cheers

Ok I did that and it gave me ERROR 296: UPGRADE ONLY
Then it tells me that the NBF file cannot be used for my PDA Phone. Please get newer NBF file.
Is there any way I can get the Tmobile splash and IPL\SPL number back to original, it doesnt need to boot all the way into WCE but atleast show the same numbers and splash during boot up?
Or any other way to get this thing to work?
Thanks guys
BTW it is a HTC Wizard from T-mobile.
If you are getting an error 300 you need a newer rom update utility, and regardless if your phone is a G3 or G4 it needs to be unlocked before you flash any rom.. LOAD a OFFICIAL cingular ROM onto your device before going any further, then unlock your phone either via www.imei-check.com or through some of the tools offered here...
Which one should I down load from Cingular? Even though I have a Tmobile phone?
what ipl and spl are you using and what radio are you using. Just post all the numbers from the bootloader
As soon as I get home, I will post them.
Thanks
Ipl 1.01
Spl 3.08
Thanks

uh oh. someone tell me if I'm wrong, but I think this is bad. it's the result of flashing a g4 with g3 or the other way around... keep searching, and good luck.
flash the original t-mobile rom. your phone doesn't appear to be unlocked. good luck
Hey GUys,
I'm not new to flashing and roms and all that jazz. Had the random stuck in bootloader that wouldn't resolve itself today (using 3.29) Loaded kaisdiagsd.nbh and flashed stock att rom. (probably should have gone right for the spl patch but I was frustrated and needed my phone) Boot loader is now v3.65
Flashed rine, reboot, same issue. Phone will now only load the stock 6.1 att rom from the micro sd. kaisdiagsd.nbh is stuck on loading as for all other roms. I can occassionally get the os to load using mtty. From there tried jumpspl and it would not connect via usb at all.
When in the stock 6.1 os I get the old unrecognized usb device in both xp and vista.
Is there anything else I can do to reflash spl? All i can think of is trying the task 2a, wiping everything and trying to flash from diag but I don't even want to try that route without something solid in place.
The phone is 2 years old, upgrading when the touch pro 2 hits att in aug sept or whenever, but I need my phone.
I have gone through many many many posts. I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
Is there anything else I can do to flash a n
Have you tried to flash the SPL from the SD card? Worth a shot if not.
thanks for getting back, i have tried..multiple. It will just sit on loading as for everything except that damn att rom. i've been going at this for hours and hours. just to make sure, the spl flash will still be named KAISIMG.nbh correct? or has my frustration gotten to me
Yes but make sure you dont put the .nbh. Just kaisimg or it will be kaisimg.nbh.nbh and wont work
haha, yeap. i'm an i.t guy so i have file extensions showing by default so thats golden
I have the stock att rom up and running so the phone is functional, but that said, its the ****y att rom and I'd really like to change that asap., I'm just tired and fed up at this point really
Also for flashing SPL from SD card you need kaisdiag.nbh. Place it on the SD too. I should have told you that first. Its in my 4shared if you dont have it.
just tried it. it is stuck on the loading screen....

if i flashed a gsm radio on a cdma? jus curious cuz i did that
Get your operators ship rom, then flash it via SD card. Reflash HardSPL and then flash a CDMA rom.
Oh dear. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember when someone has done that before, the phone was bricked (i.e. flashing the wrong radio, not just the wrong ROM). I do hope I'm wrong.

He said "cuz I did that", i.e. he *did* flash a GSM radio onto a CDMA device.
Suppose, but I would of expected a n00b to of posted something more like
"HELP!!!!
I flashed a sprint radio to my Tmo TP2 and now it wont turn on
PLZ PLZ PLZ HLP ME!"
he seemed rather calm
thanx for posting, well i thought i broke my phone a couple of days ago prior to this bcuz my phone turned off out of nowhere and wouldn't come back on even after being charged for an hr. then it turned on a couple hrs later when trying again. (dont ask me how bcuz Ive never had this problem before) and yes i did flash the wrong radio so im done for right? the reason why im being calm is cuz i thought i was gonna have to replace my phone in the first place. i was hopefully wishing on the inside for a miracle

Well, unless someone comes forward and says otherwise, I'm sorry to say yes, I think you're done. In the past one or two people have posted up a similar scenario and I don't recall them posting to say they fixed it.
It might cost you less than replacing your phone if you pay for your phone to be repaired.
Well possibly not. IF you can still get into bootloader (hold the volume down button when powering on or if device is already on hold down volume down and softreset) first LOOK AT THIS TASK 29 POST HERE BUT DONT DO ANYTHING YET!:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Make sure to download the file provided, extract it to wherever.
Now goto this post here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=90342
and download the correct radio for your provider.
Replace the NBH file from the TASK 29 threads package you extracted with the one from your provider.
Run the task29 as instructed.
Once its done it wont boot into a rom you need to go back into bootloader like I told you how before (Volume down and reset) now find your providers stock rom from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91940
and flash that rom to your phone. Hopefully this will resolve your issue, best of luck to ya mate.
To anyone ready to post disagreeing: Please dont post up saying about task29 and saying it wont work and stuff, I have fixed two worldphone this way because the owners did exactly what he did, in the way I described here.
thanx aestivalisakito im willing to try what your taking about. have a couple of questions tho. its not that im making it go into bootloader. when i hit power it goes str8 to it. could that be a problem for this fix?
my screen sticks at the multi colored screen with writting in the background saying" code error please try again".and i noticed that, one time while powering on b4 getting stuck. it, for a split sec. try to go to the grey screen to flash and says "loading No image found" then back to multi colored screen. does this help any?
also can i use task29 thru sd card?
thanx for your help

Ahh it appears you weren't that clear. If you get into the multi-coloured screen, you are at bootloader. Download a rom from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms to get your original shipping rom. Once you have done this, put the nbh on the sdcard named as rhodimg.nbh. Reboot back into bootloader mode. This should then get you able to flash the device with all the proper stuff.
Make sure to get the one for YOUR original provider.
thanx i got it fixed. someone helped me on another forum with the same solution and it worked thanx for ur reply

Awesome. Glad everyone helped you get your phone back. Just be more careful next time. Cheers!
so all you did was SD card flash an original ROM from your carrier? just asking for future reference.
I flashed a new htc touch pro 2 verizon with hardspl, and it was fine - rebooted happily and was fully functional. Then I flashed it with a ROM, and it doesn't boot further than htc logo. I can load a menu with choices to go back to original settings, etc. but nothing can reverse a damage. I tried flashing it from sd card with whatever ROMs - it didn't help. From what I read as long as you use right spl, a phone is not a total brick, but it looks like it is. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
PS. In case you are wandering which ROM killed it: it was an unofficial russian version. I tested it on my t-mobile htc, and it was functional. Then I reversed back to energy rom. I bought htc verizon for my dad, but he asked me to flash it with a russian rom. It didn't go well as you see.

well i dont think it is considered a "brick" unless it wont boot, thats where the term brick or paper weight came from (because thats all it can be used for lol). so with it still starting up, i think there is still hope for you and your device. first off, did u SD flash it in the first place, or is that you attempt at fixing it? cause i think u just got a bad flash. so if you havent tried it, i would try and do it the original way. worth a shot
try finding someone who has a modified version of task29, basically that should take the "bad" rom off of it and only have the boot screen.. i think its an option needing looking into.. hopefully it will work for you.
are you sure its a cdma rom? or else ur phone wont go past boot...check the sticky for cdma roms
Hi guys,
My newly bought HTC Snap is now stuck at the first screen which says "smart mobility" after trying to flash the 3evo rom while thinking that my phone has been HardSPL-ed. Shoudl've known the check if the HardSPL Flashing went correctly :\ and made the mistake of trying to flash the rom with only jumpSPL and seeing if it would work, thinking i had the original rom to fall back on if it failed..
anyway so i got hold of the original rom its been shipped with and flashed it without any problems, but the phone still wouldnt go past the smart mobility page. i am however able to access the bootloader..
So what else can i do to get out of this mess
have you tryed ahttp://mobiletechvideos.com jig from ebay .if that does not work try mobiletechvideos on ebay
