818Pro dead after upgrade wrong ROM

Dear All pleae help me, I upgrade the ROM for my friend 818Pro, after upgarde the Display cannot on, the charge light(Orange) and bluetooth light(blue) just flashing. What shold I can do, Please help. Thanks

alright i think i have exactly the same problem here seems like i finally bricked it.
i installed a vodafone compact s update for a wizard over a no vendor id update utility.
no when i turn it on it turns off after 1-2 seconds i can go into bootloader but it turns of after 1-2 seconds hard reset and soft reset stuff i did already hard reset is not working.
are there any other opportunities of working around that...? i guess not flashing with a turned of phone is bad^^
mh sd gold card probably? im trying that out^^
mh my ipl is on 2.21 and spl too
i got it to work so i'm in bootloader but only if its connected to the charger so i could probably flash over the sd card right?
usually ipl was on 2.15 and spl 2.21 maybe that helps...

mda bricked(???) while trying to upgrade

so yea, iono what happened to my mda. i cant seem to turn it on. when i press the reset and camera buttons, it worked before and brought me into bootloader. and that was actually all i could do. now, i cant even get it on, iono whats happened to it. im trying and atempting rigorously to charge it so i can try to fix it. but the charge light dusnt even come on... i dont know what happend. please help me analyzed. i really want to fix this back ._.''

You may need to use the factory charger to charge your device. I keep hearing the problem people experience when trying to charge a completely dead battery with a usb charger. the factory charger is 1amp while usb is half that. that may be why it wouldnt charge.
also, when the phone is in bootloader (tricollor bars) the power does not turn off.
you may need to charge your device completely before turning it on; then flash the original rom to it.
anothor thing about flashing while in bootloader:
If you connect the usb and XP does not recognize it, you have to unplug it, reset the device, then connect the usb again. as soon as you hear the found hardware noise, open the rom upgrade utility. flash. should work.
when posting a question such as this, it helps to provide as much information about the device and the circumstances under which it failed. this being an electronic forum, it is difficult to play detective to find out what you did wrong to mess up the machene.
also remember that it is a machene. it can not ousmart you, but you can outsmart it.

Which is your device,what were you doing when this happened,were you trying to flash a rom ?

bricked Cing. 8125
my device just bricked on my while updating also. not sure why, i use a Cingular 8125. i flashed it to the t-mobile 1.2 rom (like i always do) and then tried flashing it to a new rom and about halfway through it bricked up. now activesync wont even recognize it. how can i fix this?

Bricked up is an over used word on these forums. If it does nothing no lights no charge when you put a fully charged battery in it, then its a brick.
Anyway here is me repeating myself yet again. A Wizard WONT CHARGE A BATTERY without windows mobile running. So charge the battery in another wizard or orbit or buy an external desktop charger /cradle with a spare battery slot or a new battery because it wont charge it

Not really...
Wizard can charge without powered on (when not bricked). It just can't charge if the battery is too flat.

It will charge a completely "flat" or dead battery with the original factory charger. the one that has the output of 1amp, not the usb, which is .5amp

so yea, sorry about this confusing post. sop what i was trying to do was changing my wizard love rom to XM6r5...but i dont know how
what i did was use shelltool and pooped it. but now iono how to really fix it. im still confused now cuz i cant boot up at all. i can get into the bootloader r/g/b screen
but iono how to fix it from there

sound to me like you may not have unlocked your device?
maybe.
try this: reset your phone with the reset button;
put it in bootloader (tricolorscreen) reset holding the camera button while untill it is in bootloader;
plug in the usb;
run the update utility.
as it updates, it will seem to freeze at 100%. do not unplug it.
I recomend you flash the love rom first.

but it says it cant even connect when i pplug my usb to the pc and device
th pc dun really "see" it
and the ruu, dont you need active sync on as well or sumthin? nothin shows up

try reseting it. then put it into bootloader; then plug it in; then run the flasher.
if you unplug it while it is in bootloader, then plug it in again it will not read.
exit everything (meaning flashing utility unplug usb; reset phone)
then try it again.

just a side note, dus it matter which ruu im using to do this? or should i use the wizard love first?
okayt so i have tried it, but curiously, how do i know if its actually working when i do that? cuz everytime im in bootloader and open ruu, it goes at first, but the status dusnt move past 0% and then an error message comes up. does it matter ifi supposedly have other programs open in the b/g?

I think it matters which ruu you are using depending on if you have a G4 or G3.
If you have a g4 then use the ruu for a g4.
the guy who designed the wizard service tool would know.
I would flash to the factory rom though to fix any issues first.
what is your IPL SPL? G3 or G4?
well, at least we know that your phone is not bricked. It will get fixed under the right circumstances.
It could be that your battery is not charged all the way.
remove the battery, then put it back in. charge it fully (overnight) and try to flash it to the factory rom.

well i upgraded my rom to wizard love previously, so apparently its a g4 now. i want to upgrade to the XM6r5 ruu but im not too sure.
maybe u could help locate me a few stable and nice roms for g4?
but thanks so far

when i run the RUU, i keep getting an errormessage 260, saying it cant connect my phone to the pc.,..

have you gotten it unbricked yet?
need more infoon your phone and it's current state.
everytime you post a message (it seems) you do not give enough information.
ipl spl current rom ...
I dont know any of these things. untill I do, I can't help you.
If you search the G4 forum you will find information on flashing your phone if it is a G4. (you may need to soft spl or hard spl your phone) look to the G4 forum for information for that.
just because it had the love rom does not mean that it is a g4. all roms that have OS ONLY can be flashed to a G4. If it has SPL/IPL (bootloader) Or extended roms can not be flashed to a G4

oh. haha sorry. now it just boots straight into the bootloader with "ruu" on the upper right hand corner.
ipl is 2.26.0001
spl is 2.26.0001

Its a G4,you can only upgrade through either SoftSPL or HardSPL,read about this in the G4 sub-forum posted as stickies.

but how would i use hardSPL thru only bootloadeR?
update: everytime i restart my phone, it keeps booting up into the bootloader screen with "RU" on the upper right of the screen

ok,download official carrier's rom, get into Bootloaders,hook up the phone with pc via usb,Now Check,if small usb appears at the bottom of the Bootloader screen,if its there than Run the Ruu in the rom to flash it,but if it doesn't appear,its not establishing connection with pc and phone.There might be a connectivity problem,it cud be usb cable,mini usb port of the phone or usb input of pc.
Yes! you can only do HardSPL if its working normal,you can even try to flash wizard_love rom and if it flashes,then go for HardSPL.but official carrier's rom will be more appropriate and recommended,it will also remove any Extended_Rom corruption,if any.

Please Help! TYTN II from WM6.0 To WM6.1

I have read through endless posts and stickies.. I still can't figure out what the correct procedure is for updating my TYTN II from WM6.0 to WM6.1
I would greatly appreciate it, if someone would lay it out step my step
I tried to flash with the WM6.1 update, it said there was a vender error.
I tried flashing with HardSPL 3.28 and it stops at 0% and says there is there is a communication error, and to click next to perform the recovery. I perform the recovery, after removing the battery and putting it back in, the phone starts up normal.
I tried the white screen solution.. it reaches the three coloured display with USB and just sits there.. i eventually reboot the phone.. and it starts back up normally..
but none of the flashing procedures have worked yet..
I used the files found Here for the white screen problem.
I don't know what else to try..
Direct update - Invalid Vendor ID
HardSPL 3.28 - Communication Error
JumpSPL - Does nothing...

Interpreation and sense of what you are reading.

http://hpcmonex.net/olipro/KaiserUnlocker.zip
That is the link to the Kaiser Unlocker by Olipro. It Hard-SPL's and SIM Unlocks. If you do not need the sim unlock simply flash to a different ROM after the first step.

Thanks socalkevin21 for providing a usable response

Not a problem, let me know if you have any issues.

The software says to unplug the USB connection as soon as the screen turns to the three coloured screen.
when i plug back in, the progress bar waits a couple seconds then jumps directly to 100%.. is that correct?
The phone reboots, and starts back up as normal.. but the same version ROM is still there..

enter bootloader (press and hold the camera button all the way while pushing the stylus into the reset hole)
you should now be at a tri-color screen
what does this screen say?

KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
when I click on Unlock Radio, it says "incompatible device"
Is that also normal?
Do i need to patch the radio as well?

wooooo!!! got it! i eventually got it to update the radio by clicking the button over and over..
I didn't get to unlock the phone (step 3).. but after i tried to update to windows mobile 6.1.. and it worked!
Thanks socalkevin21 and mbarvian!!

Well my device runs a lot faster.. but also sticks a helluva lot more!
Also my camera doesn't show anything, it takes pictures fine.. but there is no live display.. anyone having that problem?
And i also lost Voice Commander.. anyone have the install files for that?
**Fixed the camera problem. I had installed the HTC camera patch... Problem solved after removing it.**

Try a new HardSPL.
WM6.1 freezes sometimes with the OliPof 1.0 Hard SPL.
All the latest Hard SPL's are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
There are no other differences between 1 and 3.* other than the version number - they both work the same (oh and no MFG in 3.*, but you won't notice that)

Error 260 Update Error

Hi
I get this problem too often and I dont know why and what I did do when I dont get it. This is the case.
Now I have flashed the g3 wizard with one of the wm6-manilla roms. I have succeded with this once so I have followed the guides with the unlocking and downgrading etc. Now I have downloaded a new cook and try to install it by starting the rom update utility wizard.
Problem is that the installation ALWAYS fails now. It starts, the device disconnects from activesynk, waits another 30 seconds then fails to restart the device so I get the dreadful Error 260 update error and the phone is dead. I remove the battery, restart the device and try again and my hair turns grey.
I figure I need to downgrade first so I try all the differens RUU's that are pointed out in the guides (CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe, ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship.exe, Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe) but always the same problem.
What am I missing?
WinXP
AS4.5
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26

Once downgraded and CID unlocked,a G3 device will remain CID unlocked forever,there's no need to downgrade everytime you flash a new rom.Just simply flash a new rom whenever you desire.So don't reflash Button's Rom 1.05 before every flash,its just required to flash once to get IPL/SPL 1.xx for CID unlocking,after which there's no need to reflash it again.
Error 260 is due to open port,so reboot your pc and Soft Reset the phone,hope it'll work fine.If you have reflashed Button's Rom 1.05 and downgraded,it wud be better if you perform the CID unlocking procedure again through lokiwiz02b or WST_4.2.2,after that upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx by either flashing T_mobile 2.26 or any official aku 2 rom,then upgrade to any wm6.1 rom.
You can even take out the battery and leave it for 30 minutes,after that put it back and try to flash.

Hmm.. now I have rebooted the pc and disconnected the battery for 30 mins. No luck. Still the same error.
There must be something I have missed. I have flashed with several roms before w/o any trouble.
I am connected to activesync as a guest on usb-cable.
Oh i didnt downgrade because it failed that too. So right now im on a wm6 manilla pretty good rom but the wifi's gone

Try flashing from bootloader:
* Hold down the camera button and then softrest without letting go of the camera button.
You should se a pretty tri color screen with IPL/SPL Information.
* Connect Wizard to PC using usb and wait for windows to detect the drivers if they are not already installed.
* Start your RUU and follow the steps.
Normally this error occurs when trying to flash under vista, if this is the case visit a friend who has XP and take some coffee

It gets worse im afraid.. and I am under XP.
Now the phone wont pass the t-mobile bootscreen. It gets stuck when showing the IPL/SPL information.
I fail to enter the bootloader. Hopefully im doing something wrong.
I have tried this:
1) Holding down cam-button and pressing soft-reset. The phone boots as normal but stucks at same place.
2) soft-reset and when sceen goes black, hold cambutton. Doing this makes the boot halt totaly and the screen remains black. Looks like it turns off cause the softreset wont work and I have to press the powerbutton to get life signs again.
How (exactly) do I get it into bootloader?

Evolution... i managed to do a hard-reset and got the phone to boot up again. So back to square one with not being able to use the ubs+ruu
hmm very strange.. in a desperate attemt to get into bootmode i held down the voice-button instead of the cam-button and then power-on. Not it worked! Mystic....
***
update! problem solved
In case anyone else reads this. I rebooted the pc for the 10th time, rebooted the phone at the same time and (a dramatic paus here) i pulled the usb-cable and placed it in another slot in the pc. And there it goes...
I dont work with computers... i work against them!

[Problem] Flashing HardSpl trough MicroSD fail (pls help)

I had a StockSpl on my Htc touch pro and I wanted to flash an unsigned Hard-SPL from my MicroSD because I wasn't home and I didn't have the USB cable. After the screen loaded 100% the device restarted I took off the MicroSD and now it keep showing this tri-color screen:
RUUNBH
RAPH100
SPL-1.90.000
MicroP-Raph (LED) v13
MicroP-Raph (KEY) v5
PSOC-Raph STAGE_CVT v0x36
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
Serial.
(I've also attached a picture)
If i try to flash again from MicroSD the same HSPL it loads until 100% then restart and start to load again until i get the MicroSD card off. Or if i try to flash other StackSPL or any other ROM it stays on Loading on a grey screen.
After I went home I tried to flash the HSPL again from my computer using the USB cable, it start to load 0% then it does nothing. I've tried to flash StockSpl and other ROMs from the computer too but it does the same.
I think i've tried anything but nothing seems to work ... if someone can help me pls ... i've searched the entire forum and there's someone that had almost the same problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566796
but noone had any solutions.

You can't flash hard spl off your sd card; it's got to be done through a usb cable.
Just read through the hard spl thread; it's long, but your situation has probably been addressed. I did it almost 3 years ago, so I don't remember the tricks. That's the case with most posters, I'm afraid. Just read the thread.

can u pls tell me which thread?
this one?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
or this one?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008

Either, but read the first one. You can also look in the unlocker thread. Hell, you may just want to buy the unlocker and run that. It will flash hard spl, and the directions may be better.

I just hope they aren't trying to HSPL(hard SPL) a CDMA device :S I've made the mistake to assume the person that was posting in this forum had a GSM device and they really screwed up after a third attempt at flashing HSPL!
Usually if I have a difficult time flashing my Fuze or TP(both GSM), I remove everything to include the battery, connect the USB to an available USB port on the computer then hold the volume down key while connecting the device to the USB cable. Probably not the most friendly way but it certainly will tell you if there is a problem with your USB port/cable or even device!

My htc raphael is GSM
I've tried to hold the volume down button but it's always the same
There's no problem with the cable just that I can't flash anything because I'm stuck with a stock-spl and I can't flash a hard-spl either. When I try to flash something from the computer it starts to flashing with 0% then nothing happends until the RUU gives me the 262 Error. And when i try to flash from my mSD it just stuck with a Loading screen.

Naughty Naughty..
I guess you realise now that you should ALWAYS read read read before modifying your phone in any way.
What EXACT file did you originally flash to your phone via microsd card and where did you get it from?
If you go into the bootloader screen and then connect the usb cable does it show "usb" at the bottom of the screen?
PLEASE STOP TRYING TO FLASH HARDSPL FROM MICROSD AS YOU CANT DO IT. If you could then it would be in my guide..

Thanks for replying
Yes ... I did read the part with the SD flashing but i thought it's not a bit deal to flash from mSD since the flashing via activesync is so easy.
Well ... i extracted the RUU_Signed.nbh from the Hard-SPL found HERE and i copied it to the mSD (MicroSD) and renamed it RAPHIMG.nbh.
I restarted my phone holding the volume down button and it started to load until 100% then it restarted and showed the bootloader screen and after a couple of seconds start to flash the HSPL again so after it completed 2 or 3 times of flashing and restarted i took the battery and the mSD off (I DIDN'T TOOK THE BATTERY WHILE IT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FLASHING). And when i started the phone again without mSD it showed the bootloader screen like it was waiting to get a .nbh file on mSD to start flashing again.
No matter what i do my phone start in bootloader and down it shows "Serial". If i connect the usb it shows "USB".
I tryed to do a hard reset and it seem to work but after it finish and the phone restarts is stuck with the same tri-colour screen.
Sry for trouble and thx again

I guess I missed the part in the OP where you said it was stuck in bootloader. That's not good. I would try flashing the stock raphael rom (assuming you have it). Have you tried that? I dunno, you may be stuck for good.

As Farmer Ted said your best bet now is to download your ORIGINAL Rom (from your provider) and flash it from your pc with the usb cable attached. The phone had to be in SSPL mode before running the RUU which is why everything was packed in a single exe. You may have corrupted your SPL in which case you have bricked your phone but if you can manage to flash a Stock Rom then the Stock SPL should be reflashed and you can start again with the HardSPL by following the CORRECT instructions and not making up your own lol.
Good luck.
Mark.

When i bought my phone, the first thing i did was to dump the rom. So now i rebuild it from raw and tried to flash but it didn't work so i went to Orange site and i downloaded the official ROM then started to flash and ... IT WORKS
I think that the ROM was corrupted not the SPL, and since the SPL was stock it didn't allow me to flash other ROMs other then the official
Thanks for all guys I couldn't done this without your help
P.S: why did it allowed me to flash the official rom but the hspl not?

It didn't flash the hard spl because you did it all wrong; those rebuilt roms aren't exactly the same as the stock roms, so it's not surprising that wouldn't flash. Good job finding the original shipped one, though.
Now, just read mskip's instructions and you should be good to go. I think the trick is just to enter bootloader, then connect to your pc through the usb cable.
