Used awizard to revert back the OS from ver2 to ver1. It has unexpected error during the "w" option and the device is hung for a long time. Did a soft reset, and after that it only shows upto i-mate booting screen and sits there. No activesync is detected now of course and is there anything to recover this. Please...
Press Camera+softreset, you will enter bootloader, try to get you original ROM and flash. Hope this can help you!!! BR
This will work. I had the same thing with my 8125 once. Get it to the bootloader screen (Camera+SoftReset) and connect via USB to your PC. Run your RUU and it will work.
I had a bad experience with aWizard and figured I was not educated enough and decided to not mess with anything but an RUU for now. Even still I don't mess with ROMs anymore. Not worth the risk/headache.
Let us know if you recovered.
I'm having difficulty flashing the rom (There may be an issue with the phone, not sure yet). The phone was at 99% and the upgrade died, I'm stuck at the 3 color red/green/blue with the USB connection. I think there is a way to fix this, but I forget. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Turn the phone off (pull the battery if you have to) and unplug the USB cable. Then turn it back on so its back at the bootloader screen (rainbow color bars screen you saw). Now plug in the USB cable. ActiveSync will NOT connect, but thats fine. You will see USB above the left soft key. Now flash an offical rom (either the Cingular 2.25 found on the HTC website, or T-Mobile 2.26).

Once you get back on an official rom, then you can reinstall whatever custom rom you want (but you need to get back to an official one first at this point).

OK then...
Plug it into the usb, and when the bootloader appears, start flashing whatever rom you like...
Easy, right ?
hmm, it died again at 99% on the upgrade. I can do the official install w/no problem. Maybe I need to go back through the cid unlocker?

Please forgive me for stating the obvious but you do know that it is normal to stall at 99% for a few minutes sometimes longer.... What do you mean by "Died at 99%"?
To be honest. You didn't said anything but typical wrong flash case...RUU from custom ROMs to another custom ROM(or having CIDlock probs) is good method for having 3bars relax time.
it's question of the day: what do You mean by "died @ 99%". when i am flashing anything, stalls up to 5 minutes @ ANY percent arent reason to PLUG CABLE OFF,or ANY manipulation on pc, or ppc. if it just stuck forever, its time to turn back to old ROM image, or just any rescue ROM, SO:
revert to old rom with ruu, then install 2 cabs from shelltool, wait 30 secs, reset, turn radio off, plug usb on, and after adding nk.nbf into shelltools directory, and spectacular launching earlier mentioned shelltool, and rtfm od its docs, you may start to do what you've just read.
while flashing DO NOT DO ANYTHING with machines.
After finished operation you will see end so it IS END.
Hard reset.
100% positive flashes, if net is turned off, firewall killed and antivirus turned off. also, remove sd card before flash.
btw, what's your IPL/SPL...
Sorry, I should of been more descriptive. The rom update gets to 99%, then hangs for awhile, then the update application on my computer says that there was a communications error and goes into a recovery instructions. The phone itself stays at 99% until I unplug the battery.
I'll try doing the revert back to old rom in the morning, it's a secondary phone and I left it at work.
I had this problem as well...
I ended up just flashing a stock rom multiple times until it finally took.
I think I had to do it at least 2, if not 3 times before I was finally able to boot the phone.

So, you are experiencing this when trying to flash a stock rom.
Check if the RUU is not corupted. If you downloaded it now, it may also cause this.
Also...restart your PC and don't run anything in the bacground while flashing. Just to make sure.

Also make sure you remove the SD card in your phone if you have one. I've seen flashes fail when SD cards are installed.
Ok, I reloaded the rom. I can't figure out the button rom, there is a screen with a bunch of ???? that come up and none of the buttons do anything. :\ I loaded the wizard love one, which loaded ok. I tried the crossbow reloaded but it hung at 99% again and the application went back into error recovery mode. Maybe I'm just not meant to have it! lol. I don't have the sim or sd card installed atm.
Oh ya, this is probably the most responsive/helpful forum I think I have ever seen.
..removed..
I've tried on a clean machine and still same thing. What happens at 99%? Could the phone itself have issues?

All the roms will hang at some point towards the end of the flash (official ones tend to hang around 85% or so. The cooked ones hang closer to 99%). This is the point where the final part of the flashing is occuring and I think there is verification that what was written checks out as being valid.
If you can get a rom on and the phone working, and then do a hardreset and that works, then I would say you do not have a hardware issue with your phone (at least not from the flashing side).
BTW: Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 is out now. Please try downloading it and flashing that one (just to see if it makes a difference for you). It is very odd that multiple roms stop at 99% on your like this (hard to say its a bad download).
Sorry, I haven't reread this entire thread, but have you tried this from a different computer? ALso try to turn off any firewall, VPN, or even antivirus software on your computer while you flash to see if that corrects the issue. I think I remember someone trying to go into Safemode one time to do a flash.
Then there is also stand on your head or wave a dead chicken over your head while the flash is happening.... (yeah, I'm grasping at straws on this one )
Lol, thanks. I downloaded the 1.5 and going to give that a wing.
People... pleas read throught the forums!!!
Its so annoying that people asks the same question again and again and again. Dont be so lazy, do your research, search the forum and dont post ST$#"D questions!!!
Gah, error 302 every time. I loaded buttons ROM, unlocked again, tried reloading rom, then BOOM 302! Maybe WM6 isn't meant for this phone.. lol I can load any WM5 or lower and have zero issues.
Hi, help please...
I have Wizard G3 with TNT 5 Touch Flow and tried to update radio T-mobile UK 2.19 Radio Only. update went OK but now on loading I see HTC boot screen then it moves to TNT 5.0 screen and then fades in two minutes and starts back with HTC boot screen. It then circulates like that for ever without passing to the Today screen. On connection with PC for new update with any rom it shows: Error (260) update error. What can be done?

it's a case of bad flash,did anything during flash happened like lose usb connectivity,pc crashed,battery discharged or something like unusual ?
Try to soft reset and see if it works,otherwise you'll have to reflash to official carrier's rom in boodloader mode,
1. Disconnect your phone from the usb cable,shut down any firewall,disable any Anti virus,Reboot your PC.
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. On your PC Open windows Task Manager...>Tab Processes...>wescomm.exe...>End process
4. Power off the phone completely (Not stand-by,shut off completely),or you may take the battery out for few seconds
5. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC via USB cable and remove the dummy Sdcard or mini-Sd card
6. Get your phone into Bootloader mode (Multicolor screen) by pressing camera button + Power on button
7. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Be sure that your battery is charged over 70%)
8. "USB"will appear on the bottom of the screen of the Bootloader (Multicolor screen)
9. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
10.Never use Bluetooth sync for the Upgrade
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.Please be patient when you're flashing your device, even if 98%. It can wait a little bit, 5 ~ 7 minutes.
Don't cancell the flash or get the phone off the usb cable till it confirms "Congratulations" or stops with an Error!!!
Hope it'll work, Good luck
Hi, this is the first time i saw a Paki guy on this web. I know there is alot of talent in IT profession in Pakistan. Anyway its good to see u here and i got a relief that with the help of a senior member like you i can get my phone work again.
To cut the chase, I have X01HT by Softbank Japan. It is Herms200 by HTC Japanese WM5 ROM. I have installed Asukal's English MUI and it was working fine for me. Now i'm planning to visit Pakistan this month so i though to unlock the sim and i used Prof v3a to unlock. I've successfully unlocked the sim and i guess CID also. When i use some other carrier's sim, i can receive the calls but cant make the calls out coz Softbank rom has a security which comes at screen and ask for password and dont let me do anything on the PDA. After studying alot on this forum i figured that i need to change the rom to get rid of that password message. i used the Olipro's Hard SPL and got bootloader 2.10 Olipro. I checked the other necessary stuff and when satisfied i started rom update. I end up with the same message of Error 260. Now my phone has no OS and it starts at bootloader. i tried everything possible like i make sure to remove all firewalls on my PC, used all the versions of Activesync and everything possible that i could. I trust that there is nothing wrong with the ROM etc but it is with connection.
Now if i update to the original ROM, i'm afraid that it will also upgrade my Bootloader and could never be able to flash english rom. I'm really depressed for the last three days and loosing sleep as well. I trust that you or any other senior member can help me with this.
Thanks in advance and looking forward anxiously.
Farrukh, wrong forum.
You know you have a Hermes, then you should know to post your questions in Hermes related forum, not wizard.
denflorida:
Try to update other Radio-only ROMs in xda's FTP server.
Sorry Brother, i know i have herms but i couldn't find some related topic in herms and i figured that Activesync problem is the same in all devices.
Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply. I'll try to find some from Herms.
Thanks
8125 rom update
i have tried to do a rom update on my 8125 g4. i recently purchased it off ebay and i have two problems. the reason i want to update it is because when i try to enable the wifi my device freezes. the other problem is that i can not seem to get the phone into boot loader mode. i have tried :
-turning the phone off and holding the camera button as i turn it on.
-holding the camera button and pluging it in to a usb port.
- using wizard service tool to enter boot loader mode.
after each of these different attempts i had to either remove the battery for 3 secs or hold the reset button for a few seconds before i can turn it back on. the phone still turns and just i can not use the wifi
Yes!!! Thank you! your instructions worked for me and got me past the Error [260] with my 8125 .

**MY PHONE IS NOW WORKING***
Hey guys,
I am going to start by saying that I have read almost every single sticky, thread, wiki and anything else I could get my grubby hands on to try and solve my problem; but I fear I may have missed something, or done it wrong.
Now to my problem. My friend who had the same phone as me did a HardSPL flash a long time ago and gave me some new ROM. It worked for awhile but wasn't great so we changed to a different ROM. After awhile I got sick of this one and all of its bugs so about 3 days ago we got some with windows 6.5; unfortunately something happened; causing it to be highly unstable, so we switched AGAIN.
Now to my problem. It will not boot. If I just let it boot without doing anything *or if I hit keys* it goes to an hTc TyTn2 screen with the R; G; and D displayed. I tried to flash it via Micro sd card but all I get is a white screen with blue "loading..." and nothing; it will sit there indefinitely. I have been following cmonex's instructions to a "T" and I am stuck. I attempted to do the USB route and the phone will display the tri-colors and say USB, but my computer *Vista* isn't seeing the phone. I tried different USB ports etc. and nothing. Please let me know what you guys think; anything would be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend down-grading to xp. But if you can't try to explore the drive as a removable driver
Are you sure when you flashed it via MicroSD you had only one file named KAISIMG.nbh on the card?
This happened to me about a month ago, if it's still going to bootloader there is a good chance you can recover but the process is a bit intricate, especially to a newcomer like myself. I spent more time reading on how to fix this issue than I did on the entire process of flashing roms, mtty specifically. These are the threads I used to get running again, don't lose hope. I assure you the your answer is there.

I am sure. I even reformatted the sd card to a FAT32. It goes to a loading screen then freezes. I can also get it into the tri-color screen and have it say USB at the bottom, but when I try and flash it via USB; for some reason it starts at 0% and then crashes.
I am able to work with it in MTTY and I had to use a Task 8 command for anything to happen. I was told my friend already did a HARDSPL; is it possible that this was deleted/ corrupted?
Put your phone in bootloader mode what does it say?
Have you tried a Hard Reset yet?

hey everyone, My phone is temporarily working at this point!!!
My new question is, how do I know if my friend really put a HardSPL on my cell the first time. I know that one way to tell was through MTTY and boot command, but my cell didn't respond to that. My friend said he put a HardSPL on; would doing it again hurt anything?

Put your phone in bootloader mode and if it says "hard" next to "SPL:" it's got a hrd SPL version.

I am trying to flash a HardSPL to my phone; the computer see's the device but will not allow me to copy any files to it. When I go though the sync center, it begins to connect then says error. What should I do?

Try copying them via the SD card using a card reader if you have one.

tryd that, all it does is say loading and pretty much stays there indefinately.
Right, lets take a step back...
You don't have Hard SPL at the moment?
If not, the best guide for flashing Hard SPL is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835

I get stuck at the very first step were you are supposed to copy the 3 different JumpSPL files. I even tried copying a word document and it said "the file Reference could not be copied. It may not exist or cannot be transferred."
My computer can access the phone, but I cannot transfer anything to its memory. I also tryed copying it to the sd card while it is in the phone and it gives me the same error. Active sync whont work either, just keeps saying error.

Try deleting and re-creating the partnership... Do you have Office installed, this might stop if working.
Do you have a Card Reader, put the card in there and put the files on the card that way.
Failing that MyMoblier let's you copy files, I think it works differently to AS.
Dave
i have deleted the partnership and created a new one, and it doesnt work. As for mymobiler; the website will not load for me on either my desktop or laptop.
one thing i just tryed which was interesting was to load the 3 JumpSPL files onto the sdCard and then copy them to the phone's main memory. It wouldnt allow me to do this. How do I remove the read/write protection on the phone?

did you ask this question in those threads? i just searched all your posts and im not seeing where you asked in those threads before you started a new thread.
didn't see where you tried to flash stock rom either, i recommend trying to flash it, and flash stock before you flash any cooked roms.
i never said I did any of the flashing. my friend did it all, and he claims to have done the hardspl. he then loaded new ROM onto the phone. Since he is no longer around, and everything has gone hay-wire, I am trying to fix it.
Here is my new situation; I can get the phone to fully load into the rom, but it does not have the HardSPL installed. The computer will recognize that the phone is plugged in, but active sync will not connect; just says error. If i go through "my computer" and try and copy files that way it says: "the file Reference could not be copied. It may not exist or cannot be transferred." I have tried to just re-flash it *because i really need it up and running* and the programs just say they cannot. I even used CID unlocker and it says it failed. I just don't know where to go from here.
Try doing a Hard Reset and see if your symptoms change. NOTE: Remove the SD Card.
Hi, i must be the dumbest person in here. I just bricked my used sprint touch pro 2. Well it all started when i did not get any sleep, and did not paying attention. My phone was fully unlocked. So i decided i could not wait to flash my phone. So i started to flash the phone, but after it was done i realized i only flashed the BLEEPING SPLASH SCREEN !!!!!!!!
So when i tried to turn the phone on, it loads to the splash screen only.
So i tried to connect it to my computer, but nothing. So i tried to hard reset, it goes to bootloader screen, then only to Touch pro 2 screen. Is there anything that i could do beside Cry, lol. HELP PLEASE.
Can you enter bootloader on your touch pro2?
If so, then its good news and its not bricked Download an official rom from HTC website (or here from the touch pro 2 forum), connect it to your computer whilst in bootloader (multi coloured screen) - make sure is says usb and not serial on ur devices screen and double click your downloaded rom.
It should flash succesfully and you will have your device back up and running in under 10 minutes.
Good luck.
Maybe i should elaborate more. when i said, when i connect it to the computer nothing. I meant nothing happens. Meaning it does not connect, or recognize the Usb, or computer. Help, THX
Ok, you know how to get ur device into bootloader right? what does it say on the screen (dont bother connecting it to your computer).
It jumps right from bootloader mode to the screen that ask me if i want reset all setting to manufacturer default, or cancel page.
soft reset = hold the power button and the volume button down and softreset
I think you are trying to to a hard reset
If you can stay in bootloader, it is possible to flash official stock rom from your sd card. It isnt too difficult to do so let me know and ill tell you how to do it, but have a look on the touch pro 2 forum, you will find how to do it there
Okay, i did a soft reset. And it is staying at the boot loader screen. So it is possible to fix this sprint phone?
Okay, i think i have an idea what you want me to do. You want me to put the phone in boot loader mode, then down load a .nbh file onto the root of the SD card. And while in boot loader mode it should flash the stock rom.
Is that correct?
Yes exactly that
Make sure you extract the nbh file from the stock rom using winzip or another utility. You must then rename it to something like xxxxx.nbh (you will need to get this from the tp2 forum or when i have time ill find it for u). COpy it to the root as you say, enter bootloader etc etc.
You will find how to do this in the tp2 forum.
Good luck.
Once you get into the bootloader (the tri-coloured screen) it should say "Serial" at the bottom. Then plug the USB cable in from your PC, and that should change to "USB".
If it does say "USB", then you should be able to go ahead and flash a ROM from the PC (no need to do it via SD unless you really want to). You don't need an ActiveSync connection.
Omg. I love you guys. You guys are the best in the whole amm world. I will be donating shortly. Thank you so much. It worked perfectly in boot loader mode to connect it to the usb. Than i was able to download the stock rom.
Now should i hard reset it or just leave it alone. Thanks a million.
Hey, good news.
I guess when you said before that it didn't say usb whilst in bootloader was because you weren't actually in bootloader no matter.
Glad you got it back up and running without having to flash via sd
If you flashed an official stock rom, don't bother hard resetting, no point, if you flashed a custom or cooked rom then normally advisable to HR after a flash but this does depend on the rom.
Cheers.
