Wont Boot

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
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
T-mobile US
http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
Search for the original rom for any other
instructions on how to use the original rom can be found here
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm23294.htm?&A2L.SERVICE=AboutUpgrading
Put it in the bootloader mode.. ( three color screens )
hope this helps..
cheers
Praneet

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

Help me please!!!

Tell me what Im doing wrong. I did the hard spl first and then I downloaded the rom I wanted to use. I extracted the rom and started it up and followed all the steps on the screen. It said that it successfully installed the rom and restarted my phone. Then it takes me to the screen where i have to align my screen so I did that and set up the device. then the home screen loads up and then its starts the customization process. When thats finish it restarts the phone again and then after the second splash screen it freezes and eventually my screen looks like the static on a television. Ive tried to go into bootlegger mode and reflash it and it does the same thing. Ive also tried to hard reset it when I get to the screen alignment screen because I read that in wiki and it still does the same thing. Im so lost what should I do. Thanks for your time and help.

If you CID unlocked it properly then reflash to the OEM rom and then try to reflash the ROM you want. Anybody disagree?
-McMex

It can also be aRADIO prblem that doesn't match with the ROM,
check this and try to replace the RADIO.
Ciao.

Agree. If the OEM Rom doesn't work either, i'm betting on the CID Unlock having failed.
And... you do have a Kaiser, don't you?
One more note: next time you open a thread, try to at least come up with a decent topic title..

Confirmed... It is a radio conflict, I had the same problem after flashing a wrong radio by mistake..

change radio. click my link below and go to the radios folder and pick one. the new ones only work w/ 6.1 roms though.

Have I bricked my Kaiser

Hi,
Was changing the ROM on my Kaiser, using JUMPspl as I had got the white screen using Hardspl. During the upgrade got an error at about 18%, went through the recovery procedure only to get back to the Bootloader screen with the screen saying
SPL-1.93.0000
I think it should say something different here!
At the moment can only get the the tri-colour bootloader screen with usb at the bottom.
Please any help would be much appreaciated.
Thanks

If you are at the tri-color bootloader screen, reflash a ROM.
that's where the process starts at anyhow,the bootscreen.

But doesn't the SPL have to be either Hardspl or jumpSPL.
I have tried to do the rom update again but sticks on 0% and gives error 262

Not advisable if he has the default SPL still though which by the number appearing at the tri col screen it appears to be the case.
Try doing a hard reset and see if it boots into the original ROM then at least you will find out if it is bricked or not, however, i'm not sure it will work based on the fact you got part way through in the first place.
Hold down the keys directly next to the Send and End (green and Red) Hold in the stylus and keep them all held untill you get a screen telling you to press the green (send) key.

Tried the hard reset, takes me back into the bootloader. Any other ideas?

Hmm... ok then.... you are pretty much looking at a very expensive paperweight at this moment in time then.
Look at this thread...it "may" (i'm not promising anything but it may point you in the right direction) help you out. Let us know how it goes.

Hate to joint the parade, but the exact same thing happened here - 18% now stuck at 1.93.0000

For anyone else reading this BEFORE flashing a new ROM please read, read and read again EVERYTHING related to flashing on this site, wikis and wherever else you can get info.

Another idea for you. Search around here for how to flash from an SD card that may solve the issue out for you. As previously noted though....READ READ READ and be 110% certain you understand what you are doing before you do anything.

details some info for a Wizard, should it be the same for a Kaiser?
Will Mtty get me any further?

MTTY will at least give you a USB connection to the device it is worth a shot given your current situation.

There is hope!
I did a clean reboot of my PC and disabled my antivirus (avast) and was able to sucessfully reflash the new 1.62 rom (released from ATT site today).

Thanks will try the new 1.62 rom.
What commands can you use with MTTY?

tried the At&t rom gives me an error on the vendor id. Will try a HTC rom

I have tried multiple roms and they all give me the same error Error 294:Invalid Vender ID
Any ideas
Am starting to get worried because if the misses finds out that I have bricked the new phone, I am up to my neck i it.

If you are stuck in boot loader & would like some help via MSN Messenger, please PM me or look for me on MSM messenger at [email protected]. I will be available to help later this evening or tomorrow morning.
I have most of the files to fix these issues & can use MSN fileshare folders to help you.
Good chance that you can be up again in a matter of minutes

Invalid Vendor I.D. is cuz it's locked.
Had the exact issue myself and found a ATT ROM that will boot. It saved me bigtime, so I saved it. It's in one of the posts on one of the threads but I have the actual ROM, it'll overide that lock.- PM me if ya need it.

Got the same solution, Holy S**t about to have a heart attack. Tried nearly ever ROM out there, it was the Asia one that got me going.
Lesson learned: make sure you Hardspl after jumpspl.
Thanks for all the help folks

Glad ya got it fixed. One quick question?
Is your original ROM ATT or HTC ?

It is a HTC ROM. Done My Hardspl and got Sleuth v3.0 on it already
Happy days

weird.... now stuck in bootloader

hey all, i turn my tilt off every night for a few hours and this morning on my way to work, all i got was the bootloader screen, thought something was wrong turned it off removed battery and after waiting 5 or 10 mins put the battery back in and everything worked fine. later on during the day i shut off my phone again and its back in bootloader again upon powering up this time i cannot exit. dont know what to do.

Take out your MicroSD card, then hard reset.

will not hard reset, tried about 20+ times

Bad flash.. For solving you need to search the forum, then reflash whit a good rom.

is it possiple that my version if hard spl is corrupted?

We wouldnt know, you never mention it. What does the bootloader say? What are the text on it?

flashed with a shipped rom still showing bootloader

Ok, keeping in mind my rookie status, this is what my phone says on the boot screen (after installing [June 02] L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V5 (Hybrid 3.29.707); could someone humor me and tell me if this is correct? Did I install the "screen freeze" fix correctly after flashing the above rom?

No, the SPL Line should read "SPL-3.28.Hard" or "SPL-3.29.Hard".
Go back to the new HardSPL thread and read the FAQ carefully, everything has been condensed and all of the info you need is there.

And what exactly happend?

all i can do is run the hard spl files and it wont change anything, windows mobile wont start so i cant jump spl or acces the phone, my sim and my micro sd are not in the phone

I need some help BAD! My Tilt lost sound and black screen after boot

I was trying to follow the many different ways to unlock, Hard SPL, and flash a new ROM but this is just way over my head. I think I may have screwed up my phone. I've been reading for 4 hours and I'm just throughly confused (this was so much easier on th Artemis!). I downloaded the jumpSPL1.56-KAS, ran it from the phone (not the storage card). Then I ran Kaiser-HardSPL-3.56 and that seemed to work fine. Then I tried to run step 1 of the KaiserUnlocker and now it will only show me the AT&T boot screen and nothing else after that. What did I do wrong?
I'm trying to unlock the phone so I can use it on T-Mobile USA and flash a new ROM. I've flashed ROMS before but I just never realized how involved this process was on other devices.
And yes, I can get to the boot loader screen.

Ick...this sounds like one of a couple of things...either you really screwed it up (btw, even "really screwed up" has been known to be fixable thanks to the super awesome folks here on XDA Devs) or it's a simple fix. My first suggestion would be to put it back into bootloader (just hold the usualy bootloader buttons and stick the stylus up in the Reset hole OR take the batter out and put it back in, your choice I think) and try rerunning everything EXCEPT the KasierUnlocker (btw, dont quote me but I would almost swear KaiserUnlocker needed a special radio flashed in order to properly work...you may wanna head back to that thread and check it out. I unlocked mine with it and I can about guarantee I had a special radio...) and see if it fixes anything OR find a compatible radio and reflash it (well, first off...get it into bootloader and tell us what the bootloader says on it)
Anyways, first things first would be to see what the bootloader is showing and then work from there. Sounds like a little bug so don't freak out too bad. If you think flashing these babies are hard then you really didnt try flashing G4 versions of the Wizard =P I totally bricked one because it was the pesky G4s and I didn't realize it at the time (complete newbness lol) So yeah, Kaiser's are a LOVELY change for me =] I've flashed mine countless times and loved it since the moment I got it! =D
But yeah, gimme info! =]

Did you use WM6.1 or WM6.0 to unlock the phone? Put in boot loader and flash orginal WM6.0 ROM as the other user suggested. You should be able to flash it if it is not a brick.

If it doesn't work you can use mtty to recover your phone, the needed information you'll find in the Kaiser Wiki.
Hope it helps

I just had this exact problem.
Use the EXE included in the tutorial to flash any windows 6.1 ROM from the bootloader via USB, and you will boot again.

I know. The crazy thing is that I've successfully flashed a G3 and a G4 Wizard and I still find this confusing.
When I go to the boot loader screen I have:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.Hard
CPLD-8
When I reset the device normally I get:
R 1.27.12.11
G 22.45.88.07H
D 1.62.00.00
I didn't try to flash any other ROMS to unlock it. I just went with the hard SPL and then tried the Unlock tool. The phone is stock.

Thanx for the replys. I reflashed the original ROM and now it's working again. This is what I have now:
When I go to the boot loader screen I have:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.Hard
CPLD-8
Now when I reset the device normally I get:

Protocal version is 22.45.88.07H

Can I go strait to a SIM unlocker and then flash a new ROM?

Well you've got HardSPL 3.56 flashed to it.
Why do you need to sim unlock it? Sim unlocking is not neccesary to flash one of the many Roms avaliable for the Kaiser/Tilt.
Once it's got HardSPL flashed, you're free to flash any type of rom onto it

A couple of things:
1) The Kaiser-Unlocker only works on 1.xx hardspl's, so you'll have to put one of those on first.
2) You do need to install the patched radio before you run it.
3) You'll need to flash a compatible radio afterward too, or else your device might not boot all the way.
4) Next time please post these questions in the thread for the unlocker you are using. It makes it much simpler for everyone.

But HardSPL 3.56 doesn't SIM unlock the phone from what I understand. I need to use it with T-Mobile SIM. So I need to chenge to a 1.XX Hard SPL to do this?
So I guess I went wrong with flashing 3.56 first and not 1.1
Then I need to patch the radio
Run the unlocker
rinstall the radio
Then flash the ROM
Problem I have now is that I can't seem to go back down to a lower SPL version.

You need to read the instructions carefully, and ask questions in that thread. All the experts in unlocking will be there to help you.
