Big problem - Can't acces bootloader anymore

Hi,
I update my Prophet to RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
But I was not happy because the camera didn't work, I try to go back to
RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
But it retruns errors after 95% of the update that my nbf files is not correct,
then I install AKU2.3.1_LvsW_Edition_2006-11-28
But after the flash finish my prophet just show we the bootloader... I unplugged the battery and now my device don't starts, sometimes if I connect it to the USB port of my laptop after few minutes, the bootloader appears but it just stay 10 or 30 seconds and then disappear again. I can't flash anymore.
Anyone has similar issue? Otherwise I will have to send it back to factory.
I already try hard reset, and bootloader access (camera + reset)
Thank you

Otherwise I will have to send it back to factory.

Can you do that without losing anything? if yes... id go for it ASAP

I am sorry, I don't understand waht you mean?
One more information, when plugin my prophet to USB, the LED doesn't comes orange. I would really suggest that some hardware part is defect but I flash my device several times and I never had such problem.
Thanks to anyone.

maybe,... if you are lucky this solution for another problem helps you:

thank you ! I could flash my prophet again!!!

Help with Error 260 on Wizard update

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 .

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.

HTC TILT 8925 Phone wont boot anymore

Hey guys, I tried unlocking my phone but I think I ruined everything LOL.
Basically now, the phone only boots to the AT&T screen and restarts, over and over. Only turns on if connected to USB.
I followed the Kaiser Sim unlocker instructions all the way till like the 8th step and this happened. I installed the HARDSPL OLIPROF, it shows it on the tri color screen.
I can still bring it to the tri color screen, but when I connect it to computer it doesn’t show the active sync green screen (stays gray). I ran the sim unlocker again, it went to 100% complete, but phone still doesn’t turn on.
When I try to do a hard reset it stays click send, when I click send, nothing happens. I don’t know what to do. Did I permanently ruin the phone? I’ve searched Google for the past 3-4 days still can’t find an answer so I decided to post here for some help. Anything will be helpful thank you.

Your phone is fine. This part of the FAQ applies, I believe:
"*Put your phone into Bootloader and update to a 6.1 Rom first if you get a black screen after Flashing the Patched Radio*"
I had the same problem. Flash a generic 6.1 ROM such as _ATT Tilt_RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship, then repeat the unlocking procedure. Instead of a blank screen, you'll see the correct prompts on your phone to complete the unlock.

thx 4 the info. i was gettin ready to try to unlock my tilt.

I downloaded that rom. It completed. The phone is still in the same condition. Wont even turn on unless its pluged to usb and when its plugged in usb it wont pass the AT&T screen(restarts over and over). Did i install an incorrect rom?

Also, theres no sim card or sd card in it. Does that matter for now?

Sorry for posting 3 times. But the second the rom completes, the phone automatically restarts, so I don’t have a chance to do anything. And active sync doesn’t detect it

Try flashing through SD card. Check Wiki for more details on how!
Also take battery off, wait 10 secs, and put if back on. Make sure the batter is charged as well.

you should have askdd in that thread as your question doesnt warrant the starting of a new thread. go back and ask there and good luck

Help! My Uni is dead!!!

Hi guys!
I flashed back Tomal's 8.5 and I was installing my applications. Everything was working good.
But, after a soft-reset required by an application, the screen remained black. No turn on, nothing at all.
If I plug in usb the charging led won't turn on.
If I remove the battery and put the usb cable in, the led turns red.
I can't enter in bootloader mode.
The only thing that seems to go is the hard reset: I can get the white screen with the question "x to exit..." but nothing more!
What can I do?
Thanks...

Hey.
You have to do DOC FORMAT.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1097645&postcount=4

I tried it, but I cannot enter in bootloader mode, I can only enter in hardreset dialog and my Uni isn't recognized by XP...

Hi!
My Xda Exec is dead I flash Tomal ROM and the next moment my phone is black srceen. I tried it to hard reset but nothing resoult. The PDA enter the boot loader mode but my PC is not connected the PDA. The pda screen "USB V1.01".
Help me
(Sorry I can from hungary...)

If you can enter in bootloader mode there's a chance to format it. Read the wiki.
My problem is that I can't even enter in bootloader!

Yes i think. But "USB port can not open.".

I suppose you tried also this method...
If so, and nothing happened, I'm sorry, but I have no other ideas for you...

Problem solved!
I left my Uni without battery for few hours (don't know how it helped), I tried again with a fully charged battery and I've been able to get into bootloader.
I made a DOC format and reinstalled Master Tomal's rom.
Everything working well now...
Thanks!
