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

Things that will help others help you:
1. where are you located?
2. who is your provider
3. what ROM WERE you on?
4. ok - you had a phone that was working - and you did:
a. what did you do first?
b. second?
c. etc.
Your message KINDA indicates that you flashed a ROM and had issues - so you THEN flash HARDSPL? was that successful?

OK - I do not think that you got the HARDSPL installed on your phone correctly - BECAUSE - I believe that it would say OLIPOF or JOCKY on it and it does not.
I have not seen the new HARDSPL 328 and 329 but it LOOKS like to me that you did not successfully get the HARDSPL on your phone.
Personally - I would scan the message boards for GSLEON3 (user name) and send him a private message - there are many others that can help you and he or others MAY come trolling by and take pity on you - but at the moment he is the one that helps people in your situation the most from what I have seen.
I would NOT continue to work on it myself as you can definitely mess your phone up permanently. Does your phone still go into boot loader mode? If so - can you flash the required HARDSPL onto your phone?
Find a message that GSLEON3 has left and then lik on his name and send him a private message - he is very nice - BUT - he is VERY busy - continue to be nice and he will most likely get you back and running.

first of all thank u for the help

Danny -
Deep cleansing breaths here ok?
1. personally - I would PUT BACK what ever you had on your phone and get it running again - trying at this point to get ot to go to a different ROM is not a good idea right at this minute.
2. 28 and 29 from what I read makes no difference - users try each one to see which one works better on THEIR flashed ROM.
3. What I would do is look for the HARDSPL that goes with what you had loaded to begin with - or the actual SPL that came with your original ROM and put that one back.
I would be stuck here because I have to use JUMPSPL on my phone because I get the white screen - but I THINK that (don't quote me because I do not do it this way) if you don't get the white screen you can just flash the HARDSPL to your phone without JUMPSPL (having to be able to copy something to your phone.
HOWEVER - if you cannot or do not know how to continue from reading the WIKI - you MUST request help from a professional - I have already recommended one. (GSLEON3)

Based on your current track record, I wouldn't suggest you use MTTY as you have a VERY HIGH probability of bricking your phone (ie: it won't ever be usable again).

so im fu--.

Can you get the phone into the bootloader mode? Turn the phone off (pull the battery if you have to) then press and hold the camera button while you turn the phone on. You should get to a tri-color screen (this is the boot loader). Now plug in the USB cord and see if it switches from saying Serial to USB. If so, you can try flashing AN OFFICIAL ROM THAT WAS MEANT FOR YOUR PHONE (ie: Don't try to put an offical AT&T rom on an Orange). When you run the RUU program it will tell you that you need to have ActiveSync working, but don't worry about that. If your phone in bootloader shows USB, you can continue on.
BUT AGAIN... You need the Official rom that was meant for your device. Since you are not HardSPL'd you have to do it this way.
If you don't understand any of that, or have questions, don't just try it hoping you get it right...
As stated previously, it would be well worth you time to get someone like GSLEON to assist if you can.

Cool. Glad that worked for you.... NOW, your next task is to read and understand ALL the steps before you try flashing a custom rom. HardSPL that sucker (but understand and follow EVERY step before you try that) and then you should be good to go...

Not to be mean but if you have red Wiki and looked at threads here and they "don't make sense to you". You really have no business flashing a rom. If you don't understand what you are doing sooner or later you will brick your phone from your lack of knowledge and it will be no ones fault but your own.
I am really surprised people were willing to repeat what has been typed out hundreds and hundreds of times on these forums.

RUU error (262) update error

Hello guys...
Iam not new, and i have already flashed my first(it was wasted not by my fault)KAISER, it was one year ago and i did it with HARDSLPv1, and lately added some new roms cooked by sakajati(respect)...
Yesterday i bought new one(but one year old) so i tried to flash him as well, i have used HARDSPL 1.93, and then i tried to put Sakajati"s 4th feb ROM, but i come across one big trouble, everytime i try to put it on i encounter the same RUU error:
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
what to do...????
i am very afraid that i destroyed my Kaiser...???
what it means that Wince is destroyed...
Please help me, i am desperate...

Iam not new,
Click to expand...

But the solution could be found here (search)
If you see the tri color screen everythng is ok, just win mobile is destroyed. Try to flash a rom from your sd card

Thank you very much...
I hope it will work, i really did search for about an hour and tried to put rom on sevral times, but i didnt find nothing 100% secure, i dont want to indanger the unit any more that i did...
thanks again, i will try it tommorow morning at my job, thats where my SD card is...

Part of the problem is that 1.93 is a jump spl and should be used to upgrade to Hard spl 3.29 or 3.56, not as an spl on its own. You need to run jump spl 1.93 from your device and make sure you are connected to your computer, when you see the bootloader you need to unplug your USB, count to 10 and plug your USB back in then flash a hard spl to your phone! Again 1.93 is not a Hard Spl by itself, it is only a middle man to flash a Hard Spl.

I think the best would be to flash a stock rom at first, cause therefore you don't need an other bootloader. Then flash Hardspl (3.29 if you have a kaiser or 3.56 if you have a tilt) and then flash any rom you want

i obviusly have a lot to learn, mate how do I asses if I have TILT or KAISER, what is the main difference...
[email protected]: i have already DL the stock rom before i posted the tread, i hoped on that resolution if there were no answer...
in about 10 hours from now i will get my hands on my tilt/kaiser and hope to arranged the mess i done; I drop by in any case at that time and notify you about condition and my successes...

It realy doesnt make that much of a difference, I have a tilt and I use 3.29 and I would recomend it to anyone over 3.56 so flash either one, they will both work! And your english is great so no need to say sorry!

A Tilt is a At$T branded Kaiser, a TyNT II is a HTC branded Kaiser. Tilt has a different keyboard and OEM rom., only differences. People say use 3.56 if you have a Tilt because that is an AT$T Spl, but I use 3.29 on My Tilt and it works great so it doesn't really matter.

hey...
nothing seems to work...
I have tried to put default rom dl from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs but the problem is that it is not bootable from SD, that has to be because the USB conection isnt on (i selected the 3.34.721.2) so i given up that way
Then i flashed the HARD spl 3.29(have kaiser) via SD steb by step first with this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835; and it dint go through
so i tried with this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683
it didnt work either, they are the same I know(noticed later);
So problem is that i stuck at WHITE screen that says "LOADING..."
nothig else...???

finally i manage to load/boot the htc rom from xda-wiki site, but i have to chose another one

Hey man, nice to see that your device rewakes, you can flash every rom from sd card, simply rename the nbh file to kaisimg.nbh than restart into bootloader and it will automatically take the one from the card

Unfortanly, althought i would like you to be right, you are not. When i tried to do it via SD, i stuck at white screen saying LOADING...(blue) and nothih further... and i tried also the Cmonex_s Hard SPL3.29_SD which also stucks at same screen
So now (after updatig with default rom) that i have basicly normal working device i startet from the top. Using @mskip"[email protected] tutorial called: Flasing your first rom (for noobs); it all goes well, till i start to update RUU(sakajati 4 feb) if it matters, and i tried both (spls 1.56 and 1.93), it stops updatig at 17% and notrhin else then works just puting back the HTC default rom from wikiXDA side(thank god for that)
i am thinking of MTTY, although i dont know what it does guys here almoste all say it fix bad rom flash, but i am not sure if thats my main problem, i rahter think it has something with spls...
if someone has some good advice i will be very grateful...

Hi,
I couldn´t flash my Kaiser via SD at the first time and tried something that worked.
The SD´s are formatted in Fat16 usually, try to format to Fat32... It seems like a stupid thing, but worked for me.
Reagards and good luck.

SD must be formated FAT32, to work, also I sugest a smal card, 512 or something like that, SHDC usual doesn't work

I have 1GB SD and its not shdc, so thats ok.and i have done it right now, like you two guys said so i formated it with FAT32 but still no succes.
I guess that this tree lines in red/green/blue screen arent right:
KAIS130
SPL-3.02.0000
CPLD-8
i thing this SPL has to da something to do with all this mess a have done
I have flashed a couple of roms( i had three devices) and i flashed a few for my friends and all was OK till now, and i dont know what else to do...

Yes, you still have a stock spl on there. It needs to be hard spl'd before you flash anymore. Check out the stickies at the top of the forum.

hi again...
Well, I respect the "rules" of forum, thats why i wouldnt ask for insructions that are already written(thanks for the authors) with that i mean stickys, because i read them, almost all...
But I still tried once again, and I came across the same thing, i stuck at 17% when loading RUU or if i choose the VIA SD i stuck at white screen with blue text saying (LOADING...)...
nothing else helps than loading the dafault ROM by HTC... as i already said once again...
if i manage to solve the problem i will be in touch; what do you thing about MTTY
Edit 1:
i have done everything as it says in the instruction, and just like some of you "replyed" me...
but i always stuck at 17%when loading RUU, when i flash it with SPL 1.56 or 1.93 i never get stuck at white screen it always apeare the mentioned SPLs nimbers and some other text in yellow but when i then load RUUs i stuck at excatly 17% nothing less nothing more
edit 2:
yupi....yupi
i made it...

6.5 ROMS expire???

Someone please confirm what I read on another thread -- that ROMs based on the current 6.5 will expire, forcing you to reflash.
If this is true, please update the Wiki so that 6.5 flashers will be aware of this.
/as for me, I'm sticking with 6.1 untill 6.5 is officially released...
EDIT: I should say that if someone will confirm this _I_ will put this in the Wiki, unless someone beats me to it....

But most are not. Just assume that your 6.5 beta rom is time bombed, back up everyday, and reflash when the time comes.
Or just keep upgrading your rom with new builds so that the time bomb never kicks in.

true don't know which kitchens are being used on what rom, but tpc has the "official" 6.5 rom dump from the topaz and just released his rom off of it so timb bomb should be gone in that one.

LOL, ROMs are kept on a phone long enough to find out that it's time bombed? I thought they all had a 1 week expiration date

Does anyone knows how to change the date in BOOTLOADER mode.. or any other mode that does not require to load the ROM? Just wanted to boot to backup the sms and etc...
Also i can't connect the pocket to the PC via cable.. problems with my miniUSB connection!
So my only chance is really to change the date in the pocket.. before loading ROM!
Any ideas people?
Cumps,

actually, most if not all should be gone. Since I'd imagine most of the chefs on here (including myself ) use ports from other chefs (like twopumpchump, joshkoss, and anryl) because it saves on time, if the build has it removed, so do the countless ROMs that are based off them.

what screen does it stop on? also, you built the ROM yourself?

In my experience, only old builds do that, the one i tried, first joshkoss Roms, with the line "internal use only" was timebombed, it was the 21189 build. Right now i have PDA corners X2V2 Rom, and has no issues, i have it since May i think.
Good luck with your ROMs!

that's very odd. Usually something like that happens with a bad XIP . I assure you that it's not a timebomb tho
did you install any applications before this happened?

hMm.. not timebomb? but is there anyway of retrieving the lost data (sms, etc..?) or i can just flash another rom 'cause its lost?
I have flash that rom 9 days ago... i thought it was the timebomb 'cause since 3 days ago.. today was my first reboot.. (time 01-july-09 passed.. so on the first reboot.. the rom doesn't load.. this was what passed thru my mind)
Anyway.. last thing i used was Android.. booted normally.. and then shut down normally.. when trying to boot windows it got stuck!

I had that happen to me too... What you will need to do is flash a stock ROM, hard rest, then flash hard spl 3.34, then your radio of choice, then finally flash V6(it is awesome!)...
Some others have had this happen to them as well... not sure what causes it, seems to be something with conflicting info left over from the previous flashed ROM and has something to do the the super RAM hack... not sure, I just know the solution.
And there is no way to back up your info without being able to boot.

errmmm... forgot to tell... haven't installed any aplication on the ROM since flash besides Resco Explorer & Kaisertweak & TOMTOM (but.. no way it had something to do with it)

Not 100% needed, but you do need to reflash your hard spl, so might as well flash the version that works best with the ROM... FYI, your SPL should match the ROM version... TPC uses HTC ROM version 3.34, so Hard SPL is the proper one to use for best performance.

I can't believe the number of people that haven't read to flash a stock ROM first. Man!

I don't flash a stock ROM before I flash anything and I've never had problems

OMG...did i brick my phone?

Ok...so my tp2 is verizon and I did the whole hardspl thing and somehow got the energyrom leo on my fone, and then wen i tried to update to the new sense 2.1 extreme rom, i dont know wat happened. It said to use this custom ruu thing which i clicked on, and wen it updated my fone, my fone does absolutely nothing now cept loading the start screen where it says Touch pro2
I new something was wrong becus at no point was the .nbh that i extracted used, but no ruu came with the file that i downloaded...sighhh so is my fone dead or wat? I tried hard resetting, and although i am able to get to the hard reset page, wen i actually do it, it still just freezes where touch pro2 screen comes out

dont trip
i've 'bricked' most of my phones i've played with at least once. If your getting anything your ok - go to boot loader mode, reflash the original rom on it, then the one you want. Make sure your battery has a good charge also ^^

it wouldnt hurt. Just pretend youve never done anything to the phone.
Write or type out a list of steps for each phase
print it out and cross them off one by one.

thanks

Failed flashing with CustomRUU.exe
Every flash has failed (freezes at "Touch Pro2" boot screen) when I tried to use a ROM that uses CustomRUU.exe (Miri, Cell_Pro, Athine, AF, Shadowline, and others). Flashing ROMs that use ROMUpdateUtility.exe already extracted flash fine. I've even tried first flash the original Sprint stock ROM and then flashing a "CustomRUU" ROM but without success. I've also extracted the files from the CustomRUU.exe and then run it with the nbh file but that doesn't work either. HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint)
Any suggestions?

You're flashing CDMA ROMs, right? Not the GSM only ones found here, but CDMA ones from elsewhere, like here? Try flashing one of the CDMA ROMs found at the second link, and see if that works, because I think you may be flashing GSM ROMs onto your CDMA device, which would explain why it flashes, but doesn't boot properly. Hope that helps

Apparently, I was flashing a GSM ROM. There really should be better indication of what the ROM is designed for than simply being in a particular form. It wouldn't be any trouble to add a few characters (GSM/CDMA) to the file name to make it clear.
Thanks!

My Verizon tp2 is stuck on the TOUCH pro2 screen when it tries to boot.. It will not hard or soft reset. So it's not being recognized by my pc to do the hardspl thing. I was trying to flash the perfectblack rom but it said it was not for my device...so i tried Energy rom.. it flashed but will not boot.. please help...how do i fix this.

Well...I took it back to Verizon...they are sending me another one. Have to figure out what I did wrong because I truly wanted to try a cooked rom or two.
Back to the drawing board.

Wait, you are sending Verizon your phone with a non-booting cooked ROM and the HSPL on it?!?
If they figure that out, there's a good chance you'll be SOL.

Exactly. Even if you have insurance on the TP2, if you sent it back with anything that is not stock, your insurance is probably voided, they probably wont give you your phone back, and you might even have to pay full price for a new one. Good luck man. Definitely should have held out for some responses before you sent it out. If you haven't then that's good, but if you did, your probably out of luck.

Why didn't you try what the orginal poster did?
I loaded a GSM rom on my Sprint TP2, I wasn't paying attention to the orginal
Post and just thought oh.. I want this rom..
What I did,
Turn on the device while holding down the Power button and the Volume Down key. If you see Serial and 3-4 colored bars plug in your USB, and reflash with a CDMA Rom.
This fixed my Phone. Credits to the gurus at PPC Geeks. if i find the topic later I'll post it.
