Problems Formating

Hi Guys,
Well yesterday the Battery on my 9100 went flat this has happened before and I just charge it back up and its fine.. But this time I incurred Data Loss
Went to turn it back on and it locks on the Boot screen where its states the GSM etc.. Have gone through the usual key press to format and I keep reciving format failed
Any help would be most appriciated

Get to the bootloader screen (multicolored) by turning device off - hold camera button and turn on. Sounds like you need to reflash you device with the same or updated rom - all the wizard roms are listed in the wiki - link is top left on your screen

ul, prehaps its cos your knees are too bendy?

Did you sort this out? I can get to the multicolored screen and flash my wizard but it never boots past the second splash screen. I think the extended rom is corrupted somehow and I need to clear it but hard reset just ends with format failed? Any ideas?

MDA Stuck on Press Send to Restore...

Hi: This is my first posting and I am new on this board. I have had an MDA that I got as a gift from my Dad and I love it. However, I used it last week and for some unkown reason, it is stuck in the:
'Press Send to Restore Factory Defaults, Other Key to Quit.'
I have been trying to get past this for 4 days and am not having any luck.
I got to the Align Screen and that happened only once. Then I could not get past that. It keep showing the Align Screen and I kept tapping and it just kept going round and round from the Center Tap to the sides and back.
My battery is fully charged, I have read this forum and still I am lost. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you so much.

Thank you for trying to help me. However, I have done both of the resets over and over and I keep getting the same result. 'Press send to restore factory defaults, other key to quit.'
I can get no further than that display regardless of what key or keys that I hit.
I have even tried the two ways of doing a Hard Reset:
1. Hold Com and Voice while pressing Soft Reset Button for 5 or more seconds until I get that display.
2. Hold Com, Voice and Camera while pressing Soft Reset Button for 5 or more seconds until I get that display.
I cannot get past that display regardless of what key or keys I press.
It seems frozen at that display point.

Tried again this am to hard reset my MDA. Now it goes and shows the T-Mobile screen with the IPL/SPL etc. Then goes into Windows and to the Align Screen and for some reason will not recognize the Screen Tapping to align the screen.
I did try to use my PC to recognize the MDA, but it would not. Downloaded WST and that would not recognize my MDA either. I understand that until I get past the Hard Rest my MDA will not be recognized by my PC due to ActiveSync being requried to connect my MDA to the PC. I don't know what else I can try. Search all day yesterday and could not find any solutions. Will continue today. Any suggestions, Please. Thank you.

Use the love rom to set phone back to "zero". Therefore you must press press the voice and camera buttons if joy reset youre phone.
You get some collored bloks om youre phone and then you can use the love rom.
After that you can use youre original rom updater

Did a search for Love Rom and Wizard_Love ROM and only came up with 103 results consisting of some Threads with 1570, 898, 618,787, 893, 464........postings on the first page for Threads 1-25.
Now I do have a Red, Green, Blue, White Screen with RUU in the top right corner of the Red Bar with IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26 in the Red Bar. Nothing is in the Green, Blue or White bar.
I tried to Hard Reset and Soft Rest and nothing happens. I removed my Battery and then tried again and still nothing happens?
Where can I find Wizard_Love ROM and what do I do when I find it. My PC will not recognize my MDA and I used WST and that cannot located my MDA.
I am at a complete loss of what to do next.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to try to help me get my phone operational.

Use the love rom to set phone back to "zero".
do not confuse guys with this statement.Wizard_love_Rom is a patched rom which is flashed to recover back the phone in some stuck up phones,but it doesn't set the phone back to 'ZERO',but its an italian language rom.
Tonis
The multicolor screen is the bootloaders with IPL/SPL 2.26 displayed,this is the mode from where you can flash another rom.There's no need to get the phone activesync,cuz it won't activesync in bootloaders.But when in bootloaders,connect the phone with pc via usb cable and watch small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloaders,if its there then you are good to go and can flash a rom.
Now,download the official T-mobile 2.26 from the link below and get the phone in bootloaders,check usb appear at the bottom and flash it to recover back to the default status of the phone.

Thank you again for your help. Prior to this posting I found:
epimazzo Posting at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107&highlight=bootloader #1 and this is what cleared up my problem and now my MDA is running GREAT!!!!!!!!
This was the same thing that you posted for me, too.
Maybe some of you are already aware of this procedure, maybe not.
Anyway, it worked for me and I decided to share how to do it. Simple.
This procedure should only be used in case you really need enter into a bootloader mode (Red, Green, Blue, White Screen) and all other ways to do it has failed! Hold Camera button is one of these I am mentioning.
1. Make sure your Phone is not Connected to the PC and remove the dummy card or SD/MMC card
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. Reconnect your Phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Don’t use the IrDA or Bluetooth for the Upgrade)
4. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.
So, Thank you all for your time and help. I do hope this helps others to find a way to correct their problems.

Thanks !
Yes.thats exactly what I wanted you to do
I'm glad you got it up and running fine
Cheers!

Hi!
I got an mada vario 4. How can I upgrade the rom on it? Or can I change the t-mobile touch flo to manila 2.5? Thx! Zoli

Help... I think I bricked it

OK I am stuck at the screen showing IPL SPL GSM and OS.
I was wanting to change the ROM so I used Resco backup and made a full backup.
Then I flashed back the original Rom for my Cingular 8125 / HTZ Wizard
Then I flashed to HTC Business Edition ROM CE OS 5.2.1622 Build 18128 AKU 4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376667
Then ran my restore but since I forgot to put in my name and other personal info it said some stuff couldnt be restored so I Put in all my info and then did the restore again and it said it was complete and needed to soft reset so I said ok and now Im stuck at the boot screen like I said.
Since Im at this spot active sync wont connect and I cant reflash that way.
any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris

I am sort of in the same boat, got the wizard flash with buttons image, but now it won't connect via activesync, hopefully we will both get an answer.

cholubaz,
I got my problem solved by ....
1) doing a hard reset on my phone
2) un-installing active sync AND deleting the active sync folder then re-installing a fresh copy
I wanted to pull what little hair out that I have left, but it all came out good.

I fixed mine too just a few min ago
Mine wouldnt even hard reset. Holding the Power button down did nothing no matter how long I held it down.
I took the battery out and put it back in after a few min to a few hours and still it would only boot to the same screen I mentioned.
What I found out was that if I held the camera button in and then turned on the phone I was able to get in to boot loader mode and then I was able to reflash to a new ROM.
So Im back in business now
Cheers,
Chris

i reeallyyyy need somebody's help with unbricking my phone.. please hellpppp!!

alright.. i made a similar post to this before and i came across the wiki...
well i can't view what my SPL or my IPL because as soon as i turn the device on, all that shows is the boot loader screen and displays serial on the top with 0.16-0.90 in red characters on the bottom (I'm not sure what those are)...
here are the only details that i know about my phone:
I DON'T have hard SPL
My Original ROM i was using before was an htc windows mobile 5 rom
The reason that my phone is bricked right now is because the usb cable disconnected in the middle of the flash
I'm using Windows Vista for flashing
Computer won't recognize the phone when on usb
My phone (qtek 9600) can't load the operating system
*EDIT*
THE PHONE IS STUCK ON BOOTLOADER WHEN I TURN IT ON, NOTHING ELSE, BUT THE BOOTLOADER SCRREN DOESN'T SHOW MY SPL AT ALL.
ALSO, MY COMPUTER DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE PHONE....... MY PHONE HAS A TYPE 2A BRICK
Helping me will be greatly appreciated
come on.. I'm without a phone

Do you have a 2GB or smaller SD card? Copy a rom image to it and rename it HERMIMG.NBH
Turn it on and you might get lucky!

Just make sure its stock rom that was supplied, or the updated WM06 version as the CID should check out then...
vwkess forgot to mention, reset into bootloader, hold power, ok button and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you get to the tri-colour screen. If it works, follow the prompts....
Cheers...

hi,
i think i can hlep.
i had recently bricked my phone with a custom wm6 image, it worked fine for two days and then i reboot, and all i see was the welcome image, nothing else.
so what i did is -
i pressed the hard reset buttons - power + OK + SOFT RESET (Stylus), kept it pressed for 3-4 seconds, the fone rebooted, the screen was full with some colored bricks i connected my fone in USB and on screen i saw USB.
I then again flashed my fone with the working update, it worked perfectly for me, try may be you can get some luck
ps - before doing all these, i turned my fone off by removing the battery, i removed sim card and mmc card as well.
regards

That may work too, but again, try to flash with a stock rom, untick "connect with USB" in activesync and then try.
Make sure you go to boootloader screen, instruction in rajivlodha's post, before you connect to the pc.
Goodluck...

I need some help as well.
I think I may have bricked my phone. It's a rooted htc hero cdma. I'm running cyogenmod on it and it was working fine, until using metamorph to apply some changes to the theme.
I went to reboot, and it now it won't load past the htc screen. Even when i try the key combination to put it into recover mode. I didn't install a nandroid backup, and i'd be fine with just completely wiping my phone. help is appreciated.

HELP!! HTC Home Customizer 2.1 left my HTC Touch (Sprint) completely frozen

Hi,
I installed HTC Home 2.1 Version from the following site.
http://www.pocketemu.com/download.php?view.20
After installation the device restarted and left my phone completely disabled. Nothing works, the backlight just stays on, cannot click anywhere, doesnt receive sprint connection, PC cannot detect the device so no Active Sync and hence cannot upgrade ROM aswell. Hard resets brings it back to the same screen....completely frozen.
Please help!!
Thanks,
Apurv

By hard reset, you are referring to pressing and holding the red+green+stylus in reset hole all at the same time until the gray screen appears on the screen? If so, that should be reloading your ROM and removing everything on there (basically back to first startup with the last ROM/Stock ROM that was flashed to it)
Otherwise, take your SD card and attach/access it from your PC apart from the phone, copy over the ROMs *.NBH file you want or are currently using over to it and rename it VOGUIMG.nbh and put the SD card back into the phone, power it on and press and hold the power+camera+stylus in hole until the gray screen shows up and then follow the directions there - it is referred to as flashing from bootloader mode

Thanks!
Thanks a lot! I was under the impression that putting stylus in the hole is hard resetting
I did the actual hard reset and the phone is back to manufacturers settings
Thanks
Apurv,

No problem, glad its back up and running for ya
Detroit Doug

Don't try to reinstall 2.1. Just use 1.0 final.
