I have a Cingular 8525 running WM5 that is stuck in bootloader screen. I have tried to soft and hard reset ... just boots back to the same screen, I can't turn it off once in the screen and when i sync via usb to the pc i get the message that the "usb device that is connected is malfunctioning" I have not done any upgrading at all and the phone worked perfectly right up till the time i powered it down and restarted into the bootloader screen.
Please can someone out there help me with this issue?

Manage to solve the problem ...thanks WIKI !!
Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus
Then Flash to any ROM you want !!
Thanks .... But
Thanks for the reply ... but i have no idea how to do what you tell me, I am new to all this phone "stuff" as a matter of fact this is the first time that i am ever using one of these forums. I have read till i am cross eyed but dont actually understand what you are talking about ... now don't let that scare you away as i am willing to learn and i am not braindead ... you all had to start sometime in this, not so. I get that i need to try and reflash my rom...
so is there some type of rom update software that i need? ... what is a hard SPL?? ... and who is Schaps?? .. sorry guys to do this to you but i would like to get into this game and i need some ( well maybe a lot ) of pointers.
Thanks for your time.
1. Search for "mr vanxs guide" so you have an idea on what you're doing.
2. OK, as Asfarizal said "Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus". If you cant work out what the buttons are, go to the manual. it will tell you.
3. type in "hard SPL" in search on the forum & download the .zip or .rar file. this should have 2 files inside when opened,
a). RUUWrapper.exe and
b). RUU_signed.nbh
sync Hermes and double click .exe file. follow prompts.
4. find a rom that you want (would suggest TNT SE as a fairly good rom for noobs... good and stable, no problems...) Again download, then (and this is personel preference) format an sd card fat 32 and copy RUU_signed.nbh into root directory. Rename it Hermimg.nbh. Put into Phone and put into bootloader(make sure the battery is more than 50%) follow prompts. This should get you out of trouble. You can also sync your Phone and double click on the RUUWrapper.exe HOWEVER, if you should reset your computer, pull out the usb cable or have anything else happen to the computer that interrupts the flashm, you could end up with a worse brick than you have now. try to read up on flashing (search for "mr vanxs guide") and this should help you a lot if you have other questions. Good luck and happy flashing......
Thank You
I will follow the instructions you gave and try to get it going this weekend.
Thank you so much for your time

Looks like you've got a lot of reading to do, and a problem to sort out. Firstly a couple of answers...
Schaps is a Rom Cooking guru (makes custom versions of WM5, WM6 etc). When you get your phone sorted out I'd recommend trying one of his roms.
Hard SPL. The SPL is part of the bootloader which effectively dictates how a rom is flashed and what roms can be flashed. HardSPL is a custom version of this which allows you to flash any rom from any carrier. It also protects against a bad flash in many cases. It is recommended before you try flashing any new roms or radio roms. Use Hard-SPL-V7 at the bottom of the first post here.
The Rom upgrading software is contained in any of the cooked or carrier supplied roms. It is normally a .zip file which cotains 2 files: xxxxxRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh. You run the .exe file from your PC when connected to your phone via USB. More details of how to do this are in MrVanx's guides. Also other resources here.
Now to try to sort your phone out...
What is displayed on your screen when in bootloader mode? It should be something like this:
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro (This is HardSPL V7)
If you don't have an Olipro SPL then you need to get HardSPL onto your phone. If you haven't done any upgrading and have had the phone from new then I guess you don't have hardSPL.
Now you need to fix your USB Malfunctioning problem. I can't help too much here except to suggest trying a different cable, different USB port or different PC. Also, if you are running Vista try an XP maxhine. When you connect to the PC does your phone show Serial or USB on the screen? If you can't get a USB connection, all is not lost - you can re-flash your rom using an SD card, method here.
There is a thread about un-bricking phones which may help.
There are various diagnostic tools (which can also screw your phone if used incorrectly). The favourite of these is MTTY but you need a USB connection to use this.
If your phone is in warranty I'd recommend getting your supplier to sort it out, but if not I'd try to re-flash an ORIGINAL supplier rom (Cingular I guess). You can get links to the official supplier roms here.
I think (might be wrong) that sometimes when stuck in bootloader you need to flash an official rom, not a cooked one to recover your phone - then you can run HardSPL and then flash cooked roms again.
Cingular 8525 stuck in bootloader
Thanks for the reply ... lots of great input.
Now to answer some of your questions.
1) When I power up the phone (only pushing the power button ) it goes straight into the bootloader screen without pushing any other buttons, and it displays
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
Then at the bottom in the white bar it says "Serial"
The only way that i have found to power it down again is to remove the battery, there is no response from any single buttons after it is in bootloader
the soft reset and hard reset work but it just goes right back to the bootloader screen after.
2) The USB malfunction. This only started after the phone "crashed" and before that it worked great ... well i only used it to sync up to my work pc for the contacts and to get pictures onto my hard drive.
all the PC's that i use are running XP. I have tried my home PC and my Laptop
and the work PC and all of them have their own cables and they all say the same thing ... "the USB device is malfunctioning"
I am sure that when i get the phone going again the USB will start to function again.
3) Phone warranty ... I bought the phone off e-bay from a store in new york about 10 months ago as a "new unlocked cingular 8525" it was new and unlocked, but i have no idea how they unlocked it. I would assume that there would be no warranty now and in any case i live in Canada and would have to ship it down to the states to an AT&T repair center and that sounds like a nightmare to me with the customs and so on.
I will give you a little more background on the problem. the phone worked like a charm without any problems at all for the 10 months that i had it, then the morning of the crash the phones alarm did not go off in the morning and i was almost late for work ... i did not pay it any further attention untill at 3:26pm
that afternoon the alarm went off ??????? (it was set for 6:05am) so i checked the main clock time, it was right. I then checked the alarm time, it was right ??? So i figured that something must have just got confused, so i powered down the phone with the power button to just restart it and while it was powered down i removed the battery to take the oportunity to to clean all those fuzzies and dust that collect in the battery compartment out and put it all together and powered it up again (just by pushing the power button) and this wierd red, green, blue and white screen appeared and that is all that i have seen since ???
I hope that answers your questions and i will start going through the links that you sent and get to reading ... will there be a pop quiz ... lol
Thanks again for your time and i very much appreciate all the time that all of you have spent on me and my phone ..... I know that you all just feel bad for me because i now have to use a Motorolla V551 ... lol
Great Work

thanks and regards
kirtibas
kirtibas, sorry it took so long to reply, 1st thing I'd do is upgrade to SPL 2.10 olipro. This is safer to use than others. then I'd suggest reflashing a stock rom to see if that works. After stock rom works then use a cooked rom as your heart desires... Cheers...
I had my 8125 connected to my computer and was in disk management. I computer DELETED my HTC drives! PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A WAY TO GET THEM BACK! PLEASE!!!! was running XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 FINAL with custom firmware ipl 2.26 and spl 2.26. It can connect to usb but is not recognized. any help. The firmware updater doesnt see it! help! please!
-Rico-
What do you mean "drives"? Does the phone boot into Windows?
No. it goes to the "emergency green color usb screen. the same one if u hold teh picture button on starting. It would just like deleting a harddrive partition. no more data on it. and no drive space because it needs to be re-formatted. can I reformat with some program? windows wont recognize it. any thoughts.
-Rico-
Everytime i try to reflash from the bootloader the program gives me an indescript error and shuts down... I need help!
-Rico=
It sounds very bad...
But is worst your english men...
I think mine is bad but you told me, scuse let me pass trough hahahaha
First of all (what i can understands)
You are on WM5Storage seing your Trueff disk (this cant be, ok?...) and for some reason your computer delete that disk? (imposible men... but many things happend with this devices, oneday Aliens comes to my bedroom and tooks it from my hands and then... its a joke hahaha)
You were running that custom ROM but....
I ask AGAIN and AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Are you cid sim unlock? what da heck is a custom firmware?
And now your phone is in Bootloader screen? what da heck is the emergency green color usb screen?
Wich one is the picture button? are you talkin about how to eneter in RED Green Blue Screen (Bootloader)?
What was the last Rom you have runing ok?
ok thanks for helping... here are the answers to your questions:
Are you cid sim unlock? what da heck is a custom firmware? Yes- its cid unlocked with updated firmware for isp/spl to 2.26. I updated them with a packed rom for windows mobile 6. Its a custom pack from XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 FINAL - Full.
And now your phone is in Bootloader screen? what da heck is the emergency green color usb screen? Yes, everytime I start it up, it goes directly to bootloader. the red,green,blue screen. it only shows the isp/spl numbers on it.
What was the last Rom you have runing ok? XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 FINAL - Full
This is what im thinking. windows erased the partitions that was the phone disk. The WM5Storage is what I was using, windows recognized and deleted the storage partition on the phone. so I need a program or a method for re-creating that partition onthe phone. is there a program or something I could use in your experience? Everytime I try to reload a rom, the programs just crash on me, I think its becaues the disk onthe phone has been 'deleted' by windows partitioning.
Thank you for your help,
Nick

Well if you get stuck in the bootloader just flash the rom again, when it finished youll get a working WM again

This is good news. It means you don't have a brick, yet (theoretically).
If there's any way you can charge that battery before flashing (say, in a friend's phone), do it! Low battery will definitely cause a failed flash, and the battery won't charge in your phone when it is stuck in bootloader mode.
After you charge your battery, find Mun's RUU, and install Wizard Love on your phone using the Mun RUU, not the one that comes with Wizard Love. If this doesn't work, try loading the phone's original service provider ROM (if you have a G4, you must first remove HardSPL). Then, you should be able to flash back up to XDAM6 after that. Your data is history, but the phone is recoverable. Just keep trying.

So this is the problem men! on XP the corner downright when you enter in bootloader and conect it via USB a pop up comes saying The device is not recognized please unplug and replug to bla bla bla....
I think that youu need to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963
and try this metod but you need a clean MiniSD and a backup from another wizard the good news is that goes to bootloader and its cid unlocked and yes is truth!!!! get fully charged your battery men!!!! get a way to charge it without the phone cause it dont charge men!
Or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425526 this needs somethings less than the others but is not trudly proove so lets make your wizard revives men!
Thanks guys, the last post seems to be the one that may work... but I need a backup of another wizard... could any of you guys be so kind as to upload one? Id be the most appreciative. Thanks

I assume you mean a hard reset to completely revert your phone to factory settings.
I also assume that the two soft keys and stylus in the hole is giving you the yes/no question.
The alternative could be to try:
Start>Settings>System (Tab)>Clear Storage (Icon)

cheers mike...im constantly finding the whole experiance frustrating with this phone...might stick it a jify bag to you to upgrade

The tri-colour screen is bootloader. Once in bootloader connect your device to your pc. The bottom of bootloader should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. Once usb' is shown you are able to flash rom

It is normal procedure for activesync not to be running when in bootloader as phone is not booted up. To flash a rom all you need is phone connected to pc via usb cable. You do not need activesync.
Put phone into bootloader. Bottom of screen should say 'serial'. Now connect phone to pc via usb cable. Bottom of bootloader should now change to 'usb' after a few seconds. You are now able to run ruu file from pc
Hello fellow HD2 users,
I've got an HD2 T-Mobile UK. I've just tried my luck with HSPL, I've succeessfully installed HSPL using the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
However, when I copied the LEOIMG.nbh (1.48 offiicial rom) file to the micro SD 8GB card; and rebooted, things seemed ok untill it suddenly stopped the progress of flashing the ROM and gave me a Grey screen with the Error 00028002 "not Allow" sort of thing.
So I tried yanking battery out, rebooting normally, it displays a grey triangle with " ! " in the middle and then displays the 00028002 error then back to Tri colour bootloader, I noticed that the HSPL is gone and its back now to 1.42.0000
I even tried a Factory reset, it does the reset I reboot, but it still shows me grey triangle and same routine. I've tried everything now. This bloody T-mobile phone is just useless to me at the moment !
Can you please HELP !!! Thank you so much !
Regards !!
Ok found solution, I just had to install the official T-mobile 1.43.110.0 ROM from this link:
http://rapidshare.com/users/258XUJ
After just switching on the phone with microsd inside, I just plugged the usb and started the RUU and followed the steps and things are back to square one now.
not thrilled that it has been a nightmare so far to get a new rom on.
but at least I can use my phone with its basic functionalities. not gona push my luck again...
You cannot flash official ROMS from the sd because it replaces the SPL with a stock one. Presume it got half way through then decided the ROM was not for your device since it hasd replaced the SPL. Cooked ROMS are ok to flash from SD but for Stock use the RUU.
tell me it's working please.my HD2 from UK T-Mob is same "bricked" and in Slovakia is very very difficult to find somebody who can fix this....i think maybe only the HTC repair center
^
If your phone can load up into the boot loader (tri-color screen) your phone is not bricked.
Deeper Trouble:Same error,but cannot use USB!!!
Guys,
im in even much deeper **** now.I accidentally tried flashing a stock ROM via SD card and now ive gt the same ROM code error.What makes this worse is that my Vista computer is not recognizing any USB connection when i connect my HD2 to the computer.If i need to flash a stock rom via RUU wrapper to get through this stupid ROM code error, i need a USB connection at the first place...which IS NOT WORKING NOW!!!...im sitting duck here guys...i really really need your help on this one.im extremely frustrated and helpless.thanks alot...
When u say USB not working, how do you know?
Put phone in bootloader, connect USB cable,,, on phone does "serial" become "USB"? If yes then just run the flash.

Hello there!
I got HD2 today, it has windows installed on it and its Swedish.
Ive spent half of day trying to get it done but nothing worked.
I cant install HSPL to go on with the installation, Ive tried everything.
I connect my HD2 to PC and activesync does its work, I can see my mobile phone connected, adding new files works both on local and sd storage.
The problem comes in when I try to install HSPl so I could flash my phone and continue with the installation. Whenever I start HSPL isntallation my HD2 losses its connection with the PC and nothing happens. What could be the problems.
Whats the easiest workaround for this? I really want to install the android os on my phone, I dont like the windows one.
(I have searched the forums, nothing helped me)
MY DEVICE:
ROM v 1.o
Radio T8585
1024Mhz Cpu
Ram 576 Mb
Nand 1024 Mb
32 bit bus
Win mobile 6.5 pro
16 Gb mem card
Is there any other way to install android? Anything?
----------------------------------------------------
So I have tried doing same things today. I tried entering the bootloader using vl down and power up, ol down and reset key, left arrow and power key and the phone just starts my windows nothing. But when I press vl up, dwn and pwr key I get into 4 colour mode and it give me error: Copying file from SD card failed, system will shut down.
I will try to play around it a little bit, maybe try nativeSD somehow, but I dont think Ill manage anything. Help
----------------------------------------------------
When I use clrcad and haret on SDc it starts booting linux, progress bar goes to the end and stays there. Every time. Ive been waiting for some time for it to boot, but it jsut stays there.
Is there a way to get rid of this windows mobile crap easily? Do you think that mobile shops are willing to do this sort of stuff for you?
Try installing HSPL from the bootloader.Turn off phone, hold volume down rocker and boot up.

There are many, you need to search for them. I don't know which will work for you.
No help there, its still the same, no bootloader, nothing.

I cant seem to find fastboot anywhere in my settings.
+ My mobile is whole Swedish, I dont understand a thing, but I do manage to get around, but I still cant find fastboot like the one poster said that it might be the problem.
Im not sure whats the problem in the end. I feel that this phone is somehow locked, wont let me do such stuff, but I might be wrong, Im not really the kind of guy thats interested in developing phones, so I dont know most of stuff. Hope some more advices might come in.
Wait.. If it's swedish, why not go into settings and change language to yours (or to English)?
Also, you said "no help there". You mean the windows mobile application didn't let you boot into bootloader? I am quite sure you didn't even try it. It should work, trust me
But the question is: Once you're in the bootloader, and get rid of Windows Mobile, how are you going to go into bootloader again? (since there's no longer an app, or windows to RUN that app)

Well, for the language, I have been trying to change it, but I dont think its possible + Ive found multiple threads on forums about changing lng on windows mobile phone and they said that its not possible.
And for the bootloader, its not working. Seriously, I have been trying to do it for 2 days now. Using buttons, using random apps Ive found here on forums and none of them got me into the bootloader (expect the VL UP, VL DWN, PWR pressed together, which got me into four colour screen (which should be bootloader if Im right), but it turns off straight away if not connected with usb cable. If it is connected it stays at error as said in my first post). I wish I could get rid of the windows somehow so the bootloader would ask me for another rom or however that works, Im not much into it as said.
I somehow managed to get past the verifying the usb connection for HSPL installation, progress bar shows but it goes nowhere & after some time appears this error

No, that combination should get you into hard resetting your device and not into bootloader. Even if it does get you into the bootloader for a fraction of unit time, it won't allow you to flash anything. Volume down only is to get into bootloader

No, that combination should get you into hard resetting your device and not into bootloader. Even if it does get you into the bootloader for a fraction of unit time, it won't allow you to flash anything. Volume down only is to get into bootloader

I have tried that thing yesterday. Didnt work. Tried it right now - it does nothing. I run the app and my phone just goes black (like when you tap the power button, lock or something) and it will stay like that without doing anything until i tap the pwr button to unlock it. Nothing really happens
I want to advise you install a ROM from sd card using the LEOIMG.nbh method. But I am not sure which ROM is for which device. (I never actually flashed my phone from sdcard). That might make the bootloader boot up (?). Also, can you confirm that the volume rockers work fine under windows mobile?
To be honest, I am out of solutions. We should wait for other people's.
Sorry I couldn't help.

No problem man, thank you for trying.
Yes, my vol buttons work jsut fine, its just the thing I cant get into the bootloader, no matter which way I try.
LEOIMG method needs bootloader too, right? Or does it go with the clrcad and haret method? Haret doesnt work for me, starts booting stuff and than jsut stays at it
do exactly as i say and tell me what happens:
remove battery
remove sd card
plug in to pc via usb
hold volume down
put battery in
now you should be seeing the tricolor bootloader, right?

I have no SD card slot, I think Its hidden somewhere under since its reading it both on PC & phone.
I have tried doing it without the sd card removal but nothing happens.
Where could I look for the sd card, its not on any side, its not under the battery, its not udner the other 2 romovables
--------------
UPDATE:
So I have opened my HD2 up and foudn the sd card under and I have removed it. DId everything you said and still nothing, my HD2 just boots up normally. No bootloader or anything. It seems like my bootloader is hidding somewhere

this is really confusing. starting to sound like an hd2 clone to me...
can you open the back cover, remove battery and take a photo of the phone, then upload it here? (remove imei/serial/sensitive stuff from picture, using paint or some software )

mhm could be the clone. Is there any way to do something about it if its a clone?

I knew it!! I was going to say it might be fake, but deleted that line for some reason. Anyway, with those double sims trays, it's definitely a clone (unfortunately). How much did you pay for it?
Edit: Nope, not that much that can be done with a clone. You'd be lucky if you were able to even change the Windows Mobile ROM.

Got it for free, my aunt gave it to me. I dont know how much she paid for it. So I should leave it as it is, there is no possible way to change it?
As far as I know (and as my searching abilities go) no, you can't do much. I hope someone proves me wrong.
