I flashed some rom on here a while back. The wife has the wiz and I have the herald. Anyhow, she was having problems so I figured I'd flash the stock 2.26 tmo rom back on her mda. I ran through the update utility and it crashed at about 7x %. Now it is stuck in a bootloader reboot loop...Anyone have any suggestions?? I need to get her phone working again so any help is appreciated. By the way, its a G3 device.
Thanks
Kevin
Just reflash the t-mobile stock ROM again, as simple as that. Most of the time when you have a failed flash you get the bootloader every time you boot. Make sure you don't connect the sync cable until after you're in the bootloader and when you do connect it it says USB at the bottom and you should be good to flash from there.

Hi, I have a TMobile MDA with IPL 2.26 and SPL 2.26 and I was trying to put a new rom but the program gave me an update error when reached 99% an now it is stuck in the boot screen (shows in the bottom USB connection) but when re-running the program it does not connect and activesync does not detect the phone. Before the rom update program ruu gave me the that said the phone required a newer program version.
Did I screwed the phone or there is a solution?
Thank you in advance for your help and best regards
Issue Was solved downloading from T-MOBILE the updated ROM and executing the program

Nope, you're good.
As long as you can enter bootloader and it reads usb in the bottom corner, your wizard can be saved. Don't worry about active sync, it won't read. Get a stock rom from your provider...if Tmo, it is available on their website. Plug in the usb and get into the tri-color boot. Run the stock ruu. Do not let anything interfere with the process, so disable your screensaver, don't let cats or kids near the usb cord, etc (trust me on that one!). NBow flash the stock rom. It will take 10 minutes roughly, be patient, DO NOT unplug usb for any reason...let it flash and reboot. Once flashed, make sure you are cid/sim unlocked...use lokiwiz (read the sticky on unlocking). You cannot change roms from stock to custom without first unlocking. If you are already unlocked, once you have the stock rom re-installed, you can flash to a custom rom. The linky in my siggy explains in detail about reviving a "bricked" wizard.
Ok,
So I installed the T-mobile UK radio rom on my unlocked cingular HTC 8125 with a t-mobile sim. Upon reboot I get no phone service, it acts as though the phone is shut off but it's not. On bootup when it displays the IPL/SPL and OS and all that there was a line between the IPL / SPL lines and the OS line which used to have something on it, but now it's blank. Here's the worst part, it no longer recognizes on USB or under activesync, I tried to get it to work with bluetooth using a usb bluetooth adapter, but to no avail.
I need to know if there is anyway to get it working again, anyway at all to get it to connect or something so I can install a new radio rom on it.
Please help.
Help me too
I am in exactly the same predicament. I have spent days searching for a solution. Nthing so far. Anyone?

Well,only flashing a Radio Rom,never bricks a phone,cuz it doesn't include any IPL/SPL in it Its just a bad flash.Either,Try a Soft Reset or Hard Reset,if works fine,otherwise,get the phone in bootloaders (multicolor screen) and flash the cingular official Rom,it'll recover back. The phone doesn't get detected via usb or doesn't activesync if there's no working Rom (OS) on it,but if you are able to get to bootloaders and connect the phone via usb cable, a small usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders screen,it means it has established connectivity and you can flash a rom.
Secondly if the ohine is not SIM unlocked,it won't work with a T-mobile SIM,you'll have to get it sim unlocked if you plan to use a different sim and network.

Be a little more specific about the problem and remember to always post the version of the phone OR vital data of the phone to ask for an advise.
Cheers!
been done
yeah,
I've been able to get it into bootloaders, the usb pops up in the corner but when I try to flash a rom it it gives me a no phone connected type of error. which is really messed up because the first time I put it into bootloaders it worked, but I didn't use the official rom so the flashing didn't fix it.
If flashing the radio rom isn't supposed to brick it then well somehow mine is apparently the exception to the rule. Still gonna be working on it throughout today though, so any other suggestions?
I have a T-mobile MDA G3 U.S. and I had it unlocked and flashed with some custom ROM I don't remember. I got a Herald couple days ago so I gave it away to a friend. As requested by him, I flashed it with a Chinese wm6 rom. However, it turned out he wanted to use touch flo and stuff so we found another Chinese ROM with that and flashed it. During the flashing process, I noticed an unusual long waiting time after the progress bar got to 100%. After succeed, the ROM turned out to be the original Chinese ROM again. I figured there might be some problem with unlocking so I unlocked it with lokiwizard tool again, but this time it won't even lemme update the ROM! RUU tool said "Communication error". The problem turned out to be the phone cannot establish USB connection under 3 color mode(when I plug it in under 3-color, computer sounds like you plugged in a failed USB device). Now I can't even flash it with the original T-Mobile 2.26 WWE! I tried hard reset and everything but I still can't connect under 3-color mode. Though that ActiveSync worked fine. Please help me!
(Maybe I can, in some way, flash it without USB?)
You got to have usb working to flash,check if the usb cable is faulty or the mini usb port of the phone.Did you try with a different usb cable or on a different usb port of the pc,even you can try with some other pc.If the usb cable is faulty,replace it,but if its the mini usb port of the phone,it'll have to be either repaired or replaced.
There's no other possible method to flash a rom,the only other method which might be possible is through Sdcard backup rom using MTTY commands,but its only possible if you had already backed up the rom on a Sdcard and the phone is already CID unlocked.
I tried replacing two more USB cables and on a different computer, still no luck.
Wierd thing is, I have USB working under ActiveSync, but not in 3-color mode. I don't know much about how the phone works but I figured the 3-color mode might be a part of SPL? And somehow I've damaged it. The phone still works fine, plus ActiveSync. It's just I can't flash it anymore.
thanks to zabardast,
it turned out to be I had tried with 2 faulty cables... =/
Well I'm still stuck with this ROM, I used lokiwiz03a to unlock my phone and it worked fine(IPL/SPL 2.26). When I was using RUU to flash it, I still have the same problem. Nothing was flashed, nothing happened. What should I do?

Click to collapse
Download WST_4.2.2 tool and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID lock/unlock status of the phone and proceed further,you need to use lokiwiz02b to work on G3 device for CID unlocking and not lokiwiz03a.
Secondly, Hard Reset the phone,it might be that Extended_Rom has got corrupted and download the official carrier's rom and flash it to recover back to its default working status and than go further.
ok, i got a att 8525 with herm100 ipl-1.03 & spl-1.11, currently its not booting up because of a failed attempt at installing crc r13.3, i can get it to the tri-color screen, but i can't get it to connect to activesync, it is getting recognized by the other ruu rom flashers but after it goes to 1%, the phone reboots, and i can't get past that even with tryin to flash a factory rom.
there anyway to unbrick my phone?! i've tried a couple of the ways i've found from searching but none seem to work, my pc is running vista but i also have xp on vmware if needed.
well i finally got the factory rom flashed, and now its working again!, i don't know how it happened, it just......happened.
So i was attempting to flash my trophy with a stock rom to correct some software issues i was having
When i did, it stopped at 12% and gave an error 266 Flash Error
I have created a Gold Card to try to unbrand the phone and reflash it but i cannot get the phone to reset into usb host mode
It will flash htc and then go straight to the tricolor menu almost instantly.
Any help would be appreciated!

worked fine, guess it was just a matter of finding the correct update for the phone, thought the other verizon ones were the correct but i guess they were not
