My son dropped his 8525. It is now stuck on a display of red, green, blue, and white bars. A reset and a battery removal do nothing to get it to boot. Is it toast or is there something I can do to get it to boot?
considering this is your 1st post I'm assuming that you didnt have olipro 2.10 as your SPL.....What is your IPL and SPL as this may get you the help you are looking for... And if you do get it going again PLEASE install Hard SPL, Here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Good luck.
P.S. try reading through this, it may help... : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369434
The IPL:
IPL-1.04
The SPL:
SPL-2.03
I hope this helps someone.
Someone said they had success with this problem in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355884
Read a bit and see if it works but please understand that this really just trying out everything in a last ditch effort to get it working. There may be no hope, so no promises...
If you do manage to get it going again I'd suggest Hard SPLing your phone so it is easier to fix. Hard SPL isn't a guarantee, mind, but it does provide a safety net for when things like this happen...
All the best...
hermes 100 8525 flash problem
hi, i was trying to upgrade a cingular 8525 in the process of unlock,
and it stopped at 1%, and did nothing,
now the phone just go to the 3 color screen,
and says
herm100
ipl-1.00
hem100
spl-1.40.olipro,
what can i do to restore it to normal please,
lacasapc, try to Hard Reset, hold down both soft keys and reset with stylus. If that doesn't work then try this : Flash it to you device while it in tricolour screen. Make sure that your activesync disable & use the latest RUUwrapper.
Open Activesync, select connection settings and untick "Allow USB Connections".
Run the RUUwrapper.exe file for the os you want after connecting the hermes via usb. Chose SPL 1.40 then HARD SPL and then flash the new OS. This should work.
Cheers...

Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but i could not find an answer for this in this section or general section -- The problem is this i upgraded to wm6 from wm2003 and everything was fine then it started it freeze ocationally so i thought i'd give it a hard reset as ther was no where in the tutorial that said that after flashing you could not hard reset now the phone is stuck on the O2 screen where the IPL & SPL are displayed
IPL=1.00 &
SPL=1.01.0109 &
GSM=0.3.28.60
I know the IPL/SPL were at 2.61 before that
Can anyone tell me how to get out of this or is the phone now bricked?
Yes, you cant hard reset because the htccoldboot.dll is not there, its not brick, you got the right SPL, just reflash again, refer to my guide on my siggy
Thanks
great that worked out fine gave me a scare - now it's all back up and runnung apart from the camera
For those stuck with this same problem, please re-flash starting from step 7 of karhoe's instructions to upgrade to WM6.
After installing a few applications and having to reboot, my SMT5600 would not connect via ActiveSync, nor show any network carrier and none of the menu keys worked (Start & Contacts). While troubleshooting I browsed to a forum suggesting I try a hard reset.
Never got a proper hard reset and ended up stuck at the initial screen showing the IPL / SPL / HIVE and Partition info.
Followed karhoe's step 7, with phone turned off, held camera button down and plugged in USB cable. Followed remaining instructions.
Note: the "type 'l c:/os.bin' " step is done in the mtty.exe screen that pops up (and not on your PC's command prompt ).
Thanks karhoe,
Good luck to everyone,
Jawad
I need some help!
I have a dopod C800. I have tried upgrading but have run into some difficulty.
The PDA will not go past the tricolor boot loader screen. The only writing is as follows. In the Red section.
RUU
IPL 1.09.0001
SPL 1.09.0001
I cannot get the Active Sync to go green (connect) but I know my computer can see the device as i get a sound when i plug the USB cable in.
Can help me and advise what I can do? I think i might have tried to HArd SPL.
Need help to unbricked herald
i have the same exact problem. some people say the phone is bricked.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES
i found this link, that shows that hermes can be fixed. Is there any justice or expert guru to get our phone unbricked
I went try to repair it and they say i gotta change the motherboard aka the machine. i was like ^&* since it cost $400, might as well by a new phone.
I'm sorry that my first post in this forum is about a disaster, but i have a serious problem...
I tried to upgrade my MDA vario to wm6 using shelltool. During the process, the M$ XP hanged => one mistake led to another => i now have a very nice silver brick!
When powered, shows IPL 2.21.0001 , SPL 2.21.0lip , GSM 02.25.11 but no OS => it remains hanged...
Of course in this state it cannot connect with M$ ActiveSync, so it seems that my hands are tied....
After a hard reset (2buttons+reset), i see the screen with 4 colors (RGBW) and IPL 2.21.0001 / SPL 2.21.0lip (No GSM). If i connect the USB cable at this screen, the connect sound is heard from PC speakers, and i see the word USB on the lower left corner.
Is there any possibility that the device can be recovered?
If i go to HTC/QTEK service, can they restore the device to a working condition?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I really like this phone, and i don't want to buy iPhone!
maybe the wicki can help.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
Everything OK!
I made me some coffee, and did some reading for a few hours.
By pressing Photo Button+Power button, the phone starts in bootloader screen (RGBW). Then, i installed Wizzard Love ROM, which seems to be working fine!
I don't know who made this ROM, but he/she has my many thanks!
Thanks for the tip open_source!
This could all been avoided if you hadn't used ShellTool with a HardSPL'ed phone.
It's not reasonable to have a phone in an pseudo-unlocked state that can accept any 'SPL-safe' ROM with official updater tools (RUU) and still upgrade it with a method that isn't very safe and that was created when HardSPL and SoftSPL didn't exist.
Please be careful as these equipments are sensible and expensive and a thorough reading can avoid a lot of headaches

Help.
I have a Wizard G4 and I tried to install a WM6.5 ROM (TechTeamup Mega Wizard rom) from the default WM5. I did not put in the hard-spl (as I now read) before I tried to flash. Now when it boots, I go strait to the flash screen (tri-color) screen. I tried ot run the hard-spl-G4 and it says it cannot find a device. I have tried to re-flash back to WM5 ROMs that I have found, however it says it cannont complete "ERROR 296: UPGRADE ONLY, which makes me belive I need a G4 Wizard ROM that is a full (not upgrade). What steps should I take now to revert back to a WM5 so I can re-try the "unlock" hard-spl proceedure to make the phone WM6 compatible?
Anyone have any suggestions?

Download the original ship ROM for your phone.
Turn the phone off.
Press and hold the Camera key, now insert the USB cable, Keep holding the camera key until you get the boot loader screen.
Now run the ROM update to flash back to WM5.

Please help...anyone..
IF u can enter bootloader...connect to pc...u shud c "USB" written in the left bottom corner ...then flash a rom as usual
First of all I am so sorry to bother you all!!!, as I can see from 3 days of non stop reading here and e;sewhere, its not always liked to ask questions, but I am sorry I really need help!
I bought a 8125 cingular from eBay (bought a x01ht but it hasnt arrived)
I have read seriously so much I am now confused! But I have tried to research this 100%
when I got the phone yesterday, I first sim unlocked it with the "All HTC" unlocker.. then I used unlock ext rom wizard, and Likiwiz02 for the cid.. I did see it say "your phone is superCID" unlocked or what ever...
I then tried to flash with x2h_wm 6.5 and it went through the steps like it should and finished and said your rom is updated, BUT when the phone rebooted, it was like it went DOWN not up.. I lost alot of things and now it said G not E for network, I had less signal, and had the roaming Icon. Well, after that My XP computer would no longer recognize the device.. I would plug it in and it would charge, and the active sync tries to connect but after a few minutes it says it can not connect.
I am able to "sometimes" connect top my Vista" device, BUT I have not yet mastered being able to flash a rom with Vista... as I always get RUU is closing, because of error.. and it leaves my phone in bootloader RUU mode, so i have to reset it. I have tried the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723 and One time I was able to get pretty far without an errors from RUU, but it said I needed a newer version.. or something, and after that I am unable to do it do any RUU on vista, although most of the time I can get it to connect by going to the services- and restarting wm 2003 thing"
This is the details of my device (and yes I know is a G3)
IPL & SPL :2.25
gsn: 02.25.11
os: 2.25.11.1
Ext Rom: 2.25.11.102
Radio: 02.25.11
Rom 2.25.11.1 WWE (build 14928.2.2.0)
protocol ver: 4.1.13.12
My question is.. What am I doing wrong? How can I get either XP to connect, or Vista to run RUU?
Can I flash by sd card.. ( I have seen both yes and no, and am confused on how to do it)
Tweeks I have done is installed a cab to remove roaming icon, reg. changed the G to E for Edge... Speed it up bu changing mem. and I think that's pretty much it!
Scream at me and call me stupid, BUT Please help me.. There are 10000000000000 different HOW TO all over the place, and all are different, and I really just would like a little PERSONAL help from someone..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
Tony
Also.. On the Activesync issue.. I have uninstalled and delete all tracers on my xp laptop and reinstalled both the newest version , and when it did the same, I uninstalled and reinstalled an older version... Still the same!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
best thing is to start with reading the wiki
Read it over and over...
I am not just saying it when I say I have searched and searched!
UPDATE
Although I received no answers, I thought I would upddate... I am so embarrassed, as the active sync was an easy fix.. (disable Firewall) I cannot believe it is that simple, as it was working fine before with firewall..
Ok I am following the instructions now flashing with XP button rom, etc etc.. Will follow up later!
Ok progress!
Well, I was able to flash to phone to button rom, and then CID unlock it with lokiwiz, but My IPL and SPL are different. SO i flashed button rom again, and its still the same... Can I go ahead and flash back up, or what do I need to do?

Sorry for posting so much.. and thanks for the help!
I have flashed to T mobile 2.26.10.2 , IPL/SDL are both 3.08 And I have tried several times to go beyond WM5.0 but It never loads.. Any advice...
Thanks
Connect the phone to the PC and run Wizard Service Tool and press Enab. RAPI + Unsigned Apps button.
Then press CID Actions Button and Read CID block, this will tell you if your CID unlocked.
Well, I will try that, BUT I am assuming since I have a Tmobile ROM on a ATT phone its no longer unlocked???
When I ran the unlocker it said it was now SuperCID unlocked or whatever..
I will do the Service tools and see.. and Post back soon! THANKS
It is locked!
OK.. I ran the tools and it said it was CID locked... this was the results (not sure if usefull or not)
Checksum : fb67d2a2
CID: WIZCNG01
Its funny because when I ran the other lokiwiz it said it was unlocked..
I tried to unlock it and it said downgrade SPL to 1.06 or less.. AND thats the problem... When I Loaded Button rom the 4 different times I have had to flash it.. THE SPL never changes down.. One time I flashed it, I repeated it 3 times as per some instructions i seen that if you flash it again it will change.. NOPE did not change, the IPL always changes, BUT SPL stays the same.. SO If I flash again, this is the results SPL 3.08 IPL 1.01
Can anyone help me .. maybe use a diffrent rom instead of button?
HELP PLEASE!
THANKS
Have you tried to go back to the original ROM?
Problem solved
I am still tinkering, and adding patches now... BUT I was able to get wm6.5 (VERY SLOW ON MY WIZARD) so I went back to button rom, and installed XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 ROM, and I LOVE IT!!! like I said I am still adding stuff and playing with it, but so far its better than WM6 I have on my Cheetah (treo750)...
I will add the steps I took , and trial and error steps, so other people that are impatient and ask questions like I did, will know what to do.,.. BUT let me play with my new toy for a while!!!
One question.. Should I stay with IPL/SPL 2.26? Or should I go back up to 3.08 or ?????
Thanks
