if you seriously need to get into bootloader, i suppose you could try incompletely flashing a rom (start it up then unplug it), which usually throws mine into bootloader.

Hello!
I want to upgrade my MDA. So I wanted to check out the BootLoader of my devcie. When I press the on/off button and hold it while pressing the left reset, the screen stays empty and nothing happens. If I let the power button go, then it performs a normal boot.
Can anyone help me?
I dont whant to make an 'EXE'-Upgrade...
Never tried it myself, but there is a tool from the Developers here to fix the bootloader.

Seach a little bit here around....

If indeed there is no bootloader I would suggest you definitely get that fixed before attempting any rom upgrade otherwise you could end up with a paperweight rather than a pda/phone.
This sentence with the 'paperweight' is written many times here! :lol:
But no risk, no fun... or?
I will try to fix the bootloader and I will write here again about the success...
Thank you for the answers,

I just used the XDA-Tools to restore my bootloader.
I never killed it, but it wasn't there!
So I choose to fix it. It worked! Great Job!
I had a SD-Card prblem till now. Everytime I inserted a card my device makes a reset. Some research found that one of the pins in the slot were bended. I opened the MDA and fixed the Pin.
Tomorrow I will check if sd cards are working now!
If yes, then I will move to a newer ROM and from 2002 to 2003!
Thank U guys!
See ya...

..Yes i have tried a hard reset still no success...could you please explain to me what "installing Buttons 1.5 ROM at bootloader" mean? i am a noobie in these things really..
sure...first tell me if u have a G3 or G4 Wizard...and is it CID unlocked? you must be CID unlocked to perform any custom ROM modifications...

It must be a G3 Wizard (not really sure)because it came in as a XDA MINI S from O2 and at the splash screen it has this info: IPL:1.05 SPL:1.06 GSM: 01.01.10 OS:1.1.9.3 after flashing with Xda_minis_LaunchRom_v154102_2. i am not sure about CID unlock but i am using a different network other than O2. it was shipped with windows mobile 5.0...
a G4 PDA will report an IPL and SPL similar to 2.21.0001 and a G3 PDA will report something similar to 2.21 (notice the G3 doesn't have the trailing .0001!)

go to the above link and CID unlock your device just to be on the safe side...as for going into the bootloader, u can do this by keeping the Camera button pressed, and pressing the softreset button..then u will go into a colored screen(red,green,blue,white)which will show your IPL/SPL...once u are in that screen, go ahead and connect it to your computer(via USB) and u will notice on ur device, it will show USB on the bottom...then u can proceed with the guide to CID unlock your phone...let me know how it goes!! =)
Hi i installed the buttons rom like you suggested but it still hangs at the splash screen(beer jug)with this info IPL:1.01 SPL:1.06 GSM:01.12.10 OS:1.5.4.2. activesync does not recognize the pda in "hang mode" for me to be able to try CID unlocking...so where do i go from here ? please help...
oo wow...umm gosh im out all of ideas...i dont know what else to suggest, ive never heard of this type of problem....sorry!

So does it mean my fon is bricked or what? or could it be a hardware problem?
ummm i dont think its bricked, if it was, you wouldnt be able to get into the bootloader...im sure theres a solution to the problem, i just dont know it because ive never seen this type of case before, im fairly new to the MDA...i started modifying my wizard less than 2-3 months ago

..Well thanx for all the help,i will let you know if anything comes up..
ok so i hit the side ok key and the other side button...put the stylus in and nothing but a soft reset....i prob shouldnt be trying to use a custom rom if i cant even get into bootloader mode huh lol?
Did you HOLD the OK and PWR buttons while using the stylus to hit the reset button? You were suppposed to...
i tried it with the power button then the side ok button and stylus..no luck
then i tried power...ok softkey....stylus.....no luck
im not too bright so bear with me lol
plus im running vista so this may not be the safest thing for me to do
TNT.1921 Series (Official/Professional) OS 5.2.1921 the newest OS is the rom i really wanna use for my titan but i dont wanna brick it or ill be doneeee
You press and hold the side OK button FIRST (it's nearest the jog wheel), keep holding it, and press the PWR button, keep holding BOTH of them and reset with the stylus...if that doesn't work, you have defective hardware
grrr just soft resets and brings up the splash screen...
i just updated my rom with the new htc release could that be causing the problem?
Find SoftSPL here in the forum. Download that and copy it to your PDA, then run it on your Hermes - it will switch your phone to bootloader mode!
I do not think that you have faulty hardware, I think you're not doing it correctly!
Hold OK + Power at the same time, keep holding those to buttons when soft-resetting your device even after you release the soft reset button ... go on keep holding those buttons until your device switches to the 3-colored screen!
If you fail and your device starts normally just keep holding the buttons and stick your stylus in the RESET whole again! Do it until you succeed! It is not that hard!
BTW: Why are you trying to set your device in bootloader mode? If your device is not yet CID / SIM unlocked you can flash only ROMs from your current provider! If it is already CID unlocked then you still can proceed flashing even without switching to bootloader mode - the ROM UPGRADE UTILITY will switch your phone to bootloader mode automatically anyway!
lol i have no clue im just trying to follow the directions so i dont brick my mogul...so your saying i can just run this and itll install on my mogul without any bricking going on?

If you follow the instructions exactly step-by-step it is unlikely that you brick your device! However, I am not going to motivate you to flash your device and I also will not take over responsibility in case you do! There is always a chance that something goes wrong, such as a computer crash in the middle of flashing and so on ...
The question is: Do you need to flash your device?
What ROM are you running now? What do you expect from flashing your device? What ROM are you going to flash? (This questions are important because if you only upgrade your network providers ROM then you do not need to SoftSPL nor HardSPL your device. In case you want to flash the ROM image of another network provider or custom build ROM then SoftSPL / HardSPL is required!)
So, you should answer yourself this questions first because this will guide you in the right direction ... !
well to tell you the truth i like to make changes. ive had all the treos from 600 up to present...never had an htc device. but i like change. and id like to be able to use these custom roms. im pretty familiar with pda related techs but when it comes to this im clueless. maybe im not a htc person im really just waiting till the new treo comes out to get rid of my mogul but if it showed me some power id keep it.
i just updated to the new htc stock rom but i have nothing else..and for some reason i cant get into bootloader mode. i d/led the rom i want should i just install it and see whhat happens?
i have a extra phone to use but i dont wanna brick my moguk
sorry about the typing im hella tipsy watchin the cowboys game!
thanks for all the help though!
Oh, NOW he tells us he is using a Mogul. DUH! This is the HERMES section bro. On the Mogul I believe you just hit power, camera and the reset button at the same time and you'll get to the 3 color bootloader screen. I wouldn't try to flash a HERMES rom or Bootloader on a Mogul young man...
lol crazy! could you point me in the right area then? i thought the mogul was a.k.a hermes aka tytan? they look the same thats why i figured they were.
ha i shouldve scrolled down the main page a bit more....meet me over there and help me out =)
Tytn = Hermes, Titan = Mogul, not the same unit, not the same hardware, not the same rom, not the same bootloader, not the same unlocking procedure...

Ok press the backlight button and power button.. and after that press reset button but still holding both buttons ( backlight & power)... try it few times and you'll succeed... and one more think press the backlight button only and power button only to check if they are working correctly or not ....
Cheers
