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

PLEASE help me
tell me which it the right rom to chose? step by step procedure..
how to rectify imei?
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...
First of All, I am Noob for all this flash phone stuff~~
I was using A-Unlocker last night on my Athena, however the phone got f**ked up
I was able to finish the Step 1 "Flash SPL". After I done with Step 1, here is I got from bootloader 3 Color Screen
ATHE 100
IPL-V1.00
ATHE100
SPL-V1.20. Olipro
and it unlocked Step 2 "Unlock Radio"
after the Step 2 there was a Notice popped up "Your Device must now be unlocked with a program, please configure your device and then connect and sync with Activesync. after doing so, click OK and watch your device screen"
and My phone stop at HTC loading screen, not able to boot to "Window Mobile" system. I did reset phone many times but didn't work.
Please Help Me Out here~~ Tyvm
p.s: I can still boot the phone to bootloader 3 Color Screen
please help me
Your device is okay. You can already proceed to flashing any ROM that is desgined for SPL 1.2. If you want just a good looking ROM, you might want to try PK3.0 ROM. If you want WM6.1, try irus ROM.
If I'm you, I'll skip any rom that uses SPL3.5 for the time being until you're sure there is a mean to come back to SPL 1.2. This mean you should skip AP4.0 for the time being.
To flash one of the SPL1.2 based ROM, remove your storage cards and SIM cards, and ensure your battery is close to full. Then get into Bootloader mode (by pressing down the Camera and poke into the reset hole - hold it down for a good few seconds until you see the tr-colored screen). Then connect your cable until you see USB on the device screen. Then on your PC, start the RomUpdateUtility program and follow the instruction on the PC.
Good luck.
Thx, man! U Rock!!

Why would you want the country code for taiwan? You dont need it when flashing another ROM.

Its not very hard to be honest
You must flash HardSPL first to be able to flash any rom and hardspl will work for blac100 and blac120
More info and instruction about HardSPL
Tips about flashing the rom
Use fully charged device
* Switch off your device by holding the Power button untill a menu pops up
* Go to bootloader by holding Volume down + Power button at the same time
* Connect your device to your PC
* Start BlackStoneCustomRUU.exe and follow the onscreen instruction's
There are countless ROM's out there and everyone has different tastes so there is no point asking any questions on which is better etc etc etc.
I am curretnly using Duttys 2.3 rom and would recommned it or Laurentius26 V9.0
Hope this helps!
Laurentius26
I got mine from hong Kong when I was there in Feb, it was in chinese too. then I went to the wiki page, downloaded the Hard SPL, once that was done I just picked any ROM on the wiki page, I chose Dutty 1.7 at the time. copied the NBH file to the root of the SD card, made sure the name of the NBH file was BLACIMG.nbh and then used restarted the device with the key presses mentioned in the wiki and flashed it to english. MAKE sure you have at least 50% charge before you start.
the WWE versions are the english roms. I believe its mentioned in the wiki too.
Since then I've maybe flashed like 10 or more times and tried different roms. it doesn't matter which rom you pick. its a matter of personal preference. just take the time to read the wiki in detail and you'll be fine.
if you are getting a retail touch HD it will come with an 8GB SDHC micro SD and the usual accessories.
as of now I'm on dutty's 2.3

Instructions
Download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder.
Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex.zip
You must Have Phone Sync'd with PC in Windows Mobile!!!
Run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on PC,
make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.).
if you are on vista, launching as Administrator is recommended,
Follow steps in the RUU
check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar
press Yes on phone if asked.
Some notes: When RUU says it will hard reset, do not worry, it is not going to do that. also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes, ignore that, it will only take a minute or so.
Device should go to a tricolour screen now that says 1.07.OliNex, the SSPL version, which is temporary.
In a bit unusual way, it will take a few seconds for the RUU to detect the device, but do not worry, as soon as the "USB" text on the tricolour screen shows up, RUU will see device.
SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
To confirm you got it installed,
go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) (Switch off your device by holding the Power button untill a menu pops up > Go to bootloader by holding Volume down + Power button at the same time)
verify the screen shows 1.14.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.
I just got my Touch HD over the weekend and I used USPL so that I don't void the warranty:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462347
However, you need to have XP. Tried it on Vista but not successful. Luckily I had an old XP laptop stuffed away somewhere

oh really?
when it says
"Execute blac_uspl.exe;" do i just find the file ont he computer and double click it? or do i have to like install it using the phone?
and " If everything goes well, your device will restart and SPL version label should read "1.14.USPL" indicating that USPL was loaded successfully."
once that is done then... am i done?
this next part is when i want to flash a rom right?
("You can then start RUU update to flash RUU_signed.nbh. Once RUU update is completed, device will restart using regular flashed SPL.
If you want to flash from SD card instead, make sure your SD card is not inserted when you enter the bootloader originally.
SPL will try to install it and would fail if blacimg.nbh is not signed by HTC. Insert the card after "USB" label comes up in SPL but before running USPL.
You can run "blac_uspl.exe ?" to get command line parameter help. Only 1 parameter is accepted and that is the name of an SPL file you want to load. You can load an MFG SPL or HSPL. USPL automatically takes care of allowing unsigned/cooked ROM flashing with any SPL you use.")
man. i dont have XP
thers no way on vista?
thanks for the inconvenience.

Yes, you need phone sync'd to pc using your usb cable before running HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe?
What I mean by local drive is your C:/ drive or local disk and not by using other drives you may have i.e. G:/, H:/, J:/ etc
When you run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe a screen will appear on your pc and it will have these steps on it for you to follow. i.e. just follow these steps

( do i put it in bootloader mode?)

Yes you need to extract it from zip as it will not run from within zip folder
Personally I ran it just from the desktop, i.e. I put HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on my desktop
when you have your phone connected and in bootloader mode at the bottom on the screen it should say 'usb'.
then launch HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe, follow steps, then your done.
As I said put phone back into bootloader mode afterwards and verify the screen shows 1.14.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.
i was tryin to install the latest nfsfan 6.5 rom and i followed everything and i got to here:
READ the hell outta it until you have it step by step.
(BTW use the 2.31 unlocker regardless about the GPS thing)
OK, now that you've read that (happy dance time)
Download the 2.31 Unlocker and NFSFANs WinMO 6.5 ROM.
And make sure to download one of the DCD Carrier cabs here
and copy it to your SD card as you may need this after the flashing is done.
(will get back to this tasty morsel later)
OK, now you have an Unlocker and a ROM - now what, hmmmm
Use WinRAR and extract both the files into separate folders,
Press and hold the Power button+Camera Button and Stylus in the reset hole
until the 3 color screen comes up and it says serial,
now plug in your cable and it should change to USB.
Can you taste the rainbow and it is over the land of USB??
Great, now go into the Unlocker folder you created
and doubleclick on the RomUpdateUtility.exe
(going to be called RUU.exe from this point on).
Follow the steps on the desktop monitor.
(You might get some errors about sleep4.exe - dont worry about it)
Just keep hitting enter and it will go away after the 4th or so time.
At some point the program is going to tell you to disconnect the phone,
sounds scary doesn't it, losing the connection and all - dont be,
be a brave little soldier and disconnect it and count to 10,
cant do that, get some help in getting there,
its really that important LOL once you (or your friend)
gets to 10 plug it back in, does it say USB again? good!!
happy dance AFTER you hit a key on the keyboard per the on screen directions.
It's going to eventually reboot, let it and it will be unlocked,
let it start up and do its thing, when its done - go ahead and go back into bootloader mode again
(remember power+camera+stylus twister move you did earlier, its back to that again)
with the cable disconnected and it had better say SERIAL again..
now go ahead and plug in the cable and it should change to USB.
Now go into the ROM folder and double click the RUU.exe here ...
and follow the directions that come up on the screen...
Once its done and the phone reboots, wait...
wait some more..
still keep waiting..
no not yet ...
stop touching it..
it wont help pacing..
just be patient... <---
and its not doing anything..how long does it take?
am i doing something wrong?? PLEASE HELP!

OK, as it was I that wrote that up Ill try and help you out as well see I really am a nice guy, dont let them haters tell ya different LOL
If youve waited 10 minutes, it aint going to do anything BUT you have flashed it successfully (congrats and another chorus of happy happy dance) so we have 2 options here
1) hard reset the phone (red button + green button + stylus in reset hole
hold this until the screen turns gray and has some instructions for you
follow those instructions
or
2) flash the phone again - it has been recommended by others that shall remain nameless (CODY BERE is a hint LOL) that flashing to an original stock ROM helps also making sure you have a radio of 3.42.30 or higher can be a positive as well
Hope that helps and we will overcome .. oh wait .. different problem and solution LOL

Hey guys, I was trying to use uspl following this thread, but something isn't working right. The start_uspl.exe program loads fine but I don't see a progress bar in my device, only on the PC. When it finishes, a little image of tux comes up for about 1-2 seconds with some green text and then I get a black screen. Sometimes I get this.

perhaps you forgot to install enable rapi.cab on the device before doing the flash uspl !
I did install both of the .cabs, although I can't see them in the installed programs, or any record that they were installed correctly. Would upgrading my phone to WM6 solve the problem? I have WM5 right now.
@grimmreapervi
1) no need to open a new thread for a question that is relating to my thread, ya should just posted on my thread, that way i woulda been able to help you asap
2) the .cabs you install wont be shown in the installed programs
3) if your SPL is 1.12.0000 then USPL is not done
4a) you need to hard reset your device
4b) install those 2.cabs (cert & rapi)
4c) run Start_Uspl.exe on pc
4d) after tux picture, wait a few mins and then click through the RUU
5) if RUU fails on 1+% or SPL is 1.12.0000 then redo (4abcd)
6) do not try and install a new Rom if SPL is not 1.11.CMON - you might break your device
*) if you get stuck, just private message me dude, ill be happy to walk you through it
