hello guys, i'm really desperate now. my Magician is dead. i followed the laid out procedure 100% for upgrading to bigstorage. that's what i did:
- dump rom on to the sd card (512MB).
- got a external card reader (since the one in my laptop did not work with ntrw.exe)
- killed ActiveSync (wcesmgr)
- dumped the rom to my hard disk
- got Big_ROM_Ger_1.11.nb1 from ftp
- changed the first 416 bytes with ultraedit.
- wrote the resulting rom to the sd card with ntrw.exe.
- flashed (got the question in bootloader mode, pressed power).
- flash completed, got the 100% message and checksum failure.
- did a softreset
- my Magician is now DEAD !!!
Tried to put it in bootloader mode again, nothing! Put out the battery, unplugged and replugged usb cable, nothing!
PLEASE, any suggestions or help ??????
Please explain "nothing." Are you getting anything on the screen, blank screen, backlit, logo, text, anything?
Can you zip and upload your modified ROM dump file to dropload, rapidshare, or some other portal where someone can take a look?
Did you pull the battery completely, reinsert it, and pressed the reset+camera+power to get back into the bootloader?

the screen is absolutely blank. if i plug in the power cord not even the charging lamp is on.
i removed the battery completely for a few hours now, reinserted it just that moment and pressed reset + camera + power --> blank screen, no backlit, no logo, no text. i even used my torch to make sure i didn't miss the bootloader message. nothing.
when i press the reset + camera + power button the blue led blinks for a split second but then again nothing.
tried it with and without external power....
any clue????
rom i used

well, could be possible.... kinda teaches me not to mess around too much. i flashed my old xda II with magneto and all, never had any problems....
anyway, i will try to clear the backup battery over night and try it again tomorrow. if it still doesn't work, i'll get it back to the shop. it's brand new (2 weeks), so i guess (hope) it shouldn't be a problem.
No solution - but I had the same problem
Hello,
sounds that you have exactly the same problem I had. I also wanted to use bigstorage. First I updated to 1.06 official rom from T-mobile Germany. Then I used mksbigstorage to modify this rom. After installing this my mda was stuck at the splashscreen. But the bootloader still worked so I was able to restore my original rom.
Next I downloaded the 1.11 extended german rom from xda-developers ftp-server. I also replaced the first 416 bytes with the one from my rom. After installing this rom and doing a softreset my device was completely dead. No bootloader, no even a blinking light when connecting it with the power supply. I also tried to remove the battery for some time. But nothing worked. As I also had this device for just some days I finally did send it back and recieved a new one.
On this new one I also tried to modify rom 1.06 with mksbigstorage. But after that it was again stuck at the splash-screen. Mksbigstore seems not to work on this rom. Finally I was able to use bigstore by modifying two adresses in the original 1.06 rom downloaded from my device. This method is described in this forum. Worked without problems.
So I do not know what went wrong and I am sure I followed the instructions for flashing bigrom exactly, but as I am not the only one with this problem there is a risk flashing under certain circumstances.

I had the same problem flashed XDA 1 hundreds of times without problem. Flashed Magician device one time --> same problem as you have.
I've sent my device to repair center and they installed a new motherboard. So i don't believe that tehre is any fix to relive you're device..... :-(

I don't see anything wrong with the ROM file except for the fact that it's slightly larger than my ROM (65281k vs. 65427k). May have been a bad write to the SD card. Was your card a 64MB SD card?

On Monday I'll send it to the service center

Thanks for your response, kinda reduces my pain and asures me that I'm not a complete idiot....
I'm now pretty sure that I have the same problem as you have and that sending it to the service center is my only option....
At least I can use my Himalya with Magneto a few more days :wink:
I guess I will not try this again since I don't want to risk killing it again, allthough I allready had problems with the storage size on the working device (tomtom).
One more question: Did anybody ever had problems on upgrading from a t-mobile rom to a vodafone rom? is it even worth upgrading to 1.12?
Thanks for your help guys!!!

Same happened to one of our units here.
Needed a trip to the service. ALWAYS take out SIM card and miniSD card out when flashing, they're known to cause random f***ups.

hi
i had similar problem but before any one can help you u have to tell us in what state exactly your device is and try to get it in to bootloader before we can help first thing is you want to check in bootloader is that if your device is hard spl (if yes then you can flash it with any rom)
the eiset way to do it is Rename the .NBH file to ATHEIMG.nbh and copy it to your miniSD card. Press camera+com manager+soft reset to bootloader and wait for reading ATHEIMG.nbh from SD. Remember, the miniSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem before copying the file ATHEIMG.nbh to your miniSD.
u can use any (athena rom ) as long as it is hard spl other wise if not sure or any doubt use your ship rom (nbh file)
hope this helps
need experts guidence
hi @all
i also got one 7500 for repair, client told me while CID unlocking communications breaks and AMEO is DEAD.

Battery is charged with 3.77vDC
Red ring comes for a sec only try to RESET the device with Charger connected
Red ring also visible as long as Battery is not in the Phone and Charger is connected.
IS THERE ANY HOPE TO REVIVE IT
TIA

well after much reassurance that it was pretty foolproof...my advantage appears bricked! i download olipros athenaunlocker.zip and extracted the exe file. followed all the steps and directions, the first part went flawlessly, flash spl without a hitch, then it came back to the second step, i went to unlock the radio, advantage was in a white screen with loading..... on it. and i get an error message that there is no connection to the pda...would i like to try reconnecting.... it would not reconnect for anything, for one activesync was now not connected, and i am 100% sure it was when i clicked step 2 to unlock the radio. had to pull battery on advantage to get it shut down, no buttons would work. now i hit power button and the lights turn green, but nothing further. The athena unlocker program is waiting at step 3 on my computer, but i cannot get my advantage to boot up at all, so i cant get a valid connection to either restart the process, or continue with step 3...please help! I consider myself very computer literate, just not specifically with cell phones.
tried hard reset
i tried a hard reset, and it came up with the rgb lines, and then it asked me if i wished to do the hard reset, which i said yes, then it asked to format the microdrive, and i said yes. It then said to hit the power button to reboot the machine, i tried and it just rebooted with black screen and the green light on the jog stick.......need some advice on what to do next...please help
sorry for so many replys but i just wanna give all the possible information...i think i got into the bootloader, but i have no idea, i pushed reset, camera and comm manager and got the rgb lines, and it says this
Athe100
IPL-v2.02
Athe100
SPL-v1.20.Olipro
Thats what I got, when i plug in usb connection it changes text at the bottom from serial to usb, and then back to serial when i unplug the usb cable, but i cannot get an activesync connection.....please advice as to if I should restart the athena unlocker, or what I should do now that im at this screen.

Looks like you have already unlocked. I can see Olipro's name your your screen. This mean you device is still okay. Once you're in the bootloader mode, I believe the next thing you have to do is simply connect the usb cable and run the Rom Update Utility on the desktop. That's it.
if the status changes to usb on connection then you should be fine. connect the handset in bootloader mode and wait a few seconds, then run pk's black rom. because your spl has evidently been pached you should have no problems unbricking your phone. let us know how it goes, and don't panic!
Thanks for the reply eaglesteve (edit and Leoni)...now just to be sure, currently, my athena unlocker program ( 3 part ) is resting still on waiting for the 3rd part, flashing the radio. now step 2, which was unlock radio gave me the error, so do i just continue with part 3 flash radio, or are you saying that it appears that part is done? Or should i just start with PK's rom next? as i type im still downloading pk's dual rom right now

the spl is patched, you're just not unlocked. if unlocking is not a concern then you should be ok just installing black touch. the problem you experienced is not uncommon and should you choose to run the unlocker again to finish the unlock fully you shouldnt have any problems. it might be wise to do this at some point just to make sure there are no problems with your radio.
edit - make sure that there is no memory card inserted in your device, this has been rumoured to cause issues when flashing. the same thing happened to me as happened to you, but since your device is now hard spl it is almost unbrickable, so fear not.
completed download of pk's rom, just a couple questions Bootloader mode is when you see olipros name and spl version with rgb lines right? In the zip file I have 4 exe files, enterbootloader, rapitool, romupdateutility, and ruugetinfo. Is there an order to running them? I would imagine they are all files to be ran from your PC, and not the advantage right? Just wanna get the steps right because i dont see any directions as far as completing the flash to pk's rom

I seem to recall that Olipro does not affect the radio ROM, and that if you see his signature on the bootloader, then you're fine. The radio upgrade is separately done - you can do it after the PK ROM flashing. If you're going for to flash a radio, you can download the files from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319993
Flashing the radio follows the same step. ie. get into bootloader, connect the usb, then run the RUU (RomUpdateUtility) on the PC.
run the rom update utility. everything else is initiated by that. and yes, make sure your device has the tri colour screen - red green blue - and says usb. you'll be fine my friend.

I think Leoni means it is not SIM unlocked. You don't need to be sim unlocked to safely flash a new ROM and radio, I believe.
Ok, im just gonna not worry about the radio portion, if you say it can be done later. So I still have my advantage at the rgb screen with olipros name and spl version. it says usb because its connected to my pc, whats the next step? in particular which exe should I run, i have 4 total in the rom zip file.
Well, I know that I purchased it off ebay, and it was advertised as factory unlocked...that means sim unlocked right?

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?

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

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...
Hello guys,
First of all I'm sorry for creating separated thread with problems, but i want to post them clearly and in one place. I hope that you can help with this, cause I'm trying and trying with many many ways, and nothing works for me . So lets start:
I have succesfully installed Windows XP on my machine. It works perfect.
But there are some problems ofcourse
First of all, the snapvue (I've installed liberated ROM) won't run. Nothing works. There is only black screen and 3G led is blinking. The only way I can run snapvue is to drain battery to 0%, and then plug the adaptor and wait a second. And the only time, that snapcue is starting - its when bios saying that i have 2% battery and it will close in... etc etc. Anyway, for some reason its hanging up after a while. So again - its not working.
I've tried the comonex way many many times with no success. There is only black screen all the time.
And now: I've tried it today again, and when I'm starting mtty, there is no USB anymore.
I've done it before, so please, don't tell me, that I'm not following the instructions .
I don't know what to do. Because of that - there is no sound in Windows, and anyway i need SnapVue side to run some 3G modem .
Now the OS side:
Wlan won't work. When I'm trying to install the driver it says: "Error 10, device can't start" or something like this.
I've tried all the solutions provided here without success. What should i do, and what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Chris
SnapVue Side

Hello, for this.. I will keep on cmonex things.
First : are you able to use ECShift.exe ? if yes... try "ECShift.exe -gm" (without quotes) to see if it works (first) and what is the value (0 or 1). If it is 1, you are in the bootloader and need to go out of this using "ECShift.exe -mode0" and then soft-reset snapvue with "ECShift.exe -reset".
You might say that you already do that... maybe yeah. but you need to see exactly why it is black, is it black because of stopping to display, or because it enters bootloaders.... etc..
Second : if you get access to WM, go to the snapvue settings button (if you still have the snapvue today plugin) and go to power -> advanced .. there you should uncheck both if they are checked.. just to try that the issue does not come from there.
Hope it will be better for snapvue side. I let you answer that, and I will see later for the following issues.
I've tested -gm already before and it shows good vaules. But when I'm trying to go to SnapVue Side - there is nothing. Only black screen.
One more thing:
I have HardSPL already,
I've flashed liberated ROM, Flashed gullums ROM, and no go.

well "good" values does not mean anything to me... I guess you mean "0" all the time (because you don't need to go in the bootloader).
and what do you see if you type use the -reset command (with snapvue in mode0) in snapvue? Do you see the HTC screen? (white) or nothing at all.. always black?

Good values means:
When i type -bl, then -gm it shows mode 1,
-mode0 then -gm - shows mode 0...
After reset its always black.
Now I cant run it even on this warning screen
Only 3G icon is blinking. Rest is black like ***hole

clio110 stands for X9500.
you should try a tool in vista which display the WM part... I don't remember the name but I know that there exists at least one. I wish I remember that... grr.. was using it before my touch left me. and this utility allows to have a mouse in WinMob which is pretty nice ^^ (but useless IMO).
I will try to ask cmonex about your issue, but it seems that something is wrong.. but why? "hum"... you should try to flash cmonex's (rom and see what happens... his roms are the most secured and less modified and if it does not work with his rom, then it is coming from something else which might be harder to solve.

Ok, new update: I've managed to flash that rom, but again - black screen always But there is one more thing:
I've run SnapVue (as I stated before - when there is "Battery low, device will turn off in...), and then started Windows - well, i had sound for a second, and I could change between XP and SV, but in a second - black screen again and under XP this message:
You just plugged device into audio jack.
And nothing. Sound is dead and SV side is dead... damn.
try flashing stock 1.30.405 then... I posted that somewhere (do a search for my posts in shift forum)

Thank you for suggestion.
I've done as you stated... but nothing changes. At normal boot (after taking out battery), WInMo side wont work.
Any news in that thread anyone?
Did you check the WM power settings?
Did you check that the WM Advanced Power Settings was not switching the WM side off? Read my last post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440437
You will need to use the Vista reset SnapVUE utility first to start it up first
*EDIT* Just re-read your first post and saw that you are running XP, oh well - if you can quickly start SnapVUE then check your power settings. Good Luck!
