Used awizard to revert back the OS from ver2 to ver1. It has unexpected error during the "w" option and the device is hung for a long time. Did a soft reset, and after that it only shows upto i-mate booting screen and sits there. No activesync is detected now of course and is there anything to recover this. Please...
Press Camera+softreset, you will enter bootloader, try to get you original ROM and flash. Hope this can help you!!! BR
This will work. I had the same thing with my 8125 once. Get it to the bootloader screen (Camera+SoftReset) and connect via USB to your PC. Run your RUU and it will work.
I had a bad experience with aWizard and figured I was not educated enough and decided to not mess with anything but an RUU for now. Even still I don't mess with ROMs anymore. Not worth the risk/headache.
Let us know if you recovered.

Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to update my MDA Compact to qtek 1.06 and I saw to executables in the package:
getdevice.exe and enterbl.exe
I runned getdevice.exe for getting the device data for in the change.bat. That went oke, but out of curiosity I had to run the enterbl.exe, which made me go to the boot loader immediately. And now I'm stuck at the boot loader!
Whatever I do it won't boot to WME anymore! Soft reset, pressing the camera+power+reset, everytime it goes to the "Serial V1.00"screen.
When I remove and put back the backcover of the device (where the battery and sim are) it will go off and after a press on the power button it will boot to WME. But when I manually reset the device or when it automaticaaly reset itself after installing the ExROM tools, it goes back to the boot loader (Serial - V1.00) screen!
I even dumped the ROM with mmty to the SD card and flashed the device with that ROM again, but after it says Checksum is OK and I press reset it just goes straight to bootloader again.
I'm really out of clues of what to do. Can someone please help?
EDIT: When removing and putting back the backcover I can reset the device and it will boot back to WME so I can use it. But still when I softreset (with button or through software) it goes to boot loader. :-(
So using the backcover as a reset button is possible and does work, but it isn't very handy/usefull off course.
TIA

Check the forum, the answer is there
Yes, you are still in bootloader mode and it's actually getting ready for you to flash.
Donno which part of it goes wrong, mine also have the same issue. What you need to do now is to restart your desktop pc / laptop (from the info I gathered from the forum). Then run that update thing again. This time, the same screen will appear saying it's trying to get the device data. Difference is, this time you no longer see the current version of ROM (as the Magician is in bootloader mode now). And you will see it show you the ROM that you going to upgrade to. Just follow the instruction, everything is straight forward. Hope this help.
cheers..
Thanks man!
You're the man cyberjaya!
It is working now, here is what I did (as told by cyberjaya):
- Rebooted my laptop
- Connected the MDA to the laptop
- Started the upgrade program of the qtek 1.06 ROM
- It didn't found my version, but it would let me update it to 1.06
- Flashing....(15 minutes is a LOOOONG time if you have to wait )
I did reset it a few times and it just boots normally!
Thank you ver much cyberjaya!

No problemo
Am using laptop to flash also. Likely it's the USB hub thing (which listed in the "hardware devices" list). Read it somewhere, it's not recommended to flash using USB hub. Enjoy your new ROM!! .
cheers
I had a thought:
Isn't this the way to do a ROM upgrade without editing the ROM files?
Because it can't detect a different ROM and it will do the upgrade...
Or am I missing something?
Hi everyone. I am in need of assistance with shelltool. I've been flashing ROMs for quite some time and this goes beyond the scope of typical upgrading. I apparently had a bad flash happen and need some help correcting it. The OS appears to work fine, except some applications .cab installers exit before asking device or storage card. I have attempted to load the EnableRapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab; however, they exit almost instantly after starting them.
I had this situation happen once before and I was able to oddly enough try to load the original T-Moblie ROM through shelltool (didn't install at all), then try NBD 8.3. which brought me to a boot loader screen after doing a hard reset, but didn't install NBD 8.3. So far I'm not having much luck in recreating the experiment.
Is there a way to force a Wizard into bootloader mode using shelltool or some other utility? I can restore the device if I can get that far.
it's time for my first post
Hi, have been reading this forum for about 3 month and i enyoy it and learn a lot. Have been try about 7 roms and like all. It's time to payback.
Yo can enter bootload by pressing and holding the voice command button and then softreset, keep holding the voice command button util you reach bootload.
Other thing you can do is run the original rom by its executable program not using shelltool.
Good luck

Please tell me how did you restore your phone? i am flashed touchflo rom to my phone and some how it is stuck to the multicolor screen.
Can you help me out?
Thanking you in anticipation.
1 put phone into bootloader by pressing and holding camera button+reset hole. Keep holding the camera button untill you see the tricollor screen.
2 plug the phone into the computer (wait to hear the noise that it found hardware
3 Flash a rom you know worked (maybe your original/ maybe someone elses... maybe even mine )
4 wait untill the flashing finishes and "Tap Screen..." appeares before unplugging.
(If you have a G4 then I advise you to flash the original rom, or make sure your ipl/spl is propper. check the G4 forum to be sure, or ask Mestrini - The creator of the Wizard service tool. I believe he has a G4 and knows more about it than most)
Happy Flashing

Hello, I though I knowd everything I needed to upgrade my hpc from wm5 to wm6.1 with the rom of this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401095 , so I did hard reset it, I then launched EnterBL.exe on it, I then launched ROMUpgradeUt.exe on my computer (I saw later that I should have use GetDeviceData.exe before but still, I think this wouldn't have change something), I saw that I must hard reset again my hpc, so I did and now: the screen show absolutly nothing, not "serial 6" or something but nothing, the only thing I seem to be able to do is to hard reset it again so I see the "press 0" screen but if I do so, it show me nothing again. Also, my computer doesn't recognise it. So ?
yeah I get it, I should have put the file in the right folder, not just launching it. Isn't there a way to move it now or I'm totally screwd like I can simply throw it by the window ? Even a way like paying qtek to reset it I don't know...
Woot, ok, at least now I know that I will be able to do something: I just did hit light + power + reset to enter the bootload (I'm getting a serial msg but I'm sure I will find what I'm suppose to do here since I saw help for this case many times). I understood that to go in the bootload, I had to copy the file (and since I didn't this well, I was screwed).
Fool!
You havent ROM in your UNI....Your ROM is Empty bro, cause you not upgrade correctly your UNI, you skiped a lot of steps, Do you unlock your UNI? Do you upgrade to supercid? DO you upgrade the bootloader? Do you try to upgrade the ROM with a instaler? Why you skip getdata? Do you want to brick your UNI or What?!, try to do all steps correctly and first try to back to original WM5 ROM. I did brick a UNI cause i didnt follow the steps, take care plis....
and....
Put your UNI in Bootloader, disconect usb conections in Active sync, conect the UNI, execute the installer of the ROM, if you have errors, you' ll format the UNI's RAM with mtty.exe (task 28 55aa) and try again.
so i thought it'd be a easy thing to do but i guess not.
first i couldn't get RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_1_90_3.zip to work so i used SSPLManual to get it to go, now no matter what i do it gets to 0% and the pocket pc locks up. im using a HTC Touch Pro with Sprint. the device says Upgrade ROM code error please try again. ms activesync says that it cannot recognize the device or something, and the hardspl program says error 262. ive been searching and reading for an hour and a half and cant figure it out. i really need my device to work by like, tomorrow, so please help me out guys :\
Try going to bootloader mode and flashing the stock ROM that came with it.
i held down the power and volume down buttons and reset it but it just goes to the tri colored screen everytime. there has to be something im just completely missing. to reset to stock rom i would just put the rom on a memory card or how ever the website instructions say to do it and put it in the phone and restart or how does that work
Exactly (if you want to flash the memory card way). Or you can simply connect the device through activesync when in bootloader and flash the stock ROM (download it if you don't already have it).

Isn't the Sprint CDMA? The GSM HardSPL won't work. From the bootloader screen flash it with an OEM Sprint ROM. Good luck
Hi, i must be the dumbest person in here. I just bricked my used sprint touch pro 2. Well it all started when i did not get any sleep, and did not paying attention. My phone was fully unlocked. So i decided i could not wait to flash my phone. So i started to flash the phone, but after it was done i realized i only flashed the BLEEPING SPLASH SCREEN !!!!!!!!
So when i tried to turn the phone on, it loads to the splash screen only.
So i tried to connect it to my computer, but nothing. So i tried to hard reset, it goes to bootloader screen, then only to Touch pro 2 screen. Is there anything that i could do beside Cry, lol. HELP PLEASE.
Can you enter bootloader on your touch pro2?
If so, then its good news and its not bricked Download an official rom from HTC website (or here from the touch pro 2 forum), connect it to your computer whilst in bootloader (multi coloured screen) - make sure is says usb and not serial on ur devices screen and double click your downloaded rom.
It should flash succesfully and you will have your device back up and running in under 10 minutes.
Good luck.
Maybe i should elaborate more. when i said, when i connect it to the computer nothing. I meant nothing happens. Meaning it does not connect, or recognize the Usb, or computer. Help, THX
Ok, you know how to get ur device into bootloader right? what does it say on the screen (dont bother connecting it to your computer).
It jumps right from bootloader mode to the screen that ask me if i want reset all setting to manufacturer default, or cancel page.
soft reset = hold the power button and the volume button down and softreset
I think you are trying to to a hard reset
If you can stay in bootloader, it is possible to flash official stock rom from your sd card. It isnt too difficult to do so let me know and ill tell you how to do it, but have a look on the touch pro 2 forum, you will find how to do it there
Okay, i did a soft reset. And it is staying at the boot loader screen. So it is possible to fix this sprint phone?
Okay, i think i have an idea what you want me to do. You want me to put the phone in boot loader mode, then down load a .nbh file onto the root of the SD card. And while in boot loader mode it should flash the stock rom.
Is that correct?
Yes exactly that
Make sure you extract the nbh file from the stock rom using winzip or another utility. You must then rename it to something like xxxxx.nbh (you will need to get this from the tp2 forum or when i have time ill find it for u). COpy it to the root as you say, enter bootloader etc etc.
You will find how to do this in the tp2 forum.
Good luck.
Once you get into the bootloader (the tri-coloured screen) it should say "Serial" at the bottom. Then plug the USB cable in from your PC, and that should change to "USB".
If it does say "USB", then you should be able to go ahead and flash a ROM from the PC (no need to do it via SD unless you really want to). You don't need an ActiveSync connection.
Omg. I love you guys. You guys are the best in the whole amm world. I will be donating shortly. Thank you so much. It worked perfectly in boot loader mode to connect it to the usb. Than i was able to download the stock rom.
Now should i hard reset it or just leave it alone. Thanks a million.
Hey, good news.
I guess when you said before that it didn't say usb whilst in bootloader was because you weren't actually in bootloader no matter.
Glad you got it back up and running without having to flash via sd
If you flashed an official stock rom, don't bother hard resetting, no point, if you flashed a custom or cooked rom then normally advisable to HR after a flash but this does depend on the rom.
Cheers.
