Hi,
I managed to blow away the ROM while trying to upgrade and now can not connect to the bootloader to download a new rom.
Here is my sorry story. I used the OS image tool to backup the ROM to SD and then started downloading the developers edition ROM to the device. During the process I lost the connection and could not reconnect again so I tried restarting the device. Now it has no ROM. So, I followed the instructions to get to the bootloader to restore the ROM from the SD card. No luck. The Bootloader is V5.22 so from what I read it means that the SD card had to be "keyed" to use as a backup. Next I tried the instructions to get to USB Flash mode. The screen says "connect USB cable now" but I can not get ActiveSync to connect so I can download a new ROM.
Any suggestions?
Ok I might be wrong here, but i don't think you need an active sync connection do upgrade the ROM do you?? Thought the upgrade tool kills the active sync connection??
Cannot connect to XDA
When I run the OsImageTool it comes back with an error "please connect your XDA to activesync. Whether this means the Active Sync program or just to put the XDA in the cradle I can't be sure. But either way I have the XDA in the cradle and Active Sync running, but it will not connect when I try to run the OsImageTool.
Your XDA is dead!
you could send it to me to let XDA life back!

if i can get activesync to connect to my g4 pda in bootloader mode, can i use shelltool to flash a new rom even if i cannot install the two suggested files to the pda prior to the flash.
pda does not connect to the computer but i haven't tried to see if there is a connection in bootloader mode.
pda does not connect to another computer either so i figure the pda is screwed up.
i originally flashed wizard love with shelltool and all was well.
then my maybe-almost-son-in-law played with the pda and now it's a mess.
i'm voting against him but of course, my daughter has the last word.......

Flashing from bootloader, known as RUU method, is different to using shelltool. The RUU method is standalone and basically just involves following a procedure similar to an installation wizard. To flash from bootloader, just get your device in bootloader then plug your usb cable in. Make sure that USB is visible in the corner. Next you just double click on the wizard love rom and follow the directions. From memory they are in italian but you should be able to work what button is what.
Alternatively you can flash from bootloader using the latest rom from your provider.
Good Luck

P.S Maybe start voting for the maybe-son-in-law and try some reverse psychology
You must either flash your original vendor ROM (Must be original with RUU unmodified) or Wizard Love ROM using RUU to get your Wizard boot to OS successfully, then you can flash your favorite ROM using Shelltool.
If RUU failed to connect with the Wizard, try to kill the wcescomm.exe in Task Manager (or disable USB connection in ActiveSync) first.
two things.
i tried connecting the g4 to the computer in bootloader mode and no connection.
how do i tell if it is a software or hardware problem.
the pda does charge through the usb connection so does that mean anything regarding a signal connection.
sadly, daughter voted against the guy so now he is the ex almost maybe future son-in-law.
so it goes.
gives me longer to save for the wedding...........

Hei man, please read the thread carefully!,
NEVER ATTEMPT TO UPDATE YOUR DEVICE USING SD CARD FLASHING!!!
oh, and its up to you then,.
there must be something wrong with your pc, 3rd party pc software, or your activesync,.
please fix this problem first, before you make your decision by flashing it using SD CARD method, it may brick your device, and you'll get worse then,.
activesync not working, and device unsuable too, wasnt that scary?,.

I have a cingular wizard with WM6 TNT 1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) w/ TouchFlo. My battery recently died (thought it was bricked for a while, then tested the battery and bought a new one). My wizard won't connect to activesync through a usb cable(I have the advanced network checked OFF), and I don't have a bluetooth adaptor on this laptop. I have wifi here. First off I want a different OS because this one is too loaded and there isn't enough free memory, a bunch of apps I don't need. Also I'm wondering if a new OS will let me connect to activesync. Is there anyway to load one onto there, or am I just F'd?
is the phone operational now?
im sure that sktools had a repair activesync option then you can flash whatever
Bluetooth
You can use bluetooth to connect with activesync

However ROM flashing must be done by direct USB connection, you didn't read the question carefully.
If you start RUU and plug the USB to your computer, the RUU screen on your wizard should display USB. If this is the case, you can run RUU directly.
If that doesn't work, try it on a different computer.
what about flashing a new rom via bootloader? have u tried that?
Htc fuze (raphael)
I know this is an old thread, but it came up when I searched this problem. I didn't find a lot of info easily, so I just tried a few things.
Problem: Cannot connect to ActiveSync because phone boots into Windows 6.5 beta and is locked at the screen saying the trial is over. When connecting it to the computer, the computer detected a device but ActiveSync could not connect.
Solution: Remove battery from phone and re-insert. Turn on while holding Volume Down button to get into serial mode. When you plug the phone into the computer in this mode, it should switch to USB mode. This allowed me to run RaphaelWrapper and then repeat the Volume Down boot once complete and reconnect to load the RUU for the AT&T stock OS.
If your phone does not switch from Serial Mode to USB Mode when connecting via USB, there is most likely a problem with the phone's USB port or a more serious problem than described above.
I hope this helps someone else! =)
Hi every body I have I-mate k-jam G3 wizard can I upgrade it to windows 6 ?
Thanks 4 all people will help me......
Hi,
I have had my 8125 for about 2 1/2 years now, love it!. Just the other day, it started locking up and giving me the white screen of death.
I tried to flash it with a rom, and it got to 99% and then lost connection. Tried to do the recovery, but that failed too.
I have found alot of good information from the smart and wonderful people on this forum and tried a bunch of stuff.. but I am now stuck.
Now, I can always boot into the bootloader, and it says USB over the left softkey, but no apps can connect to the phone.
I tried to use other RUU roms, HardSPL, SoftSPL, etc...I tried to unlock my CID using the thread in this forum, but SoftSPL couldnt connect to the phone via USB.
All apps error with "error unable to connect to device."
I have read the forum about having a bad mimi-USB port, but I dont think thats my case.
Please help! I am pretty close
Dell D620 CoreDuo 1.8Ghz; WinXP SP2
ActiveSync 4.5
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001

Ok,first,no other custom build rom will flash on it,except official stock rom of the carrieror,however, you can try wizard_love rom,as it has patched IPL/SPL (Bootloaders),so don't try to flash any other custom build,as its a G4,custom rom can only be flashed through SoftSPL or HardSPL.
Download official carrier's stock rom and wizard_love rom.
Secondly,
1.Disable activesync or rather uninstal it altogether,as its not needed during flashing a rom.
2.End process 'wcescomm.exe' in the 'windows Task Manager.
3.Clear and delete the 'Temp Folder' files
4.Run 'Disk Cleaner'
5.Disable all Anti Virus and Firewall.
6.Try to stop/disable all running programs in the background via 'Task Manager'
7. Get the battery fully charged,as many comm errors are due to weak or discharged battery.
After doing all this,get the phone in Bootloaders before connecting with pc via usb cable,there shudn't be any usb at the bottom of the Bootloaders,now connect with pc and check if usb appears at the bottom,if its there than,its establishing connection,go ahead and run official stock or wizard_love rom.Don't use the pc or play games or check emails,don't even do any word,excell or any office application.Check if any application/program interferes with the flash,either disable or remove that program.
Does the battery get charged through usb cable ? verify it.
If after getting the phone into bootloaders and connecting through usb cable,small usb doesn't appear,it means there's a connectivity problem,replace the usb cable and verify it again.Even try with another pc with winXP or change the usb input port of the pc ,put the usb cable in some other usb port on the pc.
Apart from all these,I don't find any reason for not getting the flash completed
Hi,
Thanks for the help.. I tried the wizzard_love rom, and then went to the NBD_v8.3 /w TouchFlo rom and thats awesome!
my biggest issue was not able to connect to the device although it looked like it should have.
on another thread someone said to leave the battery out for 5 mins. I did that and all of a sudden it started to connect consistantly.
After that I did the HardSPL and started flashing and all is well..
Thanks for your help!!!!
