Ok, so I tried to flash my G4 wizard to wm6, went all the way through the flash, got to 99% and stopped, giving me a comm error. I did the recovery and im in an endless flash to 99% loop. When I turn it on, I get the bootloader (3 stripe) screen, with the following:
RUU upper right corner
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
USB lower left corner.
I have spent the last 4 hours reading posts and cannot fix this thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
did u flash it back to carrier rom?
Flash it back to the original carrier ROM (should be available on the website) and then use ShellTool to flash the ROM. make sure that you follow the instructions exactly, otherwise, you will end up with a bricked rom.

The only rom I can find on Cingular's web site, once downloaded says its corupted, and I cant find one on XDA at all. Anybody know where else I might find one?
Wizard Love rom is another one you could try.
Wizard Love got me goin again, I love me some wizard.
Thanks for the help guys!!!
Same Problem I Have Faced.... And Also Solved.
u have Radio Rom problem....
search the latest radio rom and upload to your rom... and restart your pda...
reply me..... sooon because same problem i had faced and solved also.
Same problem
I was having the same problem yesterday. Eventually i got it to work again. It was a little confusing though because i used the rom from the HTC website to get it up and running again with wm5 and then used ShellTool from the sticky in this forum to flash it with a wm6 rom. From what i gather it's because my phone was CID locked, something that none of the roms include in their instructions to watch out for. Maybe a sticky in the forum for newbs like me containing things to watch out for while flashing roms?
A side note:
I had to download the rom from the HTC site twice in order for it to flash back to the original OS. The first time i downloaded the rom i kept getting an error. I guess it was a bad download or something but the second one worked in the first shot.

There is no help for you if you did flash a non-official G3 rom onto your phone.
Recent Official carrier releases are the only roms that contain bootloaders that are safe to flash into a G4. (Note older carrier releases could possibly fry your phone as well as they may not contain G4 bootloaders)
If you flashed a custom rom with IPL/SPL your device is done for good.
Though you said it went to the bootloader prior to going dark so you may just have a dead battery and a bad flash. Get a battery from a friend or buy one and then see if the device will power on. If you can't get it to power on with a known good battery then it is most likely fried. If it does boot at least to bootloader then you should be able to recover your device. Most chargers will not charge the battery of your phone unless the phone is fully booted into windows. So it is very important to have a contingency plan in case of a bad flash with these phones as playing/troubleshooting while trying to recover from a bad flash will drain your battery possibly leaving you with not enough juice to complete a flash.
hi zzan
thanks for the reply, i think your right about the battery it actually turns on for about 10 seconds now into bootloader but then the battery dies again so i gonna source a battery.

Remove the battery for about 5 minutes, then put it back in.. then try booting in bootloader mode <tri color screen> .. then flash with an OFFICIAL Carrier ROM ..
I flashed my hermes yesterday <changing the spl and stuff> and it was dead for a little bit, until I took the battery out and put it back in.. <for some reason it was like a de-fibrilator..>
Try that.
hi madcap,
not looking good i toook it to a phone engineer and he says it is corrupt ? he has tried flashing it, apparently there is a guy who will put in a new chip ? i am such a fool i bricked my phone just to get rid of o2 stuff !!!!!

A new chip?!?!??
The problem is the in the IPL area which can now be flashed only via JTAG (cable system that doesn't require booting files since it operates directly on the chip)
Take it to an official repair.
Hi,
I have almost the same problem. I tried to flash to WM6.1 for wizzard, it got to 99% and failed (connection lost). I then tried the recovery process but that didnt work.
Now I can boot to the booloader, and see the IPL/SPL versions (2.25.0001) and can see USB on the lower left. But , it is not making a connection to my PC. None of the RUU, ROMS, HardSPL, or SoftSPL apps can connect to it.
They all report some connection error, "Device not found", or "Connection Error 264"...
I have read a bunch on this forum, and tried alot of stuff but nothing worked.
I started up my own thread on my issue, but hope someone could help me, help someone else in the process here..
How can I get this thing flashable again?
Thanks

This worked for me and now I can connect the apps to the phone again. But after I try to install the default rom, everytime at 80% it looses the connection again.. .
Anyone know a good WM6.1 rom that works with 8125 G4

Fully recharge your battery, then try to flash again. Low/dead/misreporting battery will kill a flash as surely as disconnecting the cable in mid-flash. Oh, and try WizFlo...really cool! (I had to fiddle with the Opera Browser install to get the Internet connection to work correctly, but who cares, it was worth it!)
My dopod is on ipl/spl 2.20
while trying to update to the latest PV 4.0.0.0.6 Touch, i encountered an error..
Fine, reset the device, went to bootloader, started the PV_Temp upgrade file for my G3 dopod.
halfway, the update fails and says the NBF file cannot be used.
i've tried every other NVID rom and it is the same..
so now i'm stuck in the bootloader screeen and i can't do anything
Please try the search button in this forum!!! And don't worry it's not bricked;-)

check your .NET Framework and see if you have the 2.0 version installed. Reboot your pc and start again. We always experience these hiccoughs.
i've tried the search..
seriously saying, its quite hard to find what i want..
i seem to be able to flash the PV_TEMP ROM, it says on my computer its successful but my PDA just goes back to bootloader.
anyway, i'm installing .Net framework 2.0... will see how that goes..
still doesn't work..
RUU says its congratulations...
PDA goes back to bootloader
i cna flash jester's rom, i can flash PV_temps rom..
but all i get is the bootloader screen after that..
can't flash the NVID thats from the upgrade guide... it just says wrong NBF file..
wonder how much will it cost for me to send it to service center to replace the whole flash chip
new problem, now i can't do anything at all cause i think my batt is dead..
how can i recharge it ?

so you know now what is the problem!
recharge it by connecting to a PC with USB and wait wait wait and hope for the best. Try recharging it by what ever means you can do. If you said, you are successful in getting PVtemp, then, try installing battery_status.cab (find it search it by google or whatever) and watch the battery_status line on the front page and wait for a + sign before the 100mA at the right bottom line to appear.
Wait till it is full, then redo step 2 again. I'm sure you can get over without getting the machine to the manufacturer for repair.
no no
the first problem still stands
i'm still stuck at bootloader..
but now i can't flash anything cause my batt is dead..
so i've got 2 problems now
hello all,
sayjeng, I got the same problem last week.
I couldn't use any RUU rom because of the corrupted nbf file.
The PV_TEMP rom worked but I was stuck on boot loader screen too...
I tried many times and with some random hard resets... Eventually, the fourth time , WM5 started...
My advice are :
- charge your battery by any means like SeaPea said
- reboot your desktop computer
- remove your (fully charged) battery from your phone for some seconds and put it back...
Really, I may have been lucky that time...
I just wanted to post here to say that I sympathize...
Good luck!
will give it a try tomorrow..
its past 1am now and i need to be up early tomorrow..
if it doesn't, really have to make a trip to service center..
wonder what should i tell them then..
oh, forgot to mention
i can't hard reset..
i can get to the part where it says 'Press Send to restore factory default, Other keys to quit'
when i press Send, it says Format FAT Partition and followed by Format is Failed
then i get a flash for 1 sec of the vendor boot screen which is all green, and its back to bootloader

Jow ... flash your rom from dopod!
If your Radio Rom is crashed ... it stuck at Bootscreen too! After that it must run! it fix partition errors too.
ROm from dopod is 2.15..
my prophet is now on 2.20...
i can't flash it... i haven't been able to find a vendor rom wiht 2.20..
does anyone have any ? Qtek maybe ?
something to get my prophet running...
cause i did try in my attempt to get my prophet back by flashing the Radio ROM.. and it fails.. maybe thats why i can't boot my prophet
tried almost every rom..
used almost every RUU
anyone got any RUU that might help ?
or any suggestions ? thinking of throwing the towel and just pass it to dopod for them to handle....
worst case, change ROM chip
finally
I got this to work using the guide - BUT:
Windows XP SP2 English was the key for me.
I used VMWare to do step 1 of flashing (NVID)
then step 2 of flashing I did on a separate PC.
Worked after so many different attempts
i am running on XP sp2 english.. not using vista..
problem is, i can't even hard reset my phone.. it just says Format is Failed.
but my phone seems fine and still responds to my plugging the USB in and reseting....
Hi sayjeng
The same problem with my imate jamin too..
Whatever you said in you posts is an exact recall of my case.
Now it makes two of us
Waiting to see if someone can come up with a solution.
IPL/SPL at 2.20
Frequent automatic disconnection from activesync.
No means to charge the battery which i think is almost dead.
Tried the Dopod rom,for no avail.
The list goes on and on just like yours.
help..Anyone..?
For the past 6 hours I have been trying to make the No GSM error message on my Cingular 8525 go away. I cannot use the phone to make any calls whatsoever. I originally unlocked the phone to work with T-Mobile which worked for about 2 months and now this error message. The last and only ROM image that I can load to this phone is the Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_3.60a-0823_Full.exe. Any other ROMs I try to load either does not pass 0% or goes to 12% and freezes. I tried to follow the unlocking steps again but it ROM upgrade part would not pass 0%. So, I loaded the Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_3.60a-0823_Full.exe again and checked the Device information. In there I do not see any radio version. The other ROM it loads also is Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_3.54b-0804_Full.exe. NO other ROMS will load. And even if I load the 3.54b or the 3.60a ROM from Schaps and check the Device Information. It only shows the ROM version and the ROM date. Theres no info for Radio version: or Protocol version. What can cause this and also I think that is the reason why my phone is not recognizing the SIM card. I need a way to put a radio version on this phone. Also, I tried 3 different SIM cards and none works. So if someone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Well, here would be a good place to start... you should try posting your message there.... do some reading...
Intensefactor,
How much reading and research did you do before you attempted to upgrade the ROM on your phone? Can't be that much else you would know that Schaps ROMS don't have a radio built in.
Have you looked at the mrvanx guides and the other info availableon here?

I read as must as possible yesterday and I still cannot flash any ROM with a Radio version in it. Any ROMs that does not include a radio version like the original ones I flashed can be flashed to the phone. Other than that no other ROMs can be flashed to the phone. Or even flash a radio version separately. I even tried following http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=62&Itemid=26. How can I flash a radio version to the phone? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you once again.
Is there anyone that can at least point me in the right direction?
thanx god there's someone facing the same exact problem i do have ,
now XDA guru's can you please help a little bit me and this man ??? coz i've spent the past week reading this forum and the wiki to figure out a solution with out luck , frankly i was shy to ask so i wont be called a noob .
please help me to solve this problem in my hermes , now i have installed "GM360Gold-WWE_Final" and the phone is working but no radio at all and the device halts sometimes .
the main reason of this problem i guess was when i upgraded to this rom "RUU_Hermes_TMO_UK_3.60.110.4_6275_1.50.00.00_108_T est.exe"

Maybe i'm the unlucky one out of the bunch. Now myphone is stuck on the tri-color screen with HERM100 IPL-1.04 on the top left and HERM100 SPL-2.03 under it. The only way I can get my phone to come on is with the 3 key soft reset. If I hit the power button on the phone all it does is show the green light on the top of the phone. So, I cannot even hit the power button to get the phone on no more. I have to Hold the Power, OK and the Soft reset buttons just to get to the tri-color screen now. If I try to flash any ROMs without a radio, it goes to 1% then the phone reboots and goes to a blank screen again. If anyone have any other ideas. Please reply to this post. Reading and reading hasn't really gotten me anywhere. Maybe some explanation from someone might help now. So, please if someone help give me some advice, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

i just bought my hd2 fromt-mobile and naturally couldn't resist but to modify it
So i installed and flashed the HSPL2 with no problem it worked perfect and very fast and easy....and i installed Mesus Rom and love it did my registry tweeks got the phone running awesome!!!
Now i woke up early was browsing on htcpedia and glanced at the new DOPOD version radio.... well..... it installed fine no errors but when it got to 100% to reboot BLACK SCREEN. I've tried getting the phone into bootloader mode nothing, tried a master reset holding down the volume up and down at the sometime and press power nothing, i've tried to plug it in the computer it recognizes it my computer makes the connected to a device noise but when it goes to initialize the hd2 i get this driver error:
Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM failed.
i've also read once u have hspl or hspl2 installed it can not be bricked can someone please help me on some step by step and some links
the radio i flashed that caused this was 2.051.03(DOPOD)

Is that this one (2.09.51.03)?
Says in the post there it doesn't support 576MB RAM. That would probably mean it's not compatible with the TMOUS HD2. I vaguely remember that being the case for any version with 51 in it.
Sorry to be completely unhelpful here, but I wouldn't have a clue on how to revive your HD2.
Perhaps people in the TMOUS HD2 Flashing guide thread might know something?
----
meptik
chalk another non-starter up to a ..51.. radio on a tmous phone.
still not seen a fix
is the tmobile us hd2 recoverable or is it bricked out?
sorry, not sure. see other threads HERE (post three) and HERE , , it's also mentioned in the mtty and the HSPL (regular HSPL and tmous HSPL) threads.
As far as i can gather so far, roms below 2.10 cause not to boot, but can recover from bootloader, radios with a ..51.. in them cause it not to start at all. (because ..51.. radios don't support the 576mb, presumeably)
Best of luck.
I am having the same problem...I can boot in to bootloader mode and in to restore mode but there is no display on the screen the computer detects it and everything and I can flash the phone, but nothing ever comes up not the tmobile screen or anything...I had this problem when I first got the phone only the backlight would come on, but I took the battery out for a few minutes and then it worked fine until the battery died then the problems started again, then I flashed it with the with the latest tmobile us official rom I could find and it worked until I turned it off and then I could not get it to turn on again. I somehow through some voodoo or something after trying the restore feature like 20 times got it to come on, the I had to take the battery out to put in the sim card and now nothing...The thing I can't understand is why windows recongizes the phone and I can flash it but nothing changes nothing just a blank screen with the backlight on I can attach to it with mtty and everything I ran a task 28 and task 29 and reflashed it nothing I have tried cooked roms and everything still no display...Someone please help...I plan on returning it for a new one except there are none in my entire state, I have called every tmobile store in the phone book and none know when they will get more in...

That info is still in the same thread that y'all should have read before bricking your HD2's. Many (and I mean many) of us flash our HD2's all the time, run ROM's custom built to even let us run the latest and greatest Android builds available.
When you and the OP (iirc) get some fresh HD2's, read the info and links in the stickies here. There's enough info in those to get you well on your way to mastering your HD2's destiny.
Best of luck.
So true. ALL chefs always warn ab NOT flashing .51 radios on TMOUS HD2 or they posting links to HOW TO FLASH TMOUS HD2.
Dont rush with first flashing! Thats the best way to brick ur phone!
Always read the forum! Thats the bast way to make ur phone happy

Seems the Charmer forum does not have a lot support anymore...
Hi,
as you can read in my last posts, I also have the problem of a bricked Charmer that refuses to get back to work...
ChrBeck was very active here to help the people to get bricked devices working again, but it seems he also went away from the Charmer forum.
So maybe you could try to flash one of the original T-Mobile ROMs and see if this works as a first try.
Can you get into bootloader mode? If not, that really might be a problem...
