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!)
Touch Pro Bricked
Ok so I am a noob and at least I admit it!!! I had been having problems with the display scrambling on my flashed to cricket sprint touch pro so what I did was install Hardspl 37 and tried to do a new flash. I last saw my display say that a problem occurred while flashing to the new rom and now I get nothing when I power up. I have tried hard reset I have tried soft reset I have tried about a million different key combos and I get nothing just the backlight pops on and nothing beyond this point. I get nothing when it powers up ...no startup sounds nothing...Just the backlight pops on and then nothing PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS THIS PHONE A 300.00 paper weight???
Ok so Heres what I have done.... I started the flash from my pc but it didn't take so then I put hard spl 37 on my sd card along with raphimg.nbh and since then I get nothing like I stated above??? also bootloader wont come up the phone powers up but doesnt vibrate like it used to and I get just the backlight??? Some one on another site said to try to manually get into bootloader but I don't know how any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Should try pressing volume down button while reseting till you get to bootloader. If not, then...
Oh, and hardspl you want to use is ver 1.90 by Oli Nex. Not sure which one you used.
see bellow
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_HardSPL
Another thing that might have caused this is flashing gsm rom on cdma device (which is your case I suppose - Fuze). Make sure that rom you are flashing is for your device (either raphael (gsm) or fuze(cdma) ).
To get into boot loader hold down the vol down key while turning on the phone.
Best way for you to try is to take out the battery, put it back in, hold down the 'volume down' button on the side and press the power button.
Sorry that's all i can help you with. Hopefully someone else has had this happen and knows a way out of it

Step 1. Take a deep breath
Step 2. Search and read... sounds frustrating buts lots of devices have been brought back from the dead.
Step 3. Get the phone to bootloader mode (three horizontal color bars)
Step 4. Read some more or read other posts on what to do because I can't help past this!
I think you may have used the wrong SPL so start looking there.
I saw what Bauerpavel just posted... good stuff
If you can get to bootloader mode you should be able to start all over again from here

If you're running a Sprint Touch Pro, most of the roms here are not for your phone. May want to try ppcgeeks.com

Just to be clear, not to be confused with the AT&T HTC Fuze, which is a GSM device!
But you're with Sprint, so assuming you're in the US, you have a CDMA device. Check the CDMA forum at the top level of the Raphael forums. There will be lot's of good advice there on the specifics for that hardware.
Good luck!

got problems with my Qtek S200 phone..
IPL 2.20
SPL 2.20
heres what happend:
All things were working perfectly until one day my phone went to bootloader mode with me doing nothing on it... i tried to soft reset and it went back to its normal functions. a few days passed again without me doing nothing like upgrading etc etc... < im afraid coz im a newb in this and i dont want to mess up my phone> the camera went crazy like turning on and taking random pictures etc etc and then all of a sudden back to bootloader mode < as i read on post bootloader mode are the 3 color screen in which you can only see IPL and SPL >
then i was mad and dont know what had happend to my phone, i did a hard reset this time and it went back to normal again but after a few hours it went back to boot loader mode. i turned off the phone took off the battery sim and let it rest a bit but LO and BEHOLD when i restarted the phone it seems to be stuck on boot loader mode... i talked to some forum users here on PM and i took one advice to flash it to the original shipped ROM since mine was in Spanish language.. so i did... i took the advice and flashed it in bootloader mode.. i followed the instructions carefully as i read in the forum link he gave me... but after that theres no change.. its still the same! i tried to do a hard reset again and it was a success i was able to use the phone < this time in english language> but when im on the user customization part < the part wherein the phone installs its needed programs to run perfectly> it needs to perform a reset afterwards, after resetting it went back to boot loader mode...
i really dont know what had happend to my phone.. if anyone here know whats the possible reason and know how to fix my phone i would be happy...
thanks a lot and waiting for a clear reply

Hello ,
my HTC Touch pro was bricked few months ago
i installed WRONG hard spl
on pc it showed 100% Completed
but i couldnt start my phone
how can i fix this ?
if i use Hard Reset method, i doesnt work , i cant start my phone
have you tried installing a new SPL via storage card (rename spl file to RAPHIMG.NBH and place it on the storage card) and enter bootloader mode by holding the vol down button when powering on the device?
the problem is
i cant start bootloader
nothing is working
I think you got yourself a brick...
Does it at least vibrate?
Run SPLExploit!
Dude, i have the same problem with you too but its not my TouchPro but its my old school Dopod D810. I flashed custom rom (my home cook) but forgot to add sumthin and finally i learned somethin that i can ****up my phones LOL. Just like what i thought my phone wont start and it refuse to enter on Windows OS but atleast bootloader mode still accessible. Thanks God
I search for post how to recover bricked phone (ofcourse on trinity room) and found some tools call "SPLEXPLOIT" it runs on DOS Mode. This program can erase your nand memory which in this case you flashed the wrong SPL and will rebuilt some bad Nand memory too. Good tho
I finally can bring my dead dopod came to life (for almost 1 year i left it on garage) lol. Just asked cmonex! maybe he can help you...
If this tools works universal i'm sure it will worked on TP too! Just asked cmonex for more details...
Run SPLExploit (as Administrator) --> while Enter in Bootloade mode -->
Just make sure that USB Cable was recognized as "USB" on the bottom of the screen not "Serial"!
When its done ....
NOTE: "Dont Soft Reset the phone even when SPLExploit ask you to SR the devices" just go ahead straight away flashing new custom rom or anything you want
Goodluck!
The OP can't get into bootloader, because the bootloader is corrupted/dead. So that isn't going to work.
JTAG is the only way to fix it, and as far as I know, no one knows how to do it on a Raphael.
Maybe playing with BIOS ( if BIOS can be accessed ) might help.
But BIOS can really make ur brick a worse brick if done wrongly please ask for help from the senior most members on Raphael forums.
And request them don't order them.
And if nothing works * I love to say this line *
You Just got Yourself a New Shiny Fine Edged Black Clear 600 U.S. Dollars worth Of a BRICK ! Enjoy !

Do you tried to start bootloader manually?
You can do that, press and hold Vol down, then reset button (with stylus), release reset (keep vol down pressed) and when the multicolor screen appears then release vol down key
I hope this can help you?

That is the only way to go to bootloader but as Farmer Ted mentioned his phone ( including bootloader is dead ! )
So i don't think there is any way out for you except if any really senior members can help you with bios or pump in something which starts your bootloader !

Dude, you might try to PM cmonex. I hear she can do miracles. You can check out this thread and see a miracle there. Who knows? See what can be done. This link will take you to her contact page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=322932. Best of luck to you my friend. Worst case scenario, sell it for parts. Several people around here are always looking to replace "stuff", including me .
the same problem
I did the same thing to my HTC Fuze aka rafael or touch pro, from some reason it was the same thing as diamond and i flashed wrong spl and completely bricked it, no bootloader no nothing. So i went to a service and they said it was a hardware problem so they had to send it somewhere else to be fixed. It took them 3 weeks to get the phone back, in not working condition saying that motherboard was dead. I guess thats what happens when you flash wrong stuff... Now i dont know what to do either. I would like to sell mine for parts if someone is interested or if someone know how to use jtag i would pay him to try to fix it...
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
