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.
think i bricked my wizard

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..?
Hi Guyz
I'm trying to upgrade my friends O2 ATOM to any new software .
the problem is that when it reaches RADIO UPDATE
it stays on 0%
PDA Screen says ( UPDATE RADIO STACK ,,,, PLEASE WAIT ... )
IF I REMOVE THE USB CONNECTION , THE ATOM STICKS ON WINDOWS SCREEN , AND SOMETIMES ON SCREEN ALIGNMENT .
i tried three different roms ad got the same result , even thru BOOTLOADER screen, it is very imbarresing , as i promised him a better performance device , now it is not booting .
hhhheeeellllppppp
pleaseeee
he is looking at me and only flames are showing from his eyes
just keep flashing the device, it fails sometimes on the first flash at the radio section, simply disconnect it and then reflash it for the 2nd time.
How long you've wait the process?
I've upgrade my atom more then 10 times and when in Radio Updates it's also not showing the progress as what you've seen.
But it doesn't mean the process is stopping. Just wait and the process will finished. (Usually in it shows the progress in your PDA screen)
Don't unplug your usb cable before it finished.
unfortunatly i had to unplug the ATOM
now it gives only one massege
UPDATE UTILITY
did i brick it ?
for me, I'd take out battery a while and then connect USB and try to flash with wm5 rom like "Xda-Atom-ENG-20060105" (you can found on this forum under "Collection of All O2 XDA ATOM ROM AKU *** (WM5(2*->3*) & WM6 (0.3*->0.7*))" post).
And then upgrade to wm6 rom by ... jiggs, homer285 & udayrulz .....
hi konanda
will this resolve the problem?
yeah, I have done alot of time to solve this problem on other xda atom also .... if you want, I'l upload this wm5 rom on mediafire ....
thanx
i tried this way 2 , but again it sticks on 0% , with a massege saying , UPDATE DADIO STACK PLEASE WAIT ...
any suggestions?
shall i go to SD card way ?
Just keep flashing the device.. take a bit longer time and then will complete the updating ....

Allow the projected 30 mins for the update, if you plan to update via SD Card be sure to read, ALOT! good luck, oh you could have a little read in the Atom Wiki too.
could be your cable or connection?
ATOM ROM update problem
I had the same problem & tried different ways explained in this thread.
No success.
I tried with old original ROM and all new ROMs as well, it stucked on updating RADIO BURN message on computer and ATOM displays Updating RADIO STACK.
I tried removing battery and kept for some times and tried back but same result. Please anyone can help me
i had this problem also. i was unable to reflash my atom. It stuck at the same screen as what the previous user described. At first, the touch screen failed and there isnt any GSM, as in under wireless manager, "phone" isnt there.. E.g There should be Wifi, Phone and Bluetooth in wireless manager.. But sometimes after some soft reset with the taking out of battery, the gsm comes back together with the touchscreen. But this occurred quite frequently until i decided to re-flash it.
Im using the official rom of Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822.. Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

try to update to any WM6 or if you still want the WM5, there are a lot of ROM
's available. I had this tradgic experience aswell with o2 default ROM. Im contented with the WM6 although no a2dp support yet =)

i'll agree with the others, better change USB cable as well =) It could be faulty you can use cable from canon digicam/motorola phones et. al.
I would suggest reflashing the ROM with cooked ROM's available here like WM6 or WM5 if you still want to stick with it. o2 default ROM gives me a headache before. No1 rule before upgrading ROM...... Read the WIKI hehehehe
Hey guys I had the same problem, I went through the procedure as here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358442
Hope u can also flash 'OS+EBoot' part of it and then after ur Atom Exec restarts u can go in bootloader and flash the original WM5 from O2 ‘Xda-AtomExec-ENG-20060614_R060428N_EX0028.exe’.
Hi,
I reinstalled French WM6.1 rom 2 days ago. Worked well. Add some apps : VGA HTC Home, etc... Yesterday, tried to start the machine : doesn't start... get off/in battery doesn't solve pb. The screen never lights on.
So, decided to flash ROM using camera+reset. The screen is OK, since I can see ATHE100, IPL-V1.00, ATHE100, SPL-v1.20.Olipro, And Serial then USB when i connect to PC
Started to flash with latest French ROM WM6.1 : the screen light off at 12%, with error 276. I try to recover, nothing happens. The update tool showed no name for a previous ROM.
Continued to flash with MichyPrima WM6.1SPL1.2. It goes until 100%, says 'done', but again I can't start the machine...
Any idea ? Is it possible to downgrade SPL 1.2 to the original one, then flash official ROM... Do you think using SD card flashing method may help ?
Is it possibly a battery problem ? I think mine are full, but I can't verify... Why the ROM id isn't shown even after a succesful flash of Michy's ?
Thanks !

I need help my phone won't load up after HTC screen!
what can i do ? : (
Did you flash anything prior to this problem or even install a program or tweak the registry?
i flashed a rom..
i tried hard rest.
nothing works.
but i think i did a mistake ,Full TMOUS Compatible with 576 RAM + 1 GB Storage and i have normal HD Leo..
can that be the reason?
The problem is if you have a TMOUS and flash a non TMOUS compatible ROM or even worse a .51 Radio. There is no problem the other way.
Did you HSLP flash your phone first?
The ROM you are flashing, unless it is a stock one (ie from HTC) does not include a Radio ROM. These custom ROMs will specify what Radio ROMs work with their ROMs. These Radio ROMs have to be flashed first, although if you go into bootloader mode (Hold Volume-down button and switch on), then connect and flash the correct Radio ROM.
yes i have HSLP 2.08 .
and i also installed radio rom 2.12.50 before flashing to the rom.
the rom is VBNROM▐ Aug 16 - RC5.5 Android Compat▐ BLACK/GTX▐ 21915/24623▐ Test 23129/23569▐
and i have a European leo version not the american.
so can that be a problem?
so u say i can do the hold down and power then i can install a new rom?
fred_up
thanks i did the Down Vol And power and flashed to a new rom.
and works ^^ thank u so much

Please Can someone help me, I had a friend help me flash my HD2 because I had a dutch version ROM and I really didn't know how to do it myself and it seem working fine not until I got a call but couldn't answer it and the phone got stuck. Each time I reset it wouldn't help, it will gets stuck at htc and won't load up. I did a hard reset and it loaded up but when I tried calling it got stuck again. This morning I tried to flash a new ROM from CleanEX DsE Core ROM Series (6.5.X ManiMore) every thing seems going on well during synchronization from computer. it showed the last ROM being (Miri_HD2_WM65_21914_Sense25_V18.0). But now the phone wont get to a complete start up. I cant hard reset it any more since it keep continuing from the same htc screen spot before battery removal, not giving me the chance to hard reset from power down mode. when I soft reset it once, it got to the point when it ask for my pin code but it went back to the htc screen mode again before completion. now I cant do any thing just staring at the htc screen.
He first flashed the ROM with HSPL. I saw something like SPL 1.42 SPL 1.42.HSPL on the reset screen. Is this suppose to be the correct HSPL number? and how can I go about this, I need all the help please.
