I have an 8125, IPL / SPL 2.25.0001 that has been working fine for over a year with the factory WM5 ROM. Recently, it started behaving badly, and thinking it was an OS problem, I restored a backup that I took using Sprite Mobile Backup. It worked for about 5 minutes, then started buzzing loudly, and the screen went dark. Now, if I try to boot normally, I get the blue splash screen, but after that the screen goes dark, and the bluetooth and wi-fi lights blink, but nothing else happens. I can get to the striped bootloader screen, and when I plug in the USB cable it says USB in the corner, but I can't get the Wizard tool or Hard SPL or any other tool to recognize it. It's not recognized by ActiveSync or WMDC, but Windows does realize that it is plugged in and adds it as a device to device manager. Am I suffering a hardware failure here? Is there anything I can try?
Thanks!
Nevermind, I figured it out. I found the information in the Wiki and got the Wizard Love ROM working. Seems a lot faster than it ever was before, might just stick with this instead of going to WM6. Or maybe not
There is so much information on here, and it can be overwhelming, no matter how much you try. But, I kept reading and reading and finally it all clicked.
THANKS!
so u figuered it out???
that's cool. i have similar problems. my os works but neither active sync nor wmdc can find the device.
at the time, the loading station is recognized by my pc.
how did u get them connected?

I upgraded my himalaya to WM5 using llbasha's rom. Everything was ok, all functions of my device was working. But one day i saw my devices screen was shaking like a old tv near a ringining cell phone. When i reset my device i see screen become white and device dont turn on. I charge battery on cradle and try about 4-5 times to turn it on i turns on but turn it on is really hard. I tried to downgrade it to WM2003 or some other roms but himaupgradeut doesnt recognise my devices rom and extrom or ce version. I tried to go on to flash the rom. Flashing finished but it was still WM05 but with WM2003se splash screen. And still screen was shaking ang still i was living white screen problem. I checked sccren connector and it was ok. Whenever i look bootloader it shakes too. I think problem is about device, not about display because when i live white screen problem any of lights turn on or any buttons work. If anyone can help me or give any advice i thank a lot.
Best regards

Solved
I solved problem by changing mainboard of device.
my USB cord disconnected during a rom upgrade, and I can't get back to the recovery screen on the computer. My phone is currently in the 4 color mode (red, green, blue, white), how can I get it out of that to continue my rom upgrade or start over?
att 8525
Mine did that a couple times, I just started the process over again and my phone is working great
but doesn't the ruuupdater.exe have to verify that activesync is running so it can connect to the phone? the phone won't even load now, just goes to the multi colored screen.
I've also tried restarting the update program for both the 1.50 rom and the wm6 and both cannot connect to the device, because it is stuck at the multi-colored screen (which currently says "usb" since I have it connected to the usb)
Have you try a soft reset? That usually works for me.
how do i do a soft reset if I can't perform any functionality on the phone? not a smart remark, I just can't perform any actions on the phone, doesn't even boot up, like i said, only the red, green, blue and white screen appears when i turn the phone on.
thanks for your help guys.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Get your stylus and poke the little hole next to the IR near the usb port. Check your manual if you can't locate it.
I understand where that is located though, when I click it, it brings me back to the multi-colored screen.
First of all do you have HardSPL installed? If yes there are no problems...just run the upgrade again and choose the SPL version you have (and not the SSPL, cause it hasnt`t worked for me!) and go ahead...it will work!...at work I have a bad USB cable and in last week have failed to upgrade about 3 times...every time can resume from the begining withouth problems...

Primoz, that was the info I was looking for, thank you so much. I received an error saying the image file was corrupt but I will continue working on it.
Now I'm having an issue when wm6 loads (still have not repaired the ROM update yet), it hangs at the Windows Mobile 6 screen and does not go to the today screen, any ideas?
My brother brought me his O2 Prophet a couple of weeks ago because he said it randomly turned off. I assumed, obviusly, a faulty battery, and replaced it with a new one, fully charging it with an independant desktop charger before putting it in. Still the problem persisted.
I hence came here, and trawled through the xda bible, concluding that since the thing would turn off even by leaving it on a table and looking at it, it could very well be a software problem, as so many before me have had. No biggie, methinks - it's flashing time!
And here's where the phone decided it wanted to be a cute white paperweight: before it could finish flashing pdaviet, it turned off, voiding the process. Since, it's stuck in bootloader, and every time I try to flash (and I'm positive I'm doing it right), it will turn off, normally even before it reaches 50%. What could be the problem?
I've checked the connectors to see it they were dirty, and connectors 3 and 4 seemed slightly recessed, but I don't know if this is normal (they're very neatly recessed).
So, finally (I'm a long typer, sorry!) if anybody has any ideas, even maybe apparrently stupid ones, please post - my computer wiz reputation is at stake.
Try a different computer if you can, or even just a different USB port.
If that fails, re install active sync, get a different WM5 NVID ROM, Manually put the device into bootloader, disable connect through USB in active sync and then connect the device. Then run the RUU from the ROM you downloaded.
Thank for your reply l3v5y.
I tried all of your suggestions, but it still turns off all the time - I'm starting to think it really is a harware problem, but I can't figure out where.
Any other ideas come to mind?
Does it start up (and run WM5) properly? If yes, and it persists to reset, I would assume there is a faulty connection between the battery and the device. Check the battery connectors on the device to see if any are further depressed than others.
WM5 doesn't start at all - it's stuck in bootloader. The two middle connectors are slightly depressed compared to the other two - should I pull them out a bit?
I would suggest pulling the pins out slightly, but do not overdo it. Try a different WM5 ROM (an official one is probably best).
I know it may be silly but check if the soft reset button didn't stuck, maybe someone was pressing it too hard and that is causing problems
Hi guys
Hoping someone here can help me
I have a Qtek 9100 G4 that currently has IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.0lip with Slim Diamond WM6.1 Rom
This was running beautifully until i left the phone for a weekend plugged into the wall charger.
When i came back now whenever i switch on the phone it shows the Diamond splash screen, doesnt show the ipl or spl and just stays there indefinately.
I allowed the phone battery to drain for a week and when i turned it on it booted normally again, got to the main wm 6.1 screen, it automatically customised the rom and then rebooted. Then im back at stage one again! I can repeat this by leaving the phone with no battery to drain the internal one. Hard reset works so say but doesnt have any effect.
I have tried different techniques to reflash the phone but no matter which guide i follow the usb is never ever recognised as connected. All RUU say is error 260. Even Wizard Love is no go. I have tried the disabling usb connections and disabling the correct services, can happily get into bootloader mode but can do no more - says usb in corner but computer never registers anything attached
My only idea is that somehow leaving it plugged in has fried the usb - its weird tho as it still charges fine with computer or wall charger.
Im getting near to giving up with this phone now as no matter how many guides i follow none ever get anywhere with this phone
Has anyone had anything similar happen?
I have an old 8525 that I want to bring back to life... tired of the iPhone. It has Mobile 5 on it. Haven't used it in... oh, close to 2 years. Still powers up fine and all so I decided to try upgrading. I used Hard-SPL first and it errored out after the tricolor screen came up, saying it couldn't find the phone. So I popped the battery and went back in, and tried Auto Unlock v3a. Script failed, as did the manual method of copying up. Every time I get to the tricolor screen and it displayes HERM100 IPL-SSPL by Des and HERM100 SPL-1.09.ds. If I leave USB plugged in it says USB, otherwise it says serial. I do NOT have a SIM card in it right now. Am I missing something? It seems like I should have an option on the phone to do the upgrade, but I just have the colors I'd really like to get up to 6.5!
Thanks,
