i flashed to 205.108TEST, then i tried to flash to cingular 206rom, but it wont let me. so i tried to flash back to rom with bootloader v1.04. after i flashed to rom with bootloader v1.04, when i turn on the tytn, it said NO GSM, and stuck at the Windows Mobile splash screen. now when i try to flash "any" rom, it always said wrong device and wont let me.

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,

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!)
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.

What exactly were you flashing onto the hermes when the problem of the blank screen and green light began?
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.

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

it is tmous yes? it sounds like he flashed a bad radio,
If that is the case, i would be MAD AS HELL and demand they pay for the replacement of teh motherboard.
I have tried everything on this forum and everything people have contributed to me. Now I'm in an endless circle of downloading this and flashing that. Nothing seems to work anymore. My damn phone gets stuck on the boot screen and vibrates a few times and just stays there. I'll give it one more shot before I'll run over it with my car or attach some fireworks to it, something in that nature.
I tried using task29.exe, but it always results in Error 290. I'm pretty sure I'm using 2.08 HPSL and Radio Leo 2.15.50.14.
I faced that you discribing... when I bricked my OMNIA i900!
There're nothing wrong with Leo - it's STILL one of the VERY best smartphone on the market!
And, I never had problems with flashing, except that moment with my old OMNIA, when I was hurry to flash one rom and I f*cked up big time... and bricked my phone.
Don't know what happen to you - you don't writting DETAILS.
But, I'm strongly recomending you to try and re-DOWNLOAD every file/app you need to flashing roms, re-install everything in your PC, try again the task29.exe (if your phones has nothing wrong, the task29.exe SHOULD be working, by all means) and re-try to flash a rom - I'm strongly recomending, to try "ENERGY" roms. The "Yank" lad (chef) rocks!

I think your phone cpu is getting loose from its socket, have a read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982454
Its not easy to fix tho.
Did you use Android ROMs with MAGLDR? Chances are that your device is bricked.
hi
i would suggest to download and install this toolkit found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
this will allow you to task 29, install hspl, as well as install windows ruu.exe roms
it also alows you to download the drivers needed for your phone which is what i expect is your issue without having any real details
hope this helps
Have you tried flashing a rom through the bootloader by holding down volume down then turning the phone on? Barring a hardware fault, as long as you still have HSPL and can get to the tricolored boot screen your phone should be recoverable.
i think it might be hardware probleme ...not all phones are compatible with android ...mine works perfect on wm but ...when using android and no matter what's the rom i installed ...i always have a hight battery drain ...and i have always to wait 2 mn after turning off the phone if i want to turn it on ...otherwise i stuch on android logo and i cant boot android from sd card...i tried everything ...without success ...
the boot probleme and the hight battery drain doesnt exist on wm ...so i guess not all phones r made to work with android ...since htc make phones by lots ...so might buy one with hardware probleme like mine ...
i'm sure if u tried to install android in another phone u wont have any probleme.
i wrote this reply using wm ...i install it back to sell it tomorrow ...just do like me
instead of destroying it, give it away to some developer. sometimes things starts disliking you. than nothing works. so give it away. where do u stay?
I have the same problem. I finally found an easy fix. Take out the battery for 2-3 hours and put it back in. It almost always comes back to life with no loss of data. Good Luck.
