Bricked my 8125 with 3.2 rom... reflashing help?

[chefchuck@gmail.com]

I flashed my 8125 which i thought was a g3, but clearly as it hung at 99% of the flash It is a g4 that has been flashed with a g3rom..... now I has read about some users reflashing their phones... how do i do that since i can no longer establish an activesync connection? i power up the device... shows the color coded screen (ipl 2.24 spl 2.25) there is a USB text in the grey bottom section, but windows, and different flashing exe's don't respond to me plugging/unplugging the device. Please help:eek:

whats the trick to get into the bootloader? i've tried reseting, and pressing the camera button a dozens times now, now help

I think you have to hold both the voice messaging button as well as the camera button to get into the bootloader.

In your first post you were already in the bootloader -- "color coded screen" as you put it. First thing. Take the battery out before you discharge it too much to continue. It cannot charge in the state you are in and will discharge very quickly until useless.

if you see the USB in the corner of your bootloader screen you should be able to flash a G4 compatible rom back into your phone from there.
Just boot the phone so that you can see that screen and then start the install process on your computer. You will need a ROM that doesn't include the bootloader. So make sure it is a G4 compatible ROM.

I by no means am an expert but I was recently in a similar situation with my G3 (flashed a 2.xx rom that didn't include a bootloader with a 1.xx bootloader)
and this is what I had to do because I couldn't connect to Activesync, or communicate with Windows in any way with that messed up flash.

I'd try flashing the latest stock 8125 ROM from here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/docs/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe

okay... i was confused about just what the bootloader was... and i was in the bootloader... thanks for the help several attempts at detecting the device didn't work... i tried with summiters Cingular_Custom_AKU2.3_Combo_Installer_V1.exe and it finally detected it... which i guess means i have a g3... anyway all is working now, thanks for the help

Hi, I also had problems with USB after 3.2 rom update. I always get a USB not recognized and I can't flash with any exe ROM. Even in bootloader it was not recognized. Did you have the same problems with the phone?
