HELP: Unbricking a bricked Wizard

[daragh]

My HTC Wizard/T-Mobile USA MDA 'bricked' while trying to apply RUU_mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE-Fixed.exe :(

I don't know if if was because I put about 9 ROMs on there tonight (trying to do a definitive comparison of version, build, etc. for the community), or because I deleted the contents of \Extended_ROM (that shouldn't make a difference, surely?) - anyway it's dead.

When I turn it on (which is problematic even), it goes to the first splash screen, lists IPL and SPL (1.01) and OS (3.3.0.0), ***BUT NOT GSM!***
From then it is pretty much dead, but after about 2 minutes, the screen fades to white, and it seems to try and boot again.

Yes, I did take out the MiniSD, yes I did unplug the USB cable, and it only recovered when I pressed the CAMERA button while powering on, coming to the bootloader. I then started putting on CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE, and I'm off again!

This was to be a cry for help, but I managed to recover (thank goodness!) - I think I saw these instructions before, but wanted to share it with you.

How did you come to get an IPL version of 1.01?

Your SPL/IPL can not be lower then 2.**, you have to run a rom that put these to 2.** or 3.**, you will find on here the upgrade just for the 3.08 and then try again to upgrade to that rom!

you cross flashed IPL/SPL 1.xx with a G4 safe 2.xx rom. Flash with a full carrier rom (HINT: T-Mobile 2.26) then re-flash your 2.xx rom.

You do not need to downgrade to the button rom or any 1.xx rom for that matter once you are CID unlocked. Which you should be based on your information you posted above.

Guess I should have read closer. Glad you got it fixed.
