Nothing happening? bricked Wizard

[Gazoo22]

I have a Wizard 200 and I tried to unlock it, I loaded the Love rom and that worked, but CID locked I then loaded 1.05 rom and when it finished I just got the splash screen, so I removed the battery and now it will not power up and there is no led display even for power, I am sure there is some charge in the battery as it was 75% when I was loading the rom.

Now I have no display and no power in, nothing, is this truly a brick?

YES, that's what we call a bricked phone; when it does same as a brick: NOTHING.

I'm guessing you have a G4 and tried to apply procedures meant for G3.

My advise (and only thing possible now) is to get another battery or charge yours on another phone and see if it lights up...

I tried the plug and unplug with no battery process and I get a red light flashing, but nothing more then that, I am guessing I can't post a boot because of the wrong rom loading (it said prodigy for new version when I loaded the rom) Does anyone now of a way to re-write, access, or reprogram the chip, in a jtag type connection, any service that i can pay for to revive this thing.

one other thing if someone can help me, CAn I take a G3 and make it a G4 with a rom upgrade?

I swear I seen 2.21 for IPL/SPL and OS sytem(it was a lock O2 xda mini s) when I started the process and the next screen said it was 2.21.0001 for IPL/SPL with OS 2.26( I used the LOVE rom and the loader was in Italian, that worked fine but the CID was still locked, so I loaded the last rom and ended up with IPL 1.05 and SPL 2.21.0001 I forget what OS it was last loaded with.

No,you cannot make a G3 device to a G4 device with a Rom upgrade.They are entirely made of different DOC chips with different Bootloaders.You cannot flash a G3 Rom unto a G4 device which contains IPL/SPL in it.cuz a G3 has IPL/SPL 1.xx or 2.xx bootloaders and a G4 device has 2.xx.xxx1 bootloaders.A Rom containing 1.xx bootloaders if flashed to a G4 device will Brick the device.This has been Warned many a times on the forum.That's exactly what you did.You flashed a Rom with containing IPL/SPL 1.xx (wizard_love_rom and Button's Rom)
It's clearly visible from the SPL 2.21.0001 which you have posted,that you had a G4 device.It's wrong to say that it was actually with a IPL/SPL 2.21 in the begining and with flashing it changed to SPL 2.21.0001,cuz both the roms which you flashed only have IPL/SPL 1.xx or 2.xx, they will always downgrade to 1.xx,it cannot make it 2.xx.xxx1.

Take mestrini's advise and try to charge or get a fully charged battery to make the phone start and try to go into bootloader screen,if it's able to get into bootloader mode than there are chances of it's revival,by flashing the official carrier's rom from the bootloader,ok
good luck

Ok, thanks for the reply and correcting and pointing me in the right direction, my battery says 3.57 volts on a meter, any idea what a fully chargered battery should read on a meter, not sure how i am going to charge the battery but I will try to find a way.

If i remember correctly from my Nokia days a battery would not wake the phone below 3.2v and would not allow to charge below 2.4 :confused: (not sure though) but wouldn't also never reach the 5v when fully charged

So i'm guessing that your battery has enough 'juice' to fire up a 'good' bootloader. Sorry to tell you this but either make up some story with the repair center or sell the housing and other parts to get some money back...

Sry,it's not my field :( ,I don't know what a fully charged battery shud read on a volt meter,better ask some person who got experience with it,:)

Ya I think the battery has the power to boot the sytem, it is reading 3.66 when I measured again and my xda IIi reads 4 volts after a full charge, so I think it is down to a corrupt boot loader and I have yet to see anyway to program it like I do with jtag on satellite boxes, I had backed up what i could before flashing but no way to put it back in.
