View Full Version : OMG, Help! - Cannot Boot

So I am trying to Re-Flash my T-Mobile Wing.
I HAD TouchIT Vista on my Phone and wanted to put on a new version.
While trying to re-flash, like i did before, I would connect to my phone, then it would drop while starting the flash. So I decided to flash on the Stock ROM. Now, being a complete idiot, I started the Flash (BAT file) before putting Itsutils.dll into the Windows folder... Now I cannot boot into my phone. But I CAN boot into BootLoader.
I dont know how to use BootLoader tho. What do I do to get this back up and running? Dear god, I hope I didn't brick my Phone!

-press and hold your camera button on the side of your phone
-while holding the camera button, press and release the soft reset button
-dont let go of the camera button until you enter a tri-colored screen.
-now you are on your bootloader screen

Yes, I know how to get into Bootloader, but How do I execute this stuff in bootloader?
I do not show a connection to ActiveSync (Or in this case, Windows Mobile Device Center) when I am in BootLoader.

-remove sim and storage card
-hook your phone to your computer, and then go into bootloader while hooked to the computer
-try to run the regular stock rom utility while in bootloader
-if that does not work, then follow my instructions from above

OK...
I can ONLY get into Bootloader.
My Process:
-Load Bootloader...Ok
-Connect USB...Ok
-Start ActiveSync...Ok
-ACTIVESYNC, NOT CONNECTED..
-Start Stock ROM Utility
-No Device Connected
Going to try it with HERALD-USPL-beta3 instead of Stock-ROM now..

while in bootloader, read your spl number. is it lower than 4.0.0.0?
Fenopy
25th September 2008, 05:29 AM
No.
Bootloader Screen:
IPL 4.10.0002
SPL 4.70.Yang
USB
EDIT:
How long Should I let herald-uspl.exe from Flash Center run before I give up on it?

uspl doesnt seem to be going anywhere (10 min now, still step 1)
I am downloading a different Tmo rom (not the bat files i hope)
Will be trying that soon.
Thank you for your suggestions btw

if the ruu.exe doesn't run on the bootloader and uspl isn't working, then unfortunately, i am at a loss.
there are a few sites out there on tutorials for bricked wings... here is a link to one of them:

Okay, So now I am in a bit of a pickle... lolz
Ran the TMo Stock ROM...
It Kills my ActiveSync connection immediatly.. Doesnt see my phone.
So I reinstalled, restarted.
Retry...
Saw my phone.
Started to install. Got to 1%, then my phone booted out of BootLoader, now is back at the TouchIt Loading screen (where it is frozen).
EDIT1:
Yeah, I did the Recovery Process... It keeps going to 1% then Restarting.
EDIT2:
OMG, loading now!
Next Update Soon! (42%)

if you are getting to 1% and it is rebooting, then you should be able to use uspl to fully flash a rom. just put the nbh from your stock rom into the ruu folder and run uspl. that worked for me.

OMG Back to Stock ROM! Fuckin Yey!
The Stock RUU was able to complete (When it rebooted @ 1%, I forced it back into BootLoader) it then rebooted again, but actually finished this time. :)

Well, my problem came from ActiveSync... No matter what I did, It would disconnect. (This is after trying 6 DIFFERENT PCs [2 Vista] and failing) so I was trying other ways to Flash. Never again. Lolz.
EDIT:
Back at it... Flashing Hard-SPL now. lolz.
USPL totally works better... lolz.

I was about to say that. lol
But anyhow, if you want a better way to flash if you have a HardSPL and an SD card, you can flash the way I flash my ROMs. No ActiveSync needed and therefore no activesync errors.
Oh, and yes, ActiceSync never shows a connection per say while in bootloader mode.
