HELP PLEASE!!
Ok so i think i bricked my wizard!
I have the t-mobile MDA wm5 unlocked g3.
I've flashed it to the WM6 Rom and everything had been working well, except there was no MMS feature on the phone at all which sucked! :(. My girlfriend thought it would be better if she did the "windows mobile update" icon feature that was on the phone to speed up the phone....She downloaded the updates & my phone shut off!! When it rebooted everything seemed normal...
1st.
T-mobile screen
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811
-Then i get the green windows mobile splash screen, but after i get an error message!!
*Device Authentication*
“Device authentication failure. Please contact the product manufacturer. For reference, please provide your device ID.
3563820017905901 38000050bf3f5173”

Ive tried to boot in safe mode to try & flash my phone again but for sum reason my computer wont recognize my phone is plugged in! What do i need to do?!? Please help, any help is thankful!

easy men easy... but please tell to your girl dont push everything that she dont nderstands... Everybody knows that upgrade official is only for original OS like windows XP or VISTA..

Firs of all
Put your Wizard on bootloaders mode... plug in via usb the PC Active sync wont recognize your phone.. then run the original shipped Stock ROM and then your Coocked rom...

But if the PC at the same time you place your Device on Bootloaders and plug it via USB... shows a pop up message that said Windows cant recognize your device or unknown device or something... Restart your Pc... Hard reset your PDA... and replug your Device as I said it before... if not check your USB cable maybe a broken cable failure...

IF NOT?????!!!!!!!! then Use another PC with XP!!!!!

If it still on his not reconized message you are in serious problem but your girfriend Too...

Good luck

Easy..."Device Authentication failure" is caused by your ROM. Just flashing another custom ROM and the message should go away.

I'm surprised that the chef that made your WM6 rom left the Windows Update feature in there, it was bound to crash a cooked rom, since the update service never worked properly anyway.

I'm sure flashing another rom will resolve this.

yeah, flash the rom (you might want to try WizFlo 20273 v6.1.1.3 - i'm on it, and loving it). heck, you can even do a hard reset and that would probably resolve it.
