Exclamation Help, thnk I bricked my G4 Wizard

I had my wizard upgraded to WM6. I was trying to upgrade it again to PDVait3 WM6. I was running the Shell tool. Even after an hr didn't go through, so I killed the process. When I reboot my wizard it stops with the bootloader screen. There is no usb at the bottom. This is what it reads

IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811

No usb at the bottom of the screen. Active sync doesn't connect.

Is there a way to bring back the usb connection.

Any help will be appreciated.

Default If you see bootloader, it is not a brick

Hi,
im not a Guru on this, but i had a similar problem.
I THink your phone is not bricked since you get to the bootloader,
ActiveSync wont work since there is no OS on your phone, but nevertheless the USB is working and you must flash a need OS through there.

Download the Wizard Love ROM, and keep it always in hand since it works 100% of the time.
Unzip it and then run: newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe
Thats pretty much all you need to do.
It will flash the wizard love rom, and youll get your phone up and running again in no time.
Dont stop or kill the process until its done, you will notice it hangs around 14% and 96%, it will complete , dont stop it, it takes about 10mins or more.

If you want to try a new OS, like WM6, read the first sticky on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...293480&page=14. I have use this method and i went from Wizard Love rom to PDAVIET4. Then from PDAVIet4 to Aku3.3v2 (but did not work). I flashed wizard love, and then using the method i went from Wizard Love to Aku 3.3v2. Works like a charm.

Please excuse my english, im spanish.
if you have any question, mail me.

Yup, don't be afraid. Currently I have faria's 3.3 ROM, and it doesn't show anything. Take any G4 ROM, load into bootloader, then connect to USB and flash. Good luck!

Thanks for the response edgardito.
I tried flashing with Wizard Love but no luck. It gives an error pretty much saying check your usb connection to the device and computer.
The problem seems to be the Wizard is not connecting to the PC. I went from AS 4.5 to 4.2 but no luck.

Is there any other thing I can try? Please let me know.
I am attaching a jpeg showing the screen. Resolution might not be that good.

This is just a boot splash, put the device in the tri-colored bootloader mode as described in the wiki. If you are getting that boot splash you should be able to get into the bootloader. Try to flash again using your carriers original ROM (whole RUU intaller) if you have it, but do not use the one from HTC's site. Try 1) In activesync disable usb connections 2) kill activesync processes (wcescomm.exe) on the PC using task manager before running the RUU.

Smile It works !!

Thanks guys for the help. The solution was so simple. Just had to put the phone in the boot loader mode by holding the camera button and pushing the power button. I loaded Wizard love on it.
Thanks to all the people who helped put together Wizard love. It has saved my a$$ so many times.
