[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muttleytm:
I'm new to cellphones. I bought a used EVO 4G, rooted it and installed Cyanogen - once. In the process I've done quite a few different commands, but, don't have much memory of them and what they all do.

After a while my screen cracked. First I tried simply replacing the digitizer and when that didn't fix it I got a digitizer/lcd screen assembly. It still didn't work and the problem was the connectors on the main board for the screen, digitizer were bad. I then got a new main board and am getting farther, but, have a new issue.

The first couple of times when I started the phone I wasn't watching but I heard it making sounds and so forth but after a while it just went black. I did a hard reset (clear and then reboot). After that I again tried turning it on (without watching the whole time) and it acted the same. Then I watched the who process and found that it would get as far as the grey background with "4G" in yellow and white letters. After a while the screen would go to sleep but I can't pull the bar down to unlock the screen.

I know there are lots of commands and things I can do with adb, but, it doesn't appear to to be enabled. When I run "adb devices" on my computer while the phone has the grey background and the white and yellow "4G" it doesn't list anything. Then again it seems if the digitizer isn't working there should be an error when booting.

I see there is a bootusb option but I don't remember what it does. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I recently attempted to update the ROM in my Cingular 8125. The process stopped at 95% and I received an "Internal Error". Now, when I turn on the phone, it gets as far as the color RUU screen, and nothing else.

How can I find out if I can repair this situation myself or if I need to take it back to Cingular.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Hopefully you'll give Cingular a little more info regarding this than you gave us.

My psychic advisor is STILL on vacation so I can be of very little help to you, sorry!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DavidT.:
What ROM were you running before and what ROM were you trying to flash it with? Did you CID unlock before you flashed?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slapper:
Sorry - When I posted the 1st message, I was in a hurry...

I am not sure what ROM version was on the device before I attempted to update (I know, I should have paid attention, but I was not). The phone was new from Cingular and I had not done anything else to it besides load a couple of apps (Skype & Agile).

I attempted to run the file RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe that I downloaded from the HTC site. The update go to 95% and I received the error "ERROR [326]: INVALID COMMAND" - This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file." (I have attached a screenshot of the error to this post).

I am not sure what to do at this point.

Thanks,

Chris
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Some folks at the Cingular forum are having the same issue with no solution offered.

I'd suggest putting the device into bootloader mode (Holding Record and Camera buttons while soft reseting) and then reflashing. Make sure not to launch any programs while flashing. I also don't touch the device at all as I've noticed the USB connection might slightly disconnect.

Good luck and let us know what happens.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slapper:
I just tried reloading from the bootloader screen - no luck. Exact same error at 95%. Would it work to try to reload an original earlier ROM? If so, how would I go about trying that?

Chris
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xxpinballxx:
I had this same problem.....I went to the cingular site after having the problem. Before installing I stopped all applications then soft reset.

THen after it boots up install the file from cingular. It worked from their site. Not sure what changed but I am not having any problems now with the new ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slapper:
I have re-downloaded the ROM file from the Cingular site (actually it just redirects to the HTC site). Same problem. I cannot get to the point to even shut down any programs because the phone OS does not even load at this point. When I do a soft reset, I get the following (sorry for the blurry image - as you can see my good phone with the good camera is dead...)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vinyl313:
I had a similar problem. I posted the fix on another thread and ppl said i was wrong, this wasnt it...but heres what worked for me.

Are you using a usb port on the front of the computer? if so, try pluggin into the ports on the back of your computer. I tried flashing the official rom from cingular a few times using front port and it stopped at the exact same % each time. got the same thing as you, colored bars.

Someone had mentioned to me that front usb ports don't work as well as back ones. give it a try. good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xtreme23:
from the picture, it looks you have the G4 chip(u can see 2.25 0001)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slapper:
Thanks to everyone for their input. From the suggestions above, I have tried various USB ports on my laptop and I always get to the same point. I have also called HTC tech support and they are pretty sure I have bricked my phone. I talked to Cingular and they have agreed to replace it. I have also researched the G4 chip issues (looked at the post: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=56408).

Now I have the following question - When I get my new phone (which I will assume will have the G4 chip as well), the Cingular rep told me that it will already have the latest 2.25.0001 ROM on it. What are my options at that point to SIM unlock my phone. Will I be able to? From the post I referenced above, it sounds like I may not be able to with the G4 chip.

Chris
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ktwildchild:
I second this observation! :shock:

This makes a major difference on wether or not you can even upgrade.

Search for G4 issues.

The .0001 in the IPS/SPL number will tell you which one you have.

The way I understand it is:

2.25 - G3

2.25.0001 - G4

I think this is the proper way to identify it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Chris, LokiwizMSL ( http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=50768 ) can SIM Unlock your device. Be sure to read the instructions.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slapper:
Well - Now I have a new problem. So far, Cingular is refusing to replace my phone - saying that the ROM upgrade voided the warantee. I am still fighting that, but just in case I loose, is there any way to get my phone fixed once it has been "bricked"?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
If you installed an unofficial ROM then they are correct. You should never admit that you used a ROM that was not provided by HTC.

There are warnings all over this site about VOIDing your warranty.

Since you used the Official Update they are wrong.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] teladog01:
Same problem with official Cingular 8125 ROM

I tried to flash the official Cingular ROM from the HTC site here:

http://www.htcamerica.net/docs/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe

I got the same error at 95%:

"Error [326]: INVALID COMMAND This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file."

When I reset the phone I get the RGB bootloader screen and nothing else.

My phone is a G4 and was running ROM version 2.25.11.1 WWE before. The reason I tried to apply this ROM is because there was apparently no Extended ROM. None of the customization cabs executed on a hard reset. Also, in Device Information, there was no "ExtROM" listed.

This is the second phone that this has happened on. I thought the first time was just a fluke thing and I had a bad phone. But now I think there is an issue with this ROM.

Anyone have any idea what is going on here with this ROM? Does the fact that there was no Extended ROM have anything to do with this ROM not flashing properly?

Is there anything else to try or do I need to try to return the phone (AGAIN)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] evilito:
how to fix the problem

read this thread carefully. The upgrade problem seems to be occuring on G4 chipped Wizards with the most current IPL/SPL.

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088

take the official update. run it, when it finishes extracting look for the extracted NBF file in your

C:\Documents and Settings\yourusernamehere\Local Settings\Temp\the newest directory just made

find the NK.NBF file

extract it using the tutorial in the post above you will be flashing with the official cingular components sans IPL/SPL.

flash it and your are back up and running

I would have posted this earlier but i had to make sure it worked and was repeatable.

I think the problem with the new update is the new IPL/SPL version checking. It seems that if the patcher sees the same version already running it will give you that error at 95%. I've seen it on 3 phones already and I have been able to fix them by doing what i've told you above. You are already in bootloader mode and your phone is ready to accept a new rom anyways. My solution may not be the best for your phone and take no responsibilites but you are already desperate and need a fix. Good Luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] teladog01:
Thanks for the reply, evilito. Since I hadn't gotten any replies for a few days, I decided to go ahead and try to exchange the phone at the Cingular store. They were baffled that this was the second phone I had returned for the exact same problem, but gave me a new phone anyway. I wish now that I had waited so that I could try evilito's solution to see if it works. As it is now, I am too scared to try any flashing on this new phone after my results with the first two. I would really hate to have to try to return a third phone :)

Can anyone else verify that there is a problem with the latest Cingular ROM when flashing a G4? Or did I really have two bad phones?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jthornburgh:
Thats good to know, I thought that when we unlocked it and updated the ROM we lost Warentee Support. Where can you get the official Cingular 2.25 ROM. I am still on 2.17.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slapper:
jthornburgh - You can find the official ROM release at this link - http://america.htc.com/support/cingular_8125_downloads.html

evilito - I am attempting your fix and have a question. In filling out the fields in the nb2nbf.exe utility, it is asking for the OEM version and the Operator version. I am not sure exactly what it is asking for. Can you please give some assistance?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] evilito:
The official rom version is 2.25.11.1 for the 8125. so use 2.25 for both oem and operator.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slapper:
It worked!!!! OK. I am at least able to get passed the bootloader screen and the phone now loads the OS. Next challange - The ROM I cooked - per the tutorial - was based on the shipped 2.25 Cingular ROM. But, once I reloaded it, none of the Cingular-specific settings (favorites, Medianet settings, etc...) were loaded. I remember when I 1st got the phone, the 1st time I turned it on, several .CAB files were loaded. That did not happen after reloading this ROM. Any suggestions.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] evilito:
Yup same problem I've been having with mine too. But I am so relieved that i'm not carrying around a brick. You can go to the FTP site and grab the (225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Extended_ROM) files from there and all the stuff the phone runs on hard reset is there. You only need to run them once in the order they are in on config.txt and you will be back up and running. I decided no to do the smartdialer one since that was most annoying.

You can read my posts about the extension rom issues at http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088&sid=98a2e406e2ca88a4afa94f8922b67050

Risidoro is trying to help me out with the same issue you are having. I'm glad to help someone out of a fix.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slapper:
evilito - Thanks for you patiens and help. I feel I am almost there.

I found the Extended ROM files on the FTP site that you made reference to. Now, one final question. I am not quite sure what to do with them. I did a search on config.txt and see that (I think) that is the file that is used to determine what CAB files are loaded. There is also an autorun.exe file, that I assume kicks the install off. But, what I am not sure about is where to put the files that I have taken from the FTP site. Do I upload them to the 8125 and put them in a specific folder? Or something else.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] evilito:
if you have a storage card you can explore to there using activesync and copy them there or if you don't have a storage card you can copy them to a dirctory under mydocuments and run them from there. delete anything left over to save space if you are using main storage.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] cloud_171:
Alright my device expereinced the same thing here and I manage to restore it, downloaded the extended rom files but now I can't connect to GPRS anymore. There use to be a G/E icon but now it is just a disconnected icon. I just talked with a cingular rep and he said that I needed a data connect plan in order for it to work. Is that true? I was able to connect before fine. I was planning to order the medianet unlimited plan but the rep said that it won't work with it. Is that true?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] evilito:
you do need a data plan if you want to surf with the phone on the cellular network, otherwise u can surf while connected via usb or wifi if you are in a hotspot or at home. I went with the medianet 200 package. unlimited data/video with 200 txt msgs because i do use it on the go where wifi is not available thats when the edge/gprs icons come to play.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lectric:
Hrmmm... What FTP site? I was able to cook my own ROM and reflash to get past 95%, but like you all, I am unable to install extended features. Thanks

Lectric

Basically, Has anyone been able to get the extended files running on their machine? If so, please, how?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slapper:
I was able to, but not automatically. I downloaded all of the Cingular Ext. Rom files from ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co.../225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Extended_ROM/ , loaded them to a temporary folder on my phone and ran the .CAB files and .EXE files one at a time in the order listed in the config.txt file.

I am sure someone can find a more automated approach, but that would be someone smarter that I.

BUT.... Even though it was a pain to run them, I was eventually able to get my 8125 back to original Cingular shipping condition.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lectric:
:D I don't care HOW much of a pain it is. I just need my phone. THANKS! Gotta go try it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lectric:
By the way, worked like a charm. Thank you much, guys.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Br0ken:
Slapper and evilito, i been missing it with all day. kinda got a temp fix for it to auto install the ext rom.

grab the 225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Extended_ROM off the ftp and rename that folder to just Extended_ROM. Now drop that folder in root of your Mobile Device on the HTC. Use file explorer and go to the Extended_ROM and run AutoRun.exe. this will auto install the files. Just wish there was a way to do it when putting over a cooked rom.

good luck.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Guys, if your Extended Rom isn't executing upon a hard reset then it sounds like the device isn't truly unlocked. I believe that if you look at the IPL/SPL/GSM version being reported on bootup they didn't change since before the upgrade. I'm sure you're going to tell me that you unlocked and I believe you. But it's not unlocked. Trust me as I've seen this exact problem on my phone when I first got it. Since then I've done more than a dozen different Wizards numerous times. Follow Faria's steps not forgetting to copy enablerapi.cab to your device and executing it from there. Do NOT attempt this if you have a G4 ROM!!!!! And I know that it states that it doesn't work with phones that came preloaded with 2.21 or later but I've personally done 4 brand new Cingular 8125's that came out of the box with 2.25 and had no problem. Remember to extract Lokiwiz to a folder without any spaces in it (I just copy it to my C:\ and extract it there). Do the Enablerapi thingie, shell to a dos prompt and execute the batch file from there. Watch the screen and if successful your device will soft reset twice, once with the SIM unlock and once with the Super CID unlock. Trust me on this!

Good luck.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gribbler:
ok. Flying into this without really reading...

My biz partners and I got 3 cingular 8125, they went and picked them up at the border (i'm in .ca) and they went home ran lokiwz02b, then lokiwiz03, and there's worked, so i didn't read squat other than a couple quick webpage how to's. On the first wizard I got:

CopyFileToTFFS(unlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)

ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.

result=80072746

Your phone is now unlocked....

I ran the second one though that didn't seem to work either. My guess is that cause the first one didn't work I'm possibly going to have to re-install the original ROM. When I go to the device info:

Rom 2.25.11.1

date 5/11/06

radio ver 02.25.11

protocol 4.1.13.12

My friends have an extended ROM as well, so I'm guessing I need to run:

http://www.htcamerica.net/docs/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe

Is that correct or am I totaly off? Thanks all, and really I'm a brick for not reading more first, but I figured you buy 3, 2 work, the 3rd probably would as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
@gribbler - If you follow the directions I posted right above you you shouldn't have any problems. I've flashed over a dozen Cingular 8125's numerous times including 2.25's. As long as it not a G4 faria's instructions have always worked for me.

Good luck

My IPL/SPL are both 2.25 so I'm not a G4, right? G4 has a .0001 or something similiar?

Tnx
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gribbler:
ok, done. and working.

Thanks. Whoop whoop.

I ran the lokiwiz2b, then my friend said to run the lokiwiz3. put my sim in and now all works.

Now the OS on the phone is older, from what I've read, I can update it now, correct? do I need to lock the phone before doing so? can i upgrade to any version? I noticed that before when I put the phone in com mode, it had a few other icons than it does now, so I assume that's cause of the OS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Sorry but I've never used the lokiwiz3, only 2b as it has always worked for me. Trick is to downgrade to the 1.05, copy enablerapi.vab to the device and execute it from the device. Then unlock with lokiwiz 2b with the U and the C. Your device will reboot automatically each time if successful. If IPL/SPL and GSM revert to 1.x then your home free. Often I've downgraded twice to the 1.05 to get the GSM down, but that's me as I like to be sure.

Any problems, ask!
