Damn near bricked my phone
I was attempting to install a new ROM on my 8125 and in order to install the one I wanted I first had to downgrade my phone. This had to be done in order for the unlock method to work, something to do with the bootloader I think.
I started up the ROM flashing program and I let it load then the damn thing hangs and crashes at 98% complete. I freak out, soft reset and the phone loads up that multi-color bootload screen... gasp. $#!% did I just brick this! I'm starting to sweat now, I realize that this screen I'm looking at is the bootloader which means I can still flash the ROM. I click on over to the HTC support site and download the most recent Cingular ROM and flash that.
Perfect! The phone took the ROM successfully and works just like it used to. Thank god, it was a stretch to purchase the phone in the first place so replacing it is not an option.
I'm still looking into ROM updates because I don't believe that Cingular/HTC will be releasing further updates to the Wizard line. Hopefully they will but for now I will still be reckless with my tech.
