Bricked diamond...

Alright i have a telus HTC diamond (CDMA) and iv unlocked it with cmonex bootloader (The CDMA version on PPCGeeks). I dont know wut i touched but now my phone doesnt boot into windows, it just keeps resetting... When i type rtask c into MTTY (I can still get into the bootloader) it says
Calibration
No Card inserted

You MUST install HardSPL before doing anything else........also, try a hard reset......

i do have a hardSPL... i have 0.43.CMONEX on the phone right now and i already tried hard reset many times but it does not work...

Sorry about that. my mistake.........

When did that first occur ?
After flashing Hard SPL ?
Anything we need to know about that ?
Could be that NAND is broken. Do a check on bad blocks.
Cya,
Viper BJK

No it was not flashing of the hardSPL... it must have happened when i was trying to figure out how to change the esn... only thing i cud think of that i did wrong was I did the QMAT security unlock with HTC on command which was in the QMAT manual... but i dont think that would brick it like this... would it? also how would i do a bad block check on a diamond... could u list the commands in order? i dont want to mess it up even more...
EDIT: Well apparently i do have bad blocks... what to do now? is that the reason why i cant boot into windows?
It also says my device name is a samsung... which i dont think is right...

bump... for viper 2 c

1. Ok ... what command did you use using QMAT ?
2. Did you change any bootmethod or anything else with for example debugtool ?
The bad blocks seem to be not the problem.

the commands i used in QMAT were "rseed" and "rpass" "set 16 0"
i also followed these steps after the brick
1. Get mtty
2. Connect to USB, press enter
3. Type task 32, enter <--Donno what is it for
4. Type 28, enter <--format DOC
5. Flash CE Rom only
6. Hard Reset
but that did not work either...
Also could you give me some examples of commands on changing bootmethod as im not sure if i used any... and i did not touch any debug tools...

ok here's some tips/ideas:
try typing "boot" in mtty or qmat
if this doesn't get the OS booting then you can try "set 14 0"
if that's no good, then to read config flags you can use "readconfig" (as you have MFG spl), all values should come back as 0x0, if not, let us know.
for bootmodes you can check your current bootmode in oemsbl after rtask a. you can try setting it to 0 ("setboot 0" command after typing "rtask a") but i dont think that's the issue.
(note, all the other commands i listed are not for rtask, only setboot is.)

alright i tried all the commands and heres the results
When i type just "boot" the device just keeps reseting
When i type "set 14 0" it comes back with a string of
HTCST ÚÈÒHTCE
and doesnt do anything
"readconfig" all the values are 0x0 like they should be i suppose
and when trying "setboot 0" it gives me an invalid cmd error while in rtask...

HTC_SMEM_CE_RADIO_DBG_FLAG: 300
doesn't seem to be 0x0. You are sure that all items in readconfig are 0x0 ?
Ok ... it seems that the bootmode is incorrectly set.
Try to "setboot 0" after "rtask a".
That will only work if your device is security unlocked

Yes im sure that there all 0x0... unless im looking at the wrong thing but HTC_SMEM_CE_RADIO_DBG_FLAG is not in the readconfig...
Also it tells me that setboot 0 is an invalid command... and im pretty sure im security unlocked (SuperCID and the bootloader says security unlocked at the top)... only thing i can think of is maybe the 0.43.CMONEX bootloader does not have the setboot command...
Cmd>rtask a
Enter Radio Bootloader
POWER ON PMIC VREG_USB : SUCCESS!
ECHO ON MODE
setboot 0
Invalid cmd!...
readCID
@CID: 00000000

EDIT: Alright so i just found this new command "checkimage" and it came up with
Cmd>checkimage
SPL CRC checksum = 0x40142266 CE CRC checksum = bad=0x300
bad=0x45A
0xA069868D ExtROM CRC checksum = 0x0

Click to collapse
which is where i believe the HTC_SMEM_CE_RADIO_DBG_FLAG: 300 is coming from... any ideas?

Ahh ok .... way better.
Yes, setboot is only available on MFG Bootloader.
As you can see, the CE OS CRC failed. So you need to flash CE OS again.
Be sure that you flash a valid ROM. Try an original one from HTC.
Maybe you've got a connection problem whilst uploading. Try to flash again using another PC
If that doesn't work out, it seems your nand flash is broken.
Cya,
Viper BJK

alright so i flashed the original sprint shipped rom again buh that did not fix the checkimage error... so any more ideas on how i may fix this
NAND broken as in theres no way of fixing it ?
Also i got a tip from someone aty ppcgeeks to flash the radio via rtask... would that make a diffrence as opposed to flashing normally through the bootloader and RUU?

Err flashing via rtask is possible ... but it's really user-un-friendly and more risky
I guess they thought about rwfactory command ...
I'll rethink the options in the next days and will come back to you.
Cya,
Viper BJK

Alright so heres another update on my progress or not so progress... lol
I flashed the verizon CDMA radio that was just released (For the HTC TOUCHPRO but works on the diamond as well) and now instead of the phone resetting it just keeps vibrating right after the touch diamond text/Red info screen...

I really guess your NAND is broken ....

[HELP] Days with a bricked Diamond

Day2 with a bricked Diamond....
=================================
Background
==========
Happened while trying to flash EnergyROM released 7/22
WinXP, not on any USB Hub, and on Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-Olinex.
The vol down + back + reset method doesn't go to completion (I have had no issues with BsB roms so far using this method), on the Diamond it shows :
--------------------------

--------------------------
If I try to soft reset the screen shows the classic bootloader screen, and the RUUNBH at the top-right:-

Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
--------------------------------------------
I am able to re-flash this HardSPL (and in doing so removes the ROM Upgrade Error and enter into Bootloader mode (vol down + reset) successfully.
I am also able to re-flash my Radio (Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05.nbh).
Any rom however that I then try to flash using CustomRUU/ROMUpdateUtility does not work, it always gets stuck at around 20% with the below error:
---------------------------------------------------------
ERROR 226 : FLASH WRITE
Flash write error happened. Pls check your PDA phone.

I read that I am supposed to be trying signed ROMs that work with my HardSPL, and went to this thread to get one, but same thing it is also stuck at 20%.

Have also tried the below MTTY method describe in some of the Kaiser (Yes, pretty desperate, getting stupid) threads:
======================================================================================
1. Download mtty.exe from here: http://taeguk.co.uk/xda
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
3. Kill the following two processesto stop active sync; rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe (Ctrl+Shift+Esc, select from the list of processes).
4. Connect your Kaiser to PC using USB cable.
5. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
6. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
7. Type the command "boot", you should see something like this:
Cmd> boot

try to connect the phone with mtty and type task 29.
this should format your phone.
then connect it with activesync and flash a stockrom onto it.
it that works, try flashing a design rom.

Trying stock rom again.....

on my old phone i had to type
format BINFS
to format the flash. you could try that.
if the rom flash still does not work.
you seem to have a bad block on your internal memory. i am not sure how to get around that.
a stock rom fills the entire rom space with new information. that might introduce problems as well.
maybe you should also try a design rom (not the energy one, because that is a large rom)
try the bsb or deepshining. they have less information and might not use the memory at block 26.
if that does not help, you will have to find people with more knowledge than me.

Still can't flash the stockrom still stuck at 26% after trying task 28...
I can't get the format BINFS command through:
Cmd>format BINFS
Command error !!!
Thanks for your time anyway dude... appreciate it.

i am sorry that there is not a solution on a silver platter.
so after reading my link things you could try:
the hardspl is made by the same person. maybe he included the task 2a in your spl as well?
apparently fixing a bad block can be done with a hardspl. maybe you can send the guy creating the hardspl a personal message with your problem.
get your magic wand, wave and say "reparo"
throw your phone out the window or send it for repairs.

Dude, thanks for your answer, nothing helped me still...
I have tried to PM the SPL makers, but quite sure they wouldn't have time to respond Eventually i have had to book my Diamond in for repairs, not sure what is the cost/repair.
My problem now is what should I do in future, since I figure I will flash again... don't see what I done wrong that can suddenly cause this to happen in the first place... I have been flashing for about a year now.

there is never any garantee for flashing.
things you can try are the same as the things you tried to restore your phone.
so format or flash a stock rom, before a custumized rom.
do not try every rom, but just the ones that seem professional.

i know this is old topic but i want to contribute.
just today had sort of same issue, except my device flashed full until the end where RUU replied error and the device got stuck spl with RUUNBH. i did task 29 and the flashed a stock htc rom and that fixed issue. just like that.

Hello Everyone!
I'm having the same issue as OP, but I tried task 29, task 28 55aa, task 28, and neither worked for me. The flash of a single OS stucks at 76% with flash write error (226), I've searched the forum for hours, but none of the same flash error code issues was mine. I can reflash radio, but not the os, my hardspl is olinex 1.93, when I reflash the radio it start and stucks at the Touch Diamond screen with the radio and stuff number on the right side. If I then try to flash a rom (even stock rom from HTC site!) It freezes around 65% with the same error. If I command in mtty task 16 0, then again it freezes on the Touch Diamond screen. Please anyone can help?
UP: Got it resolved!! My internal flash is damaged, coz if I flash a 60Mb rom, it succeedes, if I flash a rom with over 80mb in size, it fails.

[TUT] Unbricking your Cavalier

Everything you ever needed to know about "unbricking" your Cavalier but were afraid to ask is in this guide. I've put together this little guide for those of you who either intentionally or unintentionally bricked your Cavalier. There are three methods you can use depending of the severity of the "bricking".
But, before I even get into that, if your phone is in fact working right now, I highly recommend you flash HardSPL to avoid even having to follow these steps anytime in the future. The steps and info for HardSPL and JumpSPL can be found in this thread by jockyw2001:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398945
HardSPL basically flashes your phone with an "unlocked" security partition so all security checks are bypassed when you try to flash a cooked ROM or a ROM designed for another variation of the Cavalier such as Dopod, HTC, or Softbank. Makes life much easier when trying different ROMS or cooking and testing your own! Thanks jockyw2001!!
Ok, so onto the fun stuff... You flashed your phone and it won't boot. What do you do??
First and easiest way to try unbricking is:
Get a hold of your Shipped ROM. If your Cavalier is a Dopod, you can find these ROMS either in Dopod's site, HTC's site (with a valid serial #), or right here at XDA (ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Smartphone/Cavalier/Shipped_Complete_Updates/Dopod/)
Remove the SD card if one is inserted in the phone
Remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds. I found this step to be essential to reset the device. Put the battery back in.
While holding the camera button on the right side, press the power button. The phone will enter "bootloader" mode and you will see a tricolor bootscreen.
While in this mode, plug in your USB cable and you will hear the "ba-bing" USB sounds as the device connects
Unpack the ROM package you just downloaded and run RomUpdateUtility.exe. Follow the steps, check the appropriate boxes, and start the flash
Assuming all goes well, your phone will flash to the factory ROM and you can then troubleshoot what went wrong the first time that bricked your phone.
What if this doesn't work?? Or what if it flashes but the phone still doesn't boot. Or what if the flash stalls or fails? Don't panic!! That's the worst thing you can do. Try this next step.
The second mothod to unbricking your phone is:
You will need to download some tools. Downlload MTTY from this post and unpack it.
Remove your SD card
Use the method above to put your phone into "bootloader" mode and connect the USB cable
Go into Activesync and under File, Connections, uncheck "Allow USB Connections" and hit ok. Activesync will now show a red X in the systray icon
Now, launch MTTY and for port, select "USB" or \\.\WCEUSBSH001 (or any variation) and hit connect. Tap enter a few times to get the Cmd> prompt. If you don't get the prompt, review the steps and try again.
Next run the following commands to check for bad blocks and format you OS partition:
Code:
Cmd>task 32
(if you get Level=0 you are good to go)
Cmd>info 8
(This will give you bad block information if any)
Cmd>task 32
Cmd>task 2a
(Let this run and check for bad blocks, may take a while)
Cmd>task 28
(This will reformat your storage partition, if you get "Storage format success" you're in business)
Now flash back your shipped Cavalier ROM and you should be good
Oh no!! That didn't work!? Or it worked but the flash failed with Error 270 or another error......... Never fear!! XDA-Developers is here! This next method creates a "goldcard" which is used to SuperCID the Cavalier so that it doesn't care about what factory ROM you flash. Please have the factory (not a cooked) ROM ready to go.
The third "goldcard" an final method is a bit more intensive so follow closely:
Get a cup of coffee or tea
You will need a working Donor HTC device with a microSD slot and a microSD card that is smaller than 1GB (will be formatted) to create "goldcard" image using QMAT tools as described below
You will need QMAT. Get it from http://revskills.de/index.html.
Go to the Download link and download the latest version and unpack QMAT
Have some coffee
Use a SD card reader in your PC to access the SD card through Windows. Format the SD card with FAT32.
* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device and connect the USB cable. If you unchecked "Allow USB Connections" in Activesync in an earlier step, make sure you recheck it so that you can establish a full USB sync connection to the HTC device.
Open QMAT and go to the "Hardware Forecsics" menu and select "Generate HTC Goldcard"
In "Select device key:" select the Cavalier
You will need the serial number fro the SD card so click the "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device" button
Once the Serial number appears in the box, click the "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD" button below
If no errors pop up and all goes well, proceed to these next steps
If you get an error or a popup saying "Goldcard for newer devices isn't implemented in newer devices", you must buy and register the software. Believe me, it's worth the small amount of $ you will spend to bring your expensive device back to life!
Now remove the SD card with the newly written Goldcard image from the Donor HTC device
Insert the SD card back into your PC using the microSD card reader adapter. Browse to the drive letter assigned to it. You will see no files on the SD card, this is normal.
(If, for some reason your PC sees the SD card as unformatted, something went wrong. Remove it and reinsert it into the Donor HTC device. The device should see the card as unformatted and ask you to format it, say yes. Now go back to the "* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device" step above and repeat the steps)
Unpack your Dopod or other factory ROM and copy RUU_Signed.nbh to the SD card. Once it had finished copying, rename the file to CAVAIMG.nbh. Remove the SD card from the PC.
Make sure the Cavalier is off and insert the SD card
Enter bootloader mode as mentioned earlier (hold the camera button while pressing the power button)
You will see a gray screen that says "loading". It will then find the CAVAIMG.nbh file and ask if you would like to start the update process. Follow the instructions and let the phone flash.
It will take 10-15 mins but your phone should boot fine and be back in action!
QMAT is a VERY powerful tool written by viperbjk that allows for full low level manipulation of HTC and WINCE tasks. Read all about it here http://revskills.de/index.html.

To get a "Pro" PPC SYS to boot on a SP is a lot of work. I got it to work once but majorly buggy. You have to remove any and all touchscreen drivers and apps as well. Not easy... The more I learn, the more I realize that the homescreen issue is hardware related with the way the new 21XXX core and up accesses hardware. I think that's why HTC abondoned the Cav so early. WM 6.1 19XXX is probably the best we're gonna get on t he CAV.

Need help
I have tried 2/3 methods all thats left is the gold card method but i dont have a working dash. Is there any way someone can send me the files necessary to make it without having the working dash?

[Q] Can't boot my diamond after ROM flash

Hello averybody. I am new here and I actually don't know if this is the right place... my apologies if not.
Yesterday I put the hard spl 1.40 olinex on my diamond and, after that, everything was ok. I then tried to put a new ROM (Eto.y-2.4-ITA) but I probably missed something (was my first time... ).
anyway, in the middle of this operation something gone wrong and now mi diamond is stuck on the black screen, showing "touch diamond". I tried soft reset, hard reset, I formatted the movinand from the bott menu, but it keeps not to load. I just tried with mtty: the 1.42 version couldn't find the usb port, while the 1.0.0.1 seemed to work, but at the end the mobile still doesn't work. problem is: my active sync doesn't see the diamond when it is plugged via usb......
any chance to save it?
thank you all so much

Your problem is related to Eto.y roms,them are good but the flashing software included automatically does task29(Erasing everithing on the diamond's nand)so your diamond will not boot,to make it boot again,reboot the phone holding volume down,connect to the pc,the pc will find a new device and install the drivers,then flash another rom from the pc,don't use the eto.y software,If you want eto.y rom,rename the .nbh file included to DIAMIMG.NBH,paste it in the internal storage,from the phone press soft reset,then volume down and back key,then power key and follow the instructions

thank you for the reply. unfortunately, my desktop PC doesn't see the diamond and active sync doesn't estabilish a connection.

this is the last part had with mtty

In bootloader(after holding volume down) mode?

neither..... if I plug the USB cable in bootloader mode, the display changes from "serial" to "USB" (and that's all).

Once it changes to USB start flashing another rom from pc,but don't flash eto.y with the included software

ok thanks. any suggestion for a suitable ROM?

eto.y are really good.
before flashing eto.y choose a random rom,click on a random thread and flash it

thanks, but.... maybe it's just me being idiot...... how can I flash a new rom if I cannot paste the .nbh file into the diamond?
:-(

Download anoter rom, be sure that in the rom's archive there's ruu or Rom update utility and then delete the .nbh included and put the eto.y .nbh

that's it mate! thanks so so so much. I just couldn't understand, because it kept asking to establish an active sync connection before to flash a new ROM, and it just couldn't.. but it worked anyway, somehow.
brilliant!

Same problem here
Hi guys,
I suffer from the same, the diamond won't pass the "TOUCH DIAMOND" black screen.
i entered the boot loader mode (the screen with the colors) i have there 1.40.Olinex and after my windows7 finished installing the drivers "usb" appeared on the screen.
I tried to install "RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.37.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship" which i found in the forum but it doesn't help, the diamond will stay forever on the TOUCH diamond screen.
what am i doing wrong?
EDIT: Got it, i flashed to SPL1.90 and the phone finally finished booting into winmo,
Now i can run android on it

Rom problem after resurrection

hello to all. I hope that here I will find a solution to my problem. In fact I bought a verizon htc touch pro 2 second hand for months, I tried to do a hard spl but I was wrong to hspls. my phone was then brig. I resurrected with a riff box and now I can put it into bootloader (tricolor screen) but when I install a rom, the phone restarts and gets stuck on the touch pro 2 logo then restarts and vibrates, and gymnastics without even access the menu. also on the boot screen, I see marked Unlocked security
Rhod400 SS 32M BC
RIFFBOX Resurrected

Gold is a rhod500
What should I do? I have a chance to see him walk?
Thank you in advance

Does the Rom finish installing? Which Rom did you install?

I'm not even sure what RIFFBOX is, but perhaps this saved your device after the back HSPL??
Quite often, phones are dead - completely dead - after a bad HSPL. Surprising you got it back even partially.
Now, have you tried flashing the stock ROM back? So long as you don't relock, you will be able to flash another ROM back.

Last person that did a RIFFBOX recovery made their phone unrecognizable. They had a ton of issues, and their RHOD400 kept showing up as a RHOD100. Bad bad bad...
Why are you flashing things that are not designed for your phone? I guess I didn't see any explicit GSM ROM's in there, but why are you flashing Sprint's ROM on a VZ device... That shouldn't cause any damage, but it's also not a good idea - kinda like flashing the wrong HSPL..?
Perhaps you should try to get your phone back to a 'regular' HSPL state. I'm not sure if you can reflash HSPL, but if you relock you'll certainly have issues unlocking again.

Based on what you posted here as to what it says in bootloader on tge screen I don't understand why there is no spl version or info listed. I guess because you used that riffbox thing.
Your device won't function without an spl so I think that's what you need first, then a radio, then a rom.
I'm not sure how you are going to install an spl considering that you already tried to flash the shipped rom and the Hard SPL that is available is so "protected" that it will only flash to these devices under perfect circumstances.
Maybe try running task29 with just a bootscreen then flash the shipped rom again.
It really sounds like you need to find a different device or at least a different rhodium to replace this one.

hi
thank you for yours answers, but i don't have yet a solution for my phone. please tell me if my phone can well, if yes what i have to do? where can i find the original spl for my htc tps cdma (verizon)?
please help me

So you tried the task29 and reflash of stock? There's not a whole lot of other options other than rinse & repeat.

I've tried task 28, task 29 and task 32 many times but always the same thing. Asyou said i'll try again and i hope it will resolve my problem.
thank you for your answer.

I think the only way you may be able to fix this particular device is to use JTAG and then flash the shipped rom but I have only heard of others doing this and I have no personal experience doing this.
You'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth doing.

hi men, i have always my problem. today i've tried to reflash spl relocker and after hardspl, i had an error: flash write. please what can i do.

This is really the disturbing part. You don't have a bootloader?!? You said flashing stock failed, there's not a whole lot else you can try. I see you've tried all the mtty commands you could find, which other than task29 I'm not sure what would do you any good.
The fact that the bootloader is hosed is really troublesome. If you can get back to a "normal" bootloader, then you might be OK. That bootloader is causing you these issues, I can pretty much guarantee it.

I read the thread quickly but did not notice that you tried to Hardlsp your phone with teh correct version of HSPL. You mention SPL relocker. Did you try to flash the CDMA HSPL after you resurrected the phone?

hi
thanks for your answers.
i've tried the three versions of Rhodiumwhardspl but at 100% it tells me ERROR[226] FLASH WRITE and the phone returns on bootloader with ROM CODE update error, please try again.I'm trying it everyday but nothing do.

No help
i don t know if there is someone to help me.nobody in the all forums i ve written.ok i will through it because i m very desapointed,nobody can t repair it.
