HELP!!! I bricked my diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

I cannot get past the start up screen! I have the CDMA diamond used
HSPL057 and attempted to update to SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 (FULL) And now it will not go past the boot up screen!! What can I do?

you installed a GSM rom.
you need to do more reading.
1) Reading would have told you the differences between the devices and would have informed you you need hte correct one for your device.
2) you're not the only one who has done this if you do a search you will find how to recover from this issue.
3) i cant stress enough to read first do later. it helps you prevent situations like this.

Thanks for your help
The instructions said it was for SPRINT CDMA devices, that is what I have- I have searched all through out these posts and cannot find out how to recover from this. Can you please help if you know how?

Hi todaytoo.
Don't worry if you can get the bootloader screen just re flash a CMDA ROM from these Diamond forums.
(enter Bootloader by pushing the reset button while holding volume down key on the side)
Hope this helps ya out.
Try here for a CDMA ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430486

Thank you !!! Once I make it to there, do you know where steps are to fix my problem? I have been searching this fourm for hours before I worked up the courage to ask...or throw this phone at the wall

Once in bootloader mode connect to your PC via usb lead, wait for drivers to load, then
run a CDMA ROM.

Which CDMA ROM is best to use
I want to make sure that I chose one that will work this time....please suggest one..and Thank you sooo much!!!!!!!!!

I guess your kinda stressed at this point, so here is the line from my post
"Try here for a CDMA ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430486"

You are correct!! BIG TIME
Thank you so much for your quick help. I am downloading this right now. So once I download, connect via activesync, run the ROM and I should be back in business?

Nearly there..

Fingers crossed yes...
Read all the posts from the CDMA ROM page to get feedback and questions answered etc, and do a little more research via the "Search this forums" button before posting a query.
I guess we all started as XDA newbie's, so don't worry.

Got to log off now todaytoo.
Best of luck, will catch up on forums tomorrow.

Just 2 questions I think this was a good example.
Where is the CDMA Rom page?
What ROM exactly did you install? (todaytoo)

ok...its not working
ok, im at the bootload screen...I can connect to active sync. I downloaded the CDMA ROM it came in .rar format I changed to it .exe at when i run the ROM it does not do anything....

ok, now its not connecting to activsync....
Is there a trick that im not doing?

renamed a .rar file to an .exe ...new to computing?
You need to unpack/extract the rar file, just like a zip file.
Use winrar, when extracted all the goodies will be revealed!
/Psudo

wow...dont know where my head was
ok, so i have extracted it correctly....my device will still not conntec to active sync...when i plug it in from the bootscreen it changes to USB but activesync cannot find the device....any suggestions

Try to launch again your update while you're in bootloader mode...It should work !!

I just did it but when my device is in bootloader mode there is now
connection with my notebook (VISTA) anymore. When I restart my
PDA the connection is established.
there is a wiki guide to flashing under vista..
please note, that when you start the updater, and your device goes in to bootloader, it times out. So connection is lost. Simply start the update again, with device still connected in bootloader

Yes I did already as you describe the result is still no connection (error).
hmm... i think you're gonna have to use Pof's splxploit to load hard-spl and then flash another ROM from there.
It's a question of whether SPL 3.03 is exploitable in the same way...

i red this link already my friend but im not sure that i really understand the procedure in upgrading thats why im asking for the help of anybody who knows universal because it also iunclude in the link the procedure in upgrading wizard its very confusing for me.
thanks to your reply!
I have to agree with Andrei here, the doc is not very enlightening,
from what I have read there are a few things missing.
For example I don't know if I have to "unlock" my phone. I bought it on ebay they said it was unlocked, the phone was not available in USA&Canada they imported it somehow from Europe (it's an MDA Pro). I beleive it is unlocked already but ...some users here say "completly unlock your phone" ...which means...there are some other partial "unlocks" ???
The Wiki procedure says you have to backup your files...It is har to beleive that there is no standard reliable software that can be included and mentioned in this procedure. This is an important step and if anything goes wrong you must be able to find your way back to at least what you had had before you did the upgrade.
As for "the search button" ...I have tried that and ...)) the same results tons of answers ...you need years to read and to process all that info.
Guys,
After Having Device only for few days to upgrade may not be advisable. Therefore I suggest you to take few days to get to know your device and read more info.
REgarding the "Locked Device" means you would only able to use the device with the SIM of the Orginal carrier. As you already using the device in other country and other service provider..I guess you device is UNLOCKED.
Anyhow I will try to short describe how to upgrade goes.
1) Make sure you get the orginal OS of your device first. anything goes wrong you can flash back to that OS.
2) make sure you backup your personal files from the device( files;PIM;etc.etc)
3) make sure you have bootloader higher then V1.0
4) make sure you have full charged Battery
5) Remember that in cooked WM6 the vidoe call doesnt function anymore!!!
6) Download a cooked ROM available here in the Universal forum. ( the New ROM of Tomal V8.5 is great one)
7) I.E Tomals ROM file has got everything you need to Flash your device
8) Anything else is clearly descriebed in the WIKI "READ IT carefully"
Good Luck.. dont blame if anything goes wrong

Aparently if your PDA is seen by UNI_ExitBootloader.exe that means the reboot command is executed then you should be OK. But....I tried that and I had to try it twice, the first time didn't work.
So...apparently I will have to try to bootloder upgrade and after that burn the new ROM.
I still need a way to save the old one.
BTW, in what circumstances can yu damage your phone up to the point where you can not reflash it or use it anymore ?
nad one more question, will the phone work (calling and receiving calls) if the software is gone ? I believe it will not but...what do I know ? )
I'm also not totally clear on the instruction. Though they seem to be complete the style their written in leaves some questions.
If I have a G4 then is the file "HTC_Uni_SIM_Unlock_v1.rar" at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Tools_and_Programs/ is what is needed to unlock CID/EROM locks in preparation for ROM flashing?
Or is SIM unlocking totally different from the unlocking were talking about?
Thank you vary much!

1)I have no Vista therefore I cnt give you much info and that but I have read alot of issues with it. Therefore I suggest you to read more on how to upgrade in Vista.
2) I personally dont use any Backup Software. I syc. My Device with my desktop and M$ Outlook. Any Info that I have with contacts,Appointments,Task even My Documents folder and files. Those will be available on my Desktop and after upgrade you can Sync. them to you Device with new ROM
3) If you have BL 1.0 which means you should have G3 device then I believe you can use the JASJAR_BL1.01_RUU_v1.2.exe ???I have an MDA Pro.
4) UPGRADE in XP....YOU NEED TO CHECK HOW IS IT IN VISTA
4.1) Download Tomals ROM which comes in package like:TML_v85_WM61_20764_ST.exe (that is the standard OS).
4.2) Put your device in boot loader mode with button Comb. >power B + Back light B + Push the reset B <with stylus until you see on the screen the Boot loader Screen. Connect Device to your Computer.
4.3) Start the TML_v85_WM61_20764_ST.exe with double click and the installation will start.
4.4) follow the screen instruction.
4.5) After completing the upgrade Disconnect the Device from the Computer.
4.6) Push button comb. >push left soft key B + push right soft B + Push with stylus the reset B< untill you see message on the screen ....Push "0 (nill)" to set device to factory setting or something..
Well then you should be fine and completed your upgrade. AGAIN CHECK THE UPGRADE WITH VISTA.. I have no experience with Vista.

The realVGA is not included in the Tomals ROM. you need to download it separately.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830)
I am not that young anymore and therefore I found my self having issues with the RealVGA. 128DPI is nice but you need good eyes. 96DPI is not usable I would say

No other tools are required. Just put your device into booloader and connect with pc. The bottom of the screen should read USB. At this stage just follow the instructions that you would normal follow when executing the RUU_exe.
I'm sure you have already done this before but here is a guide ....http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4

Proper flashing procedure?

Am I right?
Unlock SIM

Flash Custom ROM
I have found individual threads all over this forum, but none on the correct procedure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You don't need to unlock the SIM.
As long as you install HARDSPL you're fine.

Roycio, Thanks! Everytime I sync my data connect shuts off and I cannot get it to turn back on. HARDspl is yelling at me that my phone is not sync'd, yet according to Windows Mobile..it is. Thought maybe I had to unlock my SIM to get it to work. Im stuck. I wanna flash but cant get HARDspl to go.
I guess I will have to do some more searching. Thanks again!
Okay, I have answered my own question. My HTC Touch Pro 2 is a CDMA-GSM Worldphone. No HARDSpl for it yet.. looks like they are close though.
~Andy

So, i think i bricked my phone.

Hi everyone, I was here last night and asked a stupid question.
Well I tried to flash the phone today, and when i was unlocking it. The Hard-SPL unlocker worked (at least i thought it did)
But when i waited for the phone to reboot, it wont pass the Boot screen. It just says Touch pro2
So, it wont start.... Did i brick it?
Oh, I can access the bootloader by the way. So if there is a way to save this phone, and possibly get to using a custom rom, i would really love to do so...

NO, you are fine. Does your bootloader show that you installed the HARD SPL? IF yes, just use the RUU_exe. file and download another rom.
Yes, it shows it is unlocked and running OliNex
I am sorry, i know how to mod other things, psp, xbox, wii, but this is a new thing for me. Thank you for letting me know i havent bricked my phone.
Is there a specific file this RUU_exe that you are talking about? or does that come with every rom?

Yes, most chefs include it with there rom. Plug your device into your pc. The bottom should change from serial to USB. Then flash the rom and your done.
Follow ...THESE INSTRUCTIONS and you will be fine.
