Unlock T-Mobile MDA 3.16.48 ENG - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi!
Can you help me to remove SIMlock on this device?
I tried XDAunlock but: "error getting unlock code"
And with XDA2unlock it boot in Wallaby Bootloader v5.15. Then I get first: "USB Device Not Recognized" from WinXP, and if I try to say yes: "ERROR: OpenComport \\.\WCEUSBSH001 - The system cannot find the file specified.", although USB is disabled in ActiveSync.
Thanks for any help!

I just found:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz/Wallaby/SER
But I am little bit afraid to try it. Can I fully restore device to previous state if something go wrong?

Yes if you take SD backup first through the boot loader menu

I did it yesterday morning. It is working well.
Thanks!

Try the option fix-bootloader from the XDATools.
Then you should be able to enter the bootloader, and reflash your device...

need your help! restore ROM to MDA via SD card or mtty

Hi all,
I used mtty.exe r2sd all command to backup a working T-Mobile MDA rom (version 2.25) to SD card and tried to use it to restore a bricked (nearly bricked MDA), but I am getting "not allow update" error.
I can use mtty to connect the problematic MDA, and I have full backup of original ROM (version 1.08) via aWizard.
My question is: how to use mtty to restore the original rom? The back up rom were several .nba files, not bin file.
Thanks!
change to supercid without activesync connection
Now I can use mtty to check my MDA is not supercid. And when restoring ROM via SD card, it said "not allow update".
How can I change it to supercid without activesync connection?
Thanks!
problem fixed
OK, I just answer my own question.
The problem was I forgot to unlock cid before I flush rom. The rom update process stopped at 98% and after reboot it went into bootloader mode.
So I use patched_ruu.exe to write specical version rom to make it enter IU mode then magic happened: my MDA booted and intered the WM5 setting page.
Then I can get activesync connection and I immidiatly unlocked cid. Now everything back to normal.
The lesson is: ALWAYS unlock cid before flushing rom.
Happy flushing!

Deleting file in internal storage

Hello everybody,
I have tried to upgrade my Diamond with a new Radio ROM but it didn't work.
Now I'm blocked to a screen wich says :"
"Upgrade ROM code Error"
Even I have tried to make a har reset, I always obtain this screen.
Is there a way to connect the Diamond to my PC with the usb cable in order to delete the bad file (Radio ROM).
If it's possible, i think, it will boot normally ...
Thanks a lot !
Enter bootloader mode and reflash another Radio.
How can I do to enter in Bootloader Mode ???

Help-Artemis locked at startup screen

Hi,
I'm using Artemis with one of Tom's ROM. The device was working well. But today suddenly the device won't start up - it is locked at the startup screen showing the SPL, IPL etc. I can enter the bootloader.
Can anybody tell me how to flash the ROM at this stage?
Flash from bootloader
Hi!
Please download an official rom and keep pressed the Power and Record buttons. You will see a screen with 3 colors (red green blue). Connect the USB cable and wait for Activesync. After this start the original rom flasher and follow the instructions. If you can start the Windows, you should flash the USPL again and you can flash cooked roms. If you flashed a new one, i think you should also upgrade the radio rom.
Sorry for my English
well i'll give it a try.
BTW will activesync work if the phone is not booting up?
sure it will, but make sure you have the only phone pluged in, nothing else, and disable all firewalls and antivriuses.
Good luck
i flashed with htc official rom and it worked first. after soft resetting a few time (due to program installation) the phone again back to earlier state.
it is showing:
ipl 3.13.0001
spl 3.13.0000
gsm 2.94.90
os 3.13.0.0
and stuck at this screen.
i tried to update the phone again with the same rom - but i'm getting error 270.
do i need to unlock cid before flashing?
but i can't use the uspl tool as i can't connect to activesync.
pls help.
make sure the battery is fully charged again.
Restart your PC, isbale ll antivirus and firewalls
Better if flashing in XP PC
put PPC in Boating status
Flash Shipped ROM
Specify which software caused you the trouble and do not install it again
CID unlock PPC
Flash any cooked ROM.
once i flashed the phone with the shipped rom successfully. The phone was CID unlocked then. But now when I try to flash the shipped again i'm getting an error message (error 292 or something - stating-invalid vendor id)

you must unlock phone again.
I tried flashing the device with factory shipped ROM. but i'm getting Error 294-invalid vendor id message.
please suggest what to do?
chance are you have stuffed your bootloader...
start from scratch again by running uspl:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
than flash your favorite rom again, ideally via sd-card-flashing:

USPL needs activesync running. Can you tell me how to run USPL when I can't boot into windows?
well,
its been some time, but i am pretty sure uspl puts your device into bootloader and operates from there...
have you tried setting it into bootloader, connecting via usb and simply starting uspl?
running a normal setup-routine, there is no need to start it from wm either-simply put it into bootloader and start setup!
greetz
Well i tried that. But it seems that USPL doesn't work without activesync.
i've also tried flashing with SD card, but after a brief "Checking SD card content" message the phone goes back to bootloader.
Someone helpppp pls.
are u sure your sd card is correctly configured, according to the wiki entry- especially part "if above fails" ...?
if all steps fail, assumed you performed them correctly, you might try taking out battery and leave the device fully without power overnight...and restart it the next morning
I've used a 512MB SD card - formatted it- and copied the OS file as ARTEIMG.nbh - put the sd card in the phone and started the phone in bootloader mode.
I think there is nothing more to do.
I can enter the bootloader, connect the phone to PC in USB mode. So, I hope that my phone is not bricked.
But how to revive it?
if you are in bootloader, i dont see why you shouldnt be able to flash!!!
try another sd-card, use another xp computer, exchange the usb cable...
yust to be certain: have you left out battery over-night?
...and what are the details stated on boot-loader screen (numbers)?
oh, and I get the feeling you are not working exactly as told:
in your PC right-click on Computer, then select Manage
Select Disk Manager and then delete existing partition
create a new partition with max size 256MB
format this partition in FAT32

(ii) You can not do this with a removable disk (SD card inserted through a card reader). Only works when you can get WM5Storage to work.

...i dont have my micro-sd-card-adapter at hand atm., but there sure will be possibilities formatting your sd card accordingly...try administrative tools/computermanagement/storage/diskmanagement under xp, boot your pc with a diskpartitioner like acronis disk director...
i can only advise you to keep trying...but as long as you can not say for sure sd-card-flashing is working correctly, i wouldnt give up...
and as far as flshing bootloader via usb/activesync goes, i can only say i once screwed my device due to insufficiant battery power during sd-card-flashing and thought it was bricked just at the point you are stuck now!!! - totally resetting it with the power-oiut-method, i.e. battery out overnight, revived it!!!
than agin i sure as hell did everything the way it was ment o be done...and nothing worked until i switched to another pc/ usb-cable!!!
so, to sum it up, DONT GIVE UP!!! bootloader is showing...so there must be a way to get this to work...

HardSPL + MTTY, an almost bricked HTC Diamond!

I really need some help!
I was following the the post The DEFINITIVE MTTY Thread!! REVISED 02-11-09 and I made a mistake as follows;
blanktruth said:
Ok, first of all I did not think that it was this dangerous to use MTTY!.
I followed everything and came to these lines
---------------------
Cmd>task 8
Cmd>
---------------------
But after Cmd>task 8 my device restarted immediately before the second line Cmd> appears and I panicked and disconnected my device and pushed the wrong buttons while "Touch Diamond" logo was on the screen.
Now, nothing happens. I can not start from the beginning because I can not start the bootloader by pushing Vol Down and the small red reset button...
Is there anything else left for me to try? Or should I throw my HTC to garbage?
Click to expand...

Now, I do not know how, but I brought my HTC to bootloader mode and now I can see it via MTTY. But I mistakenly formatted the Internal Storage while I was trying to bring my HTC to bootloader.
Is there any way to upload the DIAMIMG.nbh file to Internal Storage? Or should I follow a different way to save my HTC Diamond?
i have the same probnlem!! with my diam300
my bootloader show not Diam300 64m but only 64M on the first position in 3color mode... plz help
Connect the Diamond and run the customruu.exe from your desktop, this should work.
how to connect if i used mtty... its clear everything what i have on device storage and in bootloader canot start stock or developed rom...
if i want start hard spl its say invalid model it....

The only thing to do now is to flash back a stock ROM or use a custom ROM with the RUU.
Solved!...
Dom1n8tr1x said:
First of, your device is supposed to soft-reset after the "task 8" command and you should have been holding down the "Volume Down" and "Back Buttons" to begin flashing your new ROM. The whole idea of using MTTY is to format your Main Storage and flash a new ROM. Therefor you should have loaded the ROM that you wanted to flash onto your Internal Storage.

Thank you for your reply.
Actually I had uploaded the ROM to my internal storage, but during trying to bring my phone to bootloader mode, I formatted the internal storage...
Anyway, what I did now is, first I opened the USB Connection feature from ActiveSync, and then used CustomRUU.exe to Flash the ROM...
Everything is solved now...
Thank you very much all...

bootloader is all you need to revive the phone
connect it to usb in bootloader mode and just install an oficial diamond rom from an windows xp pc.

Actually the most crucial part was to bringing phone to boot loader mode. And I think I managed that by pushing the Volume Down and Back (the arrow pointing left) buttons immediately after restarting my phone. And I had to do this after taking out the battery and putting it back after 5 sec.
When I pushed these buttons at the start up the phone tried to install the ROM from my internal storage, but as I explained I had deleted it by mistake. Therefore it could not find the ROM. I disconnected my phone from my PC and the screen started to say something like Retrying USB connection or waiting for USB connection, something like that.
I restarted my PC in Digitally Signed feature disabled by pressing F8 during start-up. Reconnected my phone to PC (the screen of the phone was still blinking as waiting or retrying usb connection). And voila the phone screen changed to boot loader mode...
The rest was easy. I opened the USB connection feature from ActiveSync and used CustomRUU.exe with a ROM to flash my phone...
That is all...
1. plug phone in to computer in bootloader
2. run customruu or stock from rom update on computer
3. wait for rom to flash to device
4.???
5.profit
but my booloader dont show model ID: DIAM300 64M what i had befor
and show me only: 64M
and any flash error with invalid model id, i canot flash, rom, stock rom, or hardspl...
understand me.. im not totaly noob... i used mtty X times... but now have this probles
can somebody help me?
my diamond dont have model id...
before i had in bootloader mode DIAM300 64M model id, but now i havent got... its show only 64M,
every rom flash stopped at 1% cose model id error,
every hard spl falsh finished 100% but after flash when device restart write model id error...
i cant do anithing... can somebody help me?
For everyone facing problems after flashing his/her device, take a look at the link in my sig.
There you can find a guide to restore your diamond.
you dont understand me..
i canto flash any rom any hard spl becous my diamond dont have device ID...
in bootloader dont show DIAM300 64M but only 64M
after all flash say error mobile ID...
i try mtty, hard reseted, soft... and nothing
after start its show me only first stock screan, the red text on the right bottom sight dont start: 1.17.25.14
2.100000
geny d2x
its maybe wrong but i forgot what waz here...
how can change device model ID? form 64M back to my stock DIAM300 64M?
Try another version of Hard-SPL, some people report that 1.40 not fully works.
I suggest you try 1.94 Olinex.
my diamond is death... if somebody know how can heal it... plz write me...
my device ID is missing... so i cant flash any rom, any hard spl, any radio...
try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425&highlight=invalid+model+id
im not sure but i dont think one can brick his/her phone after hard spl, thats the reason of hard spl in the first place that u dont brick it. boot loader is always present
Guide
if you are using Windows XP try the following steps:
Connect your device to your PC
In Active Sync > connection settings > check Allow USB connections (which you have un-checked while doing MTTY)
Find a ROM with CustomRUU.exe / diamond wrapper
Now enter into bootloader mode(forget about the device ID)
Go to customRUU.exe and run it
Follow the ROM installation steps
This will help you installing your new ROM.
I had a similar problem and i resolved it by follwoing the above steps.
