imate kjam won't boot past splash

Hi,
First, I ran some tests on my kjam. The kjam came default with the kjam rom on it, naturally. I wanted to CID unlock this phone, so I downgraded the rom to button's "beer glass" splash screen rom. Then I was able to run aWizard successfully to CID unlock the phone. I then upgraded back to the original kjam rom. Both the downgrade and the upgrade went smoothly.
I then found out I wanted to customize my splash, so I downgraded again. I customized the main splash (not the HTC one) using aWizard. Worked like a charm. I also ran some extra itsme tools to read and write from rom in some locations I needed access to.
Everything was working great at that point. But the downgrade ROM didn't properly respond to some of the printed keys on the kjam keyboard, so I thought I should upgrade again. However, this time, I decided I want to keep my splash etc., so I tried to upgrade only my radio and OS rom, as backed up by aWizard previously from the original kjam ROM. I used aWizard to restore the selected areas of ROM, rather than the RUU tool.
I upgraded the radio ROM, didn't reboot the device to keep the radio and OS in sync, upgraded the OS ROM, just as that was happening, the phone received a phone call (or text message, do not know which), and hung. While the aWizard eventually completed the upgrade, the phone did not reboot or "un-hang" itself after aWizard displayed success (there was no error on the console window).
So I soft rebooted the phone. The splash screen came, but without a GSM version on it. I was like, "shoot!", something bad must have happened, lets just put the full kjam rom on this, and get it over with - never mind the custom splashes. So I went into bootloader and applied the kjam rom.
Now it displayed the GSM version as well on the splash screen, but again, it never left the splash screen. I was like, again, "shoot!", lets just go back to that old downgrade ROM with the funny keyboard, then we can figure this out again. So I went into the bootloader and applied the downgrade ROM.
Alas, the beer glass splash screen remained hung as well! And actually, since then, I've downloaded and installed ALL ROMs I've been able to find - ALL of them have hung.
My bootloader is still working fine and dandy...any idea why this might be happening? Was the problem in the phone call I received? In using aWizard without rebooting? In using aWizard at all? In trying to manually edit the machine ROM using itsme tools (mind you, those edits worked fine until I started updating the GSM/OS ROM)?
And oh, after hanging for a while on the splash screen, the phone screen starts flickering real bad (whilst still on the splash); in case that provides any help.

To clarify the bootloader situation a little more:
I've got FULL bootloader capability. I can mtty into it, I can write commands, I can install full new ROMs from the bootloader, etc. So this would seem to indicate my phone may not be a brick yet...its a brick that can display changeable wallpapers I even figured out how to draw progress bars and write text to the bootloader screen using MTTY commands. Fun, actually! Its a $700 etch-a-sketch pad

same probleme
Hi sir mimarsinan,
i have Qtek9100 with same probleme. Please give solutione for me to use phone again.
Thank you
Lionel
PS:
sorry for english

no good
Hi Lionel,
better not wait for him to reply to your request...
go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963 and see solution that worked for many
good luck

Can any of you facing same problem post the reason(s) you believe to be responsible for the situation?
I think that in my case (yes, it happened to me too) was the fact that i flashed only OS chunk ending up with IPL/SPL 1.xxx and OS 2.xxx and i didn't use any RUU; instead i used an itsme program (podcread.exe)
cheers

diamond bricked after flashing BELL UI beta 2

Hello everybody,
I tried to flash my phone with the Bell UI beta 2 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445372
That didn't work because I got the error message INVALID MODEL ID, then I made a little bit of research and found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425 it explains how to bypass the INVALID MODEL ID problem, so I reconfigured the ROM and flashed it. Everything seemed to work fine when I flashed it, then after flashing I tried to boot the phone but it's stuck at the "touch diamond" startup screen. I'm able to get into the bootloader and I've already tried to hardreset multiple times with no success. I've got a DIAM100 with SPL-1.40.Olinex.
Now is there anyway of fixing this? Or do I have to send it in?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Thanks!

not an expert on this, but just a couple things to note..
1) if you can enter bootloader, then you haven't bricked your device.. might want to change the post title..
2) have you tried flashing back to your stock ROM?

Is it really bricked ?
ok try that :
Start your phone and maintain Vol Down,
you should enter in bootloader mode, so just try to flash with another rom.

well any joy?

Since you can power on the device it is not really bricked I guess, cause last time I bricked mine, the power didn't even go on...
Guess you should just try another ROM

it's not as bad, as you think (hopefully):
-enter in bootloader mode (as suggested above)
-u'll see the colored screen with USB written on its lower side
- onnect it to your pc with USB cable
- start flashing a working rom in a normal way
it should work!

hey guys you are awesome! I didn't know that you can flash your device within the bootloader! I've now reflashed with a never bell version and it works great! Bell is really smooth TF3D could learn something from pointui ^^
Thanks alot!
Regards

I think we're done here!

I think I read somewhere (but have not tried), do a hard reset, and when the screen that says Tap to begin using your device pops up, start attempting to flash from there.
But they "should" flash from the bootloader screen.

I had exactly the same problem. Tried all the tricks to go back to the previous ROM. I also tried boog321's hard reset idea, but it just puts you back into the bootloader. HOWEVER, when I then went through the screen alignment process (just for fun), lo! it works!

The problem is that i can`t get inside windows anymore. It stays at the screen 3 seconds after power up. Is there a way to hardware reset?

Just flash a different rom dude!! probably a expired beta rom.

i have tried to falsh 4 differnt ROM`s. It makes 2% and says rom orrupter or something.

Tried installing via MicroSD card? I installed the same ROM a while back...

Hey. I just re-flashed right now after I installed an expired beta by mistake.
Start with the Hermes connected USB, showing the splash out of luck screen.
1. Hold both Power and the ok button on the left and then RESET with the stylus. It should go in tri-color mode
2. Flash a known good ROM
Good luck!

Bro just flash your ppc using other ROM (flash it in bootloader mode) when its in the hermes rom upgrade tap the (force using safe SSPL) it will do the trick.

I already said i did that.
After 1% it stopped and says : ERROR 270. UPDATE ERRROR: The image file is corrupted please check your update utility.
I have done this with 5 roms now.
Will try microsd install.

Hope you have Hard SPL, you need it for sd card flash...

I solved the problem with the bad ROM.
I downloaded an official rom from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
I has done a clean install.
But i still can§t install another rom, from the forum.
Will try again.

Are you sure you have HardSPL installed and CID unlocked your device?

Please help!!

i just loaded a new rom onto my diamond. after installation the phone turns on and displays touch diamond then sits there for about 20 seconds then reboots. its keeps doing it. what can i do?!! ive tried loading another rom but it seems to keep doing it.

When you put you phone into bootmode, does it still restart then?
And have you tried a hard-reset?

it did stay in boot mode, but once i loaded a new rom it did the same thing. i had to load a couple roms before it stuck and started working. thanks for your help.

Maybe this link will help to solve the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3433851&postcount=22

Option 2:
If the link above method doesn't work for you, then just simply but your device into bootloader and flash a stock ROM then go back to a cooked ROM and everything she be ok.
Go Here to Find Stock Roms It doesn't matter which one you chose as the goal here is to remove the bloated ROM which happens from too many flashes.

hi, i know this post is a little old but MY DIAMOND IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING!
i just started leaerning how to do all this, and the only HardSPL that worked on my phone was 1.24.
i updated to that spl, then i upgraded the radio but when i did the rom flashing event i am left with a messed up phone, resulting in only turning on and off, not getting past the touch diamond screen.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Guide to completely restore your messed up device
This little guide is made for newbies who are stuck after flashing images in a wrong way or flashing wrong things.
Note: This is only for GSM Touch Diamond!
This Guide does not include the MTTY Procedure!!
Q. What does this mean?
A. Well, if you are still facing some problems after following this guide, it's time to use MTTY.
Q. what is MTTY?
A. It's a flashing procedure before flashing a ROM, it actually formats your phone (you internal storage will not be lost) and then you are able to flash a ROM.
Q. When do I have to use MTTY?
A. You have to use it before every ROM flash. Before you proceed with step 14, you must read this! It's the only step you need to do it, except for the latest cutsom ROM flash.
Perform a hard-reset (Hold Center button + reset)
Go into bootloader mode by holding volume down and pressing the red reset button
A red-green-blue-white screen will appear. In the white part of the screen, there should be the word 'Serial'
Connect your phone to the computer.
If the word 'Serial' changes into 'USB', you succesfully connected your phone
Go to this link and download 'Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip'
Extract it to an empty folder.
Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, make sure your phone is still connected
Follow the steps, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. it should go to black screen now.
SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode and verify the screen shows 1.40.OliNex.
note: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
Now you have re-flashed Hard-SPL, it's time to flash a stock ROM.
Make sure your phone is connected again
Download a stock rom (ie from here) and run the executable.
Follow the instructions, and be patient.
You're done now. You are now able to flash a custom ROM of your choice.
If you can't get your device to work, not my problem! If this didn't help your device is bricked. You'll have to return it to HTC.
And of course I am not responsible for any trouble you get with this guide.
Don't you understand some steps or do you still need help?
Try reading this. It is a great tutorial about flashing your device including the MTTY procedure.
If you still can't get a clue of it don't hestitate to PM me!
You can also add me to msn, see the msn icon to the right of my post.

when i tried to upgrade to 'Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip' the progress bar on my phone and the computer go up to 100% in less than 2seconds, then it says 'error [270]: update error
the image file is corrupted. please check your update utility'
And on my devices bootloader screen it says 'upgrade ROM code error please try again'

Are you using Vista? If so, try it on another computer
Another problem could be that the package is corrupted. Try downloading it again.

Apparently I have severly bricked my S620.

I was attempting to change to ookba's 3VO ROM but the operation failed and the ROM did not install. I did get the recovery instructions screen and followed them but the phone did not reset to the previous ROM (NRGZ28's EnergyROM 52409). The phone hangs on the Windows Mobile screen. I have done the following -
1) Followed ookba's recovery instructions and gotten the tri-band screen. However whenever I try to flash back to the T-Mobile ROM (any version) I get Error 260.
2) Followed stylez hard reset instructions and gotten the reset screen but the phone hangs on the Windows Mobile boot screen. A hard reset does not occur.
3) Followed NRGZ28's "In Case Things Go Wrong" instructions and gotten the tri-band screen, however when I try to flash the EnergyROM (or any other non T-Mobile ROM) I get corrupted image errors.
4) I have used jockeyw2001's bootloader but get Error 260
Also, the power button does not turn the phone off. I have to remove the battery to get it to shut down. I think I have tried all the recovery steps I know if. If anyone has a suggestion or solution I would be most appreciative. Thanks.

Maybe its safe to assume you have a hardware issue? Since the initial flash and following consecutive flashes failed, maybe its a bad USB cable? I would try reflashing the shipped T-Mobile ROM from a different PC altogether using a different USB cable. Since your phone gets to the Bootloader (multicolor) screen means it's not bricked. Try different PC and cable hardware...

Will do. I did try another hard reset and the boot screen has sat for over 20 minutes without getting past it.

Or try flashin stock ROM via SD

you must flash to official rom to make any progress at this point. at least thats what i had to do when my computer auto-restarted in the middle of one of my flashes.

Fixed, thanks for the help.

Muga, It's also happening to me. I had previous flashes with different roms Kavana's, rose, energy (6.1 release) and everything went well with no problems at all. But a few days ago, I tried to flash my excalibur with the latest release by NRGZ28 (energy rom 6.5) and what I think what happened was that I didn't run the unlock file aplications (since I didn't have to do it in the other flashes, because I already had unlock the phone with the first upgrade) that's the only explanation I can get. At the end, I came up with the frozen screen and I've tried the bootloader steps, original rom installation, hard reset with no succes at all. What I get is the same error you have.
