Screen vibration after flasshing the rom

Hi everyone.
I have a big issue with my phone. I decided to upgrade the rom by an official one (french HTC rom). I use the unsigned hard SPL and flash it. Since that, my screen is vibrating. I don't know what is the probleme (maybe the phone was too hot during flash and something burn inside ?).
I tried a hard reset => nothing best.
I'm a little big afraid :-( Anyone got an idea ?
Thanks a lot.

I think this is normal my Diamond vibrate on every Startup and when I inital an Call.

No actually it's not the phone's vibration. It's the image on the screen witch is "flashing" and vibrating.
After a sleeping time, the vibrations are less visible.

If the image on the screen becomes "fuzzy" (like TV interference), it almost sounds like faulty screen some people were experiencing. I doubt it have to do something with your flashing, just happened coincidentially at same time.

Hi, i did have the same problem using TLR (cant remember what version).
What i did was to flash it again with another ROM (bElite v0.54) and my picture was fine after that

Ive got that problem when I flash ANY rom with HARD-SPL running so what I do is flash back to a stock version of spl (1.37) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39
So in this order......
1 - Flash HARD SPL
2 - Flash rom
3 - Flash Stock SPL
Problem solved

Try what ratcom said. If it still flashes with standard ROM, I would advise you to make everything original again (ie original ROM & SPL) then send back to HTC for repair.

Hi. After my issue, I decided to downgrade the phone and, when I put the official SPL, it was working. 5 minutes later, I read ratcom's post that confirm the problem and the solution. So, this morning, after charging the battery, I used unsigned SSPL, put the HTC rom, get one more time the sreen issue, and reflash the SPL by an original one just like ratcom said. And ... it's working. No more sreen vibration ! And a new and nice HTC rom !
So, thanks for your help !

Splashscreen update went wrong!!!

Hi everyone!
Using tools found in Buzzdev's site, I tried to change the splashscreen on my Uni, but something failed. I tried it 3-4 times with correct images (480x640 bitmap 24bit converted in rsb) but after telling me that the update is made, it makes a soft reset and the image that appears is completely messed up!
Also, before making this thing, it remained in the blank initial screen for 1-2 seconds, now it stays there for 15 seconds!!! Everytime I make a SR I fear that it's bricked!!!
Any help is very appreciated...

have you voted?
Good luck,

Take a look over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399403&highlight=bootscreen

I read everything in those 3ds but nothing helped me.
I tried 2 more times to change the splashscreen and I obtained another messed up image, but now the blank screen has a normal behavior: it appears for 2 seconds.
Even if I haven't received error messages I tried to install rapi.cab and SdkCerts.cab, but nothing changed. Trying to install htc_certs it says that it has to unistall the previous customization tools. Have I to continue uninstalling?
Another question: I didn't entered in bootloader mode, was I supposed to?
In edit:
@orb3000: oh yeah, I voted long time ago for our great Uni!
I add another thing: when Uni boots the image is totally messed up, but when I try to flash another image the backup is correct!
I tried to install htc_certs, but nothing changed, except that now it takes more time to boot...

Ok, here are the news:
I found this post that took me to this one.
According to Tomal's instructions, I tried to remove the first 28 byte from the .rsb header, but no program could open it, due to missing header.
I tried to change the initial offset from the batch file (without editing the .rsb file) but nothing changed, same messed up image on boot.
So question is: what am I supposed to do now? Install a rom with a different splashscreen, edit qhat I want and then revert to Tomal's rom? Seems too long to do!

As far as I know you don´t have to reflash a ROM to have a new splash screen.
When I change mine just made a hard reset and voila! my new splash was there with the same ROM I was using
Good luck,

Nope.
That didn't work for me...
Any other idea?

Ok, half fixed everything.
I tried to flash my Uni with a Rom without flash disk and with a new splash screen. I used this one.
Obviously, flashing went wrong and my uni was stuck in the boot screen with a brand new splash screen! Now, I got a new splash screen with a bricked Uni...
Uff...
So I tried to enter boot loader. It did. Tried to install Tomal's 8.5, but again I obtained a bricked Uni.
I used mtty to format DOC and everything worked.
Then I installed again Tomal's 8.2 and my Uni is now working again.
But formatting DOC erased also splash screen!
So I don't have a splash screen at all.
Now, looking back I suppose that next time my ego will try to tell me that a wonderful brand new splash screen would bring my Uni to another level of power, I'll take one finger of mine and close it in the first door I find... That would solve everything.

Tomal, you're great!
My idea was to use the splashscreen attached, but I was also wondering what is necessary to do for install it into a nk.nbf file.
You said that the header (the first 28 byte) has to be removed, then the .rsb file has to be inserted on the address 0x3f00000, but this is the (absolute?) address on the Uni memory, I don't know how it is managed on the .nbf file...
So, if I convert to .bin (or something like it) the .nbf file and with an hex editor I insert on the correct address the image everything should be fine?
My next question is: how the upgrade utility decides to update or not the splashscreen? Seems that something other has to be changed...

That's one of my screens, it's ready for flashing as you can see here:

Infact I took it from yours!
But, as specified in the other posts, with Tomal's rom seems impossible to use the standard procedure...
Perhaps the only way is to insert the splash screen directly in the rom and flash everything at once.

Nope, doesn't work. I have the same wonderful fully black splash screen...

And thank you again for your great support!

Nope, don't be upset. I have another way. But you need to consider a HR, so do a backup before start.
Attached you'll find the splash and flashing tools. nk.nbf only contains the splash so your rom will be untouched.
Burn the splash in the regular way...

Once again, nothing good...
I used your last method, flashed the splashscreen, only soft-reset the device, the splashscreen appeared correctly, but it didn't boot.
So, I flashed your 8.5 standard (the special one has rltoday, but I don't like it so much...) and correctly finished the procedure. Once again, device didn't boot.
Used mty, format DOC, flashed again and now it works... Without splashscreen!
So, according to me the only way to restore a splashscreen on my device is to flash another rom which doesn't use flashdisk, change bootscreen and flash back to yours (for me is the best).
Too hard for me: flashing device contains a little danger every time you do it. It's time to leave my Uni with a rom for more than 3 days!!!
Tomal, once again, thank you for your support!!!!!!

Problem restoring original SPL

Hi,
I bought a diamond a few days ago, and the touch screen recently stopped working. Before it's death, I flashed it with HardSPL 1.40 Olinex, but kept the rom and the radio stock. The problem now is that I would like to send it in for warranty to repair the screen, and I can't revert it back to the original SPL. I've read several threads about how to change it back to OEM specs, but all of them have resulted in the bootloader still displaying HardSPL 1.40Olinex.
Since my touch screen is broken and I recently performed a hard reset to try to fix the screen, I can't get past the align screen, so i've attempted all my upgrades from the bootloader screen(the screen with 4 colors is bootloader screen i think?). I've tried several SPL's from a thread which i beleive where 1.24 original, 1.37 original, 1.93Olinex, all of them still resulting in 1.40Olinex displaying on the bootloader. I also tried installing an official ROM, but that did nothing. I'm desperate for any help or advice so I can get this phone fixed and start enjoying it.
Thank you

Try make connection via AS ( not bootloader ) and shipped rom with not patched custom_ruu

I'll try that. I think i've tried it before, where I could make a connection but was not able to update due to me being stuck on the align screen? I'll give it another go.

Yes I have thanks. That was where I tried using the RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip along with the 1.37 from the first attachment, which still ended up as 1.40OliNex. I'll give it another go from the active sync rather than bootloader.
Thanks guys

Ok so I tried from AS, here's what i got:
Using CMONEX's post, with all the roms and the custom ruu I was able to detect the phone version and press update, but before it starts updating it gets an error [202], connection.
Using a shipped ruu with the 1.37 from CMONEX's post as well as the shipped nbh, the device loaded into bootloader and updated, but still displayed 1.40OliNex. It was able to install from AS though.
I really have no clue what's going on. Any suggestions?
EDIT:
I was able to magically get the touch screen to work to get past the align screen after updating to a different rom, and I was able to update it normally following CMONEX's post.
Thanks for your help guys.

HTC Diamond bricked?

i have flashed my diamond with the official htc rom
im on 1.40 olinex, now i can only access boot mode.
sometimes if i leave the phone without a battery for like 2 hours, when i turn it on i see the "touch diamond" logo, if i leave the battery for a whole day i see the windows mobile loading screen, but then suddenly the phone turns off
plz if you have any idea about this problem help me

If you can acces bootloader, then your diamond isn't bricked.
Try the unsigned version of olinex' hard-SPL and flash the ROM again.
Good luck!

hey ElCondor, im on 1.40 olinex, i cant flash it because it is protected
how can i flash the unsigned 1.40 olinex one?

Here is a link to the unsigned hard-spl.
Make sure you download "Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip".
Follow the instructions:
1) Download, extract to an empty folder.
2) Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, Have Phone Synced with PC (go into bootloader, connect your cable, then the word "serial" in bootloader will change into "USB".
3) follow steps, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. it should go to black screen now.
4) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
5) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset, i.e. press volume down button and reset then keep holding the volume down key until you see tricolour screen) 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!
Installing this will hard-reset your device.
Best Regards,
ElCondor

when i flashed the unsigned 1.40 olinex, the device rebooted
windows mobile is preparing your phone for first use
htc logo
phone went off :S
will try flashing rom again

flashed ROM again, now it wont boot up no htc diamond logo no nothing
i can access boot mode (1.40 olinex unsigned now i guess)
is there no way i can boot the rom? what seems to be my problem?

Hi
If you can access the bootloader then your device is not bricked. Therefore download a rom of your choice then connect to the usb when on the bootloader then use a Diamond custom RUU (normally come with the rom) follow the steps. After rom updated make a hard reset. I hope it will run ok.
Looks your symtons are showing like your rom corrupted.
Good luck

i am flashing this ROM
RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
the newest one i downloaded from htc. com is giving me rom update error
would you recommend a good rom for my phone?

after flashing and reflashing and hard resetting with the ROM showed above
still cant boot in ROM mode, only in boot mode
el condor sabes, anything ???
should i flash with a new rom, and if yes with which?
(diam100 olinex 1.40 unsigned)

Perhaps try a custom rom?
I found when flashing to an official rom from a different provider (my phones telstra and was flashing 3) I had issues with the rom booting and had to follow a post on here somewhere to get it working, however When I had this problem I could still flash any custom rom with no issues.
Unless its for warrenty purposes then its probably not worth flashing the "original" perhaps flash A.Z.T.O.R. = Alpha Zero Tweaked Official Roms which are close to the original but with benifits of being modded for faster speed etc.
Anyways Im no pro but I know what you are going through and I am trying to find the link to the fix to your problem as I also had the problem. But recommend trying a custom rom to confirm the problem is the same as mine.
For the record now I do not use official roms anymore, with WM6.5 running well for the most part on the diamond its a great step backwards when you revisited 6.1

flashed to SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v7.5-Full-16MbPP
still same problem can only go to boot mode
i am feeling there is no solution to my problem ?
is the phone bricked? :S

If you haven't done yet, flash the hard-spl I posted. Just do it, re-instal the hard-spl! Then, flash another ROM, maybe (as said before) your rom is corrupted.
The problem here is, that you first installed the unsigned hard-spl, and then flashed a corrupt rom. In that way, the hard-spl can be damaged too, so flash the hard-spl again and flash another rom should work.
Good luck!

I did :S but to no avail, I will do it again fingers crossed :S !
update: weird, everytime after i flash the hardspl unsigned, it boots up, i can see the "touch diamond" logo
windows mobile booted.. preparing your device..
update 2: windows mobile booted, installing everything
omgomg it looks it might work this time, fingers still crossed !!
el condor !! haha fingers crossed
update 3 :S : windows mobile installed properly, phone rebooted, went again and opened it, then i heard a sound from the speaker and the phone turned off :S
it must work what could the problem be now? last step !

Okay try a hard-reset, maybe that works.
If not, then flash hard-spl again, then hard-reset, then flash another ROM. Then hard reset. Then try again if it boots.
Is your battery enough charged? That could also be a reason.

did not work, wont even boot up
when i said if i leave battery out and such, I thought it might be hardware/heat related
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/2069847/HTC+Diamond+-+Severe+Crashing+Problem,+maybe+heat+related
could this be it? will i have to send my phone for repairs?
because maybe when WinMo was loaded, the phone started to heat up and it shut down
so basically my solution is not a software fix??

If none of the tips worked, and you have the same problems as described in the site you linked, then you probably have to send it back.
One thing you could do: Try if the other hard-spls (1.37 and 1.93 unsigned) are working for you.
I'm sorry for you, maybe someone more skilled than me (like cmonex or olipro) knows how to solve your problem.

it's alright :S i thank you for all the help you have offered !
( it is customizing right now) but i expect it to reboot anytime now

How to flash my HTC Touch pro 2 (sprint)

Hi everyone well I'm new to the flashing and dont want to jump any steps as this could possible brick my phone...
I've been having some problems with flashing as i cant find a step by step to flashing my HTC TP2. I've managed to do the RhodiumW Hard-SPL package but after trying to flash to some custom RUU's the installation seems to go fine its not until the phone first boots up, that's when the phone just hangs on the HTC splash screen
From there i cant do anything other then boot up to the tricolor bootloader screen and re-install the original 2.04.651.4 update!
can someone tell me what im missing to be able to flash my HTC correctly, or at least point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hey Tommy many thanks for the post. I just upgraded my phone and peeling through the information overload, however you direct link does not work for step 1. I want to make sure that I am running the correct piece of software that you recommending. Could you please list the title for that file?

Nevermind I was able to find it via a mirror site.
Back into lurker status for now
Thanks

alright so i was able to install they mightyrom on my phone that went well my phone didnt freeze and everything started the way it should have.
but does that mean i can now flash my phone to other for example "leo cell" or Bxsteez Rhodium" if not how do i get to that point cuz when ever i flas them to they just freese on the white splash screen with the HTC logo in green letters!!
Thanks!

If you have installed Hard SPL then use the sd card method.
1. Format the sd card FAT32 ( they come FAT default) and copy the rom's .nbh file onto it. Rename to Rhodimg.nbh .
2. Insert sd card back into powered off Rhodium. Go into bootloader by pushing down volume and power.
3. If you did it properly and Hard SPL is on your phone then it should say to press power to update os...
If you aren't sure if you have Hard SPL then go to bootloader without the sd card in there, it should say SPL - 0.85.Olinex if you have Hard SPL, anything else won't register the flash file.
Cheers...

OK I was able to update to Winmo 6.5 with no issues....but here is my questions with regards to the Rhodium_W Hard-SPL
I was attempting to run it and it never gets pass 0%...In reading the details of the install instructions it reads
"the device needs to be connected to Activesync or WMDC via USB cable. and it must not be in Flight/Airplane mode (i.e. the phone part should be on).
3) internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and for the license."

I think you should ask this in the hard spl thread in the cmda section...That is the place for those questions Assuming that you have a cdma phone because you did not mention it. Otherwise check the hard spl thread in the gsm section.

Heading that way thanks for the directions mate!

Alright so ive been able to flash my rom to my first custom rom by energy which i like very much, although still a noob, i want to flash it to a different rom

Did you try flashing the stock ROM? It's always a good idea to try that if you think there's no hope. It flashes everything.
Also, did you try task29?
