Sorry to open a new thread, but I want to ask is there any method to fix this problem apart from using Mitty?
I tried flashing LVSW 3-26 firmware using SPL 1.06 or the 1.1x, both gave me the end results of white screen.
I am newbie to Mitty and worry of bricking my device with Mitty.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to cast the white screen away?
Desperately in need of help.
Thanks
I see by the sorry for a new thread you have read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299644
I am with you. Right now I would go to a different version. The previous LSVW or another build. I am trying the mtty thing but I am running vista and cannot get NBHextract to work.
If you do not want to risk it maybe holding off a day and checking back for an update. These guys are fast. Also like I said go to a different version. I flashed the revious LSVW os only and it worked 3 times in a row perfect
When you say white screen what do you mean?? You get a white screen and the device doesnt boot?? or the device has a white today screen?
people
for black 1.3 i will release two versions
one with SPL and OS (with RUU 3.6)
and
one with only OS using standard RUU (assuming you already have HardSPL)
this will give u an option

The White Screen for me is i can see the HTC Flash screen, but the Windows Mobile screen becomes white without me even seeing it and the Today screen is also white also.
Also, i was wondering if using Hard-SPL might help?
Thanks
nope i am using hard spl and tried it still white screen
Me too....
I also got the white screen of death. lol.
i used the version that was posed on the main page. After the update and initial boot the white screen comes on.
I was able to bypass this after several resets. Then it will start the customisation process. After which it will restart and go to a white today screen with no icons. I do have the task bars at top and bottom but no dialer.
My fix. I went and dl RUU_HER_6.20.100.0_0.00.00.00_XDA_WWE_XBOW_Custom. I installed it and works like it did before.
I will wait till there is a fix for this...
BTW I have a cingular 8525
I WANT TO OFER YOU GUYS SOMTHING

After hours and sleepless night, and so many flashes i think the NAND in my dopod was hot enough to fry a breaky for me, i've come to the comclusion, i have 100%, no issue success with all ROMS, using 1.01MFG and MTTY flashing each part seperatly. Not one time has a white screen appeared, with ANY rom, and i've tested all the current WM6 roms.
I d/l'd and tried the latest LVSW rom (26/3) and have exactly the same issue when using the packaged RUU to install it. However, when i use MTTY, its perfect every time.
I would suggest the following steps
1. Load into the bootloader mode (HOLD POWER/OK buttons and press soft reset)
2. Flash SPL-1.01MFG onto your device (Read wiki info and file links here)
3. Once flashed, reboot and do step one again to get back into boot mode. You should now see your boot as 1.01MFG
4. Use NBHextract to extract 06_OS.nb file from RUU_signed.nbh file found in downloaded rom package.
5. Load up MTTY, follow steps in the wiki for the 1.01MFG on how to flash OS.nb (OS.nb is the 06_OS.nb file renamed to make it easier)
6. Once flash is complete, the latest rom is installed and you won't have a white screen
7. Now flash Hard SPL v4 onto your devic for safety reasons.
And this fix is EASY to do, 100% works every time.

It worked 100% for me first time.
Just for the record I used ROMbaker to get the 06_os.nb then just rename it to os.nb.
Also if you are not sure and feel nervous about bricking it, then just wait for a proper fix.
Finally I got the white screen a few times and everytime I flashed the previous LSVW os only the device worked perfect. From my reading Olipro may have found the problem haveing to do with bad blocks. Nothing major but I believe they are working on it currently.
If you follow these directions and install 1.01MFG, you can BRICK YOUR DEVICE with ANY mistake!
We're not talking about a brick that can be fixed either. You precious phone will become a paper-weight forever more! Really.
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE N00BS ON HERE SAY; FLASHING 1.01MFG IS **NOT** A RECOMMENDED WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! DO NOT INSTALL 1.01MFG UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH THE CHANCE THAT YOUR PHONE WILL BE BROKEN FOREVER!!

Just go back to a previous version of WM6.
It only takes several minutes to put back XDA- Live.

I tried going back to WM5 firmware.
Flashing the firmware is a success but I still got the white-screen-of-death.
Any other options?

SPL-1.35.Olipro will be released shortly; this should address the issue of the whitescreen error, all those having problems under 1.30 should no longer encounter it if they were able to flash fine with old SPL's

Question ?
Hi All,
Sorry N00b alert at this .. but very IT literate
Just a quick question off the cuff, what was the last(est) version (can you provide a link) that i can flash to now .. (not mucking around seperating stuff etc) that wont give me the white screen issue.
I am currently sitting on LSVW 25/3 1.38.10 radio and 1.13oli
Thanx test
Everything was fine, I was just browsing for wireless connections and then I've done a softreset and to my surprise it went into bootloader mode, and now whatever I do (softreset, remove battery, hard reset) it goes immediately in the bootloader mode and I can't boot windows.
I am running SPL 2.10 Olipro IPL 1.04.
Not sure if this is relevant at all, but I am running Schap's 4.31.
Any ideas?
Thanks
read the wiki
since youre hard spl you can flash the rom again. jsut run the ruu and select 2.10 and select hard spl, dont auto-detect,go through the steps and it will flash
Hmmm try reinstalling 4.31 or any other ROM again to see if it works!
Tried that already. I have tried the same ROM again (schaps 4.31), and tried the t mobile official ROM (WM6). they didn't change anything, it flashed the rom to the end and then after the reboot it goes back to the bootloader and can't get off it. I have tried the phone's original ROM which was WM5 but I couldn't do that (doesn't flash it, it says the phone is not available, maybe because it's in bootloader and it doesn't connect to activesync).
The strange thing is that overnight I left the phone off and this morning it did boot into windows (this was on the official t mobile WM6 rom) and went as far as running the custom network settings, but then after the restart it went back to bootloader and now it's back, can't get out of it.
Any ideas?
oooo
im having the very same prob
official wm6 from t-mob (UK) upgrade from WM5 that came with the hermes.
now i cnt get outta boot load.
check out my fight to bash the brick back in to its senses...

Run mtty and try to see if there is bad NAND blocks on the device, to do that run 'info 8' which will report if bad blocks exist. If they do (there should be 3 bad blocks on a normal device, ignore them) then run 'task 2a' which should sort out bad blocks, then flash a new ROM.
EDIT:: Always look at the Hermes Unbricking Thread aswell.
Ok, thanks mr vanx. I'll try that.
Here's a quick update: it would appear that after it is off for a while (about 30 mins, without the battery) it boots into windows, but then after any restart it goes back stuck in the bootloader. Does this mean anything to anybody?
Brilliant

Sweet stuff, glad that worked
set 14 0 i presume is a standard bad NAND command or something, thankfully in HardSPL olipro enabled checking and fixing of bad blocks.
Have fun with your Hermes again

stuck in HTC splash screen ..Help!
HI guys ,
I have been following the forum from a long time ..... so before i proceed .... i would like to acknowledge all the great work the guys r doin out here !!..
was working on a friends jasjam which had schaps 4.20 running ... due to some issuses ( screen going blank white )with schaps' ROM , was trying to flash K's 1.30b .... the flashing froze midway .... after that could only see the bootloader for a couple of days .... used the mtty method to recover ... but now i am stuck with the first splashscreen and it doesn't budge from there.....
Would really like some advice here guys
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
worked, 5 minutes into winmo it restarts

So take a look at your pm!
Hey people!
I think I have a little prob. I've been trying to put a new ROM on my diamond and so I have been reading all kinds of stuff before taking any action. I've done it before, but have seen that Win 7 x64 might give some probs and so I've done the mtty steps on showthread.php?t=540290
: FLASHING YOUR ROM FROM INTERNAL STORAGE AFTER MTTY
After doing those steps my diamond only shows the normal startup screen (black background with TOUCH DIAMOND) and doesn't boot on.
Now I have the feeling that I have a wrong version of SPL installed:
DIAM110 64M
SPL-2.03.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x032
If so is there anything I can do or did I just brick my diamond?...
Thanks for your advise in advance!
Greetings Aussie
you didnt brick your phone as long as it shows a boot screen and you have a hard spl installed and can get back to the bootloader you are fine
i cant help with much, im having my own problems xD
From the looks of it, you did not successfully install a HardSPL. Search the forum to find one and install it. I use Olinex myself.

To be able to install hardspl I would need to be able to boot in to WM wouldn't I? or is there a way around that?...
I've been reading alot of things on the forum, but can't aqtually find any way to flash the hardspl to my diamond seeing it dousn't boot thru to WM and if I boot to de spl screen it doesn't seem to pickup the hardspl update.
Maybe it's also because I'm running win 7 x64. Does anybody have any tips / ideas for me... I'm a little stuck at the moment..
Tnx

do you get 3 lines of numbers at the bottom right when you turn it on?
if so hold volume down and press reset,
you should get a 4 color bar screen with numbers if you have a hardspl installed
from there you can plug it into the pc and install a new hardspl or flash a new rom,
i hope this helps
if anyone can help with my problem look at my other post lol

I don't think you need to use MTTY to flash hard-spl only?
habriz: Try doing a hard reset and see if it still repeats.
Did you unlock your device before trying to flash hard-spl?

@ Joebi: he's saying that the unlock was successful! when he tryed to change for another rom, this stucks on the alignement screen, so i guess he has to format his phone with task 29, i was just trying to help him....
whatever, Habriz, when you're in bootloader mode (when the screen is in colorful stripes: red, green, blue, white) is it written somewhere: <<security unlocked>> and/or <<spl-1.93.olinex>> ? if it is, your phone is unlocked!
