[Help] White-Screen after 3-26 LVSW firmware flash

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
those of you who got white screen do you have language on boot?
i mean do you have diffrent language pack that need to be boot when you make hard reset?

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

Dude! this is a serious problem! Someone to get what it is?

Hey guys, I've updated to wm6 and sometimes after my p3300 started to either black out or get into a irresponsive mode where the screen is just lightly on. No buttons replies! Once its happens the only solution is to do a soft reset and then pass to phase 2, try to restart it. That bad boy gets stuck directly at the loading process and its maybe - with luck- that it will go through the os loading after 10 tries and soft resets. The phone can work then from five minutes to ten hours and will get stuck again. What is Happening???!!! Also I don't think its the battery cause it does the same thing even with full battery. Last detail, I just passed the warranty limit and its too late to send it back. What can I do??

Did you updated with the official Rom?
Try to flash it again.
Or just try it out a cooked WM6.1 ROM. I recomend Artemis touch Vanilla 4.02.
Cheers

You tried a hard-reset?

If he upgraded it, then he didn't need it or it was the original WM6 ROM.
The problem was after upgrade!
Flash it again or do a hard reset!
Cheers

Thanks for the help. Yeah I installed the touch Vanilla 4.02 cooked WM6.1 ROM. And I believe the uspl was in the file. As far as I remember I ran it but had no feedback whether it worked or no...
Would a hard reset get the bad boy back to wm5 or reboot with wm6.1?

I *should* reset/default to factory settings for whatever ROM was last successfully flashed to the device. You will lose any installed programs/data so so a PIM backup/ActiveSync before hand if required.

Returning to Stock SPL (With a twist)

Hi there,
I'd like to return my Diamond (O2 XDA Diamond) to stock SPL (1.37) since my touchscreen is out of order and I'd like to send it to O2.
I already flashed the stock ROM and now want to flash the stock SPL.
I was following several tutorials on how to do this, but had no luck.
The problem, I think, is that I need to confirm something on my device before flashing (SSPL gives a warning in my understanding), but I can't since I'm stuck on the "Tap on Screen to start Windows mobile device" (is in German for me, but the first screen after Hardreset).
Any Hints on passing that screen via Registry or flashing Stock SPL without any confirmation is highly appreciated.

You can do thAT, on this way
Plug the USB cable to connect your Diamond with PC, make sure ActiveSync connected.
Copy "SSPL-Manual.exe" to Internal Storage on your Diamond.
On your Diamond, execute "SSPL-Manual.exe" and confirm to trust the excutable. Your Diamond screen will turn "BLACK" and ActiveSync will disconnect. *This is normal behavior***
Execute the ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
Your Diamond will automatically restart when finished.
To make sure stock SPL has been flashed back, press and hold "Vol-" key and use stylus to press reset once. until you see the tricolor screen and if you can see version of spl which before you flashed, it's ok!

You are welcome, try this, i discover this combination of buttons
ENTER+VOL UP = ALIGN SCREEN
that means, with this combinations of buttons, you can directly enter ALIGN SCREEN options, and try to align screen , sometimes this helped me, cause my touch screen has same problem, it start to freeze randomly, i don't know why, sometimes in right, sometimes in left corner, up-down, randomly, i noticed that htc diamond when is exposed , when i'm out and it's sunny weather, it stop to responding on touch, one my friend specialist for mobiles, tell me, maybe this happen, cause bellow screen in some pda is some thin rubber, and from heat it start to expand, and that cause problems, maybe this situation is in htc diamond...
greetz and good luck

Hi
I have similar problem and I will tell you what I did to get back to Stock SPL.
1. Flash the BSBs latest ROM from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533 . Either by RUU or moving the diaming.nbh to the storage, this ROM does not require allignment or any other input.
2. Install My Mobiler from http://mymobiler.com in your computer, where you can see your mobile screen in your computer and operate using your mouse.
3. Then return to the stock SPL as given in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39.
4. Flash your ROM again from the HTC. This can be done once the system connects to the phone.
I am successful in doing the above.
Regards,
V.Balaji

HTC Diamond Won't Get Past Touch Diamond Screen! PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
My diamond was water damaged a while ago, I let it dry out for a couple of weeks and it did not work, I bought a new diamond and tried the battery in my old one and to my amazment it started up, well to the touch diamond screen anyway, it didn't display any red writing and the sreen stayed on but went black after that. I though the radio must have been gone so put it in the bootloader and tried to flash the same radio I had before 1.17, the white screen came up and all went fine but still the same problem!
I really need the data on my internal storage and so need to at least be able to read that. I don't care about it working forever thats why I bought another one as a doner!
Could someone please tell me what happened and how to fix it! Why does it not get past this?
Thanks.
Also I have hard reset it, reflashed the original ROM successfully, reflashed hardspl and reflashed the Stock SPL but it still does the same!
In case it helps the bootloader says:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Wrong Platform(v0x0)
What does that mean?

I guess the water just bricked your device,
you'd better throw it away i think
there's one posible solution, go to your phone's store and ask if they have some machine to acces the internal storage. (something like this has to be alive somewhere)
Goodluck
MK.

I don't think it's bricked because it goes into the bootloader just fine. However there is something wrong with the firmware. Bricked normaly means it doesn't turn on at all!
Please someone help, especially the last line on the bootloader sounds worrying!

I am also having this problem, but I have not had water damage. I ran outa main memory and it froze and now I am having this problem. Some one told me it maybe caused by a bloated rom? I donno what that means. Any help would be great!

try radio 1.13

Read Internal Storage from Bootloader

Hi,

SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Wrong Platform(v0x0)
Does anyone know how to, or if there is any way to read the internal storage from the bootloader? I know the phone can read it to flash a ROM from it so why not to get my files off? I can get it into the bootloader so does anyone know any software that can help me to read the files and get them off?
Thanks.

HardSPL HTC repair
Also I called HTC and they said they could try and repair it but I'm not sure about sending it to them as I do want my data but it has HardSPL installed although they did say due to it being water damaged it is an out of warrenty repair and would cost me. Does it matter then if HardSPL is installed as I'm paying for it? I didn't ask them as I wasn't sure. Is there any way to install the stock SPL from the bootloader? As I did try but it didn't seem to work! I am not willing to destroy it further as some people do as I need the data.

if you wahck it in the microwave and swap the stickers around (Serial one under the battery) you ca nclaim on warranty, and end up with 2 new Diamonds

pls, a rescue ? I have the same problem, my HTC worked perfectly, till i broke the display, I've fixed it, it worked, but after a day ot two,...it crashed. And I get the same message when I enter the bootloader.

Infinite restart / reboot loop
What a pity! Any progress in this topic?
I have also this same problem. My Diamond crashed a while ago. It happened suddenly after I activated the WiFi module during normal daily use. The unit restarted itself and stucked in an infinite restart loop since then. I reflashed everything possible with success (also stock ROM), radio ROM etc. No way - the unit is rebooting and rebooting in the very same restart loop.
So I can not access the internal storage and can not save my data. Though there are no pictures of my new-born son, but there are some important files and notes I would love to save, but how?
Is there any possibility to access the internal torage from the bootloader?
Is it maybe possible to open the unit - voiding the warranty - and resolder the internal flash storage on another diamond (a working one)?
I suppose there is some problem with the radio, which causes the reboot. The remaining parts are probably OK. Maybe there is some way to deactivate the radio (WiFi module) from the bootloader (MTTY tool)?
Any hints highly apprechiated!!
Thanks guys!

Hi,
Perhaps you could flash another rom to it. but remember you need to clear the ram with mtty before flashing the new rom. get the diamond unlock tool from olipro (its there in the stickies, i guess) and/or flash new radio series then install the new rom of your choice.
Have a shot, and tell us how it goes.
thanks.
