Tried to run a sim unlock on my diamond after a reboot it will not turn on. can anyone help?
You get into boatloader?
No, it is dead it just wont turn on. i know the battery if fully charge as i only got it today?
It's really not full charged from factory
Didn't you charge it full before you started flashing?
i meant to stay i had it full charge all day, before i tried. ive try hard resetting it soft reset, taking out the battery nothing seems to be working

what do you mean by sim unlocking ? tell us wich tools wich exe you run and why and when it resulted on a dead phone. a simunlock will not make your device turn off and unable to boot it again. where u got this file from ?????
please be more precize
Try to send it to RMA, warranty issue.
If you've got no warranty .... there might be soon a solution for jtagging / repairing it, but it will need good soldering experience and additional hardware.

P.S.: No matter what "unlock" he tried, new devices have improved security, so current hard spl or oemsbl hack might not work due to newer hardware or better protection
The one i use was a link from this forum, its call Diamond Unlock.

If you've flashed the CDMA unlocker and you've got a GSM device, say goodbye
Try RMA or wait for JTAG solution.

1) if you got the CDMA hardspl... I made that one, and I *EXPLICITLY* mention in my post there that it WILL brick a GSM diamond. I guess people just will never learn to read

2) that is nothing to do with SIM unlock either. if you need that, get it from http://diamond.htc-unlocks.com/
3) interesting note... apparently just running the CDMA SSPL will already brick GSM diamonds, because I saw another case, where it was confirmed the RUU didn't even get to flash, and we know of course that it cannot because of the different modelid. so, just by running that exe it kills the GSM diamonds, maybe I'll integrate some check in the hardspl program to check diamond model before loading SSPL. but until then, people had better read more carefully.
that's an expensive paperweight ^^
well it could be used for more than paperweight... if RMA is not an option, viperbjk needs a bricked diamond for JTAG experiments.
lol ^^
donations accepted... money or phones!
i'll send it back as Dead on arrival... down to the supplier to sort it out
lolll, this is funny no doubt! Maybe this needs to be a sticky! An example of searching, reading and comprehending fully before doing any type of hacking to your phone!
Any news?
Has a solution been found for idiots like me that have managed to brick there Diamond?
hello,
I'm also looking for a solution. i can't turn the phone on, i tried hard reset, or taking the battery off....nothing worked.
It's not your fault cmonex.. Indeed, he just didn't read.

I cannot get past the start up screen! I have the CDMA diamond used
HSPL057 and attempted to update to SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 (FULL) And now it will not go past the boot up screen!! What can I do?
you installed a GSM rom.
you need to do more reading.
1) Reading would have told you the differences between the devices and would have informed you you need hte correct one for your device.
2) you're not the only one who has done this if you do a search you will find how to recover from this issue.
3) i cant stress enough to read first do later. it helps you prevent situations like this.
Thanks for your help
The instructions said it was for SPRINT CDMA devices, that is what I have- I have searched all through out these posts and cannot find out how to recover from this. Can you please help if you know how?

(enter Bootloader by pushing the reset button while holding volume down key on the side)
Hope this helps ya out.
Try here for a CDMA ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430486

Fingers crossed yes...
Read all the posts from the CDMA ROM page to get feedback and questions answered etc, and do a little more research via the "Search this forums" button before posting a query.
I guess we all started as XDA newbie's, so don't worry.
Got to log off now todaytoo.
Best of luck, will catch up on forums tomorrow.

Just 2 questions I think this was a good example.
Where is the CDMA Rom page?
What ROM exactly did you install? (todaytoo)
ok...its not working
ok, im at the bootload screen...I can connect to active sync. I downloaded the CDMA ROM it came in .rar format I changed to it .exe at when i run the ROM it does not do anything....
ok, now its not connecting to activsync....
Is there a trick that im not doing?
renamed a .rar file to an .exe ...new to computing?
You need to unpack/extract the rar file, just like a zip file.
Use winrar, when extracted all the goodies will be revealed!
/Psudo
wow...dont know where my head was
ok, so i have extracted it correctly....my device will still not conntec to active sync...when i plug it in from the bootscreen it changes to USB but activesync cannot find the device....any suggestions

Is your diamond CDMA or GSM?
My guess is you flashed the CDMA SPL on a GSM diamond.
Say Amen.

My warranty is valid or not ?
Can HTC assistance suppose that I've installed HardSPL ? The Diamond doesn't power ON !
If you have to insert a sim card: it's GSM, if not: it's CMDA
To come back to your problem: if you can't boot into the bootloader: there is currently no way to restore.
You at least have to have a working bootloader to be able to restore the phone.
The only way restoring a non-booting device would be by using JTAG test points, which to my knowdge aren't released yet for the diamond.
Sorry for the bad news,

If the device doesn't boot into bootloader, it's not possible to read the SPL, so there is no way (apart from jtag) to determine that the device had HARD SPL.
To my knowledge, HTC's RMA III doesn't use JTAG at all (this is only done in the factory).
They replace mainboards when there s a corrupt bootloader (as in your case).
(if this falls under waranty I realy don't know, there are different reports sometimes they do it under waranty, sometimes they don't..)

JTAG is a complicated way of directly connecting the cpu of your device to a pc.
You can search the forum or HTC hermes or HTC universal JTAG to see how it's done.
However, it's difficult, dangerous etc..
You have to know your electronics!
You are better of if you'd send the device in for waranty.
Send it in for warranty, if it's repaired: GOOD if it's not: but at least u tried.
If u flashed anything not-official (official=downloadable from htc e-club) then your phone has voided warranty, but maybe they don't notice.

i red this link already my friend but im not sure that i really understand the procedure in upgrading thats why im asking for the help of anybody who knows universal because it also iunclude in the link the procedure in upgrading wizard its very confusing for me.
thanks to your reply!
I have to agree with Andrei here, the doc is not very enlightening,
from what I have read there are a few things missing.
For example I don't know if I have to "unlock" my phone. I bought it on ebay they said it was unlocked, the phone was not available in USA&Canada they imported it somehow from Europe (it's an MDA Pro). I beleive it is unlocked already but ...some users here say "completly unlock your phone" ...which means...there are some other partial "unlocks" ???
The Wiki procedure says you have to backup your files...It is har to beleive that there is no standard reliable software that can be included and mentioned in this procedure. This is an important step and if anything goes wrong you must be able to find your way back to at least what you had had before you did the upgrade.
As for "the search button" ...I have tried that and ...)) the same results tons of answers ...you need years to read and to process all that info.
Guys,
After Having Device only for few days to upgrade may not be advisable. Therefore I suggest you to take few days to get to know your device and read more info.
REgarding the "Locked Device" means you would only able to use the device with the SIM of the Orginal carrier. As you already using the device in other country and other service provider..I guess you device is UNLOCKED.
Anyhow I will try to short describe how to upgrade goes.
1) Make sure you get the orginal OS of your device first. anything goes wrong you can flash back to that OS.
2) make sure you backup your personal files from the device( files;PIM;etc.etc)
3) make sure you have bootloader higher then V1.0
4) make sure you have full charged Battery
5) Remember that in cooked WM6 the vidoe call doesnt function anymore!!!
6) Download a cooked ROM available here in the Universal forum. ( the New ROM of Tomal V8.5 is great one)
7) I.E Tomals ROM file has got everything you need to Flash your device
8) Anything else is clearly descriebed in the WIKI "READ IT carefully"
Good Luck.. dont blame if anything goes wrong

Aparently if your PDA is seen by UNI_ExitBootloader.exe that means the reboot command is executed then you should be OK. But....I tried that and I had to try it twice, the first time didn't work.
So...apparently I will have to try to bootloder upgrade and after that burn the new ROM.
I still need a way to save the old one.
BTW, in what circumstances can yu damage your phone up to the point where you can not reflash it or use it anymore ?
nad one more question, will the phone work (calling and receiving calls) if the software is gone ? I believe it will not but...what do I know ? )
I'm also not totally clear on the instruction. Though they seem to be complete the style their written in leaves some questions.
If I have a G4 then is the file "HTC_Uni_SIM_Unlock_v1.rar" at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Tools_and_Programs/ is what is needed to unlock CID/EROM locks in preparation for ROM flashing?
Or is SIM unlocking totally different from the unlocking were talking about?
Thank you vary much!

1)I have no Vista therefore I cnt give you much info and that but I have read alot of issues with it. Therefore I suggest you to read more on how to upgrade in Vista.
2) I personally dont use any Backup Software. I syc. My Device with my desktop and M$ Outlook. Any Info that I have with contacts,Appointments,Task even My Documents folder and files. Those will be available on my Desktop and after upgrade you can Sync. them to you Device with new ROM
3) If you have BL 1.0 which means you should have G3 device then I believe you can use the JASJAR_BL1.01_RUU_v1.2.exe ???I have an MDA Pro.
4) UPGRADE in XP....YOU NEED TO CHECK HOW IS IT IN VISTA
4.1) Download Tomals ROM which comes in package like:TML_v85_WM61_20764_ST.exe (that is the standard OS).
4.2) Put your device in boot loader mode with button Comb. >power B + Back light B + Push the reset B <with stylus until you see on the screen the Boot loader Screen. Connect Device to your Computer.
4.3) Start the TML_v85_WM61_20764_ST.exe with double click and the installation will start.
4.4) follow the screen instruction.
4.5) After completing the upgrade Disconnect the Device from the Computer.
4.6) Push button comb. >push left soft key B + push right soft B + Push with stylus the reset B< untill you see message on the screen ....Push "0 (nill)" to set device to factory setting or something..
Well then you should be fine and completed your upgrade. AGAIN CHECK THE UPGRADE WITH VISTA.. I have no experience with Vista.

Hi everyone, I was here last night and asked a stupid question.
Well I tried to flash the phone today, and when i was unlocking it. The Hard-SPL unlocker worked (at least i thought it did)
But when i waited for the phone to reboot, it wont pass the Boot screen. It just says Touch pro2
So, it wont start.... Did i brick it?
Oh, I can access the bootloader by the way. So if there is a way to save this phone, and possibly get to using a custom rom, i would really love to do so...

NO, you are fine. Does your bootloader show that you installed the HARD SPL? IF yes, just use the RUU_exe. file and download another rom.
Yes, it shows it is unlocked and running OliNex
I am sorry, i know how to mod other things, psp, xbox, wii, but this is a new thing for me. Thank you for letting me know i havent bricked my phone.
Is there a specific file this RUU_exe that you are talking about? or does that come with every rom?
