hi folks,
seems to be that i have a BIG problem...
my t-mobile diamond had some heavy connection problems the last days (apart from this battery sucking system that made me charge it twice a day), so i decided to install both a new radio rom and a new WM rom on it.
after all those attempts didnt work (yes, i've read the threads and yes, i've followed the instructions! ), i got the ****ING IDEA to follow the instruction shown on youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGibMZC7-g (see also forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062) for a CDMA diamond. don't ask why, i thought that i could own a cdma phone as all of the gsm software didn't work... :-//
during step no. 1 (unlocking - yes, i wanted to do the whole programm! :-/ ) my diamond switched off and ... is dead now! no chance to switch it on, no chance to get into bootloader, no chance to hardreset...
now my question to the pros: do i have ANY chance to reanimate my diamond? i would be grateful for any ideas!!! thanks in advance,
p.p.
have you tried vol down and soft reset simultaneously?

yes, didnt work...
Try a hard reset. If that doesnt work see if you can enter bootloader. Instructions can be found in a search.

thanks, but as i've already written, both doesn't work. my diamond is simply... DEAD! :-(
yep looks like it
anyone ANY idea to get my diamond back to life?
my frind i think you nead a new mb so you must go to htc service
It was quite common, when people were looking desperately for SU and were using CDMA soft.. Sorry to say this, but your diamond is a brick now, and only motherboard replacement will do. there are some hardcore people on this forum who are rescuing such phones, but I'm not sure if they are still operational. Search for JTAG on teh forum, or send it to the service. If it;s on guarantee, then you should be fine, as they shouldn't be able to determine what happened. Otherwise you can always zap the phone with a stunner, and presto, phone ready for guarantee.
your phone is dead bro, i will be willing to buy it from you, i need peices to fix mine, pm me if interested
hey dude, dont worry..u're like the umpteeth guy who did it..just refer to this forum forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-488687.html..haha
I have long time ago also installed a CMDA-ROM accidentally. When the flashing procces ended I just got only the slpash screen (black without Rom Version Information).
I thought my Diamond was bricked but i could not believe it . After i had performed a hardware reset several times i used mitty and i could flash a ROM.
Now i have mostly a ROM as backup on my storage-card this in case it will go wrong during flashing procces.
Hy, i found a guy who has a bricked hero ( stucked at bootloop ) he is seling it preaty cheap and i'm wondering if maybe it can be revived. He said that u push the power buton, it starts up stays like that for like 5 seconds, than it shuts down. he also said that the problem started when he tried to upgrade it from 1.6 to 2.1 and also he mentioned that the phone was rooted before, but now wont enter in cyanogen ( havent got the time yet to read what cyanogen is).
here is a youtube video ( not his phone ) but where the phone is stuck, u can look at the second 26, there his phone reboots. what u say? can it be somehow revived? what do u sugest me? curently i own a diamond and i would love and android phone. cheers

I don't think that's bricked mate. A bricked Hero, typically, won't turn on at all.
Can he enter Fastboot?
I think it's Home+Back+Power...
as i said i dont have the phone but i could buy it for about 140euros if i have any chance to revive it. cheers

he is seling it especialy becouse he does not have the time to get it to service or read some forums on the internet... the idea is, can it be fixed? should i buy it or not ?

The chances are, it can be fixed.
Story seems a bit strange to me
But yeah sounds like it can be fixed.
Offer 100 for it. Say you might be able to fix it and you are taking on all the risk!
This happened to me too. But it isn't bricked, at least it wasn't for me. I don't know if it's rooted, but mine was. I took out the sdcard, booted in to recovery (the one where you flash new ROM's, dunno if it's the right name). And then I wiped, and installed a new ROM.
Hope this helps
hy, thx for information, can u be a little mor specific? if somehow it aint rooted is it anyproblems entering into recovery mode? this hapend to you also while upgrading from 1:6 to 2:1 ? sry for mistypes, posted from diamond cheers

There is no 1.6 or 2.1 on Hero.
Also, Cynaogen mod hasn't been released for Hero but for the G1.
I would make sure that you are getting what you're paying for. Buy it off ebay and make him write that he'll accept returns.
If you see the network operator logo or the HTC logo, I reckon it's not bricked. Bricked usually equals nothing, or just an error triangle or something like that (even the error triangle may indicate hope).
I reckon it may be worth a shot (can't see any youtube link to see for myself).
Back+Power is to enter fastboot FWIW. Maybe you could ask him to plug it in and see if the charging LED comes on??? That sometimes indicates it's still working.
I'll vote 'boot-loop', which isn't critical. Should be fixable by goldcard and RUU downgrade, then installation of custom ROM.

there is one leaked 2.1 rom, from which several 2.1 roms have been built. all can be found here and on modaco's. also there is one 1.6 rom, which hasn't been updated since 30. october 2009.

The owner of the phone presumably said that he "can't get into Cyanogen anymore". I think he meant Cyanogen's recovery image v1.4, which preceded Amon's
One should try loading a fresh recovery image - running the "Fastboot" part of the code at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
If the recovery image is corrupted, there could be issues of "access-denied" running certain "fastboot" commands, depending on method of past rooting. Even with a Goldcard. I was there.
hello... why i cant access internal sd card after flash?
it says "no sd card inserted" when i want open "my files"
You flashed with your SD in?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA App
With rom did you flash?
Sent from my GT-I8150
Go to recovery (Vol UP + Power + Home) then wipe data and cache or do factory reset
After that flash it again
sorry all for quiet a few days...
i flash with no sd card insert...
flash with cowthgun slim shady...
after a few days keep try n error now my sgw cant turn on...
even when i put charger oso nothing out on screen...
that's sound like a hard-like a **** brick man..
Maybe it caused by sd swap(vold.stab) thing that apply on that rom..and then u flashed with no extrnal-sd inside..that causes havoc.!
If u want unbrick DIY style..google this;usb jig
If u don't want get ur hands dirty,service centre..
Gud luck..

after nothing happen n i really tense with it,i off my fon...
BANGGGG,my sgw cant turn ON already... until today...
its because of whatar actually?
im just use 2 weeks... i suspect its because overheat cause at the cover area camera its like got a buble there... or its because software problem? cause i wanna claim a warranty by SME... but need to wait until next (now close 1 week for Chinese New Year).
am i possible to claim warranty if its caused by software?
thats the point.. if they can detect its my problem,is there any warranty?
but im strongly trust that my fon is overheat cause got a bubble at camera area near to micro-usb port...
P/s : back to b4,im use a thether to connect to internet while im doing my rooting,flashing...

If it would have been the software of Samsung(stock rom), which would have caused the overheat, you would have been on the safe side.
But because you were using a custom ROM, which even provides overclocking, which most probably caused the overheating and bubble, you actually don't have any warranty left. You can just try to send your phone to Samsung and if you are lucky they won't find out you were flashing custom ROMs and they might replace it.
BTW: A Topic with the name "Plshelp" is not very useful. If everybody would do that, this forum would be a mess. So next time think about a topic which expresses the problem. If you could change the name of your topic it would be good.
good luck

hey guys!
I have a gio that today i decided to root it and change rom after, but after i rooted ( i think it went well ) i installed Rom Manager from market, as i've done on my htc click. then i flashed from Rom Manager the CWM , but i think i clicked on wrong phone. i turned off gio, and now it just dont start, isn't detected by my computer. i've already tried volume down + home + turn on, home + turn on and so far nothing happend.
can someone please help me please?
Try to use Download Mode, i think by pressing Power+Home+volume down or up keys together. If so then use Odin to flash custom or Original rom and one more thing :::Never ever use Rom Manager for installing Roms,,Never:::
You're bricked....

Sorry man, your gio is BRICKED! same thing happened to me in january but got it back from repairs. Just say you dropped it or something and it wont turn on, they will repair it. Change mainboard and it will be fixed.
That's sad.. there should be alternate way. As when we install wrong drivers in PC motherboard did not bricked so mobile motherboards should behave the same,But they are not. Well bro its gonna cost you about half of mobile price with no warranty. Just best wishes for you.

ty anyways guys
i just dont understand why mobile mobos got bricked by wrong installation, Service center probably gonna flash its Bios if Motherboard has, otherwise they replace the motherboard,, it will cost you bro. Rooting voids your warrenty

(translation:Chinese people are trying to improve themselves！)
i've delivered it in samsung center here and they said its covered by warranty!
will take 10 days to fix it, and problably it will be free, but lets wait
anyway, rom manager should have an confirmation message before flashing CWM!
I help myself with downloading stock clean stock ROM, cause I can't backup this.
mobile was ready today!
didn't had to pay, they changed some parts, installed a new version 2.3.6, and working great!

They can't find anything if its bricked.
If they ask something just say you but power off and it wont start anymore.
Sorry my english.

nope because the system drivers are corrupt so it needs to be reset by unbricking the device

Firstly download the unbrick tool I have sent you through the link then switch off your phone and make sure cable is unplugged then hold the volume up button on your phone and then plug in the USB cable to the computer and phone then on your computer and open device manager and make sure under ports it says Qualcomm 9 and then extract the unbrick tool then run mam as admin then click start

This has a collection of unbrick tools and versions of OOS.
This contains detailed instructions also.
Hope you solve your problem.
If not and you still have warranty for the display (OnePlus gives atleast 3 months warranty on replacement), take the phone to the Service Center. In fact, if you have warranty, that should be the first option.
Thanks for the response.
But I don't think my device is bricked, cause the phone is on working mode, but it's just that whenever I lock my phone.. It does not gets unlock on the first attempt. I need to press the unlock/power button end number of times & the phone still don't responds. It gets crashed and the System UI error occurs & asks for force stop & the phone is lagging a lot. I can't even use it properly.
I would still recommend doing it
