If someone could help me with the following:
I tried to flash dutty's new rom, which got me an error in the update utility (cant really reproduce it).
Then I got a rainbow screen, and I tried to flash a differt hard spl.
Now my Diamond hangs in the black "TOUCH diamond" screen, with some red text about R,G,D in the bottom.
Please help me, dunno what to do.
I have the same trouble.
Is there a way to boot the phone to the color screen so i can reflash an image ?
/Edit:
I found the answer on the forum

I had to hard reset my Diamond a few days ago.
Press and hold volume down and the action key,
press and hold for a few seconds soft reset button with the stylus (while still holding volume down and action),
release soft reset button but keep the others pressed until the message appears on the screen.
Once the message appears you either press volume up to hard reset and leave internal storage intact or volume down to hard reset and clear internal storage.
If you get the timing wrong the phone will just soft reset and you will need to try again. It took me about six goes to get it right.

know what you are doing!!
Brick Alert.
People before flashing, updating radio or doing something fancy, read the tutorials, follow them step by step, if any doubt arise do some research. If not ask someone on the community.
We are all getting tired of answering these kind of question because there are a lot of how-to's and tutorials. If you just go rush flashing your device you might brick it rendering your warranty void.
So dont risk your expensive device and do some research.
Best Regards and good luck.
By the way, your device is not dead, so dont worry.

I flashed Hard SPL 1.34 then upgraded the radio to 25.05 then put on Bepe's 0.95 ROM
It worked for a while, then started to crash and needed to press the reset button to boot it up.
Now it won't move from the Touch Diamond startup screen when I boot it up, then turns off. Can't hard reset, and can't enter bootloader.
Any ideas? I just suddenly did this, also, it doesn't have the original vendor ROM on it so if I send it back, what's the chances of them getting into it and then saying a big FO because I messed with it?

What happens when you try to enter bootloader mode? Have you tried removing the battery for a while?
bootloader is volume down and reset yes?

Yes, korrect
diddly squat, not even any ROM id's coming up on boot screen. I think it's bricked
Hard reset is volume down + enter (round key) and red reset button. Keep down the first two until you see the reset screen

Can you be a little more descriptive? What exactly happens? Does the phone reset at all?
Did you hold volume down for a few seconds? Just pressing it while you hit the reset button is not enough. You need to hold it down until the tri-color bootloader appears. That's usually around 5 seconds.
Edit:
Clarification: You press volume down and hold it. Then you shortly push down the reset button with the stylus, while still holding the volume down button. You can release the volume down button after the tri-color screen appears. (or after 10 seconds if it's really not coming up)
Should it come up, you can use the chance to flash another ROM. If that's giving you trouble, see the link in my signature.
Ok, here's what happens
If I press the power button, it vibrates, Touch Diamond comes up, no ROM info, stays for a few seconds, disappears, phone is then off again.
Holding volume down, pressing reset button, nothing happens, phone doesn't power on, volume down held for 10 seconds, nothing happens
Holding volume down and action button, then pressing reset button, again nothing happens at all.
I successfully hard resetted the phone with the official ROM, but since installing Bepe's 0.95 I hadn't attempted a hard reset, but I had rebooted the phone successfully before this problem occured
Okay, in the off state the reset button will not function.
What you could try is turning it on and immediately afterwards follow the bootloder-procedure.
Also I did a quick search. The following threads might or might not be related and help you (I didn't read them, too late for me tonight):

I realize they're for different phones, but that might not make such a big difference in this case...
also, can you confirm that you successfully flashed hard-spl before this? as in, you manually went to bootloader and saw that it had changed to hard spl?
Try this....
might seem stupid but your phone is also acting as it would with a 99% flat battery........phone just starts then dies.......
Stupid question......put it on charge for a couple hours...you never know....it might be the problem you have
Well I came to start it up this morning after leaving it on a shelf all night with distain and it booted up fine.
So I'm going to flash the official ROM, and other stuff back to factory and send it back. there's obviously something wrong with it somewhere.
Thanks for all the help guys, let's hope my next diamond is a bit more well behaved.

1. While the HTC Touch Pro 2 is off, press and hold Talk/Send, End and Power until you see a message on the screen about deleting all data.
2. Release the buttons after the message appears.
3. Press the Volume Up button.
soft reset your phone, then turn it off and try hard reseting again
Remove the battery first to power it off (if that wasn't clear), then replace the battery and hold in send/end while pressing the power button.
I recently tried to unlock my uncle's Diamond. I used Hard SPL1.4 from this site, and it finished that successfully. After restarting, I went through the whole screen calibration and so on, then I went to the kitchen to get some food. By the time I got back, the Diamond wouldn't start at all. I haven't tried a hard reset, but I don't think that would do me any good since the phone doesn't start up at all. Is there anything I can do? Or will I have to tell my uncle I ****ed his phone..
Just a quick detail, I did notice that after it started up again, the area next to the SIM card slot heated up quite a bit. I don't know if that's related, but I figured I'd tell you anyway.
The Hard SPL of choice is the 1.93. Any who, try and place the device into bootloader mode (tri-colour screen).
Hard Reset Your Device:
• Soft reset button and hold the vol. down + Circle button until u see the grey screen. REMEMBER THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING SAVED ON THIS ROM (i.e. contacts, calender, etc.)
Bootlaoder Mode:
• Soft reset and hold the volume down until u see the tri screen
Do you see the Hard spl 1.40? if yes, then just a hard reset and see what happens
IF none of the above worked, take out the BATTERY for a bit and try the above options all over again.
Hi, thought i would add to this thread.
Mine also did this, it worked fine for a week with Windows Revolution 6.5 rom then it randomly turned off and refuses to turn on.
Bootloader mode / hard / soft reset none work.
i have htc touch pro2. i run a wrong file(Rhodium_Radio_4.49.25.88) on my phone. my phone is cmda unlock phone. right now my phone is not working and the screen is black. but when i try to charge my my phone right beside speaker red light popup. so please help me. thanks
My best advice is to STEP AWAY FROM THE DEVICE.
Flashing the radio should not have caused your issue. You can try to flash a different radio but I don't think that is it.
Do a hard reset and see if that fixes it. Don't ask how to do a hard reset, search for the directions. They are freely available.

i try to hard reset but don't work. what is next step?
Here's a question: can you access your device's SPL? To do this, pull your battery out and put it back in (to ensure it's off), and press the Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously. It should present you with a screen that is red, green, blue, and white. If it doesn't, you probably bricked your device.
I have a Stock TILT 2 (TP 2) never flashed running basic programs Mobile Shell never had any issues with it, haven't installed new software in a few weeks , but I soft resetted it this morning and it keeps getting stuck in the boot screen. when first turned on it will run through boot screen then load screen for a millisecond then back to boot screen and never advances again , I've tried battery out sim card out Sd card out everything, even tried hard reset , but wont allow me to hard reset with front buttons and power, is there another way to hard reset , is it possible my phone just bricked for no reason ? thanks for any help ?
have you tried to do a hard reset via the pc? the original rom is on the htc website so you can try useing the exe file there. there is also an updated rom you can try to flash there. hope that helps
You might try sending it to the bootloader screen and reflashing. I don't know if it will work, but I thought it might be worth the effort.
I did notice that HTC removed the original shipped ROM for the Tilt2. I'm sure it is floating around here somewhere. If not, I have it and can send it to you when I get home.
Thanks I have original rom and just released wont work.
dod you see anythign on teh screen? if you do, then hard reset may fix it.
Power off your phone (or take teh battery out). Then press and hold teh call and hang up button while press teh power button. it will enter the hard reset mode. (remember hard reset will erase all the info on the phone and rever tot the stock setting).

wow, thank god i dl'd it when i dl'd the updated rom... and they still have the image of the old rom right beside it... lol
as for op, you can try to enter the bootloader with the following steps
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Hold the Volume Down button.
Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.
and try to flash from there
hope that helps again
