[Q] Device hangs at random when witching on - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi all,
My Diamond is acting weird lately; sometimes (so far it seems at random) when I turn on the device (from standby), the display is grey'ish / scrambled, and nothing works. I have to removed the battery to get it working again.
This happens with all ROMS found here (haven't tried stock rom yet).
Anyone know what this might cause?
I'm running dev. edition SPL from olinex...
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
/edit; Could this be SPL related?

Maybe perform the hardSPL again?
Reform the battery for a minute. After this hard reset your device a few times.
If this doens't fix the problem use your original ROM and send the device back for repair.
Would be my solution

I have the same problem. Diamond swiches to standby mode and does not resume or just the light switches on and the screen is blank. Sometimes, it even switches off while booting. All the time, I have to remove the battery. And after some "battery remove resets", the error seems to occur more and more often. It also suddenly looses the phone signal but immediately finds a new one ofter 1-2 seconds.
I think it is somehow related to the phone chip-whatever. Because when I turn the phone of it seems to run more stable. Errors are not gone but at least I can use it as a mp3 player then.
I tried lots of roms but none of them worked fine. I even restored the original spl to make sure it is not the spl. But error is still there... stronger than ever
I will send it back to htc. This thing is obviously broken. Its one of the typical qualcomm errors. These chips are... what do you say in english... moody? My old polaris had a similar error. the 3g part of the phone went away.

Hi mikkelnl... from what you described, it seems to be a typical problems with the SPL you are using. Depending on which SPL that the original ROM that came with your device, you can resolve by installing the respective 1.37 OliNex HardSPL Unsigned or the 1.93 OliNex HardSPL Unsigned by cmonex.
Try to get it from the same thread that you got the 1.40 OliNex HardSPL-Developers Edition. There is also some explanation on the problems that you are experiencing.
One more thing, Radio 1.00.25.08 also appears to have some detrimental effects on some devices after some usage. And it has a lingering effects too. Try use Radio 07 if you are in Europe or Radio 05 if you ar in Asia...
Having said all these, I must state that these are purely my observations and you really need to try it out for yourselves to know whether it works for you. I have given the same advice to about 5 users experiencing these problems and it had worked for them so far.

Hi Swiftblade!
Thanks for the reply. I've read about those newer SPL versions, but I didn't think it was the reason for my problems, since I have one of the first Diamonds (can't remember the spl version ). And; the thread mentions "fuzziness issues on some newer diamonds", my screen is not 'fuzzy', it simply is scrambled and the device completely hangs. So I didn't figure that would be the problem
Anyways; I am a bit reluctant to install a new SPL, never did that before...

Hi mikkelnl.. It's really worth a try. the description on the thread is of course vague. It is actually to deal with some discrepancy issues between SPL and the device's specification.
Doing a HardSPL will not affect your rom but it will hard reset it so you get a fresh clean rom. Do perform a backup before you do a HardSPL though. My best bet is 1.37 OliNex HardSPL Unsigned.. Cheerz
Edited: If this HardSPLs can't solve your problems then it might be a hardware issue that you are facing...

Well, I just installed 1.37 olinex, let's see if this helps
Thanks for the input Swiftblade! Now I'll just have to re-setup your 7.0 rom

Please help, NO WIFI ON UNIVERSAL :(

Worked ok last night, then it crashed (mad colours on screen), so I had to do a FULL restore of radio and rom (seemed to be stuck in bootloader).
So, reinstalled everything, all good, I just cannot get it to turn on WIFI. I go into comm manager, click on wifi, and it tries to turn it on, then comes back with a X next to the icon.
Also the front today screen plugin (the wifi/bluetooth one) doesnt say WIFI: off anymore. Just has Bluetooth:Off
Any ideas
THANKS!
Try to flash back the rom again..
By the way, what rom do u used?..
I only just flashed it again ..
I used the O2 rom 'Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162'
Can you recommend another ROM that might fix it?
Also, does reinstalling a ROM reinstall all the drivers? As I've noticed some things stay resident even after a flash; call timers for one..
thanks
while im waiting for replies, im going through roms
trying different AKU ones now from the ftp
could it be a radio issue?
My QTEQ 9000 are on the same situation, made some stripes on the screen and now can´t detect anything!!
The wifi apears I start it but can´t get any signals!!
Any help please?????
i upgraded radio to 1.14 and still same
Try these ROMs
You can find on the forum, Ivan's and Helmi's ROMs.
They are the latest AKU 3.2 and seems to work just fine as O2 ROMs are just AKU 2.X!
I think the problem lies deeper than a hard reset/rom as well, it must do after installing 3-4 roms, and a couple of radios.
Yes ive tried UNI_AKU3_5_WWE_IVAN_Test2 ROM as well.
Same.
Anyone else got any solutions as to what it might be?
installing the latest qtek rom off buzzdev now, includes full radio/rom/ext rom. if this doesnt work, then f**k it, ive spent enough hours on it, and i'll just get a new one on contract tomorrow.
thanks for the people that replied
what about the driver disk, isnt there a wifi thing on there
maybe im dreaming
Have a look in the network adapters list and see if the Tiacxwln card is listed, if not sounds like it is a hardware rather than a driver problem. It's not unheard of for computer hardware to fail for apparently no reason. This is likely if you have tried different ROMs and none of them work.
I´ve tried upgrade radio to 1.14 and I tried Ivan's and Helmi's ROMs.
and the problem persists!!!
Tiacxwln card is listed.
Strange situation because during one year worked very well and suddenly make some stripes on the screen and now don´t detect nothing!!
Maybe antenna problem??
Help us??
Is there a problem with o2 official rom?.. Heard few people also got a problem if flashing to o2 rom..
Nope, not working, tried qtek roms, a new orange rom, still wifi not coming on.
Yes the card does show in network cards.
Oh well
Any help Please???????????????????????????????

ROM becomes corrupted

Hi All,
I just bought a HTC 3600.
I have flashed it with the Hard SPL 1.20, Radio 1.50.08.11 and latest ROMS (Schap's 3.2,FInixNOver_3.1.1 etc..) .
The unit seems to work fine but after a while and I think this is random or when I use wifi the OS just crashes. When I reboot I am stuck in the boot up screen not matter what. I have reflashed with 5 different roms and the same result after a while the OS crashes.
I am currently downgrading the radio to 1.46.0 to see if that has any effect. I hope it isn't a hardware fault.
Any input would be helpful.
Try to downgrade to original WM5.

or try to use DES hspl...
never I had a problem whit it!
How old is your phone? Was it OK before the ROM updates?
Did you follow ALL the instructions e.g. typically performing a hard reset before update, not allowing vendor "customisations" to run at first start up, performing hard reset after update??
Get back to the original ROM to check it still works.
Good luck
Thanx for all the replies.
After a hardreset and loading DES SPL.
I have successfully ran ADW ROM 1.2 and radio 1.38 without any problems for the last 2 days. Hopefully it stays that way.
I wasn't aware you had to perform hard reset and then load up the hardSPL, ROM and radio. There was no mention of performing a hard reset in the trinityguides.info.
If this is the case then that was probably why the OS started to become corrupt after half an hour. I was probably loading up bad ROM images.
I will continue to monitor unit for the next couple of days.

Problem with the 1.93.xx release.

I have a imported DIA100 phone, and trying it on the T-mobile network here in the states. everything was fine up until today when i upgraded my phone to the 1.93 series, now it randomly shuts off, and it cannot connect to the T-mobile network, keeps saying (searching). I don't know what's going on, I reflashed the device and it still does the same thing, infact it might even be worse now. Restarting the phone doesn't work, as it keeps restarting from the boot. Anyone have any idea what to do? I'm going back to 1.35.

i too have many problems with 1.93.456.2 WWE baserom. somehow, it just doesn't seem so stable ... not sure if many others are feeling the same for 1.93 roms. i guess 1.37.456.2 ME WWE is still the most stable at the moment...
if only we can have a review on all official rom consolidated in one thread.
Sprite?
Did you use Sprite to backup your previous rom and store it in 1.93xxx?
This could be the cause.

Yes i had same problems. imo the 1.93 isnt a stable rom(yet) so im back with 1.37.456.2 this one is just perfect,very stable,less memory leakage.
Well, the problem is still on going. I can't flash my phone anymore for some reason, even though I've tried both, unsigned and signed Hard-SPL, which both of them flash fine. However, the phone gives me error [276] update error. So not sure what exactly is going on here.
Also, no, didn't sprite backup, phone's just being retarded, mobilecityonline will repair it, but it will take almost 4-6weeks, I cannot wait that long. What else should i try?
Okay, nope not fixed... Flashed it with 1.37, connected to the network for a few seconds, dialed somebody and no ring or anything, but when i called my phone i could hear my own voice. So I guess i have to send it in for repair. Damn.

Could you please detail? I've flashed 1.93.xxx just in the day it appeared on the site and after flashing, I've restored the backup made with Sprite Backup to preserve the settings and so on. I wasn't worried about the contacts/calendar since I have them in Outlook, but I didn't want to start all over with settings, install programs and so. I've made the restore in "upgrade mode", restoring also the databases. The result was that I got a verry strange TF3D, displaying "Home" between the operator name and date, and strange behaviour. I've seen also that the animations were taken out so I've flashed back 1.37.xxx.3. Could be any problems generated by the restore operation? Should I use a different restore type (eventually not selecting "restore databases")?
I have had no problem with the new 1.93xx rom.
Touch FLO 3d is quicker (probably because the animation is disabled)..
and the battery life is about 20% better
Radio ROM Anyone
Sounds like the Radio...
What version is everyone on? The 1.93 ROM updates the Radio, have you tried downgrading to 03?

I am on 05 and has no problem ( have been using it for a day now)
I don't know, but If i plug the diamond into my adapter, the network suddenly works and I can actually make calls and everything's fine and dandy, but just on the battery, I can't call anyone, and if I pull out the adapter when the phone gets a signal, the signal stays but again, can't call anyone because i can't hear anything.
It's an awkward problem. I'm not sure if it's my battery or something. So I'm getting another battery off ebay since they don't sell HTC Touch Diamonds in the U.S. yet.
I've been having random freezes with the 1.93.xxx
Anybody else experienced that?
A.

THe Problem you've encountered:
1. Random auto reboot
2. Random freeze
3. etc.
It's sounds familiar to me. Well it's maybe have to do with SPL just like the Kaisers do.Well, I said maybe... So, what we did to our Kaiser before is flashing the HardSPL which has the same version number as the ROM flashed. So, if you're using ROM 1.93 then the HardSPL should be flashed is Olinex HardSPL 1.93 or you can try one by one of the developed HardSPL existed in this forum. My saying is, go with HardSPL 1.93 and see what happen. If it's still no go then it must have to do with the ROM itself.
Just my 2cents.

[Question] Tmobile diamond - Rom Updating issue

Good day,
I have a little issue.
I flash a lot of phones with official and custom roms.
do this as a hobby and for my work.
It always go's they way it should, but now i am having a problem with one diamond.
Its a T-mobile version of the Diamond, and i just can't seem to get it to flash to a different rom.
the hard-spl seems to go well because in the bootloader i can see olinex.
But when i try to update a rom, it gets stuck at the percentage bar on 0%
nothing happens.
i have try'd a view different hard spl's and different roms without succes.
Does anybody have any clue what this could be?
i am running out of ideas
(i am having no problems with the t-mobile versions of the Touch Pro, and normal diamonds)
Thread can be closed..
For some reason i can never fix my issues accept after i made a post about it
I used yet again a different hard spl
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621
the 1.24
and this seems to work!
So thread can be closed

my diamond is out of control

hi,
i have been experiencing a problem with my diamond for the last couple of weeks. i lose the alignment on my screen and when i start moving the touch flu taps the icons are shaking and not moving as i want!
is it something related to ROM, SPL or radio?
i keep formating, changing cooked Roms, lastely i gone back to the offecial rom but the problem still comes. It is always the case that when the device starts after formating i have to keep alignming the screen up to 10 times or more!
can anyone help please?
join the club....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3892993
People all you tryings are ilusions, this kind of problem nothing can't resolve, with trying of software solutions, cause i tried everythings possible to resolve this problem!
I tried, all versions of SPL, signed-olinex, unisgned - olinex, stock SPL, this means all versions from 1.34 to 1.93, and again, and again same problem...
Phone works 3-4 hours ok, and again same... I think this problem occured when i installed IGO8 app for GPS, and start to use this app, i felt phone start to warm up, and often when i used IGO8, it was very hot, something like overheating of computer's component, MB, CPU, etc..
After 1 month, it started to not respoding touch screen, and i couldn't fast align screen!
Then i tried manny cooked roms, one of the best, Cloudy1.0, Shaks4.2, Duty, etc.. And nothing, i go back to 1.93 , 2.03 STOCK roms, and notging ...
And at the end, i tried with formating rom, with MTTY tool, it passed ok, but nothing, after formating , again, and again same...
I spoke with people from HTC support, but they couldn't tell me nothing new, what i didn't try!
This is i think more hardware problem, touch screen problem when phone start to warm up, touch screen has a problem, same is when i go out, and expose phone directly to the sunny, touch screen start to freeze!
And i decide to send phone in service for repairing, cause phone has 2 years warranty, i hope they will give me new one, like some people wrote here...
I hope they will not discover , that i used HSPL olinex, and my problem is i didn't remember what was stock rom on my phone, when is buyed, stock rom was 1.93, but SPL i forgot, today i added 1.37 STOCK SPL, and today i send my phone to service! And now i have to wait...
Greetings and good luck all you!
I'm sorry for my bad english, cause it's not my native language...
p.s.
You can try with MTTY tool, to resolve that problem ,before sending phone, you can find MTTY tool, in thread "strange problem" just write "strange problem" in search, and follow instructions from that thread, some people succeeded to resolve that problem, with that tool, then you can try... I had not lucky... Before trying that, go back to STOCK rom , and STOCK SPL 1.93...
