[Question] Tmobile diamond - Rom Updating issue - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

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

the 1.24
and this seems to work!

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???????????????????????????????

can't flash artemis, uspl not running correctly

hi there.
this is my first post, and unfortunately, it is asking for help..
i recently bought a artemis, and the last couple days i've been searching on roms, both cooking and flashing.
i've tested a couple roms, from vanilla to touch, b&b and others, every single one without a problem. for all of them i've user XP sp2 in a virtual machine (VMWare). everything went ok, cid unlocking and flashing the roms perfectly, and as i finally decided to cook my own rom, i started looking for generic roms from htc, to see what they looked like, so i could had a better understanding on how to cook a good rom to settle my needs.
unfortunately, i flashed a rom, don't now for sure wich, but it's from o2, and from that moment on, i could not flash anymore.
every time i try to run the uspl, i can't get the spl to 1.11.000. it stays on 3.07.000.
i've tried running several times in a row the uspl, then flashing, tried flashing a generic rom, hardspl, arte and uspl, tried running the .nbh from the sd with no success (although there seems to be a fix for that, will try that tomorrow), tried getting into boot and flashing.
but the funny thing is, in the uspl, when it is running, and reaches 70% it jumps to 100%.
and whenever i try to flash it, obviously, i get the error 270 update error.
so, after that, any ideas? the artemis is running smoothly, without a problem, although not with its original rom, and locked to a different provider (it's cid locked to vodafone portugal)
thanks in advance
edit: i've had the chance to test the sd flashind, again, with no result
no ideas anyone?
nevermind, managed to get over it.
used an upgrade from the htc in the language my pda is locked. solve it
I have the same problem. I am working with it !

[Q] Device hangs at random when witching on

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

[Solved]Strange problem!!!!!!!!

dear friends
I am facing a strange problem on my diamond.
After flashing any ROM (whichever it may be) the loading of cabs etc takes place successfully.
But, after few minutes/hours the contents of strat/program are gone. and no program functions. I have flashed re-flashed and reflashed. cannot get over this strange proble.
Can any body guide me what wrong is happening with my diamond???
PS: I have hard SPL 1.40 olinex on my device.
Problem Solved -->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3433851&postcount=22 (Thanks cmonex)
c_shekhar:
I have a similar problem. I have had no issues flashing in the past and am very familiar with the procedure. The other day however I noticed a problem where by some of my apps would "disappear".. odd. Also after some time my phone would hard reset instead of soft reset, at first I put this down the ROM as I have had this before with udk's ROMs (no disrespect intended!) and had tried his topaz ROM. It seems to have got to the point now that once a few hours have passed my phone will lock up and then when I reset, it just hangs at the "touch Diamond" screen and I have to hard reset.
I have tried reflashing Radio, Hard SPL, OS.. I have also tried installing my apps one by one and soft reseting after each install. just whenI think it is working it will freeze again.
I have tried flashing different HARD SPL's but it always completes but when I go into boot loader it still says OLINEX 1.40.
What was the last ROM you flashed before you started noticing the issue? The last two I tried where udk syrius topaz and DIB 1.33.
I wandered if it was something to do with the data on my internal storage???
Going to try a hard reset and format movinand next to see what that does.
P.S: yours was the last ROM I used for my Polaris, it was awesome!!
I tried uDK's topaz based latest ROM and after that it started givind problem.
many a times when I prick for soft reset it hard resets the device. I have hard resetted my device several times but it does not set the problem right.Huhhh
Thanks for liking my Polaris ROM..
any headway found by you pl share.....I had borrowed somebody's Diamond and it is F*##ed up.
Same problem here
I have the same problem.
Started with morna 1.8 and then vic 3.5 and then windows net 6.5.
Seems like it keeps doing it. I just flashed a complete standard stock rom from htc from my internal storage instead of via active sync which had radio os etc all included. i then did nand reformat and copied all my data back. its almost like it forgets the apps that was installed. I also tried redoing olipro 1.4. Its running now on the stock rom from this morning. I did reset about 15 times and its still "sticking". Ill update you guys to see if anything changes.
Very very odd.
I know its not rom related and not a flashing problem - unless i flashed the diamond too many times. Ive been flashing from the good old Imate days, Kaiser, Kaiser 2 etc. So Im NOT doing anything wrong...
I new I wouldn't be the only one!!
I have just hard reset and formatted movinand AND re-downloaded all my apps so for now nothing will be going back on my internal storage that was on before.
I'll post any updates.
I have the same problem with the Morna. Flashed, reflashed, soft & hard reset.. nothing solved. Every about 24hour the TF3D won't start, the SMS&Emails folders are empty, no contacts and on desktop an error on file BOOT.MSC (can't find associated program to open that)...
After 3 days, I have flashed the Touch with the TIR11 and no one problem. I don't know if the problem is of the rom or else...
Sounds like a virus...
never encounter this problem,but some of my friends does.neither do I know why
offtopic: Are you working on a Diamond rom? I really loved (in fact I'm still using it) your 1.60.21014bCS on my polaris... I think it will be permanent... Have you thinked of making a M2D rom for Diamond ?
I had this problem if i cooked a bloated rom on my Artemis, it was easly solved by flashing an untuched stock rom directly from the operator and then flashing a custom rom again and then no problems untill i next flashed a bloated rom, i think that if the rom is too big it fills the area designed for the rom the starts to overright the hpl/spl or radio then the phone starts to crash and loose programs.
so get your opperators rom, flash, flash stock SPL, then flash h/SPL to re-unlock so you can try another custom rom
don't forget to use the H/SPL custom ruu-flasher to flash stock spl or it won't flash (its overright protected)

Thanks for the info, i'll give that a go. Makes sense. Will have to wait till tomorrow so i'll have to put up with a crippled phone till then!!
I posted about this issue a couple of days ago,I had all the symptoms described.
After using the clear storage option on my diamond,clearing the phone and internal storage then flashing a new rom,the problem seems to be resolved.
I also experienced similar issues yesterday and for the first time ever, during the use of a udK rom.

Update : ITs 17 hours later and still going fine. So maybe the reflashing of the stock rom resolved it. I must say the stock rom i flashed is huge. its over 110Mb so maybe it cleaned out all the jazz. Or maybe when i reformatted the NAND it resolved the problem. I dont know. I also did a softreset about 50 times during the night removing the battery every now and then and its still ok. Ill Update again as soon as something Happens
same problem here...flashed tons of rom before...never had problems...upgraded from monrna 1.7.1 to 1.8 and the problems started..no programs...reset and install procedure restart...i've solved downgrading radio to 1.09.25.23 and flashing 2.03 original italian rom...but now i want to try to re-flash morna 1.8...i'm so curious...u know?!

Ill try another rom tonite probably morn 1.8 or wm 6.5 beta 3. and see what happens
i flashed to a HK 2.03 rom and try udk's again, so far so good, will report back any issue
I got exactly the same after the huge 6.5 beta
Clear storage was enough to get rid of it for me (no need for the internal format or the std ROM)
Thanks

Can you kindly write more details?
Is HK 2.03 stock ROM?
Which hardSPL did you have on your device before flashing the HK 2.03?
etc...
Stability Restored
Got mine stable again by following post #10.
Flashed stock 1.93 rom then flashed stock 1.93 spl.
Now back with oli 1.93 hspl and pda corners v3 rom.

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?

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...
