HELP!!!! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Guys, please help!
I just went to flash my ROM (have 1.40 olinew unsigned) and I got an error message and now when I try to start my phone it gets booting to the colured bars/olinex screen.
How do I get out of this and flash a ROM?

If a hard reset will not work, just plug in the USB cable while in the bootloader screen (tri-color screen). You should then see 'USB' at the bottom. Run the RUU on your PC and you should be able to flash from there.

Thanks for the reply,
Hard reset did not work, am trying to flash now. I'm crapping myself! I hope I have not bricked it...

If you get the bootloader screen, you most certainly have not bricked it.

Ok dude, all sorted now! Phew!
Thanks for the help,
S.

Then try your official rom. (I put the custom RRU with the striped one).
Should work. If you can get into bootloader tisnt a perma brick.
also see this thread here, looks like the guy solved a problem like yours

Try flashing with SD card! Read through wiki to figure out how to flash through SD card.
I have tried SD card method...
But it shows bootloader with IPL / SPL version and "Serial" at bottom...
It dose't load any thing...
I have tried installing ATT official rom also.. but it says use updeted utility to flash....
I am able to go to bootloader and get USB connection when connect to PC....
But I don't have Activesync installe on PC is it a problem??? and I can't install active sync because of some restriction....
How to come out of this?
Is there any way I can Hard reset phone? Without switch on it?
Please help ...M scared....

ok, can you get into boot loader, press ok on left, and power on on right, and stick your stylus at the bottom, all together. Plug USB to PC, with boot loader screen, download the ATT rom mentioned here, and start the process. You have to have activesync 4.5 and .net 2.0 on your PC to have this to work.
Also, you have been given a link above for the official ATT without Radio, and here is the exact instructions on how to flash via SD. what part of any of these do you not understand?
Why would you perform a hard reset right after asking about it and not even waiting for an answer? If you had any doubts you should have just waited. I don't know much about your problem but I would't be taking the chance of doing something I wasn't sure about thats for sure. I really hope you can get out of this mess.
what size micro sd have u got. if it is larger than 2 or its a sdhc than you will not be able to flash sd method.
download another recent rom or just reflash the same dvha rom and do it through active sync on pc.
Finally got it working...
After 3 hard reset now I am out of white screen and now its working.
After 3 days
1. on splash screen
2. on bootloader
3. on white screen
Thank you everyone who have replied and who have atleast viewed.
learning:
Activesync is must for flashin through PC

don't panic...your phone will be working sooner or later, if it was not a flshing that hanged it.

Try to do a hard reset?
Keep us posted as to what stage your at. Just a reminder if you haven't already. Internally Flashing Roms/Radios is the safest way to go.

Volume down + Soft reset will enter boot mode and flash it again via usb
Yeah there is a way to fix it, but you should read a few threads before flashing! I hate topics like "HEEEEEEELP ME PLEEEEASE MY PHONE IS BRICK"
any way: enter phone in bootloader mode and flash with RUU then
I guess you don't know about entering bootloader mode so: press volume down and reset simultaneously
Next time read the forum!
Edit: baadnewz was quicker
Don't worry either. The only time you bricked your device is when you cannot go into bootloader mode. If you can't see the tri-colour screen, then your device is "bricked". Even in this state you can unbrick via Jtag or send for service and hopefully get a replacement.
Sorry for the newbish title ... I justmoved from a vogue to this and panic set in quickly! i got it into boot mode then reflashed it. works fine now ...

Here's what you need to do:
Hold down the "Volume Down" button and press reset with the stylus. You will enter the Boot Loader. Now plug in your USB cable connecting it to you PC. On the bottom part of the screen (phone) you'll see USB. Now your PC recognizes the phone.
Start a ROM update through the RUU executable and flash your phone with a different ROM.

hard reset is somthing i dont want to do. Is there any other option?

I think not. Don't know if you have a lot of apps installed after flashing. What you could do is find a ROM that's UC2/sUC compliant. If you create a folder structure on your internal storage like this:
ROOT > Backup and Restore > CAB > CABi
Put all the cabs you want on your device in the CAB folder and all the cabs you want on internal storage in CABi folder. After flashin and initial customization you will find yourself in User Customization (UC). It will state that it found a CAB folder, choose to install. After this it will state that it found a CABi folder, install as well. This reduces the effort of installing all apps after a hard-reset. As for messages, contacts e.g. I suggest you use PPCPimBackup.
same problem, but when I launch the ruu all is ok, until it starts, it stay at 0%, then I get a message that there was a communication error

Try flashing through bootloader. Press reset with stylus while holding volume down. After you're in the bootloader plugin USB cable and start flashing.

tried and didnt work. made it worst in fact :S
startet update trough bootloader, started, updated to 13% and then I was told the update didnt work with my device (or something similar, in norwegian). tried an older update, same problem... :/
when I now boot the phone I'm directly in bootloader, and with the funny message
DIAM100 65M
SPL-2.03.0000
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
I might have my hand on a brick... but hope not...
edit:
ooh, news, suddenly its updating moore... after 5 tries it allways stopped at 13%, but now it up to 31% and going strong... will update..
edit2: going strong up to 33%....... wow... well its a start and Im going to try some more.
edit3; 7th time the charm it seems... 100% and all I had to do was sit REALLY still. and I actually downgraded from 2.03 to 1.93 or something... should note that on this point I have tried flashing it with the original 2.03 and 1.93 every other time...
edit4; aaaaand we're back at the TOUCH Diamond screen.
edit5; aaaand after a failed flash to wm 6.5 (stopped/didnt start at 0%)... the phone started... This MIGHT be a clue that I should NOT try to get wm6.5 to run... but that wont stop me
I dont know if anyone else will have the same problems, but atleast this was my way to the resolution

Before you try to flash anything other then a stock ROM, I suggest you take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
You need to have Hard-SPL flashed before flashing any custom ROM. My advice would be to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705
cool, will try that one. thnx

Did you hold the volume down button while pressing reset? After pressing reset you should keep holding the volume down button until the tri-color bootscreen appears.

N00b problem: white screen

Hey all, I just installed Oli SPL1.2 (should've taken ZakMcRofl) it worked everything was fine. Flashed WM6.1, no errors. Started it, saw the boot screen then just white screen and nothing else. Active sync cannot connect anymore to the phone.
I can get into bootloader usting Power + photo + reset but then the bloody thing does not recognize my usb.
Despite, I tried several times flashing another spl on it, even the original rom by htc nothing works. Keep getting the error 260.
(oh if in bootloader I pull out the usb cable there comes Serial on my screen)
Can someone plz help???
Flash a new HardSPL then OEM Rom using your SD Card. Then flashing Cooked Roms should be fine again.
Flash From SD
Hope this helps and works.

TP2 Flashed with wrong HSPL,what can i do :(

hello guys,
after a long research i landed to this forum at last.
today morning i had a client who wanted to have new rom on his tp2 with russian language. but unfortunatly i flashed the tp2 with a wrong flasher! first time hapening something like this... i was pretty sleepy that i didnt even recognised that it was the wrong one... and now the client wants his phone back but the phone dosnt even turn on and not going in the boot menu... only when i plug the usb cable to the pc with the tp2, the pc recognises that there is a usb connected.. but only this.. im really stuck in a bad situation i would be very appreciative if someone can help me with this out the client will come tomorrow again, i hope there is some options to get the tp2 back alive
Try to flash back with stock, but depending on what you've flashed, it might very well be bricked.
This is why you should always be careful as to pay attention to what you are flashing.
Did you apply the wrong hSPL, or the wrong ROM? Did you flash something meant for a CDMA device on a GSM device...? Please, explain exactly what you have done.
Firstly thank you very much for your answer. I apply the wrong hSPL. HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone i used, the hSPL from blackstone >.< ..my device is htc touch pro 2 Sprint . It much be CDMA but with Gsm radio as far i know. actually the progress didnt start.. there were not a loading bar and no boot mode on phone screen (green-blue-red). suddenly phone turned off and red service light turned on.now when i connect it to pc,i hear usb connected sound and the pc reads the phone as ''qualcomm cdma tecnologies msm'' and requests driver for it.
Does anyone have a clue if there is a solution or what i can do ? or even if there is no way to fix it, except with Jtag ? :S

You flashed a RHOD with hSPL for BLAC. That's pretty blatant mistake dude.
I'm not sure if there's a way back. Try flashing stock like I already suggested. Try relocking too, I don't know.
You might have to go into mtty, erase everything, flash the radio, then flash stock. Next time, be more careful.
I would flash it back to stock but the problem is that i need to get activesync with the phone.. my pc dosnt connect to the phone with activesync because i cant open the phone :S do you think with mtty it could work mate ? im gonna search for that now.. thanks

HardSpl doesn't show a progress bar when flashed. Can you manually put the phone in bootloader mode (Press volume down button and power it up)?
If you can get it into bootloader what does it show on the screen? You may be able to flash the shipped rom after you are in bootloader if when you connect to your PC it says USB toward the bottom of the bootloader screen and then click on the exe for the shipped rom on your PC. Or maybe try flashing the re-locker as suggested earlier to see if you can install the correct SPL.
i cant get bootloader mode(volum-,power up).im gonna try flash via sd if no succes then gonna try relocker ...i'll post result..

If you flashed the wrong HSPL then you have bricked the device. There is no recovery outside of a jtag box. I don't know of anyone who has made one of those fora Rhodium anyway. It sounds like you owe your client some money.
By the way, if you can't get into the bootloader, then you can't flash via SD.
