Flashing to wrong ROM

I'm seeing some very strange behaviour with my Diamond when I flash from the Internal Storage. It worked fine for quite a few flashes, but I tried to flash yesterday and despite copying the Diamimg.nbh file to the internal storage, reflashing went back to the ROM that was previously installed not the new one!
I can reflash from my PC successfully, but trying to do it from the internal storage doesn't work.
Has anyone had this problem before? Is there a fix?

Never had a problem flashing from Internal Method.
Are u sure u followed all the steps including a hard reset right the installation?
Internal Method Steps:
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
Try this again.........& let me know how it goes

Just realised that I've been being a little thick and pressing the vol down and 'select' button. I'm off to go and have a quiet word with myself!
Doh!
Thanks.

Can you flash Radio same as ROM

Meaning move the radio to internal storage and rename it to DIAMIMG.nbh?

Yes sir you can.
Also splash screens.

Great, thanks.

Yes and it's the best method....
Here are the steps from suiller:
COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
Skip step 8 for Radios

I have the same problem after update new fw.
I can downgrade to 1.93xx, but the new fw doesn't work.

Many people were having this problem , and it was answered a lot of times , is faster to search/read than making a new topic and waiting answers .. just my opinion , anyway here is your answer .
To avoid the 270 error , that 2.03 official wwe gives at the time follow this flashing method:
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache

OK. May I ask what to do AFTER I am receiving the error? Unfortunately I didn't read this post above BEFORE trying to update. Now the phone is stuck in bootloader mode and I don't know how to copy the .nbh file to it's internal memory since that memory is not accesible from PC. Should I try to update to a previous firmware, make de steps above ad retry?
Later Edit: I did it as I said before. Flashed another ROM (that went OK), now I'm copying the DIAMIMG.NBH on the Internal Memory and try as described above. Hope this time is working.
Later Edit 2: The update succeded, now the phone is setting up. Thank you. Though, I'm wondering if there was another metod of copying the NBH file without flashing another ROM

I have the same problem with a Windows Vista, i install the same rom update with Windows XP and works

I fixed this problem yesterday!
Hello all,
i decided to update, as all of us and i got the 270 EROR
So i was stuck and the device was not responding.
What i did was to switch it off by taking the batery out...
When i started it again i got the same preloader colour screen. I hoocked it on the USB cable again and started the update yet again.
Everithing was perfect this time, so i suggest you do the same as i did.
btw, i think its working slower now...
best regards

try flashing from internal storage

Try this link, might work.

TRY THIS FIRST........as per cyron_at, and my recommendation. Here are the instructions...
Internal Method of flashing Radio or ROM
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache

I can't find the file you mention in your reply...
What file are you using?

When you download a rom or a radio the file is always a .nbh file. Put that file and that file only in your Internal Storage (4GB). Not in a folder or anything but in the root of the storage and rename it DIAMING.nbh.
THen follow the instructions in my last post...

ROM manager get not started

Hi,
I have in my hand a DHD from virgin telecom.
Now, in belgium we have three providers: Base, Mobistar, Proximus, Mobistar and Proximus I can register on there network but I can not register to base network!
that means I need to unlock. First and foremost I have to root release by s-off, then engs-off I did that
my CID is now 11 ......,
that means that my DHD is unlocked but I still get no network.
I already did downgrade from 1.75 to 1.32 with goldcard,
En then i have change the buildversion to 26.04.03.17_m2
Actualy, i do everything correct but why cant i register to base network? It is very strange. Must i try another rom version
Forexample revulution hd or something? But i see not a piont!
Or must i pay for a unlock code? En how works that system can they really unlocked from the air? If they so, than must them hacking the system in dublin eho they check the imei numbers..
Have somebody any suggestion to my problem, otherwise i gona sell them ((
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

try installing some other rom and try putting in a different sim card than what you currently have.

ok, i'm know trying to install the revulution hd 2.1 rom now.
1/ according to the guide i must download the full wipe and then the 1.3 upgrade Wipe 1.3 for the safety of the device
2/ I need put these two files (.zip file) in the sd card with the rom file.
3/ then should I be sure if I'm released by the root in the Terminal Emulator Android
typing SU, As a result I've gotten #.
so far I have everything correct according to the guide.
4/The next step should be in the rom manager, I need the flash clockworkmod
and then rebooting which means boot in the clockworkmod.
but when I reboot I got that stupid htc logo. I tried that part again the same old sh*t again and again i'im every time stuck in that logo!! what am I doing wrong?
thx

Are you sure the problem isn't the SIM card and not the handset?
In the UK I use Orange and no matter what I do to the phone it won't let me use Vodafone. That's because its an Orange SIM card.
As for your current problem.
Take out the battery and boot the phone normally.
Within ROM Manager you need to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.x.x.x not 3.x.x.x you may need to do this twice as some users experience problems with flashing it once. Ensure you accept any Superuser requests.
Now, with the ROM & Full Wipe .zips on your SD Card boot into Recovery, either from ROM Manager or by turning off and starting holding volume down. Select Recovery using the volume keys and press power to enter. Make sure HTC FastBoot is unchecked first (Settings > Applications > FastBoot)
Now once in Recovery highlight "install zip from sdcard", press power, highlight "choose zip from sdcard", press power, highlight "Full Wipe 1.3.zip", press power, highlight "Yes - Install Full Wipe 1.3.zip", press power.
Now repeat this process for the ROM you downloaded and wish to install. Once complete highlight "reboot system now". Done.
Sorry if this teaching you to suck eggs, that's not my intention.

@nuri1: sorry but you're doing all wrong (I'm newby also so I can write such a sympatic comment)
For your network problem:
If you mean that you tried SIM from each provider... it could be the phone.
If with one SIM card you can't connect to another provider... it's a SIM card problem (or agreement between providers)
For your flash problem:
you mixed too many things. Take one step by step guide and follow it carefully.
You can see your phone as 3 layers:
Boot
Recovery
Build
To go in boot:
1/ power the phone and hold vol-
2/ adb reboot bootloader
To go to recovery
1/ on some build, long press "power" choose "reboot" then tic "recovery"
2/ use ROM Manager and choose the option to reboot in recovery
3/ adb reboot recovery
All the rooting of the phone (S-OFF, ENG-OFF...) will allow to install the "recovery" on your phone. It's te first steps to do.
When you're done, in recovery just flash your build (it has to be a zip on your SD). The "Full Wipe 1.3" is just an empty build used to clear the NAND (at least one part). You don't have to use 2 different ones.
So when you talked about 2 zip... for me it's wrong.
I have my DHD since last week and there are good and easy guides in the dev section.
If CWM is installed follow the clear explanantions of "andyharney"
Tip: first launch of ROM Manager will freeze your phone (at least each time for me). It's due to the SU permission. Easy to solve, launch "solve permissions issues" (sorry translated from french), accept the SU warning then back (no need to go through the full process).
Then you can choose to reboot "recovery", no hang anymore.

hi,
you said in the rom manager you must click clockworkmod 2.0.xxx en no 3.0 xxx
but i can only see 3.0.0.6 en no the other?
wtf!!!
thx

i got it
thanks anyway
lets rock!!
