I bricked it.....and made it come back to life!!!! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

i just bricked my diamond while trying to creat a splash screen i accidently clicked on SPL insted of SPLASH and updated my rom and it got bricked but then i got it to upload a new rom through bootloader!!! if any1 needs help on how to revive your diamond plz PM me or ask me here n ill be glad to help!!

and oh yeah i got the splash screen to work AS WELL!!! LOLZ

so then you're saying it wasn't bricked,
bricked means completely dead, and you just merely flashed the wrong thing to the wrong place. if you'd of flashed and corrupted the bootloader, however, then you'd of bricked it
just keep in mind, this is why hardspl rocks!

I second Addicteddddds post. You didn't brick it, but you probably thought you had, so at least the fear you experienced was for real.

I will agree.... but how do u FU** up the bootloader?? i mean how exactly do u brick a phone?? just for knowledge guys, definately dont want to try it or anything!!

Nope, you didn't brick your device, you only forced it into bootloader (by corrupting a non vital part).
You can brick your device by uploading a wrong or corrupted bootloader..
Olipro's hard SPL has a failsafe, it doesn't allow to upgrade the bootloader.

Ok, so how do you revert to original bootloader for warranty purposes then? I tried flashing from internal storage the 1.93 original SPL, and still had olipro's...
Any ideas?

Oilpro H-SPL is protected so can only flash original within windows and not from bootloader...
There is a thread with various SPLs here somewhere.

Remember to return to stock ROM and Radio before changing SPL

I don't think so. My Hard-SPL was overwritten and now has the 3.0 version and not SPL version 9.99.
9.99 is NOT Hard-SPL, it's Des's Crashproof spl which is not even trying to prevent itself from being overwritten.
OliPro?
Hello
What about OliPro SPL-1.20.Olipro with IPL-0.5
Can it also be overwritten or wich hard spl do I need first to flash?
Roman
don't worry , simply follow the instruction and reflash it again with the new rom , then it will pass through the 28% ...

I guess you're in a pickle. There must be a way around not having an official Orange rom. Have you tried the SD card method from an Orange rom dump? Otherwise, the rom cookers should be able to come up with something. With all of these people trying these roms certainly you must not be the only one with an Orange phone. Good luck .
Hi Guys,
I am also stuck @ bootloader. I have the original rom, but how do I flash this back? It keeps on telling me that it cannot detect the phone. What can I do? Thank you!
You can flash the spl from the bootloader via mtty, but that's not something Ive seen clear instructions on how to do... you might want to log into #xda-devs in freenode IRC and get stepped through it.
If you're stuck at the bootloader, just try running the hard-spl flash right from there...

Yeah, I thought deleting 'SPL.nbh' would prevent the RUU from installing the new SPL but the Hard-SPL got overwritten on flashing.
Kris
there are 2 spl entries in the release... spl.nb and spl.nbh... you have to remove both. also I'd remove the ipl.nb...
These are the files inside the exe:
EnterBootloader.exe
ErrorBattery.fig
ErrorUSB.fig
ModelID.fig
rapitool.exe
README.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.cfg
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
RUUGetInfo.exe
RUUResource.dll
RUU_signed.nbh
SPL.nbh
I suppose you meant to remove the .nb entries inside RUU_signed.nbh

My First Brick..... :eek:

Hi guys. I have installed loads of ROMs onto my trusty hermes yet today, when trying to flash DuttyThroys Ultra Ultra Lite rom this happened: i downloaded ROM and installed it, it seemed to install fine, got to 100% and then came up with error message stating that Image File was corrupt. Now my hermes is stuck on the multicoloured bootloader screen?!?!?!? I have SPL 2.10. Hard SPL V7 HERM 100 IPL 1.04 (Dont know which of these is relevant to anythin?) .I have read the WIKI on repairing bricks but for my problem it says to reflash any nbh without radio. How is this possible if i cant get my pc to connect to my hermes???
Tried the method of turning off usb connection in active sync, removing battery, reconnecting to usb and running mitty (command SET 14 0) but nothing happens. Mitty says CMD error and active sync doesnt reopen the connection like the guide says! Man i hate this cuz i have now become one of those annoying noobs who has bricked their phone and hassles everyone for help!!!!
Have also tried to flash from sd card but nothing happens, flicks to white screen with LOADING... on it for 2 secons then flicks back to that wonderful multicoloured screen of joy!
Any help will be appreciated guys, cant live without my hermes!!!
Welcome to the fuc... nightmare world of the brick,i'mma in your same situation,now my Tytn is a piece of white stone,and it seems there's no reason to bring it back to live!
I can't stay without my Tytn i do a lot of things with it,Skype,SIP calls,Mail,Messenger,Memo,Internet......i'm in totally despair!!!
you should be able to just reflash a known good rom.

With the microsd card...
right, its looking good. managed to begin flashing (bar has stopped for ages but having read this is normal im not so scared!) using the SD method. Where my device wasnt superCID i had to use the matching ROM (Orange) to my CID (which incidently i dont know, just downloaded both Orange ROMs).
While im waiting ill try and help you TETSUO! (Im a noob so probably cant!)
Is your device SuperCID??? tell me as much as you can about your device SPL etc
dude, if u read my post u would have seen that i have tried SD method once (sing Black 3.5 not ORANGE ROM), im not crying and im grateful for any help but when i get advice such as 'flash a rom' im gonna be pissed!
And i have read ALL the page on unbricking!!!
It worked!!
One more question, as i have installed a stock Orange ROM do i now need to reinstall HardSPL v7??
Are you on a Win XP or a Vista PC?
XP dude, sorry should have said! and thanks
i went into bootloader, still says 2.10 olipro but when i try to update to new ROM (Black X RC)and pick autodetect it says it says unknown version, use SSPL. it never used to say this so i assume i need to install HardSPL 7 again???
with the tri colour sceen, when you plug the usb cable in does it go from serial to USB ?
what OS have you got ?
just my 2 cents hope it helps.
dude, i have got past that problem and have managed to install an Orange ROM onto it. i only need to know ow whether to install HardSPL v7 again!
sorry slooooooooooooooooow typing
good question hope there an answer,

just saw your post if ur device is hardspl you just need to supercid your device, If your spl is still showing hardspl and its coming as a error that normally happens to me as well just manually click spl 2.10 and tick (is it hardspl?}
To recap, i have now managed to flash a stock Orange ROM from SD card ( i think the reason it didnt work first time with SD is because device isnt SuperCID and i was trying to flash Black RC, soon as i used Orange ROM (my device is M3100) it worked. I am now back to a fully operational device. I wish to go back to Black but when i AutoDetect what bootloader i have it recommeds SSPL method. Before all my problems it would always automatically pick 2.10?? Does this mean i need to install HardSPL v7 again??
it was HardSPL v7 before all these problems, but im a noob so dont know if it still is?? would installing Orange ROM from SD Card remove HardSPL?? Bootloader still shows SPL as 2.10 oli

If you only flash the orange os.nb only then your hardspl wouldnt have changed so its safe to flash your device just manually choose.
If you want to flash hardspl again then do it on a precaution method
Mark,
First of all well done for getting yourself out of a hole. It seems quite difficult to ask for help these days without being shot to pieces even when you have first tried to help yourself by doing all the right things, which is more than can be said for some who come on here asking for help. So well done again.
Re your question, I would reflash Hard SPL anyway to be sure; however before you do that go to the Mr Vanx's guide on hard SPL (forgot the link but type in www.mrvanx.org and you should be taken there) and follow his instructions.
Good luck.

AsusA5EB, your ARTEMIS is dead, i've exactly the same problem since 3 weeks.
You can try, to enter in bootloader : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Resets
I think u should tell us what rom u flashed on your device in the first place.
Flash original rom to solve the issue, if not, u can use mtty to reset flash, and then install your original rom.
U guys already know that before flashing ANY rom besides your local CID, U MUST UNLOCK IT BY USING USPL.
Like i told u, all´s in the WIKI.
Hi there...
Do not worry your phone is not dead.
Read some things about USPL and than if it doesn't helps (and it won't, because I presume that you can't synchronize it with active sync), read something about MTTY and how to use it.
Be patient, read carefully and you'll make it.
By looking on your report from splash screen I can see that you have done USPL....but it went wrong.MTTY will solve your problem.
Spend some time reading and you'll do it.
Cheers

[TUT] HOW-TO restore Diamond to stock for warranty

Due to a hardware problem in my Diamond I needed to restore it to manufacturer default. I didn't find a guide to this and since I've done the research anyway I thought I'd put together this little tutorial as the information was somewhat scattered around the forum. I hope this guide will be of use for the community.
My phone was originally branded and sim-locked by 3. After I was through with it, it was SIM-unlocked, security unlocked and had HSPL, custom ROM and a radio ported from another device. The steps below is what I did to restore it to stock. All steps might not be neccessary for you. This procedure might also work for other devices than the Diamond, but of course you need other versions of SPL, ROM etc.
1. Backup everything on your phone to your computer - use activesync, PIMbackup etc and make a copy of your Internal Storage.
2. Make a hard reset (hold vol down + enter and soft reset) and chose to format moviNAND. This step is only neccessary if you want to wipe your Internal Storage before you send the device in for repair, but I recommend it.
3. Go to www.htc.com and download the latest stock ROM (includes stock radio and SPL). You find it under Support and you enter your s/n to get the correct stock ROM for your device, complete with branding for your operator. You can also find stock ROMS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
4. Flash the stock ROM. Now you have stock ROM and Radio on your device. Stock SPL will not be installed until you've replaced HSPL with an older stock SPL and flashed ROM again.
5. Get RUU-SSPL and stock SPL from HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39. I used the stock 1.93 SPL. Some instructions and info about restoring stock SPL is in the linked post by cmonex and due credit goes to her. I will repeat some of that info to keep this guide step-by-step. EDIT: Stock SPL 2.03 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3359191&postcount=390
6. Put the .nbh file from the SPL you downloaded into the same folder as the extracted contents of RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and run the RUU. This flashes an old stock SPL.
7. Flash your stock ROM from step 3 again. This step is neccessary to get the correct stock SPL on your device, eg. the one that corresponds with the stock ROM you've downloaded in step 3. It was not installed in step 4, because then you still had HSPL. In step 6 you've installed a stock SPL and now the correct stock SPL will flash along with the stock ROM. After this step I got SPL 2.03 on my Diamond.
8. Remove the Security Unlock from your device using the instructions and Security Relocker by Olinex from this post by cmonex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3299516&postcount=492
Now, my Diamond is still SIM-unlocked. I have not managed to find any info about how to restore the SIM-lock, but it is hopefully not neccessary for warranty. As far as I can tell, the unlock doesn't show anywhere, but of course all they need to do is to try a SIM-card from another operator...
If anyone has info about how to restore SIM-lock, then I'll update this guide with that info.

I second that, it contains links to stock ROMs, that'll hopefully stop a million topics about it lol.
This does not work for me.. However i have a problem. the touch screen of my device is not working.. so i can't get pass the allign screen part .. and for somereason the ruu won't connect to phone when it is at tha part so i can't install the spl.. the only way i can do that i through bootloader and it flashes fine but when i then look in bootloader to see the spl it still shows 1.40 olinex..

You're right, I tried it too. Flashing SPL through bootloader doesn't work.
You can try using JumpSPL instead, I've attached it in this post. I don't think JumpSPL will require any screen prompts on your Diamond. You can read instructions.txt in the zip, but it's just really the .bat file so you get an idea of what it's doing. Run the .bat, press enter at the prompts and run the RUU for your stock SPL instead of HSPL when asked. At your own risk, I have not tried this myself.
where can i read more information about jumpspl, how it works and everything?

I have just tried it and it gets stuck where it should run the JumpSPL.exe on the device. After a few minutes it comes with an error:
"ERROR: CreateProcess failed with Errorcode = 30123
- UNKNOWNERROR: 0x000075ab"
This is not good I just think its wierd that because of a broken screen it is impossible for me to get the stock spl flashed back on.

Sorry to hear it and I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. After all, my little tutorial is primarily aimed at those whose Diamonds have working screens...
On another note, my Diamond came back from warranty repair and the repair shop had not noticed anything that would void my warranty. In the meantime I got myself a Topaz and now I've sold my Diamond, but I'll be checking this thread from time to time.
Hey thanks bro..!! I need to give mine for reparing..
I have a hardware problem with the reset button.. Do you think I should flash my diamond back to stock? (I don't think they'll check the software right?)

I would restore it to stock anyway. Some workshops actually look for excuses/reasons why the warranty won't apply so I say you'd definitly be taking a risk if you didn't.

If you manage to install ANY stock SPL and then flash the correct ROM for your country and operator then you automatically get the correct SPL too, since stock ROMs include SPL. If you go to htc.com and type in your s/n then you automatically get the latest ROM for your device and operator.

I only link to the SPLs provided by olipro and cmonex in the hard-SPL thread. If you need closer info about SPLs I suggest you ask there. I only tried to revert back to stock SPL 1.93 myself and it worked just like described in first post.
Thanks Op
