it works just like that??? or i need a different Diamond custom ruu..? or another flash tool.. i will try this in the evening because now i can't, but i want to be documented when i begin
as tonio94 says, if you can manage to get in to the tri-colored bootloader all you need to do is to flash with a rom that supports your phone... did you remember to hard-spl you phone before all this "mess" or?...

No other tools are required. Just put your device into booloader and connect with pc. The bottom of the screen should read USB. At this stage just follow the instructions that you would normal follow when executing the RUU_exe.
I'm sure you have already done this before but here is a guide ....http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4

10x allot for your positive feedback, i now how it's done, just i could not believe it is so simple, i thought i bricked my phone, i will try it this evening when i get home.
thank you again
Problem solved, worked to flash like a charm.
thank's
This thread can be closed.
@skero666: i never recalled you as a noob.. i was just trying to give you an easy answer, sorry if i wasn't clear enough.. (^^,) .. and yeah, if you ever manage to get to tri-color bootload then you'll allways be safe... you'll never brick it unless you never manage to get to bootload .. lol

I just did it but when my device is in bootloader mode there is now
connection with my notebook (VISTA) anymore. When I restart my
PDA the connection is established.
there is a wiki guide to flashing under vista..
please note, that when you start the updater, and your device goes in to bootloader, it times out. So connection is lost. Simply start the update again, with device still connected in bootloader

Yes I did already as you describe the result is still no connection (error).
hmm... i think you're gonna have to use Pof's splxploit to load hard-spl and then flash another ROM from there.
It's a question of whether SPL 3.03 is exploitable in the same way...

Hello,
I have allways start the update twice, Once where the device starts in this 3-Colors boot screen and a second time to start the Flashing process.

On this moment nothing, I did something wrong by flashing the first time
and now I am stuck in SPL 3.03. I think the best what I can do is waiting for
the official rom from HTC.
Hey guys, I have an Excalibur that gets stuck on the TMobile splash screen when you try to turn the device on.
I've tried doing a hard reset, but I still end up with the same problem. I can get the phone into the bootloader mode (green, blue red) but everything I've searched around (read the wiki, tried google, youtube, etc.) says that I need to be connected to ActiveSync in order to flash a rom onto it.
Is there any way to flash this thing while in bootloader mode or am I screwed?
Thanks!!
Stickys, official roms & hard-reset bootloader.
Thanks for the quick response, Stylez!
I've read the "hard reset and bootloader" post, which is how I learned to put the device in bootloader mode (thanks to you!)
I've also downloaded the necessary ROM file and loader from the other sticky you mentioned. (I did read and search on my own before asking)
But when I try to run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe it tells me to connect the device to activesync which I can't really do because it's in Bootloader mode and WindowsMobile Device Center says it's not connected.
Try this.
Did you SDA and Surreal unlocked your cell prior to flashing?
If not, do so. You can find both files in the Wiki or in one of the stickies I am sure.
SDA Unlock it from desktop, reboot, Surreal, drag it in the device, install it, once installed... go to the ROM you chose and run the AUTO file, not RUU... you should follow the instructions of when to click on and the center button on the device, now, (this might occur) I know it does make the sound of restarting and when you load the ROM say v1.7a Ricky and Styles RoseROM, it won't go over 3% saying it can't find the device... just click on the RUU this time, and I bet you that this time it will find the device and load it. Try it and let me know.
When I run the SDA Unlock, the button remains greyed out because it doesn't recognize the device is connected to the computer. Is it supposed to even though it's on the bootloader screen?
The white bootloader screen is only needed when you flash a new ROM into it. You need to connect the device NOT in bootloader but just as is when turned on normally so that the ActiveSync will recognize it.
Same thing for Surreal, you just drag it in the phone and install it as you would install any .cab.

Thanks, but unfortunately I can't get this thing to boot past the T-Mobile splash screen. Is there no way to flash it without Activesync?
Also, I'm in the Red/Green/Blue bootloader (hold the camera button and attach USB cable) not the White one.
So, you are running the T-Mobile flash, yet you can't go past the initial screen? Did you just get it like this or did you flash it before... ???
Did you try to run USPL CID BYPASS? It might get it into white bootloader mode, just assuming. If not, then do as I suggested, when it says it doesn't find the device, re-run the RUU. As posted above.
I got the phone like this from a friend. So, who knows what could be wrong with it.
The bootloader screen says it's running 1.22.0000 and as far as I know, it's the default TMobile rom.
It won't get passed the T-Mobile initial screen. It will just turn back off after a few minutes. I can get it into the Bootloader mode as mentioned before, so I assumed I'd be able to flash it to fix whatever is preventing it from booting fully.
It seems, however, that something more severe may be wrong with the phone if the computer can't register that it's connected which prevents me from running any kind of CID BYPASS programs or SDA Unlock utilities.
Any other suggestions?
I am gonna think about it, but hopefully the more expert in here will help you sooner. I personally think your buddy messed up while flashing or something. Because if he did not, then he can just send it back and get another one from T-Mo. Plus, not being there to see makes things a bit more complicated this once.
Are you even connected to ActiveSync when in bootloader mode? I don't mean you, I mean in general.
And btw, did you try to do what I suggested you?
Connect the phone, get it in bootloader, try to flash the T-Mo ROM and clickon AUTO.bat, an image is on the guide with pics sticky thread in here... that should open and ms-dos thing, even if it opens the loader and doesn't go over 3%, this time... click on the RUU icon.. it worked for me last night and for the T-Mo ROM you shouldn't need any sda or surreal stuff. Try it...
You can get the T-Mo ROM from their web-site or here too.
I know you can go on youtube and look up upgrade to kavana, there is a guy who has it for download. Thing is T-Mo asks you for a cell number to verify you are the owner of the phone so you might have to insert your friend's number.

No, while in bootloader and connected via USB, ActiveSync (WindowsMobile Device Center in Vista) says that there is no device connected.

I tried this step, however, when the DOS box opens, it tells me it cannot find the phone and asks to try again. I do this repeatedly and get nothing. I also tried clicking NO on the retry, but nothing.

Tried that too, I actually have T-Mobile so I put in my own number. I ended up with the same error message about not finding a phone. Is it supposed to find the phone when connected in Bootloader mode?
Thanks for your help, btw
Thanks for explaining that. I think you might have yourself a bit of a problem.
I'll ponder on it and let you know. Can't you return it in exchange for another Dash?
What ROM are you trying to flash? I would recommend that you go to T-Mobile.com/wmupgrade and download the current Officially Dash ROM and recover the device that way. If you do not have a T-Mobile phone number, I can get you one that you may use to access the download page.
Once you reflash the official rom I recommend you do the CID unlock and flash a 6.1

Hi everyone, I was here last night and asked a stupid question.
Well I tried to flash the phone today, and when i was unlocking it. The Hard-SPL unlocker worked (at least i thought it did)
But when i waited for the phone to reboot, it wont pass the Boot screen. It just says Touch pro2
So, it wont start.... Did i brick it?
Oh, I can access the bootloader by the way. So if there is a way to save this phone, and possibly get to using a custom rom, i would really love to do so...

NO, you are fine. Does your bootloader show that you installed the HARD SPL? IF yes, just use the RUU_exe. file and download another rom.
Yes, it shows it is unlocked and running OliNex
I am sorry, i know how to mod other things, psp, xbox, wii, but this is a new thing for me. Thank you for letting me know i havent bricked my phone.
Is there a specific file this RUU_exe that you are talking about? or does that come with every rom?

Yes, most chefs include it with there rom. Plug your device into your pc. The bottom should change from serial to USB. Then flash the rom and your done.

I would try a reboot... remove sim... settings and search for networks. Other than that just flash a new rom.. Mine worked fine after root....but I guess it depends on the network.

what have you tried

If you're on windows Vista or later and can't get the device recognised - that's a common problem, install pdanet, that will pull all the drivers in, and try again.
Otherwise, more details.

1) Mods won't like you posting a question in the Dev thread... there are specific sections (general, firmware, etc) where you can post it...
2)Considering that your phone is practically new, if you only rooted it and haven't installed a custom recovery, you will be able to update your firmare (OTA) through the built in upgrade process on your phone. Once, that is done, root your phone and install a custom recovery like TWRP.
good luck

Yes, I sure do.
First of all, if you want the newest ViperOne, you'll want 5.0.1 firmware, at least.
Hook up to you PC. Get into ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all.
Post the readout here, and I, or someone else, will point you in the proper direction to update your firmware.
Please make sure to delete the serial# and IMEI from the readout. Never post those in a public forum.

Yes, but that's easy. Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, and flash a rooted ROM, such as ViperOne.
Also, I recommend not using one click toolkit methods. They often cause problems, plus doing it manually is easy and gives you an introduction to ADB and fastboot, making it less intimidating.
I don't know how to do it manually =( last time I tried I hard bricked my m7

You need to re-lock your bootloader first if you are not S-Off.
Get back into fastboot and do fastboot oem lock, then leave your phone connected, and run the RUU again.

I don't know.
Maybe you don't have the drivers installed on your PC.
Go to Device Manager with your phone connected. You should see that your M8 is connected.
If you don't see it in Device Manager, download HTC Sync Manager and run it to install the drivers. After that, uninstall HTC Sync. It doesn't play nice with ADB and fastboot. The drivers will remain.
Then go to Device Manager and confirm that your phone is listed there when connected..
