i just loaded a new rom onto my diamond. after installation the phone turns on and displays touch diamond then sits there for about 20 seconds then reboots. its keeps doing it. what can i do?!! ive tried loading another rom but it seems to keep doing it.
When you put you phone into bootmode, does it still restart then?
And have you tried a hard-reset?
it did stay in boot mode, but once i loaded a new rom it did the same thing. i had to load a couple roms before it stuck and started working. thanks for your help.

Maybe this link will help to solve the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3433851&postcount=22
Option 2:
If the link above method doesn't work for you, then just simply but your device into bootloader and flash a stock ROM then go back to a cooked ROM and everything she be ok.
Go Here to Find Stock Roms It doesn't matter which one you chose as the goal here is to remove the bloated ROM which happens from too many flashes.
hi, i know this post is a little old but MY DIAMOND IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING!
i just started leaerning how to do all this, and the only HardSPL that worked on my phone was 1.24.
i updated to that spl, then i upgraded the radio but when i did the rom flashing event i am left with a messed up phone, resulting in only turning on and off, not getting past the touch diamond screen.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Guide to completely restore your messed up device
This little guide is made for newbies who are stuck after flashing images in a wrong way or flashing wrong things.
Note: This is only for GSM Touch Diamond!
This Guide does not include the MTTY Procedure!!
Q. What does this mean?
A. Well, if you are still facing some problems after following this guide, it's time to use MTTY.
Q. what is MTTY?
A. It's a flashing procedure before flashing a ROM, it actually formats your phone (you internal storage will not be lost) and then you are able to flash a ROM.
Q. When do I have to use MTTY?
A. You have to use it before every ROM flash. Before you proceed with step 14, you must read this! It's the only step you need to do it, except for the latest cutsom ROM flash.
Perform a hard-reset (Hold Center button + reset)
Go into bootloader mode by holding volume down and pressing the red reset button
A red-green-blue-white screen will appear. In the white part of the screen, there should be the word 'Serial'
Connect your phone to the computer.
If the word 'Serial' changes into 'USB', you succesfully connected your phone
Go to this link and download 'Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip'
Extract it to an empty folder.
Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, make sure your phone is still connected
Follow the steps, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. it should go to black screen now.
SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode and verify the screen shows 1.40.OliNex.
note: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
Now you have re-flashed Hard-SPL, it's time to flash a stock ROM.
Make sure your phone is connected again
Download a stock rom (ie from here) and run the executable.
Follow the instructions, and be patient.
You're done now. You are now able to flash a custom ROM of your choice.
If you can't get your device to work, not my problem! If this didn't help your device is bricked. You'll have to return it to HTC.
And of course I am not responsible for any trouble you get with this guide.
Don't you understand some steps or do you still need help?
Try reading this. It is a great tutorial about flashing your device including the MTTY procedure.
If you still can't get a clue of it don't hestitate to PM me!
You can also add me to msn, see the msn icon to the right of my post.
when i tried to upgrade to 'Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip' the progress bar on my phone and the computer go up to 100% in less than 2seconds, then it says 'error [270]: update error
the image file is corrupted. please check your update utility'
And on my devices bootloader screen it says 'upgrade ROM code error please try again'

Are you using Vista? If so, try it on another computer
Another problem could be that the package is corrupted. Try downloading it again.

happend to me once.
if you have the same problem as i did, you have a rom update that was written badly into the rom memory.
what you see is supposed to be a splash image, but because the rom is not written properly - all you see is a bunch of bits.
the reason it's "stuck" there is probably the same reason - the rom is not complete and it can't load.
1. put your device in BL mode
2. flash to a different rom (including a radio rom), preferrably one with spalsh images (jwright's roms have those usually)
3. make sure the upgrade reaches 100%
4. wait 10 seconds, then unplug & hard reset
if that doesn't work -
search the wiki on how to use MTTY to clear and reset the partition table on universal ('task 28 aa' ? if i remember correctly, but please double-check)
then after doing that, repeat the steps i wrote earlier, and you should be fine.
Hello.
I have installed a PV Hermes WM 6.1 Rom.
It now says : thank you for using this software...etc
I think it was for betatesters, and now it shows only a splash screen, and i CANNOT install another ROM.
I tried to install by starting in BOOTLOADER, but it does not help.
What can i do???

I think I read somewhere (but have not tried), do a hard reset, and when the screen that says Tap to begin using your device pops up, start attempting to flash from there.
But they "should" flash from the bootloader screen.
I had exactly the same problem. Tried all the tricks to go back to the previous ROM. I also tried boog321's hard reset idea, but it just puts you back into the bootloader. HOWEVER, when I then went through the screen alignment process (just for fun), lo! it works!
The problem is that i can`t get inside windows anymore. It stays at the screen 3 seconds after power up. Is there a way to hardware reset?

Just flash a different rom dude!! probably a expired beta rom.
i have tried to falsh 4 differnt ROM`s. It makes 2% and says rom orrupter or something.
Tried installing via MicroSD card? I installed the same ROM a while back...
Hey. I just re-flashed right now after I installed an expired beta by mistake.
Start with the Hermes connected USB, showing the splash out of luck screen.
1. Hold both Power and the ok button on the left and then RESET with the stylus. It should go in tri-color mode
2. Flash a known good ROM
Good luck!
Bro just flash your ppc using other ROM (flash it in bootloader mode) when its in the hermes rom upgrade tap the (force using safe SSPL) it will do the trick.
I already said i did that.
After 1% it stopped and says : ERROR 270. UPDATE ERRROR: The image file is corrupted please check your update utility.
I have done this with 5 roms now.
Will try microsd install.
Hope you have Hard SPL, you need it for sd card flash...
I solved the problem with the bad ROM.
I downloaded an official rom from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
I has done a clean install.
But i still can§t install another rom, from the forum.
Will try again.

Are you sure you have HardSPL installed and CID unlocked your device?
I was attempting to change to ookba's 3VO ROM but the operation failed and the ROM did not install. I did get the recovery instructions screen and followed them but the phone did not reset to the previous ROM (NRGZ28's EnergyROM 52409). The phone hangs on the Windows Mobile screen. I have done the following -
1) Followed ookba's recovery instructions and gotten the tri-band screen. However whenever I try to flash back to the T-Mobile ROM (any version) I get Error 260.
2) Followed stylez hard reset instructions and gotten the reset screen but the phone hangs on the Windows Mobile boot screen. A hard reset does not occur.
3) Followed NRGZ28's "In Case Things Go Wrong" instructions and gotten the tri-band screen, however when I try to flash the EnergyROM (or any other non T-Mobile ROM) I get corrupted image errors.
4) I have used jockeyw2001's bootloader but get Error 260
Also, the power button does not turn the phone off. I have to remove the battery to get it to shut down. I think I have tried all the recovery steps I know if. If anyone has a suggestion or solution I would be most appreciative. Thanks.

Maybe its safe to assume you have a hardware issue? Since the initial flash and following consecutive flashes failed, maybe its a bad USB cable? I would try reflashing the shipped T-Mobile ROM from a different PC altogether using a different USB cable. Since your phone gets to the Bootloader (multicolor) screen means it's not bricked. Try different PC and cable hardware...
Will do. I did try another hard reset and the boot screen has sat for over 20 minutes without getting past it.
Or try flashin stock ROM via SD
you must flash to official rom to make any progress at this point. at least thats what i had to do when my computer auto-restarted in the middle of one of my flashes.
Fixed, thanks for the help.
bricked excalibur

Switched from a PC running Windows 7 to one running XP.

Muga, It's also happening to me. I had previous flashes with different roms Kavana's, rose, energy (6.1 release) and everything went well with no problems at all. But a few days ago, I tried to flash my excalibur with the latest release by NRGZ28 (energy rom 6.5) and what I think what happened was that I didn't run the unlock file aplications (since I didn't have to do it in the other flashes, because I already had unlock the phone with the first upgrade) that's the only explanation I can get. At the end, I came up with the frozen screen and I've tried the bootloader steps, original rom installation, hard reset with no succes at all. What I get is the same error you have.
OK, I've been pulling my hair out for the last week and this is my last attempt before buying a new phone.
I've flashed my phone multiple times and everything has worked great until this past week.
After about 1/2 day - 1 day of use; files on the phone start getting corrupted (ie. the program icons under programs turn into folders and when clicking on the folder it just takes you to the install location of that application).
I've tried flashing/re-flashing the same rom multiple times (wm6.5 v17 and the sprint 1.12). One thing I haven't been able todo is flash back to the original HTC stock rom:
"_Touch by HTC (Sprint)_RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship(2)"
When attempting to flash back to this rom here are my steps:
1) System Windows XP
2) click ROMUpdateUtility.exe
3) click through wizard dialogs.
4) phone goes into bootloader mode (rainbow colored screen) and USB is listed at the bottom.
5) after about 20seconds the wizard dialog says "Congratulations..." meaning the flash was successful (although it really wasn't).
6) Phone stays in bootloader mode.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to flash back to the stock rom? If my phone continues to get corrupted using the stock rom then I guess it's time to buy a new phone.

Did you try a hard reset and allow the phone to reload? Hold SEND and END while soft reset.
After that I would try flashing from bootloader directly. Hold power and camera while soft reset. then plug in usb cord. Try your stock rom that way
Thanks, but still doesn't allow me to flash to stock rom.
Here's steps I took:
1) Hard Reset (SEND+END+Reset)
2) Let phone re-set it's self up.
3) Enter bootloader mode manually (POWER+CAMERA+RESET)
4) Pluged in USB Cable
5) clicked ROMUpdateUtility.exe
6) after about 20seconds the phone goes to black screen and comes back to Bootloader mode.
7) the wizard dialog on PC says "Congratulations..." meaning the flash was successful (although it really wasn't).
7) Phone stays in bootloader mode until I soft-reset.
This was happening to me and I had to flash back to Stock (Not letting Customizations run) and then flash v16.

Did you do anything special to get your stock rom flashed back on your phone? I would love to get the stock rom back on then re-flash v16; just can't get the stock rom to flash...
Going to try and hunt down a 512mb micro card tonight and attempt to flash via the card.
OK was able to restore the stock image by flashing with a memory card.
I'll see how this goes for a couple days and if ok then I'll try flashing and using v16 again.
I am having the same issue with my Sprint Vogue and I also perform all the steps you describe. Also I would get Soft reset = Hard Reset. Guess it is back to Stock ROM for me (for now).
I recently installed 3VO's Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM and i used it for a few days
Then i started having problems with it sowing down so i tried to get another ROM
But everytime i tried to install a new ROM my computer would say "The system cannot find the path specified "Excalibur<Dopod C720/720w, HTC S620/S621, T-mobile Dash> ROMUpdateUtility
I tried installing the official ROM back on to my phone and it worked
But now when i try to flash any other ROM's my compuer gives me that msg again.
I need a updated ROM because i have a 4gig SD card and it is not compatible with the Official ROM
Can someone please help me with this Problem???
Are you remembering to Application Unlock your phone prior to trying to update again?
yea i run the SDA application unlock and the screen comes up and i click remove lock
Then when i run the ROM update
it gives me that msg again
Are you making sure during the FLASHING process to click the center button on your phone to initiate the flashing mode?
---At one point after the cmd file copies and runs some files on your phone, it will tell you a disclaimer about flashing and ask you if you want to proceed. There is a button that says YES, you click the center button and then you enter the 'bootloader'/flashing mode (to my understanding). Someone else had this issue...they forgot this and that messed them up...
when i begin flashing it shows that msg
And when it gets to the step that your talking about my phone doesnt react and show anything at all
