I asume that you already read here:

If none of that helps perhaps someone can have more ideas.

bricked my GSM diamond with CDMA

hi folks,
seems to be that i have a BIG problem...
my t-mobile diamond had some heavy connection problems the last days (apart from this battery sucking system that made me charge it twice a day), so i decided to install both a new radio rom and a new WM rom on it.
after all those attempts didnt work (yes, i've read the threads and yes, i've followed the instructions! ), i got the ****ING IDEA to follow the instruction shown on youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGibMZC7-g (see also forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062) for a CDMA diamond. don't ask why, i thought that i could own a cdma phone as all of the gsm software didn't work... :-//
during step no. 1 (unlocking - yes, i wanted to do the whole programm! :-/ ) my diamond switched off and ... is dead now! no chance to switch it on, no chance to get into bootloader, no chance to hardreset...
now my question to the pros: do i have ANY chance to reanimate my diamond? i would be grateful for any ideas!!! thanks in advance,
p.p.
have you tried vol down and soft reset simultaneously?

yes, didnt work...
Try a hard reset. If that doesnt work see if you can enter bootloader. Instructions can be found in a search.

thanks, but as i've already written, both doesn't work. my diamond is simply... DEAD! :-(
yep looks like it
anyone ANY idea to get my diamond back to life?
my frind i think you nead a new mb so you must go to htc service
It was quite common, when people were looking desperately for SU and were using CDMA soft.. Sorry to say this, but your diamond is a brick now, and only motherboard replacement will do. there are some hardcore people on this forum who are rescuing such phones, but I'm not sure if they are still operational. Search for JTAG on teh forum, or send it to the service. If it;s on guarantee, then you should be fine, as they shouldn't be able to determine what happened. Otherwise you can always zap the phone with a stunner, and presto, phone ready for guarantee.
your phone is dead bro, i will be willing to buy it from you, i need peices to fix mine, pm me if interested
hey dude, dont worry..u're like the umpteeth guy who did it..just refer to this forum forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-488687.html..haha
I have long time ago also installed a CMDA-ROM accidentally. When the flashing procces ended I just got only the slpash screen (black without Rom Version Information).
I thought my Diamond was bricked but i could not believe it . After i had performed a hardware reset several times i used mitty and i could flash a ROM.
Now i have mostly a ROM as backup on my storage-card this in case it will go wrong during flashing procces.

no signal help!

after phone working perfectly fine for a few weeks. i am not receiving constant signal. i am using radio 4.49.25.17. idk what can possibly be wrong any ideas?
i installed the ATT stock rom and left it for about 2 days and it started working again! idk if that fixed the issue but thats what i did.
is your problem anything similar to this? If so, I have been looking for a solution, but got no ideas so far =)
Edit: Oh yeah, forgot the link =)) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616426
Similar to what? I think you might have forgot to paste a link or somthing.
Any rate, if you have not loaded any new software to the phone I would sugguest the first thing you do is a hard reset. If that does not help you out then I would reflash the radio. This is all software and it can become corrupt for various reasons. It doesnt happen much but it does happen. All you have to do is read around this site to find out how many times a "Gremlin" has been removed with a hard reset.

With the phone on:
Settings>System>Clear Storage
You know, this wipes out everything -- data and applications -- on your device, everything that's not part of the ROM (OS or Radio)

bluetooth help please

I'm running xplode mini rom and when i try to pair my bluetooth it says incorrect password or pin unable to pair but no menu pops up to enter a password. any help thanks in advance. i did search but no luck, even google.
Do you know of anyway to reset your bluetooth device?
no option to forget device or reset it. its one of those stupid hand free 1xxplantronics m100
Well I had a problem with blue ant handsfree device. It wouldn't connect so I searched on blue ants website and finally found out I needed to do a factory reset. It all went good from there, but maybe you are experiencing a different problem altogether. Sorry if I couldn't be of any help.

****ed up my P8000

Hello XDA, this is my first post, this comunity is awesome and helped me a lot for a couple of years now.
there always seems to be a solution to everything!
but now i realy ****ed up. i accidentaly checked the wrong thing on the so called "smart phone flash tool"
i klicked firmware upgrade instead of download only.
is there any way so rescue my phone? thank you very much in advance! :crying:
here is a screenshot: (i cant paste link because i am new):crying:
I'd better let someone more qualified answer your query but I'm pretty sure your situation can be recovered easily. What happens if you try to reflash the firmware again with the correct settings? These phones are pretty hard to brick!

there probably is SOME way to fix it, i am sure, but the phone does not even boot into recovery.
Mediatek phones are hard to brick, haha
It is PROBABLY going to give a headache in order to find the needed files, flash the stuff again and etc using the proper way, but PROBABLY your phone will relive again. Try rooting and installing Eragon after a full wipe, if that option is available.

This may help.
I was in the same state when I accidentally flashed a the wrong logo.img file. I fixed it by doing a format on flashtool>stock rom>custom recovery>custom rom again!
