Downgraded SPL/ROM and likely bricked phone? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi all
OK, my screen alignment on HD is so messed up i went to downgrade my HD HTC (1.56 Olinex -W6.5Miri) back to its original Orange SPL and OS so i can send it back to HTC under warranty.
Foolishly I changed the HSPL first to original stock so it is now a SPL 1.14.000 (no olinex or anything) in bootloader.
I went to then flash ROM to latest Orange HTC OS release from xda (compatible with that SPL) and just got the 262 error.
So, I have a big problem...
1. I cannot flash any ROM - error 262 problem
2. I cannot cook a new HSPL in any way - error 262 problem
3. Ive got green screen and cannot in anyway load SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip and then run it (which normally fixes the 262 error)
4. Ive got green screen so my phone doesnt work
5. tried hard reset - now hangs on loading new OS in green screen
Is it bricked? Is there any software I can use to force load HSPL? I figure my aim is to get the phone back to 1.56 / W6.5 and start over again.
Very curious to see if folk out there have any ideas...
Cheers in advance

in addition
am using W7 on pc and have updated drivers for bootloader usb sync
EDIT: I have now moved this post to Blackstone/Blackstone/ thread.

Pbl flashing new rom

Hi,
after successfully flashing a lot of roms I finally landed on touch 2.1 and the gps didn't work anymore. I reinstalled factory rom and now I am unable to install anything new since with uspl there is a white screen and no usb connection afterwards. And with ruu it stops at 2-3% saying it is a corrupted file or the wrong ruu.
<br>I have the orange spv m650 and am trying everything to get a new rom on it.<br> I akso retried the two steps .bat from meschle. But that didn't work as well.
<p>Any help possible???

Unable to install Haard SPL (OSX+Parallels+Vista Ultimate)

Hi,
I tried many times to install the hard spl version 1.34 on my new Diamond, but I have always the same problem:
- the program start
-it run since the boot loader mode appear on the screen
-then appear the progress bar and then ..... NOTHING.
I'm not new to flash and add new software, infact before the Diamond I had a Trinity flahed many and many times (Kaiser, Elegance Edition, etc....).
What can I do to solve the problem ? Really I don't undestand.
Please If someone has solved the problem post the solution.
Thank's
Post your SPL upgrade procedure, step by step.
We'll try to see where you might've gone wrong.
Did you sync your diam with active sync?
Did you try the spl-manual?
Maybe it is also good to give a link to the post you got the SPL from, so we know exactly which version you have (signed/unsigned).
I could not do it on my macbook pro either. IN teh end I resorted to boot camp and it worked fine
The procedure I made is still the same.
1. connect to activesync
2. start the exe
3. the screen of the diamond star the boot loader mode
4. appear the progress bar both in the pc screen and the diamond screen
5. the procedure stops and no data are transferred to the diamond
I tried all the three version of hard spl but the problem is still present.
The version of hard spl (from 1.24 to 1.34) is the one you can find in the first page of the forum.... belive me I did it many times in the past and I read very well the procedure suggested in the post.
However I will try to use boot camp.
Thank' s to everibody .

The new official rom's appear to be flashable only by using the "flash from internal storage card" method, so just search out those words & you shall find all info/ tut's on doing it m8

Or unzip the exe file and flash the .nbh file with udK.s Custom RUU
just start bootloader mode (reset and keep vol down till the tricolor appears.)
u'll see "serial" written on the bottom of the screen, just connect your diamond to the pc till "USB" appears instead of "serial".
now just follow the method that omaga mentioned erlier.
it's as easy
good luck!
doesn't work either way. i got the same error when i tried flashing the new rom. it doesn't work with the custom RUU, i gave up and flashed another one before trying to flash from storage.
my advice is to flash an older official ROM and try the flash from internal storage solution or try a cooked rom
I had exact the same problem. Tried twice to install the official but sith no luck.
Got bored and Installed Duttys.
Did not try the flash from card though.
Don't worry - when it happened to me I was scary too that I bricked phone- it's not bricked.To make it work just reflash your HARDSPL once again on that tree color screen use olinex 1.40 or 1,93. After that this rom starts working you don't have to reflash it again. I flashed this rom twice and always in the end it trows error bla bla bla . Reflash HARDSPL and it works with no problem even if you do HR.
Cheers guys
thanks friends, i install Dutty's last version (so i need at least one working system).
But i still want to upgrade to latest official, and don't know hot to do that safely?
pegaz: did u re-hardspl after new official rom or u'r talking about any rom suitable ?
Thanks.....
worked for me too.

this problem you're talking about happened ONLY with this official HTC SHIPPED 2.03 version. Any other rom's doesn't cause any problems such like that above

And put your phone in bootloader mode manualy.
Volume down + hold reset button down for a while= 4 colour mode should appear, wait for "serial" change to "usb" just as seatone posted before
Done this with all my previous HTC devices (bt-mode manually)= Problems with flash? 0 times
and a second very importent tip is that Read every thing about flashing the phone before doing it
Ok i just did this update and it did the same thing =( I got the same error and it doesn't seem to work. I did this upgrade from a 1.35 HTC ROM upgrade so it was stock all the way. What can I do to fix this? It's a UK phone and I live in Canada so I downloaded the US one when it asked where I live nearest to. Did I make a booboo?
Ok I did it a third time and it worked =\
Anyone find that the alarm clock function doesn't work? Even if it did like before, it doesn't go off when the phone is off which sucks! My older phones do!
just sharing = i've tried to update te new room 2.03.401.2 and got the same error as you(The image file is corrupted, 270)
Well i, tried to reflash with the same room and again got the same error. Then i downgrade to my previous room, in case 1.93, after did it i reflash hardspl olenix 1.93 ( cause i did not have it before). Done, i was completely safe again.
I did not give up and, again tried to flash the 2.03.401.2 official, but this time from the from the internal storage. Guided by this tuto = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
THATS IT, ITS TO EASY, First i thought it would be so hard, but the procedure its easy a lot.
SPECS @OFFCIAL Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship
The touchflo3d is VERY VERY VERY FASTER, as much as you/me/we/us thought. It also has included automatic regional settings from brazil, which before does not. It's to soon to tell more specs about it but i've soon until now its just great.
TNX GUYS, AND I HOPE HELPED.

I had the same problem yesterday.
So I just rebooted & installed the rom I had previously been using (latest official french one).
Then I followed the instructions for doing a flash from the internal storage :

Instructions for flashing from internal storage:
Extract the RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.2_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe file (or whatever one you are wanting to flash) to a new directory on your PC
Find the RUU_signed.nbh file in this new directory and rename it to Diamimg.nbh
Copy Diamimg.nbh to the root of Internal Storage
Hold in the volume down button + the back button (thats the top right button on the front to the right of the big middle jog control) + soft reset
Follow instructions on screen
When the process is complete (it will say UPDATE SUCCESS) then reset

Everything worked fine.
I also had changed the hspl to HSPL OliNex 1.93 as the phone came with a crappy operater ROM.
At first when the phone gets stuck in the tricolour band mode I thought I wouldn't be able to connect to the pc (no active sync) but at the base of the tri-colour bands you'll see 'USB' if your cable is connected ('SERIAL' if not), & then there's no problem executing the ROM installation.
So put the ROM you had before, then once done, follow the instructions from the quoted text above. It'll work & you'll breathe a sigh of relief.
Here's a decent explanation (visual) of how to do a hard reset : btw, hard reset clearly explained for newbies (such as me)

I'm having the same problem after unsuccesful update I'm getting 4 coloured screen with messege:

Any solutions?, I'v tried already above with no success.
just flash with an older rom & once it's flashed follow the instructions on doing a flash from internal storage.

Need help after flashing

hi guys,
have done the Hard SpL 1.3, added radio 1.5 and tried flashing the WWE JADECore + Manila2D 1.2 PTG version successfully but however the device does not go pass the HTC screen.
i then tried to flash Mary V3.7 lite but it does not load. Requires me to do recovery. However upon recovery , it shows by hello nasty - smart mobility. Stuck right there
i flash JADECore + Manila2D 1.2 PTG again... its loading and successful, however it still reboots to hello nasty - smart mobility and stop again.
Did i miss something out? i dont understand as i assume after the Hard SPL and radio , the rest of the rom can be flashed.
i Have tried several times with this rom and mary's rom
and have soft resetted several times.
Hope for some help.
any help at all?
try official ROM first
hmm okies..
could it be that i didn't unlock the phone yet?
now its in bootloader mode.
how do i flash the unlocker or official rom in?
i still have the original wm5 disc
tried flashing the RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship original wm6.1 rom but it stops at 28% everytime i try.
the custom roms flash nicely and everything boots up until the first or 2nd page then it stops.
i'm on SPL 1.3olio and i guess the radio doesnt matter but its a 1.5
anyone could help? i'm offering a small token via paypal for anyone who can walk my trinity back to the light..
Although Olipro's Hard-SPL 1.30 is the newest version, many people have reported not being able to upgrade their device with this version running. For now it is recommended to use 1.20 or Des' crash-proof SPL for successful upgrades

Found at http://trinityguides.info
have used SPLxploit and it changed to SPL 3.03000
what do i do next? install HardSPL? Install CID unlocker?
boot from SD?

Vogue Stuck at Colors Screen

Ok so i just recently got a Verizon XV6900 (Vogue), i tried flashing the NFSFANS wm6.1 and wm6.5 roms but both of these would constantly cause my device to reboot if it wasn't plugged via USB. So i tried reflashing it back to the original 6.1 pro that came on the phone by using the one from the HTC Website, that failed after 31% and i had to recover it. Now the device is just stuck at the screen with the 3 colors with the message
Vogu100
SPL - 2.01.0000
CPLD-3
i have no idea what to do to get out of this, sorry I'm a complete noob and I tried searching but I couldn't find what i was looking for
Any help is appreciated
Your Vogue is not unlocked. Try running the unlocker (.40) again. Once that is done, unlock using the 2.31 unlocker. You should then be ready to flash a custom ROM.

just plug it back in and try to reflash the stock ROM. don't open any programs on your computer while you are flashing. i tried to open a media player to listen to music and it froze the RUU. just flash it again it worked for me.
