I am no stranger to forums, or 'modifying' electronics. However, this was my first hack at my Touch Diamond. I went through all the proper procedures to update to WM6.5 (or so it seemed) but now, after installing a ROM
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533)
the phone only shows the splash screen, then resets and continues to go through this continuous loop. I cannot access the phone, or get booted to the point where I can connect to the PC. Any ideas, as I am sans phone right now. TIA!
Do you flash a hard-SPL ?
Are you sure the ROM's archive isn't broken ?
The connection on the bootloader mode was good, synced with windows?
I think you didn't flash a rom before ? If yes, no problem, if you flash an other rom before, maybe use the MTTY method.
see how this guy could have saved him self time if the thread in my description was stickyed...
MTTY thread... look there. after that ur green to go again.
I do believe people are successfully using the ROM.
The connections were all fine. I had to first install a new bootloader, then updated the radio device (all worked fine). I then went to update the OS, and the process went through just fine, but when the phone booted, it just keeps cycling through the opening splash screen.
My problem is that I cannot get the phone past that screen to do anything.
reb0rn, thank you! The 'boot to flash' was what I was looking for. The 'Volume Down" with "Power On" was what did the trick (I was doing all sorts of other combinations with the 'reset' key).
I'm loading a new version onto the phone as we speak - wish me luck, and thanks again!

Hi I have a sprint phone andbeen flashing Juicy and Mighty roms for about a year now. I decided to flash v4. The Rom installed to 100%. It's now caught in a loop at the "touch diamond" screen, restarting over and over. I tried hard resets but they didn't work. I don't have the typical information in red below the touch diamond.
Tried searching through the forums and couldn't find answer. Any help would be great. Thankyou

This could be due to a bloated ROM/device.
Method 1:
1) Enter bootloader (soft reset then immediately press vol. down....hold vol down until rainbow screen)
2) Flash Stock ROM
3) Hard Reset
4) Then Flash Cooked ROM
If above doesn't work, then try below...
Method 2:
Procedure:
1. bring the device to bootloader.
2. Launch ActiveSync on PC
3. Go to connection settings
4. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection
5. Now, run mtty 1.42 on PC.
6. CMD>task 29
7. Flash the ROM of your choice.
Must have mtty before starting this procedure.

Dear all,
Desperately need help and deeply appreciate if anyone could shed some light.
I recently upgrade my rom. The rom upgrade without problem, after I installed couple of applications, the phone was hang after restart.
I tried re-flashing the rom couple times and it seems everytime restart, the rom will hang.
After several re-flashing, my phone now stuck at the screen where, it stated, system is being configure and stuck on this screen forever.
I tried reset the rom by Vol-down & back key as well as vol-down & center key, Rom upgrade completed successfully but upon phone restart, my phone keep stuck at the same screen.
I do noticed that, by resetting the phone into bootloader mode (reset with Vol-Down, back key) with USB cable attached to my phone, the bootloader detected USB connection but time out.
Is there any software which I should install on my laptop which allow me to transfer another diamimg.nbh to this phone?
Thank you

you should try mtty...it formats your phone and solves all the problem like the yours..a guide to use it is in a sticky thread
or you can try downloading any rom and usually the chef includes a file called customRUU.exe..put your phone in bootloader mode then flash trough customRUU.exe

Thanks, Managed to extract one Rom and restore my phone via customRUU.exe.
Hi,
I'm a real neewbie so please be gentle.
I've rooted my phone and put defrost 5.4 on it.
Works good and i'm figuring out how things work.
I found out now that when i reboot the phone it gets stuck in starting up.
The colors exploding from the left and the right side to become a "X", but then after a while the x is not made any longer and after half an hour it is still trying to make an X.
Take out the battery, put it back and start the phone and it starts normal.
When i install something from the "defrost setup" its downloaded and when i press install the phone restarts, it is unpacking the file, reboots and then gets stuck again.
Have to take out the battery to start the phone again.
What can be the couse of this??
Just found out that also a "normal start" ends up in a endless bootscreen.
The only way to start the phone is take the battery out, put it back and press "start".
Do a full wipe and try another ROM is my first suggestion.
So idid a wipe, after that a recovery (had to start all over again) but the endless bootscreen still remains.
???
1) Find a new ROM and put it on the root of your SDCARD
2) Boot into Recovery by pressing BACK and the POWER button
3) Perform a full wipe (data/factory reset) and cache
4) Flash the new ROM
5) Boot the phone
If you still have problems post logcat.
i've cleaned and whiped (i think) almost everything.
Installed a fresh defrost 5.6.
Installed the defrost apps addon, the phone reboots and a screen apears with a android an a box with an arrow out.
Text is passing by, the phone reboots and starts up.
So far so good, but when i restart or reboot the phone its hangs in this endless lashing coulorfull screen.
I've tried to make a "logcat".
Hopefully it tells you more than it tells me.
i am having the same problem.
first off all: you can press power + volume down + optical joystick to restart phone.
no need to remove battery
my last logcat (with Error filter): www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop.txt
i started to have this problem when i redid the unrevoked process (dont really remember why, thou).
thx for help
edit: not sure but the first logcat looks like somethings missing
heres anotherone without filter www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop2.txt
thx
OK, maybe this is getting somewhere.
I also did a re-revoke, but i do know why.
the first attempt to root my phone ended up in a small disaster.
At the end of the proces i found out that i have a SLCD screen and not an AMOLED, so my phone was as good as dead.
Thanks to someone on a Dutch forum i was able to get my phone back to life.
After that i rooted my phone with the latest version of unrevoked, and this time i was succesfull.
But now i am encountering this problem and it is no fun.
I have at the moment nothing running on the phone because after a re-re-reinstallation i can start all over again with al the apps and so on.
It hangs at the final stages of the boot it looks like.
I had a similar problem when I was messing around with my old framework.
So why you're getting it, I have no idea.
First thing is first Bud
Download DeFrost 5.7 And use the latest version (Illuminate some issues to start with)
What your saying is the Boot Animation (The Multi Colour X animation "Nexus Boot Animation"
You get a boot loop on there....
How long have you left it trying to boot? the first boot after a Reflash does take alot longer than normal as it has to write to a number of files first.
(This only occurs on a New ROM or a Reflash of the frameworks)
So first off Lets Get that latest ROM on the SD Card:
Use w/e method you need to to get it on there
Turn the Phone Off "Where going to load recovery"
Press the Down Volume Key and press the power button Once.
You will see a white screen with Android images at the bottom:
Press the Volume down once (Recovery) when this is highlighted press the power button
Where now in a black screen Press Volume Up and Power
(We should now have a Blue Menu (Am taking it by the issues you talk about your using Clockwork Recover.......)
Go down to Apply sdcard:update.zip
And press the power button. So where now Clock Work Recovery
(If you dont have Clockwork i.e. Fake Flash Update.zip maybe someone can post it for me, Limited for time in work, But search for Fake FLash Clockwork if you dont have it.
Then go down to Wipe Date/Factory Reset
Select the only line that is Populated.
Go back to main menu and go to install Zip from SDCard and press the OJ
Select Choose Zip from SDCard.
Find you ROM and press the OJ
Wait some time and press the back button a few times, and select the reset option?
DO NOT INSTALL NO MODS OR THEMES, THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE AFTER A FULL BOOT OF A CLEAN ROM.
Leave it some time, as the first boot is always the longest.
Fingers crossed you should be OK.
What your talking about is a problem with the ROM (as the bootanimation is called by the ROM)

That'd be my guess too. If you try to apply a mod before you've let the ROM unpack itself it does exactly as you describe.

I've installed the defrost.
After it came in full working conditions i've added the defrost add-on.
Phone shuts down, starts again in the screen with the one doid and a box with an arrow out.
Some writing apears and the phone starts again.
The colours apears and making a cross and this goes faster and faster and then a screen where i have to enter my sim-unlockcode and the phone is up and running.
So far so good.
When i now switch the phone off or give it a reboot ( in the screen after a long press on the powerbutton) the phone starts in the white screen with HTC logo, then the colours apear making a cross, but after time this goes slower and slower until the cross is not ever made again.
The colours appear trying to make a cross and diappear and comming back again, and this goes on for ( i left it once for 1/2 an hour)
I will give it a go with the 5.7
thanks for the help.
Really, i heave my phone for one month now and it is my first android thing.
Never worked with linux etc etc.
What does "press the OJ" means ??
oj = optical joystick
@dave7802
thanks for the answer but i have the bootloop also when i do a manual restart without flashing anything.
i use defrost 5.7
i did a restart after flashing
bye
strange thing to happen. it must be in the ROM because it wasn't happening on the stock ROM.
so try another ROM some like cyanogen or opendesire. is it happening also?
Wel, i've come to the point that i think "WTF", it works and the only thing is the start/reboot.
I'm not going to re-re-re-re sign in to my google account, and not want to re-re-re-re-enter my mail account again.
Thanks to "olaxe" i know how to start the phone wthout taking out the battery.
anyway, everybodie, thanks for reading etc.
OK so you guys are still having the same issue.
Can we provide as much info as possible,
As i use DeFrost 5.7 and i just done a normal reboot and its working fine,
if its a problem with the ROM everyone would have the issue,
All i can think is a MOD you have installed is conflicting,
So some info you can provide:
What MODS are you running / installing, like Super Circle Battery, or Custom HAVS and SVS?
What version where they developed for?
i.e. are you installing MODS that where developed for an older version of defrost? as the frameworks change on each version and so do the HAVS and SVS
If your not flashing anything how about installing it?
It could be an app you used worked for an older version, and since the update its no longer working?

You say you have not flashed anything? and then you said you restarted after flashing? i dont follow?
What settings are you using and apps do you have installed?
What are you doing in clockwork recovery, are you wiping then installing JUST DEFROST then letting your system start up?
or
Are you flashing a couple of things like defrost and super circle battery?
Dave,
A nephew, who ownes a desire and is "into android" from the moment of the first googlephone, was going to root my desire.
The great misstake (we found out after we've dit it) was that he used a version of unrevoke witch was mend for use with amoled and i own a slcd.
So my phone would'nt show anything anymore. Only the bootscreen when pressed vol down and power.
I've followed several advises of diehards, have put "this.zip" on the sdcard, "that.zip" and even "ifthisdon'twork.zip" shoot me.
All i got in the bootscreen was "no image" "no image or wrong image" and "version is older".
After a week a guy on a dutch forum told me to download some files to my computer, take the sdcard out of the phone, connect the phone to the computer and then type the following:
3. Typ in je commandprompt:
code:
1
2
3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom210.zip
After that the phone came back to live and i was happy as a child.
After that i did the unrevoked thing with the latest version and the phone was rooted.
Put the sdcard back, formatted it whitin the phone and after that i placed the defrost 5.4 on the root of the sdcard.
Did the full wipe, dalvikwipe and flashed the defost 5.4
After a while i had the defrost up and running.
In the defrost setup i found the defrost addon.
downloaded it (all IN the phone) and after that pressed "install".
The phone shuts down a screen appears with the one droid and a box, the phone restarts and is up and running.
Then i found in the defrost setup a file "no adds"
Installed that to and then the troubles start.
Hangs in the bootscreen.
I can only start the phone when the power is completely turned of ( battery out) or with vol down, power and trackball pressed at the same time.
Hi all,
Desperately need some help to stop me geting a whack off the wife
First off the phone is an O2 branded desire with an SLCD screen.
I rooted it using the unrevoked method and installed leedroid. That all went ok
Now sometimes the phone switches itself off and the wife wants it put back to stock, no problem i said.
So i dont need a goldcard ( i think) as the phone is stll O2 branded.
I downloaded the stock O2 RUU:
RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.0
2_2_release_124865.exe...
Connected the phone to the computer via usb cable and clicked on the RUU exe and followed the onscreen instructions.
PC said everything was successful and i clicked on "finish"
Now, the screen remained black so i left it for 5 mins, still black.
I removed and re-inserted the battery and switched on, i get the vibration and tje screen still remains black
Can anyone help me out as if you knew my wife you wouldn't want to get her angry
lhiding in the bedroom at the mo
Bernie
Try the FroYo one:

Are you able to boot into the recovery menu? (volume up/down (don't remember which) + powerkey when phone is off).
If so, grab clockwordmod recovery as an update.zip, then you can launch update.zip (which will load clockworkmod) from which point you can of course flash new roms, etc etc.
If not, I think there are other threads in this forum about gaining USB/ADB access, from which you can then load clockworkmod and do the same.
Hi Sparksalot,
I cannot get into anything as the screen is just black.
When i press the power button after reinserting the battery i get the initial vibration so i presume it is doing something just that i cannot see it as the screen stays black.
I will continue to read threads but i suppose if i cannot see what the phone is doing i wil not be able to fix it
regards
Bernie
@EDDYOS,
thanks for that, will download and give it a go
Big up to eddyos yaaay
YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GET IN
Many thanks to Eddyos for posting the RUU.
Downloaded, installed and works perfect
top man

use the method MTTY to fix it, after that reflas with official rom
hey, i have tried every thing for couple of weeks, but its not working for me, as when my cell phone restarts it stucks on the welcome screen, is there any way to delelete the operating system and install it again?
Sequence for recovery is (don't execute the next step if one gets your device back to life):
Soft Reset (Reboot) - this did not help obviously as you wrote.
Hard-Reset - mind that first boot will take much longer than usual, some minutes (up to 10 - depending on the device) will pass until the device is ready again. This is because all operator and init-specific things must be executed on the device with first boot. Be patient and do not interrupt - it must finish by itself. -You may just be stuck here!
Re-Flash the right shipped ROM - mind that the device can only receive the CID matching original ROM, not just any ROM (yet). You must do that while the device is waiting in bootloader mode, otherwise the RUU may not be able to access the device.
Gold-Card Flash a close-matching ROM (so one with same languages and the right device).
Please describe in detail what you did already and what were the results of your actions.
hey thankz, but i tried everything, all the steps you written above i them them all, nothing happened,, please help me,, my fon is stuck for couple of months.. it just shows the welcome screen, nothing else.. is there is a way that i can flash the operating system and reinstall it??
waiting..
bring the device to go into bootloader mode by Hold the camera button on the right side, press the power button. The phone will enter the " bootloader " mode and you 'll see the tricolor boot screen. after that reflash the device with shipped rom can you get at ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Smartphone/Cavalier/Shipped_Complete_Updates/Dopod/
