Hi,
I have my Diamond over a year and all was great till one day, suddenly it can't load the OS.
After power on, the black screen with "TOUCH Diamond" appear,
then it shows the radio version in red at the right bottom of the screen and from there nothing happen.
I tried to flash several ROMs & Radios, including the original ROM from HTC site but nothing.
The process of flashing seems to be fine and in fill all the 100% bar,
then it restart like during regular ROM flashing procedure but still no boot.
I tried to flash other hard-spl and still nothing.
I'm really lost and I hope someone has an idea for a solution.
Thanks
sorry if it's not the right place for this topic,
I also put it on general Diamond post so this one can be deleted.

Sorry to open a new thread, but I want to ask is there any method to fix this problem apart from using Mitty?
I tried flashing LVSW 3-26 firmware using SPL 1.06 or the 1.1x, both gave me the end results of white screen.
I am newbie to Mitty and worry of bricking my device with Mitty.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to cast the white screen away?
Desperately in need of help.
Thanks
I see by the sorry for a new thread you have read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299644
I am with you. Right now I would go to a different version. The previous LSVW or another build. I am trying the mtty thing but I am running vista and cannot get NBHextract to work.
If you do not want to risk it maybe holding off a day and checking back for an update. These guys are fast. Also like I said go to a different version. I flashed the revious LSVW os only and it worked 3 times in a row perfect
When you say white screen what do you mean?? You get a white screen and the device doesnt boot?? or the device has a white today screen?
people
for black 1.3 i will release two versions
one with SPL and OS (with RUU 3.6)
and
one with only OS using standard RUU (assuming you already have HardSPL)
this will give u an option

The White Screen for me is i can see the HTC Flash screen, but the Windows Mobile screen becomes white without me even seeing it and the Today screen is also white also.
Also, i was wondering if using Hard-SPL might help?
Thanks
nope i am using hard spl and tried it still white screen
Me too....
I also got the white screen of death. lol.
i used the version that was posed on the main page. After the update and initial boot the white screen comes on.
I was able to bypass this after several resets. Then it will start the customisation process. After which it will restart and go to a white today screen with no icons. I do have the task bars at top and bottom but no dialer.
My fix. I went and dl RUU_HER_6.20.100.0_0.00.00.00_XDA_WWE_XBOW_Custom. I installed it and works like it did before.
I will wait till there is a fix for this...
BTW I have a cingular 8525
I WANT TO OFER YOU GUYS SOMTHING

After hours and sleepless night, and so many flashes i think the NAND in my dopod was hot enough to fry a breaky for me, i've come to the comclusion, i have 100%, no issue success with all ROMS, using 1.01MFG and MTTY flashing each part seperatly. Not one time has a white screen appeared, with ANY rom, and i've tested all the current WM6 roms.
I d/l'd and tried the latest LVSW rom (26/3) and have exactly the same issue when using the packaged RUU to install it. However, when i use MTTY, its perfect every time.
I would suggest the following steps
1. Load into the bootloader mode (HOLD POWER/OK buttons and press soft reset)
2. Flash SPL-1.01MFG onto your device (Read wiki info and file links here)
3. Once flashed, reboot and do step one again to get back into boot mode. You should now see your boot as 1.01MFG
4. Use NBHextract to extract 06_OS.nb file from RUU_signed.nbh file found in downloaded rom package.
5. Load up MTTY, follow steps in the wiki for the 1.01MFG on how to flash OS.nb (OS.nb is the 06_OS.nb file renamed to make it easier)
6. Once flash is complete, the latest rom is installed and you won't have a white screen
7. Now flash Hard SPL v4 onto your devic for safety reasons.
And this fix is EASY to do, 100% works every time.

It worked 100% for me first time.
Just for the record I used ROMbaker to get the 06_os.nb then just rename it to os.nb.
Also if you are not sure and feel nervous about bricking it, then just wait for a proper fix.
Finally I got the white screen a few times and everytime I flashed the previous LSVW os only the device worked perfect. From my reading Olipro may have found the problem haveing to do with bad blocks. Nothing major but I believe they are working on it currently.
If you follow these directions and install 1.01MFG, you can BRICK YOUR DEVICE with ANY mistake!
We're not talking about a brick that can be fixed either. You precious phone will become a paper-weight forever more! Really.
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE N00BS ON HERE SAY; FLASHING 1.01MFG IS **NOT** A RECOMMENDED WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! DO NOT INSTALL 1.01MFG UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH THE CHANCE THAT YOUR PHONE WILL BE BROKEN FOREVER!!

Just go back to a previous version of WM6.
It only takes several minutes to put back XDA- Live.

I tried going back to WM5 firmware.
Flashing the firmware is a success but I still got the white-screen-of-death.
Any other options?

SPL-1.35.Olipro will be released shortly; this should address the issue of the whitescreen error, all those having problems under 1.30 should no longer encounter it if they were able to flash fine with old SPL's

Hi All,
Sorry N00b alert at this .. but very IT literate
Just a quick question off the cuff, what was the last(est) version (can you provide a link) that i can flash to now .. (not mucking around seperating stuff etc) that wont give me the white screen issue.
I am currently sitting on LSVW 25/3 1.38.10 radio and 1.13oli
Thanx test

mmm you mean u flashed da original splash screen instead of HTC and then it worked fine?
If you have hard spl (looks like you have) then try flashing from the SD card. (If nothing else has worked - read all the guides/threads)
Just save the nbh as HERMIMG.nbh (make sure you have not created HERMIMG.nbh.nbh) in the root directory of your SD card, and then hold the power and OK buttons on each side of the phone, whilst pushing the stylus in the reset slot.
Hold it in for a mo.
Sometimes take a few goes.
It should come up with a loading grey screen.
It will give details of the nbh it has found (ie mine only said OS), and says something like push the power button to update.
Thank God for Hard spl.
Did this for the first time yesterday after apparently badly cooking a rom. Got stuck on HTC screen not bootloader, but this sorted me out.
Big relief.
ooohh , big relief man that was hectic moments i ended up flashing shcaps 3.57a ROM because his 3.54b ROM doesn't have spalsh screen included. but there is one question remains unsolved for me and that is why i got error during flashing only splash screen??? could it be splash screen file was corrupt?
im happy my baby is alive again
I'd more like to know how to make a musicial start tone with the splash screen. example HTC's offical rom has a nice animated splash with a musical tone. I've looked at the templates and examples and there's plenty of easy to understand aspects of a still splashscreen but can't seem to find anything that shows how to craete an animated with music splash screen like HTC's
any idea's?
Hello, Please Help
I,m an E-pat living in spain and got a new HTC Touch through my servise provider (Movistar), Of course it came with Spanish Windows Mobile, and I needed it in English, so I decided to flash it with an English-language ROM
Touch_Dual_WWE_2.01_2.20.707.1B_03.07.90 after i had sim and cid unlocked it first
Unfortunately I was not aware until it was too late that there are multiple different Touch models, and I obviously flashed an incompatible ROM . At first everything looked good, then I noticed that the phone rebooted every three minutes, and finally, having been switched off, it no longer will switch on. The orange led comes on for a few seconds, then disappears; a soft or hard reset produces the Movistar logo screen, then it switches off again.
I can put it into the bootloader tricolor screen by holding the camera button for a while; and i get the USB words appering in the bottom left of the screen, but i cannot activate activesycn to try and load a correct Rom. I have tried to load 3 elf Rom,s through the RUU without success.
Is there some way i can flash a WWE Rom or have i bricked my new phone ?
This is the origonal Rom
Rom version 2.20.621.1.esp
Radio 03.07.90
protocol 4.1.13.51
Ext 2.20.621.101
Devise 010050
Htc 304
Thanks Zomac
have you tried looking for the answer here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374
you may have to try flashing the original spanish rom if you can find it
On an athena the phone is not bricked if you can get into the tricolor bootloader,
but to flash a lot of roms the phone must be have another SPL loaded.
if you search the forum there are usually many people who have made the same mistake as you previously.
You can also use the search button to get your answer quicker , but there is a sticky that talks about a possible solution near the top of the quoted page
Hi, I seem to have bricked my Universal. Apologies, I did search the forum & wiki etc., I wouldn't say I'm an expert but I've upgraded/downgraded ROM & radio many times before
First I tried to flash with the rDosti, otherwise known as Tomal's - v7.7: WM6.1 Pro
The flashing process went OK, but then after I hard reset the operator splash screen comes up - the T-Mobile screen - and the version is listed as 2. THING xx, like it should. However, my device remains frozen at this screen.
I hadn't upgraded to Bootloader 1.01, it was 1.00 like the documentation in the thread said, so I did this and reflashed again, same thing.
Then I tried flashing with the T-Mobile official WM5 in desperation - the same thing happens, the text on the splash says it's WM5 but it freezes here.
Then I reflashed the bootloader and WM6 several times again with the same results.
Can anybody help me with this pretty please? Thanks for any help!
try original1.....search in de forum.....

2days ago i got this problem .but now i recover my divice with '' mtty for remove all botloder imege . then updat with new rom.
first u have to know is ur divice G3/G4. then u flash with rom file
Hi, thnx for replies, but im afraid you misunderstood me somewhat.
The *upgrade* process appears to work, ie. Bootloader seems to work fine, the device freezes at the first *operator* screen*, where it shows OS & radio version - the t-mobile screen, NOT the bootloader.
I tried the "Exit_bootloader" app (=mtty?) with no success.
An
do 1thin u update another rom...make sure dat ur fone is g3/g4..then update. coz if u update the wrong rom dis wl happen...
Thanx. I own 3 universal & I upgraded another with the same ROM & it worked no probs. So problem is not with the ROM.
The device with the freeze is G3.
mamaich method
Step by Step :
get the tools at attachment , as mamaich told, you have to use it in bootloader mode , (Power + Light Bulb + Reset)
1. Stop Activesync USB connection
2. Uni : Reboot Bootloader then Connect USB
3. PC : Run mtty1.42.exe
4. Choose USB in "Port" (Reconnect if can't find/reconglize USB and try remove sim and sd card)
5. type : task 28 55aa
6. Press Enter
7. Cause DOC reformatted, so there's no rom in DOC ,try reflash any rom that you like .
For task 28 55aa in mtty success , will show the message (attachment )
DONE .
Thanks satanisme.
I had the same problem, I have had a good look around but yours is the best description of how to get out of the splash screen.

Any idea what need to be changed?
Thank you for your suggestions.
