Phone Bricked? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi guys,
Just flashed a new version of EnergyROM. After flashing, the device is stuck in the screen "please wait while your device is being setup blablalbal".
The problem right now is, i cannot connect through active sync with my pc, so i'm not able to flash a stock Rom for instance over this rom. I have already done hard resets etc, nothing helps.
The only option is to flash a new ROM over this one, but i have to do it over active sync i guess, but i cannot connect
HELP

I had to find out the hard way how to use MTTY, almost bricked someone elses device... but got it back thanks to MTTY.
It's not as hard as it looks. Had to use it on my own device now too (flashed to many different ROMS), and all worked out well.
If you ever have any problems again, pm if you want...i'm dutch.

Here's what you need to do:
Hold down the "Volume Down" button and press reset with the stylus. You will enter the Boot Loader. Now plug in your USB cable connecting it to you PC. On the bottom part of the screen (phone) you'll see USB. Now your PC recognizes the phone.
Start a ROM update through the RUU executable and flash your phone with a different ROM.

I think not. Don't know if you have a lot of apps installed after flashing. What you could do is find a ROM that's UC2/sUC compliant. If you create a folder structure on your internal storage like this:
ROOT > Backup and Restore > CAB > CABi
Put all the cabs you want on your device in the CAB folder and all the cabs you want on internal storage in CABi folder. After flashin and initial customization you will find yourself in User Customization (UC). It will state that it found a CAB folder, choose to install. After this it will state that it found a CABi folder, install as well. This reduces the effort of installing all apps after a hard-reset. As for messages, contacts e.g. I suggest you use PPCPimBackup.

Try flashing through bootloader. Press reset with stylus while holding volume down. After you're in the bootloader plugin USB cable and start flashing.

tried and didnt work. made it worst in fact :S
startet update trough bootloader, started, updated to 13% and then I was told the update didnt work with my device (or something similar, in norwegian). tried an older update, same problem... :/
when I now boot the phone I'm directly in bootloader, and with the funny message
DIAM100 65M
SPL-2.03.0000
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
I might have my hand on a brick... but hope not...
edit:
ooh, news, suddenly its updating moore... after 5 tries it allways stopped at 13%, but now it up to 31% and going strong... will update..
edit2: going strong up to 33%....... wow... well its a start and Im going to try some more.
edit3; 7th time the charm it seems... 100% and all I had to do was sit REALLY still. and I actually downgraded from 2.03 to 1.93 or something... should note that on this point I have tried flashing it with the original 2.03 and 1.93 every other time...
edit4; aaaaand we're back at the TOUCH Diamond screen.
edit5; aaaand after a failed flash to wm 6.5 (stopped/didnt start at 0%)... the phone started... This MIGHT be a clue that I should NOT try to get wm6.5 to run... but that wont stop me
I dont know if anyone else will have the same problems, but atleast this was my way to the resolution

Before you try to flash anything other then a stock ROM, I suggest you take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
You need to have Hard-SPL flashed before flashing any custom ROM. My advice would be to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705
cool, will try that one. thnx

Did you hold the volume down button while pressing reset? After pressing reset you should keep holding the volume down button until the tri-color bootscreen appears.

Help... *Sigh*

I've been hacking dash' for a long time now... my friend gave me his phone to hack...
Thought it was easy...
I mustv'e messed something up... now every time i boot my device up it gets stuck on the screen with three colors... red, green and blue one
i have try hard resseting it - two soft keys power button...
i have tried leaving the battery out... no good
any help would be greatly appreciated
the tri color screen is the bootloader. you need to use that to flash back to a stock rom, then try to flash again.
because I am stuck on this screen my phone will not connect to the computer and sync... what should I do?

Turn the damn thing off.
Press and hold in the camera button.
After 10 secs or so, plug in your USB cable.
You can now install an Official, (from your provider), ROM available at a Sticky near you.
Once an official ROM is back on, you can continue with your evil plans.
You have to use an OFFICIAL ROM first.
thanks for that help... i did as i was told, advance to a white screen where it said "checking sd contents" still not being able to connect to my computer via activesync so i can run the original factory rom
Remove your SD card prior to flashing. It's really a very simple process man, so if it's not working for you, you're making a rather minor mistake. Just follow the information in the stickies. You may even find a video on Youtube of someone flashing from the bootloader. Oh, and if you'd read the stickies, you'd know that you don't need to connect via activesync when in bootloader mode. The PC should automatically connect and install whatever driver it needs to communicate with your phone so you can flash.

Bricked Beyond Repair?

right now my dash, when powered on, will just display a white screen.. when doing a hard-reset...nothing happens, when trying to do to the bootloader thing,the tri-color thing doesnt show but the computer does detect the dash...so i tried an update to stock...and it said that instalation was successful,alltho it was not

Phone always boots to bootloader

Hi guys,
Can anyone help me here ?
When I try to start up my Phone, it always loads the bootloader ...
I tried running reflashing a rom and task29, but no help there :s
Does anyone have an idea what to try ?
Tnx

Just to ask: You're not (accidentally) holding down the volume key when you press the power key (or reset) to turn on, are you? That puts it into bootloader.

No, I'm not doing that
I thought maybe it got stuck though, something like that :s but when I do press it, I hear a pretty clear "click", so I guess it's not broken at all...
Also, I noticed that when I try to reflash a ROM, the "current image" (or whatever it's called) is blank ...
(I mean the thing that sais the version number of the currently installed rom)
Okay, sounds dumb I know, but did you flash a new rom after flashing Task29?
It is used to wipe the OS out completely BUT you then have to re-install a new OS...
Just thought I'd ask.....
Same issues.
Same issues on my touch pro 2.
The only solution i find in order to make it boot is with mtty on a Windows xp pc with no activesync.
Perform a
set 14 0
task 8
then the phone boot on the os but on the next reset stay in bootloader !

Some news from my Rhodium Stuck in bootloader
I have try to Hardspl it (Olinex 0.85)
The good news is i have manage to do it, the bad news is after that even the
set 14 0
don't manage to make it boot.
After a while searching, (thanks wiki of another phone) i have find those command :
password BsaD5SeoA
set 14 0 # Maybe it's usless now but in fact i don't know
set 1 0
task 8
And now i'm back to my start....
I tried using the MTTY commands, and when I did it the first time, the phone booted and performed its "first run setup" thing.
After rebooting though, it went back to the tricolor screen, and I can't get past it anymore, even with the same MTTY commands ...
Any other ideas ? :/
mtty, a lot of post on the internet...
hi,
I think we are a the same point !
I have find a way to start a boot with the HTC screen but the phone tel me that a txt file is missing on the sd card ???!!!???
with mtty :
boot
yes it's quite simple why i haven't think of that befor i don't know... but that didn't solve my problem at all.
I have send a mail to HTC in order to have a diferent point of view but all they said to me is doing a hard reset (who didn't do anything...)
I will post the avancement of my test but i feel a little stuck.
Note : After searchin on the internet, the set 14 0 tel to the phone to boot on the os after a flash (sometime the phone don't reconize the end of flash)
the set 16 0 (or set 16 1) disable (or enable) the RUUNBH tag on boot loader.
More Infos...
I have find a post on a other forum whos said that a defective battery could result to an unstable beaviour of the phone.
I have let it without battery for a day and, today it has directly boot on the OS.
I have ordered a battery on ebay and waiting for it maybe the solution ?

Oke, I will try to take out the battery tomorrow as well ... Although, I tried using a different battery and it didn't help ...
Right now, I managed to boot using mtty set 14 0 > task 8, which seems to work
(sometimes, I need to do the task 8 twice in a row ...)
So as of now, I managed to flash a stock rom onto the phone, and only have to try and reset hardspl back to stock as well.
Waranty here I come ...
lol mine is out of waranty, and it's the solution i ve find everywhere !
did you try hard reset by holding the call and hang up button together when you power up the phone.
last time I remove a program and tha cause me to boot ot a black screen after teh bootloader. Hard reset fix the issue as it return teh phone to the sotck setting of the rom.

TP2 Flashed with wrong HSPL,what can i do :(

hello guys,
after a long research i landed to this forum at last.
today morning i had a client who wanted to have new rom on his tp2 with russian language. but unfortunatly i flashed the tp2 with a wrong flasher! first time hapening something like this... i was pretty sleepy that i didnt even recognised that it was the wrong one... and now the client wants his phone back but the phone dosnt even turn on and not going in the boot menu... only when i plug the usb cable to the pc with the tp2, the pc recognises that there is a usb connected.. but only this.. im really stuck in a bad situation i would be very appreciative if someone can help me with this out the client will come tomorrow again, i hope there is some options to get the tp2 back alive
Try to flash back with stock, but depending on what you've flashed, it might very well be bricked.
This is why you should always be careful as to pay attention to what you are flashing.
Did you apply the wrong hSPL, or the wrong ROM? Did you flash something meant for a CDMA device on a GSM device...? Please, explain exactly what you have done.
Firstly thank you very much for your answer. I apply the wrong hSPL. HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone i used, the hSPL from blackstone >.< ..my device is htc touch pro 2 Sprint . It much be CDMA but with Gsm radio as far i know. actually the progress didnt start.. there were not a loading bar and no boot mode on phone screen (green-blue-red). suddenly phone turned off and red service light turned on.now when i connect it to pc,i hear usb connected sound and the pc reads the phone as ''qualcomm cdma tecnologies msm'' and requests driver for it.
Does anyone have a clue if there is a solution or what i can do ? or even if there is no way to fix it, except with Jtag ? :S

You flashed a RHOD with hSPL for BLAC. That's pretty blatant mistake dude.
I'm not sure if there's a way back. Try flashing stock like I already suggested. Try relocking too, I don't know.
You might have to go into mtty, erase everything, flash the radio, then flash stock. Next time, be more careful.
I would flash it back to stock but the problem is that i need to get activesync with the phone.. my pc dosnt connect to the phone with activesync because i cant open the phone :S do you think with mtty it could work mate ? im gonna search for that now.. thanks

HardSpl doesn't show a progress bar when flashed. Can you manually put the phone in bootloader mode (Press volume down button and power it up)?
If you can get it into bootloader what does it show on the screen? You may be able to flash the shipped rom after you are in bootloader if when you connect to your PC it says USB toward the bottom of the bootloader screen and then click on the exe for the shipped rom on your PC. Or maybe try flashing the re-locker as suggested earlier to see if you can install the correct SPL.
i cant get bootloader mode(volum-,power up).im gonna try flash via sd if no succes then gonna try relocker ...i'll post result..

If you flashed the wrong HSPL then you have bricked the device. There is no recovery outside of a jtag box. I don't know of anyone who has made one of those fora Rhodium anyway. It sounds like you owe your client some money.
By the way, if you can't get into the bootloader, then you can't flash via SD.
