I've installed some ROMs before. Today's one, stucked at 20%, only possibility was to reset device. And - there is problem, after reseting I've chosen (by mistake) option by which phone memory should be erased. So now I got clean Internal memory, and no diamimg.nbh on it, so I don't know how to bring diamond to life.
Any help?
jusr make a reset with vol down pressed to enter bootloader mode, connect to computer and flash any rom with diamondcustomruu+.nbh file of the rom
Will diamondcustomruu see my phone if it can be started only in BootLoader mode? I'm connecting my phone in this mode to PC, however customRRU doesen't see it (windows does - it's recognized as qualcomm) .
EDIT: As for now, only possibility i see is connecting phone to USB host : http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=490 . Any other ideas?
EDIT2: OK. I've unchecked USB connection in ActiveSync to connect mtty. Flashing right now.
EDIT3: It did work. Diamond is alive. Problem SOLVED.

Help pls i have olinex 1.40 hardspl in but my phone is stuck in bootloader with "upgrade ROM code error Please try again" i cant get out...tried hard reset nothing...tried recovery mode (volume down + reset ) nothing...cant get a usb connection help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you sure you don't have usb connection? try running an ruu with usb plugged in see if it runs. it sounds like you tried to flash a radio from another device. try flashing a new radio.

the bootloader shows usb when i plug it in and serial when i plug it out...when hard resetting it goes through the formatting but then just jumps back to bootloader with the message...active sync recognizes nothing but i'll try that right now
edit - ok it seems to be flashing i'm crossing my fingers
edit: ok it seems to have flashed i see my rogers main screen thank you soooooooooooooooo much
glad to hear!
just so you know you can always flash from bootloader. i have seen alot of people around here saying "oh no, my device is bricked and i'm stuck in bootloader". i lol.

lmao now i know..i was coming from an elfin, not used to diamond as of yet but now i know
Bootloader bottom says "serial" but wont switch to "usb"
Perhaps this is a known issue but I could not find the solution easily and ended up discovering it myself so wanted to share it in case others face the same.
I was try to use the mtty software to "clean" my touch diamond in an effort to get rid of some bugs in macadam 1.2 rom [great rom, by the way].
I had disabled the usb connections in active sync on my laptop [mac running windows xp in bootcamp]
I could enter bootloader easily but the bottom part of the multicolor screen kept saying "serial" and would not switch to "usb" when I connected the phone to the laptop.
What finally worked was ensuring that the phone was set for "activesync" rather than use as a "disk drive" or "internet sharing". I had assumed, wrongly, that once in bootloader the last selected option [disk drive] would be irrelevant.
So I exited the bootloader by pressing the reset key; connected phone to pc via cable; selected the active sync option; disconnected the phone; entered bootloader, connected the phone via cable again and the bottom of the bootloader changed to usb and I was able to use mtty successfully.
I wonder if this has implications for people stuck with bad flashes etc. In my case I could easily exit the bootloader and go back and select 'activesync' from the working phone. One could also hard reset if a working rom was on the phone...
BUT If one is stuck with the option of only the bootloader, would it matter on what the last selected option was [active sync or use as usb disk drive or internet sharing]?

This doesn't make any difference. When you're stuck in bootloader just plugin your USB and the display will state "USB" as well. You can flash a rom at this point.
I want to upgrade rom on may diamond but when conect the phone to my conputer the phone it just starts to charge. The computer does not detect him and I have activated usb conection on the phone.
I am using a standard miniusb cable used also for canon fotcamera, Nokia N95, motorola V3 (v360 L6, L7 etc.)
I did instaled Activesync on my computer but still no result.
You did no say which Win OS you are using - If Vista then you do not need activesync (AS) but windows mobile device centre or any other Win OS Before Vista then AS is what you need. AS needs to be installed before you connect your phone to the PC.
Have you restarted your PC first before install - this also helps sometimes
Try this....
Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC and here ....uncheck the box Enable advanced network functionality
Just a reminder to please use the Internal Method when flashing a new Rom or Radio. Do not rely on your PC as errors occur more frequently.

I did uncheck that box but without any results so now I will try internal method. But I'll have to send the file to the phone via bluetooth and see if it works.

How much is it supose to take "Internal method"?
After pressing Vol_Down + Back button it showed the three color screen then it changed to a white screen with loading on it and it stays like that (after pressing Vol_Down + Back button I didn't press nothing else).
The Internal Method shouldn't take you any longer then 2 min. or so.
Once you have started the flashing to begin in the Grey menu....it will eventually say OK...OK
and yes
at this stage you soft reset and press vol down and centre round button.
Grey menu then gives you a choice to reset back to manufactures settings which is what you want (vol UP)......this should take an additions 2 min. if that.

I have tried everything that you said and nothing.
The only diference is that now when I conect the cable to the phone it asks me witch mode to conect it (Activesync or storage), but the computer still doesn't see's it.
Tried another USB-cable?

I tried with 3 diferent cables.
Have you tried putting your device into bootload mode (soft reset & vol. down) and the connecting to your pc. The bottom of your coloured screen should switch from serial to usb....If this switches to USB then you are good to go with downloading what ever Rom using the RUU_
Keep me posted...

It doesn't switch's to usb it only shows "serial". If I put it into bootmode while it is conected to USB it shows nothing, not "USB" or "Serial" it's blank.
I am begining to belive that there is a hardware problem in my phone.
Do you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
Hi,
My brother's SGH-T989D phone (Koodo / Telus) crashed during an android update. Now, the phone boots to a black screen with the taskbar on top. There is no menu screen anymore. No apps at all. Doing a factory reset via the recovery mode does not change anything.
My PC does not detect the phone. Therefore, I am unable to install a new ROM with Odin. Here are all the infos I have :
1. The phone boots, but there is absolutely nothing except the task bar (I can toggle the wifi and bluetooth on and off, thats it...). There phone says preparing SD storage upon booting. There are no SD card and SIM card.
2. The phone is able to go into recovery and download modes.
3. My PC does not detect the phone. I know the Samsung drivers, Odin v3.07 and USB cable are working properly because I am able to connect my own phone which is also a SGH-T989D.
4. In recovery mode, there is a dead android with a red triangle with an "!" in the background.
5. It used to have the stock gingerbread Koodo ROM, and was probably updated over the air to the newest ICS from Koodo.
6. The phone was never rooted or messed with. I don't think it was ever connected to a computer before.
7. It is not under warranty anymore.
I've spent hours trying to get it recognized by the computer. I've tried putting the ROM on the SD card and applying the update via external storage in recovery mode. I get a message about Signature verification failure.
I've tried cleaning the micro-usb slot. Blowing in it resulted in the computer saying "Unknown device malfunctioned" a single time, which leads me to believe it only did that because some saliva created a short somewhere in there. The connections look clean.
I'm about to throw this phone off the building. What is wrong with it?
**EDIT**
Forgot to mention...the phone does charge when connected to the usb cable.

IDK if this will help you. IF the phone isn't rooted or a custom recovery installed I don't believe you can reinstall the ROM. It does say 'signature verification error' so you might be able to turn off MD5 checking before install. It will be in the settings menu if TWRP is used. I don't believe its an option to do if on stock recovery.
Hi
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, flashtool version 0.6.9.1
Here is my device info before the tragedy D:
ROM : Gin2JB (i forget the version)
Kernel : Lupus kernel (again forget the version)
I don't know what happen but my phone won't turned on D: when i press the power button it's vibrating, it even can go to the flashmode and fastboot mode, but it just wont show anything on screen D: is it my screen or what?
i already try to turn it on and wait for a while, so the phone can load and I try to call my own number but i can't, it's not connected D:
i think it's a little strange because it's happening when i'm reading a Visual Novel via VNDS, then i decided to take a break, and put the screen off by pressing the power button, then i try to turn it on again, usually when i try to turn on the screen again, it's lagging a little and the screen turned on normally , but the this time only the sound playing and *pop* the phone turned off completely! and then i try to turn on the phone but it won't D: i pull out the battery and turn it on again, and still it won't turned on D:
I even try to flash a .ftf file R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic.ftf (Here is the MD5 in case i flash a broken .ftf MD5 : 317FCA41566A2FE8331B670087DB015F)
after flashing i try to turn it on again but no luck D:
And if i try to pull out the battery and turn it on like normal and wait for a while (So if it's really the screen problem maybe it's load up to normal state) then try to plug it to the computer (Note : The memory card is not detected), the flashtool log show like this :
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
INFO - Device disconnected <--- I'm not unpluging my phone but it's disconnected automatically! and windows keep installing a new driver for MTP USB Device! right after the install for new driver fail, the "Device disconnected" message show up then it's connected automatically again and then it's doing same thing again and again D:
So any suggestion or idea what happen to my phone? D: is it really the screen? or the software? or anything else maybe??? if you need more info regarding my problem i'll be happy to tell you
sorry if my English is baaad :silly: not my mother tongue~~~

Ok, as i understand it, you used to have gin2JB rom with Lupus kernel when you got black screen, then you flashed stock firmware.
Stock firmware don't have usb debbuging enabled by default and that is why you are getting "Device connected with USB debugging off"
You could try to update flashtool to see will that solve device disconnection problem.
Also, try different usb cable and even different usb port at motherboard (including back ports)
PC companion should work even with USB debugging disabled. If he recognize devise normaly, it is most likely hardware error. And maybe it's even flex slider cable fault (because it's weakest part of xPlay)
You try to open and close gamepad (and even some middle positions, when it's not even open or closed) when powering on. If you see screen working even for few seconds, then it's most likely damaged flex.
Ofcourse, maybe screen is dead, but chanse for that is lower (but not impossible)
Hi
Thanks for the reply, now i'm positive it's an hardware failure D: because i try to flash LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full.img, and turn it on, and wait for a while, and *boom* pc companion detect my phone, well i don't know i should be happy or not D: (i'm still hoping it's a software failure though )
well i think the screen is dead, i try the "middle position" method but it wont work D:
well now any suggestion how to fix it?
I have another question though how can i use my android as modem (tethering) without configuring anything via phone (because it's half dead now), any info would be nice
As for flex cable, check out this thread from CriGiu about similar problem (to lazy to type it again ). It is not hard but you need special screwdriver
As for tethering, things can be little tricky. You need only to select tethering options in menu I know, with black screen it can be tricky
There is a way to see what is in phone but it is also... tricky
There is program for PC that can show what is on screen of phone, but it needs usb debugging enabled. Stock firmware don't have it enabled but most of custom roms have it. You "only" need to flash custom rom
Without working screen, it can be hard to install custom rom from recovery, but not impossible. I have an idea, you can try it if you want:
-download file in attachment and unpack it in some folder in PC
-download some recent GB or ICS custom rom frox XDA (for Play, ofcorse)
-make folder named "A1" on sdcard and place your rom into that folder (i guess you still can do that, most probably with pc companion if sd card is not mounted already)
-flash lupus ics/gb v7 kernel (skip if it's already flashed)
-power on phone in fastboot mode (or stay in it if you just flashed kernel)
-from unpacked folder double-click on file named "start.bat". It will erase all system and data on phone (but not sd card)
-disconnect and power on phone
-now, since it's lupus kernel, and since system is erased, it will boot directly to cwm recovery
-wait about 30sec or minute to make sure it is in recovery (since you can't see anything, we are guessing here)
-press menu button once (that should select "install zip" from recovery menu)
-press home button 4 (four) times (or maybe 5 or 6 , just in case ). Luckily, it will flash rom from first folder in sdcard (and that's why name "A1" for folder - use capital letter, it does matter)
-wait 5 minutes for rom to be flashed (just in case) and reboot (battery off/on)
-wait 10minutes rom to boot (maybe less, depends on rom)
-from attachment folder start file named "droidAtScreen-1.0.1.cmd" on pc (i do hope you have java installed on pc)
-if all goess well, you should see on PC screenshots of phone
-use dpad buttons to navigate to tethering options (and make sure to disable lockscreen - in case touchscreen is not working). If your touchscreen is working, it's flex cable 99% faulty :fingers-crossed:
If it doesn't work, you can flash stock firmware back so you can use pc companion
As i said, tricky, but not impossible :laugh:
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
Hi, I flashed my Nokia X with wrong zip from recovery. I think the phone is dead, when I connect the device to my linux pc, it's detected as partitions, there are many files in there of recovery, system,... and even my internal storage is detected (on windows nothing is detected). So when I plug the device in to my USB, the phone juste vibrates then nothing appear. Same thing when I remove battery then click power button. I hope anyone here can help me! Thank you for your support I really need my device back!
