I started this thread for my dumbass because I didn't want to clutter up all the other threads that were trying to give real information.
I've even bothered a few of the more knowledgeable people on the forum but I'm sure they have better things to do than explain something they've probably explained a bizzilion times...
Okay, here's what I've got.
My Diamond has 1.37 ROM on it... the last one available directly from HTC.
I've read so freakin' much on here, my head is spinning. My understanding is with each new cooked ROM, you need an spl.
I downloaded two copies of ROM's. One is 1.93 from HTC Europe. I thought if this was a factory ROM, I wouldn't need to install an spl because it would be built in. I get an incompatible message.
I then d/l'd Dutty's new 1.93 cooked ROM. (version 1.3)
Before I tried to install it, I d/l'd 1.24 SPL.
This is where I get fcuked up apparently. Here's what I did....
-I made a folder on the desktop.
-I downloaded 1.24 and extracted the files to the folder I just made.
-I connected my phone and established communication.
-I doubleclicked on "diamond-sspl.bat" file so it would install the spl new spl
-A windows ms-prompt box comes up and you space-bar down through the prompts.
-On the Diamond's screen, a "continue" dialog box comes up. When I click on it, the screen goes black. (phone shuts off)
I disconnect the USB cable, pull the battery and start the phone up.
I guess this is where I'm lost... doesn't this mean I'm ready to install the new ROM? If I hold the volume button down and reboot the phone, it shows version 1.37 spl.
Like I said, I didn't want to clutter up useful threads, for newbies such as myself, it seems the more you read, the more complicated it becomes (when in reality it isn't)
Can someone please clue me in to my stupidity. I know you all answered these questions before but I am literally SICK of reading. I spent 3 hours last night and 7 hours today messing with this. I really do have a life but this phone has me messed up.
Just for the record, I tried the other spl (1.23 and 1.34, etc, etc) to no avail.
Help?
Thanks so much,
Mark

The black screen doesn't mean the phone shuts off, don't disconnect it and let the process continue.

Okay, the "black screen" has been on since I responded to your post. The lights on the phone are off, am I missing something?
I don't think the phone is doing anything, I think it's off.

How are dfar are you with the hardspl flashing, can u soft reset and connect to activesync, if yes just re-do the process, black screen like what pof said its a part of the process, just run the ruu application and beging flashing thehardspl,
Anyone else?
When I click on continue on the screen, am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

When you have the black screen, start the RUU and flash HardSPL... that's it.

When the screen turns black (which has been off for about 5 minutes now), I can do a soft reset.
Okay, so now I go into the folder I created on my desktop and doubleclick on what? The RUU 1.000.00.00 file or the your 1.3 version upgrade?
In either case, when I do, the tri-color screen comes on for a second and the screen goes to gray with a progress bar sitting on 0%.
(FWIW, when the tricolor bar comes up, it shows 1.37 as the spl) I thought the whole reason I double clicked on the .bat file was to install the 1.24 spl.
?
Thanks,
Mark

After doing a soft reset, correct?
Cause if so, read above post.

I did the RUU install with the screen black and it shows it was successful. I'm SO embarassed.
Okay, so all I've done at this point is install 1.24 spl. Now I can install 1.93, correct?
Geesh, what a moron.

I can't thank you guys enough. I'm honestly terribly embarassed that I kept trying to do a soft reset after running the .bat file.
I just wanted to say THANKS for everyone's patience for us with limited knowledge. I'm sure I'll have more questions later...lol.
Thanks again,

Yes, go for it. Connect via activesync and run the DiamondRUU you extracted from the 1.93 download, the rest is automatic.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I just flashed my Vogue (Sprint) using the Sticky "[GUIDE]How to Flash your Vogue..." and now I can't get past the HTC Mobility screen. I searched the forums here for some help and everything suggested centers around being able to actually get the computer to recognize the Vogue again. I tried the bootloader mode and I get the RGB screen with:
VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.31.CoKe
CPLD-3
I've tried reflashing, but again, my computer makes the "ding-dong" like the hardware is there, but it doesn't actually connect and the utility doesn't recognize is.
Any ideas? I'm stuck.
Crap! I put this in the wrong area. Feel free to move to Q&A thread.
Put you Vogue in bootloader plug in the usb it should say usb at the bottom now you can flash away. I would recommend first to run your carriers shipped ROM "newest with a GPS radio is best" Then you should be able to flash a custom ROM.
Oke I flashed my TP2 , and the flashing had one problems that was the first time I run the flashing rom(energie) it stop on the tri-color screen, and the flashing stopt there so I ran the same flashing rom again wile the TP2 showed the tri-color and it continued the flashing process so I thought every thing is a oké.
Then the phone did it first boot on the new rom and it stopt at the rom loading screen so right a way I knew somthing is not a oké. I tried flashing with sd, hard reset, mutty, 1 minute battery out the phone. I will give these option another go if you tell me how to do it with this phone.:
So kan somebody help me with this problem.
TP2 Info :
I bought the phone in The Nederlands
I don't know the rest of the specs
SORRY

Go into bootloader, plugin your usb, run task 29. Then when you are finisht, go back into bootloader, plug in your usb. Then flash the rom again true your pc.

The Tri Color screen is the bootloader. When connected to the computer it should say "USB" at the bottom. Otherwise it says "Serial".
EDIT: What version is your SPL? The unlocked version is 85.

Then go into the bootloader. Plugin your usb and flash using your pc. Just run the customruu.exe.
Or you can try flashing from your sd card. your choise
Thanks for helping guys, I have fix the phone. I did not now that I could enter bootloader with VolDown + power button, thanks to that I could fix the phone by flashing the phone with a rom.
Let me see if I can explain.
I was running Opendesire 4.0.15 (had been rooted using Revoked on a Mac).
I had modified the recovery using Revoked using amon-ra's ps3 image so I have no proper recovery.
I notices using OD Updater that OD 4.0.16 was available, downloaded that and let it flash it itself.
Now the phone doesn't boot properly, I get the O2 splash screen then what looks like a dark grey screen with very thin vertical coloured bands then back to O2 splash.
It occasionally show the Android screen but not much else.
Once it got to the setup screen with the Touch Android to begin picture and the animated finger. However there was a FC on screen and the touchscreen didn't work, so I couldn't progress.
I can get into fast boot and even the modified recovery but I can't see what to do to get a rom onto it or get it to boot up so I can re revoke it for a proper recovery.
It seems if I leave it long enough it gets to the setup screen but no touch screen working. Then it re-boots.
Can anyone suggest how to get a proper recovery file on at least??
Any help gratefully received.
Edit
From Hboot I can see
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.83.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.10.05.17_2
Jun 10 2010,12.12.05
So it's an SLCD then?
Please help I can't afford another phone.
Thank you.
I can see the device from fastboot, (fastboot devices lists it by it's serial number)
is there any way for get either a new rom or even just recovery onto it from this commandline?
Anyone?
Please
this is what I get, any clues?
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash system od.zip
sending 'system' (65463 KB)... OKAY [ 11.219s]
writing 'system'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 20.547s
RUU see's it, (when I have it in bootloader) but when it runs through and reboots the phone, the phone sticks on an H T C screen and the pc is counting looking for bootloader but never sees it.
OK, got the HTC screen, unplugged USB, plugged it back in, ran RUU again, started uploading, green bar moving across screen, then it rebooted, waiting for bootloader, RUU then failed, black screen on phone now, no bootloader, no splashscreen nothing.
It vibrates if I hold power button, it doesn't if I hold back button or VOL down with power button.
Now it's dead.

what RUU did you flash it with?
sounds like you flashed it with a pre slcd screen RUU
the only O2 one I could find on here
RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865.exe
Now I can still get bootloader / fastboot working, I see it in my device manager and the fastboot command sees it again, is there anything I can do from there?
(damn thing is only 3 weeks old).
Thanks for reply btw
Managed to get a newer Froyo RUU to run to the same stage as I had before so now got a display back , hBoot 093 still for the borked recovery
is there anything I can do other than send it back to HTC?
thanks for reading, really really stuck here.
with files on sd card (pb999.img etc) it now checks those then says CID incorrect
where is it getting stuck now?
is this a branded device? (if unbranded was it branded before)
what did you flash it with?
Is your gold card present?
what os are you using to flash it?
Have you tried using the downgrade utility to flash it back to a version of 2.1? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Hello again )
ok it now just goes to the white screen with the 3 androids skateboarding I have have hboot or fastboot, I don't know the significance of those.
if I select recovery it goes to amonra's poc-psfreedom so I can't even reflash it from there
it was originally an O2 UK phone so has the O2 bubbles on screen
I don't have a gold card :i(
I run a mac but I have installed xp on bootcamp to try to resolve this.
I can see the phone is device manager as Android USB Device - My HTC
It boots to the white screen now when I plug in the usb cable
it had been running happily on OpenDesire 4.0.15 with no problem, but when I called the updater to bring it to 4.0.16 it turned into this mess.
the downgrade utility requires a gold card doesn't it? I don't have one (
edit - more info
the RUU file I have tried again is
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
it tells me it will go from image version 1.20.207.3
to image version 2.14.207.1
it starts and brings a black screen onto the phone with HTC on it, starts working then fails with erroe 171 usb connection error. (perhaps I need a different usb driver installed?)
edit again - if I unplug the usb cable I get the white screen but only RUU but pull battery and get fastboot hboot back
Hold the press
I think I've recovered it now.
Using that RUU, everytime it stalled out and said waiting for bootloader I tapped the power button and it continued, flashed the whole thing now I seem to have an official O2 Froyo!
Thanks for your input mate.
i dont know how you uninstall that psfreedom stuff, people should just buy the dongle and not risk bricking their mobile phones.
Try intalling the latest version of htc sync or use a pure windows pc rather than bootcamp see if that rectifies it.
its not hard to create a goldcard if you have a microsd slot, I do recommend you make one using the tool from modaco. and try using the downgrader. it could be that the psnation tool is conflicting the the bootloader now its .93
EDIT: was on a call mid type and posted this while you have replied.
Glad its sorted
It's sorted now, thank you.
Dongle is in the post mate.
I really appreciate your input there, I was feeling kinda lonely!
Now it's on what appears to be O2 official Froyo, means no root, DOH!
Cheers fella.
you can use the downgrader tool to downgrade hboot and firware.
then you can root and flash a rooted 2.2 405 rom like the one teppic made
it would then be on the latest 2.2 for EU and be rooted with a compatible hboot
im on hboot 93, im waiting for unrevoked. they seem to be taking an age
You are a genius, I'll have a play tonight.
Thanks mate. - SUPERSTAR -

Hi lininjim ,
I have the same issue as you mention. i get to hboo screen and nothing works beyond that. how did you get your phone to recognize with RUU. coz mine just stays in htc logo and RUU does not recognize it at all...

1. Posting in a thread that's one year old is not very useful.
2. Look in troubleshooting guide.
Sorry to say it worked exactly as I posted mate and I got rid of the Android phones back in March.
Sorry I can't help.
Okay, I tought i just could RUU my phone using RUU file. So I downloaded RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe and booted to fastbood mode -> connected USB -> ran RUU. Anyways, all wen fine and the gray HTC logo appeared on my screen but after few seconds the RUU gave me "Bootloader version error [140]". After that my phone is just dead. It wont turn on or anything, I cant get ADB to my phone. Screen is totally black. The phone just randomly vibrates when i plug it in the charger or press the power button after taking the battery out. But its just random. The charging led indicator wont even turn on.
I Had few weeks old XJ's MIUI installed, CWM 4.X.X.X and hboot 6.93.9999 (if i remember right, 6.93.XXXX it was anyways). After failing the RUU, I googled and found out that i shuold have downgraded hboot first? I recently bought a new phone so actually just didnt give s*** Im having proximity sensor problem in my old Desire, so I would like to return it to the shop after flashing the default rom.
So folks, how do I proceed? Totally bricked?
Thanks!

sounds like wrong RUU file meant for SLCD/Amoled.
try the first post in Q&A which should deal with this...it's a sticky for a reason
It looks like slcd brick look for droidzone slcd brick guide
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Thanks, but as I already said, the phone cant be detected by PC. The phone wont even turn on. I tried again starting the phone to fastboot mode, but the phone wont even vibrate or show any signs of life. The only thing is that when i randomly plug the phone to the charger, it might vibrate and start warming up.
And yes, I've tried charging the phone over night assuming the battery would be empty.

so holding down back and power to get straight to fastboot doesn't work at all? i'm only referencing the troubleshooting guide
droidzone's slcd brick guide is more comprehensive, if that doesn't work then i dunno unfortunately...
Whoa, got some life to my phone! Started it somehow with usb plugged and vol down and i got it to recoverymode! ADB Devices gives me following:
List of devices attached
HT07XPL06736 recovery
Dont want to boot the phone again, what do i do now? tried running a RUU for SLCD spotted in the sticky thread here, but it gives me 170 USB error.
EDIT:
So I'm in this situation now? (taken from droidzone's guide)
"IF YOU SOFT BRICKED AN SLCD BRANDED DESIRE WHICH HAD AN UPDATED VERSION OF HBOOT BY FLASHING AN INCOMPATIBLE RUU, AND IF THE DISPLAY WONT TURN ON NOW, YOU CANNOT RESTORE THE PHONE TO WORKING CONDITION UNLESS YOU HAVE A CORRECT RUU FOR THE UPDATED HBOOT, OR A GOLDCARD. "
