hi folks,
seems to be that i have a BIG problem...
my t-mobile diamond had some heavy connection problems the last days (apart from this battery sucking system that made me charge it twice a day), so i decided to install both a new radio rom and a new WM rom on it.
after all those attempts didnt work (yes, i've read the threads and yes, i've followed the instructions! ), i got the ****ING IDEA to follow the instruction shown on youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGibMZC7-g (see also forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062) for a CDMA diamond. don't ask why, i thought that i could own a cdma phone as all of the gsm software didn't work... :-//
during step no. 1 (unlocking - yes, i wanted to do the whole programm! :-/ ) my diamond switched off and ... is dead now! no chance to switch it on, no chance to get into bootloader, no chance to hardreset...
now my question to the pros: do i have ANY chance to reanimate my diamond? i would be grateful for any ideas!!! thanks in advance,
p.p.
have you tried vol down and soft reset simultaneously?

yes, didnt work...
Try a hard reset. If that doesnt work see if you can enter bootloader. Instructions can be found in a search.

thanks, but as i've already written, both doesn't work. my diamond is simply... DEAD! :-(
yep looks like it
anyone ANY idea to get my diamond back to life?
my frind i think you nead a new mb so you must go to htc service
It was quite common, when people were looking desperately for SU and were using CDMA soft.. Sorry to say this, but your diamond is a brick now, and only motherboard replacement will do. there are some hardcore people on this forum who are rescuing such phones, but I'm not sure if they are still operational. Search for JTAG on teh forum, or send it to the service. If it;s on guarantee, then you should be fine, as they shouldn't be able to determine what happened. Otherwise you can always zap the phone with a stunner, and presto, phone ready for guarantee.
your phone is dead bro, i will be willing to buy it from you, i need peices to fix mine, pm me if interested
hey dude, dont worry..u're like the umpteeth guy who did it..just refer to this forum forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-488687.html..haha
I have long time ago also installed a CMDA-ROM accidentally. When the flashing procces ended I just got only the slpash screen (black without Rom Version Information).
I thought my Diamond was bricked but i could not believe it . After i had performed a hardware reset several times i used mitty and i could flash a ROM.
Now i have mostly a ROM as backup on my storage-card this in case it will go wrong during flashing procces.

it stuck's at the windows mobile scrren anda don't know what to do help me please
why anyone can help me
i dont uinderstand why my posts don't have anwser
Is this a joke?
Hmmmm....
Don't take it as an offend, but you are at the wrong forum.
I believe you have to ask the question on the right one.
This forum is for QTEK 9000.
Please feel free to look and search before you post.
If you look here it seems that the early QTEK Uni was branded as the 4040 so please dont be so quick to flame...
Anyway onto the problem. Try a hard reset and clear by pressing 0 when asked. if that fails then reflash the rom in the usual way. That should cure the problem.

sorry man i had a very bad day realy sorry how do i hard reset my qtek
No need to apologise. I have had a hell of a day myself mate.
Extract below is taken from the Universal Wiki - Perhaps you may find all of it an interesting read in
To do a hard reset (push the two menu buttons ("-") on the keyboard + the reset button at the same time (all of this three). Doing a hard reset will result in you losing all your installed apps and data so ensure you have a backup of everything first.) Everything should be fine from this time. You have to calibrate the screen and do some setting up...

Hello, i'm sorry to get this thread back up, but i'm having a problem that looks much like this.
I can power the device on, but it powers off sometimes at QTEK screen, sometimes at Windows mobile screen, and sometimes i can do the whole setup thing, and when it begins at installing extended, it powers off again! :s
I can get in bootloader, so i don't know if it's bricked or not,
The device is a QTEK 9000
Radio 1.15
the Windows Mobile 6 version of Jmwright or something like that (Latest version)
Can anyone post me a quick walktrough of what i have to do to get my device back up and running... If you suggest another ROM from another developer which doesn't have that camera buffer problem etc, because i really want to start using this device in a safe way.
Thx in advance, i really appreciate all the work done here.. Just want my problem fixed asap
Greetz,

Hey guys. I really , really , really, (can't emphasize that enough), need your help. I flashed my Vogue about a week ago with the 19588 ROM using PPC Geeks Kitchen.
I ended up having to do a warranty exchange because my volume button came a little loose. Well, I went to Flash back to the Stock Alltel ROM, the one that is on the HTC site, thats linked on this page, the one I always use, and now I'm screwed.
It makes it to 43 percent and says theres a communication error. The really weird thing is, I can flash any other ROM to the phone, just not the Alltel ROM. Below , I've listed what I've tried, so you get an Idea. I'm beggin you to help me out here.
*I started out with CokeMan 2.31 , and the 19588 Cooked PPCGeeks Kitchen ROM.
*After the first 5 failed attempt to flash the Alltel ROM, I flashed CokeMan v0.41, and then flashed Mustangs Clean ROM w/o GPS. (this is when I figured out other ROM's will work)
*I re-downloaded the Alltel ROM from HTC's website 6 times, and have tried it on three separate computers and no luck.
*I tried almost ten different ROM's , and each time tried flashing the Alltel ROM afterwords.
*I extracted the Alltel ROM to a folder. Downloaded a blank RUU folder. Copied all of the files from the alltel folder to the RUU folder. (All of the files that were in the Alltel Folder, and not in the RUU folder.) It actually flashed all the way thru, but is now stuck at the HTC screen, and says NO RADIO at the bottom. I just stopped trying, and now am turning to the PPC Gods, you guys. SO PLEASE HELP ME OUT. I have to sent the thing back by monday, or they charge me.
I've always been able to flash to the Alltel ROM from and ROM i've ever used, and never had this trouble before in my PPC life. It always just relocks the phone.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!
flash using the sd card
Sounds like you've flashed the f*** out of that phone, suprised it didn't overheat ! Anyways, try the SD method. Also, what radios have you been adding on, or originated with on the ROM you had when you first started.
Also, I'll be quite honest, if I had to return the phone for any reason and couldn't flash back, I'd probably break it to pieces and say it was run over!
how to use SD anyone? please? ive never tried
does it really matter what ROM is on there ...if your having a button problem? You obviously didn't cause the issue because of the ROM.

Whoa! Never seen this before! If you change the ROM you completely void your warranty.

1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32 (YES - FAT 32 32 32!! not just plain old FAT) (again, this is not required if your card is already fat32; it is ok to have other data on the card). I have read that the card needs to be 2gb or smaller, though I'm not sure how much truth, if any, there is to that...
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash from the exe or zip or w/e put it on the microsd card rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to VOGUIMG.NBH
3.Put the MicroSD card in your phone and Get To the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card and the procedure should begin automatically.
quoted from here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473
and also, like the champ said, what radios have you flashed?
EDIT: and, which alltel rom are you trying to flash? if you were reverting back to a non-gps/lower radio rom, you did make sure to downgrade the spl properly using these instructions here correct?

If you can't flash it, make sure to make it so it can't even start up... you need to completely brick it so it can't get to the bootloader, just not even turn on. Then you can blame HTC and get a new one

You can't be serious with this, right? The idea here is to fix it, not blame HTC, because I'm sure that would go over real smooth with the carrier.

If it's bricked and you have insurance, wrap your Touch in a damp cloth, put it in the microwave on high for 2 seconds, and voila!

Well that sounds like a horrible idea! Lol I mean if it has to be done then yeah just go to a GPS ROM and then flash back and it will brick and you can send it in if you have TEP from Sprint or something.. But first I think he wants to FIX the phone not destroy it and start over
My touch is also bricked. It boots to the Sprint logo and stops there.
What do you mean a button problem.
My Touch's green and red buttons stopped working before updating. But the phone still worked. After updating the ROM, even the phone stop working.
Could you please elaborate on this?

You have a GPS enabled ROM with a non-GPS enabled radio. Please upgrade your radio.

Ok ok.
First off, READ before flashing! If you did, this wouldn't have happened.
Next, what OS are you using? XP? Vista? Are you running it inside of a virtual machine? (like inside Mac OS X) Because that could brick your device.
Did you try unlocking your device before you flashed the ROM? You must do this before flashing to custom ROMS.
What does your bootloader screen say? What are your ROM and Radio versions?
you need to upgrade your radio 3.42.50 then reflash the ROM...
Wonder if he got it fixed?
I got my Vogue late 2008 and unlocked it and have had many different ROMs on it. Until recently, I was running NFSFAN's 6.5 v1 ROM. I *cough* got mad at my phone because it was not responding and pushed hard on the screen *cough*. Happens to everyone right ? Anyway, now the screen is all white with a bunch of lines on the left, Verizon is shipping me a new one. Problem, or not, is I told them I had no thrid-party apps on it, which I do, and I have unlocked it and put a custom ROM on it, illegal w/ Verizon right? Can I factory reset or something to get WinMo 6.1 back on it so they don't get mad if indeed they can get it working? Note the screen does not work at all.

You should be able to just put it into bootloader (by pushing power,camera, and soft reset button) and then flash your stock verizon 6.1 rom. That would erase all your apps and put it back to how it was when you bought it. Though it would still show that you have the phone unlocked with imcokeman in your bootloader..
You can't drop the phone because that would show cracks.
You can't make it wet because that's detectable.
Most people forget, this is an electronic device and there is 1 easy fix.
Put a big magnet... I mean BIG magnet next to it for about a minute or two.
No visible/obvious damage
But that sucker will definitely be wiped

To add a few things to what Barogi is saying...
You can flash back the device to WM 6.1 stock from Verizon. Flashing another rom is not illegal, but it does void the warranty since you need to hardSPL to do that. So, even if you did take it back to stock, you have the issue of relocking.... (not really an issue, but..)
Do as Barogi suggested and make sure you hard reset the device after you flashed (just in case any programs survived the flash). After you are done, simply download this and run it. That's it, problem solved...
Good luck!

Hy, i found a guy who has a bricked hero ( stucked at bootloop ) he is seling it preaty cheap and i'm wondering if maybe it can be revived. He said that u push the power buton, it starts up stays like that for like 5 seconds, than it shuts down. he also said that the problem started when he tried to upgrade it from 1.6 to 2.1 and also he mentioned that the phone was rooted before, but now wont enter in cyanogen ( havent got the time yet to read what cyanogen is).
here is a youtube video ( not his phone ) but where the phone is stuck, u can look at the second 26, there his phone reboots. what u say? can it be somehow revived? what do u sugest me? curently i own a diamond and i would love and android phone. cheers

But yeah sounds like it can be fixed.
Offer 100 for it. Say you might be able to fix it and you are taking on all the risk!
This happened to me too. But it isn't bricked, at least it wasn't for me. I don't know if it's rooted, but mine was. I took out the sdcard, booted in to recovery (the one where you flash new ROM's, dunno if it's the right name). And then I wiped, and installed a new ROM.
Hope this helps

There is no 1.6 or 2.1 on Hero.
Also, Cynaogen mod hasn't been released for Hero but for the G1.
I would make sure that you are getting what you're paying for. Buy it off ebay and make him write that he'll accept returns.
If you see the network operator logo or the HTC logo, I reckon it's not bricked. Bricked usually equals nothing, or just an error triangle or something like that (even the error triangle may indicate hope).
I reckon it may be worth a shot (can't see any youtube link to see for myself).
Back+Power is to enter fastboot FWIW. Maybe you could ask him to plug it in and see if the charging LED comes on??? That sometimes indicates it's still working.
I'll vote 'boot-loop', which isn't critical. Should be fixable by goldcard and RUU downgrade, then installation of custom ROM.

The owner of the phone presumably said that he "can't get into Cyanogen anymore". I think he meant Cyanogen's recovery image v1.4, which preceded Amon's
One should try loading a fresh recovery image - running the "Fastboot" part of the code at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
If the recovery image is corrupted, there could be issues of "access-denied" running certain "fastboot" commands, depending on method of past rooting. Even with a Goldcard. I was there.
