My best advice is to STEP AWAY FROM THE DEVICE.
Flashing the radio should not have caused your issue. You can try to flash a different radio but I don't think that is it.
Do a hard reset and see if that fixes it. Don't ask how to do a hard reset, search for the directions. They are freely available.

i try to hard reset but don't work. what is next step?
Here's a question: can you access your device's SPL? To do this, pull your battery out and put it back in (to ensure it's off), and press the Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously. It should present you with a screen that is red, green, blue, and white. If it doesn't, you probably bricked your device.

If someone could help me with the following:
I tried to flash dutty's new rom, which got me an error in the update utility (cant really reproduce it).
Then I got a rainbow screen, and I tried to flash a differt hard spl.
Now my Diamond hangs in the black "TOUCH diamond" screen, with some red text about R,G,D in the bottom.
Please help me, dunno what to do.
I have the same trouble.
Is there a way to boot the phone to the color screen so i can reflash an image ?
/Edit:
I found the answer on the forum

I had to hard reset my Diamond a few days ago.
Press and hold volume down and the action key,
press and hold for a few seconds soft reset button with the stylus (while still holding volume down and action),
release soft reset button but keep the others pressed until the message appears on the screen.
Once the message appears you either press volume up to hard reset and leave internal storage intact or volume down to hard reset and clear internal storage.
If you get the timing wrong the phone will just soft reset and you will need to try again. It took me about six goes to get it right.

know what you are doing!!
Brick Alert.
People before flashing, updating radio or doing something fancy, read the tutorials, follow them step by step, if any doubt arise do some research. If not ask someone on the community.
We are all getting tired of answering these kind of question because there are a lot of how-to's and tutorials. If you just go rush flashing your device you might brick it rendering your warranty void.
So dont risk your expensive device and do some research.
Best Regards and good luck.
By the way, your device is not dead, so dont worry.
I recently tried to unlock my uncle's Diamond. I used Hard SPL1.4 from this site, and it finished that successfully. After restarting, I went through the whole screen calibration and so on, then I went to the kitchen to get some food. By the time I got back, the Diamond wouldn't start at all. I haven't tried a hard reset, but I don't think that would do me any good since the phone doesn't start up at all. Is there anything I can do? Or will I have to tell my uncle I ****ed his phone..
Just a quick detail, I did notice that after it started up again, the area next to the SIM card slot heated up quite a bit. I don't know if that's related, but I figured I'd tell you anyway.
The Hard SPL of choice is the 1.93. Any who, try and place the device into bootloader mode (tri-colour screen).
Hard Reset Your Device:
• Soft reset button and hold the vol. down + Circle button until u see the grey screen. REMEMBER THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING SAVED ON THIS ROM (i.e. contacts, calender, etc.)
Bootlaoder Mode:
• Soft reset and hold the volume down until u see the tri screen
Do you see the Hard spl 1.40? if yes, then just a hard reset and see what happens
IF none of the above worked, take out the BATTERY for a bit and try the above options all over again.
Hi, thought i would add to this thread.
Mine also did this, it worked fine for a week with Windows Revolution 6.5 rom then it randomly turned off and refuses to turn on.
Bootloader mode / hard / soft reset none work.
I have a Stock TILT 2 (TP 2) never flashed running basic programs Mobile Shell never had any issues with it, haven't installed new software in a few weeks , but I soft resetted it this morning and it keeps getting stuck in the boot screen. when first turned on it will run through boot screen then load screen for a millisecond then back to boot screen and never advances again , I've tried battery out sim card out Sd card out everything, even tried hard reset , but wont allow me to hard reset with front buttons and power, is there another way to hard reset , is it possible my phone just bricked for no reason ? thanks for any help ?
have you tried to do a hard reset via the pc? the original rom is on the htc website so you can try useing the exe file there. there is also an updated rom you can try to flash there. hope that helps
You might try sending it to the bootloader screen and reflashing. I don't know if it will work, but I thought it might be worth the effort.
I did notice that HTC removed the original shipped ROM for the Tilt2. I'm sure it is floating around here somewhere. If not, I have it and can send it to you when I get home.
Thanks I have original rom and just released wont work.
dod you see anythign on teh screen? if you do, then hard reset may fix it.
Power off your phone (or take teh battery out). Then press and hold teh call and hang up button while press teh power button. it will enter the hard reset mode. (remember hard reset will erase all the info on the phone and rever tot the stock setting).

wow, thank god i dl'd it when i dl'd the updated rom... and they still have the image of the old rom right beside it... lol
as for op, you can try to enter the bootloader with the following steps
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Hold the Volume Down button.
Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.
and try to flash from there
hope that helps again
BAD Flash when updating radios, who can I pay to fix this?
Or anyone know of a way to fix this?
It appears to be bricked
When I flashed the ATT_Radio_Rhodium_4.48.25.95, I didn't rename it to RUU_Signed
Now I get nothing when I restart the phone, just a black screen.

is your phone a gsm rhodium or does it have a cdma module too?
Both I believe
This happened to me last night. I reflashed the ROM to fix it. I used MightROM which is FRIGGIN' Awesome if you ask me
In order to do that though you need to be CID unlocked though but basically as long as you are in the bootloader/bios then you can flash the new ROM from your PC via the USB. If you need any links to that stuff I can post, but I am not quite sure if this would be part of XDA or not (Is MightROM xda? Idk? PPCGeeks??)
You can also try holding down the Call answer and Call end buttons at the same time with the power button then put your battery in. This didn't work for me though, but I had to do this anyways after I flashed the ROM so it might work.
edit: Sorry I misread. I am not sure about the Black Screen. Might work though. I was in the bootloader/tricolor to reflash. Maybe your LCD is dead or something for all I know. Sorry Mate.

oh god then you flashed a GSM radio to a CDMA worldphone (just because it has a GSM module doesn't mean you can flash a GSM carrier radio to it... nope!!)
if you plug it into the PC does the PC try to install some USB driver?

It is simple. You obviously have a CDMA device. It doesn't matter if you use it on a GSM network. Your device is and always will be a CDMA device. NEVER try to flash ANYTHING GSM on it or you run the risk of permanently bricking it.
To fix this, you will need to grad the latest ROM update from either HTC's website, or your carrier's website. Put the device into bootloader mode by holding down the power button and pressing the tiny reset button under the battery cover with your stylus. Once it boots into the tri-colored screen (bootloader), you can then run the ROM update utility that you just downloaded. This will restore everything back to stock settings and you can try again. If you have already done Hard SPL, then it will NOT be overwritten, so don't worry.
Update
I cannot get into the tri-colored screen (bootloader).
How long do I need to hold in the reset and power button?
More than 1 min?

You can't get there, because you're doing it wrong. You need to hold down the volume down button and then press the reset button once. This gets you into the bootloader.
Update
Holding down the volume down button and then pressing the reset button once, did not work for me.
How long do I hold the volume down button for?

Do you have power in the device? You need to have a battery in it. Also, the reset button might not power your device on. If your device doesn't turn on when you press the reset button, then just hold the volume down button and press the power button once instead. That ought to do it.
I have a Wildfire S someone was just looking to get rid of. I'd like to try and set this up for my son to use, but it has a lock screen code and I've no way of directly contacting the previous owner.
I'd like to know the easiest way to just wipe the phone and factory reset it so I can try it out and see if it's going to work for me. I may try rooting/ROMing later, but right now I just want to wipe all their data etc. and just get it back to a factory reset state. If the easiest way to get this thing wiped is to root it and install a ROM I'd be find with that as well. (I don't have any experience tinkering with HTC phones).
Thanks for any help. I tried searching and wasn't able to find anything and there's no stickies I could find on the subject (If I missed an obvious guide I apologize).

you can directly factory reset it.
remove battery and again install it.then hold volume down and power button.
then you can see bootloader menu,and with help of volume keys select factory reset option and press power button.it might help to reset your phone directly.

Awesome - thanks - I was trying holding down Vol Up and Vol Down + PWR which is the way it's always been with Samsung phones.
