How to flash if activesync won't work - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

I can't get my Diamond to talk to activesync on two machines (one of which it used to be fine with). Given that, is it possible to flash it? What's the procedure?

look in my sig

...
enter bootloader and plugin to pc. and pray it got detected as mobile device in device manager. if it does, run ruu.
if not, here's a work around.... turn on phone. go to setting > connection > usb to pc > and change to connect as storage device.
plugin to pc and copy .nbh file of your choice to internal storage (rename .nbh file to diamimg.nbh) (which will be most likely detected as a usb drive)
use stylus and reset phone. hold vol down and back button.... you'll be in bootloader and soon a screen will pop up "triggering movinand bla bla bla..."
press power button to start flashing. when done, use stylus to reset again, now press vol down and circle.
hard reset device > press vol up to continue.
wait for device to self customize.
by the way, this might not work.

Brilliant - updating it now. Thanks guys

Power Button Issues

After i updated my ROM with 6.1 my power button doesn't seem to work anymore, also when i attempt to use the the "Restart" option under programs i receive an alert that say "Can't find 'Reboot' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are corret that all the required libraries are available." this means that the only way that i can turn off or reboot my phone is by taking out the battery. I am a complete noob so any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated... the simpler the better!
Just hold the camera button down and then plug the usb plug in and then try flashing it with the original Tmobile Rom here is the site for it. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?z4vjgzxisrz
I was a bit confused but i tried holding down the Camera button and then plugging in the USB but nothing, i even tried the original comm button and plugging in but nothing. This might be a stupid question but how do i flash the phone. I extract the file on my PC but i dont know where to place the RUU_signed.nbh file or how to run it, i also try to extract on my phone but it always tells me that there is not enough storage space.

Before flashing a new ROM to your phone, make sure these two things are done:
1) Backup your files to your PC via ActiveSync, Sprite Backup, or some other similar program.
2) Hard reset your device. This clears your storage out and makes the flashing process a bit snappier. (Start -> Accessories -> Clear Storage -> enter "1234")
If the ROM is an "official" ROM (meaning if it is created by T-Mobile or HTC) you should be able to run it by double-clicking the ROM's icon. Make sure your device is connected to ActiveSync when you do this. Just follow the prompts and it should run smoothly.
Would i have to flash my ROM again to gain access to the side panel button?
Would i have to flash the phone again in order to gain access to the powe button on the side?? Anyone else have this problem?

Diamond not conecting

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?

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

Neeed DOCTOR for my HTC

Hello All,
My HTC Diamond Handset serial no is HT826K******* Tryed to change the ROM , but after reaching to 100% also the completed mesage is not coming . When I press the reset button Tri colour screen appears with error messgae " Upgrade ROM code error Please try Again".. . Please help
You probably don`t have the correct update package for your device... If you really want to update to this rom then you need the HardSPL. Install the HardSPL 1.93 Unsigned Developer edition.
do you have Hard-SPL?
I Recently updated through ROMUpdateUtility know i see touch diamond screen with RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition ...Please help
just flash another ROM while in bootloader and connected to usb. I would suggest to use a simply rom.
Hi,
But How , I am not able to copy the file to Internal memory as when I connect to laptop the the internal memory is not visible:
you don't need to put the nbh file in internal storage. Turn your device off. Press and hold the volume down button. While doing so press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button pressed until you see the multi colored screen which is called the bootloader. At the bottom it should say Serial. Using the USB cable with which you sync to your PC, plug the cable in to your PC and then plug the other end into your device.
The multi colored screen should soon say USB at the bottom of the screen. You are now ready to flash a new ROM. Just run the RUU as you would normally.
I did that; know I got the tri colour scree ;which says USB in white area know how to run RUU , my htc is connected to my laptop
create a folder on your pc and name it anything. now copy the nbh ans ruu.exe in that folder. run the ruu by double clicking it. this should be done when you get usb on your screen, if done correctly you rom flash should start flashing and a bar will appear on your phone.
Thanks All
Hi All,
Problem got fixed .
Solution used:-

ROM upgrade failed !!!

Hi everybody,
I look through the threads and I couldn't find a solution to my troubles. So here it is: I just bought a htc touch pro 2 which came with a window mobile 6.1. Before I transferred anything from my old phone, I thought better to do the official upgrade to 6.5 ROM version 1.86.401.0.
I wanted to flash the ROM through a USB cable as described on the HTC site, but after after having done 22% of the work, everything got stuck. And 5' minutes afterward the update windows on the PC disappeared and I had to disconnect the phone!!!
So now I have a beatiful telephone, which cannot boot up. Indeed, it gets stuck in the 4 colors bootloader.
i) I tried to do a factory reset (pressing power, send hang up buttons) to no avail.
ii) I tried to take out the batteries and pull them in again, then switching on the phone holding down the vol down + power up buttons, then reset.
iii) reconnecting the phone back to the PC by usb, I was never able to get a switch from "serial" to "usb"
Nothing is working, if anybody has an idea what I could try next.... I am wondering if it is possible to flash the phone from the SD card. I am really a newbie here.
Thanks
Max
Yea .. same thing happened to me ..
Check Here For Full Info: Click Here
*Go into BootLoader Mode (do a Soft Reset while holding the "volume down" key on the left side of the device. Keep holding the "volume down" key until you see tricolour screen which is the bootloader mode, then release it)
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
Good Luck ! Worked For me !
Thanks for your help and the link to the thread!! I will use your approach next time. Indeed, in the day afterwards I was able to finally flash the phone from the same PC. I did the manipulation, which failed miserably, with a 64 bit Windows 7 RC. Then, I realised I had another version of W7 on the same PC, a 32 bit version this time. Thus, when I tried it with my dying telephone, the "serial" message on its screen switched "magically" to "usb" and I finally could flash the damned mobile! Frankly, I don't know what's wrong with my 64bit W7 if anything.
Cheers

Did you try the stock rom from HTC loaded over the usb first?
Information about what unlocker you tried to use, what kind of phone you have, what kind of rom you tried to load would be helpful.

My kaiser bricked?

I think my kaiser is bricked somehow. I left it sitting on my charger and came back and it was frozen and now when I turn it on nothing happens except the green light comes on. I can sometimes by messing around with the power plug and battery get it back into android but I cannot even bring up my bootloader anymore. I have no idea if its bricked or whats wrong with it.
Please define messing arround with power plug and battery . Did you try another battery? Battery contacts, miniusb contacts...worst case, something is burned inside. Camera+power+reset doesn't work?
Also, check what was your wife doing before you came back
lol she would never do anything to my phone. By playing with the power plug I mean just plugging it in and taking it out and what not. It's really hard to define it, I would just say ****ing with it lol.
I've come to the conclusion that the radio in my tilt died. Why must my phones always die from a dead radio =( android still works but I can't get into the bootloader anymore and I can't flash a new kernel or even reinstall. Will be nice to see how long this lasts lmao
Can you dump your kaiser to see what is left in our rom?
Follow this procedure to dump your kaiser:
First you have to install QPST (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OW3ERRNB)
1. Turn on kaiser , now you enter the OEMSBL. You will see nothing on your phone!
2. Your computer will ask drivers for a device if you didn't installed the MotoQ drivers before. Point it to the extracted drivers!
3. If QPST is installed on your computer, disable the com port in the QPST Configurator.
4. Launch mtty and select your com port that is listed as Qualcomm Dignostic Interface 6000 (Comx) in the device manager.
5. Type "h" <Return>
6. if you got any output continue to 7 else pull out the battery, reinsert it and restart at 1
7. type "radata 90000000 1" : Your kaiser is now in loading mode.
8. Close mtty
9. launch the QPST configurator and add the comport and ENABLE it.
10. remove the usb cable of the phone, and reinsert it.
11. your phone must now be listed as Q/QCP-xxx (download)
12. Launch the "QPST Memory Debug" tool to dump smi.bin and ebi.bin
13. Click on browse to select the right com port
14. Click on "Get Regions"
15. Click on "saveto..." to save the files to a directory
16. Zip the files and send it to me.

Would be nice if my kaiser was detecting still... It's weird. It's almost like it has no boot loader but yet it will still sorta boot android.
If the Green led comes on, you are in the OEMSBL. Does your computer asks for drivers when you connect your kaiser to your computer? Ifso, you need the MotoQ drivers (found in this forum) to connect your kaiser OEMSBL to your computer. Then you can use MTTY to talk with it. (if you type something you will not see any output. Only after presing enter/return.
If you need help, let me know.
I've used mtty before. The green led DOES come on but it does not detet at all on my computer. It is not asking for any drivers. When I plug it in nothing happens
then it goes further then the oemsbl.
If it boots Android, it must pass the SPL, so did you try to hold the camera button and then turn on your device? If the SPL tricolor shows, then you can flash. (in theory)

I've tried to get into the tricolor screen but it is not working with camera + Power and battery insert or on Camera+power+soft reset. I used to have an HTC screen I added display before the kernel loaded. Now the first thing I see is my loading screen for android around a minute or so later only when it's plugged into power.
That's strange. And what is happening when you press the green phone key and powerup? (OEMSBL boot) keep pressing the green button for 5 secs If the green led comes on. Then connect your phone to your computer. Does it appear in the windows device manager?
Does not detect in device manager at all, not even as an unknown device. It's as if nothing was plugged in
If it is not listed as a serial port device. (ports Com & LPT)
then it is not in the OEMSBL. Is your device Security unlocked? If not this can explain why it doesn't enter the OEMSBL with the green button.
Did you also try to put an upgrade file (KAISIMG.NBH) on your root of the SD card?
Maybe this will get launched when your device is turned on?

I'll try that out as i've always flashed via usb. Also it is Security unlocked and it is SIM unlocked too.
Nope that did not do a thing. I took a WM rom nbh renamed it to KAISIMG and set it on the root of the SD and it did nothing.
Oh yes, you are right.
in order to load the KAISIMG.NBH, you have to enter the SPL.
hold Camera button and power on. wait 2 secs and unpress the camera button. Then wait for 1 minute, and press the power button again (Power button = start flashing, action key = cancel).
just tried that and still nothing out of my phone
massivekid, i have very similar problem, but my phone turned on.
I dont can turn on bootloader , i try very much metods and any working.
my phone always turn on Smart Mobility i can't change android kernel/back to the windows
few times i tun my pda on blinking yellow led, but computer no see the device
but it still boots into android?
then a jumpspl for android would cure it ;-)
Can you try this one?:
- Remove USB cable/cradle
- Remove battery and re-insert it
- Hold Camera and insert the USB cable.
What do you see now?
The reason why i ask this, is that you have told me that it boots android when you insert the power/usb cable and you see output after 1 min or so when booting android. This behaviour was added to android to let the battery charge...
So the poweron procedure difference from when you press the power button, or when you let the kaiser charge...
