Help needed, diamond bricked? broke? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi there,
A while ago my diamond started doing weird like the screen going blanc/grey and other stuff..
Now it won't even boot! Sometimes it goes on but just to the black screen with diamond on it,
after that it jumps off,
I can't get it in the bootloader or anything!
Hope someone can help me out

have you tried to change rom? it can be the driver's rom problems..

hey dude try mtty and then flash a new rom .............i too bricked my phone today morning and its working perfect now

I cant get it into the bootloader..
the damn thing just doesn't boot
any idea how to get it into bootloader somehow?

Well, i contacted HTC and they said i could send it to them and they would repair it.
And probably at no costs 'cause i still have warranty!
Thanx anyway guys!

i don't think they will replace a modded SPL
try mtty always works

I think they wil repair your device but it will cost you money because you have a modded SPL.
Your warranty is not valid anymore.

Yeah, that could be!
But i couldn't do a damn thing with it so this is for the better i guess..
and it worked before for me, they repaired my titan at no costs when i bricked it

Help!!!!!! I've Brick My Diamond!!!

Tried to run a sim unlock on my diamond after a reboot it will not turn on. can anyone help?
You get into boatloader?
No, it is dead it just wont turn on. i know the battery if fully charge as i only got it today?
It's really not full charged from factory
Didn't you charge it full before you started flashing?
i meant to stay i had it full charge all day, before i tried. ive try hard resetting it soft reset, taking out the battery nothing seems to be working

what do you mean by sim unlocking ? tell us wich tools wich exe you run and why and when it resulted on a dead phone. a simunlock will not make your device turn off and unable to boot it again. where u got this file from ?????
please be more precize
Try to send it to RMA, warranty issue.
If you've got no warranty .... there might be soon a solution for jtagging / repairing it, but it will need good soldering experience and additional hardware.

P.S.: No matter what "unlock" he tried, new devices have improved security, so current hard spl or oemsbl hack might not work due to newer hardware or better protection
The one i use was a link from this forum, its call Diamond Unlock.

this is this where i got it

If you've flashed the CDMA unlocker and you've got a GSM device, say goodbye
Try RMA or wait for JTAG solution.

1) if you got the CDMA hardspl... I made that one, and I *EXPLICITLY* mention in my post there that it WILL brick a GSM diamond. I guess people just will never learn to read

2) that is nothing to do with SIM unlock either. if you need that, get it from http://diamond.htc-unlocks.com/
3) interesting note... apparently just running the CDMA SSPL will already brick GSM diamonds, because I saw another case, where it was confirmed the RUU didn't even get to flash, and we know of course that it cannot because of the different modelid. so, just by running that exe it kills the GSM diamonds, maybe I'll integrate some check in the hardspl program to check diamond model before loading SSPL. but until then, people had better read more carefully.
that's an expensive paperweight ^^
well it could be used for more than paperweight... if RMA is not an option, viperbjk needs a bricked diamond for JTAG experiments.
lol ^^
donations accepted... money or phones!
i'll send it back as Dead on arrival... down to the supplier to sort it out
lolll, this is funny no doubt! Maybe this needs to be a sticky! An example of searching, reading and comprehending fully before doing any type of hacking to your phone!
Any news?
Has a solution been found for idiots like me that have managed to brick there Diamond?
hello,
I'm also looking for a solution. i can't turn the phone on, i tried hard reset, or taking the battery off....nothing worked.
It's not your fault cmonex.. Indeed, he just didn't read.

Please help me?

I bought a used HTC s630 from ebay. The guy said that it would freeze at the loading screen. When i got it i did a hard reset using the 2 softkeys and power button. Worked for a while, then when i went to use it again and turned it on it goes to the homescreen but i cant do anything. When i press any keys the keyboard lights up but thats all.when i plug in the charger the battery icon on the screen shows that its charging but thats the only change. Im thinking that if i flash the shipped rom again itll fix it, but i cant seem to find it anywhere? any ideas please????
try upgrading the rom? Maybe that would help?
If you go to xda Wiki there is a Dopod C730 rom there.
Also, Curzz has cooked a bunch of awesome WM6.1 roms, you can try loading that.
to do that i need to do the hard spl so i can load diff roms other than htc's, and to do that i need to app unlock[ it which requires it to be connected through active sync. i tried loading others but i get error codes like 290 which is incalid vendor id. the only solution that i can see right now is to flash the shipped rom though the bootloader. does anyone have the shipped htc WM6 rom?
I have an original HTC S630 (Branded HTC) with original WM 6 rom, but I dunno how to copy my rom on to the computer, if you can tell me how to do it, I'll be happy to do it for you
OMG thank you so much. AND YOUR EGYPTION!! Salam Alakum, Im egyption as well. I will look in to see how to dump a rom. If anyone else knows the help would be appreciated.
THis is the link that cruzz provided when he was trying to get a copy of all the roms.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowToDumpOSManually
I have tried that procedure before and it did not work.
Have you tried going to the agent in Cairo, JoviTronics? You could ask them to re-install the rom again.
Did you buy your phone from Vodafone?
I actually live in america. I bought the phone used from ebay. I just called htc and they say its still under warranty, but i want to try and fix it myself before sending to them. maybe cruzz has a copy of the rom?
what error did u get when u tried extracting the rom?
did u get this
D:\_ROM>pdocread.exe -l
Copying D:\_ROM\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?
try restarting your device, or restart ActiveSync

pls make sure that u have unlock ur dev
modify this registry key, and then softreset using power button:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies
valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1
dword: any thing other than 1 disallows unsigned
dword: 1 allows unsigned

Not sure .... u can do a hard spl? if can u can try use mtty to check if the os has bad sector. U can get the link on how tos at the sticky thread "for newbie...."
regards
thing is i cant do hardspl without app unlock which needs activesync. thats why im tryin to find the htc shipped rom
so it turns out that the phone i bought off of ebay for 30 dollars was broken, but lucky me it was still under warranty. i sent it to htc for repair and they replaced the entire board for me free!! waiting for it to be delivered, then ill pull the htc wm6.0 rom off of it for u guys.

HELP !!! Diamond died !

I've tried to install a SSPL and HardSPL to my Diamond with the instructions of
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839
Before flashing, my Diamond died !
Power OFF OFF, no soft reset, no hard reset, no bootloader mode, no charging battery.
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is your diamond CDMA or GSM?
My guess is you flashed the CDMA SPL on a GSM diamond.
Say Amen.

My warranty is valid or not ?
Can HTC assistance suppose that I've installed HardSPL ? The Diamond doesn't power ON !
If you have to insert a sim card: it's GSM, if not: it's CMDA
To come back to your problem: if you can't boot into the bootloader: there is currently no way to restore.
You at least have to have a working bootloader to be able to restore the phone.
The only way restoring a non-booting device would be by using JTAG test points, which to my knowdge aren't released yet for the diamond.
Sorry for the bad news,

If the device doesn't boot into bootloader, it's not possible to read the SPL, so there is no way (apart from jtag) to determine that the device had HARD SPL.
To my knowledge, HTC's RMA III doesn't use JTAG at all (this is only done in the factory).
They replace mainboards when there s a corrupt bootloader (as in your case).
(if this falls under waranty I realy don't know, there are different reports sometimes they do it under waranty, sometimes they don't..)

JTAG is a complicated way of directly connecting the cpu of your device to a pc.
You can search the forum or HTC hermes or HTC universal JTAG to see how it's done.
However, it's difficult, dangerous etc..
You have to know your electronics!
You are better of if you'd send the device in for waranty.
Send it in for warranty, if it's repaired: GOOD if it's not: but at least u tried.
If u flashed anything not-official (official=downloadable from htc e-club) then your phone has voided warranty, but maybe they don't notice.

Only warranty. You haven't flashed any rom or something else. Just say that it stopped working yesterday, when you was playing music and it stopped. Do not tell that you've played with hspl !!!!

VERY BIG PROBLEM! Need help as soon as possible!

HI,
I did a very stupid thing with my diamond ... something was wrong with the device from the beginning, I used to get a 262 error then updating ROM. I tried everything, but nothing worked. then I decided to try the CDMA hardspl, unfortunately... that was a big mistake... .
Now I cant turn on the device at all . So I am wondering if it's possible to fix my diamond now, or should I go to warranty service directly?

Yeah, if the device can't even turn on and get to bootloader mode, then return it for service right away.

Forum user alejandrissimo knows how to fix most of the brick issues. Ii used him to unlock my bootloader and he was great. I would look him up. Oh his website is http://unlock-bootloader.com/ maybe you can send the email form to ask him about how to fix it? Other than that I'm not too sure.
