I flashed Hard SPL 1.34 then upgraded the radio to 25.05 then put on Bepe's 0.95 ROM
It worked for a while, then started to crash and needed to press the reset button to boot it up.
Now it won't move from the Touch Diamond startup screen when I boot it up, then turns off. Can't hard reset, and can't enter bootloader.
Any ideas? I just suddenly did this, also, it doesn't have the original vendor ROM on it so if I send it back, what's the chances of them getting into it and then saying a big FO because I messed with it?

What happens when you try to enter bootloader mode? Have you tried removing the battery for a while?
bootloader is volume down and reset yes?

Yes, korrect
diddly squat, not even any ROM id's coming up on boot screen. I think it's bricked
Hard reset is volume down + enter (round key) and red reset button. Keep down the first two until you see the reset screen

Can you be a little more descriptive? What exactly happens? Does the phone reset at all?
Did you hold volume down for a few seconds? Just pressing it while you hit the reset button is not enough. You need to hold it down until the tri-color bootloader appears. That's usually around 5 seconds.
Edit:
Clarification: You press volume down and hold it. Then you shortly push down the reset button with the stylus, while still holding the volume down button. You can release the volume down button after the tri-color screen appears. (or after 10 seconds if it's really not coming up)
Should it come up, you can use the chance to flash another ROM. If that's giving you trouble, see the link in my signature.
Ok, here's what happens
If I press the power button, it vibrates, Touch Diamond comes up, no ROM info, stays for a few seconds, disappears, phone is then off again.
Holding volume down, pressing reset button, nothing happens, phone doesn't power on, volume down held for 10 seconds, nothing happens
Holding volume down and action button, then pressing reset button, again nothing happens at all.
I successfully hard resetted the phone with the official ROM, but since installing Bepe's 0.95 I hadn't attempted a hard reset, but I had rebooted the phone successfully before this problem occured
Okay, in the off state the reset button will not function.
What you could try is turning it on and immediately afterwards follow the bootloder-procedure.
Also I did a quick search. The following threads might or might not be related and help you (I didn't read them, too late for me tonight):

I realize they're for different phones, but that might not make such a big difference in this case...
also, can you confirm that you successfully flashed hard-spl before this? as in, you manually went to bootloader and saw that it had changed to hard spl?
Try this....
might seem stupid but your phone is also acting as it would with a 99% flat battery........phone just starts then dies.......
Stupid question......put it on charge for a couple hours...you never know....it might be the problem you have
Well I came to start it up this morning after leaving it on a shelf all night with distain and it booted up fine.
So I'm going to flash the official ROM, and other stuff back to factory and send it back. there's obviously something wrong with it somewhere.
Thanks for all the help guys, let's hope my next diamond is a bit more well behaved.
phone does not boot up
Hi, i got a prob with my phone, when i power it on it gives me that display with the 4 colors(red,green,blue and white), i have tried hard reset but it does not help, can anyone assist.
hi all, I'm in a dilemma now. Bought a mytouch 3g slide from ebay, I can't get into bootloader by the VOL - and Power button. Worse is, the phone has a pattern lock and I can't get inside. I think the volume button is not working. Is there anyway I can factory reset the phone w/o using the VOL. button? Is there any method to factory reset probably using the slide-out keypad keys?
ask the seller if they know the pattern to unlock it?
I've successfully run the RUU update on the phone for 2.2.1 but when it boots up the pattern unlock is still there, why isn't it being reset?
My phone turns on but goes to a blank home screen once off the at&t screen. I cant use the blank home screen, because the touchscreen doesn't work for some reason, and when I press the sleep button, it sleeps but when I press it again, it doesn't go to the lock screen. What do I do?:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Hi, did You try to connect your phone at your computer? If works then try to make a factory reset. If not go to your phone provider and reclaim your warranty, if your phone don't have warranty try to unlock your bootloader and root your phone with jmz method (look in the original developer section) then install the recovery and flash with the totem custon firmware, just remember to S-OFF or the kernel will not install correctly and you will experiment wifi and signal issues.

Did you do anything with your phone, like flashing a ROM or kernal ? has the touchscreen worked before and now just suddenly stopped or has it always been like this? if you cannot do anything with it, a factory reset would be my best bet. if even that does not work, and you didnt flash anything custom, then i would bring it back to where you got it and ask for a refund.
IF you have a custom recovery installed, you can do a reset from there. if not -- use ADB.
If you dont have ADB set up on your computer, google a guide for how to do it. Then you can hook up your phone to your computer, and do the command for doing a facotry reset. (have to do it this way because you cannot use the touchscreen.)
ADB command for wiping data( if you need it):
adb shell
recovery --wipe_data
Hi there guys!
I have a friend who had forgotten his pattern and Gmail account on the m8 and now we can't unlock it
We've tried to make it wrong 10 hoping for a reset as I saw on some websites
And tried to enter the recovery no luck as fastboot is on
Tried adb but he never turned it on
He would do anything to unlock it
From flashing a new firmware to unlocking the bootloader anything for a working device
Actuality I am a Sony user and I am a noob Inn htc stuff
So a helping hand is needed
Bootloader is always accessible, doesn't matter if the "Fast boot" power option is on or not:
Hold power and volume up for several seconds. This will force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark (but before the white boot screen) release vol up, and start pressing vol down. Don't let go until the white bootloader screen appears.
Or you friend can just go to Gmail on a computer and retrieve their password.

Hard reset using key combo. But it will wipe the data from the phone.
Then after reflashing make a nandroid backup!
