Trouble with HardSPL/Flashing - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hey all! Sorry, I am sure that the answer to this question is in the forum somewhere, but I've been looking for weeks, and can't seems to find an answer that works~
I've got a Diamond from ATT and I can't see to get anything to flash onto it! I have tried HardSPL 1.23,1.24,1.34,1.40 OliNex, using the RUU, and by loading the device into the bootloader manually, and flashing from SD card, from USB, using the Diamond-sspl.exe, etc. I get one of three results: "Loading...", "0%", black screen, or nothing at all. I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong!
Everyone else seems to have luck just using a different HardSPL version.
IUf it isn't already obvious, I am pretty new at this. Can some please point me in a better direction? I am just spinning my wheels!

If you have an SD card slot in it, then i'm pretty sure it's not a Diamond...

Wow!!! I guess I wan't Kidding when I said that I was new at this. So as it turns out, my device is actually a Fuze, which I already knew, I just couldn't seem to find where on this forum the Fuze was located. As it turns out, it was quite simply listed under "Fuze". Thanks for your patience. Hopefully this helps out some other n00b, as well.

If your device has sd card and look like our Diamond - that mean your is Touch Pro - aka Fuze.

You have to use the SD Flashing method in order to import the new rom, there's several posts How-to concerning this matter otherwise if you want you can cook a rom from this website, it contains some helpful links

Updating question

Hi,
Today I'm trying to update my T-Mob Vario 2. I want to put a new ROM on it. Anyway, I read it's better to upgrade using an SD card instead of using USB.
I don't know if the updating process really succeeded. When the bootloader says: "Update complete". What do I have to do? A soft reset? Or what?
I tried to install Hard SPL v7 and I want to check if it's really installed. What's the best way to check this?
Thanks!
(and yes, I've read the FAQ/Wiki)

if you read the wiki you would know how to SPL on your hermes go back and read some more!
Ah, mrvanx's guide didn't work for the last 2 hours but it's working right now. I'll read some more over there.
But my real question was: What do you do when your device says: "Update complete". A soft-reset?
it will soft reset itself and u'll get the "tap screen to start" screen...
you can check yr spl by going into bootloader mode (hold the power and OK button below the scroll wheel and poke the stylus into the soft-reset hole and hold it there for a while).. to exit just poke yr stylus into the hole again..
that didn't sound quite right hahaha!

yup. it should auto SR, but if it doesn't, help it along
Nice!
I needed an hour of 5 to read some stuff and to unlock my device, make it Hard SPL and put Black 3 on it
(Yeah, for the first time )
Thanks XDA Community!
does anyone actually see a big difference between the roms as we keep flashing, i've flashed like 8 or so roms, and the only things i see different are from wm5 to wm6.....
just seeing how every1 else feels towards it and whether i should keep playing w/ it over and over...
btw... does anyone know why my wm6 always goes to the today screen after i wake it up again? it's not the today timeout option under settings.... so yeah... i thought a registry edit may have something to do it
I always upgrade from SD (seem faster than USB) and it never auto-softresets, so I manually do it with stylus. Never had problems.

No Connection with official AT&T WM6 Rom

After many flashings of roms, I finally flashed back to the official AT&T WM6 rom located at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334771
My phone, even with my new sim card doesn't pick up any reception at all. All I get is the two arrows with the "x" and that other weird symbol with the exclamation point next to it.
I have a tilt and when I pop my sim inside, it works perfectly, no hiccups what so ever.
I live here in Hawaii and we just recently turned on the 3G network and I'm not sure if it affects my 8525.
Any ideas on what may be wrong? I had used Black Majiks WM6 on my 8525 previously but this past Monday I had issues with it so I tried flashing a bunch of times and still no fix.
I've searched through the threads for the last 2 days and everything I've tried so far hasn't work and I'm really desperate and need input from more professional users. PLEASE!!!
More information regarding phone problem.
When I try hit the green phone button, it doesn't do anything. Also going to phone settings under the settings menu, and it doesn't go there! Don't know why, I try to click it and nothing. Other icons work, not that one though.
This is getting ever more frustrating and I'm still searching through the thread for possible solutions, but nothing. Someone out there has to have some clue as to what may be wrong!
Found out another thing that might be of importance.
When I reset my device, soft or just turning it off and on, I get a "No GSM" on the AT&T screen.
Man, I've even gone as far as visiting Mr. Vanx's site to downgrade everything back to WM5. I still get the "No GSM" on my startup screen and no connection!
WTF?????????????
Well if you can get to the boot loader try flashing the official rom from HTC's Site for your phone. I'm not saying the one you DLe'd from here was bad but maybe it's just not the right one for your phone for some reason.
http://www.america.htc.com/
Well not to say the ROM you DL'ed from here was bad or anything but if you can get to the bootloader flash the officially released ROM from http://www.america.htc.com/ for your phone and see if that fixes your problem. Maybe the ROM you got from here is just not the right one for your phone or something. Worh a try anyway as you can't really use it as is.

You know, the weird thing is that I tried to download stuff from the American HTC site, and I can only max out at 10.0kbps and I can NEVER get the whole file, only 15% maybe.
Talk about running into one problem after the other.
Is there a mirror out there somewhere?

Ok thanks for the uploads. Got the file. I just want to make sure if I should upgrade to Hard-SPL V7 before I use the update the rom?
I went all the way back to Herm SPL 1.06 and Cingular WM5. Don't want to brick the phone so wanted confirmation before I do anything else. Can't afford for things to get more messed up.

Well I like using Hard-SPL V7 especially for the cooked roms as it gives you a bit of safety, but the rom I uploaded here is the Official HTC America / ATT Rom so you can follow their flash instructions for it. I even successfully flashed this ROM from VISTA 64 bit with no problem to my Herm 100.
As with any Flashing their is always a risk if something should go wrong that you will have a brick but your already near that point as you can't do anything with the phone at this point anyway.
GL & let us know how you make out.

I give up! I give up! Aarrrggghhh!!!!!

Here's my phone info:

I've tried for several days to hack, install, flash, jailbreak, etc.

I've researched this sight until wee hours in the morning all this week - nothing helps...
Suggestions...comments...please, at least no bashing me...I waited several days to post this as I have done my research but I'm just too tired of looking and can't figure it out...
All I want to do is freakin' put a new rom on my phone...I like NRGZ28's roms and I've put the stupid Hard SPL Olinix or whatnot on my phone.
But beyond that I've read every manual and text file but it just won't work...
also...
what other rom's are out there that i can try???
You may complain what you want, but when you give us that little info, how do you expect us to help you?

You should post this in the NRG ROM thread, or even better the "Flashing ROM for NOOBs", you will get more support there. Also, list your current ROM. If you have hard SPL then all you need to do is download the NRG ROM, extract it from the 7-zip archive, and put both the files in a folder. Connect your phone via activesync, and then execute the custom RRU exe program. I have flashed several times.
You don't say what errors you are getting - people need as much information as possible.
@ Lennyz1988
thanks but the page you sent me would be one of those text files, explanations, etc that I already read a million times and isn't specific enough for me
one of the main problems is that when documents explain unzipping, unraring, etc, MOST (not always) of the time they never state specifically to where it must be unzipped/unrarred: to the computer desktop? a specific folder in the phone's memory? the sd card?
however, i did hard spl my phone, when i enter bootloader mode it does show the olinix thing on it, so is this the rom number i need to list?? does it have anything to do with rom?
@ stevedebi, isn't the rom number i listed the one that's needed? what other info is needed as i don't think there is anymore info i can get off my phone that i didn't list, but being a noob please explain away so i can get this straight
*~*~*~*~ wait, i think u mean this...it has the 6.5 rom that it came with when i bought it...is that what you're looking for??

With the HARD SPL you now can use custom roms because youre TP2 is not Vendor locked anymore ;-)
But he is not SIM unlocked
ok...

no offense...but what does this mean?
For example, I go to NRGZ28's ROM page. I've already hard spl-ed my phone. Check.
Next, I unzip (just 5minutes ago) the 7z file that comes with the customruu.exe and try to set it up on my phone. Fail.
The attachment is what I see every time without fail. No progress beyond this point...help?
THANKS - PROBLEM SOLVED ON THE FLASHING ROM PAGE!!! THANKS A MILLION TO STEVIEWEVIE!!!!

Since you took the time to post your problem on THIS forum, please respond with WHAT you actually did to fix your issue. It is kinda not cool to get everyone to help you, then when you solve your issue, just say problem solved and not say what you did. No offense, not bashing you, just let everyone else know what worked to fix your issue.

PROBLEM SOLVED! SOLUTION BELOW:
i guess i never actually extracted the folder like i thought i had already done - PLUS i also moved to a separate folder to keep it apart from ALL other rom's i was trying to flash

[Q] Another Bricked Desire

Yes, this is another HTC Desire bricked thread.
Also very yes, I've read a plethora of what I considered similar threads, on this forum and others.
THE HARDWARE:
Us Cellular Branded HTC Desire.
THE PROBLEM:
I rooted the phone without problems. I then attempted to flash several (read: a dozen or so) different ROMS following tutorials to the letter. Most were Froyo ROMS with Sense UI. I like HTC Sense.
So, after trying dozens of different ROMs, none of them gets past the white boot screen with green "htc" text. Sometimes the phone would auto reboot a few times and then shatter my hopes by getting stuck again, and again... and again.
WHAT I HAS DONE:
After proving the cake was no lie, I created a gold card. I then followed some nice instructions about using previously mentioned card to flash non-branded ROMs. After I mopped up my tears of rage and frustration from all these ROMS still getting stuck on the same white boot screen, I wrote this post.
Also, I went in to my local us cellular store (I know the tech who works there) hoping he could do me a favor.. but since the phone was rooted (yes i know i'm an idiot for trying) he could do no such thing.
Also, I tried downloading .exe (RUU files?) that set up a wizard on my pc to fix my desire but they couldn't connect to my device... connection error message kept coming up.
I am willing to crawl up a temple on my knees for penitence if need be to get this fixed. But please don't *only* send a few links to "similar" threads...
Sounds like an usb brick. Follow this guide to repair:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
If finished, try to unroot your phone by flashing fitting ruu again.
Btw, a question: which hardwarerevision does your desire have? You find this out, when you boot into hboot and read the number behind the word pvt (first line). Another question: which recovery system do you have?
No warranty for any damage!
Sry for the post, Mat was quicker
The hard part is finding a fitting RUU... since the US Cellular brand does not seem to be popular.
I *FINALLY* got a RUU to flash via fast bootusb.... and it looks like i am in the clear... as far as that goes.
We shall see how this works out.
Thank you (I hit thanks button too)

Good luck!
If flashing of the US cellular rom fixes it then odds are the goldcard did not work. Goldcards can be temperamental to setup and keep setup correctly.
If you repartition you need to set it up again. I have had a lot of annoyances due to this on my phone.
Thanks all
Everything works great... save for my SD card (which was a gold card). I ended up formatting it with my pc, then reinserting and everything seems fine.
