Hi,
My diamond was water damaged a while ago, I let it dry out for a couple of weeks and it did not work, I bought a new diamond and tried the battery in my old one and to my amazment it started up, well to the touch diamond screen anyway, it didn't display any red writing and the sreen stayed on but went black after that. I though the radio must have been gone so put it in the bootloader and tried to flash the same radio I had before 1.17, the white screen came up and all went fine but still the same problem!
I really need the data on my internal storage and so need to at least be able to read that. I don't care about it working forever thats why I bought another one as a doner!
Could someone please tell me what happened and how to fix it! Why does it not get past this?
Thanks.
Also I have hard reset it, reflashed the original ROM successfully, reflashed hardspl and reflashed the Stock SPL but it still does the same!
In case it helps the bootloader says:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Wrong Platform(v0x0)
What does that mean?
I guess the water just bricked your device,
you'd better throw it away i think
there's one posible solution, go to your phone's store and ask if they have some machine to acces the internal storage. (something like this has to be alive somewhere)
Goodluck
MK.
I don't think it's bricked because it goes into the bootloader just fine. However there is something wrong with the firmware. Bricked normaly means it doesn't turn on at all!
Please someone help, especially the last line on the bootloader sounds worrying!
I am also having this problem, but I have not had water damage. I ran outa main memory and it froze and now I am having this problem. Some one told me it maybe caused by a bloated rom? I donno what that means. Any help would be great!
try radio 1.13

well i just downloaded and proceeded to flash the latest ROM from clubimate..
everything went normal, upgraded Radio, ExtROM, and CE ROM, then i was asked to unplug the device, and cold boot it, which i did.
after clearing the storage, the device reset, showed the splash screen, the version strings (latest ones) and stayed there.. i kept it for 15 minutes to no avail..
i reflashed again from the bootloader and still the same behaviour
Radio ROM takes 20 minutes to flash, EXT Rom takes less than a minute, then when CE flashing is done, i cold boot.. again it gets stuck on the boot splash screen
i tried a different PC, different cable, older ROM version.. all the same..
any clues as to what may have gone wrong here?
Thanks in advance
me too
Got the same problem and same description of proces
well,
i tried flashing the radio rom again, tried every mtty trick in the book and still got nothing.
eventually i've taken the phone to i-mate service center, and it's been there for a week
they said the motherboard is faulty and needs replacement, i'm suspecting the flash chip has gone bad.
now i'm not sure if this applies to all of us here with the same symptoms after the upgrade, but i really find it strange that after all these years with i-mate devices, upgrading, downgrading and flashing different roms, half the forum hits the same dead-end when a new update comes out from i-mate and they try to flash it on.
something is strange about the latest rom. i just wish i knew what it is

I now have the same problem as well. I however received this through the trials and tribulations of getting my JJ into the damn bootloader...
Hi everyone.
I have a big issue with my phone. I decided to upgrade the rom by an official one (french HTC rom). I use the unsigned hard SPL and flash it. Since that, my screen is vibrating. I don't know what is the probleme (maybe the phone was too hot during flash and something burn inside ?).
I tried a hard reset => nothing best.
I'm a little big afraid :-( Anyone got an idea ?
Thanks a lot.
I think this is normal my Diamond vibrate on every Startup and when I inital an Call.
Ghostrider
No actually it's not the phone's vibration. It's the image on the screen witch is "flashing" and vibrating.
After a sleeping time, the vibrations are less visible.
If the image on the screen becomes "fuzzy" (like TV interference), it almost sounds like faulty screen some people were experiencing. I doubt it have to do something with your flashing, just happened coincidentially at same time.

Hi, i did have the same problem using TLR (cant remember what version).
What i did was to flash it again with another ROM (bElite v0.54) and my picture was fine after that
Ive got that problem when I flash ANY rom with HARD-SPL running so what I do is flash back to a stock version of spl (1.37) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39
So in this order......
1 - Flash HARD SPL
2 - Flash rom
3 - Flash Stock SPL
Problem solved

Try what ratcom said. If it still flashes with standard ROM, I would advise you to make everything original again (ie original ROM & SPL) then send back to HTC for repair.
Hi. After my issue, I decided to downgrade the phone and, when I put the official SPL, it was working. 5 minutes later, I read ratcom's post that confirm the problem and the solution. So, this morning, after charging the battery, I used unsigned SSPL, put the HTC rom, get one more time the sreen issue, and reflash the SPL by an original one just like ratcom said. And ... it's working. No more sreen vibration ! And a new and nice HTC rom !
So, thanks for your help !
I have posted this in another thread but noone seems to be able to help or have seen this message.
But I hope some of you can give me some kind of help so I can rescue my Touch Diamond.
I really need your help so I cand send my phone to repair on my warranty.
My Diamond is "almost" dead and when it´s connected to the batterycharger, the phone reboots allt the time, but I can access the Bootloader, and it´s the ONLY way I can have contact with my phone.
Power on won´t start my phone and with the batterycharger the text " Touch Diamond" shows upp and then reboots again and again.
But I can enter the Bootloader.
(The last cooked Rom was a beta from udk which worked satisfied. Downloaded and installed on my Diamond in November.)
I have succeded (?) to update the ROM with the official 1.93 Swedish ROM, made by HTC for the Swedish operator 3 via BOOTLOADER beause it seems to install to 100%.
I have no way to check it...had to belive that the 100% indicator was right.
Then I entered the Bootloader (only way for me to get some access to the phone) and tried to install the stock 1.93 spl found in post 20 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400411.
Same there: 100% is shown after install, so I thought it should work.
After install, I enter the Bootloader (tricolor) again but the text still says:
Security Unlocked
Diam100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40 OliNex
MicroP.Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
I have also tried to install 1.35 spl in that post with no luck!
Do you know why it won´t show the stock spl I tried to install but shows only the hard.spl 1.40 after I tried to change the spl??
Is there another stock SPL I shall install?
I have Sim unlocked my Diamond couples of month ago with the Diamond Unlocker program.
Is my phone a brick now or can I do something so I can use my warranty?
Hope someone can help me!
Thank you very much!
Anyone?
Leave it on charger for an hour and reboot without charger...
Seems to me your battery is knocked down drained I have this too, it just will not start up.
It will start up with charger, but during startup the power is not enough to keep it going, i believe while booting, the chargeprocess is hold for a few seconds. The still empty battery just knocks down phone and -> reboot.
Method of install SPL is diff, then rom/radio.

I just tried this and it did´nt help.
When connected to the battery charger, the phone indicates it charge for a couple of seconds, then the start/reboot thing occur again.
But the ring around the D-pad did´nt glow anymore like it does when the phone being charge.
However: I let the phone be connected to the battery charger for 5 hours, then tried to start the phone, but the phone did not react when it had no power source.
But when I have the phone connected to the charger, the phone ony starts with "Touch Diamond" on the screen and then reboots.
During the restarts I can access the bootloader.
I also tried a new and fresh battery from my friends Diamond but same problem occured. The phone wont start.

I tried to change back to stock SPL - after I had installed stock Rom -by entering the bootloader (the only way I can access my phone) and started the update for SPL. The indicator showed it was updated to 100%.
But when I look at the tricolor screen it still shows I have Olinex 1.40.
Have I made something wrong when I tried to install stock SPL? The installation indicator during the install looked normal.
Can I have problem to install the stock SPL mentioned in post 1, because I have not a WWW- Rom? I had to reinstall the original ROM for the Swedish operator 3.
Really hope someone can help me out so I don´t need to trash my phone into the garbage.
i flashed nfsfans rom, everything went fine but when it restarted it just stays on the verizon bootscreen and wont let me do anything i think its bricked but im not really sure please help me ive tried soft resseting and removing the battery it still does the same thing i dnt know what to do
i had the same problem.. somebody said there was a fix i didnt find it, the problem was probably missing a step in using the unlocker, it asks you to unplug and replug the phone so it can close activesync, i didnt do it and ended up where you are.
i got annoyed after trying to find a fix for an hour or 2 and called verizon because i didnt buy insurance for it, luckily i was still in my year warrant the vogue comes with and they sent me a new 1, i just had to send them my broken one back
its not really bricked i dont think, but verizon couldnt get it to reset from their side so it's considered that way
ya but is obviously no under warrenty any more so what can I do to fix it????

Give us a little more info
what does the SPL in bootloader show?
what radio is showing on the 1st splash screen?
If all else fails place into bootloader and flash a shipped ROM and start over.
yeah. whitey is correct.
what bootloader did you use?
you probably used .41 or .40 unlcoker instead of 2.31.
im kind of a noob how do i find the stuff??
uhh. just go to bootloader mode (quad color screen with seriel when not plugged in and usb when plugged in via usb)
(power+camera+reset hole) then tell us what you see.
just type all of the info on the screen.
alright it says
vogu100
spl-0.36.0000
cpld-3
hmm. i would recommend you downgraded your rom+radio with a nongps rom because you used a nongps unlocker.
use a tnz one
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/Im...RUU_signed.rar
and then update the radio using 3.42.5 or 3.42.3
-sorry can't find link to exact radio update, but you should update via sd card-
then load stock rom
then unlock with 2.31 unlocker (cokeman's)
then flash custom rom
i installed nfsfANS ROM but i only get date when i make a call it says something about athintcation
is this when you only make a call?
if so. then you call your carrier.
(for verizon its *228)
and press option 1.
idk about sprint, bell, altell. but you need to authorize your phone to make phone calls, receive sms, and use data. in order to use data/send-receive pix messages, you need to use a cab. avalaible here.

Does anyone know how to, or if there is any way to read the internal storage from the bootloader? I know the phone can read it to flash a ROM from it so why not to get my files off? I can get it into the bootloader so does anyone know any software that can help me to read the files and get them off?
Thanks.
HardSPL HTC repair
Also I called HTC and they said they could try and repair it but I'm not sure about sending it to them as I do want my data but it has HardSPL installed although they did say due to it being water damaged it is an out of warrenty repair and would cost me. Does it matter then if HardSPL is installed as I'm paying for it? I didn't ask them as I wasn't sure. Is there any way to install the stock SPL from the bootloader? As I did try but it didn't seem to work! I am not willing to destroy it further as some people do as I need the data.

Infinite restart / reboot loop
What a pity! Any progress in this topic?
I have also this same problem. My Diamond crashed a while ago. It happened suddenly after I activated the WiFi module during normal daily use. The unit restarted itself and stucked in an infinite restart loop since then. I reflashed everything possible with success (also stock ROM), radio ROM etc. No way - the unit is rebooting and rebooting in the very same restart loop.
So I can not access the internal storage and can not save my data. Though there are no pictures of my new-born son, but there are some important files and notes I would love to save, but how?
Is there any possibility to access the internal torage from the bootloader?
Is it maybe possible to open the unit - voiding the warranty - and resolder the internal flash storage on another diamond (a working one)?
I suppose there is some problem with the radio, which causes the reboot. The remaining parts are probably OK. Maybe there is some way to deactivate the radio (WiFi module) from the bootloader (MTTY tool)?
Any hints highly apprechiated!!
Thanks guys!

Hi,
Perhaps you could flash another rom to it. but remember you need to clear the ram with mtty before flashing the new rom. get the diamond unlock tool from olipro (its there in the stickies, i guess) and/or flash new radio series then install the new rom of your choice.
Have a shot, and tell us how it goes.
thanks.
