Hi All,
I've got an O2 branded Diamond with Hard-SPL. I want to put on the latest O2 firmware to sell it, and I ideally don't want to go back to the original SPL as I'm not 100% confident in doing so.
I've downloaded the stock ROM and not suprisingly, it says not valid for your device (or whatever that error is). So I took the ROM, Radio and Splash out of the download and tried again. It flashes it fine, but after the splash screen it brings up the green WinMo screen and promptly fades to black. All the button lights come on for a second, and then I'm just left with a flashing center button.
I've tried putting other ROMs on and it's fine. I've also tried a few radios and also (when working with another ROM) tried taking the Radio out of the stock ROM, but I get exactly the same.
Has anyone seen this before, and do they know how to fix it? Alternatively, if anyone has an SPL that they can guarantee is for the O2 XDA Ignito, then I guess I can go that route.
Cheers,
Dan
Heh, went to redownload the stock ROM and I noticed it was actually labelled Serra (Touch Pro):
http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI...ineHelp-_-Help_Home_Page-_- HelpMobileTab_XDA
So, downloading it from the HTC website now and it's a different size..
Hehe, looks like that was the problem - nice one O2. Ran it through NBHUtil and it seems happy. Good times.

Sorry to open a new thread, but I want to ask is there any method to fix this problem apart from using Mitty?
I tried flashing LVSW 3-26 firmware using SPL 1.06 or the 1.1x, both gave me the end results of white screen.
I am newbie to Mitty and worry of bricking my device with Mitty.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to cast the white screen away?
Desperately in need of help.
Thanks
I see by the sorry for a new thread you have read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299644
I am with you. Right now I would go to a different version. The previous LSVW or another build. I am trying the mtty thing but I am running vista and cannot get NBHextract to work.
If you do not want to risk it maybe holding off a day and checking back for an update. These guys are fast. Also like I said go to a different version. I flashed the revious LSVW os only and it worked 3 times in a row perfect
When you say white screen what do you mean?? You get a white screen and the device doesnt boot?? or the device has a white today screen?
people
for black 1.3 i will release two versions
one with SPL and OS (with RUU 3.6)
and
one with only OS using standard RUU (assuming you already have HardSPL)
this will give u an option

The White Screen for me is i can see the HTC Flash screen, but the Windows Mobile screen becomes white without me even seeing it and the Today screen is also white also.
Also, i was wondering if using Hard-SPL might help?
Thanks
nope i am using hard spl and tried it still white screen
Me too....
I also got the white screen of death. lol.
i used the version that was posed on the main page. After the update and initial boot the white screen comes on.
I was able to bypass this after several resets. Then it will start the customisation process. After which it will restart and go to a white today screen with no icons. I do have the task bars at top and bottom but no dialer.
My fix. I went and dl RUU_HER_6.20.100.0_0.00.00.00_XDA_WWE_XBOW_Custom. I installed it and works like it did before.
I will wait till there is a fix for this...
BTW I have a cingular 8525
I WANT TO OFER YOU GUYS SOMTHING

After hours and sleepless night, and so many flashes i think the NAND in my dopod was hot enough to fry a breaky for me, i've come to the comclusion, i have 100%, no issue success with all ROMS, using 1.01MFG and MTTY flashing each part seperatly. Not one time has a white screen appeared, with ANY rom, and i've tested all the current WM6 roms.
I d/l'd and tried the latest LVSW rom (26/3) and have exactly the same issue when using the packaged RUU to install it. However, when i use MTTY, its perfect every time.
I would suggest the following steps
1. Load into the bootloader mode (HOLD POWER/OK buttons and press soft reset)
2. Flash SPL-1.01MFG onto your device (Read wiki info and file links here)
3. Once flashed, reboot and do step one again to get back into boot mode. You should now see your boot as 1.01MFG
4. Use NBHextract to extract 06_OS.nb file from RUU_signed.nbh file found in downloaded rom package.
5. Load up MTTY, follow steps in the wiki for the 1.01MFG on how to flash OS.nb (OS.nb is the 06_OS.nb file renamed to make it easier)
6. Once flash is complete, the latest rom is installed and you won't have a white screen
7. Now flash Hard SPL v4 onto your devic for safety reasons.
And this fix is EASY to do, 100% works every time.

It worked 100% for me first time.
Just for the record I used ROMbaker to get the 06_os.nb then just rename it to os.nb.
Also if you are not sure and feel nervous about bricking it, then just wait for a proper fix.
Finally I got the white screen a few times and everytime I flashed the previous LSVW os only the device worked perfect. From my reading Olipro may have found the problem haveing to do with bad blocks. Nothing major but I believe they are working on it currently.
If you follow these directions and install 1.01MFG, you can BRICK YOUR DEVICE with ANY mistake!
We're not talking about a brick that can be fixed either. You precious phone will become a paper-weight forever more! Really.
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE N00BS ON HERE SAY; FLASHING 1.01MFG IS **NOT** A RECOMMENDED WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! DO NOT INSTALL 1.01MFG UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH THE CHANCE THAT YOUR PHONE WILL BE BROKEN FOREVER!!

Just go back to a previous version of WM6.
It only takes several minutes to put back XDA- Live.

I tried going back to WM5 firmware.
Flashing the firmware is a success but I still got the white-screen-of-death.
Any other options?
Thanks
SPL-1.35.Olipro will be released shortly; this should address the issue of the whitescreen error, all those having problems under 1.30 should no longer encounter it if they were able to flash fine with old SPL's

Question ?
Hi All,
Sorry N00b alert at this .. but very IT literate
Just a quick question off the cuff, what was the last(est) version (can you provide a link) that i can flash to now .. (not mucking around seperating stuff etc) that wont give me the white screen issue.
I am currently sitting on LSVW 25/3 1.38.10 radio and 1.13oli
Thanx test
I need to bring my device in for repair at the shop but need to go back to wm5 but ic an't see anything on the screen, is it possible to flash without having the screen work? its all white. im currently on wm6
I don't mind if its in the initial setup as long as its got wm5 on it from three au.
Sit on your device and meditate. Count to 10, if you are tranquil then go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462
If not.. then just throw your device away or look for "legolas..something".. he might buy your device. It seems that you've just bricked your device...
Hey, Was the all white caused by the WM6 upgrade. If you reboot do you even the the boot splash screens???
No, i didn't brick the device, it was working fine and then one day it goes all white screen.
It used to fade away to white screen during use.
It still runs, and i can use the phone, it just doesn't show anything but white on the screen.
try using mtty and aee if you have bad blocks and try flashing a non tool chained rom and see if that helps!
I have successfully flashed it back to the default rom with no screen.
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 !
Hi,
I bought a diamond a few days ago, and the touch screen recently stopped working. Before it's death, I flashed it with HardSPL 1.40 Olinex, but kept the rom and the radio stock. The problem now is that I would like to send it in for warranty to repair the screen, and I can't revert it back to the original SPL. I've read several threads about how to change it back to OEM specs, but all of them have resulted in the bootloader still displaying HardSPL 1.40Olinex.
Since my touch screen is broken and I recently performed a hard reset to try to fix the screen, I can't get past the align screen, so i've attempted all my upgrades from the bootloader screen(the screen with 4 colors is bootloader screen i think?). I've tried several SPL's from a thread which i beleive where 1.24 original, 1.37 original, 1.93Olinex, all of them still resulting in 1.40Olinex displaying on the bootloader. I also tried installing an official ROM, but that did nothing. I'm desperate for any help or advice so I can get this phone fixed and start enjoying it.
Thank you
Try make connection via AS ( not bootloader ) and shipped rom with not patched custom_ruu

I'll try that. I think i've tried it before, where I could make a connection but was not able to update due to me being stuck on the align screen? I'll give it another go.

Yes I have thanks. That was where I tried using the RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip along with the 1.37 from the first attachment, which still ended up as 1.40OliNex. I'll give it another go from the active sync rather than bootloader.
Thanks guys
Ok so I tried from AS, here's what i got:
Using CMONEX's post, with all the roms and the custom ruu I was able to detect the phone version and press update, but before it starts updating it gets an error [202], connection.
Using a shipped ruu with the 1.37 from CMONEX's post as well as the shipped nbh, the device loaded into bootloader and updated, but still displayed 1.40OliNex. It was able to install from AS though.
I really have no clue what's going on. Any suggestions?
EDIT:
I was able to magically get the touch screen to work to get past the align screen after updating to a different rom, and I was able to update it normally following CMONEX's post.
Thanks for your help guys.
Great News
Glad you got it sorted
Hi,
I have my Diamond over a year and all was great till one day, suddenly it can't load the OS.
After power on, the black screen with "TOUCH Diamond" appear,
then it shows the radio version in red at the right bottom of the screen and from there nothing happen.
I tried to flash several ROMs & Radios, including the original ROM from HTC site but nothing.
The process of flashing seems to be fine and in fill all the 100% bar,
then it restart like during regular ROM flashing procedure but still no boot.
I tried to flash other hard-spl and still nothing.
I'm really lost and I hope someone has an idea for a solution.
Thanks
sorry if it's not the right place for this topic,
I also put it on general Diamond post so this one can be deleted.
