Develop Bugs

I can't believe I'm doing something wrong for something so simple.

I started this thread for my dumbass because I didn't want to clutter up all the other threads that were trying to give real information.
I've even bothered a few of the more knowledgeable people on the forum but I'm sure they have better things to do than explain something they've probably explained a bizzilion times...
Okay, here's what I've got.
My Diamond has 1.37 ROM on it... the last one available directly from HTC.
I've read so freakin' much on here, my head is spinning. My understanding is with each new cooked ROM, you need an spl.
I downloaded two copies of ROM's. One is 1.93 from HTC Europe. I thought if this was a factory ROM, I wouldn't need to install an spl because it would be built in. I get an incompatible message.
I then d/l'd Dutty's new 1.93 cooked ROM. (version 1.3)
Before I tried to install it, I d/l'd 1.24 SPL.
This is where I get fcuked up apparently. Here's what I did....
-I made a folder on the desktop.
-I downloaded 1.24 and extracted the files to the folder I just made.
-I connected my phone and established communication.
-I doubleclicked on "diamond-sspl.bat" file so it would install the spl new spl
-A windows ms-prompt box comes up and you space-bar down through the prompts.
-On the Diamond's screen, a "continue" dialog box comes up. When I click on it, the screen goes black. (phone shuts off)
I disconnect the USB cable, pull the battery and start the phone up.
I guess this is where I'm lost... doesn't this mean I'm ready to install the new ROM? If I hold the volume button down and reboot the phone, it shows version 1.37 spl.
Like I said, I didn't want to clutter up useful threads, for newbies such as myself, it seems the more you read, the more complicated it becomes (when in reality it isn't)
Can someone please clue me in to my stupidity. I know you all answered these questions before but I am literally SICK of reading. I spent 3 hours last night and 7 hours today messing with this. I really do have a life but this phone has me messed up.
Just for the record, I tried the other spl (1.23 and 1.34, etc, etc) to no avail.
Help?
Thanks so much,
Mark

The black screen doesn't mean the phone shuts off, don't disconnect it and let the process continue.

Okay, the "black screen" has been on since I responded to your post. The lights on the phone are off, am I missing something?
I don't think the phone is doing anything, I think it's off.

How are dfar are you with the hardspl flashing, can u soft reset and connect to activesync, if yes just re-do the process, black screen like what pof said its a part of the process, just run the ruu application and beging flashing thehardspl,

Anyone else?
When I click on continue on the screen, am I doing something wrong?

When you have the black screen, start the RUU and flash HardSPL... that's it.

When the screen turns black (which has been off for about 5 minutes now), I can do a soft reset.
Okay, so now I go into the folder I created on my desktop and doubleclick on what? The RUU 1.000.00.00 file or the your 1.3 version upgrade?
In either case, when I do, the tri-color screen comes on for a second and the screen goes to gray with a progress bar sitting on 0%.
(FWIW, when the tricolor bar comes up, it shows 1.37 as the spl) I thought the whole reason I double clicked on the .bat file was to install the 1.24 spl.
?

After doing a soft reset, correct?
Cause if so, read above post.

I did the RUU install with the screen black and it shows it was successful. I'm SO embarassed.
Okay, so all I've done at this point is install 1.24 spl. Now I can install 1.93, correct?
Geesh, what a moron.

I can't thank you guys enough. I'm honestly terribly embarassed that I kept trying to do a soft reset after running the .bat file.
I just wanted to say THANKS for everyone's patience for us with limited knowledge. I'm sure I'll have more questions later...lol.
Thanks again,

Yes, go for it. Connect via activesync and run the DiamondRUU you extracted from the 1.93 download, the rest is automatic.

Here's what you need to do:
Hold down the "Volume Down" button and press reset with the stylus. You will enter the Boot Loader. Now plug in your USB cable connecting it to you PC. On the bottom part of the screen (phone) you'll see USB. Now your PC recognizes the phone.
Start a ROM update through the RUU executable and flash your phone with a different ROM.

hard reset is somthing i dont want to do. Is there any other option?

I think not. Don't know if you have a lot of apps installed after flashing. What you could do is find a ROM that's UC2/sUC compliant. If you create a folder structure on your internal storage like this:
ROOT > Backup and Restore > CAB > CABi
Put all the cabs you want on your device in the CAB folder and all the cabs you want on internal storage in CABi folder. After flashin and initial customization you will find yourself in User Customization (UC). It will state that it found a CAB folder, choose to install. After this it will state that it found a CABi folder, install as well. This reduces the effort of installing all apps after a hard-reset. As for messages, contacts e.g. I suggest you use PPCPimBackup.

same problem, but when I launch the ruu all is ok, until it starts, it stay at 0%, then I get a message that there was a communication error

Try flashing through bootloader. Press reset with stylus while holding volume down. After you're in the bootloader plugin USB cable and start flashing.

tried and didnt work. made it worst in fact :S
startet update trough bootloader, started, updated to 13% and then I was told the update didnt work with my device (or something similar, in norwegian). tried an older update, same problem... :/
when I now boot the phone I'm directly in bootloader, and with the funny message
DIAM100 65M
SPL-2.03.0000
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
I might have my hand on a brick... but hope not...
edit:
ooh, news, suddenly its updating moore... after 5 tries it allways stopped at 13%, but now it up to 31% and going strong... will update..
edit2: going strong up to 33%....... wow... well its a start and Im going to try some more.
edit3; 7th time the charm it seems... 100% and all I had to do was sit REALLY still. and I actually downgraded from 2.03 to 1.93 or something... should note that on this point I have tried flashing it with the original 2.03 and 1.93 every other time...
edit4; aaaaand we're back at the TOUCH Diamond screen.
edit5; aaaand after a failed flash to wm 6.5 (stopped/didnt start at 0%)... the phone started... This MIGHT be a clue that I should NOT try to get wm6.5 to run... but that wont stop me
I dont know if anyone else will have the same problems, but atleast this was my way to the resolution

Before you try to flash anything other then a stock ROM, I suggest you take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
You need to have Hard-SPL flashed before flashing any custom ROM. My advice would be to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705

cool, will try that one. thnx

Did you hold the volume down button while pressing reset? After pressing reset you should keep holding the volume down button until the tri-color bootscreen appears.

I think I just bricked this phone.

So I think I just bricked my dads vogue.
I followed the instructions in the HOW TO FLASH YOUR VOGUE thread as best as I could and now I'm in a rough position. He's been ranting about the WinMo OS almost since he got it and wanted to try Android so I tried to flash it.
What's going on:
Blank (black) screen
Backlight is on
Orange status(?) LED
Unresponsive to anything
Powering up yields a green status LED, one buzz of the vibration, call & end keys light up then it reverts to the above. Takes 1 or 2 seconds.
Plugging in the USB gives me "Found New Hardware: Data Interface" but I don't have the drivers or w/e is required to install it.
Any one able to help me? I figured this should be pretty straight forward but it's turning out to be a nightmare. :cries:

Try to go into bootloader mode (Power+Camera+Reset), and flash to stock rom.

Thanks that helped. Now to successfully acquire and load a ROM.

So I've gotten back to red/green/blue/white striped screen but nothing will read the phone/let me flash anything to it.
Screen says:
VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.31.CoKe
CPLD-3
USB

just flash with coke 2.31 again.Most of the time it works (rename coke2.31mfg.exe to .rar,unrar,extract and run ruu)

I've tried that 3 or 4 times, it doesn't recognize there's even a device connected.

Got the help required to fix this thing from my other thread. Thanks every one.

restart the diamond from the red button under the stylus and hold the volume down.
the diamond will rise again with a screen with colored stripes, connect the USB cable and flash the rom

im trying to do it and it just goes on black screen, disconnects and then nothing..........................

Okay, download an official HTC rom for your device in the language it came with (look up wiki pages for diamond, you'll find them there).
Hook up your phone to your computer and since it is already in bootloader (the red/green/blue screen) just double click the file you just downloaded and follow the instructions on the screen.
Don't worry...your phone will be fine.
btw...your spl is 1.40.OliNex......that looks like unlocked to me (hardSPL)

reay? well i dont know... i bought from someone.... i'll let you know of how it goes.. thanks a lot!!!!!!

May i ask you another silly wuestion? How do I fsh a rom? because in all cases, the phone must be synchronised with the pc.. oh and my phone says"serial" in the white box..

Try Booting Phone Into Bootloader Screen Then Plug In Usb Cable Make Sure It Says Usb At The Bottom Of The Phone Screen Then Try To HardSpl Again.

Try Installing This Cab On Your Phone --> http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab Then Run HardSpl Again.

kk thank you, i will try. will post results as soon as i get them. Thanks again. kudos to you!

If your phone does not have the HardSPL on it, and it will not boot properly, you need to get it back into bootloader mode, wait for 'USB' to appear on the screen, and flash the stock ROM, then try again with the HardSPL program.
EDIT: To see what version of Rhodium you have, remove your battery and look at the sticker under there on the phone. you should see something like RHOD100, RHOD200, RHOD300, RHOD400, or RHOD500. RHOD100-300 is GSM. RHOD400 & 500 is CDMA. Make sure you flash the correct ROMs, radios, and HSPL for your device or you run the risk of bricking it.
