Check yr device, if it says 5.0 botloader, do not try any revert, dft rspl, hspl , or radio flashing techniques on it.
It will result in half bricked or full bricked device.
Seems the loophole only works until 4.5 boot loader ( where u downgrade to earlier stock rom then use dft rspl,hspl ) .
Cheers.
Hi
thanks for precious info!!
but unfortunately i have used hspl exe on bootloader 4.5 and now my htc t8788 surround phone is half bricked i have searched Riff Jtag also dont have any solution ??
please can u say something about it that helps me ?

@Magpir: What about restoring an earlier Zune backup (like your NoDo backup, for example); does that revert the SPL below v5? I was able to use that technique on 4.5 but havne't tried on 5.0 yet.
No. Reverting backup copy will no revert SPL down from 5.

my friend just downgraded HTC HD7 from 4.5 to 1.16 with RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.01_Radio_5.51.09. 06a_22.30.50.09U_by_ansar
did you try with any official ROM if available?
The problem is the tried to HSPL 4.5 directly. That doesn't work, this is well documented (and there are fixes for it known; no need to spam the board). However, once you've done that ("half bricked" the device) you can't flash it again until you fix it.
The point of this entire thread is that the method you used for 4.5 doesn't work at all with 5.0 - @basitmemon786 is basically off-topic here.
SPL 4.5 - allows u to downgrade to lower stock version and apply DFT.
SPL 5 - will not allow downgrade to lower stock rom , flash radio or DFT
To summarize, u cant do anything with spl 5.0

zune restore does not restore SPL. only OS. this is fine
But the backup using XDA backup and restore tool , cut and paste in the zune folder from premangostate to zune phone update folder.dont also try this as it will half brick yr device
Solutions.
I have solutions.
U have to restore to before upgrade to SPL 4.5 and update to SPL 4.5.
After u have SPL 4.5 u can flash official rom or flash SPL.
Another solution use goldcard to flash lower SPL

OK - can you provide instructions plesae? How do you get to the stage where you can flash from a gold card? The half brick situation prevents access to the USB host from the bootloader - but if you have a workaround , I'm very interested. I thought that JTAG was the only possibility for now

I've done the same thing with my Mozart and only JTAG helped me.
My solution is how to downgrading SPL 5.0.
U can do this if ur phone not half-brick.(connected to computer show "USB" but can't flash rom.)
Use restore and update trick.(I use this way.)
1.restore to before upgrade to SPL 4.5 *not before SPL 5. *It is before all HTC update after u have mango.
2.update to SPL 4.5. *update only one time.
Another solution is using gold card to flash rom.(PPJD use this because he don't have that restore point.)
I'm not sure what nbh he use to flash.

Well i bought this mobile yesterday, now i tried to instal wm 5.0 on it.
One of the problems is, as you have to unzip a file supercid and use it, how do u actually make it work correctly, it always fails with the alpha tool...
Maybe it's because i have SPL 2.4.33.11, could it be because of that, that those things fail? (If it does, how do i downgrade it, so i can install wm 5.0 on it?)
And something about unlocking ur applications, how the hell do you do that, none of the ways i've tried didn't work... any help would be welcome...
thanks...
Yep you need a 1.XX SPL bootloader. Do a google search you'll find the answer - you're not the first to have this.

Hi,
My Diamond has no response on the screen, so I think I need to return to factory for repairing. However I have difficulties in falling back to stock ROM and SPL.
From the Wiki:
---------------
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
...
-----------------
I can't flash my ROM to latest HK WWE CSL ROM (2.03) as it just stopped at 0%. I'm using SPL-1.30.OliNex.
Questions:
0) Why? Any step I've missed? I've just copied the .NBH from HTC official ROM download. Should I get the .NBH from the Wiki instead?
1) Should I flash to v1.93 (the very beginning of the ROM)?
2) Must the RADIO be flashed back as well? or the above Stock ROM has included the RADIO already?
3) Anyone can give me a reference on the step-by-step in details...
Thanks!
Please help...

If the latest was the offical from the site then you could use that - as you are having issues flashing this with 1.30 HSPL, I would suggest updating that to 1.40

Thanks a lot.
Re Q3, so do you mean if I extracted the stock NBH, it's only OS but not including RADIO? If so, I will get the RADIO from wiki page later. Would you please clarify for me?
After your information, I think the steps in Wiki are clear. Thanks.
If this is HK ROM is the one you have downloaded from HTC PAGE then it has a radio included
Since my Diamond is totally malfunction in the touch screen, I can't response to all the confirmation & prompts...
I've failed to install Stock ROM and tried your recommendation on upgrading to HSPL 1.40. There was a confirmation on running the program in my Diamond and I can't press YES and now my diamond is just like bricked.
I've also tried pressing VOL DOWN + Reset to connect the Diamond via USB. The ROM Update Utility has "successfully" update the HSPL, but actually when I hard reset it and found it's still running 1.30... Can I just use this approach to fallback to Factory status??
Anyone has good idea on how to fallback to Factory Stock ROM, RADIO and SPL, provided that my screen has totally no response to me?
PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE help.
You will not be able to update olipros Hard SPL in bootloader mode as the SPL is protected and the 1.30 will prevent this although show its been done.
What you will need to do then is just load a 1.93 ROM from boot loader. the were some in that link i posted earlier. as to reverting to the default SPL - you may be luck not to need the screen for any confirmation. but running a new SPL to overwrite Oli's you will need to use windows and the RRU
I've tried to load 1.93 ROM to my diamond but failed on OliNex 1.30. The link in modmydiamond.info on OliNex 1.40 Signed seems not correct, as it's still 1.30 after flashed. I've then flashed UNSIGNED 1.40 OliNex SPL (also downloaded from modmydiamond.info) and now flashing the 1.93 ROM in progress from bootloader.
I will flash the Stock SPL through the Bootloader after that...I hope I can successfully fallback and get it repair...
Last question (I hope), the stock SPL should be 1.37 so I want to confirm whether it can boot 1.93 ROM.
Thanks a lot!
Because these Unsigned HARD SPL 's are write protected.....you will fail all the time. Not sure if stock SPL can undue the write protection but if you still get stuck after you try then in order to bypass write protection I know Jump SPL allows for this.

you're right. When I flash the Stock SPL, it is "successful" but actually it doesn't update the SPL (i.e yet running OliNex 1.40). Where can I get the Jump SPL?

That ROM had a different boot image - so you need to replace that by flashing another splash .NBH file using RUU.
Original splash can be found HERE
and if needed CUSTOM RUU HERE
Just un-zip these and put the splash file in the same folder as the Custom RUU and run the RUU - the flash should take a few seconds and viola - bye bye Diamond project splash.

As said before; you should be able to successfully run the stock SPL using RUU - if you are trying this via bootloader it will not work.
Which is the original SPL?? 1.23, 1.34 or 1.37? I do recall taking a picture of the original SPL when i 1st got the Diamond for days like that but i just can't find it now
I'm bought it from Malaysia. Anybody can help me confirm this??

I've tried to connect to ActiveSync successfully although the Initial Setup wizard on my Diamond. I've then run the RUU from RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and put the stock SPL .NBH file into the extracted directory. It can retrieve my device info, and when I confirm the update of ROM, after 3-5 sec it said about connection failure. I can browse the Internal Storage at the moment yet.
I've then tried similar thing using the Custom RUU inside the package diamond-hspl-1.34.zip. This time I can see 100% update. When I press VolDown and reset, the SPL is still v1.40 ONliEx.
What's wrong with my procedures above?

Due to a hardware problem in my Diamond I needed to restore it to manufacturer default. I didn't find a guide to this and since I've done the research anyway I thought I'd put together this little tutorial as the information was somewhat scattered around the forum. I hope this guide will be of use for the community.
My phone was originally branded and sim-locked by 3. After I was through with it, it was SIM-unlocked, security unlocked and had HSPL, custom ROM and a radio ported from another device. The steps below is what I did to restore it to stock. All steps might not be neccessary for you. This procedure might also work for other devices than the Diamond, but of course you need other versions of SPL, ROM etc.
1. Backup everything on your phone to your computer - use activesync, PIMbackup etc and make a copy of your Internal Storage.
2. Make a hard reset (hold vol down + enter and soft reset) and chose to format moviNAND. This step is only neccessary if you want to wipe your Internal Storage before you send the device in for repair, but I recommend it.
3. Go to www.htc.com and download the latest stock ROM (includes stock radio and SPL). You find it under Support and you enter your s/n to get the correct stock ROM for your device, complete with branding for your operator. You can also find stock ROMS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
4. Flash the stock ROM. Now you have stock ROM and Radio on your device. Stock SPL will not be installed until you've replaced HSPL with an older stock SPL and flashed ROM again.
5. Get RUU-SSPL and stock SPL from HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39. I used the stock 1.93 SPL. Some instructions and info about restoring stock SPL is in the linked post by cmonex and due credit goes to her. I will repeat some of that info to keep this guide step-by-step. EDIT: Stock SPL 2.03 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3359191&postcount=390
6. Put the .nbh file from the SPL you downloaded into the same folder as the extracted contents of RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and run the RUU. This flashes an old stock SPL.
7. Flash your stock ROM from step 3 again. This step is neccessary to get the correct stock SPL on your device, eg. the one that corresponds with the stock ROM you've downloaded in step 3. It was not installed in step 4, because then you still had HSPL. In step 6 you've installed a stock SPL and now the correct stock SPL will flash along with the stock ROM. After this step I got SPL 2.03 on my Diamond.
8. Remove the Security Unlock from your device using the instructions and Security Relocker by Olinex from this post by cmonex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3299516&postcount=492
Now, my Diamond is still SIM-unlocked. I have not managed to find any info about how to restore the SIM-lock, but it is hopefully not neccessary for warranty. As far as I can tell, the unlock doesn't show anywhere, but of course all they need to do is to try a SIM-card from another operator...
If anyone has info about how to restore SIM-lock, then I'll update this guide with that info.

You're right, I tried it too. Flashing SPL through bootloader doesn't work.
You can try using JumpSPL instead, I've attached it in this post. I don't think JumpSPL will require any screen prompts on your Diamond. You can read instructions.txt in the zip, but it's just really the .bat file so you get an idea of what it's doing. Run the .bat, press enter at the prompts and run the RUU for your stock SPL instead of HSPL when asked. At your own risk, I have not tried this myself.
where can i read more information about jumpspl, how it works and everything?

I have just tried it and it gets stuck where it should run the JumpSPL.exe on the device. After a few minutes it comes with an error:
"ERROR: CreateProcess failed with Errorcode = 30123
- UNKNOWNERROR: 0x000075ab"
This is not good I just think its wierd that because of a broken screen it is impossible for me to get the stock spl flashed back on.

Sorry to hear it and I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. After all, my little tutorial is primarily aimed at those whose Diamonds have working screens...
On another note, my Diamond came back from warranty repair and the repair shop had not noticed anything that would void my warranty. In the meantime I got myself a Topaz and now I've sold my Diamond, but I'll be checking this thread from time to time.
Hey thanks bro..!! I need to give mine for reparing..
I have a hardware problem with the reset button.. Do you think I should flash my diamond back to stock? (I don't think they'll check the software right?)

I would restore it to stock anyway. Some workshops actually look for excuses/reasons why the warranty won't apply so I say you'd definitly be taking a risk if you didn't.

If you manage to install ANY stock SPL and then flash the correct ROM for your country and operator then you automatically get the correct SPL too, since stock ROMs include SPL. If you go to htc.com and type in your s/n then you automatically get the latest ROM for your device and operator.

I only link to the SPLs provided by olipro and cmonex in the hard-SPL thread. If you need closer info about SPLs I suggest you ask there. I only tried to revert back to stock SPL 1.93 myself and it worked just like described in first post.
Thanks Op
Managed to restore it no problem, but took ages
So as you can figure out from the thread title I have a problem flashing my htc diamond.
I have installed a HardSPL version 1.30 OliNex, I can confirm that becouse on the three color screen there is a text saying "1.30 OliNex".
I still have the original ROM that comes with the phone when I bought it, so this meant to be my first flashing.
I want to flash the phone with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678 it is a WM 6.5 based ROM.
Because in the ROM package there wasn't a ROMUpdateUtility.exe I used it from other ROM package.
Connected via ActiveSync and followed the wizard. The phone reset and there came a gray screen with a progress bar. Now both progress bars on the phone and on the PC screen remain 0% and after a wile RUU finished with 262 ERROR Connection error, see the attached picture.
After that I tried to flash it from Internal Storage. A followed the steps according the procedure, and after the three colored screen it came the gray screen with "Loading..." message. I waited for almost 30 minutes and nothing happened.
What seems to be the problem?
I assumed about firewall disabling the connection. But I turned off the firewall and again the same story.
Then somewhere I found that there is incompatibility with the RUU and HardSPL version, but tried to flash with the same RUU that I used when I was installing HardSPL.
Then I tough that the problem is about flashing unsigned ROM on a signed HSPL, but it is not that the ROM is signed.
I am afraid to use MTTY so I don't brick my phone, because this is my first time flashing a Diamond.
I'm confused What seems to be the problem?
Any help can be welcomed.
Could this be indication of a hardware problem? When waiting for the "Loading..." message disappear the back cover warms a little.
Thanks.
1. Did you use the RUU from my thread?
2. NEVER USE AN H-SPL RUU TO FLASH ANYTHING OTHER THAN H-SPL!
3. is this a CMDA phone. IE, what network are you on?
Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.
This is not a CDMA phone I'm on T-Mobile Macedonia network. And the phone looks like this
On other Macedonian forum they told me it is a hardware problem. Can this be true?
So what do you think about my problem?

EDIT: I did tried the RUU you recommended in your thread but it's the same.
I think it is in the PDA.
Configure active sync, and uncheck "allow usb connection" and try again.
For updating from internal storage you must have to copy the rom to the root of internal storage with a special name, ""diamimg.nbh"
Hmmm..
What he said... and...
Should have used one of the earlier SPLs. you only need to use the latest one if you are having problems with the older versions. I have the same diamond and used an early SPL.
Upgrade the radio rom first and go with a rom that's version 6.1 not 6.5 as most 6.5 roms now pack the Sense application.. (IMO Non-Sense, Senseless (Not enought ram or responsiveness))
Old roms here

Give olinex some cash for his Diamond Unlocker as this is the surefire way to fix it.

The connection between PC and PDA is made, because as I said there is a progress bar on the phone screen too.

As I understand you, you are saying to install later version of Hard SPL right?
So to install a new version of Hard SPL I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one?
And please help me which version of Hard SPL is safest to install? I'm afraid of the developer versions or maybe they aren't so scary
Are you a 100% positive it is the HardSPL?

Presuming from your post, you are using a signed Olinex SPL, i doubt that the rom has been signed be OliNex, the only difference with Dev is you can flash any Rom, flash the Dev one from my thread, nothing to be afraid of
Good Luck

What are the steps of installing new SPL?
Do I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one(somehow)?
UPDATE: I did it, I successfully flashed my Diamond PDA! It seams that the problem was in the SPL I installed 1.40 OliNex Unsigned and it flashed like a charm. Thanks guys for the help. Now this thread can be closed, or do I have to close it myself.
Great!
Glad it all worked out
If you do official Mango update, now you have new SPL version eg. for HTC 7 Pro is v. 3.2, for Mozart is 4,6. These version is not supported by DFT and you can't install HSPL. If you want downgrade to older SPL version you must remember that number for your SPL is in name stock ROM eg. for that ROM: RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3 a_22.36.50.15U version SPL is RED - 1.22. Now when you know, you must:
1. Download older RUU ROM for your device:
- HTC 7 Pro from that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013810)
I don't know what ROM's has SPL supported by DFT for everything device, so you must know what SPL is supported for your device. With certainty older SPL is in NoDo ROM. I can help only with link to developer forum for your device:
- HTC 7 Mozart : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=786
- HTC HD 7 (Schubert) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=783
- Trophy (Spark): http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=812
- Surround (Mondrian): http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=805
2. When unpack you'll see several files and one name is: RUU_signed.nbh - remove this file from folder.
3. Now you must run device in bootloader mode (device off, press and hold vol down (-) and power on - you'll see tricolored screen) and plug device to PC (text down on screen must change from "serial" to "USB".
4. Now run file ROMUpdateUtility.exe with admin rights (right mouse and start as admin) and check box and klik next.
5. Device is update only SPL (2 min.) and restart. When device up, will be erased all data but will be older SPL version.
6. Now you can unplug and plug device to PC and synchronizing with Zune and restore last backup point.
7. If you do everything good now you have older SPL version and you can install HSPL back.
ATTENTION1:
That method don't work on new SPL 4.XX and 5.XX

thx, but i dont find the stock rom for my htc trophy/spark. its mobilkom austria A1 AT branded, so you know where i can download the stock rom for my device?
this will also downgrade your radio! and if you use the ruuwrapper then it will not do a reset. (there is one for the hd7 not sure about the rest).
I've yet to be able to extract the radio only (or spl only) from the rom file and be able to flash it. for now i stil with normal spl to get the updated radio and worry about a downgrade when needed.

You try any german ROM ? If not, you try it.
I got error message 226 and said Flash Error, not sure if it cannot be flashed anymore...... (I mean even in future firmware update in Zune)
SPL 4.6
Hi,
Thank you for sharing, but in my case it doesn't work.
I had a 4.6 SPL version and when I enter in the BootLoader I don't have any USB Mode (or serial mode). Only PD67100 SS-BC (4K).
SO when i launch ROMUpdateUtility.exe the process "Verifying the information on your phone ...." is very long and then I have a [260] error connection.
I'm looking for a way to revert the SPL, thank you for your reply.
Alex

Finally, I think that my phone is "half bricked" like explained here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16189693&postcount=4
So, no solution ?
If your device have one text line in bootloader mode, it's semi-brick the same in that thread.
My solution isn't work for you and I don't know how repair that. Sorry my solution work on every HTC device with new but "normal" SPL.
I'm on SPL 5.1 and no way to go back to an older SPL as it was still possible with 4.6. I'm getting flash error [226] on my HTC Mozart.
So what can I do? The device seems not to be semi-bricked, because all text lines are visible in bootloader mode.
I don't know, how to help you. Have to search.
did any other german branded rom help?
It's not working for HTC Trophy with Bootloader 5.0. I'm finally stucked and have to wait for DFT to update there RSPL/HSPL...hopefully.
Thanks anyway

try this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
Thanks kirk999.
I have once again flashed my backup and went through the updating orgy. But this time without using any hacks and update forces. Now my bootloader is v4.6.
The only problem left: i cannot use any image editing app (fantasia painter, thumba etc) because they are all unable to load any pictures.
I will try it with the link you provided....reminds me of android somehow
Edit: I'm back to the old Bootloader! Thank you all!
I think the best way is to find the older pre mango officail roms for the devices and reflash the entire device.
I would leave the RUU_signed.nbh alone, ok you will reflash the windows part too but that dont matter as you are going to go with the DFT spl and rom away.
Once the rom is downgraded, you can install the spl and install the updated radios manually if you want to.
Next time Budniu if you sugest things please dont give lame answers like i dont know.
Ok look, if I don't know why that method doesn't work with higher SPL in device, so what I can writing ? I do not want to give solutions when I'm not sure. Anyway thank you for your feedback.
Problem
I have a problem, my bootloader version is 5.x.x so when I try to downgrade following instructions in 1 post with this rom RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.23.401.06_5.51.09.06_22.30.50_RELEASE
it stops at 3% and then the message pops ERROR FLASH WRITE. Is there a solution to the problem or ??

The task 00 is for HD7, does it also apply to Trophy or Mozart?
And without task 00, there is no way to flash back the old ROM (reboots at 3%) if the device has a v5.00+ bootloader installed.
error msessage....
