Hi,
I tried to load a HardSPL on my Diamond but it went wrong somehow.
My Diamond was stuck at 75% and everything went blank.
Now I can't power it up and even if I put in the power supply doesn't lid up the light of charging.
Is it dead? Can I throw it away? Or is there something I can do ?
THX
may sound stupid but have you tried to remove the battery
Did you tried a hard reset ??
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
1. download a new rom
2. put your vol down + soft reset button (or power button).
you should come in a color screen?
3. now start customRUU and let is flash.
4. Voila ur device is recovered

How old is your device? Diamond was launched in may 2008 so a big change it isn't older then 2 years. In europe HTC devices come standard with a 24 months warranty.
You could send it in for repair in that case, and since the device isn't booting at all, the changes HTC detects that it died during a 'warranty destroying' procedure are not that big. And if they do they will contact you prior to actual repairing/making costs.
Before throwing it away you could give this a try, nothing to loose huh?
I just updated my Tilt 2 with the Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.May.14.7z; I removed the SD card but forgot to remove the SIM. Now my phone boots up to the AT&T screen only. I'm afraid my phone is no longer operational. Can you please help me restore my phone?
Please do hard reset and do like this link:

Just would like to share after searching on xda-dev
i think the error says
"Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again "
try this and see if it works.
1. Download orginal rom from HTC.com
2. Remove HTC Battery
3. Remove SD-Card
3. Connect the Phone to USB-Computer
4. Start-up the phone in the Tree-color screen
5. If everything is right, in the bottom you will see USB
6. Start-up the update on your computer (rom you've downloaded from htc.com)
7. Run the Update
8. Your phone will boot after it succesfull install
9. Place the battery and SD-Cart back in the Phone

As the title goes I'm wondering if there is a counter which is triggered when root and can not be reversed when unroot.
Its the only thing that stops me (and I suppose I'm not the only one) from rooting in order to debloat & freeze some stuff.

Can root and unroot without issue on this device, no counter that I am aware of. I have gone back to Stock a couple of times now.
Thank you for your answer.
The thing is that I worry for any future update (international D855 is my variant). What / if we realize then that actually there is a counter.
I know it sounds as metaphysics but its just pure ignorance on my behalf.
Go to dialer and digit 3845#*855#, tap to "LG RCT", tap "display Result...this is root counter.

If so, this counter goes back to default value when unroot or showing something that means the phone had been rooted?

On the G2 was always, even after a hard reset or reflashing the firmware. I do not know the G3...i did not root.
Thanks for the code (it seems very helpful): my display result is "Not rooted".
Now that we have an anchor we need the same info from a G3 user who unroot or went back to stock...
Hey,
I entered the 845#*855# code and now im in the hidden menu but I'm stuck there?
The phone is very slow and doesn't respond to anything I do. I even unplugged the batteries for a few minutes but it always boots up in the AAT mini OS 3.1 hidden menu.
When I press Normal Boot (+power) or any other options nothing happend but only red crosshairs appear?
How can I reset my phone now???
I tapped the code but nothing like that happened. After I check for root I just went back & and back again on my dial.
Is your phone a 855 (as in the hidden menu) or a 400 variant?
Other than that I can't think of.
digit 855 for european model, 400 for the Corea

Probably if you run root with Geohot app the counter does not write rooted or reset after hard reset...i do not know...on the Galaxy S5 with Geohot app the Knox contour does not advance.
Thanks for the reply. It would be good to have an answer from an owner who rooted already - better still if returned to stock for some reason.
I'll wait for a while before I try it myself reading about the two alternatives for rooting I came across in this forum.

It doesn't change it when you go back to stock. I had performed a factory reset and it still shows the time and date of my first root.

only way around seams a complete restore try doing this
I don't have the links to the tread where I got these from but lets just hope I don't get banned.
1) go to download mode
2) install this and download the correct .kdz file for your phone
-Modelnumber is ...
-serial number is your imei number
- wait until the download is done
3) run the lgflashtool2014.exe from this zip
-Select type= cdma
-phone mode= Diag
-reset time=33000
-Should be like this when You run it
-select kdz file= is where you need to find the kdz file you just downloaded(step 1)
-then press cse flash
-in the now pop-up window select start
-select your language
-ignore error (cannot connect to lg server)
-check progress on phone up to 100% then boots in recovery installs and restarts
-wait untill it goes to the welcom screen then you can unplug
-now the most inportant step Like my post
to enter download mode do this:
--You must switch off the device to start the process.
--Then press and hold the “Volume Up” and connect the USB cable from phone to PC.
--Use the original USB cable. Because, other device’s cable may not be detected in the Computer. So, only we recommend it to use the original-- one that you got it when you bought the phone.
--Wait for the driver installation on PC.
--Then you will get the download mode screen in your phone.
--That’s it.

When i try to record 4k video the phone turns off, but i found out when its connected to a charger it records nicely
and when i disconnect the charger(while recording)
The flash LED starts to blink slightly and the the phone turns off.
I Did a factory reset today, but before the factory reset the video would record to about 25 seconds and then turn off..
EDIT!:
now it sometimes just turns off and gets stuck in a bootloop (Again, No custom ROM or any Root)
and i need to connect my charger in order to Turn on the phone.
P.S: I Checked via a multimeter and my battery outputs more than 4.2Volts instead of 3.8v...

Looks like you need to try and replace the battery, good job our trusty LG G3 has a user replaceable battery, have you tried doing factory reset? or flashing a stock firmware via kdz?

Factory reset? all of that happened after a factory reset :/ (Before the factory reset i could record a 4K video for about 20-30 seconds and then the phone will siply turn off and then turn on)
Can I flash a firmware without rooting the phone?
After another factory reset the phone can not operate more than 2 seconds without a charger...

Think you need to flash a fresh firmware and see if that fixes your issue as it might not be the battery by the sounds of it, please use the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
If that still doesn't work then try a new battery.
The above method does not require root.

I Still need to try and replace the battery.
Here are my battery details
I was using my phone like I usually do, and then it suddenly froze. So I held down the power button, forcing it to restart. Ever since, the screen only shows "Google" for a while, then becomes blank; no booting animation. It would restart itself occasionally.
I tried booting into recovery mode by holding Power+VolDown, and selecting "recovery mode". For the first few tries, it would go back to the Google screen, the turn blank. After giving it a break and trying again, I finally got to the "no command" screen, and I wiped the cache partition. Sadly, I'm still having the same problem.
Is this a bootloop? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This happened to me and Google sent a replacement phone. However the replacement phone is a refurbished phone that suffers from ghost touches Now trying to get a replacement for the replacement.

The bootloader allows the phone to be unlocked to flash custom ROMs on it, without it unlocked you'll brick your phone. Read up about rooting your phone first so you can get the idea of what goes into it before attempting it. Once you get the general idea of unlocking the phone and flashing things on it, it becomes relatively easy. There's even a nexus root toolkit on this forum that you can download on your computer for free as well as "how-to's" for doing it

No is not necessary, but in order to re flash the factory image to fix the problem the bootloader must be unlocked. You never have to root your device but having a unlocked bootloader is essential to flashing anything on your device other wise like I said, you'll brick your phone. You can even lock it back to full stock once you've re flashed the image.
Edit: there's another way of flashing the factory image but it requires some searching. You might not be able to do it the way I'm explaining to you Because you would have to give it permission to be unlocked in the developers option while the phone is booted up and operative

When u first bought your phone and it takes you through the set up window, when it asked you to put in your email, that right there backs up all your apps that you previously had in the phone so when you go through the setup again, it's going to ask you if you want to start as a new phone or recover your previous apps. You won't be able to recover all of your data but you should be able to recover all of your apps.
