I used a program DiamondUnlocker and I think was for the CMDA version!
It doesn't start anymore, no boot loader, no hard reset! I can't find anything like my problem!
What can I do?

Short of JTAG, there's nothing you can do. But unless you're an engineer, I doubt figuring out JTAG interface will be simple.
JTAG has been done but its still in testing.
I am sorry to hear about your diamond, may it rip. You could use it as a hockey puck...
I think sending to service is your best bet. I am not sure if they will do the work under warranty, but it's worth a shot.
No one has solution for jtag for this model
we made the same mistake ==> phone killed forever.???
this is the first time that i kill a htc ??

Try sending it to HTC. They likely won't know what's wrong either as nobody in their right mind would do what you did .
someone have the JTAG cable config?

yes i also need this cable (jtag)
thx
Me too, by using DiamondUnlocker for CDMA version(h**p://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062), I killed my diamond (gsm?)
Also I thought that there's only one HTC Diamond model, I was wrong &"#?!!!
So others users watch out!! Do not use it!
JTAG config cable setting
Here the one your looking for...
You can run from desktop.. It worked for me..
MOD EDIT.....ITEM REMOVED
Errr are you sure it's jtag config cable setting? It looks like more another SPL to me?
The device is not recognized by windows as connected(usb), so it's not working at all...
Error[260] : connection

Well, it is vibrating, isn't it? Not fully dead then.
Start looking into adb, setting your pc up with that which is probably the way you'll need to go to fix it if it is possible to fix, and wait for glevitan to show up here. He'll do so sooner or later or muikkiman (im almost sure I just killed your nick), even darunion.

I am here....I am showing up...man, you have messed the bootloader. It is a slow way to fix it...and you will have to do it yourself with the steps you will be given in the IRC channel in my signature.
Your phone is not bricked, but is very slow motion....if you leave it for about 20/25 minutes it probably will boot "normally", so you have to fix that first before doing anything. Unfortunately you won´t be able to use the Hack Kit to root the phone as It is gone from XDA....for good

Ok, let´s get things straight, the Hack Kit does not use froyo hboots or flash ENG S-OFF, so if you messed your bootloader YOU did it. Stop blaming someone else for what u have done to your device.
Your motherboard is not damaged...you bootloader is messed. You have to fix that and everything will be working fine...

There´s nothing to excuse you for...but the Hack Kit is not using froyo RUUs so, there´s no chance for the messed bootloader. Do not take the motherboard change....it is not worth the pain. If you wait till I get home, I will lend u a hand, but make sure that u can access to hboot and boot even if it takes 30 minutes...

If the phone is not booting at all...then go for the motherboard...but if it is stuck in the splash, then you have to fix the bootloader. That can be fix as long as the phone boots....

Hey guys . I Picked up a three month old galaxy this morning. I have had problems rooting before but always managed to fix them but this I cannot figure out. Here is exactly what I did and what happened.
1.First I rooted my phone using GalaxyS3RootUSCanadaMac.
2. Downloaded the following, superuser, ezunlock, and rom manager.
3. Flashed clokworkrecovery through rom manager.
4. Unlocked the bootloader with ezunlock
5. Tried to reboot into recovery via clockwork and it would just hang and never reboot.
6. Decided to do a restart , so I clicked power on the right hand side and selected restart.
7. Fell asleep and woke up to a dead phone.
I cannot get it to boot at all , not even in download mode. I get no lights or vibrations when trying to boot. If I remove the battery and hook the usb cord in I get a red light at the top but not with the battery in.
Any info on what I might have done wrong or what I can try to do to fix it would be great.
Thanks in advance guys.

This is completely inapplicable to the i747m, and the reason your phone's bricked.
Unless you can somehow get into download mode, you're going to need a JTAG to recover it.

I believe I read about someone else who used this. The unlocker is made for the Verizon variant. You will need JTAG service to get your phone up and running.

Well getting my phone back today. Thanks for the warranty comments negative nancy.
I've searched and read about this SDS thing ,and i think my phone just had one :crying:
basically it was lying on the table for a few minutes , then i picked it up and tried to start the screen, but nothing happens !
battery removed , charging , sim/sdcard removed ,recovery/download mode didtn show up neither , ALL DID NOT WORK !!!!
its just stuck and wont start up. and it shows that blinking red light near proximity sensor.....
it was perfectly fine a few moments ago but now its just dead.. i am non rooted on stock 4.1.1.
any suggestions please, really in need of the community help now ? :crying:
i've read that in 4.1.2 they fixed it , so is there a way to flash thru Odin while its dead already??
thx
If it IS an SDS, then it's dead and gone. No way to recover. You'll have to send it back to Samsung and they're replace the motherboard. Take your SD card out before you send it.
How do i know it is an SDS ? is there any other specific symptoms that i missed out ?
so far ,nothing worked trying to revive it , black screen with that flashing red (proximity sensor) when i press power or plug it in :crying: .
Did you root it? If not, you can send it back to Samsung for repairs.
Which custom ROM / Kernel were u using before it died ?
Did the kernel has fix for SDS ? like Perseus kernel ?
The recovery your using has SDS fix too ? tell us these details with versions included.

I'm afraid I am on the same boat as you and bad news is they will boot it in download mode and find that the firmware will read 'custom' which means they think you might have rooted the phone and won't repair it free of charge. I am currently looking for ways to deal with them. My case happened in Hong Kong though.....Good Luck to you.

very frustrated from Samsung and their stupid software department , cant believe the user have to look after his device bcos they cant get it right. had my Note 1 on the bricking risk due to that emmc bug as well but i took care of it thanks to xda.

how will they find it on "custom"? i've never rooted the device , never felt the need for it, and did that on purpose to keep the warranty.

I think instead of blaming each other for not updating and what not we should be pointing fingers at samsung for their ignorance in this matter. The least you'd expect from them is their acknowledgement of this serious flaw and compensate the customers by offering recalls and updating the phones at the nearest service centers coz not everyone has time or knowledge to do updates and not to mention this is a mandatory update. So many people get turned away from the service center simply because their phones were rooted which has absolutely nothing to do with the cause of SDS to top it up they're still selling the phones off with the old 4.1.1 rom in most places. Just frustrating. Good luck with you getting your issue resolved.

Update :
i got the phone back today from the service center :victory: :laugh: , they repaired it for almost 300$ , fortunately it went under warranty, so i payed nothing (ive never rooted).
they replaced the chip or the motherboard , i dunno what exactly, but still with the emmc checker app i still have that buggy chip !!!!!
i guess im on the safe side now since samsung pushed DMB2 update here in switzerland (4.1.2.) and it came already installed on my repaired phone. however i cant explain the relief (and frustration at Samsung continuous stupidity with high-end devices), since ive been really struggling without my Note 2 (used a cool but very slow nexus one).
thx for the help guys , cheers.
bricked my LGOG, cant get into recovery and LGNPST wont recognize it when i plug it in when its in download mode. I've decided to just give up and take it in to bestbuy tomorrow. I have the geeksquad protection and i know i cant tell them it was rooted and unlocked. I figure ill just tell them i was doing the ZVC update and the phone died. Well, thats what i did last time so i figure it should work this time. Hopefully, they have more LGOGs in stock, if not ill be moving to an EVO 4G LTE (which isnt all bad since its getting 4.3 by the end of 2k13) or an iPhone 5C. Any recommendations on what I should tell them?

Do you want to give up your LGOG?
1.Are you using USB 3.0 ports? Try it on other USB ports, hopefully 2.0
2.Try another cable
3. Uninstall then reinstall the drivers and LGNPST
4. Use the LGFlashtool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443185
Just some more options for you
Telling the geek squad the update hard bricked... its basicly exactly the same as zvb. I would just try to blame it on hardware...not a bug fix update....or walk tall

3. Uninstall then reinstall the drivers and LGNPST
4. Use the LGFlashtool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443185
Just some more options for you

Telling the geek squad the update hard bricked... its basicly exactly the same as zvb. I would just try to blame it on hardware...not a bug fix update....or walk tall

If i blame it on hardware, what would I blame it on?

Another option for us to use. It will wipe everything including SD. It's like repair shop fixer.

bricked my LGOG, cant get into recovery and LGNPST wont recognize it when i plug it in when its in download mode. I've decided to just give up and take it in to bestbuy tomorrow. I have the geeksquad protection and i know i cant tell them it was rooted and unlocked. I figure ill just tell them i was doing the ZVC update and the phone died. Well, thats what i did last time so i figure it should work this time. Hopefully, they have more LGOGs in stock, if not ill be moving to an EVO 4G LTE (which isnt all bad since its getting 4.3 by the end of 2k13) or an iPhone 5C. Any recommendations on what I should tell them?

If you need help , I willing too take a crack at unbricking it. If you can get the phone into download , just pm me
I had the exact same problem and the exact same best buy protection. They didn't even ask how it happened. They saw that it wouldn't boot and just ordered me a new one. Best insurance available.

honestly, idk. I was walking home, called my mom, the call ended out of no where and i had no data. i restarted the phone, still no data. I went into freegee to try and restore an old EFS backup to see if that would fix it, it said it couldnt restore. Tried to reboot into recovery to restore my CM 10.2 backup and it wouldnt boot.

was running pac 10.20all day no problems...senn new kernel posted...so i downloaded it..went into recovery (twrp 2.6.3)..wiped caches..flashed kernel...hit reboot...phone booted immediately to a blank/black screen no lg logo no animation just blank/black screen.....so im thinking ok bad download or something so i went back to recovery...and it is asking me for a password...now ive never setup any type of encryption or lock so this is new to me and very foreign...as in never seen it before ever and i mean never....so my options are hit cancel or enter a pw..obviously i dont know the pw so i hit cancel...well it goes intorecovery but its locked down cant mounst storage cant mount cache...have tried factory resetting fails saying cant mount storage or cache...tried formatting data...fails saying same things cant mount several things...have tried flashing another recovery,rom,kernel, nothing is working..all fails and never boots.....so i thought let me lgnpst...fails on every bin i have from zvb,zvc,teenybin,says cant rewrite partitions 512 (my number might be off..but was a number for sure)..so then in the process of unplugging phone and turning it off i guess i let it sit there trying to boot up...well finally i see boot animation...but thats as far as it goes...even fastbooot isnt being recognized... have adb pushed roms,recovry,and kernels in last few hrs trying to fix it just fine...but fastboot isnt recognized...just says waiting for devices....so pretty much my phone is a pacman boot animation paper wight right now...if anyone has any help they can offer or insight or even a damn dud yes your screwed would be phenomenal...thanks
