HI all! It will be more then great if anybody can help me.
The story is simple one guy decide to unlock his Diamond throw some free way ( I don't know how exectly ) he end with error 260 and DEAD Diamond.
The device does not get into bootloader when pressing Vol_- + reset.
Now this Diamond in my hands.
Can anyone please advice what can I do? can I flash ROM?
P.S. this phone are new and Orange UK branded.
Please help and sorry for my poor English.

You mention you can not get into boot loader by pressing
Vol_- + reset.

On the Diamond you can access bootloader by jsut reseting and holding down the "Vol Down" Key only...
Try this and report back.

Where is this error 260 indicated ? If the ROM starts up and shows some error, the bootloader will work for sure.

try to make an hard reset by press vol down + central button + reset.
maybe you have to use mtty but I can't help you cause I never use it...

That what I told volume down + reset not working with this phone. It is in another one which I have here.
The phone doesn't show any signs of life, I think I need test point or maybe JTAG way to repair it......
Any suggestions?

I don't know I got this phone it this condition with a story about this error.
I don't actually know what happened, but I believe that this phone bricked down in the middle of unlocking process.

Have you tried another battery?

2. with a fully charged battery, reset your device (hard reset) press Volume down + centre round button + soft reset(behind battery cover) all at the same time, release soft reset but keep holding volume down + centre button. You should now have a white screen advising you what to do to complete the hard reset.

Only to make a bit easy this step cause in this way one would be an octopus , soft reset your device with stylus and then, within 3 seconds, hold Vol down + centre round button until you see the tricolour screen. Release the buttons and follow the instructions (Press Vol Up to restore to manufactured settings).

This is the typical case when someone didnt do his homework. Im sure you didnt read the stickies. Poeple be warned, flashing your device can kill it if you dont have a clue on what you are doing. Ive seen a bunch of n00bs bricking their devices just because the didnt read the forum. This question has been ansewred a lot.

sorry friend to hear but i have one solution may be it can work u just flash hard spl v 1.93 olinex from here:http://ficca.bounceme.net/download/HARDSpl_Diamond_OliNex_1.93_Unsigned.zip just flash this hspl and after flashing this u can flash any rom but now u just flash this hspl if u got 100% then ur prob is solve so pls tell me what happen after that hope every thing will be alright good luck

Error 260 is a USB communication error. Did this happen during sim unlock or during hardspl install because the thread title says one thing and your post says another.

Hey charly, i flashed my phones many times, i've bricked it , got stuck on the tricolour screen.... but this time it's different... the phone it's completely dead... no light .. not charging no tricolour .. nothing:S

try this method for ur diamond
first remove ur battery form ur device and press the power button for 20 seconds . so it will discharge the power from ur device. after that put ur battery and press volume - and power on button to enter boot loader ... dont press reset button to enter bootloader ok !! hope this works for u , best of luck.

[Q] volume and power buttons lagging !!!!

well about 3 weeks ago every thing was going very well i'm using CM7.1 ( stable ) with the latest kernel and updated lib files when suddenly i noticed that my volume and power buttons doesn't work from the first click some times i have to press like 6 of 7 times to get it to work and it's really frustrating i thought if i re flashed a new rom i'm thinking CM7 RC3 maybe will fix this issue but while i was in the recovery screen the volume buttons were also lagging so i think it's not a software related issue am i right ? !! or reflashing a new rom and kernel well fix the problem
oh and i still have 2 monthes remaining in my 1 year warranty so if i asked them to fix my phone ( if it's a hardware related issue ) will they tell me it's rooted it's out of warranty ? !!
thanks in advance

same here....power and vol buttons have to be pushed multiple times to register click....in recovery too...i think its not a soft related problem....

Looks like ur volume and power buttons have been used extensively to boot into recovery and flashing roms & kernels !! NICE !!
Rooting does not void you from certain hardware warranty and warranty on accessories(as i recall i read this somewhere while reading endlessly before rooting)..
This policy may vary from one country to another..but give it a shot..to be on the safer side unlock ur bootloader(though it will say relocked) and unroot ur phone before visiting the customer care..Best of Luck !!

My buttons are fu***ed too. :X

[Q] DHD is dead? No bootloader anymore

Who think he/she can help me?
I was trying to completely clean my DHD for my girlfriend. So I wiped is all off via all the information on this forum.
Tried to flash ROM, RUU, Bootloader and Kernel. (after some advices)
Now I have a big problem I think....
I cannot get into my bootloader anymore, my DHD is starting with HTC logo and then continues with Android startup and keep hanging in there.
Vol. down + Power is not getting me into bootloader.
Flashing from CMD does not seem to work either because I cannot get the DHD to connect via USB. (cable is connected to DHD and laptop)
If you can help me.... my girlfriend and I would be much gratefull.
Greetings,
Remco

I pulled my battery for about 8 hours, so the length of pulling does not seem to be issue.
But again thanks for helping to find a solution.

what i know is accessed to the phone bootloader it just have two optional way..
first...with pressing and hole volume down+power
second..with adb command while the phone is already booting inside the rom..and off course with already enabling USB debugging too in system settings..
if both way doesn't work to access your bootloader...i think the last change is you must flashing it again the from beginning with RIFF BOX hardware and JTAG software if you have it..or take the phone to services center of HTC..
sorry...can't help more than this..

Does your phone vibrate (4x or 7x) when you turn it on?

It vibrates ones when showing the HTC startup logo.
I am gonna try

Going to a HTC service centrer wont help I think..... Isnt it like "changing the software yourself will exclude HTC help"??

the problem is you must find a 3rd party phone services placed on your country that are already have a riffbox or jtag hardware to flashing your phone from the beginning..

I cannot try this, because I dont have a RIFF box. This is hardware.

yap..RIFFBOX is a flashing hardware..
yes i know..if you already broken your phone cause of changing software by your self..htc will not recover your phone under they warranty
you already had loosing your phone warranty.. but i think that's not mean they can't help and fix your phone..off course without warranty (if they already know or detected that you already fault your warranty) then they will charge you with some of cost..
if so..with the hope of luck..then you can try brought your phone to the htc service center..then let they're analyst your phone and make decision about your valid warranty..who knows you already lucky then they don't know what are you already do it previously to that phone..
note : this all mean that's if your DHD is still recover under warranty by time..right..
hopefully your DHD will fixed soon..and good luck..

Apx mode is normally the final farewell, your phones end of life and you will need a replacement motherboard.

Next time you can make a video it means your own device is back into APX again
It does not prove anything, do you even know what those button combo's do....they reboot the device. Some came out of apx because they rebooted the hox about 100 times....some after 1.
Give me more info about what you think because just rebooting is not the solution !
Good lock ... or is it luck ?
