bricked my GSM diamond with CDMA

hi folks,
seems to be that i have a BIG problem...
my t-mobile diamond had some heavy connection problems the last days (apart from this battery sucking system that made me charge it twice a day), so i decided to install both a new radio rom and a new WM rom on it.
after all those attempts didnt work (yes, i've read the threads and yes, i've followed the instructions! ), i got the ****ING IDEA to follow the instruction shown on youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGibMZC7-g (see also forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062) for a CDMA diamond. don't ask why, i thought that i could own a cdma phone as all of the gsm software didn't work... :-//
during step no. 1 (unlocking - yes, i wanted to do the whole programm! :-/ ) my diamond switched off and ... is dead now! no chance to switch it on, no chance to get into bootloader, no chance to hardreset...
now my question to the pros: do i have ANY chance to reanimate my diamond? i would be grateful for any ideas!!! thanks in advance,
p.p.

have you tried vol down and soft reset simultaneously?

yes, didnt work...

Try a hard reset. If that doesnt work see if you can enter bootloader. Instructions can be found in a search.

thanks, but as i've already written, both doesn't work. my diamond is simply... DEAD! :-(

yep looks like it

anyone ANY idea to get my diamond back to life?

my frind i think you nead a new mb so you must go to htc service

It was quite common, when people were looking desperately for SU and were using CDMA soft.. Sorry to say this, but your diamond is a brick now, and only motherboard replacement will do. there are some hardcore people on this forum who are rescuing such phones, but I'm not sure if they are still operational. Search for JTAG on teh forum, or send it to the service. If it;s on guarantee, then you should be fine, as they shouldn't be able to determine what happened. Otherwise you can always zap the phone with a stunner, and presto, phone ready for guarantee.

your phone is dead bro, i will be willing to buy it from you, i need peices to fix mine, pm me if interested

hey dude, dont worry..u're like the umpteeth guy who did it..just refer to this forum forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-488687.html..haha

I have long time ago also installed a CMDA-ROM accidentally. When the flashing procces ended I just got only the slpash screen (black without Rom Version Information).
I thought my Diamond was bricked but i could not believe it . After i had performed a hardware reset several times i used mitty and i could flash a ROM.
Now i have mostly a ROM as backup on my storage-card this in case it will go wrong during flashing procces.

can only get to download mode on my e980 but now i cant not flash back to stock

ive tried the lg flash tool with both the files it worked before last time i got soft bricked well i flashed that stock kit kat for the f whatever series that is on the e980 dev it flashed a diff recovery on my phone now i cant get to revcovery and download mode fails after it not being a e890 device anymore sorry i have been up all night trying to fix this and now im completly stuck.download mode fails after it not being a e890 device anymore sorry i have been up all night trying to fix this and now im completly stuck. download failed 5 sec says the pid number imei number and then device model is different check phone or dll f0000002

What Rom did you install the stock 4.4 zdk or the sphinx 4.4 flashable Rom?

i flashed the sphinx 4.4 flashable Rom idk why it installed a recovery with it couldnt see sd card then when tried flashing another e980 rom it wouldnt let me said i had the wrong device or something idk im pissed about to smash it

i was on a cwm before but it ended up flashing a new one and thats when i started having problems now no recovery stuck at lg logo and i know my battery is low

The first thing I would do is pull your battery, wait a few minutes, put the battery back in and connect the charging cable. It may not want to boot but it will charge the battery while the phone is off. Get your battery charged first, then worry about getting it up and running again.
Keep in mind I'm not picking at you or anyone. But why would someone choose to flash a Rom designed for one version to another version? I know our devs make tweaks to allow one to run on the other but it's a chance I wouldn't take. If you have the E980, stick to E980 Roms. It's risky enough flashing Roms as it is because no two devices are the same. You know what I mean? And don't smash you phone. There are many smart people here that can get you up and running again. Smash the phone and you will be upset with yourself later....trust me. I did it and I was pissed at myself later when I found out it was easy to fix....stay calm....lol

i know i knew i should not have idk ive been flashing zips for a very long time guess it happened to still get the best of me even though i read through the thread and i seen a couple e980 users saying it worked haha well not for me i just hope i can get her back up and going soft bricks are ok its when i cant fix this that makes me crazy. slammed around my dual monitors and almost went after my evga build which would not have been good. Man i can not thank u enough i even had to make another account my old one was lows10 and i guess it was inactive for to long but been here since 07 only place i trust to exploit my devices.

Well I'm not the smartest person here. I just got this phone about a month ago and I haven't even got flashing it back to stock down pat yet. It's a work in progress....lol. But just get your battery charged for now. Then you will most likely have to flash it back to stock. I don't know if you have done this process yet on that phone but if you have then you know basically what you need to do. Just don't go flashing any more Roms made for other versions of the g pro....lol

this will be my 3rd time flashing back to stock but with my phone not being read as a e980 i cant get back to stock.

Did you use the Lg Flash Tools method?

Yes lg flash tool has worked perfect until now after that ROM

Ok. Give this method a try....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459825....I don't know if it will work for ya as it didn't work for me. But hey, you gotta try something and maybe you will get luck and it will work for you. Give it a go and see what happens.

Lol idk it thinks its a g2 then it FCS

Tricky bugger it's gonna be ah? Did you try running it in Administrator mode? Be sure to follow the steps exactly as he lays them out.

Well in the left it says lge988at maybe thats why it isnt working with the lg flash? Grrrr idk this sucks and it keeps stopping working and its not in english

It has to be on com 41. I have noticed the lg flash tools method can be hit and miss with allot of people. I finally got it down pat enough to get it to work every time. You could try doing it this way........http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476........He gives a link to a newer lg flash tools. Maybe you will have better results.

damn it still closes with that its right after it gets done loading my phone i guess i cant flash a e988 stock and see if that works? thats what it reads it as right before it closes idk maybe its cause 8.1 but dont think so the app doesnt even open in english idk seems like everyone elses is.

Honestly I don't know why it isn't in English. It is for me but I'm on the stock E980 FW. All I can think is you, somehow, flashed the Korean version of the F240. Just as a precaution I keep a flashable stock 10k on my sd card just in case the need for it arises. But not being able to get into recovery isn't helping your cause here. Keep an eye on the battery as well. If it starts draining down too far just power it off and let it charge more so you don't get so involved with the phone you forget. The problem for me is I'm more of a hands-on person. it's harder for this type of person to walk someone through fixing a gadget.....lol.
An honestly man, I don't know how else to help you. Hopefully someone allot smarter than me is gonna come along any minute now that will know exactly how to fix this issue. All I can suggest now is to keep searching the forum for this type of problem and find a solution. Just don't lose your temper or give up. The solution is here somewhere. I'll search around too. See what I can dig up.

exactly what i thought man ahhh and idk why its not in english either i mean im on my pc there should be no reason for it not to work. Idk I appreciate all your help. havent been in trouble like this since back years and years ago on the old first gen g1 hahahah. and ya flashing the Korean version of the F240 is what i did i really hope there is a way to fix this i had a backup but external sd card quit working so tranfered it on the phone when it still worked flashed back seemed fine went to try flash the e980 baseband and still no good now im just stuck. tempted to try and see if the e988 will work since it wont flash the stock e980 sorry for keep on talking im just going crazy.

It's all good man. I understand your frustration. I have been doing this for a long time now as well. Most of my experience is with moto's and Samsungs. Now I'm learning all over again with another phone myself. But anywho, yeah, give that a try. Flash the e988 if you can. At least if it works you can get into your recovery and sd card to try and flash it back to stock from there and be back on the E980 fw. It's like going around your ass to get to your elbow but hey, if it works who cares right?.....lol. And if you get it working again I suggest putting a flashable stock zip on your sd card just in case. But as I said before, It doesn't help if you cant get into recovery. But when you can it can be a life saver.
I do remember reading there are permission issues if you're running windows 8 or 8.1 on that last method I linked you to. You may want to look into how to overcome that issue and try again. If you haven't already that is.

Hmm at least it says e980 now but can't get past this

boot issues CM11 M10

Hey guys !
I haven't used my DHD for a while but last weekend a friend lost his phone and asked me to borrow my good ol DHD.
So I thought I would update it to CM11 but there seems to be an issue with it.
I made a clean install of CM11 M10 Rom with PA gapps Pico
I had troubles booting but finally worked after a while. Managed to install some apps and gave the phone to my friend.
I told me today that the phone wouldn't stop rebooting to the HTC screen but wouldn't fully boot.
I'm not so much familiar with what's going on with the DHD since I haven't used it for almost 2 years.
I've search the thread of the rom but couldn't really find anything.
If anyone has an idea on what might but the problem, it would be great to know so my friend can have a working phone.
Cheers !

If S-ON than it's obvious. If not than out of my league. Probably update recovery or radio could possibly sort out your problem.
Though can you please share Hboot image of your device.

No, as far as I know it's s-off. I updated recovery before flashing. Don't know about radio. And I don't know how to share Hboot either...

[Q] Restore Xperia Arc To Stock Rom (Ics) From Cm9

Hi ,
I need some help in resolving issues with my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (LT18i). sorry for big post.
I searched over this and CM forums for similar issues/detailed stapes, but failed. please forgive if its same dumb question asked by several people, but right direction will be helpful.
I have loaded Cynogenmod on my mobile, but now I want to goto stok firmware. Please guide me the steps for noob. Small back ground:
My bro bought this phone a year back and felt its slow and struck some times. So, I collected it from him and want to resolve issues . observed that there is a lag while opening dailer sometimes and sometimes after dailing number it takes approx 5-7 minutes to start dailing. so, wanted to resolve it .
What I did: I read a guide for rooting talk dot sonymobile website and rooted using Eroot_V1.3.4. (also unlocked bootloader using sony official code from website developer.sonymobile as suggested at cyanogenmod wiki Install_CM_for_anzu)
Finally I got Cynogenmod on my mobile. but I observed many bugs in it. the Slow/lagging problem still exists.
Yesterday when I tried to switch on bluetooth, the mobile went crazy. it automatically rebooting for every 3-5 minutes.
I went to recovery mode, tried different options, no use.
Actually I have taken backup before installing cynogenmod (cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip).
I took backup in view of going back, if some thing goes wrong. I thought it is the offical stock ware backup(rooted,unlocked and CWM added stock).So, just want to go back and tried to restore it. After sometime CWM restore completed when i rebooted system is up without any message on screen , I can see mobile is on by light.no flash screen nothing. after 10 minutes, I had to got back to latest backup of Cynogenmod.
Now I can see mobile is starting and CWm loaded but started rebooting loop. Then as a last try I have wiped cache/data.
Now my mobile is working but sometimes getting rebooted.
So, in this situation I want to go back to stock rom.
Please advise me how to go back. I dont need unrooting or unlocking boot loader. Just going back to stock is fine.
the dailer lag, dailing lag are ok for now. Please help.
Thanks,
Aditya

Dear SGY,
Thanks for quick answer.I checked the link suggested.I have downloaded the firmware link provided in that link. But I am confused whether it suits my situation or not.
I am worrying that if something go wrong my mobile might brick.
the reason for worry is as I already had cynogenmod. is that ok ?
one more question is that in CWM i have taken backup before installing cynogen mod. Is it not stock firmware ? If no, is that data backup ?
If it is data backup, can I restore that backup after following steps to get back stock firmware.
Sorry for too many questions.

thank you. now i could revert back my firmware. need to check how works

just found my sprint s3 rooted w/4.3 wicked project

i just found my phone while moving.. charged it and forgot how cool all the mods were.. was gonna give it to my daughter with the pink theme. but then i started to check on everything and noticed a bunch of apps dont workl. tried updating some of the ones i could. but phone really started running slow. i know it was the last version of jellybean. so i want to update phone and get her a different rom.. but it has been awhile and i cant find original tar file. ive been looking through posts in development and found a kitkat one,but it says to update bootloader first. so im guessing that it is just the firmware. i need the whole stock file.. it should include the bootloader in there right? also i tried to update through flashfire but says my supersu isnt new enough.. cmon 7 years old isnt that old.. sorry.. but i really havent done this in awhile. if i uninstall supersu. then redownload it from playstore will it be updated? i think its built into the rom though. does that mean i gotta extract from system apk? ugh... this is kinda fun messing with this thing all over again. she might not get it.. jk. just want her to be able to use without any issues. would be nice if it stayed roooted. then i could change themes and stuff for her.. but if not stock it is.. she just turned 10.. so this will be her first phone...help would be greatly appreciated. thank you for your time in reading this long post.. sorry. Could def use some help trying to get this running right.
