ok my xda locks up (nothing new there!) soft rest and all i get is a white screen! try again and the same thing happens. So i decide to do a hard reset. This appears to be working until it's loading applications and settings (O2) when it hits a .per file (i think) and tells me i need to find the source .cab file.
the 2 choices i then have are ok or cancel, niether work the bloody thing is locked up again! so i soft rest it and it's back but with no O2 settings. I try and run a back up from my pc and it all works apart from about 15 files that it cannot reinstall (mainly to do with contacts). I then sync my contact list as that is missing and all looks good! 2 days configuring it back to my liking and all looks good once again!
This morning no alarm to wake me up (bugger im now half hour late for work! lol) the xda had been on charge all night and it appears to be dead! All i can see is the O2 logo like you get at start up but with no back light. the unit does not respond to anything. I've tried taking the battery out, soft and hard reset all with no response! I try and put it back on charge and all i get is the red light come on for 2 mins then go off again! can't turn it on while on charge!
Please help as phoning O2 is really like banging our head against a brick wall!
thanks guys
i'm not to sure but i would say you have two options either download the rom from the o2 website or download the rom Modified_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_V1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar i installed it yesterday and i haven't had any problems hope this helps
ty but if i cant turn the phone on or connect it to the pc how can i do that????
i might give O2 a call anyway and see what they say. they might offer me a new one which is always good!
o2 could offer you a new one but i read somewhere on this site that the xda IIi has been discontinued so they might upgrade to the xda exec
When I first got my 2i, I had it for a week and then out of the blue it decided to do this after a soft reset one day - got stuck at the O2 splash screen, no backlight, frozen forever. Had to take the battery out to turn it off.
Took it into the shop, the store manager said "yeah, we've seen this happen more than once", and just went into the storeroom and got a me a brand new one.
This did happen the day after I'd run the simunlock tool found on this forum, which worked successfully (I tried my Virgin mobile SIM in it and it worked first time, but I then took it back out and put my O2 SIM back in)... I'm not sure if it was just coincidence or what, but I'm not feeling too eager to run simunlock on my Alpine again until I sell it
thanks guys i thought it might be fried!
called last night but got cut off and then was after 7 so couldn't speak to anyone! :evil:
will try again and see what they say!
when i put it on charge it charges for a few mins then turns onto splash screen for a few mins then turns off and charges again and so on in a loop! really quite annoying! lol
Another thing to try is to put the device into bootloader mode and force a firmware upgrade. It can be connected to the PC but it will no longer use Activesync so the upgrade will work fine.
Once this is done it will be using more up to date firmware if you download the ROM from this sites FTP and should work better in general.
well carphone craphouse couldnt do anything with it so has had to go back to O2 went on the 10th dec and still no word
Guys,
I'm in front of a peculiar problem in my HTC Touch diamond; it started around 2 weeks back when I powered on the device it got stuck up at the point where it displays "Touch Diamond" in white fonts in black background...normally, after this point the version details flash in red font at the bottom right corner... But in this case it's getting stuck up at this point not displaying the version details like R 1.09.25.23 …. etc.
assuming that the battery charge is low, I put the device on charging, then after flashing the centre (round) button white light twice or thrice, the device start reboot again and again got stuck up at the "Touch diamond" point, if I continue to charge the set, this cycle starts repeating endlessly.
Then, to check, I got the battery charged in an external charger for 24 hours, and also procured a thick battery (Model. DIAM171, Rating: 3.7 V DC & 1340 mAh) too, and kept the device open for 48 hours or so. The device started smoothly and was functioning well for next ten days.
Then this insect called "new ROM" started biting my brain (?), and at first I had flashed an unsigned hardSPL v1.40 Olinex. Then Radio 1.09.25.23 and then the Sone wwe 2.1. All the flashes were done individually, and successfully.
And by the way, I'm no monkey to this flashing thing too, of course, the courtesy and credit goes to the whiz kids of XDA-Developers for the learning imparted on me. Earlier I'd flashed i mate KJam, then HTC ARTEMIS successfully too.
But, alas, after running the new rom nicely for a few calls, and after one more soft reset, it has come back to square one. That is, "when I powered on the device it got stuck up at the point where it displays "Touch Diamond" in white fonts in black background...normally after this point the version details flash in red font at the bottom right corner... But in this case it's getting stuck up at this point not displaying the version ......"
Please help...friends.... plzzzzzzzzzzzz...help....
By the way, the device is going to the Bootloader smoothly on pressing the volume down button while soft reset.
I tried hard reset the device by pressing the round button and the volume down button while soft reset the device and did hard reset it successfully. Still the problem remains.. plz buddy, plz help...
Yep, found your post...after replaying to ur PM
But I'll post here my answer in case that anyone else could also been interested in it:
"Sorry to hear this issue, although I haven't seen this post in the forum...
Ok. based on your story I think that this issue has nothing to do with the cooked rom you've flashed.
It seems more like an SPL problem. I'd suggest to flash the latest HSPL, the 1.93 one.
Till now none complained about such kinda issue... They bricked the phone or they didn't...But such kind of intermediate behavior never heard...
An other suggestion, try to flash with a branded ROM (try downloading the latest official for ur device).
Waiting for ur feedback.
Good luck!"
at last my Diamond is working again...
Warm regards to Shaks1979 & SeatOne for ur kind and quick response... anyway, my diamond is working again......Yeterday... I had started flashing the Radio... earlier the Radio version was 1.00.25.03 (that came with my phone from the factory) which was upgraded to 1.09.25.23 as the ROM Cooker i.e. Seatone is too using this radio ( SONE v.2.1 WWE by SeatOne)
Yesterday, I flashed the Radio version 1.00.25.05 and the phone started working again.
Guys, as soon as the phone started working, I had flashed two more roms, just to understand what went wrong, & the ROMs are (v6.4FullHDTFl by christonge) and (XBMOD_V2 by xboxmod). The flashings went smoothly. At this moment my phone is on XBMOD_V2 Rom & Radio 1.00.25.05.
After seating back, I tried to understand what went wrong, why the phone was not going beyond "Touch Diamond" display point (in white font) and getting stuck up at that point before the R.... G..... etc version details appear on the screen with font colour red and background black.
The problem was with the Radio 1.09.25.23; but the mechanism of the problem went tangentially above my head, I'm in total darkness. Guys, can anyone of you genius can throw some light.
I shall wait for your inputs in the matter.
I have the same problem. After rebooting ok it goes to start up and gets stuck at the touch diamond screen with info about the radio and stuff in red. It won't turn on for me to re-flash it.
So you just fully charged it and left it a while without the battery in then tried again and it worked
Any help would be great... 8-s
Hi , ive had the issue with randomly being stuck in the SPL a few weeks ago but the problem seemed to just go away by itself . Yesterday i flashed a ROM and noticed that after the first or second reboot i was getting stuck at the boot screen (Not the SPL the screen after that with the info in red) .
Today i flashed back to my current ROM and noticed the same problem again when installing programs one cab would fail and all other installs after that . When i rebooted i got stuck at the boot screen (again not the SPL)
so after another try i finally got all programs installed and rebooted but when i reached the today screen my background was gone and i got an exception about the programs in the startup folder not being found .
After opening file explorer it seems most programs are corrupt and will not run . Has anyone got any ideas on what i should try to fix this ?
Update im afraid its not good news i tried to work around the problem with sprite backup but things seem to have got worse .
Im now permanently stuck at the smart mobility screen with my radio information being displayed in red . Ive tried flashing a new rom and hard reseting which is all perfectly stable but i just cant get past the smart mobility screen .
Whats weird is the led on the left is blinking green , Any ideas before i downgrade (tiltscreen) to a Sony X1 (Dpad and hardware buttons)
Similar...May Help Some

Hi there,
We didn't get there the same way, and I don't have the 'blinking green' LED, But I've got a similar "stuck" problem on the Forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508100
I'll follow yours and you can check this one out...I may be getting some help from 'higher powers' soon if I don't find a resolution on my own.
Wish I could actually ANSWER your question, and I'll let you know if I find anything else myself...
On the un-bricked road less traveled,

Am ok this is weird everythings back to normal now I turned it on this morning and it boots up fine no problems installing programs or anything .
Confused
That's Good...Though Agreed Confusing...News
Wow...so, good for you! I'm happy that your's did not proceed as mine has...or better said, has NOT.
Wish mine would just 'turn on and boot up fine', but it appears that I may be Murphy's bastard child.
Murphy has a theory of relativity that has nothing to do with Mass or the Speed of Light...
It simply states that if you're a relative of Murphy's, it WILL happen to YOU...hence the offspring reference.
On the other hand, confusion can be good...I'll bet it had you searching the Forum and finding out stuff you didn't know.
If nothing else, maybe you found some cool new ways to get into completely different kinds of trouble!
Glad to see your out of the glitch, hang in there...not by your neck!

I know some of my questions were probably covered in other threads. But I would like to go ahead and explain my case and see if anybody could help me. Any help will be appreciate it.
I recently moved and I was having problems with the reception at my new place. I tried different things. I contacted at&t and they said it could be my SIM card. I replaced it 2 times and that didn't fix the problem. I have always used the stock radio. I got so frustrated I starting flashing new radios to see if I can get an improvement on the signal. I flashed all the radios I found available for my phone. Basically anything older than my current radio will just give me 1 to 2 bars the most. Any radio newer than mine will give me full bars but will not be stable. The bars will fluctuate from 0 to 4 in a matter of minutes without me moving my phone. I had always used EnergyRom until a few months ago, when I started using PrimeV. I never had any problem with any of these ROMs. After flashing radios I realized there was an extra splash screen on my phone. A black screen with while letters: "Touch Diamond2" and at the bottom the radio number. I had never seen this screen before and I tried to remove it by flashing different ROMs, but it didn't go away. I then decided to flash my phone back to stock and flashed both the stock radio and stock ROM. After doing so, I noticed 4 screens will show up before my phone will display my home screen. The first screen is my carrier screen, white screen with at&t logo on it. The second screen is the radio screen, black screen with the Touch Diamond2 letters on it. The third screen is a HTC white screen. The last screen is a black windows mobile screen.
Here is my question. How can I restore my phone back to manufacture? I know how to restore the SPL and flash the stock ROM. I just can't figure out how to flash the stock radio without having that extra splash screen with the Touch Diamond2 letters on. I found a few threads that show you how to flash your own splash screen or change your current one. But I just want them gone. Except for the ones that the phone came with.
I want my phone to be back exactly as when I bought it so I can use the warranty.
Thank you in advance.
just flash it with the stock rom and the black screen will disapeared.
I already flashed at&t's stock room and the black screen didn't go away.

4.Flash Energy Rom & You Should Be Good To Go
Hope This Helps!!!
thank you i will hop on it n try that..
Are there other start up images available?
Along the same lines, are there different start up or boot up images available for the TP2? I've searched a bit but not knowing exactly what this initial screen was called I had no luck with this.
I'm using a T-Mobile TP2 that has the white background with pink square and the words "stick together" on it that I'd really like to see go away. It hasn't been replaced when I've loaded the few ROMs that I've tried so far onto my TP2. So I obviously haven't tried the Core Cell ROM yet?
I've got ORD like a lot of other people here and probably will get around to trying it out one of these days.
Any suggestions?

Its called the boot splash, or splash screen. So when you boot the phone, there is a splash screen, an animation, then another splash screen.
You can use Advanced Config to change the boot animation and the 2nd splash, to a .png (maybe other image formats) and .gif, respectively. But I believe the first splash (which is usually the carrier splash) can only be changed by flashing a new one using the usual RUU tool that is used when flashing a ROM, radio, or Task29. If you do a search for boot splash, you will find some different ones to flash.
original splash
i had the same problem. core splash was still there after i switched roms. this helped. connect via WMDC or active sync, unzip and run this exe. works like a charm.
Yeah, finally
Thanks.
