Bricked my Diamond any Fix?

Hello
today i installed an application from untrusted source and it bricked my HTC touch diamond
it gets stock for 5 mins on the htc logo screen then displays "the device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source, Press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel, this operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings."
i pressed all the buttons on my diamond but none works.
i would really be grateful if anyone helps me to fix my HTC (without erasing all the data if possible)
thanks for your time

have you tried a hard reset?

I can Hard reset it but is there any other way to fix it without losing the data or any way to copy the data to my PC while the device is bricked?
thanks

If you are able to reset your phone via a hard reset, it is not bricked. Backup people!

back up..........
and back up again

Whats the best way to back up?
Thanks

I'd recommend SKKV tols along with PPC PIM backup (don't forget about your registry.
you can find a lot of freeware backup apps over at freewareppc

Resco Backup is awesome if you don't mind paying a few bucks... How much is your valuable data worth to you?

I fixed my device thanks a lot for your help everyone!

You can enter the bootloader and connect it via USB there.
Enter + up on volume + stylus should enter a tri-color screen.

how can I Upgrade my Xda II if my camera and record button is broken? :(

Help, help!!!! (
Certainly when upgrade from WM03 to WM06, we all must go to the boot loader option to clean registry, disable KITL, clean storage...etc . However,poor me, I have an XDAII with broken record and camera button, so that I can not get in Boot Loader ( Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton )
So could any one solve this problem?
many thank!!!!

As this is a mechanical problem, - you can't press buttons, which are physically not there -, there is no software solution!
A little workaround might be possible, but untested yet:
As it is not necessarily so, that you have to do a hard reset to end upgrading,
you can try to skip it, in case the last thing you did in WM2k3(SE) was a hardreset.
There should no difference to a fresh upgraded system, which had done a hr afterwards, but it's untested!!!
To do a hard reset on a running WM5 or WM6.X system, you can try to downgrade, hardreset WM2k3(SE) (As I remember this OS does use this buttons to hr) and then upgrade again. It looks wierd, but might work.
For cookers only:
I suggest to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510805,
as it's a WWE rom without camera-function for cooking.
Delete everything that belongs to the camera to get a little bit more sectors to fill with apps and proggis you need.

Thank so much for your helping, your guiding is quite clear and detailed but....it's not work surely. The way to get in boot loader depend on model of Xda, not depend on the version of rom. The Himalaya use fomular "Reset +Camera + Button" permanent whatever u use any wmXX

Well, I use Powerbutton -DPad -Reset to enter bootloader. No use of Camera button there.
In WM2k3(SE) the hard reset is powerbutton and reset, as I remember, please correct me, if I´m wrong.
Still no use of the missing button.
Enter bootloader and flash, then try to skip hard reset. Although it is better it is not needed.
To do a hard reset on a running WM5/6.X system use the tool of post#18 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351811&page=2
Change options to allow hardreset, tap on left upmost icon twice, tap and hold hardreset and run selected.
Voila, no button needed!!!
Tap the icon left of the '?' and enter anything you want. Congratulations.

get around lock code

So my brother was drunk and thought it would be cute to lock the phone. Now he cant remember the password and I can not hard reset. How can I hard reset my phone to get around the lock????

Perhaps force flash it through USB?
Or you can take out the battery, and during reboot, force it to hard reset ..
Another way is during reboot, force it to flash (as long as you have the SD with KAISIMG.nbh of the ROM at it's root).
Wish you luck.

I tried force flash spl and it wont connect via usb. I also have tried a hard reset by holding the two soft kets on the front of the phone and hit the reset button. I also tired the power, camera and reset button.

When you do a hard reset, it just stays locked or you get a soft reset?
Try shutting down by unplug the battery, then during boot up, do hard reset. It shouldn't load the lock yet ..

A hard reset will remove the password (I did the same thing on the first day of owning my Kaiser, set a password on inital start up, it customised it's self, rebooted and I could not get past the login )
Make sure you follow these instructions for Hard Reseting : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets

Also, just so you know: a hard reset will delete your personal information that you have saved. If you don't want to delete your information, keep trying to break the code.

stuck at boot screen after removing lag fix

Today after trying to remove the lagfix from the MCR scripts program , the program crashed.
Which i then reboot the phone hoping to restart the program again but now the phone just stays at the boot screen for hours.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

A factory reset will do

yeah i tried all methods both 3 button boot method and USB Debugging method simply couldn't get into the factory reset screen for me to choose it.
Unless there's a factory reset button that i can press?
What other way i can reset the phone?

ROM Update issue

I tried to do a TASK29 and somehow in the folder there was no task29.exe, so i used the ROMUpdate utility ..and asked me if i wanted to upgrade to somewhat ROM 2.0.0 (?something?)..(i thought that was part of task29 job...) and now my device is blocked in HTC white splash screen...
hard reset still same issue does...
is there any ROM Update utility that can be used without starting the windows from the phone?
or..what can i do to connect my phone to the PC?
i managed to do 4-5 ROM Updates without problems during time, but somehow..this TASK29 job did not work.
is it possible that i deleted the Operating system from the phone?

If am not mistaken, Task 29 did exactly what it should do which is wipe your device clean. Now what you have to do is enter bootloader by powering on your phone while holding the volume down button. If your phone is not off, do a soft reset by pressing the reset button on the side while holding down the volume down button. You should come to a tricolor screen and it will say "SERIAL" in the bottom. When you see this, plug in your USB and on the screen it should change from "SERIAL" to "USB". At this point open up your rom folder, click on the "Rom Update Utility" and follow the prompts and you should be all set. Hope it helps.

sorry. solution found
"if you fail to press vol down key and your phone get stuck on the white screen, just remove your battery, then try again: press power, and keep vol down pressed immediatly next, until the phone get to RVB bootloader.
When your phone is back to RVB bootloader screen, use the leocustomruu.exe provided with your favorite rom package to flash a new rom, or flash it from memory card using standard procedure."
you can close this thread.
