ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gms 02.61.11
os 3.3.0.0 (was something like 10.xxx... but i flashed faria 3.5aku and now is 3.3)
i also tried to format but msg FormatFailed appear :/

Do you have a copy of the Wizard Love rom? If so, install that in bootloader mode. Remember to plug your USB cable into the phone.

I would suggest flashing back to a carrier aku2.x rom and ensure that your phone will come up properly on it. If it does then good, it's most likely not a serious hardware issue, if not then you might be out of luck.

looks like a brick to me..
So sorry m8.
I hope you can revive it !

Had similar problem with the Super rom.What worked for me was taking a back up on the memory card and reflashing from the card.Read the Wiki about details on how to go about it.

Try to flash the latest t-mobile ROM found on their site if all the suggested doesnt work..

@ DRIVEX
Try Hard resetting via the harware Buttons Softreset hole method. Here is how:
----------------------------------
While holding the Comm manager button and the Voice Command button, push in on the soft reset button (reset hole) once. Keep holding the Comm Manager and Voice Command buttons until there is a screen asking you if you want to clear all data. To commit, press the green send key.
Hope it helps.

I've done. I used method with mtty and i copied os to sd card, after that i reflashed using minisd card and it works. Thx for everyting, u guyz do great job here hehe

Hard to help someone that hasn't told us anything.
From the sounds of it your battery has died. Until you get a good rom on there, the phone will NOT charge. You will need to find someone with a similar phone (or maybe go to your cell provider) and get them to charge the battery at this point. Once you have the battery charged then try following this step by step:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
If that doesn't work, then come back and tell us more about what happened, what your IPL/SPL is, what type of phone you have, if its G3 or G4, etc... People here will help, but not without information.

Not that I know of. Thats one of the reasons its recommended you start with a battery that has over 50% charge (personally I never flash with less than 100% in case something goes wrong). Not saying you didn't do that, but you appear to now be trying to work with a dead (or almost dead) battery, and that will only make things worse if you try to flash and then the battery dies in the middle (maybe not worse, but it sure won't help).
Like I said, you'll need to find someone with a similar phone or see if your local cell provider office will let you charge it (or swap it for a charged battery).

I got my ppc back up and I tried reflashing again and I have almost the same issue. It says format is successfull but then it gets stuck at the blue screen.

Hard resetting ... from the from a factory ROM

If something happens to your rom where you can't boot up completely and you're on the factory ROM...do this:
To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the left SOFT KEY and the right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the middle left side of your device.
2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two SOFT KEYs until you see the following message on the screen:
“This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default.
Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.”
3. Release the two SOFT KEYs, and then press the button on your device. Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings.
This was provided to me from a reliable source.
I don't have a Wing so I can't answer questions on this.
This came my way beacause my cousin overclocked his Wing too much and it would not boot.
The T-Mo ROM is not available for download to re-install it.
Because of where he works, he was able to come across this info.
I just shared it with you.

Thx for the info, but the manual states this as well

Don't own or have the device, just shared what was told to me as a fix for my cousin.

Thanks - but i worte in another thread that i really hope for one thing:
Pleas - to all noobs - don´t flash ROMs or change poolsize - when you don´t know how to make a hardreset or to start your device in bootloader.
Please read, read, read - and then beginn playing when you know what you are doing.
Thanks

Bricked phone installing rom, help?

Hello xda, so yet another person took the plunge into flashing a rom. Im not sure what I did that was wrong because the install went perfect, it made it to 100 percent and restarted my phone like it was all well and good, but it wasnt. It just sits there perpetually restarting. Believe me I have been looking unfortunately, I didn't seem to find anything that helped. From the threads I read it sounds like I can just go to the boot loader, plug in my phone, then place a stock rom from alltel on my internal storage and flash that, or maybe I was mistaken with what I read. Either way I can't get that to work I can get to the boot loader and hook it to my computer, and the computer will say something connected, but it doesn't show up as a removable storage device or anything. This is the rom I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553844 this is also the tutorial that I used http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
Please, please give me some help.

me too
Anyone have any ideas? I tried using the HardSPL from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839
and I tried may different ROMs with the same problem... So i don't think it's the ROM.
Thanks in advance!

i was able to 'unbrick' my phone...
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. load the bootloader
3. plug the phone to the computer
4. go to sprint.com and get the Rom from them and just use their exe
now it's back to WM6.1
So i guess the problem is that there's not WM6.5 ROMs for CDMA diamonds yet?

I don't know how offical it is, but I have loaded WM6.5 on my Sprint CDMA Diamond just fine.

Alright thank you that worked, I thought I was going to have a diamond shaped paper weight for a minute. I do believe that there are indeed 6.5 roms for the diamond, but I have no idea why this rom didn't work. Thanks for the help.

so I got mine to work with a wm6.5 rom.
this is what i did:
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. then get this wm6.5 ROM: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084
this ROM is awesome!
Hope that works for you too.

You Bricked your Diamond
My Diamond bricked the other day and it wouldn't load or allow me to do a reset on it. I found a way to manually hard reset the device.
Hold the power button, the down volume button, and the enter button(the circled button) at the same time (continue to hold) then press the reset button. countinue holding the three buttons until a white screen comes up telling you to press volume up to reset device to original settings. press the volume up and it will reset. Now set up your device and immediately active sync and put a new Rom on the device

Yes thats pretty important to know when you are messing with roms, also make sure to note the boot loader screen which is reset, back, vol down, and power. That is how I fixed my phone. This tutorial is a nice tutorial to look over. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

www.everythingdiamond.info/ this site has cdma versions theyre pretty good

Yeah I actually got my latest rom from there, thanks for all the help everyone you were a god send

check everythingdiamond.info or ppcgeeks.com . Both of those sites have stickies dealing with this and all the roms you'll find there are for cdma phones.

Broken Hardware Volume Buttons! Can't Flash

Hi All,
Maybe someone can help me? My blackstone is quite old now but probably still in warranty. I have a Dutty Rom on it and would like to reflash back to a stock rom so I can take it for servicing under warranty but the down volume button doesn't work. I can't enter the flash mode.
Anyone know a way I can do this without the voulme button or maybe trigger the volume button another way. I tried using foil on it but that doesn't work.
thanks

If you leave your phone in the normal position ie normal boot up with manila loaded and then run the RUUWrapper, there is a little sub-routine included which automatically changes to bootloader mode (I never put the phone into bootloader before a flash). Luckily your volume up still appears to work so at least you can do the hard resets.

The blackstone has very very poor volume buttons, amazingly bad!!! Now the plastic volume buttons are totally broken. (after 10 months) But I can use the buttons correctly.
Poor material, poor HTC quality. Never HTC again.

make sure you get it to the stock SPL too because hardspl voids your warranty if they find it.
like clyde said, if you connect your blackstone to your computer via activesync, you can run the ROM update from your computer, without you having to manually put the phone into bootloader mode. not sure how youre gonna do a hard reset though (not sure if its necessary) as you need both volume keys to do that
good luck

True, I forgot you need both to do the hard reset, you can see I do this as second nature now without thinking.
Oh well, you'll have to live without the hard reset after the flash. There are many who say it's not necessary, although I religiously still do my hard reset after each flash.

There's an option to wipe the device in the System settings. I think this is equivalent to a Hard Reset.

It is. _

You can hard reset by clearing storage under system settings -does the same thing.

mine also broken after 3 months of use! very POOORRRR material! maybe No HTC again...

I never did a HR after flash, eventually I do a clear storage after some time, probably b4 loading all the apps, but will do a HR b4 flash.

Newbie Tech Problem!!!

I've just recently gotten into different ROM's for my Sprint Touch Diamond. I am currently running Mighty ROM6. Now it flashes fine but after about a day of use I notice the phone starts acting up. Programs disappear, Opera browser stops working and I have to reflash. Is this a common flaw with the Mighty ROM6 or is it something I am doing wrong? I just don't understand how it works fine and after a day or two of use I have to reflash it. Any and all input would be great...

(I hope this is in the right section)

I'm not sure about Mighty ROM6, but issues can occur when you don't clear the device from the previously cooked rom.
2 Choices to clear device:
• flash a stock rom first before flashing
• use mtty (link found in my signature)
Regardless of choice, after flashing the selected cooked rom of choice, don't forget to hard reset your device.
Doing this takes out the variable of it being your devices fault and thus puts back the onus to the rom.
Good Luck!

Well that leaves me with two questions....where can I find a stock rom and how exactly do you hard reset a touch diamond? I've tried the volume down + enter and then the reset button but it doesn't seem to work...any other tricks? What exaclty is MTTY? another rom?

Looking for you re: stock roms
as far as mtty is concern, it's a tool that clears your device. Not too newbie friendly though.
HARD RESET DEVICE:
Right after you soft reset reset (red button) simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format)

Look at the 2nd post, of edited my response there.
By the way, another trick is to flash a radio or a rom via Internal Memory Method found below:
COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
p.s. still looking for the pesty stock rom thread....

Found the thread for stock roms...<<HERE YOU GO>>
