Is my phone fried?

I posted a question last week and I was installing the ROM and windows crashed. My phone now has the bootloader screen (colored screen with USB in the corner). I had already upgraded to 2.17 which was fine. Any thoughts?

If you can still access the bootloader you have not fried your phone. Get it into bootloader - plug in your USB and connect to your PC and run the ROM upgrade again. If it fails again check the ROM is a good version ( re-download if your not sure) Failing that, do the process on a different PC.
BTW you do not need to run Activestink on the PC.
Best of luck :lol:

Diamond with non-bundled AS?

Hey All.
I am on vacation, and just brougth a new notebook (lovely Medion Akoya), and i want to sync with my diamond. However, i downloaded the active sync from the ms homepage, and i get the "Unrecognized device" error all the time.
Yes, i tried to use different cables, yes i tried to deactivate the advanced network, however, i doesnt seem to recognize it at all.
Even if i do a softreset + volume down, i just get the SPL1-40 screen, but eventhou my phone is plugged in the USB, it doesnt say that, only "serial" when i disconnect.
I've been searching this forum the entire day, and i cant seem to find a solution. So, i kindly ask the gurus help me
Diamond running 0.95 bePe and pc running xp sp3.
Kind regards, Heien.

Try to flash a stock ROM and check if you run into the same problem.
In order to sync, you must be running the handset normally, don't enter bootloader mode.
Did the system prompt you for drivers the first time you connected it to the PC? Activesync 4.5 provides the rndis drivers.

the problem is, i cant even flash my device, i tried to flash it, but i get a connection error with the tool.
I know about the bootloadermode, and that i am not able to sync in that state, but i just wanted my pc/diamond to recognize the connection between them. The system did not prompt me for drivers, it just went straigth to unrecognized device. i even tried to point the the driverupdate tool to the drivers folder with the rndis drivers in the as folder.
-i also tried to hardreset my device.

Try doing the same on a fresh stock XP install, without firewall or anything similar.
We need to figure out if it's a problem with the handset itself or your OS/PC.
Try another USB port (DON'T use hubs).
Enter bootloader mode. When you connect it to the USB, it should at least toggle from serial to usb.
If that's the case, at least your USb is working well.

Connect to your PC and make sure activesync has run properly and your phone is on.
Open Hard SPL and run the ROMupdate. Your phone will go to tricolour and it will come up with a communication error.
disconnect from PC but leave the phone in tricolour....DO NOT reset it.
Cancel our of the ROMupdate. connect the phone to the pc again and run ROMupdate again.
This time it will go all the way through and you will have HardSPL on your phone.
Check it by entering bootloader and it should show Olipro 3.2.
You can then flash away....make sure you always put the phone into bootloader before flashing.

[HELP]How do i put my phone in ActiveSync Mode while on Bootloader???[HELP]

I am wanting to updrage my rom for my HTC Touch HD and there are tick boxes saying that make sure u perfom these before you update:
Battery over 50%
ActiveSync
connect phone to computer using USB
Disable the standyby on PC
after i click click next and do the steps the process gets stucked on 0% buth on phone and computer and after few minutes it says error
So i am sure that i have done all those but not to sure if my phone was in Activesync mode or not.
When the phone is turned on and connected to the computer connects using Activesync fine but when i turn the phone off and go on Bootloader mode connection is lost (as soon as i turn the device off)
so can someone please help how to activesync on bootloader mode
UPDATE:
I did HSPL and then BlackstoneRUUWrapper and now its working (its not getting stuck on 0%) and actually % is increasing
Everyone Thanks in Advance. I will tell you all when its done.

If it says USB when you connect to the pc while in bootloader mode, you're good to go

ye it says USB at the bottom of the screen but the process always stays at 0% then after a while it gives Error

wich rom do you want to instal and have you instald hspl?

connect ur phone directly in boot loader rather than thru active sync..
Run the USPL 2..
and then start the rom flash.
jus tick all the req fields in the RUU.(be in the bootloader) cos it makes no difference..
this is all assuming u have win XP or Vista with the req drivers.
cheers

Have you followed all of the steps in the Dummies Guide to flashing? (See link in my signature.)
The fact that you are able to connect to Activesync is fine. There is no need to be in Activesync whilst flashing and while in bootlaoder mode.

Have you read through the tutorial thread? There is a troubleshooter faq there. I did my first flash using it yesterday with no problems at all

Please read and post future queries on flashing in this tutorial/guide thread

[PROBLEM] Bricked my Blackstone

Hi All.
I've had my flashed severtal times with the new ROM and never had any problems with it (apart from ROM itself not being perfect).
Yesterday I've cooked myself a plain ROM and flashed phone with it. Flash took less than a minute and my phone isn't starting any more. I've checked NBH file and it's only 6 MB!
At the moment all I can do it to is to try to turn it on, it stops on the 'Smart Mobility' screen with red info on the bottom. Info reads:
R 1.14.25.24
G 52.64.25.34U
D 1.59.48753
When I start my phone with Vol Down button pressed it goes to tricolor and when I continue to hold Vol Down I get white screen with message: Loading: No Image File! showing on the screen briefly and back to tricolor.
No problem you say - flash another ROM. But at the moment my phone doesn't connect to my PC. Cable tested with another HTC - works. When I connect it I get USB on the screen but Flashing utility doesn't detect the phone.
When I try to Hard Reset the phone it just starts normally. So Vol Up + Vol Down + Power doesn't work at all. All I have is smart mobility and tricolor.
Info from Tricolor:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
and on the bottom either Serial or USB.
Question is:
is there anything I can do to revive my phone? Is there any way to flash it without USB connection? If yes, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance,

There is a way of flashing from SD card if you have HSPL (you do... OliNex).
Please do some search...

if it displays usb in tricolor you can flash a rom with CustomRUU from there. its not bricked

Put BLACIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card and enter bootloader mode, it'll detect it and ask if you want to flash it - press power button to confirm.

Dont connect your phone to your computer.
Hold down the Volume down button and hit the power button.
Your entering the tricolor boot screen and at the bottom the word "Serial".
Now connect you phone to your computer with te USB cable the word serial disappear and now it says USB.
Now you can normally flash/update your phone.

Thank for all your answers.
Problem still lasts, tried everything I could, including trying another computer. I've tried SD card flashing but couldn't get past tricolor. Everytime I tried all I got was No image file! and nothing.
In desperate act of dying I've went to my neighbour and borrowed his old Win XP laptop and it worked... Currently flashing new ROM to it.
What I cannot understand is why my computer (iMac running Windows on parralels), my laptop (Win 7) and my second laptop (Win Vista) couldn't detect the phone. I've succesfully flashed it before using all three machines, including virtualized Win 7 on my mac :/
Any ideas why it stopped working? I'll try to connect it again when ROM will be fully flashed and let you know.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Cheers,

Why don't you try shipped ROM, it may do the trick.
Get the original shipped ROM from HTC site or from XDA site.
Extract the content in some directory
Rename ruu_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh and copy it on root folder of your SD card.
Now start your phone holding Vol down button.
Fingers crossed to to start flashing

Hi again.
I can confirm that due to flashing my phone with that odd 6MB ROM I could not connect it to any computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7. Strangely enough - it worked with Windows XP Professional. I have managed to flash my phone again on it using custom ROM from this forum.
Cheers,
