My phone: T-Mobile MDA Compact IV
I started the HARDSPL upgrade by the upgrade tutorial.
It flash the unsigned 1.40 succesfully and i clicked finish on the application.
My phone was restarted.
Now i want to verify that the OliNex HARDSPL is installed by pressing the reset button while holding the volume down bottun.
Nothing will happen.
My sound will go off and the screen goes black. I tried everything i can think of.
How to enter the bootloader?
Or do i have to flash it to the Unsigned HARDSPL 1.40 again?
Greetings,
Angkasa
While holding the volume down press the reset button and don't let it go till you see the coloured screen.
I think you let it go too soon.

I've upacked my shiny new XDA Ignito and followed the intructions to install HardSPL.
The TUT says:
<snip>
To verify if you indeed have correct HardSPL on your device, enter Bootloader by pushing the reset button while holding volume down key on the side.
It should display*:
* In case of another HardSPL, the version number would differ!
Code:
…
SPL-1.40.OliNex
</snip>
I don't see this - I just boot into the O2 welcome screen - the update took about 2 minutes - has it failed or is there anyway to confirm the HardSPL has taken? I don't want to install a new ROm until I'm sure I'm not going to brick it....
TIA

put your phone into bootloader mode and you will see that your SPL has changed to OliNex 1.40.
This information will not show on the normal splash screens.
to put your phone into bootloader you need to turn the power off on your phone, once the device is off, press and hold the volume down then press and hold the power button.
hope this helps
Flashed DID diamond+sprint rom and my phone is stuck in the Touchdiamond screen when it vibrateds first can anyone help me..
tried a Hard Reset?
(hold down center button and volume down while pressing reset for 3 secs)
Yeah thats the first thing i did..no luck just goes back to the start screen.
can u get to Bootloader?
Not sure how to get there..
umm.. Volume key up and reset i think (if not check Wiki)
once in Bootloader you can connect to PC and try flashing ROM again
if this doesnt work, try flashing original ROM (same process) and try a different version of Hard SPL. have u flashed other ROMS ok before?
It use to go in bootloader shen i pushed volume dwn, power button and enter botton..not doing it now..
its Volume Down and reset - my bad
Got to chip off now, good luck with it PM me and i'll see it tomrrow if u still got problems
No luck i have tried everything stuck in this loop anyone have anyother sugjestions
I can get it to go to the hard reset screen but that itanyonter way to force it into bootloader the direction in the manuel are different from what wiki says..
So is it bricked?
Hi all,
so i did a bad flash and my diamond doesnt boot into windows, not a problem with the Unlocker Right? turn off and turn on holding power+down volume key+ center key and back key, it boots into bootloader but it just sits there saying LOADING... and this is because the internal memory wasnt being recognize by windows before the bad flash.
do i have any other alternative??
Hi, fear not my friend. Just boot into bootloader mode by pressing power key and volume down at the same time (If you press the center button also you will trigger a hard reset.) Then plug your phone on your PC. On the bottom of the phone screen you should see that the word serial changes for USB. Then just lauch any rom upgrade(either a stock rom or a custom one). The rom upgrade utility will the upgrade your phone like it normaly does when it's not bricked. It will just be a little longer.
you have hold the power volume down and press soft reset to enter boot loader
Hi
I have the same problem, I flashed my diamond with a bad flash, now it turns over, I try a hard reset, it works not so.
when I plug in the charger, the LED does not light.
what should I do, help me pls!
Here is the link where I downloaded the flash: ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Diamond/Users/Tobeychris/Tutorial/Diamond Unlocker.rar
I think I have just flashed my phone with hardspl 3.56, how do I check which version is currently on. Reason being the flash was very quick, it went from 0% to 100% in a flash.
Get into bootloader, hold camera button in "keeping hold" press reset whole and keep held and it will display Hard-SPL.

dear guys,
I don't know what to do...
I have a very bad working rom (the energy 14oct), so today I decided to change rom.
I do this very frequently.
dunno what happened, but when I try to get in the bootloader hardspl menu, It just turn on the phone.
I tried everything, for about 50 times.
pressing both volume buttons than start button, only volume down and start button, even volume up and start button
nothing really happened.
So I decided to do it in the "windows way"
I have 7 64bit
as I don't want to download it from the original microsoft site ( ) I download it from here
http://www.cnet.com.au/downloads/so...ows-Vista-64-bit/0,239030382,10620683s,00.htm
after installing it, it recognize the phone, I did "connect withouth configuration" then I run Topaz_SoftwareUpgrade
unfortunately, it says "ERROR: 260" and it doesn't flash the rom, BUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS on the phone screen there is the hardspl menu that says "press start button to start flashing or volume down to cancel", but the menu is STUCK and I can't press anything
I tried using the MANUAL SSPL.EXE and it goes in the tricolour screen, but the buttons doesn't work! I can press anything but nothing happens.
looks like the buttons works only when the phone is in windows mobile, :'(
PLEASE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO... PLEASE HELP ME
