Problem with screen turns black (see this video)! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Don't know if others are having this problem with the screen fading black, but have seen it a couple of times on my Diamond, latest last night, I took the camera and filmed it.
Am troubled if something is wrong with my Diamond, or this could be the case of incompatible HardSPL
if someone's diamond came with 1.93 SPL originally, maybe this HardSPL based on 1.93 will work better than the olders. I have a report that someone has black screen with older SPL's.

This could be the case, was just wondering if others has had this issue, and if so how did you resolve it?
Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y5CW05sSVc

Did you try flashing your SPL and then Hard Resetting ?

That doesn't look right to me. I will upgrade to latest rom, if that doesn't help, I will send it back for repair.

Am currently running Duttys 2.2 though the problem also on latest stock rom, but only noticed it when going from HardSPL and back to stock SPL just dont know what SPL the phone came with, so maybe I have only treid the wrong ones.

Hmmm. I think that when you install a stock rom it will also reinstall stock SPL.

No that is not the case I an afraid, you have to install the SPL manually as a seperate installation from the ROM.

How to restore to original?

Hi there,
My brother also has an HD and off course I put a nice custom ROM on it
However, the screen is dead since yesterday.
I already put the original dutch ROM on it, but it shows a nasty green windows screen. I can't get any further beyond allign screen...
My question: when he sends his HD to HTC, they will probably won't fix it, because they can see it's HSPL (?).
So anybody knows how to restore to complete original, without getting into the phone with cabs? I put HSPL on it, the phone is 6 months old.
Any help would really be appreciated!!!!
Thx a lot

You can restore original SPL and rom without having to get into phone with cabs.
As long as you can enter bootloader screen you can restore stock SPL.
I came across this "step for step" process via a search. I have not tried it yet (and hopefully never have to -
How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download your choice of a stock spl package (ie the original SPL).
2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post. (I presume you already have this?)
3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing. (You can probably skip this step)
4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+6. to verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000.
that's it.
+7. no worries: if your device is stuck in bootloader mode with Hard-SPL and you need warranty service, you can still flash stock SPL.
As I said, I have not tried this. If this does not work, search on this site or Google for additional info. Hope it helps.

Thanks for linking to the post, I just added the steps
The OP however says that they have already flashed back to the stock ROM, but that the colours are screwy. This needs the stock SPL restored as well in order to recover normal functioning (or at least so that they can send in for repairs without voiding the warranty).

note that; if you restore stock SPL 114 or 115 please download the same rom version for flashing.
ex: when you restore SPL 114 you must have ship Rom:http://rs68l32.rapidshare.com/files....479.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
because the different SPL & Rom version will make wrong screen.
wow, thank you very much for the quick and usefull replies!
I installed this ROM:
http://rapidshare.com/files/2189268...6.404.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe
So after this I have to install original SPL? Can you guys see which one?
Thanks in advance!

firstly you must Hard SPL 1.56 Olinex
secondly flashing your rom
And restore with SPL 1.13 I assume?

The process of restoring stock rom/SPL is only to be used if you plan to return device. If you are wanting to keep you you mentioned earlier then you would need to put either USPL or HSPL on your device first. I would recommend USPL for you as it would be easier to return to stock SPL afterwards.
Once you have rom on your device, DO NOT restore stock SPL afterwards. You only restore this if you plan to return your device. If you did you would have to go through whole process of putting USPL or HSPL onto your device again to flash another rom.
The phone has to be returned because of screen problems.
I will put SPL 1.13 on it and then flash the earlier mentioned ROM.
Then return to HTC

No probs. Out of curiosity what screen problems do you have? Are they Hardware problems or is it something else which could possibly be fixed through the assistance of xda users
It's the phone of my brother, he tells me that the screen doesn't respond anymore, so he can't get past the calibration!
I'll give an update when HTC fixed this (or replaced it )
Thanks for all the help!
I'm doing this right now. I had been using Dutty's V6 before. I never updated the radio, so Ishouldn't have to change it, right?
Anyway, I flashed the stock RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe rom, and that went fine. I'm trying to flash the stock 1.13 spl, and I get error 202: connection. It thinks it can't see my phone, even though it does the initial connection, and even sees what version (1.56) of the spl is on there. Any ideas?
Ok, I did this: I put the phone into bootloader manually by pressing up when it boots up to get to the tricolor screen. That let me run the 1.13 spl pdate, and it said it completed successfully. However, when it boots ups, it still shows D:1.56 olinex or whatever. Did it not work?
Ok, acutally I think it did load up. The Bootloader shows SPL-1.13.0000. So why does it show:
R1.13.25.24
G52.62.25.34u
D1.56.00.00
Is this ready to send in for service?

If your SPL says 1.13.0000 then you are fine to send phone in for service.
R1.13.25.24 - Radio Version

D1.56.00.00 - ROM Version

Returning to Stock for repair! URGENT

Good Morning all,
Hope everyone is well. I realise that I am probably repeating a post somewhere and apologise profusely for that.
However my request is quite urgent. I have my phone flashed with Dutty's 4.1 using the step by step guide to update radio and ROM etc etc.
My touchscreen has now started playing silly buggars and as such tomorrow it gets picked up by UPS UK to disappear off to be looked at. Obviously I do not think they will take it to well if it still has duttys on there
So just so I make sure I get eveything right.... can someone just drop me a link to the correct files for a stock flash back to the way things should be.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

To add an update, the boot loader screen shows:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
Micro-Blackstone (LED) v6
Thought this might help in finding out how much work to stock?
I Think u need the original rom... or a htc one from the website?? ... can it not be downloaded from the htc website?? i may be wrong
I do but also need to make sure I do an original spl and radio as well
first off go to htc.com and download the romupgrade thats on that side (ive non is on the side check the wiki for youre countryrom)
then flash that one and se ive radio comes with it

Ok, thanks for all your assistance. Just qiuck one, Once I have done all this how can I check it has all worked. Obviously the boot loader shows the SPL, and the ROM is whatever installed. Where will it display the current radio so I can check that too?

At boot it shows, just restart your device and look at the red text in the bottom right corner, there it will show your current radio version.
Could also see it in device info when the device is on but dunno if you still can considering you need to return it.

Thanks to all help, radio is now reading stock as is the 1.56 spl all installed from latest ROM from HTC so also stock.
UPS collect tomorrow and with any luck they will return a working touchscreen and I can continue where I left off

Hi, can someone (Admin) change the title of this thread from Returning to Stock for repair! to Having screen problems after changing the rom?
I think the first is solved and now we have this new problem in hand.
best regards
+1
i've had the problem with a cooked french rom (Pyrana V17C). My screen started to freeze for a few seconds. During that time, when I put the finger on the screen and slide, the screen follows the move but it comes back to where it first was, ant the move is finally not taken in consideration ... it looks like the screen is an elastic...
So it did it sometimes and it lasted a few seconds first, and then, a couple af days later, it was more often, and I had to soft reset everytime, and yesterday, I finally had to hard reset to take back the hand, and the bug came back more quickly. So I installed the latest release of this rom this morning and everything seems to be stable since a couple of hour. If it comes back I'll try another rom, but if someone can find a way to set this, that would be perfect ...

Strangre situation!

Hi all
I did hard SPL for my X1 then updated to Energy ROM regularly, then I did stock SPL before I go back to original ROM 6.1 , now the device won't SPL anymore and won't ROM update, it just get stuck in bootloader and shows (Loading....)
Please any suggestions
I'm very desperate
Regards,
MK
Help please !!!!!
You shouldn't have reverted to stock SPL before downgrading to stock rom. Try to load hard-SPL again.
I did but still no response, still stuck on bootloader and only (Loading...) appear

So how is it done? Are you supposed to apply the stock SPL after you have updated with the original rom? I mean is good to know cuz i might roll back the phone one day.

Which hard spl are you using?
flash a r3 rom using mSD...should work fine
Make sure that you are either using the SD card to flash, or it is removed.
If agent's idea doesnt work, search for mtty.exe or drop me a PM. same thing happened to me and i was tripping balls

As I have understood, first you have a "virgin" phone:
1) Stock ROM, stock SPL - can only flash Stock ROM
2) Flash HardSPL - after that can flash any ROM
If you need to bring it back to SE:
1) Flash stock ROM
2) Flash stock SPL - it is important to do it in that order, first back to Stock ROM, then back to stock SPL.
After getting your phone back from repairs:
1) You can flash HardSPL again, to be able to flash any ROM (both custom and stock)
ok thanks, if there is any problem i'll do this...

Flashing Roms, SPL, and Radio's

I have flashed my Tilt and my Wizard numerous times but I'm wondering if it matters which you should flash first.
if you have the HTC base rom fro your device should you go right to the custom rom and then the spl and then radio or does it even matter what the order is.
normally I put the SPL and then Radio and then the custom rom.
Is there any preference on this?
Cheers
Chris
As long as you have HardSPL'd your kaiser, and the custom rom doesn't have a radio included in it, then it doesnt matter which order you flash the rom and radio.

ok cool and if you HardSPL'd your kaiser once to go to a custom rom and then decide to change to a different one so you go back to the stock rom does that change your SPL back or once its changed its changed for good?
To be honest I dont even see where the SPL shows.

I think I found my answer regarding Hard SPL's "A Hard SPL is one that is permanently flashed in your device memory and will boot up every time your device boots." http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions?
So I guess you only have to do this once. If I'm mistaken please let me know.

Correct you only do it once unless you wanna change your hard-spl to a different version.
