while updating to official tmobile rom, phone started flashing the bootloader screen. it stopped updating.
now when its connected it says USB in the corner, but when i try to upgrade it just flashes the bootloader, No Red or Green light at the top (ever anymore).
Error 260 on my computer screen. I'm using Vista, i did the Vista driver trick. I will try Windows XP tomorrow.
any hope or am i forced to buy the tmobile G1, which wont really be toooo bad
You have answered your own question,WinXP is highly compatible and recommended.
RIP 4/2006-10/2008. She was a good phone, a humble phone. She was flashed over 40 times, before a trajic Vista flash destroyed her.
Science bless this phone. Maybe the microchip gates open up for you and your after-life be a fully-charged and all-bars with GPRS for everyone.
Mmmmm?
Im gonna cry... A Silence Minute Please.... 40 shots to The air.

tried to upgrade my XDA to 2003 microsoft, i reset the phone, and now its just dead,i can't even boot to bootloader, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you used the reset hole under the headphone socket. Push once then push once more after 60 seconds.?
yes tried that,follow your instructions and all that happened was the internal lights came on,and thats it,even tried the bootloader again and still nothing,i can't even use active sync to flast the rom again.please help its doing my head in now.
dead xda
Do you mean an XDA 2? Because I've just done the same thing. And am (or have been)tearing my hair out too.
Then having got it into boot loader mode (which is tricky) and then cradled it I tried getting active sync 4 to find it but it couldn't. In despair I did bootload mode again and cradled it (grey screen says 'USB' now) and ran (and I can't encourage you to do this of course since it is illegal probably) a beta of mobile 2005. Now this found the mobile! And it's ...at 98% installed.
Watch this space...
dead xda
and no (karma comes home) it doesn't work: get a message 'device authentification failure consult the product maufacurer..."
Damn
its an XAD 1 AND CAN'T EVEN GET THE BOOTLOADER UP ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HELP
PLAN B
O.K
(it's worth saying this all started because my pc crashed during an upgrade to the legitimate 2003 final rom for XDA 11. )
I couldn't get this installation to restart (I think because I expected active sync to say, 'yes, found the device' before re-installing - and it doesn't seem to need to do this. Or maybe not. Perhaps I'd just stuffed up getting it n boot loader mode? Who knows. Anyhow. Having another go at putting the legit rom upgrade on now. Fingers crossed & much praying.
dead?
I suspect that for you (and possibly for me also - the jury is still out on my machine) we may need to say hello to our local phone shop in the morning. But that's not the end of the world - tho' it'll probably cost a few £.

Note to self: have a look at other massively helpful forums on this site before doing dumb stuff! There are smart and well-informed people who have all the answers. (notably RAGO in the "stuck in o2 Splash screen forum")
Yippee
(I send apologies for posting all this in what I now realise is totally the wrong forum. (Newbie!)
Adios!
I had just the same problems,
I removed the battery & Sim
I held in the power button and reset button at the same time
but kept them both pressed for 1 min!
I Put the battery & sim back and it all seemed to reset.
Fluke?
not to sure yet but i had no problems
after.

I recently used Faria's How to and unlocked my phone, loaded his crossbow rom etc. My phone works flawless.
Now i am attempting to do a friends 8125 (g3)as well. Ive followed the how to exactly and im having a small problem. The first time i tried to downgrade to the buttons 1.05 rom, it froze up. I rebooted, and tried again, its hanging up showing 99% on the PC and 98% on the 8125 and WILL NOT MOVE. I also of course can not get an activesync connection due to the fact that the only screen i get on the 8125 is the 3 color screen. Anyone have any ideas? Quick responses would be greatly appreciated!
When applying ROMs sometimes it appears to stop at 98 or 99% but it isn't. You have to wait for a while - up to 10 minutes I suppose (worst case).
The three color screen is fine. Plug in your USB and the letters "usb" should show in the lower left hand corner. Start your ROM upgrade when you see this.
Let us know...
Three questions
MY computer has vista so it has no active sync
also my diamond is ****ed all the sudden it got stuck on the screen where it says windows mobile
so how can i install one of the rom that you guys made
but my phone doesnt actually start and y computer doesnt have active sync
so how can i install a rom on my diamond
does any one know???
i really need help guys thanksss alot
i didnt even download or any thing on my phone
it just stopped working suddenly
when i turn it on
first its the touch diamond screen then bell screen and then green sscreen saying windows mobile and it gets stuck there
also i cant hard reset it
i have tried every thing in the worlddddddd
vol down and enter both at same time then reset it then took the pin out kept my fingeres on bol down and enter key and it just goes to touch diamond screen the first one doesnt hard reset
Problems, problems, problems....
Firstly, Windows Vista does have ActiveSync... it's just 'under the skin' of Windows Mobile Device Centre.
If, as you say "It just stopped working" and you haven't done anything, the obvious answer is to get it replaced or repaired under warranty. The Diamond only came out last May, so none of our devices are out of the one year warranty period.
What's more likely is that you've tried to flash a ROM to your device without reading and understanding how to go about it. Either way, you need to search the 'Diamond ROM development' forum... you will definitely find an answer there.
Just one more thing, without trying to give you a lecture (which I often end up doing without intension ), you'll get a better response from the forum users if you keep your posts short and 'to the point'. Asking a load of questions all at the same time just puts people off wanting to help... very time consuming is this!
I appologise for the rant, I really am trying to help
Was in the process of running HARDSPL, prompt on the fone to run enter bootloader clicked yes looked up on pc screen to see connection error USB not connected, screen went blank...... ANY IDEAS
make sure you have active sync or the newer mobile device suite for vista and win 7 connected before you run it. I think there is a tool to get it to come out of the bootloader screen and you can try again. It's pretty hard to brick it.
thanks, after bein non responsive for a while it got it to power back up, seemingly unharmed, no problems, an flash complete. I was panicing cuz replacing a company fone at this point in time wud not be cool
ok, i am hopelessly stuck. I ran the unlocker and after I click the last button to start the process, it says it cannot read a file. Anyways, I check to see if it worked by chance, and it does say security unlocked. But every time I try to flash a rom from the computer it starts and gets to the point where my phone goes to the color bar screen and says usb at the bottom, then it tells me that it cannot communicate with my phone???HELP
Edit: Really Guys??? I have posted twice here, I have been in the android forums for a long time and I can get a response to anything there in 5 min., I thought this was part of our community but I guess I was wrong.

I haven't had this problem, but is the driver installed for when it is in the bootloader screen?
Another way you could try is flashing it from bootloader mode. Just go into bootloader mode then plug it into your comp and run the romupdate utility.
Odd
Never personally ran into it but check your USB cable. Try a different cable. Try a different USB port. I had some issues with them being a little touchy.
I dont know if anyone cares, but I figured it out. I am using a Early 2010 Model MacBook Dual Core running Parallels instead of dual-booting Win XP.
When I am in Windows XP, OSX is running in the background, when the rom update utility turns the phone off then on into the bootloader, the phone is off for that split second and parallels cant keep up with it, and the Mac trys to grab the USB connection in that split second before Win XP says "No, thats my connection", so in that split second exchange the connection with Windows and the RUU gets droped! Kind of simple once you know whats happening. No matter, I used my brother in-laws Vista Toshiba( infected with viruses to the max), it worked fine and I am now running Moonscapes 1.6 with android as well! Thank You to the people who took the time to help!! Remember guys this is a community, it doesnt work unless people respond, without participation we may as well be talking to our dogs!
You never mentioned you were doing something crazy like trying to flash your phone from a virtual machine. That never works, because the usb passthrough driver doesn't detect the windows low-level bootloader mode. How are we supposed to help you when you don't provide details?
Lol, my bad, I got sloppy!! My son dumped a Sonic drink on my dell so all I could work with was my trusty Mac, I am going to dual boot it later today. I have to say after a day with Moonscapezx's 1.6, I like WM, dont know if I like it enough to swap it out for good, I still love my Hero(at least for another 3 months when I get an upgrade, EVO!!!). Ok, well Thank You again guys, I love XDA, you guys are great
