Ouch... Tried to install new rom and seem to have buggered up the phone. I get the infamous tri-color screen with usb connection to mtty.... nothing else. I cannot connect through active sync, etc. and of course the phone will not boot into WM. Tri-color screen indicates "security unlocked" , DIAM500 SPL-0.057.0000, MicroP-Diam (LED) VB.
After lots of reading the only option I see is using mtty to install a "working" ROM on the phone but cannot figure out how to accomplish this. Looks like you would need to know a starting address and length of the file in order to use the lnbs command to transfer the image?
Any thoughts or am I just wasting time (which I already have done)

OK, first thing is to just breathe a few times.
Second is to start reading. Please see link in my signature before doing anything else. Read it, digest it and follow it..
There is a process for flashing a ROM. First, you need to flash Hard-SBL. This does invalidate your warranty (but you must have realised that already right..?)
I believe the phone is locked. Is there any way to unlock from mtty?

Ok, first of all, I've not personally used MTTY. I've done a forum search on it but not turned up much. Having come from the Blue Angel, I've had to re-learn everything in order to flash a ROM.
Now, did you read the Wiki or did you just automatically think you knew what you were doing..?
Follow this at your own risk. I'm working on limited knowledge here..
As far as I know, your Diamond appears to be in Bootloader mode. The fact that you have the "USB" words on your screen, your PC is going to be able to communicae with the Diamond. (one assumes that it is connected to the PC - Does it say "Serial" when the cable is disconnected..?). Activesync will not show up as connected but you're still going to be able to communicate with it..
From there, you need to download and run Hard-SPL. I would go for the developers edition.
Once the Hard-SPL has been run, you need to choose a ROM - That will be your choice..
Follow this thread to clarify exactly what you need to do..

after i used button's 1.05 ROM i cant get no usb and its very slow not i cant install HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b
Do you mean no activesync by no USB? Try flashing it again through bootloader screen or try flashing the official rom of your provider through the bootloader.

Yes, I've been over that, and some of the related links from that thread, but so far I still can't find the missing piece. All of the tips point to using an updater to load Wizard Love, but I still get a communication error. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I'd also point out that while this may be my third 4th post, I'm not really new at this. I am new at having problems. I've flashed this phone probably a dozen times in the past year and have never had a problem. I've going over the sticky threads and tutorials, but what I'm missing is how I actually get wizard love to load. So far, it still does a check for the phone through activesync, then tries to run RUUGetinfo.exe and EnterBootloader.exe to which copies nk.nbf. So far the central issue seems to be establishing a connection. Since I am already in the boot loader (the red, green, blue, white screen) I need to be able to copy nk.nbf, which is what I cannot figure out. So far, I haven't found anything useful on this.

When you just plugin USB cable. Does it say USB on the left bottom of your screen? After this you should just use the RUU. Maybe it helps to uncheck allow USB connections in activesync.
Most people having problems flashing from bootloader (communication error) can succesfully flash from another XP machine. Have you tried that?
I have a stuck image on my 8125. The phone "boots" but only shows a white screen, and is unusable.
The "a2sd all" restore option mentioned in the forums doesnt work for me. I have read on several forums that I should be able to reflash the OS from the bootloader, though I cant find any instructions on how to do this
Could someone point me in the right direction for how to flash an OS VIA bootloader?
Thx
1. Get the phone to bootloader (tree color mode) - I think by soft resetting and pressing the camera button at the same time
2. Connect it to the computer (Windows XP) with a USB cable
3. You will notice "USB" written in a lower corner of the phone (this means it is connected)
4. Now you can flash your provider's ROM without any problems
I am not sure whether the bootloader flashing is possible from Windows Vista.
You must flash normally (in bootloader you cannot use either shelltools or SoftSPL - so use your provider's ROM).
Mirek
Mirek - not to be totally ignorant, but the step 4 is what I'm having problems with .... where can I find either a providers ROM, or something that I can actually use while in bootloader mode?
Thanks!
NM ... Found it!
For anyone reading this .... You can get the provider ROM for the 8125 from HTCAmerica here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8125/software-downloads.html
Thanks for your help!

IPL/SPL 2.08? Does that exist? Do you mean 3.08?
Are you sure your device is a G3? Or you killed it when flashing Button's ROM?

My phone seems to have given up the ghost. A few days after having put on the excellent Q-Mobile system. My phone has refused to boot properly. Heres what happens:
In start up from Soft reset, or Power off, i get the tricolour screen saying:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0 OliPof
CPLD-8
a few2 lines benath that is written 'Serial'
it then flashed onto a white screen saying 'loading......no image file' - this all takes about a second.
And then it rests on the screen mentioned above.
I haven't dropped it or done anything other than flash- correctly.
AAAARGH! it does randomly decide to boot up properly after its been left of for a whil if that helps.
Also - active synch wont recognise it , in the tr-colour state.
HELP!!!
Phone now stable
wondering what the best thing to do is to get it back on track...

mtty is the way to do...you are not bricked...just take a few breaths and search the forums. When it happened to me, I had to use the BOOT command with MTTY. After it boots back up, run HARDSPL once again otherwise anytime you soft reset it will return to the bootloader screen.
thanks, but what is MTTY - i checked the posts and couldn't find it anywhere
So i just attempted to flash my tilt.
These are the steps i did.
Used Jump SPL 1.56 Kais
Then flashed a Kaiser Custom RUU.exe
everything was good at this point.
I then attempted the Kaiser SUperCID tool
when i did the unlock radio is when the problem occurred. After initializing and completing the screen turned black and does not display anything after the 3g sreen. I have done several soft resets and am attempting to do a hard reset with the soft keys but all it does is restart the phone....
i am not able to do a hard reset via sys>clear storage since no screen is displayed
this is what my phone does show
the tri color screen is this
kais1*0
spl-3.28.Hard
cpld-8
and it says security unlocked above all of that.
The ATnT screen shows this
R 1.70.Olinex
G 25.65.30.04h
D 1.62.00.00
please help
You need to follow step 0. Too late know. Which includes having an actual "RADIO" ready.
1.70OliNex is not a Radio. Thusly the Device can't load the Phone. Find a Radio and Flash it
Oh And Count this as your Freebie. Next time Search for your answer. And if you don't find the answer this should have been posted in the SuperCID thread.
Thank you kind sir. Off to look for a radio

Before you go off.
Here's something to try. The SIM/CID Unlocker do not work with the stock rom and you should have put hardspl on there.
Setup activesync and make sure that it detects your phone. As long as activesync works, you should be able to flash the stock rom and radio on the phone (even if the display is blank).
1st use jumpspl
then put on hardspl (read and follow the hardspl instructions)
then upgrade to 6.1 ROM
Then Unlock
then reflash with the rom of your choice with the matching radio
you should be good to go.
well i finally figured out the hard reset, which i did. It booted up and i was able to do the screen alignment etc, but once i was on my actual home screen it CUSTOMIZED and loaded a bunch of who knows what and back to the blank screen...
well i do have hard spl 3.28. I will try again....Im also not sure if my phone is 6.0 or 6.1

If you have hardspl on there, then just flash one of the cooked roms on the phone. I loaded the L26 Rom and it works great. It will include a radio firmware and is compatible with the SIM/CID unlocker.
the question i have is how do you flash without being able to execute the program from the phone? How am i able to execute it from the active sync?

Have you connected it to the computer via usb? Does activesync see the phone? You won't see anything on the phone itself until you correct the problem. As long as the computer activesync sees the phone you should be able to flash it from the computer.
I had the same issue
Just follow the steps
get the SIM unlock code from the computer
then flash a "real radio"
Once it finishes and boots up
it will ask you for the sim unlock code
AND VIOLA!!!
got it going
flashed it from my mini sd card after fat32 formatting it.
works like a charm
Thanks to everyone
ok, so I tried to upgrade to 1.56 (stock), and yes I now have the dodgy looking screen and phone is stuck in 'Phone Off' mode.
I didn't think I needed to do anything other than run the exe from HTC.
so, anyway..yes I'm screwed.
I've got the list of instructions from an earlier post about flashing 1.56, and am trying to follow them (seems my phone has Olinex1.14 on it - which I've never used as I've never flashed this phone before)
but..I can't connect to my phone, when I plug the usb cable in, I get the screen which asks me which type of connections I want Active sync, disc drive etc, but the screen on my phone is totally unresponsive. the screen then disappears and I'm nowhere...
If I can't connect to my phone, how do I run the file to flash back to 1.14 as per the instructions?
thanks
hm i would try it in bootloader mode?
USB

If you take the battery out and make sure the USB is not connected.
After a few seconds, put the battery back in.
Next press the down button on the side of the phone and keep it pressed, press the power button as normal.
Does anything appear on the screen?
Next, if you get the coloured screen with 'Serial' at the bottom, if you plug in the USB cable and connect to a PC, does 'Serial' change to read 'USB'.
If it does all of this, your phone is not dead.
I've had to try a different machine..which is working....thank god.
but the issue now is that our virus software is preventing me from downloading USPL2.5, is there another way to to use this file? I know that people have experience issues with this before (although not necessarily this particular file) and they have used a wrapper to bypass the virus protection pop up
ok..ignore that...I don't need it, my phone is not CID locked.
thanks to everyone though. I was in major panic mode for a while
I was going to try the Stock HTC ROM upgrade tonight, but my phone is an early Orange no splash screen or orange branding but it definately locked to orange....
do I have to unlock it prior to doing even the HTC ROM upgrade?

You may have to. Just try the rom upgrade. If it yells something about an "invalid vendor ID" just use USPL to apply the rom upgrade. If you need information on how look at the guide in my signature.

Yeah you can load any 1.56 rom whether it is cooked or original using USPL (if your SPL is 1.54.0000 in the bootloader).
