Hi , ive had the issue with randomly being stuck in the SPL a few weeks ago but the problem seemed to just go away by itself . Yesterday i flashed a ROM and noticed that after the first or second reboot i was getting stuck at the boot screen (Not the SPL the screen after that with the info in red) .
Today i flashed back to my current ROM and noticed the same problem again when installing programs one cab would fail and all other installs after that . When i rebooted i got stuck at the boot screen (again not the SPL)
so after another try i finally got all programs installed and rebooted but when i reached the today screen my background was gone and i got an exception about the programs in the startup folder not being found .
After opening file explorer it seems most programs are corrupt and will not run . Has anyone got any ideas on what i should try to fix this ?
Update im afraid its not good news i tried to work around the problem with sprite backup but things seem to have got worse .
Im now permanently stuck at the smart mobility screen with my radio information being displayed in red . Ive tried flashing a new rom and hard reseting which is all perfectly stable but i just cant get past the smart mobility screen .
Whats weird is the led on the left is blinking green , Any ideas before i downgrade (tiltscreen) to a Sony X1 (Dpad and hardware buttons)
Similar...May Help Some

Hi there,
We didn't get there the same way, and I don't have the 'blinking green' LED, But I've got a similar "stuck" problem on the Forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508100
I'll follow yours and you can check this one out...I may be getting some help from 'higher powers' soon if I don't find a resolution on my own.
Wish I could actually ANSWER your question, and I'll let you know if I find anything else myself...

Am ok this is weird everythings back to normal now I turned it on this morning and it boots up fine no problems installing programs or anything .
Confused
That's Good...Though Agreed Confusing...News
Wow...so, good for you! I'm happy that your's did not proceed as mine has...or better said, has NOT.
Wish mine would just 'turn on and boot up fine', but it appears that I may be Murphy's bastard child.
Murphy has a theory of relativity that has nothing to do with Mass or the Speed of Light...
It simply states that if you're a relative of Murphy's, it WILL happen to YOU...hence the offspring reference.
On the other hand, confusion can be good...I'll bet it had you searching the Forum and finding out stuff you didn't know.
If nothing else, maybe you found some cool new ways to get into completely different kinds of trouble!
Glad to see your out of the glitch, hang in there...not by your neck!

Hi all. I got my Kaiser on Monday and am VERY pleased with it. Like pretty much all of the folks on this forum, I wanted to "upgrade" it a bit.
My problem is:
I installed the BBC file onto the mem card (2 gig). It said click OK to restart device. I did, but now it gives me the Windows Mobile screen and NOTHING else. The (left) indicator light is flashing green but nothing else is happening. When I press any of the buttons, they light up, but the screen does not change.
Mine is the HTC original rom, unlocked. The only thing I have installed on it is Skype.
When I call it, the incoming screen comes in over the WM startup screen but that's it. The phone works but the "Phone - Incoming" notification stays visible even after I have hung up.
I can connect and sync with ActiveSync, but the screen does not change.
Even after I take out the battery (because that's the only way to turn it off) and take out the mem card and restart, same thing happens.
I am in DESPARATE need of help!!!!!
Any suggestions as to how to "unbrick" my baby?
If there is any other info you wold need in order to shed some light on the issue, just let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all.
I found a way around the problem.
Apparently the file I got was a VERY old version. I did a hard reset (luckily I didn't lose anything as I only had it a few days) and installed the file from the link on this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327695 and it works fine now.
Thanks to all of you guys who already did the hard work in getting links, etc.
Later.
Dominic
Okay, I've searched and can't find this problem but hopefully somebody may have some ideas.
Quite frequently, I lose the top line of my display (the one with the start button and the system status icons). Everything else works but that line just disappears.
If I then lock the device it comes back. When I unlock it, it sometimes stays but sometimes disappears again once it's unlocked and I then have to turn my phone off and back on again.
I have a standard Orange UK phone, standard ROM and I've used some of the performance tweaks listed here. I've also disabled Touchflo and am using spb diary as my home page.
Anybody any ideas because this is driving me mad?
I had the same, but only when TF3D was deactivated. Since I use it again, it doesn't happen anymore...
It happens on my Orange diamond as well - stock 1.37 rom with TF3D enabled.
It seems to happen once every 4-5 days, and doesn't really have a pattern. Sometimes it's switching between Today and Second Today, sometimes it's rotating, sometimes it's unlocking etc..
flash a new ROM
Hello there.
Well i just recommend you to flash a new cooked ROM. I havent seen this behavior with a cooked ROM.
Best regards.
Well, at least it isn't just me but does anybody have any idea what causes the problem and how it can be solved.
Could it be something to do with glyph memory?
I used to see this sometimes on the orange rom. Since flashing a cooked rom makes the device twice as fast - and removes that problem - I would just flash it.

I know it's the wrong forum to say this but I'm just a bit scared to flash it because I've never done it before.
I'm worried about either a) bricking it or b) losing some setting that Orange put in to connect to their network (voice, data, voice mail etc).
Hi
I've had a similar Problem!
It seems to happen when I take the phone out of sleep cos I've got a text and its locked (I've set it for 30min).
I press the power button but the screen only half lights and the top line doesn't display. It sometimes says 'password' in the top left but does nothing if I press it.
I can slide along the bottom line but it doesn't work properly.
Interestingly I also have a Orange Diamond 1.37 ROM (which I've unlocked).
I'm gonna flash with HTC's ROM from there site and I'll let everyone know if the problem persists.
Wish me luck

Sorry for the delay. I tried the HTC site ROM but it just gave me a message saying 'Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device'.
So it looks like i'm stuck cos its still doing it about once a day just have to switch of and on again.

Okay. I still have the problem and am very, very tempted to try flashing a new ROM (and Radio). But I just can't quite work up the courage to do it since I've never done it before and it's the fear of the unknown.

This happens to me too. I have a T-Mobile Compact IV.
I've found that using FreeUP RAM (part of SKTools) not only releases memory, but also fixes this problem (until the next time it happens, which admittedly is not often).
Just wanted to say that I've upgraded my Orange ROM to the new 1.93 and I haven't had this problem....yet.
2 days without problems so I thought it may be safe to post.
IVe also had this on 1.37.x.x on my mda cmpct IV. Like everyone on here Im considering flashing but Im waiting for t-mobile to release an update (they keep telling me the will, presummably the 1.93.x.x) so that if I then brick the puppy - I can blame it on there rom upgrade.
I want this phone to be better, I know it can be with a ROM change...but I dont want to brick it and for once in my life will have some patience to wait.
Guys,
I'm in front of a peculiar problem in my HTC Touch diamond; it started around 2 weeks back when I powered on the device it got stuck up at the point where it displays "Touch Diamond" in white fonts in black background...normally, after this point the version details flash in red font at the bottom right corner... But in this case it's getting stuck up at this point not displaying the version details like R 1.09.25.23 …. etc.
assuming that the battery charge is low, I put the device on charging, then after flashing the centre (round) button white light twice or thrice, the device start reboot again and again got stuck up at the "Touch diamond" point, if I continue to charge the set, this cycle starts repeating endlessly.
Then, to check, I got the battery charged in an external charger for 24 hours, and also procured a thick battery (Model. DIAM171, Rating: 3.7 V DC & 1340 mAh) too, and kept the device open for 48 hours or so. The device started smoothly and was functioning well for next ten days.
Then this insect called "new ROM" started biting my brain (?), and at first I had flashed an unsigned hardSPL v1.40 Olinex. Then Radio 1.09.25.23 and then the Sone wwe 2.1. All the flashes were done individually, and successfully.
And by the way, I'm no monkey to this flashing thing too, of course, the courtesy and credit goes to the whiz kids of XDA-Developers for the learning imparted on me. Earlier I'd flashed i mate KJam, then HTC ARTEMIS successfully too.
But, alas, after running the new rom nicely for a few calls, and after one more soft reset, it has come back to square one. That is, "when I powered on the device it got stuck up at the point where it displays "Touch Diamond" in white fonts in black background...normally after this point the version details flash in red font at the bottom right corner... But in this case it's getting stuck up at this point not displaying the version ......"
Please help...friends.... plzzzzzzzzzzzz...help....
By the way, the device is going to the Bootloader smoothly on pressing the volume down button while soft reset.
I tried hard reset the device by pressing the round button and the volume down button while soft reset the device and did hard reset it successfully. Still the problem remains.. plz buddy, plz help...
Yep, found your post...after replaying to ur PM
But I'll post here my answer in case that anyone else could also been interested in it:
"Sorry to hear this issue, although I haven't seen this post in the forum...
Ok. based on your story I think that this issue has nothing to do with the cooked rom you've flashed.
It seems more like an SPL problem. I'd suggest to flash the latest HSPL, the 1.93 one.
Till now none complained about such kinda issue... They bricked the phone or they didn't...But such kind of intermediate behavior never heard...
An other suggestion, try to flash with a branded ROM (try downloading the latest official for ur device).
Waiting for ur feedback.
Good luck!"
at last my Diamond is working again...
Warm regards to Shaks1979 & SeatOne for ur kind and quick response... anyway, my diamond is working again......Yeterday... I had started flashing the Radio... earlier the Radio version was 1.00.25.03 (that came with my phone from the factory) which was upgraded to 1.09.25.23 as the ROM Cooker i.e. Seatone is too using this radio ( SONE v.2.1 WWE by SeatOne)
Yesterday, I flashed the Radio version 1.00.25.05 and the phone started working again.
Guys, as soon as the phone started working, I had flashed two more roms, just to understand what went wrong, & the ROMs are (v6.4FullHDTFl by christonge) and (XBMOD_V2 by xboxmod). The flashings went smoothly. At this moment my phone is on XBMOD_V2 Rom & Radio 1.00.25.05.
After seating back, I tried to understand what went wrong, why the phone was not going beyond "Touch Diamond" display point (in white font) and getting stuck up at that point before the R.... G..... etc version details appear on the screen with font colour red and background black.
The problem was with the Radio 1.09.25.23; but the mechanism of the problem went tangentially above my head, I'm in total darkness. Guys, can anyone of you genius can throw some light.
I shall wait for your inputs in the matter.
I have the same problem. After rebooting ok it goes to start up and gets stuck at the touch diamond screen with info about the radio and stuff in red. It won't turn on for me to re-flash it.
So you just fully charged it and left it a while without the battery in then tried again and it worked
Any help would be great... 8-s
Hello
Ive finally got round to putting new radios and ROM on my diamond, a year after buying. Didnt want to before now incase i cocked it up (theres a lot of things to remember!)
Hard SPL went fine and i was putting the new radio on (1.00.25.05 in this case) when, at about 80% of the way through the install my pc froze (as its having a habit of doing at the most awkward times recently!)
I soft reset the diamond but now its at what i assume is the bootloader screen (?), its got red, green, blue and white bars and various writing, along with a message saying 'Upgrade ROM code error Please try again'
I had a hunt round and found something for another device saying how to get it back by loading a factory ROM through the bootloader menu but i dont know how to do this as i dont have a connection to activesync (phone wont go beyond this screen) etc.
If someone could explain in relatively simple steps it would help!
I should also clarify that the only way i can get this screen off is to remove all power but as soon as i put power back on it loads up direct to this screen again!)
When you device is in bootloader mode, you dont need active sync connection. just run the update utility and it will work without it, as it uses different drivers when connecting.
This turned out to be quite easy actually, i stumbled across the answer somewhere else!
Thanks for the help
Hi guys,
I've got a bit of a problem with my friends X1...
A while ago I updated my X1 to WM6.5 and it works perfect...
But last week my friend asked me to update her phone as well, so I did
Now here's the problem:
After updating, the phone got stuck on loading, it didn't even get past the SE screen...
Turned it on and off for a couple of times, soft reset, hard reset, nothing worked...
I was still able to get the phone in the tri-colour screen, so I did, and I installed a stripped down version of WM6.5
And it worked!
But this afternoon she called me up to say that the phone was having problems again.
She often can't turn it on, and when she can it seems as if it has lost all of its memory again, comletely blank as if you just got it out of the box... (So you have to setup your screen again, the time and date etc...)
I did it exactly as id did mine, and mine still works perfect...
What could have gone wrong?
First I put Hard-SPL on the device.
Then I used the rom update utility from christian-web.nl/sections.php?section=Xperia_rom (I used version 3.810)
And thats it!
Does somebody have any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Rob
A few days back I read somewhat of the same story, about the phone hard resetting by itself. Can't recall where, but it was somewhere in the Xperia section of this forum.
Did you do a hard reset after flash? Or maybe task29 before flashing her phone?
Try the hard reset first and see if that helps.
