Is my phone fried?

I posted a question last week and I was installing the ROM and windows crashed. My phone now has the bootloader screen (colored screen with USB in the corner). I had already upgraded to 2.17 which was fine. Any thoughts?

If you can still access the bootloader you have not fried your phone. Get it into bootloader - plug in your USB and connect to your PC and run the ROM upgrade again. If it fails again check the ROM is a good version ( re-download if your not sure) Failing that, do the process on a different PC.
BTW you do not need to run Activestink on the PC.
Best of luck :lol:

USB cables

Hi to all,
i wanted to flash my radio rom to 1.50 but each time i put pda to boot mode it is always writen Serial not USB. I tried to flash it from SD card but it does flashing but when i reboot it is still old radio rom. Then i changed usb cabel and in boot mode it gives me USB connection.
I bought new one (1.8m long and tried it, again it gives me Serial. Tried several cables same story. Is there difference in usb cables?
So if you can not do hardspl, if it gives you error 260 and no usb in white part of boot screen just try other usb cable.

I read guides.There is nothing ther about usb cable. My point was that it works with some cables and with some it doesn't.

You don't happen to use Vista, do you? In case you do, read here!
...and I've told you to read the guides because flashing from the SD Card works in every case, if you make the procedure right (have HardSPL installed and you do it the way described here.)

this is not my first time to flash pda and i am not using vista.
It was my experience that wile i was in bootstarp screen (tricolor screen) while changeing several usb cables, with 3-4 of them it gave me only Serial connection but whith only with one of them it gave me USB connection on white screen and i could flash radio rom. Strange thing is thaht i can do synchromization with all of them. I tried it also on other computer with XP.
Maybe is something with my pda.
Oh yes i ahave hardspl 1.30.

OliPro 1.30 has been reported with some issues, maybe that's why you can not flash with SD Card. I'd say to install Des' Crash Proof SPL but then you can not flash because of USB issue.

I have similar problem, need to first put the pda in booloader mode.
After that my usb connection is somehow stalled and the pda shows a serial connection.
Then i either have to reboot the computer or use another usb bus, to get the pda connected with usb.. Has nothing to do with the cables, but the fact windows is winblows.... (xp in my case).
Perhaps this is another issue tho..

I can do flash with one cable it is working fine.
Why do you recommend Des' Crash Proof SPL. What is difference from hardspl? Except maybe less issues ?

this made my day and allowed me to flash in vista (twice) without breaking a sweat!

HARDspl won't install T_T

Guys,
I've been trying to install HardSPL to get this Touch X 9.0 Rom..
But every time i try to install it ask's me if i've connected the phone properly to the USB etc..
What can I do T_T ?
The phone is fully syncronized with ActiveSync

you can try other usb slot or a new computer .

1) To be ultimately sure, take out everything that is connected on all USB ports (and I mean, ALL) EXCEPT your Xperia. Also, uncheck the "Advanced Network Functionality" of ActiveSync.
2) If you have the same problem after following my advise, change to another USB port. Try every single port.
3) If you still get disconnections, try another computer (or laptop).
4) Problems still persist? then check your USB cable itself (or the USB ports) if it is faulty.

USB only works in SPL. No device found when in WM

It was always working. But now when I connect it to the PC. Only battery charging, no usb device recognized (nothing will show in my computer). I have tried different PCs, all are the same.
And if I boot into Hardspl four color screen, usb can be found. So I flashed different Radios and Roms, even latest stock WM6.1 ROM. Still the USB only works in SPL but not Windows Mobile Interface.
I think it maybe a software problem. But since it is now with stock WM6.1 and Radio, what can I do further?
Thanks!

try to disable "Enable faster data synchronization" under the USB to PC settings and try again.
the USB to PC settings are usually in Start->Settings->Connections.
other than that, i can't think of much else but i'm certain someone else can come up with some more suggestions.

Thanks! I have tried that already after searched over google and xda. But it doesn't work. No usb device show up when I connect the Kaiser. Only battery charging.
Does spl USB mode use different pins from Activesync? Forgot to say, I flashed Hardspl with force-usb.
Maybe like this, the USB port detects PC host before it activate USB function. In spl, the "force-usb" gets the USB port always activated.

changing the radio isnt going to make a blind bit of difference, although stating which rom you flashed and what windows version (PC) you are using might!
If its xp totally uninstall active sync and download the latest version from microsoft and install that
If its vista then download the latest version of WMDC and install that
also after flashing the rom, as soon as you have aligned the screen and customization has completed soft reset and when it reloads go and clear storage.
Did you have a biug storage rom installed before it failed to connect to USB?
Thats about all i can suggest till you supply more info

Thank you for those suggestion. I thought flash new roms will automatically hard reset the Kaiser. I will try to use "clear storage".
The rom I last used is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533617
Before I flashed this rom, usb worked fine.
The problem is no device shown in Windows device manager, not even unknown device. Just like nothing has been plug into the USB port. But same cable and port work with another X1

i'm having the same problem as well after flashing b16b rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3996365&postcount=826
anyone have the solution ? even i chg the spl and flash the stock rom my activesync still won't functioning..the usb port only able to charge the battery only

I would check your pins in the charging port and make sure you can see 5 pins on top and they are not bent

What to do when computer doesn't recognize phone plugged?

I have a problem with the diamond and needs to change ROM/SPL and other stuff, but it won't recognize that the phone has been plugged in. I have tried 5 different USB cables and 3 different computers. I don't have HTC warranty. I've done 5+ hard-resets.
Please help.

First, what OSes? For instance: win 7 doesn't recognize the phone if it tries to connect in active sync mode.

I've always used windows xp, in the past it worked.

hi,
try to connect your htc twice : my computer does not recognize my htc at first plug but when I retry in less than 1 minute, my htc displays popup menu and I can choose USB/active sync, I click done and then my computer recognizes it. I don't know if it will work with your device but you can try that ^^

Thanks for the suggestion,
I've already tried that a lot of times, nothing doing.

ok, did you try to change the status of your usb connexion ?
I mean : settings>connections>usbtoPC> then try these 4 combinations together :
- enable faster data synchronization (try both modes on/off)
- ask me about usb connection type (try both modes on/off)

I can get into bootloader, but never know that you could flash ROM in there. Is there a guide?
Also, I have a problem with a flickering screen that some threads here suggest changing SPL version to fix. Is it possible to change SPL using bootloader?

I just downoaded WM6.5 to my phone and did a ROM flash from internal storage, but USB still has problem & flickering screen still there. I need to be able to change the HardSPL w/o connection to the computer.
Is it possible to load some of the .exe in the HardSPL package and run it on the phone?
Someone help,
Thanks

Perhaps it's simply due to your PC firewall ?? Deactivate it and try to plug your htc again...

the problem is that my the computer doesn't connect with the phone via the USB cable.

just try to disable your PC firewall before connecting your device.

sorry I cannot find CustomRUU.exe on this forum, i did find DiamondCustomRUU.exe on the wiki. However, the interface for it is the same as the RomUpdateUtility.exe, which requires activesync connection.
I did proceed anyways by entering bootloader(Voldown + softreset) and run the utility -> nothing works. Then I try the USB trigger mode (Voldown + back + softreset) and run the utility -> nothing works.
I am tempted to put the HardSPL in the internal storage and rename it DIAMING.NBH and flash it but I do not know the consequences.
Thank you for your replies,
I'd appreciate more help
