Help needed! All roms keep hard-resetting themselves after a few hours! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right place for asking this, but I'm in quite a big problem.
I've had my HTC Diamond since December and I've flashed it to several different roms many times since then. Never had any problem at all.
But during the past two weeks my phone just started acting crazy. It would all of a sudden crash and even if I took out the battery and placed it in again, it wouldn't boot up. I'd have to wait until I got back home to flash the ROM again, so I could keep using the phone.
BUT the problem is that ever since then the ROM keeps hard-resetting itself every few hours. Sometimes it might last for a day or two without doing anything weird. But all of a sudden it might just crash, and when rebooting the phone would act as if it was the first time running the phone (you know, with the screen calibration, time settings and all... and then having to import all of my contacts and calendar again, not to mention any application).
This hard-reset also happens randomly when I turn the phone off and on again. Sometimes it loads up normally, sometimes it goes to factory settings again.
Now, I wouldn't be so worried if this wasn't happening WITH EVERY SINGLE ROM that I'm trying. Both Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 roms. Even those that I've used in the past without any problem. They all hard-reset themselves at some point or crash and get unable to boot until I flash another ROM again.
I've also tried fully hard-resetting the phone myself -both the phone memory and the internal memory- and even flashing different Hard-SPLs and Radios.
It still goes on the same though.
Anyone has any suggestions?
Or is my phone dead forever now?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Have you tried to instal stock roms? If they work, install cooked rom with the same version as stock. Might help.

I have the same problem since a few days... Have you solved it yet?

I'm having extactly the same strange issues... Does anyone have any idea on why this is happening? I'm going out crazy!

This happens sometimes after you've installed numerous ROM's.
You'll need to use an app called 'Mtty' to sort out the problem, then flash ROM again and it should work fine.

Look on google/do some research before using to make sure you understand what it is mtty.exe is, and how to use it.

thank you for your quick answer cymru, but i resolved flashing a stock rom and then reflashing the cooked one ad suggested by kosherpig.
Bye!

Strange problem (phone hard-resets itself)

Hey everyone, I had a recent issue (not sure if it's still there) and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what's going on. Anyway here's what happened:
I have had my Diamond for almost 2 months, I flashed a new ROM cause the one I was using (Franlov V3) was running a bit slow, I used DIBB v1.33, flashed, hard-reset and it was working ok but then it froze (or was really sluggish) so I reseted, and the phone took the reset as a hardreset, weird stuff, when it booted it was incredibly sluggish, so I turned it off, when I turned it on, bam, another hardreset. And well it pretty much entered a hardreset cycle.
I thought it was a problem with DIBB's ROM so I changed to another ROM and whenever I reseted ,the phone hardreseted. And this has been going on with multiple ROMs.
I searched and found a possible solution: leave the phone overnight without battery then reflash HardSPL, Radio and ROM, I did that yesterday...and had the same issue, till I flashed Dutty's 3.6, the only problem now is that drop-down lists, don't drop down. Any help (so it doesn't happen again) would be really appreciated.
I have the same problem

Strange freezing problem with phone

I'm not sure if it a freezing problem or it just won't accept any input
Basically after my Kaiser has been on charge overnight I will get around to using it and can't. What will happen is the screen & buttons will not work, although they can be used for a split second every 3 seconds.
After a reset everything is back to normal, so I'm not sure what the problem is, I don't have a lot of programs installed and only 1 has been install in the past month which is A2DP Today Toggle, so far I've un-installed it and left it again but I still have the problem.
Thanks for any help
I have a similar problem. In the morning i have to soft rest the phone for it to work. Issues started after 6.5 upgrade. There must a solution somewhere in here..........
Does a hard reset fix the problem? Does this happen with every ROM you've tried?
I have only stuck with the official rom, I bought it on 6.0 and then updated to 6.1 after it's release. A hard reset does fix it but some time after it will return, bear in mind this has never done it previously just about a month ago.
I guess it might be a issue with some program that is being installed

My Diamond also stuck in infinite reboot loop !

I bought this phone hardly used from Canada and was simlocked so I did all the hard spl'ing, sim unlocking and all the other "ings and installed the brilliant DonSalari ROM worked beautifully for around 7 months and I took care of it. I never installed anything else of messed about with any settings.
But two days back after heavy usage the battery almost died and I came on put it on recharge and now its going into the reboot loop.
I hard reset it, reflashed the radio, took out the battery for hours and a lot of other things I read about here and none of them work.
It will sometimes boot up and become normal for a few minutes and after a while go back to its cycle. Currently it wont even stay on long enough to hook up to my PC. But sometimes holding the reset button helps and that was how I was able to reflash the radio
Anybody got any ideas. My phone is still newish and I seriously cannopt afford a new one now
Any advice would be more than welcomed
Thanks in advance
You could try the radio 10.00.25.05.
As least for me, all radios but 10.00.25.xx makes my diamond keep in this reboot loop.
I'm trying to figure out why that happen, but it seems that no one knows.
Hi, i've just got this same problem
had this phone for a while now, about 15 months, just finished a phonecall 5-10 minutes ago phone reset, thought how odd, and now it just keeps resetting after the loading screen disappears, have now hard reset it, and still doing it.
will try flashing a new radio see if it solves it
i have radio version 1.17.25.09 using 2.07 shaks which have been using for the last 6 months or so i think without any troubles!
*edit*
flashed 10.00.25.05. seems to be working now
annoyingly i hard reset first and i've just had a new harddrive on my pc so lost all my contacts
thanks

Just after buying my diamond I changed to hardspl, radio and rom, and it was like your situation, just after a few days working I had to hard reset, because it starts to auto reset. After the hard reset, everything was fine again for a few more days. Then I tried to change the radio to the more used one, 10.00.25.05. The problem was gone until some days ago, when I decided to try Security Unlock and 1.17.xx radio, and the problem was back. I reverted to 10.00.25.05, everything was fine again, except the wifi, now I can't connect to the internet, just to local network (no problems with other phones using the same wifi hotspot).
Before chaging back to 10.00.25.05, I have also tried a lot of things, many hardspl, mtty, different roms, security unlock, removed security unlock, diferent radios, but the only ones that really worked were: 10.00.25.xx and 10.02.xx. With 10.08.xx radio I could partially use the phone, but sense 2.5 didn't worked and neither phone network.
Now I'm using 10.02.25.32 for 1 day and a half. No problems until now, no resets, network and sense working fine, battery is good (it's 75% on the second day). I'll try for more days and see if everything is ok.
Sorry for your contacts
That happened to me once, now I always backup my contacts in internal storage and also in 2 computers. Lots of version, good that PinBackup writes the date on the file, easier to see which one is newer
Thanks for sharing your situation. I'm trying to figure out what can be done to solve this problem, more experiences is more information for my "research"
lucky I had a backup from december so still got most of them!
I may try a few radio's next week since i've got a lot of free spare time at the mo.
may try a few different roms as well and see how it goes!
Finally solved this and all it needed was a good 15 hour recharge and now its back to completly normal
hrmm, mine starting rebooting again earlier, again just after a phonecall, although this time i was driving and i didn't answer it but it kept rebooting, taking the battery out for a few minutes and its stopped now, will try flashing a different rom next week and see what happens
i'll leave it to charge overnight too, i did try a different battery incase it thought the battery was low as i'm using the offical extended one, but still did it with the original
restarting prob...
hello same problem here too..plz provide me the link too..for the radio 10.02.25.32

Well the hd on my computer fried not long after posting my last message so I didn't get time to try out different roms/radio's
still using the 10.00.25.05, since i've last posted its been fine, however it has started to reboot itself sometimes, battery showing as 30/40% starts rebooting then battery shows as 2%, although i've recently been moving between houes and haven't had time to charge it properly.
i've also noticed HSPDA recention is a million times better with this radio, I have another diamond (well my partners) and she barely gets good reception with HSPDA, in our home i generally get 2-3 bars and she can't get anything, she's using 1.17.x.x strangly she's never had the phone restart with her, and has been using that radio longer than I had been.
also for the radios, you can either search for the thread or click this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306

[Q] I'm finally asking for help

Ok, A few months ago I got an old(ish) Tilt. It was heavily used and I wanted to install a fresh operating system. I figured if I am going to flash it I might as well instal WM6.5 on it (it had 6). So far so good. I got HardSPL on it, flashed my ****, all good. My phone was working fine. My issue is in the fact that after a few hours though, the phone will slow down or die or something and I will restart it, and then it will not pass the splash screen. At first I figured I bricked it because I tried one to many ROMs and maybe one was bad. I left my phone alone only for a few months later be in a need of a phone so I searched all over these forums, googled my problems, and found out I can actually flash my phone without starting it by pressing the power and camera buttons. I started doing that, going through tens of ROMs but tey all seem to have the same problem. After a certain amount of time they will not boot up again. I unlocked my phone, I even tried cooking my own rom which failed. I am just lost. Why wont any of these ROMs last for more then a few hours?
The phone is am HTC Tilt, HTC Kaiser, It has been unlocked using the KaiserUnlocking utility, has HardSPL, and right now has WM6.1 on it because I needed it to unlock. I am not certain if 6.1 has these same problems as this will be the first time I have installed it. All I am wondering about is why wont these ROMs last after a few resets and a few hours of use. Is there some "anti-piracy" thing built in the kills them? I don't even know. Please if anyone knows anything and can help me out, all I want is a clean, vanilla if you will, phone that doesn't need to be constantly re-flashed. I need a working phone. Preferably WM6.5 but at this point I will settle for anything that isn't too unstable and slow.

Restarting in random moments. New rom needed?

Hello,
I am here because i have another problem with my lovely phone :/
You guys always helped me so i hope you will do it again.
Okay,
My phone is restarting in random moments. Screen is freeze for 1-2 seconds and then rebot. It is doesn't matter if phone is used hard (games) or if it's on the table.
1st time it happend with ROM 5.1.2. Then i've decided to go back to 4.1 rom and then automatic upgrade to 4.3.
Few days was okay and after then it starded again.
Does someone know why i have that issue??
I really hope that is only rom problem and if i change it the problem will gone.
And here's second part of thread.
What oryginal rom do you recomend? I have saw a lot of them but i have no idea what could i install.
Right now i have stock rom, i do not remember exactly number but i has "James Bond" music so i am sure it was one rom from that edition...
Edit:
If you find any better rom than stock 4.3 that is really stable i can take it as well
I jsut want my phone wokrks without any problems
Please, halp :fingers-crossed:
Try to run phone in a safe mode and see if the problem with restarting still exists.
I would suggest you to use this CM 12.1 rom it is working just great.
It could be a problem because i have no idea whenit will happen.
Now few days was great only today morning i saw that it restarted.
Hmm, for the first time restarts like this started with that rom... but i will give it another chance i think.
Then maybe an app are causing that random restarts or it may be a hardware problem. It even may be that sim card causing restarts, I have read something about it.
Btw I'm using that rom from the very first builds and I havent have any problems with phone restarts.
I had few restarts when sim card was loose but i have information that phone is restarting.
About app it's not the problem because even if i had no apps downloaded i had that problem
I hope i haven't destroyed my phone when i installed some roms. That would be bad.
For now i will try to instal CM 12 and i hope the problem will go away.
Edit.
And may it be just a battery problem?
Btw. I just did factory reset and already got few restarts, so i am sure it's not an app that causing the restart.
Okay i have watched that phone for a while and found new, fresh informations...
Even in a safemode phone cause to restart. It is no matter if i have a sim/sd card.
I also think it is getting hotter every restart but i am not sure about this.
When i was traveling by train it was restarting like a stupid... The phone was loosing signal and was changing to roaming etc.
I don't know if it has something with that...
After changing to android 5 few days was good and then...
Also that problem started in 1 day. Just started restarting, without any sympthoms.
Oh and 1 what is strange... After the restart when i touch the square (to cloose the apps) there are apps that i have been using before that restart.
Please, help :c
Edit. A hour ago the phone was restarting over and over, it turned on and sudently after homescreen loaded it restarted again. And that was for some time, now it is working without any issues for over 1 hour...
Edit. 2
After the night, and many restarts as well i saw that battery dropped. From 90% to 20%.
May it be just a battery problem and changing it will solve that?
I have the exact problem for 3 weeks now, the phone becomes screen off then randomly reboot and gets very hot.After reboot battery goes down like from 49% to 10%. My phone is just 2.5 years old and everything ia stock. In battery test it shows like battery health is normal. I also only use gsm+umts, mostly umts, Is there any solution for this?
---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 AM ----------
This first started when i travelled by train, then it happened like crazy when i am on sub way, now even happens when i am at home
Sucha a big forum and noone knows the answer, daamn :c
I am really thinking about changing battery right now.
