Not Sure What you mean.
1. Go to comm manager
2. Hit WiFI and the wait icon starts (should be a quick spin and its on, but the icon goes on for a while).
3. Switch instead of turning green animates back to off.
I have not loaded anything other then SKtools that could change the registry or system in anyway (no other tweaks except Schapp's)
I looked all over this forum and found tricks for other HTC phones, tried one or two, but they are made for other phones. I looked over the GPS and in Google Earth disabled it. I have also done a hard reset. I also get a device.exe error.

Please somebody help us. My diamond's wi-fi doesn't work. I try a lot of tfink. I try a lot of time hard reset. And several times upgrade diffrent roms. Now i use 1.37.401 europa rom. But my diamond's wi-fi still not work.

same here.. any news?...

Did you set your battery for best performance in the wifi configuration? If not, try it and see if it works then

Yes.. the wifi is not working ,... the same for the gps...

Mines the same. Done a soft reset - nothing. Done a hard reset and all seems fine for the mo.
Got my phone from orange.

hard reset u mean erase all and start like new?
with this hard reset.. the same problem... any other option??

No Wify
I have the same problem. No wify. A "device.exe" error appear. Is there any solution?

I have the same problem with german htc touch diamond and several roms.
I think the hardware has an error. Bull**** !!!
Has anyone an other idea?

I had this issue with my S710, if you turned the wifi on it would flip to on for a second before going back to off - only happened if I has it hooked up to a pc via usb. Not sure if its the same with the diamond?

I couldn't enable Wifi properly on my last phone despite hard and soft resets. After trying lots of times, I gave up and sent the phone back to Orange. I currently have a Diamond Touch that has no problems enabling, but can't connect to my router using WPA2.

I think I have the solution for wifi / wlan problems on diamond
Over one week i try to start my wifi (100 hardresets, 5 new ROMs) and then i believe it is an hardware error.
Under ...\connection\wifi\ was not the tab "wireless", only the tab "networkcards"
My last try was the solution:
1. In my HTC Kaiser is the same wifi-hardware
2. I export the registrykey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511" from the kaiser to a .reg-file
3. I delete this registrykey on the diamond and import the .reg-file from the kaiser
4. Before I can start wifi i make about 5 softresets and try to start
5. But the start was only successful when I make first a connection to the pc with ActiveSync and then a softreset
This is my solution, please answer me when it works for you too
One problem is still there: after an usb connection wifi will not turn on. I must make a softreset but thats no problem for me.
Its the same what "huwwatkins" describe at #13 with the S710
Here is my regfile from kaiser

I have heard of this... The wifi does not go on but the bluetooth does. I was told it was a bad chip.

same here, called retailer today. told me HTC is working on a fix. will be available in about two weeks. let ya know

Same problem here..
I have the same problem. Tried everything - no luck. Thinking of turning it in for repair - should I flash the original SPL/ROM for warranty reasons or can they tell it's been flashed anyway ?

wifi working fine on mine
i have no problems at all

NEWBIE- I read the Vista Rom Upgrade threads but still need help

Hi, I have an HTC 8125, and I desperetely want to flash it with a WM 6 ROM, But I only have Vista, and I am having so much trouble following the threads on doing this with Vista, that I am going to have to give up if I don't get some advice. I have downloaded the Wizard Tool, but it won't ever recognize that my phone is connected, even though Mobile Device Center says "connected". I tried using the program HARD SPL G4, but when it makes the screen go white on my wizard, mobile device center automatically says not connected, and at that point even though I get the screens to proceed with the new Rom, they dont work because my phone is no longer connected and nothing that I do lets it connect to mobile device center while the screen is white. I have to reset the phone and then the rom update doesnt work anymore.
Please help, even if it is pointing me to a topic or post that I don't know about. I have spent 12 hours reading and failing over and over with this.

Simple answer to all of your problems is Vista,Do it on a WinXP machine there won't be any problems.
Although,its possible to unlock and flash through Vista,but its still not compatible,WinXP is highly recommended.

Restoring contacts from an HTC diamond with black screen

Hey guys, I have a problem here,
After installing Leng Arabic on my HTC Diamond phone the phone reset itself, I got a message saying Caching arabic then the phone reset itself again all the way to show me the HTC Logo followed by a black screen that only shows the signal power, unfortunalty i have a key lock on my phone so i am unable to connect it to the PC using activesync and I get the following message " You have failed to unlock your device. To connect or synchronize with this PC, please disconnect your device and try again." as The screen is just black I am unable to unlock the phone.
Can you please advise if there is any way to get access the contacts before doing a hard reset? I managed to access the bootlaoder screen using the volume down and the rest button and I get HTC USB sync in my device manager but i am unable to get anywhere inside the phone from there?
Many thanks in advace

I take it you cannot connect to activesynch from the bootloader? I dont really know what you mean by 'keylock', but ive messed up a few htc phones bit as long as i can get to the bootlader ive been fine. I think sprite allows you to make a backup from windows as well as your phone. Maybe try running that from the bootloader. I dont have my phone with me (!!!!) but i think i have sprite 6.5.4

[Q] Broken HTC Touch Diamond

i am having a problem. I dropped my HTC Diamond and cracked the screen. the screen is no usable at all. The buttons at the bottom work but nothing on the screen works. Now, i need to get the contacts off of the phone, as i have bought a the new HTC Hero Android. But, the problem is when i goto sycn the broken phone to my comp. i can only get it to go into windows explorer. It won't create an Activsync connection. Reason being is when the diamond worked i remeber having to touch the screen to choose between 2 connection options (activsync or disc drive) now i can't do that.(broken touch screen) is there any way to get the contacts off of it? I have a link to a forum i was on, that i can send in a private message. if someone could help me would be awesome. thanks

odds are the touch works even if the screen doesnt.
you may also be able to select with the direction pad.

ACTIVESYNC Reply
Just ActiveSync real quick, an you'll be good to go.
You should be able to ActiveSync just like before. On mine, if it was the last means of USB connection, ActiveSync will fire right up when you plug in. If the last item picked before the screen went bad was "USB Drive", just use the down arrow key to get back to what would've been "Activesync" mode.
Good Luck.

Broken WiFi for htc Diamond :(

Hi guys, I mingled with my phone last night and installed this android build i saw on neopeek, it said it has 3d drivers and camera working so i thought idd give it a shot. I installed it and it worked pretty fast , then i wanted to download an app and started wifi.
It took longer than usual to activate so i went to settings (i activated it from the power control widget 1st) to check out whats going on. And wifi it was saying activating .. error. I tried a few times when i said to myself , oh well, good build , but wifi aint working.
I returned to windows mobile and now i cant activate it anymore not even in windows mobile. I tried everything, soft reset, hard reset, installed a stock rom, nothing works
can anyone help me ? is it broken hardware ? should i use the heat gan on the wifi chip ? what should i do ? thanks
this is what the guy says to do

hi, i installed your rom, replaced the kernel for the camera to work, and i tried logging into wifi, it said error. i returned to windows mobile and now the wifi doesnt work in windows mobile either. is there something i can do ? thx
i remember that in early version it happens. I thinks the solution was to reset our device until windows recognize wifi.
i tried everything, soft reset, hard reset, installed a different rom with new radios, nuthin` worked. I think the wifi is broken hardware
Also When im in windows mobile and i go to device information , i can see the bluetooth mac address, i cant see wifi anywhere in the hardware tab
Sorry for editing once again , just wanted to say i tryed MTTY format + ROM installation, and its the same, i guess its hardware broken and i need a heatgun, will post updates, if anyone cares

200+ views and no answer. Thats pretty sad, i guess im posting so i can bump it in front, maybe someone sees it and can help somehow.

you don't see wifi MAC address under hardware..
I had same problem, changed bottom buttons(contains wifi chip as well) and now working
I changed them because they had pretty bad scratches.
you can get those pretty cheap on ebay.
if reassembing, make sure you connect screen and buttons ribbon cable(they don't snap in)

solved
Okay first of all i would like to thank the person who posted an answer , it really helped.
I didnt even buy new buttons, i just disconnected the phone from all the connectors (display, buttons, etc.), and reconnected. It was really hard reconnecting the display but i did it in the end. Now wifi works once again !
One happy camper here !
If you guys have the same problem , and have enough patience to disassemble and reassemble , this is your answer !
Mods, you can rename this one as solved
