My G1 one is faulty, the screen is white with lines going down it, I believe it is a hardware issue and nothing to do with flashing so I want to flash the phone back to its original out of the box software.
I realise I can't see the screen but I think I can flash the update and leave it long enough to be sure it has worked.
But I can't seem to find the uk software anywhere, all the unroot guide are for the rc33 US version can anyone help!!!!
Can anyone guide me to correct page and is it possible to unroot without being able to see the screen(Might be a stupid question)

I've recently gotten a Touch Diamond from Verizon and I'm looking to flash it. I have experience from flashing and cooking for my original Touch, but I've found this Diamond to be much more stubborn/fickle.
I'm interested in flashing a new Bootloader, Radio, and ROM on to the phone because the default install is disappointing (resource usage). I've all over this site, google, and modmydiamond.info and haven't been able to resolve my issue, so I'm looking for additional help by posting.
When trying to load a bootloader (Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED, and the Jockyw2001 Hard-SPLs), my phone will prompt me, saying something is trying to run on my phone, I tell it to allow it, and the spinning color wheel comes up then freezes after a short amount of time. The installer on my computer will eventually time out. I restart the phone and it's good to go. I guess I'd like to start there, I think if I can get a Hard-SPL loaded I should be able to do the rest without much issue. Current bootloader information reads:
Security Unlocked
DIAM400
SPL-0.58.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v81
PSOC-Diam STAGE_EVT_v20
Serial
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
I've done some more digging and trying and, I've obviously come across this thread in this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544872. When trying to lock or unlock my phone using the links provided in that thread I get "Invalid Model ID".
Edit: Just realize it's not intended to work on Verizon phones... Any help is appreciated.
God I cant find a solution for this either
Did you try the HARD RESET and after the HARD RESET not letting phone load, instead pressing POWER/DOWN to go into bootloader?
Uhm... Is it Sprint? or Verizon?
If it's Sprint, let it reboot and install .NET CF 3.5 before launching Diamond Unlocker.exe
If it's Verizon, try using the SSPL-manual.exe <-- it's posted everywhere.
Good luck!
That doesn't work
sspl manual just gets you to the point where you realize that the hardspl doesn't work on verizon diamonds... wrong model #. us VZ users could really use a new cellphone company that doesn't cut the specs of a great phone down to that of a Motorola VU204... stupid big red...
Hi I have an AT&T Tilt2. Ive been trying to flash it for about a month now. I was able to flash my pure without a single issue. I have loaded SSPL ran it on my phone then started manual flash. It Jumps from 0% to 100% then shows Error [266] Flash Write and says IU434 in the bottom corner of HardSPl. I have searched and searched and cannot figure out what im doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this has already been brought up and solved please point me to it. Thanks in Advance.
Why not just let the pros unlock your Tilt2?
Im not wanting to unlock it i just want to flash a different rom to it.
Problem solved i finally got it.
Hello i apologize for starting a new thread, but i have looked through the boards/sticky's and have been able to find any information about where to get started. my friend owns a completely stock touch diamond from bell (so i assume its cdma). Ultimately he would like to flash android or a better WinMo rom, can you possibly point me in the right direction or tell me what i have to do first (i hav no idea how to get into the bootloader/recovery to check the spl etc.)
thank you in advance
Hi everyone really sorry for opening a new thread for a G1 brick.
My G1 has stuck at the T-Mobile screen and on pressing Camera+Power i cant get into fastboot to restore using the .nbh file.
I am not able to get into recovery using power+home key also.
There has to be a way to get my dream back....
please please please help
JTAG or go for a replacement. I'm guessing it's a DangerSPL brick, right?
Danger SPL
Yes dude....
i have done this so many time.....
this time i forgot to update the radio first and this is stuck....
Someone should have a solution for this....
I read many thread which say use it as a paperweight...
I am not loosing hope....
XDA Member will have some solution.....
Maybe you should try to keep current on developments.
There is NOT A SINGLE REASON to use the deathspl.
As for your "poll"... what do you expect to learn from something like this? Do you realize that any numbers you get will be completely MEANINGLESS?

Sure there is as its one if the few full engineering spls. And I don't think your latest development will ever be quite as user friendly (however some more configuration it will be very close)
The real user friendly fix/patch for 1.33.2005 (those that know what they are doing can decide if any benifit of the spl exists) is an assertion statement in the recovery script to check the radio version is not one of the two common 1.x ones.
(the evil patch is to make the assertion somehow also autoinstall the lattest Rogers e911 patched rom if the user has the 1.x radio. Because atm the rogers rom appears to be very safe from the user messing up the boot chain.. actually we may need to "perfect" the spl a bit more I think it will let us erase hboot)
I am still a newb to the android scene - and do believe I as well made the same mistake - and have bricked my G1.
If eveything I've read is accurate, I can purchase a donor phone - broken screen, or other issues - so long as the mother board is still good.
Swap out the new mother board for the bricked one, and have a working phone again - right ?
Have an opportunity on a donor phone - have no issues pulling phones apart, and putting them back together
But just want to make sure I understand the basics
Thanks in advance for any replies
Motherboard only option ?
Is replacing the motherboard the only option left ?
I am not sure i would be able to do that
Worst day of my life i screwed up big time
Any help is appreciated.
Some tool to recover back to original.
I can understand there is no way to repair as I am not able to get into recovery nor fastboot so cant adb also...
youtube

There is no tool to get it back except by the options listed above. If you are not going to switch the mobos in the G1 then you won't be able to do the other option either. There is no software that can bring your G1 back after a deathspl.

mine bricke in cause of a radio update,
i tried all which was in my head,
and all i can do
but after some nights spending to my phone i found this:
i copied my nand backup to root of sd,
and connected it to pc
first he told me, device not known
so i tried to boot the modified recovery,
and *tada* i was in recovery mode,
plz try and tell me if it fix your problem,
for mine it did
best regards,
psycho
Mine is also due to radio update dude, before flashing spl the radio has to be flashed i and forgot to do that.
Will try out your suggestion, just hoping that it work and my g1 is back to life.
Ne ways appreciate your suggestion.
Please let me know if you were able to get into recovery mode prior to putting the files on the sd card.
And if you could tell me the list of files (if u had nething other then the nand update) which you put on the sd card, i can replicate the exact process.
Thanks,
Chinmay
Hope
Is there any hope to get the G1 back to life from the Death SPL Brick ?
You should read instructions carefully man. Its not that hard. You should always verify that you have a compatible radio before flashing DangerSPL.
There is a method to recover your device and it involves a lot of time and patience. Google "JTAG".
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
"JTAG".
me too, my G1 Bricked (Not able to fastboot). but i wanna know if the JTAG method work 100%.please.
Hi People
I am not sure whether this is the correct section, but it is still ROM related.
Recently, my phone does not want to wake up sometimes...I press the button and the screen remains black..after few minutes it goes back on but is unresponsive..I have to reset my phone...this is very annoying as for example my alarm also did not sound becuase of this - I was almost late for work...
In conclusion, my 560 EUR phone is not reliable anymore and is still under warranty - I want to have it replaced.
That is where my question comes - How can I completely virginize my phone?
I always used USPL while flashing...
I will perform Task29 and should I flash some stock ROM before I go to give it to service?
If so, what is the appropriate stock ROM for my phone?
What else should I be aware of when virginizing?
Please help me guys, I really want my phone fixed or replaced - it could be the motherboard causing this and I dont want my phone to die...
THANK YOU!!

Dear friend,
first let's know what ROM have you installed on your device? I'm sure the problems that you've mentioned are not hardware problems, and in fact they are related to the ROM, since I have the same problem sometimes with some ROMs and some application. I had problem with alarm clock several times, just after flashing Energy ROMs! I reported this matter, but nobody paid attention, so I downgrade my device to kwbr WM6.1+sense2.1, now I have no problem with alarm clock.
about the another problem, I still have this problem, but I think it is related to WKTask! sometimes when I turn my device off by WKTask shortcut, I encounter the problem that you pointed, but it's not the case if I turn it off by hardware key.
Same question
I have used HSPL
and have tried several roms
Few days back my touchscreen stops responding.
flashed differnet roms but no difference. so i think its a hardware problem
(kinda works sometimes so may be just a loose link)
I want to send it for repair under warranty.. so can someone tell me how to get back to factory settings of Touch HD (German)
Prajwal
Ah, now we have 2 different cases.
1. Flash with USPL
2. Flash with HSPL
I'm almost sure that "virginizing" is described on HD Wiki, but nevermind...
Case 1. is nice and easy...
Go to HTC site and try to find update for your device. Before that, write serial and IMEI (not sure which one is needed, both are under the battery).
If there is "No suitable update", then you are in big trouble... try to find what was original ROM which was on device when it was delivered.
Case 2. is bit difficult... you HAVE TO remove HSPL and restore original SPL, then proceed as described in case 1. I think for german ROM was SPL 1.54
However, I have bought my device recently (with German ROM), but maybe earlier devices had some other SPL...
Check HD Wiki anyway...

Ah... [TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL] has at least one important thing for you: stock SPL...
Thanks Guys...
I didnt think of checking the wiki...
Ill go there, and also do what you suggest...
I guess the issue is not related..I flashed a new ROM from different cook and it happened.
Nevermind...I will virginize and then have it fixed or replaced...
THANKS!!

From my experience, HTC is usually ok as long as the SPL is an official one. No matter the one came with your phone or other older/newer version.

since you just use USPL, you just need download the official ROM from HTC page by inserting your HD serial number under ROM download. then flashed it. it think this step will solve your warranty issue.
