Slowly dying diamond. Help.

Hi. Ok, first of all I have done some research on the forum, but I haven't really found any answer for my problem.
I have a Htc touch diamond. And I installed a rom from the forum, i beleive it was the "shine"-rom. However now i gets weird....
The day after, everything was normal, and then all of a sudden my backlight gets really dim. Ok, could be a small bug i thought.
A few hours later it got darker and it was hard to see what was on the display.
And later on the evening it got almost all black. I couldn't quite tell what was what on the display.
The next day, and still, its totally dead. There is no light in the "ring" when i plug in the charger, and i cant get it to show any life.
I have tried everything, left it in the charger for a whole day, swapped battery, reset, hard reset, super hard reset. left it without battery for a day. Nothing.
Help me out. Any ideas?
Ps. There is no warranty on the phone.
Thanks!!

Wow... have not seen this before...
Even now, are you unable to even switch on your diamond? If you can't, don't see any way to revive it. If you can, try to flash another ROM and see if it improves...

How?
How can I flash it again, if I cant even turn it on? hmmm....

Help
Nothing? No idea?
I opened it up, but that didn't shed any major light on the situation....

Can you get it into bootloader? {Hold Vol. down button while pressing power}
If it will go into bootloader, you can flash from there

Nope. He can't even get it to turn on. Don't think it'll be able to boot into bootloader...

It just seems odd that bootloader won't even load. If it was something that damaged the OS then the BL should at least fire up. But, I just re-read everything again & see that there is no mention of Hard-SPL, so maybe it damaged the Boot sector as well.
If he didn't Hard_SPL then: This is a great example as to why you should always Hard-SPL before flashing anything.
If he did Hard_SPL: Then this is one for the medical journals {a disease that no-one's heard of & it's a killer}

Strange
Hi again.
I did actually Hard-Spl. And i have tried different ROM's earlier and I never had any problems.
I dont have a clue what to do, and without any warranty im basicly screwed.
I was thinkin, maybe I could get som spare part? Seeing how the "ring" doesn't even light up when I plug in the charger??

When my "ring" didn't light up I had to send the phone back to HTC and they changed the motherboard. Phone wasn't charging or turning on at all.

Trackball LED/Light stuck green

As the title says my LED on my trackball is stuck green. It started while using Cyanogen's latest rom. Dont know if this has anything to do with using mulitple ROMs and going back and forth between Sense UI and Cyanogen. I have done full wipes between switching roms but have also done Titanium Backup restore after the Roms boot.
I have deleted everything off my SD card (except music, pictures, and a couple update.zips) and done a full wipe in bootloader, ran Titanium Backup batch to delete backup files, and flashed a Desire rom and this problem continues... Any suggestions on how to get this problem fixed? I know i must be missing deleting/wiping something but I cant figure it out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. The trackball will flash other colors for notifications but reverts back to a constant green.

and you've done a full wipe of the data, caches (inc dalvik) and battery & rotating settings?
and you aren't doing a nandroid restore?

Yea. I'm using the amon-ra recovery image. And I did all the wipes that are available in his recovery. Also not doing any nandroid restores. I deleted all my nan backups to make sure they wernt causing problems.

Tried the tutorial to restore to original shipping ROM and settings to get the trackball LED to shut off. Also, I removed my SD card when doing these steps and rebooting.
DIDNT WORK :-( Nothing seems to get rid of/override the setting that is making the trackball stay lit. The ball also stays lit when in fastboot and recovery. Also stays lit when turned off but plugged into USB/charger...
Anyone else have any ideas? Willing to try about anything...

Have you tried pulling the battery out?

Yup, and when connected to USB/charger it lights up green...

Try the "LEDs Hack" app to see if it can turn it off, and then back on.
Maybe its a firmware/hardware problem

My LED is stuck at purple when I set it to flash white. Not a big deal for me, it isn't set to flash white anyway.

Just flashed cyanogen and tried "led hack" no luck. Other suggestions?

Constant GREEN trackball LED
Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Constant GREEN trackball. It does change colors etc but goes back to GREEN. Tried everything possible, but no luck.
There is Google thread which I cant post here where a good few people are having this issue.
If anyone knows a solution, that will be great
My only worry is that the trackball will use battery unnecessary..!!!

green trackball
I have the same issue with my nexus. Its been going on for a while. I've posted on this forum with no replies. I thought I was the only one.

Man I am still waiting for a solution

Is there any solution for this
My phone has the exact same issue and has been "stuck" with the green trackball for a couple weeks now. I've rooted, wiped, tried every trackball program and nothing shuts off the green trackball. Please anyone help

I had the same problem even if it was for only 1hr my trackball light was staying the color red and would not change back. I knew why the trackball was red because there was some water that got on the bottom of my nexus one. what I did and I don't know if this will fix the problem for any of you guys but I took the bottom cover off and made sure it was dry and free of dust then I removed the battery and it changed back to normal.

Try a stock rom
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

My phone has the same issue. I also tried everything including old stock roms and radio images.
I think replacing the trackball flex cable might fix it (no warranty for me..)

Your phone is under warranty.

Did anyone found a solution for this one?
I guess it is not software related but HW.. I get the green led working even when the battery is out and I connect the phone to the power supply...
should I open my Nexus up and clean the contacts?
this sucks... maybe it's a sign to move on to the Nexus S...

I solved this problem this morning using silicagel. Check my post on CM forum CyanogenMod Forum> Google Nexus One> Google Nexus One Stable Mod>Trackball led wont turn off

Touch HD locks up with black screen on multiple Cooked ROMs

Hi,
my custom ROM flashed Blackstone has this nasty habit. After some days I try to turn him on but the screen stays just black. The only way to bring him back to life is to take out the battery. Because of these freezes I overslept multiple times as the Blackstone did not wake me up.
I tried Goldlocke, Gregor G10 and Topix. I always do a task29 before flashing a new ROM. I also tried multiple radios like 1.13, 1.14 and actual 1.17. Before I had Dutty 4.3 which did not have this problem.
If anybody can give me a hint about the problem I would be thankful.

Not sure if it can help, but...
Try to delete the "Application data" folder in your microSD card.
Bye, Marco.

...
sounds like ''microp error''..

I had similar problem, so I sent my phone to repair. Now I have new motherboard and display. Everything is O.K.

I have same error!! Will try the original ROM for a few days before I descide to scrap it!

No lockup since almost a week now! It seems your "solution" works fine. Do you know the background of this behaviour?

...
probably you have installed something onto the sd card and not uninstalled it or flashed new rom, leaving the data still on the sd card and the device reading it as it would..

YES, I flashed original SPL, original firmware. The problem was still here. So i sent the phone to reclaim.

which folder in Application Data to delete?
I have two: HTC and Maxsense. In maxsense its just an image. in htc its databases and imagecache

...
delete entire folder..

Just tried myself deleting app data but still no joy....
I have found that my HD locks up in the dark !!
If I have the phone in my pocket, 9 out of ten times it locks up.. Only once it has locked up out of my pocket !! Screen lock is also on to stop any button press problems..
I have switched auto back light OFF and Pocket mode OFF but it still does it..
Any thoughts / Ideas please ???

try uninstalling neos drivers, and if you can't, install nmet cab to disable this drivers. in some blackstones neo's drivers seems to cause this problem.

...
solved??..
if not..
dissable "auto adjust backlight" in power settings..

[Q] Black Screen of Death?

When I try to start my G1 the display just stays black, not the "stuck on g1 screen" problem, it stays black and it doesn't vibrate like it usually does when starting it.
What I did was rooting, changing recovery to amonra 1.7.0 and installing the spl_1_33_2003.zip spl update, the update was successfully as it restarted normally and started to boot. Then I wanted to get to the bootloader mode so I pulled the battery. Since then the only Reactions are the red LED when charging and the Blue LED when getting in this JTAG-Mode or whatever.
I couldn't find any thread about this problem and I already did this whole procedure on another G1 without any problems.
I really hope, that you can help me

you should have waited for it to boot before pulling the battery
it is a 2 stage install, first is preps , then it reboots and competes the flash
you have a brick now

You should not have pull the battery, that is a no no especially during the install.
Are you able to even go into any mode? IE: camera+power, etc...

Nope, no Mode works, tried every combination, it just wont start-.-

U definitely have a bricked G1.

Well if u can't get into recovery nor bootloader its a sure sign of a brick...
How charged was ur battery? My battery died one time and it wouldn't load up as well. It went from a full charge to nothing.. just a thought....
But try charging it and try to get back Into bootloader.. but don't rule anything out.
Will think more but keep us posted

Oh! Yea! Happens to mine last weekend. But mine was doing the splash screen loops.

Battery was about at 50%. Tried with another battery and everything's the same. Looks like I really bricked it-.-
Anyway, thanks for the help

Future reference when doing serious mods such as updating spl, radio always make sure you have a full charge as these things can drain ur battery pretty quick. And the last thing u want is for ur battery to die in the middle.....
Have u tried reformatting ur sdcard. ?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Why should I reformat it, it makes no difference at all if an sdcard is inside or not, and the sdcard is working without any problems

Weirld **** happens man, , just a simple question. Never hurts to explore all options.. I'm done good luck

It does, sometime SD Card get corrupted. And it will prevent your phone from booting up correctly especially when you SD to install your apps etc...

Phone wont power off?

Hello everyone. Im having this really odd issue where the phone wont power off. I press and hold the power button down, and choose "POWER OFF" and it does the animation of powering off, then it goes dark....then in about 2-3 seconds it powers back on. Now i do have Fast Boot unchecked. Im also rooted and running the Dev edition of the HTC One. If i boot into recovery and choose the option to shutdown, it still reboots on its own. Very odd. Anyone care to help me out? Thanks

seems like cache error. try to clear cache in recovery.. if nothing happens .. clear data .. . yup then you will lose all data. but u will get into system atleast

Yea. But im having a bit of an issue even with that. I consider myself a seasoned vet at this kind of stuff, but seem to be having a hard time with it. I tried to flash the RUU and it failed about 25% thru it, and now im at an HTC logo with exclamation signs on each corner. Kind of at a loss...but ill keep in screwing with it.

ok, so i reverted back to stock using the RUU and it STILL DOESNT TURN OFF!! I dont know what to do anymore. Faulty hardware? Kind of weird when everything else works fine.

Nothng else you can do on your end. You've done it all. Tell them you installed the ruu and that didnt work. If its from a carrier, ATT, t-mobile.. Just take it to a corporate store, they should replace it. If its a Dev edition, gotta send it in. For me it wouldnt be much of an issue because i never turn my phones off.. But if you do turn them off, this is a major issue lol. They should replace it no problem.

Yea it is a developer edition phone. Ive done evrerything i can think of and i think i may need to send it in. What sucks is that i have already added my zagg on the back and added an SGP screen protector and i would hate to waste them. I also normally dont turn my phone off (if ever) but i dont want to end up with more hardware issues down the line. Im contemplating sending it back to HTC and ordering the Google edition when that is available..but im kind of happy with it as is. I have HTC on the phone now...lets see what they say. At this point im kind of curious as to why its doing this.
