[PROMBLEM] Diamond stuck in restart loop. - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I believe my battery ran dead and i didnt notice, now my when you press the power button the blue o2 loading screen comes on then about 2 seconds later the device restarts and same thing over and over.
If i plug a an ac adpater in (i've tried 2 and an incar charger) the light ring goes up twice then then phone triggers a start up and gets stuck in the loop. I've tried leaving it in this loop for 10mins see if it would charge the battery but no luck.
I have tried doing a hard-reset 3 times now it says its done ok soon as i press vol up to boot it goes into the loop.
Is there anyway i can charge the battery if this is the case or is there another problem thats causing this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure the battery is dead?
If you left it in the loop for 10 mins I would have thought that it would flatten it such that it doesn't light up at all.

I know the battery was very low before it started doing this and i hadnt installed anything new in months.
Usualy on the o2 screen it shows red writing at the top and bottom, its not showing that right now if that means anything.
Its a stock o2 uk rom with no changes to the radio and official battery.

I've just installed the latest rom from the o2 website (keeping it stock incase i need to send it off to them) and still doing the reboot on startup thing.
Contacted o2 see what they say but if anyone else has any ideas im open to suggestions

i've got the same issue and the battery won't charge ...i suppose it could be a battery issue, but i'd be sure about it prior to buy a new battery..

Battery was fine, i sent the phone to the o2 repair centre got it back week later fixed

did you use a modified rom? ..i was told htc repairs only unmodified products, could you gimme more information about it?

No it was not a modified rom, default o2 xda ignito rom.

Me too!
I had the same issue. I tried soft-resets, hard-reset, swapping batteries with another phone (even tried warming the battery in my hands which was suggested somewhere!), reflashing a couple of different ROM's, including Shaks 4.30 and the latest Telstra ROM (2.07.841.2 WWE). I tried using MTTY to reflash the ROM, and reflashing using the DiamonCustomRUU.exe from the PC. (OliNex 1.40 SPL). All of the reflashes were in Bootloader mode (hold pwr and vol down) because I couldn't get it to the point of ActiveSync connection.
Nothing would work.
The winning step that bought me the joy (and relief) I was looking for was downgrading the radio from 1.09.25.23 to 1.00.25.05.
Also, I'm not sure if it is related, but I think the reset button under the stylus is stuffed because pressing it doesn't do anything.
Now I've escaped the reboot loop from hell, I'll run it for a few days before giving it back to my boss! If anyone's interested, I'll update you in a few days.

could you please tell me how you installed the radio, because when I use diamoncotumruu it stays at 0% and the finaly gives an error

I had to install the radio in Bootloader mode (hold pwr and vol down), but there was no issue with the install after doing this. Have you checked this thread? I don't know if that thread will help you fix your issue but it might be worth a look.
What exactly was the error message? Perhaps a search on that error message will help you.

I've tried it in bootloader mode, but it won't install...
the error number is 262. but that should be an active sync problem but I can't sync so I don't know what the problemm is

Not really on topic, but...

262 isn't an necessarily an ActiveSync problem, more of a connection problem. Try post 9 here. Or try uninstalling Active Sync altogether and installing radio and ROM via MTTY. Since it is a connection problem, you could even try a different USB cable.
But I suggest you post 262 queries here, here, here or here.
BTW, Are you using XP?

Bricked my Wizard

I have just been trying to upgrade my Wizard, I have done this many times before, I tried but failed with a few ROM's and last I tried Molski's latest, now, it is just dead, after I try a hard reset, I get the red blue green screen for a few seconds, I even see it connecting to the USB and then the screen just goes black.
Pleas help with anything
Sounds to me you're battery could be empty/dead
It was full last night, so I do not think this is the problem
It was full last night, so I do not think this is the problem
Try another battery and see.
And keep us posted
I agree, it sounds like your battery is drained. And since it goes to the boot loader, that means your battery will not charge on your phone. You'll have to borrow a battery that is charged, or get someone to charge your battery.

What state did you leave the phone in over night? Was the battery removed, or was the phone fully off..?
Interesting. I seem to have a similar problem. I only get the boot loader screen.
But i can establish a USB connection and update my phone. It will go all the way to 100%. Then the phone will switch off and start new. But instead of loading the OS it goes automatically into the boot loader screen.
Any idea what went wrong here?

Since you haven't told us what you were trying to do when this started, what rom you tried flashing, and what your current IPL / SPL are and whether this is a G3 or G4, no, we don't have any ideas on what is wrong .

I would suggest you try flashing your carrier's latest official rom to get a working device back.
Bricked
If install IPL 3.08 in G4, exist solution or not
One thing to add : if the battery is really low, then it will likely not charge or respond via USB. It is necessary to use the wall charger in this case. It must have something to do with the amount of charging current that can be delivered to a flat battery.

I'm not sure if you are asking a question or what. But if you try to install IPL/SPL 3.08 on a G4 device, your device will be bricked (ie: dead). I did see where someone in the Wizard forum said they were able to do a JTAG recovery and get their G4 back.

You are right, sorry.
I used to have Aserg3.12 Rom on my device (G4). It worked well for at least two months. Suddenly the phone crashed in the middle of a call and didnt react anymore. Hard Reset nothing worked.
I got somehow the Boot Loader Screen back and downgraded to the original rom (QTEK novid, 220734, 2207114). Problem was whilst it finished the upload process until 100% and restarted the phone, it got stuck at the OS loading page. After 1 minute the screen started losing its colour and turned white. If I soft or hard reset the same happens, it turns white at the OS loading page.
At some point I got through miraculously, it started up and everything was fine. I charged it, upgraded to smart1 wm6 v2 and everything seemed to work. However again some 10 minutes into a call, the phone crashed and back to square one. Downgrade to old rom, got again stuck at OS loading screen etc.
I then put it over night on the charger. The orange charging LED was blinking in 5-10 sec intervals. In the morning it was red. I started the phone again interestingly got through and got it running. Battery was fully charged. But again: 10 min into a call, the phone crashed. And trying to reboot I get to the OS loading screen, then it turns white. I put it back on the charger LED is blinking, guess I have to wait again for some hours.
Thanks for any help or suggestion,
forgot that:
IPL 2.15.0001
SPL 2.20.0001
Aserg3.12? smart1 wm6? Are you sure you've got a wizard? Aren't those prophet roms?

HTC TyTNII Broken !!!!!! HELP ME

Hi, Yesterday, I changed the battery as usual (I have 2 batts and a desktop charger) to my TyTNII, and when I turned it on, it started on a mode where 4 colour lines appeared (red, green, blue and white) and at the bottom of them says the word "SERIAL".
Also, when its on this mode, I have to remove the battery to turn it off. When I turn it off and turn it on again several times (about 20 times aprox.), the Windows starts, when it starts I plug USBCable to PC but doesnt sync and when I reboot the Windows the problem happen again. I have both batteries fully charged, so its not a charge problem. I tried to reset it and also I reinstalled the ROM but nothing happened.
If someone has any suggestion please help me.
Thank you.
Its in bootloader mode. This is the screen from which you can hard reset your device or install a new rom. Dont panic. Follow this link to install HardSPL if you haven't already:

Ok, im gonna try doing what u told me. I had the hadrSPLV1 and HTC WM6.1 ROM installed (and it was working fine). I dont understand why this started happening to me. As soon as I do this ill post the results, thanks.
Ok...what you told me worked fine, thank you so much, it seems like it had to be with the HRDSPL or the radio version. Thanks again, I owe you one, Lolllll. Regards, feiz.

Color Bars Help Please

Tried to flash button rom with full battery. Comunication error. Only boots to 3 color bars. Every time I retry the flash the phone starts flashing on and off.
Mmmmmm
What is the problem....?
Does your wizard dont begins... so it wont wake up... dont start ?
You cant turn it on?
What do you mean with turn on and off?
is blinking?
If the problem is its blinking and dont stands on... it is a serios problem but if the wizard saty on ... what ipls and spl got?
What did you do?
Men we need to much info..... than it is on bootloader, i cant upgrade etc etc etc.
FUUUUUUU******@@@@@
while flashing the button rom, i got a communication error. At random times after connecting the phone via usb the screen flashes on an off and communication is lost. sometimes the phone gets mostly through the flash, sometimes it wont even start to flash. But here is the f-ing kicker, while trying to recover in the button flasher proggie, my computer locked up and WILL NOT TOUR BACK ON. thats right, i lost my phone and computer in 5 minutes thanks to this flasding sh*t. i am only able to access this forum via a blackjack II smartphone.
OK, Feeling better
Sorry about that.
I got my computer back on.
It wouldnt even go to cmos so I traded out my cpu, still didnt work.
Put the old cpu back in and it booted just fine. Not sure why that happened but at least my computer is back on.
Ok so back to the phone. It boots to the 3 color bar screen and shows IPL/SPL as 2.25. After connecting the USB cable it will sometimes start flashing, not always. If I restart the button rom flasher it will start to flash, after getting to some % the phone starts flashing.
By flashing I mean the screen flashes on and off. Likely the phone is rebooting itself constantly.
Undo?
Is it possible to just undo what ive done? Is the old info still on the phone? IPL/SPL are still the same as before.
No, your old info is not on the phone anymore. The first thing that is done when the flashing process begins is deletion of your flash on your phone. This may seem like a n00b question, but have you tried using a different USB port? DO NOT flash with a port off of a hub, they are usually under powered when compared to direct board connected ports. Try one on the back of your tower(or directly in your notebook whatver.) and see if that works.
It also failed on the back usb port.
All is not lost is it?
I believe that this phone might need a new battery.
I had some problems with the phone turning off when it wasn't supposed to but it hasn't done it in a long time so I though I was ok. Do you think that a new battery might allow this downgrade to complete?
Its possible. The Wizard is kind of a tempermental device....it flashes when it wants to some time. You can try and see if a new battery is what fixes the problem, but in all honesty, it could be anything.
Xtrange
ok
try to get connecte with that cable other device, maybe is broken the cable...
try another usb port...
download again the button rom, maybe is corrupted.
lets wait what happen
Its your battery , replace the battery and it will charge and then you can flash it,you can get two batteries for a tenner on ebay
Battery
OK, so once the new battery comes, it will charge via usb and wall charger just as it would with the OS installed? Im not sure if charging is dependent on the OS at all.
Thanks for all of your help guys.
Does it charge?
It charges??????
in bootloader dont charge men....
if the phone stuckson welcome screen maybe charges, on htc logo dont, neither on splash screen.
All we do is try to help people to upgrade and try to found solutions for those who made a bad upgrade, but i didn't cook, and dont develop anything so my only contribution is for experiences.
Hope your wizard revives.
My wizard does not bootup...only three color bars
I was trying to flush with new ROM and it stopped after 100% and in the mean times, my system rebooted. Now I got this MDA with three color bars, battery is OK but important thing is that it does not connect to computer thru Active Sync............any help>

HELP diamond keep restarting

I took battery out to change SIM card and now it won't start.
I get text "Touch Diamond" on the black screen and when it comes to Radio version etc. (red text i corner) it restarts!?!
I tried hard reset but it doesn't help.
Plz help I need my baby back!
Tnx
Try this
I found solution for this problem. If your diamond won't boot go to bootloader mode and upgrade your radio hxxp://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=26 and after that your dimond worked fine without loosing data.

I have the same problem. After a lockup when trying to get the internet sharing to work the phone just keeps rebooting.
I tried to flash a new radi version (from bootloader mode). Everything went OK, but the phone still won't start.
Whats next step? Hard reset?
i have the same problem - i believe it´s battery related
Try leaving your device off for a bit and pull the battery. Then re-insert the battery and plug your device into the ac adapter/charger and charge it for at least 30min. Then turn it back on and see if it continues. Like the previous poster said, you could have a bad battery. Otherwise, flash the shipped rom and then see if it still does it. Then flash back to your custom rom.

Can you put it in bootloader mode? (white screen with the word "Serial" or USB and "v2.0x")
No..not able to put in bootloader mode.i tried to put in by pressing power+record+soft reset nothing happened.Only response i get is when i put in cradle for charging it shows a red light.pls help
in that case you should remove the battery and charge it in the back of the cradle (needs AC power supply, usb alone doesn't work). it might also show red at first, meaning the battery is completely dead now, but shortly after that, it will turn orange. if, during the charging process, it should turn red again, your battery is probably broken. maybe the battery dying was the reason your upgrade failed in the first place. i had a similar issue when i first tried upgrading in vista several years ago (before i came here). i removed the device from the cradle and it was still in bootloader mode. normally you should let the device stay in bootloader mode and just start flashing again. i didn't do it and neither did you, so all you can do is try everything to get it into bootloader mode again.
try everything you can do with the device at the moment:
- insert the battery, try bootloader
- reset, try bootloader
- power+reset, try bootloader
- battery out, battery in again...
eventually you will get the device back into bootloader mode and can try flashing it again. but before the next attempt to flash it, you should find out, what caused the error in your last upgrade to make sure, it does not happen again.

Chef is correct. The battery will not charge if it is on the device. Luckily for us, the BA cradle has the charging slot in the back for the "extra" battery. I would (regardless if it is dead or not) just buy a new battery on e-bay (they are dirt cheap nowadays) simply to rule out the possibility of the battery being dead, which as chef suggested might be the reason for the failure (especially if you cannot turn on the device).
Tony,
It worked lot of thanks.
1.Removed battery charged it.
2.Done hard reset(power+softreset)
3.Tried bootloader.IT WORKED .....
4.Flashed it with old stable wm6.1 rom.
IInd case.Finding the root cause.
After flashing I put that back again to the cradle.Then problem began BA went OFF.
Then I softreset and put again to the cradle before OS boots up Tried 3 times same result to make sure its cradle prob.
I take out frm the cradle
softreset the BA to boot.Now another problem.ITS not booting it reaches the FOUR COLOR SCREEN WITH RoM DETAILS then it FADES OUT with some markings(horizintal lines) here and there.
I waited for few minutes removed battery.Put it again then pressed power button got same results.
On the second attempt while locking the battery switch (pressing it up) That old RED LIGHT glows up.Then I pressed it down to unlock and removed battery.Then I tried again
This time it boots up and everything came to normal.(My HEART BEAT WENT DOWN) Thanked GOD.. And ofcourse you Tony.
Meanwhile I had given a small blow at the cradle and put my sweet Angel to cradle its working fine Now.
SO AM NOT SURE WHO IS THE real CULPRIT.. Battery,battery switch,or cradle?..
egzthunder,
I think battery is ok because I am getting the same backup just it was before..
So big THANKS to u two of you.
( I write this post frm my BA ) ;-)

Hello,
I am facing the same problem on my xda iis showed on the screen only " Serial/USB v2.06"
I am really appreciated if you and someone can help me to solve the problem.
Many thanks for your kindness.
please don't double post, there was really no need to bump the other thread, since it is incredibly outdated and not helpful at all. being stuck at the serial v2.07 screen, the bootloader, you should try starting over from the very beginning, using the guide in my signature (if you are a windows xp user).
