Need Help! Bricked Phone?? - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I was trying to upgrade my Topaz to WM6.5 and obviously something went wrong.. Now when I turn the phone on, it goes to the tri-colour screen but displays the message Upgrade ROM code error please try again. After that, it goes to the white loading screen and just stays there until the numbers 00068002 in red appear at the top of the screen. Then it goes back to the tri-colour screen. I've searched the forums and tried some of the suggestions out there. Nothing has worked! Was wondering if someone could really halp me out with some step by step instructions!! Thanx in advance!
PS: I have HardSPL 1.83 installed already. That installation went well without any problems. It was when I went to flash the rom this happend.

i would suggest downloading another ROM (try the orginal ROM of your language http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576620) and copying the TOPAIMG.nbh onto your storage card (ROOT DIRECTORY). now turn the phone on by pressing volume + and power button and then follow on screen instructions.
good luck!

dont worry, just a bad flash because of a corrupted rom
redownload the rom or any other rom.
use the card flasing as described by Drag-on or remove the storage card, (just tomake sure it does not see the rom image on it). connect it to pc. wait untill it shows usb on the 3color screen. wait untill the pc is finished installing drivers and then start the customRUU. that came with the rom you are insatalling
that should do the trick
success

Here's the thing, when I connect the phone to the PC, the PC can't find the phone anymore.. Well, it is connected, but it's not showing up on the computer.. I also don't know the original rom language for my phone.. My serial number begins with HT947L, anyone know?? I tried installing from the computer but it gives me the invalid vendor ID error..

ur computer is not suppose to read it like it would normally. (it wont recognize it in device center) but its connected. use the ruu that comes with the roms u download and u should be able to reflash ur device and dont worry its not bricked.
if u trying to do it manually rename RUU_signed that u get when u download a rom. rename it to topaimg and copy it to the root of ur microsd. then insert the card into the phone and turn it on. now ur phone should recognize the new rom and ask u if u want to install it. hope this helps

I haven't been able to find a rom that works.. I've tried several roms.. I rename them TOPAIMG.nbh and put it in the sd card but it never works. The phone will go to the loading screen and then the numbers 00068002 in red appear and then it just goes back to the tri colour screen with the words Upgrade ROM code error please try again. It just stays there after. When I try to do it manually from my computer it keep sgiving me the Invalid vendor ID error. I'm totally stuck.
I don't know if this will help, but when trying to do it manually, the program says I don't have a img on the phone. the version of the img I have is just left blank.

Update: Thanks for everyone's help! I finally found a rom that actually worked. It installed and everything. I still don't know why it had to be that certain rom and I still don't know why I couldn't flash from the SD card method. I'm really just happy everything is up and running again. I'm never flashing my phone on my own again.. lol.. If anyone knows why I couldn't flash from my sd and why I had to get a certain rom even though I had HARDspl installed please let me know. I would like to know just for future reference.

Seriously needing help with my TP2!!!!!

Have you tried HSPL before flash the ROM ?

Name a ROM-Image file to rhodimg.nbh and place it into the root-directory of your storage card. Then switch on the phone while pressing and holding the volume down button.
The phone then goes into bootloader and flashes the image on the storage card (but this does not work with all storage cards I've heard -SanDisk shall work fine as far as I know!)
ADD: I think he flashed HardSPL, otherwise I'd wonder why the flash did go to 57%...without HardSPL the flash should not even start, or am I wrong?
buckingham, I have done that....I have actually successfully installed cooked ROMs on my phone in the past couple of days, its just that this one I am assuming wasnt finished downloading but I didnt know that and it stopped at 57%. Skycamefalling, I dont have a storage card, but thanks for the advice, I appreciate it greatly.

Help! My Diamond cant boot and i want to flash it to Original

Hi everyone.
Ive got a MAJOR Problem here.
My Cell Phone doesnt start at all.
If i put it one the USB Cable it can Start up like 5 Seconds.
Then it Reboots and Reboots again and again by 5 Seconds.
If I Disconnect the Phone from USB screen turns Black Immediately...
I thought it could be the Batterie... but.. it worked just fine yesterday..
(have i Mentioned that this weird Sticker on it turned red..? Some kind of sign saying me it got wet?)
All this started as i got a Coloured screnn with saying ´´Serial´´ @ the bottom of the Screnn... just exact like the Flash Screen
I Flashed the Rom which is on the Internal Storage i put bevor. To bad it aint the Stock ROM!
Then i also tried Hard Reset.
But everytime i boot... i only get as far as 5 Seconds.
Is there any Chance to Flash this Baby with original ROM (Stock ROM, RADIO and SPL)
I want to send that Baby in... but if they find out i Flashed it... i wont get any Warranty... ;(
So PLEASE GIVE ME ANY ADVICES!!!!!
Try to flash with the original ROM. Go to HTC homepage-support, download the ROM and flash. It may help...

HELP
Just go into bootloader mode (you have Hard SPL installed right?) by booting up the phone while holding down the volume down key. Then connect it to the pc with the USB cable and run the CustomRUU to flash another rom. Should work! Else you should try to MTTY (that solves the resetting stuff right?).
I was just about to say to try to get Diamond into bootloader mode manually. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405659
MTTY wont work... cause i cant boot at all
But THX for your help flashing it back to Original...

If your phone is CDMA (sprint/verizon) make sure you have a CDMA ROM (there arent very many available), if not try flashing the phone again from the rainbow screen (bootloader) you may want to download the ROM again too, some people have had bad downloads.
so i can redo it from rainbow screen
Yes Put your phone in boot loader ( rainbow screen) and reflash. Who is your cell carrier? If it is Verizon or sprint then get a CDMA rom, AT&T and T-Mobile get a GSM rom
its sprint
wen i tried it said that i dont have usb on, its not readin it

When you put it in boot loader then plug in your USB cord does it go from serial to usb on your phones screen? It may take a min for it to change
it says to follow the instruction on the pc to sync or sumthing like that
and restarts
and again on that TP2 screen and not doin anything
ok step by step.
1. uplug phone from pc
2. Pull out bat and put it back in
3. hold volume down to get to boot loader
4. plug in USB cable ( it should read on the last 1/3 of the screen near the bottom USB
5. Grab a CDMA rom from HERE or HERE
6. FLash the rom you got from step 5
i did that
but it doesnt do anything from the boot loader
just has all the micro stuff and numbers
but nothin in the usb part
i no i am a goof and it seems frustratin to u
but i appriciate or help

Its cool. IF you look at the last white part of the screen on the bottom you should see something that says SERIAL when no cord is plugged in or USB once it is plugged in
If you dont then we can try using the SD card method
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
yes it does say that
its on usb now
goin to try again
Why don't you take out your SD card and put it in your PC and drag and drop the verizon stock rom on the SD card...That would be just the nbh file...name it rhodimg.nbh then put the sd card back in and then put it into bootloader and flash it back that way?
Yea, just what zelendel instructed you to do....
this is the error
plz make sure its properly synced
plz retry after syncing

Once it is done then follow the last step and use the stylus to hit the rest button after removing the sd card and it should boot up full. Where did you get the rom?

X1 hangs on tri-colour screen: tried to restore stock spl

Hi folks!
I hope that you can help me:
I have to restore the stock spl on my xperia in order to get the keyboard and a case crack repaired!
The initial situation was like this: X1 hard spled with custom fw.
I first downloaded a german vodafone rom and flashed this rom with the sd card method: Renamed the firmware to kovsimg.nbh, copied it to sd and flashed via hardspl. I rebooted the phone and the standard tom booted just fine.
Then I downloaded "ruusigned_072stockspl.zip" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
I extracted it, renamed it to kovsimg.nbh and flashed it... after the flashing process (the bar was full which means it flashed 100% to me) the phone showed "loading" for a while... after like 10mins I put out the battery.
The phone now starts into tricolour screen even if I dont press power+down.
its on stock SPL (shows SPL-0.72.0000) and it says "Continue to Upgreade ROM... please wait" but nothing happens..
what steps should I take from there on? I ve attached a screen which shows the tri colour screen.
Did I brick my X1?
Don't think you got much more options then try to reflash the spl. Maybe that will fix this. Do you still got usb access in this tri color mode?
nope, I dont get a usb connection
With spl you mean I should try to reflash hardspl?
If I have no hard spl, is it possible to flash a original rom with a sd card only?

thx for your advice I am sure that this will be the solution - stupid thing is: like the guy in the post you linked I have lost my micro sd to SD Adapter and therefore I cant write the stock firmware to my card -.- stupid thing...
In a hour I ll rush away, buy a adapter and then try to flash the stock rom but as it sounds from the thread the scenario is the same so I think it will work.
EDIT: This was the solution I downloaded the stock rom from the sticky thread in the Rom Section from XDA, extracted it to the sd root and renamed it kovsimg.nbh. Put sd card into X1, started X1 which automatically booted into tri colour screen - I only had to press power to porcede and everything is finde now after the flashing process! Stock rom and stock spl on my X1 thanx
simple!
i had the same problem...just rename the original rom.image to RUU_Signed.nbh then open hardspl (dnt push next)and replace the file push next ,update and it;s done!don't worry if u see the error at 0 % try to open the x1 after that and it would be fine

Your phone is not dead, but I can hardly understand your problem.
I suggest flashing the advanced stock kernel to get cmw then flashing the rom of your choice.
You can take the SDc ard out of the phone and use a card reader to copy the .zip onto it.
Ok now the phone is alive again, thanks to you.
But the problem is i dont have a cardreader that can handle this sd cart.
Is there a other way to do get a rom on the phone?

Just connect the phone to the PC with the USB cable. Then run pc comapnion and use file manager app in pc comapnion. Make sure you have MTP mode on phone in settings/xperia/connectivity
The problem is there is nothing running on it yet (made a big mistake) i only have a rom 195 (for locked phone on it)
Can't i upload it with fastboot or something else?

Not sure what your issue is. Do you have a working rom on there or not? 195 for locked bootloader will run fine. It makes no difference.
I have relocked the bootloader again.
Now the phone works again.
I realy need to read more about this stuff.
But i din't have a working rom on te phone, and that is a must have else nothing will work.
I loaded a kernel for the wrong rom, not the 195 rom.. so that crashed to.
Tomorow i will read about it more.
And try to do it good
Tanks again.
