Hi Guys,
i consider myself relatively experienced at flashing HTC devices having been using and upgrading for a few years but i've run into an issue on my CID locked G4. i upgraded to WM6 without issue and i tried to revert back to my O2 rom, the flash failed and i'm now stuck at the splash screen. I've tried to flash the original ROM from boot loader but i get a 101 error unable to connect(can see it in device manager). as i'm using vista i did a search and found some instructions and driver files but i get the same result. the only thing i can think of now is to CID unlock but i'm not sure it will help (unless it allows me to do the SD card restore). any ideas guys?
IPL:2.21.001
SPL:2.21.001
GSM:02.25.11
OS:10.1.0.811
OK., what you need to do is use a PC with XP, because i have read that vista PC's can get you into a lot of trouble. When you are at an XP PC, follow the instructions in my previous post
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313354 ).
When you flashed the original ROM, and you succeeded in doing so, think real hard if you still want to upgrade to a new ROM.
If you still want to do that, stick to a PC with XP installed (no vista!).
If you did reflash a good ROM into your HTC you'll be one step closer to upgrading your ROM.
Read this post thourougly :

as this will help you in case you didn't CID unlock your device.
(thanks vippie; this is the clearest walktrough i could find!)
If you are really sure you CID unlocked your device, you can flash your device to any ROM you think is useful to you.
If your device is really CID unlocked, you should be able to flash any ROM that is posted on this forum.
I know that it is that easy, because i have tried every WM6 ROM that is posted on this forum
good luck, and i hope in the end you will have the ROM that you want....
thanks. my device IS CID LOCKED and i've tried to flash it from 2 XP machines so it is looking like its a brick thanks anyway.
for sale wizard with pretty 3 colour screen - sold as seen!!!
One thing you can try is use another USB to mini USB cable, i have had one cable that didn't connect really well.
Sometimes it worked but if i moved my phone the connection went down.
I just thought of that because it was a while ago that this happened - I threw away the faulty cable and had no problems after that.
tried 3 different cables too

i've paid for the CID unlock which went well i then tried to flash the O2 default rom failed error 101 (connection) i then tried wizard love failed error (300) in italian.

If you have a memory card take it out. Right click on ActiveSync and go to connection settings. Uncheck allow usb connections then try to flash. With windows XP...
tried to flash on a win2K machine (4 pc's thats the only one thats not vista) still get error 101 on the original O2 rom and 300 on the wizard love rom.
still no joy anyone have any ideas???
http://www.t-mobile.hr/mdasw/RUU_Pro...R_WWE_Ship.zip fixed i'm on a tmobile rom i'll try downgrading again.
I tried to update my rom and it was working, until my laptop turned off. (I forgot to plug in the power cord). So I tried it again, and it was stuck in bootloader and so I tried to update it using a Official Cingular Rom. But it gives me an error 260 saying cannot connect. I then tried to use mtty (one of the guides on here) but there's no USB option. I tried this on 3 different computers. Any suggestions please?!
To access mtty with USB option, you need to kill the wcescomm process (or disable USB connection in ActiveSync).
Thanks for the reply but I did kill it and disable usb connections. Stll no USB shows up. Im using a pretty new laptop with XP
Are you sure your Wizard is in bootloader mode when you start mtty?
It's always in bootloader mode when it's on since the Rom Update Failed ( computer turned off).
I really don't know why I have this problem. It was working before, but then it failed, and now it wont connect
Try to flash it on another computer.
I suspect there are problems on the USB ports (And/Or software issues) of your computer...
In my first post I said I tried to flash it on 3 different computers ( I meant laptops.) I dont know why it wont work now though. It worked yesterday
If it helps before it gives me the 260 error it says my USB device is not recognizable.
Please, does anyone have anything?
Im getting realy worried and my warrantys expired
help me stuck on bootloader
what do i do when i downloaded mtty? im am stuck on the bootloader screen due to a 98percent error but right now i cant do anything but stay on the bootloader.
I downgraded so im back to
IPL 1.01
and SPL 2.25.
HELP me get out this screen please? I've tried almost everything i could search on this forum. thanks in advance. and thanks for the hard work on the great roms you guys have!
Is there any other way to revive my device? I've been trying for the past 2 days and it's still not working
TheTop- Flash a official rom to it
I have tried official Roms like the one from the htc website, should I just keep trying even if I get error 260?
dunno if it helps, but make sure that you're battery is charged at least 50%. It seems to be one of the requirements that are needed when you normally flash with the RUU after activesync hookup. I know that when I tried flashing below 50%, the program wouldn't work for me and boot out.
if it's below 50%, look for a friend to charge it and try again.
First of all i do not know where to post this. I have had a HTC wizard for over a year now. it has been working fine after cooking up wm6 and installing it for 6 months. today when i restartet the phone pulling the battery out and inserting it, the phone starts up, then the blue screen comes and shows ispl etc, then windows image shows, there it stops. i do not know what to do. It has been a while since i did pocket pc modding now, and i have forgotten all about it.

Maybe something crashed the OS software.
Hope you have a system backup, or at least PIM backup using ActiveSync because what you need now is a hard reset.
Punching the reset hole (next to IR window) while holding CommManager+VoiceDial, then press "Dial" as prompted.
how do i hard reset my dash/s620?
i have tried hard reset
i have hard reset the phone. i do not have any backup in active sync. and i dont think that matters. because my phone does not connect to activesync since it does not start up. and in the three colored boot mode the phone is not detected by active sync. when i hard reset the phone it just came to the same point and freezed
If you didn't touch the ROM for long time, then it is probably a hardware failure...

READ YOUR PHONE MANUAL, and THIS IS NOT DASH FORUM.
hard to believe
First off, thanks for fast responses.
It cant be hardware(Not as a total theory of course) or likely not, because phone was not touched by water, shock, bumb fire or anything. it laid on my desk, worked, laid on my dask more, freezed. and it has been working for 6 months with wm6. is there anyway i can flash something into it. without activesync, but in the three colored boot mode?
Get into bootloader, plug in your usb cord and give it a minute...ON THE TRI-COLORED SCREEN do you see in the bottom corner "USB"??? If yes, you are OK. Get a stock rom such as the Tmo 2.26 and flash that. If you do not see "USB" in the bottom corner then as far as I know, you are fukd.
For more info on issues, read the linky in my siggy. There is valuable info there that may help with other ways to flash a rom.
Good luck.
i see usb
thanks, guess i am not fked then
Only problem is i have forgotten all about this now, and that i am sorry for.
But i have to ask you, as from norway wich stock rom to choose, what is stock rom, and when you say bootloader, is that an expression for the three colored screen or is that a program, that can flash in three colored screen? Thanks, i do not expect an answer on this noob questions, but i would really apreciate answers.
stock rom & bootloader
stock rom is the rom which comes with ur phone while purchasing it.. u can call it base rom..bootloader is tri-coloured screen which is bios for ppc if it gets fked then phone is bricked..next time if u cant boot up, then u can flash ur phone with the help of bootloader...
that was fast
thanks, but i do not think i have the rom that came with my mobile phone:/
and i do not know how to flash from tri colored screen, because all the files i have tried cant detect my phone.
ipl adn spl are 3.08 if that helps anything.
that was fast
is there an app you use to flash from tri colored
there is no need for any app, just connect ur phone to tri-coloured screen..u willl see usb in down left corner.. then ur phone is connected then run RUU utility.. if any problem comes i am online at hotmail... [email protected]
Can you power down? If not, remove battery for 1 seconds, the re-insert. Then press all at once the camera, comm and power buttons (or I believe you can also press the camera and soft reset. It is in the wiki explaining, as are some stock roms. Use any stock rom if you plan on flashing a cooked rom. The Tmo 2.26 is a decent stock rom, there is a 3.08 on the forum somewhere that you can also use. Get a stock rom. Get into the tri-colored bootloader. Look to see if it says usb in the bottom corner. If yes, connect your cable and using the ruu from the stock rom, flash your phone. Once a stock rom is installed follow the directions to cid/sim unlock your phone. Once unlocked, you can flash any cooked rom.
PS- I am assuming you have a G3 phone.
PPS- reading the wiki and the stickies are very helpful. Give them a try.
im sutch a noob
yeh i got same problem... i will try a hard reset but im at school... hope it fixes it... i got imate jasjam... BETTER WORK OR I WILL KILL MY BROTHER 4 STUFFING AROUND WITH MY PHONE
im sutch a noob
gah... it diddent work what do i do now????
I forgot to put the DIAMING.nbh file on my diamond! now it just shows up with "Touch Diamond" and then resets! i need help please
is this an easy fix??
Thank you so much!
go to bootloader (vol down + reset) and flash new rom from romupdater in windows
i got to bootloader but it won't read my usb... there is no DIAMING.nhb file (or whatever it is called) on my phone.. is there any application that will let me get the usb to work.. any ideas???
thank you
i can still run the custom RUU, and it runs on my phone as well.. so is there anyway.. or is there already one out there that has the DIAMIMG.nbh with it so that it installs without the need to manually move the file to the phone..
thanks again
Yes it does, if u get into bootloader, connect your phone to PC, you should see written USB in bootloader a then run RUU from windows, it should work. I experienced similar problem and that was my solution
i tried to flash a different rom onto my diamond, and it got 100% done.. but still... i wasn't able to move the DIAMIMG.nbh file to my root... do i need to use a rom that doesn't have a DIAMIMG.nbh file? where would i find one.. if i may ask?
your help is appreciated thank you
UPDATE
ok... so i found, and downloaded 2 RUU roms. one of them got to 90% done, and the other got to 91% done... does anyone know why this is..? these are the official roms, (I think).
i have searched for the past 2 days almost nonstop, i need a rom that will fully install onto my phone. This rom can't have me move the DIAMIMG.nbh file over manually either, because i cannot do this in bootloader mode.
i tried these 2 official roms. _HTC Touch Diamond_QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe
and this one,
RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26.25.09_0.93.25.26_Ship.exe
do you know where i could download some other roms at? thanks
did you use Hard-SPL? maybe something with spl theres wrong
When flashing from your PC, you don't move an NBH over.
Go to htc.com, support, and download the current rom for your phone.
Soft reset holding volume down
Connect to your PC (DIRECTLY and NOT through a hub)
Run the updater you just downloaded from HTC
ya. i'm using hard-spl..
i tried getting a rom from htc, but i don't think that it's recognizing my s/n.. could i borrow someone elses??
i'm connecting my phone to a USB that's located in the back of my computer... i don't think it's a hub, but i'll try a different port maybe..
thank you again
so here's the full story.
i tried to install a rom.. it was shaks v3. and this was the rom. -> 2.03.401.2
i didn't put the diamimg.nbh file on it before i flashed it.
the RUU ran fine, but afterwards it was stuck just saying "touch diamond" , and it was resetting itself constantly.
i got into bootloader mode, and noticed that i could not transfer files from my computer to phone through that..
so i downloaded a rom that didn't require you to move the .nbh file over manually. it got to 90% , and then stopped i tried another, and it got to 91% and stopped, i tried another, it got to 89% and stopped, and i tried one more that got to 19% and stopped. i have tried using these RUU's on different computer's to install also..
IS there any way to move files using the bootloader mode? i know that the computer recognizes it, but not as a device with removable storage..
I'm starting to lose hope with my phone, and any help will be greatly appreciated
i don't know if it makes a difference, but i got my phone from Sprint.
ok!!! i totally just remembered that roms were made for CDMA users (Sprint verizon vodafone... ME) and GSM users... i was trying to flash a GSM rom onto my phone...
make sure that you know what type of rom to flash.. there are CDMA roms out there.. you just have to search...
thank you Felipe404, for your quick replies, and you made this easier for me.
thanks to JonInAtl for the precise reply...
both of your guy's help made a huge difference, that you don't even know.
WHOA!!!!!!
yea, i did the same thing,.. flashed my gsm diamond with cdma rom, after flash it just showed the bootscreen - Touch Diamond and there it stopped... so i got to the bootloader, connected the device to pc and flashed another rom from computer.. and it did work
no problem mayne
Just to clarify here, the ONLY reason to copy DIAMIMG.nbh to your device is if you do not want to update with the RUU. You can install every ROM using the RUU regardless of who made it.
That said, every time I want to update, I do have to copy it over to my phone as the USB port on it no longer works (it still charges, just says unknown device regardless of the ROM).
Hi, first of all let me begin by saying that I have spent a long time reading around through the guides and forums about flashing rom/radio to my Rohdium but still face problems. I have successfully flash my old TyTN II and Orange E650 but am at a loss as to why Im struggling this time round!
I flashed the Hard SPL which went 'fairly' smoothly, got there in the end after having problems on WIndows 7 64bit and then succeeded using Xp 32. However when trying to flash a new rom and/or radio I am greeted with an error, that being Error 284. I have tried like I say on Win7 64, Xp32 and when the error pops up my phone gets stuck on the process bar and forced to pull battery out. I then put it back in and it freezes on bootloader. The RUU software trys to recover but it is a loop of the same thing happening (attempts and then crashes). The only way to get out of this mess was strangely reflashing HardSPL which recovers it and allows me to boot to Windows. I have tried flashing a radio and/or rom whilst in sync within windows, I have tried flashing when manually forcing the phone to enter bootloader, I even paid the £10 to get the unlocker which would patch the special radio but that even returns the same error. I have the sim card out and storage card, battery charged over 50%. I even tried the Mtty program (sorry if mispelled, at work now and can't fully remember name!) when it was stuck at bootloader and using the "boot" command it boots as far as Touch Pro 2 logo but then doesn't progress, then i resorted to reflashing HardSPL which allowed me to boot properly. I just don't know what else to try!
Like I said Im sorry if this is obvious to someone but I have tried alot!
Many thanks in advance if someone could help!
* Update: Just tried flashing a radio on my works computer (XP 32) and it flashed no problem!? Wonder why my operating systems had an issue?
** SOLVED! ** - got home and randomly tried again on Win7 64 without using my USB extension cable and plugged into a different USB port directly and it worked! Faulty cable maybe, bad luck, who knows, it works!
Thanks.
Sound like maybe your RUU/update utility may have gotten corrupted. I would try to re-download the rom you want to flash over to your home pc again and try to re-flash.
If that doesn't work, you can always flash your rom through the storage card.
hmmm yea thats possible, will try when I get back in couple of hours thanks! Just seemed weird how nothing was working, different roms (cooked roms or shipped roms) and even the security/sim unlocker that I purchased......mystery!
USB cable tends to go bad easily! That might be the reasion why!
