help me: Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

help meeee, i just flashed my diamond with this rom: RUU_Diamond_Dopod_CHS_1.39.706.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe and after the restart it brings the message:
Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center.
I've read in other posts concerning this message that i just need to take out the battery and wait 10-15 minutes. does not work for me. i still get the message:
Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center.
I tried to flash it again, but the problem is that the diamond is not recognized on my computer anymore it looks like it doe sent have any usb connection capability any more.
Please help me.
Thank you soo much in advance.
P.s. Is there a combination of buttons to press so i can get the diamond in a flash mode so i can flash the proper OS on it?

come on guys, did i really brick my phone? does anyone have any idea what i should do now?

i had this same problem - take the battery out for about 2 minutes and then power it back on. that _did_ work for me. if you have done it and it didnt work i dont know.

simple question
do you have an original diamond or a dopod?
if you have an original diamond .... you flashed a dopod ROM on it..., did you put a HardSPL on it?
if you have a dopod...really dont know what happens with those ): sorry
Mariano.

i have an original diamond.
yes hardspl was on it.
i can go to the hardreset options by presseing home, vollume down and reset button. but this still doesent let me flash the orignal OS on the system.
what can i do, i really need your help guys!

i just found the solution by my self. the diamond must be shut down. just plug in the usb cable and plug it in in your computer. now, push the power on off button and vollume down at the same moment. the 4 collor flas display with the USB message comes, now flash your OS on it.
tataaa its done!

Hi...nobody can help us???
Try plugging in the charger and when its plugged in, hit soft reset button with your stylus. Wait for the system to boot and see if it charges.

i have the same problem and doesn«t work for me
Then my guess is you flashed a ROM not intended for your device.
now how i can solve this?
Reflash a charmer rom? And if that doesn't work, try a prophet WM5 rom.
it says that i don't have enough battery, is lower than 50%
Use the NO_ID RUU version instead.
i already try a few roms and i can't flash the pda with none of them
You will need to reboot in BootLoader mode first (powerkey+camera+reset).
hello!
a downgrade my Charmer and now the battrery is 0%, when i connect to usb phone don't want to start, on charger it startet but battery dont want to charge. help pls ...
Hi,
I have solve this problem but I'm not sure how I've done this.
1. dowlnoad cab from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327988
2. I have use program Wizard Service Tool and clear everything what is possible including format.
3. reset
4. format after strart camera+record+soft reset
5. after reset bootloader mode, and first time my phone has connet in BLmode with USB.
6. Then I have run original T-mobile RUU and it's working
My battery has been on 0% in system as well but after downgrade battery states about 70%
have a same problem.
did anybody else solve this problem? anybody used SD flashing method?
i've solved problem partly - now battery charges, but i can't start it without power supply. so what have i done:
1) i've downloaded ShellTool_bugfixed.zip (you can easily find it google).
2) unpack it.
3) copy Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab to you WM and install
4) extract nk.nbf from original Charmer ROM into ShellTool folder
5) start ShellTool.
6) press Get ROM Info
7) press Extract OS
10) press Flash OS
11) press ОК
Followed all this steps, now i've got an original charmer os, but bootloader is still from previous crap ROM. so there is trouble with starting it up. If you phone doesn't start even when you charging it from power socket, so try to wet contacts on battery - it should work.
now i thinking how to re-flash bootloader, cuz it cannot enter into bootloader witout power supply from socket. It's no possible to flash it from PC, cuz it cannot enter a booloader plugged into USB port. It seem that there is not enough power impulse to startup.

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...

You only can Flash if u got a Active Sync connection.
So ... Cell cant boot... i cant flash...
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...

Reboots when Usb connected

Flashed today my GT-I9000 to TO froyo I897UCJI6. I know i should not have done that now. But i really got pissed today at the gps of my phone and when i saw and update for galaxy s i just went for it, haven't checked the phone variant version. Thing is now my phone has no gps whatsoever it boots up fine but, sound only shows when i plug my headphones, accelerometer dont work correctly and so on....
So i though i`ll flash it back to stock. But the thing is once i connect the usb cable the phone just reboots and stays dead until the usb is disconnected.
I read the other threads but found no similar issues.
Here is a brief video of my problem
-http-://-www-.youtube.-com/-watch?v=MtcCvfCbAFk-
Remove all "-"
since i can`t post links
Anyone has any ideas how to get me back to stock?
Thanks!!
Damn i can`t even charge it!
Kinda weird indeed, try to remove the battery, wait a little, insert the battery and go to download mode (volume - / home / power) then start odin, put all files needed, and connect the usb, if it doesnt reboot hit start...
you got to enable adb debugging on your phone then open a command window and type: adb reboot download connect the usb to the phone and hit the enter key for the adb command before your phone fall asleep, then you are in download mode an can flash any rom with odin.
hope this helps, i flashed the same wrong firmware from the Vibrant.
Thanks Franklin, i tried the battery trick to no luck.
This is i cannot put my phone back to download mode because my "HOME" button is not mapped to do anything, seems like the "RETURN ARROW" button does the fuction when the system is loaded.
Any other ways to flash it back? Sd card or something?
Thanks for replies ;]
please try it my way it worked for me and i think it will work for you
I open the cmd navigate to c:\androidsdk\tools\ type in adb reboot download hit enter, it mounts daemon tools i plug in usb cable and 3 seconds later the phone goes blank and it stays unresponsive(no 3 key combination, not even the power button can turn it back on) i unplug the usb cable and the phone automaticaly shows the AT&T logo and starts up. The same happens when i plug my charger in!. Does that mean my SGS usb port is fried or something? Is there another way to flash my pnoe back to stock ROM?
I am so sorry i tried to make it better :[
Any clues?
no this is NOT a defective phone, its the result of the ROM and the 3 Button combo can´t work oh and you dont really mean deamon tools? and you musst plug the usb cable in the phone right before you hit enter or it can´t work!
I did that too. Like i said the phone turns it self off once the usb cable is attached.

dainiuxxx, this thread belongs in the Q&A section, not in development. Take a moment and read the "STOP, READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" thread at the top of both of these sections, it has clear guidelines for proper thread placement.
Sorry for that sirphukee.
Any help? Anyone?
Anyone that can help?
have you tried plugging it into another PC or Laptop?
Yup tried amothe laptop, reboot.
Wall charger, reboot.
So i`m kinda out of options?
yes, return it to the store, to get an exchange
a normal working SGS does not reboot when plugged into any USB port/charger
it's Shorted (damaged) for some reason
ok, return sounds good to me, but what will i have to say when they`ll switch on the phone and see the AT&T logo?
I`m in UK and my network is Orange UK.
Will they accept it back with no problems, i kinda doubt that....
uhh... you are in quite a pickle ...
try to remove the evidence, intentionally use a Update.zip ROM flash to kill the flash
or flash it to stock if you find a good ROM via Update.zip
use the WiFi to download the Update.zip ROM flash to the root of the internal SD to flash it.
ROM Manager can get the same results, you can WiFi install it from Market

Installed ROM manager from market, but seems it needs the phone rooted, right?
And rooting can be done only via usb cable, right?
Where do i find a Update.zip ROM via Wifi? and what are the procedures when i do find it?
OK,
so obviously the question now is HOW DO I F...k up my phone completely so no one could see what was done to it. When i`ll take it back to the shop.

you can ROOT the phone within the phone itself
by downloading Ryzaa One click lag fix from the market
instead of installing the lag fix, select the option to ROOT the phone
Same issue here. Amazing how easy it is to mess this phone up when you are really stupid. Oh well....
Tried the one click lag fix to root it, but cannot find a way to get into download or recovery mode. Tried every button combo I have seen suggested, but either gets stuck in a loop on the AT&T screen or just boots into the OS.
At the moment I feel my only option if we cannot find a way to get into download mode is to format the internal SD card and send it back to o2 (my provider), tell them it fried when Kies tried to do an update, cross my fingers and hope they send me a new one.

[Q] Help me pls.. I think I've really bricked my P990

Hi all kind bros and sis,
Please help me out as I think I've really bricked my less than 2 months brand new Optimus 2X..
You see.. I rooted my P990 using unlock root and chanced upon CM7 and thought of giving it a try. I installed clockworkmod and downloaded the stable release of 7.1 for Optimus 2x.. following the instruction to do a Nandroid backup and proceeded with the Mod..
Not knowing that I need to wipe everything including data.. I just selected the Dalvik cache wipe and proceed with the mod. The process went for more than 15mins and I saw some graphics (the android figure going round and round) but it just stuck there... the screen went blank and when I touched those home or back buttons.. they will lighted but nothing happens. I can't power it off also. So I manually took out the battery and put it back before powering up again. The android picture appeared again briefly for about 1 min and just hanged there. I took out the battery again and this time it was dead.. no matter what I press : vol + and power buttons together; home+Vol+ + power down; Vol- + power down.. all those do not revive the phone.
I tried taking out the external SD card and try powering up. The LG logo appeared and got stuck there.
I searched on Google and found the smartflashtool. I tried that and managed to install the NVidia boot recovery driver and stuff correct. Hold the vol+ button and power key before plugging in but the smarttool did not find the com port or communication driver whatever so I couldn't flash it back to stock.
I'm very desperate and stuck now... did I just accidentally burned the board or something? What bad luck I have
If that's the case, will I still be able to bring the phone back to LG service centre and get it repaired?
Please help me.. any kind souls out there. I really liked the phone and hoped to bring it back. else it's such a shortlived phone... really breaks my heart to see this..
Thanks in advance...

Try using SmartFlashTool, download the LG stock ROM (can be found here in XDA forum, i'll help you find the link), flash the .bin and .fls files.

Turn off the phone. Hold Vol-DOWN while plugging it in. Start Smartflash and see the com-ports magically appear.
Follow trymhansen's instructions. He helped me before with my softbricked phone.
I hope you get your O2X back to life! Keep us posted
Best of luck to you!
PS. I also believe you should pull out the battery after turning off the phone in Trym's instructions. Trym correct me if I'm wrong please.
Hi All,
Thanks for your kind replies. I did follow your instruction. Take out the battery (I removed the ext SDcard as well), press and hold -vol and plug in the phone via USB. Afterwhich start up smartflash tool.. still nothing happens and no com ports are found.. The version of smartflashtool that I used is Dec 2010. Do I need to get the latest one and also the LG united drivers installed?
I also tried starting smartflash tool before the sequence.. still the same. BTW.. my OS is Win 7. Is it supported?
Really at my end's wit. Hope I can bring my phone back to life soon and I'm not really bricking it. I heard Samsung phones are not that easy to brick and can get to the recovery mode pretty easily. is it true?
Please help me.. thanks
Hi bros,
Attached are my screenshots from the device manager and smartflash tool... both seems not able to find the phone and allocate a com port. I've tried installing the latest LG mobile driver 3.6 but no help as well
Have you followed instructions as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070 ?
Also, try to attach your phone directly to computer, using usb ports from computer mainboard. I have experienced problems when attaching it via extension usb cord or attaching it to computer case ports. (I hope that you can understand what I have mean to say with usb )
Hi Memhis,
Yes.. I followed exactly the instructions from the thread and I've plugged into a USB port directly to the computer which is one of the ports in front.. not via any extension or USB hub.. still it did not detect.
I'll try to use another computer which is running Win XP and try again. I've downloaded those 3 files from that thread you recommended try using those instead.. hope it can be detected this time else I think I'll have to send to LG service for repair tomorrow.
I've been jailbreaking and modding my Iphone a lot and everytime whenever there's a near brick situation.. I'm able to fix it but not this time with an Android or LG perhaps... I hope I don't have to go to the extend of using ADB low level to push some files which I saw in one of the thread that one of the guys did that.. but I doubt I can since my windows can't even detect the phone!!
Maybe this will be my first and last LG phone if I ever get it repaired...

launch smartflashtool first, extract the .fls and .bin files, hold down volume at the same time plug in the usb port to your comp. you must see a s/w updating logo in your phone's screen and smartflash should detect your phone. then click start!

Hi mrgian,
I just tried to revive my phone by using the same method on a different laptop running on Win XP.. plugged directly to a side USB port but still no luck. There's no s/w updating logo appearing on my phone and smartflashtool also failed to detect my phone. I've found another thread opened by another user and my situation is exactly the same as his :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161583
But lucky for him is that he's able to get it working after changing to another PC but I've tried 3 different machines and no luck so far...
I'll try to use the NVflash as a last resort and see if I've any luck with NVflash at all.. If it failed again.. I think I've no choice but to send it to the repair centre for servicing then..

When you say an USB port in the front do you mean an USB in the back? Because the ones in front are the case ones, the ones in the back are the good ones, i.e. the ones that are directly attached to the mobo.

But I've remembered there was still about 80% power when this disaster happened and I've taken out the battery since.. so the charge should have remain?

[Q] Another way to boot to Recovery?

Hi everyone,
I started to use custom roms about some months ago, and I'm facing my biggest problem right now, hope someone can help me.
I flashed my phone via TWRP Custom recovery with CM10.1 and one day, suddenly the pin (that little entering for the charger and usb cables) stopped working, so I couldn't charge my phone in any "normal" way, I started using a direct battery charger. But today I flashed my phone with another version of CM and forgot to wipe data/cache, so now it's stucked in the CM boot animation. Thing is, I can't even access to recovery mode to flash again because for some reason, everytime I turn my phone off, it turns on automatically. Without pressing any button, and it doesn't give me time to do the vol-/home/power combo. I can't use any direct cable alternative either for what I described above. So I was wondering if some of you had a similar problem and can give me a hand with this. I'd be very much appreciated it.
Many thanks and greetings from Perú!

Press recovery combos when your turning off, see if that works, you might just be holding power too long and it turns on again
No usb at all? If you can connect with adb, you can reboot to recovery that way.

So I was wondering if some of you had a similar problem and can give me a hand with this. I'd be very much appreciated it.
Many thanks and greetings from Perú!

Use key combos mate... and after the phone vibrates, release only power button for avoiding the autorestart :fingers-crossed:
Hi, thanks all for your advices. I try em all but with no sucess. Though, something weird happened today. After the battery completely drained I tried charging it with the my regular charger, the cable to the wall one, and the phone vibrated, like it recognized it, but didn't turn on. Just vibrated. So I tried again using my micro USB to PC cable and the phone vibrated again when I plugged in to the USB port, but didn't turn on either, nor the PC recognized the device. Don't know if this is good or bad :S
If you have any more ideas, please let me know.
Thanks!

I'm trying this, but it keeps auto restarting. I'll describe what I'm doing, maybe there's something wrong:
1. Insert the battery.
2. Phone vibrates, I press Vol-/Home/Power and Samsung Galaxy S3 mini shows.
3. Keep pressing the combo and the phone turns off
4. Release the power button
5. Phone vibrates and again shows the Samsung logo and then the CM boot animation
Turn off again and same.
Thanks for the advice!
Hi again, I managed to get to "Odin Mode", the recovery that comes by default with the phone. Don't know why if I had TWRP installed. Does anyone know if it's gonna help me in some way? Remember I can't use a cable
Thanks!
How did you get into "Odin Mode"? Are you sure the cable is not working when the phone is in download mode?
Got into it by doing the button combo, tried several times and it was tricky but finally got it. And yeah I quickly connected to the computer (I have a Macbook but I also try on a PC) neither of them recognized it. Don't know what else to do
Try wireless adb.
When connected to computer:
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot recovery
As far as I know the phone should not vibrate everytime you put battery back. But if you're able to go into odin you should be able to go into recovery (unless volume up key is damaged). But... while in odin... you can go back to stock rom and that should solve lots of your problems mate.

Hi tys0n, thanks for your suggestion. I did a little research and found that to connect the phone on adb wirelessly I'd need a previously installed app. Do you know any other way to get it?
Many thanks!

You also need a working rom.
If the usb connector on the phone is broken, you can buy another one for 4$ on ebay, but you'll need to solder it and it's a smd component with small pins, so it may be difficult.
You can also try to reboot your phone in safe mode:

Yeah, thats true. A working system is needed.
Just a question.. When you try to enter recovery (vol+/home/power), have you tried to keep pushing when it reboots?
Have you tried to connect usb in download mode (vol-/home/power) to see if Odin detects it?
Whiteout a being able to synch to your computer or accessing recovery mode youre not gonna be able to restore your phone. Your best bet is buying a new micro usb cable (they are inexpensive) and restore using Odin.

Yeah, I keep pushing the buttons combo and it reboots again, it won't start to boot CM, just displays de Samsung logo and reboots. About the second question, I've tried connecting the computer while in Odin mode but it won't recognize it, I haven't tried with Odin itself open because my primary computer is a Macbook and don't have a PC with the Odin installed near to me all the time. Do you think it could recognize the device, despite the fact the whole PC doesnt?
Thanks!

Hi, I wish it'd be that easy! The problem is the pin entrance in the phone, not the cable. I have like 4 with me, but none of them works

Oh, I see. You mention you could access odin mode, Im not familiar with it, but maybe it is possible that you could flash TWRP again, or CWR from the odin recovery? Also if you don't mind me asking, do you know how did the phone's pin got damaged?
I'm starting to thing you aint got a recovery at the moment. I've seen this type of thing before. Problem is, if you can't get odin to work you won't be able to solve it :/

I have no idea. I didn't fall or anything, it just stopped working one day. I thought it had to do with a "software" thing more than hardware, because I was using CM 10.1 and of course it wasn't official, it had bugs. I actually was trying to go back to CM10 to see if that was the problem but I got stuck here.
