HTC diamond seems to be dead - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

HTC diamond seems to be dead
i ve a HTC diamond, and while flashing it stops working
===> dark display, softreset not working, hardrest not working
what shall i do to get it working againg ?
pls help .....

Do you get anything on the screen?
is it completely blank?
when pluged into wall, does light on select buttons light up?
you may of bricked the device
If you press Vol down and soft reset, you sould see a tri colour screen (Pic included)
if you get this, your diamond isn't bricked
if you flashed a cooked ROM without installing Hard-SPL dev or Hard-SPL (Signed By OliNex) it may have damaged it
Should you get a tri colour screen, plug in usb to XP computer, you should get "HTC Usb Sync", the screen should change from "Serial" to "USB". download a stock rom from HTC and flash
Hope Your Diamond Lives

[Solved]Still no Brick!!!

Hi People
I think I have really bricked my Diamond for sure. I have read all the threads related to this problem and have tried all the possible fixes but to no avail.
Here is the problem: It is stuck on the first screen after tri colour screen showing the RGD info in red ink at the bottom right cornor. Pc wont recognize it and Active Sync 4.5 on xp is grey, not green.
I have done a few Hard resets and Soft resets. I have Olinex Hard Spl installed. Had Dutty's 1.6 working perfectly when decided to cook my own with Surface Kitchen. My first cooked rom worked fine and then I cooked another one with same base Stock rom , adding som programs and bam, this thing happened.
Please Help Help and yes I had flashed the same Diamond with every available cooked rom with no problem.
Thanks in advance. Lets not Die this beautiful Jewel.
Anyone please?

Can you get it into bootloader mode??? If so, you should be fine to re-flash at that point.
I can get it to tri colour screen but it wont sync with pc ...?

So after getting to the tri-color screen and then plugging in the USB cable, you do not get "USB" at the bottom of the screen?????
Thanks for the quick reply..
Ok here is what I am doing. I perform the hard reset. Get the tri colour screen for couple of seconds and then it comes to the screen where it asks to press Volup to restore. I did it with the usb connected and usb disconnected but it wont sync. Active sync icon at the bottom on pc stays grey not green.
Pressing Volup on diamond restores, reboots and brings it back to 1st splash screen with RGD info at the bottom in red ink. aaaaah
When you are in bootscreen, connect via usb.
In the bottom off your screen you should see "usb"!
If this is what you see then flash one of the stock roms again.
After you've done this, your Diamond restarts and everything should be OK again!
Good luck!
Ok, do this:
1. Unplug the USB cable from the phone.
2. Hold down the Volume-down key and the Power button, then press (and let go of) the RESET button with your stylus.
3. When the tri-color screen appears, you can let go of the buttons.
4. The screen should say "Serial" at the bottom (in the gray color area).
5. Plug in the USB cable (The screen should change to "USB").
6. Run the RUU app to re-flash the phone.
That should get you back up and running.
To enter bootloader, turn phone off then press volume down and reset simultaneously and then power ono. If you have done this correctly it will remain there and the word "serial" appears at the bottom. Then plug in USB and the word changes to "USB" you can now flash ROM
When I flashed mine it also got stuck te first time because Windows found it necessary to install new USB driver when the Flash util wanted to connect to the HTC. The flash program jumped out leaving the diamond with the RGB screen...
But, after windows installed the new USB driver, I restarted the flash program and it finished just fine.
So if you cannot connect anymore I would try to find out if the USB driver has changed. Did you try connecting to another USB port?
Otherwise I would try to connect to another PC...
Hope it helps,
Beamer
fingers crossed
hope you unbricked it m8

Be sure to come back and update the thread if you were successful. It may help others later if they search instead of starting another thread with a similar problem.
Holy smokes......
Its breathing again. Thank you TomInMB and Windoze9t8. Give yourselves a kiss for helping me out.
I used Windoze9t8's method and it came to the serial screen and then I flashed it with Dutty's.
So I was using hard reset method to get to bootloader screen, which was wrong.
So for everyone else, its Voldown and reset button at the same time for Bootloader screen.
Flashing is done and Active Sync recognized the Diamond.
Thanks again for everyone..... and I am sure that a few of us learnt the new trick from this thread.....
Glad to hear you're all set!!!! I sure would hate to have the feeling that my precious diamond was useless!!!!
Thats right , I already lost a lots of sleep trying to fix it last night..

htc tytn 2 resets it self !!!! pleaseee help

htc tytn 2 with duttys rom r165 16 25 and 3.5 duttys
it works very good but nowww after i opened wifi it closed it self and resets it always and i couldnt hard reset it it doesnt accept could youu helppp
.....shut off your phone and enter the bootloader mode. connect your phone to your pc with a USB cable. When it says 'USB' in the little white area at the bottom of the screen flash another ROM like you normally would. You can also do a system restore by holding down your two 'blank buttons' and pressing the soft-reset button at the same time

[HELP] Is my Diamond dead? (for advanced users)

Hello,
Today my Diamond probably died.. in fact it is MDA Compact IV.
I got new battery from ebay (original 1340mah from HTC). I put new battery to MDA but it didn't start. I tried to plug charger, but there is all time such situation:
- d-pad shine twice like during charging,
- one vibra ring
- splash screens
- turn off after about 10 seconds
I change battery with old one but there is the same problem.
I can make Hard Reset, I can enter bootloader mode, but nothing more.
Vibra, splash, reset again and again. If I pull off charger- phone is dead, there is no possibility to switch on.
Does anybody know such problem? Is there any solution? I read somewhere that is probably dead mainboard, is it true?
Please somebody help me, I got my MDA only one week
There was warranty but I installed HardSPL and unofficial ROM, so I can't turn it to service
Does the phone reset when you're in bootloader as well?
No, I can enter bootloader mode.
I have such words on screen:
DIAM200 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Vict STAGE_PVT v0x20
USB.
It stays in bootloader. I can quit bootloader by soft reset. If I pull charger off then Diamond turns off.
you sure no liquid went in? or any falls?
if not - probably a faulty ROM or Radio... what you can try to do is first fully charge your phone (just keep it turned off and attached to charger).
once charged fully (you can tell by the d-pad light) when in bootloader, connect it to USB to your computer. it should change from Serial to USB on your phone. then flash a radio (preferably the one that came stock) via the Custom RUU method.
if that doesn't work... repeat steps above for a ROM...
and make sure u keep your fingers crossed good luck!
Ok, situation for today looks this way:
1. I can't turn the phone ON.
2. If I connect phone to charger or PC phone turns ON. There is one vibra ring and splash screen without numbers in corner (ROM, radio etc). Splash screen in ON for about 10-12 second, then phone is rebooting. It going all around continuously.
3. During displaying splash screen I CAN enter bootloader mode or make hard reset. If I enter to bootloader and plug charger off then phone turns OFF.
In bootloader mode there is such text on display:
DIAM200 MFG 64M
SPL- 1.40. OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
pSOC-Vict STAGE_PVT v0x20
USB.
Windows in my PC makes sound as connected UBS equipment, but ActiveSync is not connected (grey).
4. After running bootloader mode I CAN run DiamondCustomRUU.exe. It looks like updates, ROM, Radios are installed- indicator is running in my PC and also on Diamond screen. After finishing installation there is again: reset, vibra, splash screen 10-12 second, reset, vibra... etc.
I tried to install many ROM, Radios and all SPL but final is always the same.
5. I tried to install original SPL- installation looks successful, but after reset in bootloader mode there is still: SPL- 1.40. OliNex. This point is most strange for me.
6. I can connect via mtty (but activesync is still gray), but I don't know commands for mtty and I don't know what more can I do through mtty.
For me right now most important is to turn SPL back- then I can return device to service.
Does anybody knows some solutions? I'm opened for any suggestions...
Thanks,
go and stay in boot loader mode (tri-stripe colored bands) and flash with custom ruu another rom, have you tried this simple step?
EDIT: sorry I read right now you tried, so bad, so unlucky!
Seems like the battery contacts on Ur device are faulty - The gold plating might have worn out and the contact with battery terminals is bad, so device registers critical battery and shuts off.
Try cleaning the contacts with a piece cotton or a soft cloth soaked in alcohol on all the contacts. (avoid too much - should not enter the device!!)
Could you try charging your battery without phone?

what are you trying to hardreset device..??
A hard reset should only be performed if a normal reset does not solve a system
problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settingsā€”
the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows MobileĀ® software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
Try flashing back to stock rom?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Hi!
I have a boot problem also.
I used Memo ROM about 1 month ago. That was worked well still today. I restarted my Diamond today, it was not boot correctly. Only reboot the phone after showing the ROM information. I made hard reset and put back the rom again, but the phone is not boot properly.
Could to help somebody for me?
I solved the problem.
I downloaded the original rom (included with radio rom) from htc.com.
I put the phone to bootloader mode and flashed this original ROM.
After flashing finished, my diamond boot to WM6.1.
I don't know what was the problem, but it works again...
I hope never happening this again!
