I've searched and asked for help for months and I can't find anything.
My Sprint Touch Diamond is F'd. I tried flashing an unofficial ROM to it, and on the reboot process, it won't turn back on. In fact, it constantly resets...every time I turn it on, or even placing it on the charger it will turn itself on and keep resetting.
I need to know if it's bricked or if there is anyway of getting it to work again. Someone please please please help, im pretty desperate for advice. Thanks in advance.
Did you install the HardspL? Anyways try to hold down the volume down button and the power button while you push the reset button. If it brings you to a multi-colored screen connect it to the USB and flash another Rom. Make sue it is a CDMA if your phone is CDMA.
Yeah, if you can get it into bootloader you should be able to reflash the shipped rom from your carrier. Use the exe. I would flash it at least twice.
i believe its cdma. it was brand new from sprint.

If you can get into bootloader mode(press vol down + power)until you see the tricolor bars then you're ok you can either flash the stock rom or unlock it then install a custom rom.
HTH
ive searched these forums for an answer for months and have found nothing, It wont go past the boot screen. Ive tried about ten different roms, which have worked before. Hard reset doesn't do anything, and MTTY is a joke. I am willing to pay anyone who can help me get this thing working, im a desperate man at the moment!

Can you get it into the bootloader? If you cant then your probably out of luck. If you can, flash HSPL, unlock your phone, and flash a ROM.

Yes, it goes into the bootloader. I've flashed a hard spl, it's unlocked. I just tried your rom that makes 12 that I've tried. The same thing happens. The phone turns on to the Touch DIAMOND screen with the red rom info on the bottom and it will not go any farther. Hard resetting does the same thing. I've tried using MTTY, I've tried stock sprint roms.
I know i can get it to work. This same thing happened before and my diamond didnt work for months. One day i decided, ill give it another try and flashed pegasus 6.1 and it worked like a champ ever since. I tried like 4 other roms too and they worked just fine.
I was using PMD's 2.5 rom when it crashed. I deleted all of my text messages, and then the phone froze and didn't turn back on. When I tried to reflash the rom is where im at now...stuck in the boot screen.
I've never been in the bootloader on my Diamond myself, it won't open
If there are diagnostics tools, try them out. Also try flashing on a different PC and OS or with a different cable. Disable antivirus software may also help.
I think I'm sol man. Still no luck.

hi if anyone can help thatll be greatly appreciated. I just bought an att tilt 8925, and well this is what happens. it boots up and goes into windows screen and then as soon as it goes into the main screen it vibrates a whole bunch of times and then just shuts down. can't get it to active sync to reflash because it wont stay on after it goes into the main screen any help would be appreciated!
Where did you buy this Tilt? Did this happen straight out of the box or have you already flashed it?
Search on how to manually get into boot loader and re flash; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383904
i bought it like that. the phone is in great condition. all features seem to work but i think the guy did a hackjob on the rom so it's not working right and im all new to trying to get it to work.
Since it's new... start with some baseline work.
1. Do a hard reset.
2. Record ROM and radio versions
3. If it comes up... consider loading the ROM of your choice.
I see you're new here so PLEASE read my signature.
Thanks,
Your best bet would be, download the OEM official Tilt ROM, Manually get into boot loader, then flash it. There are also other methods of flashing such as from your Sd card. The previous mentioned link has allot of answers.
okay i just tried entering bootloader but it wont get into the screen. i hold the camera buton and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of th phone but it just boots up normally. anything im doing wrong?
Hello all,
first, a big thanks to all the rom developers around. You transformed my Diamond in a usable and enjoyable tool.
What happened to me tonight is very frightening. In fact, I cannot believe what happened.
And this is the story: I was at a birthday party and later in the evening I checked my phone : it seemed to have frozen, so I rebooted it as I do sometimes when I have no other choice. But this time something strange happened : I got the following message "this concludes the beta test of this software release. thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers" - what the ... ? No way to make a call, the message is impossible to remove... completely blocked !!!
I don't remember exactly the rom I flashed last because I sometimes change. It might be a dutty's release (75%M sure) - anyway I was in a very bad situation because my wife wasn't feeling well and I couldn't call her without finally borrowing a phone from someone.
I will flash a new rom tomorrow and I hope that the message will disappear but I can tell you that it is a very strange feeling when suddenly your phone refuses to operate normally. It's a nightmare.
I hope that someone has an explanation for this because I don't want to go trough this situation ever again, it's just so annoying to have a phone which tells you "No you can't use me; your trial period has expired" when you need it he most.
Thank you for your opinions in advance
Have you tried a hard reset?
Yep same problem here.
Using duttys 1.93 - Can't get to his website either.
Hard rest does not work - had to reflash back to branded (Telstra) ROM
i'm having the exact problem right now, what can i do to fix this? someone told me to reflash it but how? i'm VERY new to the diamond
hardreset does not work
I bought the phone from a person so it's second hand. The seller did mention he updated the ROM, I'm assuming this is the cause of the problem? help please
thanks!
I am getting the exact same problem.I do not know what to do.
Sigh and since my computer will not sync, I cannot reflash it. Hard set is also a no go.
ya I cant sync it with my computer either... i'm searching other sections on this forum and I cant seem to find one that teaches you how to flash without syncing with the computer
OK i got it well kinda sorta. If you hard reset and just use the date taht dutty had then your phone will load. Do not correct the date and you should also change the date on your computer so that it wont sync. Then donwload his new rom or whatever rom you prefer and then flash it. Then change the dates back. It worked for me.
thanks.. do you have the link for the new rom?
I'm going to give it a try
The link it dutt'y new rom is here http://rapidshare.com/files/162091111/Ruu_Signed_duttys_diamond__V2.9_5_2_20275_RTM_Full_MSVC.zip
just a question how do you flash it?
can you help me? i'm very new to this phone
I had the same problem last night- expired beta software. If I do a hard reset I believe I will loose all the info on the phone, is that correct?
I was thinking that changing the date will work, is there another way to change the date without having to loose the info?
Someone has a reliable link to an instruction on how to flash the ROM?
I am also using throy 2.3, to find the latest release please go to WWW.DUTTYTHROY.NET
Any help appreciated.
!everyone! you can flash roms from bootloader. hold volume down and the little red reset button, keep holding vol down untill bootloader. at the tri color screen, run ruu from host pc. everything will be fine with this method. just like activesync.
ok i to change the time and stuff and it actually can sync using active sync.. however.. when tried to install HSPL 1.24 after the part where the phone will turn black.. i click on the DiamondCustomRUU as instructed
but it says this "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). CLick on OK to terminate the application"
Is there a way I can recover this without losing all that is on my phone?
Do anybody know the password for the latest ROM 2.9 from Dutty? His page is unavailable right now....
Duttys V2.9 RTM Finale
someone please tell me how to flash.. from scratch? i hard reset my phone.. and i cant get HSPL to work. When i install the activesync way, the black screen turns on then i cant open DiamondCustomRUU
if i do i the bootloader way, when i connect from the three colour screen it cant pick up the phone because it says i'm missing Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM
please help been stuck for hours already
i won't flash Duttys ROM again!!! Right now i need my phone and it doesn't work! And if i reflash it i lose my data....
never again!
its you have a problem with duttys rom
you need to use his thread to point out your problems....
not this one.
I'm not sure why, but my 8925 shuts down after the vibrate and the att screen comes up. It doesn't get to the 3G splash. I tried to enter bootloader, but to no avail. I guess the power isn't on long enough. Is there any other way to get into the bootloader mode so I can try loading a new rom or at least hard spl. I tried a battery from my other tilts and same response. I've tried the hard reset also, but nothing. This is my first post so hopefully its in the right section. I've flashed many roms, etc, but not on this machine (still running att rom) so I know just enough to be dangerous. But this one has me stumped. Its out of warranty, so this is my last hope. Thanks for any ideas you may have!!
please go read this thread and start from there...there are quite a few links that you help you in that thread..

when you go into that bootloader, make sure the camera button is ALL the way down, and also click that link up there ^
I tried to upgrade my 8125 using Shelltool earlier this week. I used the tool successfully before and so I was assuming that things would just go well.
Unfortunately, I ended up being stuck on the bootscreen. I can also still go into Bootloader mode and so I figured all I need to do is to download the Wizard Love ROM, go into Bootloader mode and apply the ROM to restore an older version. Well, for some reason the RUU utility keeps telling me about a communication issue even though I already disabled USB in Active Sync and I also killed the program using Task Manager...
What am I missing here? I am hoping that someone can enlighten me...
Thanks,
Jens
For some reason I was finally able to flash my 8125 with the Wizard Love ROM this morning. Flash completed and I was back to an old working ROM.
Unfortunately, when I flashed it with the latest CR86 it flashed fine, but then I am stuck on the Bootloader screen. Already tried it twice and just running it a third time, but I am puzzled...
Any help?
Thanks,
Jens

its on its last flashes my friend(or maybe just tire of custom roms)
but just before mine died, it would do that, until i was stuck on the bootloader and the screen would just die, i would have to leave it off then turn on but the same, after that i just left it alone
i could not flash anything on it and i could not see it suffer anymore
i still have it but dont have time to bring it back to life, at least it blinks at me
That's what I was worried about...
Strange thing is I probably only flashed it about 10 times... Very frustrating!
Thanks for your reply!
Hmmm, I just tried the old Wizard Love ROM again and it worked right away.
What am I missing here? I am trying to get to the new CR85 6.5 ROM, but I always end up being stuck on the bootscreen loader. I mean it shows me the HTC screen, but then it goes straight to the bootscreen...
Any suggestions?
I am back in business!
It turned out that flashing back to an older ROM disabled my HardSPL. I guess a case of user error on my end...
Anyhow, I also experienced the fading display mentioned above and I think that's just a sign of a weakening battery. It seems that the phone doesn't charge fast enough over USB in Bootloader mode.
So, if you run into the same problems like me:
- Charge your phone using the charger when you are stuck in Bootloader mode for extended amount of times!!!
- Flash an old provider ROM or Wizard Love ROM
- Re-apply HardSPL if needed
- Upgrade to a newer ROM
Cheers,
Jens
I need help ppl. I flashed my Touch HD with RUU_Dutty_s_HD_WM6.5_R6_5.2.23007.5.3.0_1.59.709.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.14.25.24_Turbo rom . i've been using it for the last one week and yesterday i hard reset my phone and when i tried switching it on again, it got stuck at the 'smart mobility' screen and has been the same ever since. Please help me out with this problem guys. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
If you have already done a hard reset, you will have lost yor info so I would try and do another if that does not work reflash again.Good luck
If you can't get past smart mobility screen and you have tried a couple hard resets, turn off phone by removing battery, go into bootloader and then reflash rom
well i followed instructions..went to bootloader screen and reflashed the rom..its working now..thanks for your help..i think it was a problem with the dutty rom. One thing i must say that most of the ppl who flash the dutty rom face this problem...something to think about eh...anyways i've lost all my data..but my phone is up and running again..thanks guys....

IMHO I would have to disagree with you on that. Most people using Duttys roms would not get this issue. I've used all his roms and never experienced this.
Anyway, your problem solved. Thread Closed
