My Diamond also stuck in infinite reboot loop ! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I bought this phone hardly used from Canada and was simlocked so I did all the hard spl'ing, sim unlocking and all the other "ings and installed the brilliant DonSalari ROM worked beautifully for around 7 months and I took care of it. I never installed anything else of messed about with any settings.
But two days back after heavy usage the battery almost died and I came on put it on recharge and now its going into the reboot loop.
I hard reset it, reflashed the radio, took out the battery for hours and a lot of other things I read about here and none of them work.
It will sometimes boot up and become normal for a few minutes and after a while go back to its cycle. Currently it wont even stay on long enough to hook up to my PC. But sometimes holding the reset button helps and that was how I was able to reflash the radio
Anybody got any ideas. My phone is still newish and I seriously cannopt afford a new one now
Any advice would be more than welcomed
Thanks in advance

You could try the radio 10.00.25.05.
As least for me, all radios but 10.00.25.xx makes my diamond keep in this reboot loop.
I'm trying to figure out why that happen, but it seems that no one knows.

Hi, i've just got this same problem
had this phone for a while now, about 15 months, just finished a phonecall 5-10 minutes ago phone reset, thought how odd, and now it just keeps resetting after the loading screen disappears, have now hard reset it, and still doing it.
will try flashing a new radio see if it solves it
i have radio version 1.17.25.09 using 2.07 shaks which have been using for the last 6 months or so i think without any troubles!
*edit*
flashed 10.00.25.05. seems to be working now
annoyingly i hard reset first and i've just had a new harddrive on my pc so lost all my contacts
thanks

Just after buying my diamond I changed to hardspl, radio and rom, and it was like your situation, just after a few days working I had to hard reset, because it starts to auto reset. After the hard reset, everything was fine again for a few more days. Then I tried to change the radio to the more used one, 10.00.25.05. The problem was gone until some days ago, when I decided to try Security Unlock and 1.17.xx radio, and the problem was back. I reverted to 10.00.25.05, everything was fine again, except the wifi, now I can't connect to the internet, just to local network (no problems with other phones using the same wifi hotspot).
Before chaging back to 10.00.25.05, I have also tried a lot of things, many hardspl, mtty, different roms, security unlock, removed security unlock, diferent radios, but the only ones that really worked were: 10.00.25.xx and 10.02.xx. With 10.08.xx radio I could partially use the phone, but sense 2.5 didn't worked and neither phone network.
Now I'm using 10.02.25.32 for 1 day and a half. No problems until now, no resets, network and sense working fine, battery is good (it's 75% on the second day). I'll try for more days and see if everything is ok.
Sorry for your contacts
That happened to me once, now I always backup my contacts in internal storage and also in 2 computers. Lots of version, good that PinBackup writes the date on the file, easier to see which one is newer
Thanks for sharing your situation. I'm trying to figure out what can be done to solve this problem, more experiences is more information for my "research"

lucky I had a backup from december so still got most of them!
I may try a few radio's next week since i've got a lot of free spare time at the mo.
may try a few different roms as well and see how it goes!

Finally solved this and all it needed was a good 15 hour recharge and now its back to completly normal

hrmm, mine starting rebooting again earlier, again just after a phonecall, although this time i was driving and i didn't answer it but it kept rebooting, taking the battery out for a few minutes and its stopped now, will try flashing a different rom next week and see what happens
i'll leave it to charge overnight too, i did try a different battery incase it thought the battery was low as i'm using the offical extended one, but still did it with the original

restarting prob...
hello same problem here too..plz provide me the link too..for the radio 10.02.25.32

Well the hd on my computer fried not long after posting my last message so I didn't get time to try out different roms/radio's
still using the 10.00.25.05, since i've last posted its been fine, however it has started to reboot itself sometimes, battery showing as 30/40% starts rebooting then battery shows as 2%, although i've recently been moving between houes and haven't had time to charge it properly.
i've also noticed HSPDA recention is a million times better with this radio, I have another diamond (well my partners) and she barely gets good reception with HSPDA, in our home i generally get 2-3 bars and she can't get anything, she's using 1.17.x.x strangly she's never had the phone restart with her, and has been using that radio longer than I had been.
also for the radios, you can either search for the thread or click this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306

Question: device resets its self

I am hoping for some help here, I have a Cingular 8125 its unlocked and all - for about a year I have been like most of you flashing different ROM's without any problems until now. My device will continually reset, it does not seem to matter what ROM I am running including the stock Cingular 2.25 ROM. It happens more often when I its not pluged in, and when I am using the web. It also sometimes cannot come out of the reset - so it will show the first boot screen then the second windows screen then reset again. It will do this until the battery is dead. When I plug it into the wall charger it will fully boot.
I am really stuck here any suggestions. I was thinking it might be a battery problem so I have orderd a new one.
I just need this thing to last for a few more months.
Do not give up !!!
New battery will not help here. I had the exact same problem and posted on this forum many times. Did not help. Changed the battery to a new one. Did not help. Flased the ROM many many times. Did not help.
And then right when I was ready to dump the phone in the dustbin, I downloaded and tried faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-8mb. It became much much better and it would reboot only on bad signals. Then I tried different radio roms, but the problem remained inconsistent.
Finally got hold of T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly.zip and that was it. The combination of this radio and a clean faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-8mb (no other software) did the trick for me. I have a useless extra battery now, but the phone is rock solid.
Might not help you, but just wanted to tell you not to give up. There has to be some combination there that works.

Help needed! All roms keep hard-resetting themselves after a few hours!

Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right place for asking this, but I'm in quite a big problem.
I've had my HTC Diamond since December and I've flashed it to several different roms many times since then. Never had any problem at all.
But during the past two weeks my phone just started acting crazy. It would all of a sudden crash and even if I took out the battery and placed it in again, it wouldn't boot up. I'd have to wait until I got back home to flash the ROM again, so I could keep using the phone.
BUT the problem is that ever since then the ROM keeps hard-resetting itself every few hours. Sometimes it might last for a day or two without doing anything weird. But all of a sudden it might just crash, and when rebooting the phone would act as if it was the first time running the phone (you know, with the screen calibration, time settings and all... and then having to import all of my contacts and calendar again, not to mention any application).
This hard-reset also happens randomly when I turn the phone off and on again. Sometimes it loads up normally, sometimes it goes to factory settings again.
Now, I wouldn't be so worried if this wasn't happening WITH EVERY SINGLE ROM that I'm trying. Both Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 roms. Even those that I've used in the past without any problem. They all hard-reset themselves at some point or crash and get unable to boot until I flash another ROM again.
I've also tried fully hard-resetting the phone myself -both the phone memory and the internal memory- and even flashing different Hard-SPLs and Radios.
It still goes on the same though.
Anyone has any suggestions?
Or is my phone dead forever now?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Have you tried to instal stock roms? If they work, install cooked rom with the same version as stock. Might help.
I have the same problem since a few days... Have you solved it yet?
I'm having extactly the same strange issues... Does anyone have any idea on why this is happening? I'm going out crazy!
This happens sometimes after you've installed numerous ROM's.
You'll need to use an app called 'Mtty' to sort out the problem, then flash ROM again and it should work fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-231190.html
Look on google/do some research before using to make sure you understand what it is mtty.exe is, and how to use it.
thank you for your quick answer cymru, but i resolved flashing a stock rom and then reflashing the cooked one ad suggested by kosherpig.
Bye!

Xperia constantly resetting...

Hey all,
I posted a while ago about my phone having died and only having red flashing lights...I managed to solve that- thanks for you help, but now have a completely different problem.
Since then about a week has passed and approximately every 36 hours the phone seems to crash. When I take out the battery and turn it on again it invariably hangs at the Ericsson logo screen. When I then leave it off for a period of time (between 2 and 12 hours) I either find it starts to work again, or that I'll have the red flashing lights and have to leave it for longer.
When it does start working, it always seem to have been hard reset and I have to go through the set up again.
It's possible heating the battery speeds up how long it takes to start working again (although I've tried it with 2 batteries so I'm not sure why that would work) - and I'm not sure if that is actually the case yet or not anyway.
- It's very frustrating to lose all of my contacts daily, but I don't want to give up on £250 worth of kit... any ideas?
Thanks so much

Heh, don't know.
Maybe some other rom's installation messed up something....
hmm... I faced the same problem...
So.. I did have to send it for repair :S ....
maybe i have the same problem... many roms tried, many soft and hard-reset, but the lifetime cycle of the phone before to re-flash the device is at maximum 1-2 days... now i'm trying the tips about quickgps (maybe could be correlated) on the thread in this forum... but the most probably truth i think that could be an internal memory rom damage... if anyone find a soluzion about this problem via software i'm here...
I seem to be having the same problem.
A week ago i tested the latest roms with winmo 6.5.1, after several roms i settled with a rom with build 23081, enabled htc sense, played around abit and went to bed and put the phone to charge. when i woke and touched the screen, the phone immediately froze.
After removing battery it froze again in SE boot screen and after second removal of battery the phone hard reseted it self.
The phone has been freezing and flashing itself ever sense, sometimes the uptime is minutes sometimes over day.
Currently the phone has survived 3 days without a spontaneous flash, the only difference is that i didn't bother to enable htc sense last time it flashed. So i enabled htc sense once again and will see if the phone survives a day.

i had approximatively also the same problem... i'm trying to understand what is the reason of this instable situation... gps location? memory? graphic instance that use HTC sense? is heavy to understand... if anyone could also find the right solution...
was having the same problem tried the method in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290 and it is working on my X1 so far

Did the "task 29" do anything?
I tried the method suggested but no change besides hard reset. And the X1 froze about 12h after that...

ye mine did it again aswell this morning
i just tried hard reseting then install a stock rom then hardreset again and install a custom rom, will let you know if it works
Do you guys often use Opera Mobile?
Ahah!
Very encouraging to see other people had the same difficulties... and I suppose that it's just a question of making sure a fresh ROM flash works properly.
Sadly mine has reached the stage where it's no longer working for 'a day' before crashing... it's just pretty much dead.
Now I can bring up the tricolour screen if I'm plugged in, the ROM then begins to flash off the memory card, but crashes half way through every time.
I have tried this with 2 batteries, one of which (which I have used once and was working fine but only lasted 2 days before breaking) now does nothing whatsoever. The other lets me get half way through the flash every time.
- I can't send it back on the warranty until I reflash it myself (and I don't have a receipt anyway) so I'm going to go find a high street mobile fixing place and see if they can help.
hardresetting then flashing a stock rom (R3A generic) then hardresetting again then installing custom rom and hardresetting, definately fixed my phone, has been working for more than 2 days now it usually stops in less than 1 day.
FYI - high street phone guys managed to reflash the device for £15....it lasted 4 days but has just died again.

Strange freezing problem with phone

I'm not sure if it a freezing problem or it just won't accept any input
Basically after my Kaiser has been on charge overnight I will get around to using it and can't. What will happen is the screen & buttons will not work, although they can be used for a split second every 3 seconds.
After a reset everything is back to normal, so I'm not sure what the problem is, I don't have a lot of programs installed and only 1 has been install in the past month which is A2DP Today Toggle, so far I've un-installed it and left it again but I still have the problem.
Thanks for any help
I have a similar problem. In the morning i have to soft rest the phone for it to work. Issues started after 6.5 upgrade. There must a solution somewhere in here..........
Does a hard reset fix the problem? Does this happen with every ROM you've tried?
I have only stuck with the official rom, I bought it on 6.0 and then updated to 6.1 after it's release. A hard reset does fix it but some time after it will return, bear in mind this has never done it previously just about a month ago.
I guess it might be a issue with some program that is being installed

every rom i install works great until...

about 12 hours of using one it crashes and reboots
when it does this i also lose all my data as if i just reflashed it
every rom i tried has done this, my hardspl is pretty old (1.23) but idk if that is the cause of it.
if anyone can help or point me in the direction i need to go it'd be appreciated
same here, only mine may last for a couple of days before it starts rebooting randomly. Sometimes all data is lost (contacs, shortcuts etc.) and its like as if I just installed a new rom, ans some times it retains it

strangely enough the last one i installed hasn't done it yet so i'm hoping it doesn't
[ROM|WWE|21893] Windows Mobile 6.5 Clean Basic ROM [12|4|2010] [SENSE 2.1|SENSE 2.5]
i used the sense 2.5 on this page and i haven't had a problem... yet lol
(i'd post the link but i'm new lol)
I have similar problem
my diamond works only some minutes or an hour, then the work with system is a bit slow and system freezes, then i tried soft reset, but diamond doesn`t boot and there is only boot image with rom version (sometimes boot normally, but only to a state which is after hard reset), then i have to make hard reset, and diamond boot normally. it makes with every rom, with sim or without sim card, with applications or without...after that hard reset works normaly, but after some minutes or an hour is work with system again a bit slowly and there is a same problem again and the story with hard reset is here again...actual rom is nataly 2.7. thx for help.
yeah lucky ive been using the one i posted for the past few days, no problems other than like minor graphic errors that go away, but nothing like system crash or hard resets so i hope this one works for me cuz i like it
my problem is solved
with mtty and now diamond works perfectly - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290
Definitely - use MTTY to clean up the memory before you flash the ROM.
MTTY is tricky to use if you use Windows 7 but on XP is is very easy. Searching XDA will show you all you need to know.
I am having the same problem, I have done MTTY twice but still the same.
