[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..

Huge Problems with my HTC Touch DIamond

hello guys, i hope someone out there can help me
I got an HTC Touch Diamond from my friend, he gave it to me and told me that it didnt work for several weeks, and that he wants to get rid of it and sold it to me for some bucks.
It never fell down, is in great physical condition etc, so i thought the problem has to be due to the rom/software.
the device behaves really strange.
- Sometimes, when i turn it on, the screen keeps black, but the rom loads, and when it's loaded, it shows the homescreen, but without backlight.
- Sometimes, after this happens, i try to do a hard-reset (voldown, center, reset) but this doesnt work at all! I know how a hard reset works and how it looks like, but it wont work on this device
- Sometimes, everything works well, the device loads his content, the backlight is on and i can flow through the tabs. That's the point when i try to flash the rom. But i cannot manage a proper active-sync connection.
When i plug it on my pc, the device manager appears (vista) and tries to sync etc.
syncing works, but the connection only last for a few minutes (3 to 5) then it shuts the conection down.
also i should say that the light of the keypad behaves very strange too. Sometimes, there is no light at all, even not when the device is off and plugged in for charging. sometimes, all 4 buttons are lighting, but the center is not. and the last case was, that only the phone-button (left down corner) was lighting, screen was black.
I really dont know what to do. I cannot manage to do a hard reset, it just doesnt work. I push the voldown and the center button, then push the reset....but the display doesnt show me what i want to see (the white screen with the warning message...)
Also, when i try to format the internal memory in the options, the phone can't do it, the rom freezes and the touchscreen doesnt work anymore.
Also updating the rom/hardspl and radio wont work right now, because i cant manage to get a connection with my pc that last long enough
Please help guys! :'( Thanks in advance!

I think you can flash the rom from the Internal Storage. Try to search for it on the ROM section. In this way you won't be dependant on the active sync connection. The only problem with this is getting it on your internal storage in the first place. You could disable the active sync and use the other option (device drive or something like that).

hi you should try this... it works for me. the problem is not the same but i think it may work for you to

[Q] Factory Reset on partially damaged touch. Unable to get past choose language?

Hi,
I have an Xperia ZR whose screen is partially non functional (the bottom three buttons do not work in portrait orientation). Recently I factory reset the phone (it was crashing), and it got stuck at the select language screen. (The "Done" button is at the bottom of the screen). Any tips on how I can proceed forward.

Just attach computer mouse through USB OTG cable and you will be able to select any option on whole screen by mouse click

[Q] Shattered Screen. Need to recover files.

So I just discovered my good old Galaxy S with a shattered screen (black screen). The touch is only working in the upper left part, cant see anything tho. It has a custom Rom. So the thing is, when I connect the phone to my PC, it makes that "device detected" sound, but I nothing shows up. I have tried everything, but probably USB debugging isnt enabled because it doesnt detect my phone in the ADB. Any solutions?

i8200 all working but black screen

Sorry guys if this mentioned before but my dad brought his i8200 to me last night saying phone went to a black screen a while ago. Let me explain the situation;
Phone boots up, works, if I put my sim card on it, I can call myself however during this whole time phone screen is black and unresponsive.
I tried to flashing official firmware via odin which didnt help. I dont know if it is related but when I connect phone via usb cable to pc I see it is popping up in "my computer" tab but I cant look into it because it is locked. However at the same time odin recognizes the phone which seem odd to me. Any help would make my old pal happy.

I know it is a fairly late reply, but have you tried opening the phone up to check the connector and cable going to the screen?
I am in a similar position, but our S3mini is even less alive. So I just opened it up today. I used this site with the remark that the speaker (the one that is against your ear when making a call) is held by stickytape so needs very careful prying loose to prevent the flatcable from being damaged.
