i just picked up my telus htc diamond last night. was looking forward to putting the new juicy rom on it today, but i get screwed over big time. first i tried putting the hardspl from here, that didnt work. then i went to ppc forums downloaded .057 cdma version of hardspl for diamond. that worked. so i wont over to install the juicy TELUS version of the rom 2.3. was going well, but 40% through it stopped, and ever since i was not able to get the rgb screen off my touch. i tried reapplying the .057 version and now it wont start up. the screen freezes on htc diamond touch, with version info. is it a done deal for this phone? if there is any way to fix it, please help me out. the stock version rom on it was 1.6.661. or do you think they will take it back. i will say i was updating the files, and it just keeps freezing on it. do you think they will notice i was tempering with it? any help would be appriciated. i just signed on a 3 year term, and don't feel like paying 500 dollars for it, as i was running all over the city to get the 100 discount on the phone.
please help me out on this one. thank you
when i start it up, it shows these stats
uP0B P DCBBBPZM-615010
B 80 R 0. 99. 90V
ps20 D 1. 06
are these stock stats?
did u try hard reset?
If not u can find a stock rom and try to flash it in using bootloader mode?it shd work if u r able to go into bootloader...good luck bro
i can't seem to dwonload the stock rom. but i doubt it will wokr because the phone is not synced. it wont start up. it stays frozen on that blackdiamond screen with red letters. do you think they will take it back in store if i say i dunno what happened?
i am not sure what hard reset is. i tried removing the battery and i also tried pressing on the little button behind the battery slot is.

Tatswhy i ask to u to try to go into bootloader bro,if u can, u might still be able to flash in a rom...
Don't panic. Try Hard Reset. Keep pressed Volume down button+Enter+,,little button behind the battery slot'' and than follow the instruction on the screen. Try search better for Hard Reset

hold down down vol key,centre action key and then poke and let go the red reset button while still holdin on to the 2 button,you shd see a grey screen which warn u about losing all your data.
i cna't seem to put on a stock rom. i download one from ppc forums, but it shows its 1.00. my telus cmae wiht .1.6.661
i can't seem to be able to flash anything on. i do hard reset and it goes ot the rgb screen, but not much from there.
when i try to flash it, it wont even display the image version. does it mean there is no rom on it or what?

Yes both Left & Right softkeys together and pres the stylus into the reset holes and hold for a couple of secs. Then follow onscreen instructions.
ya but the screen is a blank black screen so i cant see anything ><
Do what he says, and if you did it well (i.e. didn't fat-finger on other keys than the 2 you need to press) it would NOT load the OS, so you must see the "instructions" appear immediately. Or your screen would be dead.
okay i did that and then it rebooted and i redid the screen calibration and then it did the update afterwards it softreseted automatically and i got stocked. after the bars again black screen appeared. grrrrrr

Go to bootloader screen press and hold camera button and soft reset. Then reflash rom. Make sure you hard reset after flashing; before set up.

FIXED
After rooting my Samsung Galaxy S, it got bricked and got stuck on the black and white logo sign. The home buttons would light up but I had to take the battery out to turn it off. When I plugged in the USB at the battery sign, I pushed the volume up and volume down and power button at the same time and let go of the power button when the screen flashed back, then let go of the volume buttons after awhile. That took me to the download mode. I tried other methods like one click un brick but it didn't work. After following the instructions to the link below it now works fine!! I'm so glad because I almost sent it to Samsung for $70. I hope this will help anyone else who is having the same problem! If I can do it, I think anyone can do it! This was my first time trying to root a phone without knowing anthing.
Here's the link:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
Also some helpful tips when using the Odin program:
-before you plug in your USB cable, put the tar and pit files into the same folder as the extracted odin file so you won't run into any problems
-then after plugging it in, if the box in the Odin program doesn't turn green then disconnect/connect USB cable again and it should turn green
so I found out it crashed because i was using root explorer >< I had no idea it could do that to my phone. anyways I looked up how to hard reset the phone when its frozen. is that the only way? because its not working. the first thing to do is hold the volume button down and then press and release the power button then three things are supposed to pop up. but everytime i try to do that, it just goes to the black and white screen >< any tips or advice?
You should press the volume down + home button + power button, then the phone will enter in download mode and from there you can flash a new working rom with odin.
Or if you want to wipe data you can press volume up + home + power and it will enter in recovery menu.
thanks, but I think I really screwed up my phone. because I tried that and all the other ways to put it in recovery mode but everytime I push those buttons the black and white screen keeps blinking
Can you put the phone into recovery or download mode with adb?
adb reboot recovery
or
adb reboot bootloader
That sounds way too complicated after looking it up. I don't think I should mess with it because it might mess up even more. Do you think how much it would cost if I went to a phone repair shop? If it's more than $20, I'm gonna do whatever I can to do it myself. T_T
So i found out that if you push the volume up ANd down button ANd power button at the same time it will let you clear all data and restart the whole phone. I did that and when I turn it on it makes the tmobile sound but it still freezes at the black and white sign. Any suggestions? I don't want to pay $70 and send it in to samsung T_T also, I forgot to mention but I used root explorer to try to change the framework. would that have been the problem? or would it be the installation of bug busy installer? because after I installed that it kinda froze on me. But I used root explorer before and didn't have a problem with it. Anyways, anyone can help me on how to get it off the black and white screen?
Hi all,
My phone is EU retail, locked, unrooted. I updated from ICS to JB via manual download of the update and installation via SD card as explained in one of the more popular threads here. Now after the JB update, I want to enter recovery in order to clear the cache.
With ICS, I was perfectly capable to enter the stock recovery. Press power + vol. down for a few seconds, and the (fastboot?) menu appreaed where I could select recovery. Then the dead robot shows up, I pressu vol. up + vol. down and I had the expected options. Now on JB however, this does not work. It does not matter how long i hold power + vol.down, it always boots the system. When I press power + vol. down and keep holding the two buttons, the green LED goes on and off, then the phone vibrates, showes the red M and seemingly starts to boot. Then the screen goes off and it repeats the 3 steps (LED, vibrate, red M) but then goes on to boot up the system...
Is this supposed to happen?
Same here. It looks like there is no Recovery installed at all, so will try to flash one tonight.

I'm new to Motorola so need to ask...what is this stock recovery for? Is it the same as a typical 'custom recovery'? I've never heard of a manufacturer putting on in their ROM...so can I do a normal backup of a ROM or no? Thanks

Thanks, this releasing of the power button while still holding vol. down works reliable to get into fastboot. However, when I select recovery, the screen goes black? Something is not quite right with my phone...
Edit: I seem to get the hang of it. Now I finally get into recovery. When I select it from the fastboot menu, the screen gets black for a couple of seconds and then the dead robot appears. To get the options in recovery, I press both vol up + down at the same time twice. Initially, the layout in recovery is broken up. Just two blue lines at the top and a few characters in green at the left border. Once I press any of the volume buttons, the options finally appear.
Hmm I have not gotten into recovery on JB even once...can't get in.
help please!!
i have de same problem
when i push power button, the green led turns on for a few seconds and then the phone get off... i can not enter into recovery mode either
anyone know how to fix it or fix it already
thanks!! :crying:
The above tip doesn't work for me - either my timing is wrong or I don't understand the instuctions.
Someone else kindly explained it differently and eventually I got it working. That was posted in some other thread and I don't think it was directly related to recovery - I can't even find that post now!
I have found people saying they've got root on the RAZR M on locked bootloader Jelly Bean...but you need to access stock recovery which I can't do now.

That's the original post...I don't fully understand it.
I am grateful to that poster for trying help people - so I don't want to be misunderstood! :good:
If I were to describe the boot process to someone, nothing 'vibrates' - so I don't understand that. My phone doesn't vibrate when boot begins, and no 'i' vibrates either. Also, there are two 'i's. There is the i in Intel and in Inside. I'm guessing it's the first i. Believe me, I have tried 10 combinations like 50 times. I know it can be done, but can't do it using that post.
Nope, someone else explained it differently and I got it the first time. It wasn't a recovery thread so it's hard to find now.
Your Razr does not vibrate after boot? This is strange. Ok, let me try to describe the process based on my Razr i. (As simple as possible)
1. The mobile is turned off
2. Press and hold the Vol- button
3. Now press and hold the Power button and observe the green light. It turns on at the same time I press the Power button. The green light is on for approx. 2 seconds than it turns off.
4. Just at the moment when the green light turns off my Razr vibrates twice within 1 second.
5. I need to release the Power button before the 2. vibration and at least 0,5 seconds later the Vol- button. This is the point to get in the fast boot menu.
Without any vibration you should try to release the Power button just at the moment when the green light turns off - followed by releasing the Vol- button 0,5 seconds later.

Hold volume - / volume + / Power-button (all 3 buttons) simultaneously for about 10 sec. Let it reboot.
No luck tried this

What if u try it again. Hold all 4 buttons, while the phone is connected to power for 10sec. After that release the power and volume up button. So u hold volume down all the time. See what happens.
Hello there, sorry for this resurrection but I have the same problem, black screen, green led on, but nothing more, no fastboot, no recovery, no logos, no vibration, nothing.
Is there any solution for this? I've tried power button + volumen down in many ways and nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

You can only try to flash ifwi and dnx as I did but I also had no success and also Moto themselves couldn't fix the phone.
If your phone is still in warranty it will get replaced, otherwise you can throw it away.
i had this problem when my battery was deeply unloaded. i had to load it with an powersource with 1A and a factory cable. that worked for me...
Help ,, please emergency !!!!
my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. Please help.
