Hi all,
so i did a bad flash and my diamond doesnt boot into windows, not a problem with the Unlocker Right? turn off and turn on holding power+down volume key+ center key and back key, it boots into bootloader but it just sits there saying LOADING... and this is because the internal memory wasnt being recognize by windows before the bad flash.
do i have any other alternative??
Hi, fear not my friend. Just boot into bootloader mode by pressing power key and volume down at the same time (If you press the center button also you will trigger a hard reset.) Then plug your phone on your PC. On the bottom of the phone screen you should see that the word serial changes for USB. Then just lauch any rom upgrade(either a stock rom or a custom one). The rom upgrade utility will the upgrade your phone like it normaly does when it's not bricked. It will just be a little longer.
you have hold the power volume down and press soft reset to enter boot loader
Hi
I have the same problem, I flashed my diamond with a bad flash, now it turns over, I try a hard reset, it works not so.
when I plug in the charger, the LED does not light.
what should I do, help me pls!
Here is the link where I downloaded the flash: ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Diamond/Users/Tobeychris/Tutorial/Diamond Unlocker.rar
Note: This is a re-post from the Verizon HTC forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533042)
I just rooted and S-off my HTC via rumrunner.
No flash roms install or custom recovery installed.
I wanted to see if I still had CWM from my last root (I returned to stock via http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...highlight=s-on.
So I went into the bootloader or fastboot (I don't remember) and hit recovery. This did not send me to a CWM, but it appeared to be the stock version of recovery. The process took too long (I know impatient) so I turned it off via power button + volume down.
Now I come to you in need, my phone is constantly turning off/on only displaying the green htc text, no red text, then pausing for 8 seconds, then off again to black screen. The whole process lasts 12 seconds, and this had been going on for about 10-15 min atm.
Plugging it in, my computer does not have the time to recognize it with adb, or fastboot.
I cannot use the power button + volume down to go into bootloader, and pressing the power button does nothing.
Please help me.
So here's the update.
Screen is now black, meaning the boot up/down process has stopped.
I have tried these:
A. Hold down the volume down + power button for 20+ seconds.
B. Hold down the volume up + volume down + power button for 20+ seconds and let up on the volume up button when screen goes black.
These two methods results in a single boot up to green HTC text then black screen.
I suspect the device has lost most of its power. Tried it for a third time, the device is now unresponsive and remains at black screen.
Now I plugged the usb cable connected to the power adapter.
The device enters the aforementioned continuous boot loop.
I tried method A and B, and there are no results, the boot loop continues. Now the device returns to the low or no powered state.
Now the device is connected to the computer. The same happens as if it were connected to the power adapter.
Method A and B still do not work.
Results: holding down buttons longer do nothing for me. The device seems to have lost power, but when charged, immediately the device enters the boot loop state.
Note: when doing method A and B the trials were done when screen is on and when screen is off, still no results.
Now the screen is off and not connected to anything. The problem still persists.

If I had to guess I would say your volume down is broken, else it would enter hboot
plug in the power and let it charge all day. then plug it to your pc and try to adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery the instant you here the pc usb ingage.
once you get to the bootloader try and fastboot erase cache followed by fastboot reboot
after your phone boots you should be able to go back to bootloader and reinstall custom recovery

I have a few questions/concerns to this.
1. When I charge it, I can't stop the phone from the continuous boot. I'm afraid that doing this all day might hurt the phone more.
2. Currently I have been charging it via computer (still boot loop), and the computer does not recognize it at all. I think there is really not enough time because the loop duration is only a few seconds.
3. Since the phone is connected to the computer, the commands adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot recovery does not work. Error: device not found.

So what is this method supposed to accomplish?
I did this and the phone stopped the continous boot. However when I tried to go to hboot it went back into the loop. I did this twice, and I'm able to stop the loop with the bright light method, but I don't know what to do from here.
Note: when plugging phone into computer, the loop starts again.

Plugging the phone into the adapter, the phone charges, but the boot loop occurs again.

the phone should not bootup with the power cord plugged in from an off state (are you turning the phone back on ?)
turn off phone by holding power 15 seconds under a bright light
plug phone into outlet (not PC) let charge till green light comes on (not Red)
hold volume down and power for 10 seconds ( you should be in hboot)
plug phone to PC choose fastboot hit power
your now in fastboot usb
from here you reflash recovery
fastboot erase cache and reboot recovery
if your still in bootloop I'm at a loss, and seems your hboot is corrupted I think you have to return your phone to Verizon or HTC.

Well I don't know if it is truly off, I'm just assuming it is.
But yes as soon as I plug the phone into the power adapter the red led flashes on, and the htc logo appears, then the loop continues.
I'll probably take it into Verizon tomorrow and update on what happens.
Update: Welp, I gave up. I'm going to get my replacement soon and I'll be turning it into Verizon. Really it's not that bad of a loss since I just wiped the phone, only thing is I lost my screen protector and carbon skin

sorry to hear that mate!!!
Phone was working OK, tried to install an app - "Insufficient Storage" message appeared, even though there is plenty of storage. Restarted to see if it would fix.
Upon restart, it booted directly to the bootloader (as if the down button was depressed), in bootloader, down button is not working, UP volume is working, but pressing UP, it goes DOWN. POWER is also not working.
Had to depress all three buttons to cut power, and can now only boot in SAFE MODE.
When booted in safe mode, volume UP works as designed, but volume DOWN is not responsive at all, POWER button is working in safe mode fine.....
When plugging it into PC in bootloader, cant get to fastboot (as I cannot use the power button), cant access fastboot using ADB, non responsive to PC.
Bootloader IS unlocked, but is S-ON, no root.

Hi
I've flashed (including kernel) my phone (C6903) TrinityVengeanceRaptorXHD_1.3-XperiaZ1 and TrinityVengeanceRaptorXHD-LB_UB-Patch-V1.4 taken from here. Unfortunately after it was done my phone was also done.
There is no reaction on 3 buttons pressed at the same time and i cant get into flashmode or fastboot mode. Holding power button makes a single vibration that is being repeated as long as the PB is being hold.
Can anyone help me bringing it back to life? Can it be done not leaving the room or do i need some special tools or send it to guys that has these?
Regards
Wizzy
Hi
I've managed to rescue it. I'm not sure how i did that os i will put here steps that i've taken. Firstly i could not enter fastboot or flashmode by PButton + Vol UP or Vol Down button. I've opened flash tool and connected phone while holding power down button but after unpacking flash image it prompted to unplug the device and plug it again with volume down button being hold but nothing was happening.
So here are steps:
1. I've connected it to the AC and tired holding different combination of buttons ( to see if the led is working ). VIsualy no response has been noticed.
2. While flash tool was still hanged on prompted dialog i've connected the phone to the PC while holding volume down button.
3. It started flashing process.
Thansk & Regards

Hello,
I wanted to flash TWRP into my Z1 C6903 so I downloaded latest TWRP img with official TWRP app and tried flashing it with RASH - Flash tool for Android. The tool stated that the flash was successful so I proceeded to reboot into recovery with the same app. The phone immediately shut down and wouldn't boot back up to neither Android or recovery. It would vibrate once when holding the power button, holding power + volume up would do nothing and phone would not be recognized by PC and even plunging it into wall would do nothing. I tried disconnecting the batter, plunging it to wall and connecting the battery back on which only made LED blink red and device still be not recognized by PC. Can someone help me how to unbrick my phone?
Thank you.

Magic keys for booting to recovery are either:
Hold Vol down and power
release Power when device vibrates, keep holding Vol down
hold Vol down until in recovery
Or:
Power on
if LED blinks press Vol up
If that shouldn't work there's fastboot (only with bootloader unlocked before) or sony flashtool. Just flash latest sony firmware and you should be fine.
There are enough threads concerning this

That doesn't work, the phone doesn't respond to any inputs from buttons.

Then Flashtool is your friend. You have to reflash the Sony Software.
