Help i think i bricked my phone - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

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?

try the hard reset method remember hold down to the vol down and center buttons when u poke the red reset and hold it there for around 3sec

My kaiser died after flash :(

Hi. I tried to flash my kaiser to new Dutty's wm 6.1 rom (had Dutty's v3 before so i had hardSPL) and after the rom update process completed my kaiser died , screen is always black no matter i connect it to charger or push power, is there any possibility to bring my phone back 2 life?
Have you taken the battery out?
Have you tried flashing from SD card?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158&highlight=flash+from+card
Worked for mine when i bricked it.
i have taken battery out , it wont help. also flashing from sd card works only when u can actually power on the device and i cant do it. name of my rom wasnt RUU_signed.nbh it was : Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19716_1.64.08.21.nbh maybe thats the reason of error
Well did you try the special key sequence to try to turn it on?
special key sequence? U mean both softkeys and stylus into reset hole?
Can you get it to the HSPL screen?
hold camera button and stylus into reset hole?
If you can to there you can reflash it using the sc card method.
3. Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Power and Camera buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears. (taken from Wiki)

not the soft keys
thanx but it wont work, if i could enter bootloader i would just reflash the rom, but i cant get my phone on, screen is all the time black. if i plug in a charger there is no charging led too.
Ok, so your saying you tried it and it doesn't work?
im saying this doesnt work because my phone is totally dead. i cant get any response, it just wont turn on.
ok I'm taking it that you didn't try that sequence because you won't say that you tried it.
Hell no he/she ain't tried it. Probably has no idea what you are telling him to do.
Well Belizibub told him, I just started reading between the lines and noticed that he never admitted to trying it.
I love your avatar Tater.
can't all read, he can't turn it on, so how is he suppose to enter the bootloader or flash it from the sd card.
how come i try to enter bootloader , the phone is D E A D, it doesnt respond on any key cominations. i cant see even blank screen, nothing, it just wont turn on.
take the battery out and plug it into the charger, if a red light comes on thats a good thing if not then you probably have whats known as a "bricked kaiser" and sent it in for repairs or go buy a new one and save that one for parts.

LOL, not even worth it.
So let me ask this, Why was this thread started? Was someone seeking help? Has someone provided the possibility of help? Do you think that the devils friend didn't understand that to this requester of help, that his phone appeared to be dead? Or is it possible the Devils right hand man knows something that the requester of help doesn't know and kindly attempted to share it with him, just to have the secret unlock code ignored.
Try up up down down left right left right a b select start.
That will fix your phone.
ps, what I'm getting at is if you haven't tried it then you need to try it. The special key config could possibly turn the phone on for you.
OK, now I see this same conversation going on in 2 different forums by the same person. Here and in Dutty's latest 6.1 release.
I noticed you are an Orange user. I have seen Multiple Orange users trying to flash radios to their phone and locking them up. I suggest looking/searching for one of those threads and see if they have a solution.

I know this is a abiouse question but I have to ask, mate.. You are not running flat on batteries? If you havent flashed youre device, and it wount boot and you got power on it you should check youre waranty on the device. Try to charge it for 10 minuts or so (check that you have charging light on) then try to start it again.
I understand you correctly that you havent HardSPL youre device at all or?

just be sure u are doing the hardreset right. Some guys had problems, cause they had big fonger and they were pushing not just the soft buttons but also a buttons that are around them.
Hold these two soft buttons, then stick the stylus to the hole and hold it there antil a white screen appears where is the message shown. Then push the green phine button.

Similar problem, does your kaiser reboot continuosly or the screen just flashes.
Your best bet is to read the whole thread, try to learn something about mtty and contact gsleon.

Dead Diamond... :(

Hey Folks,
well I've experienced a very bad problem. When I started to change my ROM again, my whole device hang up, nothing happened any more. No chance to do a Hard or Soft Reset, the Led-Ring does not even light up anymore when I plug in the USB. Neither via Notebook nore via outlet. I don't know whatelse to do, hopefully it's not dead...
Thx for all the answers and sry for my bad english...^^
can you enter in bootloader mode? if you can, it's everything ok.
Remove the battery for 30 seconds then replace it and see if it will then respond to any of the following... on switch/usb cable/bootloader mode/hard reset.
Well... the Diamond doesn't respond to anything... It isn't even recognised by Windows...
phr3n1c can you enter in bootloader mode with it? pressing volume down (on the left side) and reset in the same time, and keep holding untill 3 colour screen appears.
Nothing happens... OMG i could start crying...
WTF! If don't enter even in bootloader, I only can say that its totally bricked. Sorry
How could this happen? I just tried to install juices RoM, then it said that this isn't the right ROM for my Device, turned off the screen and.... nothing...
So there's no way for me to get this Diamond working again... I just got it for 3 weeks... 469€... mmh...
Keep trying to get bootloader mode...its very fiddely....
also try and charge your battery...was it at full charge before?

Don't give up hope just yet, I've seen a few people on here that thought they bricked their Diamond but a few of the major contributors of the forum were able to work them out of it. Not saying it's a guarantee of course, but definitely a possibility.
2nd what the guy above me said, just hold volume down and the power button and try to get to bootloader mode... You should really be able to get to this, and once you can you'll be all set.
So the best thing for me is to leave this Thread here and wait for some answers I can try out...
Well... I use to read in this board since February and I always found all the answers to my questions...
This is the fact y this is my first post as well^^...
so i think i'll leave my xda alone 4 a while...^^ thx for all answers, upcoming and read...
mmh.. so there's nobody who's got any idea... thought more people could help me... mmh...

That is NOT the way to get into bootloader mode, if you have been trying that then there is no way you will enter the tri-coloured screen,
You need to press the power button as well as the volume down button along with the reset button to get into bootloader mode.
1) Take of the back cover of your diamond
2) Take out the stylus, notice a red dot in the bottom left corner? thats the reset button
3) Get your stylus ready to press the red reset button, but don't press it yet
4) Press and hold the POWER button and the VOLUME DOWN button, as well as holding down and pressing the reset button
5) After 3 seconds, let go of the red reset button but KEEP holding down and pressing the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons
6) Once the tri-coloured screen (bootloader) comes up, you can let go of the buttons.
That is how to get into bootloader mode, in depth. If that is not working that you have damaged your device quite a fair bit.
Remember if you didn't try pressing the power button to get into bootloader mode before, then there would have been no way you could have gotten into bootloader - try this method now and you might (hopefully) be flashing a new ROM in a matter of minutes.
Good Luck!
what can i say..? nothing happens... don't know whatelse to do now... but... can the ROM really damage the diamond that far that it doesn't even light the LED ring under the screen if i plug it into the USB...
damned... whatelse to do now...? sell it on ebay?

Another reason why I stay away from eBay.
Did unplug the usb cable, then pull out the battery ?
Hhmm.. I wouldn't have thought a ROM could cause so much damage.
You could try this..
1) Leave the battery out for 30 minutes
2) Put it back in along with the charger
3) Try to turn on the device (hold the power button down for 15 seconds)
Selling the device on eBay should be your last resort. Try everything you can to get the device working for now.

DO YOU FLASHED HARDSPL FIRST ? AND DOES YOUR DIAMOND IS UNDER GUARANTEE ? IF NOT, YOU CAN THROW AWAY.
Hold Volume down, the Enter Button and then press Reset... Hold the Volume down and the Enter button until the three colour screen appears... Try it....
Look here:
http://blog.jannewap.ws/2008/07/25/htc-diamond-reset-xda-diamond-hard-reset-anleitung/
yes, i flashed hardspl first... i dont know if it is still under guarantee if i bricked... doesn't another rom make your guarantee end? so nothing else to do...
PS: if i would have sold it on ebay, i had declared it as broken... just by the way... not to have any people think wrong things about me...

So I was texting on my Fuze and it froze. I hard reset it and now it won't start back up. Im using the latest Mercury Energy rom. It starts up, goes to where it plays the start-up sound and says "Energy Rom 3.0" and then stops. I have the touch response installed on it and it still vibrates when u touch it, so I dont think its too bad. Please Help! Thanx

tryed holding the buttons and it didnt do anything.
He's advising that you hard reset. That's what I'd do, too, but if it continues to hang, flash a stock rom. You may need to go into bootloader manually if you do it over usb.
Fixed it please delete.
hard rest verizon phones
i think that verizon has ****ed the customers when i comes to hard resetting i think that they disable the option when you are try to do it with the whole volume button power button the reset thing i have gone through two phones because of this but now i found program that was leaked and it does it for me you go into that mode where you get that multiple colored screen and then once you plug you phone into your computer and then you run it and it hard resets the phone
that would be great if you can share how do you it with us, so any body have this problem can be fixed without asking too much.

i think u should charge your battery. and then put a kovsimg.nbh file on sd card.
after that install the rom by pressing the volume button down and power button.

you know those leds on the sides of the phone try charging the phone and see if they glow if they do then your screen may be broken or your flex cable has worn off i'll put my money on the flex cable if so then you should order a new one and replace it or take it to a service centre
Info about the way you've got to the trouble looks little... not clear.

How did you press space bar if "R" doesn't work?
Then... If you can get into bootloader mode, you can reflash any rom you like... you have hard-spl installed, have you?
You can use few different combinations to get into bootloader -"power"+"vol-down" OR "power"+"cam button". As you have vibration on the start, I assume your bootloader isn't broken, so you should be able to do these operations.
Charging should work as well, even if you don't see any sign of charging.

Yeah i can charge,
Led at the side does glow, when i call it will blink and vibrate, but i cant pick up, no buttons is working on the front screen, dont know about th qwerty..
i guess flex is crappy.. but if flex is crappy, the screen will light up but remain blank? the led will glow?

if you don't see SE logo on the start and backlight is turned on, if you don't see bootloader tricolor... looks really like it is flex (double check - I am not so advanced in hardware repairing).
Yes, leds should glow in that case.
