Bricked phone installing rom, help? - Touch Diamond CDMA

Hello xda, so yet another person took the plunge into flashing a rom. Im not sure what I did that was wrong because the install went perfect, it made it to 100 percent and restarted my phone like it was all well and good, but it wasnt. It just sits there perpetually restarting. Believe me I have been looking unfortunately, I didn't seem to find anything that helped. From the threads I read it sounds like I can just go to the boot loader, plug in my phone, then place a stock rom from alltel on my internal storage and flash that, or maybe I was mistaken with what I read. Either way I can't get that to work I can get to the boot loader and hook it to my computer, and the computer will say something connected, but it doesn't show up as a removable storage device or anything. This is the rom I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553844 this is also the tutorial that I used http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
Please, please give me some help.

me too
Anyone have any ideas? I tried using the HardSPL from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839
and I tried may different ROMs with the same problem... So i don't think it's the ROM.
Thanks in advance!

i was able to 'unbrick' my phone...
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. load the bootloader
3. plug the phone to the computer
4. go to sprint.com and get the Rom from them and just use their exe
now it's back to WM6.1
So i guess the problem is that there's not WM6.5 ROMs for CDMA diamonds yet?

I don't know how offical it is, but I have loaded WM6.5 on my Sprint CDMA Diamond just fine.

Alright thank you that worked, I thought I was going to have a diamond shaped paper weight for a minute. I do believe that there are indeed 6.5 roms for the diamond, but I have no idea why this rom didn't work. Thanks for the help.

so I got mine to work with a wm6.5 rom.
this is what i did:
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. then get this wm6.5 ROM: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084
this ROM is awesome!
Hope that works for you too.

You Bricked your Diamond
My Diamond bricked the other day and it wouldn't load or allow me to do a reset on it. I found a way to manually hard reset the device.
Hold the power button, the down volume button, and the enter button(the circled button) at the same time (continue to hold) then press the reset button. countinue holding the three buttons until a white screen comes up telling you to press volume up to reset device to original settings. press the volume up and it will reset. Now set up your device and immediately active sync and put a new Rom on the device

Yes thats pretty important to know when you are messing with roms, also make sure to note the boot loader screen which is reset, back, vol down, and power. That is how I fixed my phone. This tutorial is a nice tutorial to look over. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

www.everythingdiamond.info/ this site has cdma versions theyre pretty good

Yeah I actually got my latest rom from there, thanks for all the help everyone you were a god send

check everythingdiamond.info or ppcgeeks.com . Both of those sites have stickies dealing with this and all the roms you'll find there are for cdma phones.

Do you have a copy of the Wizard Love rom? If so, install that in bootloader mode. Remember to plug your USB cable into the phone.

I would suggest flashing back to a carrier aku2.x rom and ensure that your phone will come up properly on it. If it does then good, it's most likely not a serious hardware issue, if not then you might be out of luck.
looks like a brick to me..
So sorry m8.
I hope you can revive it !
Had similar problem with the Super rom.What worked for me was taking a back up on the memory card and reflashing from the card.Read the Wiki about details on how to go about it.
Try to flash the latest t-mobile ROM found on their site if all the suggested doesnt work..
@ DRIVEX
Try Hard resetting via the harware Buttons Softreset hole method. Here is how:
----------------------------------
While holding the Comm manager button and the Voice Command button, push in on the soft reset button (reset hole) once. Keep holding the Comm Manager and Voice Command buttons until there is a screen asking you if you want to clear all data. To commit, press the green send key.
Hope it helps.

Hard to help someone that hasn't told us anything.
From the sounds of it your battery has died. Until you get a good rom on there, the phone will NOT charge. You will need to find someone with a similar phone (or maybe go to your cell provider) and get them to charge the battery at this point. Once you have the battery charged then try following this step by step:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
If that doesn't work, then come back and tell us more about what happened, what your IPL/SPL is, what type of phone you have, if its G3 or G4, etc... People here will help, but not without information.

Not that I know of. Thats one of the reasons its recommended you start with a battery that has over 50% charge (personally I never flash with less than 100% in case something goes wrong). Not saying you didn't do that, but you appear to now be trying to work with a dead (or almost dead) battery, and that will only make things worse if you try to flash and then the battery dies in the middle (maybe not worse, but it sure won't help).
Like I said, you'll need to find someone with a similar phone or see if your local cell provider office will let you charge it (or swap it for a charged battery).
I got my ppc back up and I tried reflashing again and I have almost the same issue. It says format is successfull but then it gets stuck at the blue screen.

My htc starts up, but freeze during boot up

First of all i do not know where to post this. I have had a HTC wizard for over a year now. it has been working fine after cooking up wm6 and installing it for 6 months. today when i restartet the phone pulling the battery out and inserting it, the phone starts up, then the blue screen comes and shows ispl etc, then windows image shows, there it stops. i do not know what to do. It has been a while since i did pocket pc modding now, and i have forgotten all about it.

Maybe something crashed the OS software.
Hope you have a system backup, or at least PIM backup using ActiveSync because what you need now is a hard reset.
Punching the reset hole (next to IR window) while holding CommManager+VoiceDial, then press "Dial" as prompted.
how do i hard reset my dash/s620?
i have tried hard reset
i have hard reset the phone. i do not have any backup in active sync. and i dont think that matters. because my phone does not connect to activesync since it does not start up. and in the three colored boot mode the phone is not detected by active sync. when i hard reset the phone it just came to the same point and freezed
If you didn't touch the ROM for long time, then it is probably a hardware failure...

READ YOUR PHONE MANUAL, and THIS IS NOT DASH FORUM.
hard to believe
First off, thanks for fast responses.
It cant be hardware(Not as a total theory of course) or likely not, because phone was not touched by water, shock, bumb fire or anything. it laid on my desk, worked, laid on my dask more, freezed. and it has been working for 6 months with wm6. is there anyway i can flash something into it. without activesync, but in the three colored boot mode?
Get into bootloader, plug in your usb cord and give it a minute...ON THE TRI-COLORED SCREEN do you see in the bottom corner "USB"??? If yes, you are OK. Get a stock rom such as the Tmo 2.26 and flash that. If you do not see "USB" in the bottom corner then as far as I know, you are fukd.
For more info on issues, read the linky in my siggy. There is valuable info there that may help with other ways to flash a rom.
Good luck.
i see usb
thanks, guess i am not fked then
Only problem is i have forgotten all about this now, and that i am sorry for.
But i have to ask you, as from norway wich stock rom to choose, what is stock rom, and when you say bootloader, is that an expression for the three colored screen or is that a program, that can flash in three colored screen? Thanks, i do not expect an answer on this noob questions, but i would really apreciate answers.
stock rom & bootloader
stock rom is the rom which comes with ur phone while purchasing it.. u can call it base rom..bootloader is tri-coloured screen which is bios for ppc if it gets fked then phone is bricked..next time if u cant boot up, then u can flash ur phone with the help of bootloader...
that was fast
thanks, but i do not think i have the rom that came with my mobile phone:/
and i do not know how to flash from tri colored screen, because all the files i have tried cant detect my phone.
ipl adn spl are 3.08 if that helps anything.
that was fast
is there an app you use to flash from tri colored
there is no need for any app, just connect ur phone to tri-coloured screen..u willl see usb in down left corner.. then ur phone is connected then run RUU utility.. if any problem comes i am online at hotmail... [email protected]
Can you power down? If not, remove battery for 1 seconds, the re-insert. Then press all at once the camera, comm and power buttons (or I believe you can also press the camera and soft reset. It is in the wiki explaining, as are some stock roms. Use any stock rom if you plan on flashing a cooked rom. The Tmo 2.26 is a decent stock rom, there is a 3.08 on the forum somewhere that you can also use. Get a stock rom. Get into the tri-colored bootloader. Look to see if it says usb in the bottom corner. If yes, connect your cable and using the ruu from the stock rom, flash your phone. Once a stock rom is installed follow the directions to cid/sim unlock your phone. Once unlocked, you can flash any cooked rom.
PS- I am assuming you have a G3 phone.
PPS- reading the wiki and the stickies are very helpful. Give them a try.
im sutch a noob
yeh i got same problem... i will try a hard reset but im at school... hope it fixes it... i got imate jasjam... BETTER WORK OR I WILL KILL MY BROTHER 4 STUFFING AROUND WITH MY PHONE

just bought tilt but have some issues

hi if anyone can help thatll be greatly appreciated. I just bought an att tilt 8925, and well this is what happens. it boots up and goes into windows screen and then as soon as it goes into the main screen it vibrates a whole bunch of times and then just shuts down. can't get it to active sync to reflash because it wont stay on after it goes into the main screen any help would be appreciated!
Where did you buy this Tilt? Did this happen straight out of the box or have you already flashed it?
Search on how to manually get into boot loader and re flash; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383904
i bought it like that. the phone is in great condition. all features seem to work but i think the guy did a hackjob on the rom so it's not working right and im all new to trying to get it to work.
Since it's new... start with some baseline work.
1. Do a hard reset.
2. Record ROM and radio versions
3. If it comes up... consider loading the ROM of your choice.
I see you're new here so PLEASE read my signature.
Thanks,
Your best bet would be, download the OEM official Tilt ROM, Manually get into boot loader, then flash it. There are also other methods of flashing such as from your Sd card. The previous mentioned link has allot of answers.
okay i just tried entering bootloader but it wont get into the screen. i hold the camera buton and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of th phone but it just boots up normally. anything im doing wrong?

My HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) was dead :(

Hello guys!
Sorry my bad english!
I installed to WM6.5 ROM in my HTC phone in february. I used may months, all day...
And yesterday i switch on my phone, put on my desk, and today, i see , that the screen get white. It dont do nothing, just get white. I restart the phone many times, and remove the battery, the phone do this: i enter my security password (i locked my phone) and then its go to white screen, and dont do nothing. And if i swich on my phone, and dont do nothing, its just go to frozen...
A dont install nothing my phone since many weeks.
Maybe, the WM6.5 ROM was out of date???
I dont know, but if i connected my phone to PC, the PC isnt known my device...
I dont do nothing, my phone was dead, and im a big trouble (((((((((((
PLEASE HELP ME!
did u try to hard reset it?
can u still enter bootloader mode?
if u can still enter bootloader then try flash another ROM
I think there is a timebomb in the Rom you are using.
Go to bootloader menu, connect to usb, and try to flash an other rom by installing via Windows.
okay, but what is the hard reset? Is that a red button on my device back?
if it is, i try this, but it isnt solve my problem.
and how i can go the bootloader menu?
thank a lot.
Don't worry...just try the hardreset:
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
If this does not work...just flash another rom...it really seems to have this timebomb issue...you don't have a hardware problem...it's just the software.
here's a video instruction for the hard reset:

thanks a lot, the hard reset worked!!!

i will flash a new 6.5 ROM.

THANKS!!
Impressed by the support
Hello,
I was watching this thread continously and whenever i try to jump in to help you with tips about flashing, someone would have done it already.
I feel somewhat releived to know that your Kit(d) is back on track.
I like this forum very much not just for the solutions but also for the people's attitude.

Boot problem!

I think I made a stupid mistake...
I went to consult this thread (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600340), just being curious you know, and when I saw the Windows 7 style Boot Logo, I downloaded and installed it.
The problem : The cab was made for the HTC Prophet... and now my Kaiser doesn't get past the ROM's 1st boot image and reboots before dsiplaying the radio version #.
Is my phone bricked?
if it was a cab file that you applied by running from within the phone via file explorer, then it is highly unlikely that your phone is bricked. however, if it won't boot, kiss your data goodbye and give the phone a hard reset. that should fix it but you'll have to set up all your programs and restore your contacts and messages from backups (assuming you follow the practice of making regular backups of critical data).
if you applied something by "flashing" it to your device (usually using a special procedure that may involve your pc), then you may have truly bricked your device.
Thanks ASCIIker.
I tried doing a hard reset. It now goes so far as displaying the version numbers but stills reboots in a loop right after.
Any other ideas?
I guess if I can't boot that means I can't reflash either.

can you enter boot loader mode? simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus.
if you can then flash your carrier latest rom .
just to clarify, you can flash as long as you can enter boot loader.
and just to correct what faria said, the correct way to enter boot loader is to hold down the CAMERA button while doing soft reset...keep the camera button pressed until you see a screen with red, green, blue, and white stripes. this is the boot loader screen.
once here, you can flash any ROM, etc.
Thanks faria. I had fun pressing Power, OK and trying to do a hard reset. Kinda like playing Kaiser Twister!
Power and Camera did work though. I think that's what you do when you flash from the microSD right?
I'm telling you guys I am so f'in relieved right now as I'm loading my latest factory ROM from archives. So thanks again to both of you.
Back from the dead and to trying out ROMs in a bit then. How's KaiserTouch compared to HyperDragon IV? And is Rhodium 6.5 or less?
Actually happy 1st day rodhium faria v1. It looks well worth giving it a shot!
