I wuz flashing it went to 99% and gave me an error so I reset and it wuz still stuck so I took out the battery and now it won't do anything when I plug it into the pc it says unrecognized usb device is there anyway to get the pc to recognize it so I can fix it any help is appreciated
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] omnicronx:
bootloader

Put it into the bootloader, the PC wont recognize the device until you flash it again, but you should be able to fix it. Get into the bootloader by pressing the power key and the voice commander button (looks like an old tape) at the same time and while holding, press the soft reset button on the bottom. This should put you into the bootloader mode, (the backlight does not light up, it just says bootloader and USB or SERIAL in faint writing depending if you have it attached to your PC)
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] martinl78:
invoking boot loader

Yes...I had a similar issue yesterday and thought to use the button sequence to force the bootloader. The other thing I had to do was get a flashlight and note the bootloader version of 2.05. I then ran the latest update tool from one of the kitchens and that allowed me to load the image of choice that I placed in the same folder.

Sadly enough i need to post this.. i have both the 6800 and the 6700, i did the same thing twice ... starting with the 6800, had no problem fixing that one, but the 6700 for some reason after a stock rom flash that didnt take completely its stuck saying Serial (top), 1.00 (bottom) , tried uni_bootloader, tried reflashing, for some reason it cannot catch the device, however, the drivers are loaded just fine, that much i know it worked before. any ideas on how to kick start this thing ( i have no memory card at all in it , havent been able to find a miniSD around here anywhere ). Any ideas would greatly help. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys.

At the moment I've got a HTC Elf. Its an ok phone but i want to go onto a price plan with a network and get a brand new phone along with it. So im now torn between the Diamond and the N95, both great smartphones but I need help! Which one is "better"? Im not too bothered about size (within reason) its more about the features and reliability that im looking for.

Also im moving to Australia in around 12 months time with my girlfriend so preferably I would want one that will work on the networks out there and is fairly easily SIM unlocked.

Any ideas??

All comments appreciated!

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hitman220881:
HTC Diamond of course .I had the N95 8Gb and didn't impress me much.Look at the specs and you'll see why is better the diamond.If you wait 1 month you can buy yourself the perfect phone ,Htc Pro.

Unlocking for the Diamond is free and you can do it in your home.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] htcfanboi:
i too have had an n95(not 8gb). in reality the n95 camera is better then the diamond..... but i wouldnt count diamonds camera out.... it is just as goood as the n95's 5mpx... mpx doesnt always matter
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] P996:
Difficult decision: regarding photo/video quality, the N95 8GB beats the HTC Diamond EASILY, no comparison possible since the N95 8GB plays in a different league.

Then, the differences start: if you have lots of WM programs you still want to use, go for the HTC Diamond. Otherwise, the N95 8GB also allows installing third party programs, unfortunately most of these(commercial) programs are IMEI "locked", so if you exchange your N95 8GB phone with a different Symbian phone, you usually can't immediately use these programs anymore with the new device.

Video playback capability is also much better with the N95 8GB, the Diamond still has issues I'm afraid.

The decision isn't easy but if you're using the phone mainly for your enjoyment and entertainment, I guess the N95 8GB is the better choice in my opinion.

The Diamond has a better support for exchange servers, etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Trem:
I have just switched from the N95 to the HTC Diamond and don't regret it.

Previously I used the XDAII and XDA Exec when they were released and loved the Windows Mobile experiance and big touch screens. I then switched to Nokia for a bit and tried the N73 then the N95 and I have decided I really don't like the Symbian OS and really missed the Windows Mobile software and apps.

Browsing on the HTC Diamond is a dream! The resolution of the screen means web pages look ace and easy to read. It is easy to zoom in and out with the scroll wheel and navigating the pages with a flick of a finger seems so natural.

The ONLY thing I miss about my N95 is that the Diamond doesn't have audio controls on the headset so you have to change the tracks manually on the phone. Although there is software that with the press of a button you can tell the phone to skip to the next track so I just need to get back into that again.

The only downside I have to the Diamond so far is the lack of expandable memory slot. A 4GB memory stick was enough on my N95 but with so much you can do with Windows Mobile phones it isn't enough for me on the Diamond. I will learn to live with it though.

My only other option before I got the Diamond was the Samsung I900 but although it has a bigger screen, it's lower resolution and the I900 doesn't have a scroll wheel so navigating web pages won't feel as enjoyable and easy. THe plus with the I900 though is 8GB or 16GB internal memory AND an expansion slot.

Sorry for the waffle - Final verdict for me is Diamond all the way. Especially with a community like this available. :)

I came from N95 8 gig to diamond. mate go fot it.:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] uniqueboy:
The Diamond is simply in a different league altogether.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sbcdk:
I have them both. Use the Diamond for fun, experimenting and the N95 8GB for when I need a stable device, which can do almost everything and do itquite well. To me the 8GB is the best device, but it's a bit too large.

I am planning on getting rid of one of them within the next few weeks, but right now I am not sure which...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] howzatcookie:
Yeah, I mean thats what its boiled down to for me at the moment. I love the sleekness of the Diamond and the new TouchFlo 3D stuff with the accelerometer.

However, I followed the Diamond closely ever since it was announced and to be honest I've heard such a range of comments about it and some of the bad stuff said about it gets me worried to some degree. For example I've read alot about the interface being "sluggish" and "un-responsive" and to be honest that ruins the touchscreen feature for me. Although many people say that the reason for the slow speed on some devices is because the people using them are not using them correctly.

As for the N95....I havn't really heard a bad note about it apart from the obvious complaint of its chunkiness and the fact that there isn't a cover for the camera. I also found out that the N95 does actually have a built in accelerometer that was apparently hidden by Nokia. So, to be honest my hand is slowly creeping over to the N95 at the moment for the following reasons:

- 5mp camera (that I've been told is alot more reliable and has more effects)

- 8GB of storage (probably alot more than I will use, but atleast its there if i do need it)

- Quad Band (to be honest I think you only need a Tri Band phone to work in Australia, but its likely I will be doing more travelling)

- Slide out Keypad (I dont dislike the touch keypad on my elf, but I guess I would be able to type quicker with more feedback)

- Chunk (I'll be honest, I'm a clumsy Oaf when it comes to holding anything electrical and small, and I have a bad feeling that perhaps Me and that glossy, shiny finish on the Diamond might not get on well)

- Nokia (frome experience with Nokias you can generally get signal anywhere....however I have yet to find an area where my elf doesnt have signal)

I dont want anyone to think that im casting out the idea of buying the Diamond....trust me im not!

Ahhh God this is gonna take me a while to figure out!

Thanks for your comments so far though guys! (sorry for the long reply here!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] teemupii:
If you want to use phone also for music/radio, then N95 is for you. Diamond as mp3 player is abysmal ( sound quality sucks really hard ), but on other tasks it is better ( except camera ).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sbcdk:
8GB of storage really isn't too much, 4GB is too little. I don't trust one single GPS app 100% so I always keep a backup program ready (TT7 + iGO8). 2 x map of europe = most of the 4GB storage is gone. Add a bit of music and that's it.

The 8GB storage on the N95 is nice, but sloooow. Such a relief to be working on the Diamond now, it is much faster.

MP3 on the Diamond has another problem: standby time. It drains the battery almost as fast as movie playback on the N95 8GB. Listen to one hour of music and the battery is almost guaranteed to be dead before you go to bed. HTC really need to take this seriously and do some ROM tweaking to save power, just as Nokia did on the N95.

But the size of the Diamond... If they were the same size, the choice would be easy for me - dump the Diamond. But this is where the Diamond really stands out. Just slide it into your pocket and forget it. No way you can do that with a N95 8GB.

The N95 (8GB) has been on the market for 18 months or so. So many updates, so much better a device now than when it first appeared. The Diamond is still only about one month old. Much can happen during the next few months, especially when it is backed up by a site as great as this. Xda developer is as good a 'feature' as any :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] howzatcookie:
I totally know where your all coming from. I guess its so hard to choose between the two because they are so different.

If all the functionality and features of the N95 could be squeezed into the Diamond with TouchFlo 3D over the top, I think we'd have the perfect phone that could shove the iPhone's head up its own ass where it belongs. (no offence to anyone with an iPhone).

However this isn't the case, so I guess were stuck for the moment. I really wanted to make this decision this weekend so I can buy my phone next week, im not sure thats gonna happen now :( .

I shall Ponder!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] howzatcookie:
Ok guys so...I had a think about this and while doing some other shopping today I popped into my local T-Mobile shop and got myself a brand new N95 8GB on a £30 price plan.

Now I know some of you...if not all...may be slightly confused with my decision; Why go for a chunky Nokia thats been out for 18 months over a sleek, sexy, new HTC Diamond?

Well to be honest, I did alot of research (in place of Work that I really should have been doing!) and I went around and got some brief hands on use of both handsets, asked friends who have either phone and just found out as much info as I could.

When I got hold of the Diamond for the second time, I was still impressed. It is a fantastic device, end of! But my hand felt empty....a strange use of words but thats how I felt...I couldnt get a half decent grip on the phone either, probably because of its sexy gloss finish.

When I held the N95 8GB (also for the second time) I was overwhelmed, first by its size, and then by just how much it can do. My hand was full, but comfortably. The weight and really stable slider reassured me as I played around with the different stuff available. After playing around for about 20 minutes the sales advisor showed me the quick program menu and told me about the "blue light" at the corner of each program icon that tells you that the program was running....every program had this light (because I used everyone) I was amazed to say the least especially after owning the Elf where you only have to open internet explorer for the phone to begin twitching.

I have to admit that I miss the touch screen a little bit...just being able to physically touch the icon you want is quite satisfying, but (from my experience) slow. On the N95 I fly through different menus in seconds.

Im sorry to be a slight dissapointment to anyone who was certain that I must get the Diamond, but I decided that speed and reliability is what I really want over style and functionality.

I know you guys know your stuff and I will have no shame in reporting any problems I have with the N95 so you can all give a huge "told you so", however I really doubt that situation will ever happen, this phone does basically everything....and does it well!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Akezzon:
I used to own a N95 as well.

I waited for it for months and months before it got released to get it.

for a month or two I worked overtime to be able to buy it as fast as possible.

Finally I had it.

AND I LOVED IT!

I felt the same as you. TONS of stuff it could do, the camera was soooo good. etc etc.

But the reality cought up on me 6 months later and the damn speakers began to get a distorted sound. I had it in for the same problem twice within the next 6 months, and on the third time they switched it ( even though I wanted my money back ) to a new device with a fresh warranty period.

It ran like a charm.

Two months after I got it....same problem. Speakers.

So I went down and started a war against the store I bought it from cause they didn't wanna pay me back.

But I won. Got my money and ran fast to the store on the otherside of the road to buy me an Diamond. And I do NOT regret it. Remember, I LOVED my B95. But even if the camera was a bit better and it played music a TAD better I still don't regret it.

I wanna give you a tip though. If you work or run around in areas with alot of dirt in the air. Like a workshop, put the damn thing in a plastic bag that you can seal, or you will most likely experience the same thing I have.

The hole in the "filter" infron of the side speakers are just to large and that allowes the speaker ( magnet ) to draw particles towards it.

But as far as I am concerned, I will probably never get a Nokia phone again.

Ever since they started with smartphones it has gone down hill imo. Even though N95 and N95 8gig sold pretty well.

Good luck with you new phone though. And Grats.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] asksaravana:
May be N95 and Daimond might come close in some features. But what makes daimond to rock is the interface. Its much better than what N95 has to provide. and Ofcourse N95 does not have touch screen. and Daimonds hardware is of cutting edge technology and specs
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Utking:
After the latest ROM update, i find my Diamond blazing fast, not unresponsive like when i first bought it:)

Also the diamond is now quad band, Htc magically pulled out the 850mhz band in the phone.

In case you didnt knew, the diamond also has a Tv-out! avaible with a special cable that is soon to come:D

My stephfather just went from N95 to the new iphone 3g, i told him to check out the diamond touch, but he didnt even take a look at it, guess who will be laughing when he gets the iphone^^

i had it for about a day and sold it on:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Menneisyys:
Agreed. Also add the phone - it's, in general, better (and allows for call recording, which is, as usual, missing from the Diamond.)

That is, if you

- need a phone with call recording,

- need multimedia playback, particularly via the built-in speakers,

- CAMERA (which the Diamond really sucks at)

- need LOTS of storage (another no-go for the Diamond)

go for the N95.

(I'd advise againts the 8GB version. Get the "simple" N95 instead.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Vic5870:
Hi Guys,

Let me join in too. Yes, you might have guessed by now. I am also an ex-N95 user. The N95 is one of those phones that I will have a hard time forgetting. As a matter of fact, I sold my N95 to buy the Diamond. I did regret about it in the earlier days when I first got the Diamond. Common problems like system lags, bugs, hang ups, etc made me wanna sell off my Diamond buy back my N95. But flashing the Diamond to new ROMS (cooked of course), the performance of the Diamond improved 100% ! I am beginning to fall in love with my Diamond again.

Regarding howzatcookie's decision to buy the N95 8GB, I know you will regret. Not because you missed out on the Diamond. It's because you are missing out on a better phone, N96, which is due out worldwide in a couple of months time !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] constc:

Let me give you a different point of view:

- if you want to use the device more as computer then use HTC TD, else N95
