i've formated my HTC Diamond but now i cant flash any ROM on it cause i cant sync it with the PC

what should i do? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sucro:
In connection settings in active sync, check "allow usb connections" , cause maybe you forgot to do this, after formating!

Why didn't you flash rom, imidiately after formating, with rom you whished! Or you can go in bootloader mode , press VOL UP + ENTER + RESET (after 2-3 seconds, release button reset, and you'll see 4 colors , and you are in bootloader mode) and from booteloader mode, you can flash rom what you wish!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DarkArchAngel:
Well... i alredy tryed a lots of times ActiveSync doesn't connect with PC in bootloader mode :(

mtty is the only that can connect to my HTC I wonder if i can flash a ROM from mtty cause theres no orther way to sync it with the PC
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sucro:
Just run rom which you want, and run active sync manually, and in connection settings check allow usb connection, and when you run rom wizard, it will automatically start flashing, don't warry if active sync doesn't notify that your device is connected, cause in flashing, active sync icon disappear, when flashin start...

Just run rom shaks, cloudy or what you want, and continue! Disconnect your device , press VOL UP + ENTER + RESET (release reset after 3-4 sec) , start active sync, and after connect your device , when it is in bootloader mode, dooesn't matter if AS doesn't notify that device is connected, and run ROM wizard, shak4.20 or what you want, and just follow wizard!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DarkArchAngel:
Yep... u were right some RUU can flash a ROM in bootloader mode but now i have another problem :p

Error 262 :mad:

when the RUU start flashing a ROM the 0% from the both Diamond and PC dosen't increase and after 10-15 min the RUU give an update error.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c_shekhar:
All the RUU.exe can flash ROM in bootloader..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DarkArchAngel:
But why the percent dosen't increase? :confused:

It stop at 0% and nothing happening...... only after 15 min the RUU give an error and the Diamond keep displaying the empty bar and 0% until i take off the battery :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sucro:
use CUSTOM_RUU find it on forum for diamond here, Olipro added it somewhere, use search button...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DarkArchAngel:
thats what im using

but i can't flash any ROM... the RUU start to flash and there apear a bar and a percent 0% but the number dosen't increase

Do you need to uncheck the usb when using Vista aswell?

thanks,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sucro:
normally process is same for all os, but for vista use MTTY-vista
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kwambewright:
write process failed!

I keep getting this message when trying to complete this process. Using windows 7and WMDC. What am i doing wrong? Am I supposed to go to the cmd prompt of windows and type in CMD>task 29 or just do that in MTTY-Vista?

btw: win7 is basically win vista.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sucro:
in mtty-vista

type task 29 and press enter
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] martino_0:

I read the completet threat. Can someone using Mtty-Vista please post a screenshot of where to enter "task 29" please
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] martino_0:

- deactiveted USB in WMDC / Win 7

- entered bootloader on my Diamond

- plugged USB cable

- Diamond say USB connected in Bootloader

- start MTTY-Vista version

- select USB from port drop-down

- new dialog screen opens with text prompt ("Multi Port/USB MTTY Ver Test Only - USB Connection")

HOW TO CONNECT BY USB AND REPAIR MEMORY WITH MTTY ON A WINDOWS 7 RC PC

Thanks to I2TP for providing the information that actually worked for me.

You'll find the USB drivers to use in Windows 7 (32 and 64Bit) : I'm using "Microsoft USB Sync" even though Windows 7 said it could be incompatible.

here's how it worked to repair memory with MTTY on a Windows 7 PC:

Update USB drivers:

Run MTTY (not the Vista test version but the original XP Version (mtty1_1_.42_538)

this was a really usefull thread
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Krzysiec:
Any of those links doesnt work ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slovoflud:
just correct the links

i still don't get it. Should it say USB or Serial on the phone?

doesn't work either way. might as well get a G1 now...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] martino_0:
Links are corrected. Sorry.

Once you have installed the correct USB drivers on your PC you deactivate USB connection in WMDC, connect your device in bootloader mode via USB: your phone should display USB then. Then start MTTY (XP version) and select USB from dropdown.

just follow the threads above.

maybe helpfull, too: I also updated/changed my HardSPL to another version upfront: from bootloader mode. got that advise from a friend.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] solfree:
and wich hspl use??

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slovoflud:
Thanks! I've acually fixed the problem by switching to dev. edition HardSPL.

I've waisted half a day reding and experimenting but still couldn't launch task 29 command under Vista.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] martino_0:
so there seems to be a difference between Vista and Windows 7 (RC). Did you try the Vista MTTY Version?

(My instructions above are focussed on Win 7)

It took me 2 days (and nights) to get it fixed. :( but now it's working great :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] martino_0:
try ANY other version
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rvmax:
Hi

I've the same problem, 1 block FAIL during task 29.

Someone find a solution, it's very important !!

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slovoflud:
yep I've tried both versions. no luck. Didn't have a chance to try it on Win7 as I was at work...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Urannous:
I'm having problems too,i'm using win7 (build 7201),tried the mtty-vista,unchecked usb connections from wmdc,managed to get usb as an option in mtty,typed CMD task29 and no matter what i do i just get a write operation failed.Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?By the way i can't change the usb drivers as described before with the xp version,windows just won't recognise anything.I'm getting a bit desperate since my problem is that when i tried to flash the newest official rom,after going 100% i just gives me error [207] and i'm just stuck in the bootloader now...

EDIT: ok that's weird...while i was typing all these,i tried to flash a custom rom for a change and like magic it worked nice and easy...

Strange Problems

Hi there guys

For the last year i'v flashed many roms and had no probs with any of them, But last week I started porting the Native 6.5 Kernel:D, And for the first time i started Flashing from "internal storage" And all the strange things in this post started happening ???, I thought that all these problems were with the 6.5 Kernel:( Gave up on 6.5 kernel and deleted Kitchen,:rolleyes: Dropped back to my old kitchen and still had probles:confused:

So now i have to start all over again:mad:

SPL-1.40.Olinex

So could this problem have something to do with hardSPL !!?? :confused:

Thanks for your post c_shekhar, wish i'd found it sooner

regards

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sucro:
It's possible, try with hspl 1.93 unsigned olipro
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] swampy395:

You saved my diamond ! :p:p:p:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] BumAround:
Do you mean just the phone, or also the storage card (SDHC microSD attached to the phone, that is)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nirak:
Nope, not your storage card/internal storage (4Gb), just the main memory which carries the ROM and the other usual stuff.

which rom you are using for flashing?

can you open start-menu?

Dear All,

I am now reading over the forums for about three days. But still I dont have a solution for my sync problem. The problem is that after I flashed my kaiser it won't connect to activesync. But the STRAINGE think is, that when I put it in bootloader the computer does regonize my kaiser, and I can flash another rom on it.

I also got a MDA touch and when I am connecting that one to my computer, everything workes fine. So the problem is not in the computer. What did i already tried:

- turned off the advance USB settings on the kaiser

- reinstalled my whole WINXP and try to connect

- reflash in VISTA and WINXP

- Put the original ROM back

- check if the repplog is in the Windows file

- Put the firewall off

- Googled on every thinkeble words

So i think that the problem is in te phone, because my touch is normaly connecting. The only thing my kaiser is doing now is when i put in on the computer is recharing.

Does sombody have the knowlegde of getting my kaiser back to sync? It will let me sleep a lot better!

Regards,

Gertjan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] duke911:
usually truing off the option (Enable faster data synchronization) fix the problem...

this is the first time time I read about such problem that was not fixed by all you did...

there are some other things, they may not work, but they're worth of a try:

1. try flashing different radio, not only ROM

2. try changing the USB port on your PC

3. did you try syncing with another PC?

I had a similar problem with one of my PCs, it used to sync with no problems, then it stopped! the other PC i have syncs with no problems

all I did is disable the option (Enable faster data synchronization) in USB to PC in the connections tab

I really hope you'll find a fix soon

:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jorra:
Do you use Dashwire? I have to kill the Dashwire process to make sync work... Just wondering?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Fingerlickin:
If I understand your post correctly, you have 2 active sync devices. Are they by any chance named the same? I had that problem with my HP 3955 which is nothing more than a universal remote now but I charge it with my computer and it connects to active sync. Anyways long story short I named my phone Ron_Mobile when I got it which is what my PDA is named and I had active sync problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gertjan813:
Sorry didnt help

Thank you for your reply regarding my problem, but I changed the name and reset my device. After that he is still recharging and not connecting.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gertjan813:
No Succes

Thank you for your reply, i did all the things you suggested. And still nothing changed. I flashed a diffirent radio, changed the USB port and I alrady tried to sync with serveral other computers. The strainge thing was, that after a reflash of the ROM of Athene (that I use mostly) I suddenly get this problem, and before I didn't have this problem at all...

well hope that someone else can help me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gertjan813:
partly solved....

Dashwire? didn't know the existing of this service, so i searched it up. This service is a very good alternative for the time that I dont have activesync to work. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] itzstevo:
you might want to reflash the rom. i had the same problem after using -G- series 4 for almost 3-5 months, all of a sudden activsync stop working for some odd reason. so i reflashed with the latest -g- rom and now everything works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gertjan813:
I installed the latest Garmin but still no succes.. :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] david2327:
I had the same problem. It happened when I flashed one of g-roms on my vista laptop. what I did was uninstalled and then reinstalled wmdc because apparently what had happened is something messed up with the drivers that recognizes my phone. I also hardreset just for good measure. I hope that helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gertjan813:
Nope didnt work, also tried on other computers and reflashed couple of times...:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] sraksinn:
Same problem

Yes, I had the same problem as you. Some ROM will do that and some will pass that ActiveSync with no problem. Personally, I had to go back to the ATT original ROM and ActiveSync works again. Strange, but true.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] parleyp:
I had the same issue a week ago...it ended up being the usb port on the phone...had to have it replaced. But--since you can still flash via usb, that probably isn't the problem.

I would uninstall active synch or mobile device center reboot and reinstall...then connect the device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Fingerlickin:
ok I had a strange problem last night with my wife's G1, it made me think of this thread. I solved her problem and I doubt you have the same problem but here goes anyways.

My wife just got a G1. I plugged it into my computer to load some MP3's on it for her since the G1 is supposed to act like a MicroSD card reader. It started charging but no USB connection was detected. It worked on her computer but not mine. After an hour or so I finally figured it out. The USB cable I use for my kaiser has a 3 foot USB extension on it. after using a different cable without an extension it worked. Try another USB cable.

P.S. "load some MP3's on it for her" HAHAHA I just wanted to play with her new toy!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gertjan813:
Broken?

Thanks for all the reply people, but still no succes :( Can the damn thing also just be broken??

i know how to assign the soft buttons, but how to make them launch the programs that are in the main menu>>programs ???
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I don't understand exactly what you mean. Do you want to assign different programs to the soft keys on the Today Screen? If you do, just get Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool and assign new programs to the two softkeys, and rename them for a nicer look. I hope that helps you.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nsandhu:
How long have you had your Diamond for and do you wish you had opted for something else? I'm just trying to gauge opinions of people who have owned the phone for a few months. Thanks.

I've owned mine for just 3 days so I'm still getting used to it....I think it's a terrible 'out of the box' product but it seems to improve with various add-ons. So far I've downloaded Diamond Tweak and IContacts.

My latest problem with it is that I'm encountering the notorious TomTom 'no maps found' error (Grrrr....this was never an issue on my old HTC device)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Davey101:
The Diamond is my first HTC or WinMo phone, I've owned it for 7 months and I don't regret it.

It's pretty slow at doing things and the battery life if terrible if you actually use the device, rather than leaving it in suspend mode with 3G coverage switched off. However, charge it at least once daily and it's livable with. :)

TF3D is crap too, get rid of that and it gets much better!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] RaptorRVL:
I have just sold my Diamond. I used it for about 6 months and could never get used to it's very slow speeds. Especially out of the box it was a huge dissapointment, although with a custom rom things did improve.

But still, the thing is just too slow in my opinion. Probably all due to the lovely Qualcomm chipset that's inside it. When you look at the specs (memory, mhz etc) it should fly, be awesome. But it just isn't.

I always compare to my old mda compact (qtek s100). When I used to run TomTom on that one it was smooth with good fps. Even on a device like the Diamond, years later, it runs like crap. And that is a bit dissapointing ofcourse.

Don't get me wrong, you get a lot in return. Nicer UI, VGA screen, much better touchscreen and a much much better looking phone. But in the speed department all of my HTC phones have been dissapointing.

(Yet still I buy them, they are too much fun. qtek s100, qtek s200, htc touch, touch cruise, diamond).

But for now, HTC will have to do without me :D.

I love my Fuze, I hate my Fuze

This article sums my feelings up very well:

http://www.mytodayscreen.com/i-hate-my-fuze-i-love-my-fuze/

I've never had so much fun hacking a device before, but at one and the same time I resent having to hack it into a proper phone in the first place.

I'm not getting rid of my Fuze any time soon, but with anyone shopping for a new phone I steer them away from it. I'm completely up front with them, and admit to them I've spent dozens of hours scouring message boards and web sites for hacks to get the phone to behave in a way in which I'm happy with.

Users should not have to hack a registry to change ANY of the settings I've wanted to tweak!!!

That felt good to get off my chest.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] THUDUK:
I do not go anywhere without my trusty diamond in my pocket, I have tried so many other phones/PDA's and this is the best, the smallest for what it can do.

Its also perfect for a walking GPS device with memory map.

Its a running GPS log, my music device, organiser, camera for meetings and quick memories, reading book, comic book, games, even acts as a spirit level, does practically everything I need, oh yes and its a phone too.

Choose the right ROM and the thing is so quick and responsive.

TF3D is brilliant, I am so used to it now I can't get on with anything else.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xavierdemon:
Simple answer no :) it just keeps getting better and better.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] VerusAmos:
I regret not!

But it seems like software is always ahead of the hardware. Before I had my branded Diamond I had the GloFiish X500+, so in comparison to that I'm very happy with my MDAIV.

But WinMo does helps to keep me using PPC's, it's a great platform to work with.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] okokur:
no!

and a comparative with old devices is like ... ach no need any words.

dont forgett, the devices are all at first a phone. all other functions wasnt the premiere function. something was good something cant be good.

i.e. old device open a webside with more speed than a new device.

but how you go to internet? by cable or by gms ($).

and if you are finished with scrolling left-to-right and back you have to scroll up and down. the new device uses wlan to go internet or umts and your scroll-action is minimizing by overview the complete internet-side.

but asking other people for feeling if buy or not buy ... hmmm, be carefull, that are only feelings and oppinnions.

i can say, that all devices (htc, nokia, apple) have good and not-good thinks. my buddy have apple. with standars he have no problems, after installation some progs the apple will be slowly and he do resets his devicxe many time like me. YOUR GUT FEELING IS NEEDED!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Supertrooper:
No regrets at all. Like stated above with the right custom rom, tweaks and apps this is everything I need in a phone/ppc.

And whats fun about getting a phone right out of the box that does everything you want? Heck, modding it to your likings is most the fun. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adempozhari:
after 2 years of using WinMob my diamond is the first one that people is asking "What is this?". I mean that has the greatest software (WinMob) and the best design.

What do you want more?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] basilrsa:
Hate it, but use it!

I have had a Diamond for about 6 months now, and only use it because of the size.

I prefer my TyTN II but it is just too bulky

I hate a touch screen keyboard and prefer the slide out of the TyTN II.

I also find the Diamond's volume very soft as compared to the TyTN II

But in any case this will be my last M$ Windows based device, until M$ issues a decent OS.

PS: The motherboard has already been replaced.
