Possibly, i really would suggest running throught the entire thread if you have a brick.

reinstall the drivers, using the ones i have posted, also use the MTTY i have posted.

also USE the exact commands i have posted (i.e. not "task 28", use "task 28 55aa")

then after the MTTY format, HARD-RESET your device then to clear anything else off, then in your case, flash from the PC not internal storage.

Personally i have never experienced (touch wood) these flashing problems, i have consistently flashed from internal storage and NEVER via USB.

personally this is where i think the problem resides, with leftover data from USB flashing logging up the devices.

as there are more "Bloated roms" (i.e. ones with loads of nice but useless software) this is also causing the problems.

having said that i use possibly the most bloated rom about, the NRGZ EnergyROM series!! i swap between this and the BSB, im more drawn to the BSB at the moment as there is more storage and ram free.

but as i said this is only my opinion and not verifiable facts! (i could be totally wrong!!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] epiphone:
MG, thanks for your replies... unfortunately I am not able to try the "task 28 55aa" now that I have booked my phone in :) This thread however, will no doubt be useful for more others in time to come!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Reb0rn:
Hmmm... the strange thing is that after ive had these problems i have to use MTTY as soon as i must flash another ROM then the one i already have in...

But as i said... no problems as long as it works :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sb0611:
MG, is it "task 29 55aa" or "task 28 55aa"?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
sorry my error "task 28 55aa"

ill edit previous post

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] skilty:
sorry for the noob question, i'm on XP would I still need to run through the driver setup in the first post? :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
I dont have XP, but i guess not, i have never heard of people having a problem with MTTY on XP.

Just disable USB connections in active sync, reboot your system and start MTTY.

If there s no USB option you may have to find the XP Active Sync Drivers and follow my method, but using the XP drivers.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] puredreamz:
I am running Windows XP but I cant find "USB" as a selction when running mtty1.42. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Should I install a driver? If so which one does my XP require? Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
Read the posts, i will help but evidently you have not read the instructions.

MG
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] puredreamz:
I have read the instructions many times MysticGenius but I still dont know what I am doing wrong. I did notice that it said on XP you dont need to install the drivers. Does that mean skip post 2 entirely? Either way I tried putting my device in bootloader and restarting and my computer does find an unknown device but when I run mtty I still dont get that USB selection that post number 3 and 4 talk about. Please tell me if I have missed something.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
well the only thing i can think of is:

when your using XP you need to load active sync and de-select "Allow USB Connections" then reboot and try mtty.

other than that you will have to PM me as this thread is for Vista and Win7!

MG
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gsmdb:
The other way is more simple, don't change anything from default. Just load active sync. Choose File-Connection Settings, run Connect, click Next. Active sync detects all connections. Leave the window (don't CLOSE it), run mtty and usb is recognized
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] moeper:
I tried point 7. after all points on two phones, a friend tried it too, but we are not able to initiate ROM Flash, the old rom is still flashed, nothing happends....my problems with the phone are gone away since mtty and hard reset, but the part with flashing a rom from internal storage, that doen´t work, someone has the same problems?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
ROFL!!! I do this daily and it DOES work! I can tell you have not bothered reading the thread as you would know that this is a completely tried and tested method!

PEOPLE: we have a P.I.C.N.I.C Error!!

(Problem In Chair Not In Computer)

Have you actually copied the new rom you wish to flash to your internal storage?

MG
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] herpez:
Hi. I can succesfull install the driver and have USB on the software, however, when i tipe

6b: type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset:

And the other commands, it doesnt outup nothing, just:

CMD>

...

What can i do?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
hi,

are you typing the commands not pasting them in?

maybe try restarting MTTY?

I have never experienced this and it has never been mentioned in the thread!!

MG
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] herpez:
My bad!

Sorry :(

Too noob error. I was Copy and paste, now i made it

Really THANKS!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] donald-c:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:

USB Problem

i had some trouble at first..

im running on my sisters xp at the moment and well it doesn't need the drivers so i thought that was a good thing. and well it is

but it would be great if you put on the post to remember to disable the usb on activesinc i was wondering for a while why it wasn't showing me the USB option.

allmost gave up.

but i did it finally and flashed my rom and everything. i'll see if it worked with the hard reset and feezing at reboot problems ive had. (what can i say, i like to flash alot)

if anything still keeps happening ill post an update or something.

i noticed the problems i had which made me go to this on the BsB 6.5 WWE ROM

just if anybody is interested in knowing :)

maybe its its too much info.. but its better then not getting enough :P

thanks again :)

MG
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Joh@n:
Yesterday I followed all the steps in the first posts of this thread and I must say it was all clear to me. The reason I searched for this topic is that my Touch Diamond has a little problem. When it starts up, it will show the Windows Mobile screen, start the today screen...and after 2 seconds reboot itself again and again. I heard from another user the MTTY process could fix these kind of issues, so, happy me :)

After flashing the new ROM all went well yesterday evening, until this morning. The thing I had noticed yesterday during the MTTY process is the following. One of the steps returned this value:

Total Bad Block in CE: 1

I think this is the issue my TD is ****ed up again now. Is there anything in MTTY to fix this issue? Or should I flash the original ROM and send it to HTC?

EDIT: Ah well, I see in this thread that it should not be an issue, because I can flash my ROM. But it still keeps rebooting and after a hard reset it is very, very slow..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zindo:
i resolve it!!!i follow exactly the post 2 & 3!!now works perfectly!!you're so great

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] awaisanwaar:
hi! I wann ask few questions about this mtty as I am a newbee :P

what kind of drivers are prohibit to have in the windows xp ? I mean , drivers of usb shouldn't be installed or other drivers like of graphics ??

last thing I wanted to ask is that it is compulsory to formet internal storage via mtty or its just a option that mmty can also do ? and what are these bad sectors like that

Total Bad Block in CE: 1

is this a normal result of process or something is done wrong with e process ? if something is done wrong then how it could be resolved safely ????

waiting for your answers...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kappalainen:
I had the same problem as some of you, that when I installed the dowloaded driver (and by the way, I have W7 32-bit) it said, that device could not start. I tried to open mtty anyway and noticed that it had no USB-option to choose (surprise, surprise...). Then I actually accidentally opened the original Active sync control center and enabled the "Allow USB connections", just for fun. After this I was compleately stunned, that the USB-option came available in mtty. I have absolutely no logic to why this happened. The date on the driver says somethingsomething.2004 and not 2003 as it says it should be.

Regardless I managed to use the mtty successfully. If someone really knows why something like this happened, please enlighten us :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Hellas4:
Ohhh!!! So... i'm trying to find where this option is "Allow USB connections" and i can't find it! can you enlight me first!! ??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kappalainen:
I actually just did a windows search with the words Active sync. It found the .exe to change settings for it. Do you have the Active sync software installed? Don't even know if its relevant to have it, but that's where i found the option to allow or disallow USB-connections. Can't tell you the exact name because I have a finnish version :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] usama ali:
thanks MysticGenius

i used to read that the members' diomand always hard rest itself . i never had this problem but recently i had this terrible problem , then i uesed your MTTY and it worked :). now my diamond is back to life again(thanks to you)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] donald-c:
I get the same problem, I installed MTTY before and it just seems to be, gone... Now my phones f***ed up again, (installed a stock ROM and flashed ONE ROM and it constantly needs the ROM flashed to boot...)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
Hi sorry for late reply, but the only OS that needs NO drivers is winXP!!

if your using vista u need drivers! read the posts!!

;)

this thread is for Vista and Win 7, XP has no known issues (it has been like this for years!!) also XP does not need drivers installed! the only thing with XP is you need to load ActiveSync and select "Disallow USB Connections"

Other than that i can offer no help as i do not have XP installed and i have not got the time/space on my Lappy to get it on! there is already 4 OS's

what version of 7 are you using?

I have an Official (i.e. not an internet leaded release, it is the version that will be available on the 22rd) release of Windows 7 x64 & x86

My system is quad booting with Win7 x64 & x86 and also Vista x64 & x86 and it have this working on all 4 OS!

if you dont get the USB option you HAVE done something wrong while following post 2!

how did you get the error, i need to know the steps if im to help you out!!

MG ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
Im sorry but i do not understand.

task 8 reboots the device immediately then you need to hardreset, then perform the flash from internal storage, then hard reset again then allow the device to boot!

Hope that helps

can't see usb port on XP SP3 with MTTY 1.42

Hello,

i can't see the USB port under MTTY 1.42 and XP SP3.

Device Manager shows a Windows CE USB Device -> PocketPC USB Snyc, when i connected Diamond in Bootloader Mode (Hard SPL 1.34).

I installed none of the drivers, as it is not neccessary for XP (btw. ActiveSync ist installed and working).

XP System and MTTY output see attached screenshot.

I just needed to kill wcescomm.exe from ActvieSync. Now it's working!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] quendil:
Hi everyone. i have an idea/question. what if after the task 8 command we skip the hard reset and we proceed straight to the rom update process? that can happen if after the task 8 command we hold down volume down and back button.after all the hard reset doesnt seem to serve any specific task.

so, what do you think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
No!!

If i thought that would work in every instance i would have written that into the instructions.

Many (uninformed) people like you have asked this repeatedly throughout the thread, so i can assume that you also have not read the thread.

This works so im not changing it.

XP and USB Connct MTTY

Hi,

if you run XP and you have Problems to connect to USB try following:

1. Launch ActiveSync on PC

2. Go to connection settings

3. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection

4. bring the device to bootloader.

5. Now, run mtty ...

... try again to switch from COM1 to USB and follow the instructions of perfect post 3

Hope it helps ... Kgerry

Cant update driver keep getting Code 10 error. Says program was found but there was a problem with instillation. I have 32bit vista and are using x86 drivers. What should I do anybody.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nirak:
Despite of the error...check the date of your drivers, if they're older then 2007 (should be 2003 or 2004) you could give it a try...run MTTY 1.42 and check if you have the USB option in first screen.

If so, you can proceed.

I had the same error more then once in Vista 32b and once on Windows7RC1, but also got the USB option, i ran MTTY without any problems.

I have the same code 10 problem as polarjorn. The first time i installed the driver, it said successful, but then the system asked me to restart, so i restarted (to the normal windows).

UNCHECK USB CONNECTIONS means on the connection settings of the windows mobile device center!!
