Problem solved

I flashed from my pc. PC runs Windows XP.

I wish to know what went wrong? I did everything correctly (Quite sure);)

If one puts HardSLP on your phone once, do u need to upload it again next time?

Man!!!!

I updated the first post today to stop people asking about Error blocks when they come up in MTTY because they dont matter.

So why would you think getting no errors does matter?

I wish i had never opened this thread as people cant seem to follow instructions and make simple logical deductions, everything was ok until 2-3 weeks ago then this new breed of XDA users arrived!!

We are happy you open this thread up. Maybe just take a break from it. They will be forced to read by then...;)

The drivers have nothing to do with your diamond. The drivers are there for your computer to allow mtty USB to be seen. Trusting it and downloading them is your next step and follow the instructions on the first post and you will be fine.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
These have a tendency not to work also!! use at your own risk.

Just as a side not, if you use these drivers, you will not get support in this thread for MTTY or the drivers.

This method is EXPLICITLY for use with the drivers etc posted in this thread.

Hi MysticGenius,

I was reading your post #3:

>2: Copy DIAMIMG.nbh to the "Internal Storage" of your Device.

and than I was reading the other thread (which is highlighted by you also):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035

>copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal >Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)

"Storage Card" is clear, but what is the difference between the 4GByte and the "internal phone memory"

I have a HD2 at the moment. I would place the file I would like to flash on the storage card and not on the HD2 itself.

Is this something special for the Diamond?

Best regards,

dingolino
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
Do this with a HD2 and you will have a nice brick!!

yes, this method works for the Diamond/Touch Pro/Touch HD and has not been tested on the HD2.

I am working on it but the bootloader commands for the HD2 are hard to come by!

I will be posting a new version in the HD2 thread

I flash my htc diamond on this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=600006 but after first soft reset my device freeze on loading screen (with text touch diamond). i tried to do everything from first page after this happens but after instalation usb drivers win make some error 10 (i have win vista x86). can you help me pls? i dont know how to describe better my problem so ask if you have an idea. thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dingolino:
Many thanks for the response!

I would NOT use those commands on my HD2 - this is clear - you mentioned this already in another thread.

I am sorry I made it not clear, so your warning NOT to do it on a HD2 was really necessary!

I was just wondering about the difference between

"Internal storage" and "NOT to the internal phone memory"

because I am not familiar with the technical spec of the Diamond.

Using Windows XP

Which be the exact command

task 29 or task 28 55aa ?????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
No Problem

On your Diamond when you use Total Commander (or something like that, File explorer) when you look at the file system of your phone, you will see a section with "Windows" "Program Files" "My Docs" etc, This is the Internal Phone Memory.

in this section you will also see a folder called "Internal Storage" this is your internal storage!!

(im a bit confused as to how you couldnt work that out!! I mean it is called "Internal Storage" LOL)

Ok, firstly, im **** at poetry, in a Mathematician!

This means read! your lucky you got a response at all:

Do you think i am going to, in the FIRST POST, say "all you need is in the first 4 posts" then give instructions that dont work? do you think this thread is actually a trick and all of the instructions are wrong?

if you had read anything about the task 28 55aa and task 29 debate, there is a HUGE explanation of the difference and why you are to use in the thread, if you want my opinion read the post i put up about it! If not, here it is, found USING SEARCH:

Im just getting sick to death of people who are too inept to read!

Possibly, as i said before, i may request that this thread is removed since i cannot be bothered servicing it any more, it is amazing how when instructions are involved people who usually are probably quite smart, start to dribble.

Seriously, what reason do you have for thinking im giving incorrect instructions? have i EVER given incorrect instructions to anyone for anything (to the best of my ability anyway)

I think I bricked my Diamond..

Thanks for you helpful procedure on mtty. Tried to reflash my Diamond after having all sorts of problems with yozgatg's excellent Gen.Y D2 R2.5 wwe ROM but I think I goofed up on step 6d above.

Up to then fine. Hit "task 8" as described but got ahead of myself and pulled the USB cable (as per step 7) before the Cmd> prompt reappeared.

Tried step 7 and 8 but all I get now is a blank screen with the "Touch Diamond" words in a white font. Nothing, nada, zip.

Have I bricked it completely or is there somethig else I could try under mtty? :(

I might be the only numpty to have done this so far but it might be worth adding in step 6d (in big red letters) to "WAIT" after you hit "task 8" until the prompt returns.

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
You have to press ENTER with the other task, why would you not continue the same pattern?

Hey MG,

From time to time, I like checking up on you.

Are you going CRAZY yet?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Southbarn:
Thanks band 27. After I typed "task 8" I did hit return, but pulled the cable before the prompt returned. The mtty screen was not showing anything, just a blank line. I'm guessing you are supposed to wait for the "Cmd>" prompt before going to step 7?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
As soon as you press Return, your device Resets and that's when you pull out the USB wire and hold Vol Down to initiate the bootloader flashing sequence.

This of coarse is pending that you have placed the DIAMIMG.nbh file in the root of your internal storage.

Then flashing commences...

Done!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Southbarn:
Yep. I had a fresh copy of the Gen.Y D2 R2.5 ROM named DIAMIMG.nbh in the root of "internal storage". Sounds like I did it right. Except it hangs on the white text. Any recovery you can suggest?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
Recently dude! I think i am! LOL! Maybe im getting a bit to irate, but everytime i see/read the guff the tourists are putting everywhere i DO think im going mad because everytime i say something about it I end up taking it in the neck!!

I dont get it, in the days of Olipro people like this would get detonated...point blank!

Go Figure!! (Thanks for helping BTW! :))

Why after following all of the prompts, and waiting for the output, would you think this would be any different?

Pull your battery out, put it back in press the buttons to invoke the flash and continue the flash.

MG

P.S. as for the "WAIT" ....... NO!! BOO to the WAIT!!!

Hi

I need help. I've looked but cannot find out if I have bricked my MDA compact 4

Like an idiot I sailed on even though I could not get the procedure set out below.

MTTY OUTPUT:

---------------------

CMD>

---------------------

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

---------------------

MTTY OUTPUT:

---------------------

CMD>set 14 0

HTCST ÚÈHTCEUSB>

---------------------

I did not get the same MTTY OUTPUT.

Now what I have is unit that will not boot up. In bootloader it shows SPL-1.40.Olinex. I only got this today as a replacement that I had been using an old cooked ROM on. I was going to put a new ROM on this new phone, but as you can see, I never manged to get that far (although Hard SPL and radio are on).

Have I gone down a one way street, or am I panicking over nothing. A push in the right direction would be very much appriciated otherwise I've got to try and return this to T-Mobile who will easily see I have tampered with it.

The device is not recognised by Activ Sync at all.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
Hi,

In active sync bootloader is not recognised anyway!! so dont worry bout that.

also if you have hardSPL on then you have nothing to worry bout.

that said, i cannot work out where you are having a problem! please answer these:

1: What OS? (XP, Win 7, Vista)

2: If you answer to 1 is Vista/Windows 7 then did you install the drivers?

tried MTTY task 29 finishes as it should, but task 28 / 28 55aa doesnt finish.

in both ways i cant finish flashing.

tried flashing a radio using RUU and it finishes fine.

cant even change HARD-SPL ver. currently 1.93

what does it means and what should i do to correct it??

thank you in advance..:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
Interesting one that!! Never been posted before!!

set 14 0 tells the device to expect an OS load when rebooted.

can you proceed with the commands task 29 and task 8, yuor device will format.

I suspect this is just one of those random pieces of output! when i search the error i get lots of linux commands!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] madikus:
Bricked??? This is quite a challange I am affraid...

I am affraid my Diamond is just dying.

What I did:

wanted to flash this rom: [ROM][FINAL][WWE] Windows Phone 6.1 | Build 21054 | HTC Sense 2.5 ! By GXFX

So downloaded, copied into IS.

When flashing the ROM after the MTTY procedure, it stopped loading the ROM.

I tried this couple of times, without any success.

Tried to do hard reset, but it stuck at the Touch Diamond screen.

Than tried to hard reset completely, including the internal storage, but it could not boot again. Stopped at the Touch Diamond screen.

As far as I understand, now I do not have the diamimg.nbh file in the internal storage, the NAND is cleared of the previous ROM. I also cant sync of course to update the ROM image with the RUU.

So what to do??? Shall I just simply bin my nice Diamond? In this case I have a 1350 mA battery in good condition for sale :-(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
Calm DUDE!!!

dont worry! ok, you said that you have run through MTTY and your rom stopped loading.

1: put into bootloader

2: connect USB

3: run task 29 again to clear the part of the rom that was loaded

4: DO NOT task 8 yet

5: download the rom you want to flash, and get it ready for flashing VIA USB

6: when your rom is ready to flash run task 8, then bring back into bootloader

7: with your diamond in bootloader connected to USB start the flash

let me no how you get on.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rjpearce:
Small note for Windows 7 x64 users:

When you reboot you may see the "Unknown Device" it may have a small yellow exclaimation mark. With the following error message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".

If this does occur simply un-plug the USB cable and re-plug it in. It will re-appear as a "HTC USB Sync" device. This is fine just make sure the driver version is correct! Mtty then has the USB dropdown option.

Big thank you to XDA devs for this brilliant thread!

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

Great guide MysticGenius.. followed your instructions and it worked beautifully! Two issues I encountered were due to my inexperience with such matters:

1) Copy & paste of the commands does not work with MTTY. Had to type the commands in, this had me stumped for awhile.

2) Had to read through quiet a few threads till I understood the "Disable USB setting in Active Sync" instruction. Thank you to all those who explained that this is located under Mobile Device Settings --> Connection Settings for people using Windows Mobile Device Center.

After that flashing my phone was a breeze and everything is working great again! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SiliconSquirrel:
type them? surly thats not hard! i mean really how difficult can it be to work out? firstly:

notice the word TYPE!! :) second, if you did try to copy&paste, it wouldnt work so the only other way to get the commands in is to type them! cant have taken you that long to crack what the keyboard is for!! :p lol

This is basic!! and it has been covered 3-4 times in this thread already. also if you DONT know what AS is, why exactly are you using MTTY to flash?

it is even covered in the trouble shooting section of the instruction manual!

Im pretty sure that if every eventuality was covered in this post the post would be huge.

you are expected to work abit yourself!!

MTTY flashing problem

I have an XP PC and was flashing from USB, so I went from Post 1 to Post 4, all the commands and processes worked okay until step 7.

I didn't immediately disconnect and/or pushed the wrong buttons because the device started it's normal boot process, where (for the existing ROM) the service provide logo appears.

I've tried a number of soft & hard resets but still the same result, the service provider logo appears and device waits.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
