[technical] Troubles upgrading?!?

Well i dont have a device so i cant provide much info, but wanted to start a thread of problems and possible solutions...
So i will kick it off.. A friend of mine just messaged me said he acquired a post-production kaiser and wanted to install the ATT rom on it... however when he does it just says could not flash handheld or whatever or its not compatible...it goes to bootloader, gets to around 1% and then stops and phone restarts...

Well I'm probably going to catch a beating for this but has anybody has the BALLS to hard spl the kaiser with the hermes version. I realize saying this is obvious is an understatement but I would venture to say that most people would be to scared to try. I have a solid connection at a cingy cough...cough I mean at&t store that has switched out 8525's for me without question so I may try if I can get my hands on one. The way I see it I have to start contributing at some point LOL

I would guess it is due to a CID lock...
But then again, what do I know

if it was cid lock you generally get the "invalid vendor" code.. He specifically stated it wasnt that error... but that was my first thought also... not to mention it should be unlocked at least for the first flash since its HTC branded..
although we did discover that a hard reset is done the same way as the hermes, 2 soft keys + reset ... couldnt find how to put it in bootloader though

It is due to CID lock.
To put in bootloader hold camera + power and reset with stylus.
I got my kaiser today, I'll start to work on a CID unlocker soon

Dead HTC Diamond?

Hey guys,
I have had a HTC Diamond for quite some time now, I love(d) it! But I wanted to try out a new ROM. As you know a new non OEM ROM requires an unlock.
A quick search brought me to this link: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
As it clearly states: THIS IS FOR CDMA DIAMONDS ONLY!
Well, I have a GSM phone... At the time I had never heard of "CDMA" so I went through with the instructions.
My phone shutdown, and wont come on again.
I have tried to hard reset with out any luck. Only sign of life is when I connect it to my computer/charger it gets hot (no light tho)
Is there any way to bring my baby back to life? =)
All help is really appreciated!

Welcome to the forum
Have a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
Perhaps a hard reset will be required (Back up your data)
Good luck,

Thank you
I had a look there before posting. The main problem for me is that the phone wont enter the bootscreen at all. No reaction when I push the power button
Is there a prog/app that allows me to start up the phone from my computer?

I have insurance on the phone, so I can get it repaired. Will they notice that I messed with the lock?
If so, how can I make sure they dont? Please help me!

Hi,
I think your device is what is technically known as proper ****ed
Get it into service station. It is unlikely they would be able to tell, no boot loader or any life at all, nah i doubt it. They will probably replace the main board....... and next time, use the right forum
Good luck my friend.

My touch pro 2 has been bricked

I posted this in another thread as it was similar (though for tmobile), but I believe I haven't gotten any answers there I was hoping to try here:
I was installing winmo msn messenger. It installed fine and reset my tp2 fine. It goes thru the tp2 splash screen, the verizon splash screen and the winmo splash screen. Then it shows owner information and this is where it gets screwed up. Owner info will stay up forever if I dont touch the screen. After touching the screen the only thing left will be the top bar and the rest of the screen stays black. The only things on the top bar are the signal icon (which always has an x), the wifi icon (which seems to be connected fine lol) and either owner info will still be in the upper left or the start menu will be there. Hitting the screen only causes my tp2 to beep.
Nothing I know how to do (which is basically just hard and soft resetting it) works. Verizon can't fix it (didnt think they would be able to) and I can find no drivers (possibly cause I'm still a noob with winmo) to resolve my issue. I'm not even sure how I'd get them on as it wont even sync up to my computer and my computer cannot find its hd. If I could get a rom for the verizon one I think I can figure it out from there with no issues...but htc website sends me to verizon website for support and vice versa. The htc wiki is the closest I've gotten to an answer...but no rom to download. The only OEM roms I can find anywhere aren't for this phone, unless one of those will work? You guys are the experts.
Does anyone know what I can try? Verizon wants me to return it but cannot tell me when I'll get my new one as they are out of stock...again. Please help lol! Thanks for any and all help because I NEED a phone and can't wait around for them to decide to include them in the next shipment, nor would I appreciate being given some other type of phone in the mean time simply because I paid for the tp2, if I had wanted another phone I would have bought it instead.

if you do just a litle searching over at ppcgeeks, there's info about shipped roms and where to get them. (not sure if its kosher to post a direct link to it or not, given that these are shipped roms). hopefully that will help, otherwise, dunno what to tell ya.

First off, I can tell you that installing MSN Messenger would NOT brick your TP2. There are other problems with the phone, most likely a bad mfr rom. If you performed a hard reset (You did didnt you?) it would reload the factory rom.. so if your phone is still bricked, your factory rom is hosed, or your phones hardware is hosed. Installing MSN Messenger would not do this by itself.
Learning from trial and error is a tough road. Return the phone for a new one while you still have the option. You got a get out of jail free card, now is the time to use it.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by mfr (I'll hit up google after this) but I can tell you only what I know. My phone worked fine for 3 days. Once I got it set up like I wanted and was ready to start installing other crap I did so, I started with MSN.

Yup got the hard reset in there, it just didnt do anything. However, one thing I did not was that there were numerous postings with different ways to hard reset the device. The only one I could get to do anything at all was pressing volumn down + reset while the phone was off but it stayed at the tri color screen without much else going on...so I coulda just done the wrong one or did it wrong all together. If I did please point me in the right direction.
Like I said before I can't say if it was screwed from the time I first turned it on as this is my first smartphone and first experience with tf3d (I've had many pda's though) but it had been soft reset multiple times prior, along with a couple of hard resets, and had no issue bouncing back from those. Reset after MSN install...hosed. Not that I'm saying your wrong, you guys are the experts here, but from what I've experienced regardless of what caused it msn will certainly not be going on my next smart phone. I'll opt for one of the all in one apps like I was going to before I decided to go with a name I trusted.

Got no choice about this. The only issue I have with this is the fact that they can't tell me when I'll get my new phone. Plus I have only 1 of 2 choices:
1. Mail my phone back and get a refurbished one in return....uhm...no
2. Take my phone back to the verizon store I got it at, get my refund, and hope to god that I can get another one the next time they get it in stock.
I'm not trying to ***** and complain...just trying to find a way to fix it without a)paying 300 for a refurbished phone, or b)going an unknown amount of time without my phone.

does your start menu drop down when you hit it? When i go to settings/today/items and uncheck the TouchFLO 3d my screen is just as you describe. Its pure black with the top bar available. Did you check to see if the touchflo 3d is turned on?

You went into boot loader mode. I did a hard reset on my sprint version but I dont remember how technical support told me. I think it was power off the phone. push and hold 'up' volume key, then hit and hold the reset switch till the phone boots. This will start off looking like a normal soft reset, but it will take much longer, your phone will be erased of all info you put in and it will do an instalation of software and reboot right before touchflo starts . I dont think you will ever get a tri-color screen (i could be wrong), which is what you get when the phone is expecting a rom flash from a computer. the whole process probably takes like five minutes, and theres a spot right after it starts it looks like your phone is doing nothing (Leave it be!). I've been messing with a lot of phones recently, and i dont remember if you got to hold the up key and reset button till you get a hard reset warning or not. (it might tell you all your data will be erased, and whether or not to continue)
edit:
just did a quick google and confirmed it on my sprint touch pro2. push and hold 'send' and 'end' key. Using your teeth, push and hold the 'reset' button with the stylus. finaly, push the power button. (all three need to be pressed down when you hit the power). the tri color screen flashes, then a white screen warns of the reset and says push 'up' volume key to continue, any other key to cancel. Hope this helps.

When you did the hard reset, did you get a warning that all data was going to be erased and where you asked to enter something to confirm? If you didn't, then you have not done a hard reset.
I had to try several times to get mine to hard reset. Even though I hit the proper keys, the phone would just soft reset, not hard reset. I can see how you can easily be fooled thinking you did a hard reset if you don't know what to look for.
I think there are different key presses for Verizon vs Sprint. Make sure you're using the right one.
BTW, "mfr" = manufacturer . . . i.e. HTC

Confirmed. The Verizon HTC TP2 Hard Reset is the same as T-Mobile but is different from Sprint.
With POWER OFF, hold Volume Down while pressing SEND (green) and END (red). It takes about 4 seconds to take. WARNING: THIS IS A HARD RESET, BACK UP YOUR CONTACT LISTS AND DATA. EVERYTHING BUT YOUR OEM INSTALL WILL BE WIPED.

I actually ended up calling HTC about 6hrs ago (5 pm est) and they did confirm what i had already started thinking. Verizon tech support has no idea what the hell they are talking about when it comes to this phone.
@spunks74 you're absolutely right, this is just what htc said and is where I finally figured out....verizon needs to get this phone in their techs hands instead of giving them pictures and text.
@DragonNote this is exactly what htc told me after they told me verizon didnt know how to hard reset. thanks for the info, even if i called htc before checking here. thank god im obsessive about backups or I would have been screwed because once this happened....nope no way to do anything at all. Also, for other forum members that may not know, the link you provided (for t-mobile) is completely different than the link for the hard reset for verizon:
http://www.htc.com/us/faqs.aspx?p_id=294&cat=0&id=110490&f=t
which is why i was at such a loss during this issue...I couldn't get that far lol. I read sooo many different ways to hard reset the phone but none worked. obvviously i never checked to seei f the different providers would hard reset different ways. i just assumed they would all reset the same way (i guess this time assuming only made an ass out of me) so i found myself looking at ways to reset the touch pro 2 and ways to reset the rhocium, which is where all the different variations can be found.
@mjcole2003 Without touch flo i recognize the gui right away, and the first time it happened i did think i had just jacked up the flashy gui, but while it was the bare winmo gui there was nothing I could do. any screen touch, any keypress all ended with the same outcome I'd touch/press and the device would only *beep*

copy that. my condolences for your loss. I would have them replace it immediately. Too much BS for a new ppc. Only makes you wonder what else is wrong with it.

Why don't you do a hard reset via Clear Storage in settings? This surely seems like something that can be fixed with a hard reset.

Because as the OP said he cant do anything inside the GUI. IE hard reset is only option.

My mistake

Edit: nvrmind, problem solved.

bricked HTC

I think i bricked theHTC fuze that i bought yesterday I tried to do the Hard SPL but i was getting an error message, error 244 invalid model ID so i used a program to change the .nbh (a radio file) file so it bypassed the error message (by changing DIAM***** to RAPH*****, since my phone is raphael). I even got a message that the process was successfully finished but it turned out not to be true because the screen went black and now i cant turn it on, and i cant even get it into the bootloader mode. If i could at least get it into to tricolor screen i would be able to flash back the original radio and that would solve the problem because ive already done it a few times. Please let me know if there is a chance to get it fixed, even i had to send it to a professional but as long as it could be fixed, im really desperate. Thank you
brick, htc fuze, diamond, raphael, hardspl

You only get that error when your trying to flash the wrong device... Did you use the file "Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.zip" to unlock..?? Sound's to me like you used the Diamond Unlocker... Shouldn't be that hard to fix, hold the volume down button, power button, and insert stylus into the hole on the bottom to soft reset to try and open up BL screen... LMK if that works...

Why didn't you just follow the instructions for flashing? You aren't even security unlocked, so why were you trying to flash a diamond radio? That makes no sense at all. Also, if you are security unlocked, you need to get diamond radios from the raphael forum, because they're patched to flash onto raphaels. It sounds like you got yours from the diamond forum, which is the wrong way to go (especially if it's a cdma radio-that would kill your phone for sure). Did hard spl work? If not, why on earth did you forge ahead? YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU FLASH HARD SPL!!!!!
Try pulling the battery for a while, the see if it will start up. It's hard to tell what you did, but since you went down such a wrong path, I wouldn't be surprised if the phone is a giant brick.

this should've been clue #1. If you have to change it because of the device ID, it's the wrong thing to flash. The Diamond and Raph look alike on the front, but are almost totally incompatible ROM-wise.,

You are wrong there, it did flash successfully. The tools worked EXACTLY as they were designed. It's not the tools fault

You might contact olipro, I hear he's got the "magic touch" with devices. No guarantees. I've heard that it's almost impossible to unbrick a device like this after an incorrect/bad radio flash.
I really hope it works out for you. Read dude, the stickies are everywhere for your benefit. Best of luck to you.
brick, htc fuze, diamond, raphael, hardspl

I run into things like this DAILY. Been a service rep for over 30 years. If people would ONLY follow the instructions, I'd have less follow up work to do.
Unfortunately they make these phones too easy to hack (good for us) but sometimes noobs make it hard for the rest of us.

lol
This is what happens when you don't follow directions, don't read enough, and are monkeying with things you obviously shouldn't be monkeying with.
When you got the device ID error, you should have stopped right there and thought "gee, maybe I should go over these instructions again and see what I did wrong" instead of trying to force a radio that will never work on your device.
Hope you can get it in to bootloader, otherwise enjoy your shiny new brick.

Well, hope you get it solved and otherwise you learned a lesson in a very expensive way I'm afraid...

I did hard SPL first with 1.90OliNex (because the one that was in the unlocking package originally didnt work beacuse of the invalid model ID message) and i thought thats what security unlocked the phone and then i tried to put a costume radio that would allow me to unlock the phone but the radio wouldnt flash. So i went back to the SPL from the unlocking package (HARD SPL 1.34) and i changed the .nbh file from DIAM***** to RAPH***** and then it bricked... The reason i did this is beacuse of the following link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-427305.html
I just hope something can still be done otherwise this is just a good warning for all others not to do this. Thank you for the replies

No I used a gsm unlocker, HARD SPL 1.34... There is a more detailed explanation in the post above

Hard spl 1.34 is either cdma or diamond gsm-I don't know which. I do know that it will brick a gsm touch pro. Flashing the wrong hard spl is the guaranteed way to kill a phone. If you actually flashed it, the phone is dead. Try pulling the battery for a day.
You need to run the gsm raphael unlocker to security unlock your phone. You need to pay for it, too. Hard spl doesn't security unlock your phone-it only CID unlocks it.

LoL yeah a $600 paper weight may also come in handy..?? Or like previously stated, take your anger out on it for not doing it right the first time lol...

I now this might be a little too late to answer,but i want to give my two cents to this brick posts. Maybe someone will need it. This is for anyone that might be where I was for over 2 weeks. I though my Fuze/ Raphael / touch pro was history. My phone will get into restart loops when ever he wanted. It was very anoying. After replacing every possible software from Radio, Hard Spl, different rooms and even start up splashes, and almost getting "ORD" in the process. I finally took my phone apart, since there was no warranty. Once open I saw that the reset bottom inside was too close to the rubber reset bottom from outside. Guess what ?? That as all it was..... Good luck to all. : )

FML --- Im an idiot and flashed the TP1 HSPL to the TP2

So is there anything i can do? i cant turn the phone on but windows sees the device just cant add a driver to it.... any help please?

Have you tried flash HSPL of TP2 on top of it?

yes but windows isnt recognizing the device so the hspl for tp2 wont work cuz it says that its not connected

not even if you put it in bootloader mode?

i cant get the phone to turn on in any mode.

Luckly I had the insurance and got a new tp2 the next day..learn from your mistakes man, its beyond bricked....buying a new phone only option or insurance way

Thanks for the help all. But i could not even get the little led to come on. I imagine the device was on seeing as windows knew something was there however it could not find a driver. So i called Verizon and have them shipping me a new one.

if windows sees it, you might be able to reinstall stock rom.. windows wont even see mine

I dont think so, I think you have to have a bootloader waiting for the rom.
other option would be JTAG it, i dont think anybody has done it so far, you need a hardware guy to figure out where the jtag points are on the phone board for that.

Sorry dude yea I was in the same boat as you,,,2 days ago bad news its officially bricked...I flashed mine tp2 also with the tp1 hardspl
I know u cant turn it on,,when u plug it in sometimes u get the battery charger light to come on...and thats about it...You cant bootloader it...and you cant turn tp2 on.
Luckly I had the insurance and got a new tp2 the next day..learn from your mistakes man, its beyond bricked....buying a new phone only option or insurance way

i had the same problem with my tp1 - forced to boot loader, and just forced the flash even though the screen was blank. I AM NOT SUGGESTING YOU DO THIS. But on that particular model on its OWN roms it worked for me ^^
[edit]
very scary process hehe

heh i literally described it.
I just took the battery out, to make sure it was powered down. did the keys for boot loader, and just trusted it would make the connection.
had to try a few times, and its been a while since i did it - but as i recall i told the bastard flash on the computer and walked away, and the next time i got bootloader, so i turned it off and let it charge, then back to bootloader and flash and i was fine.
now for me i had flashed a gsm on cdma iirc and ive no idea why the above worked at all. Likely the flash was corrupted on the way in or something, but its been so long there's no way to remember enough details to see if its even something that's been observed in that state and sequence of events.
Code:
and for you lazy ppl - this board doesnt do multiquoting correctly, as they went lateral [more in a chain - good] but left out depth [how many sam quoted lucy quoted billy levels can we get]
so if your curious here's something for how to manually multiquote:
when your the third in the chain, you have to go to the quoted post and push quote copy and paste that. then go to the post you WANTED to quote, and right where the writing starts paste away:
[ QUOTE=rk73;4859704 ] [ QUOTE=starscalling;4856587 ]inner[ / QUOTE ]
outer [ / QUOTE ]
you
