I'm a newbie trying to find the perfect ROM on a HTC Touch Diamond, I've followed the instructions posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211, and managed to install this ROM provided by Energyrom: EnergyROM_21864_DIAMOND_10.Nov.2009_StandardM2.5.
I'd like to install a lighter ROM that is as close to the standard HTC/ WM 6.5 as possible and am looking for recommendations. But first I need to remove the Energyrom and have no idea how to do this? Activesync works intermittently if I wipe the device, and set the activesync settings to not seek permission, and remove all partnershps from my PC. But as soon as I try to run the RomUpdate Utility it fails to run because off a bad connection with the phone. Then the Windows Mobility Centre just shows an error and I have to go through the process all over.
Any help much appreciated
Welcome to forums
No need to remove the ROM, when you find the new ROM you want to flash just flash it and that´s all!
Thanks Orb.. ...however..
...The real problem is the ActiveSync. Once I have used the 'wipe device' control in the settings, and removed previous partnerships, I can connect the phone via Active sync. However, by the time the Rom Update Utility is running it appears that the connection is dropped, the Rom Update Utility cant communicate with the phone and then when I reconnect I just get an Error Icon in Windows Mobile Device Centre. This is preventing me from overwiritng with a new ROM.
I would perform a hard reset instead wipe device option.
Instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_HardReset
Try after HR and most likely should work, then you can change ROM
Still no luck...
Thanks ORB, but this still does't work, the phone is connected through activesync but all rom update utilities just stop with an Error 224

This is sooo frustrating - is there any way to fix the activesync, or some way of removing/ replacing energyRom, even getting the phone back to HTC standard would be better than the current state.
thnx
Flash from internal storage
Howdy,
Not sure I'd blame the rom, more likely a USB problem or activesync has always seemed flaky. Anyway do the flash from the device.. Copy about any ROM file to root of the internal storage area (either in storage mode or try active sync but it's slower & seems you're having issues) but name it DIAMIMG.nbh then reset your phone while holding down VOLUME DOWN & BACK buttons and you'll get the upgrade menu where it should tell you it found an OS rom & it's ready & you just press POWER button to start the process, resetting it when it says it's completed successfully.. That has been pretty much the way I've updated roms on the Diamond for a long time now (Really handy to have a few roms on there & just rename when you want to flash it..) & seems MUCH faster & much more reliable & should solve your problem.
Hope that helps.

I get this when i try to update in the bootloader (USB V1.00)
I realy don't know waht i'n doing wrong.
Ta wiz.
I will just stick with installing it as is then.
Folks, all I have done is:
1. Extract the finnish rom into a folder using winrar.
2. Copied MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe into the folder.
3. Disabled USB in ActiveSync.
4. Run MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe
5. Reset the iMate into Bootloader using Camera+Power buttons held with soft reset.
6. Connected the iMate with USB.
On the last stretch now so I will post results.

Try restarting the PC!
i've read that for some people it solved this problem
I still got the same problems. If i use the original MaUpgradeUt i get the "error 201: get device data error" and if i use the MaUpgradeUt_NoID i get the empty version thing. Can somebody please help me? I even tried to upgrade with the SD method but only found the spanish ROM on the xda-delveloper FTP with no results. If somebody nows where to find the ROM mda_compact_upd_en_1.zip from the nowicom.com page, could you please let me know?
I'm realy out of ideas so if somebody got any.........
is there a posibility that I killed my bootloader? if zo, can somebody please tell me if I can fix it?

I was flashing my gsmarti's ROM this morning... I follow all the steps and it is successfully go into the "flashing environment"... Unfortunately, the process stuck at the beginning... and suddenly, it turn off itself... then, I cant switch on my phone anymore... and I dont even get the static Gigabyte screen as well...
Is there any solution to this?
Thank you!
Do you know where to find the Rom Upgrade Utility for your phone?
If you go to your carrier's website and log into it, do you by any chance have a downloadable file that will restore your phone to its factory settings?
There's also many different GSmart models .. which one do you have?
I looked up Gsmart phones, and their support site has firmware upgrades listed for some of their phones .... see if you're is listed.
http://www.gigabytecm.com/eng/gbc_supportcategory.aspx?sid=7&tabIndex=3
Thank for you reply =)
Actually i am using gsmart i (64)... and i have the latest firmware with me...
Because this device is using POCKET GHOST to restore and backup the system...
as i mentioned earlier... my "flashing" process is stuck at the beginnig... so, in my opinion, i think the pocket ghost has been deleted and i cant do the flashing anymore... is it true?
If it run's Windows Mobile ... you should be able to run the RUU at the bootloader screen....
As far as how do you get into the bootloader on your phone ... I have no idea.... on mine, I soft reset while holding the camera button in and keeping the camera button held in until the bootloader screen comes up which looks something like this (note i just randomly found this pic on google images)

Hi... thank you ya...
but i am still stuck in the black screen...
and i cant find any way to access into the bootloader...
i am searching the other sites... and i came across this:
they said if anything goes wrong during "flashing", the ROM will be locked...
is that true?
and one more thing, the bootloader, is it almost same as the bios (cmos) of
our pc?
and for your information... a lot of people are having the same problem...
thx thx... appreciate!! =)
Is this the bootloader?
Yep, that is our bootloader for the Gsmart series. On the i300 its accessed by pressing the red phone, green phone and power buttons at the same time.
If you want to change your ROM then you need to load the new version to your SD card (and I think it needs to be the only contents on the card).
I have been trying to flash my HTC polaris with the updated HTC 6.1 Rom and it is not possible. It would seem that Windows 7 64 drops the connection with the phone when it goes into Boot mode and it does not recognize it.
I am using Windows 7 and Windows Mobile device center. This is what happens, I connect my Polaris with the USB cable It connects and syncs. Then I run the HTC ROM flashing program I click through all the questions and get to the point where I accept flashing my ROM once I do this my Polaris goes into ROM flashing mode showing the red green and blue screen. Then I hear Windows sound as if I had unplugged the device the computer screen shoes the progress bar but nothing happens and then it gives me a message saying Error 260 and tells me to check the connection.
I tried running hard SPL first but it gives me a similar problem when I get the message to unplug the USB cable.
When I check the device manager this is what I get:

Hope you can help me I am tired of using the original ROM.

Please help me out
You should really ask this in the Polaris subforum if you want help, not the General subforum. Though it sounds like you need to install the proper drivers for your device. I'd try putting it in the bootloader, hooking it up via USB, and attempting to get the driver from Windows Update (with the Update Driver function). I've flashed my Kaiser and Rhodium on Win7 64-bit and haven't run into any problems, and the situation seems like it's a driver issue.
Have you tried on win XP? in case you have any...
You'll need to downgrade your usb drivers using this guide

This looks like it would take care of, are there any drawbacks about downgrading?

Hi,
I've been having problems with this phone, everytime I turn on the data plan it keeps poping up messages that all the process have stopped working so whenever I rebooted this keeps happening.
I tried going into recovery mode (e3) and wiping (factory reset) everything but this doesn't work, everything remains the same,
So I was trying to follow the guide to root it and load cwm recovery (from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899736) but it is not working.
I installed the drivers and I'm able to see my device in the windows explorer but when I start the runme.bat to root the phone it just throws a bunch of error messages.

So i tried to load the cwm recovery using the flastool and the process completed with no problem (the green circle appeared) but when I turn on the phone it loads the stock e3 recovery mode.
Is my phone broken ? what do you guys suggest I do ?
thanks in advance
i have this problem to :S somebody can help us??
Liquid Gallant won't reboot
I've got the same issue as mentioned in the post before; does the owner found a solution for his issue?
I tried to follow the tutorial on this forum and got the same issue when installing the *. bat file. File runs but won't detect the phone and closes.
Untill now the problem persists; frequent crash and shut down while using (wathever what, phone, internet, apps,..). I have not much experience with smartphones but it seems to me the internal boot is corrupt. Are any possible tpols or hints available or should the item be returned to ACer (when you know their helpdesk and utility service is crap!)
Same problem
Hello,
I had the same problem last year. I couldn't hard reset ( tried the 2 ways: via the settings or via the volum button when you start). It doesn't reset anything. The applications closes by themselves and I cannot do anything.
Last year, I sent the phone under the warranty and they repaired it and sent to me back.
Now I have exactly the same problem but my phone is not under warranty anymore.
Does anyone found a solution ?
Thanks.
Hi!
This is my first post here, I hope I won't make many mistakes and troubles...
A friend of mine asked me to help him with his car Android based mirror.
The mirror is a "4G Adas Mirror" which is now stucked on the boot screen/logo.
Android version on the device is 8.1.
I've tried to reset through the hard reset button, without success.
I tried to connect the device on my PC to try to get access with adb, no success.
Adb cant see the device, the device list is empty.
When I check in the device manager on my PC I can see under "Portable Devices" installed,
with the name "MTP USB Device".
I also downloaded several drivers but can't install them, not for my device.
And now I'm out of ideas.
If somebody have any idea what could I still try to bring back the device into live, I would really appreciate.
Thank you.
Btw.:
My PC is running win10 x64 Pro
You're probably stuck with only the MTP interface (and not a composite device with MTP and ADB) but it might be worthwhile to double check.
Is the MTP interface active? Can you see any files in Windows File Explorer?
You can check with UsbView.exe to see if there is only one interface, the MTP.
The next step is to try various buttons on boot to see if you can get to recovery, fastboot or ROM bootloader.
Thanks for the fast replay, I cant access the device throug any file manager, as you mentioned, I checked with UsbView.exe already, just to be sure.
The MTP is active.
I've tried many many times the switch combination with the reset button, to try to get into any recovery or whatever cmd line mode, but without success.
The device hase only two buttons:
1. Power button
2. Reset button

Well, there's many ways to skin a cat.
If you open it up there could be a UART with a rooted hardware console.
There could be pushbuttons or test points to get into some other mode.
Good photos will tell us.
So, here we are....
the mirror crashed until I tried to open it.
However, if somebody is interested to hack and poke around this device, I'm familiar to open the device,
make schematics, pictures and try to hack into the device to try to make it alive again.
If somebody is willing to be a part to this pls. let me know and let's get started.
Open it up and take photos.
I'm trying and searching for a way how to open it but not fully crack the mirror, which is actually also a monitor...
I hope I will open the device soo and be back...
