Htc touch diamond need help

Hi Lads,
My HTC touch diamond is doing strange, one day I woke up and suddenly it gave me a Red,Green,Blue,White screen. As I understood it's called bootlloader or something like that.
I tried reset+volumebutton after that it is starting normal and Ive got my phone back, but if I turn my phone back off its gaving me the terrible Red, Green, Blue, White screen back.
Ive tried to do a hard reset ( reset button + volume + round button) but then I have to press the volume button again to accept, but it isnt doing anything then.
Ive looked for some solutions but everything is chinese for me.
I just want my phone back to normal and I hope I dont have to loose all my files.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks anyway lads

Well, if possible, Backup all of your Data using either SPB Backup or Microsoft MyPhone, and reflash a new ROM.
This is what most users will tell you to do.
I think once a device encounters the Bootloader Infinite Loop issue, the only solution is to Flash a New ROM.

and how can I do that ? I am really a dummie at this point.
But it still works only if I put it back on I see the bootloader again.

..better post in the diamond thread. I am sure you will get help!
Maybe HardSLP?

Any update on your progress?
Curious as to whether or not you got the issue fixed.
[If you can get into the Bootloader, you can Re-Flash your device.. just keep it plugged into your computer when you restart your device.]

[Q] Totally messed up my phone after attempting to get root.

I just tried to use this method on my Inspire today and there was an error when flashing back to the stock AT&T ROM after gaining S-OFF and root. When I try to start up the phone normally, it gets stuck on the HTC screen. When I try to boot into recovery, it just shows a black screen while the LED is green.
Anybody know what I can do to fix my phone?

which root method did you use?

I used the one click root method.

Sorry your link doesn't seem to work.

If you press the down volume and hold power can you get to hboot?

Try using bubby's tool to fix the CWM black screen. Its under the fixes link.

I can't seem to access any sort of recovery or hboot. Holding down both volume buttons and turning the phone on will result in the black screen with green LED. Holding the down volume button and turning the phone on does nothing.

Sorry go to Bubbys super one step and search for CWM black screen....

If it helps, the phone vibrates 5 times then shows a black screen.

Well I was able to get into HBOOT but when I tried to go into recovery, the screen would just turn black.

You need to get the stock rooted PD98IMG.zip into the root of your sd card. Then go to hboot and let the phone find it. Follow on screen instructions. Note the progress bar will be vertical on upper right. I bet that fixes you up on getting the phone working. Black screen on cwm is a whole nother issue. One that I share. I think I'm going to revert to stock unrooted and then our attn1 hack kit.

There is a solution you can eng s-off, but I would not advise this there is no need to eng s-off your phone.
The simplest way though it may take longer is to, revert to stock and reroot and s-off with the hack kit.
This is a very common problem with the one click. To be honest there is a thread made just like this twice a day.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I managed to fix everything on my phone. I just flashed the rooted AT&T stock ROM with HBOOT and then used the one-click ENG S-OFF method to fix the black screen on CWM. Now running CM7 perfectly. I'm glad I no longer have to send it back to AT&T.

kinder gentler XDA i guess. Last year posts like these would have been flamed right off the board. Thats not a bad thing, but new people are wasting everyones F'ing time with these posts.
RTFM! w/e it is you decide to do , how about looking for help in the dam thread you downloaded the stuff from? I duno maybe we have a bunch of people brand new to Forums or something.

Ok I don't mean to thread jack, I just didn't want to start a new thread for this. I've been running the Coredroid Rom since I first rooted my phone. I have never had any problems with my phone even when trying out other roms. Today I tried installing the new Coredroid 5.0. It all went well as usual except this time on the last step of the setup wizard, it said something like "setup has stopped working unexpectedly and will notify HTC" and only let me press ok to force close.
After that happened all I couldn't even go to my home screen. I then tried restarting my phone but got stuck on the Coredroid rotating logo. Only way out of that was to pull the battery cover. Tried going into recovery mode but the screen would just be black and I would have the orange light flashing. That didn't work so I tried restarting again. Again just got stuck on the spinning logo.....This is where **** gets weird. I began to receive a call while on the logo and that allowed me to answer thus leaving the spinning logo. I still could not go to my home screen. I could only use the drop down notifications menu. I restarted my phone again so I could call myself while on the logo and again it got me unstuck from the logo. Only way to fix every thing was to use the search option and run Rom Manager and recover from my previous back up.
So I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I always fallow instructions and hardly ever have any problems but this was just odd. I felt like I had to solve riddles in order to get my phone working again.

See if you can boot to bootloader by means of ADB (adb reboot bootloader). If so reflash the stock rooted rom then reload CWM. You might need to Eng-S off if you have a corrupt file / bootloader? When done reflash CorDroid 5.0 (What I am running by the way)....

black htc screen
I tried to root my phone like an idiot because I dont know anything about this stuff and I got a black htc screen and i cant do anything. HELP!!

I see a lot of motivation in this and other threads to leave well-enough alone. Going to leave mine unrooted-stock.
I just had an excellent session of Google Nav where it performed exemplary. My phone does all I need and remains within the rules as the OEM wants it.

Help needed with Desire S

Had it in my pocket yesterday and it started vibrating really fast so I assume it was a call or something. Looked at it and there was loads of apps loaded up on the screen and it was just vibrating away with no incoming call.
Only way to stop it was a battery pull. Turned it back on and it went into safe mode. So turned off and on again and it took a long time to boot but did actually come on ok.
However, the screen didnt respond. So another battery pull and it just stops at the HTC logo on a white screen.
Also when it does boot the light to the left of HTC logo at the top seems lit up.
Any advice guys?

Take a look at this there some possible solutions in there

I get the device to boot after 10 mins on white screen with htc logo.
Still in safe mode. I tried adb reboot recovery but just goes to white screen with logo again.

Did you try ruu or something else inside the thread i linked?
Is your device s-off via revolutionary?

I got into recovery after waiting for a long while. But the only button to respond was the power button meaning I could only reboot.

Good that means adb is working
Try the adb commands within the thread I linked
Or try to use an ruu to restore your partition table or another solution of the following link, but it's quiet strange that your volume buttons don't work or are they just not working within recovery? If they are don't also don't work within bootloader, it looks like there is more damaged than the partitions, your choice, try a ruu or another solution of the linked thread or send your device to repair for warranty (what you also can do after you have tried the other solutions)

Swyped from my Desire S

I have managed to get it to boot with out safe mode being active. But screen isnt responding and I cant unlock the phone. Recovery still wont let me navigate the menus.
Is there any way I can return it to stock without having to navigate recovery so I can take it in for repairs?
Any way to put it back to s-on?

Sry man, but if you don't read what i'm linking there's not much hope, all possible solutions are in there, including ruu what would exactly do what you want to and not only that it also could fix your problem.
Ruu <- click on this
download the ruu for your region
Plug your device to usb
put your phone to fastboot (inside the bootloader)
Be sure that htc drivers are installed (maybe install AND uninstall htc sync [the drivers are still present])
Execute the the ruu and follow the instructions

I am about to try this, awaiting download of RUU. Although I am not sure which to use.
Mine is sim free stock from carphonewarehouse. So I am grabbing one of the HTC Euro RUU files.
Is there any way to tell which to get?
And I have read the links. Most of it doesnt work so trying the RUU

Just managed to get the buttons working. So doing a restore to see how that goes. Then will try RUU

Will be the right one i think.
In common it depends on in which country or from which provider you bought it.
Sry, in some special cases (mostly related to alpharev/revolutionary) they don't, but for others they worked very well

Nice what was it?

Dont know how the buttons were fixed. Just rebooted and they worked. Restore didnt work.
RUU just completed and screen not responding still. Looks like dead touch screen.
Hopefully carphonewarehouse wont notice the s-off

Which provider of which country are you using?
Is the screen now responding?

Its talkmobile uk.
Phone is not branded.

Could you choose your provider at initial setup?
Which network type are you using, is the apn set the right way?
Have you tried searching for networks within the settings?

Phone wont boot after root

So i used my xtc clip to s off an inspire and tried installing clockwork and SU but clockwork gave me an SU error. So i loaded the acehack and tried that, then i ended up getting the soft brick, so i flashed the ruu and it seemed to flash fine but now the phone wont turn on it just charges.

Out of nowhere it just turned on and started vibrating while connected to charger. It wont turn on still when i try.

Have you started with the easiest fix by pulling out the battery & waiting a minute & putting it back in, then try to power on the phone.
Sent from my Inspire4G using xda premium

yes left it out for 5 mins

Can you get into bootloader or fastboot
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

left battery out overnight and tried turning on again no go
no fastboot or bootloader
removed all cards and still will not power on

phone was left unplugged with battery inserted, just this moment it is now showing the htc logo and continuously vibrating
thats very weird, i dont think its bricked i think its faulty
turning it off does not work, i have to remove the battery

Does it allow you to get into the bootloader by pressing power and - volume at all?

Sounds like you have a corrupt hboot (or ENG hboot on a late model Inspire). You need to get the stock hboot on it and it's not trivial. Try jumping into our irc channel and hopefully we can get you straightened out:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria

I had a similar situation happen to me. I was able to get into hboot after running hack kit but when it goes to reboot it takes about 10 minutes to finally come back on and does the same as described above. it comes on by itself finally while vibrating for about 2 minutes. after that it will come back up. i have even been able to flash custom roms to it with the only hitch that i can't reboot normally. i still just have to wait til it comes back up on its own. Very inconvenient, but still works. any ideas?

Make a nandroid of your current rom(if it's what you llike/want to use), run the RUU to restore factory config and dl the newest version of the hack kit and reroot it. Once done, restore your nandroid that you made earlier.
ATTN1 made a version of the HK w/ ENG-HBOOT that was discovered to cause very slow boots an pulled it down, the latest version should boot normally upon completion.

thank you for the info. i'll post back when i try to reroot and install ruu

i ended up warranty exchanging my phone, attn was helping me but i think mine was too fubared

[Q] No android 4.x version works on my device

Hey all, how you doin?
I recently bought a used Desire S in very good (almost as new) condition, since a car drove over my last one and smashed it two years ago. I simply love this phone so I just had to get another one. It was factory locked, s-on, no sim-lock etc.
Bootloader stats at the moment (after unlock, s-off, downgrades and upgrades) are:
*REVOLUTIONARY*
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-7.00.1002
RADIO-3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot
Aug 22 2011, 15:22:13
My problem is following:
On my older device I had CM7 running, no problems whatsoever. On my newer Desire S, CM7 works just fine as well, but I simply can't flash CM10.1, 10.2 or 11 successfully. Flashing itself works just fine (I use 4EXT v1.0.0.6 RC1), but after the first reboot it always gets stuck at the white screen with the green HTC logo. I also flashed the boot.img files for each rom, also tried without flashing them. Tried factory resets after installations, before. I tried full wipe (all except SD), I tried normal wipe, nothing works. When I install stock 2.3.3 RUU with sense (2.10.401.5), it works just fine. When I update to 4.0.4 RUU, installation completes successfully, but then reboots and gets stuck at the white screen again. I don't even get boot loops or don't even see the CM logos. It seems like my device doesn't accept any android 4 version.
Does anyone know what could cause this? I'm searching for days and can't find anything.
Thanks.

Maybe you have HITACHI screen panel. Check this out

And yes, this seems to have been the problem all along. I do have a Hitachi panel. I followed the instructions as stated in the first link, downloaded a compatible kernel to flash after the flashing of my rom and gapps. Then came the reboot, again stuck at the white screen but it seems as if the rom boots normally, just the white htc screen doesn't go away. The screen turns off after half a minute, but pushing the power button it turns on again (as if I unlock). When I put my finger on the screen, I hear the button sounds as if I was typing in the PIN, it also vibrates. So it's like the screen is just there and hides everything behind it. Any ideas why?

The thing is, there doesn't seem to be anything that's loading. It looks like the rom booted up normally, up to the "enter pin" screen, waiting for me to enter the pin. Which I can't do since the htc logo is still in front of it. Took the battery out a couple of times, flashed anew also, tried another release, too. Nothing works. I left it for over half an hour to see if anything chances, the screen just goes out after a minute as if the rom is there. Pushing the power button lights the screen up again (phone doesn't go out when the screen goes off). Maybe a different rom?

Tried, didn't boot at all. I can't stand seeing that HTC logo screen over and over again.
I can't help but wondering why it doesn't go away after flashing CM10+kernel, since it
seems to boot normally. Except I don't see it behind the white screen

OK, just flashed Balele V2.1 ROM, with the kernel for 4.0 version and it works!
So if anyone should ever have the same problem, here's a solution!
