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.

Dear Folks at XDA,
I would like to ask for you help with my HTC Touch Pro 2. I recently tried to update it to the new AthineOS CHome TF3D WM6.5 Manila ROM v 1.0 and unfortunately I failed.
The problem is that my phone now freezes at the black startup screen with the Touch Pro 2 logo and the red codes at the bottom.
I've flashed the ROM several times before and never got this issue.
Due to the fact that the phone doesn't finish the boot-up and I thus I can't get ActiveSync I'm afraid I messed up my phone for ever.
Please someone tell me I got a way out of this, I'd appreciate it very much.
Greetz,

umm.... I don't think you can change the firmware just yet on the CDMA version of the phone... if you used a HardSPL that's available in the Rhodium forums then you probably used a GSM specific ROM on your CDMA phone... not sure what to tell you other than making sure you read the CDMA forum before trying something so risky. Best solution, unless someone knows how fix your phone in it's current state, is to toss it under your car and run it over and try to cash in on the insurance.
Problem solved!
Hey guys,
I got my HTC Touch Pro 2 functioning again. Thought I'd post the solution for other people who might encounter the same issue. I don't exactly know what the problem was. I'm assuming a non-compatible ROM or something, but after opening 30 tabs in my browser and reading my eyes out I found that if you put your phone into bootloader mode and connect it through usb to your computer you can flash the ROM without using activesync.
So I turned my phone off, pressed the power and Volume Down button simultaneously and then used the Stock ROM upgrade software from HTC to restore my phone
This solution beats the hell outta "run it over and try to cash in on the insurance" if I say so myself!

I am glad you have recovered the beautiful device; and thanks for sharing a working solution.

You just saved my life!!!
Don't get our hopes up! This is the wrong forum. CDMA TP2s can't be flashed at all yet.
This was a life saver post so a quick bump for anyone that needs it.
I unlocked my CDMA phone, installed a few roms -- decided to go back to my stock rom default (which was Telus) -- reinstalled and bam -- bricked.
Well, technically it's not a brick if you can get back into the bootloader to reflash. So no worries everyone. If everyone reads instructions well enough we should hopefully see zero "real" bricks. Or at most, just enough to only build bbq pit rather than a house.
I think my phone is truly bricked
I was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <Verizon>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker (I thought it would be fine), but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.
The one odd thing that it does though, is when I connect it to my computer, it pops up and my computer recognizes there is a device there. In my Device Manager there is an unknown device called: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I have tried every combination of two buttons, including holding down the reset button with all of them, but nothing gets me anywhere.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. Let me know if you need any more information.
my cdma is rebooting endlessley i reflashed stock rom and evorything. it seriously dosnt want to work. its most sadness... i am cashing in on the insurence. but they are going to send me a refurb..
spend 600$ on a phone got inurnce i hope the used one dosnt fail me.

I did the same exact thing to mt TP2. Same outcome.
We have to learn somehow....
That stinks man. If you did, then your phone is truly bricked. You are going to have to get a replacement or switch to another phone because there is nothing you can do to get it going again. I tried everything possible and eventually just ordered a replacement. I have it now and it's working beautifully, but needless to say I am a little scared away from any more unlocking or flashing for a while.
If you read carefully you dont have to be scared of flashing
I was a noob some time ago but before doing anything I took care of reading and understanding before doing nothing.
lesson learned
By now I have flashed more than 60 times on 3 diferent HTC devices and all were a succes
Hope you get your TP2 working again!
I hope I can get there
Someday I hope to be a flashing expert, but until then I will take it slow and read carefully. Thanks for your encouragement. When I actually get money to pay for the unlock for my TP2, I will let you know how flashing goes.
How do you keep the phone in bootloader? Mine goes right to the press volume instuction screen. Other than that I'm stuck on the black name screen,also my usb will not register in device manager. This was my first try at flashing.

Holy hell, you're not lying. Thanks for coming back to post your solution!
This post saved me at least a few hours of frustration and ever worsening decision making.
So it's totally true???
this situation hasn't solution;
I was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <SPRINT>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker (I thought it would be fine), but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked.

i have the same problem. is there a way to save my phone?
Hello Forums,
OK, for starters, I am a total newbie to phone unlocking/rooting/modding/ect. And it has started out on a sour note. A few days ago, my mother gave me her old Mytouch 4g that she didn't need anymore so I could test ROMs out on and just generally experiment with it. So, excited, I turned off the phone and went to bed. When I woke up the next day, eager to start testing with the phone, to my dismay, I couldn't power on the phone, nor could I boot into recovery mode, or do ANYTHING for that matter. Confused, I plugged the phone into my PC. and to my absolute horror, the computer "Could not find the correct drivers for device 'QHSUSB_DLOAD' ". Now remember, I haven't so much as touched the phone before now, and I really doubt that my mom was playing around with the bootloader at work. So why the heck is it id'ng itself as a Qualcomm Hi-Speed USB device? Since I'm a noob, I wanted to consult people who actually know what they're doing before I tried anything, So what do you guys think I should do? :crying: Remember, this phone has never been messed with, it has everything stock from the factory loaded on it. P.s, this isn't the HTC version, this one is made by LG, the serial is LGE739. If you need any more info just ask me. Many thanks guys!
Recently i got myself my first smarthphone (yay!) it wasn't a very good one though GT-S6102: 290 MB ram and pretty small and can barely do anything. I always kept off from the Rooting stuff and getting other roms stuff since i was scared of messing up but after a while i got really curious (and bored) and decided to root my phone - success!. No issues, nothing. Then i decided to install a new rom to see how much of a performance boost it can give you, but... there the problems started... i turned on my phone - everything went fine but when i tried to click on the android dude that shows up when you turn your phone on for the first time - nothing happened... I thought, okay. Maybe it's just a bad ROM or something, so i removed the Battery to turn the phone off and installed another ROM - same results. I was starting to get scared because i knew that i have no warranty anymore because of the root. I installed quite a few different ROMs - same results. I started googling the problem but couldn't find much and i decided to get my old ROM back - i used something called Odin for that and yeah! i successfully got back my good 'ol rom, yet the touchscreen remains unresponsive. So my question is - is this even fixable? Or did i screw my phone in just 5 days? I really hope that there is a fix to that.
Also if replying i would recommend to explain it on a noob level because i'm pretty bad with these things as i'm new to them.
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
There is a chance you can get yourself up and running but it is possible that some hardware got borked
But this doesn't always mean you can't send it in for warranty, to find out more it is best to ask your question in a thread dedicated to your device, you will find a great q&a thread here

Best of luck!

Hi Folks
Thanks for the time at visiting this thread, and I'm offering 2 beers as a part of my appreciation, should someone be able to help me getting the phone to a state, where a system can be flashed.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (GT-I8190), which is now in a hard-bricked state, where the only gasp of life, is the notorious drill from the vibrator, as the phone seems to try and start-up, every 2 seconds. No Screen, light, or anything else.
The story behind is, that while having stock android, it started to spontaneously restart and go into a boot loop, until attached to a charger.
First every 7 days, then 3 days, then once a day, before it was several times a day.
I decided to root it, and install CM 11, and that wasn't without it's quirks, but flashed it became.
I noticed that the problem was still there, and there where some apps force closing all the repeatedly, so I went into TWRP that was flashed together with CM 11, and wiped data, and did a complete system factory setting.
I pushed the reboot to system button, and the next thing I remember, is that it vibrates, and nothing more, which is what it does every 2 second. When I leave it discharged for a while, and try to turn it on the first time, then it sounds like it "tries" the best, as there are 4 seconds between the vibrations, and then it goes as usual....
I suspect that I have manage to damage the boot loader somehow, and it can't either go in download mode, nor system "aka" Hard Bricked.
I have been looking around at the site, and have seen guides for other phones, where the boot loader is put on an micro SD card, and then revived that way.
Any help/method to get this phone into a usable state is widely appreciated, and once again, thanks for taking your time to read this!
