[SOLVED][HELP]Dead PDA - please help

[gabib77]

I had a small problem:

I want to upgrade ROM from 1.35.401.3 to 1.93.401.2...

I download the official .exe from HTC:
Diamond-QMR-RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship

using the S/N from the back of my PDA

... it work till 34%, then it appears UPDATE ERROR:284


"ERROR [262, 276, 284, 302] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.

Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.

Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode."

What do you recommend to do?

I repeated the process 5 or 6 time, the same stop, at 34% and even recovery is useless

Please help...

there are a couple of things you can try...

1st off, put the phone in bootloader mode (hold "volume down" button and press reset with pen) then flash using a windows XP machine with no running services such as Anti Virus/firewall etc.

if not, try hard SPL developers edition, and then flashing it...

That would be impossible in bootloader mode using the current toolchain.
The Hard SPL uses a soft SPL that has to be loaded into RAM from within Win CE.
This Soft SPL forces the device to think that it's CID unlocked, and letting the actual Hard SPL flash to the device.

Maybe a hard reset would help:

Which OS did you use to upgrade from?

Have you tried to use a PC with XP (proffesional) with activesync 4.5 installed?
if all fails:
-kill wcecomm.exe on the PC (with taskmanager) (or disable activesync)
-put Diamond into bootloader..
-Run the official RUU again.
(worked for me on other devices too.. ;) )

Hi gabib77.
As long as you can get the coloured bootloader screen all is not lost, you can still flash your Diamond in the bootloader mode, i.e run the rom update from your PC as normal.

I would first suggest you reflash back to the original rom, try here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399680, I am not sure what the "QMR" info you stated on the upgrade rom means, but the second link from the HTC Diamond ROM's List is for the WWE version (1.35.401.3 WWE)
If you cannot flash your Diamond in bootloader mode, then try a hard reset first as mentioned on this thread first.
If you all goes ok then go to http://modmydiamond.info/ for more info on flashing.
Good luck.

I solved the problem... my problem happened because I try to upgrade from 1.35.401.3 to 1.93.401.2...

I put the official 1.37.401.2, then I upgraded to 1.93.401.2 WWE and everything is perfect now...

Thanks everyone for the help
