HELP!!! I bricked my diamond

[todaytoo]

I cannot get past the start up screen! I have the CDMA diamond used
HSPL057 and attempted to update to SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 (FULL) And now it will not go past the boot up screen!! What can I do?

[-Mr. X-]

you installed a GSM rom.


you need to do more reading.

1) Reading would have told you the differences between the devices and would have informed you you need hte correct one for your device.

2) you're not the only one who has done this if you do a search you will find how to recover from this issue.

3) i cant stress enough to read first do later. it helps you prevent situations like this.

The instructions said it was for SPRINT CDMA devices, that is what I have- I have searched all through out these posts and cannot find out how to recover from this. Can you please help if you know how?

Hi todaytoo.
Don't worry if you can get the bootloader screen just re flash a CMDA ROM from these Diamond forums.
(enter Bootloader by pushing the reset button while holding volume down key on the side)
Hope this helps ya out.

Once in bootloader mode connect to your PC via usb lead, wait for drivers to load, then
run a CDMA ROM.

Thank you so much for your quick help. I am downloading this right now. So once I download, connect via activesync, run the ROM and I should be back in business?

Fingers crossed yes...
Read all the posts from the CDMA ROM page to get feedback and questions answered etc, and do a little more research via the "Search this forums" button before posting a query.
I guess we all started as XDA newbie's, so don't worry.

Just 2 questions I think this was a good example.

Where is the CDMA Rom page?

What ROM exactly did you install? (todaytoo)

[todaytoo]

ok, im at the bootload screen...I can connect to active sync. I downloaded the CDMA ROM it came in .rar format I changed to it .exe at when i run the ROM it does not do anything....

[todaytoo]

Is there a trick that im not doing?

[psudo]

renamed a .rar file to an .exe :eek: ...new to computing?
You need to unpack/extract the rar file, just like a zip file.
Use winrar, when extracted all the goodies will be revealed!

Dude, search a bit in the forum for things!!

[mugglesquop]

it wont find it on Activesync, as your phone is not booted into Windows Mobile, so therefore is not in activesync either!

just connect ur phone, once it says "USB" you know it is connected, then run ROM.
