Flashing to wrong ROM

[Paveway98]

I'm seeing some very strange behaviour with my Diamond when I flash from the Internal Storage. It worked fine for quite a few flashes, but I tried to flash yesterday and despite copying the Diamimg.nbh file to the internal storage, reflashing went back to the ROM that was previously installed not the new one!

I can reflash from my PC successfully, but trying to do it from the internal storage doesn't work.

Has anyone had this problem before? Is there a fix?

Never had a problem flashing from Internal Method.

Are u sure u followed all the steps including a hard reset right the installation?

Internal Method Steps:

1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache

Try this again.........& let me know how it goes :)

Just realised that I've been being a little thick and pressing the vol down and 'select' button. I'm off to go and have a quiet word with myself!

Doh!

Thanks.
