HardSPL... 0%?!

[esset]

Hiya XDA

I've been trying all evening to get any HardSPL onto my Diamond without success, everytime I try I get to 0% and after a few minutes "error [260] connection" and the phone keeps its' black screen until I soft-reset it.

Can anyone help me get a hardspl onto my phone? I would really like to try WM6.5. I've read many SPL-guides already, so you don't have to point me to them :)

(even that on modmydiamond.info)

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response, but as I said. I've read all stickies and guides, and it's still stuck at 0%.

Did you let your device sync with Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center?
Try recreating the sync pairing.
Try uninstalling the device from PC's Device Manager and reinstalling it and then try recreating the sync partnership.
Try another USB port.

[esset]

Yes, yes, yes and yes. I even tried doing it on my laptop.

Edit: I even tried flashing down to 1.93 with HTCs official stuff, no success there either :(

Another USB cable?
Try manually entering bootloader and connect to PC. The label should say USB not Serial and try from there.

[scottwilkins]

esset,

May I ask what branding/model of the Diamond you own?

I own a pure AT&T model just purchased a week or two ago. And, so far I've also had almost zero luck flashing it. I'm moving from an AT&T Tilt which I've flashed so many times, the USB port is starting to wear down. I've also got a lot of experience with many small computing devices with all types of weird programming and flashing routines, so I'm not a newbie. But the AT&T Fuze just seems to be locked in a way that has yet to be covered by the good XDA folks here. Heck, I can't even dump the shipped ROM off the device to send it here for checking out by the developers. All I've been able to do is flash an odd 1.90 HardSPL that seems to have locked the phone even tighter than before. YUCK!

If you're in this same scenario, I'd suggest patience. Eventually someone with enough knowledge of these devices will be able to help out. It is frustrating though, after flashing the other phone so many times with so many different configurations to be held back on the new one.

[scottwilkins]

Try manually entering bootloader and connect to PC. The label should say USB not Serial and try from there.

You might find this odd. The down-volume + back arrow key combo doesn't seem to work with some of the new versions of the Diamond. I've tried on two of them, and neither respond to this key combo at startup.

Many times entering the bootloader is not a problem though. The routine does cause the phone to go there. And, I can get it there by other means. Just not via the boot up sequence. This tells me there is something very different about these models....

[esset]

I tried starting and flashing directly from the bootloader (showing USB), and the phone got to show a percentage field (the one when you are flashing) but same here, is constantly at 0% until the flashing utility times out and tells me to reboot my phone and guides me through steps if it has been semi-bricked :P (bootloader is the volume down + softreset, right?)

I bought my phone in the first shipment to Sweden, it's not locked to any company, bought it without subscription :)
Else I just flashed it up to latest ROM from htc.com (still no success with HardSPL :() to 2.03.413.2 SVE (02/06/09)
Radio: 1.09.25.23
Version: 52.51.25.26H
ninjaedit: (In the four-colored bootloader thing it says DIAM100 64M SPL-2.03.0000 MicroP-Diam (LED) v11)
Tell me if you need any other info :]

[scottwilkins]

Here's another indication that the new phones are different. I've copied a DIAMIMG.nbh file to both a flash card inside the phone, and to it's internal memory. (sorry, but the thread on that location is confusing on what memory. I assume like most phones of the past that it's supposed to be the flash card, but "internal memory" is not a flash card.) But, the loader screen always responds with "no image file" when it's called up. So, is there a different name expected now?

put manual hardspl into your device, and click to it from your device.. ;)

Hi uhm, was that answer aimed for me or to scottwilkins?
If it was for me, is it possible to flash the mobile directly from the memory-card (or internal flash card)? Else if you mean the "manual make-the-screen-black-and-go-to-bootloader" my screen just goes blank, as when you do it with the RUU, and just stops there. Also seems like it looses the connection via USB doing so too. And flashing through the bootloader directly (volume down at softreset) shows the progressbar on the phone, but steadily at 0% (when trying to flash).

search and download

a) SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe (Desktopprogram)

b) EnterBootloader.exe (ATTENTION: it must be that for diamond, normaly find by flashing-tools)

connect with active sync and copy EnterBootloader.exe to pda-root.

start SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe on desktop and follow all but reset (DONT RESET)

start EnterBootloader.exe on pda

if bootloader-Mode and USB-Label than start flashing

wait for response

I tried what you suggested, I successfully unlocked the phone (and did Not reboot it). Ran the bootloader; and the screen just went black, as usually, and nothing more happens :(

That program makes the Fuze screen just turn black and do nothing. Cool, huh :D

Seems that the newer stock ROMS might be blocking something... hmmmm....

[scottwilkins]

Well, crap!

I just figure out where my whole problem is...

The Fuze (my phone) = The Raphael

NOT the Diamond.

I just scrolled down the forum list, saw a phone that looked like mine and went there. DOH!

I feel like a total dumb-ass. :(

If I'd scrolled just a bit farther down the XDA forum, then I'd seen the Raphael phone.

Holy Cow! Go ahead, say it, I deserve it... ;)

Thanks for all the help otherwise. It was a learning experience for me....

hi,

i think, you have the wrong bootloader.
i find this and try it by me self. this brings your fone definitly to bootloader.
than you can start manualy the hard spl by normal description way.

Thanks, but that file takes me into the bootloader, and when I start flashing the percentage is still at 0% until the software times out. Same as before, just the usual "going-into-the-bootloader".

[okokur]

i have the same problem but i can resolve it in combination with sda_applicationunlock and enterbootloader.

hope, you not to angry to me with so much dont working infos.

make standart installation in this order:

take sim-card out, let battary out from device for 5 minute.
no usb-connect to pc or charger at this time.

load your original provider rom.

put battery back to device. connect active-sync. flash orig. rom.
follow instruction ...

load all hardspls from these sites, one of them have to work with your device.

Thanks for trying to help me; One question before I start trying to flash. Which rom do you mean with "original rom", the one that came with the phone when I bought it, or just HTCs own flash whatever-version?

I'm not mad at you, I'm grateful for trying so hard to help me! :)

[okokur]

:-)
i mean the rom from your provider,
that rom that is on your device when you are buying.

before you start can you say me, if you get by this a positiv message:

pdocread.exe -l (from dos-window by active-sync connect).
you find this in this forum. the parameter is a letter (list) and not number :-)
by unlock you get a list of partitions of your device with much text-lines.
by locking of your device you get only an error-line.
this can help for next step.

Do you know where I can fetch HTCs' 1.37 ROM (if it wasn't an earlier.. I bought the phone about a week after release in Sweden :P)
The only ROM I can find on their site is 1.93 ._.'

[nostromo12]

In august 08 I flashed Olinex 1.30 signed SPL and 1.93 original HTC ROM
Now I tried to flash a new radio, but procedure stucks at colored SPL screen and communication error. Although the radio is orignal HTC I assumed wrong SPL

Then I want to flash Olinex unsigned version. But now the flash stops at black screen and and communication error
No chance....

[okokur]

i think its no problem that you get "only" the never version.

try it, but makes problem use google to find your rom.
i used the "HTC 1.37 ROM +rapidshare" for google and get more than 2000 entries. my problem is my english ... you live in sweden and have a sweden rom or you was on holiday in sweden and bought it (why i think so, i dont know ... it can be the 2000 entries ... noooo :-)

please response (if can, good response please :-)

Hiya, I tried everything you've said until now, but it still just shows 0%, or simply nothing happends after black-screen on the phone. I'm about to go nuts :(

I'm about to go to the store and get a "new" diamond, maybe that would work (still got waranty, *evul laugh*). What do you suggest?

Edit: I also flashed with _HTC Touch Diamond_QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_SVE_1.93.413.3_Radio_S igned_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship before I started (The "oldest" I could find on HTCs site.) I tried flashing with 1.37_europe, but it says I got the wrong phone, and the Diamond just restarts after 1% :P

I tried flashing the rom you got in there, worked fine. Though same problem with the HardSPL, still stuck at 0% whether I start flashing it from bootloader or fully started phone. :(

after flashing you unlocked the phone with sda-unlocker? if yes, than i look for three registry- entries to try for last chance to hardspl'ling your fone.

I just tried different approaches using the SDA_ApplicationUnlock still without success. Which three registry entries do you want me to paste for you?

[okokur]

hello,

at first the keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1001 = 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1005 = 40

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 144

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies\0000101b = 1
(if not exist, than add it please)
more details you find here in forum.

Reset device and control the values. if o.k. try to flash with hardspl.

at second:

you want hardsplling for other roms. could you flash since you have the device other roms or only the update to 2.x and back to 1.x ?

at third:

i forgott it. thinks to long about seconds ...

wait, wait ..:
i will explain you how i solved the same problem but other device than diamond. after i try all the thinks that was exist, the solve was a combination of three things at one time.

ACTIVE SYNC/USB-CONNECT YES --->
NO RESET --->putting EnterBootloader.exe to root, use SDA-Unlock and changing registrie-valuers. NO RESET <---
<--- ACTIVE SYNC/USB-CONNECT YES

disconnect usb, start EnterBootloader.exe from your device (label was serial)


connect usb (label changes to USB)

now start the hardspl...

the sda-unlocker is needed to copy something to your device, that nessesary for the hardspl

Hiya
First fix: Just tried it and it doesn't really change anything, still stuck at 0% (or blackscreen if using the bootloader that comes with Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex).
Second fix: I'm only able to flash the phone back and forth from HTCs official roms, 2.03, 1.97 and 1.93, none else, says I got the wrong phone :P)
Third fix: Same as always, still 0% >_<'

I found something out though. Using the EnterBootLoader found in OliNex's release just sends my diamond to blackscreen, and using the official HTC enterbootloader sends the phone into the bootloader, if that helps. As OliNex's bootloader is about 100 times bigger than HTCs, maybe that has something to do with it.

Edit: I sent my phone in for insurance stuffs, let the little diamond take a quick bath and it just halted :P. We'll see if the new phone will work within a week or two. Thanks for all help okokur though for all the patience! I might open up this thread soon enough :)

[st0kes]

Sorry to dig up an old thread ... but I have a similar problem and this is the closest match I could find using the forum search.

My goal is to update my Touch Diamond to WM6.5, I want to use one of NRGZ28's EnergyROMs.

I've tried following a few guides:

http://gizmodo.com/5281397/how-to-install-windows-mobile-65-right-now
http://selfmod.net/how-to-hard-spl-a-htc-diamond/

And of course this one:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211

I've done the hardSPL bit, which was fine. It is reporting this on the bootloader screen:

(Red Zone)
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.30.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
(Green Zone)
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0×30

Now I am stuck on the Radio bit ... It freezes at 0% and eventually times out ... I've tried a few radios, most recent attempt was 1.00.25.05.

Questions - am I using the right radio? Anything I'm doing wrong? What to try next?

Thanks in advance!
