Stuck in ROM upgrade - quick help appreciated

[caius112]

So guys I've read every instruction carefully, and decided to install unsigned HardSPL on my Diamond.

What happened was that by the time I clicked 'yes' to run enterbootloader.exe on the phone, the PC has already displayed some error message about not being able to reach the phone, with an 'exit' button as the only possibility.

My phone is now hooked up to the PC, displays a black screen (with backlight on), but it seems that none of the processes related to HardSPL are running on my PC. Its been well past 10 minutes.

What do I do? Simply unplug the thing and push the reset button? Or has harm already been done? I truly hope not, since my PC hasnt uploaded a bit of data to the phone.

Well I got impatient and just pushed the damn reset button and it seems everything is in working order. Did I soil my pants. Anyway I think I'm gonna give up flashing as I see lots of people on here who followed instructions yet bricked their phones.

Hi Caius

Help can sometimes take a while before being answered.
Don't expect someone to answer your question within 10 minutes and then just drop the entire issue.

Now, one of the things I'm nissing in your story, is did you hook up with active sync?
and which file did you use to flash your phone?

otherwise, if you don't feel comfortable flashing your phone, don't.
your phone should be fun to have, and not be stress related.

(although I remember the rush I had the first time I flashed, fun fun fun)

If you look at the edit time, you can see it wasn't 10 minutes but 30 :)
Anyway, yes I did hook up with active sync. Nevertheless, I'm not even sure if my phone is a CDMA or GSM one - I've heard that if I have a SIM card its gotta be GSM, but wikipedia says CDMA phones use a CSIM as well :S
