Wow I'm even more upset at this vBulletin than my phone right now... I just typed a HUGE reply to this, hit submit and the entire thing was wiped out. My "time expired."
Without retyping the entire 6 paragraphs I'll just make it simple and short. I recently left the world of wireless and dealing with PDA phones every day for 3 different carriers. I've flashed more phones than most people have seen and have never had these kind of problems. Don't sit there and assume because I'm having issues that I'm doing it wrong. My wireless extent was over 14 years, thanks for assuming I'm some idiot with a laptop and usb cable who thinks hes a l33t hax0r or something.
And what is this? How about the last smart phone I still have laying around that I used... Flashed with windows mobile 6.1 from Helmis kitchen, a rom which as you can see... I did myself. Thanks.
See my name in there? Elesjuan.
And what is this????? My touch diamond with windows mobile 6.1 from Sprint OEM rom?????
Yes, I put the phone in boot loader and managed to get the OEM flashed back onto it. I don't want the OEM ROM, I want what MightyRom has to offer, a coworker has it on his touch diamond and brother has it on his Touch Pro.
When I flashed my diamond I followed the directions and everything appeared to work. What happens is when the phone boots you calibrate the touch screen, it loads the custom applications then reboots. Now, on the second boot it does one of three things: Sits at the TouchDiamond boot screen with version info until the end of time (literally 2+ hours and did nothing...), boots into windows and does the ENTIRE setup all over again, or boots into windows and *appears* to work.
Now, if it gets into windows where its pretending to work here is what happens: It seems to work just fine! Until you use it. Open file manager and attempt to browse a directory, the phone locks up. Let it sit for 40 minutes and its still sitting there. Soft reset with the stylus or pull the battery you're back to square one! Either won't boot at all or starts the setup process ALL OVER AGAIN!
I've tried with 3 different computers and 3 different downloads of MightyRom and get the exact same results.
Why I hate the OEM ROM:
Unplug the phone @ 8am and its dead before noon. Three brand new batteries and thats the way it goes. Make sure navigation, any location based services, activesync, push email, EVERYTHING IS TURNED OFF!
The phone when I first got it would charge on *
ANY* USB cable and 5 volt usb power source... JUST LIKE all my previous phones. Now it'll charge (and only SOMETIMES) on the single charger and usb cable that was shipped with the phone. There is nothing wrong with the charging port, it sycns with the computer and *pretends* to charge while hooked up to the computer.
It'll power on while in your pocket and turn thermonuclear! Seriously thought one day it was actually going to burn me through my slacks!
Touch screen response is complete ****. Coworkers Touch Diamond w/MightyROM touch response is perfect, spot on, and very fast. Hell my 6700s touch response is faster than my diamond!!
Thanks to those who have actually tried to help instead of sit there and criticize me. The purpose of my thread wasn't to bash MightyRom and I'm sorry that I did I'm just really frustrated...
Suggestions?
