Re: HOW TO: Recover a Diamond that won't get past the boot screen! (Instructions)

Basically, I can only flash a ROM via internal storage, via bluetooth.

After flashing Calkulin's 6.5, having it successfully boot once, I'm now stuck on the HTC screen. I can enter bootloader/perform a hard reset/etc. It just won't boot. I don't have any other ROM files on my internal storage other than the one I flashed. Is there any possible way to put another ROM on the internal storage? And if not that, does anyone know if HTC will repair a water-damaged phone?

Oh and first post here, hi. This is for my brother's phone, you can catch me at the XDA Dream forums.
Have you tried reflashing the same ROM from internal storage? Sometimes a bad flash can be resolved this way. Then, you can AS through bluetooth or just download a new ROM to the internal storage. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else you can do.

Much thanks from a newb.
Glad the instructions helped!
