Flashed, Automatically Configures, Reboots then Hangs (various roms)
 

getting right to the point: i cant flash back to stock rom without it hanging on the bootscreen after the autoconfiguration is completed..

now all little more details on my current issue: so ive followed the "HOW TO: Recover a Diamond that wont get past the boot screen (Instructions) however that isnt the exactly problem i am having.. ive mainly been using, actually i only use "MightyRoms" i installed the latest Juicy just to sorta try out WM6.5 cause i figured it woudnt be all the great nad if i had any issues i would just reflash stock then back to MightyRom.. well wm6.5 obviously is a no go so i flashed back to stock where it flashed, booted, did its autoconfiguration then after the reboot it would freeze with that red text on the bottom.. ive tried using different roms including the Sprint Stock Rom, HTC's latest Sprint Rom Update, and even the latest Groove Rom.. the only ones that dont hang are Mightys Reborn and MightyRom 4.8 which i am currently using, however ive been using 4.8 since it was released but now im am getting freezes at least twice a day where reboots are the needed fix, ive never had the 4.8 freezes before.. my only 4.8 problem in the past was that occational silent ringer issue that rarely happened but now is constant..

intermittent issues: sometimes after flashing a rom during the autoconfiguration it would freeze in no particular section where i would have to hard reset, set to default and the autoinstaller would start up again and complete but then the freeze would happen after the next start up with the red text on the bottom..

thanks for any advice given

Maybe it's your autoinstalled items.

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

but those are part of the roms, its those files that after the rom is installed u get that msg saying your device will be configured in 3 seconds then everything start installing

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

Hey! I've had this happen. The only thing I KNOW you can do is to just keep flashing your stock over and over again until it sticks, installs, and boots correctly.

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

okay, ill give that one a shot.. ive been doing that but mixing the roms.. ill do the stock around 5x's, ill post results after.. thanks

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

I've formatted my internal storage and have shipped Telus installed. I"m going to install Mystery and see if it sticks!

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

having the same problem and trying to install stock sprint to see if it cures it. Hopefully this works!

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

so far i have flashed my phone five times with the stock rom.. its loads and does that whole your device will be configured in 3 seconds.. does its thing and after the reboot i just hangs on the red txt screen.. ill give it a go around 3 more times to see if there are any changes but its not lookin to groovy

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

Mine stuck! Took 2 tries. Keep tryin toenail! Goodluck!

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

yeah still no mayo.. i dont understand why its boots the first time but after the configuration files are added it hangs... but ill keep ya posted!

UPDATE: tried flashing using an older GrooveRom i had saved on my pc and that was a success as well.. so as of now stocks roms wont load but MightyROM and GrooveROM do.. hmmmm?

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

When you flash to stock, you don't need to go any further that the "tap here to setup windows" (or whatever) screen. When you get there, you can reflash from that screen. You may wanna try flashing to that screen a few times. Also, make sure you are flashing a ship rom, and not some rebag that is OS only.

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

Ugh I'm having this issue too.. Seems to only happen when I try and get Juicy 7 Rom working.

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

IMO this is probably a problem of RTFM. I know all these roms are you guys are talking about are winmo 6.5 and I've read many many MANY places that it's "suggested" that you flash to a stock rom before flashing to any of these 6.5 roms. Although I myself have never had this issue what I would do would be

1./ Copy a stock rom to the internal storage of my memory card and rename it to DIAMIMG.nbh.
2./ Do a full hard reset on the rom already installed and then pull the battery
3./ pop the battery in and turn the phone back on while holding the volume down? and back key to flash the stock rom from my internal storage and then see if that fixes it.


Other than that I would probably just grab like ppckitchens kit and build a stripped rom and try flashing that. I would probably also at the same time have called my provider (telus) telling them that there's a problem with my phone and to order a swap unit for me and to call me when it get's in so I can come pick it up. If it turns out to be something you can fix yourself you can always tell them it was user error and the problems been resolved.

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

I do that routinely (except for step 2) every third flash or so, and haven't had any issues (that I didn't cause in the rom build) for a long time.

When I first started working with 6.5 builds it was a nightmere though.

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

Reproduced the problem flashing TO simplerom FROM ultralite lxe. PPC hangs after rebooting after running customizations. Copy of Ultralite lxe on the storage card/clear data and flash solved the issue. Somehow I doubt this particular rom, ultralite lxe, fixed the problem that I was having with my previous rom. I wonder what these roms don't have in common though, perhaps it's just a fluke, perhaps it's device specific. I'm running a diam500/telus touch diamond. Maybe if flashing to a stock rom doesn't help, try flashing to your previously installed rom if you can remember what that was and then stock and then a 6.5 rom. You can do it with the phone fully booted or just entering the boot loader and running the flash util. Never an issue as long as your device powers on I hope ^^

Edit: Grammar

Re: Flashed, AutoInstalled, Reboot then Hangs (various roms)
 

i never had any luck getting past the hang.. the only rom that has worked for me has been mightyrom 4.8 with no freezing issues as of yet.. someone mentioned that they know these roms are winmo 6.5, the only rom that ive used that was 6.5 was that Juicy7, however ive only loaded that rom once and since then every rom that ive loaded has been winmo 6.1, im not going to load a 6.5 rom until an official release starts to circulate instead of a beta.. the one thing i have not tried has been flashing from internal storage.. i think im gonna give that a go and see if i have any luck.. ill keep ya posted

UPDATE: i flashed the rom using the internal hdd with the same results.. so still no fix, even using mightyrom5 beta ive had this same issue.. its a never ending problem here.. damn

Re: Flashed, Automatically Configures, Reboots then Hangs (various roms)
 

the beta rom of mightyrom r3born worked for me so if that one doesnt give me any problems ill just have to stick with this release cause i really cant load anything else.. i really just use mikes roms as it is but testing the mightrom5 would have been nice but like all the others that one froze at the bootup as well..

Re: Flashed, Automatically Configures, Reboots then Hangs (various roms)
 

i've had similar problems, and I've noticed that I only get it when i go from WM6.1 to WM6.5.

6.1 to 6.1 has no issues at all... but everytime i go 6.1 to 6.5 i get the random freezes.

I got MR5 on my phone after 2 attempts... This is how i did it...

Flash to stock... wait for tap to begin screen calibration screen then pull the battery...
wait for it to come up again... then it will connect to Activesync(I dont bother aligning the screen or the customization)., and i flash it to MR5.

Again i wait for the tap to begin screen, and I pull the battery again...
Then I go ahead with the screen alignment.

Re: Flashed, Automatically Configures, Reboots then Hangs (various roms)
 

okay so i tried your steps but first rather than loading MR5 i loaded stock once more to see if that would let me use a stock rom and that was a no go.. so i then followed your steps once more this time trying to load mightyrom5 and that finally worked.. so thank you for your input, once small leap moving forward but fact is its a step fwd.. preciate your help, finally some progress here.. lol

Re: Flashed, Automatically Configures, Reboots then Hangs (various roms)
 

:( i just followed it step by step the only difference was i left the battery out for 12mins rather than 10 mins but i dont think that really mattered.. did every hard reset, basically followed it step by step because i really didnt have any other option and it was a no go.. seriously thanks for your input but unfortunatly my phone may be screwed.. i managed to get MR5 going so thats what ive been using, get random freezing here an there but i think thats cause of my phone and not the rom.. im gonna do another hard reset and see if anything changes but i completed your instructions.. again thanks for your help, im gonna click your thanks button just for taking the time to read this.. take care

Re: Solution
 

If i could be so rude as to suggest also to clear the internal storage of the device if you are still experiencing issues (particularly any of the 6.5 ROMs). Ohh and reflash if necessary back to shipped then to the new rom of your choice. Sorry, forgot to add this as well..

It also worked - was told to do the Hard Reset using the buttons method rather than the Clear Storage (1234) method.

So for clarification I has having no end of issues:

1. No end of issues with anything but stock rom
2. Cleared both internal and device storage
3. Flashed to Shipped
4. At the tap here - Flashed to new rom
5. Hard reset buttons method.
6. Enjoy!

Re: Flashed, Automatically Configures, Reboots then Hangs (various roms)
 

That guide is completely overdone...

If your ROM doesn't work, reflash the same ROM or one you know works from before.

Flashing back to shipped has no advantage over this process unless you've somehow corrupt the Radio or Splash screens.

Re: Flashed, Automatically Configures, Reboots then Hangs (various roms)
 

Quite possibly - but the process worked for me none the less. I think that all of this should be taken as suggestions of things that could possibly fix this particular issue.

Sorry for writing it as a fait a compli

Cheers,

OK I had this very problem. Was almost hopeless and was ready to trash my Diamond. After a long deep breath, I found the "official" ROM for my device, Telus HTC Diamond, not a rebake which another poster suggest as well you avoid then flashed my device with the official stock rom. Did a hard reset and let the phone connect and do it's thing. Seems the phone does all kinds of stuff to go live on your carrier network... Anyway, I then reflashed with the ROM of my choice and so far has been OK touch wood. I tried everything, hard resets, battery out... Oh one step I did do is relock since I was going to take it in for service/replace. So perhaps not perfect process, this did work for me. My only advice my fellow bleed-edge rom users, take you time and you will get yourself back to the ROM of your choice.

:headbang:

i wouldnt say it was overdone.. he was simply stating what has worked for him along with other users.. i appreciate TweAkMaNs advice, so thanks again

Re: Flashed, Automatically Configures, Reboots then Hangs (various roms)
 

i just tried going back to mighty 6.1, and while i love his efforts.. going back to any 6.1 without rhodium is like.. ugh.. 6.5 all the way for me. i got waaayy ttoo used to it.

so tonight this is what im gonna do.

instead of flashing to stock, then to 6.5.. imma flash straight to 6.5 via the computer.
do clearstorage on both internal and rom. then use the computer again to reflash the same rom.. and imma see if theres any issues.

flashing 6.5 from 6.1 stock always seemed to result in hella problems...
but 6.5 to 6.5 i havent tried yet because ive always reverted back to stock.

maybe thats our problems. i dunno.

Re: Flashed, Automatically Configures, Reboots then Hangs (various roms)
 

yeah all these issues started when i went from 6.1 to juicys 6.5 then when i tried going back to 6.1 thats when all this crap started.. hopefully sprint will release a stock 6.5 rom soon, maybe that will end this rut im in
