HTC Diamond Stuck load screen, can't hard reset not working

[klf965]

This is for everyone else that may spend as many hours as I did trying to fix my HTC Diamond with Sprint service.

I have concluded that I must have flashed a GSM Rom, as I learned ppcgeeks is 99% CDMA, while XDA-developers is 85% GSM.

Diamond kept stalling in reboot then resetting on its own. Could not get past black screen with HTC Diamond writing. Tried hard reset, power+vol down+circle (enter key) hold all then push stylus in soft reset. Didn't work. Now here is your golden ticket that took me multiple hours of searching to find ~ Simply not pushing enter (circle button) hard enough to get to load back into boot screen. Pushed all buttons really hard - badabing - boot screen. Loaded juicy rom, working great.
Cheers!

What would help even more than this is if users would simply fill out their:

Pocket PC: HTC Vogue
Carrier: Sprint

Information in their profile. That way....folks that like to help you can help you! Guess what the first couple of questions are?

Hi,

My sprint htc diamond screen is not working anymore and it has a security lock code. Thus, I cant access it anymore. I tried doing a hard reset and it did not change anything, I still cannot access the phone because the touch screen is not responding.
Please help

When posting there is another small selection window to the left of the Subject/title area in which you can select to flag your message CDMA, GSM and Carriers as well as other options.. I think you used that option in your message..

i dont think we need to make this site cdma only if gsm users wanna post here so be it.

its up to the user to read and use there brain to figure out what they have and what they need before flashing a rom.

not ppcgeeks problem.

well i mean when you go into the store and buy something its up to you to know what you need so you buy the correct thing. you cant just walk up grab the first thing you see not read and expect it to the the right thing lol

finding a rom is like getting a product in a store. you go in you brows you find one thats compatible for what your doing and will work for you. and then you get said rom.

WOW ~ First time posting in any forum to help, last time too. Not everyone lives and breathes this stuff, for some it is just a passion that obviously you would like to squash. Sorry for the informality.

Sorry for the informality. LITERALLY FIRST TIME POSTING IN ANY SITE. I prefer to think the AVERAGE user needs help too. Not the all KNOWING. And you want me to donate???????????????

There are many people who put a lot of hard work in creating these ROMs, hacks, apps, tweaks, etc. The site itself costs money to run. You should be happy that a resource like this actually exists rather than criticize it so childishly.

Anyhow, I wouldn't mind seeing sub forums in the upgrades section for GSM and CDMA with carrier lists or perhaps a little FAQ thread clarifying how to figure out whether you're GSM or CDMA.
