My friend is trying to unlock her phone. She clicked next on the diamond unlocker.. It went to tri colored screen and said error. She says its till in the tri colored screen


EDIT: Okay it says securty unlocked but just sits there and will not restart.

Re: Imediate help. Please
 

<p>unplug it, replug it in and run the unlocker again...</p>

does it say cmonex on the screen?

Re: Imediate help. Please
 

okay it does say security unlocked though. so just try again?

Re: Imediate help. Please
 

Yes. It just will not restart.

Re: Imediate help. Please
 

hit the reset button in the back

Re: Imediate help. Please
 

alright. I told her to upgrade to your ROM by the way lol.

So, after that re-run the unlocker?

Re: Imediate help. Please
 

nope... phone is unlocked now. no need to re run it... just flash my rom and thats it. nothing more =)

unlocker only needs to be run once

Re: Imediate help. Please
 

Sweet man. Posted pre-maturely i suppose but I was freekin out more because its not my phone. Alright im bout to tell her to download 4.2 thanks a lot mighty

Re: Imediate help. Please
 

We started to update Mighty ROM and got the following error...


ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

Re: Imediate help. Please
 

I get that sometimes as well. you may need to just repeat process. unplug, take the battery out for few seconds, put it back in, make sure it restarts normally, wait until it is completely up again, give it a minute or so. then hook her up to active sync again and reflash. (i got this error twice tonight and it isnt a big deal) good luck.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Alrigth sweet. I was freakin out lol.

the error happend again. Could this be happening because the unlocking proccess didnt go so smooth?

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

No problem man. I freaked as well when I got this but followed the recovery process in active sync and everything was cool. I notice I get this error if I am flashing and leave the phone hooked up after it resets. I have recently been disconnecting and establishing a new sync which seems to be the ticket. Obviously only disconnecting after the flash is complete:)

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

](*,)Okay she got the error again. She reset it with the USB still atached.](*,)\


Mabye this will work now.. I told her to disconnect it from battery and usb. and we are bout to try again.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

okay, when you get this error, make sure to read the recovery tab listed. It should tell you to disconnect the device, take battery out for 3 seconds, put it back in and restart. it should restart normally not in bootloader screen (tricolor). if its normal, then plug it back it, establish active sync which means it should ask you to sync or cancel. You can still use active sync without by selecting cancel. that is what I do.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Good okay. She followed the steps. She has vista and WMD center so do i and mine never asked me, but I will ask her if it pops up.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

sorry, I'm on xp so the process may be different. You should do a quick search in the diamond forum for vista and there should be a bunch of good information. vista is a pain in the butt.

try this tread for starters:

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

okay... she tired again and its still giving an error.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

ive had problems using vista to flash. whenever im flashing with my phone connected to a computer i use xp.

the easiest way to flash your phone is from internal storage, hands down. take the .nbh file from mightyrom or whatever rom youre trying to flash. copy this file to the root of your internal storage. then, rename this file DIAMIMG -exactly like that. then push and hold volume down, back arrow, and power button, while pressing the stylus into the reset button and hold it there as well. once you hold all of these down for a couple seconds, follow the on screen prompts. once it says Completed, just soft reset.

its the easiest, safest way to flash

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

try searching the threads. I listed one above that may help. also, you can enter bootloader and flash that way. getting the phone in bootloader instructions are on the first page in this thread:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062 check number 13.

13. You can check that it is Unlocked by entering the Bootloader (Power+VolumeDown and hold down Reset)(Locked and Unlocked)

i assume her phone is unlocked already. if not, it will not flash.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Yeah. I have never had this problem lol. This is ridiculous.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

you try what i said? ive never had a problem flashing that way...and trust me i have been frustrated as **** sometimes while trying to flash my phone


and hey- enter bootloader by hitting power and vol down + soft reset. tell me if you see cmonex up there

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

We are in the process of doing that. Her phone is definitely unlocked. We just checked it.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

yeah, then it is the drivers on the vista computer. ive just never even tried finding the right ones (although i know theyre somewhere probably pretty easy to find). i dont have a need to find them cuz i just flash from internal storage cuz its just better

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Ah. yeah. Mine does great on my PC although I use conflipers ROM and he has it set up different than mike.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

yeah, cons rom is the best ive found for the diamond. ive tried all i possibly could.


..i still flash his from internal storage tho!

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Lol nice. Okay. Well she held the power + back buton + down volume + reset. It took her to a screen that says loading and it seems to be stuck or actually loading. Im not sure.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

holding those buttons should take you to a screen that says press power button to update rom image, or something along these lines. you gotta follow that and hit the power button.

next should just be a blue loading type bar, and after a minute or two it should load and say completed. then you need to just soft reset.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Im starting to think we really messed up on the unlocking... The bar doesn't move at all.

... but the screen said security unlocked.

Read the first posts. We had some issues. And i think that is what the problem is. If we re-run the unlocker would it work or hurt it?

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

i would think you want to first relock, then try to unlock it again and see if the unlock goes smoothly. since it seems like the phone is registering itself as being unlocked, although something might have gone wrong during that process.

and make sure youre running the right unlocker. the hard spl unlocker for cdma.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

We are. its in the CDMA thread at least. Unlocking and re locking tutorial.

Im bout to give up for tongiht.....

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

well if its possible for you... you might want to try relocking and then unlocking the phone from an xp computer and see if that changes anything. im trying to remember how i did mine, and i think i ended up using my laptop because using xp was easier

and use this thead for unlocking http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839



i think its possible you might have unlocked using the soft spl unlocker. which, i think, is not a permanent unlocker. ive never used an sspl so i dont know. but i do know that you want to unlock your phone with an hpsl- hard spl unlocker

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

okay I used the link in this thread. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

well from what he has in there, it looks like its sspl. i tried downloading that diamondunlocker.rar but when i click it, it brings me to the ftp but no files are even there. so i dont even know what he is trying to say to use to unlock the phone.

i think that thread might be a little outdated/need some changes.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

okay so use the HSPL?

alright i will relock using his thing and give her the hspl unlocker

i used his stuff for my phone :)

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

yeah try the hspl. but before you do it, make sure its relocked.

and if you can, it might be worth trying to do it on an xp computer. i just say this cuz of how my vista comp seems to connect and recognize my phone only when it wants to.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Alright...well i just discovered. active sync wasnt even recognizing the device because no partnership was established... so we will see.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Did you try forcing to bootloader mode, and flash from there? That usually works.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

When I had to unlock my second Diamond I had to copy the NBH file from the unlocker into the RUU of a ROM. It was only after I flashed using that technique that my phone became unlocked.

When I tried unlocking with the RUU that comes with the Diamond unlocker the progress bar during flashing stayed at 0 and then went to an error message and the recovery process. It still said it was unlocked but It wouldn't allow me to flash ROMs.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Hey guys, I had this same error 262 problem a few weeks ago and indagroove helped me restore my phone. See the following thread. Hope this helps.

Re: Help again please: Mighty ROM failed to update
 

Mike gave you bad info when he told you to continue... your phone is yet to be unlocked like these last few have said.

Security Unlocked has nothing to do with what you want.
