Bricked htc Touch Diamond - Is it really GOODBYE? - GSM-Forum

wagstafari · 08-16-2009, 13:26

Hi,

I know the chances are slim..

I tried to unlock my touch diamond, using the wrong s/w and not reading up enough!

Now i have a "brick" it does nothing.
I have read about "boot is avilable only via j-tag tracer icd" ive done a lil research on this but not really come up with too much..

DO i just need to forget about my phone (bin it) or is there hope, either using the above method or any other form of black magic !!

I would love to revive my phone as i only had it a few weeks, i miss her greatley

Thanks for any feedback / help with this problem of mine.

unfortunately.. theres not too much to do. Jtag is a HARD, very HARD method, not for advanced or experimented users. is only for PROFESSIONALS..

You don´t explain, how did he became dead. You just say, wrong unlock.
Tell us more, to get more help.

Anyway, if is really dead, I´m always looking for dead units.

I did explain quite well how the phone became a "brick".

Again...

I tried to unlock my U.K HTC Touch Diamond as it was locked on the Orange U.K network. I have since moved to Australia and wanted to use the phone here.

I downloaded the htc unlocker and followed instructions. I obviously now know i used the cdma version, my phone was not cdma (think it was GSM), and this is where the problem lies.

The phone turned off after the "are you sure you want to proceed prompt" and has never turned back on again.

Everything else i have already mentioned above.

I need to understand what this unlocking error has done to the phone, i live pretty close to Chiatown here, so if a fix is out there, im hoping my asian brothers can help me out...

Send your broken unit to Drug_Store.

He can give a try.

wagstafari · 09-10-2009, 12:35

What will Drug Store try to fix the phone???

Drug_Store · 09-10-2009, 18:24

I just mentioned I always look for dead HTC´s.

Actually I already posted on "wanted" section about this
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/show...&highlight=htc

I try my own methods to repair. Later I sell these.

it´s a kind of business.
Soon will put more then 10 units for sale here on forum, for internacional sales.

@wagstafari
You apparently "killed" the bootloader. Not sure if there´s a real solution for this or cheaper then buy pcb board for 200usd.
For what I know, software can´t help you by now, since there´s no signal from unit.

From my knowledge,90% of sof-dead devices can be revived.So, look for a advanced or prof personel and give him a try.
Or, if you need some bucks from it, send it to Drug store.
