HI All
on 20th july 2010, i bought new HTC touch pro 2. Being an outdated one, this model is one of mine favorites. After one day of purchase i tried to update my phone to windows 6.5 on HTC website but i was not able to do so because this the the phone was intended to be sold in netherland and not in Singapore. This statement was told to me by HTC customer care, then i called the seller and asked that what should i do. They didnt admit that they cheated on me and they advice me to download windows 6.5 from Netherlands website and i followed their instructions. When the update was finished the language of the phone was turned out to be in Dutch. I asked for help from the seller but they told to pay them exta sum to 50 dollars to restore or to install windows 6.1. I even contacted HTC customer care but they didnt help me out.
So guys, if anyone of you have orginal window 6.1 or orignal window 6.5 then please give the link to download the same. I am in a fix right now. I made a bad purchase and right now my money is on stake.
Please help me
Right now i am in Singapore.
If you want to go down the custom rom route, you should use hardspl to unlock your phone (instructions can be found in this rom development section) and then flash any rom you want. There's quite a few choices so you might want to try a few.
Flash a ROM

Yes, go to flashing your first GSM Rhodium topic and then choose a ROM.
If you're outdated (like me... ) I recommend a stock 6.1 rom, which I just love. I donno if you're staying in Singapur or not, then choose an Asia ROM.
Right now, it sounds like you're limited to Dutch ROMs, since that's where your phone was designed to be used. But as others have said, if you install HardSPL on your phone (see the sticky posting about it), then you will be able to choose from *any* official ROMs (either from HTC or from carriers) for the GSM Touch Pro 2, or any of the custom ROMs on this site.
So put on HardSPL, then it should be easy to get a ROM to meet your needs.

Not sure about language but I highly recommend McCune's Cosmik Debris Rom. FASTEST WM6.1 ROM and flawless. It doesn't come with any today plugins except the basic ones so you can install whatever you want (I installed sense 2.1 and it's fast as hell).
Once you try this one, you won't care to try any other ones . Just be sure to download the Connection Setup from somewhere (on the 2nd or 3rd post of the thread).

I think that hard spl is installed in the phone, because when i bought this phone it was loaded with windows 6.1 (english) after i update it to windows 6.5, i stucked up with dutch language.
what you think?

I doubt it, it's probably just that you loaded a ROM that was compatible with your specific phone - i.e. if it's a Dutch TP2, then you'll be able to load Dutch official ROMs (but nothing else).
To check, you can put your phone into the bootloader and it will tell you the SPL version (don't worry, this won't harm your phone). Hold down the "Volume Down" button on the side, and press the reset button (and keep holding Volume Down). The phone will come up with a tri-coloured screen and a load of text. In there will be the SPL version, it will be something like 0.79, or 0.84, etc.
HARD-Spl
HARD SPLing your phone will void your guarantee, but you shouldn't worry about it.
Go to the noob session, HARD SPL is an exe, will "open" your phone in 2-3 minutes.
Then, you can flash any rom.
I do not know, if you need an asia rom just because you stay in asia.
Maybe not.
I use 6.1 stock rom, also called shipped rom.
Or just choose any.
I have this if this (6.1)is what you are looking for.

why not ? there are lots of roms out there, check the wiki-pages
Choose your favourite, don't forget to run USPL before flashing and there should be no problem
....and please don't ask which rom is the best one - there are lots of threads about that and imo it's inadequate the say which one is the best.
All the cooks are trying to create great roms - it's up to you which one you like the most....
Yes you can upgrade or degrade
You can always upgrade to WM6 and downgrade to WM5 if you intend to change later. I have done it before many time installed different ROM's.
You only need to run USPL before any new ROM install.
I did this myself just the other day. You can get the official ROM from here for the UK XDA Orbit.
http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/O2UKRuuDownload.aspx?sn=SZ721FX00383&refer=http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
This one does'nt need USPL since it is the official ROM.

I think I'm going to go this route. That site says I need Activesync 4.5 - however I'm on Vista and using the Sync Centre application - will this do?
Have a look at this thread Anjow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317589&highlight=vista
I think it has everything you need.
Thanks. Given how complex that looks I think I'll just use my XP machine to do it.
Am I right in thinking that upgrading like this will hard reset the device? That I'll need to reinstall all my programs and reinstate my appointments/contacts etc.? If so, can I create an SPB self-extracting backup on WM5 then run it on WM6 to get my config back?
I know there are lots of ROMs out there but I was just careful and used the standard O2 release:
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
And yes, it clears out your machine unless you have installed the software on the SD card in which case it just gets confused.
But it is worth it.

Odd, that site won't accept my serial number... I have tried many different combinations of what it could be (swapping 0 for O etc.) but it keeps telling me it isn't valid.
Just use the link I provided, it is the same ROM. Using the other link you have to make sure that you use Internet Explorer, other brwsers don't work.
Will do then, cheers.
slow downloads
could someone please up the official O2 UK WM6 ROM for me please?
i've tried downloading from the aforementioned official websites. it starts out at a fine speed, then gets slower and slower until it eventually times out.
really want to upgrade, so if someone could upload the official rom to megaupload/rapidshare i would be much appreciative.
thanks
Here you go, fortunatly I still had it on my HD from when I upgraded mine.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WOEXBYKO
thanks!
cheers for that much appreciated. however it seemed to download fine this time, but i'll get urs as a back up too!
this is the official ROM right?
thanks again
Yes it is the official ROM, I got it from the link I posted earlier in the thread.
Hi guys ... I will probably be getting a O2 XDA Diamond...
The O2 Diamond has a blue branded Touchflow Gui...
Will there be anyway to install the Original HTC software on it so i have the nice Black Menu?
yep you have to install a hardspl, either olipro's [which i think is unreleased] or the one made by the diamond project team.
then you can flash a new rom.
however, check your rom version in settings->system->device information
if it reads 1.34.831.1
it means you have a new spl that prevents you from flashing hardspl until the experts here create a work-around.
i hope this helps
Rory
On a related note, I was considering getting the O2 XDA Diamond but putting the black TouchFLO 3D on it. However, I've now decided to get a normal HTC Touch Diamond, because I'm lazy and I don't want to flash a new ROM for a number of reasons.

I dont think ill be getting the htc modell becaus i would have to pay much more...
Because of the o2 contract that i have in august i can re new the contract an will get a o2 xda for about 100 euro... so i think ill be sticking to this modell..
Please keep this thread up 2 date guys... Good work so far...
Well I´m pretty new to this. Im gonna get a XDA Diamond too within these weeks. But as mentioned the blue TouchFlow theme from O2 is really ugly in my opinion. So maybe someone can explain me how it is possible to change the ROM to get the original black theme from HTC.
What is necessary for that to work, what changes would that bring to my system (all programs lost?) and what dangers come along with that?
I appreciate your answers. Thanks.

c´mon guys, please give me some information on this.
Ok .
First of all you can take one of two options.
1) Hard SPL the device and flash a new ROM that someone has mirrored here.
Look here for Hard SPL ( Read carefully as not all Diamonds can be Hard SPl'd as yet)
HardSPL Here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395640
ROM is here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985
Hard SPL your device as per the Instructions then run the ROM update that you would have downloaded above . Job Done.
2) Wait until someone removes the 3G Interface from a Diamond (HTC Maila) and then apply that cab to replace your blue one.
Hope this helps
If you read the very first thread in this forum then you would have had an idea on what you was asking.
Thank you very much for your answer. So just to get me right. If i need a german ROM, is there a chance, as far as the new ROM version (probably comming with the german xda) is HardSPL useable, to flash another german HTC ROM on to it (if someone is providing it)?
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?

If its an O2 ROM then as you have an O2 device you may not need to Hard SPL but not sure on that one.
As long as you Hard SPL the device then you will be able to flash any ROM that turns up on this forum on your device. Please read the post I pointed out to you, as one of the SPL's shipping on the Diamond will not work and you may brick your device
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?
When you flash a device it will set it back to a ROM only . EG all the apps etc you have installed will be gone. TomTom if available on the device ROM will be on it as well (Although I thought O2 pefered Copilot) . If not have a look around the Forums and find a suitable TomTom cab for the device.
Again if you spend some time reading some of the threads on here and within other devices you will start to understand more .
Ok guys so hold us up to date on this.... Im getting my O2 phone in 2 weeks and I think I wont like the blue TF3D.
Ok guys... so is there any new information on getting the branded colour touchflow 3d to the orignial black one? Someone here mentioned doing it without any hardspl stuff via a CAB file or something....
ANy news on this?
Thx Busta
Here in germany it's possible to renew your contract through several online shops. When doing so, you can get any device you want. You usually also get a better deal than renewing through O2. Try if this is possible in your country and get a HTC device!
The only advantage of getting an O2 device is, that you get a refurbished device sent to you in case of a waranty return and don't have to send it in for repair. (At least that's my experience with the hermes aka. XDA Trion I had)

Whats the point of getting a HTC Touch Diamond then? The "fun" begins with cooked ROM flashing and since the Touch Diamond seems to be more and more popular, some very nice ROMs will be out in the near future. Can't wait to see where this is going...

Flashing to another ROM with HArdsSPL wipes out all in your RAM and ROM memory. it over writes al registries.
Also TomTom. A back-up is not advisable as it will not run, or cause bigger problems.

for all the guys, they would like to remove the blue ugly O2 TouchFlo 3D skin, without flashing the Diamond! ;-)

Read and search mate !
I did as i'm a total noob and still managed to install hardspl and the new rom !
Its all here to be found
Hi all,
I am new here and I have been snooping around. This is a great forum.
anyway, So on tuesday I recieved my rogers HTC touch diamond with a 3 year term extension. The phone came in WIMO 6.1 FRENCH. I was a bit pissed because I'm pretty sure that I specifically asked for the english version. After reading another forum post, it seems another user ran into this issue with rogers. they don't seem to carry the phone in english.
I wanted to return the phone but then i stumbled upon xda developers and hard spl'ed the phone and loaded new roms on it. the thing runs pristine now. I am in love with this phone. I do want to keep it but I dont want my 3 year lock-in with my carrier.
So, I was wondering if anyone has a dump of the french version rogers rom for the diamond? this way i can revert it back to manufacturing defaults and return it within my 30 day trial window and then just buy one BNIB off ebay or someone off howard forums.
can anyone help me out here?
I also got a French ROM on my Rogers Diamond. They do have english versions as well though. If you do a search you will find a link to the english Rogers ROM.
My guess is that they would not check if the ROM was supposed to be french or english. They would just check that it is a stock ROM and spl.
Check this thread for the English version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455347
To restore back to orignal state,
1) Flash the OS ROM
2) Flash the original radio
3) Flash the original splash screen
4) Finally, use the Soft-SPL method to change the HardSPL to the original Rogers SPL
5) Return it

thanks for the reply. I hope you are right about them not checking.
the contents of the box have french documents. I hope that they dont clue in
well I guess I'll give that a go. I hope they they dont charge me the $200 policy for used or damaged returns. but if they do its worth not having to lock-in for 3 years.
Hi All
I'm in the UK and have just purchased a second hand i780 with the version number MSHE2. I want to upgrade to Win Mob 6.1 via the official Samsung site but it says that my version is not correct even though it is! Anyone have any ideas.

In official upgrade choise Malaysia. Vesion DXIB1.
Thanks for the reply.
Won't it **** my phone up though if I put a non-english version on it or are they all the same?
Thanks
Man I'm confused.
I don't know what to do. I've spent the last hour or so reading countless threads about various upgrades (6.1 or 6.5) I could consider for my UK i780. Trouble is, I don't get the whole version code thing. I have MSHE2 but that doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere even on the Samsung site.
What I want is a UK specific rom which will work with O2 and have all the right region settings etc. I don't mind if it's 6.1 or 6.5
Sorry to be thick but I just don't get it. I've flashed various other phones in the past but all the code numbers on this phone have got me beat at the moment.
Thanks again
If you cant consider dont do.
But any UK's i780 is still 780, may be is locked by provider,you can unlock it anytime by special functions already built in phone. just read on xda howto.
Welcome to xda.
PS: dxib1 is fully English 6.1, supports world wide cell operators.
You should consider one thing, you do this on own risk.
Thanks. I'm aware of the risks...just need to understand the version codes etc.
So if I install the official samsung 6.1 dxib1 it will feel like an english phone and work with o2.
cheers

Ok, I think I'm going to give your 6.5.x version a go. That will work won't it...will be english etc?
Not sure whether I need the 128dpi or 96dpi version - is that just the size of the font...which is bigger?

feel fry to try any and decide which is better for you. 96 dpi - smaller but looks like QVGA is square, 128 dpi - is more closer to VGA, but is quite bigger.
But flash this update I gave you link before custom rom's flashing.
I'm still struggling!
On the Samsung website when I select Malaysia, Vista and then dxib1 I just get taken to another website with no download.
I read somewhere else on these forums that UK, Vista, bvhf1 might work for my phone. Do you know anything about that release?

After three weeks, here comes my answer ! (and sorry btw...)
On the HTC website, go to support (www.htc.com/gr/support) and enter the phone model (touch pro 2). You'll get an update notification something about transcriber. Click on "see more" and find the correct update (files should be bigger than 100MB )
Hope this helps, I got that working on the french support, should work on the greek one too !
oh thanks for that but still cant find anything.haha
