Dear All,
I spent a lot of hours, days, reading the posts on the forum about the Universal and upgrading it. I didn't find some answers.
I still have some open questions that I request your help in order to have a safe upgrade.
I have a Qtek 9000, that is SimLock.
I would like to Upgrade to an AKU 3.5 ROM or to one Crossbow ROM ( still under assessment)
Now my questions:
To upgrade,
I will have to upgrade bootloader, because since Aku 3.2 Rom , it needs to be 1.01. That is clear.
Edit: Opsss tried bottloader for first time and my version is 2.01 So no bootloader upgrade, but new question:
Sim Unlock works with bootloader 2.01?
1 - Do I need to SIMUNLOCK before ROM or Radio ROM upgrade? If yes:
- I will need an oficial radio ROM. Which one? Are 1.13 or 1.14 is OK?
- Must I first Simunlock and only after upgrade the bootloader?
2 -Country Code error, what is it? (Solved)
Edit : About Country error, no specific answer, but i got almost what I looked for.
Thx you all for the hard work and colaboration on this site.
Cheers
TADAA... answers
I'm afraid you didnt took your best sshot at searching, cuz 3 or 4 post above yours is a topic called "problems with upgrading?"
in this topic you will find the info AND tools you need to succesfully upgrade..
I don't know about the simlock thing, i flashed mine with the simlock on, to a cooked rom, and it works, but don't blame me if it F*CKS up your mobile i suggest that you do a bit of research in that part..
Country id error:
You get that when you try to install a rom that is from a different manufacturer/country then yours, to solve this problem look at this link
(the link to the forementioned topic)

I know how to solve the country error, I just would like to get more info about it.
About the other post, I will look for it, but when i made search ( last time was the last week) I didn't find the answers i look for.
Since I looked and didn't find it could you please provide a link? ( sorry)
Thx for your help.
Hi,
1. I agree with bastiaanoskam cause I think almost any question about upgrading the Universal has been answered before in this forum.
2. I don't see the need to unlock your device if you don't want to change your current provider.
3. As far as I understand the country error is due to a change in the original language for which your device was thought (look for MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe) i.e. you have a Japanese device and want to upgrade to WWE version.
4. About the bootloader, I just saw one ROM that is said it requires to upgrade your bootloader to 1.01, it was a preview AKU3.2 from i-mate but I don't really know if the upgrade is really needed. I have read it's not needed for Crossbow and also for custom cooked AKU3.5 but again every new cooked ROM usually has a thread so you can find answers there.

1 - I do agree that there is a lot of info about the upgrade process, I just didn't find the answer for what I'm looking for.
2 - I didn't find a post where is stated that the device should be unlock to install the new ROM, but I also din't find the oposite, so my doubt.
3 - It seems that I should try first and if I get the error, go for the alternative method. I woul like to jump this step, but if there isn't other way, well, that's life
4 - Maybe it's a bad interpretation on my side of the wiki post. Porbably only some I-mate based roms need the bottloader upgrade.
thx for the help
Hello all,
I've done some searching around and am getting a little bewildered with what seems like contradictory advice/instructions so can someone please give me a shove in the right direction.......
I have a orange UK kaiser and want to flash it with the full featured rom which will allow the use of touch flo as it was designed. I dont know why orange crippled the device in the first place but hey ho.
I've noticed some ROM's floating about that also add messenger as well as other apps, this is all good but I have no idea on the process of flashing the device, and with some of the posts I've seen on here about radio's not working etc after flashing I thought I better just check with someone who does know.
So i just need maybe a link to a definitive thread/post on flashing this particular phone along with the tools needed.
Here's the details I get when booting the phone up.
R: 1.27.14.32
G: 22.45.88.07h
D: 1.81.00.00
Thanks in advance
Go to kaiser rom development and read the stickies and gweni

Cheers mate, will do

thanks to the ELITE team, ROM chefs, and everyone that made upgrading our diamonds possible!
Niceeeeeeeeeeeee
Looks good mate. Keep it coming!
My one issue with this (and only a small one!) is that .info sites are notorious for scammers. Obviously thats not a scam site but you don't wanna be tarred with same brush!
really? ha well, the main reason is that a .info is $0.99/year haha (maybe its cheap since they're only used by scammers now?)... and i don't think it hurt trinityguides being on an .info domain.. but if accessing a .com would make you feel more at home, then donate away!
LOL 99c - no wonder they are used by scammers.... !!
Looks really nice. Keep up the good work.
Hmm.. I know it sounds very stupid and yes it is.
I do not know which version I had before. It was one of the earlie Expansys Models build for UK. Does someone know which SPL was the original one?
Cheers
hmm... i don't know about that. wouldn't it be the one on the official UK ROM that's circulating? or is that without SPL?
It was an original UK-ROM. So I guess a UK device.
Bought her ein germay from a company who had the device already 2 weeks ago.
Everything was in english and the default region was set to english (uk).
Maybe I ned to have a look at the box. Maybe I can find more info about the device there.

Really nice.
Some basics need to be Explained:
SPL,Radio,ROM differences, three parts.
What is a ROM
What is SPL and Bootloader
Why do we need HardSPL
What happens when we Flash Rom
What happens with hard reset
What happens with soft reset
What is the Radio Rom
Internal Storage and Memory difference
These basics will make a newbe more familiar with procedure.
IT's very well explained how HARDSPL install works, but when never done this, no-one will know what HARDSPL is and a newbie never is sure enough about it to just flash without asking us. And we want this Explanations, so one does not have to ask
Please help! Diamond will not boot
Hi
I did something really stupid. I was having battery drain issues with my new Touch Diomand, so I logged into HTC website to get the firmware upgrade.
I used to have an HTC Touch, and that was the only firmware available on their site, at the time I did not realise that it was the wrong one for me !
So I started installing it, it failed, and now I get the rainbow screen at startup.
I have tried hard reset, no joy. I have called HTC, they cannot help. No-one here in NZ services these phones, so I am stuck.
I have tried installing the firmware update from modmydiamond.info, but I STILL get the same problem, it just shows the rainbow screen and I cannot continue from there...
On a PC,this would be a bootstrap issue, I have no idea what to do (other than buying an iphone) any wisdom ??
That site is really nice...it introduced me to the HTCD flash world...
thanks.
Link named Hard-SPL 1.40 points to version 1.30
Hi,
On page Home -> Upgrade Guides -> Upgrade to Hard-SPL it says:
Download a Hard-SPL from the forums here
Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED
I succesfully downloaded and installed the Olinex Hard-SPL, but when I enter
the bootloader te tri-colour screen reads SPL-1.30 OliNex i.s.o. 1.40. What
did I do wrong? What are the differences between 1.30 and 1.40?
Thanks in advance,
Flat
P.S.: Great site!!
hello people and thanks for looking. Right I would like to upgrade my
SPV M3100 to wm6, but i have no idea how. I have read through some stickys n some other threads but tbh im confused, all i get gather is i need to install hard spl ( what ever that is) then upgrade my rom using usb. The phone was on ornage but i unlocked it, now on three 3g.
here are what the id and info about my phone is :
operator version 14.211.1.613
ROM version 2.11.61.3
ROM date 5/21/07
Radio version 1.38.00.01
Model No. Herm100
any help would be must appreciated
Hello lloyd, as you can see from all the offers of help that you received, this site is full of big heads who claim to be geniuses, but when faced with a simple question reply that you should read more!
Unfortunately, it appears that most of the contributors are so illiterate and self centered that they do not have time to help people with genuine problems.
For the last six months, I have been trying to upgrade my rom, only to find links that do not work and instructions that are incomplete.
If you want any real help, you will not find it on this website.
hi all i have a t-mobile compact iv but it is so slow (as i've read in other posts its to do with the rom).
as a newbie to all this i actually have NO idea what is going on but want to flash with a new rom.
can anybody suggest a suitable rom, and radio (not sure what this is) and also a guide would be magical.
will make a donation to the site if anybody helps me do this!!!!!
thanks alot
Jon
Hi, I'm not really an expert but I've successfully flashed several roms onto my diamond.
Firstly you should read a little over here and see what you must do first. Your phone is branded so you'll need to flash something called Hardspl (It probably unlocks the branded phone) and than you can go to the forum and look for a rom that you like and flash it following the instructions in the post of the above link. Radio rom is important for signal quality, gps signal and definitely battery time. Flashing is safe and easy if you follow the instructions and after you do it Bye
