contacted imeicheck-people about wrong model ID flashing htc rom.
here their answers:
Hello,
you are wrong. For sure you try to flash a NOT compatible firmware.
It sounds like you try to flash HTC Artemis firmware on a HTC Hero or vice versa.
The HTC Artemis has different chipset inside (it has additional WiFi chipset) than the HTC Hero. (In case you just try to enable WiFi on a Hero... the WiFi chipset is missing, no firmware/software can replace a missing chipset + antenna)!
>From outside both devices look same but inside they have different hardware.
Flashing a ROM from another device most likely will cause serious damage to it.

IMEI-CHECK Team
and just a second later
Hello,
up to now only T-Mobile sells the HTC Hero (the version without WiFi).
Nevertheless you have the following options:
- flash any HTC Hero version you like (T-Mob-UK-English, T-Mob-GER-German, T-Mob...)
- to skip installing the "nice" T-Mobile branding immediately skip the installation of Extended ROM (a message comes up: "Please wait, device will configure in 3 seconds") after hard reset by sticking in "Reset".
We opened HERO device and it is missing the WiFi chipset. So we gave up to try to flash HTC Artemis ROM since there is no real reason to risk a device.
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
It this possible? "missing the WiFi chipset"?????
If chip is BlueLink 6.0 Platform: BRF6350(Bluetooth®,FM,WLAN) herehttp://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12659&contentId=14646
then it is one chip!!!
Maybe WLAN Antena is not inserted?
Or it is another chip?
Lets wait some more - there must be a good reason for the Dutch MDA with WLAN ... not sure if that unlocking-company is correct ...
any dutch owners around?
whats your device id?
HTC = arte100
T-Mobile = arte110
O2 = arte200
if its not arte110, chance are 0 to succeed with flashing
dutch artemis here
I have a dutch Artemis with vendor id ARTE110. tmobile mda3.
Imei check is wrong... It has WiFi capabilities and in the dutch rom it's activated. It's the same device inside.. just another ID. I also unlocked the device with their services (imei-check) and it's not flashable with the ARTE100 rom..
Rom version: 1.13.114.1 NLD
Radio 02.49.90
Can you do a dump of the Dutch ROM?

Althought I beleive the "guts" of the HTC Artemis are based on the TCS3500 chipset from TI, the Bluelink chip is not used. The technical specification (page 201 of the HTC Artemis user guide) says that the FM radio is served by Silicon Lab's Si47001 chip.

It seems tmobile requested a different ARTE code this to prevent us from installing other ROM'S. The dutch code is ARTE110 as wel (I own one) but it has all the capabilities of the ARTE100, adding one and one this device is the same as the arte100. THis would mean if we can rewrite the software for the rom upgrades to take All ARTEXXX codes we will be able to excange roms. Its just a number.
I think t-mobile did this to stop us unbranding our devices the easy way: loading HTC / Qtek Roms thereby increasing the second hand value.
Its probably merely time that keeps us away from loading roms from different vendors.
... well,
in oder to prove this wrong or wright, we simply need to get our hands on a dutch rom (-upgrade). all of us having cid-unlocked our gadgets should be able to install this then and we should have wlan--- or not!
wifi
hi dunno if this helps but when the tmobile customisation kicks in it says remove btlnk as part of the customisation

since i screwed up my extrom my mdac boots without any extrom files. after the first boot i get wlan in commanager and under connections! only downpoint: it doesnt function at all; and after another softreset all these entries are gone, only reinstallable by another hardreset.
we need a dutch rom to experiment further!!!
Dutch Extended Rom and some Windows files
Good day, please find attached the files in my Extended Rom with 2 additional files from the windows folder on my device.
Hope this might do some tricks on the WIFI problems.....
The Windows WIFI.zip inside the main zip file are the 2 files from the windows folder on my device. Might there by any other files needed, please let me know!
My device: T-Mobile MDA Compact III dutch version!!!

Any news yet on the WIFI issue?
i am sorry to say, but all this seems rather pointless.
i managed to install:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe
which, afa we know, is complete with all wifi stuff, and it doesnt supply me with wifi on my hero(no wlan chip).

(hopefully) Breaking News
Good day,
While scrolling through my files, found the following link in \windows\startup
WiFiInit.lnk which points to WiFiInit.exe in \windows\
(see attached )
This might startup the whole wifi stuff at boot......
Please let me know if anything changed in the situation
i have MDAc 3 with flashed original HTC software and wifi dont work pda crash but original software is nice and quickly then t-mobile's OS
Hi,
To thormdac are you try to install rom from htc p3300 ftp://[email protected]/Ar...dates/ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship.exe
Because rom ftp://xda:[email protected]/ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe is with disable wifi
I'm sure that mda compact III have wifi - we need to install rom from ARTE100 OR ARTE200 not from ARTE110.

I have a Blue Angel as mentioned in my signature and I have what I believe are all of the files needed to try and install WM2005 Build 14326.0.0.0 onto it.
Here are the WM2005 files I currently have:
HimaUpgradeUt - 512KB - 5/5/2004 4:54PM
nk.nbf - 32,769KB - 3/21/2005 9:08AM
And the following came from my existing ROM:
ms_.nbf - 16,833KB - 2/3/2005 7:45PM
radio_.nbf - 4,097KB - 2/3/2005 7:45PM
I also have a good copy of ActiveSync Beta 4.0.0 and have all of the instructions that were made in the main WM2005 post for installing on the Himalaya and I'm assuming it should be the same for the Blue Angel.
My device info currently reads:
Model No: PH20A2
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 Build 14132
ROM Version: 1.36.00 WWE
ROM Date: 01/13/05
Radio Version: HA00_140
Protocol Version: AA3.3.301
ExtROM Version: 1.36.110 WWE
Hardware Version: 0041
This is what it came with out of the box, I have not installed the updated ROM Audiovox released the day the phone was released because I have never had a single problem and some people who upgraded reported problems and that some files were a day older than the version that shipped in the original ROM.
-------------------
Now my 1st question, the newest updated ROM installer package from Audiovox which was released 3/4/2005, has a different version of the upgrade utility, it's called "HaUpgradeUt - 424KB - 12/23/2004". The package it was included in from Audiovox's website was called "HA_SPCS_13600_113_00140_6600". Which upgrade utility is the best to use or does it not matter?
Now my 2nd question, has anyone yet tried this on a Blue Angel? Is there anyone here who really knows thier stuff who is willing to help me if I get lost or screwed up so I can be the Blue Angel WM2005 test pig?
Thanks!
hi
i have a pda2k with 1.33 rom and radio rom 1.08 and my cooked rom
i tried the upgrade but got the device authentication error.. tried it with the explained patch and the other method in original wm2005 post.. the himupgrade starts the procedure and then stops after some time saying an error occured..
but you go ahead and try it..may be you will do something differently and will succeed..
note: i have tried the xda 2 SE rom and imate jam rom and almost tried the alpine rom on my pda2k.. there is nothing you cannot revert back from
just incase if you are curious what happened after the above roms..my device didnt boot.... no problem...just unplug the usb port of the cradle and run a wwe rom made for xda 2s or pda2k ...everything will work then!
good luck..
keep us posted!!!!
in the above post: i mean unplug usb then replug usb and then run the BAupgrade utility....
can you upload hte 1.36 rom you have??? does your device have wifi and camera???
thanks

Where is the post for this "explained patch method" you are referring to? Also I'm considering the post titled "Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0 I can share" as the original WM2005 post so we are on the same page in our thinking on that one.
The ROM is a free download from Audiovox, I guess I could upload it though.
I'm assuming the BAupgrade utility is on this site for download?
My device does have the camera but no WiFi, it has EV-DO instead. It's a CDMA phone, not a GSM phone...
your running the Verizon EVDO version of the the BlueAngel a CDMS 1xrt yada yada device. Most new ROM images are made for GSM phones then latter altered to talk to CDMA modules. In this case I think ot only would you not have a "good" experience but would warn against it. Second BlueAngel devices have OEM driver for the slide out keyboard. You will most likely loose for sure its use with this new OS. This is why the only devices it is worrking on right now are non-hardwired keyboard devices. Also there seems to be a notable diff in the hardare implimentation between HTC based devices. What software might work with one may not at all or damage another. Sorry for the down news but I think unless you have a keyboardless device I would not recomend playing with it. Just my 2 cents.
What you can do though is grab some of the elements (image files) from the new OS in other threads here, and overwrite the files on your device. Kind of like adding crome package or racing stripes. still the same car, just feel new :wink:
Thanks for the input. I'm running the Sprint version, not the Verizon one, same difference though pretty much, lol. 2.5G Vs. 1xrt and both have EV-DO, and then of course the frequency of the Verizon digital and Sprints PCS, but yeah both CDMA
I really couldn't care less about the keyboard, I don't even use it, never really have. Honestly, I work for CompUSA and if this thing gets buggered up I'll just exchange it out. I'm going to do a full backup tonight, hard reset, dump the existing ROM and then start the process just for grins to see how it goes. As long as it's not dog slow, text messaging works and email along with voice functions I'll be happy as heck. It'll atleast be fun to screw with and then I can always go back later.
I'm still unclear on some things like the country code and stuff that was mentioned in the other posts. Once I know I have all the facts and all of the files I'll give it a try and post back here. I'm off Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday so I'll have 3 days straight to play. I have to say my only real concern is it working with the CDMA radio which hopefully it will since I have a good copy of the latest Radio ROM for it...
hi 92GTA
yeah were on the same page..
wm2005 i can share is the original post..and i think page 10 has the answer (im not entirely sure though the post has now 17 pages!!!)
@ 92GTA : can you share this 2k5 ROM ? can you upload to a ftp and give us a link
bad :
read properly : he WANTS to install WM2005 on his IIs.
Why should you people go around risking your devices like this?
It's like putting diesel in a petrol car..things will screw up...
The 2005 upgrade currently available is only meant for XDA II devices, not IIs or II mini...or whatever. Hardware differences will render your efforts rather futile save for a massive hack.. Sigh.

Where on Audiovox is the 2005 rom?. All I've ever seen are the 2003se updates.
I have a german T-Mobile MDA Pro with the official T-Mobile AKU 2.0 from May 2006. Is there any stable upgrade I could apply to my MDA? Maybe T-Mobile released something officially? I read that there are already Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3.0 and later floating floating around for other brands? Where is the one for MDA Pro?

I am currently using the Helmi’s AKU 3.5. If you are new in ROM upgrades, you may choose the Helmi’s AKU 3.3 which is more reliable.
Bdw. MDA PRO is base on HTC Universal (that is the production name)

Agree.
Me using Helmi_c Aku3.5 v1.3 too. Performance is great except no speedial!
Also think Helmi_c Aku3.3 v1.2 is the best ROM so far except for not having Windows Live.
Works better with Radio 1.14.10, but depend of your network provider.
What is Radio 1.14.10 ?
And what do you mean with Windows Live? Does some Microsoft AKU contain already some windows live services that where promised for "crossbow" (WM6.0)? What are those? Or is this some ugly homwbrew hack?

I suggest you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286036 and download the Helmi aku3.5 v1.3. -Its very reliable and considerably faster than what you will have installed already. I strongly recommend that you back up to MS OUTLOOK before updating if you dont wish to lose your calander events or contacts.
To answer your question, the so-called 'Radio ROM' is actually an update of the mobile phone (aka radio) firmware. Helmi's package includes a previous radio firmware version which is fine. The package also includes the latest available firmware upgrade (or AKU) of the Windows Mobile 5 operating system. This firmware upgrade of the OS is not yet officially released by MS, but has leaked and has since been tweaked by such jolly fine chaps as Helmi.
By the way, you'll be quite confused by the mixed use of ROM, extended ROM, hard/cold boot, etc (eg. everyone knows that ROM = 'Read Only Memory' and that the AKU and RADIO upgrades are actually written to EEPROM or equivalent memory type). Dont worry too much about it though, the lingua franca grows on you and the support from the community is excellent
Go ahead and try to update your universal after backing it up.
Your next post should be either "WOW, thats much better!!" or "CRAP, how do I get the damned thing to update??!!"
before I actually go for an upgrade I still have some worries:
1. won't I loose the german language on my phone (keyboard, äöü, T9, UI Language) ?
2. on some screenshots I have seen a "3G" Icon, but in germany it is UMTS and I want to keep the U Icon
3. When upgrading the Radio ROM, will everything still work fine with the operator T-Mobile such as MobileTV, streaming, MMS, Videophonie or this automatic image compression service offered by t-mobile germany (automatically compresses all images on websites to save traffic).
Just to make you feel safe, you can go to your T-Mobile website, download your current ROM from there.
So even how good the new ROM is, if you do not like it, flash back the old one.
can anybody answer my 3 questions ?

There is NO official AKU 3 out yet for the Universal. I don't think there will ever be. ALL the AKU 3 you see here are made by members and any Universal device can use them.

bitbonk,
As mentioned there is no official AKU 3.X for Universal.
AKU 3.X ROM’s that you find here are tailored to functionality by some brilliant guys in this forum. Indeed those are generally in English.
However if you choose to use them you will lose your German language but you may able to find batches that allows you to reconfigure. I do also believe your specific T-mobile related functionality will be lost.
in case your decide to give a try for one this available ROM’s then as CWKJ has suggested you can download you current original ROM from T-Mobil for back up
However please take NOTE this forum is for guys they like to test and develop.
I think I am using my universal more for upgrading and testing some ROM’s rather for daily usage. Therefore if you decide start to use one of this ROM’s be prepared to be infected with “XDA developers Virus”. This Virus is not infecting your device but its effecting you live
This will lead you spending most of your free time in this forum and on your device.
Instead bringing news paper to “rest room” you will bring your Universal.
If anyone tries to call you on your device, they will be not able to contact you as device docked on your computer for ROM upgrade or trying any reg. code.
Your Girlfriend/wife will start to complain: “I wish you would love me same as you loving your Universal”
So bro think carefully on what you decide :0)
LOL !!! ...
Good one.
I am trying to get my other half to be infected too.
Read somewhere in this forum, cannot remember which thread, a guy say his girlfriend complaint that he is doing too much ROM. Some other guys in this forum suggest him to give his girlfiend some RAM before continue with his ROM.
LOL !!! ...
So much of joke aside.
This are all self cooked ROMs. Our hardware maker for $ making seek unlikely to give any of us any update (only once in April 06).
1. You will lose the German Language as this is a WWE (World Wide English) ROM. But you can make a search in this forum for a forumer by name Asukal who is an expert in language. You should find some language patch (for read & write) to make up for the missing German Language.
2. "3G" is a "display only bug" in the Aku3.x which should be "U" for Voice service. For Web browsing service or Video, etc, instead seeing "U", you see "G" (a bug too).
3. UMTS/3G using this ROM with Radio image (any version, but latest official T-Mobile is version 1.13.00 and some test version 1.14.10 which seems to work pretty well with this Helmi_c Aku3.5 V1.3) have no problem with Voice Call, SMS, MMS, Video Call, Web browsing, etc. Other T-Mobile specific service (MobileTV, streaming, image compression), I think it should be in your Extended Rom, not Radio. You can just flash nk.nbf (Aku part) and Radio_.nbf (radio part) and do not flash the ms_.nbf (extended rom part).
Lastly, only after flashing, you will get all your questions answer until the day you try it.
Before flashing, backup your T-Mobile splash screen (if any) because splash screen of Helmi's ROM is O2, Indra's is imate, the other 2 I have not tried.
Remember to use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, (do not use ROMUpgradeUt.exe), to flash.
Good luck.
thank you for your help.
So maybe there is a e preconfigured ROM/radio upgrade (AKU 3.x) with german language floating around that is known to work well with german t-mobile ? Any german t-mobilers around here?
Why not go into the helmi thread and ask if someone has a compatible german language patch? You can probably set up the T Mobile stuff manually....

FAQ:
====
Q1: Is This the ANZ Version or the SEA Version:
A1: This seems to be the ANZ version as it is from the ANZ site and the description of the HTC download site is: "D810 WM6 GPS Enabled ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ and Optus network – version 3.00.707.18"
Q2: I'm having trouble downloading off the HTC link, what should I do?
A2: There is a rapidshare link above, try that. If you are still having trouble PM me.
Q3: What is the difference between this version and the one released a couple of weeks ago?
A3: This is two minor revisions later - This previous release was 3.00.707.16. this is 18. Hopefully this fixed the problem some people were having with upgrading getting stuck at ~30%. EDIT: So far several people are still having this problem.
Q4: Does this ROM fix the TomTom bug involving the device code changing on each hard reset?
A4: According to a post on page 2 it does!
Q5: Is there a new SEA release?
A5: It appears HTC have re-released the same SEA rom with a new date. This seems to make sense as the problem with the original rom was partially related the 3 Australia.
Q6: Will this rom work on devices other than once branded as Dopod d810?
A6: It should, although you will need to remove the service provider lock (SPL) from your device first. Further information can be found here (do some searching and research prior to using this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299659&highlight=hard-spl
Q7: What is the deal with the languages?
A7: This is the World Wide English (WWE) edition which basically means it is in english. You can install this over a device which is in another language however you device will then be in english.
Q8: Will installing Hard-SPL (see Q6) void my warranty?
A8: Short answer is yet. However, you should be able to switch back to your original firmware etc prior to sending the device in for a warranty repair so you should be able to fool them.
Q9: Does this rom come with office and acrobat etc?
A9: It comes with Acrobat Reader LE and Office.
Q10: Can I read office 2007 files on my PDA with this ROM:
A10: Yes, you need this file:

Work on HTC P3600?
I'm gonna be upgrading my Wizard w/ Faria WM6 on it to a P3600.
Anyone know if this ROM will work on the HTC P3600?
I'm assuming it will as my Wizard is a Qtek and the ROM is from HTC.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure it will work if your phone is SP unlocked. (Can't tell you 100% though)
A Rapidshare link has now been added for anyone having trouble with the dopod link. Rapidshare link is located in the original post.
Is this the SEA or ANZ version?
Not sure which it is. I got if off the ANZ site so I assume either they've unified them or it is ANZ.
EDIT: Just copied this of the dopod site so I assume it is ANZ - "D810 WM6 GPS Enabled ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ and Optus network – version 3.00.707.18"
EDIT2: If anyone does have links to the SEA version please post it here and I will add it to the initial post.

This is a repost of ANZ Rom, with radio shipped on ANZ before and some minor change in the OS, probably a bugfix.
Main Changes:
in Application, OEMAPPS
StreamingPlayer
VideoStub
Streaming Video is now called Streaming Media
DLL
In OEMAPPS
Rtsphandler.dll
in OEMDRIVERS
rilgsm.dll
wavedev.dll
Removed CommManagerRes_dll.cab
All the other files seem to be the same: there are 1175 different files but as to me it is due to a new packaging.
The most interesting part, except streaming media, are the two new drivers rilgsm.dll and wavedev.dll
I'm trying to install these different files on my device... wavedev.dll seem to have cause my trinity to stuck at the animated boot screen with sound (a personal hack in the registry). After a soft reset the animated boot screen has been disabled. Rilgms.dll should be related to radio search and roaming switching, and probably is installed to support the new radio shipped. I've radio 1.46.00.11 and can't turn on the phone anymore
All the above is a mine investigation, if you think I'm wrong you can correct me. I'm open to learn more...

No, just trying to update my lasagna by hand, but it doesn't work.
To see the differences Ive extracted the two roms and made a binary compare between files..
PS: After removing these two dlls my animated splash worked again and my phone too...
Ciao
Is there also a new SEA version. I don't have a Dopod device so my P3600 EMEI does not allow a download.

No, i din't made the update and you don't need to remove any dll.
If you want you can install it, if your device id supercid. But probably you will not found any difference from the one you are using, apart from streaming media that i've never used...
Ciao e buonanotte, mi è passata la sbronza e vado a letto...
I cannot find a new SEA rom. They changed the ROM date in the website - D810 WM6 English Version Upgrade code (2007/07/10), but if you try to download it goes to the same file - D810_SEA_WM6_Upgrade_20070709 - released before.
Fixes TomTom bug and works on UK Orange SPV M700
Hi all,
Having installed this ROM last night, I just thought I would let you all know the following:-
1. It FIXES the TomTom bug/incompatability whereby the Device Code keeps changing each time you Hard Reset! For me, this is *the* MOST important fix.
2. It works perfectly on the UK Orange SPV M700 version of the Trinity. In fact, there is no need for SuperCID or any of that lark, just unlock the phone from Orange (using the sticky thread in the Trinity Upgrading forum) and away you go. My advice is to press the Reset button right at the end of the initial date/time/screen alignment setup to stop it installing the Extended ROM.
3. This is the ANZ (Aus/NZ) version of the ROM, but it IS WWE (World Wide English)
I've only been running it and using for a few hours, but currently, all seems good. Definitely worth trying I'd say.
Regards, Moz.
I've tried it several times now, but somehow can't get past the 28% mark.
Tried all the unlock tricks...
Somebody a suggestion ?

After this step you can flash the "NEW Dopod d810 WM6 ROM" without the 28% error.
I got several questions:
1. Can I also install it on a P3600 with German language (I know that it is in English then, but that´s better anyway)?
2. My Triny is not branded (bought from Amazon). This won´t be a problem?
3. Is it branded then, because it´s a Dopod Version?
4. Can I still install German programs like the German Tom Tom or Langenscheidt Dictionaries or do I need new versions for WM6 and/or the English BS?
5. Is a English PDA compatible with German Outlook
6. Is also Office Mobile, Acrobat etc. onboard?
7. Will I loose my guarantee?
8. Can I go back to the official German WM5 in case of Problems?
9. Can I use this Update straight from my Vista PC or do I also need to change some dll´s?
10. Are any functions like European 3G etc. disabled, when installing this Australian version?
11. When the update stucks at a certain %, can I still update the other rom to use this update later or do I have a problem then?
Please, forgive me that I post so many questions.
Thank you so much for your answers.
Ok i removed ipl and spl from this rom , changed spash screens and flashed with customRUU.
Working fine so far.
Hi All,
I had lot of difficulty searching for different articles on how to upgrade my Indian Airtel Locked 2G Diamond to any of the NON-HTC ROMs.
Doubts were in mind as to which version of HardSpl, Radio will work with 2G Indian Diamond, whether Airtel lock has to be removed before upgrade, whether i'll brick my phone if i did not unlock it, so and so forth..
Hence i thought i'll share whatever i did to make my Diamond faster:
STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO UPGRADE INDIAN 2G AIRTEL LOCKED DIAMONDS:
Before going to any steps please note that whenever you use the RUU (HardSpl / Radio / ROM) please wait till the install is over, do not disconnect your cable / active sync connection or use the phone.. Sometimes u may not see activity on the PC/Phone, just wait and wait and all will be fine, u touch the diamond & it may get bricked!!
This tutorial has nothing to do with Unlocking from Airtel Network, and after doing a ROM upgrade your phone is still locked to Airtel only..
There is no need to unlock your Airtel Locked Diamond before going ahead with these steps:
Step1:
BACKUP:
Backup all your files, contacts, sms, PIM etc.. (I used PIM Backup v2.8)
Tip: The internal Storage does not get formatted unless you do a hard reset (anytime later after upgrade), still i recommend to backup your Internal storage.. just in case.., then use Sprite Backup, to backup in total..
Step2:
CHANGE TO HARDSPL FROM SPL:
SPL is like BIOS of your computer, HardSpl is a customised BIOS (Like HP bios may not allow u to tweak ur computer fully, the SPL does not allow custom non HTC ROMs)
To change SPL to HardSPL, use Olinex 1.40 Unsigned, also called Unsigned Olinex HardSPL Developer Edition
From this page download - Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip (1.92 MB, 21113 views)
Please read details of what to do and what not to do during HardSPL on this page.
Tips:
Check whether your SPL is Changed to HardSPL by going into bootloader screen - Press [Vol Dwn] & [RESET] simultaneously to enter bootloader screen
Dont go to step3 unless you have changed to HardSPL & confirmed it on the bootloader screen
Step3:
CHANGE RADIO:
Radio is the sofware that is used to control all the connectivity (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) & Phone (Which Band/ 3G/2G etc) functions
To change the Radio you have to do two things:
1. Download Custom RUU (A software to install your Radio - Like windows installer) 2. Selected Radio file
Dowload Custom RUU from here
2. Download radio from here, i preferred to use v1.00.25.05, now on v1.00.25.08
Please read details of what to do and what not to do while changing Radio on this page.
3. Extract both files into one single folder & install on your Diamond
Tips:
Changing the Radio is like getting a permission to install unofficial ROM, it wont remove Airtel Lock..
Check whether your Radio is Changed to desired version by doing a soft reset
Dont go to step4 unless you have changed & confirmed the desired Radio version with Soft Reset
Step4:
CHANGE ROM:
You can choose any unofficial ROM to install but as our Indian Diamonds are different (2G), you should be doubly sure that the ROM you select does not include a Radio (Coz all other radios will be 3G) Of course most of the ROM are devoid of Radios and SPL, but also most famous ROM cookers mention what their ROM contains and what it doesnt..
a. Select & Download a ROM, just install it..
b. Some ROMs need you to install it through RUU utility
c. Hard Reset the device once you have finished installing the ROM and make your Diamond a faster & cutomised machine..
Step 'c' is very important for your diamond to work properly
Please read details of what to do and what not to do while changing ROM on this page.
Tip:
I used SwiftBl 6.5... works like charm and flawless.., also used Dutty's ROM - not my cup of tea, as there were no updates of SwiftBL after 05/10/08, now i'm on Pistonripper.. Fast & Furious..!!
Step5:
RESTORE:
Restore from PIM Backup / Sprite Backup..
Thanks to many friends & posts who helped me use an XDA SITE ROM..
This post is mainly for my indian diamondwala counterparts & are only the main steps in brief, and mainly to mention what versions worked flawlessly on 2G version..
Please refer to more details espcially THIS post which gives very detailed account of upgrading..
Hope this post helps few..
Seniors / Moderators please read the article and if mistakes then point out.. I have used simple understandable words for newbies like me..

Indian Diamonds are different (2G)

do u mean that diamonds supplied by airtel are physically stripped off of 3G or is it just a software restriction?
Yes, Indian Diamonds dont have a 3G chip itself, if you look at indian website specs, the processor is different from rest of the world i.e. MSM7206A, while rest of the world it is MSM7201A (MSM7206A = MSM7201A - 3G Chip)
So there's a clearly different hardware..
keeping aside 3G & Quad band , the indian diamond is same as international, right?
Using a 3G 900/2100 Diamond in India...
Many thanks for this thread....very helpful
For a 3G diamond 900/2100 + Tri band GSM...will the Quadband radio v1.00.25.05 work?....
Will the 3G diamond work with this Radio in Europe where UMTS 2100 exists?
What will be the best cooked ROM for such a config? SwiftBl 6.5?
Thanks in advance...
@ karkalanand
hey man i'm lil confused here......i was reading through this thread and came to see that boinger66 claims maybe the indian version has 3g capability , what do u think ?
Indian diamond => 3G?
@blufade
Check these links...found the 7201A specs but not the 7206A ones...dunno why?...

http://www.jaganath.net/content/mobile/should-you-buy-the-htc-touch-diamond-in-india/210
Surely confusing unless someone flashes using the 3G radio and goes out of India ...to check it out...very expensive test...
btw, does the airtel diamond have gps chip ?
yes it does have GPS .. all the same only its 2G ..
thanks fr the help guys
btw, has any of u guys in india managed to get a pouch for your diamond ?
thats all quickgps does... it downloads information that would help your gps get a faster fix... you need a gps software to actually use ur gps....for eg, navigating softwares for use in india - satnav (www.satnavtechnologies.com/), mapking, inav (http://inav.mapmyindia.com/) ... Or even offroad navigation softwares like Gps Tuner
is it possible to get the simlock back to the phone ???

Sure enough I'll be flashing my India 2G Diamond (DIAM140) in the next few days with the info given. I think I'm ready after reading for 2 weeks straight.
I'll be leaving from Iraq in Oct. to go to Kuwait, then in Nov. will be headed to Germany, then taking my R&R Leave to the US.
I'll let you guys know how everything works out when I get to the states with it.
Got it on the first try
Hey I gotta say thanks you guys on this site rock.
I'm a N00b and came to this site reading and just getting info for 2 weeks straight and today was able to flash the unsigned hardspl, 1.00.25.05 radio, and swiftbls rom and to my suprise I had no issues. Reading and following directions is what I'm use to in the Army lol and that helped out. Thanks everyone.
Couple of things, it shouldnt matter what the red lettering says when i turn the device on right as long as the tri-color screen says olinex 1.40?
Now i will continue to look through this ROM and if i have any problems I'll read then ask questions if i can't find it.
Hooah. Thanks alot again for the indian diamond tutorial!!!
congrats justo81
now that u've upgraded , any noticable improvement in performance ?
Oh yes lots of notable improvments in performance. When switching to different screens there isnt that lag that was there. The time it use to take my calls to connect on the old radio is reduced now. Almost like I'm in the states and I'm calling people from Iraq!! lol
Still searching in the forums to get GPS working with google maps. Doesnt seem to want to locate the bird (satellite) when I know the direction of most of them cause I'm a commo guy and we log on them on the time
Overall. I'm glad I upgraded and look forward to exploring and adding some more apps with this device

Great! Thanks!
Another question (which I cant find the answer to).. How do I go back to the stock spl? I have unsigned hard spl on here at the moment.
Also, do you know which version of the radio the Compact IV is shipped with in the UK?
I'm guessing the order to do things is..
1. Flash original radio
2. Flash original ROM
3. Remove hard spl..
Your help would really be appreciated! Thanks.
T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (Diamond/Victor) stock ROM/SPL
Hi beauchampy,
The Radio and Rom will be flashed together with the file previously linked:
RUU_Victor_TMO_UK_1.37.110.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship.exe
The default SPL for T-Mobile stock from September until present day is 1.37
This should be the last thing to be flashed.
I have attached a zip with all the necessary files you need (credit to cmonex http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2324829#post2324829).
Un-zip the archive, connect via activesync.
Copy "SSPL-Manual.exe" to your device (any directory)
Run SSPL-Manual.exe on the device - screen should go black...
Start "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" in the PC as usual for rom update.

Aside..Im done with t-mobile after this contract expires. Support is rubbish and really with the diamond they have put near to zero investment with keeping up with HTC's rom/radio releases. If they arent going to put the money to keep up with this then how about not doing your own awful pink and white version and brand the phone to high heaven. Then you wont have to re-develop something thats already available just to customise it to t-mobile. Leave the phone as it is and keep in line with HTC's releases. The other problem is the total lack of accessory support for the compact 4. Rant over. Apart from, Pink and white...whoever thought of that..
So enough about the ROM already, how about the SPL?!??!! Can I use this one or is there a Dutch SPL out there???
Anywayz... I didnt need the T-Mobile support afteral. Because I had to wait for the ROM update too long back then I began to flash ROMs. Thanks XDA for that.
My next phone wont be a T-Mobile branded device, might not even be a HTC device... That long expected Sony Ericson X2 makes me horney, and its finally coming out!!!
offtopic
Oh never mind about the X2, it uses the same chip set as his predecessor, the X2 is already the biggest disappointment of 2010...
