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

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.

It was a related comment. I informed others of a decision I made, to avoid this problem - a decision which will save time and effort.
You always have to attack...
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.
Black TouchFlo 3D Cab
for all the guys, they would like to remove the blue ugly O2 TouchFlo 3D skin, without flashing the Diamond! ;-)

Hello everyone,
I've got a vodafone NLD htc diamond and it is really slow.
My experience with htc windows mobile is mostly good, but the delay
in application switching, touchflow delay and just small keys is really annoying.
I hope to update my diamond as quickly as posibble because i cant stand this vodafone theme
I've come this far to get the .raw files: Part00 - Part03.raw
I'm looking to reconstruct this as a stock rom so i can fallback to this for warrenty reasons. Vodafone here in the netherlands doesnt give good support in my experience, so i dont want to be depending on them
i've tried some cookers but i get stuck on stuff that is just beyond me.
I dont have a os.nd and the original stock rom isnt anywhere in sight to download.
So how can i build myself a rom based on only the raw files?
If someone could help me with this, or maby someone with alot of experience can do this if i send them my raw files?
Thanks in advanced!
hmm if you got your rom dumped and pack I would love to have it. I want to be able to return to my stock 1.37 vodafone nl rom before updating with another rom.
ppl please help here.
I'm also interested in this rom. I looked everywere on the vodafone site but is seems like they don't have the original rom posted there. So if someone can cook this rom. I would like to have it
kicking for help. Help cag please
Hi Guys!
First @ all. Thank you for this great Community, this great tutorials and all this help and stuff you can find here. It is realy great
But now ... I got a little prob here. I want to restore my MDA Compact IV from T-Mobile with it original Rom and SPL. I can find the ROM but the SPL is missing and I need it for warranty reasons. Does anybody has this SPL and can send or upload it for me? It is for the german version of my lovely Diamond. If it's another language I wouldn't really care about it. The most important thing is that this ugly T-Mobile Logo is back again
Thank you for your help.
I will take a look on this fred tomorrow morning after a looooong sleep

Use the search function.. There's a good site called "modmydiamond.." They have the answer there. I've pasted the page below:
http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=27
I used that function. The problem is that this guide offers me only the htc spls. Not that from T-Mobile
Somewhere on this forum you can download the official tmobile ROM for the UK. That one contains a Tmobile SPL. It is a UK version, but they might be the same....
just upgraded to the touch diamond from the e650... but there seem to be LOADS more roms for this phone, im just wondering what the best one is or what is the update for my one.
rom ver:1.93.405.1 wwe
rom date :08/06/08
radio:1.00.25.05
i tryed to download am updated rom from htc site by adding my s/n but it doesnt let me, i gues my phone is an inport from hong kong :S tho it have registerd on the uk site :S
would be greatfull if someone can help, best cooked rom and updated standerd rom???
could also have somethink to do with its from orange??? tried to look on the orange website but couldnt find my phone on ther :S
so if anyone knows of a orange rom update too would be good. tho i dont want ****y orange branding
try to download the newest htc rom with Internet Explorer
use this as serial on htc website : ht822gn28022
btw, try cooked roms, they are lot better than stocks and dont ask which one is best coz different people likes different roms
I ordered mine through Hong Kong also (im from Australia), and like you I cant get a 'stock' ROM to download via the official site, and even if you get someone else to download it for you, it comes up as the wrong ROM type when you attempt to flash it.
There is a Telstra ROM floating around that you can download via unofficial means, and I got that to install ok, but it has a heap of bigpond specific links on it.. not to mention doesnt actually work without a Telstra SIM (plus its a boring ROM anyway).
As for cooked ROM's, yes id recommend just choose one you like, they are all decent, some just have better applications or aesthetics which is nice, however if I had my time again, I might think twice, because there is a hard-reset issue that has been floating around for quite a few users... and the fixes havent worked, so I pretty much need to get a new phone now.
before you loose hours and hours trying
try the BsB-o, best rom here
yo adsoxda my diamond was on orange france, from france i cannot use my model number on htc website as well, but i used that one (ht822gn28022) which wasnt come frome my phone and downloaded rom, flashed and enjojed for couple of days before i moved to cooked . Gary dont forget about hard spl and mitty have fun
Try bort rom.i think the best
I recommend you the Best ROM! it's the Best!
make your own rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513311
BSB 6.5Q only Titanium
it works great for me!!!!
LESS RAM USAGE, FAST, STABLE AND FULLY WORKING WITH iGO, S2U2 and CHANGESCREEN!
THE TOP!
"best" is relative ... it all depends on what you want - features? Speed? Stability? Fancy animations? etc etc.
I've gone through a few ROMs, and really like Dia Duit's ROM. Very stable, very fast, lots of memory.The only way to find out for sure is to try it for yourself.
Of course it's so!
thanks people tryed a few and useing bsb one, not sure witch revs tho. i install the hard spl befor it too.
meny thanks
Yes, always make sure you Hard-SPL before flashing any ROM, and I'd also strongly recommend to MTTY before any flash, and it'll be a much more pleasant experience flashing and trying different ROM's!
Good luck, enjoy!
I love c_shekhar 's ROM.
Energy ROM the best! =D
Hi guys...
I like this forum, you can find so much stuff here, which leads me to my question for you, I have a QTEK 9000 (ripped a new and unused one from the internet) which I would like to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.
I know where to find the ROM's and I read everything about how to upgrade, but, I am not so technical in the ROM know about, and before I mess up my beautiful QTEK.
I need some help with information about a good Windows Mobile 6 ROM i can use to upgrade, there are a lot of them, but I am unable to see which one is good and which is not.
I want to use a clean as possible ROM for that, non I-MATE or HTC stuff on it (if you get my drift), maybe I as to much, like i said before, I found the ROM's but can any one of you guys give me hand which one i can use, which is stable and works fine.
I don't use the QTEK as a phone, only as a mini-netbook with wifi :-D
Thanks to anyone responding to my thread here.
Regards, alexander-wolf
alexander-wolf, by stable I assume you mean that you don't want to see your phone freeze when doing important tasks/answering calls...etc? If this is the case, then I can only suggest to use the last WM5 rom from Swat4 found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409966
Or if you want WM6 rom, try Tomal's v8.2 and v7.7 - I've found them to be the most stable but at times, I had problems with phone freezing when new sms/mms/phone calls coming in.
I've switched back to Swat4's WM5 which has never let me down.
Thnx
@ Final5k
Thank you for your advice, I will give it a go (i allready made a copy of my original WM5 ROM just in case)...
Regards,
