Hi.
a few newbie questions.
1. Is it possible to update new ANZ ROM to factory unlocked European version of HTC?
2. Is there swedish/finnish keyboard layout and T9 on that ANZ ROM?
3. Is there Cooked Rom available based on latest Official (and fixed 28% problem). Not PDAVIET because I want original splash screen, and no other than original applications.
this thread will allow you to flash the new ROM to your phone without issues..
if you're unsure, take a look at my flashing guide
i download pdaviet HTC_Trinity_3.00.07.08.PV but its locked what the password and where its gone
OK, so I’m going to be getting a UK Orange branded Touch Diamond this week. My aim is to remove the Orange branding in the software and revert it to standard HTC black and white theme. As it would be out of the box if I bought one direct from HTC. I’ve no interest in any tweaks/improvements to the standard ROM (different radio ROMs etc) at the moment, maybe once I’ve managed it once successfully I’ll worry about that! I’ve spent a day or so reading these forums and though it seems complicated to a beginner I think I have it all figured out now! I would appreciate however if someone experienced could cast an eye over what I’m about to do and let me know if I’ve made any errors that could result in me ruining an expensive piece of kit!
My understanding is that there are basically 3 stages to flashing a new ROM onto a Diamond, backing up, loading hardSPL and loading the desired ROM. So my plan is to do the following:
1. Back up all operator settings (WAP, MMS, GPRS etc) or use something like PIM Backup (though I won’t have any data on my Diamond as it will be brand new!)
2. So, first I download the signed version of hardSPL (1.40), from here (http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=2 ). My understanding is that by using the signed version I’ll reduce to a minimum any chance of buggering up my Diamond and basically it will stop me from doing anything stupid!!
3. Then follow the instructions on that same page, which will install hardSPL.
4. Now find a ROM that I want to load onto the Diamond, from what I can tell this (1.34.831.1 WWE from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399680) is the latest HTC released ROM in English (PLEASE correct me if this is wrong!!)
5. Follow the instructions detailed here to install the ROM (http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4). As I understand it, when I unzip the ROM that I have downloaded, it includes the 6 files listed on that page, including the ROM update utility.
As I understand it following the instructions on that final page will leave me with a Diamond that is not in any way Orange branded and has the latest official HTC released ROM on it (black and white themed menus etc etc).
So, is everything that I’ve written correct, and if I follow these instructions will I avoid ruining my phone? If I’ve missed anything to check before I start or that I need to do please point me to the thread that explains it so that I can look over it.
Hopefully over time this thread can be a one stop shop for absolute noobs who are unsure of how exactly to go about flashing their device, and in what order to do things!!
Thanks

I'm still a noob, too, but two things you should make sure:
- Have your battery on the phone fully charged
- Disable standby on battery and on AC power in the phone and on your main PC so they don't shut down during the flash process
I just flashed my Diamond successfully today, it's actually quite easy if you get the right steps - and thosee above look just like what I did.
Good luck!

Really, that's the first and not recommended.
1.93 is the last, but not very obvious where it is released from.
1.37 is what I know the last official release.
Orange UK ROM is 1.37...
When flashing one for a friend I exprienced issues trying to flash HardSPL with 2 errors but managed it in the end with Olipro HardSPL 1.3 the but Diamond project team 2 rom on, the flashed radio rom back to 05.

1.93 is supposed to be the last official stock ROM from HTC (yes, it's English - WWE). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408281
How do you tell if it really is stock and uncooked? No idea, but it works very well indeed and is very responsive.
Oh, and the dev hard spl works to flash 1.93; some others I tried didn't. YMMV

Does that mean that the Orange branded ROM is 1.37? Which one should I be using to remove the Orange branding and revert to the standard HTC interface?
Ok I'd like it if one or more rom Developer/Cooker/Chef(Whatever) could assist me in creating a Rom for the HTC Diamond. I'll be attempting to modify the Following;
Boot Splash GFX
Manilla GFX
Media Player GFX
Comm Mgr GFX
Incorporating Tweaks as per other cooks.
I've got the WM6.1 Naked Kitchen but it looks like a hermes rom as it's available on the Hermes Forum.
Has anyone got a Diamond Kitchen?

hope it helps

Thanks I just tried to build me a rom from another custom rom but got stuck at the Diamond Splash Screen. Is this because the SPL boot loader is incompatible with that particular rom?
Or is it because I copied to the Memory and flashed via the phone method?
1st time I've tried that method.
I've recovered by going into the standard boot loader and re-flashing using software.
Hey guys this isnt my first time flashing my device but ive run into a little problem:
I flashed my HTC diamond before to the Gen.Y D2 R5.5 ROM. After I had to return my device for warranty so i flashed it back to the original Rogers Rom and Radio.
I got my new device and now ive been looking at these few ROMS or themes or w/e u want to call them:
|6.5.5|WWE| ★ Energy Series (23563/21899) ★ |Apr 21| Sense 2.5 ! - GTX Themed is what i want to put on my phone if i put this ROM
GTX Sense 2.5 - (looks beautiful but i can see its cancelled and is continued by the lower ROM chef)
[PRJ] [THEME] [Prev] GTX Sense 2.5 Theme - Continuation of development - Continuation of the above one and is so nice but I dont know how to add it since its a theme and not a rom. Also how do i put it if i just got my diamond straight from Rogers.
I would like to put the last of the 3 but Im not sure how since it isnt a ROM so can someone please tell me step by step?
Also if I want to put the first one as well is all i need to do again do flash it with signed hardspl 1.93...and then upgrade the radio and put that rom? Because I tried to use hardspl signed 1.93 but it doesnt show anything in the folder but a .nbh file and no custom ruu app inside.
All help is greatly appreciated
Thank
sorry guys i just needed the hardspl developers version i was using the signed version
I bought my HTC Touch Diamond the other day, and the previous owner flashed it.
ROM: DonSalariROM WWE
Radio:1.00.25.05
Protocol: 52.29.25.12H_1.00.25.05
It has some bugs and I've had to pulll the battery numerous times due to it freezing up. I want to just flash it back to the stock 6.1 ROM that it came with.
I've gone on htc.com to try and download the ROM, but when I put my serial number in it says "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
Can anyone point me in the direction of the Stock HTC 6.1 Unbranded ROM?
And would I need to change the Radio or not?
Check your PM
I have same problem with my MDA Compact IV ... I want to downgrade from my unofficial rom with WM 6.5, because it is not quite stable, but cant figure out how to download official rom fro diamond and I really dont want that ugly pink t-mobile version. Thank you for help.

You can choose your operator, or choose HTC Rom for unbranded
