Help!! - Can't Upgrade anything on my Diamond

Hello to anyone who can help me...
i am posting this thread after searching this forum for answers to my problem, and i could not find the answers...
I have the Diamond (DIAM100) with Original SPL 1.37.000 and GER Stock Rom installed.
My Upgrade goal is HardSPL 1.38 Signed (Olinex) / DiamondProject V2 GER / radio .05
I try to upgrade SPL, Radio and Rom according to several guides in this forum, but nothing seems to work for me.
I tried using the RUU Program with HardSPL, tried Diamond CustomRUU, tried manual Bootloader access, everytime the Upgrade Software stays at 0% (on the phone also) and after about 5 minutes i get ERROR [262].
Luckily, i haven't bricked my diamond yet, it always came back to life again.
i can confirm, that the device enters bootloader mode, then changes to grey screen with progress bar. But that is all.
Maybe it is a Vista issue, maybe not.
But all i get is ERROR [262]: Update Error
Suggestions, anyone?
Thanks in advance for any serious help...

... Running Vista Ultimate 32bit, but not sure if that will make a difference...
I will try to get hands on XP computer tonite....

You can always try running the RUU update utility in WinXP32 compat mode.

What Hard SPL ar eyou using???.... usually the problem...
you will need Developer edition if the ROM is not signed.

developer edition worked for me on Vista 32. Thanks guys!

OK
I ran a Hard-SPL (from the dev thread) Diamond-OliNex
This completed and did whatever it did and i had to do the basic setup on the phone again.
I have now got the radio ending .06 from this thread this thread and cant get it to work with the OilNex Hard SPL or the 1.34 listed in that thread.
I'm back to square one where Error 262 Update error is occuring.
I'm tring to flash the radio as the O/S i have appears to be running sweet but its having web issues that appear to be DNS/Connection related.
This needs an idiots guide like the other phones have .... 'coz i'm an idiot and I can't do it.

Yeah, but for me the problem still is to get ANY HardSPL on the Diamond in the first place.
I was trying to put HardSPL 1.38_Signed to the phone...
Adwinp: thanks for the advice, but did not work either...
As far as i can tell, this may be a problem with the USB driver from the Windows mobility center software...
I will try on real XP and give you feedback tomorrow.
thanks guys.

The developer edition i.e. unsigned worked for me.

I had the exact same problems. I tried every possible combination of Hard SPL and ROMs. Here is what worked for me in the end (no problems since):
1. install newest .Net 3.5 on windows PC (don't know if this has anything to do with my problems but after installing everything started working fine)
2. install Unsigned HardSPL (developer edition): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
3. install chosen ROM / Radio ROM with RUU (Rom Updater Utility): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396073
After flashing a ROM the device makes a hard reset so you should backup your data first! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
good luck!

Finally it worked, also thanks to all who replied in this thread.
So i like to share my experience in this:
1. first i downloaded all SPL and Radio i could find, then i looked for GER language Rom. Quickly decided for DPT V2.
2. First attempt to flash failed completely on a Vista PC (32 Bit Ultimate)
3. Back home, moved all the downloaded files to my XP SP2 PC..
4. Noticed: DiamondCustomRUU would not start in XP, got error message saying "... could not be initialized", so i tried the standard RUU instead, with the shortcut of manually putting the PDA into Bootloader mode...
5. Sucessfully flashed HardSPL 1.38 on the Diamond, and the device rebooted with Hard reset.
6. Next i tried to upgrade Radio to .05 Version... Failed, stuck a 0%
7. Changed SPL to 1.40 (Unsigned), now the Radio could be flashed. Seems that Radio Files are Unsigned?
8. Flashed DPT V2. Success.
But still wondered about the unsigned Radio file...
Again, thank you all

Orange HTC touch diamond ROM update

Hello i have a HTC orange Touch Diamond and i want to update the ROM as it is terrible. I am not that technical. can someone please explain what i need to do from scratch.
Thank you

I suggest your search the forum...

hello newbie
yes use the search button...it works really well

You first need to flash your diamond with one of the hard spl on this site and after you've done that you can take your pick from any of the roms on here

sorry guys i did look just didnt understand much. I am trying to use Hard SPL just cant get it to work.

same here
I have an orange htc Diamond and would really apreciate which files wouldwork. Everything I have tried stay's at Zero and ends up in an error.
Any help would be greatly ppreciated

root directory
to use hard spl i have to put a file in the root directory! but what is the root directory?

Hi James, your failing at 0% most likely because the SPL your using will not allow unsigned ROM's. Look for another SPL, one with developer edition in the title is good and works quite well for me.
I have an Orange also, the first thing to do is install the SPL then flash the radio (.05 is good) then get a new ROM!
Hope this helps

i think i broke my phone!!!!!
lol
i put the 2 files sspl and jump into my Diamond then i run sspl from my diamond and my phone resets.
The background image flashs a bit now. I still cant update the ROM and ideas what im doing wrong?

You need to do the following
1. Download the Unsigned HardSPL 1.24 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621 and extract to a folder on your PC. Make sure you have Active sync installed and setup with your Diamond. Run the Updater in the 1.24 folder. Once the Phone reboots reconnect with active sync.
2. Download any of the ROMS on here and run the ROM to flash the phone.
Thats it !!!!!

as i go to add a ROM i get a error saying the application failed to initialize properly ( 0xc0000135) click OK to terminate

Or check www.modmydiamond.info for easy to understand information

i get the above error as i try to add RUU

Hard SPL won't work
Hello,
From what I've read on the forum and also on www.modmydiamond.info, I gather I need to go through the Hard SPL step before installing any ROM.
However, after trying 2 different SPLs (hard_spl.120 and diamond_hspl_1.24) it still doesn't work.
I'm stuck at 0%.
Thanks

diamond won't upgrade to 1.93 hspl

I have a gsm diamond (from t-mobile uk) and have flashed it to 1.34 hspl to use the new 25.16 radio and dutty's v3.1 both are working fine however I can't *upgrade* (i know it's not an upgrade per se) to hspl 1.93. it's stuck on 1.34.
using customruu it goes through the normal motions and on screen shows it to 100% then restarts etc, but after i check by going into the bootloader it hasn't updated. I have looked about and search for some time now and don't see anyone expericencing quite the same thing.
any ideas??

I have the exact same issue... I tired updating it from 1.24 to 1.93 and it restarted like it updated it. But when I go into boot loader its still got the old hardspl.
Does anyone know why??
I have tried searching around for a solution but no luck

I'm no noob and i've flashed 100's of times across many fones and unbricked a few with some careful reading but this seems very odd and stupidly simple. No idea what i'm missing.... only thing i can think to try is to flash from internal storage, but i would think this unwise with the hardspl as I thought hardspl would control access to the internal storage like some sort of bios perhaps?!

Same here
Hey guys,
Does anyone knows what is the resolution for this? I having the same problem as well.

Hi guys!
HSPL blocks write attempts to the SPL-part of the nand! You need to run SSPL from windows mobile and then flash the HSPL-Version you want. This is pretty much the only way to override that write-protection!

Hi everybody,
got yesterday another diamond, after mine died some time ago. It has 193 spl and I cannot upgrade to olinex spl. It runs through everything, but upon reboot it still has the original 193 spl. Any ideas? I really need to flash, mine speaks Dutch and I want it in English. Please help. Kind regards. Ben

Urgent! My diamond has hardware problem and need to fallback to stock ROM and SPL.

Hi,
My Diamond has no response on the screen, so I think I need to return to factory for repairing. However I have difficulties in falling back to stock ROM and SPL.
From the Wiki:
---------------
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
...
-----------------
I can't flash my ROM to latest HK WWE CSL ROM (2.03) as it just stopped at 0%. I'm using SPL-1.30.OliNex.
Questions:
0) Why? Any step I've missed? I've just copied the .NBH from HTC official ROM download. Should I get the .NBH from the Wiki instead?
1) Should I flash to v1.93 (the very beginning of the ROM)?
2) Must the RADIO be flashed back as well? or the above Stock ROM has included the RADIO already?
3) Anyone can give me a reference on the step-by-step in details...
Thanks!
Please help...

If the latest was the offical from the site then you could use that - as you are having issues flashing this with 1.30 HSPL, I would suggest updating that to 1.40

Thanks a lot.
Re Q3, so do you mean if I extracted the stock NBH, it's only OS but not including RADIO? If so, I will get the RADIO from wiki page later. Would you please clarify for me?
After your information, I think the steps in Wiki are clear. Thanks.

If this is HK ROM is the one you have downloaded from HTC PAGE then it has a radio included

Since my Diamond is totally malfunction in the touch screen, I can't response to all the confirmation & prompts...
I've failed to install Stock ROM and tried your recommendation on upgrading to HSPL 1.40. There was a confirmation on running the program in my Diamond and I can't press YES and now my diamond is just like bricked.
I've also tried pressing VOL DOWN + Reset to connect the Diamond via USB. The ROM Update Utility has "successfully" update the HSPL, but actually when I hard reset it and found it's still running 1.30... Can I just use this approach to fallback to Factory status??
Anyone has good idea on how to fallback to Factory Stock ROM, RADIO and SPL, provided that my screen has totally no response to me?
PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE help.

You will not be able to update olipros Hard SPL in bootloader mode as the SPL is protected and the 1.30 will prevent this although show its been done.
What you will need to do then is just load a 1.93 ROM from boot loader. the were some in that link i posted earlier. as to reverting to the default SPL - you may be luck not to need the screen for any confirmation. but running a new SPL to overwrite Oli's you will need to use windows and the RRU

I've tried to load 1.93 ROM to my diamond but failed on OliNex 1.30. The link in modmydiamond.info on OliNex 1.40 Signed seems not correct, as it's still 1.30 after flashed. I've then flashed UNSIGNED 1.40 OliNex SPL (also downloaded from modmydiamond.info) and now flashing the 1.93 ROM in progress from bootloader.
I will flash the Stock SPL through the Bootloader after that...I hope I can successfully fallback and get it repair...
Last question (I hope), the stock SPL should be 1.37 so I want to confirm whether it can boot 1.93 ROM.
Thanks a lot!

Because these Unsigned HARD SPL 's are write protected.....you will fail all the time. Not sure if stock SPL can undue the write protection but if you still get stuck after you try then in order to bypass write protection I know Jump SPL allows for this.

you're right. When I flash the Stock SPL, it is "successful" but actually it doesn't update the SPL (i.e yet running OliNex 1.40). Where can I get the Jump SPL?

That ROM had a different boot image - so you need to replace that by flashing another splash .NBH file using RUU.
Original splash can be found HERE
and if needed CUSTOM RUU HERE
Just un-zip these and put the splash file in the same folder as the Custom RUU and run the RUU - the flash should take a few seconds and viola - bye bye Diamond project splash.

I think as long as the SPL is changed and the ROM is of the original language the I think it should be OK to send back like that

As said before; you should be able to successfully run the stock SPL using RUU - if you are trying this via bootloader it will not work.

Which is the original SPL?? 1.23, 1.34 or 1.37? I do recall taking a picture of the original SPL when i 1st got the Diamond for days like that but i just can't find it now
I'm bought it from Malaysia. Anybody can help me confirm this??

I've tried to connect to ActiveSync successfully although the Initial Setup wizard on my Diamond. I've then run the RUU from RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and put the stock SPL .NBH file into the extracted directory. It can retrieve my device info, and when I confirm the update of ROM, after 3-5 sec it said about connection failure. I can browse the Internal Storage at the moment yet.
I've then tried similar thing using the Custom RUU inside the package diamond-hspl-1.34.zip. This time I can see 100% update. When I press VolDown and reset, the SPL is still v1.40 ONliEx.
What's wrong with my procedures above?

Is it possible to upgrade a ROM of HTC x7500 via a bootloader menu?

Hi all,
How to upgrade rom via bootlaoader menu (after pressing the camera and hardreset)? If it's possible could you tell me which ROM i can use to upgrade a HTC advantage x7500/ATHENA-C9 with these info on bootloader menu:
ATHE100
IPL-v1. 00
ATHE100
SPL-v1. 07. 0000
Thanks for help!

Hi marius
I read your other post today and seeing no one else has replied , I will try to help you.
Have you tried a hard reset ?
If you have and had no luck , try to find an original shipped rom consistent with your spl and flash while in bootloader .
Don't try to flash any of the doctored roms, either spl 1.2 or 3.5 as you will not be able.
It is a long time since I have used the unlocker but I think if you read through the later posts , the authors used a wrapper program that requires an initial activesync connection to work.
I will look in here occasionally to see if you get it sorted or you can pm me if you have a question.
regards michael

Hello Lakeman,
if i write you it's because i read your reply below and i'm very happy.
1rst, i tried hard reset but it didn't work.
In fact, here is my story:
My HTC x7500 crashes after startup so i can't use it but when i tried to flash it i received the error 294:Invalid Vendor Id because i used the wrong ROM. where can i get it please?
Many thanks!

I asume you already read the Wiki, if not here it is!:

Good luck,

hi all,
thank you orb3000, i read the wiki and i found in the ATHENA x7500 manual that it's possible to Upgrade OS through SD Card in bootloader menu but it seems like the download OS image link http://htcscm10.htc.com.tw/SDO is no longer available. Please could someone help me found it?
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
i tried to upgrade my HTC x7500 via SD card using a .nbh file found in ap3.rar
but it didn't work. After enter in the bootloader, it displays "loading..." and "00068002" and after few seconds it's going back to the colored screen displaying the Rom version 1.07.0000
What does the "0068002" mean? i suppose it's an error code.
Please could somebody help me get a image file version earlier than 1.07.0000?
thnks!

Hi marius
I assume you read
[/QUOTE]
Rename the .NBH file to ATHEIMG.nbh and copy it to your miniSD card. Press camera+com manager+soft reset to bootloader and wait for reading ATHEIMG.nbh from SD. Remember, the miniSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem before copying the file ATHEIMG.nbh to your miniSD. After finished, do a soft reset.
[/QUOTE]
sometimes sd flashing wont work with an sdhc card
but in any case you have not unlocked the rom yet.
You need spl 1.2 to flash the ap3 rom
I cant remember if you are the guy trying to find a dutch rom but try and find an original rom for your athena and then flash that.
once it is working you can apply the unlocker and then flash any rom

Hi lakeman,
Unfortunately i can't use the spl 1.2 to unlock my HTC X7500 because it crashes just after startup (when displaying desktop) preventing me from using. Is there a possibility to use the spl 1.2 via the miniSD card? I'm not using the sdhc card.
Thanks for help!

hi again
youmust unlock the athena before flashing an spl1.2 rom
you can flash your original rom from the bootloader menu to get a working rom ,
once you have done this you can use the unlocker and then flash any 1.2rom

Marius you need to get the original language rom that came with your athena
I don't know for sure but i think spl 1.07 is the dutch rom which is nowhere to be found at present
i suggest doing a search for this or contacting htc or the original supplier of your phone.
Alternatively post a request in xda but I would do it in the general section to get a wider audience

Hello,
Thanks Lakeman. I tried to get it from HTC Support in vain, as you recomended, i'll post a new thread on xda concerning the spl1.07 (my ROM language is English not dutch).
Regards.

I had another thought.
Have you tried flashing the dopod roms from here
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Athena/Shipped_Complete_Updates/
or does your machine have tmobile branding , in which case you could try the tmobile roms
regards michael
