Hello,
I really want to upgrate to WM6 as soon as possible. My phone operator offer me some services (emails, web, messenger) only if I use the prvided settings and applications.
If I upgrade to WM6 and things don't work, is going back to factory state as simple to flashing HTC WM5 + EXT ROM ?
Jean
I was wondering the same thing: I would like to upgrade to WM6, but not without having a backup of the WM5 rom supplied by the Wireless Network Operator.
I searched the forum on how to backup the rom, but was unable to find any usable information. Anybody would like to help us out?
you can't back it up in that way.
just download one of the wm5 roms posted here.
1. The original WM5 ROM for the s620 is available. It's out there online if you do a little searching. It used to be hosted here. I ran it on my Dash for months before going to WM6.
2. HTC is going to be releasing the WM6 update soon. This will be a MUCH better firmware than T-Mobile's. Also, if you wait for it, you won't have to worry about unlocking or anything.
-Mc
p.s. Smartphones don't have an Extended ROM.
alright thanks guys, I'll just wait till the official HTC release, I also found the wm5 roms, so I should be all set.
I was able to find an unbranded rom (not sure if it the latest... which is the latest French version ?) but if smart phones doesn't contain ext rom, where are the customizations ?
My french phone operator is Ten Mobile. I think it will be tricky to find that particular rom.
wm5 rom...
Can someone email me a link or email me the original wm5 rom for the htc s620 and not the t-mobile dash version?
TIA
s620 wm6 rom
I really need instructions link and download link of the WM6 ROM for Htc S620.
Can Anyone help me on that? I will apreciate it a lot.
Thanks

HI.
What is best version of WM6 for this model???
thanks
This question, I have already asked me. The selection of roms at the moment is huge!
How it actually looks with the new official WM6.1?
Cu

Go with one of the Schaps Roms
Schaps has made great Roms for both 6.0 and now 6.1. His 6.1 is still a beta, I'm running it with no issues. Great Rom. You may want to hang on until he posts the final version of it (should be any day now, maybe over the weekend).
Just my two cents worth.
Installation instructions you'll find all over this forum. just search for it.
\MIG
Hard to say which ROM is best as it depends on what software you want installed, reliability, performance etc
I have always been an admirer of Schaps, Pays, Black Satin to name a few
All this info can be found if you search these forums
Personally I am using Schaps 6.1 Beta, and looking forward to his full release which is due soon (been waiting now for a few weeks).
Check out the wiki pages for more info
i have found Schaps 4.31 Lite is the best so far just straight up WM6 no 6.1
Thats exactly my point, each person has their own favourite, and this question has been asked 1000's of times in this forum
spartan THIs is a n00b question but if I try Schaps beta 6.1 can I flash back down to lets just say his 4.31??
Can some one post me newest:
1. SPL
2.Radio
3.Rom
thanks for all
I can say which one for now
this is the ROM of PAYs 6.1
here it is:

Hi everyone!
Here's the deal! I'm no noob to flashing, cooking and HardSPL as I'm positive there are plenty of users who are swimming in the same pool.
Moving from another device's forum (Trinity) to the Diamond forum is quite a shock. So many posts, so many threads.
There are so many HardSPLs. OK, no problem! But what I DO miss is a tutorial thread with nice and clear descriptions stating for instance "You will need this HardSPL for this ROM", ""You will need this HardSPL for Official ROM", "You don't need any HardSPL for Official ROM", etc.
For instance:
I'm running an old version of Radio and Official Diamond ROM (Stock), 1.00.25.03 Radio and 1.37.479.3 WWE ROM.
Bootloader version is:
Code:
DIAM100 64M
SPL-1.37.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
I'd like to first upgrade to another Official ROM, like RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.
No info on following:
- changing an original to another original ROM: is there need for HardSPL?
- changing a supposed EU original to an Asia original ROM: is there need for HardSPL?
- if there is need for it when upgradin ROM, which one to choose based on bootloader info?
- if there is need for it when upgradin Radio, which one to choose based on bootloader info?
etc.
I can live with my new device with stock ROM, I can tweak it, no problem.
But it is my strong belief that a detailed tutorial/description/info/guide thread could get a nice sticky.
Something that would make new users like:
"Oh, I just bought a Diamond, I read this sticky, compared my bootloader info with the ones stated in the thread, checked my ROM and Radio, checked my new ROM and Radio which I want to flash, so I need this/I don't need any HardSPL and it worked"
Yes, call it spoon-feeding, but while looking at the Forums and reading and searching, there's so much clutter some can't even find the Search button!
My two cents!
I totally agree !!! We are needing that "tutorial for dummies"
Im new to the Diamond forum too, had a tytn for ages though.
I found everything i needed to know on the wiki

Yes, but still, is there any need for HardSPL when flashing to another Official HTC ROM? And is there any need for HardSPL when flashing to another issuer of the Official HTC ROM (from EU to Asia HK)?

You don't need HardSPL to flash an official ROM. If you want to be really sure then simply go to the HTC site (I used HTC Europe), register as a user, input your phone's serial number and it should tell you that you can download the 1.93 ROM. This way you can do a 100% official upgrade before deciding if you want to use a cooked ROM.

I know that, remember, I'm not a n00b.
First, I have no updates in my registered Diamond e-Club account.
Second, this is what I am talking about: You said:

You need hardspl on every one, and all are offcial roms as they were downloaded
only the rom you can download from your own HTC e-club site dont need hardspl.

Contradictory information?
Now since I don't have any updates in my own e-Club, there's the HardSPL option with other (even Official) ROMs.
Question is: which one? (1.23, 1.24, 1.34, Developer edition, Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex, HardSPL_OliNex138_Signed or RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition).
This is crazy!
Maybe that's the difference then - perhaps ROM downloads via the e-club are treated differently, although I can't think how.
Seems that Cmonex and Olipro are the SPL experts here (I'm sure you've already seen this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402) so maybe they're the best ones to help.
If it helps I updated to HardSLP 1.4 and ran quite happily on my stock ROM before upgrading to Dutty's ROM. I guess it's down to how adventurous/risky you want to be.
Good luck.
1. look at the next posts, i blew it on this answer..
i like my diamond with hardspl and unlocked (using the developers, unsigned hardspl). i advice you to do the same. this covers all, signed, unsigned and official ROMs.
here, an answer from THE expert:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2484533&postcount=143
2. if i convinced you to hardspl then go to the unsigned version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950.
i am using it from the beginning (2 month at least) and i flashed my diamond 4 times without any problem at all.

already there, in almost each ROM thread.
i think all cooks start their thread with the warning (hardspl first!) and a link to the recommended hardspl.
bepe is "all signed" so he never mention which hardspl.

i wonder what happened to you.... learn from post #3!! you are a ROM cook...you are the "uber" user! we should ask you questions
I know you say if you flash an official (uncooked) ROM to your handset then you don't need SPL however I have a Vodafone branded Diamond which won't allow you to flash a non Vodafone branded ROM so I am ssuming that you still need to use SPL to go to an unbranded ROM even if it is generic HTC.

i think you are right. never thought at this scenario.....
usually i don't buy my pda branded. no plan, no 3 years, free as a bird!
thanks for bringing it to my attention.
yeah, hard-spl to allow you to flash ROMs from other regions..
technically you shouldn't need it to 'protect' your device since its an official ROM upgrade, but then again you're trying to flash an upgrade that's not from your region so not too sure how that affects your warranty.. i would stick with hard-spl no matter what.
Although you may experience better results with certain ROMs using a certain SPL (this hasn't been clearly shown on the diamond to my knowledge) seems like the SPL is more tied to your hardware (why certain people get screen flicker and fuzzy fonts after flashing.. wrong SPL). so it stands to reason if your hardware doesn't change, you *shouldn't* have to change your SPL just cause you're flashing a new ROM

1. you don't need hardspl when you want to flash an official ROM.
if you should need one then HTC should release it with the ROM. no such thing!
HTC release official ROM "like it is" for all ppl even for the ones that never heard of hardspl. simple logic.
if you buy it branded look at the next two posts!

I have experince now with 3 HTC devices: 1. i had Trinity with wwe rom when i bought it-> try to put it to my language (Finnish ROM) didnt work, used hardspl-> it worked
2. Polaris with wwe 6.0 rom, tried to update to the latest wm6.0 rom which was a rom from Singapore, no succes-> put hardspl in device->it worked
3. In my Diamond i put hardspl right away(after 2 hour use), so that one i didnt test at all, based on my previous experience I didnt even try to flash the official 1.93 rom witout hardspl
So at least my concution is that u must have hardspl even when you want to flash a official rom from another region. Dont offcourse no if that is a fact, just what i have experience
[/QUOTE]So at least my concution is that u must have hardspl even when you want to flash a official rom from another region. Dont offcourse no if that is a fact, just what i have experience[/QUOTE]
From my experience from the diamond, you have to flash hardspl onto your handset before you can use 'other region' roms even when it is 'official'.
I have a HK WWE handset and tried to flash my rom with the first upgrade rom from SEA, and it wouldnt flash. it would say my handset is not from the correct region.
i flashed a hard spl afterwards and it worked.
So from pak1234 experience we can make some conclusion? its the same experience I got with Polaris and Trinity

Hi,
As a total recent Noob (TRN), I spent about 2 working days trying to find out where to start. In particular, the definition of HardSPL, ROM and Radio.
It was very difficult to ramp up to speed. you guys rock, seriously, but your community can thrive if you lower the gate a bit. Think about all the time you'll save in the long run by giving noobs somewhere to start. 'There are no stupid questions, only arrogant responses'. -- I read that somewhere here.
For anyone who enjoys noob-razing, come visit me and I'll stick you in with my horses. Get some payback.
A Where-To-Start sticky would help enormously.
peace.
PS - Eventually I found www.modmydiamond.info and started reading. I nearly cried when my Swiss language-locked Diamond started talking in good auld English.

congrats on yr first successfull step (english language on yr swiss locked diamond)! perseverance and good reading skills pay back.
welcome to our forum!
from yr post i can understand that you started as an intelligent user/member of this forum (as opposed to noob) by using this forum accordingly with it's rules.
there are stupid questions. if one of the next is called by somebody "arrogant response" then he'll have to adjust or just grow elephant skin (i can name a few that already did):
1. "search, this was already posted". (most used)
2. "read the manual." (almost an insult)
3. "read wiki." (friendly, useful advice)
4. "most of the polls are useless." (no comment necessary)
5. "comparisons between any other ppc and diamond does not belong here, this a diamond only forum." (sadly not enough enforced)
a noob is not somebody with a low count of posts. a noob is somebody with a noobish attitude (total disregard of the forum's rules and it's members, wanting everything now, ready, chewed and put in his mouth).
respect the forum and it's members and you'll get respect and help beyond yr wildest dreams.
yr PS only confirm all from the above.
i prefer not to comment yr horses-payback threat
noob here
Hello all, noob here, just got my diamond via vodafone NL.
The device is sim locked contrary to what the agreement with was.
The current rom running on it makes this device incredibly slow, my brother has an p3300 which works way faster than my diamond (but does not look so nice).
This made me start looking for a solution. I've been reading this site for three full days and I'm still very confused, everything and it's contrary is written here, how is one supposed to draw a conclusion?
With that said I would like to see a well written tutorial in plain english and that does not assume the reader is a techie.
It should explain:
- How to backup the original ROM and hardSPL
- How to flash a new rom and avoid issues with screen flickering and so on
- How to restore the original ROM and hardSPL in case the device needs to be send back for repair
- Clarify what to do with radio roms
- How to unlock a device to be used with any sim card (ok this already exists, i've seen the sticky)
Thanks
One more question to be added
- Why would you need a CID and security unlocker?
I thought it was just another name for sim card lock but apparently not.

You should go to Support section of their site, that is where they post ROM updates apparently. e-Club has only ringtones.
I am new to this so sorry if I sound like an idiot
Also this has probably been posted a hundred times but I couldnt find a clear step by step from beginning to end for newbies.
So maybe this can be a topic for the rest
How do I go about removing the rom I have on it now and adding a custom one
I have a Bell HTC Vogue
Someone said update the radio(how do I do this and where do I get it)
and what do I do after that?
Thanks and sorry again in advance
Real question is WHAT do you want to do with the phone ..
Currently there are 6.1 custom ROMs that are similar to original but function better
Then there are 6.1 ROMs with Touchflo2D AKA Manilla on them so they function like a Vogue but look like a Diamond or Touch Pro
Then there are the newest ROMs out there based on WinMO 6.5, completely new interface and functionality
but the idea is the same as far as step by step and there are LOTS of directions out there and search and patience can be your friend
1 - know what you want, look about and read about the different ROMs
- that is up to you do do but NFSFAN has both 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs going currently and worth a look
6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
6.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487&page=238
2 - Know your radio version, this can be done by restarting your phone and at the bottom reading the "R" number should be something at least 3.42.30 (higher is OK but not necessarily needed - search for Bell Radio for links for more info)
3 - read this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
that is the most comprehensive thread on unhlocking a phone, 2.31 Coke Unlocker is what you'll need, but first READ READ and then READ more it is very important you understand everything that can occur
4 - have your original ROM handy in case something goes wrong you can flash back to original and start over
5 - unlock phone
update radio
flash ROM of choice
Hard reset to reflash ROM (just a precautionary step seems to eliminate issues before they can happen)
Wipe hands on pants and dance away
Detroit Doug
ok I have 3.42.50 so where would I find this "Radio"
Detroit_Doug, big thanks I downloaded the unlocked
followed the onscreen instructions, put nsf's 6.5 on here and then hard reset it, everything works great
and are you actually in detroit?
any idea where I can find a identical diamond theme for this 6.5 rom?

Excellant, welcome to the addiction MUHAHAHAHAHA
I was in Detroit, moved to Las Vegas a couple years ago and its my usual nick on lots of sites so I keep it (its a poker nick I use as well)
As for themes for WinMO 6.5, they dont exist yet, 6.5 is a pre-release software and there is intention of themes being released when final comes out, until then the only changable items I know of on 6.5 are colors (look for CHome Color) and items on the main screen.
and as for a diamond theme, not yet, but I just read NFSFAN is releasing his 6.5 v5 today that will have M2D and Titanium included so you can change back and forth

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,
