Problem Rom Update

Please help me,
I've tried a rom update. But uring the update my phone
stopped.
All I know see is a screen with red/green/blue and white boxes. On the screen it says Herm100
My phones does not respond to soft/hard reset. Also if I want to sync it, it does not work.
Can anybody help me fix my phones? All ideas welcome!

Probably you've flashed wrong or broken ROM image. Fortunately bootloader is still alive, so you can easily reflash a correct ROM.

thnx,
but was is the correct rom then?
I've already tried to flash a new Rom but I cannot connect to Active Sync so is gives a error.
I've included a picture of my phone.
The text on the phone is:
Herm100
1PL-1.00
HERM100 MFG
SPL-1.01
At the bottom is says serial.
Could you please provide me with the correct Rom then?

Please correct me if im wrong but is that not a picture of a HTC Hermes??? I didnt even think it had been released yet, let alone any ROM updates?

Whatever it is, it ain't a universal
The hermes looks slightly different from the pix he posted:

I think they may be older pictures. These are newer ones i believe, with the two extra buttons:

Indeed. Nice one!

well in your first post you said you were trying to do a ROM update, which file were you using to update...was it actually for your device? at what point did the update stop?

the friend from whom I bought said I should do Rom update
So I tried the update of the Universal.

Not gonna work. You need the rom for your phone, which AFAIK hasn't been released yet.

Agreed. Which means you will now probably have to wait until the device is fully released so you can download the proper update and get it back up and running again

Considering that a prerelease of the HTC Star100 fetched 1700 dollars on ebay recently, I think you might have missed a business opportunity by flashing the wrong rom

oww.. but can't get the right Rom from my friend who's phone is working? in order words can I download his Rom?
When its possible than how do I do this?
eventually when putting the rom on my telephone, what a about the active sync connection that doesn't established?

which ROM did u use to update? Did u take from xda FTP??

iep, rom upgrades are available for your Hermes:

[ROM][IND]Indian 2G Diamond Ship

I went to a dealer and got a rom dump and rebuild with cmonex's help Thanks a bunch cmonex for helping me ...
this is a big storage rom so you will have a little extra space as well...
Here is the link for anyone that did end up flashing with some custom roms on the forums...
http://rapidshare.com/files/126887587/indian_ship_rom.rar
Also anyone with an indian diamond do not flash any roms available on forums yet

thx m8 for all the efforts and the upload...
though i must add that i hate HTC for launching a 2g model alone and then too it has the old ROM....
they still think they can get away by ignoring the major indian market [email protected]!
thx again n regards

That's why i mentioned that Me_p's ROM is new one.. That's the same one 1.37.720.2 WWE.. Boinger66.. Dont think this is old ROM as quoted by Outkasted..
I bought mine one for 26,700, from distributor directly.. Eagerly waiting to see it on 8th when i get it in hand (my relative coming back with it from Kerala)

tho am in India i got the 3g model
I really dont understand why they would release a 2g version just for the Indian market
when 3g is gonna come out in airtel and vodafone in mid sep.another wierd marketing strategy
anyone from chennai know where they service HTC phones ?

Question
Hi Guys,
if anyone is aware may be from past experiences, How will we be getting official ROM updates? will it be through Airtel or will be via HTC eCLub?
Thanks

We can never expect ROM upgrades.. Got my Diamond today.. Awesome. Was about to flash Bepe' ROM and halted after reading this thread..
Why is it not advised for flashing? Due to SIM locks? Someone mentioned non edge radio, what if i flash the rom without the radio? possible?

Thanx for the info.. So I have your modded panosha' ROM as the only option left? For the moment I dont see any big difference with it to the original stock rom apart from a little more Storage memory. Only thing I dislike is the SMS and MMS accounts being together

Will North American Diamond Work With Custom ROM'S...?

I bought the North American Version of the Diamond (lil bit thicker and with NA 3G Bands) and I'm wondering if these offerings will work with it without bricking it...
I had a previous bad experience flashing an Elf ROM onto my Elfin, which bricked it. I need to be sure this time. I searched the forum and google but could not come up with an answer...
Thanks for your help...

Btw I mean the North American GSM version of the Diamond. Not the Victor (CDMA:Sprint, Telus and Bell)

I flashed mine with no problem at all, just make sure you HARD-SPL your diamond first.

I bought a north american version of the Touch Diamond....I have updated it at least 20 times,tried out different roms....and still kicking.....all you gotta do is follow the steps.
-I used Olipro´s unlock tool and NO problem whatsoever.
If you have any questions just shoot me a PM.
See ya.

I currenly use PDAMOBIZ rom, in my personal opinion is the best of all the roms (I tried almost everyone of them)

End of (official) HTC ROM support for the Diamond?

hi guys,
do you think we'll see any more official ROMs from HTC? The latest I know of, are the 1.93.xxx series. It seems they are working on the odd radio update (probably to try and stop unlocking?)
I recall they gave up with the Trinity after about 10 minutes. Thanks god for the cookers...
I'm very unimpressed with the performance of TF in general. If it was a bit snappier I'd be a lot happier.....Then again maybe WM6 is part of the problem - I don't know.
Love the handset and the screen.....

Well.. HTC have just released version 1.96.710.3 on the Asia web site for the Diamond for the Australian Optus and Vodaphone carriers. Won't flash onto the Telstra model - gives an Invalid Model ID error.
I believe this can be fixed however.
Perhaps someone would care to flash it and check to see what has been updated?

Link please??

[Q] ROM upgrade question??

hello guys
i have the HTC Touch Diamond (p3700) from rogers, and i was wondering since the phone is locked to the rogers network, is it possible for me to install a custom rom on the phone?? or do i have to do the sim unlock to do that??
sorry, this might be a noob question but i need the question answered as i had the O2 Xda Mini S before my HTC which was unlocked and this is the first time i actually purchased a phone from rogers since i get all my phones from out canada
thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it

i have a rogers HTC diamond as well.. and its got the winmob 6.1 5.2.19965 build 1.2.3 Year 2008.. the HTC website doesnt let me download the feb 2009 firmware as the device is not suitable..
a few simple Noob questions please..
1 - its working in my country with other network sims, all of them but the phone strartup says rogers... is my cell unlocked or not?
2 - will Hard Spl remove everytrace of rogers from my phone? (i actually wana debrand it from rogers to plain standard retail version)..
3 - Will any firmare upgrade using hardspl method work on my cell?.. and what will happen to the orignal FW? will it be erased permanently, or will it still be stored in a secret storage, so that it can be retrieved later when i plan to sell it later and rest to factory defaults?
Again, as a newcomer and a noob at the Xda dev scene, i would apreciate any kind of help .
thanks in anticipation..

Hi,
As far as I know, you should be able to install any ROM you want.
But make sure you have flashed Hard-SPL Olinex Unsigned,
just try the link in my sig and follow steps 6 - 11.
You still need an unlocker to make it possible using other networks though.

1. Yes your phone is unlocked, but you are using a rogers customized ROM. Try a different ROM to remove it.
2. No, Hard-SPL will not remove it. You'll need to flash another ROM to do that.
3. Firstly, if you are flashing/upgrading a new firmware (we call it ROM) then all data will permanently removed.
There are some packs to revert your ROM back to stock, but I don't know if there are any Rogers ROM's available on the net.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
Good luck both!

hey thanks a lot for the reply, finally someone replies, and this method will not brick my phone right?? since that is what scares me the most the fact that i mite end up bricking my phone

Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems..
the only thing is,, i tried the 6.5 Prototype rom and rogers sill show up on the startup screen.. i flashed the splash screen, and still the lower 100pixels appear pink, out of no where..
and i simply wana DEBRAND the whole **** of rogers from it, so that i can upgrade the 2.0.0.00 rom version to the HTC official 2.0.43 version, but evertime i download from there, and try updating it, it says, Model ID not compatible..
is there a way to remove the entire rogers crap from it, and get it cleaned like a retail version?...
Thanks a lot sir..

No, it shouldn't brick your phone. In fact, Hard-SPL makes your device hardly brickable. Just try it, you will not be dissapointed. But, it's not my responsabillity if you brick you diamond, keep that in mind.

The splash screen is a harder part to do. You need Patchsplash to patch your splash screen. In that way, the splash screen should appear right. Note that the procedure to do that is pretty hard. Here are some more instructions if you didn't get it.
And about a Diamond stock ROM, take a look here. A 2.03.4 ROM including a new radio and the splash screen.
Good luck guys!

No prob my friend, xda-devs is to help each other.
To recommend a ROM is pretty hard, since there are very different kind of ROMs available.
Do you want a ROM with full Diamond2 experience, without WM 6.5(.x) try Gen. Y D2 R4.
Or, do you prefer a light WM6.5(.x) ROM, try BSB 6.5.1. It is pretty fast and light.
In a short time, I am going to release a 6.5.1 ROM (called Condor GT), with very nice graphics and still very fast.
Just give some a shot and you'll soon find out which ROM is the best.
BTW All the ROMS given in this thread are better that stock ROMs, just to be clear
