Hello all,
I am new to this and I think you guys are amazing for tweaking your phones for your own customization.....I was wondering if I could use these ROMS for the vx 6800 which is verizon's equivalent to the hermes... If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated....
If your device looks like the ones on this page you should be able to flash these ROMS. To make sure you can enter bootloader: press both power button and ok button and soft reset the device - you should see three color screen - if it says HERM100 or HERM 200 or HERM 300 it is a Hermes and you can flash the ROMs from here. Just be sure to flash Hard SPL first to avoid bricking your device.
search after the guide by mrvanx... it's really good and has been a great help to me when I was flashing my herm3000 for the first time ;-)
Regards

!UPDATE! Your device seems to be HTC Mogul - also sold as Sprint PPC6800, you should ask about the flashing possibilites at this forum.

Hello,
I just picked up an HTC 6800 unit branded the P4000 from Telus. It came with WM5 and I would like to load WM6 on it. I've been reading lots around here trying to get all the tools and information I need to move forward but more than anything I'm nervous that I will brick my phone. I know my phone is very new and I'm not sure if these tools will work on my model or not?
From what I understand I need to use the CID Unlock to allow me to upgrade my ROM and Radio for WM6.
I think with a little trial and error that I have enough knowledge to get this working it's just like I said I'm not sure if these tools will work on my phone.
Can someone please tell me if this will work or give me some links to other posts that might help.
Thanks in advance for everyones help,
Dave

DO NOT UPGRADE with WM6 in this forum! the phone you have is the Herald which is not the same as the Hermes. If I am right yours has a 200mhz chip and the keyboard slides out to the right. If you upgrade with the Hermes WM6 it will brick your device.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, IT IS A DIFFERENT PHONE!
Hello everyone.
This is starting to become a big mess. At least for me, so i think its better for us to start a thread with a list of available roms and with a description of what new on them , witch is the better boot and radio, etc, for each specific situation.
Joao Oliveira.
yeah...
great idea. i had so much trouble just find latest radio rom for i780.

Yeah.
At this point i don't know which eboot or radio or even rom to flash there are so many threads around and with confusing arguments that i thought i would be good to a concentrated thread with all the necessary info!
hmmm is there any other camera tool? cant even run my... giveing an error and closing it
We Need Our Own Forum!
I am running PDA DXHD1 and phone DXHC4. Everything is running fine, ie WIFI, GPS, etc. But I do agree a designated forum would be helpful for everyone to share knowledge on this great machine.
Yes Samsung i780 should have it's own forum but i don't we will be that lucky. The only non Htc/qtek forum there is one dedicated to and hp device (don't understand why??!) so ...
A question, did anyone tried to flash rom (phone, Pda or eboot) on network sim locked devices? I have one and i'm a bit scared of bricking it. And since there isn't any free unlocking solution available...
Thanks... lets keep the I-780 community growing here !!!

I have flashed my orange branded I780, the pda and radio rom and no problems.
maybe we should create something like the (unofficiel) ultimate I780 topic .. with a good startpost where some differences between roms are mentioned are the big bugs are explained / solved with the tweaks available.
just my 2 euro cents

It's living here on xda-dev. Thanks for keeping it alive.
dear forumners i have a ROM question for the i780 (especially for Mr. João Oliveira).
Is it possible to just update the phone (i780) with just some installation rom? what about hardware specifics or tech issues with each phone?
I have a TMN Portugal i780 but have unlocked it in order to use Vodafone PT... Other networks around the globe have released their updates to WM 6.x, 6.5.x. I wish i could do the same.
Any help?
Thank you

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

OK I'm a noob. I've just downloaded Gen.Y_D2_R5.3-WWE.7z for my HTC Touch Diamond P3700. (On Australia's 3G Network)
Now how do I go about installing it in my phone / flashing it? I've read a few posts but obviously it hasn't sunk in my brain. What do I need, is there additional software I need to complete the flashing. I've read a lot of stuff about cooking etc but have no clue.
Cheers, all help would be appreciated.

and this one is also very usefull:

Anywayz first of all your phone needs HardSPL to be able to flash other roms then the one that came with your device.
I'm sure you'll figure it out, cuz this noob did that too .
O and consider edtiting the subject of your topic cuz this has nothing to do with cooking (= creating a rom) but more with unlocking and flashing custom roms.
Good luck and have fun re inventing your Diamond!
