i have lokked everwhere for this so if someone can help with a link or an explaination please help.
I have downloaded the rom. How do i upgrade the rom. Step by step proess please.
Thank you very much in advance.
Step 1: Stop being lazy and do your research.
If you won't find anything, follow the instructions from my Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1187445
aarbiser,
Go the the Wiki page for the Trinity:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...me=HTC_Trinity
Read through this thoroughly before upgrading. The key is to understand how you flash back the ROM you currently have, in case of a problem. Back up everything on your Trinity & storage card before doing anything.
Remember, some of these ROMs don't have all the programs your stock ROM came with. For example, if ROM you flash to doesn't have MSN, which you need, then you'll have to install MSN cab separately, after the ROM flash. Any ROM you flash to is likely to have some issues & no Trinitys have been seen flying or making crop circles after the WM6 upgrade...so be careful with your expectations.
If you aren't sure how to upgrade with these ROMs, wait a litle longer (1-2 months), as HTC will eventually have an upgrade for WM6. The beauty of ROMs on this forum is that they contain many improvements, besides the OS upgrade aspect.
Here's a good step by step site. Its for the Hermes but the idea is almost the same.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php
I don't want to be harsh, nor flame anyone, but if you don't understand how to flash a ROM, you really ought to wait till official versions are released, because Beta WM6 (or any other WM version for that matter) ROM's will require some 'expert' registry or system fiddling at some point, which needs a fairly good basic understanding of the systems.
Stoopid noobie question:
cant find any instructions for the hard SPL. On the hermes instructions it only has 2 files but the trinity one has 6 files...
enter bootloader.exe
rapitool.exe
ROMupdateutility.exe
RUU_signed.nbh
RUUGetInfo.exe and
RUUResource.dll
.. i followed this on the hermes guide website but this step here is different to the trinity........
which to use first? do i use them all before installing the new WM6 ROM?
Do i need to install the new radio version (GSM 1.41.00.11)? Trying to make so if i need to get it fixed under warranty i can just flash back the Aussie 3 ROM and they will be none the wiser....
Can anyone help?
How about someone writing a step by step guide for those of us who are yet to do this..... everyone had a first time....
thanks
Scott
ok. i tried to run the ROM update utility but it wouldnt give me the option to change my SPL to 2.1 olipro..... how do i do this?
Cancelled this before i bricked my trinity......
thanks
ok. now i feel really stooopid.....
after doing the above i checked my bootloader and it is now: IPL-0.50 and SPL-1.07.0000
So, i now have hardspl on my trinity?
so to now install the new rom i just double click on the new rom file?
thanks

Most of the noobs CAN'T EVEN READ THE STICKY Threads at the top of the forum.
HERE IS A STEP BY STEP GUIDE WITH SCREENSHOTS for you noobs:
http://trinityguides.info
hello everyone,
I am a newbie. I bought a second hand htc tytn with windows mobile 6.1 prof CE OS 5.2.19716 (Build 19716.1.10) and rom version: 3.60.
I have some problems when I use it related to the program.
1. My power point can't work (word and exel work properly). when I tap it always in proggress but doesn't appear.
2. Some software can't work when I installed like Yahoo Go, Esmertec (to run java).
I need your suggestion in order to fix my PDA's problem.
Thank you guys.
regards
Install a different ROM! Read through wiki before you choose to install.
Hard SPL first...
Gather up some saints figures, some crosses, two or three Jesus Chist images and prey...
any suggestion which rom that can make all fuction work well.
there are many rom so i make me a little bit confuse how is the best.
thank you.
Sorry but the LAWS of the FORUM require that I close this thread:
1. Meaningless Thread Title.
2. Content of Thread demonstrates the OP has not searched for the solution to any of their woes.
3. Questions really belong in the proper thread discussing the Cooked Rom that is installed on the device.
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.

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 all,
i have a question about the manila on touch hd.. is there a way to update my touchflo3d to an 2.1 version without install a new rom? like using a cab or something??
no. before asking questions, do a search. If you had done that, you would have found numerous posts on this subject.
Hello
As stated there is no way without flashing.
But i encourage you to look into that option you will rediscover your phone and its a lot of fun.
Go to the Rom development forum and start reading.
its no so difficult.
I flashed my first rom a few days ago since then i have flashed quite a few ,so i came from the same place as you.
Good Luck and happy flashing
